[Oh look who it is! It's your resident, deluded God. It seems they have crawled out of whatever hole they had been hidden in for the past month, looking just as thoughtful as ever]

Hello, Hinoto-Ri. A lot has occurred recently, hasn't it? I heard there had been a mystical journey to an alternative world! I wish I could have gone. It would have been amazing to see the denizens of the other world, to see how they lived and acted... differences occur in different worlds, as Hinoto-Ri is-

Oh, my apologies. I have rambled.

In any case, I am certain that many of you have discussed the events that have passed extensively between yourselves. My discussion is of a trivial, yet very important matter! A recent conversation has made me ponder over something that still eludes me, and relates to my previous comments on how my world, and Hinoto-Ri, are very different from one another.

What is fashion?

I did not know what this was when first arriving here, but I have read and researched the subject, and fashion seems to be a very important cultural and social aspect of humanity! Just having the correct clothes, worn in the correct way, with the correct brand allows you to climb the social ladder with ease! I don't really understand it, but the concept of it fascinates me!

I would love to hear your opinions on it! Let us begin a discussion!

are there any good fabric stores around the city? i'm starting to run a little low on supplies, and this place seems like it has a lot of variety to offer. additionally, how does one go about finding a job? i'd hate to be sitting around here on the governments dime without actually contributing anything to the city... plus some extra money wouldn't be too bad.

thanks!

[When the video feed comes on, you might all recognize a very famous looking face appearing on your screens. One Yosuke Hanamura has got his COMP on his wrist aimed at his face, and he looks... terribly deep in thought about something. Concerned, even. And, for a change of pace, he seems to have actually posted to the entire public network.

This isn't just a message for the visitors, this is a message for all of Hinoto-Ri, one he's sure people are going to look at because of his mini-celebrity status. Boy it must be important.]

[After he wakes up from that weird dream, it takes him a few more hours to realize that Eikichi is, somehow, missing. And...that was it! That was the straw that broke the proverbial camel's back! Because by mid-morning, there is an angry-looking text post from Tatsuya on the network, with only these words of warning.]

[Oh look it's the guy who threw that New Years' Party. What insanity are they bringing this time...?]

Things are exciting here. More and more exciting. There is even a tournament! I have never participated in one before - it is a friendly contest thing, yes? I cannot wait to see how everyone performs. The aim is to win, so everyone will be fighting to the best of their ability, to beyond their very limits, otherwise the win is tainted, yes?

Yes.

You will all try very hard.

[Er, did their voice get a bit weird then? A bit deeper? Hm, oh, no, their voice is back to normal]

I hope so in any case. It will make this dull otherwise.

There is a question to be asked.

Hatred and Love is viewed in equal measure. Humans normally say love is worth more. In recent months, I have seen media that espouses that love will always succeed over hatred. Hatred is inferior. It sustains only the self, but it is like poison also. Pure intentions become twisted, revenge distorts the mind and morals, and eventually hatred destroys the individual...

I must admit, this confuses me. I have observed no such things in humanity before. Ah, the corruption, yes, but hatred has sustained and protected humans as much as it has poisoned them. It is usually love that brings about self-destruction, as they hold another's life higher than their own.

So, I have always viewed hatred and love being of equal measure. They are different, yet powerful in their own right. It is like that saying, what, pears and lemons? Apples and peaches? Whatever.

So my question is thus: what do you think is more powerful or more important? Hatred or Love?

[Good afternoon, Hinoto-Ri! It looks like someone's decided to use his public watch system for a little spread of the Christmas Joy, Eikichi Mishina Style. Enjoy this classic, ruined only like he can.]

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas, babe!
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops glisten,
and children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas!
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas!
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white!

Hooooooooo!

[ Okay. It is time for Kanaya to reach out. She cannot sit in her little human respite block forever in between bothering Rose(s?). Still...

Being in a city filled with aliens on an alien planet with alien...everything else gave her little motivation to actually do this. Should she do a video introduction like she has seen others do? No, then she risks a thousand responses that amount to gawking at her.

A vocal introduction? Maybe. No, never mind, no way in Hell is she doing that. She can only imagine the awkward fumbling of words she would inevitably spew out as some poor imitation of talking.

Well. There is only one way to outreach to the masses and introduce herself while keeping some of her dignity. Comments about her typing style would be easier to deal with than comments about her species. ]

[ TEXT ]

Hello Hinoto Ri
Uh

[ Shit. She really should have, like. Written a rough draft or something. Doing this on the fly is not working, but too late now. ]

My Name is kanaya maryam
it is nice to meet you i guess
not the city itself i mean the populace as in whoever is reading this
im sure it will be nice to meet you once i actually meet some of you
seeing as i have hardly met anyone at all
but i would like to assume that the average individual that will respond to this will be nice to meet
or at least tolerable
uh

[ Wow, talking to strangers is so much easier when you are trying to be condescending and snarky in the process instead of not. ]

anyway before i say anything i regret
more so than i have
uh
yeah thats all i have got

oh wait
does anyone remember anything about butterflies
i am kind of fond of them for reasons i wont bother to explain due to well inevitably causing more confusion than clarity
and i swear i saw some but i cant remember why or where for the life of me

ok there we go
that is all i have to say
bye i think

[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...

[pseudo-voice... or is it???]
Attention, peons!

[Viridi's voice echoes once again with its usual Message From the Divine manner. Nothing out of the ordinary here.]

...OK, look, I'm not going to pretend I like you humans any more than I did before, but for what it's worth, I guess you're not all completely horrible. I mean, you're still active participants in a culture that exploits nature, hastens the death of the planet, and imprisons livestock in horrifying conditions, but I'll give you a step up to 'Mostly Horrible' since it seems like some of you actually care about restoring this planet.

[This can be interpreted as a major concession for Viridi.  ...Some form of concession, anyway.]

Anyway. I've talked about that stuff so much even I'm tired of hearing it. Let's move on to the real topic. Take a look at this.

[The COMPS will automatically activate their video feed as what appears to be a prerecorded message begins to play. It displays Mt. Utsugi in Gemini District - and the time stamp in the bottom corner displays 23:59:45. Those who have been in Gemini District during the 13th Hour will know what's coming. At the stroke of midnight, without any fanfare whatsoever, the mountain will quietly and seamlessly raise itself from the ground, contort horribly, and mutate into a horrifying amalgation of stone and clockwork and steel.]

There!  I'm sure some of you have seen that in action. The question is, why isn't anyone trying to investigate what's obviously the main dungeon of this RPG? I mean, just look at it! If we're here for any reason at all, it's to march into that abomination and stamp out the final boss! There's no reason not to storm in there right now and shake the bull by the horns until it moos!

...I mean. Aside from the part where some stupid apes think they know better than a goddess - not you guys this time. I can get around them, but barring some form of mass destruction, I don't think they're letting you through. ...But that doesn't mean you should sit around on your butts twiddling your thumbs waiting for permission!  As entertaining as it is watching you live your pedestrian, quotidian lives, you need to be prepared to do so some serious demon fighting when it comes up. And it's going to come up.

So here's where I come in. Call it... divine intervention.

[The feed flickers from the view of the Mictlan into a view of a petite, nine-year-old girl. This would be the first time since she came here that Viridi has shown her face.]

Alright, the first person who says anything about how I'm a little girl is getting turned into a rat. I'm serious. Rats don't live happy lives; don't test me.

Now listen closely. It's demeaning enough having to say it once, so I'd rather not repeat myself. ...In my world, gods traditionally choose heroes and mediators to act and fight on their behalf, because if it isn't obvious, having gods throwing punches at each other generally doesn't work out for the longevity of the world. As might be obvious, my generals aren't here. That means I need someone to work through.

You can see where this is going. If you want to fight demons, but you're not sure you can handle it on your own, I'm willing to Support you. Criteria - Don't take this for granted. Don't talk about the environment unless you agree with me. For both of our sakes. And don't be really annoying. That's more on a person-to-person basis, but just as a general scale: Hades - really annoying, Dark Pit - pretty darn annoying, and Pit - more tolerable than annoying except when he sings.

The perks for you are the Power of Flight, teleportation, access to my sanctuary, hearing the melodious sound of my voice, and getting Supported by a goddess. And yes, the Power of Flight means you can fly. Five minutes maximum before you fall - don't yell at me if you go over because I didn't make the rules on this. I can only really do one person at a time, so this is a first-come first-serve sort of deal. ...Now see how selfless this all is? I am nice.

[Viridi pauses at the end of her speech.]

What is with this stupid weather, anyway? Is this the century where global warming begins?

((Basically, this translates to periodic fighting logs! I've discovered that I'm rather fond of running those so I'd like to do it more often. I'll just be throwing up a demon-fighting log every now and then with Viridi acting as Support for you.

Also Viridi is serious about the rat thing. Don't respond ICly with that line if you don't want her casting Ani on you. Or do so if you want that!))

[The feed flickers on to reveal a masked individual, their gender completely ambiguous]

Hello, Residents of Hinoto-Ri. I have been told that my earlier invitation to my cult was done rather poorly. I am not very experienced in recruiting in such ways, so please, forgive me for my clumsy blunders. I must have come across as suspicious, as many of you have said, and that was not my intent.

My intent is entirely pure.

But I am to explain it, yes? That was the criticism...

( Dare you try to understand this man's insanity? )

hello residents of hinotori. i am here today to extend a helpful hand to you all. what a dead world you reside in. a miracle you survive for so long. demons prowl and yet humans still manage to survive in the face of adversary. how does such a weak creature gain such strength. they are wild and conflicting in their ways. their emotions are inscrutable. perhaps it is those things that are their strengths. they are like cockroaches. i mean that nicely. the humans of my world lived in a world that was dead. this one still has some life. some. in any case i should get to the point. please excuse my poor literacy. i do not know how to write human very well. i am trying however. the spellchecker function on this is very useful. the point. cries of assistance was given. i enjoy helping humans. i wish to be benevolent to you. however power lies in faith and faith can only give power. my followers are no more so their prayers cannot reach me regardless. therefore i extend a hand. i will be blunt. residents of hinotori join my cult. :) i added an emote of a smile because smiling is said to make people more relaxed when asking them of things. so please. consider my proposal. :) :) :) :)

[More information? One new arrival, at least, has all the information she needs. The influx of energy from this one is massive, completely unsubtle, almost as if purposefully designed to attract the attention of anyone with any sense whatsoever of the divine. It doesn’t fade away nor does it seem to be easily localized. This surely wasn’t ‘Magatama Energy’…

Whatever ambiguity this might present is cleared up almost immediately. Despite that no one may be in the vicinity, the voice of a young girl sounds clearly throughout the city of Hinoto-Ri to nearly every inhabitant, as intelligibly as if the speaker were standing right next to those she addressed. …Perhaps too intelligibly. The first sound they hear is an vehement, despairing cry.]

NO!

This can’t be…! The forests… The oceans… The deserts and mountains, the tundra and the plains! W-Where are they?! Who did this?! What did you do to them?!

[For a few moments, the speaker seems too overwhelmed with ire to speak. The sound of her breathing eventually slows...]

Humans. Look at this world. Look at it!

I knew this would happen. In every world across every dimension, it doesn’t matter! You -- you’re all the same! See for yourself! This is what will happen if you tear through all of nature without respect for anything but your own wealth and gain! Are you happy?! My children… 100 million species. One hundred million. There's almost nothing left...

I am Viridi, Goddess of Nature, ruler of the Earth and all living things! And I will not allow this land to be desecrated any further.

They say there are monsters ravaging what remains. If you stand against them, then... heed the command of a goddess and CRUSH them!
