First Star of Fate ☯

[Video]

[Hey it's one of those newcomers on the Network today! This particular girl is sitting with perfect posture, dipping her head in a polite bow to the camera.]

Hello, my name is Aoi Misato. I'm sorry for not formally introducing myself before, but it took me a few days to settle in.

According to the news report that recently went out, we will be allowed to participate in the Grand Prix, correct? I'm interested in joining the competition, but to do that I would need to practice first. I still haven't awakened my... Persona yet, so I will have to rely on my own abilities instead.

[She continues without even missing a beat, completely glossing over that small stumble. She's obviously used to speaking publicly.]

I will be in the Capricorn district, so if anyone is willing to be a sparring partner, I would be extremely grateful.

[A small pause here. She can practically hear half of her friends from home scolding her for this, but...]

I also have noticed that I am exempt from curfews due to being a visitor. I was thinking of patrolling at night - does anyone have advice for dealing with the demons at that time? There was a... similar situation where I come from, so I would like to do what I can to help here as well.

Thank you for your time.

[Action; Capricorn]

[And sure enough, Aoi is indeed in the Capricorn district, dressed in a hakama and armed with a naginata. With no current sparring partner, she is instead practicing strikes on an invisible opponent. She definitely has the technique down, if nothing else.]

a slightly less valid response [text]

Boyish looks and nerdy charm? What the hell is that supposed to mean?! I think I'm being insulted... Σ(-`Д´-ノ;)

A Valid Response [Text]

[Someone's had her attention pointed to the news, and feels compelled to comment on it...]

..."scream queen", really? i am unsure whether i should be flattered or scandalized.

[Video] ATTN: DEMON TAMERS

[The feed, ironically, opens with a pixie. However, given she's wearing a labcoat, it's probably Ceu.]

Good afternoon. I do not want to interrupt everyone's...recently acquired subjects of fervor, [The tournament.] but Sir and I have a request to those who have experience with demons, or taming in general. If you could respond here with your specific skills, this would be appreciated.

[The entire time she spoke, Ceu stayed stiff and formal.]

Also, to those who did not receive responses to their request for employment, we apologize for the delay. However, there was a pressing matter we were required to aid with, which still has Sir's attention even now.

Thank you for your time, and attention. Ceu out.

[A bow, and the feed cut off.]

When the feed snaps on, Desco is...sort of fidgeting nervously.

"Uh, um, Desco just found out about the tournament thing, and she wants to prove that the Final Boss is always the strongest! But, um..."

She taps the tips of the two claws that correspond to index fingers against each other as she stammers.

"Desco doesn't know how to use her Persona yet, so is there anyone that can train Desco? Desco will share the rewards with you!"

[Private to that Suou Guy - Video]

Hey...this might be a weird question, but do you know anyone named Tatsuya or Katsuya Suou? The first is a friend of mine, and the other was an Arsonist Detective in Sumaru City. Their dad was a cop too...

Ring any bells?

[Private Network - Audio]

*A calm and soft deep voice has left a message on the private network.*

The plan for this "Grand Prix" is not sound. I wish to monitor the movements of the crowd in and out of the building myself, but for that, I will need assistance. Is anyone among you willing to lend a hand? Additionally, if one of you is a sniper, it would be of great help.

[voice | private to the keyderps]

...We need to talk. I'm coming home early from work, if you would like to meet in person at Pisces Apartments.

Shortly after Guybrush...

[VIDEO]

...Blithering idiots aside, this plan they've sent us is ridiculous. Honestly, are we solving our problems by wishing on fairy stories now? Next thing we know we're going to try to spread a rumor that bending over three times and clucking like a chicken will restore the world back to its original state.

Preposterous. I thought maybe the leadership of this city would be brighter than the Anoli. I suppose that was optimistic.

We need to have a meeting as soon as possible. My place is fine.

[And that's really all that needs to be said.]

*Some rumors come true, eh? Some rumors. Hmm. Some --

You mean all this time I've been talking about rumors about stuff in town and I could've been spreading a rumor I was about to get a million dollars instead?! I don't believe this!

{ video } VI.

I know I'm a little late, but there's a special way we celebrate the new year in my world. { Garnet is smiling and rosy-cheeked today. There is a very fuzzy scarf around her neck, which is, unfortunately, tickling her cheeks. She reaches up to scratch one, only succeeding in making herself look rosier. }

Close your eyes and think about last year. Remember all the friends you made, all the trials you overcame and those...you may have lost. { Her voice wobbles. } Hold those memories close to your heart and then...let them go. Imagine them flying up into the heavens like so many birds and let yourself have a clean slate.

You can make this year into anything you want, I know it. Good luck.

The Third Move [Audio]

...is that what they are? [Ciel sounds oh so smug.] They could prove useful after all. [He seems to be making use of futuristic technology (for him) because typing can be heard clearly over the connection.] Sebastian, I believe I found a loop-hole.

[That last sentence isn't directed at anyone in particular considering Sebastian isn't in this world, which still vexes the little Earl.]

Are our Personas really a mystery until we discover them? [He chuckles coldly.] What a farce.

I believe I have solved the riddle to excelling in this game.

For those who don't wanna read leet )

ITP: Questions

[Four months. January would mark her fourth month in this place and Arturia is very, very confused. This is a place where special abilities are not only accepted, but commonplace, and there's little chance of the Grail War coming here. She always hated keeping secrets back home, but had understood the why of it. It bothered her, but she had accepted this as a fact of life.

Even more than that, Shinji weighs on her mind. Shinji had been a jerk, there was no question about that. The girls who followed him around were the type of teenage girl who seemed to think that sort of person was a real man. Arturia knew better than that just from spending so much time with Sakura. The only reason Arturia had not tried beating him to a pulp for what he did to his sister had been due to Sakura asking her to leave him be and stay out of it. It angered her to just stand by and yet....

...yet when she gets back home, she has every intention of going to the Matou home and telling Sakura in person that her brother is dead. Arturia has no idea how to tell her and the thought of lying to Sakura and creating a cover story leaves her slightly ill whenever she thinks of it since, in the end, Arturia feels like she is the one responsible. Archer may have put the bullet through Shinji's brain, but he had been Arturia's Servant.

There had to have been an alternative. There had to be.

Once she figures out how to post anonymously on the Network, she does so.]

When is it acceptable to kill someone?

For that matter, when would you say it is acceptable to keep secrets.?

[Yes, it's late at night/early in the morning. Link's up anyway.]

i have a question.

what does it mean to you to be a hero?


[Look, his typing is getting better!]

First Cell ♉ Video

[Even though Kyoji has been in Hinoto-Ri for about a week now, this is his first appearance on the network. Seems he was waiting to be sure the spontaneous singing had stopped. A theory that seems to prove accurate by what he says.]

This is truly a remarkable piece of technology. Though I would have preferred a system that did not directly fuse to my body. [He sighed.] But there is no helping that. Hopefully those types of malfunctions will be rare.

My name is Kyoji Kasshu. I apologize for not introducing myself earlier, but the malfunctions seemed to be making communication a bit... difficult. [And awkward.]
