[Static. Static that gives way to a blurry, shaky camera arc, clearing on a section of the wall outside of the Inner City. But like the Animus posts, there's no PCD on the other side of the recording. It just... is, transmitting itself with no apparatus.

The image eventually sharpens. A small fish- mostly green- swims in quick loops, darting around the screen. Considering all the water, it doesn't look out of place.

A single voice finally cuts in, though it fades in and out.]

Hello!

It's much brighter out here.

[Something has left the Inner City.]

[Wait, is this?]

Some of you came out! Going to enjoy more of the event?

[There's only a single fish in view, but it seems to like using plurals anyway.]



[Which doesn't keep it from looping around in broad circles.]

Ah--

[And suddenly, frog on the screen. Looking over Castiel's feed, he clears his throat and stares into the camera.]

You got out already? Ch. You just had to pick now, didn't you.

[Well...that is...interesting.]

It's dark where you usually are?

*Just a sec, he's a bit shocked to see one of you out of the Inner City.*

Yeah, everything's more muted in there, isn't it?

[adstring-npc.livejournal.com]

[Though it keeps swimming back and forth in front of the wall, it never ventures far from it before looping back.]

[exarmatio]

... you're used to darker places, then?

[Yeah, this great white shark person? Moving rapidly now, towards the Inner City wall. But until he gets there, Sephiroth will settle for video.]

Hello. [See, he can be polite. Sort of.] I am surprised to see you so... singular.

[The fish. Finally.]

You've left the Inner City...

The orchids told me we would meet soon. I didn't expect it to be that soon though.

Can I meet you?

Hello, Thalatte. Are you lost?

[He knows that speech pattern and he's already looked through what others have been publicly saying on this post.]

So you're part of the Animus, are you?

[Whoever this being is, they speak in a particularly familiar manner... that is, one of a ghost edging into the madness that characterizes the end of their tether to the world of the living.

Unlike the others, Alexia is still dry and very much human. She cannot go outside.]

... but you are of the fish persuasion.

[Video]

[adstring-npc.livejournal.com]

[The fish actually pauses at the sight of her, before looping around again in a slightly faster manner.]

[checkmychainyo.livejournal.com]

You're an Animus?

[Her massive red frilly beta tail aside, Rei looks the most excited she has the entire week.]

Thalatte.

You should try to teach me how to swim. You look better at it than I am.

[slavishly.livejournal.com]

Hello. Were you the animus I talked to before? Do you need any assistance?

[ ooc; would tracking kidou work? :x

also, my apologies if this is Anne, but would Mayuri like her to attempt to bring her back to the lab? :x oh god what is going to happen ]

[ video ]

[adstring-npc.livejournal.com]

((OOC: No, this is Siren. <3 I take care of the Animuses. And sure, Mayuri would like that! :D I'd just want to avoid him interacting with them directly because playercest and all that. Nemu can mind sheep and fish!))

[Tom is unaffected and inside his dry flat, but he leans forward sharply at the sight of the tiny fish, and the voice --

His first thought is to trap the fish inside a bottle.]

... hello.

[Video]

[adstring-npc.livejournal.com]

[He can try, but the bottle would not enjoy the experience.]

Hello, fishie! Why, aren't you just the cutest little fishie-fishie ever! Where did you come from, little fishie?

[elegantthorns.livejournal.com]

Hello.

[Shuichi is looking relatively normal from the waist up, but from the waist down he has a shimmery, stereotypical mermaidman tail.

He's gotten over his shock of the situation (mostly), at least enough to smile like nothing's out of placed.]

Your name is Thalatte?

[adstring-npc.livejournal.com]

[thewinterdoe.livejournal.com]

Oh! Hello. {Lily beams at the little fish.}

[adstring-npc.livejournal.com]

[Quick swimming. It seems fascinated at the prospect.]

[iceandivory.livejournal.com]

...Well. That figures.

[adstring-npc.livejournal.com]

[assassinskeeper.livejournal.com]

Well, I must say I'd not expected one of you to actually come out here. I would invite you over for food or drink but...

[He smiles and swings the PCD around to show his unaffected house.]

I fear your environment and mine are rather incompatible at the moment.

[adstring-npc.livejournal.com]

[monklyinpink.livejournal.com]

...a little fish?

[This place just won't stop getting stranger.]

[video]

[adstring-npc.livejournal.com]

[Lots of swimming back and forth.]

[Video]

[graphices.livejournal.com]

[ .. Well, not quite what she expected to come out of that Inner City place. ]

... Are you one of those omnipotent Animus lord things I keep hearing about?

[Video]

[adstring-npc.livejournal.com]

[onnicomprensivo.livejournal.com]

[ That is... a fish. ]

[ A talking fish. ]

[ First talking elephants, now talking fish. Okay. ]

[ What. ]

A talking fish?!

[adstring-npc.livejournal.com]

[Darting around, like looking for the source of it.]

[population-ctrl.livejournal.com]

[Most people are so friendly. Have some contrast.]

If only we could go fishing.

[adstring-npc.livejournal.com]

[Doesn't seem to notice.]

[aangin-loose.livejournal.com]

Hello.

Are you going to stay out here?
