[Well, hello DDD, today you're gifted with a feed that opens to a scene of nothing in particular. There's an enlargement of a few strands of blue hair and the sound of the shower running. The camera zooms outs by itself, and it's obvious it's recording something in someone's bedroom. A few seconds later, Michel arrives on sight and notices the voyeuristic device recording. Smiling, he takes the camera in his hand, not allowing it to focus on the mysterious blue-haired person beside him.]

Guess this saves me the trouble of making my own post. Poll: what do you think is better, straight or gay sex? Or better yet, a woman's touch or a man's? [A pause] Can you tell what's been on my mind lately?

[And with a playful wink, he cuts off the feed]

[ooc: michel is going to be using this topic as an excuse to flirt with everyone, male and female alike since he's hit with lust. also he's got a lot of sexual tension with blue-haired people (girlfriend, best friend, ... micheal but spoilers: it's not) so feel free to have your character take a wild stab at who he might be with.

ALSO LOCKED FROM KIDS.........]

Isn't that just the silliest thing you've ever heard? It came up on my phone this morning for today's horoscope-- not that I'm the least bit superstitious about that business, you understand-- and I nearly burst out laughing! How could anyone ever resent my interference? If I give you a suggestion, you should be on your knees thanking me for speaking to you!

Anyway, if I intend to get my money's worth on this app, someone's horoscope had better be accurate! Give me your sign and I'll tell you yours, and I won't even make you pay for the privilege. This is a once in a lifetime offer!

[here we see Azula sitting in some quiet, secluded part of a laboratory-like building-- she's studying her language books, because even though she doesn't really enjoy it and she doesn't see the point of a world having multiple languages, she's a perfectionist and she will learn all the languages she needs to know for the Vatican goddammit]

[and then suddenly, out of nowhere, a h8ersgonnah8 comes racing up behind her and launches herself at her back, wrapping her arms around Azula's neck and her legs around her middle; Azula presses her palms flat to the ground to keep herself from falling forward, but from her nonchalant reaction, it's clear that this isn't the first time that this has happened]

I don't know if you were trying to sneak up on me or not, but I did hear you coming, you know.

[The video starts up with Tails, looking not only rather sheepish, but guilty.] I have an apology to make. I was acting like a real jerk for the past three days, and I'm sorry to those that I hurt.

[He shifts uncomfortably in his chair.] I'm not sure who to ask but, am I still a member of the Nice Club or do I have to rejoin? If there's anything you need me to do, just ask.

[The video then ends.]

[Unbeknownst to Tidus, the video starts recording him while he makes his way to a red and sunglasses-clad man. A man with a jug of some mysterious fluid and a really big sword resting next to him. The man looks to be resting, but Tidus doesn't buy it. He pauses, then figures if he were ever particularly cautious he wouldn't be where he was right now. He reaches, relying on his speed to try and take the sword, only to have the man looming over him in a split-second later. For a moment, he's frozen, until the man--Auron--finally speaks.]

What were you doing?

Uhm...nothing!

[Tidus waves his hands animatedly, laughing nervously. He starts to leave, only for Auron to grab onto his hood.]

What--

Lift it.

What, that thing?

[Tidus is shoved toward it. He stops, glancing at the weapon, then at the man, who only gives him a flat look as if saying 'What? You were so eager before.' Meeting Auron's challenging stare with a determined one of his own, he walks up to the sword and tries to lift it. He manages to, with some difficulty. It takes both hands. The blitzball player glares daggers at the older guardian.]

I'm just going to go and...borrow this! [He starts to back away with the sword. Auron takes a step forward. Tidus quickly drops the weapon and runs off. Some time later, when he's alone.]

I tried, Harumi.

[ooc: deep-red/italic font auron's dialogue, black being tidus'!]

I was not acting like myself for the past few days, if my memories are accurate.

Even as I scan my systems, it seems that nothing is amiss.

Why couldn't I detect it?

... wow. What a weird few days.

If I said anything to hurt anyone, I'm sorry. I really can't apologize enough.

[ If you're wondering why the feed you're getting today sounds a bit tinnier and more static-y than usual, that would be because Lyle, master of the actual bona-fide accidental voice post in a sea of community-induced ones, has... sat on his phone. Yup. You're getting tinny futuristic-phone quality livestream direct from his pocket. ]

[ There's a heavy sigh before Lyle speaks, sounding tired. ] ... So. How many did we...

Haven't heard yet. [ The second man's voice is lightly accented with German, sounding just as exhausted. ] They haven't got back to us with numbers... Hey! [ he raises his voice ] Have you got that radio working yet?

"We're still working on the signal, but--"

"--acked today. For reasons of both security and accuracy details cannot be confirmed at this time, however the government believes that over half of those present in the te-- [ There's a loud shuffling of static as Lyle moves that obscures the rest of the sentence, then a decisive click as he turns it off. ]

Turn that shite off, Klaus, the last thing we need is the official spin on it. [ More rustling and static, closer to the phone this time, and then with an absent-minded scrabble of someone trying to get a grip on something and a click, the recording ends. ]

[Rise is sitting at her computer chair, same as always, dressed in her school uniform. She looks slightly upset, with her mouth in a small, tight line.]

I just decided to say something n here before I went to school today.

[The tightness and uneasiness returns to her face.]

My friend's sister is in the hospital and I'm so worried...
