| [Through luck, Shinjiro had managed to find out it was a certain someone's birthday. Birthdays have never really been important to him. He's been poor all of his life, living off of what the government and eventually part-time jobs provided him. He and his best friend would get cake when they were younger, but that was about it. The one time he tried to change that...well, he'd approached it the wrong way through thievery (and was promptly punished for doing so by his best friend).
Things are a little different here in Vatheon. He can help make her day special without digging into his pocket. But since money isn't an issue, choosing the right gift is.
Now he must reach out. Text was a good way not to get too social with a person, so he thought.]
what's a good birthday gift for a girl? |

| ...taking the "sea of my soul" thing a bit too literally, isn't it...?
[Someone is fiddling experimentally with the SFC, although she doesn't seem to realize immediately that she's succeeded in activating it. Instead, Minako holds it up in front of her to study it thoughtfully, with several hairpins sticking out of the corner of her mouth and a towel draped over her damp and tousled hair, looking back and forth between the SFC and something a bit to the side of it that she seems to be holding up in her other hand.
Then abruptly she brightens.]
Ah, it's doing something!
[The hand that's not holding the SFC quickly drops - there's a brief flash of a blue key in it before she stuffs that into a pocket to free up a hand long enough to get the hairpins out of her mouth.]
Igor? Theo?
[A beat, and then a shake of her head and a rueful smile.] --as though they'd use something like this when he can just call my phone whenever he wants.
[She sighs a little, still wearing that lopsided smile, and begins looking around her again.]
It'd be nice to hear someone's voice, though... |

| [There is a new arrival who has been actually quite quiet since she arrived, having found her way (while still dripping wet) to the Welcoming Committee building. And having gotten all the information she could from there?
Has been sitting outside it for the majority of the day before she actually uses her SFC to address all you folks out there.]
Ah, hello? [She sounds, and looks, normal. Or as normal as a teenaged Japanese girl can look while being inside a bubble under the sea]
Oh, it works, I think? Anyway... My name is Asakura Ryoko and I am very sure I am new here, since the last thing I remember is well...
Dying!
[How she says that last word is maybe just a little off putting, since she's completely and totally cheerful about it.]
Well, other than that it's a pleasure to meet anyone who is watching this. |

[Action]
[He'd chased Vriska out of the house to finish up on some last things, despite how warm and dizzy he feels. Now that it's all done with, he pushes himself up onto his feet- only to stop as the world spins and he wobbles in place for a bit. He squeezes his eyes shut until the feeling mostly passes except for his stomach, and then he goes to the door. The whole world feels like it's going to push out from under his feet, but he just leans against the doorway.]
Vriska? |

| It seems as if we have members of Strega in our midst here in Vatheon. You are not allowed to engage them under any circumstances. If you are caught in a situation with them, retreat. We do not know the effect of coral upon Personas, much less their own considering their need for suppressants.
Thus it is unwise to engage in combat. This is a time to reign in our feelings and not allow them the upper hand.
[There's a pause here as Mitsuru considers ending the transmission. At first she sounded business like and unamused, but her voice gains a softer tone and is almost fond.]
It seems that I fell asleep for longer than anticipated, and some of us have returned to our midst. If you could make yourselves known to me, then I would appreciate it. |

| Huh. Wasn't expecting that.
[She's walking, carefully, though. She was walking back to her apartment when the power went out, so she's going to be...very careful indeed.]
Tryin' to scare us again or something? [A beat.] I wonder if there's gonna be another body after everything's back up again.
[This has been Morbid Hour with Kyouko. Tune in next week--] |

| [Well, this is supposed to be a video. Supposed to be. Except that it's utterly pitch dark.
There's a lot of rustling and silence, but soon enough a very frightened voice comes out from the darkness.]
... he... hello... ? Is it working... please be working... I--... the power went out and...
... I'm trapped in the elevator...
I... it's at the bottom, however... the doors seem to be stuck and refuse to open...
[Poor Ioder. He's not normally afraid of the dark, but this is a terribly frightening situation to wind up in.]

[Sorry about the forward dating, tomorrow is going to be really hectic and I am setting up a plot, so I wanted to jump on it early
Edit: Argh, fixed his quirk because I forgot that wasn't until Friday :P] |

| [Waking up soaking wet? Check. Waking up someplace he's never seen before? Also check. What the hell even is this starfish thing? Triple check. One very annoyed and also still hung over English vampire? Yup, all yours Vatheon, aren't you all lucky. He also hasn't noticed the mark yet, but you'll all be hearing about that when he does, of course.]
What the bloody hell is going on?
[He's not sure what he's annoyed about more. Being soaking wet-because ugh, his coat-or the fact that he has no idea where he is. He was supposed to be on his way to win back Drusilla, dammit.]
Someone better have answers. Now.
[Yeah, he...he doesn't ask when he's in a bad mood. He demands. Well...he usually demands anyway even if he's not in a bad mood.]

| [The feed opens with Tatsumi looking thoughtful and worried.]What should you do when you know you did something you shouldn't have? Except that I'm not sure if it was a mistake or a perfect moment. [Sighs.]Either way, that event seems to have caused pain for someone I care for. I want him to be happy, but I am not quite sure if I am the right person for him... I have... trouble... getting close to someone... It seems no matter what I do, I always end up hurting the ones I love... [ P R I V A T E to William ]Have you ever been in a situation like this before? [He needs some reassurance from his line-face bro.][The feed cuts off after that.]
OOC: All of this mess happened a little visit to the ice cream shop. Tsuzuki is the affected half. |
