[video] Fourth Remembrance

[notsogrimreaper]

[Ryoji switches the feed on with a small smile. He has cheered up significantly after talking to a few people and making a few friends (or at least, people he thinks are friends). He still is nervous about what he has to say, but he tries not to let that show.]

Hi everyone. It's a little late, so I don't know if anyone is still around, but I couldn't wait any longer. So many things have happened lately... which is probably why I haven't had a chance to talk to you all, but...

[He swallows, then takes on a more serious tone. He's determined to help people, though he doesn't know that he's actually doing more harm than good.]

I was in a group of people who went down the elevator again earlier this month. We were looking for a control room and an exit from the tower. It was dangerous, and... most of us didn't make it out alive.

[He feels guilty, not because he was killed, but because others on that team did. He finds a lot of them strange and he isn't sure whether he can trust everyone, but he still blames himself for not being a better leader.

He shakes his head and continues on.]

The point is, I have information. If anyone wants to know anything, just ask.

[He doesn't have any idea that he received this information through working with a group led by the one man who likely caused the most trouble in the tower this month. He may need a bit of enlightening about that.]

Would you be against sharing this information in person? I think I only trust this network so much.

[text]

[notsogrimreaper]

I understand that. If we can find a place to meet, I'd be happy to share it in person.

[Not that he's going to be allowed to. Ganondorf's been keeping an eye on him, and on the network post.]

If you can meet me in the cafeteria in an hour or so, that'd work. I'll be the one wearing sunglasses.

[Regular comedy of errors, this. Only with less comedy and more errors.]

be careful of what you say

[Who knows why he's doing this, even anonly. Maybe it's because the guy (or a version of him... who knows?) was nice to him and tried to help when he was at a low point, but... he couldn't just let him get hurt due to recklessness. Not that anyone would know this, but with what he could smell...]

don't make yourself a target

[notsogrimreaper]

Dont worry. I'll be fine.

As long as no one else gets targeted, its okay.

[He wouldn't expect the other speaker to catch on that he's generally a reckless person anyways. He doesn't care if he gets hurt or not, just as long as he can keep his friends safe.]

you idiot

you don't know who you'll anger by saying anything in the open

[And then adding, privately:]

I hope you don't have someone you're close to here

they aren't above targeting them

[Action/Closed]

[ Not so long after Ryoji posted this on the network, a Darknut would appear behind the boy. Wasting no time, the large monster would throw his sword with might into the terminal-- Cutting the video and voice feed instantly, leaving anyone who was speaking with Ryoji to only sees interference. The Darknut would do that before Ryoji had the time to divulge any important information.

Thankfully enough, the Darknut made no other move and didn't look as if he was going to close Ryoji. However his presence could mean only one thing. ]

[Action/Closed]

[notsogrimreaper]

[Ryoji yelps in surprise as his responses are suddenly cut off. He freezes in place, eyes fixed on the sword embedded in the screen. That was close... looks like that one anonymous poster was right about his being targeted. Slowly, he turns around, staring at the Darknut. He's scared, but he'll go Thanatos if he feels threatened more than he is already.]

[Action/Closed] - Eventually 4th Dorm Floor Hallway

[neverbeamemory]

[He's been awake from that extreme-winter induced hibernation all of about three hours. He was bit fuzzy-headed at first, after having to argue with the sandwich that he'd been left in, though Sephiroth could already feel the numbness melting away from his extremities.

There isn't any way he can know how long he's been out for as well, which leaves the first thing to establish. Sephiroth usually doesn't bother with the terminals in the Dormitory Hallways but he's too impatient to wait for the time it would take him to get to the Library in this particular instance. At first, he thought he had to have been dreaming it. Ryoji, on video feed, about to completely undo the entire reason for his latest death. What cuts deeper -he knew this would happen! If he wasn't so busy trying to take in the details of Ryoji's background to determine his location Sephiroth might have sworn loudly at the monitor. One thing was for sure- Ryoji was in a similar hallway.

As soon as the feed is cut, Sephiroth is away from the terminal and heading in a flash for the stairwell. It was another dormitory floor - it had to be! Sentinel Darknut marked the spot and they aren't hard to miss, so Sephiroth took his time on the approach down the Hallway toward Ryoji.]

...Be careful.

[Because while while Ryoji is going to divulge information, most of which he learned from Yu, it's information the admins are watching over.

That other people are watching.]

[Video]

[notsogrimreaper]

[Ryoji offers a small smile, more worried for his friend than himself.]

Don't worry, I'll be fine. You just look after yourself.

...How have you been holding up, anyways? I feel like I haven't seen you for a while.

[Which is probably more Ryoji's fault than Minato's, judging from his involvement in the infiltration and the Branch of Sin infection.]

[Video]

[evokingfool]

I've been doing alright. Just...

["Kind of died in my sleep?" His memories are a bit vague around that. But the sleep paralysis was undeniable.]

Well, a bit busy. It's enough that put some of my plans on hold.

[prayed]

Should you really be casually advertising something like that on here? The walls have ears, y'know, and so do the terminals. You might as well be painting a target on your back.

[A shrug.]

Well, whatever. You've probably already earned a big flashing one just for stomping all over those guys' playground. [Or at least, that's what it sounds like this guy was trying to do.] So like, if you've got anything worthwhile to share, I'm all ears.

[notsogrimreaper]

[Ryoji nods, understanding, but still mainly dismissive of her point.]

I don't mind being targeted. Better me than other people here.

But whose playground? The administrators'? If that's what you're talking about, I was already down there once before. I haven't gotten in too much trouble yet.

[Besides getting killed off, but everyone here dies several times.]

video, private

[prayed]

Yeah. Them.

[She clicks her tongue.]

I don't particularly care what you do, y'know, this isn't some game where only the loser gets struck out. If you wanna help others here, you've gotta start by helping yourself. If you can't manage that, you're just gonna wind up dragging others into the mess that you've made.

[Text, private]

[frilliance]

While such information would be very valuable, I would advise against sharing it over the network so that the administrators can view it.[Speaking as someone who got yelled at for asking for info a month ago. Edgeworth has learned his lesson.]

[Text, private]

[notsogrimreaper]

Oh, you're right. I forgot about that.

Maybe I should let people meet with me off the network.

I can give you information before I delete this, if you want.

[suppress]

[The terminals seem to be a poor venue for sharing information, but even so, she can't ignore the things being said here.]

...are you alright?

[There's a note of concern in her voice.]

video

[notsogrimreaper]

Oh, I'm fine. Don't worry about me. Are you okay, though? There was a lot of dangerous things going on.

[Most of which he got wrapped up in, but she doesn't need to know that.]

[proteusmoon]

Information?

[ The woman in the feed furrows her brows, interested, but concerned. ]

I would be willing to hear what you have learned, but perhaps in person is safer? I'm Cecil Harvey.

[notsogrimreaper]

You're right, meeting in person might be better. I forgot the admins would probably see this.

My name's Ryoji Mochizuki. It's nice to meet you!

[...He'd probably flirt with her, but this is a serious conversation, so he restrains himself.]

[temptestament]

I wouldn't suggest sharing that information out loud.

[notsogrimreaper]

[Ryoji offers a small nod and smile. He's been warned of this enough now that he realizes the danger. He had been planning to delete the post, but he was waiting around in case anyone wanted to at least arrange a meeting to get the information.]

I understand that, and thank you for warning me. I'll be removing this post soon, so don't worry.

There is a saying in my world. "Loose lips sink ships."

[text; private]

[notsogrimreaper]

That is very true. It's okay though. I'll meet with people in private now, so the admins don't catch on.
