PRIVATE VISITOR NETWORKS ONLY

[VIDEO]

Okay guys, listen up. I'm sure you've noticed that we've got a SERIOUS PR problem developing. As far as everybody else in town seems to be concerned, we're either celebrities or we're leeches and trouble magnets, and either way the longer we ignore this situation the more we're going to destabilize things. To that end, I think we need to band together and find ways to reach out to the natives, help them realize we're on their sides too. I'd like to propose starting a group to brainstorm ideas, work on PR, and generally work on our outreach. Otherwise, we may end up finding ourselves isolated, and that's not going to work at all.

Right now, though, we need a couple things: a place to meet, and a time. Is there anybody who could offer something like that? Someplace safe... and secure.

*There's an odd emphasis he places on "secure" for some reason.*

[She curtsies deeply to the camera before bringing it close.]

Good day everyone, and welcome to all of our newcomers! My name is Elizabeth Middleford, and I hail from Her Majesty Queen Victoria's time. If you are a Londoner around, do feel free to ask for my apartment number so you can drop by for tea. If you aren't a Londoner, feel free to ask anyways! I do love meeting new people, and I would certainly love the chance to entertain you and help you get settled into the city life. It's quite unlike any city life you've had before, to be sure!

[She clears her throat and smooths down the front of her dress a little nervously.]

There is a matter of business that I must attend to, as well, since I'm here and recording. Miss Ruri and I have been working on getting her ship Nadesico into working order to become a boarding house, and now it's ready. As of today, we are opening it to any and all ladies who wish to join. To be quite honest, I'm not sure how well-received it will be or how to manage it if some of you do decide to join, but I promise that the foundations will remain true to any other boarding house. The Nadesico will be your haven and home if you so wish it, with sisters who can support you through times of trouble, if you so need it.

[She smiles brightly.]

That is all I have to say, thank you for listening.

The First Move [Audio -> Video]

Very impressive, Sebastian. [The words seem to come from a distance. But the gasp that follows them is much closer.] ...

How the hell did I - [The speaker cuts his words short. He senses that he's not alone and it isn't long before he finds the recorder.]

Video? [It's said awkwardly like he doesn't know what it is or what it could possibly entail. Luckily he doesn't have to think about it for long. The screen pops up - as if on cue - and he is...

Being recorded.

Despite his less than welcoming frown, Ciel is a prettyhandsome boy in a Weston College school uniform. Though something must have happened to his right eye. It's covered by an eye-patch.]


This technology is foreign to me. If anyone happens to be listening [He can't imagine he's being seen on multiple screens!] I would appreciate some assistance. My name is Ciel Phantomhive and I need to return to Weston College.

[text] Welcome to Hinoto-Ri...?

My name is Ideo, I'm one of the first arrivals here. If anyone has any questions that they have not received answers to, feel free to ask here. I will do my best to answer if I am able to, or at least direct you to someone who can.

[Compared to his previous network post, this is much more brief and much less showy- he's probably hard at work trying to see if he can help with the teleportation fiasco.]

[Good afternoon, Hinoto-Ri. It seems like many new arrivals have decided to introduce themselves on the network after settling in, and Yuusei here does follow the trend, although... in a slightly different manner. The feed opens to show the young man sitting on the bed in his apartment, staring at a single card in his hand with a thoughtful expression. The silence may be long enough to make one wonder whether he's actually aware he's being recorded, but any doubts should be resolved as he addresses anyone who might be watching this.]

... "Persona Duels"...

[He finally lifts his gaze from the card to the camera, curiosity visible on his face.]

Does anyone know more about those?

[... Apparently introductions can wait in this one's mind, and he has much more interesting things to investigate.]

[The video turns on to a man who looks eternally bored.]

I guess this is the part where I pretend to be in a support group and introduce myself, huh?

Well, hi, I'm Gabriel, and I've been in your city for a few hours now.

Let's see...I'm from Earth--sort of, I enjoy movies--on occasion, pastries--or anything sweet, and long walks on the beach--in certain temperatures.

[He claps his hands together as if closing the issue.]

But enough about me, let's hear about you...what sort of lovely people do we have assembled here?

[With a raise of one eyebrow, Gabriel cuts off the feed. Either he'd get answers or he wouldn't. It was really just to find some sort of distraction.

Despite his bravado and aloofness, he was still a little shaken up...but he certainly wasn't going to show that..if he could help it.]

--on? I don't think I'll ever-- oh, it says its recording.

[Lizzie pulls away from the camera so that her face is visible, but she's holding it at an odd tilt, betraying her lack of knowledge with technology. For one brief moment uncertainty flashes in her eyes, but then she is smiling politely and speaking confidently.]

Good day, everyone. I hope this finds you well, and that you've been able to settle down properly. My name is Elizabeth Middleford, and, like you, I've been brought here very suddenly from my own time and world. There are some things I've noticed that I'd like to ask about, now that I have the chance.

Firstly, is there anyone here that was taken as far back as the late 19th century around Queen Victoria's reign? I was taken from the year 1890 and I would very much like to make the acquaintance of anyone who was from that time, or any English gentlemen or ladies in general.

Secondly, seeing as we have several young ladies like myself in this city, I would like to extend my hand in friendship to you all and suggest something of a boarding house for us to live or spend time together in. In my time, boarding schools were meant to give its residents a sense of community with each other, as well as offer emotional support. I believe many of us could benefit from that in this city. If anyone is interested, I'll see to finding us an appropriate building and other such business things so we can all be settled comfortably as soon as possible.

[She pauses, and then a fierce blush rises over her cheeks despite her efforts to remain composed.]

Lastly...as I am from an older time than most, I find that my outfits and dress are...well, equally as outdated in comparison to the other ladies here. A-And I am very, very sorry and ashamed to bring up such a private and embarrassing matter over such a public forum, but I will need help getting dressed in the morning. I, um...I need someone to lace up my corset, you see, it's very difficult to do on one's own, my maid Paula usually did it for me back at home...but as Paula isn't here, I would be grateful to any young lady who could spare a few minutes every morning to help lace me up.

[Cheeks still burning from humiliation, Lizzie gives the camera a small nod before fumbling and turning it off.]
