Video | January 25th | Evening

[spandexisyouth]

[The device is turned on to show a cheerful Gai. There’s some flour in his hair for an unknown reason and he seems unaware of it, or uncaring.]

Chipotle is not really spicy at all, is it?

[Kakashi's voice comes from off-screen, not far from the device. He's probably working next to Gai in the kitchen.]

Anything is 'not really spicy' to you.

[Gai looks off to the side.]

But this pepper especially is not very spicy! I am sure! I do not see why we cannot put some in dinner!

[An audible sigh from Kakashi.]

Obito will side with me. Two to one, you're outvoted, Gai-kun.

[Gai straightens, looking defiant.]

I am quite certain that Obito is up to dealing with spices! And I am asking the city, not just him! Perhaps you should build up your tolerance!

[A pause.]

The city isn't eating your food. We are. And we'd like to live through dinner.

[Gai sighs, looking down at the food.]

It would not kill you. Especially something this mild! It should not even... Very well.

[Gai steps away from the screen to put the peppers back in the fridge.]

[Kakashi moves into the frame just enough to be seen for a moment, before blocking the camera with his hand. The visual may be blocked, but the audio is not. The tone of his voice is playful and somewhat suggestive.]

I promise to make it up to you later.

[Gai’s voice is on the quiet side, but it’s no longer disappointed, not at all. If anything, it’s rather warm.]

Ah. I... Good. Then I would not mind dinner being... very mild.

[A bit of a chuckle from Kakashi.]

Dinner has to be Obito-friendly. Dessert-- [He stops abruptly and his hand moves away from the camera slightly.] You should really turn the communicator off.

We were-- I was asking-- [In the middle of verbally flailing Gai gets the communicator. There’s a glance at his face - his cheeks are red - and then it’s off.]

.015 Ghost || [Video | Voice][January 26th - 12:24]

[ghostofaqueen]

[The screen comes up to show a very agitated Ghost operative. She's clearly been moving around a lot because the camera is in motion and the scenery is changing. Her green eyes are restless and uncertain, and she's almost constantly pushing hair out of her eyes or rolling her shoulders.]

Has anyone seen Tassadar today? He isn't in his usual gargoyle positions, and I haven't seen him at his Watch duties.

[She huffs in annoyance to mask her concern.]

How does anyone lose a ten-foot tall alien with no facial features but eyes? If anyone has seen him, contact me... I mean, the Watch immediately. [She suddenly shakes her head.] No, contact me directly. Please.

( Messages to Tassadar's communicator )

003 ♈ Nine in the corner, five in the side [video | Jan 26, evening]

[powerdraw]

--way you coulda made that shot!

[From its position partway out of a jacket pocket, the communicator catches a sideways view of Handmaid, expression unimpressed as ever, staring up at an angry-looking man staring between her and a pool table. She makes a point to twirl her cue stick again and raises an eyebrow.]

But I did, so- my money?

[All she gets in return is a sneer.]

Like hell! Rack 'em agai-!

[CRACK!

Down he goes, and she's already reaching for the money on the edge of the table and then her jacket before he starts pushing himself again, stepping on his shoulder and smashing him back into the ground on her way out.

Bitchplease- you don't ever mess with her money. Peace out, losers!!!]

004 ⊗ [Video] January 26th, Morning

[pishirogane]

[Naoto making an address to the network. The doctors will not be pleased since she's supposed to be resting, but this is necessary]

To those who wish to pay their final respects, a memorial service for Yosuke Hanamura with be held January 30th at 3 PM at the church. Thank you.

January 26, 2010 - Tuesday

[pedo_sun]

[The new arrivals will be dropping in soon. Is everyone ready?

Temperatures today will be 55/39F (13/4C). It's a bit chilly and cloudy, but the sun's also excited about the new guests, so it'll be smiling hugely down at the city every chance it gets.]
