In reply to: Fenrir and Karade 's message, "Later That Night" on 10:23:51 04/27/02 Sat

Renn and Otik had been watching the same newscast (Otik had known what a viewscreen was: his organization was just too underfunded to have one.) Ren seemed--well, he SEEMED unconcerned. Otik, on the other hand, spent a very fitful night. Someone who burns people is even MORE of a concern to a person made entirely of wood and coated with three layers of industrial varnish.

>Karade: Well that's a strange mirror over there, you

>Fenrir: That's because it's not a mirror. It's a
>"viewscreen" as the locals call it.
>
>Karade: And a viewscreen would be what?
>
>Fenrir: It's a screen to which images and sounds are
>transmitted by magic from other parts of the world.
>
>Karade: Huh?
>
>Fenrir: Here let me show you. Fenrir picks up the
>remote control and pushes a button. The screen flares
>to life and the image of a man sitting behind a desk
>appears.

>News Man: Hello, and welcome back to HNN, Holo Net
>News. There was another attack today, this time in a
>downtown district. We go live now to Soou Gses for a
>report.
>
>Soou: Thank you Rautveynx. I am here live in one of
>the downtown districts just fifteen miles from the
>palace district. The camera pans back to show a
>scene of pure destruction. The entire area seems to
>have been burned to a crisp and black hunks of what
>were once body parts are still scattered around.
>As you can see this attack is similar to the half a

>say there is no connection, but many point to the fact
>that the attacks are getting closer and closer to the
>royal palace to be a sign on impending doom. The one
>difference between today and the other attack is that
>there was one survivor. I taped an interview with him
>earlier before he died.
>
>Soou: So could you describe what happened?
>
>Badly Burnt Man: I was walking along getting ready to
>go home when this humanoid appears. He was floating
>up in the sky over the walkways.
>
>Soou: And what did he look like?
>
>Man: Well, I don't remember much really, but I
>remember the hair. He had this bright red, spiky,
>hair. And his eyes were bright red also. He didn't
>even ask for anything, you know? He just laughed and
>then there was fire everywhere.
>
>Soou: Thank you. The screen cuts back to the live
>shot of Soou. If all of these attacks were
>perpetrated by the same individual, as is suspected,
>then the total body count is fast approaching one
>thousand. The eighth infantry division is said to be
>on its way to investigate. Back to you Rautveynx.
>
>Rautveynx: Thank you. We'll be right back with a look
>at the latest sports scores, right after a word from
>our sponsors.
>
>Fenrir turned off the screen.
>
>Karade: That's some scary sounding stuff.
>
>Fenrir: Yes . . .
>
>Karade: Well anyway, it's late lets get some sleep.
