[There is a stereotypical businessman working at his computer. For our purposes it doesn't matter what he looks like, because very soon a hand taps on his shoulder.

The guy looks around and immediately scrambles away. The hand belongs to one man with sharp teeth and devil wings... as well as a very silly outfit but you be the judge on that one.

The devil tsks.] You lied to Saint Peter. You told him your girlfriend was dying in the hospital and you wanted to be there for her when she passed away. Which is sort of true, except it's your ex-girlfriend who you hadn't seen for two months.

[The businessman is stammering something but the devil goes on.] Peter's a sucker for sob stories and he let you come back to life, and for the two weeks from then until now you didn't go near that hospital. Well, guess what? She's dead, and your time is up.

Now, you were kinda borderline before this. You cheated on your wife, you stole from your company... But that was a pretty big lie you just told. So, guess what?

[He leans in close to the man's face with a grin full of teeth.] You're going to Hell, man.

[The man gives an unearthly wail as fire consumes him, leaving nothing but his clothes and his computer. The devil sighs and starts picking up his possessions.]

Getting rid of their stuff is the worst part... eh, what's this blinky light mean? [He presses random buttons on the computer, and one of them cuts off the recording.]

Ducks. Ducks. Duck!

Is that you?

**%!!!! Hi!

Are you a tea drinker?

Are you a tea?

[OOC: I am super sorry but I need to delay tagbacks while I work out how that last plot resolved exactly. Sorry about this, my bad!

OKAY NOW WE'RE GOOD sorryyy]

[ the video starts in mid-conversation. In a chapel, Bernkastel stands on top of an altar covered with golden roses, her shoes crushing the petals underneath.The same roses fill the interior of an open casket in front of the altar. Strangely enough, there’s no one in it — just a single bound book.

There are also two strangers standing in front of the altar: a man in blue and another person in red. ]

I didn't come here because I wanted to.

We're wasting time, so let's move onwards. [ a pause. Bernkastel smiles. ] Wright. Try and beat this game. As the Game Master, Bernkastel, I invite you to join this game.

[ The man — Will — looks annoyed. ]

I refuse.

[ Bernkastel’s smile doesn’t waver. ]

Why?

I'm retired now. Reasoning and mysteries aren't my business anymore.

How do you intend to spend the rest of your life? Is Wizard-hunting Wright going to give up witch hunting?

Oh, there's fox hunting and clam hunting. I didn't come here to discuss the rest of my life with you.

( so, you came here to refuse? )

[Video]
[A girl in a strange dress with too many ribbons appears on the screen. Her expression's briefly surprised, and then she points her finger at the screen accusingly.]

Oh, come on, why did you ditch me, Drama Drama Duck? You should've known you'd want me back!  There isn't any comparable products to Super Uber Lambdadelta brand. Even if you replace me for the newest model, it won't be the same. You can't tell me you'd already gotten bored of me! Well, I see you saw the error in that since I'm back.

It's Feburary here already? Awww, I missed Valentine's Day already!  A wonderful day for stuffing yourself with chocolate until you get sick of them and then some more, and I missed it. I'll have to make up for it. All the more chocolates! Mountains of them! [Chocolates begin raining around the girl as she continues speaking.] Ahh, my mouth's watering already! Though I don't regret missing out on that red string virus. There's only one for me, you know!

[She leans back in her ridiculously over-ruffled pink chair, relaxing.]

I'm seeing some new faces, so I'll introduce myself. I'm Lambdadelta, the Witch of Certainty and the strongest witch around. I'm a really fun girl if you get to know me!

[Action]
[Hey, Bernkastel? There's a hill of neatly, carefully wrapped Valentine's chocolates waiting for you. All of it lovingly homemade with magic. The pile is so huge that it'd pass more for a large store display than a gift left for someone. A note's been left with familiar handwriting on it, "To My Belated Valentine~ ☆(⌒▽⌒)☆ <3"

Guess what? Most of the chocolates aren't even trapped in any way! Lambdadelta's in that good a mood.]

[ The post starts with Yuri raising both hands in front of the video, showing off her rather obvious lack of a string. She's not affected by this one. (Thank god, she would've been pissed about it.)

Right now she's just decided to give a rude little PSA to everyone. ]

Hey, morons! Stop asking what the hell a string is doing on your finger when there are like 50 other people who asked too. Either check out the other posts or stop complaining.

Anyway, why are so many of you shocked about this? Aren't there a ton of Japanese people on here? For those of you who aren't: It's said that God tied red strings to people who are destined to meet in some way. Two people connected by the red thread are destined lovers regardless of time, space, or anything else. It's basically like a soulmate.

In other words, it's pretty stupid since all of that corny crap isn't real to begin with and the gazillion posts about it are flooding my page. Anyone have anything interesting to talk about?

[ Sorry guys, even if Yuri's involved now... she's still not that interested in this kind of thing. At least if she thinks it's not real to begin with and especially when she thinks someone, even the community, is trying to toy with something as important as caring for others. That is to say.. maybe she's even a bit ruder than usual because this is actually pissing her off. ]

Stupid. [ And the video cuts off. ]

Good afternon, everyone.

I apologize in advance for my lack of experience with online communities, but this is the first time that I expose myself in such enviroment. If I say something that is against the forum's etiquette, please do let me know.

That being said, I should introduce myself. My name is Lilly Satou, I'm from Japan and I'm currently studying in Yamaku's private High School. It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance.

Since this community seems to rely on questions and help, from what I heard, I only have a little one: is it true that some of you come from various worlds, not just from Earth? I would find that to be rather fascinating to know. Forgive me if this was already asked before, and it is none of my business, I am merely curious.

Utena-sama can't get on the community anymore.

[Anthy is back to her normal teenage body, complete with high school uniform. Unlike normal, her hair is out, waves of purple falling past her waist. She's in the dorm room she and Utena share (again, or perhaps still), lying on her back on the bottom bunk. But these are all secondary considerations.

Because she's screaming. A high, scraping sound that seems like it's being pulled out of her.]

[The young girl on the screen shares Anthy's coloring- but with hair that's genuinely short rather than tightly contained. She's wearing a simple, tunic-like bright red dress. Around her is a room that's fairly recognizable as a dorm, even if you're not familiar with Ohtori.

She's staring openly at the camera- nervous, even a little afraid, but curious still.]

Ducks are very cute!
