Ah!

[ her little exclamation of surprise has all the delight of a child discovering something new. vanozza looks off-camera for a moment to someone who remains unseen as if to say, "Look! I did it!" her broad smile settles into something more controlled when she returns to the tablet.

vanozza has her dark hair plaited back. she wears her red silks again, dry now, for she knew she was to address the network. a rosary lies around her neck, the cross tucked into the bosom of her gown. ]

What a curious toy! It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance. I am Vanozza. [ her family name she withholds. she knows not who may be listening. ]

As I am sure we are all occupied, I will make this brief: I require a seamstress from whom to commission several gowns. I have one with me that may serve as a template.

A maid, too, to assist me with daily chores. Nothing difficult, I assure you. Matter of payment can be arranged after meeting.

[ her son will be vetting applicants fyi. ]

Lastly, directions to a church. A chapel will be as welcome. [ she only seeks the peace of one. her son is a cardinal; her sins are forgiven. ]

So many youths gathered here. [ she had again looked off-camera, her smile fond, before speaking. as she returns her attention to the tablet, the smile adopts a wry turn. ] Perhaps I should be honored to be an exception.

Um—

[ A wild Confused Blond appears! He seems to be perpetually inclined to not sit still, one hand clapped over the back of his neck even while he addresses his communicator, a trio of thin braids caught in his fingers. After a brief pause during which a lot of searching high and low for the proper words occurs, he breaks out into a smile, dropping his hand from the back of his neck. ]

Hi.

[ Awesome start. ]

I'm Gino Weinberg, the Knight of Three. I guess I was drafted into a completely different—sect?—though, judging by the the briefing I just got finished with! I don't mind helping out and all, but I'm not really sure I'm following the objectives here. Not that missions these days—or ever, really—are so clear-cut, but specificity is the quickest way to avoid a misunderstanding, to quote someone much wiser and more boring than I am, haha. Then again, Beatrice always did tend to have respectable advice, it's a shame she—ahhh...

[ Getting a little distracted, and he notices it. He laughs, rubbing the back of his neck again, but immediately lets his hand drop off-camera again afterward. ]

Anyway! I was hoping someone could point me toward the quickest way to check in with my superiors about this, because they already had me going on an assignment as it is, and I'd hate to let them down! Thanks in advance.

[Bolin's hair is slicked back and while he can't really afford to put together a new costume for this UBER IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT, he manages to make it work.]

[So it seems that this one has finally taken the initiative to actually use the network for his own purposes, aside from actually listening to others speak of their problems and their questions.

Mainly, because he has one of his own.]

It would seem many of us from a very different time find ourselves here in the city. Almost two thousand years, for some, or perhaps a little less. For those of us blessed with such a time difference, what is it that you remember? How was it in your time, before all of this, before all of these devices and these machines?

[He just wants to keep tabs on everyone from around his time alright?]
