| [the video feed comes on, with a shake and a start... as if somebody were stepping on the controls. Eventually, it pans back, showing... well, showing what appears to be some sort of wild ass] ... Who the hell is responsible for this?! [yes, that's Masaru's voice coming out of it]SERIOUSLY, WHEN I FIND OUT WHOSE IDEA THIS WAS, I'M GOING TO PUNCH THEM INTO THE GOD DAMN SKY! ... wait, I can't punch anybody like this...... FINE THEN, I'LL KICK THEIR ASSES! I WILL LITERALLY KICK THEIR ASSES![interesting word play there, Masaru] |
|
| [the feed comes on, showing Masaru sitting in his room]I've been doing a lot of thinkin'. Yeah, I know, ha ha, "I don't do that very often." I've heard it before. But I'm kinda tired of sitting around on my butt. I need to do something. Get involved. So I've been talking to Rin... and he and I got an idea. So I'm gonna start offering self defense classes, if enough people get interested. I can't exactly teach anyone a fighting style, but I can help people make sure they're ready to fight back the next time all hell breaks loose. Nothing's set in stone, aside from Rin saying he'll give me some space. I need to know if anyone's willing to sign up... if we get enough people, we'll go from there. ... That's all I got. Hope to hear from you guys! [feed cuts out] |

| [A hand fumbles over the SFC, activating the video by accident. The communicator is lifted, the camera soon focusing on the bleary face of its owner as he tries to discern just what time it is. It’s Yukio, only something’s different... and it’s not just his missing glasses.
Accompanying the three moles he normally has, at least a dozen more have been added with what’s pretty obviously some sort of magic marker. A few of them have even been used to play connect-the-dots, forming a crooked little smiley face on one cheek. Topping it all off is some chickenscratch hiragana on his forehead that, for those familiar with the language, reads “moley four eyes”.
Yukio, oblivious to the recording camera and the new additions to his face, squints down at the device for a few moments before setting it aside, leaving it to record the ceiling of his bedroom while he grabs his glasses and slowly shuffles to the bathroom. Everything is quiet for about thirty seconds... until a short yelp of horror rips through the silence, followed by what might be the sound of one teenaged exorcist stumbling backward through a shower curtain before falling into an empty bathtub.

NIISAN!
[Yep, best way to wake up from a coma.]
[ooc: Villa residents are free to action it up if they’d like~] |

| Oh hey! I just remembered!
Rin, Maka! Happy anniversary, you two! And I guess Kid too, but I dunno if he counts... I mean he counts but that didn't really work into things until later and...
...
Yeah. Just.
Happy anniversary, guys! |

| [the screen comes on... and it shows a shivering Daimon Masaru, whose trying to make his digi-soul flare up around his whole body]
VATHEON! WE DON'T HAVE TO LET THIS STUPID COLD BEAT US!
DIG DEEP, AND TAP INTO THE BURNING SOUL WITHIN! LET YOUR SPIRIT HEAT YOU UP!
[his Digi-Soul flickers and starts to ebb a bit]
J-Just reach deep down and find that inner fire!
A-Any moment now!
...
I think I seriously need help....
[and yeaaaah, the Digi-Soul is just going to snuff out completely now] |

| --that's video. [A certain fluffy haired Pokemon enthusiast is pointing at something on the screen of a new arrival's SFC. He's behind said new arrival, visible behind a mass of equally fluffy brown hair. Apparently he's giving a lesson on how the SFC works and doesn't realize that his point actually prodded the button hard enough to start recording.]Oh ... okay. So when you press that button, the camera feed goes right to a network that everyone here can see? This thing is kind of like a more public Xtransceiver ... [ The new arrival in question was staring at the SFC with this look of fascination on her face. It wasn't hard to get a handle on, she was just learning quite a bit all in the span of the few hours she had been here. On top of other things.. ] Something like that. There's voice mail to talk to people directly. [There's an awkward pause from N, but he adds:] You can contact me directly with it, if you want...Really? So I guess ... um. [ She looks over the device and points to a button ] Is that how I go to contacts or something? Yes, that's right. You're getting the hang of it. [He doesn't really smile, but he seems... almost content with the current situation. Odd, for anyone who's gotten to know him in the past couple of months.
He blinks twice, though, and gestures at the SFC again.] It turned on.[ She looks up at him, then back to the SFC, and blinks a few times. ] ... It did? [ She looks a little closer. ] How can you tell? The light is on. That little red one right there. It's not easy to see..... Oh! I see it now. Yeah, it's on ... [ URP. ] How long has it been on? [ CRAP THIS IS AWKWARD. ] We should say hello or something, right? Zoroark took my SFC away from me the first time it turned on accidentally. He thought it would make me help him look for food. [N what does that have to do with anything Hilda just asked?] ... you can introduce yourself. I think that's customary..... That sounds like Zoroark. [ She's not sure what that has to do with anything but it's a cute story at least? Hilda looks back to the SFC feed and raises her free hand in an awkward wave.] Um ... hi? I'm Hilda? Hilda is a trainer from Unova. [Thank you for that stellar introduction you two.] ... she's a... friend. [... even better.][ She kinda awkwardly points to N. ] I was looking for him. Ah-- Before I came here. [ No, Hilda, that doesn't sound creepy at all ... she hides her face a little at that realization. ] I swear that sounded less creepy in my head.... that sounded creepy? [And N is forever oblivious. Does he even know what being creepy entails?] You should... say something else. Or turn it off. Other people can respond to you, though.M'Gonna turn it off now. I push this button again, right? [ And with that, the button is pressed, and the feed turns off! ]( ooc: Joint post between N and Hilda! As such it should be noted that both N ( unwrittenformula) and Hilda ( ourlegends) will be responding to comments in this post! ) |

| [It's late. Or too damn early. Somewhere in that ambiguous area, like 3:00 in the morning, just fine for certain parts of the alien population and a god-awful time for the rest. But here Kid is, addressing the network from the confines of a room in the island-side village.
One can just make out a few figures (Maka Albarn and Rin Okumura) behind him, sound asleep in their bed.]I have a very important announcement to make, one that simply cannot wait until morning! [The grim reaper, looking more lively than he has since... well, since the bubble cracked, stoops out of sight of the SFC, and reappears with an Umbreon in his arms. Beaming with the pride perhaps only a father might have for their child, he declares:]This is Pip, and he's become even more beautiful than ever! [It is indeed Pip, recently evolved, and he is still fat. He is also a she, but Kid never investigated that closely. Promptly forgetting about the SFC in his eagerness, Kid retreats with Pip in his arms to bend over Maka.]Maka, Maka! Wake up! I don't want you to miss this! |

| Wait, hold up.
I had a tail this past curse. A tail. A fluffy, fuzzy, fun little tail.
... And I didn't have the emotional capacity to do anything with it?! Unfair!
By the way, Rin, I'm getting you back for all the times you bapped me on the nose with my tail while I was out of it.
[ She points at the SFC window. ]
You have been warned.
[ She sighs, then smiles again, though it's a bit sheepish. ]
So, ah ... I guess I haven't exactly been myself for the past few weeks. I'm sorry I was so moody, to anyone I actually talked to while like that.
That said, I'm doing a lot better. How are you doing, Vatheon? |

| [an SFC just comes on, in the middle of... what looks like a yellow-orange dinosaur smacking his head against the screen]
I don't understand this! What's going on?! Why can't I get in Aniki's digivice...?! And why does it look so weird?!
[the screen moves back, giving the viewer a look at the place he's in... Villa residents would recognize it as Masaru's very messy room, with said individual laying asleep and sprawled out on his bed]
Aniki! Please wake up! I don't understand what's going on! How did we even get here anyway?!
((For the curse, Masaru has regained Agumon. Except... he hasn't woken up quite yet, either, so he doesn't know it. Additionally, Masaru has lost his skill and knowledge of how to fight, but it'll take a bit for him to figure that out. But for now, enjoy this very confused digimon :) )) |

| [The broadcast gets a noisy start right off the bat. Whatever is happening, Rin is apparently in a panic and has knocked his SFC and several other things off the end table in his flailing. The crash of things hitting the ground is followed by a frantic yell.]
--n't see! MAKA! DAD?! Fuck--!
[Even being "blinded" (he's not, he just hasn't figured out that the little spots of light he's seeing amongst the darkness is actually soul perception) he tries to get up, but as the SFC shows, those items that he knocked off the end table are perfectly placed to trip him up in his current state. There's a loud cry for him as he goes crashing to the ground, still dressed in a tee-shirt and sweatpants since he just woke up to this nonsense.
He gropes about until his hand finally covers the SFC, blacking it out for a minute until he can get it facing forward. His eyes look a little strange - still blue but with the pupils sort of dilated in an unnatural state. They dart around frantically, though he really can't see anything except for those glowing lights that seem to be all over the place for him.]
I can't-- ... I hope this thing is on 'cause... w-well I'unno what's happenin', I'unno what I did wrong but I can't see! There's just... lights...
[Yeah, he's properly panicking. This isn't good. Being blinded is a punishment, isn't it?! He has no idea if his SFC is even recording so he just gives it up, getting to his feet with it still in his hands. Even blinded he's going to attempt to walk through the Villa, hoping to find somebody that can help him.]
Kid?! Yukio?! Somebody, help me please...
