Everyone!

I've, uh. Got good news! Again! It looks like we all survived the onslaught of invisible centaur archers that didn't actually show up in November! Aha. Hahaha... Uh. ...Yeah, I was wrong. I'll give it a few seconds so you can all yell at me.

[................]

Time's up! So, right.  Even if we're not gonna be attacked by centaur archers, Arturia and I have been going through the library pretty thoroughly, and we have some findings to report.

First, a few of you were right about the compatibility theories. Everyone who was affected last time either had terrible compatibility with Scorpios or were fated to live happily ever after with them. If you want to take your chances, you've got a pretty good shot of finding true love from the guys who were trying to murder you before.

Second... This one's about the history of the city.  It's pretty long; I'm gonna read off my notes here........

Hinoto-Ri - that's the Japanese phoenix, for those of you who aren't native. The Ho-ou. )

[Atsuro finally stops blabbing on, reaching down to take a swig from a mug of water at his desk.]

..........Oh yeah! 

If you're not sick of me talking yet, I need someone who's good at sewing to do a favor for me.  I'll pay you back by reading your astrological fortune!

[That's probably a joke.]

introspective stuff (not broadcasted) )

[The video turns on, and the first thing one hears is the rather terrified and stammering voice of one (1) Sam Erstwhile.]

This-this is really not okay! I mean, it's my birthday today, I really didn't need this as a birthday present!

[The guy seems to be on the verge of fainting, he's so pale. It's oddly dark behind him, even though it's morning...]

I-I...listen, is it possible to just refund a Persona? That's possible, right? Because...mine is a freakin' abomination, and I'm not really sure I want it. How come all of you get the cool ones and I get the one that looks like it feeds on little kid's nightmares??

[And then the darkness behind him moves, and what looks to be like a dark tentacle rests on Sam's shoulder. Sam shudders, letting out a slight whimper, as the skull-like face of his Persona drops down into view.]

[
Looks like Sam wasn't kidding about that abomination stuff at all.]

They said having a Persona was a good thing. They said you'd love it, and that it'd help you, and...ugh, this isn't what I was expecting at all!

[And he buries his face in his trembling hands. He really looks like he's going to have a nervous breakdown over this.]

Happy birthday to me...

[Video]

[The feed snaps on to show Asem, looking as official as he can, though a bit nervous.]

Excuse me! This is important, so please listen to what I have to say.

Something of mine has gone missing. It's like...I guess you could call it a robotic pet? But it also does important stuff for what I do. It's round, green, and has a pair of flaps that it likes to flutter, and it moves around by either rolling or bouncing.

--Actually, wait. I've got a picture.



If you see it, can you let me know? Or try to catch it, but it's...tricky. Thanks in advance, and that's it for now.

[End feed.]

[After this, you may see the Haro bouncing or rolling around the city. If you try to chase it, however, be warned -- Haros are notoriously slippery!]
primordial: (and how i walk and wander)
[personal profile] primordial
[There's a scrambling sound and a few mutterings of "you turn on the video over here, don't you?" before the video finally turns out, showing the somewhat morose face of one (1) Sam Erstwhile, disheveled brown hair almost covering his eyes. He glances away with a slight frown.]

Um, right, what was I going to say here...

[And then a nod as he looks back up.]


Right! Right. Erm, yeah. Hello to all of you, I guess. I'm Sam and...I just arrived a few days ago, so I'm sorry if I'm still new to all of this.

[He tries his best at a smile, but it's kind of a pathetic try, at best- his mouth just quirks upward for one second before dropping down to it's usual position.]

I...I just am a little confused, honestly. I mean, people have told me about the Persona thing and the fact that we have to fight monsters and all, but, I mean, why were we chosen in the first place? I know plenty of other people who would be way better at this than me. And it's not like I applied or anything, so...what's so special about me?

[He sighs, scratching the back of his head.] Somebody I talked to before talked about how they choose us based on our souls, but...I just want to hear what other people think. I'm not really interested in why we were chosen, more like how we were chosen, if that makes sense. What sets us apart from all the other people from where we come from?

Because, I dunno...I think they made a really huge mistake when they chose me.

[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.

[ Today Hinoto-Ri is greeted by some panicked kid's yells over the network. Sorry about that. He's a fresh arrival, but is already feeling the effects of the Scorpio event. ]

Mr. Butterfly-mask--!! Are you out there!? I-I need to know if my friends from The World are here! I remember, I remember everything... Maybe they're here too? 

Oz-kun!! Hope-kun!! Yuuta-kun!?! Please tell me you're okay!

O-oh no what if... what if I'm the only one here... What if... what if they're... [ His eyes are starting to water. Someone stop it before it gets worse? Or not. Your call. ]

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?

Where do I sign up to join the Anoli?

Or if no one knows;

Where do I find someone who can help me join the Anoli?

[There is a blond woman with a poofy-looking hat on the display. She speaks, however, in a voice that sounds a bit too high-pitched for the speaker.]

Hello, everyone!

I got here a few days ago, and I'm not really sure what happened. Somehow I got here in the body of my online game character, so please call me Atoli.

I hope we can all be great friends!

[When the video switches on it's a bit crooked, but it's soon apparent that a child's face is staring into the watch.]

Is it on?

[Someone else off-camera must have given an affirmative answer, because now she smiles.]

Hello!

[Then she pauses. She wants to introduce herself, but that someone has just reminded her not to. When she continues speaking, the smile has faded and her voice sounds... well, like a young child who is a bit scared, but mostly confused, and also trying very hard to sound confident instead of either.]

Can anyone I know hear me?

They said I should ask because lots of people can see this, like on television! [Who 'they' is is also left unclear. But the idea of a video phone is apparently exciting, smartphones aren't exactly the norm in Inaba...] Um... So if you know me, then answer back with a video.

[Because text answers are apparently also bad. This list of rules is even longer than her Dad's.]

And don't worry, I'm okay. [This, she adds because she knows her family well enough to predict their reaction to this weird kind of message. Her Dad is probably going to yell either way, though.] ...Thank you for listening.

...Um, how do I turn it off?

Hi. This is Link from Skyloft. I'm writing this because I've noticed people doing this in Capricorn while I'm patrolling at night and I just want it to stop. If you can read this, you don't have a curfew. So you don't have to act suspicious if you see me in the park at night. It's distracting when people act suspicious for no reason. I have to keep an eye out for people who are out when they shouldn't be and that doesn't include you. Thanks for reading this.

Seems like you guys're all tangled up in some kinda huge mess here, along with the fate of the world itself.

Sounds pretty fucking dull if you ask me; it's not like I'm even from this piece of shit world, know what I mean? I really couldn't care less whether it burns to the ground, sinks into the abyss or if it somehow survives.

I mean obviously I'm gonna stick around to see how it ends; I'll even lend a hand, as long as I can be bothered and don't wind up bored shitless.

So I gotta ask; what is there to do in this shithole? Anything fun gone down lately? Fill me in, dudes.



[Santa stretches and stifles a yawn, finally continuing with a slight grin on his face.]

And it's not like I really care one way or the other, but I might as well ask... any of you losers from back home recognize me? It's Santa, by the way, incase you can't see my face.

[Which should, for better or for worse, cover of the people he knew back home]

And no, Santa isn't my real name, that'd be stupid as all hell.

I'm just not giving my real name, alright?

Laters.

[Video. The kid on the screen seems to have a red tint to him. He must be in some kind of district that has lots of red lights in it.]

Okay so, this isn't how I meant to make my first impression. I might try again later.

They explained everything about magic monsters and extra hours of the day and all kinds of unbelievable stuff, but the most unbelievable thing I got was the directions to my new apartment. I have no idea where I am, and I'm really getting the feeling it's not somewhere I want to be.
