Ah, there we go.

[There’s the sound of something tapping. Someone familiar with the habit may recognize a person tapping down a pack of cigarettes.]

This place is unique, to say the least. Interesting, I suppose you might say. A good cause, etcetera, when they're not trying to drop a building on us. I trust that part doesn't happen too often.

However I seem to have misplaced a few companions on the way here, which I’m sure is entirely their fault. They answer to the names Kenren, Konzen, and Goku. If you happen to run into any of them, and they’re still alive when you do, send them my way, won’t you? I’m sure they’re lost without me.

[The same tapping sound again.]

And cigarettes. This place does have them, doesn’t it? I wasn’t exactly packed for a long trip before I got here. Sake would also be acceptable, especially if this rain never lets up.

[Finally the sound of a lighter clicking open and the feed cuts out.]


( Action for anyone looking for the source of the smoke or the other #910 residents. )

[Lights on Cedric sitting in his room, twirling his wand in his hand. It's decorated in glittering yellow and black, flashing bright because a bored wizard needs to amuse himself somehow.]

That was a remarkably quick repair job on the housing building. I do wish I would've been allowed to help more, but I'm glad it's done. Having a space of my own is nice.

But is anyone else bothered by how...idle life is around here, for lack of a better term? Oh, sure, there's action sometimes, but I personally haven't seen any in ages. It feels as though I've been sitting on the sidelines of someone else's life, watching all the excitement pass me by. All my life, I thought I was going to be taming dragons or breaking dangerous spells or dueling other wizards when I grew up. Instead, the worst that's happened to me is that I was stuck as a unicorn for a week a while ago.

[He ruffles his hair awkwardly, still embarrassed by that memory.]

I need to be accomplishing something with my life, really making it count, and I'm just not getting there. So if you'd like to combine your abilities with magic to make a nice change to this place, or you have some exciting task that a wizard would be qualified to help with, please let me know? I have all day, except for the afternoons when I work at Saori's tea shop. It might not be the most exciting job, but it's nice to unwind sometimes.

Now that we have been resettled...

This is around the time of year that Children's Week is celebrated, isn't it? It is a festival that honors those who we fight for...and that reminds us that our wars affect more than just soldiers. 

[Yeah, that was a little melancholy. She's had a bit on her mind, since her DK field trip. She gives a small sigh.]

I suppose there isn't much here, but perhaps I could find some sort of treat  if anyone would like to celebrate with me. Children are important, after all.

Oh-! Oh, Exsilium! How wonderful to see you once again!

[The red-skinned, four eyed alien behind the camera looks utterly delighted, though by the looks of her surroundings she’s found herself in a very depressing and shabby-looking building. But still, all four of her eyes are crinkled in delight and her grin is wide, and toothy. She obviously couldn't wait long to post this; judging by the background of the video, she’s in the courtyard of the Initiative Hold, and is occasionally wiping droplets of water from her tablet with one hand.]

Wonderful, again! Has it been long since I was gone!? How is the Clinic? It is thrilling to have returned!

[She pauses for a handful of seconds, and looks away, her expression turning from bright to cheerful, to something more restrained, thoughtful.]

Ah. But. I suppose, I should ask. If my captain has returned. If my friends are still...still well. If the war is still present. Though I am certain it is. [She sighs, then grins once again, her slightly-somber mood apparently over.]

Of course, I am still eager to assist! As I have before! It is my duty as long as I am here!

Transports of Exsilium! I am Kinna Nananea! A doctor- a medical doctor, I understand this distinction is important for humans! Please address to me all your medical complaints!

[ A very cheerful woman with an SLR camera hanging from her neck. ]

How's everyone doing with the housing shuffle? Do you like your new roommates? This is a great opportunity to meet new people and have exciting relationships! This sounds like a perfect time to have a picture taken, doesn't it?

If anyone wants a commemorative photo of you and your new friends, drop a message here or visit me at Unit 508 [finger snap and point!] especially if you're a cute girl.

My Sakura! Mister GuyBad! You're not exempt from this. You better be ready when I'm done with this message. Chan-Kuroh, Chan-Shiro, be nice to your new roommates, okay?

[ And she's done. ]

[If Nate sounds tired and cranky, it's because he is. Still injured from the mission, having the psychic feedback of everyone grumpy about the whole exploding spaceship thing bouncing around his head - yeah. Not a happy camper here. Which is probably also why he sounds a bit defensive.]

Look, at least nobody died, alright?

[Filtered to Raiden and Nikolas Kamarov | Video]

[...Yeah, he looks about as tired as he sounds. Sorry, new roomies.]

Hi. I'm Nathan. Don't touch my stuff. That goes double for the coffee - and if you do, I'll know.
