( as always, he's trying to make this as short as possible, but it's hard to even know where to stop with the way his voice carries into the charm. it's likely going to come out all wrong, but: he figures it's like posting something on the notice board in the slums. no one's going to listen to it, right? )
Looking to head back out into the forest to see if there's any trace of the people that went missing.
Figured it might be best to find someone, or someones, to come with me. Not looking to become one of the missing myself.
Some questions if you're considering it...
One, are you afraid of ghosts?
Two, how do you react when you're scared?
( --and then, with a measured sigh: )
My name is Cloud. Blonde hair, big sword. If you're worried, I'm pretty good at keeping people alive, but.
( imagine if he had just, you know, done a video. )

(some might recognize him, some definitely won't, but here's a bandaged man, with his palms together under his chin, a smile, and a very energetic voice. one, two, three...!)
Good morning, citizens of Aldrip! My name is Dazai Osamu, coming right to you with a newly scheduled entertainment option! This is the first take of my radio show, which I'm yet to name! If you have suggestions, I'm open to hearing them, leave them anonymously, or tell me who you are!
Here, we will solve problems, talk about current events, and discover things about our community! Please, if you may, leave what's weighing in your hearts to me, and I'll see what we can do about it! Name or no name, we are all welcome here. Let's see, let's see...! Ah, yes! I have a single one, but I will let you decide on the answer for today! A-hem.
(and this is where he picks a paper, a pair of glasses that definitely doesn't have any properties in the lenses, clears his throat, and he begins:)
"I hate my roommate, and I would like to annoy them as much as humanly possible. Do you have any tips and tricks for me?"
Well, the people have spoken! What is your take, Aldrip? What would you tell this poor soul?
See you soon, on the next episode of Unnamed Radio Show, by Dazai Osamu!

Hello all! For those of you who haven't yet met me, I'm Ethlyn.
I've started working in one of the clinics here, and it's both familiar and not... and it's become clear to me that the places we all come from are far more different than I could have imagined.
So I'd like to ask you about how medicine is in your homelands. Where I'm from, we use magic to heal wounds cleanly and quickly, but we don't always know what causes illness and infirmity. How are things for you--do you use magic to heal, or do you have to rely on technique?
As well as that--who else is a healer themselves? (And: can you ride?)

( marc still isn't entirely sure where he falls on the 'is this actually real?' question he's asked himself more than a handful of times since finding himself here, since finding the parchment with his crime(s).
still: it feels real enough, and for now that's enough.
he's dressed in a suit — it's white in its entirety, with small crescent moons serving as buttons and cufflinks. it's — fine. it's an outfit that says he — before here, at least — probably spent a small fortune on dry cleaning, and begs the question of how long it's going to stay looking Like That (answer: not long).
with one leg crossed over the other, there's a breath of a pause before he speaks. this isn't how he normally does this, but then, this isn't normal by any — even his — definition of the word. )
My name is Mr. Knight. ( is it? of course not, but there's nothing to marc's demeanour that says otherwise; and for those familiar, his accent says 'chicago!' ) I'm a priest. ( certainly, by A Definition, and by that, we mean 'by marc spector's definition and no-one else's, except (maybe) an ancient egyptian moon god's'. )
At home, I ran a mission — the Midnight Mission — through which I protected my community and my people. Travellers of the night. ( a breath of a pause and he holds up a hand (gloved, white, because of course) and gestures vaguely at his surroundings. ) A change in circumstances doesn't change my duty. If there's anyone that requires help or assistance with, ( at night, because marc is Dedicated, ), no matter how strange or unusual, please don't hesitate to reach out.

[At first, there's just audio as Aerith is figuring out how this little trinket works. A phone would be easier, wouldn't it? As video comes on, she lifts a hand and wiggles her fingers in greeting.]
Hellllooooo!
[If it seems like she's too cheery, that very likely might be the case. Despite the situation and bizarre circumstances, she's chosen to approach all of this with a great deal of optimism. Smile, and the world smiles with you, goes the saying.]
I understand a lot of us are kind of going through the same thing and it's probably very easy to focus on what we don't know, but I thought it might be kind of nice to have the reminder that we have a common goal. So whether you arrived here with friends or without them, you're not alone! You have the rest of us, too.
[Gesturing to herself, she continues.]
My name's Aerith and I didn't arrive with very much, but if there's something I can help you out with, make sure you let me know and I'll do my best! Also, if you're having trouble finding a place to stay, I'm sharing a room here with my bodyguard, but I'm sure he won't mind too much if we make a little more room for you.
[You're welcome, Cloud.]

{He is fastidious about his appearance, brushing off imagined pieces of dust and grime with delicate hands. Runyu is not a tall man nor does he look particularly strong, yet jumping to conclusions about his abilities would be a mistake. Before you stands the Emperor of Heaven, though he earned the title through underhanded means.}
I am not practiced at welcome speeches. However I will do my best. {He clears his throat and stands with all the pride he can scrape together in this moment.} I am Runyu, son of Emperor Tai Wei and Princess Su Li. You need not fear me if you have done nothing wrong.
{His gaze sharpens as if he can detect wrongdoers through the device.}
Yet if you have committed this crime against me, I will not be merciful. You have removed the Emperor of Heaven from his duties and now hold him prisoner. Kidnap on this scale can only result in your death.
{Those are big words for someone who doesn't have an army to back him up, but Runyu is, perhaps understandably, mad. Furious, actually.}
Furthermore, if you have harmed my wife... {A chill climbs his spine. Soon, she could be his wife. He must return to her!} I will kill you myself.
{His hands curl into white fists as if he imagines snapping necks with his bare fingers. He could.}
