{{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.

poweryetunknown

[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.]

square_cubelaw

[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.

bunnyboy

[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 )

emperor_penguin

[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.]

echo_of_a_jedi

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...

electricyousei

[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!"

testsubject031

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.

deathboss

[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.]

princessofheart

[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!))

aurathread

Right. Whoever's memories involve a place called the Citadel, we need to talk.

It'd be good if we could talk sooner rather than later.

Everyone needs to stay calm while we get this stuff figured out. Panicking isn't going to help anyone.

If you need help, just ask.

[... He sits there after posting it, just staring at the screen. It's so totally unlike him to take charge like that...]

doesasordered

I know I am not the only one to be suffering from suddenly having memories that are not your own. I am not sure what it is I am experiencing, whose memories they may be. They are very overwhelming. They are related to nations in Europe, Germany specifically. I will not discuss further details on a public network about the content, though.

What I want to know,is if this is happening to everyone, and if so, does this mean someone else is experiencing mine? If so, I wish to speak with you.

terminally_clever

[There have been a lot of strange memory-related shenanigans going on in the city lately, and like so many others, Fumi has also been affected. She's had the odd fortune to receive memories from one of the people in Hinoto-Ri with the least similar memories to her own, so the end result is... interesting, to say the least. As the week goes on, the two sets of memories blend and collide in a variety of different ways.]

[Action; Capricorn Ward; May 18th]

[One of the first things that Fumi noticed after the start of the event was the sudden lack of the Bear +Anima that she's sure she's had ever since... well, for as long as she can remember, anyway. She can't quite recall how she awakened the power in the first place, but she does know it's been with her for a very long time and is suddenly gone. When she thinks back, the most obvious change that's happened in her life is joining up with JP's and becoming their network security specialist. The most obvious conclusion is that the spirit has left her out of disdain for all the modern technological trappings she's surrounded herself with.

To that end, Fumi has decided that camping out in the park and communing with nature is the best way to go. She can be found in the middle of the park in the Capricorn Ward, pitching a tent and building a small fire. Unable to leave her hobbies behind entirely, however, she also has a wireless access point set up, and her laptop is sitting on a large flat rock not far away. Oddly, though, she does look almost serene as she works on lighting her campfire.]

[Action; JP's Headquarters; May 21st]

[By this point, everything Fumi has tried from the 'communing with nature' angle has failed. It's getting difficult to concentrate on her studies, but as far as she's concerned the JP's archives are all she has left. She's got about a dozen books down from the stacks, spread out on a long table in front of her as she consults and cross-references information being displayed across several laptop screens. At the same time, her hands seem to be busily at work carving something out of a block of wood.]

[Video; JP's Headquarters; May 24th]

[It's almost the end of the event now, though Fumi doesn't know that. Senri's most traumatic memories continually fill her thoughts, and it's nearly impossible for her to concentrate between violent flashes of memory. The attack of the mad bear. The death of her father. Years of abuse as a slave. The confusion and pain before receiving the book and the eye patch. It's all she can do to concentrate on her research - even though she knows these images aren't real, that they don't belong to her, it doesn't make it any easier to deal with them.

Miraculously, though, she's managed to get herself hooked up to an EEG machine, determined to get a read on her brainwaves to see if her mind is being affected directly by whatever it is that's going on. Through some quick and insightful thinking, she's also managed to track the tangle in her destiny strings to its source - which wasn't hard, considering Senri himself was drawn to the JP's building by her memories. He's there too with her, electrodes and wires attached to both of their heads as she keeps a careful eye on the machine's readouts.]

The strings are tangled.

[That's all she says into the camera. It seems that Fumi has also inherited Senri's penchant for brevity. Normally she'd jump at the chance to give a long and laborious explanation of what's going on, but for now she's going for concise. It's just as well, since she seems to be suffering from no small amount of mental and emotional anguish, her hand covering her left eye as she winces sharply.

Even so, she's keeping the camera on, so if anyone wants to speak with either her or Senri, they're available for a chat.]

bakegarasu

[It's late at night (or early in the morning, depending on your view). Otoha blinks at the camera, a softer expression than usual on his face. Still, he looks... concerned.]

Mm. Things aren't right here. Other people have been noticing it, too.

Is everyone safe, at least?

[... He frowns slightly. He's not normally this worried about other people. He winces in remembered pain at something, and turns off the video.]

wildandtough

I don't understand nuthin'!

What is this thing on my wrist? What's goin' on?

This ain't home!

This sucks!

[and that would be the sound of a can getting kicked before the feed turns off.]
