With everything that's been going on, I've completely forgotten about Christmas. I hope everyone's having a merry Christmas.

[locked to Nagisa]

Also, it seems like someone wanted to be sure you got a present today. I might have gotten caught up in something strange, but I made sure to put something together for you. And I've got just enough energy to open the Lanes Between to deliver this.

[Nagisa, a glowing portal will open for a moment before depositing a keychain made with black glass beads and pink hearts.]

Sorry if it's not much, but it was the best I could do under the circumstances.

I'm not too sure what to think. These are apparently the Sentai after the Kyoryugers that I've read up on. Any thoughts on them?

Apparently they're a Train-Based series called Ressha Sentai Tokkyuger.

The suits look very showa to me. Like they were lifted from a bit of Bioman actually. But I want to know what the other actual Sentai and Riders think about this new addition to their ranks. And, well everyone else too.

[The audio is kind of muted due to the loud noises being cut out and staggered, but a pair of girls are fighting against a man made of leaves. The giant monster with the huge chin was swiping at them and for a moment it seemed like the girls were smashed under the huge vine.

But then the orange haired girl got up, holding the vine as she and the other exchanged words and in a flash of light, threw it off. Joining hands, the audio cut back in as the pair exclaimed,]

Pretty Cure Twin Stream Splash!

[In a torrent of water, the monster was blasted into what appeared to be little spirits as a orb floated down, and the man with the plant-like motif vanished.

Later on, the violet haired girl is setting up some things in a comfy looking room when she notices her mirror blinking. Poking it, she inquired,] Hello? Is someone there? Hello?

Okay so...

My whole canon just suddenly unlocked itself on the community. And I read up on it annnnnddd...

Does the earth have "Completely and utterly destroyed" insurance set up? Because that's what happens at the end of my battle.

Advice please.

Oh god, I googled myself!

Why did I google myself?!

Has anyone seen or talked to Madoka recently? I'm probably being silly, but I haven't seen the Madoka on here for a while and I just want to make sure she's alright.

Oh, she's stillneedawish, if that helps.

Today has been ridiculous, community. It seems like everything seems to be going wrong.

Things were missing, my computer would barely boot up, and to top it off there has been tiny little tremors.

[Ayumi sighs, rubbing her head as if having a headache.] I don't know how this could possibly get worse--

[And then suddenly her camera starts shaking as the world practically crashes down around her and a yell from outside. And just as abruptly, the shaking stopped as Ayumi clawed her way out from under a pile of books.] Ow... that... that was some earthquake.

[Stumbling to her feet, she called out,] Mom? Was there any damage?

[Getting a muffled answer back, Ayumi turned to the community recording.] The tremors are getting more severe. I don't know how bad it is lately, but I'm worried. I'm going to call the other Precure and see what they're saying.

I'll update you all later, okay?

About a day has passed since the previous video involving Setsuna, but it looks like no time has passed at all in the world itself. It resumes right where the previous one left of, with Cure Peach shaking Eas' body.

But this time the video continues. The plushie looking thing that only appeared in the background of the last video, takes the center stage this time. The crest on her forehead has started to glow. She floats up into the air, calls out and the crest glows even brighter.

A red light swiftly flies into the forest, straight into Eas. The light grows even brighter, to the point of engulfing the whole video.

The light stays like that for a little while. Eventually, though, it does fade. At the same time, the sun is finally breaking through the clouds.

Eas has vanished. Where her body lay before, there now stands a girl dressed in red. She stares at herself, both confused and amazed.

"I'm... a Pretty Cure?" She looks up. "Cure Passion!"

"Setsuna is the fourth...?"

"The fourth Precure!"

Cure Peach smiles widely. "Cure Passion!"

The video cuts off again, this time finished for real.

[OOC note: Red is Setsuna, pink is Love/Cure Peach, blue is Miki and yellow is Inori.

Setsuna will be responding this time, although it will icly be several hours later.]

Hibiki: Catch it, catch it!

Kanade: I'm trying!

[The scene is kind of bewildering at best, watching Hibiki and Kanade run around with butterfly nets, swinging them like crazy in a park. They seem to be catching something, but there doesn't actually appear to be anything there.]

Hibiki: Hah! Did I get it?!

Kanade: You did! Lets get some more!

[And there they go, running around, hollering like maniacs as they're swinging those nets around. Just what are these girls doing? There's nothing THERE. Clearly this is blackmail material right here, as they're having fun swinging nets at invisible things.]

*Nagisa is in a waitress outfit with apron, hiding in her closet.*

Is this virus just supposed to keep us from going out in public, or what?

It could be worse. It could be worse. It could be worse. It could be worse.

Okay, I have everything I need.

[Yayoi seems to be packing her school bag. Looks like it was the mid-holiday check up with the students, and Yayoi looks into the camera and grins.]

Right on time. It's a school day, and we're going to have a Test of Bravery right here in our school! Between you and me, Nao and Miyuki are scared out of their minds right now.

[A wink and she closes the laptop.] Wish me luck!

Looks like Setsuna is once again the victim of being recorded without her knowledge. This time, she's standing in front of a large window, overlooking the inside of a dome. There's a large crowd of people gathered before a stage. It looks like a concert has just started.

Setsuna herself isn't saying a word. She's just standing there for a while, watching. Just as it's starting to look like that's all the video is going to be, she takes a deep breath and presses her hands together.

"Switch... over."

As Setsuna pulls her hands apart again, her appearance changes quite drastically. But the way she looks might not be completely unfamiliar to some people on the community.

She then pulls out a strange, triangular card with a closed eye on it. The edges of the card are frayed. It looks like it parts of it have been torn off already. She throws the card and it flies to the ceiling, attaching itself to an air vent. It glows red and the eye opens.

On Setsuna's hand, a blue symbol with the same eye appears. From it, vines with thorns emerge and they wrap around her arm. She flinches, but shrugs it off quickly, then steps closer to the window and glares at the crowd below.

"Precure! I will defeat you!"

A big wheel-shaped monster crashes down, shattering the window and breaking open a large part of the building. It flies out through the opening and starts shooting out bursts of wind, destroying parts of the concert stage, while the people below scream in fear.

"Now, transform already!"

[ooc: Setsuna will be replying several hours later.]

I must say, this is not something I was expecting to see...

[Ducks, there's a girl here that you haven't seen before... well, not in person, anyway. But she's looking straight at the camera like she knows what she's doing. It looks like she's in a boardroom... what's going on?]

My name is Yotsuba Alice... ah, Alice is my given name, in case some of you are from Western nations. It is very nice to meet you all. [She bows slightly in her executive chair.] Though, I must ask... what manner of place is this? I am gathering it connects people together, but... there are a number of different kinds of people. Too many to be normal, perhaps, and I find myself curious. I have been reviewing the recent entries, and... there are a number of questions I am unable to answer regarding the nature of this community.

Would anyone, perhaps, be able to answer my questions? I would appreciate it.

[Through the smile, there's a little bit of a feeling that it's not really a passing request.]

[Ducks, the view you're seeing is... underwater? There are schools of fish going by, and a great stream of water in the background, with fish dotting it. And floating into the frame... a sunfish, colored a metallic blue, brown eyes shining with amusement. What the hell...?]

Hi, everyone... It's Itsuki. I'm sure you're wondering how I got here... well. I'm not sure myself.

[She turns sideways, showing off her lithe body... and shiny scales, before she circles around and looks at the camera again.]

I have no idea what happened, but... it's kinda nice here. I don't have to fret over the latest drama, or worry about how big my stack of papers is at home. I can just swim around and spend my time in peace... maybe I'll go talk to the turtles again. They're surprisingly worldly, and have some pretty good advice, though they're a little... eccentric. Not that I mind that. I've got an eccentric friend or two myself, so I'm used to it. I kind of wish the others were here, but... [She makes a short, sharp motion up; a fish equivalent of a shrug?] I'll take what I can get.

So... how's everyone else doing? Did anyone else end up somewhere... weird?

((OOC: Itsuki's swapped with Aqua. Aqua happened to be near the world of Finding Nemo, and so when Itsuki gained control... she ended up becoming a sunfish.))

[This is very clearly Nagisa's bedroom: there are a lot of stuffed animals here and on the bed there is one Nagisa. Apparently anyway.]

So... is it strange that I realized that something was wrong first because I woke up on a bed, not because I was a girl? I think that says something about my recent life.

Uh, Nagisa? I think we should probably talk soon.

What are the reasons someone might kidnap all the girls with the same name?

Apparently that's what's going on with 'Yuka's. It's not like Yuka is an uncommon name, either. My girlfriend has it, for one...

Akane-chan and Nao-chan are incredibly good looking together. Even when they were competing it was adorable!

We went to the beach and they were competing for the best food stand that day, and even if it ended with a fight against Red Oni, it was still rather adorable.

Hnnngh, I think I'm shipping my friends now. Someone stop me before I draw fanart...!

The video opens on a battle in progress, starring three very familiar girls fighting against a powerful enemy. It's Dark Precure versus the three Kibogahana Precure... and our heroes are on the losing side. Dark Precure is effortlessly wiping the floor with Cure Blossom and Marine, who have just used their Shining Fortissimo attack. They're blasted back, now unconscious.

A worried Cure Sunshine quickly runs over to where they land, holding on to her teammates. Meanwhile Dark Precure takes out her Dark Tact, ready for her next attack. But before she can do that, something strange happens.

( open my heart! )

[The camera seems to be one of those shaky-cam deals, as Ayumi picks up a item that was glinting in the dirt.] What's this...? It looks like a Cure Decor...?

Poyo?

[Those of the duck, you see an idyllic grassland before you, like something out of Studio Ghibli only it looks even more friendly and cartoonish.

You also see a pink puff with a face; said puff is poking the screen.]

Quack?

...

Quack quack quack!

[A picture of the familiar duck is now up on the screen. Looks like the tablet-like device Kirby was drawing on is now the latest hijacking victim of the community.]
