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.

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: )

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?

[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.]

The feed snaps on to reveal a little girl with horns and three eyes staring into the camera, her face twisted up into an angry sort of scowl. Without any preamble, she launches into an angry tirade.

"What is the corrupternment here doing?! Desco is getting fed up with how badly the political process is being mangled in this town! It offends her pride as a former senator!"

She crosses her arms over her chest and harrumphs angrily.

"Desco made a standard speech and used all the normal political boilerplate, and the humans she was talking to became a mob! And not even the useful kind - it was a panicked mob! Mr. Green Hair said that it was because Desco scared them!"

She starts gnawing distractedly on the tip one claw, still scowling.

"What is going on that the humans here are afraid of the political process? It's stupid! Next you will be telling Desco that the officials are elected or something, instead of just overthrowing the previous regime!"

Current Mood: irate

When the video starts, one will see Shoutarou standing outside of a pool hall - he adjusts his hat a bit before speaking.

"Hello, Hinoto-Ri. The name's Hidari Shoutarou, and I'm here with some news for you all, and a couple of questions.

To start, a rather unexpected thing has happened - whatever strange powers surround this place have seen fit to bring my detective agency building here. I suppose that means I'm stuck here for the long haul, I may as well start offering my services as a private detective. Just come see me in Pisces district, at the Narumi Detective Agency."

There's a pause, then Shou frowns and huffs. "...of course, whoever brought it here has a hell of a sense of humor, and put it across the street from the other Narumi Detective Agency..." The camera jerks, and points to the other one for a moment.

"The city's still working on getting power connected to the building, but I'm gonna call it open for business anyway now that I've moved in."

He clears his throat, and looks just a little more serious. "As for the questions - has anyone here heard of the Transmigration 9? It was where I was before I wound up here. Just wondering if any other crewmembers are here. My other question..." His face turns a bit awkward at this point. "...does anyone have any advice on taking care of a kitten? I've dealt with an adult cat that knows how to behave already before, to a degree, but a kitten is outside my experience."

nemophila

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?

[Oh look who it is! It's your resident, deluded God. It seems they have crawled out of whatever hole they had been hidden in for the past month, looking just as thoughtful as ever]

Hello, Hinoto-Ri. A lot has occurred recently, hasn't it? I heard there had been a mystical journey to an alternative world! I wish I could have gone. It would have been amazing to see the denizens of the other world, to see how they lived and acted... differences occur in different worlds, as Hinoto-Ri is-

Oh, my apologies. I have rambled.

In any case, I am certain that many of you have discussed the events that have passed extensively between yourselves. My discussion is of a trivial, yet very important matter! A recent conversation has made me ponder over something that still eludes me, and relates to my previous comments on how my world, and Hinoto-Ri, are very different from one another.

What is fashion?

I did not know what this was when first arriving here, but I have read and researched the subject, and fashion seems to be a very important cultural and social aspect of humanity! Just having the correct clothes, worn in the correct way, with the correct brand allows you to climb the social ladder with ease! I don't really understand it, but the concept of it fascinates me!

I would love to hear your opinions on it! Let us begin a discussion!

misogynistic

[Locked away from the IT, especially Rise's damn mouth.]

Sheesh... All this Junes Invasion stuff has really gotten out of hand for the police!

[Behind Adachi is another officer trying to calm down a rabid fangirl. It isn't working out too well.]

But before that, I guess I should introduce myself! I've been having to go around town a lot, especially since all this mess started, yet I don't remember doing too much introducing and whatnot... I'm-- [Seriously? One of the girl's sharp yells cuts off Adachi, and he glances behind him.] --ah, hey! Come on, you can't just headbutt an officer!

[Adachi grimaces.] ...I better make this quick, then. I'm Adachi, and... [More and more keeps on happening over his shoulder.] Don't worry about this mess. We've got it covered!

[Yet, he still nervously glances behind himself to check up on it before back down at his COMP.] Y-Yeah, you can count on the Hinoto-Ri police! Now, if you'll excuse me... [However, a few seconds before he cuts off the feed, the sort of riot isn't settling...] H-He-- [Then it blacks out.]

[OOC: If you could answer his permissions, that would be awesome!]

[Kanji is...admittedly really bad at keeping up with the times around here. He'd been way too concentrated on getting his little plush toy booth up and running in the Scorpio district, spending most of the week after his return from the tower in his room, working diligently. Unfortunately, he'd soon realize the folly of his ways and that that it would have better for him to do so, considering the strange events that have been happening all day when he finally did go out...in the afternoon, he finally posted something on the network.]

This might seem like a strange question to ask, but has anyone else be approached by the girls and...older women from the city asking you to bite them? It's freaking me out....

[He had to run away from a crowd at one point. For someone who always had trouble with girls, this is an even worse personal experience. But maybe if he'd actually listened to Yu's dramatic reading, or gone to Junes this week Kanji would have had a good idea of what is going on. Right now, there is only confusion. That would probably change soon.]

nyantan

are there any good fabric stores around the city? i'm starting to run a little low on supplies, and this place seems like it has a lot of variety to offer. additionally, how does one go about finding a job? i'd hate to be sitting around here on the governments dime without actually contributing anything to the city... plus some extra money wouldn't be too bad.

thanks!

[Action 1: Looking for bakeries]

[Yukiko is out and about getting ideas for that specific day. One in particular: cakes. Normally she would think about making one from scratch but somehow it always messes up. Besides, it wouldn't be just for the birthday boy but anyone else who comes. There is no way she wants to be responsible if anyone gets sick off her cooking even if she has been improving a bit. Not taking any chances. So she'll be looking at bakeries and see what kinds of goodies they have.]

[Action 2: Pet Store]

[She already has an idea what kind of present to get but it's hard to choose just one.

Her dilemma: picking a cat.

How can she choose just one?! They're all so cute! Those faces are like 'Pick me! Take me home!' How do people choose so easily??]

[Xion looks to be a bit of a mess. Her hair is tousled, there's a small bruise rising along her cheekbone and a few scratch marks, nothing bad enough to draw blood at least, but enough to leave bright red marks. But more than anything the expression on her face is supremely tense and frustrated. There's also the sound of someone moving in the background, though they seem to be cleaning up.]

If you're in that stupid book, be careful. If they find out where you live they might try to find a way into your house and they don't like being told to leave.

[Especially by a girl who could easily be a "rival."These fangirls are nuts and she is utterly sick of them already.

There's a brief pause as the person offscreen makes some comment that can't entirely be heard, though the irritated words "need to be 'shown' the door" can be made out. Those who recognize voices might recognize that it's Xehanort. She sighs briefly through her nose in exasperation.]

Yeah, no kidding.

[Terra, Aqua, guys can we please figure out a way to keep them out.]

Anyway, guys I'm going to be home late tonight. I'm supposed to check out this new club for somebody.

[She seems similarly unsure about the prospect. She half turns her head to look at someone, presumably the person moving earlier, saying "Do you think-" as the feed shuts off.]

trainwrecking

[ Good afternoon, Hinoto-Ri! The feed opens to the aerial tramway; the platform blurs in and out of focus, eventually settling on a pair of teenage boys. The influx of newcomers is nothing new, but this group might be familiar to some. They aren't freshly new, but they still don't fully understand their situation.

As another voice addresses the network directly, acting as the leader of the bunch, the redhead on screen fusses with his watch. This prompts the purple-haired boy leans over to see, an imposing and trademark halberd resting at his shoulder. ]

Ah... Hello everyone! I'm Hinata, and this is Otonashi and Noda, look over here and wave, holding our first... "Afterlife Level 2" meeting, at... where is this again..? Ahh, this says Pisces...

Oh, the tramway station in Pisces!

We're looking for the other members of our battlefront! I've already found Otonashi and this idiot... So if anyone sees someone with a uniform like ours, or with a uh... Otonashi, can you turn to the side for a second? [ The redheaded boy turns to the side as he's asked, and the owner of the watch gets closer to show off, albeit haphazardly, the patch on his companion's jacket. ] If anyone recognizes this patch, or has seen anyone with it, please tell us!

( A wise woman once said: our weakness is that we're morons. )
((Blue is Hinata, orange is Otonashi and purple is Noda. Responses can come from any one of them or potentially all three!))
