To anyone who met 'Jellal' in the past week, I'm sorry but that person was not me. I don't think, I gave away anything that wasn't public knowledge anyways, but-

I-

I'm sorry.

[Now comes the harder part, because apologizing to the masses isn't difficult, especially given the probable lack of success in his 'mission'. No, what is hard is to face the people he knows, the ones that seem to trust him to some degree, for reasons he doesn't understand, but...

When he finally brings himself to activate the video feed to record his next message, Jellal looks pale, the stress and the shock from awakening from this nightmare clearly visible in his face. Still, he needs to pull himself together now and make sure to warn the others of his world. His voice breaks at first when he speaks up, but then he manages to follow through steadily.]

I- I need to talk to you all, especially those that just arrived. In person. There are things that you need to know about this place.

If you are really Zeref... There are some things I would like to talk with you about, not here but rather where those that control this place cannot listen in so easily.

Um...

[ Sertoria holds up her tattered tunics one at a time to the camera - a few of them have old bloodstains, others look torn and tattered in a few areas.

She's in her robe while addressing the camera, so thankfully she's not completely exposed. ]

Would someone mind repairing these for me? I cannot offer any monetary compensation, but I can always gather materials or do any jobs you may have for me.

I'm in room 1-03 if you would like to take my measurements if these are too destroyed to work with.

Thank you very much if you are willing to do this for me.

[The feed turns on to show a familiar face who hasn't showed up in a while. Kidou sat in front of the terminal with a soccer ball in his lap, and he starts off with his gaze towards the keyboard.]


...things have been really stressful lately, haven't they? The monsters last month... the new information about the souls back home... we haven't really been given any kind of break from the stress yet... and it's hard. It's really hard to keep calm in this kind of situation... I'm not even sure how I'm managing myself...

[He finally lifts his gaze towards the screen.]

...I'm all alone in my dorm right now... almost all of my friends have disappeared.....

But I'm not going to let anything get to me... for the sake of them and everyone back home.

[He lifts up the soccer ball in his lap a bit.]

...I was thinking of starting a soccer club here. It's easier to deal with pain when you have something to distract yourself... and soccer is a very good distraction. It's not very hard to learn, and once you get the hang of it you'll be able to do all kinds of tricks and create lots of cool moves... and I think it would be a great way for people to learn to work together and make friends.

[He smiles a bit.]

If you would like to join, just tell me. I'm willing to teach beginners how to play, as well... and Endou can help me teach I'm sure. I play midfielder but I can teach you defense or forward positions and Endou can teach you how to be a goalkeeper...

Of course, the place of practice will be the soccer field... stop by even if you just want to watch.
