[it's either very late at night or very early in the morning depending on how you look at things. shou - as usual - is up because either he didn't got to bed yet, or he just decided not to sleep and instead work out. For now, he has a pressing matter to get off his mind since that incident with Wise Snake.]

Since we're sharing and asking if everyone's fine, I figured I'll join in.

I'm fine. My car is not. My horse is fine too and she got some extra treats for her troubles.

Shawarma is the best after a battle food outside of pizza but pizza was three blocks away and I didn't want to walk that far.

Oh. And I guess my other was married.

[This is not good, not good at all, where's that phone, numbers, numbers...]

...noohnoohno. [Deep breath, as Fred tries to pull himself together. Ought to sound at least a little coherent.]

A while back I Pulsed a cat and now it's turned into a... [he hesitates; he's pretty sure it's the right word, but this is the first time a pulse-memory and something else have matched up like this] ... a Djinni, it doesn't really look like any one thing, it's got a fish tail and a lot of spikes and I'm not sure it's even got a mouth. And I have no idea how I'd hide it from my dad and sister, a cat hanging around was one thing even with his allergies but this is going to be noticed, especially after those interviews...

[He gulps a breath, then is silent for a few seconds. Finally:]

...What do I say?

[When you thought you'd be able to stay under the radar, and then you can't...]

Action, whenever school is back in session.

Because of a certain clip that kept airing on the news, Marisa had gone from "That one weird girl in my class" to something of a celebrity at school. At first she enjoyed the attention, but as she realized it involved lots of people being afraid to talk to her it quickly started to wear thin. As she toddled down the halls on crutches, some people just stared, lots whispered "Wasn't she on TV?" or the like, some looked nervous. At first she tried actually answering questions, usually with snarky non-answers. After the fifth person asked her why she was walking on crutches when she could fly, anonymously shouted from the crowd in the halls rather than to her face, Marisa heaved a sigh. They wanted a show, she'd give them a fucking show.

She stopped on her way to AP calculus, closed her eyes, then hovered about a foot into the air. As the crowds in the hall parted before her in surprise and silence, she drifted on towards class.

Of course, after the initial surprise wore off this only made the attention worse. At least she didn't have to get around on crutches anymore.

Hey, hooray we did it, we beat the thing at the farmhouse and a big pink snake monster in one day. [For someone who's talking about victories, he sure sounds pretty unenthusiastic about it. Deadpan even.

Hey, who is this anyway? A new-- oh no wait, it's that "Raven" kid. His voice is significantly deeper though, which is a strange thing if you talked to him just the day before, in the battles at the farmhouse or business district-- or if you even know him from the local high school, or just plain know him for some reason-- because he had your typical pre-pubescent boy voice.]

Just. Well... Ugh.

Is there a doctor who can magic away muscle aches and pains? I don't have like serious wounds or anything, but physical exertion isn't my thing and I'm definitely paying for it now because I overdid it yesterday. Or should I stuff myself full of painkillers and hope for the best? [HOPE HURR HURR If his past-life buds make a pun about that he's going to make his dog fart on their faces.]

Is there school? I don't know, I just woke up-- definitely not going though. Is LCHS even still standing, or did something else happen in the city while I was sleeping? I hope nothing happened, I've got important stuff in my locker.

[Pause. His mother is talking to him in the background, but he has his hand over the smartphone mic so her words cant be heard. The kid though, he can definitely be heard saying "OH THANK G... bwuh-- I'M NOT ON TV". Loudly.]

i'm looking for a lot of people and i know a lot of you guys are too
maybe instead of jacking up the network with a thousand I'M HERE DON'T WORRY posts we could try
keeping them all in the same post or something idk
maybe make a check in??
make it so even if you haven't seen someone and they're not answering messages someone else can say they have and we can try and figure out where they went from there
idk
i know a lot of us are trying to stay hidden so it's probably not gonna help if we start putting up descriptions of ourselves but it's kind of an emergency? maybe we could just use our numbers instead idk

22 | [Voice] Post-Snake Recovery

[chalicejoker]

I only slept two hours after yesterday. Two hours, after spending the whole day fighting. It's the tenth, right? I didn't just sleep through Monday without realizing it?

[Hajime sounds pretty worn out. The Lord of the Bugmen had a very long day after fighting Wise Snake, and he is blissfully unaware that his TV interview has been airing all over the place.]

Everyone's in one piece? Let me know if you need a good meal after everything that happened; I can work something out.

[He gives a long sigh. It would be even longer if he realized that the interview had actually aired.]

And if anyone's got any advice on dealing with your family suddenly finding out about this, that would be helpful. I think I'd rather fight snakes again…

[Private text to Jackson Isaka]
Mitsuko knows.

I don't know what to do.

--Did I get it? Yes, finally, must've tried typing them five times.....

[Ahem. Right, he finally typed the numbers correctly, so people can hear him now. Onto business. There's no video when he posts this time, which may be of concern to some, but at least he doesn't sound too poorly off when he speaks. Tired, sure, but no worse off than anyone else.]

Hey, this is Kotetsu. Checking in.

[Beat.]

Like I said last time with the earthquake, if anyone's place got wrecked or needs somewhere to stay for any reason right now, I've got room. You don't need to worry about paying me or owing me or anything, just. Don't want anyone on the streets right now, if I can help it.

[The snake might be dead, but who knows what might happen in the next couple of days? Better to be safe than sorry.]

No strings attached, I promise.

Take care, you guys. Stay safe.

[[Much, much later that night. Like 3:45 am late.]]

[It's been a long, long day at the police station, and the press hadn't been helping things along. Melissa's usually good at dealing with public relations problems, but this... this one threw her.]

So who thought it would be funny to tell the press there's a sex scandal going on in the police department?

[yeah guess who everyone now suspects of this. luckily for whoever it is, melissa is more exhausted than angry.]

What do you think the percentage chance is that some of us are going to wind up in government basements getting experimented on?

I really want to know, I have to place my bets here and decide if I'm going to tell my mom about all this.

[There is one other thing she has to do though, and it's very important.

Very, very important.]

[Private to Marina; Audio]

I wanted to ask you a question. Can you meet me at [cafe] tonight?

[Video / Computer]

[triggerhappytraitor]

[[Oh hey look, it's that clueless guy again, looking rather weary and worried. He looks at the screen a moment before sitting down heavily on the edge of his bed, fidgeting with something that looks a bit like a grey box in his hands.]]

I feel like I should apologize to the people I talked with before. I didn't believe that any of this was real, that it was all just a strange chat room, a wrong number full of strange people...

But things keep happening. Horrible feelings, strange things appearing, horrible monsters...

[[He takes a deep breath before he looks up at the monitor]]

How can I protect my family, my children from this? What can I do?

[ There's some sighing and shuffling, and when she finally talks, it's a bit quiet - even if her parents know that she was out there doing SOMETHING. ]

First... just in case anyone didn't find out, I'm in one piece. I don't... want to say that I'm fine. It was rough, and my dad's in the hospital - he'll live - but he was downtown when it happened. So that was a little intense.

...I don't think anyone saw me doing magic on camera, but apparently my sister saw me fighting with my sword, and... I dunno if I'm gonna be allowed to leave the house for a few days. My parents are worried, and asking a lot of questions, and I'm not sure what answers I can give.

But it looks like all of us are alive? I think so, from what I've heard, and... it's relieving... I mean, people were hurt, killed, but I've gotten really used to all of you.

So take care of yourselves. Even the ones I don't like.

[ Another sigh. She sounds more tired towards the end, voice shaking as she sighs. ]
