( [ video sent to Yuri about a minute earlier ] )

[ Public video ]

[ Tyr's neck and the underside of his chin are all that's shown as he speaks in a quiet, somewhat choked voice. As far as location goes, all that's obvious about it is that he's laying in the sand, under the shade of some structure. ]

I, I tried... Sorry... [ And with some more strength: ] Be careful...And save her for me.

[ Some time later, a black shadow covers the entire screen, only to disappear a few seconds later as the device slips out of his hand, showing the sky overhead. ]


[ ooc: Adding to the death count... He'll be around a little while longer for anyone who wants to respond. That shadow at the end would be Tyr's rune leaving his hand to attach itself to Yuri! ]

[ There's a sea-sick view of a FLOODED bathroom floor suds everywhere and the bath rug all twisted up on itself. The shaking of the camera is due to something that MIGHT be laughter or uh....CRYING???? It's hard to tell with the distorted audio and for those in the desert City this Candid Camera Episode is filled with sudden bursts of static and snow. ]

Yusuf what the hell!? Turn th-- Rhada!

[ Some enthusiastic hissing and an ow overlapping. The camera gets pummeled with wet forepaws and there is a face full of Rhada the Cat - Not Quite Bathed but very Upset Anyway. It knocks the device around so we get a clear-ish shot of Yusuf...who really does look like he's crying....uh. Then there's a loud thud and more reowrrrring and hissing and a wall of sound that's really just a literal wall of glass breaking from Someone running into it. The camera's view however during this time has remained an unsteady hand's view of the tile floor, a scurrying feline, and two sets of feet.

Oh but here's Arthur at least in voice: ]

YUSUF!

[ And here's Yusuf's voice again, laughing/Crying/YUSUFing.... ]

Shall I fetch Biscuit or the glass shard band-aids?

[voice/action]

[ The Doctor seems to be in some kind of busy public place, and you can hear people chatting all around him. The clink of glasses seems to indicate some kind of restaurant or bar. It is one of the City's many bars, and the Doctor hops up on the bar stool. There's a rustle of his jacket as he pulls a photograph free from an inner pocket, and he addresses the bartender. ]

A pint, please. And can you look -- just a second, really look. Have you seen this girl about anywhere? Average height, blonde. Name's Rose. Probably not using her last -- [ The bartender says something inaudible, sounding disbelieving. ] Yes, she looks like Rose Tyler because she is. Now have you seen her? Think hard.

[ The bartender answers in the negative. The Doctor (or Lieutenant John Tyler, as he currently believes himself to be), sighs. He drinks his pint. Third bar tonight with no luck. By the end of tonight, he's going to have found her, or gotten extremely drunk. Which seems to be more likely. ]

[ Rose, Rose, why did she run off to this City? He doesn't know. But he's determined to find her and get her out. ]

( voice; locked to Tosh; )

[ ooc: Gothic Romance curse with the Who/TW cast. Open to action in any one of the City's various City bars if you'd like. ]

You poor things... such a mess lately.

Does anyone need any help? Or am I too late...



[ooc: Your favorite sadistic, haughty vampire has been hit with a Morality Reversal today and is here to lend a helping hand to those suffering.]

[Accidental Voice Post]

Goodness, just look at it...it really is all of glass.

[There are very soft footsteps, faint and careful, like someone faced with the prospect of walking on eggshells and gingerly trying to keep them all from cracking as she goes.

(It's lucky she's a princess, really. If she can dance in shoes of glass, then she can certainly walk along a floor of it.)

But then there is rustling, too, like leaves, and the rhythmic sound of something falling may be too soft for all but the trained ear to hear--but it's there, keeping time, tink tink tink. Whatever could it be?]

Oh, drat, this again--?! Of all the times to--

[Evidently, Rosella knows.]


[OOC: Not five minutes back in the Glass City and already she's slapped with a curse. Such is Rosella's life. She's drawn What's In A Name for Grab Bag today, which means that in true and proper fairytale form, she's dripping roses with every step. Just a little extra fancy for a princess in a land of glass!]

[How she got the device to turn on, Delacroix does not know. Working the thing was much more difficult without fingers, as one might expect. It doesn't matter. The video turns on somewhere in the glass city and there is a stuffed rabbit looking down into it. It looks a bit cross for a child's toy, really.]

Zhis is ridiculous. I almost would 'ave preferred zhe slugs...


[[ooc; action so mightily encouraged.]]

[Peter skulks through the desert city. Being out and about - even in broad daylight - is the last thing he wants, but he's been informed that staying locked safe inside the basement is not an option, and that he is to spend the daylight hours outside, meeting people.

By this point, he's made his way to the area formerly known as Xanadu (not that he knows it). He's hot, tired, and sober - not a good state to be in.

He sits under a statue to rest. After a moment, he frowns and looks up. It takes him another few seconds to place the face -- charring.]

She never said she was famous.


[ooc: Action can be at any point before or after the statue! And thread-jacking is very much encouraged.]

[She's pressing her fingers against smoky glass; they're moving along the wall.]

I thought it was just the walls, before I got here. But it's not, is it? It's everything. It's the walls and the tables and the cars. But not the clothes.

But now I'm thinking of cars with a clear polymer engine. And engine that I could see through, anytime I wanted, without taking it apart.

I don't much care for the lack of privacy, though. It makes everyone so nervous.


[Her fingers move away from the glass]

I feel like Cinderella.

[Private video to Yuri:]

[To anyone else, she would seem perfectly calm, but he knows her well enough to catch the slight raggedness in her breath, and the urgency in her voice. She's just been in a fight, and what she has to say is important.]

You already know about Estelle, right?

[An educated guess, because she knows he would have paid attention to that post she made, just like Judith did.]

If you see her, be careful.


[Public video:]

Those... things, that get into people's heads and make them act strangely. Does anyone know how to get rid of them?

[That's all she'll say, and she seems calm enough, but something in her tone says she really could use an answer to that ASAP.]

[ooc: Very shortly after this]

[Private to Karl Fei-Ong]

Karl... I think it's past time for us to talk. Don't you agree?


[ooc: Only cursed with having a pain in the ass for a younger brother.]
