[Video: failed private]

[It may not look like anything out of the ordinary, but anyone who knows Dr. Solomon Goldsmith has never seen him quite like this. In fact, this may be the very first time that anyone has seen him out of his standard suit and tie ensemble.]

I think...

[Solomon reaches up to run a hand through the longer strands of his blond hair, an uncertain gesture. Turning in front of a full length mirror, he carefully scrutinizes the various aspects of this new 'look'. It takes him a few moments to pull his gaze away to glance back at the network device sitting on the table.]



... yes, long overdue.

Saya, Haji... I've taken the liberty to remove all of our clothing and update our wardrobes for the upcoming Fall season. I do hope that you like it~.

[ooc: Every article of clothing except Marishka's in the penthouse has been removed and replaced by styles similar to what's shown here. FALL CLEANING FTW!]

[Video]

[Have a rather exasperated looking Chevalier with fingers pinching the bridge of his nose as he activates his network device. He gives a soft sigh and looks up, forcing his mouth into a pleasant smile.]

Saya...  Not that I mind chasing following you wherever you should lead... but I had hoped that we could spend the day on the town together.

Had you changed your mind?

[Video]
[Solomon's brow is furrowed, and he idly taps a pen repeatedly on the paperwork on his desk as he speaks to the camera.]

Strangest thing... I should know this, I'm certain of it... I was wondering if anyone might be able to tell me. There was a girl. Pretty, dark short hair, large brown eyes...

[He pauses, looking embarrassed.]

For the life of me, I can't seem to recall her name...

[Video; filtered from Saya]

[The video snaps on to show the rather agitated pacing form of Solomon Goldsmith. The usual easygoing smile is gone from his face, and his fingers fidget with a small photograph held tightly in his hands.

He glances over at the small red light of his video device that indicates that it's recording and sighs before walking over and holding an image up to the camera.]

Does anyone happen to know this girl?


If so, I'd like to speak with you...

[He withdraws it from the camera, his barely composed expression dissolving to show a flicker of the stress that's plaguing him.]

Please... It's important...

[His hand reaches up to switch the broadcast to audio.]


[Private to Keats]
Mr. Keats... I have a job for you.


[ooc: going out for a few hours this evening but will tag when I get back! Backtags always welcome~]

I can hardly believe that it's been a whole year since I first found myself here. Time really flies when faced with so many strange events, both good and bad...

But to celebrate the occasion that led to my being in Saya's arms at last, I wish to invite the various friends and acquaintances I've made here to dinner at Dewi Shri in Xanadu tomorrow night. My treat of course, and please... feel free to bring a date.

It seems the most recent curse bypassed me, but my resources have spoken of a Shadow City? I'm interested in hearing about people's experiences with this other place.

[Private to Saya]
Saya, I've noticed that you haven't been at the apartment much since last weekend. Is something wrong?


[ARTEMIS FILTER]
Unfortunately we've lost a few valued members of our organization. While I understand that this is inevitable in this City, it still makes things a bit trying. I believe it's time for us to be more proactive in our research, especially with the threat that any one of us might be gone tomorrow.

Please note that Mr. Temple, and Mr. Kuran are no longer with us. Both of these men seemed to have the knowledge that they were no longer going to be here... which can only make me wonder why some are whisked away without a word, and others have time to prepare. Perhaps we should start taking note of such disappearances to see if there's a pattern.

[Accidental Video// Action for the apartment]

[The video comes to life, showing a somewhat harried Solomon walking quickly across the room. His crisp white shirt is painted a deep crimson from the collar down on one side. And his hand stays firmly pressed to the side of his neck as he disappears into another room for a moment.

When he returns, he carries a few bags of blood and a medical bag under in one arm.]

And I just bought the couch too. Of course, it will have to be replaced...

[Sighing, his body sinks down to dig through his medical bag, pulling out some sterile gauze, a roll of filament, and a curved needle with his free hand. He speaks to someone off-screen, voice assuring and calm.]

Don't worry, just a few stitches and everything will be fine~, you'll see.

[Turning to look off camera, he addresses the other person.]

I'm afraid I'll need your assistance now. Would you mind holding the compress while I prepare the sutures?

[Filtered from Diva]
It seems there is a new citizen in the City, a young pregnant woman who goes by the name Diva. I'm interested in knowing if any of you have encountered her or know of her current whereabouts. Attached is a picture of her for those who are unaware of what she looks like.[ARTEMIS FILTER]
Please refrain from direct contact if possible. I merely wish to know where she is for now.

Mr. Xemnas. I'll be needing your presence at the apartment later. I wish to run out for a bit.

[Accidental Audio]
My God, what have I done?
………
Father in Heaven forgive me… ah…

[The Chevalier sighs in resignation before his footsteps approach the network device. Minutes pass before he speaks again, but when he does, his voice is the epitome of serenity.]

If anyone has seen a 'Father Abel Nightroad', can you please direct him to contact me immediately? I’ve just tried the Cathedral, but have had no answer as of yet.

This is rather urgent, so I would be grateful for any assistance. Thank you my children.



[ooc: Just call him 'Father Solomon' today~. Hit with the Grab Bag curse of ‘I’m a Professional’, the Chevalier is convinced that he entered into the Holy calling of the Priesthood instead of the medical, and business industries. (Which means he has a whole TON of sins to atone for! Confession as they say...)]

[Video]

[The video feed sparks to life, showing the neatly arranged interior of a doctor’s office. Solomon sits at his desk and gazes steadily into the network device, but something is very different about the normally pleasant doctor. His hair no longer falls in loose waves, but instead is combed back out of his face. And he now favors the simplicity of an all-black attire. The only color being that of a crimson colored tie, and the stark white of his doctor’s coat.]

I’d like to request for any patrols in the area to refrain from bringing any weapons into the Emergency Room again. If dropping off a comrade in arms, you may alert the staff that you’ll be bringing them in and we will meet you outside the doors.

[Filtered to Saya]
I won’t be home tonight, but if you have need to speak with me, I can be contacted through the network.


[ooc: Due to the 'War of the Worlds' curse, Kingdom Hearts 'Heartless' have been brought in to fight for Xemnas. To assuage himself of the heartache that Marishka’s loss has caused, Solomon decided to allow his second in command Xemnas to use him to create another ‘Nobody’ in the City. The result, is as you see before you, his personality focused intently on his work unhampered by attachments to any that meant anything to him. Nobody (as described by wikipedia) = As Nobodies, they lack emotion and morality, and are unable to feel guilt and remorse for their actions. Well, he got what he wanted. Or what he thought he did anyway~]
