[The feed comes in from somewhere in the city during the Darkness. But what comes in isn't a face at first-- it's the city's deteriorating facade in front of the user. And it's obvious that she is running. Her breath comes out in pants.

After a moment, she turns the camera around. she's masked, her blood-red eyes wide behind the lace that concealed her identity to some extent.]

They're... too fast!

[It's clear that Amy's enhanced speed has probably run out already. She's clearly running for her life and from what...?

Rotgut kittens. Packs of them. All running after her at top speed. This was not going to be pretty.]

Help!

[For once, she has raised her voice in a cry-- and the very moment she does, the communicator goes flying as some of the cats catch her leg. There's a glimpse of her pulling out Albion-- but that is all as the NV crashes to the ground and the feed turns static.]

Hello, everyone. I hope you're all doing well. Sorry for not checking in for a while, things have been...rather hectic.

[And he looks harried as hell to prove it. Wedding planning is hard okay especially when it's in the middle of some time travel bullshit. Have a sweet smile, though.]

Most of you are already aware, but if not-- Blaine and I have our wedding scheduled for February the 22nd at four o'clock, with the reception at the Luxe immediately following. Those invited will be receiving formal invitations with details any day now. I know there's been a lot going on lately, but... I really hope you'll all attend.

[A breath, and he really sounds stressed now.] And I know the invitations are a bit late coming, but I wanted them to be on separate stock than the save-the-dates, but it took me forever to find the right ones and have enough copies made, and I wanted to use a specific typecase as well which also took forever to pick out... [He rambles on, obviously nervous.]

I'm sorry. I've organized so many weddings, just not--my wedding. My. Wedding. [And he just rests his cheeks in his hands, taking a deep breath, looking overwhelmed.] Oh god...

[she feels foolish for being captured. Of course she is grateful for the rescue, but the fact that it was needed at all makes her realize just how much she's been neglecting training]

Now that we are back in the port, I wonder if there are any swordsmen willing to teach me their skills? I am a willing student and will learn quickly.

[private to Chris Halliwell]
I have heard of this beverage called "coffee" but have never tried it. Would you like to accompany me as I do so?

[ Here's William T. Spears. He hasn't been around all that much lately. Seems that with the majority of his coworkers returning home, he has reverted to his old reclusive ways. ]

As I am sure a few of you have noticed, Grell Sutcliff is no longer in Port. He is not dead this time. His NV is disconnected so I am certain he has been sent home.

[ There's no sadness in his voice. Why? Because the point of this post is not to grieve. It's a business post. And there's no emotion necessary for that. ]

Since he is no longer here, I am looking to sell his photography studio, as well as all of the photography equipment contained there in. The studio is located in Sector 4, is in excellent condition and is fairly well equipped.

[ Hey all you past customers who got their pictures (perhaps nude ones?) taken by the mild mannered "Eric Sligby"... yeah that photographer wasn't who you thought he was. ]

I will also consider renting the lot.

Please contact me with your offer or if you would like to set up arrangements to view the studio or the equipment.

Thank you.

[Sasuke is outside, shoulders tense, in a coat too thin for the weather with circles under his eyes. His eyes are dark, but narrowed in anger, muted by a shade of hopelessness.]

I paid my rent two months in advance.

[There is a flash of red. His mouth twitches into a snarl.] My bank account is frozen and the landlord of my apartment changed the locks. I don't care about my stuff, but I want access to my money and I need somewhere to sleep.

I'm so happy to be back in a time with raspberry hair gel.

infromthecold

[Someone's wearing a jacket and gloves they're not winter grade but anything is really to heavy for this heat. He's on the steps of the HoA just outside the inclosed porch.]

There's still a few hows for the Christmas trees to decided to come to life and attack like those turkeys did. I've heard of Christmas in July Seems we got an Indian Summer in December instead.
[He pauses for a few seconds to collect his thoughts]

I've been seeing posts where people have been getting depressed about not being away from home and friends. I get what it's like to lose someone near the holidays. I just want to say you should celebrate a bit. It's OK to take the night off. We're stuck on one strange island but we shouldn't let how crasy the world is take he holidays away from us. I guess that's all.

[It's then that something large and pink col ides with Bucky's shoulder and explods in a wave of water.]

What the hell? Anyone know if NVs are waterproof?
[The feed cuts out]

Merry Christmas everyone!

[It's Christmas Eve, and Alice is as excitable as ever. Well, even more so today, because CHRISTMAS.

Also, apparently even she has a weakness for bad Christmas sweaters. Just soak that sight in.]

So while you're all preparing your presents, or going about your day as normal if you don't celebrate, I've got a little announcement for you all!

New Year's Eve, I'll be hosting an open house party at my shop in Sector 2. Now, even though I'm hosting it there this isn't an affiliated event, so SERO affiliates are more than welcome to attend! Dress code is semi-formal, so if you stop by, dress your best.

[Private to Magneto and Jesse Pinkman]

I'm hoping you'll be able to make it, too.

[Have a sad little smile to damper down all that holiday cheer.]

hungryanhorny

[Faith leans back, doing her best to look utterly and completely casual.] Never actually had cash for Christmas before... sort of a new experience. Not sure whether I like it yet. Someone might actually expect gifts.

[Not that she's got a lot of friends to give them to, if she stops to think about it. She'd rather not think about it.]

Anyone wanna take a girl out for the holidays? Starting to think I could use a drink. Wanna relax a bit.

I've been here a while, but I guess there are a few things I still don't really know.

[It's Yosuke, Portians. He's learned to aim the camera on the NV too, so no nostril shots for you today. Try to forgive the facebook angles, okay? He thinks his head looks better from one side.

It doesn't do much to cover up the loud bellowing of something in the background, however.]

...Pardon me. Um, anyway, it turns out that I really like vegetables. A lot. And I could use a few barrels full of them, hopefully kind of-

[The sound of breaking glass, and more bellowing. Yosuke cringes a bit, and taps his chest, apparently still trying to pass this off as simple indigestion.]

-cheap. Thanks for any help you can provide.

Everyone's talking about winter like it's something to celebrate. [ She speaks flatly, not perturbed so much as perplexed. Her brow creases, and her lips flatten into a thin line. ] It's cold. Game hibernates or migrates. Food is harder to obtain. Not here, maybe, but -- what is it that makes winter so special for you? The people who are talking about buying gifts, about how they're sick for home... I can't remember a single winter that wasn't harsh in some way or another. Why treat it like a festival?

[Willow is in view of the camera. She's sat in a coffee shop looking a little sullen, her hands are being warmed by a delicious looking hot chocolate with all the marshmallows, whipped cream and chocolate sprinkles she managed to fit on the thing.

She sighs and stares into nothingness, before snapping out of it briefly and looking down at the camera.]

I... was wondering if anyone else was suffering from holiday blues?

[She wasn't sure why she was asking a vast audience of people she didn't know this question, but it seemed like a brilliant idea at the time.]

I kind of feel a little bit out of place being all down in the dumps. But I can't snap out of it. Not even chocolate has cured my problem.

[A phantom of a smile spreads across her lips, a joke from a long time ago.]

Does anyone have any suggestions?

paterelohim

[He doesn't know who saw Crowley outing him as God on the Network a couple weeks ago, or who saw him agree and admit it openly. But, you know, part of him kind of doesn't care. So there's that.

It's a simple video: Chuck sitting on his couch with a beautiful Christmas tree immediately in the background. It's decorated with blue lights and... what appears to be little bagels? It's topped with a star of David.]

So, guys, what are everyone's Christmas plans?

[He plucks a mini-bagel off the tree and bites into it, talking through his full mouth.]

I'm doing the Jewmas thing. I have to, right? I can't ignore my kid's birthday. It's rude.

I'm too old for this!

[has any of you heard a 24-year old man whine? because you're hearing one right now. Jack's wearing a newsboy cap and a jolly Christmas sweater, and he looks like he's in a tree of some sort.

Some might realize he's in the forest, in a tree that's fairly impossible to climb unless you're part monkey or something. He has a hand against a cheek, his nose is red, and he looks really miserable. Teenage-girl miserable. He lifts his hand and gingerly prods against a proud, majestic specimen of a pimple near his nose, and groans.]

I never got these before! Ugh. Does anyone know how to get rid of....this...without leaving a scar?

[When the video feed comes on, it's fixed on Lee Chaolan sitting behind a very modest desk-- a far cry from the finery he used to be surrounded with when he was with SERO. In fact, the place around him doesn't look like a technological firm at all. It looks a lot closer to a very simple... house.]

Good day, I'm proud to announce that my new company has finally set up shop. We are now Platinum Phoenix Enterprises. Like my old company, we value innovation, but due to the restrictions placed upon us, we are now looking to set our roots in new avenues.

Because we wish to explore new industries with our state as a True Neutral business, I am opening our doors to applicants with a wide range of specialties. The most important things we need are people with open minds and an endless font of fresh ideas. If you wish to join us, please feel free to get in touch with me-- Lee Chaolan.

[The video feed reveals a young girl, one with crimson colored eyes and two long, blonde twin tails tied up in black ribbons. She's dressed in an ornate dress of black, white, and red. In addition to that, she is wearing an extremely annoyed look on her face.

I had hoped to not be forced to use this device, but it seems this city is beyond even my ability to escape. It is quite troublesome, really. I've no time to waste lollygagging around a city as uncouth as this.

[Her voice is refined and cultured, the type that is used to talking down to others. While she looks young, the sound of her voice makes it more difficult to determine her actual age. Nothing about her mannerisms is remotely youthful.]

And yet it would seem I've little choice. I cannot return home, and I appear unable to simply hide myself away, so as loathsome as the idea is, I will have to be a part of what passes as 'society' here. I do not much look forward to it.

[Judging by the sound of her voice, she doesn't seem to think too much of what she's seen so far. A sigh escapes her lips.]

Those of you who I deem worthy of my time may call me Rachel Alucard. Those who I do not deem worthy of such shall be summarily ignored.

[So here's a Kurt looking much different than he has in the past few months. He's bright, energetic, and practically glowing. He looks just a touch guilty, though, as he focuses the camera on his face.]

Blaine's at work, but I just couldn't wait, I'm sorry--

[He holds up his hand and wiggles his finger, showing off his ring, which is now inset with brand new precious stones. He bounces up and down a little.] I'm engaged! We're engaged! Officially! [Finally.]

I'll be planning the wedding, of course, but I can't even think about it right now-- [He has tears in his eyes again. Seriously, he's been happy-crying on and off since last night.] I just can't. I'm too happy!

[He brushes a tear asway.] I'm just so happy.

It should be a good thing, should it not? For someone to return to the world in which they belong. They are going back to friends and family... We should be glad of that. Yet it is still painful to lose that person, because they are your dear friend.

I am glad for the friendships I have made here, however temporary they may be.

[The normally well groomed Strider appears to be a little on the dirty side today, as he logs onto the network and broadcasts.

His hair is flawless (as always) but there is some dirt on his face and clothes, he seems to have just caught his breath too.]

Okay, so. Making this a public request to see if there is anyone who can lend a bro a hand. I'm looking for some scraps. Metal, wires, copper wiring, motherboards, anything from old useless computers would be great actually, it doesn't have to be in working order is just for a hobby of mine.

[Bending the truth a little there, but he's not up to no good or anything!]

Also, Vantas, if you're around I'd like you to get in touch with me, its about those loans we discussed.

[Text/Private Unhackable to Dave]
Hey bro, I know you're sorted as far as having a place to live goes, but I'd really like you to come scope a place out with me. Its an idea Vantas threw at me and I think its a good plan. I've spotted a building I could transform into something worthy of calling a home already, just need a hand with some details of the property.
Hit me up when you're free bro.
