[The video feed shows Lee at an odd angle. His communicator seems to be on a table or countertop, so you get a good look at Lee's chin more than anything else.]

Ah, sorry, one moment!

[In a bustle, Lee rounds up the last of the silverware he was grabbing then picks up the communicator with his free hand and brings it up to a more eye level alignment.]

Greetings, Death City! I hope you all are just about to enjoy a nice dinner, like myself! However, I have been pondering for a while if I should speak out about something important to me and decided that I would do so tonight, so...

[Lee clears his throat, his other hand still full of utensils, and gives the communicator a big grin.]

Hello, I am Rock Lee, and I want to tell all of you about the Hug Brigade! For anyone new to Death City, you may have heard a little about us. We are a group dedicated to the right to give hugs! Some people are lonely here, they miss their homes and their friends. But no one should be denied a comforting touch and smile! Those in my group strive to bring everyone a little warmth back into their lives, and I believe we do accomplish just that!

[As Lee talks, Neji can be seen walking about behind him, gathering plates and cups, though he keeps looking towards the pots sitting on the stove...]

The Brigade can always be found at Morning Training! We offer hugs and kind words and smiles, and some consoling as well. And we are always looking for new brigadiers, so if you feel you have a strong will to make others happy then do feel free to come to me, Rock Lee, and ask to be signed up!

[In the background, Neji approaches the stove and begins stirring one of the pots...]

Speaking of which, I would like to ask for current Hug Brigadiers to please check in with me through the communicator so I can get an official list of members so we can discuss--

[There's a gasping cough and Neji falls to the floor, releasing sounds that are frighteningly similar to choking. With a gasp, Lee turns around and the communicator is shuffled as he runs.]

Neji! That is my spicy cur--

[The utensils and communicator fall to the ground and the camera feed shuts off.]

I apologize for this, but Sollux Captor is no longer in Death City. From what I understand he had been here for quite some time and had made quite a few friends. This is the reason I am sending this message out.

Perhaps we will be fortunate enough to have him within these walls once more.

[John's never really made an entry to the network before even though he's been here for awhile, but better late than never, right? He's sitting on the floor, his rabbit hopping around and exploring in front of him.]

Hi, guys! [He waves with a smile.] I just wanted to say sorry to anyone who was worried about me and to say thanks for helping Karkat not to kill my rabbit while I was away. I went home for a year but I'm back now! It's kind of weird having a full year go by back home when it was only one day here... I got to meet a lot of people I've meet here though so that was fun! I got to see all my friends again too, but only for a little moment before I was brought back. That kind of sucked but oh well. I'm sure I'll see them again.

What did I miss? I heard something about people going missing on missions...?

[It's Azusa again, and she's on the move. She doesn't look too happy, but really when does she ever?]

Good evening. For those of you among the Network who have arrived recently via BREW, I am Azusa, a Deathscythe of Shibusen.

I would like to thank Mr. Barret for his report on the missing persons, however the list has been updated. The following agents are confirmed missing:

[ TEXT; ]

Andersen, Johan
Arisato, Minako
Banner, Bruce
Hades
Higashikata, Josuke
Holiday, Rebecca
Judai, Yuki
Sendo, Takeshi
Six
Stark, Tony
Takagi, Saya
X
Pharaoh
Jaeger, Eren
Peixes, Meenah
Psiioniic
Tohno, Akiha
Sion Eltnam Atlasia


A search is being conducted as I speak in the regions where their signals were last detected, and in the meantime all missions going to these areas have been closed. Due to the high possibility that this is a Witch-related incident, I ask that all agents remain diligent in the case of a rescue operation after sufficient intel has been collected. Thank you.


[Filter: Cloud, Sephiroth]

The situation has decided to take a turn for the worse. At your soonest convenience, I'd like to see you both in the Death Room.

[Karkat has never thought he had a flattering face, but it's particularly ugly when he's worried, because he looks about two times his age. And he's worried alright, because a certain housemate has been missing for far too long for comfort.] Has anyone seen John? John Egbert. He's human, and he wears stupid glasses and has stupid messed up human dentition. Actually, wait, hold on, I drew a picture. A lot of you probably know him; he's the obnoxiously friendly type. Anyway, he hasn't come back to the hive in a while, and it's not like him to just disappear like that. Well, okay, it is, but not for this long. He would have finished setting up a prank by now. If anyone's seen him, let me know, because I'm going to run around the whole fucking city looking for him, and that's going to be a pain in the nook. If anyone wants to help look, that would be cool, just look for a guy running around that looks like my drawing.

Also, does anyone know how to take care of a hopbeast? ...Humans call them bunnies. It's John's, and I have no idea how the fuck to take care of it. I've just been feeding it carrots, and making sure it's still breathing. John's going to murder me if I kill this thing while he's gone.

[He sends a rapid fire text Dave's way. He wants to make certain Dave doesn't get into trouble.]
private text to dave )

[It takes him a bit longer to send the second text, only because he feels weird about asking for help, because it's something he sucks at doing, and it doesn't happen often, but he's worried enough that he goes ahead with it. So, Signless' crew (Di, Psii, Rosa, and Signless), Kanaya, Aranea, Meenah and Sollux will get this text.]

Has anyone seen Saya today? She didn't come into work and I can't contact her.

She was supposed to be back from her mission already...

[The feed turns on to show two trolls: Signless and Disciple are standing next to each other. Di is holding the mirror out with one hand, and has the other wrapped around Signless' waist as she lightly leans on him.]

Hello, Death City. I hope everyone is recovering well from recent events, and I welcome all our newcomers. For those of you who don't know us I go by the title of Disciple--or Di for any uncomfortable using that.

[ Signless has one arm around Di's shoulders, keeping her close. his own mirror is in his free hand, though his attention isn't on it. he's softly smiling at her mirror instead. ]

While I am known as Signless. While I welcome all those new to the city as well, our intention is to share some news.

[She looks away from the mirror to look at Signless for a moment, her expression soft and warm before turning back to face the network.]

A peri-- [Pause, use human terms] a month ago Signless and I became engaged. In a little over a month we will be wed.

[Her face flushes lightly, but you could see no happier expression on a person]

[ his eyes look towards her, his smile growing. ] Actually, she proposed to me. "Marriage" is an unknown concept in our culture, but the reality is...

[ and here Signless presses a kiss to Di's temple. usually he doesn't go for that sort of PDA but this is a happy announcement. ] I do believe it is perfect for us. We are sort making this an invitation, of sorts.

[Aww yee. Di is the same and the way her blush heightens indicates this but she is too happy to care.]

Our wedding will be the 6th of July and will take place outdoors, in the park center at 10pm. It will be a small affair but we would enjoy seeing some of you there.

[The video feed clicks on, and the brunt of it is taken up by cake. Or, more accurately, cakes. Big and small- though mostly big, some even tiered, piled on every table, countertop, or available flat surface in Ramza's apartment. Most of them bearing bright, Magenta icing, and the occasional message of "THANKS BLONDIE" or "YOU'RE FUCKIN' ALRIGHT" or "BEST FISHES"]

... Does.... anyone here like cake?

[As he gets up from his seat, a single half-finished cake sits on the table among a half-dozen others. And to make matters 'worse', behind him, and well out of his sight, Meenah- clad in an apron and oven mitts- gives a cursory peer around the corner before quietly bringing out another colossal confection, carefully setting it on one of the few bits of free space still present in the apartment.]

...I cannot even hope to finish all of these myself. She has been baking for hours, now. I plead, if you do-- [He carefully rights a precariously-positioned cake he bumped against.] --I live in Casualty Communal, 9G. I'll even make some espresso to--

[He stops in midsentence as he takes another glance at the baking backlog.]

...Meenah! You're still at it?!

[suffice to say, the feed cuts shortly thereafter.]

[The screen comes on and at first you just see an eyeball. An eyeball with a red iris. Then the screen jiggles and he pulls it away and flings his cape over his shoulder most of which can't be seen in the screen because he can only get it an arm's length away. But he thinks it's properly dramatic. And he's made sure to be outside on the roof where the wind can properly blow his hair in a dramatic fashion.]

The Great Hero Hamel has arrived in your city! [He pauses then corrects himself with less drama] Actually I arrived a while back. But I get how to work this thing now! HAHA. I now have a job! Working for the little frog man on his shelves. It seems like a strange job but as long as it pays I will do whatever he commands! Even if he calls me made up names.

Also! I hear that money can be made on these missions! [He leans in closer to the screen and comes off looking a little psychotic] LOTS OF MONEY. Tell papa how he can help and in this vein apparently I need a partner. So, all you [His fingers is shoved directly at the camera] lucky ladies feel free to put in an application! I'll need your measurements to get you properly suited up!

[Hamel is about to turn the video off and then remembers something and you can see him shift the screen past a huge violin in the background back to his face] Oh yes, and where is the best place to find giant earthworms here?

[Private to all trolls; Filtered away from Condesce]

Some information has come into my hands that I'm curious about and I was hoping one of you could enlighten me on this subject. Multiple answers are not only fine but also encouraged because there's no such thing as too much information.

I assume my question is simple, however I'm still unaware of minor details in troll culture so it could be more complicated than I'd imagined.

What's a "moirail"?

And on a second note, I've worked out a more effective sopor substitute. However, I'd like opinions on what you believe the best method would be to apply it. Via a sort of reuseable patch, a type of lotion or merely a container with strong enough fumes to be effective or any other ideas you may have.

Recent conversations have sparked some curiosity in me.

We all come from different worlds and different times, and I can't help but wonder what some of the common myths, legends, and fairy tales are in these times and places. Such things can be very telling of the people from which they come and I think I might enjoy making a collection of sorts and analyzing them.

So, Death City, if you would be so kind tell me about your worlds and the stories you've been raised on. The more detail the better, and if you know anything of their origin that is better yet.

I had lots of fun on vacation but I'm back now! I hope that nice fish dealer guy didn't forget about me. A tasty salmon sounds good about now.

Hey, I guess Maka and Soul are busy! [Small pout] Blair is kind of lonely without them. Who wants to come on over and keep a pretty lady like me company?~

Hello, Citizens of Death City.

My name is Yukio Okumura. Like many others, I am one of the recent arrivals. Hopefully this is not too much of a bother but if anyone comes across a teenage boy bearing the same last name as me, could you please tell him that his brother is looking for him and to meet him at the entry of the Casualty Communal?

Thank you

[The damn device phases in and out a couple of times, much to Mindfang's dismay. Once her face comes on screen, it can be seen that her wavy raven hair is being tamed by a rather lame looking sun hat. At least that would keep the blistering heat off her face]

I am assuming many of you have already heard too much contrite babble to be bothered with questions that have been asked hundreds of times. For that reason I will save my breath sating my curiosity toward the obvious.

[Momentarily she fiddles with the device, shifting down an alley way that has much more shade. Fuck the sun. ]

I will, however, ask where the hell can I get my hands on a decent wardrobe for this dreadful climate? I seem to be without my sylladex for whatever reason.

[She scowls, still unable to find any relief from the 94 degree weather. Ugh. Just ugh.]

I cannot bring myself to believe that anyone tortures themselves by voluntarily living in this barren wasteland.[Slight pause]

Are there any familiar faces out there?

[Please for the love of all that is sanity, do not let a Redglare be the one to answer this message]

Though, one obvious question does plague my think pan and I'm afraid I shall have to ask it anyway; what is a Meister and how the hell could I possibly have some type of ability?

And how do I go about finding out just what that ability is?

[There is quite abruptly a very upset teenage troll on the screen. He's glaring at the camera as if it has personally offended him. Normally he would have done this over text, but he wants to see familiar faces, and besides, the best speeches aren't given over text.]

Listen up, nooksniffers. Here's how this is going to go. I don't have time for this war. I'm already fighting in one, and that one I actually give a shit about. Since I can't leave until this place stops getting his ass kicked, the plan is to win this stupid war as quickly as possible so we can all get back to our miserable lives wherever we came from.

Okay? Good. So, what's being done around here to get everyone battle ready? Whatever it is, sign me up. I need to figure out this whole fucking "being a weapon" thing. [He even does the air quotes for added effect.] Talk to me about the training and shit. Otherwise, keep your squawk blisters shut and brutally destroy those Kishin things.

With one exception. [He raises his pointer finger at the camera. It is not the finger he's used to raising, and he very nearly flubs that up. He's used to giving speeches over text, alright. Maybe he should have done that instead...] I've already seen a couple of familiar faces around here, which leads me to believe there might be more somewhat tolerable assholes around here that I might be familiar with. If you are one of those losers, report to me so I know who's here and therefore not in as much grave danger. Worrying about you bulgelickers is a full time fucking job, alright, and I don't want to have to worry any more than I have to, because it's annoying as shit.

Alright, I'm out. [There's a little fumble and a muffled curse, along with a lovely view of the floor of Karkat's place in Casualty Communal before the feed cuts out.]

[ Soul could make comments on recent events, be a serious Death Scythe and support his leaders in urging caution and blah, blah, blah... But he hates talking too much and he hates sounding boring or uncool even more than that.

So instead of looking super serious, he's actually leaned back in the chair of his desk after classes, clicking the tip of a clicky pen as he addresses the feed. Someone can feel free to tell him that noise is really fucking annoying, but there's no guaranteeing he'll stop. ]
