[ For a couple of minutes, it doesn't seem like there's going to be a post. One minute, two, of nothing but dead air. Going on the third minute, however, there's a metallic click, the flick of a lighter, and a voice follows suit only seconds later.

It takes him a few tries to actually speak, the first yielding nothing but a heavy breath. A clearing of the throat is his second attempt, but at least by the third, he's fairly certain the tremble is well out of his voice.

Can't do anything for the heaviness, though. ]

For those who have not yet noticed, Nana-- [ Pausing, the unmistakable stutter of a catching throat. ]

My dau-- Nanako Dojima has been returned home.



My goddamned daught--

[ The recording ends abruptly, with the beginnings of a noise that might have been a bang, a fist meeting a tabletop. ]

Y'know, it's kind of hard to believe it's actually Christmas around here. Where I came from it was hardly over a month ago... I guess it's no surprise I can't really get into the spirit, huh? [ Well, that and a few other reasons, but other people don't need to know what she's dealt with over the last few days. ]

I was kind of wondering if Death City had any kind of Archery range, I know all about the shooting one, but guns aren't really me thing... I know I'm supposed to be the weapon and all, but even if it doesn't do me much good, I wouldn't wanna get rusty, y'know? It'd be a great way to get my mind of a few things, at the very least.

Oh, yeah... I was kind thinking maybe it's best I get a job, at least part time for right now. Honestly, I've never actually worked before so I'm not really sure where to even start... [ She trails off in a way that suggests she's open for ideas. Just... not the maid cafe. Srsly. ]

[Jules had been half-ready to mention on the network that Nanako had left, but a look at what else had already been said meant that, thankfully, he wouldn't have to. Right now, he's not entirely convinced that he'd be able to announce such a thing without breaking into tears, and that wouldn't exactly do wonders for his reputation.

Being able to avoid the subject, however, is very helpful in allowing him to make this strictly business, firm and unemotional. Just like at home. He hasn't missed it.]

If I've made any plans in the next few days, I'm afraid I'll have to cancel. Various circumstances have left things a bit shooken up.

[Is he seeking comfort in such a public forum? In a way; he'd very much appreciate somebody feeling sorry for him, but at the same time pity and doting would be unwelcome. Feelings are complicated like that.]

It's funny, there's not much difference in the knowledge that someone has left you and the knowledge that somebody has died. The effects are the same, even if the cause is not.

...I enjoyed the festival, thank you to everyone who spent time with u-- [Is there an "us" anymore?] with us.

[ooc: As always, action tags are welcome for anybody who'd be in his apartment.]

......Looks like Chris went home too. I can't find him anywhere. So it's just me now from home. Again..... So, uh, if anyone was friends with him or wanting to partner with him or something, I think he went home.

Ah, anyway, I hope everyone had fun at the festival! Naruto, Yuuri, Seimei, I've got presents, but this Christmas thing is a few days away still, right?

[She has it on video for once, though she's not really looking at her screen]

And people said I couldn't place. Take that, you pie-eating newbies! You're looking at third place, right here!

[She grins, then holds up her movie tickets and vouchers for Dorisa]

Also, anybody want these? I don't do the whole 'romantic dinner' scene, and movies kinda don't do anything for me.

It seems as though both Suzaku Kururugi and Lelouch vi Britannia are gone. Returned home, I believe. No, that is not what I believe ... it is obviously what had happened.

[Ah, how should he feel in this moment? He was unable to patch up anything between his brother. He couldn't say that he was not still afraid of him in some small sense, even though he loved him still.]

Still, as his older brother, it is my duty to handle anything that he may have left unfinished. So, if there is something that he has promised to any of you, please, let me know. [It is the least that he can do for his little brother. And pauses for a time.] The same will go for Suzaku Kururugi. [Since the two were friends and it is his way of honoring their friendship regardless of how he thought of it originally.

Yes, he should do his best to keep things together. It'd be shameful otherwise.]

Thank you all for your time.

It's getting colder... But I doubt it will snow in the desert...

...

Christmas, it's a time for merry making, isn't it? And yet I see so much grief. I suppose it's like that everywhere. Life doesn't wait for anyone, regardless of the time of year... Still, that doesn't mean we shouldn't try to enjoy ourselves.

The festival, it was guest run, wasn't it? Everyone involved, you did a wonderful job.




... [there's a long pause, wherein there's the sound of a page turning, and when Choushiro speaks again the slightly distracted, almost wistfulness in his voice is replaced by quiet intent.]


Has anyone else read the paper today?

[Masaru is grinning at the camera in the pre-dawn hours, standing outside the Casualty Communal, wrapped up in a huuuuge red-orange homemade muffler that looks like it's eatting him (probably bought from the festival). Little white puffs of breath escape it as he talks all excitedly]

Soooo, I haven't told very many people about it yet, but me and Tavros are partners now! He's moving in with me into me and Armstrong's old place today!

[His expression gets a little more somber]

Thank you, Roy, Dojima-san, for taking care of me for so long... but with Nanako-chan going home... I doubt you need another kid running around right now.

[He cheers right back up, flushed red with excitement]

I didn't end up winning any contests, but I had a lot of fun at the festival. Even if Toph beat me in the pie eating... [grrrr]

Anyway, guess that's all I wanted to announce. Night!

[Filtered to Karkat]

...actually, can I talk to you Karkat? [that earlier blush of excitment? Yeah with his current expression the truth is more evident: embarrassment and worry]

Listen up, everyone! This is really important! Never ever let the screw guy help you find your Meister ability! He'll only attack you and hurt you! Mr. Spirit, if you see this, I don't think you should let him do any kind of training ever again! If I have to, I'll even make an official complaint! ... There is a way to make an official complaint, right?

Well, I guess it did kind of work though. But it still hurt and that guy it seriously creepy!

It's also really important that I find a partner soon! At least, that's what that guy said... I can heal with my ability, kind of like back home! Only not exactly like back home and I need a weapon and um... I forget what else, but it had something to do with resonating in a group!

[After having viewed and reviewed the surveillance footage during the festival and finding a few interesting things he had most certainly not expected, Near decides to wait a few hours until things calm down enough for it to be acceptable to talk to the two people involved.

Not that he usually cares about what's acceptable or not, of course.

He records a different message for Sollux and Matt-- managing to keep a very neutral tone of voice through it all-- but even though each filter is different, both can be hackable by Mello.]
