[Video, Private to the Investigation Team]

Hey guys. I made it back. Has anyone seen Naoto-kun and Kanji-kun? I couldn't find them in the mess when we reappeared. If either of you hear this, or if anyone else has seen them, please respond.

And...yeah, I'm back. We're back, I hope. Whatever happened was strange and creepy, and I don't know why it happened, but we found out some strange stuff. I'm gonna try to keep this short, but...

Well, first of all, there's another world like this one where people get pulled from their homes and stuck there...only when people went back from the Tower, their worlds were destroyed. I couldn't quite figure out what was going on in the Tower to "save" them, but there were copies of people from our world. Us, too. Like how we're from different times, they're from different...versions of the world, maybe? Naoto-kun probably figured out more of this than I did, but there's other us out there, and they can't go back to their world. They're just stuck in a tower full of monsters.

The other thing was, toward the end there, there was...fog. It was like the stuff from the TV World, or last December, but even worse. People went crazy. People I'd made friends with.

From what I overheard...I think this Nyarlathotep person was causing it. And I don't think the people who found him stopped him. I just...well, what do you all think? I'm only good for getting information, I never know what to do with it...

Hey, Hinoto-Ri! I've never been happier to be here, let me tell you. It's almost like going home, after the Tower...but anyway, that's not why I'm posting.

For those of you who don't know me, I'm Rise Kujikawa. I'm an idol back home, which is a singer and an actor for people who aren't from Japan, and I got to thinking about something that my horoscope says I should bring up now - there's a lot of singers and performers in town! I've met plenty, and I know there's more hanging around, so I was wondering if anyone's ever thought of organizing a concert or something. After the last couple of months, I think people might need the kind of break some nice music can give...and I think most people have forgotten about that mess with the Jacks. I hope.

Anyway, I'm not a producer or anything, but I figure if enough of us got together we could figure something out! So...who wants to put on a concert?

Hm...I've never been anyone's senpai before...

[Except Kanami, sorta, but she so does not count.]

I like it!

I mean, yeah, it's fine if you want to call me that. And thank you, I'd love to hear you sing, and I'd really love help organizing things.

Yeah...I kinda noticed that. People are pretty open and rude about it when you're not obviously a Visitor.

[i.e. you're Japanese and have training in keeping up a pokerface.]

You get to go back. Trust me, it was a unique problem to that place.

And I don't know. I really wish they'd check in.

That's good. Us getting sent out must have been the required big monthly problem this place seems to have...

I don't know, you seem like my kind of girl.

Anyway, I figure we're going to need to talk to the Government about a venue, then we're going to need equipment, scheduling, and advertising. Oh, and technicians. Hopefully they come with the venue. Any of that sound interesting to you?

Yeah, she will.

Are you okay? Anything weird happen while we were gone?

Hm...if nothing else, your AGE thingy is probably the right place to put down what I found out there, right?

...

[She gets serious when she asks the following question.]

Did you happen to see Yosuke-kun's recent post?

[She smiles, softly.]

It's not entirely dissimilar. [After all--words can't describe how it feels to connect with other IPDs and sing.] When I sing for a crowd, it is usually a Hymn to manipulate the Infel Pira... but, I've also sung for various ceremonies. I'm very familiar with the Salavec and Infelious lines of the Rhaplanca myths, which tell the history of Metafalss. But--that's probably a little more formal than what you're looking for.

...That doesn't sound good if even you can't find them Rise-chan. I hope they're okay. Do you know where the two of them are living?

I'm fine, Rise-san. [she sounds weary though.]

Actually, yeah, that's a good idea. It's got tons of memory, even by my world's standards. Though it has to for what it gets used for.

Other than how long it took for me to recover, not really...

[A pause; this should really come out in the meeting...]

We do have... something very important to discuss, but I rather it be in person. Let's keep an eye out for the others and get a meeting going as soon as possible.

What is it about going to other worlds that usually puts people in small places? First time I tried my friends and I ended up on an uninhabited island.

[...How is that on-topic??]

It's one of the small ones, mind you. There's probably some sort of fancy name for it but I don't really care what it is.

What exactly does it do?

Yeah. Hey, do we have a secret headquarters again? I nominate the Inn if we don't, since it's actually convenient here.

It stores combat data for my mobile suit. Then it creates plans for new parts, and sends them to the AGE Builder to construct them.

Shoot, I should probably know this one...I have a hard enough time with composition, though, let alone music history.

...

Wait, the first time? You've been to other worlds before?

Naoto-kun! I knew you made it back! What happened? I didn't see you at all after we showed up over there.

Well, I was just going to sing one of my singles, but yours sound really interesting too! It can be a celebration of all the different places us Visitors come from, or something.

What was left of it. That's kind of really suspicious, right? I'm not imagining things?

I think they were still--oh, hang on.

[A minute or two later.]

Naoto-kun just called me! She's okay.

We held the last meeting at the house. Junes is here, but...

[It'd be really unwise to be around there with Yosuke.]

Yeah...let's stay somewhere private while that book stuff is going on.

Your place is fine. I guess it didn't come with your uncle anymore than the Inn came with Yukiko-senpai's parents...
