Notes of a Steward

[Cube doesn't make eye contact with the camera as he speaks, almost as if he were a shy child. However, his voice is soft and sad. Still, he pushes the words out as he knows they need to be said. Everything is then repeated in text.]

I'd like to make an announcement. In a previous post I had stated I was going to charge for medical assistance, including chip removals, and allow people to disregard any medical paperwork. Unaware to most, it was not actually I who made these claims.

There will never be a charge for medical attention or for chip removals under my supervision. I apologize for any issues this brings up and will address concerns on a case-to-case basis. If you did indeed make a deal with the one posing as me, then please advise me of so and I'll do by best to return any property of yours or something sufficient in case it was not something that can be physically returned.

I'm truly sorry to those who were harassed and humiliated. Some of the incidents I'm aware of, while others I may not. Either way, I assure you I will do what I can to prevent such an event from ever happening again.

[Cube comes on screen, he fumbles with a strange cane/flute with red wings surrounding what appears to be an eyeball on the end for a bit. His voice has a nervous edge to it.]

Ah, Gakupo-san... I-I think I'm ready t-to play. I hope you and others enjoy it. I-I've not played for very long, but I hope it will be alright.

[The small demon brings the flute to his lips and pauses just before playing a rather sad-sounding tune. He continues this way for a while, a note here or there is a bit off key but for the most part he seems to play it alright. Cube's face looks more and more frustrated as he concentrates on playing. He repeats the main of the song twice before the feed cuts itself off.]

((ooc: Thanks to the devil flute, ROBOTS/CYBORGS are welcome to act strange. Generally something sad, angry, or destructive. This video is an example of what Jiro in the anime did. The song will have no ill effects on anyone else; just robots and cyborgs!! If you have any questions, please contact me.))

[The video starts off showing a white rabbit sitting on a pillow. It sniffs about and starts trying to dig into it, like this.

This lasts for a good 10-20 seconds before a smaller bunny pops it's head into the corner of the screen. It hops over and investigates while ANOTHER one joins and another.... Soon, they're all imitating the larger rabbit and attempting to burrow into the pillow... with no success.

They continue to try and try for another 30-40 seconds before a light chuckle can be heard and Cube picks up the communicator.]

They seem very adamant on burrowing there, don't they?

[He turns the video towards him and smiles]

Japan-san, do you have room for a little bunny? Flandre-chan and I woke to quite a few of them and I'm afraid I don't have enough time to pay them all the attention they deserve... would you care for one?

[With that, Cube looks back to the rabbits, some of the smaller ones have started to sleep against the larger white rabbit... causing the whole burrowing plan to halt for the moment.]

Flandre...

[Cube is holding a bloody communicator, it's shaking a little in his hands. He looks very tired and worn down and obviosuly in no mood to deal with this right now. He looks firmy into the video, his voice strong and serious.]

Has anyone seen Flandre?

She- Her communicator-- Did she hurt someone? Is she hurt?

Someone, please tell me!! Have you seen her? Anyone?!

[He takes a moment to breathe and thinks]

She's a bit shorter than me, blond hair, bonnet, with black stick-like wings with many colored gems hanging from them. She usually wears red but sometimes blue--

[It's painfully obvious he is upset, frustrated, and possibly scared.]

Someone just tell me if you seen her already! If she's hurt you or- or someone... I-I don't care! I'll deal with it later! Please!! Just tell me if you've seen her!

[Cube is staring at a piece of ripped-out notebook paper blankly. His face is pale of much color and he looks very tired. He continues to be zoned-out for a moment before his gaze lists and the communicator he is holding.]

The hydro-plant is going well... despite the fires in the city recently...

uh... there are cookies to decorate at the cafe and...


[He squints and stares at the paper for a moment or two... or three... oh, wait. He seems to ahve forgotten what he was saying and blinks at his notes, not able to come out of his daze]

I'm sorry for not coming to work today.

[He simply lets go of the communicator, it's view showing the cracked ceiling. There are a few small shuffle sounds of paper but the feed eventually ties out on it's own.]
