[When the video starts, there's Setsuna, who is sitting a desk, holding a roll of duct tape. He seems to be contemplating the duct tape very seriously.]

How do you move forward to the future, when there's something holding you back?

[ A blinding view of cool halogen light floods the feed for a brief moment. It focuses in and out, trying to adjust the contrast. What emerges is a smooth white ceiling, blank and economical as a sheet of paper. Voices begin to filter in on this backdrop, quiet and even. ]

--y freedom wasn't really something I'd thought about. Even from the beginning when I was handed over to the Federation.

[ A shift marks the clink clink of ice against glass. Looks like somebody is getting boozy. Or somebodies. ]

Why not?

[ --Definitely somebodies, including a rather unexpected somebody. ]

If that was meant to be my atonement, I decided I'd bear with it and accept the consequences for what I'd done.

[ A moment of silence hangs in the air, interrupted by an abrupt shift. The feed jostles, turning towards the sources of the conversation. Dark hair, strange eyes, dressed to the nines in orange. In the background, Setsuna F. Seiei is instantly recognizable. Allelujah looks faintly disturbed that it'd begun recording on its own. To a community, nonetheless! You crazy kids. ]

Setsuna, do you know about this?

[ Setsuna just looks annoyed at the device. ]

That's the community. [ And he isn't thrilled with the community at the moment. ] It's taken an interest in us.

...Ask Mileina to explain further. [ Because, really, he can't. Especially while drinking. Mostly because he doesn't understand all of it himself.

Allelujah knows better than to press the issue and settles for looking wanly amused, despite not knowing if this was actually okay. ]

I'll have to ask her later, then. [ When he's sober. Being jailbroken was a lot to take in, really. ]

Ducks, huh? It's hard to imagine this is the kind of thing that's become popular.

[ Yes well, four years ago you didn't like the taste of alcohol, Allelujah. And Setsuna wasn't even old enough to drink. Or "discuss" pseudo girlfriend problems, for that matter. Because that's exactly what they're doing. HOW TIME FLIES. ]

[Hello, Community. Today, you are all getting a face-full of Setsuna F. Seiei, who is looking rather annoyed.

Well. More annoyed and surly than he normally is.]

Has anyone seen The Doctor? He and I need to have a word.

[And by "word," he probably means "stabbing repeatedly," if his tone is anything to go by.]



((ooc: Setsuna is just a tad bit miffed (and embarrassed) that some of his personal information was made public by the Tenth Doctor in the tail end of his most recent post.))

[When the video starts, Setsuna appears to be sitting in a restaurant somewhere on earth. Exactly where on earth is difficult to say, but that's hardly important. He's a bit too engrossed in whatever file he's reading to realize that the feed even started and that the community is invading his privacy once again.]

Sumeragi Lee Noriega...

[He was only talking to himself there, since it fairly obvious no one is with him. His expression shifts to one that's more contemplative, and its around then that he looks over towards his comm and realizes that its recording. There's a look of annoyance, and he initially reaches to shut it off, but pauses midway. Things tend to happen for a reason, right? So maybe he should take advantage of this.]

There's a former co-worker of mine... she and I started a very large and important project together, but she left before it was finished. Work was... stressful. But if this project is ever going to get done, I'll need her to come back. What would be the best way of convincing her?

[Setsuna has his own ideas in mind, which mainly involve forcing her to return to the fold, but if there's a good alternative out there, he'll at least consider it.]

I'll be heading to earth in a few hours. [Nevermind the fact that he just got rescued from space a few hours ago.] Saji Crossroad will remain here until further notice.

[And the video ends there, just as abruptly as it began. Such is the way of Setsuna F. Seiei.]

...Hm. That was unexpected; I would have thought they'd have this sorted by now.

Drama Drama Duck. It's been a long time.

There's not much to do lately, but think. I suppose it would be easy for some to fall into despair at times like this, but it's important to remain level-headed. Things will get better.

Does anyone know anything about electronic devices? Mine seems to be irreparable, although that could just be because I have limited tools with which I could try to fix it.


[[ Guess who's back, back again~ All replies will be anon for now as Setsuna is still lost in the desert somewhere, but this is the beginning of our cast's plan to bring him back! Yay! I'm looking forward to rping as him with you all again! ]]

Setsuna F. Seiei, if you can see this, just give me a sign. Anything. I know that I have already tried here, but I've tried everything else too. Send me some sort of signal, if you can.

What about the rest of you? Have any of you spoken to him? Seen him? Anything at all?

Has anybody heard from Setsuna F. Seiei lately? I understand that as it is the school holidays, he's probably on some sort of vacation, or doing other activities, but I really need to discuss his transfer. While I hope that his time at Ouran has been educational in both academic and interpersonal terms, we are eager to have him back.

[Video]

[The scene is a cramped room, full of mechanical bits and tools of all sorts. A teenaged girl is staring in the viewscreen. She reaches out and taps on the casing.]

I don't get this thing. Where did it come from? The technology is so different than what I'm used to. [She frowns then sits up, exhaling sharply so her bangs fly up away from her forehead.]

But I guess I can talk to people from here, huh? So, I'm Winry Rockbell. [A sweet smile breaks on her face.] I hope to get to know you soon.

Community. I have a mission for every single last one of you!

The last few days have been...unpleasant for a lot of people. And while there doesn't seem to have been any lasting damage, it makes me wonder...how do people cope with death? Particularly the death of a loved one friends ...someone you've grown close to?

[[ OOC: Posted a couple of hours after this and during this, i.e. Setsuna decided to check the comm while Neil and Lyle talked and thought he should set things straight :|b ]]


I am not missing, nor have I been kidnapped. I had an errand to run and forgot to tell Tamaki Suou that I would be absent for the afternoon. My apologies for Tamaki any upset caused.

SETSUNA HAS BEEN MISSING FOR ONE HOUR AND TWENTY SEVEN MINUTES. HE CAN'T HAVE LEFT VOLUNTARILY

HE DIDN'T TAKE HIS STUFFED ROBOT

[Spain is sitting in his couch in front of the chimney. His house has central heating but he's having problems with the economy and using the chimney is less expensive. He's wearing a colored scarf around his neck and his cheeks are reddish from the slightly fever he has, but he's smiling. Spain has something in his hands and there's a basket next to him.

"Hola community! This year I decided to give people home made presents for Christmas."

[He shows to the camera the a small doll he's holding, it's a plushie of Rose. The camera shifts and we can see what's inside of the basket. There's a lot of plushies in it: One of Byakuya with a ':>' expression, one Azula pouting, two blue haired ones (Naoto and Issei), two albino plushies with dark glasses (Cori1 has a small knife and Cori2 has a kitty), one of Giselle, one with a eye patch that it's Ciel, one of Kinnikuman, Setsuna, Devit, V.....in short, if he ever talked to your character a plushie of him/her it's there. And all the nation too. North italy is next to Germany and Japan, While Spain is next to France, Prussia and South Italy. There's a plushie of Spain's brother, Portugal, and England's plushie is far far away from him.]

"..But I can't worldhop and I wanted to ask if someone can help me to deliver the presents."

Whoever covered my motorcycle in tinsel and fake snow, and hung baubles from the handlebars - it's not appreciated.

What's the point of mistletoe, anyway? It just makes girls more giggly and annoying than usual and causes queues in the hallways.

It's stupid.

[ You see a small black Setsuna-kitten run across the field of the camera, ears back and tail puffed up, obviously fleeing something. It turns out that something is Tamaki, currently looking about seven or eight years old, and having the time of his life ]

Kittyyyyyy! Come baaaaack, kitty! I want to plaaaaay!
