[James is sitting in his room cleaning his broomstick when his book fell open. He looked quite sullen and only noticed the book after he'd finished with the broom and placed it back in his trunk. He sighed and picked it up.]

Guess I haven't been paying you enough attention. [Damn this community sometimes.] At least I have some news to tell. Seems like Peter's access has been cut.

[Another sigh and he tries to close the book. It refuses so he leaves it open on the side and finishes putting away the cleaning equipment.]

[Touma can be seen sitting up on what appears to be a very high location in a city. For those who know where he lives, he's on the roof access of his apartment building just enjoying the fresh air. Behind him is a pile of books that he's apparently been reading while he's been up there.

But for now he's messing around on a laptop computer.]

Hey, Makoto, you should let me know when you're free. I think anytime would be a good time for baseball currently. We'll be short on players but it will still be fun to hit a ball around if nothing else.

[He does something else then sets the computer aside so he can stretch out on his back. Now everyone has a nice profile of him while he relaxes.]

The weather is pretty nice today. Though I guess Nasuti would say that most people would think it's cold.

[Awakening on the Bright Win didn't do much for the senses. Nor did the sudden ability to see... things. She knew those passageways, didn't she? Was that where she needed to go? Could this be some weird psychic ability?

...she'd almost have missed the laptop if it hadn't been for the brightness of the screen. What was this? Some... kind of computer? It was pretty small. A portable computer, then. And it looked like it was connected to that internet thing she'd heard about. Fiddling around didn't turn up much else beyond the site it was open to. Oh nuts. Looks like this duck place was her only hope.]

Is anyone online right now? I'm not sure what happened, but I think there must have been an accident. I don't know the number exactly, but can someone help me find a way to contact Kameishino Prefectural Junior High School? I don't know where there's a phone here... But I can look, if someone will help me find the number. I think the ship might only have radio though. I'll have to find a way off of it to find a phone.

Thank you very much in advance!

[She could hear someone moving behind that door. Best not to make a sound. She really hoped this thing wouldn't make any sort of noise when she got a response.]

( "Sob. Le canon updates are so wordy looking," you say! I can assure you I write like an idiot. It's not that bad! Still if this appears TL;DR I've happily provided: video clips! HURRAAAAY. Now to your regularly scheduled text walls: )

[ OH ME OH MY. It's a two part special! Everyone it's time to look at Steve trail behind during this training. MOVE MOVE and he's in the back all wheeze in his oversized helmet. Anyway they stop in front of a flag marking the halfway point of this running. DRILL SERGEANT GUY alerts the men that anyone who can get that flag off the pole gets a ride back in the truck with Agent Carter, who is that lovely woman sitting shotgun. ;D Hey hey.

They FAIL miserably trying to climb that flagpole. Too bad Mulan didn't come out yet. Wheezy Steve, however, gave this one look before he unscrewed the flagpole and let it fall over. He calmly picked that flag up, handed it to the Sergeant with a polite 'Thank you, sir' and climbed on in the truck. SEE YA LOSERS. ]

[ BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE and it's not the montage! Cue the team doing push-ups (Steve doing miraculously horrible at it) while Agent Carter supervises and says hilarious things like her dead grandmother does them better. BUT WE'RE IN ON SOMEONE ELSE'S CONVERSATION---- What what? Yeah I know. Accented Science Guy and Agent K The General, we'll call them. The General is basically pointing out the hilarity of bringing a 90 pound asthmatic to his army base whywouldyoupickhim? WE SHOULD PICK THE BIG GUY. Science Guy states The Big Guy is ~a bully~ ]

[ The General almost snorts and states: ] You don't win wars with niceness, doctor. You win wars with guts. [ And he pulls the pin out of a grenade and throws it at the team :| ] Grenade!

[ OH SH-! Everyone moves and ducks and covers!
...Minus Steve who dived on top of the thing and warned everyone to get way. Turns out it's a dummy grenade. No boom? Steve is confused. ] Is this a test?

[ Accented Science Guy is smug looking about his choice and The General can't argue now. ":| He's still skinny." ]

So.

What exactly is so interesting about ponies?

[ so on this screen is a spirit some of you may know and recognize, yet there's something distinctly different about him. or perhaps two things that are different. the difference is obvious, too, as he's sitting there and poking at them. ] ...There's no other virus going around now, is there?

[ poke. poke. wow, they're so squishy. squishier than Sakuya's, no doubt (although that thought may be due to his own newfound pride in these assets). ] Oi, someone tell me how long this'll last.


[ ooc: Issun has been genderbent due to the apple plot and Kefka's meddling! all replies will come from drawscherrybombs. ]

[The camera flicks on to show Lyall in a shocking state of undress- which is to say that his jacket is draped over the back of his chair and his sleeves have been rolled up to expose his forearms. Dreadful.

Even more unusual is the expression of mild irritation on his face.]

I must say that it is quite a blow to have half a century's collection of samples wiped out in such a short period of time.

It will take another five decades to build it up again, and of course they will be different-

[He cuts himself off, rubbing his forehead.]

Well, I suppose there's nothing to be done for it.
