[ Ladies and gentlemen, have a bright eyed Duo Maxwell for your viewing pleasure, grinning to himself as though he's just thought of a funny joke he isn't going to share with anyone else. He's fresh back from a mission, and though he may look a little tired (in the jet lagged way) - there's a pep in his step about having just gone to fight overseas. It was reminiscent to the war and yet not, but either way Duo found he liked the travel aspect even if the fighting wasn't something he truly enjoyed. He was good at it most days, yes, but enjoyment was something he was a long time from finding when it came to waging wars. ]

So, I have like.. 3 things I need to talk about before I have a lovely reunion with my bed:

#1 - I'm back from my mission in Switzerland, and it looks about the same as it did back home, just a little less technology hanging around. Didn't get a chance to visit Brussels but.. I'm sure that'll come up at some point, right? Now you guys just need to catch up with space travel! Which isn't that hard, so one of our sciencey people ought to hop on that.

#2 - I picked up a job with Matt at Black Mesa fixing up all sorts of techno stuff on house calls, so if you need anything give us a call, yeah? Don't let me be bored around the city or everyone will grow up to regret it, eh? I can pretty much work on anything you give me to fix up, and I used to do my own repairs on a gigantic fighting robot, so nothing's too big of a challenge even if it's just placing a few screws or what not.

And last but not least - is anyone missing a puppy? [ Duo proceeds to hold up this little guy for the camera's inspection. He's a bit smeared with dirt and skinny, but there had just been an attack on the city, so he feels the need to make sure that this isn't someone's dog that got lost in the chaos of everything. (But he'll still be broken hearted if it turns out the little guy has an owner still lurking around here). ]

I wanna make sure he didn't get lost in the chaos, or anything, before I resolve myself to keep him. But in the mean time he's gonna get a hot bath and food, so let me know if he looks familiar to anyone....

I feel like I oughtah do a news bulletin sign off or somethin' but I'm lacking creativity today so, everybody take it easy in the meantime, okay? Later!

[Absolutely no time had passed in Zeratul’s own universe, but he’d arrived back in Death City last night to find he’d missed three days. Judging by the state of the city and the ruins of the Bazaar off in the desert, he’d missed more than that. Worse yet, every attempt he’d made at communicating with any of Shibusen’s agents near the Kishin Chamber had failed miserably, and he was forced to find another way to communicate. Using the text function of his tiny mirror device was frustrating, but it served its purpose. Before long, though, he knew he was going to need more help than that.]

Adun toridas. I have been absent from the city for several days, and it seems as if BREW has altered my capabilities. While I could speak before, I am no longer able, so I must rely on this device to contact any of you. If anyone capable is willing, I need to confirm that I am still a Meister. I suspect that is no longer the case, but must find out as quickly as possible.

[Private to Tassadar]

I require your assistance, my friend.

En Taro Adun.

[The voice echoed throughout the communicator as his near-featureless face appeared on the screen. His eyes were glowing softly in the darkness as he peered at his communicator, and to those that knew him, it would appear as though Tassadar was contemplating something.]

The emitter has been destroyed, however, the threat still hangs over not only all those within this city, but beyond the safety of the city's walls as well. And yet despite this, each victory we achieve together is one that gains us ground in this war so then we can strive forward towards winning it.

We have all sacrificed much, both from leaving our worlds and the dire situations within them and even here in this world, but do not allow such sacrifices to weigh a heavy burden on your shoulders.

Let our actions speak for us in this war as we stop reacting to our enemies, and show them that we do not fear them.

[While he had never feared an enemy before, still to this day he hadn't, Tassadar had been weighed down by the burdens he'd placed on his shoulders here in this world. After the last battle, however, he finally felt free of the shackles binding him to place.]

[Private to Sarah Kerrigan]

I will accept your offer, Sarah Kerrigan.

[Private to Zeratul]

You have my gratitude, my friend. I fear that without your council, I would have remained in the dark depths I had found myself in.

[Private to Gray Fullbuster]

En Taro Adun, Gray Fullbuster. You fought bravely in the face of danger, and it was an honour to fight alongside you.

[Gai looks happy and confident. There are a few bruises from the latest mission, but not many and he seems very relaxed.]

Hello Death City! Do you know what day it is?

[He pauses and viewers may be able to practically feel his excitement bubble up.]

Today is the first day of spring! March 21st! It is a day that should be celebrated and embraced, because it is a day of new beginnings and rebirth! Of life and growth!

I will be in the parks for most of today, since training is over for the day. Do you have any traditions with which you greet spring? I would love to know them!

Also, Lily, I believe I asked you to come see the park with me on the first day of spring.

[ It's nearly two in the morning, and Duo looks about as exhausted as he sounds. As if his sleep schedule wasn't sporadic and meager as it could be at the moment from years of sleeping when and where he could, not apparently his mind found this the appropriate time to plague him with nightmares and replays of memories he would rather forget. Dark circles are beginning to form under his eyes and rubbing at them probably doesn't make it any better, but he's doing it anyway.

Unfortunately his first attempt at talking is interrupted by a yawn, but when he does speak it's hushed and drowsy. ]

I know it's like... ungodly o'clock in the morning right now, and I'm sorry if I'm waking anyone up but.. [ Hold on, it's apparently break time to take a drag off of the cigarette in his other hand, as he sighs the smoke out through his nose a moment later. ]

Sleep is completely evading me tonight, and I'm wondering if anyone knows a particular 'trick' to getting back to sleep after nightmares? Or just.. a general way that it's better to try and fall asleep with than nicotine and a shot of whiskey? Otherwise that's my next step, because I'm seriously gonna fall out if I keep not being able to sleep..

I mean, my sleep schedule is really messed up but I've never really had the nightmare problem until I came here... Is that like, a common side effect or just me.. ?

Anyway, sorry I'm rambling but my brain is fried. I'd really appreciate any answers...

[The screen clicks on to show Tassadar's face. There are trees and the sky in the background, and those who know the city well enough would know that he's in the part.]

En Taro Adun, Death City.

[He fell quiet for a moment, as if trying to collect his thoughts.]

While it has taken some time... I believe I have mourned the loss of my previous Weapon long enough.

I am seeking a new one, for any Weapons who do not have partners and are desiring to attempt such a thing. If you hold any interest, then I wish to speak with you.

( Locked to Kerrigan and Zeratul )

[ooc: for anyone who might be interested in partnering with Tassadar, I'm looking for this to be a temporary things. I already have plans in the works, but that won't be in-game for a good few RL months yet. I would love to get the CR though!]

proudambassador

[He's seated at his table. There's a full wineglass next to him, and a bottle beside that. He seems in a rather pleasant mood, but that might be because of the wine.]

How many of us are there, hm? Not the Centauri, I am the only Centauri.

[He's also had a bit to drink, so he's not making his point well.]

The others. The ones who are not human, yes? There are many of us? Or only a few? I cannot tell.

And I cannot tell how many are human and from worlds where they know of aliens. Sometimes, it seems like a very small number. But there are some, yes? Not all of the humans are oblivious, surely.

It is strange, to have so few who know the stars.

[Londo chuckles.]

And here I am thinking of them, but it is rose-water nostalgia, as you humans say. For all of their beauty, there is much that goes on among the stars that is not to be enjoyed.

[Now he grins widely, looking at the screen.]

Oh, and if my good, esteemed G'kar is watching... I have a partner. You, I am betting, do not. Good luck with that, yes? You will need it. Or perhaps I should say your partner will need all the luck in the universe, and all of the patience, dealing with you.

dissenter

[it's been over a month since qilby last showed his face in a personal post on the network, and since then the pile of books on his workspace have grown to obscene levels. either he's been spending all his food money on these things -- he certainly isn't looking any less gaunt than usual -- or someone's been seriously ignoring their due dates at the library…

due dates don't apply to kings, anyway. and that's the truth!

he smiles a tired smile.] Believe it or not, I think I'm beginning to exhaust Shibusen's library of its resources. A word to the wise -- the selection is smaller than it first appears, when the majority of books are restricted to the public.

[is that a subtle jab at the way things are run? probably not. he's still generally-cheery looking, after all.] I wonder what the policy on traveling outside the city is, when one's not accompanying their partner on a mission. It's dangerous out there, of course, but I'm curious about the rest of this world outside the city's walls. It's not every day that I-- [well, that'd be a lie] ... That most people get to see a new planet, and I'm sure I'm not the only un-partnered individual who's got an itch to explore. The libraries of the world await...

... Perhaps, when things calm down a bit. [you know, when you mighty warriors can afford to sit around and lounge by the pool all day.] In the meantime, does anyone have any suggestions as to other ways of acquiring study material? A man needs to keep himself occupied.

[you have no idea.]

kill_some_time

Should anybody ask, tell them that Hades does not reside in this city. …you might also wish to omit any relation you have to gods or the like yourself.

[Family. Don’t you just love having to deal with them?]

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