[Well there's a familiar face outside a familiar kishin chamber. Guess who's back from their canon update!

Rei looks like she's certainly seen better days; she looks exhausted and her hair, which had been growing out pretty long in her stay here, has been cut short again to her old style. Her eyes are a little red from crying a little earlier, before she'd deemed herself calmed down enough to pick up her mirror.]

...It hasn't been that long for me, but here I guess it's probably different. [Her voice sounds different, strangely hollow and distant. It's been a short time, but so much has happened.]

I'm sorry if I worried people. [A pause and she picks at her nightgown] Could someone come bring me a jacket? [She's freezing, but she can barely feel it herself. Still, getting into warm clothes is a priority, especially when all you've got is a nightgown. She could really do for some shoes, too, actually.]

I just... need to rest a little while. Thank you. [The mirror turns off as she sinks to the ground, too tired to stand any longer.]

[Rei looks incredibly sheepish when she turns the video on, running a hand through her hair. In her other hand is a little kitten that some might recognize from Duo's post before It seems to find nibbling on her fingers an agreeable past time, and Rei doesn't seem to mind]

I think I might need Cats Anonymous. I can't seem to resist anything cute and helpless... I'm going to become one of those women soon. [You know, crazy cat ladies or something. No one to talk to but her cats and the dog that looks like a loaf of bread]

This makes three cats and a dog so far. I might need to be stopped.

Ah, and I hope everyone who joined my photography class got their cameras and are practicing already. I'll be starting classes officially on Monday. It's not too late to sign up, either!

[Private to Kotetsu and Barnaby]

[Speaking of cute and helpless]

I don't suppose I could convince either of you to take one of my cats, could I?

[And on a more serious note as she lowers the kitten onto her lap] I'm sure you're already aware that someone else from your world arrived and was in the hospital. [...And now that she thinks about it, she never did get his name. Damn.] I just wanted to make sure he's okay. It was alright that I told him you were here, wasn't it?

[As nice as he'd seemed there was always the risk of him being an enemy, after all]

((OOC: I didn't put up any official sign-up sheet for Rei's photography classes. Assume that if your character would be interested, have seen the sign-up sheet by Rei's art gallery, and signed up-- OR if they talked to Rei and expressed an interest, that they've received a new camera from Rei! Nothing overly fancy, but it's a camera and it's theirs!))

[Well here's a face people probably haven't seen in a while, looking pale with circles under her eyes. She opens her mouth to talk and has to turn away as she's suddenly overcome with coughing.

As it passes she turns back around and gives a sheepish look] ...Sorry, I must have caught something recently. I haven't been feeling well at all; and looking at the network, I'm not the only one. [She chuckles] I've mostly recovered though, so I should be back at training soon enough.

In other news, the repairs and add-ons to the gallery have been completed, so it'll be opening again as soon as I can get out of my apartment. I look forward to seeing you all there.

...Oh, I'll be putting up a sign up sheet of sorts, for people interested in photography lessons, at the gallery as well. Please sign up if you're interested. I know I mentioned it before, but then I got too sick to follow through.

[That's basically all she needs to say, just wanting to let everyone know she's still alive.]

[Well, her bruises have healed up nicely leaving her feeling more up to making an announcement to the network. Even though she knows the population of Death City is going strong, it feels like she's lost a lot of people; only a handful of the people she considered close to her remain.

But she's gotten most of the paperwork out of the way for going about cleaning up and rebuilding the place so it's time to say hello and let everyone know she's still alive.]

The gallery took some heavy hits during all of this, so it'll be closed for a little bit while all the repairs are done.

I need something to do with my time though, would anyone be willing to learn photography? I wouldn't mind teaching a few people one-on-one, or maybe even a class if I get enough interest. [A small smile. It'll give her something to do and she really enjoys being busy. More work means less time to think on things that depress her.

The downside is it means less time thinking on things she probably should be spending time on and coming to terms with]

On that note, I'm in need of an assistant for the gallery since... Well, since Ritsuka went home. [A fleeting, pained look, before the smile is back] I'm not asking for much; someone who's good at research, organized, dependable, willing to learn--that sort of thing. An interest in photography is a plus, but not really necessary.

A day guard and a night guard would also be helpful... [Maybe she should just run an ad in a newspaper.

Rei pauses to think a moment] Ah, I think that's all I need to say. [Another pause. She feels like she should say something inspirational here, something to motivate people or help cheer them up, but she can't think of anything]

On a more somber note, I'm available if anyone needs someone to talk to. I'm not a professional or anything, but talking... It helps, sometimes. I might not be able to do much, but I'm good at listening.

[A sad smile and she turns the communicator off]

wildest

Did this expire already? Damn it, no wonder. I haven't even been able to open it. Not since... hm... hnnn... it's really not faaair. What'd I do?

[Kotetsu's talking isn't really directed at anyone, which probably makes you wonder why he even turned his communicator on in the first place as well as what the heck he's talking about. He's currently a little preoccupied with figuring out what to make for a snack, rustling through the fridge of his shared apartment and making all sorts of noise. Nothing that really needs to be seen on a large scale which is why this is on audio. He also doesn't need to show off his ridiculous distress, sighing heavily then picking up the comm from its spot on the floor to speak into it more clearly.]

Anyone with some kinda doc cred or somethin' know if it's possible to just, not be able to eat something all of a sudden? I don't mean like one day you wake up and you don't feel like eating fish or hot dogs. Oh, I should make hot dogs tomorrow. --uh, I mean, like it makes you feel sick. Really sick. And it never did that before. Is there a way to fix it? Do you get back to normal? Or maybe it's just this place.... Really not fair. Aah, the fridge is gonna feel so empty without you.

[A loud thunk as Kotetsu proceeds to throw his poor expired uneaten container of mayonnaise into the nearby trashcan... speaking of food, he actually had a purpose to all this, except he's lacking a bit of tech knowledge at the moment. Time to fix that.]

BUNNYYY! Bunny, are you still mad at me?! Come over here, help me figure out something! And help me figure out what I wanna eat! I'll even make you a hot chocolate so you'll stop feeling so bad! Buuuunnyyyy!!

[With absolutely no explanation, the communicator shuts off. And then a minute or so later:]

[Rei runs a hand through her hair, heaving a sigh as she looks around the big apartment that suddenly feels so small.]

Nepeta, my partner, returned home. All of her stuff is missing... I guess that means I'll have to move back into the other apartments soon.

[This adds Nepeta to the growing list of partners Rei has failed to hold onto] I'm starting to wonder if maybe it's me...

Ah, I might need some help moving things, if anyone wouldn't mind helping me. Thank you.

[She doesn't know what to say, exactly, when the feed comes on, but her cheeks are tear-stained and her eyes are red, and crushed in her hands is an omamori she'd give to Yosuke before--

She takes in a shuddery breath and when she speaks her voice is shaky, fragile]

...I need to see some of you. You should know who you are.

[A pause and then, voice breaking] Please.

[Well, here's an unfamiliar face on the network. Yosuke's been scarce since the New Year started. Work at Triple AAA, a new partnership, and the general hustle and bustle of suddenly having a personal life that extended beyond annoying his friends was enough to keep the guy from updating the rest of the city on what he was up to.

And well, a lot of his life had been kinda on the down low lately. He couldn't think of much to say beyond a generic 'sup guys, status quo remains...status!', and even that would've been a lie, at the end of the day. Things were changing for him. For the better.

Or at least, they had been. Yosuke refocused the communicator, centering the lens. His arm hung in a sling, but that was downright cheery compared to the almost vacant expression on his face. He looked ashy. Not dead, but close enough to. Part of it was the lighting in Yosuke's (formerly Jade's) dark room. In the communicator's glow, Yosuke looked practically white. Not his best look ever. Hell if he didn't still stretch a smile across his face, though. A little too tight, a little too sharp, but there all the same. That had to count for something.]

Hey, so, long time no talk. I've...kinda been putting this off. Mostly because I, er. ...I wanted to make sure.

[Yosuke's dog was circling around his legs, and the boy took that moment to scoop him up into his lap with his one good arm.] Anyway, I'll just get to the point. Don't even know why I'm bothering to announce it, most of you probably already know, it's just...man, hell if I know.

Souji Seta, Kurt Hummel, and Jade Harley...hah, I guess BREW decided it didn't have any more use for them here. It doesn't really make much sense, but when does anything that stupid machine do make a...damn--

[Yosuke's hand shot toward the comm, jostling Lucky in the process. When the image returned, Yosuke was in just a slightly different position, eyes a little redder. As seamless a cut as he could manage.]

I've been kinda antsy lately. You know that feeling, when you're crawling out of your skin...yeah, that's me right now. Your friendly neighborhood spaz. I know I'm kinda damanged goods [Yosuke wiggled his sling for emphasis] but man, could I go for some ass kicking right now. Jade was my partner...best partner ever, honestly, but, hah, let's not get into that. I need a new one. It's not like you have to sign an oath in blood to be my partner forever or anything, it can just be a one time thing. There's gotta be a meister out there somewhere who wants to hit shit as bad as I do.

[Yosuke's smile stretched thinner at that; almost wan. For a guy who prided himself on being able to at least appear semi-okay at all times, he was doing a pretty piss poor job of it at present. It was all too much. Between Jade...Souji and Kurt...]

Anyway, yeah. That's all, I guess. See ya all around. [He flashed a quick v-sign with his good arm, and reached out to cut the feed. Though not before adding a few filtered messages.]

Seems it's still needed. Don't mind us.

[Rei stands in the middle of her gallery, pictures scattered across the floor from where they fell from the walls. She really should have done a better job fortifying them, but the idea of an earthquake hitting had never really occurred to her.

She was regretting that now.]

Everything's mostly alright... Some of the pictures were damaged, but I can replace them. [It's still disappointing though. And it's going to require a while of clean up.

She finally looks up and smiles, tired and strained. It's been a hard week.] Please check in with me, [You know who you are!] I want to make sure you're all okay.

[She turns back to the pictures and wonders where to even start]
