[While Coby is lacking when it comes to fully understanding how private filters work despite their ease of use in most circumstances, his concerns about their necessity rarely ever overlap in that same vein. So, when he decides to orient a message towards a handful of people all at once for the sake of catching their attention, he doesn't realize how an already rude concept can get progressively worse when introduced to everyone else, especially those not particularly involved.

Particularly as he turns on his camera in starting a video post, sticks two fingers in his mouth and releases an inhuman, extremely loud and even more shrill whistle from his lips.]

I have an announcement for my few students among you.

[Was it mentioned that this was done at 2AM?]

In 0300 hours, I'll be commencing a Virtual Reality Session which will entail experiences from a war you may never have heard of in history. As we've experienced the United Earth gaining superhuman abilities well beyond our scope, I believe this time of turmoil may be put into perspective if you experience something very similar.

Ah. For clarification, I had been looking to catch the attention of... Johnny D'Amico, Saul Goodman, Sango and Korra.

[Ow ow ow. When Korra responds, her hands are still over her ears.]

Okay, I get the message! You couldn't ask normally?

[chore_boy]

[Coby, finally pulling his fingers from his mouth, looked frankly towards the computer.

He was obviously not dressed for bed--still in his uniform of all things.]

What would normal be? I lack a whistle and this is a normal wake-up call.

[braavado]

I dunno, how about knocking?

[She rubs at her face and sighs. No going to sleep now.]

video;

[chore_boy]

I don't know where you live.

[Though, he could find out. As creepy as that implication was, all he had to do would be to listen...]

[coby pls]

I'm in room 203. Watch out if you drop by in the morning--Sokka's really grumpy when he gets woken up.

[Once the heart-attack has been quelled, and the ringing in her ears gone back down to... tolerable levels, Lenalee fills the feed, understandably rumpled. Here are some of the reasons tablets should be turned off before going to bed.]

Quite honestly, I think you've caught most of our attention.

[chore_boy]

[Coby paused, staring at the feed. That wasn't Saul.

...Was it Saul? Maybe he really needed to wear his glasses more.]

Why exactly do you say that? [Said he, in ignorance of himself.]

video, 1/2

[anklets]

[Only if Saul boasts a voice this feminine, roughened though it is by sleep. There's a rustle and the video blurs into darkness for a handful of moments- when it stills, she is better lit by the soft blue which illuminates the housing hallways.

Hushed:] That was.

video

[anklets]

Loud.

You aren't in the housing wings, are you?

video

[chore_boy]

No, I'm by the mess hall. [Cafeteria. Either way, Coby couldn't break away with his terminology with much ease at all. His own background was plain and white, barring dark spots from a general lack of wall-washing and repainting. It was tough to do aesthetic maintenance, though.]

Would it be better if I used a trumpet?

If you only wanted those guys you could have filtered your call you know.

[He sounds a bit grumpy because DUDE you almost woke up Lucy. Yes he's in her bed again. As is evident by the blond head poking from the corner of his screen.]

VIDEO

[chore_boy]

I apologize, Natsu. However, I have little experience in such things. I tried to do it a few times, but I think I mis-spelled things.

[No, he just doesn't have anyone around to help him do it.]

VIDEO

[explodewiththerage]

Ah. Well she didn't wake up so I guess it's okay.

[He looks down a little fondly before shifting his attention back to Coby.]

What are you really trying to get with that simulation anyway? Most people went on the raid of the UE and that was a pretty fierce fight too.

VIDEO

[chore_boy]

Mm. Well, I had been hesitating to ask before, but we've little to do, otherwise. That raid...

[He didn't want to sound insulting, but he had--]

I've seen worse, actually. It was a once-in-a-lifetime sort of confrontation, but there were bigger monsters in Marineford than there were in the struggles we've fought in.

[Ohh my god he didn't need to hear that so early in the morning]

[duplicitoussight]

C'mon, c'mon, why don't you use a blowhorn instead? (;¬_¬)

[chore_boy]

[He paused, considering it.]

If it has the right tone, it might work better. I'm not that good at whistling...

[duplicitoussight]

[Cue switching to a rather sleepy-looking blonde teen rubbing his head.]

That's a fantastic idea, a real great idea. Why stop at one, right? You should get yourself a whole arsenal of them.

video;

[charming_jerk]

I guess it ain't a bad idea. Count me in, man. I'm curious what ya got in store.

video;

[chore_boy]

It's still going to be optional, Johnny. I understand my training is harsh as it is.

video;

[charming_jerk]

][Coby, you get a look that says 'as if anyone can tell Johnny D'Amico what to do'. Not impressed, sir.]

"Harsh" is a word for it, but considering what I can do now thanks to it, ya won't get too much complainin' outta me.

video;

[chore_boy]

I'm glad you feel that way, at least. I hope my training gives you everything you need to protect whatever you can.

['Yourself, included' is something Coby wanted to say. After the first time, Coby was certain that enough of himself had been lost in that moment to cover for a number of crippling tragedies.]

But... [Still, he furrowed his brows.]

To tell you the truth, I'm still terrified of facing it. I'm wondering if this exercise is more for myself than you all.

[worldswillburn]

Saul's your student? That's new.

video;

[chore_boy]

He is. You know him, ma'am?

video;

[worldswillburn]

Yeah, we know each other.
