[Wearing a jacket, beach sand behind her, Yin is well aware she hasn't been around for a month - she checked the network and noticed the date - but she doesn't address that. The video shows her stockings and shoes nearby. Unseen by the screen are her bare feet in the water.]

[Hei, July and Mao are likely getting visits from her specter as she runs this.]

[She might look just a slight more worn than she looked before her disappearance, but not many people would even notice that. You would have to have noticed she was looking down in the first place.]

For those that arrived while I was away, welcome to the City. I hope you have received sufficient information on your location and the situation you've been placed in. If not, the Welcome Center might still provide help.

[Yep, that's it.]

[Click.]

[The video shows... an unimpressed cat. It is most definitely not Justin's cat, but it's in his room.]

Does this cat belong to anyone?

[An orange tabby--that's Justin's cat--jumps up to sniff the intruder.]

He's been here for almost three days. I'm sure his owner is worried.

[That's actually a lie. The video doesn't convey it, of course, but the black cat is quite capable of answering any questions Justin might have. This isn't a real inquiry so much as an indirect way of asking him to leave.

There's little else that needs to be said. The feed ends.]


[ooc: Justin and Mao were handcuffed together and someone has decided to stick around. Possible action for Neil&Todd (who can't know that this is a talking cat) and Mao.]

Am I mistaken, or have we had a bit less down-time lately, between the curses?

As I've seen significantly less people chained together today, I suppose I'd best take the opportunity to address the Network.

My bar, the Wolf's Den, is currently hiring; preference will be given to those with experience, but I'm willing to give newcomers a chance, provided you are competent.

And-- needless to say, if you've an objection to our clientele, then you need not apply.
