[Public Post, Visitor Network Text]

[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.]

Text;

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!

5th Cooking Attempt [Voice to certain parties/Action to All]

Voice to Yu's friends and Social Links (Excluding Adachi) )


[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??]

COMP Network

[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.]

video/action available!

[ 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!))

3rd Whistle [text]

This may seem like an odd question, but it's something I am curious about and haven't found much information.

That and I haven't been in this city for that long.
[A couple months isn't that long to some people, and normally Blues wouldn't think of it as a short time either but hey. Things are different here.]

I was wondering if anyone has actually been underneath the city?

001 » [text]

Compared to that tower this city is really 8oring.
What the hell do you do for fun around here?

Second Curse

[Anonymous Text]

How do you get your persona to shutup

[Action; Cancer District]

[His wonderful plan of letting himself get mauled during the Thirteenth Hour didn't exactly work, so now he's just hanging around the city. He really should get a job; the extra money from the government that had been waiting for his return would pay for food for a little while, but not long. Still, it's hard to be motivated to apply when you can't even really bring yourself to want to socialize at all.

Aah, and his favorite arcade got ransacked recently too. He doesn't even have a good distraction to keep his thoughts at bay and, more importantly...

...The words of his own Persona.

Yaiba Mizushiro remains unsummoned, but his voice rings loud and clear in the back of Hizumi's mind. And if this continues...

He really might lose himself to the curse, age of twenty be damned.

Video

[The video feed flicks on to show DeDeDe standing in front of a well-stocked bar.  The lighting is low at the moment, as there's still no electricity in the club, but enough sunlight is filtering through the windows to make the scene visible.  The massive penguin man quirks an eyebrow and gives a small upnod before offering a casual wave.]

Afternoon, Hinoto-Ri.  Seems this city's even more generous than I thought.

[He gestures behind him.]

It's seen fit to return a little business venture I was runnin' back home.  Now I've never been one to look a gift horse in the mouth, and seein' as it's here and I'm here, I'm plannin' to reopen for business in a couple of weeks.  This here's the Penguin's Nest, in the Taurus District right down the same street as that pirate bar and Nyx's place.  I'm lookin' to turn it into a respectable establishment where adults can go to enjoy a few drinks, a little music, and the pleasure of each other's company.

[In other words, it's a sex club.]

'Course, a place like this don't just run itself, so I'm lookin' for some local talent to help me keep the place up.  Bartenders, bouncers, dancers, musicians... you got somethin' you can do that you think might fit in here, you just give me a holler and we'll see if we can't work somethin' out.

Don't got much in the way of signage right now, so just look for the warehouse with the door marked 'Private Entrance.'  I'll be lookin' to remodel the place a bit to draw in some more business once we get up and runnin'.  I'll be here 'til it gets dark if you'd rather hash things out face to beak.  Just ask for DeDeDe.

[He flashes a grin at the feed.]

Well, that's all I got for now.  You all have yourselves a marvelous day.

[video/text]

[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...


[...Was that a dog whining.]

*The video feed turns on and a familiar figure appears, lit up by the screen of the COMP and the edges of her own markings. She has a hairclip in her hair that... it looks like a flower, but not any flower she is familiar with.*

All right people who read that crappy novel, fess up: am I in it? *She points to her hairclip.* Because I think I got a fan.

[Somebody's on the network today. Somebody looks both nauseated and pissed off. ... This somebody's also been absent thanks to Tower shenanigans. S'up guys, AU!Haseo's back from the Tower of Animus.]

So, any complaints I had about staying here? Revoked. This place is goddamn paradise, and I got a bone to pick with whoever thought dragging us over to that goddamn place was a brilliant idea.

Did I miss anything while I was out? Also, yeah, hi, I'm back.

[And that's that. Yep.]

[video]

[Hey, that sure looks like one of the guys from the cover of the book. Or at least fairly similar to him.

He looks rather harried and unhappy, hair disheveled, a wild look to his eyes.]


This book is madness. What has overcome these people? They keep trying to grab me in the streets. I'm--

[A pause as he roughly manhandles someone squealing "OH EM GEE IT'S EARTH!!"] I am not the one you seek! Leave me alone!

[And back to the viewing public] To the others who actually are featured in that... waste of paper... it may be better to lay low.

[Some hours later]

Hey, Hinoto-Ri! I've never been happier to be here, let me tell you. It's almost like going home, after the Tower...but anyway, that's not why I'm posting.

For those of you who don't know me, I'm Rise Kujikawa. I'm an idol back home, which is a singer and an actor for people who aren't from Japan, and I got to thinking about something that my horoscope says I should bring up now - there's a lot of singers and performers in town! I've met plenty, and I know there's more hanging around, so I was wondering if anyone's ever thought of organizing a concert or something. After the last couple of months, I think people might need the kind of break some nice music can give...and I think most people have forgotten about that mess with the Jacks. I hope.

Anyway, I'm not a producer or anything, but I figure if enough of us got together we could figure something out! So...who wants to put on a concert?

Data File 1 [Video]

[The video displays a blue haired girl with a slightly confused, but mostly contemplative look on her face.]

So a lot of people have been talking about this new book both on the streets and the network and I thought it might be a good way of getting a better understanding of humans and the types of things they like to do.

I was able to get a digital copy so I could read it quickly, but it's a little confusing. I mean, I know it's suppose to be fiction, but sometimes it can show trends in reality.

So are relationships usually that complicated? Or with so many people?

Are rivalries actually just a cover for some deeper relationship between the rivals, or was that just wishful thinking on Mimini's part?

When people are in love, do they really hurt each other like that? Because I was under the impression humans don't like pain and try to avoid it, but it seemed that one character was really enjoying the pain...

Maybe I should read the first book, but I just got here and everyone was talking about this book, so I wanted to keep up with the current topic.

first ♫ video

[Nagisa's cheeks are a little bit red when she gets on the network - you can all blame the fact that she stumbled onto a certain livereading of a certain second book in a certain ~hawt smexy book trilogy~ and still hasn't quite gotten over the embarrassment - but she's putting on a smile for the network today.]

I didn't really get a chance to introduce myself to everyone before I got taken off to that awful tower, so I thought I should do that while I was thinking about it.

Hello, everyone! My name is Nagisa Motomiya, and I'm a 77th generation understudy for the idol group AKB0048! It's very nice to meet everyone.

That kind of brings me to my second and third questions. I know that I'm away from home, but being part of 0048 is still really important to me. I don't want to get behind in my music and dance lessons. Is there a place I can go to keep taking them?

Ah, and I guess that brings up the third question, since I'd want to pay for them myself if I can...I helped out in my friend Yuuka's parents' restaurant when they needed extra hands back at home, so I have some experience there. Mostly with helping wait tables, but I can cook a little bit, too. If there's any cafes or anything that need someone to help, I'd be interested.

Um, thank you all very much!

[video]

[There's a (seemingly) nineteen-year-old woman on the feed again, holding up a copy of the latest book in the teens/young adults section just high enough for the watch on the table to capture it.]

For those who noticed I was gone for most of last month... I'm back.

[And somehow, all the horrors of Helltower did not prepare her for what she returned to. She reads a page, flips it, then tears the page out of the book.]

I'd say it's nice knowing not much changed, but-

[Suddenly, the page is on fire and not burning her as it's reduced to smoke and a fine ash that falls into a bucket at her feet.]

...I think some things--

[Reading, reading... Oh how she used to love reading and-- wait "Water" is the girlfriend of Earth!? And they're siblings?! NOOOOOOOOOOO. NOOOOOOOOOOO. DOES NOT COMPUTE. DOES NOT COMPUTE. DOES NOT COMPUTE.]

...can go unsaid.

[Yeah. Yeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaah. She glares at the book, still burning it page for page. Now she gets why her brother was on anon.

She places down the book, and calmly and maturely decides to say as follows:]


If you decide to burn your copies or want them reduced to ashes, please send them to me. I think I have an... appropriate use for them.

And if anyone starts calling me "Water...

[Oh, hello there venom in tone. (Where do they even get their information, anyway...?) Regardless, the feed ends soon after. Though the scent of burning pages can be smelled all throughout the Castle of Departure.]

[Video] || [Locked from Nanako] || [I regret nothing]



[Yep. Most of you have seen this already, but that damn book appears on your screens this early morning, folks. After a moment, it pulls away to reveal Yu yet again, curled up on the couch in front of the TV in the living room of the Dojima house, about ready to take advantage of this horrible concoction of troll-ness.]

This One is SFW-is )

[text]

It seems those of us who were taken to the tower have returned. Has everyone returned safely?

For those who were here in Hinoto-ri: did anything happen while we were gone? Did you know what had happened to the rest of us?

I just hope that, if and when this happens again, we can be a bit more prepared next time.


VERY Public.

*Somebody might've gone to find out why his face was on that book. Somebody might've found out about his book persona.

Sometime later, on pretty much every network...*


I'M MARRIED, FOR CRIMINY'S SAKE!
