[Sesshoumaru is an intelligent being, and despite the lack of advanced technology in his time, he has been able to figure out how the strange tablet he had been given worked--merely by observing others using theirs.

With a reluctant respect for the humans who created this item, the Demon Lord activates the video feed, giving everyone a good look at his scowling visage. He's not one to make long speeches, but he's about to make one thing perfectly clear.]

I am not your ally. I will not fight for you, or with you.

[His eyes narrow dangerously.]

I do not care about this war. It was started by humans; it can be finished by humans. You created this problem, do not expect me to help you resolve it.

[He is silent for a moment, before making a dismissive-sounding "Hmph" and shutting off the feed.]

[Filtered away from one Rika Furude.]

I have a question for everyone. Say someone you know's seemed really down in the dumps lately. What would you do to try and cheer them up?

That's all I wanted to ask. Thanks!

[For Henry, the past month has been rougher than any other in recent memory. Confessing to the only person in this wretched place he is comfortable calling a friend that she'd been keeping intimate company with a vampire was more emotionally trying than he expected. But that paled in comparison to a week spent living--finding himself with a pulse for the first time in four and a quarter centuries--and then having it taken away again.]

Surely I'm not the only one who'd rather our personal timelines never sorted themselves out.

[Saori blinks at first when the feed starts and then sits up. She's sitting up on the rooftop of the housing units.]

Somehow, I’m not exactly surprised I got pulled into a different world. I just never thought I would be brought from one world to a completely new one. Hmm, I don’t suppose anyone here has heard about an island called Prospero or even the power of a Persona, would they? Well, it was worth a shot I suppose. My name is Saori, by the way. Hold on a sec. 

[She notices a name on the board she recognizes. At first her face brightens up but it falls.]

So Tenjou was here...damnit and I thought I could finally see him again after so long.

[ooc: I have a CR permissions post now. Please comment in the post if you'd like her to remember your character.]

[ a rather tired-looking blond man can be seen sitting on a couch in what appears to be initiate-provided housing; he gives the camera an equally tired wave. ]

Ah-- hello, everybirdie. [ he smiles, folding his hands in front of him. ] It's been quite hectic recently, hasn't it? I hope I'm not adding too much to the commotion.

But... I was wondering if someone could help me find something in the markets. It's [ a pause; should he describe it, maybe? new worlds and all that... ] a bit like a backwards coat, but it's meant to be worn indoors. It's very similar to a blanket, and... very warm...

[ he continues mumbling for a few moments before trailing off completely, his head falling forwards. he spends more than a few moments just... sleeping... but near the end of the recording, his head jerks back up suddenly. ]

Where was I? Hmm... oh, yes. Just let me know if you have any ideas.
