[ there is shaky video feed of... a child, fitted in a tank top and shorts, his fringe slick against his forehead as a pair of large circular glasses hang over his face. look closely and it may not be hard to recognize him!

give it a few minutes. he's still figuring this thing out. he eventually finds his proverbial footing, speaking directly to the camera: ]

Hi. I'm Sha-Ming. I'm 9!

[ what an introduction. ]

Um! I've never seen so many humans in one place. So I've got a few questions for you guys!

1: What's your name?

2: Are you happy here? There aren't any trees or rivers... just these big grey houses. Where are you supposed to play?

3: How old are you? I never met any humans that aren't my parents, so I really wanna learn more.

4: Have you seen two humans in white coats? They look kinda serious... my dad's got a ponytail. And uhh, my mom's a little small!

5: Are there any monkeys here? I'm tryin' to find my friends, but I don't see them anywhere. They're super smart and strong, and they can help you with anything, so be nice when you see 'em!

6: I dunno what else to say, ummm... what's your favorite food? I like custard buns.

Okay, that's all! I'm gonna go exploring now!

I realise that this might be an odd question.

But has anyone noticed the gas stations here? I'd not seen any while walking on foot, but if I begin to run low while driving I find one around the corner. It's as though they've shown up overnight.

...Not that this would be the first time this has happened.

[This place... At least the butcher's disappearance and the casino's appearance had seemed random. But the timing was oddly convenient.]

heartstopping

[Rolo doesn't bother with the anonymity of text for once, nor the innocent civilian teen act. He can't bring himself to care right now. Why bother maintaining a decent reputation, why try to build a life? There's no point anymore. Not for him, anyway.

He sits with a flat expression, idly fiddling with the charm dangling from his phone.]

There is no Council. The sentencing room is empty and it doesn't look like it's ever even been used. Whatever's in control of this aren't people. It's no wonder blowing the building up didn't do anything.

[His fingers still on the little locket charm, and then squeeze it tightly.]

If anyone has any ideas on how to kill something without a physical body, I'm listening.

[The video opens with a slight blur, slowly coming into focus as Tsuna is trying to make sure the angle's okay. It takes a minute or two but eventually he's satisfied.

Of course, in getting that set up, he's briefly forgotten how he was going to start this off so there's a few extra breaths as he gets his thoughts in order. He looks nervous but eventually, a level of confidence starts to show through. Tsuna isn't the kind of leader that charges forward, but when takes on the responsibility, he takes it seriously.]

So, uh...here's the thing. I want to go back to the desert.

We went there a while ago, around when I first arrived here, and I've always sort of had questions about it? So I think it might be worth another look.

I'd like to have a team to do that though. I remember there being monsters and things like that last time, so I don't want to go alone. So if you're interested, please let me know. I'm hoping to go soon.

[There's a moment as he considers if he missed anything, before the video ends.]

cursegod

[It's unusual for Dara to post to the network, let alone a video! No tail to be seen, and her "legs" are covered up by the length of her yukata. The only thing interesting thing about her bare-bones apartment is that half her table is covered by canisters of loose leaf tea. There are several mugs filled, only partially touched, and it seems that Dara is creating a ranking order for the drinks.

One set of hands are devoted to scribbling down notes about each tea. Another set holds two different mugs, and she seems to be trying to figure out which one is better by taking a sip of each in turn. Her last two hands are dedicated on writing out 謝罪 on a different set of papers-- two blank and four others marked with the kanji. When the left hand finishes its work, the pen is switched to the right to write on the last blank page. Dara addresses the camera as her gaze remains focused on her writing:]

I figured I should let everyone know that things are settled between me and Gogol. If any of you have complaints about what happened with the miasma and snakes, I'll hear them now. And...thanks for those that helped me out, even if it wasn't intentional. I owe favors to many of you, and I like to clear my debts.

[While the god busies herself with writing and talking, a red clad hand peeks into frame. Playing with the viewers' perspective that hand pretends to pinch her head between the forefinger and thumb once, twice—before retreating back behind the camera to presumably rejoin the rest of the cameraman. Then, with the last page of 謝罪 done, Dara gathers the papers and crushes them into a ball. The wad of papers is dropped into one of the mugs, immediately soaking up the leftover tea inside, which is then thrust towards her companion.]

Here, letters of apology. Also stop trying to ruin the tea on purpose. You're messing up my rating system.

[The broadcast stops.]

what happens to people when they disappear from this place

[So, a few hours ago, Kotone posted a certain message to the network, one that seemed pretty normal for her:]

Hi everybody! Shinji already talked about Cooking Club a little the other day, and that gave me the idea that we should have a potluck so everybody can share what they've been making! Let's have it on June 12 -- that'll give everyone plenty of time to think about what you wanna make! I'll be in the club building every afternoon until then if you want help thinking of things or if you wanna practice. 🥰 Hope to see you then!
-Kotone

[Except, she left out one very important detail and now Scott is here to fix that little mistake. So, yeah, few hours after Kotone’s message, Scott will send a new one.]

Hey, you heard earlier about Kotone’s potluck? Wanting it on June 12th and stuff? She sort of forgot to mention that it’s her birthday that day. I know, dumb, right? So, when you come to the potluck, bring a present too. She’ll be happy with whatever you get her, she’s a sap like that.

[Just come and have a good time, really. Celebrate that she made it to another birthday and stuff. He knows that being with friends is the most important thing to her, but he’s not saying that mushy shit here.]

I’ll be at the club building early that day to decorate. So pop by if you wanna help with that. Let’s just keep this all quiet from her, got it? I’ll laser your ass if you don’t.

[ooc: Filtered away from Kotone because Scott is hijacking Kotone’s potluck and rebranding it to her birthday fjal;kef.]

drugsnotclubs

[Sup, Aldrip! Shinjiro looks just as surly as ever, but now he's looking surly wearing one of the communal aprons from Kotone's cooking club. He even has his hair pulled back so it doesn't fall into what he's doing, how cute! His arms are folded, looking just past the camera for whatever signal that recording has started, and then begins, flat and even toned as usual.]

...So I'm finding out basically no one here knows how to cook for themselves. And I mean actual day-to-day meal food. Not just tea cakes and not crazy thousand dollar sushi or whatever. So we're gonna fix that.

Kotone wants everyone to come to cooking club, make friends, whatever. [he waves a hand as he says it. It's basically like a YouTuber telling you about their sponsorship because they have to.] So that's something you can do for hands on practice, especially if you don't got a big kitchen at home.

But before any idiots show up and ruin all the pans we got, I figured I'd start off by fielding any basic questions anyone's got. Lemme know how you're screwing up, and I'll see if I can't tell you what to do instead. If I can figure out how to attach a recipe to this thing, I'll do that, too.

...and if you can make something... I dunno, shoot us a recipe or something. Could always use more ideas to teach the beginners.

[And, he glances over and nods to Kotone, advertisement done!! True to his word, people can find a basic recipe for a stir fry in text, complete with notes about possible ingredient options and cook times (the cook time for certain vegetables is different, after all,) as well as two different sauce recipes for it, one more sweet, and one more umami. Sub in whatever leftover veg or meat you have on hand and it's an easy dinner.]

[ the screen flickers, glitching a bit as if it has somehow broken. barely visible beneath the glitches:

UNKNOWN DEVICE DETECTED
SEARCHING........
NETWORK DETECTED

the screen goes black, and shortly thereafter it restarts. the network appears as normal. ]

Chosen of Expiation, tell me about yourself. What is your purpose? What do you wish to return to? How do you define "justice"? How do you seek "rehabilitation?"

I wish to Learn.

[Vi comes on the feed, and it's clear she's a little awkward. she's really not used to making network posts for herself, especially about stuff like this. it looks like she's drying off a wet cup though, and it looks like she's standing behind a bar. there's a lot of liquor behind her...]

Hey. So, uh... the original guys who ran Lupin left. I've been cleaning up some of their shit, so I haven't really said that I've kinda took it over.

[well. she's bullied Caitlyn into doing some of the admin work, so she can be a bartender LMFAO]

Just saying that it's still open. Whoever worked here while Dazai and Sigma are here, don't feel like you gotta stay. Other than that...

[she sets the glass down, frown deepening.]

Don't come in here and fuck anything up. I'll toss you out. If you want to do something shitty, go to the Last Drop.

[and then she turns the feed off.]

spidermenaces

Okay, so, uh, first of all, I'm Peter Parker. Hi!

(he shows on camera, a little brief, but with a wave and a smile, but that's not exactly what he wants to show! the camera flips to show a room - a table, several glass containers, a little gas flame, and some random things on the corner: a box full of bark and leaves, a fex tins of paint thinner, rocks, wines, and cleaning products, all tagged and properly stored - anything spider-people related has been cleared and hidden, nothing to see here. they don't have a blackboard yet, so all the math and designing is written and drawn on the walls.)

And this is the STEM club room! Science, Technology, Engineering and Math-- if that isn't a thing in your world, I mean. So, basically, it's a science club. I think a lot of you got some stuff you might want to see fixed, or find stuff to replace other stuff, right? So, bring it here, I'll take a bit of a look and see what I can do, though no promises if you guys have like, insane stuff. Like, I don't know, space stuff that I can't break down from the things from here, then I can't really do a whole lot. I can try, though? That's where I'm going with this.

Ah, another thing, I just got here, so I'm like, super broke. If you guys have anything I can use, like chemicals or things I can break down for chemicals, then that'd be like, great.

(he's just taking the camera around the room because he's pacing to talk, but eventually he turns the camera back to him.)

Oh, and then, another another thing, music club next door. Got a drummer, I'm on the saxophone, got a guitar, so if you play something, you should totally come around to jam.

Uh, that's it, Peter out.

(great smooth transition into an end call.)

memori3s

[ Audio, just for you, Toph. ]

Has anyone seen Sha-Ming? I think he went to Bar Lupin for a night, but he hasn't been back in five days.

[ Good thing there's no video so no one can see Minato's actually mildly concerned about this. On the other hand, the fact that he's bothered to post a message on the network might be giving that away anyways. Also, rent at the inn is due in like two days? Guess who doesn't have the cash to cover two rooms. ]

He left a message for me, something about a "salary man with a bad hairline"? Has anyone seen someone like that?

[ There's a screenshot of a text message attached to the post. It reads: ]

to: minato arisato

yo if i die 2nite the salary man w the bad hairline and glasses did it

DONT THROW MY SHIT AWAY i’ll b back 😩

Good afternoon.

My name is Mitsuru Kirijo and I am going to be taking over management of the casino.

Obviously Aldrip has gone through some significant changes as of late and some of you may be looking for new employment.

Once renovations are complete we're going to have various positions within the casino to fill including bar staff, security, dealers etc. On the subject of dealers, we are also open to suggestions as to what games we're going to be running.

Anyone who has visited the premises in their current state will be aware that there is a substantial amount of work to be done to get the place up to even a halfway decent standard. As such, I would also be pleased to hear from those of you with a flair for interior design.

Lastly, if anyone is interested in adding to our existing investment in the business then please do not hesitate to contact me to discuss further.

geass

[he doesn't have a whole monologue written out today, but he does have something he's curious on pointing out.]

It seems as if the changes in this world aren't just cosmetic. It's learned how to protect itself, thanks to those that believe in explosions to get their point across.

[cough]

Just in case one of you decides to try City Hall again.

[we're not going to talk about how he already tried it ok, just trust the anon on the network-]

foxphorus

Greetings to all of Aldrip. My name is Abe no Seimei and I come bearing warnings and offerings.

Some time within the last month, pieces of a resident called Dara have been taken from her and spread throughout the city. While macabre on its own, these pieces will also soon begin to radiate harmful miasma into the air and effect all living things in the surrounding area. The effects are not unlike an illness--sluggishness, soreness, chills and so on, but continued exposure will not only worsen the effects on your body but your mind, bringing fear, despair, violent urges...if left unchecked, it will eventually suffocate all it touches.

As part of my duties back home, I have extensive experience mitigating and cleansing such miasma. I am, however, only one man and certain we've all noticed the city's sudden growth recently.

In exchange for assistance in the search for these missing pieces, I am offering personally charmed talismans to significantly lessen the effects of the miasma in tainted areas and cleansing to those who have already felt its effects. You will find me on the main road between the inn and the library.

For the moment that is all. May we find each other well.

[ ooc: this coincides with the current player plot! please feel free to use this as an ic mingle for making plans or ask seimei any questions. good hunting! ]

laserguy

[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--]
