The school year just started, right? Can't believe it's already spring again...

[Well uh, "again" was kind of a relative term since he certainly hadn't been here for a year but still.]

But it's not REALLY mandatory to attend here like it is at home, is it? At least, maybe not for us, they said it wasn't necessary a little... Besides, we've gone this long without it, right? I don't know, with everything that's gone on, I just feel like it's kind of pointless. I'd much rather spend my time helping out around here. Though I guess I haven't done much of that lately...

Maybe we could just skip straight to University? Except I wouldn't know what to study anyway...

Augh! Work is for losers! ヽ(●-`Д´-)ノ

[The feed starts up with a slightly sheepish-looking Aoi. This... may have something to do with the large gate behind her.]

So... It seems my house has appeared in Hinoto-Ri. It's strange seeing it here instead of in Tokyo, but... I've been in contact with the government and they have agreed to pass the ownership over to me. It will take another week or so before it has electricity, so I will be moving here then.

However... It's a large building, so I'm not sure if I can take care of it by myself. [Understatement.] So, I thought I would ask the network if anyone here knows how to maintain a garden, or would be willing to help me with housecleaning. I can't offer much in the way of money, but there is plenty of space if you don't mind using a futon. I would be happy to offer living space in exchange for help around the house.

If you're interested, just contact me through this post or through my inbox. [A bow, and then the feed ends.]

[Action; Libra Ward]

[So yeah, there's a large building in Libra ward now, and has been for the past week or so. But today, the gate is open, and Aoi can be found walking through the familiar rooms. If your character seems interested, she may just give them a tour!]

My brother Minato is recovering from mono! That means he's still contagious. So if he takes you out somewhere, don't kiss him, even though he's cute. Or share straws or chopsticks. (And it might be good to wash your hands if you touch him but try to do it quietly because he's sensitive.)

But he is getting better and he's been sleeping all month, so if you see him you should say hello and get to know him! He's a really nice guy when he isn't full of germs. ヽ(*≧ω≦)ノ He likes music and listening to people talk to him, and he'd really love to make some new friends.


[This post comes with only the best of sisterly intentions. Minato may love to sleep, but she'd seen how grumpy he'd gotten with almost a month of enforced bed rest. It was time for him to get out and meet new people, and what better way than to give him a not-so-gentle push?

Whatever her purpose was though, it got a reaction. Minako didn't bother to wait until her brother was asleep again to post, so not too long after her PSA goes up, another message quickly follows from a somewhat embarrassed and rather annoyed Minato.]


Please disregard most of what my sister has posted here! Except the part about mono.

But I'm not sensitive, and I'm not looking for anyone to kiss right now.
[He has a kind of sort of girlfriend here, after all.]

Though I guess if anyone knows much about playing the violin or likes running, it would be nice to find someone to run with a few times a week when I'm better.

[It feels kind of weird asking about that, but... without Akihiko, running and keeping in shape is going to get lonely, and he doesn't know if the school has a track team. So, even if he is annoyed with his sister for starting all this, he... is kind of slightly grateful. And he might as well take advantage of it to ask about a running partner, right?

Besides, maybe there's someone else out there who plays the violin or something, too. He missed the concert due to illness, and he regrets the chance not to find some more people who play music.]

The Velvet Room hasn't been open for a while... do you think Igor-san and Caroline-san and William-san are all right?  Is it because the Anoli are gaining so much power and influence?

Heeeey, is this thing even on? How am I supposed to even tell if it's on?

[ It's definitely on, and Chie's on camera. Just your average short haired, kung fu loving steak addict. ]

Listen up! I have a question I totally need answered.

Has anyone ever seen two copies of people? Like, there's one, who knows everything you know, and then another who doesn't?

[ Chie's not exactly a wordsmith, she's better at kicking people. ]

Oh, and does anyone know where I can get the best steak in the city? This is very important, I haven't had anything as good as Aiya's beef bowl since I got here!

[ Maybe some manly boxer will be able to point her in the right direction. ]

Before our great leaders or some overly sanctimonious citizens decide to deep clean for the sake of some city beautification program, let's get a little proactive! Has anyone had a chance to grab photographs of the lovely murals around the city? Please don't say you grabbed video of one on this network. We all know it has a rather biased set of viruses. (Not a knock on you, Miss *Hyun-ae; we all know you try your best.)

Since I'm sure that this skirts the line between legality and the no-no line (encouraging terrorism? Moi? Oh no, never!), let's keep this more or less sanitized. Please don't be stupid enough to upload your picture to the network. Instead, a location and a description of what you saw there will do. Discussion of the symbolism is all right, if you think you can get away with it. If you don't think you'll be safe communicating through this network at all, but you'd still like a description of your mural here for posterity's sake, please feel free to contact me through my inbox and I'll arrange something with you.

Is there some sort of database containing information about this world? Things people like us have figured out or knew beforehand. I've found scattered bits of information here and there, but something more centralized would help, don't you think?

I assume you have all educated yourselves on what Philemon's intentions and goals are for this city in his latest charade, or you would not be wasting your time humoring that ludicrous and insipid excuse for literature.

Now, what about Nyarlathotep? Have any of you figured out anything about his plans for this city, or are you more concerned with petty child's play?

[When the feed starts, there is the sight of a surprised newvomer with longer orange hair. It's from a lower angle.... Did he drop the watch?

Nope. Because the camera angle just tilted. Whoever it is filming this, they're using the glasses cam in order to do so.

There is text that accompanies the video feed.]


My new friend is looking for people who know him!

Can someone who speaks human talk to him? He's confused and doesn't know about his COMP glasses yet...

Okay guys, listen up. I'm sure you've noticed that we've got a SERIOUS PR problem developing. As far as everybody else in town seems to be concerned, we're either celebrities or we're leeches and trouble magnets, and either way the longer we ignore this situation the more we're going to destabilize things. To that end, I think we need to band together and find ways to reach out to the natives, help them realize we're on their sides too. I'd like to propose starting a group to brainstorm ideas, work on PR, and generally work on our outreach. Otherwise, we may end up finding ourselves isolated, and that's not going to work at all.

Right now, though, we need a couple things: a place to meet, and a time. Is there anybody who could offer something like that? Someplace safe... and secure.

*There's an odd emphasis he places on "secure" for some reason.*

[When the video feed comes on, you might all recognize a very famous looking face appearing on your screens. One Yosuke Hanamura has got his COMP on his wrist aimed at his face, and he looks... terribly deep in thought about something. Concerned, even. And, for a change of pace, he seems to have actually posted to the entire public network.

This isn't just a message for the visitors, this is a message for all of Hinoto-Ri, one he's sure people are going to look at because of his mini-celebrity status. Boy it must be important.]

Hello, everyone! You may have already noticed from the stores, but tomorrow is a holiday called Valentine's Day. I know not everyone is from Earth so I thought that it might be good to explain it.

Valentine's Day started in the West as a religious holiday, but it's turned into a holiday for showing people you love them! In some countries, you mostly give gifts to your girlfriend or boyfriend. In Japan (and Hinoto-ri) though, it's different. On Valentine's Day, women give chocolates to the men they know, and next month, on White Day, the men give gifts in return. Giving a guy fancy chocolates means you really like them! (o⌒.⌒o)♡

[If this were voice, this is where it would turn more serious.] A lot of us are waiting for people to come home, and we don't know how we can help that to happen yet. The people you love the most might not even be in the city at all. But we can still have fun for a day. And who knows... they might even show up tomorrow in time to celebrate.

...Anyway, if there are any girls (or boys, even) who want to learn how to make Valentine chocolates, come stop by the Iwatodai Dorm today. I have some ingredients ready. [attached: directions.txt] And if you have a recipe of your own you want to try, bring what you need and we'll make it, too!


Action at the dorm )

[Note: Feel free to threadjack in the action part! Everyone probably won't be working individually the whole time, after all.]

It doesn't make sense.

[After he wakes up from that weird dream, it takes him a few more hours to realize that Eikichi is, somehow, missing. And...that was it! That was the straw that broke the proverbial camel's back! Because by mid-morning, there is an angry-looking text post from Tatsuya on the network, with only these words of warning.]

*If there's one thing that's generally a good idea, it's that suddenly having random dreams like this are not something you should ignore. Especially considering the IMPLICATIONS. Which is why some of you are probably woken up by a somewhat panicked comm call by a certain medium.*

ROLL CALL! Hey, everybody out there, check in, would you?! This is IMPORTANT AS HELL!
