Give me your two cents... how am I doing? Flaming ≠ concrit; it won't be tolerated!

All I ask is that you be civil and mature. Because if you throw a barrage of "you suck" at me, I'm probably just going to laugh. 8|

Hm~

I have a bit of a request, although I'm not going to get my hopes up for being able to get all the things I need. But I'm looking for a few ingredients for a meal!

I need milk, flour, eggs and butter. I'd think a couple of them can be arranged, but whatever's left, I'm sure I can improvise!

Is there anyone who may be able to help? I'd gladly do something in return for the items, if it's possible!

I'd offer a place to stay for all these new guests, but we're a bit tight on space!

But..

HELLO, EVERYONE!

[The video clicks on, but it's dark]

There we go~

[There's a quick motion, making the video feed almost dizzying. But after a moment, Fay's face can be seen. He's grinning widely right into the camera.]

Hello, Discedo! I hope everyone is doing okay this evening~

[He lets out a chuckle, winking at the camera.]

I think communicator-san will be angry with me if I don't say something soon. But instead, I'll show everyone something!

[The feed cuts away again, going blurry. After a moment, it stops. At first, you can see the drawing Syaoran did of a pitchfork. But it pulls away further to show this:

]

It's not much, but it looks more complete now!

Discedo is always changing, isn't it?

So many things can change over the course of a year~ At least it's always interesting!

We're only a couple of weeks away from Halloween, aren't we? If I remember correctly from last year, at least. I wonder if the scientists will do something to celebrate this year. It was fun getting to see all the festivities last year!

Now, if I'm not mistaken, many people wear costumes to celebrate, correct? I know our resources are limited, but I have a question!

What do you want to be for Halloween this year, Discedo?

[The feed clicks on, but nobody talks for a while. There's a bout of wet, defeated coughing. And then silence for a long time.]

I hadn't realized getting some air...

[There's another pause and weak laugh.]

That screeching certainly enough... to stop you in your tracks.

[And another pause, and obviously feigned "okay" speaking.]

I'll be back upstairs in a just a bit~




[[Okay, he got attacked by redead like... hours ago outside of Horton. Badtouched by a redead and passed out from bloodloss. And he's pretty hurt and bloody and a mess right now. :)]]

I've been a bit quiet lately, hm~? I suppose it's easy to get distracted when things have been relatively calm. But I don't want communicator-san to get angry with me again!

[He pauses. He has an actual point that he's getting to.]

Anyone who's going to be training with Kuro-chuu is more than welcome to come by to our apartment afterwards to eat! All that hard work should be rewarded with a decent meal~ It's not much since our supplies are fairly meager, but I'll do what I can!

Which reminds me, Kuro-rin, we're going to have to go and get some supplies this week. I presume you'd like to go, yes? And Syaoran-kun as well?

A--- Uwah!

...E-eh? That was...

I don't suppose you'd know what that was about, would you? Such cute things... but you know more than you let on.

I suppose I'll have to take a different route back to the apartment now though. This way sure isn't getting me anywhere fast!

[There's a pause and the sound of a jingling. One of the Medicine Seller's scales is now sitting on his head.]

So you want to come along, hm? I guess there's no harm in that!


[Fai walked right into some ofuda for the Medicine Seller's chip event. He got a nice jolt from it, and now he's made some new friends with scales!]

U-UWAAAH!

[Someone got shocked by their communicator!]

Nobody has seen Syaoran-kun, have they? His... his frequency...

Li-kun as well.

I suppose it's best for both of them, though.

Hm~ It appears this constant fall of ash is getting a bit heavier, isn't it? I'd say my eyes are deceiving me, but it seems to be changing colors. I'm not quite sure that holds any significance, but I do hope everyone is careful if they have to go outside! I wouldn't want anyone getting sick from inhaling too much of that!

[There's a short pause - he's thinking.] Syaoran-kun, Li-kun... are you both doing alright? I feel as if it's been ages since we've spoken! Perhaps we can do something soon~

( Private; Hackable )

Ah~

I'd say quite a bit has changed in Discedo since my arrival! It's almost hard to believe I've been here a whole year now~ It certainly is a strange twist of fate, hm?

It causes me to think~ What makes these scientists decide who stays, and why?

And perhaps... if the changes we've made to ourselves since our arrivals have a thing to do with it.

It's all very curious, I'd say!

( Private; Unhackable )

It's been too long...

Has anyone seen Syaoran-kun?

[It's eerily quiet when the feed cuts in - the sound of glass tapping a tabletop can be heard. Breathing, and even a small sigh. The sound is slightly muffled by Fai's fingers fiddling with the communicator; he's thoughtlessly playing with it. After a few minutes, speaking can be heard.]

Y'still haven't told me what y'want for your birthday.

I have you! That's certainly enough, Kuro-wanta~

Tch. Damn mage.

Is Kuro-sama still embarrassed? It's been six months!

M'not embarrassed.

Then why is Kuro-myuu blushing?

M'not blushing.

Yes you a~re~! It's cute!

M'not cute, dammit!

Kuro-sama is the cuteeeest boyf---

[With another accidental press of a button, the feed suddenly cuts out.]

( Private; Hackable with effort )

...Ah! Sometimes I forget how tempermental communicator-san gets when I don't use it! I suppose I shouldn't just leave it on the kitchen table anymore~

[Icon displays as THIS one]

[The feed turns on, and it's quiet for a long time. A soft, almost manic chuckle is heard. It falls silent again for a short while before he speaks.]

I'm sorry, Fai.

[It's silent again for a while before he speaks again.]

Kuro-wantaaaaaaaaaa~ I'm going to the bar later if you'd like to come!

Hm? It looks like we have a lot of guests this weekend!

HELLO, EVERYONE! Please be careful out there~

Yoohoo! Whoever's the cause for all this nice stuff~ Everyone is excited about the wine, but would it be possible to have some sake brought around these parts?

Kuro-sama and myself much prefer it to wine!

Of course, we'll take that too, not to worry!
