[It's been a busy few days. People are saved or dead, but time ticks on. It's early morning on the fourth, and a message appears on the network. It takes him a long while to write it out. It's hard. He wants to sound grown-up. And reflection isn't the easiest thing, but still... he manages.]

Marking days that are important to you are hard. You never know how to talk about them, or explain them to other people. They wouldn't understand, right?

But sometimes you just have to get things out there. If you want to skip this, that's fine. I understand.


Cut for mention of parental death, attempted murder, and attempted suicide. )

... Dates like today... where you remember people who died... they can hurt. But... I think most people you really care about would want you to move on. Death... is inevitable. I know that. Most people know that. Just because one person's life ends doesn't mean they stop affecting you. It doesn't mean you have to stop fighting to save people.

But if they don't make it... they're still with you. Even if you go through hell, you can survive if you remember the people important to you.

I think sometimes here it's easy to forget that. It doesn't matter how 'normal' or 'ordinary' you think you are. I've seen people like that survive the worst kinds of situations.

We still have the future. We can still make our own way.

[ Completely going against his own ideas about energy conservation (it's justified, he thinks, by the fact that it's solving one problem -- hunger), here's a short video from the mess hall.

Plenty of you already know the skeleton, short, round, slow, frequently grinning and looking like all those naps he takes isn't doing him any favors. ]


Heya.

So the kids have kept themselves busy putting together a little something to share with you guys. It's pretty souper.


[ That one's probably not too obvious, but he chuckles anyway, propping himself up on an elbow. ]

Come on down and check it out. Won't know what it is lentil you get here.

Heard a few of us are on bedrest, so, send a friend to fetch ya a bowl, ok?

See ya.


[ OOC: Open to responses over the network or you can mingle with each other in action threads. There will be a separate thread for the kids working on the soup earlier that they can backtag if they so desire. Come take the edge off your hunger with some soup made of whatever herbs and vegetables Nami and Ammy were able to get going in the garden and lentils to pad it out. ]

[The video flickers on to Minako's gaunt smile. She's hiding her discomfort as well as she can, but you can tell just by looking at her that she's not in good shape. Dark circles under her eyes, bloodshot, a little thin and rumpled. But she's alive. And she's flesh and blood. She's sitting in bed.]

Hi everyone! This is mostly for those of you that know me already. I think there should be a bunch of newbies here now too... anyway.

My phone seems to be missing, so I'm posing from Ken-kun's, since he found me and was kind enough to drag me back to my room.


[She turns the phone to show him for a moment.]

I'm sorry for my absence, and for those of you who saw what was... left of me, in that absence, I am doubly sorry. I let my guard down for just a moment, and that was a moment too long. The Queen got a hold of me and played me like a puppet.

I managed to get free of her hold, somehow. So here I am! I'll be honest, I've been in better shape, but I'll be okay soon enough.

I'm in my room if you need to see me, or you can reply to this. Ken-kun will let me know.


[She smiles again, clearly tired just from the effort of talking.]

Love you all.

She still needs to recover, so don’t crowd her. Okay?

[Ken leans in and gives the camera a serious look, and the feed cuts.]

[The text is sent out late at night, when everyone should be sleeping. 'Should be' of course being the key phrase. Yukio doesn't sleep much anyways, and even less since the encounter with Minako's shadow.

He's sleep-deprived, and that's probably why he's acting so foolish. He should know to keep his mouth shut. He told Rin he would tell him if there was anything wrong... but if Rin doesn't ask, he shouldn't need to tell.

He really should stop now before he does something stupid like... send a text. He should be stronger than this. He doesn't want to be a burden. He knows he can rely on Rin, but his brother has enough to worry about.

He's being ridiculous. He'll only annoy Rin, or make him angrier. He doesn't need to do this.

But concern and worry and the sickening cocktail of emotions curdling in his stomach motivate him to send out a text anyways.]


Are you awake?

I'm not sure if anyone told you, but I had a run-in with a shadow. I'm not hurt. Maka got me out of there.

I shouldn't have had any trouble, but the shadow looked like Minako. It wasn't her, and I know that, but for some reason I couldn't bring myself to fight it. I froze up.

Do you think it's okay to kill those things? Better than it is to kill demons?

If you're still mad, you don't have to answer. I'm sorry. I know this is confusing. I wish I knew for sure what was going on.

I don't like not having the answers.


[Eventually, a second text is sent, once he realizes this wasn't filtered to Rin as he had hoped.]

Disregard the last message. It wasn't meant to be sent.

Subject: Ozuma's missing
--------------------------------------------------------
URGENT ANNOUNCEMENT: The following is an automated message.

Nature of Emergency: Newcomers, and no sign of Ozuma. Possible mental manipulation.

We've got confirmed newcomers in the altar room, and they're reporting that Ozuma isn't there. They're also reporting seeing memories that aren't their own.

I think we've got Queenly shenanigans in play. Can we get a strike team to the Altar Room, in case we're going to get a follow up visit by shadows?

Greetings, fellow soldiers.

[The feed opens up to a view from the very edge of the bridge. Slim legs dangling over the edge, at the very precipice of everything.

It's a nice day today. The water's sparkling. A light breeze has small waves kicking up on it's surface, barely distinguishable from the quality of the video format. Even so- it's pretty.]


It's been a while since our last game. I'm sure most of you are busy with the flurry of activity this month has sparked, however- indulge me for a few minutes.

Consider it a question, more than a game.

What would a 'happy ending' look like, to you?

( OOC: Backdated to June 7th. Also don't forget the OOC sign-ups! )

The following message can be found in two places: typed on the network and on a piece of paper posted on the bulletin board, written in bright ink so people might see it. The latter is actually up several hours before it hits the network, and only at all thanks to Chara's help, though Rin's optimistic she can handle it from here.]


ATTENTION!

Throughout the rest of the month, we will be making attempts to access further areas of the castle. I’m informed the last this was attempted was two months ago, meaning it’s high time to continue, yes?

Several potential paths have been scouted out, for moving forward. We plan to tackle these as four separate missions, to be carried out before the end of June. This is an ambitious goal, and the task ahead is significant. How successful our efforts will be is dependent on how many volunteers we receive and our teamwork. If you are eager to do something productive in this place, please consider joining us, but also keep in mind the following.

Conditions of Volunteering:

— The castle is full of puzzles. Reasonable thinkers and problem solvers will be appreciated.
— Combat is expected and will be unavoidable. Be prepared and willing to fight.
— Your endurance and athleticism may be tested. Consider how well you can keep up before volunteering.
— Healing, and evidently light-based abilities may be valuable to our mission. Please note if you have any skills in these areas.
— Behavior that puts others at risk or gets in the way of the task at hand will not be humored.
— MUST be able to cooperate with your fellow volunteers! That's regardless of differences, unless it violates the above rule. If you have a different problem with someone, stay behind or work with another team.

If you can agree to the above, the names of the team leaders for each excursion. They'll let you know when and where to meet. If your team leaders do a good job, be sure to commend them for their efforts along with the members of the scouting party, if you know who they are. It's thanks to them we can do this at all.

Team 1: Rin Tohsaka
Team 2: Nami
Team 3: Rob Edwards
Team 4: Zuko

Please contact Rin Tohsaka if you have further questions.

So I was wondering...

Has anyone here been to a world that's not their own before? Or been to a place like this, with people from a lot of different worlds?

Also hands up if you've died before, I'm kind of curious. Since death's supposedly not permanent in this place, I was wondering. Bonus points if you've died in one of those worlds that brings in people from multiple worlds.

(Points are not going to actually be awarded, before you even ask.)

Also for the record my answers are yes, yes, and yes - five times.

I hope that's right.

[Viewers may recognize the view from balcony on the Tower of Winds as the backdrop. As Zuko draws back from setting up the camera, she doesn't completely position herself inside the frame, but for someone who's never really done this... at least you can see most of her head.]

I know everyone's looking forward to the festival. I think we've earned it. But I also think we need to keep taking advantage of the Queen's inaction.

Some of us are more prepared for a fight than others. While I don't think anyone should be forced to fight if it isn't in their nature, for those who choose to, I can teach sword techniques and hand-to-hand combat. You can find me out on the bridge every morning.

I think it would be a good idea for others to share what they know, too. We could use more healers--

[If she was going to conclude with anything else, she's interrupted by a tiny growl. The video shakes violently, coming to a stop pointed skyward. A blurry dragon face noses the camera and then the whole view is blocked out as Kizuna sits atop her defeated foe.]

Kizuna. Did you switch it off?

[Some scuffling and indistinct images follow before the feed actually does shut off.]
