There is one word Tachikoma loves to describe herself with: Helpful. No matter the situation, Tachikoma loves helping out to the best of her abilities. And sometimes even without the needed abilities, Tachikoma likes trying to learn how to help.

Lately though, Tachikoma has been feeling like she hasn't been helping out as much as she could. Mostly she would ask when she bumped into someone, and then help out if she could, but that seems rather random. Maybe it would be best if she was a little more proactive?

Tachikoma can visit any networked electronic device after all. Well, any unsecured ones. Okay, a few secured ones too, but she really should only do that if on an official mission. Or the person really needs her help. So over the next few days you might notice an odd little blue spider robot on your COMP, phone, computer, or even certain kiosks.

Trying to write a post to the network? She'll be there in the corner, offering to check your grammar or spelling.

Walking to a restaurant with your COMP on? She'll pop on and ask if you need directions to some local eateries.

Checking your email? Suddenly Tachikoma will be there warning you about letters that might be phishing scams.

Sometimes you don't need to be doing anything, a reminder held up by Tachikoma might just pop up to tell you about a dentist appointment or get the oil checked in your car.

After all, sometimes the best way to be helpful is to take care of all the little things that people don't think about to even the most minutest detail. Right?

[OOC Note: Tachikoma has a permission post for how much info she can gather from your devices, and thus use in these interactions. You don't have to fill it out though if you just want to assume it's the bare (Level 1) essentials.]

"HMHMHMHMHMM-MWAHAHAHAHAA!"

The feed starts with, well...Desco being Desco-ish. As she turns the camera around, setting things up, there's a brief glimpse of the streets of Hinoto-Ri far below - she must be flying at a pretty high altitude.

Once she's finished setting things up, it becomes apparent that she's riding on something bizarre-looking, sitting cross-legged and leaning against the ten-foot statue of a Japanese girl in a penguin hat.

"Behold, Hinoto-Ri! Desco, the Final Boss, has returned from the depths of Hades! Having overcome heartache and my own weaknesses, I have transformed into...PERFECT DESCO!"

At this she jumps to her feet and strikes a cool pose.

"Mwahahaha! Since the time Desco has left, so much has happened! Desco will now share with you the culmination of her dreams! It's very important that from now on you defer to Desco in all things, because she has CONQUERED THE EARTH. And since she rules the entire Earth, then naturally Hinoto-Ri is one of her possessions!"

A slight pause to let that sink in.

"Desco will naturally allow the current corrupternment to continue administrating Hinoto-Ri for her, since she only wants the fun parts of power and not the boring meaningless paperwork. In the meantime, Desco is forming the Netherworld Invasion Squadron Alpha, or N.I.S.A! Any Visitors that want to help Desco invade and conquer the demon world can simply contact her inbox and either swear fealty to Desco - she already has it, since you are living in her city, but it's nice to observe the formalities - or name their price for mercenary work!"

Grin grin grin.

"This is Desco, Ruler of Earth, signing out!"

So.

[The video shows Meetra, who is sitting down in what looks like a training gym, complete with old-fashioned-looking straw dummies and wooden swords hanging on the wall.]

A little while ago, I offered an acquaintance of mine my services as a teacher at this place in Aquarius. He called it a Knight Academy, and that had a familiar sort of ring to it - besides, I like teaching almost as much as I like doing fancy sword tricks.

Only problem is, around when I moved in, he and everyone else managing this place disappeared, presumably to go home. I think they were all from the same world, so I guess they left as a group. I can't really say for sure, as I can't ask any of them.

At any rate, I no longer have an apartment, so I plan on still living here, but to pay the utility bills for all this space I'm going to need students to teach. If anyone wants to learn how to use a sword or fight hand-to-hand, how to have a philosophical debate with yourself and win, or even meditation techniques that should help refine your control of your Persona, you can come down to the Knight Academy. I can even teach you about the Force, if anyone's interested, though I make no promises about anyone becoming a Jedi.

On a related note, since I don't know everything, there are at least eight bedrooms in this place I don't need, and I have extremely flexible standards when it comes to sharing living space, if any other instructor-types want to help out with the teaching and the rent. You can reply to this post or use my network mailbox if you're interested.

Now that I've got that little hyperlink comment to work I guess I can post thi--

Hey guys, I think we may have our first real task here. I'm sure you've seen the graffiti all over the place, right? I think if we take time out to go and help clean that up, then it'll look good in the eyes of the public. If we can work together with some of the natives too, that'll help us get to know them better. So I hope your scrubbing arms are prepared! Let's go out there and make a difference.

And then, a little extra: )

[After spending some time looking around town, talking with locals, and efficiently gathering information, Fumi's ready to introduce herself to the network.  Except it's not so much an introduction as a combination lecture / interrogation.  She doesn't have time for idle pleasantries - there is a new research topic afoot.  Her face is expressionless as she launches right into her diatribe.]

Persona.

A concept first introduced by Swiss psychologist Carl Jung in the early twentieth century, described as 'a kind of mask, designed on the one hand to make a definite impression upon others, and on the other to conceal the true nature of the individual.'

[Dry and pedantic, just like she likes it.  Although at this point, her features take on a hint of frustration.]

I have vague memories of having heard this word shortly before waking up in this city, and given the rather abrupt nature of my arrival, I feel safe in assuming the word holds a more significant meaning in this place than would normally be suggested by traditional psychological terminology.  I've also gathered that I'm far from the only person to have arrived in this way, or to have experienced that vague dream upon arrival.

So, Hinoto-Ri, what can you tell me about the Persona phenomenon, and what is the most efficient way to awaken one?  Please make your responses as brief and concise as possible.  I may have found my next research topic.

[The woman smiles before ending the feed and waiting for responses.]

This may seem like an odd question, but it's something I am curious about and haven't found much information.

That and I haven't been in this city for that long.
[A couple months isn't that long to some people, and normally Blues wouldn't think of it as a short time either but hey. Things are different here.]

I was wondering if anyone has actually been underneath the city?

[The video displays a blue haired girl with a slightly confused, but mostly contemplative look on her face.]

So a lot of people have been talking about this new book both on the streets and the network and I thought it might be a good way of getting a better understanding of humans and the types of things they like to do.

I was able to get a digital copy so I could read it quickly, but it's a little confusing. I mean, I know it's suppose to be fiction, but sometimes it can show trends in reality.

So are relationships usually that complicated? Or with so many people?

Are rivalries actually just a cover for some deeper relationship between the rivals, or was that just wishful thinking on Mimini's part?

When people are in love, do they really hurt each other like that? Because I was under the impression humans don't like pain and try to avoid it, but it seemed that one character was really enjoying the pain...

Maybe I should read the first book, but I just got here and everyone was talking about this book, so I wanted to keep up with the current topic.

[When the video feed comes on, you might all recognize a very famous looking face appearing on your screens. One Yosuke Hanamura has got his COMP on his wrist aimed at his face, and he looks... terribly deep in thought about something. Concerned, even. And, for a change of pace, he seems to have actually posted to the entire public network.

This isn't just a message for the visitors, this is a message for all of Hinoto-Ri, one he's sure people are going to look at because of his mini-celebrity status. Boy it must be important.]

[Hey there, Hinoto-Ri.  There's a certain hardworking robot girl that's just about hit her limit tonight, and thanks to having accidentally turned on the broadcasting function of her watch while she was taking it off to do some work, you all get to see just what she's been dealing with ever since half the city disappeared.]

Ahhhhhh... I don't understand any of this!  What am I supposed to do?

[Nano is loudly whining to herself while sitting at a desk.  There are papers stacked and scattered everywhere haphazardly, along with several calculators sitting in various locations on the desk, paper streaming out of them like ticker tape at a parade.  Other receipts are messily strewn about the desk and the room, and even more go flying as Nano pounds the desk in frustration before flopping forward onto it.]

I can't run a business!  What was I thinking?
