[Valdis looks tired, but more in an emotional way than anything else.]

Some of you may already know, but for those of you who don't. I am moving out of the Midnight Hotel. My friend, Wan, built a house in the Sky Sector, near the gardens, some time ago. That's where you will find me from now on. [A short laugh] I can't vouch for the cat though, he has a mind of his own.

[More solemn now]

The main reason for this is so I can be closer to the KPD and the Iron Circle, when it is completed. With that in mind, you may have noticed that I have not added anything to discussion regarding the Foreigner's Guild. This is because I have decided to join the Guild of Justice and Arbitration, [As was only fitting for the head of the KPD], and put the sponsorship of the KPD under its control.

It has come to my attention that the laws here are not always easy to uphold, [recent events had made that very, very clear]. But hopefully this guild system will be good for all of us.

annihilist

[This is so counter to everything Devin normally does, but there's no point in beating around the bush. Best to tell the truth and then let the chips fall where they may.]

It's not generally my custom to announce myself so formally, but it seems to be the norm around here, and I believe this will save me a great deal of time and energy. My name is Devin Parker, and I am a vampire. [He grins, revealing a slightly elongated set of canines to make his point.] If you're even remotely aware of any variety of my species, you're probably also aware that we need to consume blood to live. [There are stories about the essence-consuming ones, but none actually exist in his world.] Sadly, I'm no exception to this rule; however, I don't hurt people to get what I need, so you've no cause to worry that I'm going to jump out at you from a dark alleyway late at night. [The smirk turns a little wicked.] I can do that in daylight.

[He's joking. Probably.

Briefly, Devin's expression turns more serious.]

That said, I do still need what I need. Not often; and not in great quantities; and, if at all possible, not from the vein. Anyone willing to volunteer, I can provide further details.

[The vampire leans back in his chair, hands folded and smiling slyly again.]

Questions? Comments? Concerns?

[He's sure there will be many.]

[The feed flicks on. This is the first time Eliyen has shown her face - all of her contact with the Foreigners up until now has been via audio. She looks like what some would describe as a "tough old bird", or a martinet - someone who won't brook any nonsense.

And on that subject, she doesn't look particularly happy.]

This is Arbitrator Eliyen of the Guild of Justice and Arbitration.

There has been an increase in crime due to the recent Dust contamination. All crimes will be treated exactly the same as they would be without the influence of the Dust, both by Foreigners and kedan. Everyone would do well to look after each other.

We will not let an event such as this disrupt the city’s day-to-day life.

...though on that note, perhaps this occurred because your fractiousness was seen as a weakness. We cannot have any weak links in the chain of the city, because one vulnerability could harm us all.

Case in point.

[She will not be replying to any comments (she's a busy woman, after all), but feel free to talk amongst yourselves!]

ruinsprofessor

[Raine has spent much of her week attempting to handle several things at once, and as a result she looks both tired and slightly harried when she appears on video. All the same, there's something she hasn't handled which needs now to be outsourced.]

I'm looking for a Foreigner who arrived here a week or two ago. He's about a head taller than I am-- broad shoulders, auburn hair, carries a single longsword. His name is Kratos.

Should you see him, please don't try to apprehend or otherwise attack him. Simply inform him that I need to speak to him.

[She doesn't know why he's avoiding her. Although she has her suspicions, to confirm any of them would require talking to Kratos and finding out when he's from. Raine hesitates, then adds, very carefully:]

Depending on his point of origin, I may have some messages to relay to him from Lloyd.

...Thank you.

[And back to work. Perhaps this will bear fruit.]

consultantsdoctor

[One minute he'd been settled in bed for the night and the next he was outside being pelted by wind and rain. His first act was to pull out his pocketwatch and check it only to discover that it didn't connect to the network. Whatever network COMPASS had them all set up on, John did not have access to it though he could still get into the other apps that were provided on the otherworldly device. After approximately thirty minutes of wandering about in the freezing cold, John had found himself in the Welcome Center - armed with information and new items to help him make his way in this world.

Now's the time when he addresses the network.]

Good evening, my name is John Watson and I've just arrived to this world. I'm a former Army doctor and had been working in General Practice. It's not everyday you find yourself in a new world but I think I'm taking it fairly well. Though I am a bit curious if anyone is familiar with a ship named the Charon, of a city called Zelien or a company called COMPASS. It's fine if you haven't, I'm only curious.

[There, that's the fastest way to draw out anyone who might have been in that other world.]

Anyway, I'm sure there are hospitals and doctors around these parts if anyone happens to get sick or injured during this storm but if you're in need of patching up you can call me any time. Not entirely sure where I'll be staying as of yet but I'm here to help in any way I can.

Seeing as how I'm new here, I am searching for a job preferrably where I can continue my medical practice and would like to know about the conditions of each location. My skills may lie along the scientific side of things but I've no issue working alongside those who use magic in their healing practices.

Thanks for your time.

What do you do when you know there's something inside you that is monstrous, and nothing you can do to get rid of it?

Asking for a friend.

[When Conan opens the video feed, he simply looks tired. He hadn't ever gotten to know Avery well, despite living with him for some time. Hi sudden disappearance had been startling, even if Conan had been in Tushanshu long enough to know that people just left sometimes.

But Avery's disappearance had left Conan with a problem. His mind might have been 17, but he looked 7. And a seven-year-old could not hold a job or rent an apartment by themselves.]

So I don't know how many people have heard, but the cat cafe is gone now. Which means I don't have anywhere to stay any more.
