When the feed switches on, it shows Desco wearing a party hat, her tail wagging fiercely behind her.

"Hello, Desco's adorable subjects! Today, Desco turns five! Therefore, you are required to come give her tribute! There will be cake for all successful tributeers!"

She pauses slightly.

"Oh! Also, Desco now lives at the Shinonome residence, since the rest of her family has disappeared. So come there, got it?"

[Oh, would you look at that. It's someone who hasn't been in the city for a short while.]

Hey, whoever's in charge here, I liked going home and everything, but can I have a warning next time? It's way too sudden to just pop!- and you're back home, pop!- and you're in Hinoto-Ri again. I didn't get to make any travel plans at all!

What'd I miss? Who's new? Even if you're not new, if we haven't met yet, we should get to know each other!

[Midori's back in full stride.]

Hey, everyone. Uh, hey, Visitors? Am I doin' this right?

[The voice that's playing is that of a rough-sounding young man, and one who sounds a bit stressed at that.]

So. From what I've heard... you guys are all Persona users, right? Brought here to help protect this place? Still havin' a hard time believing it, but - guess there ain't any point in denyin' what I'm seein', huh.

I just wanna let ya know ... if anyone ever needs any backup or anythin' like that... [the next bit comes out in a rush, loud and forceful-] oh, just gimme a call, okay? I've done this crap before. I'm - [and he pauses for a moment, picking his words.] Uh...

I'm here to help. I want to help.

So... lemme know, okay?

[Pause. As if an afterthought-]

...An' does anyone have any tips for people who've just got here? This city's kinda crazy...

[Throughout the day, a rather confused looking young man in concealing clothing that looks like it's got to be too hot for the weather can be seen wandering through the city, trying to get his bearings. Damn. He never was good at navigation... but he'll get this place mapped soon enough? Won't he?]

 [When the COMP is switched on, you'll see a close up of Athena's face. She was obviously in a good mood.]

Hey hey hey! Guess what everyone! Today I'm officially 19!

It's weird...  I don't feel any older, but I guess that's normal. Would anyone like to hang out today? If anyone is interested, just let me know.

'Kay bye!

[And just like that, she turned the COMP off. Apparently, it's also "throw a policeman at Apollo" day according to tumblr.]

[personal profile] reliving_days
[The video feed turns on to the upside down face of a little boy peering directly into the camera. The view shakes wildly as he appears to be figuring out his new toy.]

Hello? Is that little light supposed to be blinking? How is even doing that...?

[There's more spinning as he finally manages to turn it right side up.]

Oh! Um, if you can hear me, hi! My name is Link. I'm here to help you all protect the city! That's why we're been brought here, right? I know I look small, but I'm good at protecting things! I promise to do my best!

I have a feeeew questions before I get started, though. I saw a fairy a little while ago! Does that mean there's a fairy fountain nearby? I would love to meet this place's Great Fairy! I bet she helps protect the city, too!

One more thing! Has anyone seen my friend, Epona? She's a horse, red with white on her hooves and mane and tail. She was with me before I woke up here, but now I can't seem to find her. If you've seen her, please tell me! I'm a little worried. Thank you!

[There's some more shaking as he fiddles with the watch.] Wait... now how do I turn it o- [And the video switches off.]

[personal profile] all_wound_up
[Nano's been pretty quiet for the past week or so.  She's still been going to school every day and working at the inn, but she mostly keeps to herself, and has been going directly home afterward.  Those accustomed to seeing her out and about during the 13th Hour helping to fight demons will find her conspicuously absent.  So it's perhaps a relief to anyone who's been wondering or worrying about her that she's finally back on the network, doing her best not to look as sad as she feels.]

U-um... would anyone like to come over for dinner sometime?  Or... or maybe I could have another party or a sleepover at the inn?  Would anyone be interested in that?

[It's clear something else is up, but she's trying not to focus on that.]
tyrantball: (tentacles!)
[personal profile] tyrantball
As the feed switches on, it reveals Desco, wearing a unusual outfit. Her normal dress-like arrangement of chitin, spines, and eyes is gone, replaced with a crisp white blouse with medium-length sleeves and a sharply-pressed black skirt. Perched over her red eyes is a set of round, wire-rimmed spectacles. The overall effect is that of an efficient, no-nonsense secretary, or perhaps an overly strict teacher.

Who happens to be four years old, but there's not much Desco can do about that.

"Listen up, students! Your munificent Queen has remembered she has a day job as a highly-paid teacher at Netherworld Institute Evil Academy! And if she wants to continue drawing medical benefits, she has to slack off and teach something other than her specialty of applied Minionology!"

With that, she thumps the ruler in her hand against the easel behind her.

"That is why today, Desco will be teaching the basics of Little Sister Moe! When Desco finishes drilling knowledge into your empty skulls, you will know EVERYTHING about the duties of a Little Sister!"

Class is in session! )

Since it's coming up soon, I've been wondering... Would anyone be interested in getting together to make chocolates for this year's Valentine's Day? I'm not sure how many of you are familiar with the day itself, but where I come from at least, it's traditional for girls to give chocolates or chocolate baked goods to the boys they like. Of course, it's nice to make sweets for your friends and family as well.

Since last year got a little... hectic around this time, I think it would probably be best if we did it on the twelfth. It's a little bit early, but I think as long as we're careful, it should keep long enough for Valentine's Day on the fourteenth.

I will be asking teachers at the Phoenix Free School if we can possibly use the home economics room, meaning this will also be open to Visitors and residents alike. I think it would be good for all types of students to have an opportunity to get together and prepare for the holiday.

Even if you don't have any experience with cooking or aren't confident in your abilities, please consider coming! I'm best with simple things myself, so if it's a matter of making those, I would be happy to help. And if those who have more experience would like to come and help teach others, that would also be appreciated!

[Teddie had long contemplated if he should appear on the video as his real self or in his human form. In the end, a blond young man with a smile on his face is shown on the feed.]

Hello, ladies and gentlemen of Hinoto-Ri. My name is Teddie and I've just arrived here. Since it's my first time in this city, would anybody be willing to be my tour guide? [He could probably do it himself, but that would feel really lonely.]

I especially don't mind if a pretty lady escorts me. [If anybody thinks now they have seen sparkles, it was probably not only their imagination.]

[Dirk, sitting in his apartment, speaks into the camera. He's got his iconic shades covering most of his face, but even if his eyes aren't visible to express his interiority he speaks with clear, purposeful statements.]

I'd like to check with anyone else out there: I've noticed that the news from yesterday was identical with today's, and all media outlets continue to list today's date as the 22nd, despite the fact that it should be the 24th (if we are going by how much time has chronologically passed). Yesterday I was beginning to get suspicious and so I made an experiment of drawing a shitty face on my arm in permanent pen, and this morning I wake up and it's gone.

There was a movie about this that my best bro was really into for a while called Groundhog Day, about a guy who repeated the same day over and over. I'm starting to think whoever wrote that movie was a fuckin' prophet. I know I'm not imagining it, but I'd like to see if anyone else is experiencing the same phenomenon. Drop me a line, let's sort this shit out.


[He doesn't end with a closing or a sign-off, just looks a bit awkward for a fraction of a second behind those dark shades and then promptly switches the camera off.]

W-What happened to all of my saves?! I found a Legendary sword yesterday! A Legendary sword. Do you guys know the chances to proc a Legendary drop?! It's like, 1 in 8192 kajillion! Probably higher! I could go the rest of my life without ever getting another one!

This is totally not acceptable! I demand compensation! Whatever Hinoto-Ri is doing this time, I'm not gonna stand for it! Who's with me?! Do you hear the people sing singing the song of angry m --

[beep bloop beep sounds in the background]

Uh.

Never mind, it dropped again from the same enemy and probably after the same number of RNG rolls or whatever. 'K, false alarm, everyone can go back to their daily business.

I've got a new sword to test; you guys'll have to figure this one out yourselves.

[If there's one thing Bro doesn't like, it's being tossed into an unexpected situation. SBURB had been filled with that sort of thing, but this place clearly isn't much better. Even after gathering some information about Hinoto-Ri, he continues to be filled with restlessness because he didn't get the answer he wanted most of all. No choice but to address the local network, then.]

sup kiddies. listen up. i got separated from my flock.

if you know what sburb is? drop me a line here. if youve been to skaia? drop me a line. if your name is dave strider? youre grounded. and drop me a line too i guess.

btw. i have a mad hankering for doritos. plz tell me they have doritos here. will not accept shitty poser brands. and maybe some orange soda.
rabbitintherain: (Yoshinon - Plotting)
[personal profile] rabbitintherain
[Everything was still kind of a blur for Yoshino. She remembered that odd dream about that man in the mask, and hearing something about a city in danger, but that certainly hadn't prepared her for this. Where exactly was she? This obviously wasn't Tengu City, nor anywhere else she might have recognized. It was at least an hour before she decided to try and find some help.

Somehow, she managed to turn on the camera function of the COMP. How? She has no idea. She just did. A girl with blue hair is kneeling there on the ground, sniffling like she's been crying. It also looks like its been raining, at least in an area around her. Yoshino is sad, and lost, and confused. She's not sure what to do. The only thing that really sticks out about her is the strange puppet on her left hand. It looks like some sort of rabbit with an eyepatch. And it's the puppet that talks first.]


Oh, it's recording now, isn't it? Good!

So, here's the scoop. We have no idea where we are! There was some strange dream and then...poof! Here we are. Anyone know what's going on?


[And while Yoshinon talks, Yoshino continues to be absolutely silent, save for the occasional sniffle. Yoshinon would know how to handle the situation.]

If anyone's got answers, let us know. Or if you've seen our friends, Shido, Reine, Tohka, and Kotori, send 'em our way!

Aaaaand I think that's it.


[Yoshinon starts to say something about turning the camera off, but it's cut off by the feed turning off.]

[Introspective]

[...What a strange place she's landed herself into.

All these bizarre beings floating around, ranging from sentient snowmen with wide smiles, to jack-o-lanterns, to various other oddities...there were few words she had that could really describe it. That, and the word echoing in the back of her head -- Persona? What was that supposed to be? And why was she even brought here by this Philemon guy, anyway? She still had work to do, after paying Ayumu that last visit...she couldn't afford these delays now, of all times.

...But then, it doesn't look like she has much of a choice in the matter. Well, if that's how it's going to be, then...she might as well see what she can find out, especially with her lack of obvious sources.]


[Video]

[Oh, would you look at that, the feed's on again.

This time, there's a teenage girl with long hair tied into braids on the other end, still tinkering with the COMP--and when the feed goes on suddenly, she steps back a little bit.]


--Oh! I didn't think this would have a camera...

Hello there~ [Have the most sickeningly sweet smile gracing your screens, fellow Visitors.] Can anyone tell me why I was brought all the way to this city? I've already taken the time to ask some of the locals, but no one's given me any clear answers...it's a little worrying, to be honest.

Oh, and does anyone happen to know where I can find a place to stay, while I'm here? I'd rather not be curled up on the sidewalk in the cold...

Thanks in advance~

[...Okay, that probably came off a little more forced than she'd have liked, but. After spending two years away from being "Yuizaki Hiyono", she couldn't help but be a little rusty.]
melodyoflogic: (long forgotten wound)
[personal profile] melodyoflogic
[Those at Andromeda High School during break that happen to be passing by the music room might be in for a small treat: With the door left open just slightly on accident, the sound of a piano being played can be heard throughout the hall. The skill of whoever is playing it is more than obvious: On par with that of a professional, or perhaps even beyond that, some would say, a soft and vibrant melody escapes the room while it's player is completely engrossed in the music and his thoughts. Of course the school's piano would draw him here eventually, like a moth to a flame. Music was the one passion he could never fully give up on, after all. Like an addict, the desire to play would continue to call him back to music, no matter how much he tried otherwise to pull himself away.

But if anyone stopped to listen and made their presence aware, the music would stop abruptly.

Ayumu had been biding his time for the network to begin functioning properly again before moving forward with questions he needed to start asking, but now, with the city rebuilding and a fragile peace slowly settling, he knew it was the best time he'd get. ]


[Evening; Anonymous Text]

This place can fix chronic illnesses or health defects people had before their arrival, right? That's what it seems like, anyway. We can even heal injuries with magic.

What about more abnormal ailments? Things that can't be explained by science, even bordering on supernatural or magical. Has this place show itself to be able to have any affect on things like that?
