[A clear of his throat;] Y'arr.

[If that doesn't sound unnatural, then who knows what does. Even still, Mako isn't completely aware of what's happening to him, otherwise he would have found a way to redirect himself from City central with a bounty of loot at his feet.

He proceeds with a dumb, cocky smile on his face, an expression similar to one he would wear if he told criminals after a car chase, "Looks like you have some car trouble. Good thing the police are here." Something like that.]

Sounds like a bounty of treasure hunters have been hitting the City. Well guys, today's your lucky day. Your hard work just became a whole lot easier.

Come down by the carousel to collect a telescope that will point you in the direction of buried treasure. Or, if you like a little less guesswork, I have a map where 'X' marks the spot.

[He holds up both items, and after putting them down he presents a caged parrot.]

Need a new sidekick? Got one of those too.

[The parrot crawks, and he sets that down as well. Could he look any more confident? Perhaps not. He's here to sell.]

Anyway, name's Mako. I'm down by the carousel selling some valuable wares you can't find anywhere else. Come by and I'll answer your questions.

[He closes the feed. Perhaps this is the first advertisement you've seen of his, or maybe he's ripped you off before and now you've come to give him beef. More information can be found here.]

( There's a small groan of frustration and Alexiel appears on the feed, running a hand through her hair. She has isolated herself for over a month, barely leaving Hatter's mansion - except for work, of course. But it's time things changed, so she's back out on the street, taking in the goings on around her. )

Kurai... Michael... Hatter...

If you see this, I would like to speak to you.

( Let's face it - depression or overwhelming sadness isn't new to her, but this lack of purpose is. She seems lost without her heart and her sword. )

I'm beginning to lose my sense of how things used to be.
