Fourteenth Message [Text | Handwritten -> Video | Sheet of Paper]

[scramasax]

[Slow and steadily handwritten text in pen:]

This is Anthony. I apologize to anyone who it bothers. However, I am going to switch to video. Excuse me, please.

[The words stay in place with no change in the transmission for between four and five seconds.

It shifts to visual with a hoarse and mumbled "Hello."

When it switches to video Anthony looks no different than he did in his last message - except, of course, rather more composed. At the least relatively - he still looks uneasy. Shoulders distinctly hunched making himself not timidly but anxiously somewhat small in the frame. Eyes don't go fully unlidded, blinking rapid, less-obviously brow slightly knitted and eyes themselves wandering one way and then the other.

His fingers are laced and hands resting from where he had them clasped in front of them before shifting method of communication - also not-so-obvious twitch in his face that'd be a little too quick to catch as some misgiving polite obligatory smile even if his face was in the state it was in April.]

-- I er...

-- thought it - may - be - good -- to mention... that I... -- know from experience that I -- cannot die. -- Normally... [This is cagier than he hopes it sounds, as it's more than he can actually claim to know for a fact.] If -- ...there's a fight -- any time soon -- ...if - we're -- ge - getting attacked, again, I, erm. ... -- Won't mind -- if I can -- ...be - there.

[Less-than-forthright way to say that he hopes to.]

Uhm. That's all -- thank - ...Thank you...

[In a moment his shoulders hunch even deeper and he cringes away from the screen before dusting the page aside and cutting the feed.]

[[There's a bit of a pause because ideas.]]

There might be more I can do. Just have to figure out how and get someone to help. I haven't given up on you so don't you give yourself up for cannon fodder, got it?

[Via text he is left without method of discerning that those ideas are present; he scans that "might be more" as theoretical and not the start of an actual specific-thing-more.]

I am not giving up... I promise. If the way I am cannot be changed, then I want it to be more than a problem.

[Text] Did you want Anthony to spot Bakura's follow up on the idea?

[shiromadoushi]

Getting you self beat up isn't going to help. We'll find another way.


Have any luck finding out stuff on those symbols yet?
