[It's past lockdown when a certain name that hasn't been seen in a while appears on the network, video feed showing the young woman trying very hard to keep it together despite being rather perturbed.]

... Hello, everyone. I'm... [Back? Up? Alive? None of the words seem to fit, but she eventually settles for--] ... awake.

[It was one thing to see another die and come back; doing so herself is quite another. Exhaling a shaky breath, she glances just off-screen, as though he wooden floor of the church she awoke in and is now stuck inside until morning will give her an answer for what to say. It doesn't, of course, so she falls back on that faithful standby of facts.]

I'm alright, physically. I still have all my senses, so... it's likely I've lost some memory, if we follow the pattern. I can't say what it might be, though.

[She knows who she is. She knows where she's from. And she knows she's been trapped in Norfinbury for at least a month, if not longer. Which, speaking of--]

... Does anyone know how long I was gone? Has anything notable happened since then I should know?

[Naaaaah.]

[Dio may not have been the best person to do this, but after this revelation, fuck it. This was much too important to let slide, and if someone was going to take into account whatever residents were left, it may as well have been him.

The video feed clicks on, darkly lit and with his intimidating presence as always. At least this time there were other, gentler people around who could come in to the feed at any point and maybe stave off some anxieties if Dio gets a little too real, but right now he wants answers, goddammit.]

This is directed to the Norfinbury residents. [As usual, Dio immediately takes what can be seen as an authoritative tone at best.] So we all know who survived, speak here so we can account for you. I would like any relevant information about what happened here, any completed maps of the town, more information about the Admin, anything you could possibly know about the monsters or giant spiders or whatever other blasted thing is here. I understand we're constantly being watched, so none of you have to say where you are if you're in hiding. We only want to speak with you and learn more about the situation.

I will expect responses as soon as possible.

[ooc: Enoch and Clayton may or may not jump in on Dio's video feed at their want, but otherwise, Dio wants answers.]

[ The post comes from @rileysung, but it's clearly Ellana's voice coming through. Her voice is hushed, maybe even a little deeper, but determined to share something. ]

I knew it. I could tell these people are a part of it. They tried to act like they didn't know what I was talking about, but they're the ones trying to shut down the protests. They have no right. I had to get away from them. I'm in a safe place, but I know they're lurking out there.

Has anyone else ran into these people? I don't know if they're undercover cops or something worse. Maybe they work for a secret organization, I don't know. But the way they're acting? It's clear they're up to something.
