[On the one hand, it's a risk to reveal Kyrios.]

[On the other, he's glad to get it back after so long without it.]

Is there anyone here with skills in robotics and mobile suit repair? Mine has sustained heavy damage.

[The video flicks on, showing a mobile suit with serious damage. Once it stood 19 meters tall - now it's sitting and would look upset if it could.]

[The video flicks off.]

I know it's a tall order, but I would be willing to work with whomever gave me help. Even if it's just getting it so that it looks correct but doesn't entirely work, I'd be satisfied.

I will pay you back in any way I can.

[Today, as a lot of the Visitors may have noticed with only a passing glance, is September 19. For Faris, this date holds no real significance.

But there was no escaping the fact that someone, somewhere, knew about International Talk Like A Pirate Day.

And a lot of the people that did had found her.]

Anyone mind tellin' me why everyone's tryin' to do really bad impressions of me today?

[The video feed turns on with Noda looking straight at the screen with a biggest grin on his face.]

To those in need of any assistance, I will be more than happy to help out! Leave a message with the details and I will find you!!

[He talks a little too loud... But if you know him, it's a little weird for him to offer a hand. Or maybe you are perhaps reminded of a certain situation. Nevertheless, he's offering to help around! He's a pretty good fighter at least, so maybe his strength can be of some use?]

[Action]
[Shortly after the message is put on the network, Noda is seen around town, breaking all of the fire hydrants with his halberd. Why was he....?]

Good morning, Hinoto-Ri.

[A woman wearing a brown robe and a vague smile seems to be sitting on the roof of a building and enjoying the morning sunlight while looking into her COMP watch.]

I seem to have been gone for a couple of months, or at least long enough that they had to give me a new ID card. It's kind of disconcerting, since I'm pretty sure I was only "back" in my galaxy for a few hours, but at least they were quiet hours for once.

Anyway, if the last major thing I remember is the bull monsters, what have I missed?

Oh, and for any new Visitors, my name is Meetra Surik. I come from another world, like you, and I've been trying unsuccessfully to figure out the meaning behind the mystical events here for a while. I also enjoy card games, sunrises, and meandering philosophical dialogs.

When the feed snaps on, it reveals Kotoha, sitting calmly in a chair. She fiddles with the bow at the back of her neck for a few seconds before launching into a spiel.

"Hi, my name's Kotoha, and I have a question."

There's slight hint of urgency in her voice, and her blue eyes are intense as she leans forward slightly to ask her question.

"Why is everyone so pretty?"

...wait what.

"Is it, like, a requirement? 'You must be this sexy to save the world'? I mean, I know I'm pretty, but I've met people here that rank right up there with Elesa, and she's a supermodel."

She leans back and drums her heels against the floor.

"It's not fair! How am I supposed to get anything done when I'm constantly distracted like this?!"

She bounces to her feet at that and starts pacing, letting out a little growl of frustration.

"Urrrrr! Stupid teenage hormones!"

Current Mood: frustrated

Has anyone seen a silver wristwatch...er, chronometer around?

I think it's important, and I can't figure out what I did with it. It might or might not be running, I don't quite remember...

[Someone felt that his permanent blue hair dye stood out a little too much for his now confused brain. He remembers wanting to start a band...but that wouldn't make sense. He hates the public eye. Better to move mostly unnoticed in the crowds. But don't they excite him? He'd have every reason to want to go out...No wait. They make him uneasy....right?

There's a quiet look of surprise when he realizes he has turned the video on against his better judgement. Wearing the most boring shirt imaginable, he tries to speak out like he usually does, but fails, closing his mouth after leaving it open for a few seconds. He knows he should be talking about how awesome he is but...while he REMEMBERS having no problems with this...he also remembers not being a very social kind of guy? Seriously, what's the point bragging about yourself?

In fact, why did he even bother opening this?]

Sorry.

[At least his voice is the same, if not utterly devoid of the usual Michel panache...Just apologize and close the feed.

Perfect.

Man, he's got a monster headache.]

[Today, the network is greeted by yet another anonymous text message. Or rather, anonymous text messages, plural. At first, the memory merging wasn't too bad, but when the 21st happened, it was as if a switch had been flipped for the floodgates to be opened, except instead of water, it was memories. Emotionally engaging and possibly traumatic memories, at that. By then, it was much more painful for the both of them, and very clear that something was wrong.]

Greetings, Hinoto-Ri. Though I understand this may be a confusing time, we have questions we wish to ask of you humans. Or rather, it is because it is confusing that we wish to ask you all.

[There's a pause, and the typing style completely changes to one more rough and commanding. It's as if the COMP...was handed off to someone?]

Refrain from using "human", fool, you're being too obvious.

[And back again. ...Yes. Surely nobody can tell that it's those two. Surely.]

My apologies. But, does it truly matter?

[And again.]

That's irrelevant.

Hinoto-Ri, to be frank: my associate and I have observed an unusual peculiarity relating to memories within this city, and are asking if any others have noticed this as well. How many of you suffer from memories that do not belong to you? Are you aware of the cause?

[ 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. ]

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--

[VINDICATION YES WEEKS OF WASTING HOURS READING ABOUT THE MOST POINTLESS CRAP HE'S EVER HAD TO STUDY COME TO FRUITION PRAISE THE GODS HE HAD BETTER GET SOME KIND OF MEDAL WHEN THIS WAS DONE

No wait this was a bad thing ahem yes very bad the proper thing to do in this case was to maintain a certain air of decorum and er grave sincerity yes grave. ...Atsuro can't help grinning slightly anyway as the COMP feed flickers on.]

Look sharp, guys. Those of you who were around back in October know what this means. For everyone else... The news broadcast probably could have stood to be a little more informative.

Let's do a quick recap. Back in October, about a week before the 23rd, we started noticing that a few of us were acting a little strange. This escalated over the next few days until some of us were brainwashed into trying to attack people and some of us were brainwashed into being terrified of everything that moved. And, uh... sometime during all this, all of these giant scorpions started falling from the sky or something; I don't know. It was probably a totally related natural progression. Anyway, on the 23rd itself, a really huge scorpion monster appeared, and a few of us had to beat it off. We compared notes afterwards and realized that the behavioral changes all had to do with what star sign you had. If you have no idea what that is, just hold on a sec. The important thing is that the ones who were attacking had the sign of Scorpio and the ones who were frightened were Leos, Taurii, and Aquarius...es...ii.

I know a lot of you aren't from Earth, or if you are from Earth, you're not from the right time period to even have Scorpius or Taurus as constellations anymore. I can do a quick explanation of astrology if you want, but it's really a lot of trouble for something that's pretty much meaningless for you - It has to do with what day of the year you were born in, and which imaginary pictures formed by stars in the sky were closest to the sun then. There are 12 of them, and each one is supposed to mean different things about your personality and the people you'll fall in love with or something. ...Try not to think about it too much. You can just take a look at the little ID cards you get when you come to the city and your completely arbitrary sign should be listed there.

Anyway, we're already off schedule. The 21st - that's today - is the first day we're supposed to be under the sign of Taurus. If a monster appears, it's probably not going to happen for a few days so it looks like the government is trying to quarantine everyone before it does.

The one thing is... I don't want to undermine our great government or anything, but I don't think their predictions are right. Scorpios were the main targets last time because the sun was swinging into that area of the night sky; Leos, Aquariuses, and Taurii were affected because of something to do with the relationship between the signs. I never could find any consistent information or an exact chart or anything, but I don't think it's just going to be the same people as six months ago. We'll be able to gather more data after this round, but I think everyone should be on guard for emotional changes, regardless of what your sign is.

...Also be on guard for giant bulls, because that's really not going to be fun at all.

Hello. My name is DLN-001 Quake Woman, but my creator calls me Tempo. If that seems strange to any of you, it is due to the fact that I am actually a robot created by a scientist named Noelle LaLinde.

My purpose is geological surveillance, but I can't imagine it would be of much use here. I suppose I should seek employment, but I'm not sure how quite to begin. I would be thankful for help in any way.

That said, I will do my best not to be a bother to anyone. There are many things I do not understand, but I was created with a capacity to learn, so I imagine that will come in time.

Thank you all again.

[Zoë has figured this thing out pretty quickly - she wouldn't be a modern teenager if she couldn't, after all. It's weird, and different from her PDA, but it's okay. She grins at the camera - the hospital can be seen behind her, so it's pretty clear she's in Leo ward.]

Hey! I'm... new here, I guess? I have no idea where I am. I tried asking someone what planet I was on and they just gave me a weird look. It's not Huckleberry because it doesn't smell like goat, and it's not Roanoake because it doesn't smell like farts. So... where am I?

Please tell me I didn't end up in some unexplored region of space because my mom is going to kill me if I did.

It's taken me too long to post this. Sorry about that.

Anyway, my school, the Knight Academy, showed up in the city weeks ago. I've been trying to get everything in order and save up some money since then so I can open it to the public. I think it would be a good place for people to learn things like swordplay and archery, especially since we have a sparring hall dedicated to practicing swordsmanship. There's a few rooms available for people who want to stay there. It's not a lot, though. Three of them are already taken, so I have...five left. We have a kitchen, so anyone who likes to cook can work there. Oh, and teachers. If you're interested in teaching swordplay or archery, I'd love to hear from you... I don't have a lot of money to offer, but I can give you something, at least.

If you're interested in anything I wrote, just respond to me here. Thanks!
