[the feed suddenly cuts in with a loud clatter, followed by a fit of coughing before the screen reveals a hunched over Tamaki sitting on the ground, a frantic gimmeyourpants hovering over him.]

—ki!? Tamaki are you okay??

I...I'm fine I just—[more coughing.]

[and now another, smaller figure appears. for anyone who may recognize him, it's substrictus.]

Hey, is he all right?

It looks like he's caught that cold that's been going around.

Damn, that thing really is spreading.

[enter demonspear and ofredemption joining the group in the background as Shiki kneels down in front of Tamaki and touches his forehead.]

Tamaki, you're burning up! Why are you here!? You should be at home in bed!

But the—

[Oz just smiles.] We'll take care of the cafe, don't worry~

Go home, man, you look terrible.

[there were literally tears in Tamaki's eyes as he looked at them all.] Thank you every...every...ah...ah

...Don't you even—

ACHOO!

[yeeeep, Tamaki sure did just sneeze right into Zelos' face.]

Oh you got to be—Seriously!?

...Sorry... [sniffle.]

...You might want to wash that off...Before you catch it, too.

I'll call Haruhi and let her know. [Shiki was trying to stifle a giggle as she pulled out her Dreamberry.]

Speaking of calling—is that Tamaki's Dreamberry on the floor?

[there's a moment before it's picked up, Haseo now looking at the screen.]

Yeah it is—and I think it was recording.

What—!?

[ooc: so many colors! to put it simply, Tamaki's sick and Shiki, Oz, Haseo, and Zelos were around in the cafe when it happened. So all five of them can respond to anyone who comments to this post. If you want a specific one, just make a note of it somewhere. Otherwise it's all free game |D]

[at first, it's as if Tamaki doesn't realize it's recording. he has a bit of a downcast look, and there seems to be a bit of a more somber air. however, it only lasts a second or two before he realizes it's recording and his expression changes to one that is more of his usual cheerfulness -- though those who either know him well or are just good at reading expressions may notice it was a bit forced. he gives everyone a grand smile before speaking, his usual lighthearted tone masking whatever is troubling him]

Hello everyone~! Isn't it such beautiful weather, outside? You can truly feel the crisp autumn air~!

I'm glad to see everyone is safe and sound after last week's, ah, week of Halloween. I am also aware that some may have lost someone from the usual disappearances, but we must keep our spirits high! It's the beginning of the month, and perhaps they or someone else will arrive. We should all be ready to welcome the newcomers.

-- Speaking of which, perhaps we should coin a term for them? "Newcomer" is a bit too "plain" don't you think? I recall the locals here referring to us as "visitors" but that also won't do at all!

Since we are in a dream world, perhaps something with the word "Dreamer"~? I believe this world also uses the term "dreamwalker", which also has an certain flair to it, too, don't you think? Perhaps we should have a contest!

Ah, I would also like to announce that the cafe is running on normal hours, though I may be unavailable at certain times later this month due to the upcoming exams. It's so exciting to be in school again~! I hope everyone else is enjoying their time~

I'm not sure if you know but...Hikaru and Kaoru have disappeared.
