Adventure 20 | [Video]

[italktofish]

[Look, everyone, it's Arthur! And he's standing there in front of a fish tank with a tiny Thanksgiving diorama set up inside. Next to him is a box that looks like a brand-new turkey-sized deep fryer. Arthur playing with oil and fire, nothing could go wrong there.]

Hey, guys, so I know Thanksgiving's this week, and since not everyone can get home to their families, I thought I'd offer to have everyone over here to my place! You can bring some food with you if you want, but I think I have everything under control!

[He'll pat the turkey fryer. This Thanksgiving, cooking is going to be an ADVENTURE.]

I've got a tofurkey, and I'm making all the fixings myself! And I already bought a bunch of frozen pies--I found an OUTRAGEOUS sale! So just let me know if you want to come so I know how much food to make!

There will be an announcement in the next few days. Things may start moving fast. Use the number attached for information you've found. It will be active starting at the beginning of the month. If someone can get an encrypted server up to store information asap, that would be great.

Don't stop contacting me through network posts for simple things. I'll need to keep appearances up. I'll do my best to keep the heat off of anyone who doesn't want it, but things might start getting interesting very soon. If you don't think you're up for it, disregard this message.

[[As stated, she's attached a number. If you are to try it, you'll find it is inactive.]]


[off-network text to Ez]

Something's going to be happening in the next few days, and I need you to try not to freak out when it does. Things aren't set in stone yet, so I can't give you any details. I'm sorry. I know this probably isn't what you want to hear.

I need your help with a few things.


[off-network text to Brooke]

Any word on the city morgue job? I may have secured an interesting position myself. No sure deal yet, I'll know in a few days. I'm sure you've heard about the Starlit Stage/Starling-Chandler collaboration, right?


[off-network text to Richard]

I can't elaborate, but Zelos gave me this number. I don't know if he told you. He said if I needed to contact him to do it through you, for appearance reasons. I thought it was only proper to let you know personally.

I also wanted to thank you for your encouraging words. They meant a lot.


[private to Marisa]

I've been meaning to do this for a while. That giant laser spell you used at the beginning of the month, how did you do it? Let's compare notes.

[It wasn't his original intention to simply disappear for so long. The move had, certainly, made John exceptionally busy, but the last few weeks had him avoiding the network for an entirely different reason--one that he didn't even really want to bring up to his friends. Still, trying to ignore the cause of his problems wasn't going to get him anywhere, which was why, with a heavy sigh, John was fishing out his phone and tapping his number into the device.

The video feed opens up with him looking a little sheepishly at the camera, a tired smile gracing his features. There's the slightest tremble to his hands, but he's quick to hide a jostling view by setting his phone down on the table. John clears his throat quietly and manages a tiny laugh.]

It's been a while, yeah? Sorry, I've... been a bit preoccupied.

[He scrubs a hand through his hair, not really sure where he's even going with this. For the briefest of moments, John considers letting the network know about his new, ah, condition, but he's quick to brush that aside, smiling much brighter this time.]

I moved. [The feed goes dark for a moment before John treats the network to a view of his new apartment, complete with stacks upon stacks of boxes.] Anthony's here, too.

[He goes quiet for a moment, trying to figure out what to say next.]

I've had a few people fill me in on a handful of things, but I suppose that's all on my end. Who's doing what nowadays, hm? [He grins.] And did anyone actually miss me?

[John's flattering himself now, but whatever. Anything to keep them from asking unbecoming questions, right?]
