[ The feed starts to play with blurs of colour, the image shaky and the audio muffled sounds of movement and scrabbling with the faintest clip-clop of tiny feet on hardwood flooring and energetic whimpering.

But it stops when there's a heavy thud as the device clearly falls from a slight distance, the screen turning black momentarily from the impact, and then settling on the ceiling above, catching sight of a bouncy husky puppy attempting to clamber up onto a couch with a jacket hanging over the edge where it's pulled it down visible at the edge of the screen.

There's the sound of human footfalls carrying closer, and a soft, amused chuckle as a Clint-shaped shadow casts over the view. ]

You've barely been here an hour and already you're trashing the place. Can't get up? [ He sounds more fond than put out, and he crouches down to push the panting puppy up from below, allowing the pretence that it managed it itself. ] Don't worry, Tasha'll probably think it's me. Taking one for the team, right?

[ Foot kicking the device as he straightens up, Clint scoops up the device and groans when he realises it's recording. ]

So much for being discrete.

[ Private to Natasha ]

Surprise?

[Nathan is sitting on the bar counter of his strip club, sipping at a glass of wine. Business is really booming based on the noise around him and he really can't complain about that. It just means more money for him in the long run. But seriously, that's hardly why he's come on right now.]

Hi~ [He sets his glass down and waves at the camera.]

You know I have been thinking of starting up another business to help occupy my hours. This one would be above ground and would focus more on fashion. It seems a lovely venture, yes? I always have been fond of designing clothes and there really are so many pretty people here.

[Leaning back on one hand, he continues.] I know there are several clothing shops around but what I would like to do is create a little boutique where I can design your outfits on the spot then deliver them to you in a few days. Seems interesting in my mind anyway. Now the question is...would that be of interest to those around here?

[Another smile and he sits up to wave again.]

Let me know your thoughts, darlings~!

[She's not looking directly at the screen when the device turns on, but it's easy to see the red eyes that come from tears that have passed and the messy hair of someone has looked almost everywhere, worried. Though as far as she believes, she has switched onto an audio connection so there's no one watching her pathetic state, as she tries to sound normal--]

Has anybody seen Kaito?

[Hiccuping, she shakes her head and rubs her eyes with her sleeve.]

Or is he really gone... Home.

[Nobori looks quite pleased today; it's not just a polite smile, he genuinely sounds happier too. Almost cheery.]

If I may go off-course for a moment, now that we have reached the end of this line, I would like to ask you a question! It's not necessary to answer it as it has nothing to do with the record I keep, and it is somewhat more personal... but, it would mean a lot to me if you would answer it:

What is your destination of choice when you want a good diversion?

[And, because no video post is complete without it, his signature pointing-and-calling:] Safe driving! Follow the schedule! All aboard!
