[Static. Static that gives way to a blurry, shaky camera arc, clearing on a section of the wall outside of the Inner City. But like the Animus posts, there's no PCD on the other side of the recording. It just... is, transmitting itself with no apparatus

[Whoever this being is, they speak in a particularly familiar manner... that is, one of a ghost edging into the madness that characterizes the end of their tether to the world of the living.

Unlike the others, Alexia is still dry and very much human. She cannot go outside.]

... but you are of the fish persuasion.

[adstring_npc]

[The fish actually pauses at the sight of her, before looping around again in a slightly faster manner.]

you're of the creepy persuasion

[Video]

[homo_exanimus]

I beg your pardon!

[Not that she hasn't met this reaction from ghosts before.]

I am not the one who has come over all... scaly and cryptic.

[adstring_npc]

our scales are lovely
you're just jealous
and want our secrets

[checkmychainyo]

You're an Animus?

[adstring_npc]

that's what everyone says

[checkmychainyo]

...Why leave the Inner City?

[adstring_npc]

It's dark and crowded in there.

[Her massive red frilly beta tail aside, Rei looks the most excited she has the entire week.]

Thalatte.

You should try to teach me how to swim. You look better at it than I am.

[Video]

[adstring_npc]

We're masters of it!
we made the water
and all the things in it

[Look, it swims in more careful patterns to demonstrate.]

[Video]

[marsfireignite]

I'm not much of a water person.

Do you mind if I come see you so you can show me?

[She's hesitant -- after all, the last time she reached the Inner City, she went temporarily insane. But it's a fish -- and moreover than that, it's Thalatte, who seems to be relatively peaceful and calm, in comparison to the rest of them.]

Hello. Were you the animus I talked to before? Do you need any assistance?

[ ooc; would tracking kidou work? :x

also, my apologies if this is Anne, but would Mayuri like her to attempt to bring her back to the lab? :x oh god what is going to happen ]

[ video ]

[adstring_npc]

some of us

and some others
Would you show us your life?

((OOC: No, this is Siren. <3 I take care of the Animuses. And sure, Mayuri would like that! :D I'd just want to avoid him interacting with them directly because playercest and all that. Nemu can mind sheep and fish!))

[ video ]

[slavishly]

My life? I will show you anything considering the circumstances. I will come by to pick you up shortly. How many of you are there?

[ Nemu will just be chanting kidou for the animus.

ooc: Oh okay <3 Hi, Siren owo. Is there any specific plan Mayuri might have given her regarding if the animus came out?

Buuut, all right!! She'll be running some tests if they agree to come back to the lab. The information that comes out will be your decision. ]

[adstring_npc]

Just watching! We'll stay out of the way! Learn by observing.

we're just us

[There's only one fish on screen, though.]

((OOC: Hi! :D And... telling Nemu to keep an eye on them? Whatever information Nemu gets they can discuss. But tests are good! But anything too violent will make the fish run away.))

[nexmosnonlucror]

[Tom is unaffected and inside his dry flat, but he leans forward sharply at the sight of the tiny fish, and the voice --

His first thought is to trap the fish inside a bottle.]

... hello.

[Video]

[adstring_npc]

[He can try, but the bottle would not enjoy the experience.]

that's what we said

[Video]

[nexmosnonlucror]

I'm returning the favor.

[How interesting.]

I assume you're enjoying the event.

[adstring_npc]

But it was a gift!

and we are
