Additional Notes:

* sup.
* not much, not much, just hangin' with about 3 new and old friends in this cage dangling precariously above the water.
* can't say i like the conditions either, but the cold and damp doesn't get under my skin. i think i see other cages, tho and, uh, i can't say much for them yet.
* six other occupied cages, with about three in each. hey, it's like those math problems you used to get in school.
* startin' to get a real sinking feeling so if there's anybody out there who ain't locked up, it'd mean a lot to me and over 20 other people if you bailed us out.
* see ya. sans.

{ The feed begins with Zeref seated at a desk, as a book lays open in front of him; it was titled "Life and Death: The Magical Connection." It would be considered highly controversial in his world; not just due to its subject matter, but due to the implicit argument made throughout the book that magic used to resurrect the dead wasn't evil, and that 'necromancy' was a buzzword invented by people who are afraid of its repercussions by conjuring images of zombies and skeletons.

Another book was visible on a bedside table in the background. Zeref glances up, and realizes that the phone is active.

He sighs, and decides to just roll with it, this time. }

Tomorrow is the third Monday of September, is it not? { He asked, mostly rhetorically from the tone of his voice; of course, anyone who can read a calendar would know that it's the fourth Monday of September. His glitch is causing him to completely lose track of time. It's probably why he's been so scarce in the Castle lately. } It's a holiday in a country in my world, called 'Respect for the Aged Day.' It's a day that celebrates the elderly citizens of that country. I understand it's also celebrated in certain countries in other worlds, too.

{ It's one of the few days that he would at least attempt to send a letter to Alvarez when he isn't present in the country. After August's many decades of dedicated, loyal service, he deserves the recognition. Unfortunately, there's no way to do that, now. Zeref places a feather in the pages of the book to act as a bookmark. }

I suppose that I will be here, for a while, now. I can see no way to leave this world at present. In light of this, I'm aware that some of you have the ability to 'sense' souls. May I speak with one of you, in private? It is urgent, and concerns the safety of this castle and everyone in it.
