[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.]

ooc: I KNOW THERE IS A MISTAG I TYPO'D AND SOMEHOW CAN'T CHANGE IT OTL if anyone can tell me how, that would be much much appreciated!


[ First things first. Necessities such as money and news had to be procured... and this being a city, Flynn could not do it alone. Contact with others was needed...

He would have much preferred to keep to himself, but the mission deemed it otherwise.

The feed begins with a background of a plain wall for a few seconds before Flynn appears from the side. The camera moves slightly to show a view of his apartment. It is just as he found it on the first day - nothing has been moved nor used. ]


"Ah... right. I believe this is working?

"I apologize for intruding on your time. As you can probably tell, I'm quite new to this city. Perhaps someone can answer a few questions of mine, to allow me to get my bearings?"

[ He glances once more to his side and seems to exchange a few (to the feed viewers) inaudible words with someone offscreen before returning his attention. ]

"I would like to know if it is possible to procure jobs anywhere in the city? Is there perhaps a recruiting agency that I can visit, or the like?"

[ There is another pause before he continues. ]

"As well as the thirteenth hour - I believe other creatures emerge during that time. We are allowed to hunt them, yes? Would that be of any use?"

[ He looks away for the last time before concluding. ]

"Thank you for your time, and once again, apologies for bothering."

[ The feed ends here. ]

[At around noon on the 31st, the following announcement goes out over the network.]

Hello, everyone!  It's New Year's Eve, and I hope you'll join me tonight in counting down the end of one year and ringing in the new!  I'll be in the Virgo Ward at the Statue of Frost all day handing out some things to help everyone celebrate, so I look forward to seeing you all there!

[Action; all day; Statue of Frost]

[Anyone who stops by the statue at any point in the day on New Year's Eve will indeed see Isabelle standing there next to a
big digital countdown clock adorned with balloons and other festive decorations.  There's also a small stand set up nearby with glasses of sparkling cider, party hats, and poppers for the big night.  She greets passersby with a big wave and a happy smile, and will gladly chat a bit with anyone who approaches.]

[The video feed shows a young man about nineteen in camo pants, military boots, a green t-shirt and a grey sweatjacket over it. To the most casual observer he would appear nervous maybe apprehensive, but he did appear that he was patient above all else.]

Excuse me. My name is Chris Ramirez. I've heard that you can contact others on this device and I would like to ask a few questions if no one minds. First off I would like to know if the names Maya Young, Kit Taylor or Len come to mind to anyone who is here? The second is who is in charge of this city? And does...

[While Chris was quiet before, he was barely above a whisper when he spoke his next words.]

Does anyone know what a Kamen Rider is by any chance?

[Shortly after everyone returns from the Geartopia adventure, their COMP feeds flicker to life to reveal a small anthopomorphic dog girl, eagerly smiling and offering a friendly wave.]

Hello!  I hope everyone made it back safe and sound.  I thought this would be a good time to introduce myself - my name is Isabelle, another Visitor like you all, and Mayor Sakahagi's new assistant!  I'll be working with Miss Junko to represent the concerns of the Visitors in the city, so if there's anything you would like to say to the Mayor or suggestions you might have for the city, please let me know and I'll make sure he sees them.  I know some of you were worried about the meeting the Mayor was having before with some of the citizens of the city who were concerned about the Visitors, so I'm here to report the results of that meeting so no one will have to worry.

[She reaches for a stack of papers, shuffling through it for several seconds more than is probably strictly necessary.]

Oh!  Um... sorry!  I'll just be a moment!

[The feed goes black for a few seconds, but there is still audio, and Isabelle can be faintly heard whining things like 'oh no, where did I put those' before she comes back.]

Ah!  Here it is!  Sorry for the delay...

[Clearing her throat, and with a small blush on her cheeks, she continues.]

First, it's been decided that all Visitors of the appropriate age need to attend school - that's elementary up through high school.  Anyone old enough to have graduated high school is free to enroll in one of the city's higher education facilities, but that's their own choice!

Second, there is no curfew for Visitors because of the need to protect the city during the 13th Hour.  However, very young Visitors under the age of 10 will need to have a parent or guardian with them.  This does not apply to demons, ghosts, robots, clones, or Visitors who may have been created recently as part of a laboratory experiment.  If there's any question about whether the curfew would apply to you, feel free to ask!

Third, the Mayor would like me to remind you all that the legal drinking age in the city is 20, and that this will be enforced the same way for the Visitors it is for permanent residents.

And last, as a matter of public decency, anyone with a, um...  [she blushes again at this point, averting her eyes from the camera] ...uh, visually questionable Persona... should try to avoid calling it out during the day, especially when there are children around.  There are demons and other scary monsters in the city, but the Mayor is concerned about protecting our youth.

[Isabelle coughs into her fist, quickly moving on from that point.]

Um... and that's all!  I've also prepared a Visitor satisfaction survey to get an idea of how you are all enjoying daily life in Hinoto-Ri.  This will also be a chance to suggest improvements to make the city a better place for the citizens and Visitors alike, so please take the time to look at it and fill it out!  The survey will be anonymous, so please be as honest as you like!  I'll report the results in a few weeks.

[Smiling, she bows her head, tail wagging in the background.]

It's been very nice meeting you all!  Again, if you have any questions or concerns, feel free to contact me at any time!

[Video; filtered to Desco immediately after the last call]

Um... Miss Desco?  I was wondering if I could have a quick word with you.

Hello, Hinoto-ri! [Morgan waves cheerfully at the camera. It seems he's gotten a lot more adept at using the COMP since the last time he posted to the network.] How is everyone doing today? As for me, there's something I've been wondering about for a little while.

Back home, we were always busy fighting and traveling, but here I have a lot more free time. [...he thinks about that for a moment, then hastily adds] Not that I'm not making use of it! I still have a lot of studying to do, or else I'll never hope to surpass Mother! But I also think it would be a shame to visit another world and not see any of the sights.

So, what I want to know from everyone is: what do you do for fun? Here in the city especially, but if there's something you really liked to do back home but can't here, you can tell me about that too! I really want to know what I should try out while I'm here, though. Hinoto-ri is so different from home, I'm not sure where to start!

[You know what's fun? Sitting around feeling depressed and listless. Chromedome's done a lot of that lately, and now he's struggling to pull himself out of it. That's not what Rewind would want, though thoughts of Rewind are what push him down to begin with. It's a sort of a vicious cycle.

When Chromedome appears on the network, he seems his usual cheery self.
]

Well, you organics sure know how to keep busy.

[Someone hasn't really been paying attention.]

So who wants to answer a few questions for a mildly curious Cybertronian? I can't promise prizes, but I might be able to promise an interesting conversation.

Still never going to get used to not having to get used to this thing.

Okay, so. I think I've got a little more handle on how this city works. Thanks to everybody who helped me get my feet on the ground. I never thought I'd be glad for Metatropolis being weird sh... stuff central, but it makes adjusting go faster.

[He knows this place drags kids here, or at least teenagers. Self-censoring is go.]

Though I've got to say, the coffin and garlic jokes just because I'm used to the night shift wear a little thin. I can't be the only guy here who usually gets up when the sun goes down, can I? Anybody else get that feeling?

[This is his attempt at being subtle about saying "where my Kindred at, yo?" Because he's not used to coming to a new city without actual introductions and contacts and things. As much as he hates his clan's organization sometimes, it makes knowing who's in on things much easier. Not like he can ask normal people where he can get blood at this time of night.]

Oh, by the way. Guess I should introduce myself if anyone cares. I'm Maugris, I'm new here. I know about weird occult or paranormal things, so if you need help with that stuff, let me know - just know that I'm usually asleep during the day.

"Hello. This is Hoshino Ruri. I was wondering two thing. Firstly have any of you ever made a model kit? I had one requested of me and while I had several crew members who built them in the past, they are all at home so I can't ask for help with them."

"Oh yes, also if any of you are good at sewing things, and discreet, I need some assistance with a project. For me. Nothing too complicated just I don't know how to sew."

She looks around and lets a breath out, still looking deadpan, but with a slightly more annoyed tone in her voice.

"Also, something of mine has gone missing. A passport from the nation of Peaceland. If you see it could you please get it for me? Something worthless here, but it is one of my few ties to my biological family, even if I hardly know them."

((ooc: The faeries have stolen Ruri's passport and she's looking for it, hopefully before people read it.))

[Hello, network. You find a young highschooler poking at the camera and quirking ann eyebrow.]

Oi, this thing's on, right? I need to talk to people here! It's important!

So...I don't know any of you, probably, but - I'm Gentarou Kisaragi! I'm going to become friends with everyone in Hinoto-Ri!

[He grins for a good long moment, before he puts a hand to his chin.]

But, did someone take my belt? It's kind of yay big - [He stretching his hands out to full length, separating them about head width apart.] And I came here with it! I usually keep it on hand, but when I woke up this morning, I, well...


[The camera zooms out, and it shows Gentarou in all his glory - in an odd black and white jumpsuit, complete with a cape that stretches down his back. A ghost-like insignia is emblazoned across the front of his chest. But it doesn't look like the outfit really... fits him.]

I was wearing this! [He sounds somewhat confused, looking away and smoothing his pompadour, before returning to the camera.] If anyone knows where my belt is, I'd really appreciate it! Maybe we an be friends, too!

But uh... first I'd kind of like my belt back. I told a friend I'd make sure I took care of it!

[And on that note, he fumbles with the new device, eventually ending the feed.]

This place is just hilarious. Seriously, I can tell. Barrel of laughs a minute from here on out.

[Phantom Girl has swapped out her black and white costume for a dusty old tan jumpsuit and a whole lot of weird electronic equipment. Actually, she vaguely resembles......]

Apparently, 'helping the city' translates into 'ghost-hunting' today, which is just about the worst use of my superpowers I've ever heard. ...Maybe I need a new costume insignia. Anyway, I'm not egotistical enough to think I can handle everything on my own - I've only been here like, two weeks, and yeah, there's stuff in this crazy place I've never gone up against before.

So! ...Who wants to help me out? I can make it worth your while. Never hurts to have a bona fide superhero in your debt, right?

I've been hearing about this weird castle that turns all spooky at night. In the, uh... Leo district, I think it was? It's pretty recognizable. Lots of gold filigree and that kind of thing. If you think you're game, feel free to meet me there a few minutes before midnight.

I'll totally bring snacks.

((Edit!  The action/log portion will be taking place here instead.))

[There are a million things wrong here, and Chromedome finds himself thinking of every single one of them. Was he kidnapped? Is his hallucinating? Perhaps he's been captured and having his mind messed with... though he's been paying attention to the little details, and they don't fit in with any mnemosurgery he knows. Yes, he's panicking just a lot little, but he manages to keep it to himself. For now.

He gathers that he's in some sort of organic colony, which is strange in itself. Still, he knows better than to run around where easily excitable organics can see him. Trying to duck behind buildings and stay out of sight is a hard thing when you're twenty-something feet tall. Eventually he gives up on that and figures out how to work this odd network device.

Casual as ever, he leans casually against a building and speaks as casually as he casually can.
]

Hello! I'm Chromedome, I seem to have lost the ship I'm on and everyone on it. Any help retrieving them will be rewarded with hugs and friendship. So if anyone from the Lost Light is here I'd definitely like to hear your voice right about now.

Oh, and questions like "Where am I," and "What am I doing here" should probably be answered. As a general rule, it's never a good thing when you have to ask those questions.

One final thing: Yes, I am a giant robot. Nice to meet you.

[action, all Hinoto-Ri]
[Throughout the streets of Hinoto-Ri this morning, a strange phenomenon manifests itself for a good hour or two. A girl in a bizarre white costume ensemble darts and zips up and down the streets like a gigantic dove in flight, heedless of anyone or anything in her way... Although 'heedless' might be a bit of an understatement. The vast majority of the time, she flits straight through the obstruction in her past, slipping past as insubstantially as a ghost and occasionally offering apologies on the way.]

Whoops! 'Scuse me, pardon me... Totally didn't see you there. Oh, geez, I swear, food tastes totally the same afterwards; you don't have to worry about it at all. ...Well, let's be honest here, you probably didn't want that junk going down your gut, any - whoa! Watch the purse, lady. Hey, I practically did you a favor.

[Eventually, she'll slow down long enough to drift slightly closer to the ground and perform a dramatic 360 in mid-air.]

Wow. I am definitely not in Kansas anymore. ...Not that I've ever been to Kansas in the first place although I think that's where Superboy comes from, but this totally isn't Kansas, either.  ...Not enough farms.

[video, public]
[The feed flickers on to reveal a girl in a strange costume with an expression of resignation.]

Alright, ahem, listen up, fair citizens of... Prehistoria!  Here's the deal.  My name is Phantom Girl, I'm from the 31st century - yes, that's three-one - and I don't really have time to wander around some retro Asian city.  ....Wait, this is 'Asia', right?  I've only ever seen a place like this in a history book.  It is kind of cool to be back in prehistoric times again, but that's what the Time Bubble is for, and we don't use it for vacations.  And, no offense, but I wouldn't take a vacation here, anyway.  It's kind of... cramped for me.

So I hear you've got some problems that need fixing.  Spill the details, I'll take care of it, and then I'll be back to my time, if you all don't mind.  I'm sure you're all very nice people, and I know whatever you're going through must be super hard, but... I've got like, whole planets I need to be looking out for here.  Cities are great, but I'm pretty sure Takron-Galtos is having like, the 6th breakout in as many months, so... yeah. 

OK, so!  Problem number one, go.
