[ inej has never posted on the network, before. indeed, she prefers to just linger in the back, and meet people in person. and when she does use the network, she does so sparingly. to reach out, collect information, and then leave.

but this feels different. and, truly, she is only doing this because kaz won't. and nina and matthias may have made friends here. they deserve to know.

so: ]

Nina Zenik and Matthias Helvar are gone.
Back home. If what the Witch says is the truth.

[ saints, this is hard. ]

To those who went outside the city, what have you found so far?
Are you safe?

[ anything to avoid talking about their absence. especially nina. ]

[The feed opens up to Ruby sitting eagerly on the edge of her bed.]

Okay! So I've been meaning to ask this for a little while. But I'm curious to see what sort of weapons everyone here has. We're all from different worlds, right? So we probably don't all use the same sort of stuff when we get into a fight.

I'll start us off.

[She shifts the camera over to show off a very high tech looking red scythe.]

So this is Crescent Rose. She's my baby, I made her myself back at school. She's a Scythe that can change into a sniper rifle. Perfect for short and long range combat.

[And now her face is right back in front of the camera.]

So come on! Don't be shy! Show me what you got!

[ roy is seated in a secluded area of the temple that many may recognize as maes and barabas’ office. he has a notebook in front of him that a great deal of stuff seems to be written in, but roy himself doesn’t have a pen in hand. those paying careful attention may recognize that the writing in the notebook is, indeed, roy’s handwriting, but it’s certainly not legible.

anyway. roy looks a bit tired, but in relatively good spirits, despite what he suffered on the horologium. he’s been relatively quiet, since coming back to the temple -- focused on recovering, catching up with his closer circle of friends and family, and preparing himself for what he had to do next, which is, incidentally, address the circle.

And so, roy clears his throat. ]

( tl;dr )

Hello?

It looks like tech, but it's apparently magic. That's a new one, even for me. Although the past few days have been nothing BUT "new ones" so I suppose I should just get used to that. Not the point here, let me get to it.

My name's Carmen. I came in with the festival I guess. I'm currently hanging out at the Fighting Ring and was curious if there was anyone who also wanted to blow off some steam or at least work off some of that food.
If not, I guess I'll be giving these dummies a beat down.

[There's a pause and then quickly adds.]

Oh. Or I guess I could finally try to figure out this ability I was supposedly given. After everything else I've seen and heard that one might be the least strange. Unfortunately, I can't test my ability without some help. If you're interested let me know. It could be interesting for the both of us.

See you around.

[Carmen will reply to repsonses here OR you can just go find her at the fighting ring]

[ when the feed comes on, riza's expression is tense. controlled. she's looking straight into the camera. there's an air of professionalism to her as she speaks, but that's to be expected.

she's lived through enough warzones, calamities, and nightmares to know how this goes. ]

My name is Riza Hawkeye. I know some of you, but-

[ not important. she blinks herself out of that. roy was always better at this, wasn't he? okay, breathe. ]

We need to regroup. I'm sure everyone has felt some part of what is going on, but things are getting out of hand. We can't turn on each other at a time like this, not with whatever is happening down below. I know a lot of us are scared, but if we're going to get through this, we need to pull together.

[ a beat, and then she exhales. riza doesn't look fantastic, honestly. she hasn't slept in who knows how long, and with everything going on around the ship?

but she's trying, that has to mean something, right? ]

Anyone who needs help, come find me in the lounge. I know basic first aid and can see what I can do. If anyone has any kind of healing abilities that are working? I can help with those too. I'm trying to collect what supplies we have, but help is appreciated.

I'll be in the Lounge if anyone needs to find me.

[ and then the feed cuts.



ooc timeline wise! this is happening semi-post the event log but pre the wrap-up log! meaning that people who went down in the first log can be back up, but all the dead bodies haven't made it up. she is open for network stuff but also if you just want to action meeting her in the lounge......feel free.

also.....no one has told her about roy yet so. that is open. c: ]

What happens to the people that leave here?

Do they make it back home or... something else? It doesn't seem to make much sense.

[ Currently, Zenaide Haywood is a blue gorgon. Scaly blue all over, with scaly blue snakes for hair. She and the snakes all have the same slit blue eyes and forked pink tongues. She smiles, showing off fangs. Her smile is also a bit self-deprecating as she continues. Her voice is irritatingly cheerful, chirpy and friendly, ]

Hello!

I do... hate how high maintenance this sounds, but! I have quite tragically broken a nail opening one of those mysterious doors. Has anyone found a first aid kit? I will at the very least need a bandage, but I could also use some small clippers and some glue?

Actually, I'm not certain small will do. I think I need... veterinarian grade clippers?

[ She laughs uncomfortably, wiggling her claws for the camera. ]

What a stupid little injury, but please let me know! I'm not entirely sure what will happen if I transformed back right now, so I don't want to risk it until I've cleaned it up. Thank you!
