{Animus}

[There's the usual static hum on everyone's PCD, as the screen goes black. After a moment, a low flute tone starts up, continuing as a background melody throughout. For anyone who hears it, it would sound vaguely familiar, from their home world- though played inexpertly, as if they couldn't entirely remember how it was supposed to go.]


too soon, too early

not quickly enough

calm down, take a breath we're still setting up
we'll take it apart
you always do

we can carry it ourselves
is it really necessary

^finally, that's better
wait what's going on

[Wait, is this the animus thing that people told her about?]

Er... Setting up what? I'd like to know what's going on, too. If we know what you're trying to carry, maybe some of us could... help?

[adstring-npc.livejournal.com]

a lot of things!
how did they all fit in here

not using these _movers again

[She knows the drill: the Animus speak in riddles, she gets confused. But she's back today because she still needs answers, and because the last Inner City infiltration finally got some.]

I heard one of you is named Thalatte.

What about the rest? You must all have names. Memories. Thoughts.

[adstring-npc.livejournal.com]

yes
hard to speak without thoughts

Okay, guys, listen up, this event stuff seriously has to stop, and so does the talking in riddles stuff.

[The filter failure seems to have motivated a certain paranormal investigator. He's not too happy about the result.]

If you want something, you can talk to me. I'm sure you don't want to stay here as much as the people who are trapped here, so lets strike a deal, and everyone goes home happy.

can you give us what we want

we've asked so many times
but no one delivers

[feel-nevermore.livejournal.com]

Hey. Long time no see.

So it's the beginning of a new event and you're not ready yet? You could have postponed, we wouldn't have minded.

[adstring-npc.livejournal.com]

keep your eyes open

[thelonegenin]

... How many of you guys are there, even?

[reddattebane.livejournal.com]

Is this some type of riddle? [These must be the animus.]

[adstring-npc.livejournal.com]

[flameandpassion]

[Well. Time to give this a go.]

Tiamet.

Do you know that name?

[adstring-npc.livejournal.com]

[hardcorecute.livejournal.com]

Hiiiii Elephants!

I like your music!

[adstring-npc.livejournal.com]

we picked it for you

[supermistfrog.livejournal.com]

...

Ah, have you separated this time?

[adstring-npc.livejournal.com]

not entirely
there's not enough room

but we cleaned the tubes so we could stretch a little this week
(you all store too many things in there)

[sgtmajorjerk.livejournal.com]

You must be the Animus I've heard so much about.

Ku, ku, ku!

[adstring-npc.livejournal.com]

must we

possibly!

[soundsofdrums.livejournal.com]

Having a party there, are you?

[adstring-npc.livejournal.com]

we haven't got all the bugs worked out
they keep crawling around

[books-n-battle.livejournal.com]

So, we can actually talk without you arguing with each other this week, huh?

[adstring-npc.livejournal.com]

no you can't

sure you can

maybe
