- The Joker reportedly attacked a news team yesterday evening after being arrested for the disappearance of Violet Whelan, a case in which he is a prime suspect. According to the media that was present, he drew a grenade from under his coat and started screaming "Tell them! Tell those brain dead idiot bosses of yours that I didn't do it!" He then went on to scold them for harassing a "poor, old entertainer". Nobody was harmed but the Joker did escape police custody and is still at large.

[The NV flickers on to reveal Teito, messy chestnut hair constantly blown into his face as he looks around, then back down to the NV. He's standing at a bus stop, and the early morning crowd can be seen filing onto a bus behind him but he's too busy studying the route map.]

Sorry to disturb anyone so early, but... can someone tell me where to find a library? A place this big has to have one, right?

[He pauses and frowns a bit, then offers a slight explanation.]

...I, ah, need to research wildlife ecology and physiology.

I know that there have been several complaints filed in the past few days about the police coming into the Tower Apartments and going through the belongings of Newcomers. Please, understand that this is not something we can avoid. In fact, no Newcomer officer is allowed to touch this case and we aren't even capable of responding to any sort of distress call from anyone in the Towers if they relate to this incident.

[She sounds calm, surprisingly, though there's venom in her voice.]

Rest assured, this matter will be thoroughly looked into when the young girl is found. Any and all complaints will be investigated. But for now, I hate to say it...but there's nothing that can be done. Don't let that dissuade you from lodging a complaint or speaking up about it, however.

And if anyone has any information on the girl, if you see anything suspicious, anything at all, please come forward or drop a tip on the hotline.

[She knows very well how the police can treat Newcomers even when they're on their "best behavior". She's going to bring it up in the department once all of this is over, though her priority is on finding the girl.]

To those of you who are new and are wondering why I'm wasting my time, my name is Re-l Mayer, Corporal Officer of the SPPD. I've been in this city for two years. I also work as a Newcomer case worker and I'm here to help you with whatever you might need, whether that be a job, housing, finances, etc. My office is always open and you can reach my NV at any time.

[Probably a bad idea but she'll go with it.]

If there's anything else I can help with, please let me know.

I know that a lot is going on right now, but...

[Not only is Yosuke completely serious at the moment -actually, he seems to be contemplating being sick, in spite of the fact that the plague is over and done with- but he's also sitting tall and trying to look responsible while he addresses the network.]

On Tuesday, I went to ask Rain-san if I could have my job back now that...um. Now that I'm available for work again. I always worked Tuesday, and I thought-oh, shit!

[Sudden realization, and a side of slightly guilty face.]

Um, Winchester-san, I apologize for missing that meeting. It's just that I didn't know the bar would be closed.

[Swallow. He seems to get the queasy, fretting thing under wraps. Or at least, he remembers that he's on camera finally, and pastes on a Customer Service smile. If his teeth weren't a bit clenched and his face wasn't a little sweaty, you'd probably never guess anything was amiss.]

It's...the Cat's Eye will be open again soon, everyone. So don't worry. It's um. It's mine, now. That's what the papers say. E-except I don't think Rain-san thought it would happen this soon, because he never told me.

[Wait, is he rambling on the network? Crap. He really is. Yosuke clears his throat, and squares his shoulders.]

What I mean to say is, if anyone would like to help me get things started up again, that would be great. I'm-um. I'm not allowed to serve the liquor yet, actually, and...

[Sigh. And a silly, confused bob that was a bow in his head, really.]

Any help would be appreciated.

[Today, the NV turns on as the girl on the screen is walking down the produce aisle of a grocery store, though she's not necessarily looking to buy anything.]

It's been a while since I was here! I don't usually go shopping or anything like that, but I thought it would be good if I tried to get a job again since it's the summer. I don't want to just sit around, after all!

[She smiles, before something to the side catches her eye - there's a fly sitting on an apple. Alarmed, she reaches for the piece of fruit, pulling it out of the middle of the pile where it had been resting. Of course, this sends the apple just above it falling down, and when she reaches over with her other hand to grab it, she slips. The hand that had been going for the falling apple instead hits the pile as she tries to save herself from falling, but all this really accomplishes is sending a good amount of the apples onto the ground.]

Oh, oh, jeez, I didn't mean to—

[From behind, there's a gasp from an onlooker, and she casts a worried glance behind her, starting to run before promptly tripping over a fallen apple. Muffled laughter can be heard before she picks herself up, sprinting down the aisle before she thinks to turn the NV off.]

[If you know anything about Crowley, you know that he likes nice things. And his office is no different. It is mahogany, leather, dark, elegant -- except for that extraordinarily gaudy knock-off Coach purse. Something that is both far too pink and far too fake for his expensive tastes. But that's not quite it -- next to it is a faux leather case and next to that appears to be a razor, a tiny bag of fine white powder, and a handful of condoms.]

Now, I know I for a fact this horrendous knock off purse isn't mine. It isn't even in my color.

[And he slides it to the left with telekinesis, looking moderately disgusted.]

As such, I am now setting up a lost and found. Should you like your items back, I will give them to you. And, even better, I will keep your name confidential for the finely tuned fee of one thousand dollars.

[Crowley shrugs as he settles back into his chair.]

Most of you would think that's a lot, but seeing as the contents of the purse are a sample of crack cocaine, a box of cheap contraceptives, a rusty razor, and an oddly suspect ball gag, I think the young woman who owns this would rather remain anonymous. I'm also under the impression that the Daddy found in the Tracfone in the left pocket is not her legitimate father.

I would go through the bag further, but I thought I would try being a good Samaritan. I also don't want syphilis.

Have a nice evening.

[And the feed ends.]
