Good morning, criminals! It is the thirty-sixth day of the third generation today, and it will be exceptionally clear and crisp. The pools are heated, so you are encouraged to continue enjoying them even as the weather chills.

As I am sure most of you have likely noticed, the trial and integration for the Engineers was successful, and they have now joined you here. There is no cause for alarm. I repeat: no cause for alarm. They were brought here under the same circumstances you all have been.

Now that that is out of the way, my processes will in large part be occupied by climatology, so I may not have maximum capacity to chat with you all.

[ Wheeler, having spent the night worrying about his current predicament, wakes up and hears about the pool. Thinking to himself that a little bit of relaxation wouldn't hurt, he drops by the store to get some swim trunks and heads to the pool. ]

I'm headed to the pool if anybody wants to join me! Last one in is a rotten potato!

[The formality of the doctrine in front of him is proof enough of its authenticity. However, the question that first comes to mind when he becomes cognizant of his surroundings is ‘Who?’ Who brought him here? Who was able to catch him unawares with such skill and competency? And who is this ‘Artificial Intelligence Sentience’? Moreover, his powers seem to be incapable of removing the ball and chain attached to his leg. Even though it is clear that he does not have the upper hand, Kaname remains silent and calm as he takes in his surroundings. It is best to stay quiet in the company of an unknown enemy.

His hand reaches to the headset and he fiddles around with the controls. It doesn’t take him very long to acquire a map or figure out how to use the device.

He turns it to the ‘video network’ option and anyone who is paying attention will now see an insanely attractive vampire man staring at you. Particularly to humans, he is the type of person that you cannot help but gawk at. His tone is pleasant and friendly, even if his gaze remains empty and emotionless.]

Your courteous introduction is deeply appreciated, Sentience-san. [His eyes bend into a cordial smile.] However, if you would be so kind, might I have a word with you in regards to the allegations made against me, as well as inquire about the logistics of your facility itself?

It's certainly been a while since I've had a question to ask, now hasn't it?~

Surely you missed hearing my lovely voice of a morning, yes?

Well color me curious, but what of some myths and legends from your home worlds? Care to share?

[Someone is incredibly frantic and oh so very upset.]

S-sebastian? Sebastian?? Oh, Sebastian, Sebastian, where for art thou Sebastian! Come back to me!!! Don't leave me here! You were too good to go!

What am I going to do without Sebastian around!? Now him and Xion are gone? This is absolutely horrible. I want to die!

[Fou-Lu waits for Saix on a park bench, staring off into space and clutching a small object in one hand. The chilly air doesn't seem to make an impression on him, and he certainly hasn't dressed any differently for it. And, well, he just looks tired.]

[The vampire, the engineers, and now Xion's disappearance... it was all very taxing, more than he was willing to admit to nearly anyone. He shifts the object in his hand, and it responds with a muted jingle.]



[OOC: please ask one of us if you'd like to be let in~]

Ah, I hope I'm doing this right...

[lots of fumbling going on along with a couple of muttered words about finding a map followed by silence, then she clears her throat]

I just-- I'm positive the General is fine and can handle things in Greece. Yes. It never hurt anyone to at least stay and look around for a bit, right? Despite how strange it all feels.

[Yuuri is sitting outside of Dahlia's room, waiting for Conrad to come see him after their talk. He wishes he hadn't worried the soldier. He worried people yesterday too. He was creating more problems than solutions. He hoped he at least made Dahlia feel better last night.]

[the channel runs for a second. click click.] Well.

Isn’t this great. [click, click, click... click, click-- a frustrated sigh.]

This is... starting to get on my nerves. More so than yesterday.

Got a light? Mine’s run dry.
