[ When the feed turns on, there's a poorly-shaven and generally scruffy guy in a labcoat peering critically into the lens. He might not look familiar, but when he speaks, Transports who have been around for a while may recognize the voice. ]

This thing on? Hey, looks like we're broadcasting. I'm a genius, as usual.

[ The view shifts as he tucks whatever is broadcasting into the front pocket of his shirt, showing a hallway within the Hold. His voice drifts in from off-screen: ] We got the best of the best having a powwow in here. You know, the fate of all of Exsilium, and stuff like that. They're gonna tell you guys when they're done, but I say we pick up the pace a little. We're on a tight schedule, you know? [ The view strides forward as he makes for a closed door. ] Just our little secret, alright? I'm not even supposed to be on your fancy network — like they could ever actually kick me off.

[ His voice drops with the last part as he pushes open the door. Inside are ten Initiative employees, and Saul and Medusa, seated at a table and looking terse. Someone shoots a frown toward our loyal broadcaster, who mutters an apology for his bladder and slides into the only empty seat. ]

( Cut for length and a transcript! Sort of. A prose transcript, because who really wants to read the word-for-word. )

[ The talk winds down, and someone near Saul and Medusa mutters to them, something along the lines of, I don't envy your job, telling everyone. Saul, already pissed and definitely having been on the "no" side of the voting, lunges for the guy — but is restrained by Medusa's hair. The view shifts again as the broadcaster lifts the camera from his pocket, turns it around to grin weakly into it. ]

Done and done, pals. It was the pen all along! Ha, told you I was a genius, noooo one feels like listening to poor old Sponde…

[ There's a quick raising of angry voices, but the feed ends and cuts them off. ]

[[ooc; Saul, Medusa, anyone else in DITR, and possibly the NPC will be responding to questions here, but also feel free to use this as a general IC discussion space!]]

[ Yutaka is seen standing on top of a messy bed, pillows and blankets strewn about, with 003 flapping heartily around him. In his hands- in his hands he has... two strands of hair. ]

Found them! Samples from Tsuzuki and Hisoka! Strands of hair! This is definitely their room so it's not Link's... right, 003?

Alright, all we need to do is input it onto Seer #5-- [ He jumps off the bed and picks a piece of round wood he'd left leaning against it. ] -- Hmm.

Maybe we should get you designed first? It's not like Tsuzuki and Hisoka are going to die anytime soon... maybe ... how about something outlandish? Feathers? Glowing eyes? Didn't we make Seer #4 like that? Something different then?

What do you think, 003? ♥

Or should we ask Link? You think he might have some idea from his world? oh. I guess if we don't like his suggestion we can just totally ditch it anyway!

Let's name this project- "Project Make Seer #5 look GREAT before rescuing two Idiots!" Yay!

[ ooc; Was sick so couldn't get this post out earlier Tsuzuki got himself kidnapped trying to save Hisoka. He didn't tell Watari. :( So he's making something to find them! Also, since we're going to the moon, Watari's little plot can still happen there.... ]

[ filter; all Mekakushi Dan members; video ]

[ She debated doing this as a voice post at first, but if she's going to actually address the entire Dan as the Exsilium branch leader for the first time, she needs to have her face be seen. She also needs to take a moment to come up with what exactly she wants to say, and how to say it.

How to be a leader when she's only twelve years of age.

Kotetsu & Barnaby would be having a fit over this, surely.

She's sitting on the couch and takes a deep breath before she opens her mouth. ]

Afternoon, everyone. My name is Kaede Kaburagi, and I am the Exsilium Branch Leader for the Mekakushi Dan. I wish I could be introducing myself to you all at the party Kido & I were planning, and on much more lighthearted terms, but that got squashed with the recent kidnappings.

As you all may have heard/watched a few minutes ago, we're now under a nuclear strike thanks to the United Earth, and we're moving to the moon. I just want to extend my assistance to anyone and everyone who may need help packing up items, especially those of importance. If you also wish, once you are completely packed with what you want to take up there, you are welcome to drop your bag, or bags, off in Unit 202, and you can even hang out here while the Initiative prepares to send us up. Kido, Kano, and I all want our door to be open for you all, especially in this time.



[ filter; Keith Goodman & Karina Lyle; video ]

[ And now that that is done, she shakes the numb feeling settling in her hands and takes several more deep breaths before making another filter. ]

Hey! Are you both okay? I'm sorry I disappeared for the past several weeks — the UE got their hands on me, but I'm okay.

[ Ella is standing in front of the Hold, looking serious.

She usually doesn't look serious, guys. ]

So, alright, we're leaving. We really are. I just have to say a little something. I've got powers. Lots of them, it's sort of ridiculous. Anyway, if you are hurt or incapacitated in any way, come to me, or tell me where to find you. I can make you better even if you think it's impossible. Impossible it's my second name. Ella Impossible Ellis. I just never use it because alliteration is kind of funny.

[ She sighs and passes a hand through her hair. That was all the humor she can muster right now. ]

We're going I don't even know where, so I want you all to get there in the best possible shape. So, the offer is open until the last ship leaves. Also, if you need clothes, I've prepared a bunch already, in a lot of sizes. Come and pick some, but think of the rest.

[ More hair raking. She's more tired than she's letting on, of course. ]

That's all I wanted to say, so get moving guys.

((OOC: This post can easily go to Action if needed be, by the way.))

[She knows she's grasping at straws, the ends will occur as they always have regardless of an answer. But she wants to know and she's hesitated long enough. She just hopes that her hesitation is not what will cost everyone in the end.]

I'd like to speak to a member of the Initiative directly. Please, it's urgent.


[OOC: SORRYSORRYSORRYMODS I know yous are all busy so disregard if you wanna. Otherwise, it's an open post.]
