So, um, how do you get people to listen to you?

[Setting: the school gates of a well to do private boy's school. Actors: a tall, handsome, dark haired young man in plain clothes who has his arm around the shoulders of a green haired student in his school uniform. Other students mill around, whispering in groups.

The dark haired man proclaims enthusiastically:] And here we are, Aki-kun! Isn't it great, your first day of school? I can show you to your classroom.

[The green haired student tries to placate him:] It's okay, oniichan. You really don't have to--

[The dark haired man steps away and grabs his hands.] I don't want you to get lost. Remember that one time, at the playground?

That was in grade school!

[The murmuring of the students grows louder.] Is that Sakamoto-sama? It must be. Who's that with him? That uniform, could it be-- his younger brother?

Oniichan-- [The green haired student protests as his older brother tries to drag him through the gates, only to be stopped by a chorus of voices from the upper classmen:] Sakamoto-sama!

[The change is almost instantaneous: the dark haired man stands poised and perfect under the scrutiny of the current students of his alma mater. The green haired student looks around the gathering crowd frantically, as if he can't believe his eyes. They're bursting with excitement and, bowing to them? R-really? Is this really happening?]

Sakamoto-sama! It's the second coming of Sakamoto-sama!

How do you make somebody happy when they're convinced that they don't deserve it, probably because there are some people out there who want them to believe that?

[See a confused face brighten just a little when the video starts--]

Wow. So, uh, there really is somethin' on this thing to talk to, huh? And it looks like there's even a lot of you guys. That's amazing! Though I really thought Sanzo and Hakkai were talkin' to themselves for a while there...

Ah! Say, what's this Community thing about, anyway? It's different from anythin' I've seen before.

[The video ahead is actually a series of brief clips focusing on Lancer and his brand new life of luxury. Or life with Lord Akeldama and the Drones.]

( cut for numerous clips )

I think the universe has some sick joke about me and wells.

I mean come on! Three times it's happened. Falling down a well once is bad enough, but three times.

This doesn't happen to anyone else, does it?

We did it! The Lights of Orion chose us! Now, we've got more than enough power to defend Terra Venture from Scorpius.

...I have to admit that I feel bad for Magna Defender, though. I know, the last time I posted, I was screaming about him. But since then, we learned that he's this way because Scorpius killed his son, and he wants revenge. I'm glad that he can't get it, since he's gone way too far. But I hope this can help him find some peace. Maybe losing the Lights will give him some perspective.

I was just wondering, um, because I'm still not sure what's going on... Has anyone ever made a guide? Or, ah, a FAQ or something I can look at? If not, I mean, it would be really helpful, right?

Edit There is one, actually, um, by Dr Fosterover here. It's really helpful! But, I thought, maybe, people might have some things to add. So, I guess, what else do you think should be on it?

I narrowly managed to get the girls to pass. And my job is safe. I'll be their homeroom teacher starting the Spring Semester. No thanks to the book, which DID turn out to be a super legendary book, but it belonged to the Headmaster. Between the Language-Twister and the 3 days of studying, ending up with everyone stripped down to their skivvies, it was kind of a bad thing.

But now I face another problem: can anyone take me shopping? It's almost Asuna-san's birthday and I need to get her a present. That, and get some new clothing. Konoka would but she's busy right now. If I need a worldhop or if you have one, I could use a pickup too.

Excuse me, community.

Have any of you heard of someone called "the Priestess of Genbu" or the "Celestial Warriors"?

Or- of worlds inside books?

Ah, excuse me? [The video opens on a dark haired girl, wearing a white dress. She looks pretty ordinary and there's a polite smile on her face.]

I was hoping someone might explain this place to me. I don't really use sites like these, so I'm a little confused why it showed up out of the blue. Is this normal? And is there any way to make it go away?

Oh, I'm Setsuna Higashi, by the way. It's nice to meet you all.

Oh, wow, there sure are a lot of accounts here. Um. I'm not really sure what this is but... hi? My name's Sakamoto Akira, and, I guess, since a lot of people are asking questions. What's your school like? Or, er, was.
