[Living as a literal wolf the last week had been surprisingly entertaining in its own way and rather interesting considering the different viewpoint and senses he'd had to deal with while in that form. Now that the curse had ended and he found himself walking on two legs again instead of four, it was time he found something else to possibly fill his time here. Not that it would be as entertaining as his work was back home, but at least it was better than nothing.

Thus Akabane is once again on the network, sans hat even, if only because otherwise you wouldn't be able to see any of his face in the feed due to the hat's brim. Of course, his hair is a little wilder than it was in his last network feed, not being tamed by water as it had been before.]

If anyone has any need of someone to transport anything to someone or some area elsewhere in the city or are in need of an escort from one location to another within this city; I offer myself and services to do such.

I've already offered such services to the clinic in the advent of an attack on the city, but should anyone need deliveries made and are incapable of handling them personally, feel free to request my help.

[Over the SFC]

[For anyone who hasn’t seen Lea yet, he appears to be some sort of bastard child between a large bird and fire, or ashes, depending on when someone sees him. Right now, it’s the point inbetween, with his currently gray hair just beginning to regain its spikiness, embers visible near his scalp. There are feathers along his jaw and the corners of his eyes, and also focused a great deal on his forearms and hands. His entire bottom half? That of a bird. The large wings attached to his back are a nice touch too. ]

[Right now, he looks a bit frustrated as he rubs his chin, one large talony-fingernail visible.]

So, I don’t suppose any of you really magical folk know how to make a bird-guy stop spontaneously combusting? Because that is some information I could really use. A lot. I’d try and use some of my usual magic, but I think I’m limited to fire magic right now.

…And also I have the voice of a freakin’ god, if I do say so myself, but that’s seriously not much use, know what I’m saying?

[Morning in the forest]

[Hop hop hop! Sure is Lea, carrying a basket of goodies and looking for a house of… some kind. Listen, he’s not much of a Little Red Riding Bird, but Carol said there was a Grandma's house he had to deliver these to…]

[Help a bird out?]

[Midday, the marketplace]

[Guess who’s gotten the hang of this whole ‘having wings’ thing since the curse started?]

[So if you’re wandering around today, then you might have a phoenix-boy suddenly come swooping down to try and land on your shoulders, if you’re big enough. Also? He’s a lot more… fiery than this morning. As in, really fiery.]

[Strangely enough, it doesn’t burn, but like anyone is going to notice that with a giant flaming bird all over them.]

[‘But wait!’ you may ask. ‘What if they’re not big enough to be landed on?’]

[Well, for those light enough in weight, they may find themselves being carried off by a grinning jackass of a phoenix boy.]

[He’s a sweetheart. Really. Probably.]

[Evening, wherever]

[And then a flaming pile of SOMETHING crashed near you.]

[…Sorry about that.]

[The fires go out quick enough, leaving an enormous pile of ash in their place. Something appears to be moving inside of them… Investigate?]

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 feed kicks on, the man being shown might be familiar to a few since he's been here once already. He's currently sans hat and coat, with a towel resting over his shoulders and beneath his soaked tamed hair.

He was somewhat disappointed to see a few names missing from the list, but since he returned, one might hope that those entertaining people might also return in the future during his time here.]

Hello again, Vatheon. Does anyone know just how much time has passed since my previous departure from here? I've noticed a few people whom were here before are no longer here.
