[Guys, it's the last network post you will ever see of Raul Creed sitting behind the desk of his Newcomer Community Center office.]
This is a hard time for everyone, and I thank you for the time you all are making to watch this message. While it hasn't been made as public, due to the party's wishes, the Newcomer Community Center has been... [That just gets a wave of his hand.] Well, it's still standing, and anyone who might wish to seek refuge can still come here, for as long as they need to.
[He sighs, leaning forward just a little.] It's unfortunate that this city which many of us have called home is being torn apart like this. I know that I did not expect it to become like this. But, despite the drastic, and at times fatal changes, there are still many options available for everyone.
One of those is to leave the island. There are many boats and many people leaving the island as quickly as possible, and it is very easy to gain passage on one of them. And if anyone needs anything to help get them on a boat that is supposedly "full", then the Newcomer Fund will give you the necessary means to find a spot on it. [Times are serious, after all, and there's plenty of money in that fund.]
Another option, some of us believe, is to go home. Back to your home, wherever that may be. We're all from very different worlds and universes, as we all know, and many people will want to go home. I'm sure we all feel that we are being drawn to the Core in some way, and I will admit, going home is a best guess on my part. I say it will take us home, but I am not a scientist, so please be mindful of that. [You could go somewhere else, or die, or whatever by going to the Core; how the hell is he supposed to know?]
And the other option is to stay in Siren's Port. For some of us, this is home. This is where we've put down roots, so to speak. Where our families are, in whatever shape or form they are in. Perhaps the way the city is right now will die down, and things will go back to normal; or, maybe they won't. Just as much as all of the other options, this is not one that has a 100% guarantee rate of success.
[And now he leans back in his chair.] Which leads into the next part: all of these options are choices that you need to make. It is your choice, an individual choice that everyone must make. This is not a choice for families or groups of friends to make. Do not let anyone pressure you into making a choice. This is the biggest decision we've all had in awhile, and it is up to you to decide what you wish to do for yourself, not for anyone else. To be quite honest, I personally do not know what I will do. It's a stressful time, and I wish I could give an opinion of what is the best option, but my choice is not your choice.
But there is one thing I want everyone to agree on. Whatever you decide to do, wherever you decide to go: remember us. Remember the experiences you had here, both the good and the bad. Remember the friends you have made, the families you have created. Remember those who left us before we were ready to be left, and the relationships we had with them. Remember the trials and tribulations we, as Newcomers, had to face, and how we survived even in the face of adversity.
Remember us. That's all that I ask.

[ That's why he's only leaving the island. He doesn't want to go home and forget. ]

It wasn't, yet it was. I didn't want to forget. But I don't want to leave behind people who might want to go back to the world I live in.

[He has a flirting tone to his voice, and on top of that, a smile.]
Video; their love transcends time and space~
I know I would not want to forget you.

[He gives him a respectful deep bow]

I am glad to have met you, Iroh. May I ask what you plan to do?
Video
[He strokes his beard]
I plan to make an attempt to return to my own world. I have family and a duty to my world there. It was just recovering from a hundred year war.

[The tone is jovial, but it'll likely happen]

[Hopefully that doesn't sound as sad and scared as it is.]
I put these off because these are so hard to write ;A;

[It's probably a bit too honest, really. There's nothing good that comes of admitting that, but there it is anyway. The people and things he's come to care about are here. Not back in Hapan.]
I guess it's not a good idea anymore.
<333
I wanted to, as well. This was my home, this was where my family is. Where we've lived together for years, at this point. I felt that this would be my home for as long as time allowed it.
[A sad smile.] It seems time has finished. I may not be staying here, but I would hate to lose anyone, as well.

She's sitting in her bedroom, where she's been waiting quietly since everything started, sprawled out on the floor with her chin in her arms as she stares into the camera.]
Papa...are we going to stay here?
video; crying D:
I don't know, Pino. I don't know what I'm going to do. But I also do not know what you will choose to do.
no subject
[She shifts her head up so that she can rest her chin in the palm of one hand instead, and smiles calmly.]
You said that I'm your reason for living, right? And if you go home, then you'll just die again. If you still have the chance to exist, then you should! And if you do...then I should be here too.
I had a lot of fun having adventures with Vince and Re-l. It was really great, you know? But living here with you is fun, too. So if I stay, you can keep on living just like this, and then my reason for existing will be for you. That would be better, don't you think, papa?
no subject
What if I decide to not go home, but to no longer stay on the island? Would you want to come with me to wherever we may end up? I can't promise it will be the same as Daedalus and Re-l.
