[ Hey. Linda's using video this time! This is pretty weird, unless you're one of the few people who've actually talked to her with video before. Most of the time she just does text. ]

Okay. I've been sitting on this for about a week, because I was hoping that staring at it long enough would make me suddenly realize what this thing is. But I'm not having any luck, so...

[ She holds up a necklace that's mostly a red jewel on a chain, shifting it around a bit to make sure that most of it is in the view of her webcam. ]

Does this thing look familiar to anyone on here? Because I keep staring at it and I'm drawing a blank, but I got it back during that pulsing, so... [ It's obviously important, which is why Linda's keeping it with her instead of just sticking it in her drawer and forgetting about it. Though speaking of pulses...]

Also, speaking of pulses, has anyone else gotten a skill that they completely sucked at before the pulse? I used to be terrible at singing, but ever since that light a week ago I've suddenly been able to sing... well, not amazingly, but way better than just decent.

It really feels, well, weird. Like some sort of law of physics has been broken or something. I mean, I know the weird part is normal for everyone, but for some reason this seems weirder to me than, I don't know, suddenly getting green skin would've. At least I would've been expecting something like that, after some of the other stuff I've heard about here.

So yeah, how many of us got 'simple mundane skill we sucked at before' instead of a superpower from these things?

[Raye's been absent from school for the past couple of days and anybody who knows her usual haunts would have noticed she's been gone from them as well. As soon as she shows up on video the reason becomes apparent. She looks like somebody who lost a fight with a truck. There's a few day old fading bruises, scrapes and at least one bandaid on her cheek just under her left eye.]

Hey, so, uh, good news I figured out that shit with my superpowers so back to normal there. Bad news is I kinda broke part of the Dead District.

[She doesn't seem that worried about it though as she reaches over to retrieve... a lemon and takes a bite right out of it, skin and all, and chews away without giving a single fuck. This next part was the tough bit.]

Anyway, I'm back to full power and everything but I figure I could use some practice. So, if there's anybody out there who knows swordfighting and shit, let me know.

[She pauses for a second, like she wants to say something else to someone in particular then just makes a quiet noise and switches the video off.]

So the "lights" -- which aren't just lights, by the way; they're people if you stay around them long enough -- that some of us have seen in the blackouts. Anybody else been seeing them pretty much everywhere, whether there's a blackout or not?

[He's got a decent idea of what they might be. But seeing whether everyone else notices them wherever they are could confirm it for him.]

Current Mood: curious

Who: Jasmine, Lily, Winter [open]
What: Night of Darkness
Where: Tsukuyomi residence, outside in the city
When: June 11th

( It had been an experience hurrying home in blackness. )

----

( Later into the night there is a black haired young woman dressed entirely in black and with a bat-like wing flying around. Yeah, that's not going to freak people out. )

[ooc: the first description is just for Lily and Winter, but the second one is free. Just have your character be anywhere and Jasmine can come upon you. :) I'm looking to try and thread with more people so I'm open to anything]

peacefulwinter

[Monday afternoon. Winter's on the screen, looking better than before but still not 100%. This... isn't her room, though. Where is she...?]

I have... a little bit of a problem. I had a talk with someone a couple of d-days ago, and I'm not sure what to do anymore. There are things I want to do, but I don't want to put... my important people at risk. I've already almost lost someone dear to me because I was careless. I never- [She has to stop for a second; it came out a little too choked for her to continue.] I never want to have to experience that again. But I...

I'm sorry, I'm no-not really making sense. I want us to return to Las Vegas, once everything is said and done. There are still too many people that are going to be at too high of a risk without... someone to help keep them safe. But can I do that? Am I... being too selfish by wanting to go there again? Am I putting them at risk? I know I'm not forcing anyone to go, but... it's so dangerous, just like it was here. I don't know if it's something I can ask anyone to do. But I can't go alone. I'm not strong enough to do anything by myself. I know that, by now. Still... if I don't have to put them in harm's way, I want to. My friends haven't done anything wrong, either - they shouldn't have to pay for my desires.

I don't... I'm not sure what to do. Part of me knows that, sooner or later, someone has to go, and there's no real reason it can't be us. I just don't know if I can r-really ask them to follow me again, after what happened last time. Am I being too selfish? Or am I just overthinking it? Or... mmn.

I guess I'm just not confident about all of this. Not after what happened before. I don't... know what to do.

[After a second, she makes a frustrated sound, before shutting off the feed.]

Guys! Holy crap, check this out, I was just checking out the subreddit about us, and I found out someone drew me! There are people out there seriously drawing fanart of me! I...I don't know exactly what it is, but check this out:

This is the greatest thing I've ever seen in my life.

Hey, yo, 'sup. JoJo here.

[ He waves, also showing off some fancyass leather gloves. Despite his friendly attitude, he looks pale. When he speaks, he’s out of breath. ]

Got some requests for another movie night. [ huff. ] So I’ll play those in a bit. It’ll give you somethin' to watch while waiting for me to show off my new super power. You guys wanna see it? I mean, I think it’s pretty cool.

[ huff puff. He holds up a small, Harlequin Romance novel (The Dare, specifically). He presents the book to the network much like a stage magician presents a new prop... before he starts tearing it to pieces. Each page is torn out and ripped up; not even the cover survives. In the end, there’s a pile of what was formerly a particularly hot, steamy novel. ]

So, I’ll ruin the suspense... I can put it back together. It takes a longass time, but, man, like a phoenix, this crappier Fifty Shades will rise from its higher quality ashes.

[ huff. He takes off his gloves and just shoves a hand into the pile of ripped paper. ]

But, like I said, we’re gonna be here for a few hours. So while we wait, here’s some more movies...

[ huff puff. On the schedule tonight and throughout the next day are a few old Godzilla movies, Wickerman, The Bee Movie, Space Jam again, Birdemic and the sequel, half of Gravity before JoJo half-heartedly apologizes and says it’s too stressful, a Batterman movie, MANOS: THE HANDS OF FATE, White Chicks, and Billy Madison. In the corner of the screen, he’s set up his webcam to focus on the former book throughout the movie marathon. If you’re observant, you might notice the pieces of it slowly pulled together until entire pages are mended. But you've got to be insanely observant—it’s like watching Game of Thrones streamed off particularly slow internet while also running Skype and iTunes simultaneously. A little more obvious is that Jonas passes out halfway through the first movie and doesn't move except to skip Gravity before passing out again.

In the end, the book's back together and it takes an hour or so after the last movie, but JoJo wakes up, looking worse than before. He puts his leather gloves back on, runs his hands through his hair, and offers a sleepy grin. ]

So here's the real question... [ JoJo presents the book to the network again. The text on some of the pages on the inside is missing. He doesn't seem to notice, though. ]

How am I gonna make some big bucks with this power?

alilyinthemoonslight

Who: Lily + various others.
What: Catch-all log thread for this week in which Lily catches up with or runs into people she hasn't seen in months, be it ones she needs to see, wants to see, or would have rather avoided.
Where: Locke City - Most likely the Tsukuyomi residence, school, or in-between. Anywhere else depends on how willing Winter or Jasmine are willing to let her wander off on her own right now. ~~HA.~~
When: Anywhere from June 2nd to June 7th. Or so.
Warnings: ~~Depends on whether or not Amy incites a cat fight.~~ I mean - for now, mentions of injury and bite wounds. ... And probable half-dressed embarrassment.
WHY: Wanted to throw Lily against some people face-to-face now that she's back in town. Ended up realizing this would end up with way too many log threads, so to keep things organized - I made this! This is closed to people I'm grabbing for various threads, but if you wanna annoy her feel free to give me a buzz!
Format: Feel free to ignore however I start anything and roll with whatever format you prefer - I'll match.

( Finals are the easy part of this week. )

[Matt Abbot sits before you today in a spinny desk chair, illuminated by his laptop screen. If you thought Matt couldn’t get dumber, you were wrong. You were very wrong. He is making good on his threats of stupidity so over the top they’re impossible to believe. Today Matt is wearing a surprisingly well made masquerade-style eye mask, black with a diagonal cut of blue over his left eye. And he is also wearing a surprising well made collared cape, black with a blue lining. He is also just wearing generally nice clothing under it because you can totally dress like a supervillain and still be stylish.

He steeples his fingers, a sly(ish) smile on his face.]

Greetings, Numbered. As I have been recently freed from the mortal prison of mandatory education, I am now free to pursue any future I wish. … Until August because I have already paid my tuition deposit.

But until August, Locke City, you are being watched. I will be your worst nightmare. I will be a supervillain the likes of which none of you have ever seen before. Such dastardly deeds as speaking in a fake New Jersey accent, directing tourists to the wrong streets and ripping tags off mattresses will happen on the streets every day for as long as I remain in its borders. I will accomplish all my good deeds by questionable means, causing me to become a terrible menace who will puzzle philosophy majors because no one can tell if I'm actually being a bad person. [He leans back in his chair, doing his best to look mysterious and dangerous.]

My first dastardly deed will be a kidnapping. Next Monday, June 16th, I will be kidnapping one of your number, heroes, and taking him with me to Las Vegas. If you wish to guarantee his safety, there is room for two others to accompany us on our cross-country trip. If you wish to ensure his safe return to New Jersey, then you may contact me and we will discuss plans.

[And with that the video turns off. However, Matt is still going, typing. He’s posting a selfie, too, of him in graduation robes. He’s got the National Honor Society gold graduation stole and everything.]

Graduation’s next weekend, too. My parents and my aunt and uncle are the reason I can take the trip--the car’s a graduation thing. Being serious for a second, though, if you want to come, the car is big enough that it won’t be an awful trip. Leaving the 16th at 8AM. If you’re under 18, I need parental permission. I’ll text you my number.

peacefulwinter

[The Winter on the screen looks... more than a little haggard. There are bags under her bloodshot eyes, and her voice is strained. But... she seems whole, at least. It's extremely late at night, though, isn't it?]

Hi, everyone... we're back. I know it's quite late now, but... we t-took more than a few liberties with the speed limit on the way back. What with finals tomorrow, there's... no room for error. I'm glad we made it back, but... ugh. That drive wiped me out. I- oh, one second. Lily! Here, let me help with that-! [Her voice drops out for a second as she walks away, apparently to help with something; she returns a moment later.] Sorry, it's been a little busy - with how late we got back, we're having to rush just a little bit, and... our week's been a little trying.

Anyway, I wanted to a-ask a question... I've been having a little trouble sleeping lately. Some things happened, and... well. That's n-not really the point, I guess. Does anyone have... any tricks for getting a good night's rest? I haven't really slept in about a week, aside from a nap sometimes. I can't really f-function on that little. So... sorry to ask such a weird question, but I kind of need it. It might be a few minutes before I can get back to people; we need to unpack tonight. I'm n-not sure I'm... going to sleep tonight either, though so, it should be okay. Um, thank you in advance. Good night, everyone.

[The feed clicks off; Winter's attention returns to the group of people she's just finished traveling with, still trying to get their things sorted out and their feelings together. She is... torn whether to return home right away or to stay with Lily and make sure she's all right; she's certain her mother is worried sick, but at the same time she can't get her girlfriend off her mind. So even when she looks like she's paying attention, she's still a little distracted.]

Who: Lily, and anyone who wants to bug her in person that can.
What: Lily trying to put herself back together - and oh, whoops, it's her sister's 18th birthday, too.
When: May 28th, 2014
Where: Marriott villa
Warnings: Memory of a vicious mauling? Probably.
Notes: If anyone here wants to specifically bug Jasmine (

( All things told, Lily was lucky. )

[ He knew something was wrong when Banagher didn't show up at their meeting point before heading to the makeshift hangar together. So when all he got from the younger pilot was a puzzled look after Eugen hunted him down at the university campus, he could literally felt his heart tightened. The realization of what happened hit him in the gut, made worse by the timing it has chosen. After all, he had just recovered from Karl and Melissa's lost of their echoes. Still, the pang of losing a comrade didn't hit with full force until he reached the hangar.

The decidedly emptier hangar was the last straw. Before any of the research team or support staffs could reach him to ask about the missing steed, he had locked himself in the confine of Virtue's cockpit. He stared at the empty spot from Virtue's feed, unable to keep his emotions at bay. So much had happened in the past three months and he had grew closer to Banagher, enough to let the younger pilot into his life without making him earn his trust at months end. Fighting together on the battlefield did that.

He was going to tell Banagher that whatever had been worrying him was over. He wanted to share some detail about his life with the Unicorn pilot that he had came to trust. They were supposed to figure out their Gundams together, find out what's the La+ System was all about.

He won't be able to do so anymore. Not unless Banagher regained his echoes.

And the empty spot where the Unicorn had stood became the catalyst of him crying his eyes out in his own hands. And for once, he was glad no one could hear him.

By the time text message came up on the network, several hours had passed and he's still locked within his cockpit, tired and numb. He needs to break the news to Banagher's friends. It's the least he could do for him, to make his life easier and free from Numbers approaching him any further.

He would protect him, even without the echoes and the Gundam, he would still look out for him. ]

This is Tieria.
Banagher Links... He doesn't remember anymore.
If you're a friend of his, please take note.

(( OOC: If you're a pilot or FBI, approaching him at the hangar is fine! ))

sunshinethatwarmsherup

Okay. So I went ahead and read this thing, so I think I have an okay handle on the basics. Considering, you know, magical network that I can somehow get on by writing a number on a sheet of paper and that makes no sense at all whatsoever.

And then there's whole thing where I'm supposedly going to end up getting superpowers. I mean I saw the news and stuff but I didn't think that it'd be happening to me. But I guess I should ask about more important stuff.

Does anyone have any idea what's going on here in Vegas? Are the police here corrupt like they were in Locke or is something else going on here? Besides what's already been on the news, I mean. Everything that's been going on lately has kinda made me a bit nervous. To, you know, say the biggest understatement ever.

... Anyway, I guess I should at least introduce myself during this, shouldn't I? My name's Linda. It's nice to meet all of you.

[ It would be nicer if, you know, she understood more about what was going on. But that was just going to need time and hopefully she'll get some answers. ]

featherduster

[ Given how much FBI and police blood, sweat, and (mostly) tears went into quelling the vermini outbreak in Locke City, similarly suspicious occurrences in Las Vegas are bound to inflame a few fears, even all the way in New Jersey.

It's how this YouTube video ends up sliding across the FBI's desks this Tuesday morning, not 12 hours after it was filmed and put up. It will probably be going viral shortly. ]

Two very important public service announcements this morning. The first, for those of you in Vegas, is this video.

CW: bunny violence.

[ The following is a shaky phone cam video of a blonde man in a top hat and a glittering, sequined tuxedo. He’s mid-patter, about to set up a card trick, when he suddenly starts to sneeze. He apologizes and tries to blow his nose, except his handkerchiefs keep turning into doves and flying away. Finally, with a look of dawning realization, he sweeps off his top hat (first tipping it to the audience, demonstrating that it’s empty) and theatrically reaches into it.

“Why, it’s as I suspected! You see, I’m terrrrrribly allergic to — AAAAAAAA!”

He yanks his hand out of the hat, hurling it to the ground. Something white flies out of it and attaches itself to the man’s throat, bowling him over. There’s blood everywhere, the man is still shrieking, and at this point the video gets too shaky to see clearly, one hopes because the particular audience member doing the filming is too horrified to continue, but actually it’s because he (along with the rest of the crowd) is laughing too hard. ]

I know the cops aren't exactly our favorites around here, but if you end up running into something you don't think you can handle, call the police. Or animal control or... I dunno, somebody with a net. Personal safety first, secure your own mask before helping others with theirs, etc. etc.

Second public service announcement: be kind to our fluffy animal friends, because they have feelings, too. And also teeth.

[ THAT ONE'S FOR YOU, ALEX I-DON'T-NEED-FLUFFY-DUCKS MERCURE. ]

Oh, and our good friend Mr. Mercure is mostly fine, before you ask. Turns out everything's more dramatic in Vegas.

theearth

Who: Characters picked for encounters with Vermini and anyone accompanying them
What: There are swarms of Vermini in Las Vegas - some have infested and altered animals, and others are simple swarms.
Where: Las Vegas
When: Any time between May 19th and June 4th

[ The Vermini clusters are most commonly spotted near water and large patches of grass, but they have begun spreading out, seemingly on the prowl. As always, non-reincarnates overlook Vermini. These groups of Vermini do not immediately flee when they near a reincarnate, but they are not aggressive until attacked.

As a refresher course: Vermini infested animals appear as real animals with suspiciously humanoid features: birds with teeth, dogs with thumbs, fish with hair, and so on and so forth. If an infested animal is captured, the Vermini will abandon the animal and attempt to flee, turning the animal back to normal. This happens even if the animal has died. Vermini turn into steam when destroyed, and chirp, but do not speak. ]

So, I'm looking to build a computer for the first time. Budget's like $1,000 to start, room for upgrading later would be nice. Someone got a couple of hot builds handy, particularly those I could hit a shop in Locke for?

[Edited in like a minute later]

Not sure how I posted that here after going to a computer chat forum. This whole Numbered thing being, well, number-based is kinda weird sometimes. Even months of using it, you still don't get entirely used to it, honestly.

I guess that's just one of the odd bits of this life.

[Lily doesn't know why she didn't notice it sooner. She should have, shouldn't she? Her mother probably would have on sight, given what was involved. She knew this sort of thing like the back of her hand. Yet... it seemed so obvious now that she'd had some time of being able to sit and think about things, to focus beyond the murder of someone she knew, and beyond her worry for her present loved ones. While she gives Winter a quick heads up before going into this, she then just does it - she wants as many thoughts on all of this as possible.]

I don't know how well it's been covered outside of Las Vegas, but before Angeline's death, there was another murder the week prior. I know it's been mentioned here and there - Dr. Solus did, and I've had a couple discussions since it happened. The Doctor thought it may be connected to supernatural events, and then... Well, I think we all became more than a little distracted by what happened to Angeline.

I've pointed it out to someone else, but... The fact that both bodies wound up in water, and Vermini appear around there should be an obvious enough connection, although with the homicide rate in big cities I can understand why some might still think its a coincidence.

However... In the wound of Frederick Abbott, there was a Heliconia clipping. Angeline was found on a raft made of lobsters and crabs. The Heliconia, in addition to meaning "great returns" - whether or not that has any actual relevance here - is also known as the "lobster-claw."

That's... far, far too much to be a coincidence at this point, isn't it? Given the mysterious circumstances of how Angeline's body just appeared where it did, there is obviously something going on beyond what's normal, even for Vegas. And they're connected.

I'll probably see if there's a way to pass this along to the local police, though I figure the connections have probably already been figured out on their end. It probably won't help them much, but I figure the offer is something, at least. On OUR end, it does raise a question... Beyond anyone targeting us, just who was this Frederick Abbott, and if they are connected... what does that even mean? Washington's on the other end of the country from Locke City. He couldn't have been Numbered. Right?

...I don't know. I don't have anything to offer beyond that. There's way too many connecting threads here, I just wonder if anyone else has any thoughts out there.

peacefulwinter

Who: Winter and her companions
When: May 11, afternoon and evening
Where: Villa Precure
What: Reminiscing about things left behind. And mostly just... taking a breather. (And maybe dinner.)

( She's a little bit homesick, even though almost everything came with her. There are... just a few missing pieces. )

[video (open) | May 12th, morning]

[That leads to a post the next morning; Winter's looking a little sheepish, but her cheer from last night hasn't really worn off yet.]

I made too much macaroni last night... does anyone want some? I don't t-think it'll keep long enough to bring some back to Locke City, but if anyone around here would like some, I don't mind sharing. I'd tell you where to come to, but... I s-suspect everyone already knows. I hope everyone had a good Mother's Day! I would like to hear what everyone did, if you don't mind.

[A pause.] I don't have any new information on our "investigation" just yet... we'll have to do a little more digging, I think. Right now, we're just taking a break, I think. It's been a long couple of weeks, and... even if we haven't found m-much yet, it's still tiring work roaming the city. If anyone knows anything new, I'd like to hear about it, too.

Um, that's everything I wanted to say today... [She waves before she cuts the feed.]

[Today you are graced by yet another glorious view of Matt, today outside. He is sitting on his aunt and uncle's back deck, by the light of a few citronella candles. There is dramatic music playing. He has a handful of index cards, that he flashes at the screen one by one. They read as follows:

So a lot of people have been asking me about Persona and stuff.

I think a lot of you don't believe me.

Those guys suck.

A bunch of you want me to show you, though.

It can't hurt right?

Okay I'm going to give you 30 seconds to walk away because it's disturbing.

No one under 13 OK?

So College got cancelled.

I'm devastated.

Who would cancel a show like that?

What would you have to be smoking?

CULT FOLLOWING.

I think it's been 30 seconds.

Last chance.

And he puts the cards down.]

Seriously, don't blame me if you watch after this. It's kinda dark.

( Cut for Persona 3 summoning )

I can't believe they cancelled it. It was just getting good again.

Look at this:

[ Linked is a story in the Las Vegas Sun about the grisly murder last night. ]

You're morons, all you people in Vegas flaunting your "powers." Go home. You're attracting the wrong sort of attention. Leave entertaining to the professionals.

And don't say anything about me, if anyone asks.

moodkiller

[She'd been lurking the network on and off for a few weeks. Now, she knew a fair amount of what had been happening, but her schoolwork - regrettably - came first. As tantalizing a lead as this network was to the truth, it would be there regardless. But now, she finally had some time between studying and her scattered extracurriculars. Marvelous.

A voice comes across on the network, and it sounds like a teenage girl speaking softly.]

Let's get right to it. My name is Natalie Sherman.

... I have to say, for all I'd heard, I didn't expect to be a part of this. I've done a bit of reading, and this certainly explains a few things - my uncle's arrest, for a start. He was guilty, to put it mildly, so today's verdict is what he deserved. And as for the source of those sex scandal allegations... [her tone changes on that last point, she clearly isn't pleased or comfortable.] I'd like to have a few words with whoever thought that blog was a remotely good idea...

However, I do have a few other questions? Relating to one thing, primarily. I'm going to attach a pair of photos to this post. If anyone recognizes this card, I'd appreciate anything you might be able to tell me.

attached: IMG0145.jpg, IMG0146.jpg

( ooc cut for images )

[two cell phone photos, two sides of a card. it's a little fuzzy, and surrounded by a blue glow. those paying close attention will see what looks like some kind of workbench behind the camera in these shots.]

I know that it's a tarot card - the Wheel of Fortune. But that's all that I know, and it only raises further questions.

Another thing... [she's not even going to bother making this private. she just needs to get his attention, and if she can open a line to anyone else who might know something by calling him out? so much the better.] Matt, I know you're here. You're a little hard to miss. Contact me.

testsonseashells

Hello, all! Dr. Solus, reporting in from Vegas.

Firstly - thanks to efforts of Ms. Tsukuyomi and company, have managed to capture Vermini for study. Unfortunately, organisms died in captivity - [he displays the corpses, trapped in a glass jar] - but was still able to glean useful information.

Spent most of the day examining samples, and have determined so far that Vermini completely foreign to Earth - no known genetic structure, cellular mechanisms all subtly different - suggests entirely different evolutionary history compared to our own. Can still process our food, however.

Secondly - FAQ updated with trials of police officers, alien arrival, and recent murder in Locke. Offered assistance to Detective Strutz, but was refused. May change with time - suspect this murder connected to supernatural events. Should advise me if you feel anything lacking - will add anything else important I missed.

Wish you all luck in your own investigations. Dr. Solus out.

[And then there's a very agitated looking Raye on the network. She brings up the network, pauses, and then hammers out the additional numbers maybe a bit too aggressively. Fuck it, if Lily's gonna know about this then the rest of her team might as well be in the loop as well.]

She's real. She's fucking real!

[Okay, less like a crazy person. Deep breath.]

That girl talking all that shit about pride and whatever. She's the one who keeps showing up in my memories, the one in the white Senketsu.

[Senketsu glances up at that name, managing to look troubled with only one eye to work with, but it really is the only name they have for the other Kamui at the moment.]

I remembered her burning down an entire fucking city and I'm pretty sure she was working with Psycho Clown Bitch too. I dunno what she's up to here, but this could end up going to shit real fast if she's anything like how I remember her.

[Robyn should probably be paying attention in class, but she really can't be bothered with math or anything math related. She's just jotting things down in her notebook to make it look like she's learning something.]

To do list:

1. Find out out what [Insert her number here.] is all about. - Did I have ICQ at some point? I don't remember making an account for it. Are ICQ numbers that long? What the heck would I have used for a password when I made it?

2. Do homework. ...Bleh... D:

2.5. Find something better to do than homework. ...Good idea!

3. Convince dad to buy me a guitar. (If I ask him every day, he'll crack and do it. I know he will)

4. ~~Pick up sunglasses so I don't have to explain the whole eyes changing color thing to dad.~~ No, too obvious. Maybe there's a place in town that sells colored contacts?

5. Ice Cream? This should really be higher up on the list, me. You know better.

6. AUTOGRAPHS! NEED TO GET ALL OF THEM!!!! - TOP PRIORITY This is now number one on the list.
...Maybe number 2, I could really go for some ice cream right about now.

7. Mmmmm.. Cookie Dough... :)

8. Does anyone even use ICQ anymore!?

[The note ends with a doodle of an ice cream cone. It actually looks pretty good.]

[ A drawing is spread across the page under a scrawled purple network number - an image that is unmistakably the final stages of several of the more recognizable Network heroes: an half-colored giant robot (the Dynames, to anyone who might put a name to it), the gathered Precure All-Stars, Alan's titan form and the mysterious Lord of the Bugmen, most notably - against an inked Wise Snake.

There are small studies of the Wise Snake in the corner, and a scrawled scale chart next to it.

After a moment, purple text fills in in some of the empty space: ]

So I guess if I can talk to the real things here, I've gotta ask if drawing you for a charity print is okay, huh?

I'm Steven. I draw comics. If anyone - well, if anyone's interested in an interview, I'm thinking about doing a couple short-comics about the Numbers Club, or more charity prints. We can keep names out of it, if you want. And if you're in this one, and want out... let me know. Fixing the composition'll be a pain in the ass, but it's fine.

[ well hello, reincarnates. he's walking with his phone turned on himself. black and red track suit, shades as usual, earphones popped in. it's early morning, sky's already deep blue... there's a gorgeous building in the background, a hotel probably, palm trees, a few fancy looking parked cars in the area and... a police presence behind him, scouring around the boundary of the hotel grounds. ]

Look like some shit went down. Don't know what- got told to keep it movin'. Whatever, man, I ain't gettin' myself into any trouble with the cops in Vegas. Didn't think I'd see anythin' while out runnin' though-

[ he gets cut off by one of the cops yelling at him. he slows down and looks back to them. ]

'Scuse me, a man can't facechat? ... yeah, whatever, I ain't interested in your shit. ...does it look like I'm doin' it for the vine?? Jesus, Mary, and Joseph... yeah, you tell yourself that, man. I'm goin'.

[ whatever the cop was saying, the phone didn't pick it up. miles looks back into the phone and picks up the pace again. ]

So yeah, fuckin' whatever. Good mornin' from sunny Las Vegas.

When: April 20, at various times

( Let's put everything else aside and pretend to be normal for just one day. )

So, let's talk a bit more specifically about something.

Vermini.

They're here in Vegas, as I've mentioned previously. We know the sorts of things this has led to in the past. Thus, it's reasonable that we work on tracking them. Seeing if there's anything about them here we can turn up. With a smaller search area than Locke City, this seems reasonable.

They weren't... handled by the aliens like everything else in Locke was, but that also may make some sense if only we are capable of seeing them. Perhaps this is something left over from what "Tiny" did, or maybe there's something else going on. Either way... Right now, this what we have to go on.

Obviously, I have friends here - we have a team. But I know there are other people around in Vegas. I want to know if anyone is willing to help us in this.

Further, I know Dr. Solus is interested in obtaining one for study. Banagher mentioned to me that no one was really able to pin one down and capture it before, but... We have a lot more abilities at our disposal now that I hope that can make up the difference. That said, with how fast they flee us upon sight, does anyone have any suggestions REGARDING capturing them? I have a few ideas, but... while our transformed speed and strength can make up for a lot, we'd also be likely to kill them with most of our attacks.

If anyone has any thoughts on them specifically, please... I'd like to hear them out.

( Meanwhile, action. )

[so Russel kind of threw his phone off a 38th story balcony yesterday because he's an idiot.]

Something happened to my phone and I'm pretty sure my parents are going to kill me if I ask them for money to replace it.

Does anyone have a spare lying around from their last upgrade or anything...?

[also Precure villa roommates definitely could've seen him tossing the phone; open to action tags for that.]

thekingofkamenriders

[A video image flicks on, as a confused looking man starts fiddling with it until it looks actually in focus. He clears his throat, then starts to speak.]

Uh, hi. I'm trying to figure this thing out. I've been worried about posting to this thing, but finally realized that it wouldn't go away if I ignored it, so here I am.

[He waves a little bit.]

So, uh...if anyone wants to talk, either about this thing, or about photography, just give me a buzz on here, I guess. Or call me if you know my number. I figure I don't want to give that out just yet...I'm just, kind of new to all this.

[He's actually really friendly, guys! Go talk to him!]

shuffleon

[of course this is text. Paul is a grumpy old fart who doesn't want to do voice or video. plus...most of the people he's talked to have been young enough to be his daughter and he doesn't want to make this weirder than it is.

so, text it is.]

How many of you are from Las Vegas?
Because I can't be the only one who's never been to Locke City before

[ The video is on a laptop camera, of moderate quality, with Marina sitting in a chair looking into it, annoyed. Behind her, the bed is somewhat visible, and on it is the edge of some armor, just the armor portions, fairly lacking in actual coverage. Sure, the armor's magical, and Marina's well aware that they all survived some shit that was pretty bull, but... with this? ]

So, who here knows much about armor? I've got this little... breastplate and shoulder armor combo thing here, and it's not much but I don't even know how to put this shit on. Like, it got magicked onto me in the past, and it's not doing that now, so I'm trying to figure out how to do that, and if it's even worth it.

It doesn't look very comfortable, but if it's magical, I think I want it.

[ She shifts the laptop to look more fully at it, and walks over to hold up the pieces. They've got the appropriate straps, but frankly, she's kinda lazy.

Marina walks back up, and sits herself down again in front of the camera. ]

Also, I got more giant robot memories, and it seems kinda... like it'd clash with the whole, y'know, magical knight thing. Right? It's some weird shit.

centurian

[ It's been a while since Gerald has actually made a post of his own to the network. There's been a variety of reasons for this, including, but not limited to: FBI investigations into certain detectives, giant snakes attacking the city, and trying to explain to his superiors what the heck is going on.

But today. Oh, he has a very important message today. ]

Now, I know all of us are pretty confused about the aliens showing up and actually appearing to be pretty decent guys, but if you don't mind, I'm going to take a minute to share some important information that I picked up from a certain "trusted source".

[ His "trusted source", of course being himself. It hasn't gone to press yet, but as far as he knows, he isn't violating any regulations either (and that's the most important thing). ]

According to this source, earlier this morning, a group of "ruggedly handsome" FBI agents (my source's words, not mine) showed up to arrest a certain Detective Jason "Bastard" Sherman (again, the "bastard" part came from my source). I wasn't there, so I can't exactly speak as to how it all went down, but here's a dramatic reenactment, to help you along.

( image heavy post ahead )

I can't tell you what's going to happen next, since my source wasn't exactly "forthcoming" with that information, or if there's going to be a trial date any time soon, but I think we can all breathe a sigh of relief and hope that things are finally starting to look up.

[ The post started off in text because it's the only way he can explain things without shoving it straight into his network friends' face, especially years long friends like Melissa and Celia. After two days of hiding himself away from everyone and finally letting the truth sinks in, he realizes there's no way the drastic change that happened to him isn't real. So with a resigned mood, he booted up his laptop. ]

So...
This might come as a surprise to those of you who knew and have seen me, Tieria, outside of the network.
Right after the broadcast, I received a pulse in the form of physical modification. Thankfully, I did not became an animal or any strange beings, however, the change is drastic enough that I no longer view keeping my appearance from the network necessary. I'm not sure how to explain it so I'm going to switch over to video to make this easier.

[ With a deep breath, he turns on the webcam. In place of his usual brown hair, amber eyes and 24 years old with a mild tan from having worked on the farm is his brand new Innovade body. He's spotting purple hair, red eyes and looks no older than 16 years old, with a skin complexion that would make any girl jealous on first sight. ]

If you have a heart attack, I'm sorry. [ He grimaces, adjusting his glasses in a nervous bout. ] To those who helped me out in my previous post, thank you. I'm no longer suffering from migraine the moment this change took place. So I supposed, there's something good about of it.

[ Sighing softly, he gives the network a weak smile. ] This is going to take some adjusting to...

cestlavino

[The first thing Claire did once he found the network was read just about everything he could find. By the time he finally decides to post something, he's looking rather excited about the whole thing.]

This is... fate, right? Me becoming a part of this network, that is. It has to be fate.

I mean, I was about to curse my luck a little while ago, with all these amazing stories I've been hearing about Locke City while I'm stuck over here in Vegas. It's not like I can just pack my bags and move. But now, I think I get it. All along, me living here, working here, maybe even being born here, was meant to be! Like it was written in the stars.

[He pauses dramatically for a moment... then laughs a little awkwardly.]

...Or something like that, anyway! Ha, what am I doing, giving such an outlandish first impression when all I wanted was to introduce myself? But then I am sort of an outlandish person, so maybe it's just me being honest? Heh, I guess that works.

Oh, right, about the whole other self thing... I think this other me may have been a conductor, so if anyone's got lots of memories of being on a train, I'd like to hear about it.

[Raye pops up on the network looking like her usual sunshiney self. She's got Senketsu with her in full today and, as is typical, he's keeping a curious eye on the network but otherwise staying silent.]

So... are we just not gonna talk about the friggin' aliens that landed yesterday or what? And am I out of my fucking mind or did they kinda sound alright to anybody else?

[She huffs out an irritated breath and moves to switch off the message for now, before pausing and adding]

Oh, yeah, and I remember somebody saying some of us get memories of the same shit so... does anybody else out there remember some evil clown lady with rainbow hair? Cause, I guess that's a thing I got.
