[It's take a lot of building himself up to making this broadcast. First, he starts with voice. ]
Err - listen, Jem, if you're listening in, close your locket over.
[It's an odd thing to say, but when Kieren switches to video, it should become apparent why. He's bare faced, eyes white with star burst pupils. The more they get used to the light, the more they'll start to look like pin-pricks as the video goes on. There's dark, purple-blue circles under his eyes and a yellowish tint around them. His mouth is blue and slightly black at the sides. He swallows out of habit, the feeling of a phantom lump lingering in his throat.
He looks like death, quite literally. There's a reason he's been mostly using the audio option to communicate. ]
I guess I just wanted to offer full disclosure here. To both courts, really.
[He chews his lower lip. ] So, some of you know my sister already? I don't know how much she's told you about home, if she has at all. But she might have mentioned something called 'The Rising'. You can probably tell where this is going.
[He has no idea how Simon can be so confident about what he is, at home. He wishes he were here now, for support. ]
If she hasn't, well - the dead rose from their graves and started eating brains for a while. It was - well. It wasn't really ideal. I was one of them.
[Well - it feels sort of good to have that off his chest. ] I'm better now, obviously. No brain eating or anything like that. No eating much of anything, really. I just wanted to be honest, I suppose. Better that than keeping it a dirty secret.
[He sucks in a breath. ] So yeah. That's that, then.
