[Yes, you read that right. An NPC has gotten hold of a radio handset, and is broadcasting a message to the Foreigners -- and hopefully only the Foreigners.

Specifically, for anyone in a position to recognise her voice, it's Meisheng, Yunxu's former right-hand who vanished after Milyn's death two months ago. She sounds harried and rushed, but otherwise confident and unafraid.]

Yunxu ordered the hit. Milyn poisoned Shudder. They've both done unconscionable things aside from that, and I've been -- well, keeping quiet for much too long.

[There's a pause.]

I can't for the life of me understand why anyone thought he was innocent.

[And another pause.]

I have twenty minutes. If you want to know more, I'll tell you all I can.

So, does anyone else find the never-ending winter annoying or is that just me?

[ Yes, he is kind of fed up with the constant cold, sleet, and snow. It's May for Pete's sake. ]

Ahem, besides that...[ a momentary pause-- he really doesn't want to be considered crazy for what he's about to say. ] did anyone else get visited by a small child that didn't say anything?

Private to Klaus

Sir, are you, uh, busy right now?

[The video begins with the camera focusing not on a face, but on a very fancy, wide-brimmed cavalier hat. People who've been in Keeliai for a while will likely recognize this guy instantly. For those who haven't had the pleasure--

Meet Rue. Also, meet the small, fat, beautifully-colored songbird sitting on top of Rue's hat. It's currently singing the tune to the Beatles song Hello, Goodbye.

Rue's high-pitched, nasal English accent sounds much more aggravated than his usual laissez-faire attitude.]

Ravel, your bird is back. Kindly come collect it before I feed it to the giant wolf.

[Rue's face hardly ever shows on the camera. When he does appear it's a flash of powdered skin or rouged lips. He's wearing a lilac-colored silk frock coat to go with the cavalier hat, and a shiny black brooch holds a decorative feather on the breast of the coat. Nothing about this guy looks modern.

In the corner of the feed, on the chair behind and just to the side of Rue in the Hotel, a fluffy white cat appears. The cat leaps up to the top of the chair and perches, eyes locked on the bird, ready to pounce. Neither Rue nor the bird seem to notice yet.]

((ooc: For those who haven't suffered through Rue yet: yes, this is Erskine. He is, however, quite good at disguising his voice, and his appearance is currently magically altered. Also Rue is horrible and I apologize in advance ~~but not really~~))

[Peridot sounds freaked.]

Help help help help help!!! The Shay has gotten violent and he was on the Morrigan but now he left and I don't know where he is!

This could be really, really bad!

[Bright and early on the morning of the first, the Midnight Hotel's janitor appears on the network. For those who haven't met him yet, Erskine could best be described as beautiful (albeit in a manly sort of way) and when he speaks he's very obviously Irish. More interestingly, perhaps, is the fact that when he appears on screen he's upside down. And floating in mid-air. He looks... mildly exasperated.]

Well then. Just when you think you've seen everything, you go and wake up on the bloody ceiling.

[Yep, that's an exasperated sigh right there.]

Heads up--or down, as the case may be--that the gravity's gone a bit pear-shaped in the Hotel. By which I mean everything and everyone is upside down. Because turning people into fluffy white bunny rabbits and making them all spout the truth just wasn't enough, right?

[He pauses and eyes the ceiling--which is down, for him--suspiciously.]

Unless this is all in my head. Which would make some degree of sense, I suppose, but I think I prefer the other explanation. The one that makes me not crazy. Or less crazy. I'll take less crazy, at this point.

[[ooc: APRIL FOOLS! Please see the Midnight Hotel's new log for all the details, but the gist (haha) of this prank is that Anton and Erskine have turned all the furniture onto the ceiling of the Hotel with sigils. Residents have the option of having their shoes--and thus themselves--harmlessly affected or not, depending on player preference. Feel free to encounter Erskine in person, but be prepared... if someone shows up and isn't upside down, he might try to use his air magic to float them up to the ceiling to perpetuate the prank a little longer ;)

And no, not everyone is floating in mid-air. Erskine is flying to reach the console :) ]]

Good evening, everyone. I understand that recent events and revelations have been... shocking, to say the least. I would hope that all of us will reserve any judgment until we have heard the whole story, including Doctor Milyn's side. And that is all I will say on that.

There is another matter that I need to bring to your attention, and one that is quite pressing.

We have been grounded a few weeks. As most of you are aware, the purpose of landing Tu Vishan here was to afford us more time in finding a way to awaken him. I believe a means may be found by utilizing the power of the Xunutane. However, before I go to the heads of the families and the Dexedi with this request, I had hoped to gain both information to see if it is a viable means, and also input and suggestions from other foreigners.

Now something most intriguing occurred while I was making my inquiries- my path crossed with a number of metalworkers who were researching the crystals that caused last month's truth compulsion. I agreed to work alongside them in a number of experiments - one of which involved setting active crystals alongside those that gave no readings. There was a brief reaction in which the "dead" stones gave off a bit of light and I...

[He hesitates here because it's not so much that it sounds absurd, but more he simply doesn't have the words to describe it.]

...I saw many things, all at once. The interiors of caves and homes. It was as though I had hundreds of eyes all in different places.

[To tell the truth, he was rather disoriented after the whole ordeal and needed to go sit down and have a headache.]

Needless to say, the other metalworkers did not share in this vision. I believe it came about due to my soul gem - a hypothesis the metalworkers agreed to be possible, though I would like to repeat the experiment with other foreigners to verify. They have kindly permitted me a secure facility as well as aid in writing up questions.

As I'm sure you've gathered, we would require volunteers for this. I am seeking those willing to sit through the same experiment as myself. I am also looking for people with psychic or magical capabilities for getting a read on things.

I will ask that no volunteers be under the age of eighteen for these experiments as I cannot guarantee there is no risk involved.

If you would prefer more discretion than speaking here, you can contact me privately on this frequency.

I thank you, and bid you all a good evening.

I have something to tell you all, and some of you might not believe me.

[Valdis' voice is hesitant, halting and uncertain]

There are very few of us left, it seems, who remember Malicant's reign or the atrocities committed by his followers. The death, the taint, the drugs and the suffering inflicted upon foreigner and Kedan alike is unknown to all of our newcomers. But this isn't just about that.

[A long pause, followed by an audible breath]

I have recently discovered that Milyn, the Cherrywood Healer, was involved with the Cultists. She reported directly to Daseng and created the drug known as Dust, as well as the base for Lucid.

[Another pause and then a low growl.]

She was our only ally among the Kedan when we first returned from the Dreaming, she aided us in defeating Malicant...but she also helped him wreak his havoc in the first place.

[Another growl]

I don't know about all of you, but I can't trust her anymore.

Not to be a spoilsport. I'm enjoying all the parties and naked frolicking as much as the next man, but...

...Is anyone else perturbed by the proximity of a chunk of what is clearly some manner of Nethecite?

Anyone? Or need I explain myself more thoroughly?

[The feed opens with a somewhat concerned and contemplative Obi-Wan Kenobi.]

My fellow Foreigners and the citizens of Keeliai, I have some news that I believe everyone here needs to be made aware of.

[His tone is most serious, and he hopes that it will get the attention of anyone who sees this video.]

I've recently felt a disturbance in the Force. For those of you who are unaware, the Force is an energy field that penetrates and binds all living things. In my galaxy, those who are sensitive to it's power are granted extraordinary abilities.

I do not know what this disturbance is, or where it is coming from, but I feel that it is significant. Thus I ask that everyone be mindful of themselves and their surroundings. If anyone notices anything unusual, I urge you to not keep it to yourself. Please either inform myself or make an announcement via the consoles.

omnivident

Oh, I got it to work.God, this is embarrassing.

[ clearing his throat, the brunet on screen fidgets, wondering what to say. They taught him a million things in the Welcome Center- why couldn't they give him a lesson on how to say "Hello, I'm new!" without feeling like an idiot?

Okay. He can do this. No biggie. Just everyone's first impression of you. ]

Err, I'm Leonardo. Leonardo Watch. I got out of the Welcome Center a while ago and well, um, does anyone know where I could try and stay? I know they said something about looking for a hotel but, uh, yeah.

[ That should be interpreted as: "I didn't understand their directions and now I'm lost." Even he has pride, alright? ] Also, thanks in advance!

hadthehighground

[Oh look, a certain Jedi is actually making a console post instead of stalking everyone else's.]

My apologies for not introducing myself here sooner. To those I haven't already met, my name is Obi-Wan Kenobi.

[Now that, that's done. He has a very important question.]

Does anyone know what 'grasshopper' means?
