[The feed clicks on and the screen is filled with a very cheerful one-eyed vampire, smiling rather energetically.]

HELLO EVERYONE! [Please don't mind his shouting..he's just trying to make sure everyone gets a very cheerful greeting.]

I hope everyone is doing well! I am very excited for whatever this event is that the other people are getting ready for. I'm sure it is going to be a lot of fun!

[Oh wait..this isn't supposed to be some social chat, he had a purpose right? Right!]

Ah! I just wanted to make sure everyone had a nice start to the day! Oh and to let you know that there are lots of really nice people that are going to be working at that new host club so make sure you come and meet them! We'll make sure you have a great time. You even get to pick who you get to meet! I'm sure it's going to be a lot of fun.

I'm already having lots of fun working in the tavern. You should all come to that too! Ahh..I'm staying so busy! Oh right! That reminds me..I wanted to ask a question! What does everyone else like to do while they are here? I bet there are all kinds of fun activities that people take part it.

[He's certainly full of energy today..]

[It is a very groggy samurai that appears in the SFC feed. Over a week of sleeping has left Mitsuhide with many aches and a great hunger; he has not eaten yet, but has obviously washed himself. His hair, loose about his shoulders, has a sheen to it that suggests it is still a little damp. He runs a hand through it as he talks.]

This is perhaps the third time in two years that the cursed sleep has affected me. Odd, how Lord Motochika is often affected at the same time...

[A pause, and then Mitsuhide turns his head away from the feed to yawn quietly before getting to the main point of this post:]

Tama, I wish to talk to you as soon as you are free.

[Alister's got a lot on his mind, lately.

As if it weren't bad enough that the stranger he'd encountered in the junkyard had been another Lombax, he went back home to find that the other hadn't been answering his SFC. And like the paranoid concerned father-figure he thought himself to be, he'd forced himself back to the apartments to check on his friend.

...finding him in a coma on his own bed.

Since then, the Elder hadn't moved from his spot. So when the feed sparks to life, there is a large, white Lombax sitting on the floor by the bed, keeping a careful eye on the motionless lump in front of him.]

...you took care of me. Both times.

It's about time I returned the favour.

[Shifting a little, he adjusts the sheets over his companion.]

[ooc: Tsumi's on hiatus for a bit, so Al's taking care of things while he's gone. And everything was already pre-approved for this. o7]

Has anyone see Roy Mustang. I can't seem to locate him anywhere, and it's unlike the man to simply wonder off.

It's most worrying and I'm not sure how else I should go about looking for him in such a place.

[If Maka looks casual as possible when the feed turns on...well, it's an act, but a surprisingly convincing act considering how bad she is at faking anything for any reason usually. There's quite a number of stuff going through her mind right now, but...]

You know, it's my country's independence day today. I don't usually do much for that except go out and watch fireworks...but I wonder if you can even get any fireworks down here?

[Filtered to Rin]

Hey, I'm really sorry about the weird message. I didn't mean to freak you out, so...we can talk about it now.

...Maybe we can go up to the island and talk? I actually did manage to find some fireworks. I guess they don't bother with verifying your age around here.

[ oh hey look. it's one of the newcomers. This one's a bit fluffy. ]

You know, this place isn't so bad. True, I'm stuck here away from most of my friends, but all the food I can eat without spending a yen is pretty good. I've stocked up the kitchen and somehow haven't cleared out the market. It's pretty extensive here. [ someone's a bottomless pit... ]

Yugi-kun is here somewhere, has anyone seen him? He's a very good friend of mine from home.

Oh! Does anyone else here know how to play Duel Monsters? This place can't be completely void of Duelists and gamers.
