[Himiko stares down at the device in her hands, confusion on her face.]

What is this? DramaDramaDuck? Why's it on - wait.

[A mischievous smile spreads across her face, only to be quickly masked by faked nonchalance. She glances away and the camera shakes as she gestures with the device.]

Wow, my life has been soooo simple since that irritating community broke my connection. Yup, things have been positively boring. Good thing it will never, ever find me again...

[She pulls out her own phone and flips it open. Immediately the video switches to the other device, and she grins.]

I thought that would work. Hey guys, miss me? Its Himiko. Anything interesting happen in the last two months?

Since you don't seem to mind, it's nice to see that you're back.

[poison_puppet]

Mind? I love this place! Just don't let it know that!

[makewayforroze]

[She gives a soft laugh.] I'm sure it already knows.

[poison_puppet]

But then I might lose it again! (And after all the trouble I went through to find it...) I'll have to make sure I'm super irritated at the next virus I get hit by.

[makewayforroze]

It's very strange. It's been a long time since we've had a virus.

[poison_puppet]

Maybe the com's run out of ideas?

[makewayforroze]

It's possible.

How long as the community been around?

[chimeranomore]

Apart from not apparently having viruses until today? Not much.

Good to see you again.

[poison_puppet]

Huh. Looks like I got back in time, then!

Good to see you too, Zel. I've missed talking to you.

[chimeranomore]

I suppose so. If arriving right when we have our first virus in months is "in time".

Oh. Well, thanks.

[poison_puppet]

Well, I wouldn't want to miss out on all the fun!

...that and if I get hit with a virus the community is less likely to ignore me again. I missed everyone a bunch. It was scary thinking that I'd never talk to you guys again.

[chimeranomore]

Himiko... [That wasn't an answer he was expecting.] Don't worry, it seems like you're never getting rid of us.

[poison_puppet]

I hope not!

[drjackal]

Lady Poison, it's a pleasure to see you here.

[poison_puppet]

Akabane?! What are - When did the community find you?

[drjackal]

Oh, about a month I would say. I was told that you had once been here as well as myself. Although, I have no memories of ever finding this place.

[poison_puppet]

That happen sometimes when you lose connection with this place. I guess...its a lot simpler that way. Means you don't remember all the friends you won't be able to talk to again, or the family you've made.

But you could have told me about it. I've been trying to get my connection back for the last two months.

[drjackal]

A member from the community had told me I was previously here. I'm not pleased to have my memory tampered. I want to know what was said and done. I had also been informed you were once part of the community, and yet I never heard you once mention it. Or if you had...those memories had been tampered as well.

[poison_puppet]

I can tell you about it, if you want. My memory's kind of hazy on the details but there was some important stuff that happened.

Do you really want to know, though? I figured, after you forgot, that anything I might say would just hurt more...or you'd think I was crazy.

[heavenlyhome]

Welcome back, Himiko-san! I don't believe we've been introduced. My name is Tendou Kasumi. It's a pleasure to meet you.

[poison_puppet]

Hey, Kasumi! I remember you, though I don't think we've ever talked.

[heavenlyhome]

Oh, do you? I'm sure we've seen one another at some point, as you have been here before. How have you been?

[poison_puppet]

Busy. I've had a few missions a week, so many that at first I didn't even notice when the community disappeared from my computer.

[heavenlyhome]

Your job sounds very involving. I hope it has not found you again at an inconvenient time?

[poison_puppet]

No. I really missed this place, once I had enough of a break to realize it was gone. And its never really gotten in the way of a job before.
