[The video feed that starts has two people to display. Medic with the perked brow, naturally, as this is his SFC after all, and by his side, Rhi'a, giving a friendly smile from underneath that tiara she still wears before glancing up to the man, waiting for him to speak.

Medic sighs and looks away for a moment at least before finally adressing the network.]

Fein. Let uns just get zhis over vizh, zhen.

[He clears his throat.]

Apparently, Rhi'a und ich... Ve haff some vords to share vizh you, so you better listen as I vill not repeat myself.

[Medic grimaces, then speaks up again.]

Look for a winged one if push comes to shove.

[Rhi'a gives him a brief pat to the shoulder and continues with the second part of their clue.]

Only this kiss will stop it from getting worse.

[And as sudden as the feed had started, it gets turned off again.]

[Cue Zelos, sitting on the end of his large bed, a vase of roses to his right on the nightstand and a candle burning behind to his left.]
 
So, ladies and gentlemen of Vatheon, it has come to my attention due to the upswing of network posts having to do with romance that a lot of you are in the need of advice; maybe a guiding hand in your love lives from someone with more experience with the fairer sex, or at a loss for what your man expects during this time of year. 

[He sits back a bit, steepling his fingers with a grin at the camera.] 

Fear not Vatheonites! You've got none other than the Great Zelos Wilder here to dole out advice on anything and everything pertaining to the romantic arts~❤ Don't worry hunnys, your secrets are safe with me~ All comments are filtered so no one'll be the wiser.

[He winks seductively into the feed.]

Don't be shy~ With a little help from me, this could be your best valentine's ever.

[And now to wait for the responses of those seeking his expertise.]

[ brace yourselves, Vatheon, as there is a very panicky country fretting about in the Plaza. ]

AAAAAAHH!

[ there's a blur of blue and white as Italy drops the SFC ]

Whoever you are, don't hurt me! I surrender!

[ he waves his white flag frantically ]

Germany?! Japan?! HELP MEEEEE!

Quick question, Vatheon, 'cause I don't really care about anything else--

[CLEARING HIS THROAT]

How many Americans are here?

Also how many countries are here? I saw Canada and Japan but headcount, yes perfect nice.

. . .

I want a dog. Or a horse.

[HANGS UP yes]

Hello, Vatheon. I apologize for the sudden announcement; especially since there are likely many newcomers around at the moment, but I ask you all to bear with me. There is reason to believe that there may be something dangerous happening in the city sometime soon. This post is for organizational purposes. I would ask that all speculation and general information still be directed to this post.

Firstly, all of you that are comfortable with your combat skills, I urge you to report to Minato Arisato of the defense force. A disorganized defense is extremely ineffective. Those of you who feel that they cannot fight, please evacuate to the area around the clinic in the event of an attack.

[Zelda holds up a neatly drawn map with optimal routes to the clinic laid out from various locations in Vatheon.]

The clinic and the building right next to it will both have a protective barrier around them. Everyone currently registered as being a foreigner will have no difficulty passing. Do not worry overly much about the registration process, it is automatic. The barrier is of a neutral element and will not cause harm to anyone who takes shelter within it.

Which brings us to the second point. Anyone who considers their primary skill to be either healing - magical or traditional - or barrier magic, please report to myself or Doctor Muraki. I may need help maintaining the barrier, and we are low on healers.

Finally, anyone who considers themselves to be skilled with technology and who has some free time, please contact me privately.

[When the SFC turns on, things are a little different. It's a different face than usual, a tired, annoyed face, and the caller ID simply reads 'Carol'.

She adjusts her glasses, stares into the screen, and breathes out an aggravated sigh.]

Hey...what do you call yourselves? Vatheonites or something?

I've got a question for you all, since you're already trying your best to ruin everything we're working on. Have any of you seen that priestess around? ...Thalassino, right?

I want to talk to her, so...let me know.

[Another huff and she rolls her eyes, muttering something before she turns off the device--]

A coupla credits isn't worth all of this hassle.

[Heavy's face is pretty interesting right now, He is genuinely shocked, disturbed, and confused right now. The Red Fairy that had been here ever since he arrive just..exploded. Right in front of him, like it had been hit by a critical rocket. Except it hadn't. This isn't natural. Not at all.]

What. What is going on? Tiny fairy just blew up. Pieces everywhere.

I do not understand dis. Was fine seconds ago.

[Seriously Vatheon, what the fuck. He actually kinda liked the fairy. And now it's dead. And Heavy is not happy. He turns to the screen and frowns.]

Did dis happen to someone else?

[Shortly after the violent deaths of the fairies, an SFC is abruptly turned on. It looks like it hit the floor of someone's room and managed to start the video feed. A little duck wearing a red pendant flaps into view.]

Quaa...

[The duck doesn't seem very happy. She also has fairy remains all over her which means she was nearby one when it...yeah. But whoever owns this room isn't making an appearance and there just happens to be a pretty good view of most of the apartment. Huh...]

[She pokes at something behind the SFC before looking at the screen with interest.]

Quack?

[And the duck gazes into the screen for a few seconds. If you have the capacity to think something is cute, odds are this is. Suddenly, she seems to be aware that others can see her and start flapping her wings frantically.]

QUACK! Qua quaa quaaack!!

[She starts poking her bill near the screen like she's trying to operate the buttons but it's not really working. Huh. What a weird little duck...]


[ooc: I have plans for her being "found" but feel free to take note of her existence on the network! Hopefully she'll show up more~]

So.... How many inane, embrassing things have people said in this lastest curse? Hmph, though I guess it's nice that Vatheon doesn't seem to be dressing us up or giving us all cat ears or something inane or worse. Could even say that I like it. It's funny to watch you all admit things over public networks. Cute, Vatheon..

[...... Thanks, Vatheon, for forcing him to admit to stalking the network.]

........Hmph, anyway, for those who knew Gold, the moron's gone home; left me with one of the Eevee's that an idiot named Lyra bred while she was here. [Silver doesn't even have to hold the Eevee up to the screen; it's naturally curious though it makes a sad sound. Silver just linefaces all the more - bloody hell, why couldn't Vatheon have made it vanish like too? Tch, probably as it was born in the bubble or some stupid crap- then shoves it away with an irritated sigh.] Tch. I've told you before, runt, your master left you to me. Get used to it. Doesn't help that you're cute for a weakling.

[!!] I used to wear pink as a kid and those were some bitching fairy wings, too. [OH GDI VATHEON YOU SUCK.] And when they told me it wasn't manly, I'd kick them then in the knee.

[That, ladies and gentle men, is Silver looking horrified and embrassed right before there is a headdesk thunk.

He hates his life right now.]
