So, darlings.

A couple of things:

Firstly, I'm wondering what people have against one of the oldest professions? Yes, yes, I understand how young I am, but really is that your only objection?

Secondly, I am looking for a hand to hand sparring partner. While my sword skills are impressive, I'm afraid that my hand to hand has gone to the way side. I find that... unacceptable.

[ Her beating had brought that home. But she's not mentioning that. She adjusts herself in front of the console, wearing that ridiculously fluffy robe that she loves. Of course it's white. ]

So, darlings. Anyone willing to step up and answer either of those?

[ Here's a face you haven't seen on the consoles in a while, Keeliai. In fact, it's been about 15 months, and he's looking (if you can see him) plain gobsmacked. ]

Uh. Please tell me someone's been messing with the date feature on the consoles.

[ And then under his breath: ]

Or I'm in major trouble.

The Dreaming seems to have absconded with my sword...

[She sounds very unamused]

If anyone sees it or it has somehow wound up in your possession, let me know immediately.

[A rustling as if she means to end the message, but then...]

And don't touch it.

[ Despite the Dojo's mostly-fixed state following the hurricane, it hasn't been opened since, and today Bakura's elected to at least make that official. ]

The Jade Dojo will be staying closed for the rest of this month. If that's inconvenient... I really don't care.

[ Contrary to the indifferent words, he doesn't seem angry or even annoyed at anything, certainly not to the level of closing the doors for a while. ]

There are a few other places you can use in the meantime.

[ The console displays the addresses for two other gym-like establishments -- one in the Fire Sector and one in Earth -- that are kedan-run and while both smaller than the Dojo, are certainly serviceable. ]

[In her whirlwind of a return, it's a while before Marinette finds herself a place to access the network. Before she does anything else, she scans through the records and very quickly she finds what she needed to. Nothing she wanted to see, but... there it was. Her emotions are all over the place. In her own little rush, she probably doesn't seem okay herself.]

Uh-- oh! Hey everyone!

[Marinette waves quickly at the screen, smiling awkwardly.]

Ugh. So... I'm okay. Just in case anyone was worried-- not that I think anyone was really worried, I just...

[Breathe, Marinette.]

Sorry, this is just all kind of crazy. I can't believe I just disappeared like that. But, uh-- I'm back?

[That probably has to be the worst reunion speech of all time. Seriously. But for the next part she has to dig into some of that Ladybug strength that tended to elude her in her everyday life.]

And Adrien!!! If you can hear this-- [She huffs. Wait for it...] If you were trying to forget me, I swear to god I'll never forgive you.

[Liar. But she is mad. With good reason, in her humble opinion!]

[Good day, fellow turtle dwellers.]

[Or not so good, in poor Aya's case. It would seem the recent illnesses that have been going around are not carbon-based life form exclusive; her construct skin was pale and even occasionally flickered. She appeared drained of energy, and yet maintained a pleasant smile that indicating her weariness did not bring her pain.]

First, I must ask you forgive my physical appearance at this time. I can assure you, extensive internal and external tests have concluded that I am of no danger to other life forms, and will regain maximum processing capacity within another twelve hours' standby mode.

[In case anyone was worried]

Second...I have been spending much of my recent time scanning through a variety of texts made available to me in order to catalogue the written language, and have noted an interesting pattern.

Tales that are written by the same individual who are also the primary character are simultaneously more intimate in details, which allows for more insight, and yet...not all details provided appear to align with reasonable standards of logic and reason. Whereas tales written by an individual who is not the primary character are vaguer in certain details, and yet come across via a more objective, realistic narrative. And yet they are both quite amusing to read.

I am interested if this is a pattern others have noticed in their literary pursuits, both in this World and their own.

[Valdis appears on the screen, the picture of calm, seemingly in complete control of herself despite the chaos going on outside.]

The KPD is declaring a state of emergency and I have dispatched officers to all sectors to help in any way they can.

[The force wasn't huge, but they would do the best they could]

In addition, those needing shelter can come to the Department Headquarters. It wasn't severely damaged in the storm and we will accommodate as many as we can.

[She already had a few people gathering blankets and other items that they might need.]

If anyone needs me, I'll be moving around the sectors helping move debris and running search and rescue, but I'll be in contact with my officers so you can call me through them or on a foreigner radio.

[Hound form was very useful in such circumstances.]

So, um, wow...

This is going sound incredibly stupid on both counts, but would anyone mind lending me some advice on a couple of things? It's nothing really personal, it's just I'm having a little trouble with a couple of small things. (A breath, calm yourself, calm yourself.) Okay, so for starters... I need to look for a job. I used to work at the cat cafe, but that's gone now I think. So, I was thinking of something that I would like to do. And I kind of think I wanted to start a business again. I used to do that. A scooter rental shop in my own world and in another place I was at I ran a consignment shop...

I think if I was going to do that again, I would want to start a bakery or something like that...

(She might even be smiling based on her tone of voice now.)

What kinds of things would you want to see sold? How much do you think I should charge? Should I think about doing something else? What's setting up something like that going to take? What am I missing here...

(Oh, right. She has to ask about this other thing too.)

And now for the second part...

Does anyone know how to build those really cool, big pillow forts? I thought it would be something fun, but I'm having trouble even keeping this little tiny fort upright.

[Network: video;]

( A blonde haired woman appears and fiddles with the settings for a moment when she deems things to be "good enough" - mumbled in rapid German, of course - then she flashes a smile, though it looks almost sheepish, apologetic.)

Uh, let's see where to start, where to start...

(A few moments of silence pass before she just sighs and she looks down slightly. If anyone is looking closely enough she might be a very slight shade of pink. She finds herself tucking a strand of long curly blonde hair behind her ear and she glances back up.)

Well, I guess now's the time where I'm supposed to say something like "It's been a while" or " Hey! It's me, Marie" but neither of them seem to feel all that right to use right now. (Marie pauses again.) Oh, right. So, I guess it's easy to tell that I've been here before. It wasn't for very long, but....

(She frowns and looks downward.)

I have to say this, OK? But, I don't think I did a good job at trying to get along when I was here last.

(She gives no reasons as for "why", she appears to be trying to think about it but either turns up nothing in particular to mention or nothing that she feels won't bore anyone listening into a stupor, so instead she settles to shrug and try to chuckle, though it comes out a bit nervously.)

So, um, I guess what I'm trying to say is "Sorry" ... I'll try to do better this time around.

(She cautiously switches over to "private, text" to her old housemates and sends,) So, is there still room for one more?
