Conrad, Josak. I'm sure you must be aware of the situation, but I'm reporting this in case you might have missed the rumors.

Yesterday at night I ran into a troublesome situation: There was a dense fog and a horde of puppets were attacking an inmate. We tried destroying them with fire magic, but it was futile- puppets kept appearing out of nowhere. I've been listening to the network and several inmates apparently fell victims to the fog and the monsters, but no one seems to know what originated them or where do they come from.

I'm warning you so that you stay alert. [Especially you Conrad, since you are Yuuri's guardian.]

So, I was thinking that tonight maybe we should have a sleepover. You know, like a really big, all of us sleepover. Probably in the shelter. Our house isn't really big enough for all of us. But I thought then we could have fun and everyone could be together and safe in case it happens again.

We could have games and snacks and tell bedtime stories and whatever else you're supposed to do during sleepovers.

[Kind of a long pause and his voice isn't so upbeat anymore, but he tries not to make it overly sad either.]

And for anyone who is friends with Murata or Muraken if he got you to call him that...

I don't know if you saw the list of all the people who are gone today, but he's on it, and I don't think it's a mistake.

[Nunnally and Lelouch are in the pet cafe making good on that promise to get a "guard animal" for her. In theory she can get almost anything she wants (monkeys excluded of course) though she intends to find Anastasia. The poor bunny must miss them terribly...though it's very hard not to get distracted. Case in point: there's a lovely little dragonet perched on one of the arms of Nunnally's wheelchair receiving most if not all of her attention right now.]

[There's another reason for this outing of course...they need to find gifts for certain upcoming birthdays. Nunnally knows what she's getting for Shirley, but what do you get someone who probably doesn't want anything?]

So, um...does anyone really know what those things were last night? With the fog? They were kind of scary...

[Akito hadn't slept well last night, and since this is kind of his second day on little sleep, he sounds tiredish. But he tries to banish it for this part]

And um. With the festival that was on yesterday...it's nearly July, if it's that, right? So...I think tomorrow might be my birthday. I thought maybe could organise something...since having something fun would be good for everyone, right?

I was thinking of having something at the arcade, so more people could come, and there'd be games and stuff...

[the voice that comes through is young and soft, too young for the words that are spoken or the bitter but resigned tone that accompanies them.]

Never imagined this was the kind of judgment I'd receive in the end.

[there's a scoff, though he seems too tired to put much vitriol into it.]

What a joke.

[and then a long moment of silence, as if he doesn't know just why he turned the communicator on in the first place.]

Where's the library in this place?

[ooc: Orange is Minako and purple is Miranda. :3 Both girls will respond to tags! unless Miranda dies of embarrassment ]

[all you can hear is first is this persistent - banging noise. As if someone's trying to break down a door knocking on a door.]

Mirandaaaa, come out! Please please please?

[Then the video turns on and Minako winks at the screen. She doesn't say anything though - she just puts a finger to her lips. ]

A-All right! J-Just...ummm...let me...

[tapping her feet impatiently!!!]

O-O-Okay, umm...I'm coming out...but I r-really think this isn't my size...

[And Miranda slowly pokes her head out behind the door to the changing room.]

Don't hide! Let me see!

[ Clearly Miranda wants to do anything but that, but she pushes open the door all the way reluctantly. The outfit she's wearing is something that the timid Miranda would probably never ever wear in her life - but it looks stunning on her anyway. The two-piece suit fits her tightly, clinging to her bust and her thighs.]

Th-There...see? I-It's very...

[And she gets automatically cut off by Minako's squeal of approval.] There! It's perfect! You look great Miranda!

[ then she turns and smiles at the screen. ADDRESSING ALL WHO'S WATCHING]  Right??
