I wear a demeanor made of bright pretty things [Semi-Open]

[espigeonage]

Who: Julien and whoever decided to come with him! See the plot post.
Where: The Locke City Reservoir, maybe an hour's drive west of the city center. It's a fair-sized lake surrounded by forest, with a shoreline that is mostly inclined gravel. It's not suited to canoeing or camping and isn't a recreation site, but the area isn't exactly off limits either.
When: Sunday the 11th! Forwards-dated slightly.
What: Finding the source of the contaminated water.

005 ♦ Video/Open (backdated to Thursday)

[peacefulwinter]

[As the feed clicks on, Winter's sitting in a public park - it's not particularly crowded today, so it doesn't seem like there's anyone else nearby. Perhaps more noticeable is that she's trying hard not to laugh, and not really succeeding; there's a sports bottle sitting next to her, and there's a noticeable shaking to the camera, to say nothing of Winter herself. Raquel's sitting in her lap, looking more worried than anything.]

I w-wanted... hehe... to see what happened for myself. It's been- haa... weird to s-see pulses again... a-and- ha, ha... I think I saw a n-new one... [She bursts into a giggling fit, unable to continue for a moment.]

I think your priorities are a little out of order... but suit yourself.

H-hey, it s-surprised me... hehe... oh, my sides... A-anyway, that n-new pulse is... ah... a little unsettling... It's a-about... that pink-haired g-girl... and not-me... haa... I think she l-likes me...

[Winter falls into another laughing fit, the camera falling to the ground; Raquel evidently hasn't heard this yet, as the expression on his face as it drops is shocked. The feed cuts out after another few seconds.]

01 - video

[neopianangst]

[This new face on the network is, unsurprisingly, looking pretty confused. Looks like screwing around on his laptop found him something unusual.]

Um...What's going on here? I mean, am I just going crazy or something?

[A pause. Shinji fidgets nervously a bit.]

Yeah, that has to be it, actually. I bet I'm really just sitting here talking to myself. Which just makes me even more crazy, I guess.

Who: Alex Kusnitz and Anthony Janvier
When: August 11
Where: John Mitchell's apartment.
What: Someone (or someones) might as well hang back and keep an eye on things while the reservoir investigation is underway - or indulge in a bit of peaceful hanging about. Relatively peaceful, that is, what with the water situation being taken care of as we speak.

( I'd say we might be laughing about this later, but, ah... )

02 | video - laptop webcam

[extricated]

[ the video is fixed on what seems to be a backyard, although it's rather -- unique. for one, there are a lot of feeders hanging from the trees, and plenty of squirrels and birds around eating at them. for another, there is a chicken coop, although its residents are happily wandering outside of it for the time being. there's also what appears to be a vegetable garden in the far corner.

when he begins to talk from behind his laptop, he speaks asfastasever -- perhaps even a little quicker than usual? -- and it might be difficult at times to make out certain words. ]

Well... I thought perhaps the water was making me hallucinate at first, but I don't think that's the case. I can understand them... the animals, I mean. I think they can understand me too, but it's hard to tell. The chickens are easiest to talk to, but I think that's because I've raised them here for so long. Squirrels make for more interesting conversational partners, though.

[ ... ]

Does anybody have a housepet that I could try talking to for a few moments? 

I'd just like to confirm that this really isn't... a hallucination, or something.

hello, IT. have you tried turning it off and on again? | open;
