[He didn't mean to stay out this long, but he was so caught up in playing with Kumajirou time slipped away from him.

With the bear held snug to his chest, Canada tries making his way back to the Welcome House.]

This is..no good, Kumajirou. No good at all. But look! We're almost-- AH!

( Cut for blood oh no )

I....I'm sorry.. [Slowly, the feed then turns dark and eventually cuts out.]

((ooc: Kumajirou is safe. Canada however, has been turned into a Taken. If you wish to take him down or just run into him go here. He may not respond a lot to this video though.))

Guuys..a little help, please.

[Canada's feed is coming from the bathroom in Sigyn House, where he's been looking at his reflection now for several minutes and rubbing his face.

Not sure of what to do about his sudden new growth of manly facial hair.]

D-Does..anyone have a razor I could maybe borrow. I promise I'll give it right back too. Any help at all is greatly appreciated though.

((ooc: For a wonderful visual aid of this magnificent scurffage, here.))

Who knew this moose would actually come in handy one day!

[The feed shows that Canada's somewhere in Sigyn, just strolling along on the back of the moose he received several months ago.]

Today seemed like a good day to put him to work a little, though I did have to hunt him down first this morning. I'll..probably need to change clothes when I get back. [He pauses for a moment, bringing the animal to a halt as well.]

I have to wonder though.

Where did all this water come from? It just seemed to appear out of nowhere one day. It hasn't rained that much lately has it? And certainly not that much to cause a flood.

How strange.

[With that, he closes the feed and then continues on his way.]

((ooc: I'll get to tags when I wake up.))

Uwah, such an efficient design...

[The video turns on to what looks to be a young Japanese man with his arms stretched in front of him. In person he's actually stretching the screen, testing out all of the functions he can manage. Moving it around, keeping it still and stepping back... At that point he seems satisfied and recalls that he is actually broadcasting right now (apparently) and so focuses, giving a small bow of his head.]

Ah, hello. It seems I was greeted by someone who very much resembled a nopperabo, and then told many things that I believe are far too much to process at once. [A brief pause here.

Yeah he's not sure what to make of this so he's just going to... bring a hand to the side of his face, tapping nervously.] Is this true?

I was told I was given a power, but I am not sure if it is one I would like to 'test' so simply... Ah, but that aside, I would very much like to meet any others who find themselves in this same position. Thank you very much. [And he ends that overly formal message and turns off the video!]

[ No greetings, or any attempt to be friendly and open today. She can't be bothered being polite today. However, even despite all the bitterness and anger directed in various directions, Hanako will turn the audio feed on and speak to the network, hours after Heimdall's announcement.

Her voice is quiet, and oddly cold even for someone as gentle as she is. ]

I would like to once again apologize sincerely to whoever ran into me during the... competition, and all the discomfort my reactions caused you. I was completely out of control, and I don't think there's still any excuse for what happened.

[ She feels like gagging at the mere mention of the 'competition' word, but she'll continue. ]

Our House apparently... won a considerable amount of gold. This is directed to all Sigyn members; what are you planning to do with all that? I am just curious.

[ Hanako waits a few seconds, then she'll click the feed off. Someone is obviously hurt and in need to talk with anyone. ]

[Someone seems a little excited..sort of.]

At first I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me, but that doesn't seem the case. So now that all the color is back, what do we do eh?

Do we just get to go home or..is there something else we need to do before we go?

Though I kind of have a bad feeling aboot this whole thing..

[Rose doesn't tend to use video or voice feeds, but this one is for a special occasion. The video feed clicks on to Rose...simply sitting in her room, a cup of tea in her hand, and nothing more. The bracelet seems to be sitting on a nearby table. There's a tenseness to her, though, a strange, tight-lipped look.

This lasts a few minutes, actually. It's hard to see, but she appears to be gripping the teacup so tightly that her knuckles are turning white.

She takes a long drink from the cup in her hand, draining it entirely, before setting it back down. She casts a look to the clock in her room. Four minutes. Not long now. She turns back to the video, leveling it down again with a gaze.

It's a hard stare. It's an angry one.]

Allow me to extend my gratitude to our ever-benevolent hosts, for their prompt consideration of my request.

I'm sure the purpose of your favor will be duly noted.

[She wants to scream and rage and make the entire city turn in on itself. She could do it. She knows she could. But her Seer's eye showed her such an outburst would be useless. No point in it at all, and it would just make things all the harder for her once she returns.

She will return. She'll be back before the day's over. It's not like she hasn't died before, and with the way her fate is slated, Rose doubts she'll even feel anything.

But the heat and the building pressure still makes her hands shake, and she folds them together even more tightly, eyes never moving from the camera on the video feed.

Five. Four. Three. Two. One.]

( Cut for graphic content )

[The feed clicks on showing the bedroom of a certain Canadian. Everything seems to be normal, so what's Matt so concerned about?]

I'm not sure if this is someone's idea of a joke or what but..[He pauses for a moment.]

Would anyone like to tell me why there's a moose in my bedroom?

[Canada turns around and sure enough, there's a youngish looking bull moose smack dab in the middle of the room.]

Where did it come from even? How am I supposed to take care of it? [So many questions.]

[He starts pacing around his room, mumbling to himself, and forgetting to turn the bracelet off.]

A-ahhh.... Hello? Good day, this is Tohru Honda. [She sounds highly nervous and uncertain of what she's doing, talking to this machine like it's a phone. It's just a screen. So advanced! And DVDs had surprised her; this was even beyond that! All the same, she smiles brightly.] This is almost like being a secret agent with a secret device I'm speaking into. Like contacting headquarters!

[But, sadly, the reality isn't as glamorous, and she gets right back to the matter at hand.]

I was told by the kind woman that I could get more information this way. It would be very appreciated if someone has the time.... If not, that's alright! I can probably read around and listen for what others say.

The letter she gave me said I was - [she's still stunned by this!] brought here to restore color. To help. To flourish.

I'm uncertain how much help I can be with that, but I will try my best, if you will have me. And if you will, I am more than happy to give my all here. I am very honored.

[She tries to, and thinks that she did, shut the feed off. The screen is still there, no longer floating but fixed in place, however - she's looking through the names listed - it's just switched to voice as Tohru didn't quite push the right button in her nervousness. This sort of technology is very new to her.]

I left without being able to tell anyone. And Uo-chan and Hana-chan. What will they think when I turn up missing? I can't turn away if this place needs help. I wish I had been able to tell them....

And Kyo-kun. [She trails off there, any further thoughts being so personal she won't even mutter them out loud.]

I should go look for where I need to stay.
[Feed shuts off.]

[Just to turn on again five minutes later. Tohru is looking up at the sky - with owls everywhere - in awe.] Look at all the birds! [No, it doesn't occur to her they shouldn't be out during the day.] So pretty.... I'm not used to seeing so many at once!

[Yes, she just had to tell you that. Now it's off. For good this time, really.]

[Canada's in the middle of running away it seems when the video feed suddenly turns on, totally by accident.

He's desperately trying to get away from these...things that just attacked him for hardly any reason at all. Poor Matthew.]

S-Someone--[Pant.]

--need..help.

[He continues to trip over himself in his attempt to escape, but is luckily able to heal the little cuts and scrapes he gets from falling. He may need a bit of help with the deeper cuts.

It's not until a few minutes later that he even notices the bracelet's been on this whole time.]

Does anyone think they could lend me a bit of assistance? I-I'm in Sigyn district if--ah!

[The feed cuts out just then.]

[The device clicks on though the image does not immediately show the user. After a few moments of movement Kisa appears, her eyes a little puffy. To anyone it's clear she had been cry but since calmed herself enough to speak. Though she seems to still be trying to form her words more clearly. Taking a few breaths she timidly looks at the device, still not entirely sure what to do with it.]

...why was I brought here?

[She pauses looking at the floor.]

I can't fight or help this world...I just want to be with my family and Onee-chan.

[As the words left her she becomes a little more distressed. Being in a separate house is not something she wants in anyway.]

Can I just stay with them?

[Last words being more a whisper before she clicks off the device.]



((ooc: Just because I didn't mention Kisa is in Sigyn house.))

[The video feed shows a very concerned looking young man, standing out in front of the God House in Sigyn District. He studies the feed for a few moments.]

Is this thing on? [Canada then clears his throat.

He tries to speak up a little but really, his voice is still very quiet and shaky.]

I'm still not entirely sure what the meaning of all this is but, I don't suppose there's anyone who can tell me what's going on, eh? And why this place looks so....dull? I thought maybe it was my glasses but that doesn't seem to be the case. [He laughs nervously.]

Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.

[Pause.]

And if you see my bear, Kumajinjo..please tell me.
