[The screen flickers on to reveal Apollo, who seems to appear a little more self-confident than usual, if such a thing can be quantified by appearance.]

Hey, everybody! This is Apollo Justice. I'm just letting you know that, as of yesterday, I've officially been hired as an attorney in Hinoto-Ri! So if any of you ever get into any legal trouble, like being falsely accused of murder, I could probably help you out. My first client in Hinoto-Ri is someone who's accused of murdering another person during the chaos of that incident in the arena. Wish me luck! [He's probably going to need it.]

By the way, I'm currently looking for someone to serve as my co-council. You might not think you're qualified to help out a lawyer, but believe me, if a 15-year-old magician girl could serve as a reliable co-council for me, I think some of you could, too. [Not to talk smack about Trucy or anything, of course.] Granted, said magician girl was the daughter of one of the best attorneys I know, but if you bring some deductive skills, I think you should be fine. If you're interested, just let me know and I'll tell you when I have to come into court.

The shop did well this month thanks to Valentine's Day. [Speaking of which, that reminds him that forgot to give a gift to Lizzie. She will be getting something late, though that shouldn't completely diminish the thought put behind it.] I have learned a great deal about what the city desires in the way confectioneries. I will happily submit my findings to the owner(s) of the shop and see if we cannot expand our market.

[Ciel is in his element yet there is trouble looming on the horizon.]

I would like to make one thing very clear: the candy shop is not a place for brawls or bad behavior. What ever issues you may have with one another do not concern me. Should you make a mess of things, I will have you pay for the damage.

Consider that a fair warning.

[Private to Lizzie.]

It would be a shame if you didn't look by your front door.

[She will find a package there. Inside the velvet lined box is this along with a note that says:

I hope this remind you of home.

Love,
Ciel]

Okay guys, listen up. I'm sure you've noticed that we've got a SERIOUS PR problem developing. As far as everybody else in town seems to be concerned, we're either celebrities or we're leeches and trouble magnets, and either way the longer we ignore this situation the more we're going to destabilize things. To that end, I think we need to band together and find ways to reach out to the natives, help them realize we're on their sides too. I'd like to propose starting a group to brainstorm ideas, work on PR, and generally work on our outreach. Otherwise, we may end up finding ourselves isolated, and that's not going to work at all.

Right now, though, we need a couple things: a place to meet, and a time. Is there anybody who could offer something like that? Someplace safe... and secure.

*There's an odd emphasis he places on "secure" for some reason.*

[When the video feed comes on, you might all recognize a very famous looking face appearing on your screens. One Yosuke Hanamura has got his COMP on his wrist aimed at his face, and he looks... terribly deep in thought about something. Concerned, even. And, for a change of pace, he seems to have actually posted to the entire public network.

This isn't just a message for the visitors, this is a message for all of Hinoto-Ri, one he's sure people are going to look at because of his mini-celebrity status. Boy it must be important.]

( Cut for length and crazy distortion!! Click to read more. )

blahblahblah

[A few of you saw this girl two weeks ago, when she hit the ground a cold, lost mess. She's looking better now, transmitting from what looks like an apartment.]

So... I've had some time to settle down and try to figure out what the hell is going on. I've got the basics of this place down well enough, but... there's a lot I'm still not getting. I think I'll figure it out as time goes on, though. There's no point in being a researcher if you let other people make your discoveries, after all.

That said, I've kind of been ignoring everything for the past several days, working this out. So, uh... hi? Does anyone have some free time they'd be willing to spend with me, or at least talk to me? I could stand to get out of my room. And I know myself well enough to know that if I try to go do something by myself, it'll turn into a research trip.

beautifulmemory

[Mia's been searching the city. First by foot, and then by network. Scrolling through post after post, ignoring most commentary unless it so amused her, until she finally comes to a realization.]

I left him behind, again. ...No. This time, I'm the one left behind.

[There's that terse silence.]

That was pointless to post. Instead, listen to these words:

"Evolution... does not always mean progress.
Evolution sometimes leads to an undesired vector.
It is arrogant for one to reject change because it is undesirable.
Rejection of change is the rejection of possibilities.
Allow diversity."

Tell me what something like this means to you. I think it's interesting, don't you?

[She could use a good distraction!]

Somehow... I seem to have missed Valentine's Day. I remember I was going to run by the store, but things get a little fuzzy...

[Yeah, her memories after getting hit by that arrow? Are so hazy she's pretty certain it was all just a dream. But maybe that's for the best.]

I was planning to give out chocolates, but it seems like I forgot to do that as well. Would anybody mind if I gave it to them today? I apologize for being late. I bought some extras, too, so even if we haven't met before, I don't mind sharing. Just let me know and I would be happy to give you one.

[And, as almost an afterthought-]

It sounds like almost everybody received coupons for a dinner for two. I was thinking, it might be nice if everyone went in a group. If we use the coupons for a pair of people each, we could use half of the coupons on one trip and then the other half for a second group dinner somewhere else. It would be a great way for everyone to relax and enjoy spending time with each other. Would anybody else be interested in doing this?

prototype_blues

[Now considering various events that happened this week? Blues has decided that staying in his apartment is totally the greatest idea ever. But that also means he kind of has to find someone to take the chocolate and free dinner pass since he can't eat the chocolate and honestly?

He's not a fancy dinner kind of guy or the chocolate eating type, ignoring the fact he doesn't eat human food.

So he's turned on the video of his glasses! And anyone watching it would be able to see the box of chocolates that everyone had been given by the City except...

Blues is wearing his sunglasses, so the screen is completely blacked out. But hey, at least he's talking so there is that!]

Uh... yeah so. I got these chocolates and they're going to go to waste here, really.

[He sounds awkward, somehow more awkward then when he made his first video on this thing.]

Anyone want it? Or erm, another free dinner pass? That's going to go to waste too. or something.

[Then it's just awkward silence and that black screen... Someone better tell him that he should take of his shades if he's gonna use the video function again.]

acapriciousthing

[While Death usually sounds very calm and confident, she speaks a little faster today. Time to completely destroy her credibility in another weird town!]

So, uh, bit of a weird question... let's say you admitted your feelings to someone. Because something strange happened. And then a few days later, you realized you actually both meant it.

Which day would actually count as your anniversary?

all_wound_up

[Hey there, Hinoto-Ri. There's a certain hardworking robot girl that's just about hit her limit tonight, and thanks to having accidentally turned on the broadcasting function of her watch while she was taking it off to do some work, you all get to see just what she's been dealing with ever since half the city disappeared.]

Ahhhhhh... I don't understand any of this! What am I supposed to do?

[Nano is loudly whining to herself while sitting at a desk. There are papers stacked and scattered everywhere haphazardly, along with several calculators sitting in various locations on the desk, paper streaming out of them like ticker tape at a parade. Other receipts are messily strewn about the desk and the room, and even more go flying as Nano pounds the desk in frustration before flopping forward onto it.]

I can't run a business! What was I thinking?

verytasty

[ Natsume doesn't feel entirely comfortable using the video or the audio functions to talk to so many people at once, but at the same time, he has this coupon and these chocolates and this money, and he has absolutely no idea what to do with them or why they were given to him. Why would the government bother with this? This whole place is so strange...

Besides, he's a little too shy to do anything like ask some random person to go with him or take that girl up on her blanket offer to the network. ]

I am sorry to bother everyone, but I have a coupon for a dinner for two, and I don't have a use for it. Would anyone else like it?

Also, is this kind of thing normal here?

not_that_scary

Ah, Atoli, I...

Um...

Well, I got this coupon, and I was wondering if maybe...

Well...

Want to go with me?

[That was absolutely pathetic 'Oh piss off']

spaztastic

Umm...

[Shiki shows the coupon she got from the city to the camera. She gives a sheepish laugh, definitely thinking what she was about to ask is a huuuuuuge long shot. Add the fact she can't believe she's going asking this.]

Sooo, does anyone want to go and have dinner with me?

[Adds quickly as an afterthought:]

Uh, as friends! The coupon said it's good for two so I thought why not? And it's the city's treat! Well... sorta.

[EHEM]

Any takers?

poweryetunknown

Here's a question.

Do birthdays count if you're dead?

[It's an important question, okay.]

killervocabulary

In light of recent events, I would like to offer my services to those who need them. While what I have to offer is...rather antiquated compared to the things in this world, it's still useful.

Firstly, if you need weapons or armor, I can craft them for you. However, I cannot enchant them, as I lack the means to do so in this world. Not that such enchantments are necessary for a weapon in the hand of a true warrior, but I've found they can be helpful. This world is full of strange things and people, perhaps there's someone else who can do so.

Secondly, I offer myself as someone to train with. I dare not count myself as some master of combat, but there is much to be learned from each other, especially with such a diverse group of people. This is as much for myself as it is for others.

Lastly, I again offer myself as an ally to those who cannot fight, or would like some assistance in facing the perils of this world. It's a bit reactionary, yes, but there's no harm in being prepared.

As these are services, payment would be appreciated, but isn't strictly necessary. I am willing to work with various situations, but if you come to me looking to get something for nothing, we will have a problem.

I am available via this communication device, or at Jorrvaskr in the Libra Ward - it's the building with a boat for a roof.
