[There's a teenage boy with red hair, sitting cross-legged on his bed and running a hand through his hair. He's wearing a baggy yellow shirt and jeans, barefoot and with his trademark red and white beads at his wrist.]

A lot of this seems. Way too much for me to really figure doing much if anything to help. Or I guess I just feel that way. We didn't have magic back home and all. Not like this, just in stories or whatever. But here, it's...I guess I should figure this before anyone else finds me in my cat form.

[Cue him purposely changing this time. He has more of the hang of it in comparison to when he first arrived and more recently with being sick. He transforms into a little ginger cat the same colour as his hair. A couple of people might recognize him, or more might have seen him around here and there when he's still been learning, figuring this out or when he was sick and didn't quite have full control over it.

He doesn't stay in the form long, before changing back.]


If anything happens and someone finds me like that, just. Bring me back home. To Tohru. Is probably best.

[Kyo figures that to be the best option, so everyone knows just in case. Even if it feels weird to be more open about it like this. In comparison to back home where only Tohru and the Sohma know.]

I just. Figured to let you guys know. You know now.

[He turns the feed off then, trying not to dwell on the instinct to run. The instinct that this was the worst idea, in telling everyone. That instinct that this is supposed to be a secret. Except it isn't. Not here. Animal magic was something others, a lot of others had as well. He tries to remind himself that, as he runs a hand through his hair and drops the phone to the bed next to him.]

Has anyone been noticing weird stuff at the school lately?

Cause, I have.

I was studying kinda late last night in the library, and a pile of books just fell over. And earlier when I was walking in the halls, I heard this kind of moaning, wailing sound.

I got up to check something and when I came back all my stuff had been messed with.

I dunno if it's someone's idea of a joke or something else, but it might be worth looking into.

Maybe.

Just thought people should know if they want to look into it.

The name's Morgan, and something on that anon post caught my eye. A question about staying here, rather than going home. If it's possible. If it's okay.

I don't know about Avalon. It's possible when all this ends, Avalon won't exist any more, because its purpose was served. But I can say this: if anyone doesn't want to go home, I will find a place for you. No one should have to go back to a world where they'll be mistreated, or miserable, or end up dying in days, or whatever your circumstance that means you're happier being here than there.

I live on a nexus world, a place where a lot of worlds and universes overlap and connect. Sort of like Avalon itself. It's not a paradise, it's far from perfect, but it's somewhere you can go if you want. I'll find a way to make that happen for damn sure. A ritual performed here, I hope, at the end of the last day. And if that doesn't work... I have some friends and family to whom nothing is a barrier that can't be overcome, and we will find a way to get you away. There or elsewhere.

It isn't fair that anyone should be drawn here to save everything, then sent back home without a second thought to what might happen. And if your response to that is, 'well, life's not fair', I'll make it fair.

Don't be afraid to relax, to hope, to enjoy yourself here. Life's too short for that. But... I'll also take any help anyone's offering to make this vow of mine come true.

[Morgan chuckles a little awkwardly, before shrugging and ending the message.]

[The video will show Kyo at the training area working on figuring his abilities, his newfound magic here. He's by now just figured he has animal magic recently but that is not that surprising. What is? That he has blood magic. Kyo stares wide-eyed and pale at the sight of his arm with blood protruding in the shape of some sort of blade from his elbow.]

What.....what is this?

[Because look. His beads have some History to them but that does not mean he expected this? Kyo isn't sure what to make of this but he does not seem to like it. At all. The way he pales, the way his chest heaves. The way his instinct is to just flee up somewhere high, alone. To try run from it and ignore it. But he can't. Short of not using the magic and he has no clue if that might have consequences as well somehow. Given how new he is to this.]

I knew about the animal one, because of course I have that here, but this?

[This he is less sure on. Less familiar with and more creeped out by. The implications of it and weirdness of it. In using his blood like this. He might have threatened if anyone got it in their head to go after Tohru with her animal magic but he is understandably distracted right now.]

Okay, looks like not everyone knows about this, so I'm gunna try to get right to the point.

Apparently, someone put out some magic that's given some of you humans animals ears and tails and what not. Personally I think you guys look better that way. But now another dude thinks that A) an animal mage did it, which makes no sense, 'cause last I checked, animal changes can only do that stuff to themselves, and B) thinks the best solution to reverse what's going on by murdering all the animal mages.

Yeah. Solid logic there.

I'm trying to give a head's up here because not only have animal mages been attacked, but so does anyone who already looked like an animal, including yours truly. I've personally seen some of these money-hungry monsters go after kids, so, just to be clear, it's bad out there right now. So if you're an animal mage, or you've always had non-human traits, please be safe! Don't go out alone if you can, stay in groups!

I'm sure we can get this nonsense wrapped up as soon as possible, but until then, let's make sure no one messes with our mages!
juzubeads: (What to do)

[He's used to the concept of a phone. Not that he necessarily had a cellphone himself but. The idea seems straightforward enough with talking to someone. Or writing a text. Kyo just hasn't been the best in keeping up to date with technology or pop culture. More prone to spending his time outside or training or such than worrying about that sort of thing. But he gets the basic idea. More or less. So what greets everyone is initially a closer up of his uniquely coloured eyes before it shifts in getting the rest of him in the picture. A red haired teenage boy.]

I hope this thing is working. Else I'm gonna look and feel pretty stupid. But. I'm one of the newer arrivals, I guess. Name's Kyo. I know a couple people from home are here as well, so. For anyone that helped look out for Tohru.....thanks.

As far as what I want to do here, I'm not sure. She mentioned magic and stuff but I'm still figuring all that out, I guess. On what I can do here. I dunno yet if back home, if that still applies here, with the zodi....never mind. [No need to bring up the zodiac curse. Not unless he has to. Back home it was more something known about with certain family members and staff only, after all. And Tohru. Always the exception.] There's an area for training, and a school for figuring out that magic stuff, right? so I'll try look into that, I guess. If that might help me with figuring whatever magic I have here now and how to use it. While I figure out what I'm gonna be doing here exactly, anyway. I was also wondering if there's a dojo around or not. I don't want to get too rusty with my martial arts. If anyone was keen to spar or something sometime.

[He sighs, running a hand through his hair, glancing down briefly.]

....someone called this place something like a second chance. I guess it is in a way. For me at least. Before....dealing with things back home, I mean. Having more time. [More time with Tohru. Given he's all but resigned himself to his fate as the Cat.] One good thing about this place even if I'm still figuring it all out. I haven't even thought about work or whatever.

[How to help support himself and Tohru. He's only just got here so maybe that is understandable but also. This concept of thinking of the future isn't something he is used to. Given he is all but resigned to his fate in being locked away back home.

It's about now that his familiar, a bakeneko seems to sense his uneasy train of thought and comes to him, shifting right in the way of the camera and reaching to turn it off just as Kyo's in the middle of trying to tell him off.]
