[ His expression is mostly drawn, thoughtful, and grouchy as per usual. ]

I think once Klaus is back in one piece, we should probably start some private family training. Prim, I'd like you to come and if you don't feel comfortable joining, at least maybe you can pick up a few things that might help in a pinch just by watching.

I know we already talked about it a little, Klaus, but I might as well put it out there to the group. Some of us are rusty. Some of us have a lot to learn. Either way, people are going missing at a pretty uncomfortable rate, according to the local paper, and when you add that to the attacks on Supers?

Out of all of us, I'm probably the last one interested in picking up Dad's training to restart the Academy and go out and play superheroes, but it sure as shit wouldn't hurt to at least brush up on the skills. And...if I'm being entirely honest, maybe it wouldn't kill us to try to help find some of the missing locals. There are kids being hit with whatever the hell is happening. A nine-year-old girl isn't the one hurting Supers, but one is among the missing. I don't care about the Academy but...I've got enough blood on my hands. Maybe helping a little bit might wash some of that off.

[ His brow creases a little and he frowns, then looks away briefly before looking back at the camera, shrugging, and sighing. ]

I don't know. Either way, we should train. When are you all free?

[ It's hard to tell where she is when the video starts. She's standing against a basic white wall, the lighting is a little dim, but you can clearly see her face. She looks tired, and more than a little annoyed, but not overly surprised. She's staring at something past her camera, but after a moment seems to remember that she's actually recording, and her eyes shift to look at the device she's talking in to. ]

So...hi. Does anyone who does this manage to not sound awkward?

[ She shifts uncomfortably and glances past the camera again just briefly. ]

I'm Vanya. Hargreeves. Vanya Hargreeves. I guess I'm new? And not exactly thrilled that this is Flordia. But here we are.

[ There's a bit of a pause as she struggles to find something else to say to the camera, but whoops, you failed at that one Vanya. ]

Anyway...it got awkward. So...yeah, bye.

Hello. For those of you that don’t know me, my name is Allison Hargreeves. Over the last few weeks I’ve been working on opening up a new business around here, but earlier this week that ‘vision’ changed to focus on something different, and something that I think is needed more.

Eglaf doesn’t really have a place where Supers can spar, or train, or learn self defense if they don’t already know it from home. Yes, there are gyms around but let’s face it - a lot of us have abilities that don’t ‘fit’ that mold, and some have powers that make it hard to train with other humans.

( So, let’s train with each other, and learn from each other. )

IN PERSON; CLOSED TO PRIM
( cut for length )

TEXT; CLOSED TO ALLISON, BEN & KLAUS
How long was I gone? Also...we need to talk about home. In person and soon.

TEXT; SIRIUS BLACK
It's Number Five. I'm going to need a new mirror. How long will it take you?

[ He knows that sounds rude as hell, but after the last week and change he's had, in addition to taking into account the fact that he's trying to be intentionally vague and figures Sirius will appreciate that, he doesn't have a whole lot of energy left to give a shit about that. ]

[Prim's eyes are redrimmed, teary, and her cheeks are still wet. And a smuch as she understands that she should probably try and be strong for Five's siblings in this instance she still can't help but feel her own heart heavy in her chest. She can't help but feel her own emotions.

Five is gone. And the words still feel heavy in her mind, but she's looked everywhere. He'd never just disappear without telling her where he is. He'd never leave her worried for him and alone.

Sniffling, Prim swipes at her eyes to brush away the tears.]

I'm sorry...but Five's gone. I l-looked everwhere for him and he's just not here.

[Prim looks at the camera sadly, feeling even worse speaking the words out loud. She looks as rough, as wrung out and drained as she feels.]

He would have left a note or told me if he were going somewhere, but he's just....gone. I'm sorry.

[Prim cuts the camera off, both embarrassed and too emotional to do much else.]

Text; (PUBLIC)

I'm sorry for posting it like this, but for anybody who knows Five and is his friend he's gone. I've looked everywhere and I'm sure.

[Prim can't really muster much more - this much is hard, so she just leaves it at that, despite the fact that the part of her that isn't hurting feels like she should say or do more to be helpful for the other people going through this losss. But she's feeling it too much herself at the moment.]

WHO: OTA
WHAT: Eglaf Annual Fall Festival
WHERE: All of Eglaf, Florida
WHEN:

Friday, September 11—Sunday, September 13
Friday, September 18—Sunday, September 20
Friday, September 25—Sunday, September 27

WARNINGS: Please place applicable warnings in the subject lines of your comments if the content of your thread starts to require one.

The Eglaf Annual Fall Festival takes place each weekend for the last three weekends of September every year. Tons of activities are available around town, from hayrides and vendor booths downtown near the Summer Stage, to carnival rides and games, to special deals and silent auctions sponsored by local small businesses. The fall marks the end of the tourist season in Eglaf and surrounding areas, and the fall and winter festivities are generally the locals' way of celebrating the calm that falls over the town before the holiday season.

Characters will have received brochures that will be slipped under each character's apartment door Monday morning, September 7, given they're still living in the government housing, as well as downloaded automatically as a pdf file on the devices of characters no longer living in the government housing.

[At first he was going to make a simple text post, not wanting to show his face, but Sirius couldn't bring himself to being so distant with the family of one of the few people he cared for here. Maybe he would with the way Klaus spoke of his brothers, but he knows that Allison and he were particularly close, and Sirius thinks Klaus would want her to see his face when he told her. Not like he can ask the stupid disappearing prick.

He takes the time to pull himself together before he's ready to record, and Sirius is sitting in the now empty room that previously belonged to the man who had rapidly become his best friend here.]

To the Hargreeves family, [he speaks with an almost monotone voice, nothing like the cadence of his past video's and interactions,] I'm Sirius. I'm sorry that this is the first time we've spoken, I usually like to make my introductions on better terms. I share an apartment with your brother Klaus, but I woke up this morning and he's no longer here.

[He's trying to make it sound better than 'your brother is gone, sorry', but it's hard. This isn't the first time he's had to break difficult news to someone, but this is a family, and he knows that they had already lost a brother before Sirius himself had arrived. The regret does show in his face, if not in his flat tone.]

I wanted to make sure before I reached out to you but I've checked everywhere, including the spa. All of his clothes and belongings have also disappeared, so I'm afraid this is the only conclusion I can come up with.

[He looks down for a moment with a hard swallow but almost immediately forces his eyes back up.] I'm here to... talk, if you need it or answer any questions, but unfortunately I don't know much more than you would at this point.

[A hesitation.]

And I'm sorry. It's all I can think of to say. I suppose I'm sorry about that as well.

( When the video feed picks up, Lydia's very clearly seated in the back room of Soul Full Cup on one of the bean bag chairs, an iced something-or-other on the table beside her. )

So, I've been thinking. We all have a common goal here, right? We either want to go home or we want to stay right where we are. I was just thinking, maybe it would be nice for us to all get together somewhere and discuss in person. Maybe there's something we can do for the government to help ensure the outcome we're hoping for so that everybody wins.

( She's being vague on purpose but her expression is one that suggests a deeper meaning she's hiding under the words. )

I know Tony threw an amazing party on the beach last weekend and I'm not even going to try to compete because I wouldn't dream of it, but...maybe a bonfire on Saturday evening? What do you guys think? Just for the Supers to get together and talk? A few drinks, maybe some roasted marshmallows, and good conversation. Yeah?

WHO: Tony Stark and OPEN TO ALL
WHAT: Beach party/Bonfire
WHEN: Saturday
WHERE: The beach
WARNINGS/NOTES: Feel free to add a toplevel, tag out, have fun! Warnings for, well, Tony being Tony. It's a Stark party, so we all know that can only lead to shenanigans at some point, somewhere. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Their spot on the beach will be easy to find; the music coming from their corner of the beach will be easy to spot, and the place is all set up. Tony has hired a catering company to have food and snacks ready, as well as tables and other places to sit. There is even a bar - bartender and all - ready to get people's drinks; both alcoholic and non-alcoholic. Sure, some of his stipend money went into this, but he doesn't pull any stops when it comes to these kind of things. And, well, it helps when he can talk his way into good deals thanks to being famous in this place, too.

[The video opens with Radar smiling a little awkwardly at the camera. Behind him are a couple of DIY cages, one of which can be seen to contain a squirrel happily nibbling away at a nut of some kind. Radar stays silent for just a touch too long - responding to other people's videos he's managed to do fairly naturally, but something about sending a video out into the ether for anybody to see has made him extra awkward]

Uh, hi, I guess.

[He waves]

I've seen a lot of people making these videos so I thought I'd do one of my own. I've been here a little over three weeks now but I don't know all that many people and that seemed like a shame.

So, uh, I guess I should introduce myself, right? My name is Corporal Walter O'Reilly but everybody just calls me Radar, I came here from a MASH unit in Korea. Oh! A MASH unit is a hospital, by the way, but I'm not a doctor or nothing I'm just the company clerk.

It's real nice to meet you all and I hope we can be friends!

[Another bright smile, held for a little too long, before the video ends]

[ Derek is already sweaty and looking kind of run down or tired when the video comes up, but that's because he's just spent the last hour after Allison left, taking Apollo and Zeus with her, running with Chance on a nearby hiking trail, trying to ignore that uncomfortable pull in his stomach watching the dogs disappear from sight.

He has nothing left of his best — ...only — friend now. It felt wrong to take anything from Diego's room when his siblings would probably want it and it felt creepy to steal a piece of clothing to keep Diego's scent present for a little longer, so whatever was left, Laura and the Hargreeves three have in their possession. He regrets that, but he'll never admit to it.

Moping around the house isn't helping anyone, least of all Derek himself, so what he needs, he supposes, is a better distraction. Chance can't last as long on a run as Derek can, so he'd had to come back and drop off the dog. Now, he's still starved for a distraction but he figures running on his own is just going to give him time to steep in his own thoughts. He needs someone to join him and that someone needs to not also be mourning the loss of her roommate and significant other, so rather than asking Laura, he's taking to the network. ]

I don't suppose there's anyone who feels like they might want to go for a few miles running on a hiking trail on the outskirts of town or head up to DC for a CrossFit session, is there? I can go alone but I figured it was worth asking if anyone wanted to come with before I go.

[ If he's upset — and he is; he really is — he keeps that covered well. Laura might very well be the only person who could potentially see this video and identify it because she's almost definitely the only person left here who knows him well enough to read it. That's just as well, as far as he's concerned. ]

Barring any joiners, does anyone know if there are any local beaches that allow dogs? I didn't get the impression that any of them did, but maybe someone else knows better?
