[David starts up the video feed. He certainly prepared for this eventuality.]

We have encountered these creatures before a few years back. I created shelters in each city for people to retreat to in the eventuality of another situation like this. There is both magical and technological shielding to help keep the creatures out. The magical shielding was applied by various magic users in their own styles, including former Everglade Guardian Fai. The Genessia City police force is being dispatched to help stem the creatures from getting into the Archways as well as helping Genessia City citizens get to shelters.

[He puts in their location in each city here.]

There is food and supplies and space to house the entire populace of each city.

[The shelters are really that big.]

I would like for anyone that is able to help get people to the shelters if they wish to go as well as stand guard near them to help protect anyone coming in. Fellow Guardians, if you can spare yourself or your people to help with that effort, I would be grateful. Doctors, EMT as well as others that can offer medical help should be going to the shelters as well.


I will be moving through each city and broadcasting this message out with my telepathy to let people know about them, so don't be alarmed if you hear my voice in your head.

[That said, on to information about the creatures.]

Don’t let the creatures touch you, as they drain emotions from you when doing so. It can cause you to turn on your closest friends. These creatures can be dispersed by strong normal means, but they will only return. After their first attack, I had weapons created to help deal with this. If they are dispersed by one of these weapons, they won't return. The ones with the..flowery thing in them are new. So be extra cautious of them.

These weapons have their own drawbacks, however. Creatures from the last time that they were here have been sealed inside of them to give them the ability to banish the creatures for good. We were able to seal some of the creatures inside of sealing stones last time, but getting over run by them is way too easy. I took the creatures sealed in those stones and had them transferred to the weapons.

The weapons, when removed from their sheathes and wielded, have the same affect that the creatures have if they touch you, however it is at a much slower rate. The weapons can be effectively used in combat without much detriment. Though I do advise to only use then for finishing blows.

They have been routinely maintained and stores, so there is no worry about their state. If you want to use one, respond here or contact me directly. These weapons are only being loaned out and will be collected once this is all over. I think it's a good idea not to have these things freely floating around.

I will be going to the Cloister of Trails to see if this can be fixed. The last time there was a breach like this, a handful of people gave up things precious to them to fix it. I doubt it's going to be so easy this time around, because this breach is far worse than that one.

I-I learned how to do something new!

[He was already excited when he popped up on the video. The area was woodsy, right in front of a pond. A nice place to play around with water magic.

With relative ease he summoned up a glob of water, letting it float in front of him. That, of course, was easy peasy. No trick to that.

Then, concentrating, he lifted up his staff and carefully cut through the water with it, creating an outline. He didn't have the ability to do two different things with the water using his mind, so he physically reached out to push the excess water away from his drawing when he was done, until all that was left was the floating outline of of bunny.]

A-All you have to do is summon water, th-then draw a bunny, and move away all the non... non-bunny parts.

[He was so happy. He was studying hard, he promised, Trahearne.]

(Video)

[The image of a young girl appears on the screen. She is looking quite refreshed after subjecting herself to negative thoughts a number of days earlier. Her increased mood shows in this broadcast from just what she wanted to talk about. If not from the fact she is holding a book of fairy tales.]

"Hello, everyone. I just wanted to say In have a birthday coming up in a few short days. I don't plan to have a party this year, but I extend an invitation to all my friends anyway. But, onto what I really wanted to talk about.

What is a popular fairy tale from your home world?"

(Action)

[It was still acceptably cold in Genessia, so Anastasia can safely be outside and not be harmed by the heat from the sun. She was sitting on a swing at a playground near Ayame's apartment where she's temporarily staying while Satsuki is away. She had a book of fairy tales open in her lap, reading as she gently sways on the swing. She wasn't alone, as she has Sylveon beside her, paws up on the other swing.

What better companion to read fairy tales with than a Fairy-type pokemon? Maybe that and someone to talk fairy tales wit?]

This thing on? We rollin'?

Sweet, lets do this.

HEYA ladies, gents an' everythin' in between an' beyond. You bored? You ain't got nuthin' ta do? It's a Thirsty Thursday night or a sleepy Saturday?

I got the hottest place in Genessia City fer ya, ain't no where like it. Best drinks, best club an' best entertainment this side of the arches.

One of a kind place.

Who am I?

[The fairy grins, a flashy, wide, showman's smile, bearing a few of those sharp, shark like back teeth]

Well shucks, folks, I'm the entertainment! Once in a life time, ya won't find no singer like me nowhere else.

Ta prove me right, right here right now, one free sample of what ya might be gettin' if ya strut yerself inta ol' VL when the lights turn on.

Try an' contain yerselfs!

[After just a moment, the music starts, the instruments neatly recorded.

It's the vocals that are something else.

No at several points, it's clearly just Kani there, singing, the only person in the room, but there are multiple voices joining in on it, the siren's mismatched eyes flickering blue and green every now and again as doses of magic are infused with each and every word.

The feeling may be instant for some, the urge to dance, the need to get up and move, to listen to more. Happiness and drunken giddiness pulsing with every intoxicating beat of the song-

And then, it ends, and the after glow slowly ebbs as the magic is brought to a conclusion]

Want more? Want a night of that? Ya know where we are, Velvet Lust, one an' only, open from sundown ta sunup!

Who: Tannusen and whoever!
What: Planned threads: Telsen gets a job, Bracken meets a tiger. Other shenanigans also welcome!

[Telsen got through the hologram's explanation of where he was before reality smacked him in the face and he went with his usual method of handling fear: running away. He bolted out of the bay, leaving damp footprints as he went.

Oh no, oh no, oh no! He ran into a small park and promptly tripped over the leg of a bench, crashing to the ground in a heap. The phone skittered away onto the concrete path alongside the box from the pod. Ow! He lunged for the phone, trembling as he moved his fingers along the screen. Maybe-

The video feed starts with a shot of a narrow, planty face with a scratch across his nose and bright, watery blue eyes behind smudged glasses.]

I don't know what's going on- I don't know, I don't know! Where is this... No, no, no, I want to go home.

[He dropped the phone so that the camera could only see the sky above. By the sound of it, he'd just started crying. It's kinda pathetic really, maybe if one shouted he could hear them.]

[Action]

What looks to be a fusion between a pretty black flower and a pool noodle in fancy clothing is curled up in a park not far from the bay. He seems oblivious to passersby, his head down and shoulders shaking. The box from the pod is tipped over nearby and the phone sitting on the grass beside him.
