[The feed opens with Temari facing away from the camera, as if there's something interesting beside her. The room was dimly lit, but to the observant eye, they'd notice Temari's eyes were very red. Her lower lids sported a dark grey shade, as if Temari hasn't slept for days. Her breathing was uneven, as if exhausted from running. And knowing Temari who runs every day, being breathless is something novel for her. But she kept a brave face as she addressed the feed.]

To all those who knew Sai, he has disappeared. He is nowhere within all five cities. If you have commissioned him for anything, I regret to tell you it will no longer be finished.

[Then a brief pause. Again, to the observant eye, they may notice a tear or two escaping her eye even if she looked angry rather than lonely. Her brows furrowed at her next words.]

To all those who knew my brother, Gaara. He is no longer here. They've both disappeared. I regret to inform everyone that any responsibilities to friends, the city and the employer that he had, can no longer be completed.

[Coming home from the hospital one day and not seeing her little brother was the most disappointing thing for Temari. She could survive anywhere for as long as her brothers were there with her. But she only had Gaara, and now, he was gone.]

I regret to inform everyone that they can no longer be found within the five cities. I've checked. Twice. [More than twice.] Hopefully they may have found a way to go home.

[Private to Ishtar]
I'm sorry Ishtar. But I tried looking for Gaara for over a week now.

It seems like he will no longer be with us. He may have gone home, because there are no traces of him. Not even the wind could give me clues as to where he is.

Likely, he found his way home. At least I hope he did.

[Private to Zuko]
Seeing as two of our housemates are no longer with us, that means you have the choice of two bedrooms without having to share it with anyone. Since obviously, I'm taking the other room to myself. [The master bedroom, obviously.]

Also, though it shouldn't be a problem, we're splitting the bill for the house to ourselves until we find more housemates. Either way, our rent is still very affordable. Any questions?

-amn thing, work!

[Guess whose device hasn't been working for an entire month? This guy's. It's another reason he wishes Guy was around.

Of course, Luke hasn't really been taking the time to fix the stupid thing. He's been using all of his free time looking around the city, for the past week, or so. People have been disappearing, left and right. One of them, recently...? Happens to have been someone he'd become friends with.

So, Luke's sitting on a bench not far from home, not looking all that happy about life, at the moment.

When he finally notices that the device is working, he smiles a bit, in relief- it's not exactly genuinely happy.]

Heh...Stupid thing...

[With that, the feed cuts.]

[Yuna was currently standing in a kitchen, unsure of what exactly to do. Ever since she got here she had no idea of what to do. Her goal back home couldn't be accomplished here, so she had no idea of what one could do now. It wasn't long before she reaches over and picks up the device, switching it on.]

Hi there. I've been here for a couple months now and well... I can't think of what to do. [She moves away from the kitchen, going to sit down in the sitting area for the meantime.]

It's... kind of frustrating. Not knowing what to do around here and I mean, I could try and do something to what I did back home, but I don't think there is much need for something like that.

[And as much as she does enjoy the quiet and calm, she realizes she is also someone who likes to do something.]

If anyone has any idea of something I can do, I would appreciate it very much.

((This takes place a day or two after Koishi's arrival, give or take.))

The figure of a pink-haired young woman shifted inside one of the tubes at The Bay, the mind-reader stumbling out of her unfamiliar surroundings, and inspecting the curious package that had somehow fallen into her possession. A red, baseball sized eye attached to her body by a series of arteries shifted a little and seemed to stop glazing over. She felt much like she'd overslept, and all three of her eyes felt like they were too heavy. Whether she'd fallen asleep at all was another question, as was the fact that she'd been brought against her will to some strange place without even knowing it.

Bewildered beyond belief, Satori fiddled with the odd piece of technology calling itself a 'videophone'. With technology like this, she expected this was the work of some Kappa project. Or worse still, she might have ended up somewhere on the Outside. This certainly wasn't Gensokyo, and it would explain how unusual this place was. She was more than a little intrigued by this 'Genessia' place after gathering some preliminary information.

As her mind began to piece things together a little more, she realized the gravity of her situation. Her pets were gone, she wasn't at Chireiden (let alone anywhere resembling Gensokyo) and to make matters worse, Koishi wasn't anywhere to be found. Her 'third eye', began to stir, sensing a din of thoughts elsewhere, and she felt there was no choice but to seek out someone who could tell her what was going on, despite that the noise outside would probably end up being the mind-reader's worst nightmare. But she would have to bear it until she could find somewhere quiet to while the time until she figured out what was going on.

And so, the mind-reading youkai, whom even sinful spirits fear, took her first steps into this new land. She hoped everyone at home wasn't missing her too much.
