[Edgar looks thoughtful as his face shows up on screen. He's sitting at a desk, the camera angle showing it's probably an intentional video.] Power can be a funny thing. Depending on the place it can be physical, it can be knowledge, sometimes it can even be magical.

[Then he smiles. His voice is light, as if it's not a heavy topic.] I wonder, with so many worlds, what kind of power is out there. Some of you even have it, as I've been lucky enough to see. Out of curiosity, tell me about some of them.

[ The video opens on the streets of Tokyo, a familiar girl standing in the middle of it - Usagi, in her Sailor Moon outfit that some people might have seen during the time in the zombie mall. Except she's looking quite distressed at the countless of bodies lying around on the street, lying there motionlessly like they are nearly dead. ]

What should I do..?! [ Her voice is tiny but clearly desperate. ] How am I going to rescue them all?! I'm supposed to be the leader, but.. I'm not like the others, I don't have any special powers like them at all.. a coward like me can't do anything at a time like this! [ She glenches the goggles of her outfit that she has in her hands instead of on her face this time, her eyes shut and tears ready to fall from them as she sniffs. ] Without Luna I can't do anything-- help me, Luna, what should I do?!

[ But just as she says that there's a flash of black, and a guy in a tuxedo and a cape grabs her, holding her tight and close to him. He speaks up this time. ] Hang in there, Sailor Moon..! You can do this!

[ Usagi mostly looks surprised, but then her wand - the Moon Stick - seems to appear out of nowhere and she tightly grasps it, her face suddenly filled with determination. ]

Maybe.. I can do this.. [ She steadies herself with help of Tuxedo Mask, and when she speaks a bright light emerges from the stick, engulving everything. ] Please.. bring everyone back to life! Help them!

[ The light grows even more, clearly beyond the normal kind of power a magical girl should have, and once it disappears the people around Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Mask all seem to wake up, even if it's Usagi herself who drops motionlessly in the guy's arms this time, the feed slowly going black as only Tuxedo Mask's voice is still heard, franctically calling out to her. ] Sailor Moon?!

( ooc: usagi will actually be replying to comments, just belated by a few hours icly! )

So Jin and J had intercepted a Metaroid. And this exchange occurred.

Hey... is it weird not to want focus on duty all the time? I just don't see the point of focusing on your job and ignoring the rest of my life, y'know? Dunno.

Maybe I just need a break or something.

G-guys— [ yuugi sounds panicked, and his voice is trembling, like he's on the verge of tears. there's shouting going on in the background, but it doesn't obscure what he says. ] Everyone, I'm really worried... Right now, me and my friends - our lives are definitely in danger here!

[ he takes a deep breath, but explains very frantically, still bordering on hysterical: ] Kaiba-kun invited me and Jounouchi-kun to his mansion, but it was a trap all along... Everything he and his brother have done has been to try to kill us! Grandpa was sent to hospital because of Kaiba-kun, and now we're all stuck in his "Death-T" amusement park. It's insane...! Jounouchi-kun had to fight a real serial killer just to get us through one of the stages, and we've— [ his voice cracks, but he manages to push onwards. ] We lost Honda-kun to that last game...

I... I won't think that we're going to die here, though! Because I have faith in all of my friends... I believe that Honda-kun is still alive, and that the strength of my friends will support me - and... the other me...

[ this seems to be what he was leading up to, because there is an audible pause as he steadies himself. his voice comes out more composed, but a little nervous. ]

I just wanted to confess... Having just told my other friends, it didn't feel right not to say anything. There's... another me... another "Yuugi" that lives inside of me. He's come out a few times, so you might have met him already, but he and I... We'll definitely win this, and we'll come back safely. So, please believe in us!!

[...Summer vacation!!

We all know what that means.

That's right, the beach, everyone wants to go to the beach!! However, Natsume and Haru are attempting to call someone... but... she's still angry at them for tossing her into the water last time they went to the beach.]

Darn! She hung up on me again! That woman!

Is it because the way you suck at inviting people? If you keep calling her continuously, thinking that she'll pick up, then you're wrong! [says a very smug looking Natsume.]

Why don't you call then?!

[Natsume takes out her phone and attempts the same-] Ah! Hello? Shizuku, is that you? I'm your mochi!

[....and she hangs up immediately.....

Suddenly, Sasayan and friends come walking in, talking up a storm. He asks what's wrong with Natsume and Haru, since they both seem down, and after they respond back saying Shizuku is ignoring them, he replies with a "ahaha that's what I thought!" they were puzzled at that, but Sasayan quickly said that he came here to ask Micchan if he wanted to go river fishing. They say that Natsume and Haru should come too, along with Shizuku- but after saying that Shizuku probably won't come, Sasayan is suddenly on the phone with her.]

She said she'll go. [...but how did Sasayan...!!] I'm sorry, I have to go, I'll see you guys tomorrow-

Don't think you've won!

...Huh, why are you guys mad?

[ooc: Instead of spamming everyone's inbox, assume Edgar left a message there, formally inviting all of you to a celebration, complete with the date (Sunday in the community time) and an address.]

I hope all of you have received my invitation, and I hope you forgive me for not sending out the proper, handwritten versions.

If you would like to confirm, or if you have any questions, I'd be happy to listen now.

[Well, Sasayan is practically hunched over on top of his bed, grasping his stomach. What was going on here- did he eat something or...? Whatever the case was, he wasn't feeling too hot, and the community is catching this all the while.]

...urgh...please tell me it's over already...I don't want to be here longer...

[He tries to get up to get out of the room, but a sudden flash of pain came across his face as he falls to his knees right at the side of his bed. This was bad news- what had he done to deserve something like this in the first place? He was practically sweating due to how hot he felt. And it soon became apparent that he noticed the community recording this all the while.]

...aw man...really...? H-Hey, a-anyone over there...d-do you think you could help me out? T-This sickness is killing me and I...ugh...

[What was going on? He really did hope someone could come over and help him out...because, for some reason, he felt like he needed someone by his side... but whatever the reason was, he'll be making a motion of "come over here, please".]

[Kirika...sounds very eager as she practically yells into the microphone.]

Hey, magical girls! I'm tired of you walking around strutting like you own the place. Friendship? Love? It's funny that you think that's what you're really fighting for...

Hey, you know what?

Let's have a fight. All you have to be is a magical girl and I'll fight you. It'll be real easy to put you liars out of your misery!

[Kira's phone hits the floor hard, the camera rattling for a moment as it starts up. The view is really just of the floor, a wall, and a pair of feet, but there's a lot of banging around.  His voice is rather highpitched, in comparison to his usual low, level speech, for anyone who has heard it, anyway.]

"Come on, Izuru, come drinking with us", why would I want to do that?!  It's always the same, every time I wake up somewhere strange without pants...!  "You have to come to your party, everyone's there waiting just for you", I never asked for one, how do you people even know my birthday?!  Who just goes ahead and does that without permission, huh?  And the whole time it's "Izuru, Izuru", when did I say it was alright to use that name?  Just because he did?  That's not a good reason, you can't say no to the captain, but now it should be 'Kira-fukutaichou' to everyone, show a little more respect...! They all just think 'Kira's a doormat, let's walk all over him, he'll do whatever we want', but not anymore...!!

[He tosses a bottle of sake to the floor.]

I can be assertive, I can be a better leader than that...stupid...

[And he slowly gets down and curls up, hugging his knees. His back's to the camera, but the way his shoulders shake, either he's shaking with rage, or crying.  Maybe both.]

[So. Half of the Go-Busters was under the impression that Ryuji was dying due to Jin making a joke to a overprotective Mother Hen known as Gorisaka Banana. Which led to this.]

( the convo )

Which lead to this.

( the end result )

[Which lead to Ryuji chasing Jin and J after them in his giant robot monkey.]

( Read more... )

[We can't make this up. Really.]

Why do they bother teaching us anything before summer? I mean, it's not like we're gonna remember anything when we get back...

[Looks like things have gotten really hectic for Sasayan in the past couple of days. In fact, here's a video to illustrate what happens to him and his friends when they go shopping to build a rooster house.]

( and this is what happens when you encounter your local bullies )

[It's a long video post, seemingly all done during the course of the evening to the night. Negi is caught off guard by vampire thralls initially but he is prepared with a bunch of stuff. However the Blackout had rendered Evangeline's power containment to 0 thus a massive magical showdown.

When the dust settled and Asuna had joined the fight, the day was done and Negi was left holding a naked Evangeline in his arms.]

Evangeline: ... why did you save me?

Negi: Eh? B-Because... Evangeline-san is one of my students, right?

Evangeline: ... /blush/ Idiot...

[After landing, he laughed loudly, all that nervous tension draining instantly.]

Negi: Ehehehe.... well, I guess this really is my victory! So you have to stop doing bad things from now on... and start attending my classes!

Evangeline: ... Fine. It's true I owe you a debt for today.

[But Negi didn't stop there as he pulled out his school roster.]

Negi: All right! I'm going to write "I won!" in the class roster!

Evangeline: !!!

[It all dissolved into chaos from there.]

The culture festival is coming up. [ He sounds a little embarrassed, but he really does want to invite all his friends okay!! :T ] I'll be working in the bazaar for a few hours during it, but...

Anyone who wants to come is invited, if you guys can get worldhops. It'll be two weeks from today. So.. March 18th on community time.

Um...I have something kind of personal to ask so feel free to just ignore this or respond anonymous like I am...

Okay. So.

What was your first kiss like?

Ah, this is so embarrassing. I just mean like...how long were you with someone before you kissed? Did you ask about doing it or did you just go for it? Was it good or horrible?

...I guess that's more than one thing...

Sorry.

Is this how you work it? I really need some-oh, it's on! Great! It was getting frustrating after a while, but it...looks like the video on this thing is working.

[And so the face of a spikey-haired boy comes into view, his face showing signs of excitement.]

Ciaossu! Listen, there's a problem here. See, this place keeps on popping up on my computer, and I've tried several times to make it go away. But, it just won't! I really don't know what to think about it.

Anyways, it's really starting to clog up my computer by this point, and I'm wondering if there is any way to just make it go away. What is this place supposed to be, some sort of...social network site? This is all sounding way too familiar with what Natsume-san does.

...oh, right! I forgot about it. Ahem, my name is Souhei Sasahara, but my friends call me "Sasayan", so feel free to call me that. If you have any idea on how to help me, please let me know! If it doesn't go away then... [A bit of despair seemed to flash on his face at that point, quickly replaced by his usual grin.] Thanks, you've been helpful!
