[When the feed comes on, not only is it unusual because it's being broadcast on the public network, viewable by practically everyone in the city, but it's also tilted down at someone who is laying on the floor, wincing in pain, clearly coming from the watch on his wrist.

For those of you who have met the other Joshua, this one would look familiar... However there were two distinct differences. One, most noticeably, there's a large scar going down the left (his right) side of his face, from above his brow down to his chin, over his eye; that eye is also very clearly blind. The other difference was the black metal collar around his neck, bearing some numbers on it. And it was... smoking?? Were those black scorch marks on his skin underneath the collar.]

Well, I've decided that perhaps now is a good a time as any to give out a public service announcement to anyone from Alpha Omega... do not try to tamper with your collars. We may be universes away and yet I'm certain that Val is still laughing at us.

[He gives a bitter smile which quickly fades into an embarrassed scowl as he turns his gaze away from the camera with his next admittance.]

... Also, I can't move.

[Major electrocution kind of took a toll on him... On top of locked up muscles he thinks he might have sprained his ankle, maybe his other wrist too. Everything was simultaneously numb and throbbing painfully...]

Revolutionaries. [The bored drawl of an English boy begins this feed. Ciel has heard enough of the Anoli and, suffice to say, he isn't impressed.]

Creating chaos in government won't do any good. Unless, of course, your goal is something other than changing the government for the better.

[He takes a bite of something. It's crunchy. It might be candy.]

You are a fool if you engage in such activities. While I do not relish being under the control of anyone other than Her Majesty, Queen Victoria, I know well enough to stay away from the seeds of anarchy.

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?

[The COMP's a bit canted to the side; Rune's on her bed, and you can see her legs dangling back and forth in the air behind her as she pokes at a piece of paper she's been writing on. She's keeping her head up with one hand, so she sounds a bit weird as she talks.]

So... guys, been tryin' to write down Anoli stuff after that stuff that was painted all over the city... and I just kinda don't get it? I mean, other than what happened at the tournament, do we really have anything that proves these guys as bad guys other than what the government people tell us?

[She made a face, poking at the paper with her pencil again.]

I hate cover up crap like this...

nofairy

[The video clicks on, and Link (the younger one) is grinning and waving. There's a ball of fur in the shot, too. Link pats it before talking.]

There's someone I'd like to introduce to you guys!

[He tilts the camera down to reveal a very happy fluffball of a puppy. Said puppy barks and wags his tail.]

I'd like to, but I don't know what to name him! ... I've never named something before. Epona already had her name. Um... what would you guys suggest for a name?

GENIUS INVENTOR FOR HIRE

Yo! Listen up Hinoto-Ri Visitors! Name's Lash, I am a Commanding Officer, Scientist, Inventor and all-around Wunderkind of the Black Hole Forces in Wars World.

And...I'm bored!!!!!

I have no idea what to do, so in an attempt to cure this problem, I figured that the most logical way to scratch that itch would be to to ask all of you if you need something built! Name it, I'll do it! Guns, tanks, rayguns, deathrays, machine guns, semi-automatics...

[She goes on listing a bunch of weapons of mass destruction. Lash seems to specialize in that type of thing...]

And I can repair stuff too! I'll even throw a few things extra as a bonus!

[...This can only end terribly.]

dreamsonwings

How do you handle being alone?

[She's been here for two weeks and yet she should be happy. There's more people around, no crazy experiments or monsters, or anyone suffering a lot. But Sora...she feels out of place somehow. Perhaps it's because she hasn't seen her home in nearly two years or that no one from Fortuna managed to get here either, being rather worried.

Seriously, what the hell is with these sudden feelings of suck?]

feminine_carnivore

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. ]

leadthebeats

[ Yuri decides to turn on the feed, if only because she has some several important questions to ask several people regarding this place. And some not as important things. ]

So, Hinoto-Ri.

It seems that you just brought me in just in time for a very special day. [ That special day is actually tomorrow, and it's her birthday. ] But that's not really important right now. Anyway, I'm Yuri — the leader of the Shinda Sekai Sensen, otherwise known as the Afterlife Battlefront. I got here recently, so I still have some important questions to ask.

First and foremost: if there's anyone who's any good at sewing make sure to contact me right away, either through this post or my inbox. We can talk about the exact details in private that way, after all.

Also, I'd like to apologize for any problems some certain idiots who are wearing this emblem. If they've caused any major problems, however, I'd like to know about them.

[ And she'll actually show the emblem that's stitched onto the arm of her outfit to everyone. Hopefully they really haven't been causing any trouble.

... At least besides the commotion that happened when she first showed up. ]

And last but not least: does anyone know what forms these 'Personas' can show up as? It's important that I know for sure.

(ooc: just wanted to say that replies will be slow and many of them will probably be backtagged!)

It's taken me too long to post this. Sorry about that.

Anyway, my school, the Knight Academy, showed up in the city weeks ago. I've been trying to get everything in order and save up some money since then so I can open it to the public. I think it would be a good place for people to learn things like swordplay and archery, especially since we have a sparring hall dedicated to practicing swordsmanship. There's a few rooms available for people who want to stay there. It's not a lot, though. Three of them are already taken, so I have...five left. We have a kitchen, so anyone who likes to cook can work there. Oh, and teachers. If you're interested in teaching swordplay or archery, I'd love to hear from you... I don't have a lot of money to offer, but I can give you something, at least.

If you're interested in anything I wrote, just respond to me here. Thanks!

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.

[[ ooc: inbox link now edited to something less not his ic inbox am sorry ]]

Hey guys, I think we may have our first real task here. I'm sure you've seen the graffiti all over the place, right? I think if we take time out to go and help clean that up, then it'll look good in the eyes of the public. If we can work together with some of the natives too, that'll help us get to know them better. So I hope your scrubbing arms are prepared! Let's go out there and make a difference.

( And then, a little extra: )

aurathread

No matter how many monsters I beat, I can't level up. I know this isn't The World, but since I'm in my body from there I should be able to level up, right?

It's not working and it's really annoying.

There aren't any quests or events to do either. It's annoying.

imthegoodguy

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?

terminally_clever

[After spending some time looking around town, talking with locals, and efficiently gathering information, Fumi's ready to introduce herself to the network. Except it's not so much an introduction as a combination lecture / interrogation. She doesn't have time for idle pleasantries - there is a new research topic afoot. Her face is expressionless as she launches right into her diatribe.]

Persona.

A concept first introduced by Swiss psychologist Carl Jung in the early twentieth century, described as 'a kind of mask, designed on the one hand to make a definite impression upon others, and on the other to conceal the true nature of the individual.'

[Dry and pedantic, just like she likes it. Although at this point, her features take on a hint of frustration.]

I have vague memories of having heard this word shortly before waking up in this city, and given the rather abrupt nature of my arrival, I feel safe in assuming the word holds a more significant meaning in this place than would normally be suggested by traditional psychological terminology. I've also gathered that I'm far from the only person to have arrived in this way, or to have experienced that vague dream upon arrival.

So, Hinoto-Ri, what can you tell me about the Persona phenomenon, and what is the most efficient way to awaken one? Please make your responses as brief and concise as possible. I may have found my next research topic.

[The woman smiles before ending the feed and waiting for responses.]
