[video]

[There is a ... considerable moment, many moments in fact, where it is just Masaru sort of fumbling around with the camera, with everything a bit jumbled and shaking as he screws with it. Masaru is not the best with technology, folks. This is why it's taken him so long to USE the network.]

...damn, this is worse than the crap DATS used to stick me with.

This thing on?

[It finally focuses in on his face.]

Ah, screw it.

Yo! The name's Daimon Masaru, and I was the number one street fighter in all of Japan, but I ain't been back in my Japan in awhile.

...long story!

Anyway!

This whole "Persona" thing... I'm still sorta figuring it all out, but me 'n' my partner have been gettin' by okay by ourselves for a couple weeks.

But I ain't just gonna sit on my ass with it, so I got a question for anyone out there who might be a pretty good fighter.

I wanna punch you in the face! I wanna test something.

[Text] Getting stronger: Step 1

I want to learn how to fight.
Is there anyone who would be willing to teach me?

12th Screw - Video/Action

[Video; unfiltered]

Um... now that everyone is out of the hospital, I was curious.  Did anyone else remember something extra?  I still have a memory that I know isn't one of mine, and I'm pretty sure it didn't belong to the person whose memories I had during everything that happened.  If anyone knows anything about this, please call me back.  I've been worried about it, and I'd feel a lot better knowing it wasn't just me.

[Video; filtered one by one to Blues, Namine, Kairi, and Latooni]

I wanted to apologize to you personally for the way I was acting before.  I know it wasn't my fault, but I feel really bad about the way I talked to you and how I was behaving.  Even if I had someone else's memories at the time, I still wasn't acting like a very good friend, and I'm really sorry.  I hope you'll forgive me.

[She bows her head very sincerely, frowning worriedly and looking all kinds of contrite.]

[Video; filtered to OU!Xion]

[This next call is going to be awkward no matter how she does it, so Nano decides to just be direct.]

Xion-san, I still have your coat.  I thought you'd probably want it back.  If you can bring the clothes I gave you too, I was planning to do some laundry this weekend...

Um!  I'll make some tea and cookies to share, so if you want to come over, I'll be around all day.

[Action; Friday evening; Castle of Departure]

[Nano's seen this place before - it's pretty hard to miss, looming over the Aquarius District every morning on her way to school.  But it showed up a number of times in the memories she got from Xion, and there's still a few strange lingering memories of things she knew how to do that Nano isn't exactly sure how to deal with, so she's decided to come by and check it out for herself.  Of course, she has no idea that several of her friends actually live here, so she understandably looks a little nervous as she approaches the front gate.]

Do... do I just knock...?

2nd Pokeball - A Completely Ridiculous Inquiry

When the feed snaps on, it reveals Kotoha, sitting calmly in a chair. She fiddles with the bow at the back of her neck for a few seconds before launching into a spiel.

"Hi, my name's Kotoha, and I have a question."

There's slight hint of urgency in her voice, and her blue eyes are intense as she leans forward slightly to ask her question.

"Why is everyone so pretty?"

...wait what.

"Is it, like, a requirement? 'You must be this sexy to save the world'? I mean, I know I'm pretty, but I've met people here that rank right up there with Elesa, and she's a supermodel."

She leans back and drums her heels against the floor.

"It's not fair! How am I supposed to get anything done when I'm constantly distracted like this?!"

She bounces to her feet at that and starts pacing, letting out a little growl of frustration.

"Urrrrr! Stupid teenage hormones!"

[ video ]

 [ Even after his headache of a month, filled with British accents and a curious set of memories, Mikale is still not feeling "settled". Maybe especially after that crazy time. He's been looking around for ways to stay busy, like a job or picking up new hobbies, but eventually has to come to terms with some facts: He is stuck here and no amount of busy work will keep him from being a bit very lonely. Especially considering he hasn't been without his best friend like this in a long time. ]

Okay, so... Hi. I'm Mikale. I got here... recently enough. I guess. So... [ His call is off to an awkward start. It's public, right? He's not sure how to behave for a public call like this. Especially one with video. ] A lot of you have been here longer than me, so... I guess you'd know better than me about this. [ sigh

How do you stop missing someone who isn't here? Like if you miss her-- uh, it... them, really... kinda badly. Is there a ritual or something, like for getting rid of bad spirits? A tea I can drink? Does missing people work that way? 

anonymous text;

What do you do when you put together the pieces of a mystery, and it all points towards you being the person that everyone dislikes, the one whose motives or ambitions are counter to everyone else's?

I don't suppose there's any villainous-types here who might shed some light on this state of being...

{ video } IX.

{ There is a look of determination of Dagger's face as this feed opens. She is putting together baskets. A good number of them. Each one of them is composed of treats as well as useful things. }

I think I'll go visit the hospital. Are they allowing visitors? { She steps over to her communicator, her dark eyes filled with curiosity. } I don't mind leaving these for the patients to find. They've been through enough and -

{ People being sick is always sad. She doesn't like standing idly by. }

I wish I knew what led to them becoming so confused. The leaders of this city should look into it. It's their duty to look after their people and ensure their physical safety as well as their mental well-being.

{Spoken like a true Queen, eh? Blushing, she goes back to fussing over the baskets.}

So hey there!

[Taro grins, waving a little. Nothing out of the ordinary here, human form is great, etc.]

I'm still kind of new around town. I'm looking for a job. Anyone have any ideas? I've got experience dealing with supernatural creatures, but I've also got some retail experience, too. I'm more of a people person.

And uh, if anyone ever wants to grab lunch or something, I'm open. Until I get a job, at least... but for the right person I think I can make an exception.

[He winks, and turns off the feed.]

Fourth Star of Fate ☯

[Action for the Misato House]

[Aoi has been acting strangely as of late. Not only has she been calling Avitus and Otonashi both "idiots" quite often, but as the memories get worse she can sometimes be seen with a hand over her face, clearly in pain. Whenever she catches herself, she does feel horrible, but she's been able to do that less and less recently...]

Sorry, I'm not sure what's come over me.

[Action for Virgo District]

[It was just meant to be a simple shopping trip, but for some reason or another, Aoi found herself drawn to a weapons shop. Which, while not entirely odd in itself (she did need to maintain her naginata after all) was a bit different when she started looking closely at the combat knives on sale. Just looking at them, she somehow knows she would be able to use these - and quite well if it came to it.]

Well, it might come in handy...

[Private to Yuri Nakamura]

[After a while, it became hard to deny that she probably knew the person whose memories she had gained. After all, she had met Hinata and Otonashi and knew they were part of Yuri's group. Eventually, Yuri will get a call:]

I think we need to talk.

[Video/Action/Text] Memory event- switched with Robin from Fire Emblem

{{Video- the 18th}}

[It's not unusual in and of itself to suddenly remember something that you haven't thought of in forever. But some of the things Akane has been recalling lately are a little... strange. Because who would forget having eaten bear meat? It wasn't bad or anything, just.... she feels like it's the sort of thing she'd remember. She hasn't realized anything strange is going on yet, so her tone is more casually curious than concerned.]

Hey, I've got a question for everyone. What's the weirdest thing you've ever eaten?



{{Action- the 21st(Ichiban Market) }}

[Nano and Nik have been preoccupied recently. Actually, the whole city seems to be pretty weird lately. At any rate, it's a slow day for grocery shopping and Akane is booored. Which isn't all that unusual, but she is finding some unusual ways to pass the time. For a while, she's reading a thick book about military strategy that she got from the library. She's having an easier time reading than she expected and never realized how interesting this sort of thing was. But then... didn't she used to do something like this?

No, thats silly! A kid in elementary school wouldn't be marching around with an army.... right? So then why does she remember it so clearly?

Later on, she's in the canned food aisle. Most of the cans have been pulled from the shelves and set up on the floor. Using similarly colored labels, she's set up two opposing armies. Part of it is to better visualize what's in the book. Changing their positions around, creating terrain out of carboard boxes and other objects, she's got the makings of a pretty interesting strategy game here. But something doesn't seem quite right... Shouldn't there be more different kinds of units? She's gazing at her mock battlefield with a thoughtful frown...]




{{Text- the 23rd}}

[Now that she has some idea what's going on, she really wants to talk to the person who has her memories. The question is how to find them. Text seems to be the best method. And because she doesn't want to reveal too much of the other person's memories on a public network,(it wouldn't be fair) she'll need to be a little vague.]

I want to talk to the person who got my memories. If you used to be in a big army full of guys with swords and people who could do magic and the name Grima means anything to you, please text me back.

Thanks.

Video;

[Neku actually has his headphones off, for once. His MP3 player isn't on him, either. He looks pretty frustrated.]

Right, spill it. Who the hell is Chidori?

And if you're the dude who's got my memories, get over here. We need to talk.

[Wait. 'Dude'? Neku just. Sighs. And then turns off the video.]

[Video | Open to all] (Potentially action later)

[The feed opens up and Robo appears on camera. He looks tired.

How does a robot get tired?]


Does anyone here know anything about Pokémon?

I have some questions for you and it might help explain what's been going on this week.

If any of you think your father is Nikola Telsa, feel free to also contact me.

⚐1 [Video/Action]

[He's been silent for a while. Ever since arriving, Yarne's been dealing with trying not to get himself killed...or so it seemed, maybe, to everyone else. In actuality, he's been spending the last week getting less and less social, to the point where he's going on long walks without telling his allies and avoiding looking at his communicator altogether. He's even taken to sleeping outside of his assigned room.

Today is different, though. After fighting some demons during the thirteenth hour, he turns it on. At the moment, he's leaning against a wall not far from his apartment, looking a bit feverish. He's holding his head in one hand and glaring down at his watch in the other. There are two things very wrong with Yarne's appearance...to those who know him. For one, he's wearing a pair of jeans and a thick black coat. Two, there's a bit of blood on the axe leaning next to him...and some on his face. He hasn't washed up.]


This week has been nothing more than a pain in the ass.

[His hand leaves hand so he can reach down to his side and pull up his evoker. He looks at it for a moment before tossing it to the side. It hits the ground with a loud clang.]

...That's an evoker. It ain't doing shit to bring out my Persona. [He growls.] There's something wrong. What the hell is it? It's a gun, but...despite everything I've done, I shouldn't know what it is. [His message may be cryptic, but the memories to him are so clear. He's been shot before, fixing something...taking care of something. But he also knows, extremely vaguely, that despite being able to hold one and use one without flinching...that he's never seen one before.]

...Tch. [He brings his hand back to his head, starting to shake a little. The way he scowls, it's very clear that this Taguel is in great pain.] What's it all mean? Probably nothing more than a waste of everyone's time, but...something's different.

[He scowls again, but it's followed by another wince. His head hurts so much...he has to take a knee at this point. When he speaks again, there's a renewed firmness to his voice. He tries to set the message to private, but...he doesn't know how.]

Minako. Are you...busy right now?

[...He's not sure why he's asking, and it looks like he's about to say something else...but there's a loud screech and a fireball thrown at him. He dodges without flinching.]

Tch. Figures. [He grabs his axe and reaches to turn off his feed, but not before he says one more thing.] Time to say adiós, assholes.

OOC stuff )

Action/Video

[Action; 13th Hour; any night through the 21st]

[For once, DeDeDe isn't spending every night sitting in the Penguin's Nest drinking and carousing. He's got more important things to do. There's a city in danger of being torn apart by demons and god knows what else, and a Galactic Federation officer has a duty to protect the people from the nasty creatures that swarm out during the 13th Hour. And he's got a special Velvet Room Persona he's never used before, so he's got Bobby out tonight, encasing demons and other creatures in bubbles before smashing them apart with his hammer. His fighting style is strong and fast, with no effort wasted in each swing - truly the mark of a seasoned combatant with an impressive amount of military training. To anyone who knows him, the fact that he's out at all will register as odd enough, but he's also uncharacteristically standing up straight, moving with energy and purpose, and being incredibly polite to anyone he sees while he's fighting. He also definitely won't turn down any help, but if you look weak or helpless, he'll probably try to step in to defend you instead.]

[Video; filtered to Samus]

[By this point, though, the really traumatic memories of the bounty hunter have started to flood DeDeDe's mind.  He immediately knows something is up with this, and doesn't have a very hard time putting together just whose memories these are.  There's a Samus where he comes from too, after all.  So he's on the phone as soon as he pulls himself together, taking a long pull from a bottle of whiskey and wiping his beak before speaking in a very practiced even tone into the camera.]


Samus.  You and I need to talk.  Come to the club.  I'll be in my office.

[No southern drawl, very professional.  But it's definitely the Penguin King under there, and he's definitely looking more than a little shaken.]

Fifth Echo/Reflection

Has anyone seen a silver wristwatch...er, chronometer around?

I think it's important, and I can't figure out what I did with it. It might or might not be running, I don't quite remember...

Video/Action

[Action - Virgo/21st]

Ruri is out and about, oddly she's dressed in a black Gothic dress and actually has makeup on for once. It makes her look a bit more pale but its still noticeable, also her demeanor is actually cheery. She's out looking through various stores pondering.

"Hopefully this will be a good distraction from this headache."

[Video]

"Hello, does anyone know anything about sewing? I got this peachy thing from home the other day but I've out grown it a bit and was wondering if you could maybe help me size it up? Anyways, thanks!"

[video]

Ahoy, ya landlubbers!

[Yeah, that's Labrys, alright. She's ditched her girls' summer uniform for something a bit more...masculine. She wears a long black trench coat and pants, along with some upgraded armor...no, those are her robotic arms? Whatever, they're metal and well-protected. Her fashion serves a practical purpose and isn't intended to be pretty and dressy like those...rags she had on earlier. After all, it's dangerous to be a girl in a pirate's world.

Wait... She's a robot in a human's world...no. No, that doesn't make sense. She's a pirate. She has a crew back home.]


After what happened today, I need someone to point me in the direction of the nearest mug of grog. I could use a stiff drink to get my head in order.

[personal profile] deathboss2013-05-21 10:27 pm

Who is this mysterious person on the network?

[Someone felt that his permanent blue hair dye stood out a little too much for his now confused brain. He remembers wanting to start a band...but that wouldn't make sense. He hates the public eye. Better to move mostly unnoticed in the crowds. But don't they excite him? He'd have every reason to want to go out...No wait. They make him uneasy....right?

There's a quiet look of surprise when he realizes he has turned the video on against his better judgement. Wearing the most boring shirt imaginable, he tries to speak out like he usually does, but fails, closing his mouth after leaving it open for a few seconds. He knows he should be talking about how awesome he is but...while he REMEMBERS having no problems with this...he also remembers not being a very social kind of guy? Seriously, what's the point bragging about yourself?

In fact, why did he even bother opening this?]


Sorry.

[At least his voice is the same, if not utterly devoid of the usual Michel panache...Just apologize and close the feed.

Perfect.

Man, he's got a monster headache.]

(backdated to earlier in the morning) video + filter to her kidnap victims + filter to nano;

[There's a face that hasn't been around in a while! Looking a bit sheepish, Kairi waves a little at the camera.]

Hi, guys! I just wanted to tell everyone that I'm awake now, and I'm sorry to anyone that I worried! I'm perfectly fine now, I promise. They're keeping me here until the evening to run some additional tests, and I'd love it if anyone wants to stop by! It's really boring to sit around all day, especially after I've already been sleeping for so long. I'm the first door across from the elevator on the second floor, I promise you won't miss me. 

[She gives the camera a large smile before switching into her private filters.]

Filtered to her kidnappees:

[Kairi's expression turns a bit worried and apologetic, eyes averting slightly from the video.]


I am so, so sorry for what I did to you guys. I wasn't in my right mind because of that whole Zodiac thing, I promise I would never actually try to lock you guys in my basement otherwise!! I don't really know how I can make it up to you all for any trauma or injury I might have caused, but would maybe a free dinner tomorrow evening at Tappers help a bit? It's all my treat, and you can get whatever you want! I hope you don't think less of me after this, and I'm especially sorry to the people that didn't know me as well beforehand... I'd really appreciate it if you could give me a chance to introduce myself properly and apologize in person! Hope to see you all there...

Filtered to Nano:

[...And now her face breaks out into a smile again, eyes pricking a little with happy tears.]


Nano, I cannot thank you enough for the gift you gave me. It was so incredibly thoughtful and a wonderful thing to wake up to. It just tickles me to death that you were thinking about me, and I don't know how to make it up to you properly! I hope you'll come to dinner with me tomorrow, because you're getting a big hug whether you like it or not! Talk to you later, okay?

[She grins, waving a little before shutting off the feed.]

((ooc: you can find the log to speak to kairi in person over here!))
