[Otoha hasn't really noticed what's going on around the city. It's not like he's not usually honest about most things anyway. But tonight has him sitting on a rooftop, staring out at the city. He's asked this question before, in a different place, but he still wants answers. He's never found an answer that's satisfied him.]

Why do people think that killing people is wrong? Sometimes it's the fastest solution for a problem. Yeah, people will be sad, but they'll get over it. It's kind of a pain when people get so upset whenever it's brought up.

... Johnny, you're not allowed to answer. I know your answer.

[ Even after his headache of a month, filled with British accents and a curious set of memories, Mikale is still not feeling "settled". Maybe especially after that crazy time. He's been looking around for ways to stay busy, like a job or picking up new hobbies, but eventually has to come to terms with some facts: He is stuck here and no amount of busy work will keep him from being a bit ~~very~~ lonely. Especially considering he hasn't been without his best friend like this in a long time. ]

Okay, so... Hi. I'm Mikale. I got here... recently enough. I guess. So... [ His call is off to an awkward start. It's public, right? He's not sure how to behave for a public call like this. Especially one with video. ] A lot of you have been here longer than me, so... I guess you'd know better than me about this. [ sigh ]

How do you stop missing someone who isn't here? Like if you miss her-- uh, it... them, really... kinda badly. Is there a ritual or something, like for getting rid of bad spirits? A tea I can drink? Does missing people work that way?

So hey there!

[Taro grins, waving a little. Nothing out of the ordinary here, human form is great, etc.]

I'm still kind of new around town. I'm looking for a job. Anyone have any ideas? I've got experience dealing with supernatural creatures, but I've also got some retail experience, too. I'm more of a people person.

And uh, if anyone ever wants to grab lunch or something, I'm open. Until I get a job, at least... but for the right person I think I can make an exception.

[He winks, and turns off the feed.]

I know I am not the only one to be suffering from suddenly having memories that are not your own. I am not sure what it is I am experiencing, whose memories they may be. They are very overwhelming. They are related to nations in Europe, Germany specifically. I will not discuss further details on a public network about the content, though.

What I want to know,is if this is happening to everyone, and if so, does this mean someone else is experiencing mine? If so, I wish to speak with you.

[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?

I am having... some issues. Mainly, her.

[The video opens with Nikolai looking exasperated, and a small Pixie can be heard from time to time, zipping around in the background. It's yammering excitedly to him about... well, nothing, really, and occasionally comes over to give Nikolai some adoring gazes before taking off again, trying to get his attention.]

This has something to do with the fortunes at the festival yesterday, doesn't it. I should have known something would happen. это пиздец...

I can't even go outside. When I walked outside and got near traffic, car alarms started going off. It only seemed to be when I walked close to them, no one else. So, ah, if you were wondering what the noise was outside Pisces apartment this morning, I apologize.

If anyone has any idea wh-- [There's some clambering noises off camera, the sound of something tumbling over. There's an "Oops!" out of the Pixie. Nik goes from looking put out to pissed off.] Hey, I said to not touch the guitar--!

[The camera switches off, but you're free to call him back and explain that maaaaybe he picked up a curse or two. At least when this is all over, he has some nice things headed his way.]

[The stress and emotion from seeing that notice posted, caused a slight malfunction and now there was a feed of Eikichi's reaction to it.]

Dammit, not again!!!

[Video; morning]

[The video feed clicks on to show Nano excitedly bouncing on her heels, smiling brightly and waving at the feed. She's wearing her blue and white spring school uniform from home, and does a spin in front of the camera to show it off.]

Good morning, everyone! It's the first day of school! Isn't it exciting? I'll be attending Andromeda High School as a first year starting today, and I hope to see a lot of you there! Maybe some of us will even have classes together!

[Action; Andromeda High School; throughout the day]

[Nano is probably the only one in town quite this excited about school starting up again. She can be found merrily strolling through the hallways, bag full of textbooks at her side as she makes her way to classes. In class, she is a very attentive student, taking copious notes and always nodding seriously at everything out of the teacher's mouth. At lunch, she's got a homemade bento with the sausages cut up into cute little octopi shapes and all sorts of other cutesy culinary tricks, and is definitely willing to share with anyone who doesn't have enough to eat. And after classes are over, she takes her time walking home to the Pisces apartments, meandering through the city and enjoying the warm spring air. She's happy to talk to anyone and everyone who's interested in making a new friend throughout the day, although she's probably still a little too shy to approach on her own. Still, though, the day is full of promise!]

[Video; evening]

Oh! I'd almost forgotten! I went to the Velvet Room the other day and asked Igor-san for a new Persona! He told me my power was growing, and that he had just the one for me. It's the Easter Bunny, in celebration of the holiday. I'm going to meet him right now!

[Nano calls out 'Persona' just as usual, expecting a cute and fluffy little companion. Instead, what she gets is this ridiculous monstrosity, which shows up and immediately begins laughing and cavorting about. Nano lets out a scream, and the feed flickers a bit before dying out entirely. She'll, uh... probably be all right.

April Fool's from the Velvet Room!]

[ Yuri decides to turn on the feed, if only because she has some several important questions to ask several people regarding this place. And some not as important things. ]

So, Hinoto-Ri.

It seems that you just brought me in just in time for a very special day. [ That special day is actually tomorrow, and it's her birthday. ] But that's not really important right now. Anyway, I'm Yuri — the leader of the Shinda Sekai Sensen, otherwise known as the Afterlife Battlefront. I got here recently, so I still have some important questions to ask.

First and foremost: if there's anyone who's any good at sewing make sure to contact me right away, either through this post or my inbox. We can talk about the exact details in private that way, after all.

Also, I'd like to apologize for any problems some certain idiots who are wearing this emblem. If they've caused any major problems, however, I'd like to know about them.

[ And she'll actually show the emblem that's stitched onto the arm of her outfit to everyone. Hopefully they really haven't been causing any trouble.

... At least besides the commotion that happened when she first showed up. ]

And last but not least: does anyone know what forms these 'Personas' can show up as? It's important that I know for sure.

(ooc: just wanted to say that replies will be slow and many of them will probably be backtagged!)

[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!

[The video feed flicks on to show DeDeDe standing in front of a well-stocked bar. The lighting is low at the moment, as there's still no electricity in the club, but enough sunlight is filtering through the windows to make the scene visible. The massive penguin man quirks an eyebrow and gives a small upnod before offering a casual wave.]

Afternoon, Hinoto-Ri. Seems this city's even more generous than I thought.

[He gestures behind him.]

It's seen fit to return a little business venture I was runnin' back home. Now I've never been one to look a gift horse in the mouth, and seein' as it's here and I'm here, I'm plannin' to reopen for business in a couple of weeks. This here's the Penguin's Nest, in the Taurus District right down the same street as that pirate bar and Nyx's place. I'm lookin' to turn it into a respectable establishment where adults can go to enjoy a few drinks, a little music, and the pleasure of each other's company.

[In other words, it's a sex club.]

'Course, a place like this don't just run itself, so I'm lookin' for some local talent to help me keep the place up. Bartenders, bouncers, dancers, musicians... you got somethin' you can do that you think might fit in here, you just give me a holler and we'll see if we can't work somethin' out.

Don't got much in the way of signage right now, so just look for the warehouse with the door marked 'Private Entrance.' I'll be lookin' to remodel the place a bit to draw in some more business once we get up and runnin'. I'll be here 'til it gets dark if you'd rather hash things out face to beak. Just ask for DeDeDe.

[He flashes a grin at the feed.]

Well, that's all I got for now. You all have yourselves a marvelous day.

It seems those of us who were taken to the tower have returned. Has everyone returned safely?

For those who were here in Hinoto-ri: did anything happen while we were gone? Did you know what had happened to the rest of us?

I just hope that, if and when this happens again, we can be a bit more prepared next time.

[A simple anonymous text goes out to the network today. Nothing malicious, honest, just curiosity speaking. For those who know him well, it’s anything but anonymous when they read it. It's a habit of his, after all, and bringing up his identity (or attaching an identity at all) might cause a bit of bias...though asking questions anonymously would subject him to some bias from those browsing the network anyway as well. ~~Shhhh.~~

Ever-curious, ever-wondering. And...a bit ever-tactless, at times. Despite the fact that several people just returned from something quite traumatic, he’s most interested in their thoughts. However, others are certainly welcome too. Nothing wrong with that.]

Though seemingly unpredictable, the power to traverse worlds may contribute to the growth in humanity’s possibilities. But will it lead to man's destruction instead, or...?

[Of course, he may sound a bit detached, but considering his own situation...oh well. Most of the humans here seemed to want to go "home", despite their duties here, and despite the need of their presences here.

And then an apparently illogical topic jump/subject change. Honestly, it’s something he’s been wondering for quite a while now, ever since his arrival. Now that people have experienced more of the proof of existence of multiple worlds, surely this would be a good time to bring it up.]

Hinoto-Ri, I wish to know. What do the worlds you hail from possess that make you desire to return to them so?

[A pause in the typing, as if he just thought of something else.]

Or, for those who have recently returned, another question, if you will. What in this world did you desire while you remained in another?

[...He’s expecting answers like “not going through hell and back”, for the last one. Though given what he’s overheard, he’d pick Hinoto-Ri over wherever they went himself any day. Alcor couldn’t blame them in the least. Humans shouldn't have to needlessly suffer...]

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.]
