[Totally "hackable" as he has no idea how the device works and thus has no idea if he's talking to anyone in particular. Except Jenova Network "transmissions" which are only for the infected]

{Loz manages to get the damn thing to work the way its supposed to and he pops up on video as well as audio. He's still in the biodome, as he hasn't got a room.}
Uhhh. I guess this is on. I dunno how it works yet, really. And Yazoo isn't around right now, so I'm not going anywhere...Not supposed to go anywhere without him [sigh] I tend to get in trouble that way and I still have no clue what I'm doing here.

{{JENOVA NETWORK: Loz's brain is abuzz with discomfort, confusion and a little fear}}

Oh! Hey, uh...does somebody wanna tell me what um...this...stuff is?
[He dangles a piece of tinsel in front of the camera, or tries to anyway]
I woke up with it in my hair this morning. It's all over.
[camera pans, taking in Buddy's overzealous decorations, even in the expanse of the biodome]
I don't get it. I like the color though.It's really shiny and stuff.
[It is a chunk of silver tinsel]

{Her head leaning over her folded arms, Yuuki opened her eyes. It took a few blinks before she questioned where she was, pulling herself up a little using her arms. It seemed like she was only just awake, watching Aido leave the room. Frowning in confusion, she called out in a slightly panicked voice.}

Aido?

..Where-

Kaname-sama?

[ Somebody made it out to the biodome, but that somebody has passed out again, upper half sprawled out on a chess board. At least he's been up and about for a little while, but he has spent most of the week sleeping or in a half-asleep state. It doesn't look like the video will get interesting any time soon.

But then he lifts his head and blinks a few times, a pawn stuck to his face. It sticks there for another few moments after Kite rights himself, but then drops back down onto the board, clattering and rolling off. Kite rubs the distinctive indent in his tattooed cheek and picks the fallen piece up, setting it back in its rightful spot.

Kite takes the time to reset the board, but a few seemingly extra pieces get thrown into his backpack. They don't look standard, that's for sure, but they don't remain onscreen long enough to really identify. Yawning, Kite exchanges the strange chess pieces for his bottle of tequila. Then he notices the faciliberry and stares at it, looking startled when he realizes it's on. Again. ]

A-ah... I did not realize...

...does anyone want to share? It is probably unhealthy for one person to drink all of it.

[ Tired smile and a distracted gaze elsewhere. Where's that newly created life at? ...he should really be more attentive... ]

[[50% Unhackable to Tasuki and Gaara]]

Tell me what happened with Reishun, please. She's really upset and said you were mean to her. Just, fill me in, please?

*River is peering at something just to her left, off screen. The picture jostles a little as she speaks softly to herself.*

Standard radio- and videophonic communication device. No apparent brand. Not standard Core equipment.

*Looks directly into the camera, the hair half covering her face. She appears a mix between frightened, confused, and very very interested. In you.*

Tie a string to a tin can and see what you can hear. All through the vibrations.

*Speaks louder now.* Hello?

*A pause as she glances off screen and then back again, abruptly.*

Simon?

[button mashing is the only way Tasuki has of turning the stupid faciliberry on. Bandit from ancient China really has no idea what he's doing with the damn thing. A few key smashes later and the audio kicks on so you can hear him cussing the device out. It isn't until he finally gets the video rolling that he is certain it's on. Once the video kicks on he grins for a moment, proud of himself for successfully turning it on. The grin fades quickly though.]

Oi! Anyone seen Reishun? Little girl with purple hair runnin' around? She was mad at me an Kankuro yesterday an' she didn' come back ta the room las' night... Damn kid shouldn' be wanderin' around on her own.

[All that grumping is just to hide the fact that he's worried about her. Really worried but he isn't about to advertise that. Bandits don't get attached to troublesome little kids after all. But if you look close that wild hair is worse than usual and his eyes are a little bloodshot. Someone didn't sleep last night. He scowls at the device for another moment before jamming it in his pocket, still on. You get a view of the inside of his coat pocket until the feed times out.]

Rehearsal!

Everyone in Peter Pan, if you can make thh Rec Room for 7:00pm tonight that'd be great. That's characters from scene one and the entire chorus!

Let me know if you can make it!

Loves ya!

(he salutes) ,/i>

Emmett out!

[The video feed is shaky, and at first all you can see is someone's arms, full of paint and random craft supplies from the recroom. It eventually pans up to Neku's face, slightly exasperated and seemingly irritated at the fact that he's talking...to people.]


So uh... Anybody know where I can find more paint? There's gotta be more somewhere.


Joshua's room needs some remodeling. Lucky me, getting to help.

[He doesn't sound at all excited. Neku shrugs, then cuts the feed.]

[[ 50% Hackable, to Rufus ]]

Rufus? I hate to bug you, but... what should I be able to remember about Zack?

I've noticed quite a few of you carrying around weapons, which leads me to ask...

Are they your weapons from your home? If so, how did you retrieve them?

[her voice softens a bit, not necessarily regretfully, but thoughtfully] I would feel much less helpless here if I at least had my revolver with me... though I must admit the class on hand-to-hand combat was quite useful.

[and, once again, it raises back to normal volume. Her tone is conversational]

This week has been pleasant. Perhaps I was wrong about the microorganisms.

[Nai took Reishun's hand and led her out of the room quickly and quietly. He would stay behind a wall to make sure that neither Gaara or Tasuki was around]

( Cut for length! )

[Private to her friends, minus Tasuki and Gaara.]

[The little girl is just muttering angrily at first. Things like 'stupid meanies' and 'I hate them' may be heard should one listen closely. After these insults there is a moment of silence before she fully speaks.]

C-can I s...stay with someone for a few days?

[Her voice is shaky, and sniffling and hiccuping can be heard. Yes, someone is starting to get over a tantrum. Another pause.]

...Please?

[She hiccups and cuts the feed.]

Training will be beginning shortly in the recreation area. All who expressed an interest in learning, please come here.

((OOC: The log is here! Have fun!))

[Ichiru's lying in the middle of a bunch of white pillows on his stomach. On the floor in front of him are a bunch of papers spread across the floor. Multiple crayons are also scattered about and the boy seems very intent on what he's doing. A silver and yellow tribble is perched on his head and there's a little bit more of him just working. Finally he glances over.]

Sakura. Remember what I said back in that city? About the surgery I saw when I was in the hospital once. I finished it for you. You can come by for it at anytime. Right now I'm in the entertainment room but later I'll be in my room.

[The papers are gathered in a pile and put to the side. Ichiru grabs his tribble and rolls over onto his back.]

Christmas is coming. Why do I get the feeling that we won't get anything nice for the holiday? Oh well, it won't be my first time spending a holiday in a hospital-like setting. At least this isn't a real hospital where the emergency room chatter can be heard throughout the entire place.

[He pets his tribble which is now resting on his chest and closes his eyes.]

It won't be the worst holiday I've ever been through, at least someone decorated for it....

Wait, won't they just disappear at the end of the week? That's kind of sad.

[Public]

Hey, Kiryuu. I misplaced my blood tablets...do you mind sharing? And while you're at it, why not get me something to eat?

[Private to Tasuki]

About earlier...still think you can teach me to fight? This is between you and me. You better not say anything to anyone!

[[100% Unhackable to Spike]]

[Ed's voice is cautious as if she's afraid to ask what she does, but she plows on not exactly looking into the camera]

Spike said he knew the Sword Man but Edward doesn't know how Spike knows him and Ed is confused. Really really confused.

[Metal scrapes on metal, aggressively. Rhythmic and sharp, several times over before Sasuke flips something through his fingers with a speculative look. He flips it quickly, catches it between two fingers and whips it at a small red dot painted on the far wall. It misses the mark by only a fraction, which makes his eyes narrow in a twinge of irritation.]

... still off-balance.

[He stands and gathers up several other makeshift blades in one hand, and walks the distance of the room to pry it from the wall. Up close, there's dozens of small marks where previous attempts have impacted, all within a half-inch radius of that tiny dot. Whether it's his healing eyes giving him the difficulty, or the lack of proper balance in the makeshift bedspring kunai he's made, is up for debate.]

[Out in the biodome again; Kankuro likes at least the pretense at fresh air and outdoors, even if he knows how fake it is. He's not training this time, just doing maintenance; Sasori is sprawled over his lap, and he's holding up an arm, carefully doing what he can to clean out the joints and smooth out signs of wear. And yes, he's talking to the puppet.]

It's not the same as a full workshop, old man -- sorry about that. Bastard you may be, but a good piece of work deserves better treatment. When we make it home, I'll make sure you get the full treatment, to make up for however long of this.

[The tribble pops up out of the heart slot, purring something inquisitive; Kankuro looks at it and chuckles, then rubs it with a fingertip.]

And look, you even still have a heart. A lot softer and nicer than the previous occupant, huh?

[The faciliberry turned on as it came crashing with a clatter on the rec-room floor in a lopsided manner. Matsuri was pulling her self back in a rather graceful summersault as she stared at the familiar red head standing in front of her with a smile across her lips. Apparently, Matsuri and her wonderful Kazekage were sparring. A bit of taijutsu wouldn't kill anyone, you know.]

That was close. [She spoke out incredibly amused, she side stepped to the right.]

[Gaara had sought out his former student for a training session, except that this time, it was more for his own benefit than hers. If he was going to assist in the instructional session taking place the following day, then he would need to have something to teach. Especially since the majority of the attendants seemed to be normal civilians, and not shinobi. His sand abilities were unique to himself, after all.]

Your speed has improved, Matsuri.

[Her reflex was sharper, and her dodging more nimble. It had been some time since he personally surveyed her progress, and he was pleased to discover that she hadn't spent that period staying idle.]
