First Glow - Video (Backdated to the 14th yesterday)

[alwaystraveling]

Her face is calm and serious as she looks into the camera. The difficulty of sleep - with the change of schedule and the pressure of Siren's Port - has left bags under her eyes.

"Hello. I'm Yvaine, and I arrived last month. " A pause as she gathers her words.

"I'm grateful to those I've already spoken with. It's helped me understand this place better. From that, I see this place is changing, has been changing for a while. And not for the better."

She'd nearly been attacked several times; quietness let her escape with a few bruises on her arms. She's on the brink of losing her new job too. Yvaine won't tell herself anything definite yet, but she's inclined to think similar things and worse are true for everyone else.

"If it's not too much trouble, I'd appreciate someone giving me a bigger picture of what's been happening. It'd be very kind." A wry smile accompanies the last three sentences.

You got somethin' more specific you wanna know, ma'am? There's an awful lot that's been goin' on 'round town recently.

[Poor thing. She doesn't know that the powder keg of Siren's Port Politics has just exploded.]

Video [and that icon was unbelievably inappropriate or unconsciously genious ;)]

[The death of the governor has given her some idea, but these things are so common in human history that the specifics blur when Yvaine tries to look at them. Especially in a world she is unfamiliar with.

She nods and smiles.]

Thank you.

What exactly is the power play with these 'AGI' and 'SERO'?

late!

[inthejunk]

Sorry to say it, but you came here just in time for something really bad to happen.

It's not late to me!

[alwaystraveling]

That seems to be the case. Have things usually been stable before?

sweet

[inthejunk]

Stable...no. Not exactly. But still, it was never this bad before.

Re: sweet

[alwaystraveling]

I suppose an assault and a mysterious murder would do it.

[inthejunk]

Yeah. But it was just the straw, like they say. This has been coming for a while.

[alwaystraveling]

For at least as long as people have been pulled here, I've been given to understand.

[inthejunk]

Sure, I guess. It's really only the last few months that its been this crazy and violent though.
