[Faris appears in the frame tossing a red-tinted crystal shard.]

Y'know, if we were all chosen for this I figured I'd try something.

See this crystal shard here?

Well, long story short it lets chosen warriors get powers and skill from long-dead heroes or something like that. I dunno whether it'll work for everyone, or anyone really, but why not?

[A few seconds of silence later...]

...Oh yeah, I've only got five of 'em so act quick if you want one. An' I expect 'em back.

[A very flustered-looking Apollo Justice is on the camera today, his hair points drooping every which way as they are prone to do when Apollo is in such a state. Apollo speaks rapidly, apparently not caring if he has to repeat himself or if he sounds unintelligible.]

Wh-what happened?! It wasn't March when I was last here! What am I doing back here, and more importantly, does anyone know how I left?!

[Deeeeeep breath.]

Prosecutor Blackquill! I know we didn't get to talk much when we first met, but I know who you are now! If you're still here, that is.

Can someone catch me up on what I've missed? A rundown on everything from December onward would be great. Also, has anyone seen Genevieve? You know, the redheaded pixie who was following me around after her trial?

[There were many things that Kanji didn't like bringing out in the public. One of them being that he knew of Ted's...-ahem- tendencies to latch on to girls, and he didn't want someone like Nano disappointed. I mean, it's not like he considered her a friend or something (but yes he did. Running an inn together does that.) He just wants to make sure that his little fuzzy friend's real serious about this. So a little after he's had this conversation, Kanji attempts to send a private post to Teddie...but fails. Someday. Someday he'd realize he can change the settings properly.]

Ted.
Is it true? 'bout you and Nano...

[The tone of his voice is very much 'you better not be kidding around.']

[The feed switches on to the sight of one (1) agitated lineface and her uncle, seemingly poring over Jack's COMP. Agatha looks a mite bit more irritated than usual, and Jack... looks like he's lost in concentration.]

...There is no shame in asking for help - ah, especially since the COMP already appears to be on. How did you even manage that, Uncle?

I... ... I don't know, actually. All I did was touch a few things over here... [Jack points, dejectedly, off to one side of the screen.]

... [Siiiigh.] I - Seriously?

[She shakes her head and then nods at the 'camera' as it were.]

... At any rate, er, hello network. I am Agatha Sheridan, this is my uncle Jack.

[Jack waves a bit, perhaps a little over-eagerly.] Uh... hi. This is kind of awkward.

Perhaps you have already met us. We have a request. Uncle has been here for several months already and still cannot operate the COMP properly. [She glances over to Jack, who looks back at her with a lopsided smile and a soft 'eheheh...'.] ... I'm not really much of a teacher, so if someone could explain how this thing works to him? I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

[Quietly, sounding more like a whining child than a grown man, Jack adds:]

This is so complicated, I don't see why they can't just give us cell phones...

((OOC Note: As this is a joint post, note that Agatha or Jack may answer! Expect potential threadjacking, etc. etc. etc.))

[ She's been sparse with using this network of things for help, but from her recent adventures in the 13th Hour, she's realized it's inconvenient to not have an unlimited stock of ammunition and guns to throw away at her expense. It's not quite 'normal' to go up to someone and ask for a gun or bullets. She still had the appearance for a kid, even if she had gone through so many Aprils.

It's down to this, then. ]


What's the easiest way to obtain ammunition? Also, I'd like to know how easy it is to find a job. I imagine any rounds will cost money no matter what and I currently do not have the resources to purchase them at the moment.

Thank you for your aid.


[ And now, to wait. ]

I have been in this city for a little over a month. So far, I have met a great number of humans, and others who, despite appearing similar to humans, are something else entirely. I must admit, this is something that interests me. What sorts of creatures live in Hinoto-Ri? What manner of anatomical diversity can be found here? I would appreciate any and all information available.

[This is the kind of knowledge that's crucial to someone like him, after all.]

Additionally, I would like to encourage anyone reading this to visit my humble bakery, Death By Chocolate, located in the Virgo district. My work may be a recent addition to the city, but I strive to offer the most delicious baked good that can be bought. Thank you kindly for your attention.

[Really, he shouldn't be using this detestable thing. Some of its functions are helpful, but the babbling and barking of the masses, not as much. Still, there is something on his mind, and he has seen enough to know that there are some people who come here from worlds very different than his own. Even Hinoto-Ri's laws had needed studying before he could even attempt to practice law. Perhaps there is some measure of knowledge amongst the filth here.]

What is "truth" to you? And how far would you go to pursue it?

[Of course, he knows full well whom this message could reach... but he'll try to ignore that person just the same.]

[A visibly distressed Sasha Fyer appears on the screen, her red eyes even redder from crying. Her voice hurried and panicked, she says:]

Has anyone seen a little fox-like creature around here? He's yellow, he's got a white muzzle, red fur coming out of his ears, and a red tip on his tail. He responds to Fei. If anyone has seen him, please let me know! He's a creature called a Pact- no, a Pokemon! A Pokemon, that's right!

On a related note, does anyone know if a girl named Kotoha is still around? She helped me get Fei in the first place, so I'd like to talk with her, too...

A boy in a tight-fitting black T-shirt appears on screen and fiddles with the camera for a few minutes before it all looks satisfactory to him.

"So, um. What do you do for fun around here? Aside from going to Taurus, fighting the monster that go bump into the night and eating all the pizza you ever wanted? The jerks guarding Taurus won't let me in, there's no way I'm fighting monsters and I am getting sick of pizza.

Also, does anyone know if there's a ballet school around here? I've tried looking, but it doesn't seem very popular..."

[This is a very public post by the fairies...how did they get their hands on one of these anyway?]

Hiya! We just wanted to the Visitors to know that your friends aren't gone! We just felt that they needed a bit of love and friendship, so we're letting them stay over for a day or two!

[One of the fairies giggles and blows them a kiss.]

We promise they'll be back like they were yesterday and we won't harm them, okay? ♥

As the feed switches on, it reveals Desco, wearing a unusual outfit. Her normal dress-like arrangement of chitin, spines, and eyes is gone, replaced with a crisp white blouse with medium-length sleeves and a sharply-pressed black skirt. Perched over her red eyes is a set of round, wire-rimmed spectacles. The overall effect is that of an efficient, no-nonsense secretary, or perhaps an overly strict teacher.

Who happens to be four years old, but there's not much Desco can do about that.

"Listen up, students! Your munificent Queen has remembered she has a day job as a highly-paid teacher at Netherworld Institute Evil Academy! And if she wants to continue drawing medical benefits, she has to slack off and teach something other than her specialty of applied Minionology!"

With that, she thumps the ruler in her hand against the easel behind her.

"That is why today, Desco will be teaching the basics of Little Sister Moe! When Desco finishes drilling knowledge into your empty skulls, you will know EVERYTHING about the duties of a Little Sister!"

Class is in session! )

Since it's coming up soon, I've been wondering... Would anyone be interested in getting together to make chocolates for this year's Valentine's Day? I'm not sure how many of you are familiar with the day itself, but where I come from at least, it's traditional for girls to give chocolates or chocolate baked goods to the boys they like. Of course, it's nice to make sweets for your friends and family as well.

Since last year got a little... hectic around this time, I think it would probably be best if we did it on the twelfth. It's a little bit early, but I think as long as we're careful, it should keep long enough for Valentine's Day on the fourteenth.

I will be asking teachers at the Phoenix Free School if we can possibly use the home economics room, meaning this will also be open to Visitors and residents alike. I think it would be good for all types of students to have an opportunity to get together and prepare for the holiday.

Even if you don't have any experience with cooking or aren't confident in your abilities, please consider coming! I'm best with simple things myself, so if it's a matter of making those, I would be happy to help. And if those who have more experience would like to come and help teach others, that would also be appreciated!

[Well, this is certainly something he doesn't see every day. He didn't expect the portal to the demon world to bring him to a place that looks as civilized as this. Not that he was complaining. First order of business, though- he figured out how to use this eventually, with experience involving the Gauntlet. Besides the odd vision and subsequent deportment...]

Good day. [He's talking to humans, hopefully.] I have a favor to ask. If anyone sees or has heard any word from two persons named Flynn and Walter, could you tell me? Even better if you can inform me of their whereabouts.

I would greatly appreciate if someone could tell me what this place is about, as well, but I understand if that's too much trouble. [Pause.] Is this part of the demon world?

[A certain minty-haired Visitor is on the screen today, his arm around the shoulders of a brown haired kid who may be familiar to some. Judging by the voices in the background, there’s about four people in all, even if they aren’t all visible on the camera yet.]

Hey! Lately, people have been coming by the Detective Agency thinking it’s functional again. At first we turned down requests since we’re obviously not detectives, but...

Well, maybe you should say it instead, Ayumu?


[Ayumu is pretty much resigned at this point, though his expression clearly seems to have some doubts about the wisdom of this idea. They were a bunch of kids and a tanuki, after all. Who’d go looking to them for help?]

This was your idea, not mine.

[There’s some yelling from off-screen.]

But it sounds like fun!

[Ayumu’s response is muttered.]

If anyone’s even interested...

But it’s like being a super-awesome spy!

[While they keep bickering amongst themselves, a certain assistant waltzes up to the feed and waves in that wonderfully cutesy fashion of hers. Yup, it’s Hiyono, alright.]

Ahem--what they’re trying to say is, we’re now open for business! I’ve even set up an inbox for you to send all of your requests to~

Right, right. And you were going to spread rumors too, weren’t you, Hiyono?

Mm-hmm! [The agreement is punctuated with her ever present smile -- and wait, is she proverbially sparkling as she does?] To be honest, I haven’t really worked with rumors that come true, but I guess there’s a first for everything, right?

[The look on the brown haired teen’s face is just a little wary. Ayumu could only imagine how much she was going to enjoy that….]

Well, you heard them. We’ll take on jobs if you have them in our spare time.

[There’s suddenly a tanuki squeezing his face into this shot. Except he’s in human form but whatever.]

Just try to make them interesting ones!

[Joint post! Responses will come from one of the four or more: Ayumu, Hizumi, Hiyono or Taro. Lots of threadjacking will be happening, most likely.]
