Feb. 28th, 2011 05:55 pm[Giovanni is too busy lugging around an unconscious Eald'narche to do much more than get the communicator on and recording his voice.]
Maria, I could use your help. There is something wrong with Eald'narche. He is fine but... I need you to look after him.
Gohl. Everyone in Gohl. I want you to come home immediately if you are not already. Meet in the main foyer of the apartments. We have something to discuss.
There is something else going on... be careful of..jellyfish. They seem to be able to get inside without trouble. [Damnit, this is annoying!] They might be invulnerable to attacks.
Everyone else: be careful. If you need assistance or a safe place to stay, let me or someone from Gohl know. We will help out.
[He tries to click the device off but it doesn't quite happen. So you get a lot of extraneous noise from here on out.
Giovanni carries Eald into the foyer area of Gohl, calling out for his wife along the way. He sets up a small place to set Eald after some juggling of things--he brings down a blanket or two after setting Eald down and lays them out, re-laying Eald down on top of them afterward. Then he waits, keeping an anxious eye out for these new creatures without any way to know that, for starters, he cannot see them.]
[In response to this. Giovanni may be being overly cautious but at least he's doing something about it quickly. Gohl, get your butt over here.]

Feb. 20th, 2011 11:09 am[The video only shows a pair of kunai being held within a set of calloused hands. The fingers and thumbs trace over the blades carefully, respectfully...and eventually what turns into a noticeable pattern. An invisible pattern. A missing pattern.
Giovanni moves the camera and it sets down to show a whole lot of nothing.]
...You'd think a person would get used to it by now. But I have to admit--I had known him for a long time now. A year... that is a long time here.
...he was like me. A ghost... ...a dead man...

Jan. 28th, 2011 11:39 pm[The video is dark when the device turns on. Giovanni removes his hand a moment later but the device isn't entirely facing him and the picture is skewed at an odd angle. There is the usual rubble of the worse parts of the town in the background.
The brown bundle off to the side moves slightly and it becomes apparent the shape is that of a man hunched over. It's still hard to distinguish much.]
...sed libera nos a malo.
[The figure coughs violently.]
...libera nos a malo. Avrei...
...
Così è stato questo inferno tutto il tempo? [He begins to laugh harshly and then breaks into more coughing...and what can barely be heard to sound like heartbroken sobbing intermixed.]
[[Note: Giovanni has just come back from a canon update. He has just lived through his death. He is weeping for his dead sonswho are not dead here but that is besides the point. He is in his normal clothes--aka, not the assassin's robes--and there is a rather nasty red mark around his neck from where the noose hung him that will be seen in some replies.
tl;dr: He's back from a disappearance of his own.]]

...At least the place is clean. Now if only it were warm... How is my principessa e il suo leone faring? Well, I hope? [He chuckles softly.]
La Volpe. Are you going to wander the rooftops forever or could you settle for a home for once?

Nov. 25th, 2010 12:39 amIt's time we got organized.
( [Locked to Gohl; 50% Un/Hackable] )
[[So, Giovanni and Eald were discussing this stuff a few days back and it was decided Giovanni would do this. Aaaaaand, then I took forever to get it out. Whoops. Well, anyway, it's here now and there ya go. Hopefully I got everyone in Gohl! (Minus Lucy because she wasn't here yet.) Please let me know if I'm missing anyone. Also, I hope this is okay with everyone! But the two leaders have spoken--so there! |D ]]

Nov. 12th, 2010 10:58 pm[The image is blurry and bouncing around wildly as the person carrying it runs with light footfalls. It's impossible to tell how agile and swift the person is from this viewpoint but he's running across rooftops with much ease. Then there is a thwomp of booted feet landing hard on pavement and then movement ceases and settles. The landing is perfect.
Shortly, Giovanni walks inside the Gohl and as he brings the device up to look at it a quick flash of the main room can be seen, then a slightly smirking face of the banker, then nothing as the device is turned off.]

Oct. 16th, 2010 09:16 pm[Giovanni stands on the rooftop of Gohl, staring down out into the city streets, the communicator somewhere near his feet. The white Assassin's robes are stained with blood though it's impossible to tell if any of it is his or not--except for a bit on the hood that he obviously used to wipe a cut on his face. A particularly large spot rests on the shoulder with the cape--which, by the way, is missing completely--the rest is scattered. Overall he looks worn-out more than anything else.]
Gohl... should be safe now.
Gohl... should be safe now.

Oct. 8th, 2010 11:17 am[There is a very brief video post of a small garden landscape. Giovanni is just checking up on the greenhouse, enjoying a bit of peace and quiet, and...cataloging? Maybe. He doesn't say or write anything down but the camera does pan carefully and purposefully over each different type of plant for a set amount of time, and never repeats viewing the same type of plant. It's all he does before turning it off.]

Sep. 27th, 2010 09:44 pm[He's sitting--lounging--in a chair with the communicator pointed at him from a table or counter in front of him. He looks very contemplative. Like he's considering whether to make this post or not.
He leans forward abruptly, his arm outstretched towards the device, the hand out of sight as it hovers over the off switch, his eyes intensely staring at the camera.]
He's back. Steer clear.

Sep. 19th, 2010 07:47 pm[Giovanni reaches out to the device slowly, almost hesitantly until his fingertips touch the device and then all the trepidation leaves in a quick flourish of movement. He switches the post to audio functionality.]
Seifer never came back...
[And on to more important subjects as if nothing was ever said about that.]
Eald, how many people are left in Gohl? It seems a lot have left all at once recently. ...I am sorry, my friends. Do any of you need anything?
[A slight pause.] I promised to keep you all save. I promised to look out for you no matter what. I promised...
I never got to talk to him about some things. [...] I need to know if something was found in his things... No, never mind.
I want to uphold those promises. I plan on doing such. But I want permission to do it from a closer perspective. I know there are too many empty rooms there right now. I would not presume to take the place of someone else, but I would like to move there. Would that be all right?

Sep. 9th, 2010 12:15 pm[This is for anyone who would know (family, Kadaj, Eald, Chloe?, anyone who would try to keep up with him) that by now he's been found and drug back to the hospital (by Kadaj) to get better. He's still horribly sick but there isn't much of a way for him to keep people away other than griping their ears out (when he isn't coughing out a lung) since he's bedridden. He is definitely upset that he cannot keep up with what is happening outside and being sick isn't fun so he's not in the best of moods, not even remotely. But if you want to bug him or update him on what is happening he'll receive you (not that he has a choice). He'd really like it if someone did that last suggestion.]

Sep. 5th, 2010 09:51 pm[Giovanni's hand manages to turn on the video function through it's fumbling with the communicator as he reaches out for it. Not what he intended but it will have to do.
He looks like shit and feels worse. There are dark spots on his gloved hand from coughing up blood and his breath is coming in short gasps. He swallows and it takes him a while to actually finish the gesture thanks to cotton mouth. It doesn't look like he's moved in some time now, much less been able to fetch himself water to keep hydrated with.
He tries to sit up to address the communicator but collapses back down and gives up moving anymore altogether.]
...not s'well... [coughcough] not...apartm-- [coughHACKcoughcough] nngh... M' dispiace.
[He reaches out to the communicator, fumbling it a bit, and then getting a grip on it to pan the view. He's huddled up in an some anonymous warehouse near the docks. It was as far as it got on his way back home after chatting with Knowlton. He thought he was stopping to simply rest--he never got back up again.]
N-not... not sure how-- [He coughs some more, this time blood specks the corner of his mouth before he wipes it away with his glove.] long be safe 'ere. But--
[This time he doesn't stop coughing, and instead simply shakes his head and waves his other hand in a 'no, no' fashion before stamping off the device with awkward motions.]
