[...So, if having everyone suddenly singing and dancing wasn't embarrassing enough?

There's this guy over here who was meaning to turn the feed on to ask for explanation on this madness.

Safe to say it didn't work at all.

So yeah, he's going to just turn it off and turn to text instead.]

[Text;]
...Does anybody know why we're suddenly living in a sodding musical, of all things that could have happened this month?

the_usual_stuff

good evening Hinoto-Ri. the oddity of the recent weather aside, i do hope you've been well!

i have a question to ask you; well several questions to be honest. a holiday celebrated by humans is coming up soon, correct? it's called christmas and you're supposed to buy gifts for your friends and loved ones and... put them under a tree. i'm not entirely sure why.

[At least, that's what he thinks it is about. The general gist of it; anyway hey, a chance to show he cares about ~~Minato and Minako~~ people and give them presents for the fun of it. But he needs to make absolutely sure he selects the right gifts! Which he has no experience shopping for. :D]

so, what would someone who enjoys music, spending time with their friends, and eating large amounts of food want for christmas? or someone who is loud, enjoys karaoke and talking about himself like as a present? i would appreciate input from others.

[PRIVATE TO RYOJI]

ryoji what do you think they would like?

[C'mon older self, you've grown up and spent some time as a teenager with them, surely you know about to shop for protags on the holidays. Maybe he should get Ekikichi a bottle of hair gel.

Pharos is also facing the dilemma of not... having any money at all to buy presents with, being a kid who does not have a job! Even if he figures out which things he should get for them. Woe. And if he asks the Arisatos for money, that kinda defeats the purpose of buying them presents to begin with... And no, this post isn't locked from either of them btw. ]

[Rise appears to have set up her camera in the park - currently sunny tank-top weather, which she finds preferable for this kind of thing - to ask everyone a question. Naturally, at this time and this being Rise, she's singing and holding the watch part of her COMP like a microphone.]

( Cut for lengthy song lyrics )

[She blinks, and looks down at the COMP she was holding.]

Man, if I knew I was gonna do that one I'd have gotten a costume...

acapriciousthing

[Something has been bothering Death as December crawls forward.]

Do terrible things tend to happen here right around major holidays?

[She sounds rather calm about the whole thing, but she still would rather like to know.]

misery_hates_company

*Everybody's phones picks up a signal from Misery. Looks like she's advertising again... Hang on, is she singing? Although it seems slightly modified.*

I've again popped around today
Sellin' promises and potions
That could
Take a memory away
Help forget you'd ever met her

Tell me
Can't I please
Kindly take away the misery?
Give you
A baker's dozen please
Wrap you up to go away

*And then, suddenly, the line cuts. A few minutes later, it pops back up, and Misery looks a bit, uh...

Yeah.*

...get this blasted thing to -- ah, it's coming out normal again, good. That's the SECOND time I've had that happen in a communication today! That... SINGING. I NEVER sing. Isn't this blasted insane weather enough torment?

til

Jingle bells, jingle bells~! { Garnet is looking quite rosy. Though she is bundled up against the cold, her arms are almost overwhelmed by a platter of cookies. }

I think I'm getting into the Christmas spirit! I even made a wreath! { She shows it off for a moment. }

I'm not sure about having a whole tree in my apartment. { It would be hard for her to lug one inside. } Is there some kind of law about Christmas trees?

{ She looks worried for a moment before shaking her head and setting the platter down. }

If you would like some cookies - they're free! - come by my apartment. I'm in Libra 5-06.

Oh and merry Christmas! { She waves merrily before ending the feed. }

beautifulmemory

[On the network, Mia starts a post with a simple text entry. She types several things to practice typing - simple words, like area, "The World" (a couple times, as she figures out how to capitalize), and sometimes just randomly presses keys. When she's done, it looks a bit strange;]

area the world. The world. The World. Rnfjhbdspw1246. ! :) ?

[Soon after that is the Audio section of the post.]

So this is what it looks like on this side. Very interesting. I've never had to use keys like that before. I wonder what the controls for a character are actually like.

I've been exploring the city. I see there are a few ways to travel besides walking, and there's no warping. Can someone explain to me what they are? They're rather interesting looking things.

complexdisorder

[Rose has managed to get settled into her apartment in the Pisces district. It is still fairly bare, but she has hung up the few clothes brought with her in the closet and has a few nick-knacks on the shelves near her bed. She is seated at the foot of the bed, legs delicately crossed as she surveys the watch camera--much preferring already to the strange glasses.

She is still not certain that this isn't just a trick of the dream bubbles or perhaps Lord English--or simply SBURB itself--but her intuition tells her it's somewhere completely new. And that is precisely what worries her. Rolling a small white ball in her other hand, she addresses the video with a small smirk, projecting an air of nonchalance and confidence that is not entirely faked.]

Greetings, my name is Rose Lalonde. I am new to the city and this world, and I would appreciate any advice or information you might have--especially as it pertains to returning to our own worlds. I am afraid I do not have much time to trifle about here. There is much work to do in my own universe.

I would also be grateful to hear if anyone has seen my friends. Their names are John, Jade, and Dave. If you have not seen them, my other companions might have been easier to spot. They are an alien race of trolls with gray skin and horns. I would be willing to barter for information about their safety and location

doesasordered

[This new guy decided to lay low for a few days and get his bearings. But now he has to just get on the network and ask. Have a confused-looking gentleman with a somewhat monotone voice and Russian accent pop up on your screen.]

I know that I'm new, but... is the weather always like this here? Or is something strange going on? Since I got here, it's been unbearably hot one day, then unbearably cold the next.

I suppose I have a lot of questions, but that's the one that really jumps out at me right now. I'm just wondering if I should be getting sunscreen or a parka...

abmoemination

[ Hey folks, who remembers this girl? Even if you don't, she's ready to introduce herself in the best of ways possible: by completely ignoring the fact she was missing in the first place and diving right into the holidays. But wait, how does an alien lifeform know anything about human holidays? ]

'tis the season to be ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn!! [ Spoilers: she doesn't. ]

That's the human tradition I researched desperately before my arrival to the planet Earth! You think if they were to come up with something memetic that it would at least make sense. Heed my advice, whimpering mortals. Translate something first before putting it on display for everyone to see. A translation error with so many notes, geez...

[ A gasp. ] Oh, but that's not why I'm contacting everyone. I wanted to show off my own bit of holiday spirit. Are you ready?

[ Without even waiting for an answer, she'll turn the watch around to show off a corner of her apartment. Oh look, it's a Christmas tree. Sorta.

It stands stationary in place although it might appear the tentacles are wriggling every so often. That's just a trick of the mind though, isn't it? ]

Doesn't this earn your favor, imouto? Oh, Mahiro, you should come by too♥ [ She pauses after that for a brief moment. ] Wait, do you even celebrate that holiday in this part of the world?

When the feed snaps on, the camera is apparently pointing directly at what appears to be a giant golden eye. There's a slight noise of irritation and the viewpoint jerks upward a little to reveal the face of something that...looks like a little girl? Maybe? Her bangs part around two small red horns growing out of her forehead, and there seems to be another of those golden eyes growing out of her hair. She addresses the camera in a surprisingly deep voice.

"Foolish mortals! Know that before you is DESCO, the Supreme Final Boss that will throw humanity into DESPAI -*hackwheeze*"

Please excuse her coughing fit, Final Boss Voice hurts her throat. Once she's done coughing, she'll continue in a slightly more normal little girl voice.

"The Supreme Final Boss that will plunge humanity into DESPAIR!"

She quickly consults what looks like a small notebook of some sort before looking up at the camera again.

"okay, now the laugh - Mwahahahaha!"

With that done, she beams at the camera with the expression of a small child that is extremely proud of themselves.

"Also, also, Desco is currently taking applications for the position of Minion to the Final Boss! Please contact Desco at her apartment!"

The feed cuts out then, before Desco bothers to say where her apartment actually is.

Parking is a problem, isn't it?

not_a_leviathan

[Yep, it's another anon text from him. He's just not comfortable putting his name out there yet. Especially when posting something like this that people might get angry at.]

I'm just wondering. Does anyone else have a problem that there's actual demons wandering around? I mean… they're demons. Aren't they all supposed to be evil? Or possess people or something? It seems like no one's really bothered that there are some on the streets and stuff. We didn't really talk about them much at church… but still.

On a semi-related note, I haven't been able to find any churches in this city. I know Japan's not heavily Christian, but there should be at least one around, right?

[It's super weird to someone from midwest America, okay.]

praenuntium

Where can I buy additional ammunition for a three-barrel handgun.

[...]

Or a location I can have them modified.

[Yep. That's all he wrote.]

stupidmeatbags

[Voice]
[The network is about to get a work out today. It starts with a voice message; it starts out garbled and difficult to hear, despite the fact that the voices are speaking rather loudly in their argument, but eventually it comes in with better clarity.]

Exclamation: OBSOLETE?! You oversized bucket of bolts! I could put a blaster bolt through your central processing unit at a hundred and twenty kilometers with one arm disconnected! You--

[And the transmission dissolves into static before timing out.]

[Text]
[Some time later, a text goes out, and... well, it obviously an error of some kind, because it is just the same message over and over again.]

[...this continues for a few hours before it finally stops.]

[Video]
[About an hour later, a view of a workshop of some kind comes in, but it's completely tinted red. There's the sound of tinkering, before the voice from before comes in loud and clear.]

Diagnostic: *SIGH* ...those are my photoreceptors. Query: Honestly, who programmed you?

[And the video immediately cuts out.]

[Video]
[Finally some hours later, everyone gets to see the reason for all these malfunctions on the network, though the video is a little strange. Because of how the droid that appears is built, he does not have his own video function. Therefore, the individual he had been arguing with had to install an extra function on the COMP that would show a simulated version of the droid anytime he wanted to transmit video. The simulation mimics the droid rather well and is almost like the real thing, except it's tinted blue, and no background can be seen.]

Statement: It seems the electronic butchery I was forced to endure has put you meatbags at an inconvenience. If you must blame someone, I suggest directing your attention to the MECHANIC.

[...another sarcastic robot. Aren't you just so lucky, Hinoto-Ri?]

Continuation: But I digress. Greeting: I am HK-47, assassination and protocol droid.

[A pause, and HK-47 seemed to look irritated despite the fact that his face can't express emotion.]

Diagnostic: It seems I still have no discretionary control over my vocabulator. How upsetting.

[Another pause, as HK looked off screen to someone that had spoke.]

Statement: No you can NOT fix it. You've done enough damage!

[HK let out an irritable noise, turning his focus back forward.]

Statement: I require information on the status of my current master, a meatbag that designates herself as "Meetra Surik". I do hope she is still functional; I really would like to kill some deserving meatbags right now.
