[ The video opens to Conrad clutching his side, and wincing as his arm moves from the record button. It's a webcam post.

He's got a split lip, a black eye, and swollen jaw. He's lisping a little as he speaks. You watch his mouth a little more closely... Is his fang broken in half? ]

I'd like to apologize to Principal Dinkerton and all the kids for not showing up for my chaperoning duties. However, I have, um, encountered some difficulties moving around since Friday night, so, um. I couldn't make it. Too much, uh... working out at the gym.

[ This is obviously a lie. You can tell because Conrad Achenleck is a terrible liar. ]

I also wanted to ask everyone, though, um, has anyone seen Lau? Ran Mao says he has gone missing.

[ With that, Conrad reaches to hit the stop recording button, gasping as he moves his arm, and clutching his side tighter. The video ends.

OOC NOTE: Ran Mao also thinks Conrad kidnapped Lau, hence the shape Conrad is in at the moment. He'll be replying with videos, as he's pretty sure some of his fingers are broken... ]

[ around the city on this fine day, some girl is snooping around (as a new person is wont to doing, perhaps), and she seems evasive of the crowds of people rather than going along with the flow. but one thing's obvious, it looks a lot like she's looking for something.

but if that's not enough to warrant approaching her, later on she does start coming up to people, if tentatively so. ]

Uh... 'Scuse me. Got a moment?
