Twenty-Fifth Message [Video | Sheet of Paper]

[scramasax]

[On comes a video feed to the same room that Anthony broadcasted from the past couple times.

There's a bit of silence, and a good amount of nothing otherwise. The first sound that does come in is some slow, dragging breath, entirely to stall. It picks up a measure of voice into:]

I, umm --

[He lops that off, and having used that as a begging-your-pardon, reaches a hand that looks the way one'd expect an undead hand to look up to the top edge of the frame, pulls it out of the way, and leans himself into it.

He doesn't look much worse than he has in the past, bar the two empty eye sockets - one with a small something red flashing and embedded in the back and the other one plain dark and empty.

Latter one blinks, and he husks out proper words again - a bit thick, yet not in a lower tone rather than on-edge high.]

I think -- we should, uhh... col - collect and - share - information on, uhm. Different types of -

[He knows what he means to say, but he doesn't have a script to go off of, blast it - can't remember what he pinned as the least-impolite word.

He settles for the obvious and indelicate one instead.]

...Umm -- "monsters". For the network.

At least, uh - one-one other person said that we should... To -- to contradict misconceptions, and, to -- give, uh -- give advice, to -- people who are turning...

If -- there are... going to be more of us, er -- perhaps it would be best to have something ready...

[Runs a little thin and tightens up just short of inflection like a question.]

I - I don't know -- if... we should... do it, er - if we should just talk uhh about -- things we've had, erm - experience being, or things that we've seen -- in our visions, but uh, what if - what if, erm.

We offer our own numbers, to -- "call", erm... about - about things we're able to talk about...?

[That part creaks off - that bit's kind of a rehashing of a thought he's had before, but honestly, another component's attached itself - it wouldn't only be worthwhile (assuming anything would be worthwhile) to offer support but to offer something to meet curiosity, would it? They're technically not strictly demanded to hide - might be worth something for mutants to practice serving as their own spokespeople.]

[The sigh sounds worth taking into account.

His own voice is sort of cowed-soft. Dragging and lightly-puffing along.]

-- Uhmm. How uh - do you mean? If -- I may ask...

I'm - I understand, I'm just - wondering - ...

[If there's anything Xander's worrying about in particular.]

Call me paranoid, but I'm concerned that there are people on here that may be passing on information to our 'enemies'. [Thanks to Regina for suggesting to be wary of everyone and trouble Ray landed himself in to.] We don't want to give them a possible weak point to exploit.

[A small pause.]

...I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said that. You have enough things to worry about as is.
