Fifth promise; accidental video

[If you're in the Lower District today, somewhere between the dividing line between the Middle and Lower Districts and the forest, you may have seen Rinoa running full speed. And if you have quick eyes, you might have seen why; she's been chasing after one of these little guys. This particular bugger got a hold of her SFC, and she's been in pursuit since he nabbed it right outside her home.

The video is accidentally kicked on when Rinoa manages to pelt something at the Unversed, knocking her SFC out of its grip. It clatters to the ground, spinning on its back. The camera lens is facing a random direction, but Rinoa can be see in its very periphery.

She ducks suddenly, just before the Flood launches at her. It doesn't move like a normal living thing. It's certainly not like any monster Rinoa's seen. It glides across the ground, almost like a shadow. Rinoa's backpedaling now, keeping her eyes on the thing.

However, it manages to slide past her and reemerge from behind. Before she can turn around in time, it snaps up from the ground and lands a hit on her. While it's nothing lethal or even that serious, it does draw blood, and it sends Rinoa stumbling back.

The sorceress at this point has had enough. Just as the creature leaps back to prepare another attack, Rinoa's hand snaps back and she conjures up a toasty Fira spell and whips it at the Unversed. It might be hard to see from the SFC, but one might notice a faint pair of angel wings that sprouted from her back when she cast the spell. Needless to say, once the spell is done, the sucker's fried, and the wings disappear quickly.

The impromptu battle over, Rinoa limps over to her SFC. She's got a hand over her wound, but when she moves the other hand to grab her communicator, she notices it's on. She mutters,]

Anyone know what that thing was?

[voice] - Except It's Not April 1st Anymore

[There's a very brief pause before Squall's voice can be heard.]

This is Squall Leonhart. I speak on the behalf of the Defense Force.

A body was found in the carnival. It was hanging upside down on the ferris wheel, held up with wires.

If anyone has any information at all that could be related to this incident, let us know. You can speak to us here or come see us in person.

That is all.

[Tatsumi is sometimes able to unable to sleep at night, but he doesn't need that much sleep anyway. During his latest walk he noticed the coral is not glowing as bright as usual, but maybe it's just him? Either way, he might as well ask, because maybe someone else might confirm his suspicion.]

Good evening, Vatheon residents. Has anyone noticed the coral's glow has grown fainter since yesterday? Maybe I didn't notice it before, but I'm pretty sure last night it wasn't as bright as usual.

Oh another subject. Zelda told me about the defense group you have in the city. I would like to offer my services, in case you need them. Alternatively, I also have experience working as a secretary.

Regards to everyone

Third promise; Video

[Before the feed starts, in the vicinity of the Lower District, you might hear a loud explosion. Okay, well, it's not terribly big, but in a relatively peaceful bubble-shaped underwater dome, it's rather noticeable. If you're really close by, you'll even see the roof of a tool shed go flying in the air before landing unceremoniously somewhere.

But like any explosion it all ends rather quickly. The silence holds for a beat before a panic-stricken Rinoa comes onto the SFC.]

Sorry! So sorry! Please don't panic if you heard, heard all of that! That was just me.

[Behind her, there are the remains of a now very charred and destroyed tool shed. Luckily Rinoa doesn't seem to be harmed; she's more embarrassed than anything.]

I'll, um, try to pay for damages and stuff. [Good thing she got that job.] Can't believe this happened. I wasn't even aiming at the shed...

((ooc: Rinoa is trying to get a hold on her powers. Needless to say, she's not off to a stellar start.))

A few questions for you all, Vatheon. After speaking with several people about this, my curiosity started to grow about one particular subject;

Magic.

How many people come from a world where it's common knowledge? How many people here can perform it? And what of its resources?

This is why Squall has come to hate dreams.]

Not that this place isn't interesting and all, but... I clearly got on the wrong airship or something.

Okay, I hate to be the new guy asking all the new guy questions that I bet all you locals have heard before, but where exactly is this? My gut tells me not on Gaia or anywhere near Alexandria.

Dagger, you're not here too, are you? Crap.

[What kind of game was Seifer playing at now? Sure, this was totally different than something the bully normally pulled, but he was the only one who would get a kick out of Hayner waking up in a water fountain.

Hold up. What the hell?!

Why was there WATER in the sky?

Hayner seriously felt sick. Very sick and disoriented. Last thing he remembered was racing from the Usual Spot with Olette and Pence to meet up with Roxas. What the heck was going on?

The most likely perpetrator was approaching with a dumb smile on their face .

The SFC clattered roughly to the ground as the blond slammed the poor local against the wall of a shop. The placement of the star shaped device would only allow for viewers to have a nice view of the "sky" above.]

What gives?! Who are you and where the heck am I? Was it those picture freaks that put you up to this?! Where are my friends?

Current Mood: lethargic

So... I have family now. Sort of.

[It's... an new feeling, to say the least. His parents died when he was little, so he's never had anyone related by blood with him in a long time. His fellow knights from the Academy were the closest thing to family he's ever had. And Zelda.

Anyway, back on topic. Link has been avoiding the buildings so far during his stay here, choosing instead to make a camp up on the island. But now he's reconsidering the whole thing.]

Could someone tell me about the, uh... 'apartments' and the like?

VIDEO | Let's talk about MURDERS

[Serph looks serious when this video turns on, but his voice is even and calm as he addresses the residents of Vatheon.]

...You've likely seen the body of a nurse in the plaza. The Defense Force will be putting in place more patrols.

[Pretend there is a detailed map of Vatheon here instead of the approximated one the mods have drawn. On this map, there are blinking dots to represent homes people have volunteered for use as a safehouse in times of danger, accompanied by a text list:

MIDDLE DISTRICT
[Near Plaza] The Crow's Nest Bar
[East] Clinic

LOWER DISTRICT
Coral Corral, House 2
Phanga Neighborhood, Hive 15
Phasma Apartments, Floor 1, Room 3
RED Base (stay out of the basement laboratory)

FOREST QUADRANT
Embryon Base

ISLAND
Village

There's one other unlisted safehouse. Serph has a record that House 4 of the Coral Corral can replace House 2 if the latter can no longer be used, since having two safehouses next to each other is kind of pointless.]

These are the locations of safehouses for people to use. They have a magical barrier around them, courtesy of Zelda.

[There's a small pause, before he continues.]

It's clear we know very little regarding this murder. If we pool our knowledge and ideas here, we will come closer to finding the root of this.

[ooc: Feel free to use this as an open forum of discussion etc. so THREADJACK AWAY. I'm unfortunately going to be slow because of university :|

Defense Force people, especially those who are willing to do some extra time patrolling, you can assume you've been instructed to do so.]

[ a simple message appears on the network today ]

My name is Pharos and I am looking for Arisato Minato. Can someone direct him to me? Thank you.

[video] - Your Defense Force is now led by a Lion, a Fox, and Minato

[The first things that are seen when the SFC is turned on is Minato Arisato and Serph, but after a moment, they’re joined by Squall Leonhart. There’s a curious orange stripe on his jacket’s right sleeve.

It’s Minato who speaks first, looking into the SFC calmly.]

Hey, everyone. I just have a bit of an announcement to make. Serph-san-- [And here he indicates Serph] And Squall-san [And then he’ll just gesture to the other] will be joining me in running the Defense Force, so if you need any help or have any questions, you can come to any of us.

[There’s a moment of silence before Squall speaks. He crosses his arms.]

There’s something else we’d like to get people’s opinions on. Someone has told us they can create small devices designed to release a signal whenever the person it’s attached to is maliciously attacked. This signal is sent to the Defense Force and help can be dispatched right away. It only emits this signal when it senses a malicious attack. It will not be used to spy on anyone, as it lacks the capabilities to do so. Wearing this device is completely voluntary and we’re told that it will not be disruptive to a person’s daily life. We want to know whether you would feel safer with this device and if you would wear it if it was available. We’ll be listening to what everyone has to say. Be honest. If you have any questions about these, feel free to ask them and we’ll try to answer them the best we can.

[He’s done now and looks at Serph. YOUR TURN.]

Lastly, the idea of multiple safehouses was brought up by Darkleer earlier. We believe it is a good idea.

If you wish to volunteer your home as a safehouse, let us know. It will be placed on a map for people to be directed towards during times of danger.

[Is that all they have to announce? Yeah? Yeah. It’s clear they’re done but... the SFC is still on? Squall looks at Minato.]

You said you wanted to go shopping. Do you want to do that today? Or is tomorrow better?

Today is fine, Squall-san. Where should we start?

Wherever. We’re getting things for Serph, right?

[Hey wait what. YOU GUYS, THE SFC IS STILL ON YOU KNOW??? YOUR DEFENSE FORCE LEADERS, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN. Serph’s ending the post before these doofuses record the entire shopping trip to the network :|

5 ♐ Video ♐ Serious McSeriousface

[Well, that certainly is Darkleer appearing on the screen today. You would think him of all people would want to avoid showing up on the network with the thought bubbles running about. His is even right behind him, floating serenely. It's not shaped like some others may be. In fact, it's square, relatively flat, and almost seems like a window of some sort. Huh.]

[It soon becomes obvious that he's not worried because the thought window is certainly a busy little bee. Even as he pulls away from the SFC he's placed on his workbench, it's already flashing with images, all crowded against one another. Wires, motors, gears and pistons and mathematical equations of all sorts. They're stringed and pulled together, solving more than just one invention, more than one idea that he is mulling over and trying to piece together in his mind. Schematics. It's all schematics.]

[Settling himself, Darkleer adjusts his shades- still the same cheap ones he's been wearing since he gave the Psiioniic his original pair- and begins to quietly speak.]

I normally do not indulge in video, but something seems that for some reason, the buttons on my communicator have yet to work. It is going to take a while to fix them properly, so I decided that I would simply make a post now.

[In one corner of the thought window, another schematic is being made, the lines in blue. It looks like a large bird of some kind, but it disappears from view quick enough.]

The last time I contacted the network, it was to discuss a way of learning more about this place. In one of the conversations I had, we discussed about the invasions Vatheon is occasionally prone to. It was agreed that multiple safehouses set across the bubble.

[If one is looking closely, behind all the ideas and inventions and schematics that is in Darkleer's mind, they could possibly see a map of Vatheon.]

When I say 'multiple' safehouses, I do not mean every second building, nor do I mean a fortified fortress. But it would be ill advised to have merely one safehouse. What if someone is on an entirely different level of the city, after all?

I would like input on this idea.

[Encrypted to the Vatheon Defense Force]

After recent events that have been occurring, particularly to individuals that I know, I would like to offer some assistance. While normally the residents of this city are more or less... peaceful, I have noticed an increase, however brief, in dangerous individuals coming to the city. Their targets are not always able to use their communication device to contact help.

I'd like to discuss a solution I have in mind. Preferably with those in charge, but I believe the rest of you should have your own say as well.

[Two new images in the thought window: one dissecting an intricate mechanical bug and another of, strangely enough, a bow and arrow.]

[Encrypted to Dualscar.]

[Darkleer pause for a moment, a bit awkward before clearing his throat.]

If you are not busy with other matters, sir, I believe we should speak. Preferably in person.

[The image of the mechanical bug from before is made a bit more obvious amongst everything else, the wings color-coded, strangely enough, in orange as more details are put into them, constantly being rearranged and configured to Darkleer's liking.]

First promise; Video transmission

[When the feed turns on, the video shows a soaked, annoyed Rinoa. She looks something akin to a half-drowned, blue rat as she pushes back her hair. Her attempts only lead it to fall back into place, so she frowns as she grabs it and wrings it out to the side.]

One sec...

[As the water drains from her strands, her eyes dart back to the device. Now it has her full attention.]

I'm not really sure what to make of all of this. I can't decide if this is a bad prank or if the Sorceress did something to us. Who'd have thought that she'd send us to an underwater city... place in retribution? I mean, who does that?

Right. [With her hair sufficiently wrung, she tosses it over her shoulder.] My name's Rinoa. I was with my friends when we attacked a certain sorceress. I thought we had won, but... I think I fell over or something. Then I woke up here. So if anyone has seen or heard of Squall, Zell, Irvine, Quistis, or Selphie, could you maybe let me know? I'd appreciate it.

[She pauses, her brow puckered before she decides to add something.] If mentioned friends are here... would you guys meet me by this fountain thing and tell me what's going on?

[Long time no see, Vatheon. It's your resident pimp protag on the screen! He looks a little tired and a little worn, but otherwise he seems okay.

Unfortunately, he times turning on this broadcast a little poorly, so he's caught mid-yawn, blinking blearily for the first few seconds after his yawn.

Blink. Blink. Ah--]

I guess there was a curse...? I hope everyone's okay. If anyone needs any help, just let me know.

[He kinda slept through it. W h o o p s. But oh right he had a question. And it's a bit strange to ask and he knows that, but he's going to give it a shot anyway...because he just realized that there's a bit of a gap in his life now. Two of them, in fact.]

But...I was kind of curious about something.

[He props his chin on his hand.]

What do you guys think family means...?

[For someone who just lost a "little brother" and a "big brother"...he has to ask; it's not like he's really had much experience otherwise. So he turns to all of these people to ask, fingering a little piece of paper in his hand.

[Video]

[The video flicks on, and Ken is on-screen, leaning against his spear. He's got a question, and so he might as well ask it.]

So I've been wondering. I know a lot of us are good with weapons, but it might be a good idea to get better with more than one. I've been using a spear for a while, so if anyone wants to get training in that or a staff, I can train you.

Maybe we can even set up a list of teachers so whoever wants to learn a weapon can look for them all in one place. What do you think?

[video] Like a Love Song, Baby

[ prepare for loudness and engrish. ]

Okay, everybody~! I'm looking for great musicians to join me, the Great Michel, and Selphie-chan, so we can rock this bubble. Let's party! It's too damn quiet here~!

[ which probably isn't a bad thing, if he actually sat down to think about it. The world is still here, after all, free of weird things like Nazis and ancient aliens. ]

I probably need a place to stay too. Staying by restaurants suck too much.

[ Suck like home. Stupid sushi shop. and oh yes, other matters to address, of course. ]

Also, I'm looking for the Velvet Room. A chat with Igor would be nice, even if he'd probably shove me out the door for being by myself. [ shrug. ] Oh and Trish's Spring! even if that fairy's a bit too overpriced...

Peace out, Vatheon.

[ ooc: i need a posting tag, pls. tag me, baby. ]

Time seems to move slowly after such a festival. I too have noticed the glowing of the mark yet I have yet to notice any of the usual effects. No invasions; no unusual clothing; no unusual extensions to the bubble either.

This is quite fortunate, however as Selphie remains in a deep sleep. Once again, the sleep has befallen her. I do worry if this may be somehow a chronic condition as I do so dearly love her. [ he pauses, rather stunned. ] Excuse me. [ he pauses to drink a rather large sip of sake before resuming. ]

I do wonder if such sleep can be a chronic condition, as my heart would grow cold without her, as it has done without my rival Shingen-dono here to test my skills. [ another pause. He flushes red and hides it behind the large sake bowl as he takes another large sip. ]

Excuse me. I seem to be out of sake.

Thirty-Fourth Flare - Video - Birds, Birds, Everywhere

So yeah, turns out Myde was pregnant.

[Way to open up a feed, Lea. But he's grinning into the camera, hair tied back and in a too large t-shirt and pants. He's also covered in soft downy feathers of all sorts of colors; it isn't easy calming down the flock when they're so excitable. As he adjusts the camera, it's obvious he's near some rather simple looking stables. Anyone who's worked or visited the Phoenix Nest would recognize them as being behind there.]

[When he's done fiddling with the view, the camera is focused on a group of Chocobos. There's Myde, one of the adults and a beautiful soft brown with specks of white on her chest, looking tired but calmly pleased. Hovering near her is Alex, a bright red who couldn't look more proud as he nuzzles Myde.]

[And around them?]

Yep, looks like the second generation of Vatheon-born Chocochicks are here! Heh, aren't they adorable? And new colors, too, look!

[Lea looks just as proud as Alex as he sits down amongst the chirping, energetic chicks. There are seven in all, and they happily flop and flutter onto the teen. There are a few very pale gray chicks, and another couple which are a much darker shade, a strange kind of lavender-gray. There are a pair of soft colored yellows and one lone red. Lea handles all of them carefully and with utter adoration.]

I'll cut everyone the same deal Stein did whenever his chocobos laid eggs. If you think you can give one of these sweethearts a good home, and you can tell me so, I'll let you keep one. Myde and Alex won't mind.

Mistreat them and I will wreck your life.

[He says it with a cheery grin that is 100% brutal honesty.]

((ooc: Yep! Lea is giving away chocobo chicks. Just have your character comment and Lea will talk it out. I'll keep track of who has which chick here in the ooc.

2 yellow: Demyx, Squall Leonhart
3 white : Motochika, Aradia Megido
