History is the version of past events

[There's a clearing of a throat, yet the voice sounds rather unused. Because for a week it hadn't been used at all.]

Lavi here, just saying that I'm back and lessons will continue like normal. First group, I'll see you tomorrow, second group the next day. I'm still not up to having a class right now. However if you need help with something I'm on the top floor, room 905. Sorry to all those I worried, I just...needed to get away. [Again.]

I see that we got another new round of people, sorry that you're stuck here with us. But we can always use more hands on getting this place ready to survive another winter. My name's Lavi and I'm the resident encyclopedia if you will, I know a couple of languages and am in the process of teaching Russian to a fair number of your fellow kidnapped. If you'd like to join up, let me know. If you have any questions not answered, you can ask me if you like and I'll try to answer them the best I can. Our normal Q&A-er for newcomers has managed to get himself lost again.

[Private to MIKK (AU)]

You mind having a spar with me, I still need to let out some steam. I'd ask Kanda but... Not ready to see his face yet.

[Private to CROSS and/or LINK (DGM) and ALLEN (if he's around)]

Have you seen Allen lately? I don't think he's gone home, Libitina should have left some kind of marker if she had lost her hold on him or something.

[Private to LENALEE]

Are you still here...?

I know that some of you have expressed an interest in learning the native language around here. And I know that I've already offered to teach a fair number of you. General Cross - while helping us with other tasks - also knows the language though I'm not sure that he'd like me much for offering his lessons as well, so I'll keep it to just me. We'll need something to do in the winter months and lessons seemed like a good idea on keeping warm.

So far I know that I'm helping both Almas, Kiriko, and [Insert a name here that mun forgot because her memory is not like Lavi's.]. And I'm still helping Yorda with her English.

I'm going to go search around the school tomorrow and see if I can salvage what hasn't already been salvaged for writing materials and the like. If I don't find anything I'll be taking the chalkboard I put up on the bridge asking for aid down and use that. But the lessons will encompass speaking, reading, and writing of the language as well as learning their currency. We don't know when it might come in handy.

If you'd like to sign up, feel free to say so. We'll probably be meeting after noon to make the most of the light outside until winter.

Er...guys?

I... I can't get Tettsui to activate. At all. [Mutters:] Maybe I broke it... It's still in one piece and I don't think it took it's choice back but... I had to use the stairs yesterday and today because of it.

Is anyone having problems using their powers or weapons or whatever from home?

[There's just a shot of a rather pretty river pebble, the size of a worry stone or something. And then a rather gruff voice from behind.]

You can have it whenever we can see again, Rhode. Because I still have no idea where you are, nor do I care to know.

[A shot clicks on of a blackboard or dark pieces of furniture with the words (big in Russian and small in English):

❛Need food and medical supplies. Have women and children. Please help.❜

The view zooms out to show it's on the bridge and behind it is their mostly destroyed "home". It turns to show the other side of the bridge, guards glaring at the person behind the camera. The camera spins again - sorry to those with motion sickness - and comes to rest on Lavi. Who has yet another bloodied cloth on his person, this time around his forehead, the blood near his temple, yet despite the injury he's smiling.]

Think it'll work? Or should I add that we won't approach while anyone's here?

[The feed clicks on with the view of a rather red-nosed Lavi, though his forehead also seems to be the same shade, he has a bloody tissue held under his nose.]

Can't say that I'm very thrilled with being sent here in the first place but the light posts don't seem to be very welcoming at all to me. Hard and painful things to be walking into when you're looking around to get your bearings.

[He lowers the tissue and grabs a clean one, stuffs some up both nostrils and pinches his nose, voice coming out sounding funny.]

Got a question for those that are listening out there, since I'd rather not take information from one of those other people. Got a rather nasty look from one of them earlier. Where exactly is this, yeah? Though if I get any response I'm guessing that there's no readily available exit.

Suppose I should also ask if there's anyone here that knows of the Black Order or are a part of it.

Those of you playing adstringendum, please friend remove this journal.

I will not delete any of the entries, so the CR may remain in place and what not.

Best wishes for the game! ♥
