*Odd, you get the notion that Misery didn't exactly sleep well last night. Her eyes seem a little redder than normal, and her hair's tossled.*

Well I'm glad to see YOU all are relaxing so well after that battle. Has it ever occurred to anybody else that if THIS is what happens when the astrological signs turn to Scorpio, then what will happen when we shift over to Sagittarius? Or Taurus? Or, heaven forfend, ARIES? I rather think this is cause for concern, don't you?

Well I for one am not waiting to find out. There's bound to be a way to block these effects, and I for one intend to find it. If anybody finds anything out, tell me. I might even consider giving you a discount on my services.

For a while, anyway.

*Strange, why is this getting her goat so bad?*

Well, now. I should apologize for my behavior during that epidemic.

[Nessiah doesn't look too apologetic.]

I would prove that my eyes are a normal color, but that would be impossible, I'm afraid. So you'll simply have to take my word that I am in my right state of mind.

As for the rest of you... I hope you're not terribly injured or dead? If you are dead, please mention that to me here, I may have uses for you.

[If you want to assume that your character fought this scorpion-resurrecting asshole - because I am a failure at tagging logs - feel free!]

How do you get people to like you?

Specifically, girls. But anyone, really. Though it'd be nice to know how to get girls to like me...

[video] Scorpio Event Aftermath

Shura smiles a bit at the camera, dressed in a green hospital gown, an IV hooked to the crook of her elbow.

"Hey guys and gals. If you lost track of me after the the thing with the scorpions, don't worry, I'm just in the hospital. Nothing bad, I promise."

[She's been here for nearly ten days now. It's very strange, and different. She's not used to feeling this... isolated. Back home, she'd always travelled with Roxas and Axel, and even at Disney Castle it always seemed more... together. If she'd felt lonely, or had a nightmare or something, she could go find one of her friends. Not quite so simple here - the only person she considered a friend she had from home didn't... didn't remember. Not really.

Sure, it was for a good cause, being here. But that didn't mean it was easy.]

It's really strange... there's a lot we have here that we don't have at home, but... there opposite is true too. And...

[Ugh no, this isn't helping. She's probably not even making sense.]

Sorry. I guess I don't know what I'm trying to say.

So... does... anybody have friends they miss who are back home?

[Video] In Which Brainstorm Is An Asshole About the Situation

[The video shows Brainstorm working on things - with a rather harried pace, and looking as annoyed as someone with no actual mouth can manage. When he starts speaking, his voice is gushing annoyance and bitter condescension all over the place like a busted fire hydrant.]

Really, would it be too much to ask all you raving lunatics to calm the hell down and stop acting like morons?

Or failing that, those of you who are still sane, do the rest of us a favor and knock some of these fools out. Really, it'd be for their own good.

[He was gonna do voice, but the video probably flipped on on accident. And Daichi's looking much

much

more distressed than usual given the way he's grimacing and his hands are clamped over his ears.

And that's saying something.]

WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?!

[Wherever the hell he was, it wasn't his apartment and his demons were currently fighting to over his sorry ass.]

Aaaugh... sh-shut up--! Shut up!! Damnit-- whatever that Orpheus guy was talking about I th-think he was right--! This whole city's doomed!!

[Video/Various Filters]

[The video feed shows a very stressed, very scuffed-up looking Akihiko, with a cut over his lower lip that appears to be pretty fresh, as it's still bleeding. He wipes the blood away with the back of his hand before speaking. As strange as things have been the past few days, things have now come to a head, and he's not the type to sit back and just watch things happen.]

Anyone who goes outside, be careful, and be prepared to defend yourself. It probably doesn't need to be said, there's no way people haven't noticed, but just in case. Try not to go alone, if you can. For anyone who hasn't seen what it's like out there -- it's total chaos.

[Is he going to take his own advice? Of course not. That would make sense.

He goes on, with the next part filtered to Miki:]

Miki! Where are you right now?

[He knows little sis can take care of herself, but that doesn't mean he's about to leave her to her own devices. The message may be short, but it's safe to assume that once she answerse him, that's where he'll be, too. The next is filtered to Mitsuru. She's been acting strange, from the few glimpses he's managed to catch of her, and it's definitely got him concerned.]

Hey. I haven't seen you in a couple of days. Are you somewhere safe? Let me know. I don't like the idea of you out there alone.

[The last message is filtered to Shinji. Aki's voice has become terse, but he's no less concerned than he was for the previous two.]

Things are getting crazy out there. Are you okay?

[Pardon the so-soon post, Hinoto-Ri, but surely an emergency calls for it. And it's not about plushes this time.]

[Filtered from Elizabeth]

[Theo can't really talk now, as he's going to try and reason with his deranged sister, but he's going to send a small warning out regardless of the circumstance.]

Please do not enter the premise of Pisces's 6th floor, it is much more dangerous than being outside. If you are living on the floor itself, or the one above or below it, please evacuate immediately. Please stay within a group.

[Well, that's that. Time for his second thing.]

[Private To Minato and Minako Arisato]

I apologize for the short notice, but please refrain from seeking to subdue Elizabeth. I do not doubt either of your powers, having seen both for myself, but I must insist you stay out of it unless it becomes certain that she cannot be stopped by my sister and I, should Margaret feel well enough to attempt to restrain her.

[... though to be honest he'd rather them not get into the fight anyway. they probably won't listen to him and he knows it but it's worth a shot.

Aaand finally, third. Gosh he hates October this is a terrible month.]

[Private to Margaret]

Sister? Are you feeling more yourself?

[he probably won't be replying unless it's urgent too, since he has quite the situation.]

OH SH*T SCORPIONS!

[Duo's visible in the garage he works at, looking a bit frayed at the edges. It's dark and he's talking quietly. There is the sound of something scratching on metal in the background, but it's not immediately clear what's causing it.]

Okay, I was basically ignoring all that talk over the last few days about the world ending or whatever it was, but I'm starting to think they might have been on to something. The army of freaking giant scorpions clawing at the doors kind of gives their theory some credit.

Anyways, we're holed up in here, but the door handle keeps jiggling and I'm going to have nightmares for weeks about scorpions that can open doors. So if anyone could send help and get us out of here that would be a very good thing.

Bring a flame thrower.

a mythology lesson none of you asked for

[It's deadly silent, despite the fact Elizabeth is obviously in her room -- if the first-person perspective of the camera is anything to go by. It's lit by pale blue spotlights, giving it an oddly serene look --

but Elizabeth's voice, rising in its usual lilt, turns serene into eerie. It's only shortly after Ideo's post, and she's rather amused by the content of it. But no matter; she's here to talk.]

In Greek mythology, Thanatos was the son of Nyx and Erebus -- the goddess of the night, and the personification of darkness. He had a twin brother named Hypnos, who was the god of peaceful sleep, as well as many siblings whose names have been lost to the common tongue as they have faded into obscurity. While Thanatos is the god of death, he is a god of a merciless, peaceful death -- but many other deaths, such as those caused by the violent hands of man, have been counted in his arsenal.

Thanatos is an indiscriminate god. He hates all and is hated by all, for he is the torrent that extinguishes life.

[A small sigh.]

It is truly a pity, that such a magnificent figure would suffer such a tragedy. And he has even been outwitted in a few myths. However, that is only how mankind thinks of him. Every god must have a folly, in order for man to relate to him, despite the fact they are thought of as deities -- those beyond the reach of humanity.

[...But none of this is her point, and she - and her camera - look at her lap, where the Compendium lays. Her hands are folded neatly against it, and she laughs -- a little too cheerfully.]

Your kind has always fascinated me. [She drums her fingers on the leather book, almost thoughtfully.] Perhaps I would learn more about you if I were to let Thanatos tear you apart?

[She turns her gaze to a mirror she's placed beside her chair, and observant people might notice red eyes before she licks her fingers and turns off the feed, like wetting a candlewick.]

[EMERGENCY VIDEO: ATTN ALL PERSONA USERS...]

We've cracked it-

[Ideo's so rushed-sounding that he's scarcely aware he turned on the video. He's actually not in the lab for once, either. He looks like he's just somewhere on the streets, moving at a pretty fast speed from how hard his heels are hitting the pavement. Is he bleeding, or did he just smudge some on his face from somewhere...?]

-it's by birthday, the affected are all Scorpios. If you see anyone with yellow or red eyes who does not normally have those colors, steer clear or attempt to subdue them. Do not use lethal measures-

[Ideo rubs at his face again.]

-there has to be a way to reverse this. I repeat, do not use lethal means unless there is literally, utterly no other way to remain safe. Please, also try to keep those who are currently paranoid safe as well, we have a hunch that is also based on-

[A stumble, which he automatically rights. He's gonna run out of breath at this point.]

-based on astrology. If you have anyone who needs help that you can't get to- say so here, and someone will try to get to them. The non-persona user population is also affected, so please keep that in mind.

[Ideo suddenly shifts the view off himself, towards the skittering scorpions currently tailing him at an eerily quick clip. He doesn't linger too long on them, and turns the view back with a wince. Basically a confirmation for 'injured'.]

There are also monsters about- those things are not demons, but please avoid them at all possible. If any of the other Seven could contact me asap that would also be very appreciated. Th-thank you-

[And the feed ends that abruptly.]

2nd Screw [Action]

[Nano picked a bad time to show up in Hinoto-Ri. She's a Leo, and the fear inflicted upon her by the event has reached the point of complete unhinged terror. At the beginning of the day, she thought to take a walk to clear her head, but as things got worse and worse, she's found herself utterly unable to deal with the world around her. And to make matters worse, those horrible scorpion creatures are crawling all over the city - and now, perhaps smelling her fear, they're also crawling all over Nano. She can be found running all over the city at various points throughout the day, trying desperately to shake them off and get to safety.]

Noooooooooo! Stop it! Get off, get off!

[She's really too afraid to do much of anything about it. In fact, she's even too afraid to notice that in her panic, she's managed to manifest her Persona, Pinocchio, for the first time, floating protectively above her as the scorpions continue to sting at her. Ironically, the robotic nature that Nano normally tries so hard to hide is currently her only saving grace, as her Persona reflects physical damage and the scorpions' venom can't affect someone without a genuine circulatory or nervous system. The scorpions will eventually mindlessly sting themselves to death, but there are quite a few of them and Nano's not much for fighting, so it seems she's going to need some help here.]

[Accidental Voice/Video ->Text; Backdated to Morning]

[The feed begins with noise.

It's sharp, sudden. No video, just the sound of something being roughly rummaged through, with no apparent concern about being quiet or subtle about the affair, before it's shoved away across some surface—falling. Hitting the floor. A box, maybe, with something in it.

Then, a voice: tense, frustrated, uneven, breathing rapid, shallow, and unsteady, words strained and laced with panic.]

Dammit.

Where did—

[More noise.

Then, abruptly, the video feed flickers to life. There's a glimpse of a hand touching the screen, shaking, before the device is quickly shoved away. It slides along the surface of an apparent desk, catching a brief glimpse of a ceiling as it tumbles onto the floor, landing not far away from a cardboard box and a beat-up looking radio. The room it lies in is one dimly lit—the only light provided is due to the streaks of sunlight peeking in from the gaps in the curtain and blind-covered window. Makes it hard to discern much in the way of detail, but it's enough to make out a bed shoved at an odd, jutting angle—nearly shoved up against the closet—with tangled covers. A sign of some sort in front of the long curtain that's covering (as anyone familiar with the layout of the apartments might deduce) the entrance to the balcony, and then, finally, an obscured half-view of the desk shoved against a door. There's more movement off camera, sounds of a drawer being pulled open and gone through, until, finally, there's a quieter sound—perhaps of a lid popping open and its contents retrieved— followed by a period of silence.

Not long afterward, Shinjiro finally steps into view, crossing the room and sliding slowly down onto his bed.]

Shit. Can't even—

[He looks down then, eyes settling on the COMP on the floor. He stares at it for a few moments, grimacing, before standing up again, movement unsteady, reaching down to swipe it up off the floor. If he notices the feed is still recording, he doesn't show it, and the feed, after a moment, cuts off.

Then, a few minutes later, a message:]

ITP: Fight or flight

[She's been nervous lately, an ice-cold feeling in the pit of her stomach that had started shortly before her uncle's arrival. It reminds her, vaguely, of when the Blood Fort had gone up around the school and she, Rin, and their Servants had been frantic to bring it down to save the students. Arturia had never before felt such fear, had never felt such urgency as far as she could remember, and it's the same as now. It's as if she can tell something dangerous is coming, something that could lay waste to everyone here and it will be a battle that not even the mightiest among them could hope to come out of alive.

Her only instinct is to fight, but she has nothing to fight. Not yet. There's only so many demons she can fight at night and with her uncle here she has to be more careful to keep him from worrying. Nonetheless, she needs to do something to combat this strange feeling and there's only one thing she can think of:]

[Video]

I find I have neglected my training since arriving here. Tell me, would anyone like to spar with me in the Capricorn Ward? I would prefer a fellow swordsman, but any others willing would do.

[Video, Oh God]

DOOOOOOOOOM!

DOOM COMES FOR US ALL! LET LOOSE THE DOGS OF WAR, THE SKIES SHALL RAIN WITH MOBOCRACY AND THE DARKEST FIERY PITS SHALL CRACK OPEN, OUR SOULS FORFEIT!

[He stops to take a large breath.]

( Lots more of bold text after this, and a message from the seven. )

[ Snake is familiar enough with the COMP to respond to audio and video posts, but text posts have eluded him. Until now. ]

I'm giving the voice to text function a try. How does it look, is it accurate enough? Hello world! Smiley face

[ It's great being a Virgo. None of this event nonsense really matters. You can spend all day making posts like this one.

Of course he's going to use voice > text for his responses. Thank goodness technology is flawless and there'll be no typos or tricky homophones to deal with. ]
