[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? )

[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!

[The screen flickers on to a boy wearing an amused grin.]

Everyone!

I've got good news! You're forgiven! The angel I summoned said so himself; God would definitely forgive you in a heartbeat because man's heart is weak, as is his mind, and we're all, uh, susceptible to the workings of the Evil One, and even as we wallow in our filth and sin, we -- You know what, forget God; I forgive you.

Seriously, no one could possibly blame you for what happened last week even if some of us were lucky enough to be scorpion magnets. Misery has it right - the important thing is to make sure that it doesn't happen again. If you all missed the announcements from the higher-ups, the people who were affected most severely were Scorpios. ...If you don't know what that means, in modern times on Earth - that's the 2000s - they were born when the Sun was in the sector of the sky dominated by the constellation Scorpio. This makes no sense if you were born outside Earth or in a time when we didn't go in for ridiculous things like pretending arbitrary sky-pictures meant anything about our lives, but the important thing is that the sun transitions into Scorpio beginning on October 23rd.

Guess what last week was.

The next sign is Sagittarius. The sun will shift into its sector on November 22nd.

So let's clear a few things out of the way - Everyone who was afraid, can you report in with your sign? Same thing if you were a scorpion magnet, though maybe that's more of a subjective thing. And everyone who's a Sagittarius, do you mind if we tie you to your beds from November, oh, 18th-ish to the 23rd? Your choices are (Yes/Of course/Definitely). If your name is Jun, (That's kinda kinky) works, too. If you don't know your sign, Sagittarius goes from late November into late December - so the end of a harvest season into winter in the Northern hemisphere, and the end of spring into summer in the South.

I'll keep track of the data. It's kinda my thing.

Oh -- this has nothing to do with anything, but I'm working in the computer labs of the university now. Drop by if you ever need anything fixed or if you just want to say hi.

[And someone just woke up in the hospital today, and makes the world's worst apology.]

I dunno shit what happened, and I can only remember a bunch of things but....whatever I did, please tell me I didn't hurt anyone. If I did I...

I kinda blacked out on the 23rd...

...I'm so sorry.

ihaveanannouncement

[With everything returning to normal, Saori's still a bit shook up from recent events. She's still sorting her feelings on all of it: Eikichi's attack, getting separated from SEES, the boss battle. But she can't stay cooped up by herself forever. She needs to let her friends know where she is, and also...get a new door.

The video flickers on. This seems to be the most popular way of communicating. It's not what she'd choose personally, but if it gets everyone's attention, the better.]

Hey everyone. This is Saori. If it's not too much trouble, I'd like to announce some things.

First, Minako-chan if you're seeing this, I'm alright. I ran into a couple people, and they helped me out. Speaking of whom, thank you everyone who fought the demon together. I've never seen teamwork that good before. I hope I was some help as well.

Second, thank you Minato-kun. I don't know what would have happened if I didn't contact you.

And lastly, does anyone know a good workshop? I...need a new door. [And to make her point, she points the camera to her front door, which looks to have been cleaved with an ax. She giggles self-deprecatingly.] Horrible, isn't it?

That's all I wanted to say. So, bye. [The feed cuts off.]

misery_hates_company

*Odd, you get the notion that Misery didn't exactly sleep well last night. Her eyes seem a little redder than normal, and her hair's tossled.*

Well I'm glad to see YOU all are relaxing so well after that battle. Has it ever occurred to anybody else that if THIS is what happens when the astrological signs turn to Scorpio, then what will happen when we shift over to Sagittarius? Or Taurus? Or, heaven forfend, ARIES? I rather think this is cause for concern, don't you?

Well I for one am not waiting to find out. There's bound to be a way to block these effects, and I for one intend to find it. If anybody finds anything out, tell me. I might even consider giving you a discount on my services.

For a while, anyway.

*Strange, why is this getting her goat so bad?*

grancenturio

Well, now. I should apologize for my behavior during that epidemic.

[Nessiah doesn't look too apologetic.]

I would prove that my eyes are a normal color, but that would be impossible, I'm afraid. So you'll simply have to take my word that I am in my right state of mind.

As for the rest of you... I hope you're not terribly injured or dead? If you are dead, please mention that to me here, I may have uses for you.

[If you want to assume that your character fought this scorpion-resurrecting asshole - because I am a failure at tagging logs - feel free!]

whereibelong

[She's been here for nearly ten days now. It's very strange, and different. She's not used to feeling this... isolated. Back home, she'd always travelled with Roxas and Axel, and even at Disney Castle it always seemed more... together. If she'd felt lonely, or had a nightmare or something, she could go find one of her friends. Not quite so simple here - the only person she considered a friend she had from home didn't... didn't remember. Not really.

Sure, it was for a good cause, being here. But that didn't mean it was easy.]

It's really strange... there's a lot we have here that we don't have at home, but... there opposite is true too. And...

[Ugh no, this isn't helping. She's probably not even making sense.]

Sorry. I guess I don't know what I'm trying to say.

So... does... anybody have friends they miss who are back home?

[ Snake is familiar enough with the COMP to respond to audio and video posts, but text posts have eluded him. Until now. ]

I'm giving the voice to text function a try. How does it look, is it accurate enough? Hello world! Smiley face

[ It's great being a Virgo. None of this event nonsense really matters. You can spend all day making posts like this one.

Of course he's going to use voice > text for his responses. Thank goodness technology is flawless and there'll be no typos or tricky homophones to deal with. ]

gforceinmyfaaaace

What do you do when you miss someone a lot?

[ *Pit is using voice-to-text since he can't type. Expect some...interesting errors every now and then. ]

poweryetunknown

Look, I'm just going to ask this straight out.

Who here's dead?

[... Smart ass responses incoming in three... two... one.]

And no, we don't need to swap death stories, that's dumb.

stringmods

Are any of you familiar with Carl Jung? If not, then I suggest you do.

But that is not my reason to come to you today. Rather it is to, perhaps, open your eyes should you chose to do so.

What makes good, good and evil, evil? Should both be simply placed as one or the other? If the 'evil' become the ruling force, would the rules be reversed? If someone steps up to remove a tyrant, are they doing good, or, in the eyes of others, are they being the ones who are evil?

...Or are we what makes these forces exist in the first place? Can good be really called good if there is no evil to defeat, no goal for them to attain?

You were all called here for a reason, but should you believe one side...or the other about what is the truth? As we become more enlightened, we tend to forget what came before. And as history has a tendency to repeat itself...

A man looks above to the nearby mountain. He knows not how it was made, and therefore decides that a god put it there. Is this man false? Scientifically, perhaps, we know that mountains are produced by the movement of lithospheric plates. Yet when we knew nothing of this, we saw the truth in a god. And so, this idea is born and now exists. Man gave it power, and the ability to create the mountain is now that god's.

Personas are reflections of a character's inner self, yet they are the gods, demons and powerful creatures of our worlds.

So then...can a man become a god...or was he always one?

hetried

Hey, so... I was thinking... These Persona things are kind of supposed to be us, right?

[He sure was sounding pretty unsure there. People that had seen him around could deduce that this was definitely nothing new.]

What if your Persona doesn't really fit...? Like, fit who you are? Do you think something weird happens?

[Minako is starting to get restless. The tournament only heightened this feeling, and so, today, after a conversation with Minato, she turns to the network to message the members of SEES she knows are present.]

( Filtered text to Minato Arisato, Mitsuru Kirijo, Shinjiro Aragaki, Akihiko Sanada, Miki Sanada, Minami Arisato, and Aigis )

[Afterward, she takes to the video for something a little more public and light-hearted.]

So I read on the news feed that there's going to be some kind of masquerade ball at the end of the month. Since it's Halloween-themed, that must mean costumes. Anyone else thinking of going and dressing up? I can't decide what would look the best!

getoutclaus

It's your friendly neighbourhood Santa Claus here, guys.

I just wanted to know if anyone wanted to form a team for dealing with any situations that might pop up - I heard there was an attack a while ago on a lab, right? If anybody wanted to, I dunno, prearrange to join up and fight evil and all of that glorious shit in the name of justice.

I already have two team members, so that makes a total of three of us, and I myself am a support Persona user and I've got some real expeirnece in that field.

[Santa rolls a few thoughts about in his head before he continues.

He wonders if Junpei and Snake will be aware that they're already being counted as his teammates, but surely they wont have a problem with that, right?]

All I ask of you is that you give me a few piece of information, yeah? Don't worry 'cause it's nothing intrustive and you can filter, lock, encrypt or encode the fucking shit out of it so long as you tell me at least how to read it.

I'll include the information I need at the end of the post, alright?

[And the audio feed ends there.]

( A handy dandy form is attached at the end of the post )
