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.]

Are you trying to say I'm short or somethin'?

[otakuro]

One position short of President.

[Says Atsuro conveniently ignoring whatever it was Hizumi just said.]

[bondsofsuffering]

That isn't even funny.

[otakuro]

We can't both be President. That's not how clubs are supposed to work.

[Atsuro considers this seriously for a bit.]

OK, you can be President, but I get to be King.

[bondsofsuffering]

Is this s'posed to be a republic or a monarchy?

[otakuro]

It's both at the same time. We have to have epic battles to decide who gets to control the club for the next week.

[bondsofsuffering]

Waaaah, every week? Can't it be, like... Every month or something?

[otakuro]

Well. If it's not that important to you, I can be both king and president.

[bondsofsuffering]

Denied.

[otakuro]

You don't have the authority to deny it, sorry. As king and president, I outrank you.

[bondsofsuffering]

I'll rally the troops! We'll stage a coup!

By the strength of wasabi chips, we'll bring down the tyrant-!

[That would have been a lot less pathetic if he didn't dissolve into hacking coughs immediately after he finished speaking.]

[otakuro]

....Er.

[Atsuro watches awkwardly for a moment or two.]

You picked up a cold or something? ...Actually, I hear wasabi's good for that.

[bondsofsuffering]

S'why I've been out the past days, remember?

[otakuro]

...Oh, right.

[The conversation had deviated so far from the original topic that it had gotten a bit out of hand. ...Although actually he had thought Hizumi was faking being sick to cover for something else.]

You need anything, then?

[bondsofsuffering]

[Just because he's using it to cover for something else doesn't mean he isn't actually sick. So cruel, Atsuro.]

It looks like others are bringing stuff, so I'll prolly be alright. I just want to get some cold medicine before I try sleeping again.

[otakuro]

...Alright, well. I'll leave you to get some rest, then.

We can figure out the specifics of Team Whatever We're Calling Ourselves after you're feeling a little better.

[bondsofsuffering]

I'll hold you to that!

[otakuro]

Get better soon, then.

...And seriously, tell us if you want to leave.

[Hizumi will receive a gift basket of three bags of wasabi chips sometime over the next few days. It matches his hair.]

[bondsofsuffering]

Thanks. It's just a cold, so hopefully it'll be gone soon.

[...No comment on that last part, though. At least he'll definitely enjoy the wasabi chips?]
