For those who have joined us only recently: welcome to Hinoto-Ri. Attached to this message are two documents: the Astrology Master Document and the Event Master Document. In Hinoto-Ri, it is important to arm yourself with knowledge regarding your astrological sign in order to prepare yourself for battles against certain demons, which have thus far been based on a single sign from the western horoscope common to planet Earth. If you are uncertain of your sign, your ID card should have that information.

So far, we have encountered Scorpio, Taurus, and Virgo. Information about the effects these demons had on the populace can be found in the Astrology Master Document. However, since certain information is lacking, if anyone who was present for those attacks could fill in data from their own experiences, it would be appreciated.

The Event Master Document covers all other events that have occurred. These are unrelated to the astrology-based demon attacks, but many of them are still caused by demons. Reading it over should give you an idea of what to expect in this place. However, like the Astrology Master Document, it relies on information input by Visitors regarding their own experiences; if you have anything relevant to add, please do so. Both documents are open to editing from anyone who has access to them.

Due to the Virgo event, the documents were restored to a prior point in order to remove vandalism. If any important and relevant notes were lost in that process, please add them as necessary.

Other items of note:

The Hinoto-Ri government has been working on weapons to destroy astrology-based demons, which would render Visitor help unnecessary. However, so far that weapon has been found to be insufficient.

As usual, this post may be used as a place of discussion.

[Video; Three Hours Later]

[After a two day absence from work, school, and home, Hizumi makes his official return... through a very brief video message.]

If anyone's got cold medicine, could you bring it over? 'll pay you back'n everything.

[His voice is stuffy, and his first sentence is punctuated by a wet sniffle. And if the state of his hair and the background featuring what is unmistakably an apartment bed is any indication, he seems to have just woken up.]

Desco's important contributions were deleted when you reverted the documents. Since Desco is a forgiving monarch, she has just re-added them, but she is officially WARNING YOU. Don't erase Desco's incredibly valuable insights again!

IF YOU WANT ME TO SLEEP STOP TEXTING ME

Action

[melodyoflogic]

[Maybe an hour after Hizumi's video request, there's a knock at his door.

If he chooses to open it, he'll find himself being greeted by who is likely to be the person he least wants to see right now.... carrying a plastic bag.] Hey.

[He's half expecting to have the door slammed in his face, to be honest. If it is, he'll just leave the bag in front of his door.]

[hachitaro]

[And right behind him is a dog. A fluffy golden retriever.]

[Who is, of course, not a golden retriever at all but this is about all he can manage right now okay.]

[bondsofsuffering]

[There's a shuffling sound right up to the door, and then a pause. Unsurprisingly, he's checking who it is before he opens up.

Although he does eventually open the door, his expression is carefully schooled - which should speak multitudes about his mood towards Ayumu right about now.]

...Hey.

[He gives a quick nod to Taro before stepping aside to let them in.]

[melodyoflogic]

[It's almost as bad as getting the door slammed in his face really, but he'll count themselves lucky with the offer. He hadn't been expecting a happy reception regardless, not after what happened.

He steps inside, casually looking over Hizumi's appearance as he does.] I brought you lunch. Medicine, too.

[There's a full meal in the bag.... made with Ayumu's usual skill and eye for nutrition.]

[hachitaro]

[Taro pads inside and sits, head tilted as he stares at Hizumi. He didn't bring anything but he's still worried and people like puppies so maybe he can help like this.]

Video

[otakuro]

Hizumi...! Where have you been?!

[Atsuro appears on the screen with an expression somewhere between relief and accusation.]

I've been looking for you all over!

Video

[bondsofsuffering]

[Aaah, right, Atsuro had messaged him before, hadn't he?]

I've been out sick. What did you expect?

[It's somewhat risky, but he makes an assumption, hoping to bolster his claim.]

So... you must've been one of the people banging on my door, then.

[otakuro]

...Sick enough that you thought you were going to die or something? What was with the will?

[bondsofsuffering]

[Innocently:] What will?

[otakuro]

'Carry on if I can't' that's practically telling me that you expected to get murdered on the streets in the next hour or something. What did you think I would think?

[Oh hey, that would explain a few things...]

[Because, you know, he's so used to having someone push him around on a daily basis... With Yuri gone he needs someone to fill the void. Hizumi.]

[bondsofsuffering]

[Yep, it was very definitely just a cold, ahaha!!! Ha...]

Maybe a day or two? I feel like shit

[frequent_flyer]

[Luckily for Hizumi, Hinata isn't exactly the king of observations... So his secret is likely to stay a secret.]
