| [It's been an entire 24 hours since Sola ran out on Johnny after their fight but the sting of the argument hadn't dulled at all. The Hylian had spent the time between then and now hiding out in Link's empty tree house, alternating between crying while hugging his knees and punching the wall imagining it to have Johnny's face. Really, it's a bit over the top and melodramatic but you can't expect a boy with the emotional maturity of a first grader to be able to handle things like this well.
In the wee hours of the morning he'd cried himself to sleep.
Now it's mid-afternoon and the replica has calmed some, even if the ache he feels has not. He's still angry, still brutally angry that Johnny hasn't come for him, that he hasn't tried to prove Sola wrong in thinking the vampire doesn't love him, and it just stings more. It hurts so badly to know - not think, but know - that Johnny doesn't want him. He didn't want to be right about that...
So then why had Johnny said he did? It's the big mystery and the only solution Sola can think of is that Johnny was just playing with him, seeing how long he could string the stupid kid along until he cracked. Hell, he's probably laughing at him right now. Stupid Sola, can't even tell when someone's lying to his face...
Sola's face on the SFC is cold, his complexion dark and brooding.]
Johnny Rayflo is a liar and a jerk!
[For a moment it seems he has more to say, but he's overcome with a mix of sharp anger and solid grief. Not wanting to scream or cry at the network, instead he shuts off the feed with a violent flick of his hand.] |
|
| [Just another day of sending the robots out to do some grocery shopping for him, nothing big... Only this time, they've discovered something interesting. Meatless burgers? Meatless hotdogs? Please tell him more. He's gone so long making his own vegetarian friendly meals, this sort of thing is surprising for him.]
D --> Are there any individuals in Vatheon who could tell me more about meat analogue products? D --> That is to say D --> Products which mimic the texture and taste of meat but is absent of it. D --> I would like to know more D --> And if it's claims of being meatless are 100% true
[Action]
[And that, Vatheon, is why there are a pair of robotic greyhounds perusing the frozen food isle at your local grocery store. One with red glowing lines, the other blue. Occasionally, one of them will paw at the window to gesture to a particular vegetable burger, and the other will inspect it before shaking its head.]
[And yes, there is a shopping cart near them. At one point, the red robohound wanders off down the aisle to try and forage through the ice cream buckets curiously. Its companion just watches with a healthy measure of robojudging.] |
|
| [Hey Vatheon, instead of a view of Sola's face, the first thing that pops up is a massive pair of antlers, adorned with leaves from the park's trees, a piece of paper pierced through one prong, several short lengths of tangled cord wrapped around here and there, a small lantern, and a bat (by the name of Johnny Rayflo of course) who turns on one foot and yawns as he lazily hangs from the horns.
It takes a minute, but Sola finally steps back so he can be seen along with his impressive headgrowth.]This curse is stupid. |
|
| [Good morning, Vatheon! Normally, Link would be out and about - but, well, the weather isn't great-looking right now. Instead, he's settled against a window, the blah weather visible outside.]
It's been kind of gloomy, huh? [And not just because of the weather.] I think we should do something to cheer everyone up - like the masquerade. Me and Yukiko were talking then, and - lots of people know how to do things, huh? Like play music, or cook things, or do magic. And it'd be fun seeing things from other worlds! So...
[Deep breath.] How about we do a talent show? Only people can cook things and there'd be lots of activities and things to do - and there's a holiday coming up where people can dress up, right? [Killing two birds with one stone, man.]
It might be fun - something nice to do after the stuff that's happened. |

| [The feed comes on to show the Head Nurse sitting behind her desk in her office. What is visible of the office is very neat, clean, very nice. And the Head Nurse herself gives the camera a pleasant smile, a very pleasant smile.]
Oh my, that was rather a mess, wouldn't you say? All those injuries, all those deaths. [Her lips quirk into an amused smile as if it is somewhat of a private in-joke.] You gave us quite some work to do. Why, my nurses practically deserve a vacation from all the overwork they've ended up having to do on behalf of you lot.
So! We've come to a decision.
[She's still smiling, but there is something sharper to it now.]
From now on... no more killing. Really, it will be far nicer without all of that mess. No, I think it is best if we all avoid it from now on. A zero-tolerance policy, if you will. And of course, I won't have to say that anyone found breaking our rules by breaking a few necks [was that a giggle?] will be quite severely punished. Quite severely.
[n_n]
If you don't believe me, perhaps you should speak to Mr. Riffael. |
|
| [When the feed turns on, Serph appears calm, composed. His words are spoken clearly and evenly.]
The Defense Force has Doctor Riffael detained in Larmline, Floor 1, Apartment 3. There will not be repeats of the last few weeks. He has been fitted with a device so his location will be known at all times.
You're welcome to visit him for questioning, but physical aggression will not be tolerated.
[Filtered to the Defense Force] We need people to watch Riffael. You'll be in pairs. I understand some of us were personally attacked, or have had friends who were. Volunteer for guard duty only if you feel you're able to keep your composure.
We also need three people to guard Kratos in Pendilum, Floor 3, Apartment 4. You'll be on rotating shifts. Kratos is not to leave the location; reacting with violence as he had when there was no immediate threat is unacceptable.
[ooc: There'll be a log for people to visit Riff in a few days' time. In the meantime, if there are any questions or things that need clarification, feel free to drop me a line :>] |

| I...I need help. [ A man can be seen kneeling in the plaza, his clothes rumpled as though he had just been running. His expression is both pained and saddened, but he keeps his voice calm.
He needs to say this.]Some of you may recognize me as Doctor Riffael Raffit. I am Riff Raffit, but...the man known as Riffael is the one who has been terrorizing people for a month. I am sorry I could not do anything sooner...if I had- [All the people who had been hurt by his hands..shared hands, but his nonetheless.]I know what I am saying might not make sense in full but if it helps, if it is easier: I am the one you've been looking for. [He pauses, eyes closing a moment.]I have control right now, I won't be moving from this place. I beg of you, someone, come stop him. Please. ((OOC: And, thus, ends the murder plot, for the most part. All replies will be made by Riff ( loyaljudas)- Tags:bianca, heat, kratos aurion, link (ocarina of time), madame red (angelina durless), muraki kazutaka, naoto shirogane, riffael "riff" raffit, rinoa heartilly, ryoko asakura, tatsumi seiichirou, tech e. coyote, zelos wilder

| [The SFC turns on while the templar is resting during the night as his hand accidentally hit it on, but something seems off. He appears to look in pain and sweating, he's also talking in his sleep. Anyone will also notice he's no longer in his apartment, but in Ordo 2.]
No, get away from me. Don't touch me. [These same looks continue and he starts panting loudly between sweating. He's only mumbling incoherent noises, but then he looks as if he's being choking by something or someone by his body's reactions. He even starts gasping and moving a bit more violently, as if making a desperate attempt to escape or awaken form this horrible nightmare. Words form out of his mouth too in beween what sounds like loud screaming. Anyone within the two apartments may be able to hear him too.] No! No! Stop it! Stay away from me!
[He then screams the name "Marcello" louder than that before waking up with his eyes becoming very wide, his panting still evident. His body might be trembling a little bit too.] That dream again... By the Goddess, why does it keep repeating in my mind? [There's a weak laugh coming out of his mouth.] Marcello, even here you haunt me. It makes me despise you even more than before, despite part of me still wanting to care about your existence.
[There's a sigh and he stops his musing for a moment as he becomes more aware of his surroundings. He very much notices he's not at the apartment and has a look of surprise on his expression.] Where...am I? I was in the apartment, but now.. Well I should try and figure out where this is, it also feels as though I've been asleep for a long time. I could go for a drink too. [His eyes soon turn to the SFC which is on and his eyes grow wide again before he quickly turns it off, hoping the SFC didn't pick up too much.]
[ooc: And here's Angelo waking up from his sleep coma, enjoy. ♥] |
|
| [Bleep! Good afternoon, Vatheon, you now have dog girl on your screen, waving.]
Hello, everyone! I was wondering how many people here are twins? My twin brother is here, finally, and you know what else? Our friend Rose is as well! She also has a twin brother, though he is not here yet.
Roooose--Joooohn--I want you to meet the other twin, too, my friend Rin! |

| [At first Bianca wanted to do nothing but go straight to her apartment. She didn't want to talk to anyone, she didn't want to eat anything, all she wanted to do was just cry her eyes out. However, after staring at the ceiling for a bit, she decided that might not be a good idea. She wasn't sure if the murder was still out there or if the murder was going to kill her again. Either way, she didn't feel safe.
She wanted to talk to Cheren but after realizing that he was gone, she thought differently. He was safer back home, he didn't have to worry about dying here. She let out a sigh before thinking of something else to say. All she could think about was the smell and the pain she felt...
No, she had to think of something else! Quick, what else to think about?]
So, it seems like there are a lot of people coming over! If you're new here, let me know, I want to meet all of you!
My name is Bianca, what's yours?
[Yeah, good plan] |
