[Victor is sitting in his room looking none too impressed. He's also looking a little different from the last time anyone saw him—despite the poor quality of video, his eyes are very red, and his skin is deathly pale. Practically grey. It blends in weirdly with his bleached hair.

There are shadows flapping around above him. Three guesses as to what they are.]

Greetings and salutations, my fair numberly friends. It appears that I just can't leave you all for very long, sadly. I was quite enjoying having my apartment to myself again.

If anyone would like to fill me in on what's been going on, it would be much appreciated. You can skip the part about the water. Thank god the fabric store is so dead on Wednesday nights, I doubt there's much I could say to explain suddenly turning goth and laughing like a maniac.

... Ah, speaking of— Julia, she seems to have forgotten around the same time I did. I can't say for sure if she'll remain oblivious, but if anyone was wondering what happened to her, well. Now you know.

Someone went missing? [He says it with a curious tone, frowning uncertainly.] ... As in, she didn't simply forget about the network or leave the city by her own will. She actually went missing?

[not quite believing it yet, but... he doubts it would be worth bringing up at all if it wasn't something serious.]

[Short, constrained head-shake.] No -- they -- said that they found a recording of her at the -- police - station. ...I don't know if they found anything more than that. [String of unease pulled taut in his tone - he was hasty on this, it's bad news that he has nothing conclusive to say on; maybe someone else will come along after with a more complete story. Hopefully.]

That's... concerning. And no one's heard from her at all since then?

Do we know why she was targeted?

I don't know if we do -- I'm - sorry... -- but I'm - still sure no one has heard from her -- Karson Valenti said that -- she - had a girlfriend who - said she was missing, too.
