[When the comm turns on, all you hear at first is a few loud THWACK sounds as if the holder is beating it against something else.]

-kind of useless lost technology is this, anyway? Tch.

[A whoosh of air, then another thwack, and this time the video function turns on. From a view situated on the floor of an apartment room, you can see Wolfwood's back as he steps over to the lone window in the room and looks out. There's a long pause.]

...What the hell is going on?

((For those who would know the difference, Wolfwood is now taken from volume 4, not long after he fought Ninelives and left the ship with Vash. Also, yes, he did get dropped right back into his old apartment. All posts before this one are from Wolfwood's previous stay.))

I think we need to talk.

[Abrupt pause. The silence goes on a few more seconds before the post ends.]

[The view is shaky and it's obvious that Wolfwood is moving, and fast. If you watch closely, you may be able to tell that he's climbing a set of stairs; namely the stairs in Horton. He's focused forward, but now and then he glances down at the camera. His neck is scratched raw and bloody, and his haunted expression isn't exactly sane. It doesn't help that he occasionally breaks into fits of cackling.]

He's- haha- he'll be after me soon. Shinji. Can't trust him, liar, fuckin' lyin' bastard. Can't let him catch me again. I could get out of here if he'd j-just let me go, he's holding me back, I-I'm not crazy, he wants to kill me-

[He pauses on one of the level areas to claw at his neck, tearing the skin further and smearing blood on his hand.]

Ngh- have to, haha, keep moving before he, he, he'll find me-

[It's apparent his attention has shifted elsewhere, and he starts moving again before the post ends.]

((For those who missed it, Wolfwood was infected with Hinamizawa Syndrome the other day. He will die shortly after this post on the roof of Horton. Shinji will find him there, but if anyone else really wants to be involved somehow/run into him on his way upstairs, give me a poke.))

[The video shows a dim room. There's tiny cracks of light seeping in; it appears the visible window has been covered with a heavy blanket. The comm seems to be positioned crookedly on the floor, perhaps thrown there, and in what little light there is you can make out constant movement, someone pacing back and forth, in and out of frame next to a bed. Because of the lighting, Wolfwood appears more like a dark human-shaped mass than anything, but if you look carefully you can make out a detail or two. What's easier to tell is that each movement he makes is a little jerky, a little too uncontrolled. He reaches up, tugs at his collar, scratches harshly at his neck. He makes a frustrated noise.

Scratch scratch.]

Why won't it STOP.

[He comes to a halt, looks around, stares at something, keeps walking. His voice has an odd lilt to it when he speaks, lending a vague feeling of paranoia to his words.]

I know you're there.

...

It was you last night, wasn't it?

You're not supposed to be here, you know. This is all wrong.

[He reaches over the bed, grabbing one of the pillows as if to throw it. Stops. Sits on the edge of the bed and hugs the pillow.

Scratch scratch.]

I'm serious. I can't help you.

[The silence stretches on then, broken only by the occasional scratching at his neck, faintly audible from the lack of other sounds. His eyes can be made out, and they're staring at one point off camera. It's not a distant stare; he's looking at something in the room.

Suddenly, he laughs, loudly and a little too high.]

I can't stay in here any more. Not like this, with you... watching me.

...

Can't leave, though. Too bright.

[He stands, walking directly towards the video feed. His foot bumps the comm, and for a brief moment you can see the half of the room he was staring at, apparently empty, before the pillow flies into view and smacks against the visible wall.]

I would if I could, all right!?

...

What? You mean he-

[The post times out.]

Has everyone in this goddamn place gone fuckin' insane!? Ow, damn it. Thanks for the warm welcome back, Discedo. [Obvious sarcasm, there.]

Should've paid more attention to the comms... anyone know what the cause of this bullshit is?

((Like Trunks, Wolfwood got a happy fun dose of Hinamizawa Syndrome. As it happened only just now, he won't be too bonkers just yet.))

[Bzzzt. Have a completely dark video.]

Fuck!

[The video clears, and it becomes apparent that it was in Wolfwood's pocket until he took it out to look down at it, annoyed. You get a clear view of his upper body and the Punisher slung over his shoulder before he switches to audio.]

How many fuckin' times has that happened, now? I swear, I'm gonna...

[His mumbling cuts out after a moment as he switches it off.]

What do you call the day you died? Your deathday? I don't suppose that's something you'd wanna go around celebrating, anyway. Fine by me.

The scientists have been pretty damn quiet lately. Wonder if it means anything.

63 - [Voice]

2009-07-10T04:29:16Z

[The comm clicks on to the sound of debris moving, sometimes small clatters and other times something huge shifting. It continues through the post, in which Wolfwood sounds rather aggravated.]

Has anyone seen Sorata anywhere? I'm starting to think he isn't even up here. How long has it been? Uh... Shinji, you're still at the bar, right? Has he showed up over-

[The shifting suddenly stops.]

...Fuck. Of course I have to be in the middle of a goddamn post before I can-

[He shuts off the comm mid-mumble.]

62 - [Voice]

2009-06-30T02:00:20Z

[Have some familiar bzzt noises.]

...Fuck.

[The comm slams down on something, and there's some silence.]

I am so sick of this place.

[After another few seconds, there's a clatter and the comm shuts off.]

61 - [Voice]

2009-06-11T05:18:10Z

[As soon as the audio turns on, you can hear the buzz of him getting shocked.]

F- Fuck, fuck, fuck! I don't need this stupid shit right now!

[Followed by some heavy breathing; he seems to be running. He'd be doing this in text to make sure everyone understands it, but he's in too much of a hurry.]

Anyone in the Northern Lights Bar, get out of there now.

[And that's it; the comm clicks off.]

(( Crazy Legato funtiems. Mod-approved. ))

Screw this, I'm moving to the next town over.

[The video clicks on to cursing and a pretty dark room; no light except for what little filters through a window. It's hard to see at first as it seems the device was dropped, but when it settles the view is aimed at a wall. If you look closely, there's a number of large, dark smudges on the lighter paint, lines of it trailing down into a thick stain on the carpet below. A voice comes from somewhere above.]

Fucking piece of shit... Yeah, happy "anniversary" to you too, Discedo.

[After a moment the view moves again and settles on Wolfwood's scowling face.]

...Hell, is this on?

[Aaand the transmission ends.]

2009-04-10T07:47:57Z

Fuck. Guess it's been a while since I posted last...

I know there are people getting pissed at Legato, and I don't blame you. Just don't get too cocky about getting back at him. He's made some people here hurt themselves so far, but he's just as capable of making you hurt your friends and family.

Not much else to say... not like anyone's gonna listen to warnings around here anyway. Gettin' real tired of this.

[Locked to Shinji]

You gonna be all right? You've been real distant lately.

It didn't take long for the killing to start up again, did it? Are any of the deaths around here ever not murders? Still, I guess I'm not one to talk. With any luck, things will calm down and stay that way for a while. It's not so bad like that.

[Locked to Shinji]

You coming home soon?

55 - [Voice]

2009-03-01T18:22:51Z

Okay, these little tricks of the light or whatever you'd call them are getting really annoying. What's causing it, anyway? This better not be another one of those seemingly harmless preludes to something big and nasty, like that gas le-

S-Shit. That's not a... oh, God.

[Locked from Elendira, Legato, and Knives, a little late whoops]

The Punisher's gone. Fuck!

Damn it, looks like I need to figure out this pact thing...

Vash, Shinji, where are ya? You safe?

Okay... if you haven't seen my last entry, go look, because I've gotta add to it.

The scientists must be feeling particularly cruel lately. Another man has shown up, and this one's more dangerous than the last. His name's Knives, his frequency is here. Short blonde hair, wears some kind of fancy jumpsuit... problem is I don't know when he came from, but that doesn't really matter. He's Legato's "master", and Elendira's one of his lackeys as well. He's not human and he hates the human race, and kills without a shred of remorse. Don't think you can convince him to think otherwise.

His power... raw destructive energy, and lots of it. He can create blades from his arm that could cut clean through metal. Attack him, or get on his bad side, and you'd find yourself in pieces in a heartbeat. He hasn't got any weaknesses; he's unstoppable without his powers blocked. The time I come from, he'd already succeeded in wiping out most of the planet.

...That's it.

[Locked from Legato and Elendira]

This is for everyone in Discedo. There's a dangerous man who's just arrived. His name is Legato Bluesummers. His chip should not be removed under any circumstances or there will be deaths. He believes humans are pests and he wouldn't hesitate to kill you or fuck with you, then kill you.

Edit: All right, so people want more information? This is the best I can give you. His frequency is here. He's got less than shoulder length bluish hair that partially covers his face, pale skin, he's tall, and he's probably wearing white. He's got death in his eyes and a creepy as fuck smile. Last I saw he had no use of his body, but since he was using his communicator without trouble I'm gonna assume that's no longer the case.

Without his chip, he can manipulate the bodies of others. He could make you kill someone else, or yourself, then use your corpse to the same ends. He can control groups of people... possibly entire populations, so he can kill hundreds without lifting a finger. The only weakness I know of is that it's possible to hurt him if he's focusing on a lot at once, and even then the chances are slim. That's why his chip needs to stay in.

I- feel fantastic. I love it when shit like this happens. I really don't think I'd have it any other way. I can't wait to get my chip back in so it'll be even better-

...

Shinji, I- really don't want to see you anymore. Ever. Fuck- off. No, you- I want to leave. I'm staying here right now, but I'll hurt you if you try to stop me from going.
