Given the current changes evident in the city I would like to make it known that the Midnight Hotel will remain open to Foreigners for a nominal fee or a trade of services. Its wards are functioning normally and the rules apply as usual.

Entrances may be found at the following locations.

[He reads out, slow enough for people to take notes, the address for the six entrances, including the new one in Central.]

Thank you.

[Some days after waking up and exploring the new Keeliai, Ryou decides to ask something that's been bothering him.]

Does anybody know where Bakura-san went? I tried calling him a few times, but he hasn't answered, and I haven't seen him since we woke up. Yin-chan's really far away too, I can't communicate with her at all. Is it the same for the other turtle children?

...I know she's okay, but... N-nevermind. [She must think he abandoned her. He felt awful.] That's all, I guess.

[It really doesn't sound like that's all, but he doesn't seem to want to say anything else. If Yin-chan was beyond his power to contact, he could at least ease some of his worries and figure out where the other Bakura went, and why he had the Ring.]

Thank you. [He ends the feed.]

Good afternoon, everyone. [Ryou bows his head, but he lacks his usual smile. In place of it is nothing but slightly nervous determination. He knows it's not the brightest idea to be using the network for this, but it's the only way he knows how to contact a lot of people, and fast.]

I have something that might help us. [He pulls a map up to the screen for a moment, he only shows off a small corner but it's clearly of the under the shell.] I have this map and access to the diorama that I built for Wreath-san, along with the notes he wrote on it. It covers the entire top of the shell, as well as the tunnels underneath it. I know pretty much everything from memory too.

Just contact me and I'll take you to it. I want to help in any way I can.

Hey, anyone read the native language around here? There's some writing from the castle that needs looking at. And no, I'm not paying you. I stuck my neck out to go find this for free, you should be happy to sit at your desk and take five minutes to read it for the same price.

Everyone,

I've come across some information that you all need to know. However, I do not trust this network to be a stable line of communication.

Give me a location and I'll meet with you.

Let me know.

[ Bakura doesn't seem like a person who just lost a hatchling turtle. There's no evidence of lack of sleep or absence of focus... if anything, the thief looks equal parts busy and, as usual, antagonistic. ]

It's about time this place got interesting once again.

Has anyone bothered to ask the kedan whether they're happy to be out from under the yoke of tyrants? Other than that of the Foreigners, of course. Eshai at least had some sat-khert ib... but Evandau was just a waste of breath.

Though I suppose if we're trying for the trifecta of terrible rulers, we could always crown Malic--

[ Before he completes the name, jagged static begins to creep along the corners of the console screen that is visible to he and the viewers alike. Bakura stops, studying it for a moment. Then a sly grin appears and he speaks again, though this time it doesn't seem to be addressed to the Foreigners listening to the broadcast. ]

Hm, I knew you hadn't gone very far. What do we get if we guess where you really are?

[ The video feed opens with not one Bakura but two, the first standing central to the screen and the other offset to the side and whose nervous posture indicates he's still trying to slide even farther away. Separately it would be easy to call them identical but side by side, there are differences; slight but present. The voice is the biggest giveaway though, as Bakura's bears almost nothing of Ryou's accent. ]

Pay attention:

There are, as you can see, actually two of us. I'm the one who thinks you're all expendable idiots and treats you accordingly, not him. So taking your anger at me out on the new arrival here without listening to him merely proves my point.

For those of you whom I so easily fooled by calling myself "Ryou"? This is the real one, so go... make friends or something.

[ At that, Ryou offers an awkward wave at the console screen. ]

[ OOC: Takes place following this post. Replies will come from both/either of them, unless specifically marked private to one or the other. If anyone wishes to query Emily-Helen about this via their hatchling, she will confirm there are indeed two! If a little confused about why they're very similar. ]

Hello! [The video opens up to a nice shot of Ryou's smiling face, and he's even waving. He seems a little nervous, but it's not enough to deter him from pressing on. After all, if he's going to be stuck here long term he might as well get to know people.]

My name's Bakura Ryou, and I've been here fooor...about a week and a half. This only my second time using the network though, so it's nice to meet you all! I don't usually use things like this, but it's kind of convenient, huh?

[He's quite now, looking thoughtful and worried again. It's a few seconds before he starts up again.]

I enjoy playing games with my friends and cooking... I'm not sure why I was brought here though, because I don't think I'll be much help. The only wars I've fought in were imaginary.

[Ryou nervously fidgets, rubbing the back of his head. There's another awkward silence.]

Speaking of, I bought some tabletop games at the market, but I can't read the directions... Would anybody be able to translate them for me? I wouldn't mind paying for the trouble, since I know it's a lot to ask. [And a lot in general. The directions were quite a few pages long.]

[You know... getting use to all of that technology that keeps cropping up back home is one thing, but this is ridiculous. Everything was explained to him, and he knew the basics but... Tonraq still fumbles a bit with the console. A deep frown on his face as he does so, which shows when he finally activates the video feed.

He then blinks once upon realizing that its broadcasting. Then, clearing his throat, he begins to speak in that deep voice of his.]

I am Chief Tonraq of the Southern Water Tribe, and I just recently arrived.

[This is hardly the best time for him to be here, but it looks like he has to deal with it.]

I've been told that others from my world are also here. I don't suppose any of you would know my daughter, Korra.
