[It had been a week or so since Rikku has gotten here and she's starting to get the hang of everything. Waking up to see yet another new thing on her bed stand was starting to get annoying, but she hesitantly checked it out. Once reading about the contents... She couldn't help but get excited. Was that camera on?]

Oh! I wonder what I have!

[Upon releasing the pokemon, a small yellow mouse came out. The small creature seemed to poke it's head to the side, glancing to Rikku. The two of them studied each other as they looked to each other.]

Huh.... I wonder which one you are. Hi, I'm Rikku. 

Pii?

Let's be friends, 'kay?

[Holding her hand out to the small creature, the mouse scurried back slightly.]

What's wrong? I won't hurt you.

[No, Rikku... Don't try to pick it u-- Too late. Suddenly there's a flash of lightning. She's still okay.... barely... After a few minutes, she finally recovered enough to notice the camera was on. Picking it up...]

Haha... Real funny... Jerks.

[And with that she turned off the feed.

OOC: Sorry I haven't actually intro'd her yet, handwaving it since it's kinda late now ;-;]

[He doesn't look super amused...

AFTER GETTING SMACKED IN THE FACE WITH A NEWSPAPER, WHO WOULD BE.]

...Pigeons...? Why would I need to watch out fo- WOAH!

[The device is dropped as Sora has to duck to avoid a...YOU GUESSED IT...a seemingly angry pigeon!]

Wh-what the heck?!

[Yuna is finally using this device in order to actually talk to people. But it's for a very good reason as a matter of fact.]

Hello everyone, my name is Yuna and well... Is there anyone who is training these creatures that seem to live in such tiny balls?

[There is a reason for such a question and one which she will mention soon.]

I was hoping that someone would be willing to trade for one I have. I currently have two rather cute little guys that look exactly the same. So I thought maybe why not give one of them a home with someone else. I guess it would be called a trade.

If you are interested, I'd be more than happy to arrange something. Just let me know, okay?

This Week in Review
The Stapler (3D)
This was an indie film that I'm still, after watching it three times, not sure exactly how to describe it. It's clear the director wanted to tell a story that had a deep message, and it fell just short of that. It instead tells the story of a downtrodden man who's sole possession is his office stapler, and what happens when even that is taken from him.

The 3D effects are the worst part of the entire movie - the same effect is repeated over and over. The story itself is embarrassingly dull, but there is a certain charm to it that I find myself going back again and again. It is an experience that is something you have to see to believe..again.

See it... if you want to believe it... at the Holo Theatre in Nova City.

Rating: ★ ★ ☆ ☆ ☆

HELP WANTED

Help! I've been under the weather, and I'm a bit behind in my meat deliveries. I've been trying to make up for it, but there's just too much meat for one man to deliver, and everytime I set outside these dogs start chasing after me. I need someone to either make these deliveries or deal with those annoying strays!
Dalton, ~Attleton Meat Market

Help!
WELP I gotta thank all you kind adventurers that came to clean out the Biguana, but now it seems an even bigger beast has settled in its place. Some locals said they caught sight of a huge snake near that den. It hasn't gone near the town, probably ate up what Biguana were left, and as long as it doesn't bother the people I'm not gonna bother it. I need someone to scout out the den and see if that thing's still there and if it's safe.
Stuart Tanner, Everglade Tanners

Help! A sudden squall wrecked my ship and it sank not far from the beach in Fayren, and all of my supplies fell overboard. I need someone to help recover whatever they can from the wreckage. Non swimmers need not apply. I'll be at the Drunken Monkey in Fayren.
Captain Ignatious. B. Peanut, of the Swampy Mary.

Help! Mom's been busting my chops lately. So what if my room is a mess? I don't get visitors often! But whatever, to shut her up, I want someone to clean my room. $500 reward.
~Carter, Regency Apartments, Penthouse 4A

Help! A band of thieves have been hitting a few stores in Genessia City, but everytime someone goes after them they manage to slip away. Also they have access to .. unusual attacks, and several times those who go after them ... eventually don't want to. Someone out there has got to have the guts to take these menaces down!
~Julia Taylor, Taylor Jewelry

[ OOC PM this account if you take any of the jobs listed, and you'll get ooc details about it. ]

[ There's a bit of fumbling from the camera as it shows a large, pupil-less green eye. It blinks, then pans back to show a young girl with a frilly dress and wing-like hair adornments. It.... looks like she's in Fairy Haven, the guildhouse for Fairy Tail in Fayren.

She's giving a big smile as she examines the camera-walkie-talkie-thing. ]

This works like a communication lacrima, right? I wonder if it can see ghosts. [ It can!! Or at least, it seems people here don't need the guild crest to see her ethereal body, so same thing. Not that she knows that yet. ] If it can't, I'll bet this is pretty scary, right? Ooo! [ She shakes the camera a little, emulating a haunted camera or... something.

She seems to grow bored of that after a few seconds. She pouts a little. ] I just got so bored waiting for somebody to show up here. Fairy Tail is usually so active, but it's quiet here... Is everybody working? Sleeping? Maybe I should go check everybody's rooms...

[ No, Mavis, that's breaking and entering. Probably. You lived aloneish on an island for like a hundred years come on you can wait a few hours. ]

....I wonder if they'll be surprised to see me here?


[ So yeah. First Master is hanging around the guild waiting for people to show up. Bother her in person or over the videophone. ]
