001 ☠ video.

[ At first, the video is just entirely shadow, creamy and dark. Then, finally, light comes across the screen and it's revealed that a large, stuffed rabbit was the reason for the blockade, a young girl peeking up over the head of the animal. Her eyes are wide and confused, cheeks flushed a bright pink  as she fiddles with the ears of her toy. 

Eventually, she leans up more and it's obvious that she's sitting down - in a wheelchair. The back of her chair peeks around her head and she glances to each side, as though she's about to share some kind of secret. ]

Hello... Um, my name is Rei Hazama. I just got here a-and I was wondering... Would someone help me? With keeping contact.

[ She bows her head, looking uncomfortable. ]

I-I'm not very good at making friends, so...

[ She reaches out to hold her hand out to the camera, as though she's shaking hands with whoever is watching. In reality? She's sending out her feelers, testing for people that have been hurt or betrayed. She wants to know if there are any... Victims here. ]

(ooc: Rei has the power of hypnotism, so I'd really appreciate you guys checking out her permissions post and seeing if you want to plot or avoid Rei's powers altogether!)

A few of you have been asking about the shadows. Until now, they weren't really dangerous, but...do not let them touch you. Especially the ones in the masks. I don't think it hurts you, not physically, but...you'll have to re-live certain things.

Memories. Bad ones.

[While he's still masked, it's pretty easy to tell from his body language alone that the usually carefree little spider is now very much not so. Suggesting he came by this information the hard way. He's even abandoned his usual shenanigans of posting on the network from odd angles in favor of just standing on the floor like a normal person.

There's a long sigh before he finally continues.]

And I have a lot. So do yourselves a favor and be careful. I'll still try to keep an eye out for them and warn people away if I see any, but...something's wrong. I feel a lot worse than usual, in every possible way. I can't even sleep. Even if I manage to get a little shut eye, the nightmares kick in.

So I may not be as useful as I could be. But I'll keep trying.
