[Have a shot of Solomon in his doctor's coat moving through the sterile and busy interior of the Hospital. He holds the device up and gives a reluctantly apologetic look to the screen.]

I know this curse, of course. It was more amusing when it was Haji...though I suppose the staff here is tired of hearing about that by now.

It really is a pity that Kincaid is gone, I really do need to hire someone to fill the roll he held. He could have taken my device from me... avoiding being on it is best and I offer that advice to anyone listening, but since I'm unable to pull myself away from work, there really is no other option.

Saya... perhaps we can spend some time together when I get home? It won't be until the early hours, I'm afraid. But I dislike not being able to get my share of time with you... I'd leave work entirely to be with you, but the money being what it is at the moment...

[Solomon stops, his face contorting with exasperation and his mouth presses into a tight line.]

Perhaps this wasn't a good idea... turnabout is fair play, Haji?

Hello all. It has been awhile since your last visit, hasn't it? And for those who have never been here before, my condolences. But try not to worry. I doubt if they will make everyone permanent residents so you should just try to enjoy the time you here. And keep out of trouble, things can get quite messy when rules are not followed.

I've set aside some time in which to answer any questions that you might have. But I'll need to end this within the next hour (of their time). After all, why work, when there's more important factors at home?

So please, stay polite and respectful, and perhaps this will all go well.

Now who'd like to go first?

[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!]

[The video feed clicks on with a blurry closeup of a cat's paw batting at it. Almost immediately, the audio fills with a pleased purr and it draws back to show a very fluffy and squishably huggable looking white house-cat. It's emerald colored eyes blink in surprise and the purring abruptly stops.

It attempts to speak, but what comes out isn't the meow one might anticipate. But rather, a slightly distorted sound that comes from a mouth not used to speaking English.]

... T-that... that's a bit... speaking... speaking is... is this underrrstandable?

... Saya. If you'rrre arround, I believe I might need assistance. I can't seem to be able to rreach the elevatorrr buttons.

[One moment Solomon Goldsmith is out enjoying the view of the city's lights below from his balcony, and in the next moment his environment abruptly shifts into a bright interior room. His face shows some sign of annoyance at this, but not the typical shock or hysteria that is often evidenced by others in the City. After all, Solomon has been going through such inconveniences like this for longer than most.

Instead, he looks down at the splattered mess of his deep red beverage staining the light carpeting and gives a slight tug on the handcuff now encircling his wrist. With narrowed eyes, he looks askance at the cello bow being held by the other man's captive hand.]

...Haji. Of course.

[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?

Saya~! Shall we go to a casino tonight? Perhaps we can take in a show afterwards...

I've taken the liberty to buy you a new dress~ for the occasion. I do hope that you like it.
