July 14th, 2012

[The baseball field. A rather mundane sight for many NV network entries. This time, however, the camera seems rather adamantly set on the ground somewhere out around the pitcher's mound. Some brushing and nudging noises against the microphone seem to indicate someone try to move it, but they aren't having much success.

A small black cat with a red bandana tied around his neck appears in the frame. He, it seems, is the one so busily messing with the bulky NV. With an annoying yowl he sits down in the dirt.

Then he speaks. His mouth doesn't move but the sound of a voice is unmistakeable. And furthermore, the voice will sound quite familiar to many people. After all, it once was only a voice, no body, no form, no nothing.]

Well. Never mind then.

[Now he looks up into the camera.]

Hello Siren's Port. It's me, Sissel.

I, uh... figured a few things out while I was gone.

- Elderly Woman Rushed to Skye Medical After Being Stung in Her Home

Andrea Bates, 64, was rushed to Skye Medical Center after being stung by a Darkness monster resembling a scorpion early this morning. According to her husband, he was awakened by a scream coming from the bathroom. By the time he got to his wife, the creature had already stung her on the heel and disappeared back into the shower drain. It is uncertain at this time how the creature managed to find a breach in the James Buckhead apartment complex located in Sector 4, but other tenants have begun voicing a loud protest in response to Mrs. Bates's injuries.

"It's not right!" Anthony Brown told reporters. "For all the rent we pay, we deserve to have safer homes to live in!"

Anthony Brown, a longtime resident of the complex, has spearheaded efforts to have the Darkness proofing fixed in the past, with little success. Authorities say Ms. Bates's condition has stabilized, but she isn't out of danger yet.

[Unlike her last post, Korra seems much more upbeat this time. Naga's large snout can still be seen hovering behind her. She gives the viewers a jaunty little wave.]

Hey there. [Naga also barks to say 'hello.'] Thanks to everyone who helped me out the other day; I really appreciate it. I had some questions about the island, and I figured it'd be easiest to ask if anyone who's been here longer than me knows.

Since I'm the only Water Tribe person here I don't expect there would be any places that sold water tribe food. Are there any markets that sell fruit like ocean kumquats or sea prunes? Or any seal meat? If not, are there any seals that live around the island, and would it be okay to hunt them? I guess it'd be kind of a long shot to find any restaurants that carry seaweed noodles, so is the seaweed in this world edible? The noodles aren't hard to make if you have the right seaweed.

[She scratches her cheek and looks pensive for a moment.]

Also, are there any doctors or healers who know how to deal with... hmm... delicate brain problems? [Korra seems a little unsure, and gestures to the crown of her head.] Someone who knows about chi and chakras and things. I've been told that the doctors here are really good, so I figured I'd ask.

Moments. There are so very, very many moments. Big ones, infinitesimally small ones -- I never used to notice moments. I existed in all of time and space -- what did moments matter? Well, that's not entirely true. There were always certain moments, ones that--

[the TARDIS frowns, pausing in her rambling to look at her NV as if she's only now aware it's recording. which is silly because she turned it on right before she started pacing about the flat. her eyes are wide, though, and sad, expression at least a little unhinged. she's always been a bit of a mad woman, after all]

When we leave here, those are moments, yes? And we experience moments when we return to wherever it is we came from. But some of those moments -- just the small ones, really, but the ones that have the biggest consequences -- we have to see those moments, don't we? But we won't know, because they might not come back. Or we'll leave and miss them. We can never know, can we? I never used to care about moments, but now...

[she trails off, almost as if she's done rambling. then]

Have you ever known the future and wanted so desperately for it to be different? For a way to avoid it, even when you know you can't? To change just one little moment so someone doesn't have to change instead?

[she has. and she worries. because Ten isn't in his flat, or anywhere else on the port can can find, for that matter, and she knows the time he came from -- and therefore knows exactly what he goes home to, if in fact he went back home. he did once before; there's precedent. she just wants very much for him not to have]

Thief? Thief, I need you.

[ It's been a little over a week since Xerxes Break's arrival in Siren's Port. His head and shoulders are framed precisely in the camera screen; it's an automatic function of his NV. A pillow is visible behind him. Faint beeping noises are audible in the background. ]

Hiiiiiiiii~!

[ He waves. His jacket (a blue robe) is too big for him; the sleeves flop about. His smile is somewhere between beatific and barking mad. ]

Allow me to introduce myself: my name is Xerxes Break. Like the rest of you, I've been pulled here, held captive, and cruelly deprived of candy.

[ The hospital dietician has taken a dim view of his (many) requests. ]

Anyway - I'm looking for a little girl.

[ He uses his hands to approximate her height: six inches! ]

Her name is Emily, I feel quite loooooost without her, she's my dearest friend!

[ His expression flickers for an instant; his gaze falters. But, a moment later, he's back to grinning. ]

Ah, but if she's nowhere to be found, perhaps someone could help me reconstruct her. Because people always tell me that I ought to work harder at making friends.

Bye-bye! ☆

[ The feed ends, as Break attempts to spear with his fork a wiggly block of jello. ]

[The video suddenly clicks on, the screen spinning in an ever slowing circle. There is a very obvious high pitched feline yelp followed by some small crashing sounds. In her panic, Tolly had clicked on the NV as she ran for cover further back in the room. When the NV finally stops spinning, the reason for her panic is obvious. The video is filled with sound: oud crunching and crashing noises, frantic and pained moos far off in the distance, and a resounding roaring that nearly vibrates the room.

Frau and Teito are just visible in the frame. Both have rumpled hair and have obviously just gotten out of bed. In fact, they're still in their pajamas. Frau wearing loose fitting sweatpants and a black tank top that only covered one of his three tattoos. Teito had on his green striped pj bottoms and a white t-shirt.

Off to one side the kitchen table is visible, still with breakfast sitting on it, though milk is dripping off the table and chair onto the floor. Instead of eating breakfast, the two are standing on the far side of the room at a sudden ledge. A ledge that used to be a wall. Both of them were staring out into the air then down at the ground below them with shocked looks on their faces. Frau glanced to the right, trying to figure out what the hell had just happened. A minute ago, before all of the chaos started, there had been a wall here.]

What the hell?

[Teito didn't give Frau any response. He just continued staring out the new version of a window with mouth agape. Finally he turned Frau's way with rather flat look and sighed.]

Somehow this is your fault. I don't know how exactly, but somehow.

((ooc: Teito is green, Frau is blue. Their apartment is on the edge of sectors seven and four and has just been partially demolished by Grellzilla here.))
