[Video]

[The video feed clicks on, but it's pointed down at end of the SFC owner's orange dress, voice heard as it gets turned around every few seconds as if the SFC was being examined.]

Ah--!! Did I turn a camera on? I wonder if...

[Quickly the focus is shifted to that of a girl sitting with the coral behind her, red pig-tailed hair and a big smile on her face despite her circumstances. If Rise had learned anything in her time in showbiz, it was that it was a good thing to keep a smile on even when you weren't really happy. Because more than anything, scared as hell was a better phrase for how she was feeling right now.

This was definitely not where she was too long from now! This couldn't be the TV world, could it...? No, they'd all already dealt with that. Adachi had been arrested after all! But even with that comfort in mind, it didn't change her situation. Maybe someone would explain this to her. Maybe her friends were here, too! That'd certainly make this all a little easier to bare!]

Hey there! If anyone is seeing this, please respond!!
To be honest, I don't really know where I am...so any information anyone could give me would be great!
Thanks a bunch!

Also, Senpai are you here, too? Or anyone else I know?

[She blinks, recognising Rise. Though from where though, she couldn't quite put her finger on it.]

Ah, you look familiar...

(( ooc: is rise in her yasogami high uniform? ))

[A reply? Perfect! She wasn't actually sure if the SFC was just recording like a camcorder or broadcasting, but there was her answer.
Although...she looked familiar, huh? Maybe Rise wasn't as far away from home as she thought...even if she did just have a year-long hiatus.]

You've probably seen me on television then, right? Risette?

((I forgot that they aren't wearing those at the end of the game-- sjkghj fix'd. So no.))

I apologise, where are my manners --

[The name definitely sounds familiar, the details will come back to Mitsuru later but for now she's just going to clear her throat.]

It's a pleasure to meet you Risette. My name is Mitsuru Kirijo. This is a place called Vatheon. As you may have noticed, we are under the sea. Unfortunately, there is no way of leaving of one's self accord.

Oh, don't worry about it, you can just call me Rise! Rise Kujikawa!
It's nice to meet you, Mitsuru!

[But...wait a minute, the second part didn't quite make sense. Under the sea...?
And what was that about--]

No way of leaving?! What is that supposed to mean?

[Ah... another of those from one of her chosen's team. She chuckles from her own little nook.]

You are in Vatheon, child- a world far from our own. However, it does not mean that you are alone...

Vatheon...I was told that name by some1 else 2!
Its another world tho? Rly?! ヾ(´･･｀｡)ノ”

Who is this? U said im not alone, do I know u?

[omg Rise's texting is obnoxious--]

[oh dear. it is worse than Hanamura-san's, and that is indeed saying something...]

I merely mean that I have seen you back home. Though, you may not recall who I am...
Regardless, I do believe a few of your friends are present as well.

[W o w rude Yosuke has way worse texting skills. ~~He doesn't even use cute emotes, what a loser~~.]

O who?! I rly want 2 c them again ASAP!!

Y r u anon tho??
Saying u know me + not letting me c who u r is kinda creeeeeepy! No offense.

[not rude you're rude for making someone as old as her try to decipher all of this. 8U]

I have seen Hanamura-san recently, and I believe you children are acquainted with a few others as well...

None taken; I merely prefer my privacy when I can afford it.

[Not my fault that Izanami isn't up with the times and savvy with txt talk! :I]

O Yosuke-senpai! Ill have 2 find him thx! + whoever else I am acquainted w/ 2. (＾▽＾)
[No Rise you don't want to do that stop--]

OK I can get that! But can I atLEAST have a name 2 call u by tho? I cant call you anonymous all the time.

[Hey you try being sealed in Yomi for centuries. At least she knows how to type? :I]

You may want to be wary, though. There are a few who are less-than friendly.

[Both from Inaba or from elsewhere...]

A few know me as Michiko Shirasagi. Though, it's only a nickname...

[Eh, if she ever tried sensing it or looking through the contact lists for familiar names... well. It would be obvious.]

[Okay I'll give you that.]

OK Michiko it is! A nickname is fine cuz at least now i have something 2 call u!
Anonymous is waaay 2 much a hassle 2 type all the time.

Now that thats outta the way, whats this about unfriendly ppl? I'll be wary tho, thx 4 the heads up Michiko!!

[Hey, she only just got here. Give her time to learn the lookup function and she'll despair in no time ahaha.]

Couldn't you have just said "anon" instead?

Any time, Kujikawa-san. Though, I would check the contacts list if I were you.

Well yeah! But I wanted a name 4 u hehe

O I can do that?? Give me a sec 2 figure that out then!

[Sure is messing with this SFC.

Oh hey there we go, a list of names! Time to just browse through all of them for fami--]

[THE HELL IS ADACHI DOING HERE]

[WAIT WHY IS IZANAMI HERE TOO]

Edited 2012-08-23 16:17 (UTC)

....
OK
I see what you mean now.

Is the fact im here a part of ur doing?!

[Aw, did we figure it out so soon?]

No, it is not.

[Well anon + "I know you from home" + all this other stuff really helps reach a conclusion.]

Y should i believe that? I mean i bet its something u could do..
If not then y r u here 2? I mean Ill believe ur word until i see proof otherwise but can u blame me 4 being suspicious??

I will not deny that it is not beyond the realms of possibility, however...

[And now to filtered...]

I had been defeated and, as the world decreed it, left it to you children whether your choices would bring about happiness for humanity... or not. There is little reason to lie about my intentions in such circumstances, Kujikawa-san.
As for why I am here... it is because the world seemed fit for me to arrive here rather than return to my own 'realm' of the dead. It is that simple.

Hello, miss.

I'm Ky Kiske, and you've been kidnapped to this underwater bubble. It's called Vatheon. Where would you like me to start?

Nice to meet you! I'm Rise Kujikawa!

[First she's told she's under the sea, then another world...now a bubble. What even was this Vatheon place? It was confusing and slightly annoying the poor girl, her voice showing it.]

A bubble..? I don't get what you're talking about, I'm getting a lot of weird explanations on where this is! Could you start by telling me how I got here in the first place, maybe?

A bubble...that's why we can breathe when we're underwater.

As for that, I can't really say, other than the fact that the power for your abduction probably came from the coral you might see near you.

Hmm, I guess that makes sense on the breathing part. I just figured it was a glass dome. Like an aquarium?

[Rise took a moment to look away, obviously studying the coral nearby her for a brief moment, and then back with a slightly disbelieving look. But hey, she had to have gotten in this place somehow, right? It wasn't too much more far-fetched than people being thrown inside televisions, so...]

Powers of abduction...that's sorta creepy! I mean, it just takes anyone outta their homes and throws them in a fishbowl?! I'm guessing since people are actually here that means there's no way back, right?

I suppose we don't truly know what it is, so you're welcome to call it anything you wish.

[This wasn't the part that he liked to have to say, but better for her to have all the facts, he knew.]

Not a way that we can control, although some people do seem to be chosen to leave...we presume that they've returned, although we've no way to verify that.

[Wait a second, she recognizes that girl... That's a well-known face...]

You're new here? Excuse me, but... you look a lot like an idol from my world.

[Oh, wait, she probably doesn't know what that means if ...]

...By the way, you're in a different world now.

[Heeeey someone knows her from her work! Maybe she's not so far off from her home, right?]

Oh! Risette, right? That'd be me! You can just call me Rise, though!
You're from Japan, too, then, right?

[But...there is that 'other world' bit again. Alright, maybe she was far from home somehow.
This all kept getting more and more confusing as Rise tried to think about it.]

...Yeah, I got told that, sorta. I'm still pretty confused as to how I ended up here though! I was told it's called Vatheon.

[Well then she will.]

Mmhm, that's right, Rise-chan. I'm from Iwatodai.

...It's pretty complicated, so first off, are you okay and dry and everything? I can come get you if you're not.

Iwatodai, I've been there a couple times. It's a nice place!

And yeah I think I'm okay, I don't see or feel like anything's wrong...plus there were some towels nearby I used to dry off, but thanks-- Oh, I haven't asked your name yet! What's your name?

Mm, yeah, I remember you were going to give a concert one night... I wanted to go, but then it was canceled.

I'm Minako, by the way, Minako Arisato. You've probably got a bunch of questions, even if you don't need towels or anything, so feel free to ask.

[It seems so long ago now that the Coral had brought Rise to Vatheon. So long ago that perhaps the only thing Yukari remembers is her idol personality, rather than anything else they did together. She remembers the snowball fight, getting hot chocolate together...

But none of it matters now. She knows it's time to start over, and if she has to, she may as well do it with a smile.]

Hey... uh, you're in Vatheon at the moment! [Which is not too exciting, but she'll try to make it sound so regardless.] Are you all right?

Yeah, I've been told it's called that. I don't know any place called Vatheon, though, so the name doesn't help me that much...and some people are saying it's another world entirely or something? It's all really weird.

But I think I'm fine, thanks! I'm just soaking wet, I'm not sure what I did to get like this.

[...True, the name doesn't exactly help, but she finds it does make you feel a bit better to know it. Information is information, right...?

But anyways, she can agree on that point at least. It is really weird; she's been here for over a year and she still thinks so.]

Well, everyone shows up here like that, so you probably didn't do anything.

You should be able to get a towel from nearby though, for starters.

[And after that, Yukari would be more than happy to answer other questions. Even if it feels a bit weird, the whole welcoming committee thing comes naturally at this point.]

Good, I wouldn't want memory loss on top of all this other confusing stuff going on!

[It didn't take her long to spot out a place with towels, but Rise just stared at them. She was pretty sure some mysterious underwater city didn't accept Japanese currency. Welp.]

So, does that mean the towels are free? 'Cause I'm preeetty positive they won't take what I've got...
Also, thanks for helping me figure my situation out! But what's your name? I sorta forgot to ask earlier.

[Funny that she mentions memory loss when she doesn't remember being here before. Ffff, but Yukari isn't about to bring it up now. At the question, she will just nod, grinning.]

It's Yukari. And don't worry about it! They're not gonna charge you anything.

[There's probably a lot more to say; judging on her name, Rise might be able to tell she's from Japan at least.

But Yukari will leave it at that for now.]

[ another one from back in inaba out of that group of kids. that made what—? two now? he wasn't even currently aware of what point in time she had arrived here from just yet. he'll keep an eye on this post, if only because he's sure hanamura will eventually respond to it— which might help fill him in on what he doesn't know himself. hanamura would undoubtedly also fill her in on the fact that he was in vatheon as well, which would spare him any possible messy arguments via the network; not to mention he'd likely relay everything adachi had told him to her, so all in all it wasn't something he had to worry too much over sans another thorn in his side.

either way, it'd be a bad idea to respond to this blindly. so he won't. ]

[Wow Adachi nobody invited you anyway

gdiaf kthnx]
