[Video: Locked from Sun]
I've....only read about them but- as unorthodox as this may be given times of crisis are amidst, I'm afraid I have to ask. What exactly happens on dates? Is there- a dress code like our school dance?

It's odd to ask such a question but- I've never exactly been on one before so I want to make sure I do this date thing right.

Thus far my endeavors in the library haven't really given me much to go by. There are still many more books to shuffle through but at least I'm able to read them.

I met a young boy named Luke who is here alone. Weiss, Yang, I hope you don't mind that I offered him to stay with us should he ever feel scared or alone. I wouldn't be right to leave him on his own...

Sun, would it be alright if he stayed with you on some nights? Only when he'd want to with your permission, of course. I'd be very grateful for any answer you can provide.

There's still much more research to be done. [Giving a small sigh, she rubs her eyes but thankfully they're not as dark and red as when she was fully suffering from her insomnia of stress.]

[Throughout Genessia and, to a lesser extent, several sub-cities, there are posters about encouraging others to 'Vote Princess Azula for Fayren Guardianship'. It is essentially a waist up picture of Azula standing proud in her Fire Lord Armor standing under an oak tree.

Satsuki would prefer a smear campaign, but she really doesn't have enough information on MewTwo to perform something like that- so she's decided upon an alternative method- for those undecided, she's more than happy to attempt deciding for them.

The feed opens with Satsuki Kiryuin sitting at an office that is, presumably, within Wily Tower. By her side is a set of tea and kettle, which is picked up by her Gothorita and carried off. There might or might not be a subtle discrediting there.]

Denizens of Genessia, it has come to my attention that there are two candidates running for position of Guardian of Fayren. Because accomplishments of the duo are not widely known, I would like to provide insight on why I have decided to give my vote to Princess Azula.

As of now, it is not immediately apparent what issues the main City and sub-cities face outside of large scale attacks. The economy is a bit of a mystery, but serviceable. Many denizens are capable of providing help to others that need it. Many other issues that may plague our home worlds have not revealed themselves here. What is clear to me is that we are in need of leaders to help provide direction in the extremely unusual situation that we are in, and for that task I would easily find the young lady beyond capable.

The Princess is empathetic and aware; a listener and an admirable guide. I am impressed by how many times I have seen her welcome and assist newcomers, many of you who I am sure are watching at this time.

She is quite proactive, involved and decisive; I have witnessed her laudable, heroic responses and actions during the Great Disaster of Genessia City, as well as the unusual Nightmare Incident of Everglade.

While there is no shortage of confidence and focus within her, I have seen at the block party that she also has a light sense of humor- I freely admit that it has it's place, particularly in the future where I am certain future Guardians may end up in heated disagreements once in a while.

And, most obviously, she is the daughter of the great Fire Lord Ozai of her world. It is true that she is quite young but she has been raised and prepared from birth to fit in a position like this one.

If there is one glaring weakness I have noticed, it is that she spreads herself too thin- But ith the appropriate assistants, Azula can easily become one of the most inspirational and enthusiastic Guardians of Genessia's time. Perhaps one of you should consider volunteering to assist in this matter.

I ask you do not take this information as discrediting everyone else's efforts- I am merely stating how I believe she possesses the traits of a Guardian, the ability to move forward and, as such, voted for her rather than her opponent. Thank you for your time.

[With that Satsuki ends the feed.]

There was a slight hiss before the lid of the pod slid open and after quite some time the small figure inside finally stirred and rolled over. It wasn't for several more minutes that his situation registered and Taiki squeaked in alarm. Then he wiggled his way to the edge and looked around with large, fearful eyes.

"Sanshi??" Taiki called softly and looked down at his shadow where she normally was. There wasn't even a hint of her presence and it made him even more afraid. Had he gone back to Japan somehow? But there wasn't any lakes like this that he'd ever seen. After a long internal debate the young teen finally stuck what he'd found beside him in his pocket and started wading his way carefully out of the cave. Perhaps he'd be able to see where he was then.

Sakuya floated quietly next to her pod, fiddling nervously with a butterfly knife. She scanned over the pamphlet again, her jaw tightening before tucking it away in her pocket. Lifting the phone she turned it over in her hands, fiddling swiftly with it, the video feed clicking on, the maid's lovely face appearing in any nearby screens, her eyes flicking nervously around the screen, several curses murmured in french... After a moment she sighs, frowning, pursing her lips, the feed switching off.

Closing her knife, it vanished from her hand, taking a moment to straighten her apron and headdress, floating elegantly over the water and out into Genessia, raising a hand to shield her eyes from the sudden light. Her jaw tightened, the maid closing her eyes, forcing her shoulders to relax before drifting to the edge of the water.

Hand wrapping around her watch she let her senses expand, brushing against the fabric of spacetime. This was not her world. It wasn't even a hidden or unexplored part of her world, nor was it an illusion. This was bad... At once she set out toward the city, trying to still her frantic heart, time and space rippling a little in her wake.

She had to find her mistress quickly.
