[ Hello Network, you're treated to a close-up of a single charcoal eye before the person who it belongs to moves back, revealing a young boy with messy black hair that's kept in place with a headband. His left eye is covered with a bandage and he has a very puzzled, uncertain expression on his face. ]

Is this thing on? [ The screen goes blurry for a moment as he taps his NV before he seems to notice something and stops. ]

I was told this reaches some sort of network? [ If his expression is anything to go by, he doesn't... really get it, but he's pressing on regardless, suddenly a bit hopeful. ] And that maybe I could find someone I know on this. So I figured I should introduce myself so uh... Hey, I'm Obito Uchiha of the Uchiha clan from Konohagakure. [ Have an awkward wave and although he tries to keep a cool expression, he's failing because WOW this is uncomfortable and awkward. It's like talking to a mirror or something.

There's a long pause as he tries to figure out what next to say. ]

I've already been explained some things, so there's no need for that I guess. There's only one thing I'm wondering about though... [ He hesitates again for a moment. ] Does anyone remember dying before they came here?

[ And now it just got more awkward. Quickly: ] Uh, that's all! [ OBITO OUT. ]

- The Stork Arrives at Sector 4 Daycare
Police received a phone call from Sunny Side Day Care yesterday, where caretakers discovered that several children in the pretend-play area cradling screaming infants. As the newborns were removed, several tantruming toddlers had to be carefully subdued, as they continued to insist that the unidentified children were “their babies”.

Police suspect that one the youngsters may be a powerful reality shifter, capable of turning toys of imaginary play into real live infants. The four babies recovered, all intersexed and unidentified, are currently being checked over at Skye Medical Center’s natal floor, but may soon become available for adoption.

Um... So, does anyone know how to take care of a baby penguin?

[In case anyone thinks Blaine's gone crazy he moves the camera of his NV where you can show a baby penguin that is hanging out in the sink as Kurt's hands try to care for it. It's adorable, and seems content despite suddenly finding itself alive.]

In case anyone is wondering why we have him... He was a stuffed animal this morning.

[ What appears over the network is a car. It is simple; black with four doors, good size. The scene shifts to reveal Integra, who looks quite pleased with herself. ]

As much as I enjoy the horses, I went and bought a car. The payments were low enough, and while it isn't... exactly what I am used to driving, it will do. I went to the DMV a few days ago to get a license, and now I am on my way to go get the vehicle registered.

[ Pausing, she peers back at it. No more walking, no more getting horses and carriages ready... this is going to be a very, very good thing. Or bad thing, depending on her driving. This is also a good distraction from the loss of Walter. ]

Would any of my housemates want to join me? [ Yeah. She's wanting to show this thing off, okay. Who wants to take a ride with Integra? ]

Someone is missing.

I'm looking for a man, my race, but small, finely built. Brown hair, glasses. His name is Alan.

He's ill. I need to know where he is.

[Eric manages to keep his voice calm, but his haggard expression tells another story. He looks like he hasn't slept in days.]

I've checked his work, our friends, people he knew... he's not anywhere.

I have to find him. He's ill. He needs help.

Please, help.

There's a tiger in my house.

[He speaks deadpan, until you hear the slight crack at the end of it. Oh yeah, he's definitely affected by this strange happening. Yes, it's weird, but it's also unsettling. Especially since the animal has taken up to sleeping on his bed. It almost looks like a giant house cat. Almost. It's kind of cute, but with claws and teeth that'd tear him apart, Alan doesn't want to keep it.]

I don't know how it got in here. I don't care if it's a prank. Just- someone please tell me who I can contact to come get it out.

[For a long moment, Youko thought about using audio, because it's less overlooked, but she doesn't need many recommendations for what she was going to ask. She didn't think it was worth it if she asked about the benefits of school vs two jobs. She has already chosen. Education in this place was pretty worthless.]

Is there a place where I can commission a scabbard for a sword? I'd really something simple to an accessible price. I don't need the sheath to be ornamental. I'm just sick of wrapping this with a dirty shroud if that makes sense.

[Something I can afford. She refuses to depend on the so-called "kindness" of others.]

Thanks.

[She types without meaning it. She ends the message with that.]

[The sound startles him out of bed. Trained instincts take over and Byakuya grabs Senbonzakura, rolls to his feet and adopts a defensive posture. His NV falls on the floor beginning to record. It shows two skinny legs and feet scampering across the camera.

Byakuya walks past and scoops it up, ignoring it as he puts it on the hall table. It shows his bare back, some pretty epic bed hair, and him in low-hanging bedpants. He’s very confused until he sees the two Wakame Ambassadors - one small and cowering behind the legs of the much larger one. Yuki yowled somewhere and the smaller Ambassador shot backwards to hide behind Byakuya’s knees.]

NANI?

[What doesn't help in the midst of all this is that there's suddenly a . . . polar bear in frame. A polar bear wearing a Santa Claus hat and a red-and-green striped scarf. And it just stands there a moment, staring at the larger of the two Ambassadors.

[Or the fact that Hitsugaya is there behind it, unaware for the moment he's on camera, who appears to have found Yuki. Or rather, she's found him, and is currently trying to bury herself in his hair.] Stupid cat. What the hell are you --

What the hell? [It's bad enough that the polar bear had burst out of his closet a few minutes ago. But the Wakame Ambassador? Honestly?]

[Byakuya is pretty helpless at this point. The plushy Wakame Ambassador that he’d bought Hinamori for her birthday was trying to pull down his pants and hide behind him. The bigger one is flailing and trying to defend someone from… possibly the fern in the corner. Byakuya’s not sure.

The polar bear stops, looks, snorts and then lumbers onward. However, the snort causes the bigger Wakame Ambassador to show his valor and he ends up behind Byakuya too, shaking his fist at the meowing Yuki.]

Polar bear.

[That’s his intelligent offer to this conversation.]

I'm aware of the polar bear. [He's been trying to get Yuki off of his head, but she's gotten herself pretty well-entrenched in there, warily eyeing the two Ambassadors behind Kuchiki. Sigh. It's not worth it to keep trying to get her off of there when she's being so clingy.]

What I'm not aware of is why it's moving, and moreso why those [A brief gesture at the cowering Ambassadors.] are moving.

[A small rumble in the kitchen. Byakuya took a cautious step forward and managed not to leave his pants behind, despite the two Ambassadors. He peeked around the doorway and sighed. It was too early for this.]

It’s trying to get into the refrigerator.

[He finally tugs his pants free of the Ambassadors.]

I woke up to one [He’s not sure what to call them, honestly.] of them coming into the hall and Yuki yowling. She is unharmed?

[Great. Not only has the polar bear in his closet come to life, but it's hungry. He hates this damn city.]

If how hard she's trying to dig her nails into my scalp is any indication, I'd say she's fine.

[There's a sudden blaring sound in the background.] Shut that stupid alarm off, will you? I'll figure something out with the bear. [And he heads out of frame, cat still on his head, and into the kitchen.]

[The alarm is a soft and gentle buzzing sound that would wake him up. He sighs and turns around, neatly avoiding getting grabbed again by the smaller Ambassador. He picks up his NV as he goes past and accidentally shuts it off, never noticing it was on.]

[OOC: This is Hitsugaya. Byakuya in black. Have at them]
