[The image settles on a girl who looks about fifteen with brown hair that falls around her face easily. She's staring at the camera which is her phone before her eyes go round in shock.]

Oh my god it actually worked!

[Glancing around her room quickly, she makes sure her door is shut. It looks like her room. A few trophies sit on the wall behind her, a small window open to the outside with yellow curtains fluttering the breeze.]

So this- this is really happening huh? The numbers and weird memories? Well- [She takes a breath and waves.]

Um... hi?

[When Suzaku makes an appearance, he's not wearing any strange must-be-cosplay this time. He's standing some distance away, apparently using a tv as his screen]

From what I've read, I gather some people might need to make other living arrangements.

[He pauses as though this conveys his entire message. Of course, it doesn't. As much as he's thought about addressing this matter, he's still having trouble articulating it. It's a visible struggle, coupled with a lengthy bout of silence, and then he presses on]

My godfather owns this property [He gestures to what appears to be an impressive space] but he's away on business. Likely for a long time. Because of my deployment, I'm still here.

Since that's the case, there's no need to worry about endangering someone who isn't involved.

[A pause again. He's really not good at this]

If it happens that someone needs a place to stay, it should be fine. Just don't make a mess. I'm keeping his house exactly the way he left it.

[ooc: Subseqent to that, Suzaku accesses the network from screens and windows, giving a real scope of the house. For reference, this is his residence]

( TEXTED )

A while ago, I got back a laser sword.

[ PICTURED: A LASER SWORD. Steely-white hilt, pink blade. Robot not included (for now). ]

I've only used it twice since the echo, three times if you count taking that picture. But it's not as intense as it was when it first appeared. It might have to recharge, but I don't know how, or what it's even made of. It left some scorch marks on stone, but I think that it's really meant for cutting into other robots cockpits metals.

...I need to know what to do with it before it goes out for good.

[ DON'T SUGGEST AN APPLE STORE ]

I'll be out all day, so if anyone has the time to take a look at it, I can come to you.

( a bunch of open action options! )

[...hello again, network! Here's someone you haven't seen around in nearly a month. But he's back! And--looking somewhat grumpy and ruffled, but not as much as one would expect for someone fully aware of the craziness that's been going on. Mostly because he isn't. Not beyond the lies and half-truths that have been on the news.]

...I am never ever going out of town without a shit ton of backup plans for getting home again. One week. I was supposed to be gone for one week. Finally ended up taking a bus back because the weather's got everything grounded back there for now... M'definitely gonna get stuck with all the worst shifts for Thanksgiving and Christmas, ugh...

I take back everything bad I've ever said about airplane bathrooms, for the record. Just. Putting that out there.

[...okay, serious time, for real. He exhales quietly, a hand carding through his hair.]

So. I'm guessing from all the stuff I've been hearing in the news that I missed some shit. Is everyone alright? If someone could fill me in on the last three weeks or so, that'd be great.

[Well, this was unusual, a network post from Luci in the middle of the day. It seemed that the blond was texting either in-between classes or during lunch.]

To those people who talked to me Sunday, I apologize but I'll be off the grid for a while. I know I'm just trying to get things started, so I'm sorry. Feel free to keep up on what we talked about, but hold on to it for now. Or if someone else wants to take charge for the time being, that works too.

Sorry.

If you need me, send me a note. I might be able to get back to you.

[The message abruptly ends.]


[For those people who follow Twitter, the network's own Zelos Wilder has been getting a bit of traffic of late, and the publicity isn't good. Some people are alleging that he may be having a romance with an underage student--a Starling-Chandler student, to boot. There have been photos that have surfaced, taken about two weeks ago, of him in the company of a certain blond. Whoever was taking the photos was definitely amateur, so it's a little hard to make her out--hence why her name has yet to go public--but the intent is certainly implied; there are a few images of them walking in, leaning in close over a table, then a series of somewhat rushed photos of Zelos grabbing her hand and pulling her out of her chair and out of the cafe in a rush.

Most of the ire has been directed at Zelos himself, suggesting that either the outing was a publicity stunt to promote the collaboration between Starlit and Starling-Chandler on a future performance, but there are others that believe that itself is hiding a bigger scandal: Zelos' sudden interest in a high school aged lady. There are a few names that have possibly been tied to the "lucky" lady, and the name Lucianna Edwards does come up as a front-runner. Nothing has been confirmed yet, however.]


[Action]

[Should anyone be around the Starling campus after school, they'll notice a person draw a hood up over her head, then start walking very quickly, head down. She passes by a few of her fellow students, and a few words are exchanged; despite this, Luci keeps walking, perhaps a little quicker than she was before. Her posture is stiff, uncomfortable, and a bit shrunken, as she passes through the gates and continues on her way.]

Entry #A-1: "A" [Text]

[dead_black_eyes]

[It's his first time posting to the network, and he doesn't realize it yet. Because he has taken out a clean sheet of paper, titled it a number that is almost as comforting as his birthdate as a working title, and has begun draft 18 of Chapter 9 of his detective novel's sequel.]

"But, Jonathan," she whispered, leaning close and hugging embracing him happily like she never wanted to let go. "I don't want you to leave. It's too dangerous.

He didn't care about the danger, but he cared about Joann Sophie Florence Abigail Esmeralda Marie.

"I love you," Marie said, sincerely like she meant it lovingly.

"I

[At this point, the struggling unpublished mystery writer scribbles to vent some frustration.]

Okay, sooo...here's an update, I guess? Uh, a few days ago we went on a trip down under the Tuning Towers. We didn't really find much in the sewers around there or anything, but we did find something a long way under the towers. It's like a mile underground just...buried in the dirt.

It's this...big pink rock--but it's also moving too, somehow. Just on its own. The buzzing is also really loud right next to it, like it's actually painful to be next to it, so.

We still don't know anything about what's in the Towers. But uh...we might have finally found where the buzzing is coming from.

He's still down there. Nothing's changing.

This Saturday. 6pm. Let's do this thing.

Try to talk to him first. See what we can find out. A fight's not going to go well if those snakes wake up, so we have to be careful.

Who's in?



[[Private to Lyall]]

Up for some diplomacy?

You might be looking at the new mortuary assistant for Locke City morgue, if all goes well, numbers club.

[yeah, Brooke seems pretty pleased with things. she's dressing casual today, which mostly just means no tie and unbuttoned shirt cuffs.]

I know, I know, the network is not my blog, but I've got news. I just applied for an open position working for the city morgue. It pays a lot better and I'll have a lot more records to access. It's also higher profile and a lot more official than my current job, so, uh, that's not great news for my social life. But I might be able to help us all out a lot more when it comes to gathering information, and that's kind of awesome.

I also echoed back some more powers, so if anybody needs help... I don't know, moving boulders around or something, feel free to give me a call. [she moves her right hand up, twisting her wrist in a "whatever" gesture.] And if anyone in the city asks, this is a prosthetic. A really, really good prosthetic.

[after a moment's pause, she holds up a golden trophy.]

Oh yeah, and I guess the person I used to be was really good at pizza. I'm gonna take this as a sign and order one. Any pizza is a personal pizza if you try hard enough.

*Kari twirls one of those pearl-cage necklaces around her finger; the pearl it came with has been replaced by her purple one.*

I remembered something and I don't know if any of you can assist, but I may as well ask. I don't think anyone's had any of my own memories, one or two possibilities aside, but it's good for everyone to keep aware of each other's Echoes. Especially since it tends to give more to others from the same -- group, let's say.

Do any of you remember a sunken castle? Or just an extremely purple castle. I had another memory after that sewer expedition, and this time my castle must not have been underwater, because we had working fountains.

...Unless you can have those underwater somehow. Scientists?

Another thing. Does anybody remember seeing people who weren't really there?
