tevinteraltus[The man who appears on the video feed is rather dashing, calculatedly so, with high chiseled cheekbones, a meticulously groomed mustache, oiled and stylish hair, and a pleasant if playful smile on his full lips and glittering in his olive eyes.]
Isn't this a rather direct introduction? "Welcome to your new home beneath an ocean, Dorian! Enjoy traipsing through the memories of your new neighbors!" I suppose it does break the ice, doesn't it? There's nothing like a shared trauma to bring people together.
[He chuckles, a sultry and deep sound before shaking his head.]
If I might distract you from your chosen entertainment, how much of the introduction is to be believed? I'd like to avoid any novice bumbling, thank you. Also, by way of proper introduction, I am Dorian Pavus of Qarinus, by way most recently of the Riverview Quarantine. [He inclines his head.] Charmed, I'm sure.

gadaboutdetective(ooc: Both Rhy and Llewellyn will probably respond, add a filter to the tag title if you want one of them specifically instead of both! :D)
[The thing about Llewellyn was the fact that he had a habit of fidgeting and fussing. Specifically with his face, rubbing his cheek or behind his ear. Under normal circumstances this wouldn’t be a problem, but having a device that controlled your connection to a communication network implanted behind your ear made it a problem.
The fact that this hadn’t happened before was honestly a rather large stroke of luck, but that luck had inevitably run out.
The feed opens and there’s the sound of clinking plates as Llewellyn was dishing up some dinner, food he’d picked up at the market to share with his fiancé. He looks entirely relaxed for once, no hunched shoulders or furrowed brow. Just a genuine smile as he chatted softly with the man sitting across the table from him. Pretzel could be heard wandering under the table of the dome the three of them had just moved into, little claws clicking as he hoped for some attention and table scraps.]
What are they like where you’re from? [A pause as he realized he might need to specify, his penchant for just saying things without prior reference.] Mm... Weddings, I mean. Are there any special traditions that you would like?
I’m rather fond of the tradition of cake from my world, the whole uh— reception with dinner and dancing is nice.
[Never mind the fact that Llewellyn didn’t know how to dance, and would address that anxiety at a later date.]
Oh my love.
[Rhy's voice has an amused edge to it, and he quite enjoys all of this planning they're starting with.]
Truth be told, I do not know the common traditions of Arnes. I'm a King, my beloved. My wedding at home would be a state affair. Balls leading up to it, parades, large meetings of the court. You'd be wrapped in your family colors until the day we were wedded, whereupon you'd be draped in the red and gold.
[He laughs, still pleased.]
Cake, absolutely. Dancing of course. But mostly, we should have food. Good food. And music.
[If there was one thing he appreciated about Rhy, it was the fact that the man understood the importance of good food as much as he did.]
Then cake and good food will be a must, I do wonder if they can make pretzels fancy...? [That’s said with a distracted tone. What? Pretzels are important!] I would say music certainly is a must too, if there’s going to be dancing...!
And I’m sure I can probably manage to find something nice to wear in the appropriate colours, dear.
[After all, he likes to dress up and Rhy had mentioned wanting to see him in red and gold before... Yes, he liked that idea. Absentmindedly he rubbed behind his ear again with a ridiculously pleased expression, and the feed abruptly cut off.]

Accidental video: The.Otter
Dec. 19th, 2020 12:26 amof_bokthersa[The feed starts with a very judgmental looking elf with a bunch of indecent polaroid pictures of Alec laid out in front of it. The feeling from the one accidentally showing the feed is annoyed, but also rather amused by the whole thing.]
I don’t see what reason you have to be cross about it. Firstly, Alec posed for those. Second, I don’t need to justify myself to a prudish magical doll. I’m not even sure who’s doll you are right now.
Now put them back before he comes in here and sees you’ve pulled them out.
[The speaker waves his gloved hand and turns around, making his way into the kitchen.]

Oct. 14th, 2020 08:58 amstrengthfound[ A young girl is sat on the bed; brows furrowed in concentration. Her eyes dart around the room, as if she’s nervous, and it seems like she doesn’t quite realise that the video has started for a few seconds. ]
[ When she does, her eyes widen in surprise and she hurriedly opens her mouth to speak. ]
Umm… Hello! My name is Satoko Houjou… is this working…?
[ It’s clear both from her appearance and the sound of her voice that she’s very young. But in spite of the… strangeness of her situation, Satoko seems fairly composed, and a small smile even stretches across her face as she continues to talk. It’s a little hesitant, though. ]
I’m not really sure what’s going on, but it’s very nice to meet all of you! I don’t suppose that any of you know more about this place than I do?

Jul. 12th, 2020 07:36 pmprodigalvampire[The face that graces the screen is of a man with long, angular features, deep gray eyes, long, curling black hair, and a smile so brilliantly white, it's near perfect.
That's obvious because he's smiling charmingly when the feed begins.]
Hey there, new neighbors.
[He leans back on the sofa in the dome from which he's broadcasting, a set of red-lensed sunglasses clipped in the front of his dress shirt, which is white and unbuttoned enough to make it very clear his pale and well-muscled chest is not dusted with hair.]
I know I could go back through this thing and find out a lot, but where's the fun in that? Give me your local flavor. Tell you what, we'll start out easy: what's there to do around the world's most exotic and exclusive underwater resort?

May. 7th, 2020 07:58 pmjondrette[A young woman appears. Her long, dark hair is tangled and soaking wet, hanging down in front of her haggard face. Her age is hard to pin down, but it’s clear that she’s seen better days. And worse days, for that matter.]
There is rain that falls from a pipe here!
[This was a fact she’d learned with a shriek when she’d decided to play ‘what does this knob do’ in her room.
Her face lights up when she speaks, though, her accent clearly French.]
First it scalded, then when I tried to turn it off it became incredibly cold! [She giggles though, a rather ugly sound, and moves over to flop down on her bed melodramatically. On her right hand, visible as she gets comfortable, a bright red circular scar can be seen.] And such a bed! Have you ever seen such a bed before?
[She exhales, relaxing into the mattress.]
If this is heaven, I believe I am in the wrong place.

11calls[Alex has absolutely been dreading this since the entire thing started, and right now she's in her office again, but the merchant dome is big and she's not been able to get out of it in order to avoid doing it. She doesn't sound angry, she just sounds like she's hurting and exhausted.]
Everyone here thinks I'm nice and a good person, and I try to be. But back home I did a lot of really stupid things without thinking through any of the consequences. I started with a story and wanting an interview and then I was my normal frustrating self and pushed through and did... A lot of things I regret, honestly. I hurt people I love. I kind of lost my mind for a while. I definitely lost my professional ethics and when this is all done, I'm probably not going to be able to be a reporter anymore. If I still am back home, I guess.
Simon wanted to protect me because he believes I'm going to save the world. I mean I think, getting answers out of Simon was never the easiest thing I did. Or anyway at the very least he believes I'm one of the good things about it. All it did was end up getting him turned into the demon that he's been fighting being his entire life. Even then he still was trying to save me from Warren and everything else.
I try to be a good person, but my ambition and curiosity for the story have started chain events that probably have apocalyptic consequences for the entire world. My entire world, I guess. And I know that Richard and I are going to stop it. Somehow. I hope.
But there's still a small part of me that just wishes he'd take the choice I offered to run away from it. Even for a little while. Even though I know that there's no running from Warren and what I've done. And there's no way we're not going to Geneva. We're us and we need answers to all of this. But... I still wish we could.
[Alex just clicks off without saying anything else.]

Mar. 25th, 2020 12:10 amof_bokthersaAs a child, I was exiled. Most of my kind would kill themselves rather than be forced to live among the tir. Their lives are short, and they're so violent; you can lose those you love in the blink of an eye. Many times I wanted Ilior to take me, but I found purpose in a man who treated me as a son. He was everything to me, and I would do anything for him. I did do anything for him. Then I killed him. He was one of the people I loved the most, one I would die or kill for, and the fact of it haunts me.
THE DATING GAME (video; un: wallofsleep)
Mar. 22nd, 2020 08:05 pmcacophonishHey. Hi!
[ He smiles, bright and cheerful, as if his last post wasn't a horrible confession about ATTEMPTING TO SUMMON A DEMON ETC ETC. This is Jeff with a mission, a distraction, something to keep himself occupied. ]
Quick show of hands! Who's single?
[ HE'S ASKING FOR A FRIEND. No, really, he is! ]
I'm just, like, wondering about the dating pool here. No reason, just curious.
[ Subtle and stealthy. And Jeff's about to end the post, but before he can, he makes a face, wrinkles his nose, and blurts out: ]
You know the music video for 'Faith'? I've jerked off to George Michael in that more times than I can count. It's like my dick's trained to get hard as soon as I hear the first chord of the song.
[ Blink. He yelps: ]
FUCK!
[ END TRANSMISSION. ]

He also looks far less shrewd, less haunted. The mischief is still there, but he seems so much younger than he was before (it's all in his attitude, he looks physically the same)]
I've no idea where this is and I'm sure Mydri will scold me when I return home.
[He hops up on a ledge as if it's nothing, smirking as he does.]
But who would be up for a drinking contest?
