video; un:curtaincall

[The feed blinks on to show Fandaniel leaning against a metallic wall, eyes gleaming, face set in a wide grin.]

Good morrow to you, my fellow Chosen!

[He chirps and twirls, landing on his tiptoes with one hand against his heart, the other raised in greeting.]

So much is happening of late, and I have much to say, but I promise to keep it brief. [A mischievous grin suggests this may not, in fact, be brief.]

Let us start with last month. That was quite a fun little vacation from sanity, wasn't it? I apologize for my rampage. Such devastation was not my intention.

[A pause, he thoughtfully tilts his head.]

My intention was to rain my Hell upon the Courthouse, but that structure is well protected these days. Such a pity. 'Twas my understanding we had a running gag of demolishing that place. Ah, well...

...[A longer pause as he stares into the middle distance, then remembers himself. He waves his hands.]

Ahem!

On to more important matters!

As some of you may remember, I backed up our AI to my dear assistant Hyperetes. Isn't that so, Hyperetes?

[The camera bobs as something beeps.]

A few days ago the AI finally deigned to communicate. It sent me three images, which I have attached to this feed, along with a single word...

"Help".

If anyone could assist me in finding the locations in the photos, well... Do let me know. I intend to set off on my search very soon.

That is all!

'Ta!

[He starts walking away, pauses suddenly, then whirls back to the camera with a gasp.]

Oh!

One more small detail... After the AI left its message, a countdown appeared on my device. It looks to be ticking down to the eleventh or so of next month. 'Tis fine, I'm sure. Naught to worry about!

[The feed cuts off. Anyone opening the attached files will see three photos:

-The view from a beach, facing an ocean. There’s a city on the other side of the ocean – it looks like what could be a fishing village.
-Bones on the same beach, along with some vague articles of clothing.
-The sight of a tentacle, with a golden blur that looks monstrous in the background.]

Yeah, seems to be a pattern.

[One he's not really fond of.]

This one seemed worse though. Than normal, anyway.

[If there is a normal. Don't make him have to freeze you every month.]

They didn't though. Somehow it's still standing.

Please try not to burn it down again.

[He doesn't like freezing people.]

I'm guessing that's the best I'll get...

[Seems about what he expected.]

I'll take it.
