[Guess who's been sleeping for the last 24 hours since the crash. Ricasthix looks bleary and irritable.]

The network hasn't been this chaotic since the bombing runs, and your shouting is starting to give me a headache. Just what is going on out there? Some kind of accident at the Hold?

[Private to Sonic, unrelated to all of that.]

Incidentally, I tried actually tracing the results of our incident with the monk and the shaved ham. It may put a damper on the mirth of the situation.

Curious?

[ For someone that is a bit bruised and battered, he seems to be in a rather good mood. His attitude might be from the rather ample actress dabbing at a cut on his forehead or maybe the bottle of whiskey he's sipping from. Whatever the case, Takegami salutes the camera with the bottle. ]

A toast for those of us that had decided to remodel the apartment complex. Let us hope that we will get something with a touch more color in their new design, mm?

[ Destruction? Injuries? Possible death? What's that to him? He's got whiskey! ]

I have been told that if some of you need a temporary place to stay, there is room enough in the theater's warehouse. Mind, you can't light fires in there but it is out of the rain and there are plenty of blankets to go around.

[anyone standing outside the Temporary Housing this afternoon might see a portly, bearded fellow in a black raincoat and broad-brimmed fedora, standing near the edge of the road with a black doctor's bag in one hand and his room assignment ticket in the other. the rain rolls off the brim of his hat and down the back of his coat as he squints through his glasses at the site]

I think their idea of "fourteenth floor" is a little different than mine.

[he clears his throat and starts to move closer to the dwellings]

Hello?!

[This is the second time only that he's used video function, only because he knows about a suspicious paranoid fellow Guild member who will demand to see him. He looks wind-swept, tired and grumpy, the latter of which is basically his usual expression.

He's standing to one side of a building that's he come in front, and he nods his head at someone off screen before he finally looks at the camera.]

At least the other place was hospitable. This place is still the same, though I see the addition of a flying machine has been added. I missed out on some entertainment. [He doesn't particularly sound enthused and his eyes narrow dangerously.] I'll be interested to hear some of your adventures in a private talk. [Maybe at gunpoint.]

[He openly sneers before changing to private setting. Someone woke on up the wrong side of the hovercraft.]

( [Private to Elza] )

[She looks mostly amused at the whole ordeal, what people are making out of this.]

An' you lot couldn't understand why I choose not t'live in that metal buildin' o' yours. Well now you've some ship they say flies in the sky. I'll keep my camp, I think.

( ( private to remy ) )

[The video shows someone that may be familiar to a few, but who hasn't been seen for a while.

Also for some reason, she looks as though she is dressed like some sort of super hero or something.]

So.... I'm back here, apparently? Yay, I guess.

Anyone want to explain the spaceship? This is why you shouldn't drink and drive.

[A dark-haired girl in strange clothes from a bygone era appears on the screen, somewhat askew, a sure sign that she has never used anything like the tablet before. She's frowning and looks more than a little overwhelmed.]

Ah. Hello? That woman said I could communicate with the others here on this thing, but... I'm not really sure how it works. I fear none of the technology I've seen here is available where I'm from. Looks like stuff from Kagome's time... Also--I believe something was said about temporary housing? And a... space ship? [It's clear by the way she says this that she has no idea what that's supposed to mean.]

Anyway, my name is Sango. [There's a meow off screen, and Sango shifts the camera to show a glimpse of a cream-and-black two-tailed cat perched on her shoulder.] Oh, and this is Kirara.

While I understand that the... problems here do need solving, and I would normally be happy to assist, there's something important going on back in my own world. And... there didn't seem to be much in the briefing about going home.
