[When the video starts up, Elizabeth looks... well awful. Half undressed for her, which currently involves something that suspiciously looks like Cross's shirt and her petticoats, curled up in her bed with her arms wrapped around her stomach.]

If someone could go get Raven or Kiriko. [no titles right now, she can't be bothered] Please. I drank water from the tap and now... [she grimaces and curls in on herself a little more.

Which she shuts the video off, and curls into the pillow some more, wanting this to just end. This is why she never touched the stuff, she knew it would make her ill.]

[She's actually made sure to click the video on this time, and she's... well, her Queenly self, jewels and curls and far too much silk. All very evident to the place where she's been the last two weeks because she surely had no reason to dress like this here, there was after all, no one to impress. She's addressing the feed while she took off her feathered hat, putting it down beside her on her desk, absently arranging things on the desk.]

Forgive my absence, it seems my England had need of me. 'No rest for the wicked', is the appropriate phrase is it not? [the term Loki had used for it, she quite liked it.] I cannot know how long it has been, only that it's been too early winter at home, but still apparently summer here... [which with that, off came the heavy silk jacket she was wearing, tossing it over the back of her chair, and she sits down herself.] ... and whomsoever it was that was in my dresses and things whilst I was gone, thank-you for not stealing them. [though she's fairly sure she knows who it is because there is so few women here.

Taking out a hair pin, she fiddles with it, mind far away for a moment as the light bounces off it through the window. Little rainbows reflected on the wall.] ...If, ah... [distracted again before she clears her mind of it and takes out her earrings] ... If there is anything worth telling me, as well as any changes, I should wish you to do so as soon as possible. I hope as well that the Mayor of Credinta has caused no more trouble. It would be a comfort to know there is some peace to be had in this place, and that all of you are in one piece. I know how you all like to worry me.

[The video comes on to a visual of this little guy as he plays with the buttons on the device. Klaud is behind him as they appear to be sitting on the ledge of what look to be a building. She looks pensive and... wet from the chest down, along with her hair which is let down from its normal style. There is still a portion of it covering half her face.

She looks over at Lau Jimin, the monkey, with a frown.] Fine time for a flood.



[ooc; action is also welcome if you character happens to be braving the flood water. klaud left the city and went back home while i was 'out' and just returned inside the church. in the water. it makes for a very displeased general.]

 [The video only gets turned on by mistake, because Elizabeth is clearly not paying attention. She'd just been fiddling with the thing in idleness.

The video feed is pretty evident of that. Her nose was in a book, and yes it was completely in Latin but it was on one of her favourite texts, the works of Thomas Moore, so she didn't care. It was something to read. She was sprawled out on the restored falls of the convent like a little girl. Laying on her stomach, one leg swinging through the air, her shoes kicked off somewhere near her as she read. Completely undignified.

She looked up when she heard the beep of the device, frowning for a second, before beaming earnestly. No one could ruin this for her right now.]

The convents been restored, but I found this [taps the side of the book] I'm not moving from here, beyond taking books and some of the candles and matches, are they called? That I found. I haven't looked much. [and she sighs like she just got a kiss from a lover. She's so utterly content right now, this place, it feels like home. It has that warm cloistered feel.] 

[There is a pause at first, then a strong voice with a strange way of speaking follows, and commands attention without needing to demand it with exact words.]

I would know how I came to be in this realm, this is neither Asgard nor Midgard, nor any world I have seen before. If any have information, it would be greatly welcomed, and the location of the one known as Loki is crucial to me.

[A pause and he sighs.] Brother, if you are within this realm, you will come to me immediately. We have things we must discuss in person. [He isn't sure what else to say, or even if he's being heard by anyone, talking into this contraption, so he finally just ends it there.]

[Lin appears for the second time on the network, looking significantly better than before. The blood on her clothes has faded to slight stains, her frostbite has been reduced to light scars, and her eyes are bright and full of life again. However, being alive has done nothing for her mood. She glares at the screen sourly.]

I read that stupid information package of yours. I'm surprised I actually believe that crap.

[She sighs.]

It's Mayuzumi Lin. Pleasure to meet you.

[That wasn't said with an ounce of sincerity.]

So. In this kind of situation, it's important to share resources. Do we have some kind of... schedule? For who does what, and who gets what? I'll put in my share as long as everyone else puts in theirs.

Look, I don't like any of you, either. I'm not here to be anybody's friend.

But if any of you hide something from me... You're going to pay. Are we clear?

[The feed ends abruptly.]

[ this time when Tyki turns on the feed he looks even more bored than before. ] There really isn't that many forms of entertainment here, are there? Apart from blood showers and the like.

I guess that means we just have to make our own amusement. I don't suppose anyone has a pack of cards somewhere.


[ he's about to shut the screen off when he remembers he has one more things to address; ]

And-- Elizabeth, was it? I'm ready to go whenever you are.
