[A small pink haired child appears on  the screen. She peers closely at the camera  and moves quite close. For a  moment all you  can see is her eyes. Then she moves back]

Eeh? What's this thingy?

[She pouts for a few moments before perking up]

Ne, ne! Has anyone her know Ken-chan? Cuz I was lookin for him!

I think I should make this clear before any of you guys get the wrong idea:

( not cut ic )

So, I hope that none of you get the idea that I would bang the latter, rather than the former. If you did, you're either a jealous fifteen year old girl (Birkin) or fucking insane (Wesker).

That is all ♥

Okay, what is this? Where am I? 

Drama Drama Duck. Uh huh. Yeah, not where I'm supposed to be.  

I'm going to take this wild guess and say the name is cryptic and obviously not meant to be taken literally. As amusing as it might be, I can't say I'd find interest in reading what a bunch of ducks have to say. Unless, of course, your "ducks" just happen to be "chicks" which then translates again to the more politically correct "ladies". If that's the case, I'd be interested. Intensely interested.

So, how does this work? Introductions first and then drinks at my place after?   

      
[must sleep. tags will resume in the morning!]

It's getting down to the wire. I know that many of you are growing weary, but we can't stop now! The Shadows we're up against now are very powerful. Not only that, but their lairs appear to be growing more and more complex. It's even more important that you conserve your healing items as you trek through the labyrinth. Hopefully, you have all been saving up the money you've earned from defeating the Shadows in order to pay the fox for its services. Those magic leaves will restore your strength and allow you to fight for longer periods of time.

The next group of Shadows we'll be facing are: Impmon, Suguru Kinniku, Russia, Zechs, Cross, and Dante.

I expect that Trish will want to lead the assault on Dante. I know that Sol has worn him down quite a bit, but I would recommend no less than ten people to take him on. In fact,  I would highly recommend ten man teams for all of these battles. Managing a large group will be difficult for some, but it's the only way to take down these next few Shadows.

Tyki, who would you like to have accompany you to rescue Zechs? I'm willing to offer my aid to you, and I'm certain you can count on Hakuba to help, too.

Remember, if you get into trouble, don't hesitate to run away! This won't work on the more powerful Shadows, but you should be able to escape easily from the weaker ones. Also, Scanners, you should be strong enough by now where you can restore a small amount of health to your team after each battle.

This is all the advice I have left to give you. Use the knowledge you've gained to fight toward victory!

... Uh, so, this really doesn't look like the website for Innocent Sin Online. Did someone take the entire server down and reboot the place into some sort of weird... forum thingy while I wasn't looking or something, or did I just somehow follow the wrong link?

If anyone's around actually on this thing who could help a guy out I'd kind of really appreciate it. Last thing I need is my computer going all funny on me, so... sup, I guess.

Let me make something very, very clear:

I am not going back.

... I'm sorry about my Shadow. If I'd know what that fog did...

Never mind. No use changing it now. I guess I have to actually deal with my feelings now, instead of just ignoring them, huh?

On the other hand, having a Persona is actually pretty cool. Even if mine seems to think he's a disco ball.

[Locked to Rose]
... Sorry.

My, it's been a while since I've seen this place grace my computer screen; not that I'm complaining, mind - it simply comes as a surprise. I won't apologize for being away on business - it turned out very profitable for us, in the end - but I think I missed out on quite a bit, yes?

If I'm going to resettle in, perhaps someone would be kind enough to catch me up on what I've missed?

Now, why am I not surprised this place falls to pieces in my absence? Hmm, and here I thought you would be finding new ways to entertain yourselves. I had no idea you all missed me, I'm touched.

Wright’s presence has been grating on my patience for far too long. One of you come get him, now, or his influence will be forcibly removed.

Secret Fetish revealed!

(( OOC: Purely for teh lolz <3 ))

[A soft humming can be heard before any video feed starts to play. After a few seconds have passed, it slowly opens to a view to of marble bust that resembles a very harsh old man. This view is then changed (as if someone has swiveled the camera) to face a rounded table; adorned with soft toys, plates of decorative desserts and a tea set. The humming continues as a girl in a pretty colored dress skips towards the table. She soon becomes instantly recognizable as Franziska and stops humming once in the camera's sigh. Before leaning backwards, Franziska gives a wave and a smile.]

Oh, duckies~! Willkommen to my little part of the world! [There's a pause.] I'm so sorry about the start, I hope it didn't scare anyone off. [She gives a giggle.] You know, papa always had such a scary looking face, but I guess it must have been one of those silly von Karma trait that I tried so hard to emulate... [She jumps up a bit to change the subject.]

But anyway, I'm so glad you could all join me! I was getting so lonely and so bored playing all by myself. But now that everyone's here, I promise we'll have so much fun! [She picks up one of the plush toys laying about, which looks fairly reminiscent to a friendly blue-suited lawyer everyone knows.] Oh, there are so many games I want to play! It'll be so much fun, everyone please play with me...

[Franziska stands up again, walks towards the camera and bends down slightly. She makes it obvious that her eyes have changed into an unnatural shade of golden yellow.]

Because I really want to play with all of you~

(ooc; i-imagine that tif and told you all that we swapped our dates around. ahahah. /runs)
