[The video feed turns on to reveal a beautiful young woman who actually...doesn't seem all that confused or angered at her current situation. These new surroundings were interesting, to say the least. Something new, something to learn about. Even figuring out this odd device was an amusing experience. Yes, she'd been taken out of her own world, or so it seemed, but that didn't bother her all that much. If she'd been taken out, there was obviously a way to be put back in.

But she has no reason to rush. She smiles as she begins to speak.]

Well now, this is certainly an intriguing turn of events. While I'm not exactly sure how or why I am here, I can't say I'm disappointed.

[Honestly. If anything, this was an opportunity, and she wouldn't let it go to waste.]

Might anyone be able to tell me more about this city? I'm very interested in learning more about it. The buildings, the inhabitants, the history, all of it. If anyone is capable of providing me with such information, please contact me.

I'll be waiting.

[She offers a quaint wave of farewell as she ends the feed.]

[The camera is slightly obscured - it's clearly Minako, but the watch's camera isn't being held at the proper angle to show her entire face. She's smiling, though.]

Hello, Hinoto-ri! I don't want to take up too much of your time, because I know a lot of people are busy right now, but I have a story to tell, if you're willing to listen!

Once upon a time, a girl grew up all alone. One by one, the people she cared about disappeared from her life. The girl kept smiling and trying to make friends, but deep down, she knew the truth. Eventually, those friends would leave her too. Her destiny was to be left behind.

Then one day, the girl was given a choice. Disappear quietly along with the world and the people you care about, or give up everything to save them - including her soul. Her sacrifice meant the world would live, but she would still be alone. Forever.

[She pauses, the cheerful smile still on her lips.]

Which choice do you think the girl made?

[and then she leans forward, finally opening her eyes to reveal bright, yellow irises.]

Which choice should I have made?

[A teenage girl of clearly Japanese descent, dressed in an odd red and white outfit with detached sleeves, glares grumpily at the screen.]

Is this thing actually working? Can I actually talk to other people with this weird device? Jeez, this is the sort of thing a Kappa would go crazy over probably.

[She sighs.]

If anyone can actually hear me with this thing, would someone like to explain what the hell is going on? More importantly, could someone give me an idea about where to start looking for the person responsible for bringing me here so I can punish them properly? The sooner I get home, the sooner I can get back to tending to my shrine.

[The video flips on and a young boy with golden blonde hair and somber blue eyes blinks slowly into the camera for a few moments. His speech is hesitant and his manner apologetic.]

Hi.

I, um... I think this is working now. Can anyone hear me? ...I'm sorry if I'm not doing this right; I've never used anything like this before. But they said this was how I could communicate with everyone, so... hello.

[He shifts uneasily as he speaks, though he manages a small smile as he introduces himself; his gaze falls now on a point just slightly right of the camera. Technology was not something he was terribly familiar with using - or ever really wanted to be.]

My name is Lucas. And it's very nice to meet all of you. I guess I'm using this now, because I... I'm happy to be here and help, I am, but I don't think I really understand why I'm here. I mean, I do understand about the monsters and the 'demons' and all of that kind of thing, and... of course, I want to help, but what I mean is... I'm not sure I understand why me and why... now. I-I know it's a bit selfish, but I...

I'm very tired.

Do you think I can go home for a little bit before I start here? I promise I'll come back and help; it's just -- you see, the thing is, I sort of needed to see if there was a home to go back to, still, and then this happened, and I really should... check.

[He swallows, and his eyes flicker to his feet as his speech becomes ever more incoherent.]

Um. Sorry, that didn't come out right at all. It's not like that -- I mean, it is, a little bit, but not very; it all should be fine, I just -- Oh!

...I'm sorry. This wasn't how this was supposed to go.

[He blinks hard and brushes briefly at his eyes before reaching to fiddle with the COMP, trying to turn it off. It will take him some time to be successful.]

I guess I'm new here. This place is really weird. It doesn't make sense.

It's Ushiro, by the way, if any of the others are here.

Hospital food sucks. They told me I needed to get my strength up by eating, but how are you supposed to eat when everything tastes like cardboard?

Also 'combat fatigue' is a stupid sounding diagnosis. It just sounds like you took a nap during a battle.

When the feed snaps on, there's nobody in the frame - just a massive gun. The feed stays trained on it for at least half a minute before it's moved around to stare Desco in the face.

"Listen up, all you humans! Desco and Miss Nano beat up a big red guy the other night, and Desco stole his gun!"

At this, Desco glances away from the video feed towards the direction of the gun and licks her lips.

"Desco doesn't know what it's made of, but it's the most delicious metal she's ever tasted. So the Final Boss is officially putting out a bounty on ALL of the red guys! If you bring Desco their guns, she will personally see to it that someone you don't like will cease to exist!"

A slight pause as she considers her offer.

"Desco reserves the right to refuse if her target has already brought her a gun. And also if Desco likes the target Desco will probably just kill you instead."

She gives the camera a bright smile, showing off her shark-like teeth.

"Now, if you've got all that, heed the words of the Final Boss and go beat up those red guys!"

Addendum:

The feed suddenly snaps back, revealing Desco once again.

"All Desco wants is the guns. If you can get one without beating up the red guys, feel free to do that instead. Bye bye!"

Current Mood: excited

As the feed snaps on, it shows Kotoha in profile, leaning back in a chair and looking thoughtful. The chair itself is tilting back on two legs as Kotoha starts speaking without looking at the camera.

"So I found the Velvet Room earlier today, and Caroline asked me to bring her a movie. Apparently they don't...have movies in there."

At this, Kotoha sits up a little straighter, the front legs of the chair falling to the ground with a thunk. She proceeds to flip the chair around so the back of it is facing the camera, and rotates to look directly into it, straddling the chair with her arms resting on the back.

"So, listen. My pride as an actress won't let me just...go out and buy her a DVD."

A pause for a slightly wry smirk.

"Well...maybe if it was one of my DVDs, but fat chance of finding one of those here. Anyway."

A slight cough to clear her throat before she continues.

"What I'd like to do is actually make a movie for her - which brings me, at last, to the actual point. I can handle a lot of the stuntwork and special effects and stuff, but it won't change the fact that it's only...well, me. So what I need are, you know...actors."

Behind her, a large black bipedal fox creature sneaks into the frame, holding up a sign with the lettering OUT OF WORK WILL ACT 4 FOOD on it, snickering under its breath. Not taking her eyes off the feed, Kotoha addresses it, sounding weary.

"Put the sign down, Zoroark, you aren't as funny as you think you are. Anyway, if you're interested in being in a movie, feel free to contact me."

[The video comes on showing a metal head with glowing blue eyes as he adjusts the camera. He mutters to himself.]

This will have to do...

[The camera settles as the glowing blue eyes stare into it.]

This is Atomic Robo, and hopefully I am not just talking to myself.

I'm attempting to reach any employees of Tesladyne. If any of you arrived here and can see this, contact me as soon as possible. Also, if anyone spots Jenkins...

...Don't make any sudden movements and just tell him where he can find me.

Either use this network or meet me at LIBRA 08-07.

[He leaves the com open as he waits to see.]

[ It's been... well, a day, more or less.

Robin's had enough time to get more-or-less settled in, get some basic information, and figure out how this strange communication device worked. Thankfully, she was a quick study - no embarrassing slip-ups in handling technology for her!

And thus, with all of that out of the way, it was time for another important task. The video feed turns on to show the face of a young woman, a fairly serious look on her face. A dark-haired woman can be seen in the corner of a screen, and manly "hiyah"s and such can be heard in the background. ]

This is supposed to connect to everybody who's arrived to this city from elsewhere.... right? My thoughts go out to every messenger that's been put out of business by this.

My name is Robin, and I'm looking for anybody connected to the Ylissean army. If you are, when see this message, please contact me back for our location. You might not recognize me as the Robin you know, but-

[ The manly voice in the background cuts in- ] BINDING BLADE!!! [ Owain can now be seen in the background, his sword... neatly cutting through the wall.

Robin turns her attention towards him. ] Owain!! As small as this room is, you're going to practice something like that!?

[ Tharja can be seen more clearly as Robin gets up to scold Owain, but only for a moment as Robin turns the feed off. ]

"Is anyone good at identifying demons? One has gotten onto the Nadesico. A few times, apparently its good at evading force fields and has been in my things. I'd like to at least identify it and remove it. If more is needed it is. Please let me know. Thank you."

So.

[The video shows Meetra, who is sitting down in what looks like a training gym, complete with old-fashioned-looking straw dummies and wooden swords hanging on the wall.]

A little while ago, I offered an acquaintance of mine my services as a teacher at this place in Aquarius. He called it a Knight Academy, and that had a familiar sort of ring to it - besides, I like teaching almost as much as I like doing fancy sword tricks.

Only problem is, around when I moved in, he and everyone else managing this place disappeared, presumably to go home. I think they were all from the same world, so I guess they left as a group. I can't really say for sure, as I can't ask any of them.

At any rate, I no longer have an apartment, so I plan on still living here, but to pay the utility bills for all this space I'm going to need students to teach. If anyone wants to learn how to use a sword or fight hand-to-hand, how to have a philosophical debate with yourself and win, or even meditation techniques that should help refine your control of your Persona, you can come down to the Knight Academy. I can even teach you about the Force, if anyone's interested, though I make no promises about anyone becoming a Jedi.

On a related note, since I don't know everything, there are at least eight bedrooms in this place I don't need, and I have extremely flexible standards when it comes to sharing living space, if any other instructor-types want to help out with the teaching and the rent. You can reply to this post or use my network mailbox if you're interested.

Now that I've got that little hyperlink comment to work I guess I can post thi--

[It's the first night of the Firefly Festival, and Fumi's out to observe the light show. To anyone who's just met her for the first time since her arrival in Hinoto-Ri, it's probably a bit of an odd sight. She's sitting on a small hill overlooking the festivities below and just watching the fireflies dancing through the air and lighting up the night sky with their brilliance, laptop nowhere to be found for a change.]

Ah... it's so amazing...

[The smile on her face and the sparkle in her eye are like nothing she's displayed since coming here. She really seems to be genuinely enjoying herself, just sitting idly by while she takes a moment to enjoy the scene.]

[Video; 13th Hour; Leo District; locked to Yamato and Miyako Hotsuin]

[As the feed flickers on, Fumi's face is illuminated by the light from her COMP. The room she's standing in is dark, so it's rather hard to see what's behind her.]

Chief. Miyako. You're both going to want to see this. Meet me in the Leo District.

"Hello people who got pulled here. I am Rätsel, Rätsel Feinschmecker. Currently it seems that things are quiet here and as such to pass the time I am offering cooking lessons if anyone is interested. That or if you need a chef. It was one of the things I did back home and perhaps a bit of normality will help figure this place out. If anyone is interested please let me know."

[After spending some time looking around town, talking with locals, and efficiently gathering information, Fumi's ready to introduce herself to the network. Except it's not so much an introduction as a combination lecture / interrogation. She doesn't have time for idle pleasantries - there is a new research topic afoot. Her face is expressionless as she launches right into her diatribe.]

Persona.

A concept first introduced by Swiss psychologist Carl Jung in the early twentieth century, described as 'a kind of mask, designed on the one hand to make a definite impression upon others, and on the other to conceal the true nature of the individual.'

[Dry and pedantic, just like she likes it. Although at this point, her features take on a hint of frustration.]

I have vague memories of having heard this word shortly before waking up in this city, and given the rather abrupt nature of my arrival, I feel safe in assuming the word holds a more significant meaning in this place than would normally be suggested by traditional psychological terminology. I've also gathered that I'm far from the only person to have arrived in this way, or to have experienced that vague dream upon arrival.

So, Hinoto-Ri, what can you tell me about the Persona phenomenon, and what is the most efficient way to awaken one? Please make your responses as brief and concise as possible. I may have found my next research topic.

[The woman smiles before ending the feed and waiting for responses.]

As you may have heard from my esteemed colleges or seen from the video anomaly, the Mictlan appears to have caused quite a commotion. I have been approved for an expedition later tonight. However, this is to be done without the government's aid. While they appreciated your efforts during the tournament, the media's eyes are currently turned on the Visitors as a whole and if the Anoli found out what was going on, they could use this to their advantage.

Time is of the essence, as there are more and more questions as to where our peers have gone off to. Obviously that question needs an answer.

Do not bother coming if you can't stand up and fight on your own.

[OOC - You can only send one(1) of your characters. They need to be in okay condition on the 1st of February to go, and this has nothing to do with the event happening next week. This log will be rapid-paced for the most part.]
