[Please do not be disturbed by the filtering from the Peregrine Mendicant Marina, it is for a good cause~]

Good afternoon Marina.

I surely hope you have not grown tired of celebrations and festivities for there is another occasion that we simply cannot overlook: as you may recall, back in 71st Day of this generation, the hard work of our fellow inmate, the Peregrine Mendicant, has given birth to the Marina Postal Office.

Mrs Jennifer Shibuya, Hiling Care and myself would therefore like to invite you all, inmates old and new -- to a little surprise teatime gathering to be held at the Postal Office tomorrow, right when the Peregrine Mendicant comes back from making her rounds. Cakes, pies and tea -- hot and iced -- shall be served.

We also welcome any assistance with regards to setting up decor, tables and chairs for we only have a small window of time to get everything set up before she comes back.

Again, this is a surprise for our dear parcel mistress, so we would like to ask you not to tell her of this~

Should you have any further questions, I am at your service. Thank you very much for your time.
 

[There's not much point in pretending anymore, really... everyone really does seem to be from some other world, as strange as it is to admit. And if anyone from the Fire Nation were here, they would be just as lost as Katara. So she drops the pretense.]

My bending isn't working right. I can't do a thing to the water outside the dome. Is it supposed to be that way?

[Day 74: A drastically more peaceful day, though with all the new people, she fully intends to do some PR and promotional work. Perhaps letter writing will soothe the confused and angry? But, the most important part first: the route! She's... a little skeptical about a package's sender, but she sees nothing wrong with it no matter how much she inspects it, so...]

To all our new arrivals: greetings and welcome! This is your parcel mistress, the Peregrine Mendicant. I wish to bring your attention to the existence of the Post Office, which is here to serve all your delivery needs. If you have never mailed a letter or package before, or come from a world without any postal service to speak of, please feel free to call me or come by the Post Office for more information. I look forward to meeting all of you!

[Mail submissions for Day 75 go here!]

[ He's seated on the edge of a rooftop. His night vision is fine, more than fine actually. He can see anything and anyone clearly without the help of lights. The few days Shiba's been in Marina are blurred together. Just one interesting thing after another. He had chuckled at the newcomers in the morning. To think that he had been in their position just a few days ago. ]

[ But the real highlight of the day was Sakura. Shiba flicks on his lighter, the tiny flash of light startling against the darkness. Poor thing. He'd have to see her tomorrow and maybe catch her in the morning when no one else was around. There'd be no murderous guardian with knives and while that was no fun, it made things a little easier for him.]

[ For now he'll sit here with his cigarette and watch for somebody to come by. ]

EDIT: warning. now with plushie violence. |D

[It's time, now. Jun would be lying if he said he wasn't nervous about this--the consequences if he fails are disastrous--but now's the time to shove it aside.

He's sent a message to Lavi, Allen and Naoya, and he's waiting in one of those empty fields in Sector 6, away from any buildings. He shifts from foot to foot, playing with his communicator in his hands.

Normally, people aren't so literal about the phrase 'facing your demons'.]

[ooc: As a note, this post is just going to contain big hairy spoilers for Devil Survivor, particularly it's Amane-route. D:]

[There is a face on the video which may be familiar to some. His eyes are a little red, as though he has been rubbing at them excessively, and he looks entirely exhausted. But the frown proves that once again, Uchiha Sasuke has returned to the asylum.]

Tch.

[Those who understand how Sasuke communicates may interpret this as not this shit again.]

Itachi. Where are you?

((OOC: Sasuke retains all memories from Marina.))

((OOC again: Itachi is still alive at the time of this broadcast. ;;))

[As usual, Lacus is smiling. Even amidst the chaos of yesterday, she managed to steal away a few hours to work on a special surprise for a dear friend.]

[Excitedly, she holds up a lavender haro -- for those who haven't seen them floating around, haros are spherical robots with round arm flaps and flashing eyes that bounce and float about and make adorable comments in colored font. They vary in size from softball to basketball, and this one is somewhere in between, and flapping away, and already it has something to say in a high-pitched, tinny voice:]

Yoo-fee! Yoo-fee!

[Lacus giggles a little.] She wants to say hello to you, Euphie. But she's still learning your name, since her speech programming was only just completed.

I hope you like her!

[….bathroom. She'd been out walking, and had needed one. So what if she’s never used any of the ones in the scho--education building? They aren’t any different than the ones in the shelter—there isn’t even anyone here. No one cleans these personally; it’s all the little robots that bustle about on a regular basis. There is nothing frightening about this room.

She’s still frozen a bare three steps into it, not even past the first sink on the wall. And she can’t move—not even her eyes, which are frozen on the handicapped stall on the end of the row. It’s the sound of ceramic breaking that finally breaks her paralysis. A few more tiles fall off the wall to join the first, cracking apart on the small patch of inexplicably exposed concrete. It’s when the rust bleeds across the mirror that she finally turns and flees out the door, hand clamped over her mouth.]

['I can't get rid of what they did.'

'You never can. You just decide if that's all you are. If that controls you or if you're more than that.'

'Too late.'']

[Too late.]


(((OOC Info: The bathroom now looks something like this. Feel free to stumble across it and feel a remarkable sense of foreboding--it is a sign of what's to come tonight. Event-style posting is welcome, as Alessa won't be here to interact with anyone.)))

Er... I have something to report. Well, Jennifer asked me to report it, anyway...

Some of you know about the party being planned for the Peregrine Mendicant tomorrow. Jennifer asked me to report that Kefka is insisting on going to the party and asking if there are going to be children there.

... Considering that he's sent raw meat to the house, and threatened to kill people in front of Jennifer, she asked me to make sure that there are Defense Force members at the party.

That's all, I guess.

[The fan helped the drying go faster after he put on the last touches. It took several days, but the painting is now complete. Now he has to fulfill his agreement.]

Kamui. It's finished.

[Someone doesn't know there are three of them around.]

[ the video opens to a wide picture of... a little girl. she doesn't look more than 10 years old, and she can be seen sitting down in a room, kicking her legs while addressing the communicator. as she kicks, the rattle of a chain can be heard, like what you would hear from someone who is restrained.

of course, this little girl cannot possibly be restrained, right? wrong. ]

Uuu? Summoned Maria? Who summoned Maria? "Acumen"?

"Acumen" is a very powerful wizard to summon Maria. The anti-magic toxin is very strong here.

Is Sakutaro also here? Uuuu-uu, Sakutaro? A small lion with a red muffler that Maria gave him. Tell Maria if you see him, okay?

[Being ambushed sucks.]

[Especially after hitting the club.]

[It's not like Faith's drunk or anything, but she wishes she had stayed away from the last three bottles. There had only been one lizard at first when she stepped outside and she had dispatched it quickly enough with her knife. But then it screamed while it died and fuck that must've been a stupid SOS signal because now there was a whole herd. what she wouldn't do for a shotgun.]

Shit. [breathlessly. she hasn't been at this big of a disadvantage ever since- flicks on the 'voice'.]

Stay inside unless you want to get chewed on. Goddamn motherfuckers.

_{[Nana's usually good about staying inside when it's night time, but sometimes her restless little mind can't sleep. When that happens, Nana likes to take walks. She's good and doesn't bother anyone, quiet as a mouse, but tonight is different. Tonight isn't safe like other nights. No, tonight the dome is gray scale and everything is terrifying. Especially the creatures roaming about the place and the strange stuff falling from the sky.]}

Why...Why are the colors gone? The- _{[Are they monsters? That's what they are, aren't they?]} The scary things...They won't leave Nana alone-! Papa! _{[A reflexive cry, of course, since Papa isn't here and hasn't been for awhile. Still, she screams, running as best she can and trying not to fall into the gaping holes in the street in an attempt to reach home as fast as possible.]}
