[The chaos that has been going on in Death City is heard in the back ground, and from the way the communicator keeps shaking it could only be assumed that Aqua's on the move as she makes this post.]

Does anyone know how--

[And suddenly she stops talking, and if one listens carefully, you'll notice that she's stopped moving as well. The sounds of screaming and everything else that's going on around her makes her own silence all the more disconcerting.]

[After a long period of silence.]

...Ven?

[Her voice is soft, like she's afraid if she spoke to loudly whatever she was talking to would disappear it was followed by another period of silence, this one much shorter, and broken when a loud 'crack' that came from the communicator hitting the ground sounded.]

...this is...



{OOC: Post happens at the same time as this. In short: Aqua ended up in an illusion when she accidentally passed within range of Rise's ability. Even if your characters reply, she probably won't be responding directly to them,, but since the communicator is still on it'll pick up on what she's saying...at least, until the illusion's over anyway.}

[ The video feed flicks on to show...a dimly lit room? Empty room? But no, there's the distinct sound of footsteps, someone pacing.

After a moment Allen sits down in front of the communicator looking confused. He doesn't say anything either, just staring at it like he's expecting someone to stare back at him. His intentions were to see if anyone needed help but that doesn't seem to be on his mind anymore.

Just. Staring.

His gaze darts aside distractedly a few times and settles on the communicator again finally. He leans forward as if he's going to turn it off, maybe apologise for the senseless post but--

He stops. Allen draws his hand back as if to craddle the viewer with his hand, mimicking someone else. He smiles and finally shuts the video off. ]

[this would have gone up sooner, but Karkat stumbled on a badly hurt Terezi and had to get her to the clinic. He started typing this on the way to get Sollux.]

GET INSIDE, ALL OF YOU. NOW.

I DON'T GIVE A BOILED FUCKING FROND IF YOU SCORED A PILLOWCASE FULL OF GOLD BARS DURING HUMAN HALLOWEEN, DROP IT AND GET OFF THE GODDAMN STREET!

I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON, BUT PEOPLE ARE GOING BATSHIT AND ATTACKING EACH OTHER. ASSHOLES DROPPING LEFT AND RIGHT LIKE CULLED WIGGLERS. GET TO YOUR HIVES IF YOU CAN, OR INTO THE NEAREST SAFE BUILDING IF YOU CAN'T, AND THEN REPORT IN. LET ME KNOW WHERE YOU FUCKERS ARE AND WHETHER OR NOT I NEED TO COME FIND YOU.

((OOC: This would have gone up sooner, but I was out of town all week. Sorry! Also if your characters are hurt or mad feel free to have them pop in later.))

[Well, this is the first time in a long time that Cheshire bothered to make his own video post. He had even set it up so that the camera got a full-body shot of him standing, looking like he had a very important announcement to make. Even though his fur is still short and stubbly from his punishment for aiding Vriska, he stands up straight with a huge ear-to-ear grin on his face. Before speaking, he raises his paw and clears his throat.]

The queen of spades
is on a heart's crusade
because a troll of green
doth please the queen!

[And with that grand announcement, he closes the feed and waits to hear his meister coming to attempt to skin him. Right from jail.

Good thing she has no network access, right?]

[The vocal feed is mostly a rush of static and what could be wind. There is also the occasional sound of breathing between the static bursts and crackle of the communicator trying to maintain the connection.]

[Another burst of static and the next words are very difficult to hear beyond the static blasting] No help re--red -et.

[The rest of the report is just a fuzzy blurring of static before it trails off as the communicator either moves out of range or out of battery power.]

[Clovis holds his communicator as he tries to keep it from shaking in his hands. The news of what has happened, he feels he should ask if everyone is really all right. His own sense of--

Setting the communicator down, he can't think of how to word what it is that he wishes without sounded so panicked. The momentary fear that he and others may be kidnapped once more. There is a sharp scream that hardly sounds human and silence afterward.

A golden-colored cat hops up to the communicator then. Blue eyes focus on the screen as the tail swishes back and forth. Another soft meow before the head lowers -- apologetic and ashamed for being unable to control his emotions and forcing his change.]

[daddyscythe]

[This here is a tired, pale, and somewhat banged up Spirit appearing on the screen. The backdrop for this post seems to be the Death room in Shibusen -- blue skies, clouds, graveyard crosses.]

Death City has just suffered a witch attack from known Witch Eruka, the Werewolf Free, and the Deathscythe Giriko. The people who had snake tails on them -- our people have found the Witch Medusa's snake familiars in their bodies. Stein is going around right now purging them from the victims. Please don't get in his way.

[And then he appears a little frustrated, rubbing roughly at a bruise on his jaw.] The witches planned this well. They took Adachi from the chambers inside Shibusen. If you don't know who he is, Adachi used to be one of the guests who became a kishin months ago. We sealed him up here and used his energy to fuel the barrier that keeps most witches and the madness wavelength out. The madness wavelength came from the sudden separation of Adachi from the barrier.

You might have noticed that we have a new barrier up. [Gestures vaguely around him.] This one isn't strong enough to hold the witches back, but it can deal with the madness wavelength. Death the Kid is fueling it right now. [Pause] Which means that starting today, Kid can't leave Death City until we find another energy source.

This also means that we'll be relying on our own technicians and the Watch more to keep the city protected. [And here, he looks visibly agitated.] Thank you. To the ones who aren't injured, we'd appreciate it if you helped everyone bring the wounded to the clinics. And... help remove the dead from the streets. A large number of our residents were injured and killed this night.

The other Deathscythes have been called back from their own bases. They should be here soon.

Um... um. Keep your lanterns for tomorrow night, all right? [blips out]
