[Kendrix is tossing a soccer ball in the air. And looking rather confused about it. There's also a couple of beat-up artifacts on her desk that look like a staff head and a bracelet.]

I decided to head to Helheim to try to spray the repellent. Found all of these. Also had a really hard time getting through to there, since every time I tried to bring it up on my worldhop, I kept getting soccer matches? Weird.

Anyway, I managed to completely disinfect all of this stuff, so there's no fear of it spreading the Helheim fruits. I'm going to hold onto the artifacts for now, since we should try to protect what's left of their civilization after we get rid of all of the plants. But I can definitely tell you this soccer ball shouldn't be there.

Anyone want one?

[It's a tired Kendrix! She takes off her glasses and rubs at her eyes as she looks at the computer.]

Kaitou, you owe me. Coffee isn't exactly abundant around here, and I'm still trying to see if the seedlings take.

So, anyway, I've isolated one of the compounds in those Helheim fruits you gave me. There's several different chemicals with different effects, and while I haven't gotten through all of them yet, I did figure out which one is the hypnotic pheromone that makes them so attractive to eat. And on top of that, I developed an antidote.

[She holds up a spray bottle]

This isn't all of it, mind you, but it's roughly the best I can produce here. You'll need a bigger lab with more resources to do more. But the good part is that it can be aerosolized and delivered on a much larger scale. But for now, you'll have to do it one at a time, until you've got a better way to deliver it.

[She takes a sip from a glass of orange juice for a moment.]

Oh, that reminds me. It has a weird side-effect where you're craving oranges for about 72 hours.

[video; please imagine that I have child icons]

*Oh, hey, it's the weird kid in class who drags around a plush dog all day and sometimes chews on it. She waves.*

Will you be my friend? All my friends moved away.

I wanna play with someone. Do you guys wanna play house? Or colour? I bet we could even get all the dress-up stuff and become pirates who take over the school.

(Kindergarten AU yaaaaaaaay. This is set up to be like the High School, College, and Hogwarts viruses, so everyone gets to be five and play around!)

[Ah, it's the beginning of another sunrise in Dream Land. The grassland is as idyllic as ever, and there is a small dome building in the feed that belongs to a certain someone we should all know (by now)]

( Kirby's House. )

[Our little planet saviour can be seen catching his forty winks through the window. Awwww.

It looks like the start of yet another peaceful day.

Ah, who is this mun trying to jest? This is Pop Star!

( A royal kidnapping )

It's been about a month now, and I'm this close to kicking Kaitou out. Not just out of the apartment, off Mirinoi entirely. I've had to apologize to the villagers six times this week.

Is there anyone willing to take a time-displaced thief/Kamen Rider who likes to troll everyone around him? Or at least feels a little better about kicking his butt out than I do?

Hey, everyone. I probably should have posted after that whole thing with Kaitou happened, but I've kind of been hosting him since he got stranded in time, so it's been a little crazier here than normal. Hoping everyone else who went through it is okay? It looks like it, given the viruses--I know I saw Retasu during the battle, and Jin's waging a war with marshmallows or something, but is everyone else fine?

Also, now that we've got these worldhops, I feel like I should try to go somewhere, but I'm not sure where. We're doing pretty good on supplies and everything, both in the colony and in the village, so any suggestions for something I should check out?

[The video opens on a girl holding a book. Though at first it's tricky to tell who the one reading is, after a few seconds she lowers it and raises an eyebrow as she curiously looks at the camera.]

...Well, now.

[Yep, it's Yuri, back again after an absence of several months.]

This is unexpected. [A slight smile appears on her face.] Though not unwelcome. Really, I was starting to think I'd never see this place again. I guess I was wrong there.

I hope I haven't missed too much.

[ When this post starts up, it doesn't look like it's from any of Yuri's worlds. That's because it isn't. It's just some regular school, obviously on break for lunch, and there's a girl with her hair tied back in a ponytail. She's got a green ribbon in her hair with a little golden butterfly clip in it, her bangs still down and cleanly cut. It's a different school uniform. This one's got a plaid green skirt with a plain white, short sleeved blouse and a little green ribbon beneath the collar. It offsets her bright magenta hair quite a bit, but that's why she keeps it tied back to make sure it doesn't seem overpowering.

There seems to be some kind of conversation going on between her and two other girls all sitting with their tables turned together in the classroom. ]

Hiroshi's sister told me that he's going to ask you out, Yuriko.

What are you going to say?

She's going to say yes, obviously.

What, are you expecting me to make chocolates or something? It's already Valentine's Day, it's not like I can go back in time to!

[ The girl who certainly looked like Yuri laughed a little as her friends started teasing her about how that's better since she'd probably kill him if she had made chocolate, hitting one of them in the arm, but rather suddenly stopping and shutting her eyes. ]

Yuriko? What's wrong?

I'm fine, I'm just-- Dizzy. I think I'm going to go to the nurse's office. [ 'Yuriko' stood up from the table, her hand supporting her on the desk as she did, her friends looking pretty concerned. She smiles, waving her other hand dismissively. ] I'm fine, I'll be back later. Tell the teacher I went to go rest.

[ With that, she makes it to the door, opens it, and there stands Hiroshi with a bouquet of stargazer lilies. ]

Y-Yuriko!?

[ He clearly wasn't expecting her to open the door right as he was about to come in, but the flowers dropped to the ground as suddenly so did the girl, completely fainting. The video seems to black out at that point.

It doesn't seem like it's done if you keep watching though. About 20 seconds of blank screen later, it looks like the sun is setting in the window of the nurse's office as Yuri starts coming to. Her hair is down now, her ribbon and clip taken off to the side desk along with her reading glasses case and her backpack on the floor next to it. The lilies were sitting there too. She sits up slowly, looking around then looking down at her hands. Obviously something is wrong. The school nurse comes in after a second though and she quickly puts her hands down, looking up attentively at him. ]

Are you feeling any better? It seems like you fainted at lunch time. And on Valentine's Day of all things, poor dear.

[ Yuri looked up at her, there definitely being a different look in her eye than there was before. Instead of that carefree attitude, she looks like she knows something's very, very wrong. ]

I'm fine. I need you to call someone to take me home, just in case I get dizzy again.

[ That wasn't the reason. She had no idea where she was or what was happening, that was the reason. Last thing she remembered was.. well, it was disappearing so that her soul could reincarnate and the person who she became after that could live a happy life. Not suddenly waking up with very vague memories of everything that had happened in this life quickly being forgotten as her old ones start reawakening and she doesn't know why.

The nurse gives her a look because she looks anything but 'fine' right now, but goes to call someone. The video ends after Yuri quickly jumps out of bed and goes through the things next to her, the backpack, trying to find a wallet to figure out what the hell is happening. Why the hell she's pretty sure she's alive and whoever used to be here is fading fast. ]



{{ OOC NOTE: Replies will come after Yurippe gets to her new home. Her time, it'll be a couple of hours later, but consider it real time for anyone replying! It's timey wimey stuff! }}

[ It's been a difficult few days. The time since Battler was saved, since he's been home, had been something of a wonder to Yuri. She hadn't seen him for the first bit of it, since he'd had to deal with the press and the police, but after that they spent their time together, and finally they were able to be together, but it wasn't something that could last forever.

There was nothing holding Yuri here anymore. Nothing worrying her, nothing that she couldn't let go of now. Nothing except the fact that she didn't want to leave Battler, but that.. wasn't a reason to selfishly hold onto a life she didn't have anymore, especially when it meant they would just grow closer and she would end up getting stuck or disappearing in a moment of thoughtlessness the second she stopped actively forcing herself to stay. So as she flickered the video on, it seems like she was having a little bit of trouble coming up with what to say. Something heartwarming? A beautiful goodbye?

No, she should probably just keep it light. Yuri smiles, a warm smile, and waves. She's speaking quietly. It's fairly late at night, after all, though Yuri's fully dressed. ]

It's time. I thought I was going to come up with something really heartfelt to say to everyone, but in the end I don't think there's anything I really held back from any of you. So I'm just going to ask that someone take Battler out for drinks and make sure he doesn't do anything stupid tomorrow. Other than that.. I guess the only thing left to say is thank you.

I'll stick around for a few more minutes to let anyone get anything they want to say to me in.

{{ OOC: Don't worry, there's a way plotted out for Yuri to come back, but she does have to disappear for now. So she totally thinks this is goodbye.. but there'll be another post after a bit! I'll reply to this post for a few days until I post the new one, though Yuri won't remember anyone in that post at first since she'll be alive without her memories yet. I'll explain more then! }}

So I noticed it's getting closer to Valentine's Day, and I thought maybe we should have a party? I know, not everyone's got a date or anything, and that's fine--neither do I, honestly. But we could stand to do something fun, and it's nice and warm on Mirinoi.

Figured I should throw the idea out here now so we can figure out what we'd need.

Merry Christmas, everyone! I can't believe that much time's gone by already. And I'm really glad that after everything that's happened, I made it through to another Christmas.

Yuri, it took me a little bit, but I managed to come through on that present I promised you.

[Teleport: iPad and 3D glasses.]

Hope that's what you wanted!

Oh, and J--I need to head over to your world for a bit. Think you can let everyone know not to panic?

Marvelous, right? I've got a question--one that might be important to the future of my world.

Does this look familiar to you? This battle? Because I think I might have 14 years to avert another massive invasion of my planet.

[Kendrix is in the ruins of her quarters on Terra Venture. There's a lot of broken stuff all around, but the good news is the power's on!]

Well, we got electricity running through the city again--our solar panels worked once we managed to get them past all of the trees. So we're starting to move back in now, and in the mess, I found my iPad.

[She holds it up--the screen isn't just shattered, it's partially crushed.]

I know it's close to the holidays and everything, so that's why I'm asking now--can I get a worldhop to somewhere I can pick up a new one? Despite the whole "other planet" thing, I do have a way to pay, and if all else fails, I promise to pay you back, even if it means I stay somewhere for a bit to help work it off.

I pose a question for everyone who is in the military on the community, or knows people who were in it and/or in a situation where the genders are segregated for the sake of work.

What do you think of fraternization while on duty? Does it work out for you? Or are you in a situation where it's not worrisome to talk to the others? I ask this because Commander Minna recently lifted the order to keep the mechanics from talking with the Witches. I can't say I blame her for her reasons, but is something like this a problem in other worlds?

I'm sorry it's been several days, community! Schoolwork is keeping me dreadfully busy-- not that I'm complaining, of course. But I just had to come and talk about something strange that's happened. Harry and Ron don't remember this place at all! I know this happens sometimes when people leave, but they didn't forget right away, only just now. Has this happened to anybody else's friends?

Okay, that took a lot less time than I thought it would.

So after working pretty much nonstop after I got back and everything--and a certain somebody's Rider War spilling over onto Mirinoi--we managed to get electricity and everything restored to what we're now calling Terra Venture City. We're still working out a few bugs here and there, and the villagers are really helping out--and the other Rangers and I are working hard to act as liaisons between both cultures.

And I've got a few embarassing stories about how things really didn't work out so well at first, but I've been working on cataloguing the native plants and helping figure out nutritional stuff, so I really need a break. What's going on with everyone?

[The video starts on a jungle world, where a team of unmasked Rangers are placing their swords in a stone. Among them in pink is Kendrix's successor. But as the final sword is placed in, the swords glow and release a power, which de-morphs the Rangers and causes the petrified people of the planet to return to life.

But they're not the only ones. A bright light appears, then slowly takes human form and becomes more solid.

It's Kendrix.]

I knew you'd make it here.

Hey, guys. Sorry if I've been mostly absent for a while--it's been really busy here. Also, I got kidnapped. Well, turned into a statue once and the other time, held hostage by the Psycho Rangers very recently.

The Psycho Rangers? Well, they're an evil Power Ranger team that had faced our predecessors, Andros, TJ, Carlos, Ashley, and Cassie. They thought that they'd defeated them, but Trakeena managed to find what was left of them and brought them back. And they were strong. I mostly had to fight Psycho Pink, but they captured most of us. They would have gotten Leo too if Andros hadn't figured out everything that was going on and came all the way from Earth to help. And then Alpha called in the other Rangers! It was amazing. Cassie--the Pink Ranger--fought with me against Psycho Pink. We've never really had something like that before--we've been completely on our own trying to figure this out as we go. Andros was fighting for years before he joined his team, and they'd been Rangers on another team before that. But they had nothing but kind things to say about us.

Sorry if I'm rambling. I'm still excited about everything that happened. They're sticking around for a few days, since they wanted to see how the colony turned out. And we plan on introducing them to the Galactabeasts, so that'll be fun.
