[The video starts with Caterina filing her nails at her desk. It's very late into the evening (or early into the morning) and Caterina is clearly not in the best mood. Her voice is soft and light as she addresses the feed.] 

Curious, isn't it? We cheat this place out of having a virus and it goes down temporarily. I wonder if it's a coincidence or we struck a blow to whoever controls this site. I sincerely hope it is the latter. It would be nice if all the annoyances learned their place every once in a great while.

Brother Petros, may I have a word? Quickly, I beg of you.

I am in love with one of my subordinates. It will never come to anything. I do not deserve their affections even if they were not in love with someone else. This heart of mine is vengeful and petty. It's fitting that the body that holds it is dying a slow, painful death.

I am a bad woman. This is the sort of fate a wretched woman such as myself should have. 

... What would you give your wife for your second wedding anniversary? I am a humble knight, I have nothing to offer a woman who is able to get everything she could ever possibly desire?

It's my understanding my younger brother was spirited away with you. I beg of you to please keep an eye on him until the community sends you back. I already have requested Azula, the Lady-Saint, and Abel do the same but, it would put me at ease to have you performing the job as well.

[Caterina seems weary as she address the camera. She might not have used the video feed at all if she hadn't just finished a video conference with her older brother. With all the fires she had to put out there wasn't any time to get picky over how to send the message.]

For the next week or so His Holiness and the Lady-Saint will be resting and unavailable. Please forward any messages you may have for them to me and I will see to it they receive them.

It's been some time since I was able to access this. I trust everyone who recalls this voice has been well viruses aside?

For those who do not, I am Cardinal Caterina Sforza, Duchess of Milan. It's a pleasure to meet all of you.

[locked to Azula and Abel]

I expect both of you to still keep a close eye on His Holiness' activities here despite my return as well as brief me on any and all suspicious people here immediately.

I sincerely hope that both of you are enjoying yourselves despite all this talk of ghosts.

[Abel; this lock actually works!]

Thank you for defending me.

[Caterina is pacing the room in a tower. For those who have seen Sleeping Beauty, you will be reminded of the room Aurora was kept. The spinning needle is even there.]

I mustn't touch it....I mustn't.... Where is he?

I need anyone who has the ability to heal another being regardless of what they may be to contact me immediately. Details will only be disclosed to anyone who seems capable.

For those of you who are unaware, I am Cardinal Caterina Sforza, Duchess of Milan and Minister of Foreign Affairs in the Vatican. All of you have come into contact with my agent Gunslinger also known as Father Tres Iqus.

I realize you must all be curious about Father Tres. Allow me to make one thing clear though? You are not to toy with him.

He is my machine of his own will and volition. If you wish to see or speak with him outside this community, it must be approved by myself first. Agent Gunslinger is only here to help me protect the people of this community from the Contra Mundi. Nothing more, nothing less. I am willing to overlook this if you abide by my request. The first visit will have to be supervised though. As a woman of God, I know how easy it is to give into temptation.

Thank you for your time.

Can anyone tell me who this is?

( { ooc cut for legnth and TB storytime } )

I do not know about the rest of you, but I am tired of the games he is playing on this community. We all know the Contra Mundi is lying. Frankly, if you were stupid enough to try to kill them you'll end up dead. Not because of those two. They are far too kind to even consider killing someone who had the nerve to try such a thing. I would have you killed.

With that being said, if you want to make a stand against him and protect your worlds, contact me. For those of you who do not know me, I am Cardinal Caterina Sforza, Duchess of Milan and Minister of Foreign Affairs in the Vatican. More importantly, I am that man's enemy and the superior in charge of Father Abel Nightroad and Lilith Sahl.

The Fire Lord is boarding the Iron Maiden and heading to the location the doctor is being held. She asked me to pass along the message to you.

Would any of you know where this took place? I'm aware you wish to deal with this matter on your own, but it seems there is someone there who either needs rescuing or is acting as bait. I'd like to see everyone make it through this situation unharmed, and moving quickly on this might be the only way to catch up with him before anyone else gets hurt.

Oh, and Lilith dear, thank you again for the lovely party.

Stop this girl. I don't want another person from a foreign land to die on our world.
