[Not that the camera’s picking up on this, but Scott’s with Kotone and both of them are hovering over his tablet. They’ve been thinking about this for a while, especially after the disappearance of both Claude and Miller, and after discussing with each other about the idea…]

So, uh. Does anyone remember how Claude mentioned about holding a remembrance for all the people that disappeared? I know he’s gone now… but I think it’s a good idea still and we should go through with it.

[Especially since so many of them have ‘returned’ home now. Disappeared. Scott would like to believe that everyone is safely back home. At least it helps that when he vanished from this place, he did go back home and experience a bunch of things. But anyway…]

We’re thinking about holding it at Richard’s Inn. [And he definitely agreed, 100%. Uh-huh.] We’ll probably manage some food and drinks, but it would be helpful if you brought something too. Kotone can’t cook that much.

[Don’t make his girlfriend cook in the kitchen for hours on end okay!!]

If everybody brings a little bit, I think it'll be really fun! [Ah, yeah, unsurprisingly, there's the sound of Kotone's voice, neither confirming nor denying that she could cook that much.] Remembering people who are gone doesn't have to be sad. It would be nice if we could all eat together and share some of our favorite memories.

[Scott almost wants to add something really corny like ‘we can make new memories!’ But he refrains. No, that’s too much!!] And along with that, it might be nice to write down names and brief memories of them. You know. Have it in writing and for others to read. Like a book.

[Kotone hums, the sound of her voice getting a little louder as if she's leaning closer to Scott. Without him having to say he wants to make new memories, it seems she's having the same idea.] It might be nice if we could exchange something, too. You know, 'cause it's not just about the people who are gone, but making sure we can remember everyone who's still here, too. I could get the stuff from the Sewing Club, maybe…

Yeah, just a small something for the other person to hold onto. [He helps, concluding Kotone’s thoughts. Is there that obvious warmth in his voice as he looks at Kotone? Maybe. Yeah gross, don’t worry, they’re about to wrap up.] So yeah, bring food. Or if you have any extra thoughts, let us know.

[ooc: Replies will be given by either Scott or Kotone or both!]

Hi everyone!

Jerry gave me some homework. Can you help me with it, please? ( •̯́ ^ •̯̀)

He wants me to ask if there's such a thing as going “too far” to protect someone you love. What extent would you go to protect others? Would you physically harm them if it meant saving them from harm?

Oh, you can respond with video or call or text or whatever, that's fine! If you want to talk to each other too, that'll probably help, also.

Thank you! ₊˚⊹♡

I am looking for ideas on "activities to do with a loved one". Or a partner, if that meaning is closer.

My boyfriend, specifically.

We haven't been dating very long, but are also fairly close despite that. We've gone on dates after school and at the mall. He has also been in my dorm room. I hope this is enough information to understand our relationship.

I want to spend more time with him, but I'm not sure what are the sort of things people typically do. Please tell me.

Thank you. 😻

Hi, everybody! I saw some posters around town that there's gonna be a cooking competition in a few weeks. Now that the building's all rebuilt (thanks Toph) and refurnished (thanks to a lot of people), I thought maybe Cooking Club should get together a couple times before so people can practice if they want to enter! 🥰

If you're a member already, I can't wait to see you! If you're new to cooking, you can come by, too -- please bring some kind of ingredient to add to the kitchen, though! I have all the staples, but it never hurts to have more, especially after we lost power the month before.

p.s. Scott said all TWAT members are required to come. 💖 See you there!

[Quentin's still not back home.

He takes a long breath, mostly to get his feelings somewhat under control. His roommate is a huge asshole, but he's worried and everything. Maybe he should just do text, but whatever, he's going through with this.]

If anyone has seen Quentin Quire around, tell him to stop fucking around and come back. He's uh.

[Fuck, what is his normal hair color?????]

He's a dweeb with a mohawk and glasses. Usually wearing some stupid t-shirt with a slogan on it. Anyway, tell him that his room is starting to smell.

[Please don't be gone. Fuck. Did he get lost in the middle of all this bullshit? Trapped somewhere? Sent 'home?' They just went through that whole stupid thing with the alternative life and now Aldrip is a city, so he's feeling all kind of ways. He's really confused and upset and he doesn't know what he's supposed to do, but he's starting here.]

Oh, I'm calling a mandatory 'we're going to the movie theater' event to all members of TWAT club. Don't feel like going? Too bad, don't care, you're going-- that's what mandatory means. Leader's orders.

[He just wants to do something normal with his friends okay--]

[Okay, so when Goro Akechi asks nicely for a favor, Kotone isn't one to turn him down. People are probably more likely to listen if it's not-him saying something! Besides, it's kind of fun to pretend to be a real news anchor, sitting next to Minato at one of the desks in the club building, holding a piece of paper in both hands. In light of recent events, though, her usually-bright smile is a bit more subdued as she mouths a few words, skimming down the paper, and then immediately makes a face.

It's so obvious to anyone who knows either Minato or Kotone that there's no way what they're reading out loud are their own words. Their broadcast goes live not long after Ragna's post.]

Good evening Aldrip!

I'm certain that we all are aware of the current events. Especially since the perpetrator behind the latest explosion decided to grant us with a live broadcast and-- [She pauses, scrunching up her face, because what's written next is so passive-aggressive about "the person in question not having a plan, and how no one should be surprised that person didn't have a plan." She'll just leave that part out and skip ahead,]

Considering the nature of the Council, it'd be foolish to think this attack will be left unpunished. However, we aren't sure if they will come to us as a whole or just target the perpetrator. Honestly, both are plausible scenarios. Which is why I believe we need to gather all the information we have of The Council.

[ Why is this so long?? Minato leans over a bit, squinting at the mess of handwritten notes in front of him. ] A lot of people have theorized that they are the ones responsible for our presence here, or that they are godlike creatures. While I believe this is an important theory to keep in mind, I’m not sure that’s the case here.

The council was originally absent when The Chosen arrived here for the first time. They only became active back in October after we went through the Maze. [She makes another face, because the maze sucked.] For those who weren't here back then, here's a quick summary: One night in September the town transformed into a gigantic maze with different levels that we had to clear while facing our fears, insecurities and memories related to the crimes in our parchments. After a few days the maze disappeared and town returned back to 'normal.' That's when 'Jerry' appeared and began to act on behalf of The Council to rehabilitate the criminals.

…‘someone' suggested that we might have entered a whole different timeline after coming out of the maze. [ He takes a moment to shuffle through his papers because, what maze…? Minato glances over his shoulder at something off-screen with a puzzled expression before looking straight ahead again. ] There’s no concrete evidence on this, but we shouldn’t ignore it either. The odd behavior from the locals would suggest it. They’ve been seen freezing in the middle of action before suddenly changing their opinions and behavior, along with being… unable to offer any proper information about the world they live in.

It could be that the world is preparing for another world-altering change right now, just like back with the maze. [Maybe they should have led with that?]

We also believe that we are hardly the first group of The Chosen who have arrived. There have been mentions of previous "cycles", indicating that there were others before us. These cycles were mentioned in the graves that we came across during October's witch hunt — [ He glances at something out of view again with a curious tilt of the head. After blinking a couple times with a frown in that direction, he turns to his notes again. ] — along with… an underground grotto where we found pictures of the people from past. [ Minato frowns a bit because that’s… mildly concerning if true. Frankly, he doesn’t know whether anything in these notes is true at all. ]

The biggest indicator, however, that we are not the first ones here are the sudden images, video and audios clips we received after our expedition with the fairies back in July. [Her mouth opens in an "oh" as if she's only just realized something herself, then shrugs and continues reading,] Those clips showed people from the past discussing about their "crimes" very similarly to our own. They also mentioned dealing with similar trials and monsters like we have. So, it would make sense if we assume that everything that we have gone through has happened before, and that we are following some sort of a script...? [HUH?? Now it's her turn to stare off-screen mouthing 'what?']

Or at least, that was the case until the destruction of the City Hall. [ Finally, something he actually has firsthand knowledge about and doesn’t need to glance over his shoulder to make sure he’s reading things correctly. ]

[Apparently whatever she's looking at off-screen is prompting her to continue, because she makes a face but checks her papers again. And then makes yet another face, deciding to paraphrase what's written there.] The Council is really powerful and can alter people's memories and bodies, but maybe they're not the ones behind the maze...? 'Cause apparently we don't have any proof that they can change reality. So maybe they're just a product of maze instead of the ones behind it. [She scrunches up her face and checks the papers again, a little doubtfully,] Maybe like Jerry, they're being used as tools by someone with greater power...? [She's kind of regretting agreeing to do this... she should have made Akechi read his own hypotheses...]

We don’t know who or what that powerful being may be. It could be the ones that locals call Those Who Were Here, but they seem to be deities only to Aldrip. None of the other towns have shown any signs of religion as far as we know. They might be a red herring set out to mislead us. [ He speaks flatly with an impassive expression. Minato clearly doesn’t actually believe or agree with anything that’s coming out of his mouth right now. He maintains his focus though, eyes trained on the notes in front of him. ] Whatever it is, we believe we can all agree that their excuses and explanations about wanting to rehabilitate us is bullshit, along with our 'crimes.' [ Minato looks off camera again and gives definitely-not-Akechi-Goro a thumbs-up. ]

[Kotone puts down her papers and sticks out her tongue a little as if trying to figure out how to talk normally again after all that formal language.] Anyway, that's just a summary, so if anybody has any other information, go ahead and let us know! How was that, Goro?

[ ooc: Replies will mostly be from Akechi, but possible peanut gallery-ing from Kotone and Minato!

Also please feel free to tag each other too! Hop on in and let’s start cooking some theories \o/ ]

[Kotone is not a girl used to asking for help. If it's something she can't do on her own, she usually doesn't. But with recent events in town and outside of town, not to mention the passings of the one-year anniversaries of some difficult days from back home, it's been hard to muster her usual good cheer and can-do attitude.]

Hi, everyone! It's Kotone. You might know me from working at Lupin recently. :D

I know we're all really busy, but I wanted to ask if anybody had time to help me rebuild the club building. It's the one that looked like a flat-roofed warehouse on the edge of town? It got destroyed cause of the corruption.

Oh, I'm also still looking for people to help out on Astralin-san's farm, too! Especially with the crops and animals.

[A pause, and then she adds,]

I'd really like to start the cooking and sewing clubs again. :) And if other people had things they wanted to do like club activities, it would be good to have a space for it! I think it's really important to have some normal things to do with all the crazy stuff going on.

[There's not much she feels she can do with everything happening between Ketsora and Rumpitur, but she can try to do something to help the Chosen feel more closely tied together.]

invinciblemikey

the sano dojo is currently closed for now. we will resume activities later down the line.

trespassers will be treated as such, so i strongly suggest you do not come unannounced - anyone who does not respect these guidelines will be shown no grace.

[he's actually gotta text coherently for once because he thinks he's absolutely anonymous here.]

so like at what point do you figure out that you like someone that's already been your friend? i mean, i've had crushes on people before but what if it doesn't feel like that? but you think they're not just your friend either? how do you know how to label what?

[he's thinking WAY TOO HARD about this.]

do you even do anything at all? or say anything? what if it becomes all weird or something? not that i think i could ruin anything but what if i hurt someone by accident? especially when they like other people too. makes me kind of think i should leave it alone, yeah?

that's probably what i'll do.

good talk everybody, thanks for reading.

[Hello, Chosen! It’s probably mid-to-late afternoon on the 28th. The kidnapees have been missing all day… And exploring their lil island prison. Finally, this idiot with a functional charm has thought to, you know, chime in and let people know!

And boy the message is a bit rough. The text portions are staticy enough, and the voice parts are worse, garbled and cutting out constantly. The charms work, but just barely, seems like. Feel free to assume any parts of this are illegible or incomprehensible!]

[A beat, some static as Kotone attempts to change over to video– and the line goes completely dead.

There’s a good period of silence as they figure out– hey, it’s not actually recording anything!! And then compromise on a voice recording that sounds like it’s been spoken into a fan and then re-mixed by someone who has no idea how to use audio editing software.]

I do not know if this has happened to anyone else, but... It seems as if the crime on my parchment has changed. Granted, the first crime was indeed false, but this one... This is a crime I am guilty of. How interesting. Has anyone else's crime changed, or is this the first occurrence?

[A pause.]

Ah, by the way. I recently built a hot spring on my land. Feel free to use it at any time, but please be respectful. There are snacks, drinks, and towels that will be provided upon entry. If you want to bring your own alcohol, I am okay with that.

(manjiro comes into the camera, wearing his gang uniform with the words 'president' stitched, loud and proud. he sighs a little, but there's a smile on his lips before he speaks.)

I ain't into being strangers. Let's talk about ourselves with a single word and go from there. I'll start.

[Usagi has a notebook in front of her as she sits in her room at the inn. She taps her pencil against her nose, an unseen list in front of her.]

So, back home, when a WHOLE TOWN suddenly went from super nice to super nasty it was usually some sort of mind control. So what do you think? Witches, aliens, monsters, or something else?

That said, we're not exactly HELPING our case with committing crimes here.

[She stares, unimpressed at the camera of the tablet.]

So, I think we should also patrol to help with the crime rate, since, you know, we're stuck living here and we should try to make our lives and the lives of others better not harder for everyone... Especially not making the people who, up until this point, have been very kind to us, HATE US. But more than that, we might not be as quick to accuse someone of something for just existing inside of a store.

With all that said, I guess who wants to patrol with me?

And if no one wants to that's okay. You'll see me around anyway. Whether that means like, at odds or not is an up to you situation, I guess. [Usagi's statement certainly SOUNDS like an empty threat. She's not even 100 pounds when wet, but here she is, very clearly saying she's going to try and help.]

nullificates

(just voice. someone drank so much. please, he doesn't look his best, but his energy is as good as ever.)

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the... I'm still not set on a name! So, right now, it's the I Drank Too Much This Weekend, Dazai Osamu show! If you attended the party, you are a champion! We should do this more often! If the woods weren't creepy-- unless, of course, that's your deal! Maybe a bonfire? Beach party? Cocktails? I'll even bartend! Ah, maybe I am still coming down. If this was your first time drinking, please, make sure to drink a lot of water, in tiny sips, and eat bland food! Don't upset your stomach, drink right! Anyway, let's see what we have for today...

Ah, yes, I've received a suggestion from someone probably very ugly, and friendless, and probably stinky, that the host should be changed! After debating with my associates, me, myself, and I, I've decided that's not possible, I'm so sorry! Please, feel better soon.

So, next up! We got fridges now, yadda yadda, snake people didn't eat anyone, don't go into the forest, but also, if you do, take some people, don't die, the basics. If you attempt to destroy the statues, they just get fixed perfectly, so I guess you can take that as an invitation to wreck the statue rather than someone else! Use it as a drama partner! Live your best life, so vandalize to your heart's desire. Remember, you are already paying for one crime! What's anoth--

Also, in line with our request from last week, several people wanted to know whether they're assholes. I'll read them for you, and you give your opinion, but I have to say... This is not looking too bright.

"I actually spat on someone's drink during the party, am I an asshole?"

Yes, actually.

"My husband cheated on me, so I stole her lover's jewelry and run off with our pet dog. I feel bad."

Mmmmmm, what do you think, Chosen? Please, tell us your thoughts! New arrivals, this happens once every-I-Felt-Like-It, so feel free to leave suggestions, comments, and talk around with your fellow criminals as we uncover the truth! Who's an asshole? If you say 'you', you don't have an ounce of creativity!

(in the background, one can hear "dazai-san, remind them about club signups!", the cute voice of our little aldrip sister, kotone... dazai giggles a little, an 'okokok' leaving him before he returns.)

Yes, also! Don't forget to come to the Club Building, and sign up for the clubs! Especially the magic one, for some reason that I don't really know, but that one!! Enjoy hobbies, make friends, start writing a Coup d'Etat, cook delicious meals, and take rabbits out of top hats, whatever you feel like!

Thank you and good evening!

[Kotone has never really been one to like... start things. Mostly people told her to join other things, or she followed her friends with their interests. But here, it seems like people are just kind of left to their own devices, so a few days after the return to the forest and the fruitless search for the missing, she's getting antsy. She needs something to do and doesn't really know where to start. So-]

Hello! Um, my name is Kotone Shiomi. I was wondering if anyone was starting up any clubs or anything in town! You know, a group of people with similar hobbies or interests, like a sports club, or a book club, or a gardening club...

One of my friends at school started a sewing club. I think I might do something like that, if anybody is interested! Or somebody, [Shinji,] could make a cooking club and give lessons, stuff like that.

[She holds up one finger as if struck by a sudden idea.]

Oh, maybe if we can get a list of everybody's hobbies, we can figure out what kinds of clubs to make? I just think it's important to have something fun to do with everyone, instead of just always worrying about the weird stuff that's going on. So... tell me about what you like to do!
