[Video] un: foxtales

[byanyother_name]

[The initial video opening just displays a new sign on the wall of the common room. It looks like someone managed to find a piece of whiteboard and an erasable marker to incorporate into the sign. What does the sign say?

10 weeks without murder

Yes, you read that right. The whiteboard part is where the 10 is written with marker. It's clearly been made to be regularly updated. Kurama's voice when he speaks is...close to his usual calm tones but a little tense.]

Many of the people here will wonder why this sign is needed. The people who need it know why. I am one of the first group to fall through the Fissures, so this encompasses the entire history we know of of outsiders in this world.

I'm going to keep it updated appropriately, since...there might be more of us, apparently.

I would like to ask that no one tamper with the sign except for accurate updates. This is not a prank and it is not for pranks. It's for people that have suffered.

[Too many. As far as Kurama is concerned, even one is too many.]

It...changes you. Sometimes for the better, sometimes for the worse. But either way, it leaves scars behind.

I understand you mean well, Wren.

[She doesn't respond to the first sentence, merely lowering her head somewhat in commiseration. When he addresses her by name, though, she blinks and raises a hand to her neck awkwardly.]

Er, I'm sorry, you have me at a disadvantage...?

[byanyother_name]

My apologies. I know your brother and I've been attentive to the network and the sign-up sheets for the rooms.

[What he means is, he's too clever and too nosy and probably can match names to usernames to faces for most of the people that were here before this latest influx whether he's really spoken to them or not.]

My name is Kurama.

[thoroff]

Oh! Well, it's a pleasure to meet you, Kurama.

[She smiles.]

Any friend of my brother's is a friend of mine.

[byanyother_name]

It's a pleasure for me, as well.

I've appreciated your brother's understanding greatly. [Especially back in the forest...]

[thoroff]

He is rather good at that, isn't he?

[Gods know she would have drowned under the pressures of her work long ago if she didn't have his shoulder to lean on.]
