[Quark had done his best to get the entirety of his panic attack out before addressing the network. If he had a choice, he wouldn’t be doing this at all—but he doesn’t. When he was dying, he could pick and choose who he told before his name showed up on the obituary. Now, he needs all the help he can get, from anyone who he can get it from. He let himself cry and scream and panic when he woke up in a body bag, when he fell out of it onto the stone cold floor, and most of all when he discovered what he’d lost. It took him until pretty late into the night before he thought he had a reign on his emotions.

But then he opens his mouth, and all the fear bubbles up again unbidden, choking his words and making them tearful. Every breath of air he takes makes him feel like he’s dragging.]

It’s Quark. I’m back but I—I really need help. I’m at the chapel, can somebody please come get me? I can’t—can’t—

[He takes a deep, shuddering breath.]

I can’t walk.

Warnings: N/A, will update if needed.

( and not enough blood in the waves )

[The video begins with a shot up Charles' nose before he moves the camera up and out to the rest of his face- mostly the left half of his face, actually. There's blood smeared on his forehead, and he looks pale. Also pissed.]

Okay, listen. First things first, we didn't start it. Second things... second, he's not dead. For now.

And third thing, I would just really like to know who the hell this guy is.

[The tablet is turned around to show a body on the ground, face down. A hand comes into frame, and it's heavily but sloppily bandaged, red soaking through. There might be one fewer finger there than there's supposed to be. The hand tentatively grabs the nearest shoulder- there's a muttered-] shit- [And then the man on the ground is rolled over. It's Beckett, for those who recognize him, though Charles, clearly, does not. He's unconscious, and there's blood on his face, too. Mostly near his mouth.]

This asshole, I'm pretty sure he just swallowed my goddamn finger, and you probably don't wanna see what he did to Charlie. I don't really wanna smash his face in with a hammer, but it's also really kinda tempting.

[Charles brings the tablet back up to himself.]

For now I just need to know: who is this guy? And why the hell did he just try to kill us?

[A pause. Charles looks uncertain about this next part. Wary, maybe.]

Also... are there... any... doctors listening? I think Charlie might be in trouble.

[Aymeric comes into the feed with the top of a champagne bottle to his side and a book in his hand. It is entitled "Cabin on the Hill". The image is just of a typical wooden lodge, the book itself is a creased paperback.]

Good Evening, ladies and gentlemen of Norfinbury. My name is Aymeric de Borel, and I found a piece of writing in a personal library that could shed some light on the situation we are all in. I have read a couple chapters, it seems to be an account of life here as the snow overwhelmed its inhabitants. I've gotten to the part where the snow began to fall, so I would like to read the passage aloud for everyone's benefit.

[He clears his throat, taking a moment to find where he was.]

( The snow came down quickly now... )

Edit: Now filtered from Kesara, Quark, Frisk, Jim, Alphonse, Emily, Zell, Jade, Tavros, Sora, Ecks, and Steph. Sorry kids!

Riddle for you guys -- what has two eyes, two arms, and devilishly good looks?

[ Rhys appears onscreen, wiggling not one, but two sets of fingers -- one distinctly yellow and robotic. He's batting his eyelids, which looks incredibly ridiculous but does draw attention to his blue eye. As if the unnatural pale light it's giving off in the dark isn't enough. ]

This guy! Can't run much beyond simple diagnostics here, bu-u-ut everything's coming up Rhys! For once! ...okay the whole hospital morgue thing was a complete bust but still.

[ He flashes a big, bright smile. Euphoria is a hell of a natural painkiller, folks. ]

Attached myself to the tablet -- I know, I know, but I've learned my lesson about hacking the network. Just wanted to see how warped the drive --

[ Abruptly -- perhaps worryingly -- Rhys' video cuts off.

A brief text follows: ]

[Fiona looks super happy right now! Or, more accurately, exhausted and irritated. She adjusts her hat absently.]

Alright, I'm opening the floor here. Time to share your oh so important opinions, Norfinbury. What do you think of the Admin? Poor, persecuted baby who never did anything wrong and needs us to ride valiantly to her rescue, or evil mastermind who's manipulating all of us? Do you trust her or not? Does anyone else think this whole "find the center" thing sounds like it might be a big old trap?

[After a pause, she quirks an eyebrow, then adds, almost as an afterthought:]

And by the way, fuck you, Robert Miller.
