[ her tone is gentler than usual, as she's trying quite hard not to offend anyone ]

People are seriously- seriously managing to leave this prison and no one's recording it. Really, I think that's silly

I'm volunteering myself to keep a record of it, and I really hope that people will report these disappearances. It's quite interesting, really.

[True to his word, Ushiro packs up his stuff. It's not a lot - mostly some books and notebooks and pencils, with a few changes of clothes. It's easy enough to find a box to put them in.]

[He drags the box with him, managing to wrestle it down the stairs, and manages - with a number of breaks - to get to the shelter. He pushes it inside, and then flops down in a chair, leaning on the box. Soon enough, he's fallen asleep.]

[Someone want to wake him up?]

Uh… is this thing on? [There’s a pause; Akihiko has taken the device off to examine it. He’s not exactly sure how it works. After a few moments, the voice feed comes back on.] I suppose so…

Guess we’ve gotten ourselves into a bit of a bind… my name’s Akihiko Sanada. If there’s anyone who can respond out there, I have a few questions for you. [There’s a small pause, and then he starts mumbling to himself.] I read all the stuff, but really - jail? If Mitsuru found out, she’d never let me hear the end of it…

I think I’ve got the basics sorted, but if there’s any additional info that would help, I’d appreciate it. Also, if there’s anyone from Iwatodai here - I’d appreciate hearing from you. [With that, he figures that he’s about done here, and turns the communicator off.]

[Good morning, angel! Hark a newly awakened angel's song flying to your ears~]

Ca~~~s?

♪~ Caaaa~~~~~~ss! ~♪

C'mere, I need to talk to you.

[Lying down under a tree in the park, some magazine on gardening and landscaping flopped over his face.]
 

Excuse me, but...what exactly is this?

[Arianna's holding up a small but odd-looking little bag. Those in the know might catch on that it's actually a gris-gris charm.]

If this is an attempt to mark a claim on a house, I'd advise writing a note instead. Or was I misinformed and only certain kinds of people are allowed to live in each of the sectors? [This is all said politely in case she's jumping to conclusions, but it's obvious she isn't pleased.]

[Oz is sitting in the grass in the park, his legs crossed and his hands resting lightly on his knees. His eyes are closed, heightening every other sense he has. He's been this way for awhile, losing track of time, so anyone may have noticed him in passing by over the last several hours.

When he opens his eyes, his only movement is to switch his communicator to voice in order to broadcast a question out to the masses.]

Say someone was looking to acquire a guitar... suggestions, comments, witty and/or snide remarks?

Good news, everyone! It's time for the first baseball practice of the season!

I hope that wasn't too loud.

Anyway, I, um, kind of misplaced the roster, but if you played before or if you want to play you should just come to the baseball field and we'll get started. Even if you've never played before...or heard of it. [Which breaks his heart by the way.]

Really, everyone. Yes, even you, Josh. Wherever you've been hiding. [Yuuri doesn't realize he's gone yet since it isn't that uncommon for him to disappear for a few days, but he has noticed that maybe he's been kind of...missing him. Maybe a lot. And maybe he's not the only one he misses.] You too, Midori. You're the manager. I don't know if I mentioned that before. I probably should have asked Suzaku if today was good for him too...

What has to happen before the Defense Force deems it necessary to lock a person up? Apparently, the man who assaulted and tried to murder me was not considered enough of a threat. Maybe next time he attacks they'll put him on the watch list. As if that will do any good. How is anyone supposed to feel safe when there are people like that allowed to walk free with not so much as a warning? I can't deal with this. I will not be a part of an organization this ineffective at what it claims to do. I quit!

[She breathes heavily from her hospital bed, both arms bandaged with one in a sling. If only there was a table she could flip for emphasis. Just as well, she'd only end up hurting herself. She glares at the screen, lowering her voice.]

Allelujah Haptism, I hope you get what you deserve.

[Ammy is lying at the foot of the Guardian Sapling, so for a moment, the video shows a view of the flowers from below before a paw comes into view, and then the communicator is shoved right so she can see~]

Technology is so fidly. A question though...it came to mind a little while ago. How many of you come from worlds of magic? Or is yours one of technology? Or both, or neither? I'm curious~

[The feed remains on audio and white noise for about a minute. Maybe some quiet humming. Gathering her thoughts? Who knows. But when the video flicks on, it's smiles and rainbows and sitting in a tree. BEST IDEA.]

What was that name... Seisette! We're having a housewarming party, okay~? ☆ Hmmm... How's the day after tomorrow sound? That's plenty enough time to get everything ready! Go invite a few of your friends over!

I promise to keep it small~ ♥

[Filtered from Minako]
[Silence as the filter flicks on. Then... HIHIHIHI] ...I lied. ♪

Who likes a party with only one or two people, hu~uh? So lame! Everyone who has the ears to hear this is invited! Be as loud or unruly as you want~! Property damage is absolutely okay! Fire extinguishers prohibited!

The only rule I have to put down is to bring your own snacks. Oh! And keep it a secret! I need to make sure she doesn't know, ri~ight? That takes all the fun out of the surprise~

[He'd gone to their room to make sure that they hadn't left with Kyouya, and to see that at least two of his friends were still with him although he hadn't spent much time with them at all since coming here. Now he wishes he hadn't because Hikaru and Kaoru are gone and it really makes him feel bad that they had gone from seeing each other every day to once in a while.

Still, he knows a lot of people here liked them and he's not sure who knows so just as he did for Kyouya he feels that it is his job to inform those who might care.]

It seems Hikaru and Kaoru Hitachiin have gone home together.
