[Crowley is, oddly, on the shoreline today. The demon doesn't really have much of a taste for long walks on the beach, but his dogs do -- or, at least, they're enjoying the open stretch of land to run around and make a general nuisance of themselves. This place isn't an endless stretch of ever-expanding dimensional space, like Hell is -- and hellhounds, like all good hunting dogs, need space to run.

The demon himself seems to be staying away from the water, though, and he hasn't noticed his video feed is on -- though the NV is in his hand and he seems to be scrolling through something, as his fingers are moving across the screen -- and he glances up, at the sound of something yipping, and in an instant, the feed crackles, and the demon is closer to the water, to pull a curious puppy from the shoreline with telekinesis before he dunks his nose in salt water.]

What are you doing? There isn't even anything there except seawe --

[And then, the feed jolts awkwardly -- because Crowley's own much larger hellhound has abruptly shoved him not backward, but forward, in order to move him away from something that has suddenly lurched out of the Darkness -- but in doing so, the demon is sent directly into the oncoming wave of... well, the ocean.

And, well. Demons and salt don't mix well.

Cue a moment or two of crackling feed, an odd hissing sound, and -- that is definitely the sound of Crowley swearing -- before the feed abruptly turns back on. The demon has now since realized the stupid thing has been recording and, as a result, has ceased to give a fuck. Crowley, oddly, does not have his larger black coat on. It is wringing itself out behind him, with telekinesis, and the demon's arms are twitching oddly -- as his clothes are still soaked with salt water. The hellhound puppy appears to be fine, for those who can see it, and Growley is laying on the ground, with her stomach pressed into the sand, the very picture of ashamed.]

To those that it may interest, I have two hellhounds on the market for adoption.

Be warned that they are incompetent.

[And the feed abruptly shuts off in a burst of static as Crowley snaps his fingers.]

- Not So Happily Ever After?
One of the newest eateries in AGI’s ’fine dining fleet, fairy-tale themed Ever After, may have been put under a wicked curse! While food critics raved about its opening last month, calling the menu offerings “an enchanting medley of delights for the palate”, a series of unfortunate events may force the restaurant to close its doors. Last week, Head Chef and Pastry Expert Catrice Delmonico was fired on the spot after Bianca DeDrago (the CEO’s niece) found a worm in the evening’s special, a Grayson’s Orchard Apple Tart.

In the middle of last night’s Sunday dinner crowd, a dessert tray was uncovered tableside to reveal a trio of rats nibbling on a cheese and fruit platter. The city’s health department ordered the restaurant to close its doors immediately for vermin infestation.

“What luck!“ LeDon Ramaldo, newest chef on the line, cried angrily to reporters as he toted his set of knives out the kitchen door. “My last workplace was destroyed last week in a freak accident, and now this?”

- NOW HIRING Zipz Technotainment Arcade in Sector 2 is seeking Video Game & Vending Technicians, skilled in electronics maintenance. Technomancers preferred. No previous SERO affiliation necessary. Also hiring part-time referees for Laser Tag, Zero-Gravity Chamber & Battle Bot Arena. Starting pay $20 hourly.

[ It's not often Zoey resort to text on the network, but she really can't trust her voice at the moment. ]

I can't get a call to Rochelle.

[A rustling sound, like someone shifting around on a bed.]

You know, I make sure to pay really good attention to the calendar and changing the days, and I realized that it's been a whole year and a half since I first got here. It's sort of weird - sometimes it doesn't feel that long at all, but there are times it seems a lot longer. Even though it's hard, I'm glad. I learned a lot of stuff I probably wouldn't have, from some really amazing people. Some of them have gone home, but...

[She pauses, making sure her voice will hold before continuing.]

I know most of them are back where they would want to be. Even if I miss them, being sad just shows that we were close, so I think even that is something to be glad for. I hope everyone wouldn't be too sad for very long if I got sent home again, too.

I guess I just wanted to say thank you to everyone, all my friends and even people I've only talked to once. I don't know if I could have been very happy here at all if I didn't meet all of you, so I feel like owe you a lot.

[ooc: Forward dated to the 2nd! Tags will be sloooow because hiatus, but I wanted to slap this up now, because I'm not sure when I'll have a mostly free evening in the near future.]

Wow, what the hell was that? Right from one daymare to the next.
Just when I was getting all fired up, too!
Don't think this gets you off the hook, Pupa. You totally agreed to do this with me! We're not taking any 8ackseats to anyone!!!!!!!!
And what happened to that orange guy, anyway?
I haven't seen him in a while and it's kind of REALLY worrying...
8ut I'm tired of getting jerked around, here! I'm getting pushed to the side and this used to 8e my show. MY call!
I'm sick of 8eing dead and 8ored and totally useless and una8le to influence anything!
...Come on, I must 8e talking to someone.
Why else would I have found this cool-looking computer?
Helloooooooo?
I know this has to be SOMEONE'S dream 8u88le. A pretty 8oring one, too.

[McCoy is sitting in the break room again, it's late and the lights are dimmed, probably to conserve power, but the soda machine is glowing somewhere behind him and his NV is casting it's own faint blue light from the screen he has open. He looks tired, but that's far from unusual. It's been a busy few weeks. He pulls a pen from between his teeth before he speaks, the poor thing looks half mauled already.]

I'm starting to realized the lot of you still go out monster hunting despite any sort of common sense. So before I ask anything, i'm going to state right now that it's still not something I approve of, but you're all big kids and can make your own decisions.

That being said, I need a few favors.

Aside from the alarming amount of injuries and deaths that have been occurring due to 'natural' disasters, there's been a great deal of damage done to the proofing around here. Which means the critters have been getting in... which means we get to deal with more surprise injuries at night. And, disappointingly enough, we have little working knowledge on how to deal with certain poisons and venom these little bastards are chalked full of. If either SERO or AGI have coined the market on treatments, they're not sharing. Go figure.

To even begin to work on a proper treatment we need the actual poison to work with. I'm sure you see where I'm going with this...

[He frowns, scowls even, as a thought comes to him.] And before you go holding out your hand, the only reward that comes with this is gratitude and me not chewing your ass out if...when a reckless night ends you up on my table. Take it or leave it.
