Liz, Kirika, Black*Star, stay in one room, alright? And I know this will be hard for you girls, but... I bet since Black*Star's full of hot air, he can keep the room at a reasonable temperature. [Har har. He's still got a sense of humor.] If not, Jacqueline's started a trash can fire.

But there are also enough blankets for everyone to layer up. I left most of my coats with you three. Keep Soul-cat bundled in some clothing as well, alright? I don't know how other animals are doing, save for that one girl's fish. I'm surprised it lived.

[There's a sigh.]

Soul, Maka, how are you two fairing? I'm bringing a few things over in a few.

You too, Nill, Jackie. Are you two keeping warm?

Is everyone keeping warm? Anyone who needs assistance, I have a... reliable source of fire if you need it. Just let me know and we'll try our best.


[[ooc: Jacqueline had an emergency chip removal yesterday, and is no longer ill. So she's glitchy as all hell but HEY, SHE STARTS FIRES, NATURALLY!!! so they're going to be making rounds. Some commentlogs and whatnot will probably have to wait for Jacqueline-mun to return, but.... yaaaay snow!]]

[Kid accidentally elbows it off of his nightstand. His feet run away from the screen, which slowly focuses to show him and the pot his flower is in. Not much of the actual plant is seen, but it doesn't look alive...

Kid squeaks softly.]

It wasn't a nightmare... my plant truly is this horrible...

[Another squeak, and then a soft sob.]

Why did I get stuck with such a horrible thing...? Oh, another apple.

[His feet step back for a moment, and Kid sighs in relief, then just sits down in front of his tree, staring at the apple. It's nice, and pretty symmetrical too. Either way, Kid's going to worship it for another hour or two.]

It... I...

There's a mutilated corpse in the alley near the stores on Ingles, not far from Brebo. It's... charred, burnt.

Who could have done this?

And... so close to Christmas...

BZZZZT!

[And on it goes, to video! Kid glares at the device for a second, then sets it down. It just happens to be propped on his desk.

And in view is a new, updated map of Discedo taped to the wall. That took the mun two days, and Kid took like around three months with a protractor and ruler and lots of pens and pencils and tracing and meticulously unnecessary perfectionist methods. He stole a good set of supplies from the wreckage of town hall before it exploded and went exploring, so it's in good condition. So you'd all better click that link, while Kid stares off-screen for a minute or two. He takes a step into view, and tilts his head to the left... then the right... but he's still staring in the direction of that really scribbly possessed lake.

After a second, he grabs his head dramatically.]

AAAH! WHO SCRIBBLED ON THE LAKE?! IN MARKER?!


[[ooc: there gais. Figured we needed some updating. And if anyone spots any more mistakes, feel free to point them out! Thanks~]]

...I guess zero is a symmetrical enough number. But it would have been nice if Patti stayed... She... and... Angel...

[He just goes silent. The private notes are Text.]

...this again? Really?

Here's hoping that Excalibur doesn't find me. Again.


[[ooc: YEAH RIGHT, KID. Comment logs welcome~]]

[Kid's holding his communicator, wearing his mask to the right side.] At least something good came out of Halloween. Unlike Black*Star's horrific pranks. [He looks annoyed for a moment, and soon shouts to the side:] They weren't funny, Black*Star! Not the feathers, not the dolls, none of it!

[He rolls his eyes and turns back.] And Patti made herself sick from overeating, but she'll be alright. [Sigh.] At least Kirika, Jackie and Maka had some sense of sanity this weekend.

[Then back to his communicator, and a smile forms. Soon, he changes the view so everyone can see his wonderful piece of art:]



It's so beautiful... I'm not sure I want to eat it. It's just... so beautiful, so...

Does anyone know where I could find two swords, by chance? Or is anyone capable of sculpting two for me? It would be greatly appreciated.


[Locked to Shibusen & Kirika & Nill & Jackie | Unhackable]

I'll be scarce for a few days. I have a bit of a... debt... to pay off, starting shortly after Halloween. Don't concern yourselves--

[And his breath hitches for a moment. He's silent for a few seconds, save for the shaky, almost pained, quiet exhale away from the communicator. After a moment, he just sighs.] I apologize. As I was saying, I'll have my communicator, so if you need me, feel free to ask for me.

[/lock]

[It starts off when Kid clears his throat.]

I would like to... extend my most sincere of apologies to everyone who happened to be caught in the unfortunate shooting between Kirika and I. It should have not happened... I am truly sorry for harming any of you.

Nill, Jackie... thank you both for housing me as I recovered.

[Kid's breathing sounds labored. He coughs something wet. Then pounding as he knocks on a door, and when he speaks, his voice comes out monotone and forced.]

Nill. Angel. Nill. Angel...

[He coughs again. His communicator soon starts slamming against the door. Sense? What is that? He just falls in the hallway, his back hitting the wall with a dull thud.]

Angel. Angel. Angel.

[Click.]


[[ooc: Kirika and Kid concluded their shoot-out! THANKS SO MUCH, GUYS! Everyone who got hurt, have fun nursing your injuries~]]

It's... really been...?

It's been one year since I arrived in Discedo.

Charming.


[[ooc: Been here a year, gais! \o/]]

[He thinks it's voice, but it's not like anything can be seen. Welcome to Box!Comm, Kid's home away from home, and the most symmetrical square box in Discedo!

...which he's hiding under. There's a slimmer of light above his head from the outside world, that illuminates the very top of his head... and that's basically it. Boxes are dark.]

Black*Star, Patti... Jacqueline? She is back, isn't she? Well. Kirika will be staying with us for a little, until we can find her a place to stay on her own. Please, don't run her off. And Kirika, if the spiky-haired one attempts anything, feel free to punch him.

[Soft yawn.] It's finally over... this forsaken fog, the battles, that illness... [He sighs softly.] So much has happened in these past few weeks. I think the Hospital's safe for now...

Perhaps in a little while, I can speak to one of the doctors? I simply cannot remain without my capabilities any longer.

Jacqueline, Maka, Patti... are you three alright? Chichi-Ue? DeathScythe... Professor? I noticed Tsubaki's gone as well...

Black*Star, where did you run off to? Let's head back.

...perhaps today wasn't the best day to take a stroll.

I need my chip out, this is infuriating.

BZZZZZZZZT!

[There's Kid, jumping uncomfortably. He almost drops the communicator, but just shakes his hand and keeps walking. Behind him, there's a glimpse of a white-clad, ghostly monster following him.

Kid just keeps walking. Another kind of moves past him, and soon two are following him. He grunts in annoyance--]

BZZZZZZT!

AAH!

[He drops the comm this time. Surrounding him are around five poes, and he glares as one comes closer, then moves back. Just what the hell are they doing?!

Trying to give him a group hug. Shinigami Poe-kun needs to remember his little brothers.]

Aah--what the--

GET OFFA MEEEE!

[If this could even be considered a hug. Kid has to wiggle his way free, sliding barely on screen so he can slip along the ground. He grabs his communicator...

And runs.]

TO FRIENDS AND FAMILY OF NILL:

It has recently come to my attention that her birthday is approaching. August 1st. That leaves us exactly one week to plan something fabulous for her.

I would like to throw her a party. A surprise party, if possible, to bring a bit more cheer to that sweet angel's world. Though I know for a fact that I cannot do this alone.

Therefore, we have some planning to do. I don't even know all of her friends, my word...

Well! I hear a person by the name of 'Yuui' is baking the cake?

[There's a bit of cardboard flapping, from this awesome solution and Kid begins speaking more calmly, though it sounds a tad echoed. Guess who has comfortably seated himself inside the box.]

One of my weapons has finally arrived. Liz... she's not a fan of monsters, ghosts, poes, or... well, much of which Discedo has to offer, but she's a strong person.

Tsubaki, Jacqueline, Chrona too... I think it's safe enough for you two to return.

Nill, Jackie, thank you.

[He sighs pleasantly.]

I love this box.

...so the rest of the building seems to be holding up, even though we lost the entire top floor. I still don't trust it.

[There's a bit of shuffling, and a small crash; he's roaming through their apartment and can't see much of anything, and promptly fell in the rubble.]

Black*Star! We need to find a support beam or something, or we're losing our ceiling completely... What horrible timing to redecorate. Flashlight... are those even here? Jackie--Nill's father Jackie (this is going to be so confusing)--do you have any flashlights? If not, could we have four, oddly even candles?

Maka, Soul, Chrona... are you guys alright? Physically, at least? [There's a sigh.] And DeathScythe... how are you feeling?

Chichi-Ue...?

Nill, angel... please tell me you're safe too...

[There's a long moment of silence as Kid stares quietly into the communicator. He looks... well, depressed is an euphemism. After the moment, he takes a breath.]

I would like to apologize to everyone I fought for the past few days.

The man from the cooking club--I don't know your name--but I would like to offer an extended apology for the injuries I caused you. I hope you are healing well... if there's anything I can do...

[He looks away another moment, then shuts his eyes.]

Black*Star... I understand if you wouldn't wish for me to stay in... the apartment--[And this hurts, because that was a very symmetrical apartment]--but... I... will repair what I damaged, if you would like.

Chichi-Ue... I...

[He can't bring himself to say anything else, and as he shuts his eyes tightly, he stops the transmission.]
