[Filter: Crowley and Elaine]

[Christina sounds panicked, her voice a little choked, like she's been crying. And you'd cry too if you realized that all the chaos around the city is your fault.]

It's happening again. It's me. I'm the one doing this to the island. It's all me. [Her breath hitches.] I need your help.

[Sometime later, the following message comes through the Teen Titans communicators....]

[T-Communicator Message; Filtered to all members of the Teen Titans]

The weird crap that's been happening the last week? It's my fault. I-I can't really explain it, but my powers... They can make people act on impulses and I don't even have to want it. It just happens.

So yeah... I guess the only thing now is figure out a way to make it stop.

[And she's wondering, honestly, how many responses will be in the vein of JUST KILL HER. It's what she expects, but she's trying to have faith.]

[Here's Kurt a little more world-weary than before, but completely recognizable now. He looks calm, peaceful, like he'd just accepted something. He's also draped in an over-large leather jacket that looks frankly bizarre on him, but he doesn't seem to care.]

So I... I'm back.

That is to say, my memories have returned. The funny thing is that--when they did? The first thing I thought about was the Out of the Darkness Project. More specifically, the fact that I haven't made an entry of my own yet.

I hadn't wanted to. It seems rather narcissistic, honestly. But now that I think about it, I think I just avoided it because I was scared. Scared of being vulnerable, I suppose. But... I think I can do it now. So--here goes.

[He clears his throat, curling up his legs, perching on the couch in his apartment.]

[ When the feed comes on, Integra appears on screen. She is... still in bed. Not her own bed, mind you, but you probably won't know that. No, she's in Seras' bed... it's not like the draculina uses it, anyways. She's also in her pajamas still; large men's pajamas to be exact.

Scattered around her, are many things; a half eaten box of chocolate fish shaped crackers, half melted ice cream, a bottle of brandy that has DEFINITELY had more than a few swigs taken from it, and... cupcake frosting. Vanilla.

When she speaks, her voice cracks slightly, as though she has been asleep. ]

Well, at least the ground isn't shaking anymore. Do you people realize just how hard it is to sleep through that? It must be nice, being a heavy sleeper. I wish I could be like that.

[ There's a pause, and she shifts, accidentally knocking the melting ice cream over. She stares at it, before just sort of kicking it off the bed with her foot. She can clean it later... or better yet, make Seras clean it later. ]

I'm extremely busy right now, so I would appreciate a little peace and quiet. Thank you.

][ ooc; So this is Seven Deady Sins!Integra, also known as Sloth-tegra and Envy-tegra. Feel free to bother her by video or in person if you want to go to the Stoker manor. ][

[The video pans across a table completely covered in muffins, arranged into neat, cheery baskets, artistically arranged by color in a shallow pyramid. There are all manner of strange and strangely healthy flavors: raspberry lime muffins, zucchini basil muffins, blue corn muffins, ginger pumpkin muffins, and more. A little mechanical droid carefully adds another batch to the pile, still hot and steaming faintly. When the smooth voice comes, it is quiet, uncertain, almost ashamed.]

...I think I made too many muffins.

Does. Um. Anyone want some?

[Privated separately to Wanda, Dr. Orpheus, Loki, and Lucifer. Its sounds nervous.]

Is there any magical method that would guarantee perfectly repairing architectural damage?

[ There's a video, with the crack of dawn rising behind the dragon, the lukewarm light casting a gray light on the dragon's brilliant gold scales. But instead of Aurican's placid expression gracing his muzzle, his lips are curled into a terrible snarl, brows furrowed into an expression of anger, eyes shining. His long canine gleam by the fire within the gold dragon. ]

My memories have returned.

[ Fire licks his fangs, leaking out of his jaws. ]

In my world, I would have hunted down the person responsible to such a heinous act and kill her, for the consequences for such modification would have been catastrophic by simply relaying on one particular memory for one person.

However, this is not my land, and it is not my power or responsibility to do so.

I want this woman to be found.

- Bizarre Bar Fight Shakes Up Sector Four

A newcomer known only as "the Doctor" was arrested Saturday afternoon after an explosive bar fight involving throwing furniture and possibly magic. The fight in Sector 4's Moe & Eisley has left authorities puzzled and one dangerous suspect still at large.

According to witnesses, the fight started when an extremely drunk patron smashed a bottle against the table and challenged the Doctor to "dance," at which point the Doctor tackled him.  

While insane behavior from Newcomers is nothing new, what left authorities puzzled was the man who started the fight, believed to be a Newcomer as well, vanishing before police could detain him. Witness accounts ranged wildly from simple powers to a claim that he summoned a "familiar" in a trenchcoat by speaking in tongues.

"It was nuts," said fellow patron Hugh Mann. "As soon as we hear the sirens, this guy starts spazzing out and yelling at the ceiling. I tell you, he vanished into thin air right in front of my eyes!"

The actual damage to Moe & Eisley was minimal, and the Doctor is currently undergoing psychiatric evaluation, but that hasn't eased everyone's mind. "All's I know is they was both Newcomers," owner Moe Szyslak commented. "From now on, I'm carding everyone who comes in, make sure they're real citizens. I got rights."

Police are on the lookout for a short, bearded man with glasses and obvious facial injuries, presumed dangerous.

[Ugh. Those earthquakes last night. RUDE. There's little damage to the apartment, but poor Vivian the chair is rather agitated and crocheting at an almost frantic pace in an effort to soothe her nerves.

[Nevertheless, Retsu is smiling. Perhaps smiling a little too much, in that vaguely dangerous way of hers.] Little celebrations are lost so easily among all the chaos. And yet sometimes, when you look, you can see them. Such as the family that braved last evening's earthquakes to visit their ailing father in the hospital for his birthday. By all rights, they've little to celebrate at such a time, and yet the day is acknowledged. Because it means something to the person concerned.

Let us not be so continually drowned in the negatives that we forget that sometimes there are other things that deserve just as much acknowledgment.

[You know. Like birthdays. Like hers. Which is today. This is a hint for all of you people who have reason to know what an important day this is: do not forget about her. She has Wrath. (And yes, Byakuya, she has already received some of your gifts. You are off the hook, you lucky boy.)]

[VIDEO]

[About ten minutes after that bit of nonsense was accidentally sent out, a video of the Doctor - there's a bruise and a few cuts on his cheeks and his hair looks like a tornado ravaged it - sitting in a blank, white room is flickering into focus]

Right... Been a bit preoccupied the last day. Anyone want to fill a bloke in on what exactly happened last week or should I just start testing the water for steroids?

[There is NO EXPLANATION OF HIS MENTAL STATE. But he is, uh, holding up his little "mental illness awareness" card he's apparently supposed to present to any authorities who might start questioning him, now.] Got a nice souvenir out of it, at least!

[Matrix appears, alone this time. There's no sign in his mannerisms of him being affected by the deadly sins, luckily for him.]

With the ground shaking yesterday, it almost feels like a system shut-down... except, we're still online. I guess it was something else. Maybe it has to do with the errors I keep getting on my icon.

Either way, I'd like to do my part. I haven't seen any tears, but if there's any damage I can patch, I'll volunteer. Or, even better, if there's any monsters that need to be deleted, I can help.
