[The years have mostly been kind to Jack-except, of course, for the sudden and inexplicable disappearance of his voice. Since then, he hasn't often strayed far from his home on the beach, but apparently he's had plenty to keep himself occupied.]

I'm planning an expedition to map the bottom of the ocean floor around Promenade. I haven't run ( Read more... )

I suppose it's only good business to announce the arrival of a new restaurant in the city.

[It's taken him longer than he really expected - he's been procrastinating over it, wasting hours wandering the city in the supposed search for a suitable building. In truth he's found several, but completing the rest of his plan bad felt too much like ( Read more... )

[Shiro's voice is even. He doesn't sound happy, but he doesn't sound particularly sad either. More numb than anything]

I wonder.

What day is it? Is it the 17th?

This place's time is all screwed up.

[The video feed runs for a few seconds while Jack, still not sure how to operate it, fumbles with the PORTAL. He's outside, in front of some building, and the ocean can be heard over the feed. He also looks tense, even more so when he realizes the PORTAL is finally recording.]Listen. I heard... Someone told me that Rapture was-that it was here. ( Read more... )

[The video opens to a pair of faces: a serious-looking teenage girl and Fenrir, oozing charm and charisma. The contrast is rather stunning- the girl couldn't be more lineface if she tried. When she stares into the camera, even through the mask her black eyes are oddly piercing, like she's seeing you, not just the PORTAL.]

The world is wrong.

[ What a lovely morning. The sun is shining, the birds are singing, and some douche in house 16 is smashing his mirror and stomping around. ]

Fuck! What the hell is this shit?! is this a prank? This shit isn't even remotely funny, man! I got things to do back home and I-- fuck!

[ Oops, stepped on glass. And there he goes, crashing right into the ( Read more... )

[ Seems like a lot of these keep cropping up. Usually at the most inopportune moments. Today is no different, though all the video is showing is a bouncing, jostling blur of movement. Nothing but streets, buildings, and the occasional streak of blue sky as Ichigo alternates between plain shunpo, and mixing it with parkour ( Read more... )

[What comes on the PORTAL isn’t something you see often- it’s the interior of the castle, and it’s one of the long and tall hallways that is frequently visited by the king and queen. In the middle are two figures who don’t fit the royalty’s height or caliber, but it’s not like that matters to them. You can hear their talking as the feed listens in ( Read more... )

[Good afternooooon Promenade! Your face-rotting overlaird waves cheerily at the camera; with a small wave of his fingers the lens zooms out.]

Hello, good people. [He turns to glance slightly at his surroundings, his mask fixed on without straps or ribbon. Lucifer's in a strange part of the city, one far enough away that none of them have ever ( Read more... )

[ There’s an inquisitive face that comes up on the screen, mask and all. However, instead of the usual distressed or annoyed that might’ve happened (though she doesn’t look really happy, either), she’s more… curious. There’s blotching on her cheeks because where she’s just come from, she was crying, but this is immediately a more serious and dire ( Read more... )
