(no subject)
[The video starts with a rather violent shake from side to side, then the rather dizzying view of the camera jumping from one invisible platform to another. Only a select few will be able to see the wreckage that the camera is climbing out of - those who were invited to Severus Snape's building before, or those had been there previously. The rest will have to settle for watching tiny hoofed legs scrambling for invisible purchase each time the camera tumbles down between pieces of rubble - and it does often.
Finally, after five jarring minutes of tumbling over things that don't seem to be there, the NV is on the sidewalk. It shakes again, dust flying all around it in a thick cloud. And then it is on the move. It moves quite quickly for an Nv, hopping through chain-link fences. It takes a few minutes of traveling at a very speedy pace before the camera stops once again, standing in front of a great big black-red-white thing.
After the lenses focus, it becomes obvious that the big black-red-white thing is actually a man, sitting on the edge of the sidewalk. He's hunched over, elbows on his knees and his hands clasped together over the back of his neck. His long hair hangs in his face, hiding his countenance from view until he finally lifts his head up.
Severus Snape looks very, very tired. His nose is even more crooked than it usually is (although really, how could you tell?) and his robes are shredded below the elbow, revealing what might be to some a rather familiar looking tattoo on his left forearm. He reaches up to push his hair out of his face with fingers that are bent in quite a few different angles, turning his gaze toward the camera. It takes a few seconds for his eyes to focus on it and when he finally does see what it is that is standing beside him, he sighs.]
I shouldn't be surprised to see that you have managed to escape. A pity. I don't think the other one did.
[Severus seems to be having some trouble enunciating his words clearly. He's slurring some words and hesitating before others, as if he's unsure of what he's saying. He pushes his hair out of his face again and closes his eyes, appearing to be deep in thought. He has no idea that he's being recorded already.]
Since you are here, you might as well take a message. None of that nonsense with accents or stupid music this time. Make it private to the following people: ...
[Private to everyone who is in on Snape's Lake Scheme (Sora, Near, Shiroe, Souji, Temari, Samus, Daedalus, Nara, sorry if I missed anyone)]
I am afraid to announce that I will have to postpone our investigation for ... [He pauses, trying to think of an amount of time. From the disappointed look on his face, it is plain to see he cannot think of one.] I do not know how long. There has been a major setback.
That does not...
does not...
does not mean that we should allow the research to come to a stop. Are any of you affiliated with Sero or Agi? If you are and it is possible to do so without suspicion, I would like you to find out if there are going to be any events held at or near the site.
Near, you work with the police, correct? Please find out if they are going to be holding any events there.
If there is anyone who works with the city government, please also try to find this out.
That's all. End it now.
