[The user behind this message currently has no interest in flashing his face across the screens of an unfamiliar communications system. After a life hiding in the shadows, it's not a pleasant concept... and right now, he barely knows whose the face in question is.
Still, in his current situation: he knows that he's going to have to reach out, hard as it might be.
So - Even's first message to the COMP network as a whole comes as a text post only.]


Good afternoon.

If anyone out there is in the situation of having been brought here unexpectedly - and given the efficiency by which I have been, I suspect this is not an uncommon occurrence - I would like to speak with you.

Is there anything I should know about life in this city at present? What are the rights and responsibilities of residents? Have you had difficulty adapting to life here? Any advice would be welcomed.
While this is less of a priority, is anyone familiar enough with the city's history as to be able to tell me how it came to be in its current condition? This is more personal curiosity, I'll admit.

Thank you for your time and cooperation.

[Today is Nano's birthday, but she hasn't told anyone.  She's not really the type to call that much attention to herself over something like this, and it seems sort of insignificant to her compared to all of the problems in Hinoto-Ri.  But two years is a long time - at least, to her it is - and the past year especially has been full of so many chances to learn new things and meet new people, so she feels that she at least owes a little bit of celebration to herself.

And that's why she's at the bakery today, picking out a cupcake to enjoy while she wishes herself well for the next year.  Once she's got the tasty treat in hand, she takes it outside to one of the small tables set up near the street for customers to enjoy their snacks, pulling two small candles out and lighting them with a small fire spell that she learned from Namine.  After she hums a short little birthday song, she closes her eyes to send up a silent wish, smiles, and blows the candles out.]

[There's a long-haired boy on the video, glancing around as he walks. He's checking out the city streets, but his brightly-coloured eyes keep flicking up to the sky -- it's been a while since he's seen a real one.]

Uh, can someone tell me where this is?

[One hand comes up to rub at a black collar on a scarred throat -- the hand is made of some kind of silvery metal, and the scar on his throat is horizontal, like it was slit.]

Not F3 or something stupid like that?

[When the feed clicks on, it reveals Nano standing in front of the Amagi Inn, wearing a yukata and with her hands folded in front of her.  There's a sad look in her eyes that she's doing her best to hide, but since she's always been pretty bad at that sort of thing, it's probably pretty evident that she'd been crying before making this broadcast.  She sniffles for a moment, rubs her eyes, and takes a deep breath to compose herself before beginning to speak.]

Hello, everyone.  My name is Nano Shinonome.

[She bows politely to the camera before continuing.]

For those of you who knew her, Yukiko Amagi-san has returned home.  [She gestures behind her.]  Her family's business, the Amagi Inn, is still here in the Scorpio District.  Yukiko-san left a note here that said if she were to leave Hinoto-Ri, she would like me and her friend Kanji Tatsumi-san to take care of it in her place.  I want to do my best for Yukiko-san, since she's one of the closest friends I've had since coming here myself, but most of the inn's staff except for the Pyro Jacks that heat the water are gone too, and with school starting again next month, I'm not sure I'll have enough time to do the thorough job this inn deserves.

[There is a small sigh as Nano closes her eyes, pausing to compose herself again.  She wants to come off professionally.]

So because of this, I'd like to interview some people for positions working at the inn.  I'm going to work here myself on some evenings and on the weekends, but since my own house is in the city too, I won't be able to be here all the time.  If anyone is interested in working at the inn, please contact me and we can talk about it more privately.

I think we'll need some people to work at the front desk greeting guests, people to clean the rooms, and a small staff to work in the kitchen preparing meals.  There are some rooms for the employees to stay in if anyone would like to move in for convenience's sake, and the hot spring out back is open too for when you're not working a shift.  I'd like to get some people quickly so the inn doesn't have to close while we wait to fill the positions, so if you're interested, please reply as soon as possible.

[Another deep breath, a smile, and one last polite bow.]

Thank you very much!

[Video; unfiltered]

Um... now that everyone is out of the hospital, I was curious.  Did anyone else remember something extra?  I still have a memory that I know isn't one of mine, and I'm pretty sure it didn't belong to the person whose memories I had during everything that happened.  If anyone knows anything about this, please call me back.  I've been worried about it, and I'd feel a lot better knowing it wasn't just me.

[Video; filtered one by one to Blues, Namine, Kairi, and Latooni]

I wanted to apologize to you personally for the way I was acting before.  I know it wasn't my fault, but I feel really bad about the way I talked to you and how I was behaving.  Even if I had someone else's memories at the time, I still wasn't acting like a very good friend, and I'm really sorry.  I hope you'll forgive me.

[She bows her head very sincerely, frowning worriedly and looking all kinds of contrite.]

[Video; filtered to OU!Xion]

[This next call is going to be awkward no matter how she does it, so Nano decides to just be direct.]

Xion-san, I still have your coat.  I thought you'd probably want it back.  If you can bring the clothes I gave you too, I was planning to do some laundry this weekend...

Um!  I'll make some tea and cookies to share, so if you want to come over, I'll be around all day.

[Action; Friday evening; Castle of Departure]

[Nano's seen this place before - it's pretty hard to miss, looming over the Aquarius District every morning on her way to school.  But it showed up a number of times in the memories she got from Xion, and there's still a few strange lingering memories of things she knew how to do that Nano isn't exactly sure how to deal with, so she's decided to come by and check it out for herself.  Of course, she has no idea that several of her friends actually live here, so she understandably looks a little nervous as she approaches the front gate.]

Do... do I just knock...?
