The police department has received several dozen phone calls regarding wounds inflicted by mysterious falling objects today. Please don't report any further incidents. It's a curse and it's beyond our control. And if you inexplicably live through what should be a fatal accident, don't complain; consider yourself lucky.

Try to keep a solid roof above your head for the remainder of the day if at all possible.

[A click signifies the end of the recording... or not. It clicks back on.]

Angela Montenegro appears to be gone from the City. I've only been to the Hall... if someone would--could check...

[A pause and then a final click.]


[ooc: Slightly backdated!]

( Alexiel is looking a little battered when the feed turns on. Her propensity for wandering the streets - especially at night - earned her more than a few run-ins with falling objects. Yet it's nothing she can't handle. She hasn't even bothered to tend to the wounds. )

For the sake of curiosity...

How many of you have experienced multiple lives? ( i.e. reincarnations etc.. ) I know about the City's ability to revive the dead and that doesn't interest me.

( She shifts the camera so that her current place of work comes into view. There are people nearby eyeing her curiously, but she pays them no mind. )

If you have been reincarnated ( there is no better word for it ), what do you recall of your past lives? What did you learn? Was it worth dying for?

[After a having more than a few conversations about friends and friendship, someone is actually interested to see what others think about the subject.]

Other opinions are required on a subject so if someone would indulge One's curiosity with an answer or two?  

What makes two persons friends? And what does that mean to you? 

[Ne goes to turn off the device before remembering to add one thing more.]

Luke, do let this One know before you bring Len Len over again. It seems there is a new house guest and his diet has yet to be ascertained.

[Charlie's at home in the living-room this time. She's seated on the couch with Phantom sleeping at an awkward angle on her shoulder. Seriously, he's upside down and seconds from falling off into her lap but it's obvious he's breathing and occasionally his paws move like he's chasing something, accompanied by faint growl sounds from the fox.

Goofy animal.]

So, yesterday I was almost flattened by a marble table that fell from the sky. Someone knocked it out of the air before it hit me. A very....big someone and I didn't get the chance to do this yesterday so...thanks.

[And then she filters it to friends. This is important. Pay attention. This has her in a very good, and somehow kind of shy mood, so she's going to fail at Words and this won't come out quite as eloquently as she'd like it to.]

[Friends filter;]
I need help putting something together. It's....[A pause. She never in her wildest dreams thought this would be happening to her. Her life just didn't allow it. So she's not sure what she wants to say.] Merlin and I are getting married and I don't know the first thing about putting a wedding together and I'm asking my friends for help with this.

[Charlie, that was the shittiest way to announce your future plans. And she seems aware of this because her face turns red and she runs her fingers through her hair a moment. Phantom wakes up long enough to slide off her shoulder and run off. His human disrupted his nap. He's going to sleep elsewhere.] I don't...really want something big, even if this is big for us. I just want it special and would love it if all my friends were part of it.

[And then the feed shuts off. She's said enough. She can't brain saying more because it's once again hit her that she is getting married. Holy shit.]

( Click, silence—

When Amy finally speaks, her voice is almost even, though her voice breaking at the end betrays her emotion. )

The Doctor's gone.



( ooc; Replies may be slow because I shall have a visitor soon, but I just had to get this up ;; )

With Angela Montenegro's departure, I suppose that puts me in charge of Passioné and everything else attached to it.

Merlin's beard, where do I even begin? How do I do this?

If you work at the boutique, salon, or café—this change doesn't affect your employment, but you're welcome to check in with me if you've got any questions or concerns.

The shop will be closed for the remainder of this week while things get a little reorganised; we'll reopen on Monday, so don't worry! Your Halloween shopping plans won't be put on hold for too long.

Honestly, I'm still a bit new to this, but I'll try my best to keep everything running as Cinna and Angela did. Thanks very much for your understanding and patience, everyone.

[ private to ROSELLA ]

Obviously this all shakes up my schedule, but if you've got a moment, I'd like to talk to you about that? Work something out? And... well, ask for a bit of advice, too.


[ooc; angela's gone home. :( and with that, ginny's taken ownership of cinna's business. i, just like ginny, am feeling my way around this so though most employees are probably npcs with a handful of pcs, i will try to keep things organised as need be!]
