[Dorian appears on the screen, looking like he's been up all night. His brows are drown, and his breath rough. He turns around, as if something startled him, then faces the camera.]

Does ANYONE else hear that?

[Dorian appears on the screen. He looks BAD. Well, as bad as he's going to look. He looks like... well... he looks like he spent the night outside in Siren's Port. In reality, it was only about forty minutes before dawn that his dubious darkness-protection failed, helped by structural damaged inflicted by Grellzilla. And, he spent most of that time hiding. Still, that's enough.

He's clearly worse for wear.]

I need a place to stay.

I've got a job. I've got money.

Whatever is outside... got in last night. I-it's all gone. I need someone to help me retrieve what's left, too. Is there anyone available? I've got a job. I've got money. I can pay.

[Dorian appears on the com, with wild eyes and pale cheeks. The camera is not steady. Skittishly, his eyes dart around. A crashing sound is heard off of the screen, and the poor boy jumps at it terribly.]

What is this? WHAT IS THIS?

It looks like a storm but I've never seen a storm like...

WHAT IS THIS?!

Storms don't do to trains what I saw done to a drain. It was completely mutilated. I'm heading towards the city, near the baseball diamond. Can someone offer shelter?

My apologies to my employers but I won't be coming to work today.

[Dorian is smoothing his hair as the video starts. Then, he turns to the camera. His expression is worried.]

I'm afraid I have a problem. It appears I've got a darkness leak in my apartment. It's slight. It basically just looks like rot and mildew that gets much worse at night. It doesn't penetrate my closet door at this point. Still, I'd like to get it fixed.

Does anyone know someone who does this kind of work? Please?

I'm out of the hospital now. It's good to be back at the apartment.

I'm sorry if I gave anyone a fright. I'll be resuming work by the middle of the week, because I'm not back on my feet fully yet. I'm starting back at the school, and I'll be returning to my private clients as I'm able to take on a larger work load.

My apologies.

Also, does anyone know how to get rid of mildew in a closet? I think mine is getting worse.

[Dorian looks pale and wan]

I'm sorry. I'd just like to get word to my students and people I've been tutoring.

I'll be unavailable for a while. I appear to have gotten a touch of influenza and I don't want to give it to anyone else.

I'll contact you again when I am well.

I apologize for any trouble it caused.

[OOC: AS IF Dorian reads the network or the news feeds. He has no idea what's going on.]

I don't expect too many of you are interested. But, I've changed residence. The 'starter' apartments for 'newcomers' was just too, too beastly!

I found a place. It's not what I'm used to, but it's tolerable. The house is old by the standards of this place, but I found it quite comfortable. It's been divided into little flats, and I'm in the second floor in the back west corner.

I did see some rot in the corner of the closet last night, but when I woke up this morning it didn't look so bad. So, I'm not worried.

If anyone is interested in visiting, I'll give you directions. I'm in the Northwest side of sector four, about half a mile from sector 9, and I can walk to the seaside if I want to. And, I like being closer to the school.

Ta everyone!

[Dorian glares into the camera, long and hard.]

Someone has been in my room.

WHO'S BEEN IN MY ROOM? I'LL GO TO THE DAMN CONSTABLE IF I HAVE TOO! THIS IS A BLOODY OUTRAGE!

[He storms across the room, pacing in a circle. He kicks a chair which falls over.]

When I find out who... I'll...

[Feed cuts out.]

Damn and blast it all to hell.

Pardon my language. It's just that... well... circumstances being what they are, I've been forced to seek employment. What gentleman ever took a common job? But, needs must as the devil drives.

My going to task in order to pay the rent is bad enough. I'll tolerate that with as much dignity as I can muster. But, did that odious owner have to be such a bloody pain about reminding me to move out when I can, in order to make room for new newcomers?

Yes, yes, I'll move out next month. I don't want to stay at this blasted pit a moment longer than I need to. But, I barely got THIS much together. What do they expect from us?

Oh, and at the end of the day? I realized how much I dislike children.

[Dorian's smile once again brightens the network screen.]

Hello everyone,

I trust the day finds you well. Something in the news got my attention. I heard there was to be a poetry reading. I'm quite fond of poetry, myself.

Would anyone like to accompany me, as an escort?

[Dorian appears on the screen. His eyes are heavy, and he looks bleary. He blinks to focus his bright blue eyes onto the camera, and finally speaks.]

Well, bloody hell, it appears I've stuck my foot in it this time. I don't even know how I got here. I got some things to read that are explain it... bunch of nonsense if you ask me.

I read about someone who could take moving pictures, but I didn't believe it. Anyway, I was told that if I recorded this, others would be able to watch it.

Well, here it is. I'm told I'm stuck here and I can't go home. This place is intolerably strange, and I'm not quite sure how a lot of these devices in my room work.

If someone would be kind enough to give me a hand, I would be most grateful.

[He rubs the back of his neck, looking exhausted. The camera shift and he fumbles with the device, and it switches off.]
