[ Did you subscribe to The Genessia Tribune? Did you even remotely wish you had a newspaper or some other form of media to refer to for news, weather, and current events? Then you're in luck! There's a paperboy riding through the streets of Genessia flinging newspapers onto doorsteps or, if you're unlucky, through your window. Even remote locations in the other cities will still get a paper if one of the residents ever wanted one. The Paperboy is just that dedicated. ]
[ And if you're one of the following people, and you happen to subscribe to the newspaper, the Paperboy may or may not have flung the newspaper through that person's window, at the person, and/or broke something in the area: Rapunzel, Christa Renz, Aang, Edea Lee, Krad, Annie Hagen, Natsu Dragneel, Karla, Yuu Kashima, Kaito Aiba ]

[The video clicks on to show Pascal standing just outside the Bay. She waves at the camera.]
Hey! So, I saw the hologram already. Blah blah abduction, trapped forever, get a job, blah blah. Got a question, though!
[The camera swivels to the hologram stand-- or what was the hologram stand. It's lying in pieces now with all the circuit boards exposed. Pascal continues in the same cheery tone as if this was a totally normal and acceptable thing for her to do. She waves a screwdriver at various parts of the circuitry as she talks.]
I can see that the zippy bit goes to that lump-thing there and I'm guessing that click-click is what's making the projection, but what's the power source? I thought it might be that thing--[She points at an empty container, which anyone from Remnant might recognize it as a dust cartridge.] but when I popped it open to take a look, it was just like-- FWOOSH! And then, uh, that happened.
[She swivels the camera to show that a sizeable chunk of the Bay around her has frozen solid. This includes the water she's standing in. She doesn't seem too concerned about the fact that she's frozen to the floor though. When she turns the camera back to her face, she's beaming.]
It was kinda like the stuff you can do with eleth, but I'm absolutely sure it wasn't eleth. So if you know what it was, help a girl out! Thanks!
[And the video clicks off without so much as an introduction.]

[There's a moment or two of awkward fumbling. It's hard being unused to modern devices.]
Maker's breath I don't know what sort of magic this runs on but this had better work.
[There's a moment and his voice changes to something more firm and commanding.]
I do not know where I am or who brought me here but I am the Commander of the Inquisition and I demand not only answers but a way home. I do not wish to result to harsh measures but I have far too many important things to do than stay here.
[And that's it, he even manages to shut it off on the first try. Go him.]

( Closed to Luke Triton )
[Sometime after his unexpected encounter with Luke, Clive finally decides to give this videophone thing a go. He appears to be sitting on a bench somewhere in Genessia, leaning forward with his face very close to the screen.]
--that, and... oh, is this thing on already? [He lets out a small, sheepish laugh as he leans back and adjusts the camera's position to give everyone a better shot of him.] That was a lot simpler than I thought it would be.
Well, I suppose I should begin with a brief introduction. My name is Clive Dove and I'm from London, England. I've been here for a few hours already and have a general idea of what's going on here, although I still find it all rather hard to believe. But I'm sure I'm not the only one.
[He pauses for a moment. It's still sinking in that he's addressing hundreds of people all at once just by sitting here and talking to this screen. This newfangled technology, man.]
Let's see... Some suggestions on cheap flats to live in and decent starting jobs would be nice, but there's something else that I'd really like to know. For anyone who wouldn't mind satisfying my curiosity, tell me a little about your world, or just the area in which you grew up in. Is this sort of technology as strange and new to you as it is for me? Or perhaps it's old-fashioned compared to your world's standards? I'm curious to see how varied the population here is, and just how far our mysterious captor's reach extends.

[The room is mostly dark when the video feed turns on, but maybe that's because the camera is propped oddly next to a book on a table. One pink paw-pad is visible as Luke's pet fennec fox steps on the screen. It's her, clearly, that's triggered the camera to turn on.
Further away is Luke, in pajamas without his hat and standing on a chair, struggling with what looks like a piece of plastic. With a little straining, it's probably clear that he's in front of a window. Just to the side of the chair is the weekly Genessia Tribune. His voice is quiet, and he's talking to himself.]
Suna, I wish they'd stop throwing rocks through the window with the newspaper. This is really hard to cover up. At least I already have a tarp--
[Oh. Well, he was actually pretty close to getting the window covered, until he leaned a bit too far to the right and toppled the chair. With a startled yelp, down he goes, landing squarely on his bum. Suna seems startled by the fall herself--she darts off the table and in doing so knocks off the camera, cutting the video feed off.]

Dragons, a labyrinth... what sort of nonsense is going to happen next? Bezella herself?
[Guess who as been using her job as a bartender to find info on the weird stuff happening? This Inquisitor.]
I know there are the GUardians but isn't there some sort of general enforcement in these cities?

[When the video feed turns on, a young woman is leaning in close to the camera, perplexed.]
Hey, hey--what's going on here? I'm supposed to be at practice right now.
[Kashima leans back from the camera, crossing her arms with a sigh. Frankly, she looks more frustrated than anything else.]
I promised senpai I'd be on time today.
[Your phone definitely does not have any answers for you, Kashima.] If I can't do anything, then...
[The smile she flashes could actually be causing sparkles to appear, but it could be a trick of the eye. Maybe.] If I'm here with you all anyway, then I should at least properly introduce myself! I'm Kashima Yuu!

[...is this how you turn on this thing? w-well, she certainly has it on now, so at least that's out of the way. she's just been so confused since she arrived here. it wasn't as though furniture were well instructed on how to use technology.]
....Who is it that summoned me here?
[her master isn't anywhere to be found...] ...It wasn't Beatrice-sama... so just what is going on...?
Someone summoning me without being a proper witch... it's unthinkable. If one thinks they'll be able to use me as their furniture so easily then they'll have to prove it for I have not acknowledged any master but Beatrice-sama.
So speak now! [yes please speak little contraption thing.] Lucifer of Pride here, do not keep me waiting.

[ there's a moment where the view is upside down- and it's of nothing but a blue arrow. he pauses, holds it out further so the entire person holding it is in the shot (still upside down) ]
I think I figured everything out. Sort of. I can just talk into this, right? And then everyone else sees or hears it? [ there's a pause where he's not sure what to do after that. is it even working? how would he know? ] It's so weird to talk to people without knowing if you're actually talking to people.
Uh... - I'm Aang! Hi. Weiss said that this was an entirely different world. Thanks for the introduction explain by the way if you can see this! She said different world so I was wondering where everyone else came from to begin with? I only know the one I came from-- Okay, technically two but the Spirit World is interconnected and I can be in both at the same time so I'm not sure if that counts.
Also, how do people go about finding out if anyone they know is here? Or has anyone seen a flying bison around? Do you guys have bear-bears or different kinds of bears? What's a video anyway? Is this a spirit world or a regular world?

[It's been a couple of days since her arrival and Darklaw has been industriously working to set herself into lodgings. The video opens in a small sparsely furnished room. From the look from of the room itself it seems to be in Fayren. There's a woman in view who looks mostly serious but there's a faint smile playing on her features as if she's rather amused by the whole affair.]
Common wisdom states that there is nothing beyond the walls of Labyrinthia. As such, it would seem that this collection of cities should be considered the deepest of heresies against the Storyteller. That this magic that could bring any here on a whim flies in the face of His Story.
[She stops for a brief second, her expression becoming more solemn somewhat.]
However, upon investigation I have discovered a few things that lead me to believe different. The major one being the recent infestation of dragons. [She's spent a few hours going over the more recent entries. She shakes her head.] Any member of the Inquisition would know what the significance of that would be. Dragons and black cats are the heralds of the gravest evil: the Great Witch Bezella, mother to all other witches and bringer of disaster.
[There's no small amount of loathing as she says that name.]
As such, as scant evidence as that is, I will see to it that I shall help bring the Storyteller's justice here as well. I am the High Inquisitor Darklaw, however little that title means here. Even without the Knights at my back, I shall try to do my best to serve this new found town until the Story states that I return.
[With that, she reaches out and turns off the video quickly.]
