[The feed flickers later on in the morning in midst of the creeping fog settling within the lower levels (for now) of the tower before a clear voice speaks through. Despite the growing difficulty to see through it, he seems to have no trouble?]

Everyone, stay calm and listen. If my hunch is right, this fog is different from the kind that lingers outside this tower and if that's the case, there are some things you should know about it. You see... this fog is similar to the fog in a world I know.

For those who can't read well, I'll read it aloud... but the basics will be here in text.

[He pauses before speaking again, having only stopped to compose himself.]

( MOTHER OF GOD ALL THIS SHADOW SELF INFO... )
[He pauses again before nodding to the screen.]

If any of you need any help for however long this lasts, the Investigation Team will be going around helping to tame any berserk Shadows that manifest. You'll be able to tell us apart from others because we don't have problems seeing through it for one reason or another.... usually special glasses.

[lol whut? ...For some reason, it looks like he's serious. He grows even more serious after this last pause and he filters the feed to his team and the others who know the power of Persona.]

( Filtered to Persona Users + People from their worlds )
This is going to bring back a lot of memories...

Hey guys.

Betting it's a Jason month this time.

Mostly 'cuz I woke up with a note pinned to my hand with a scalpel.

So if you were planning on anything that isn't the tower being more awful, sorry, you're gonna have to put that on hold.

That's pretty much all I got to say. Peace.

Hello, everyone. My name is Luke Triton.

[Wow, a proper and civil greeting- on the network at that! The kid tips his hat politely to the camera, before setting it back where it belongs on his head.]

I suppose it's too much to ask for anyone to remember me- I won't be upset if you say no. However, those of you who may...I am most concerned for Mr. Kirkland. Does anyone know if he is here, or when he was here last?

[With that aside, the kid shifts in to a more focused and determined expression, even for a British teen.]

I also would like to know how many people here have pets, or animals of any sort. I found a hamster during the fiasco that occurred recently, and am unsure who he belongs to. I asked him his owner's name, but I think the chaos may have traumatized him slightly...

With that said, who needs help with what? I'm not one to sit idly by, so if there are any projects or the like that need doing, I am willing to lend a helping hand!

[A pause, as he gives a grumpy squint at the camera.]

...within reason.

[And then the feed cut off!]

[Post is backdated to 2:00PM on the 14th.]

[There's a few seconds of dead air, as she goes over what she's going to say one last time.]

..So we're kinda in a crisis situation here!

Cuz of that, I figured we should... try to do a status report kind of thing! The top levels got totaled, and I know monsters had pretty much taken over a few other floors in mobs when I was last there.

I'd..

[She gulps, obviously upset by having to ask this.]

I'd... like to ask you guys to report anyone you know is dead. Since the dorms are gone, I... don't think anyone's coming back that way for a while.

Please get to the lowest floor you can. If you want to stay on the terminals, floor three has them - otherwise I'd recommend the cafeteria on floor one. If you can walk, then do so instead of using the elevator.

[Short and simple.]

[Chidori, for once, looks on the more pleasant side of stoic, fingers idly taking the measure of some fabric as she speaks. It would be a lot more pleasant, of course, if one of her axes and a whetstone weren't settled on the side opposite the fabric.

But oh well.]

Jade, if you would like to start your lessons today, I will be free this afternoon. Should anyone else like a sewing lesson, feel free to stop in- we'll be in the workshop.

Dave, perhaps you can be my model again for this.

[She hesitates before the next part, but only for a moment- negligible to most people.]

...Strega... Dinner, perhaps?

[Alright Kanji, you've told Yu once that you weren't afraid of what you were anymore and this is the perfect time to prove it. Prove it your a man. A man with amazing sewing skills and a party that is coming up fast and might have a few people who require your aid that you'd gladly share. So do it. Do it now.

When the feed opens, there is Kanji, scratching the back of his neck.]

Hey uhh...this is Kanji Tatsumi.

S-some of you might know me already but...look if you guys need someone to help you with your outfits for that party...I can do that. I'm...real good with sewing. If you need an outfit I can try to make one for you out of the materials we have, but there ain't much. Best deal is that I can also take your old stuff and patch it up, or use that material to make something else.

And if you got a problem with a guy bein' able to do that...that ain't my problem, alright? Take it or leave it - I don't care.

[He starts to say something else, but stops and just closes it down. That should be enough, right?]

[Good afternoon, Tower. Eikichi is standing in front of the terminal's camera, grinning from ear to ear and looking quite proud of himself. In fact you might say he looks unusually energized.]

HOOOOOOOOOOO!

Is this thing on...okay it is.

Inhabitants of this stone tower! I, the beautiful, amazing, great, quick-thinking Michel have a proposition for next week. As it so happens that it was the birthday of someone special two days ago, I realized she needs a proper celebration! And considering there hasn't been a good party around here lately, the solution is simple; a proper birthday bash, not just for our bella dama who will be our guest of honor, but also for anyone who hasn't had a proper birthday for the past months.

And as exceptional as he is, Michel can't do this alone! I can help with the decorations and the music, but I know the tower is filled with considerable talent! Chefs! Decorators! Even a few musicians who might have slipped from Michel's grasp when he didn't notice you...reveal yourselves to me so that we may make this the best bash ever!

And...turn that frown upside down! Michel isn't going to stand for it any longer!

Times have been hard and difficult, that's true, but if we don't get a little joy in our lives, we'll just like this place drag us down with it. I'll have none of that and neither should you! As a certain someone I admire would say, 'Let's Positive Thinking!'

So go on, find a mirror, look at yourself and say "I look great today!".

Don't worry I'll be waiting.

[He crosses his arms with a smirk plastered on his face and waits for a full eight seconds before continuing.]

Now that you're all energized and ready to do this...there's more!

It's not just a birthday party and way to cheer everyone up, if you can, bring that lovely lady or the handsome guy! Come as a couple as there will be a competition to crown the lord and lady of the evening! And don't worry, Michel's a very fair man. As much as he knows he's the only true king around, he'll let someone else enjoy it for that night.

So put on your best!

Oh, no date you say? That's not a problem! Do the words Blind Date have any meaning to you? Send me your name -- don't worry Michel won't share -- and he'll set you up with all the others who don't have one. Considering our beautiful chica population lower, you may end up with another guy! But don't worry, a date doesn't mean you need to kiss at all...who knows, you might end up with a new friend! Michel's certain everyone will have a good time regardless! And who knows...you might find true love and you'll have me to be thankful for!

....I know, I know, how can someone like me exist? Sometimes I wonder that too.

So, who's with me?!

[Look at that grin. Look at that face. Look at all this wild energy. Surely it must stir something within you for that...right to fight for your party...]

[As private as Eikichi can make it to the rest of the team members minus Maya]

Jun, you're in charge of making her a proper birthday bouquet. Miyabi, you want to make her a cake? Tatsuya, Lisa...help me find her some presents? If we have to make 'em I don't care.

And everyone's coming to the music room with me! I've been inspired to write her a birthday song and I'll need everyone's help!

[OH GODS WHYYYY NO EIKICHI NOOOO...]

[[OOC - Blind Date Signups are Here]]

Since you all seem to be so eager to talk to me, and I have some free time, I'll open the floor for questions.

OOC: So we don't wind up spamming the Network Comm and because some people just want to write: comment here to post your nightmares/punishment as you have written them. Please specify if it's a nightmare or a punishment in the subject line.

If it's a punishment, please also put in the subject line if it's viewable and on what day(s).

Remember to add your character's tag to the post.

Thanks guys!

[Hey there tower- you know this face? She doesn't make it a point to use the network often, but when she does, it's usually for a good reason. Today's reason seems to be making announcements, settled in the library with tea beside her and her sketchbook in hand as ever.]

Strega- we will have breakfast tomorrow. All of us. Please don't make me have to come and bring you down. It would assuredly not be worth the trouble.

[Don't make her do it boys. It'll be ugly. Or at the very least, unpleasant.]

Willow- I have more things ready for you, if you would care to come try them on. I feel I may need to request a few more types of fabric from the tower if I am to continue, however. I would like to get the rest of these done properly or not at all.

[Because so many projects, so little of the necessary fabric to use- but half-assing things isn't her style.]

There is one more matter I'd care to bring up, if I may. Her Imperious Condescension, if I might request your attention a moment.

[She picks up her tea then, fingers curling delicately around the cup. It's not an actual request of course, because she takes another sip and continues on regardless-]

It has come to my attention that you have taken issue with the fact that one of your subjects is in a moirallegiance with me. While I am certain you have nothing but his best interests at heart- [she's absolutely sure of the opposite, actually]- I feel I must implore you to kindly mind your own quadrants. Presuming of course, there are any more of your subjects here loyal or willing enough to enter into them with you. If not, perhaps you should look into finding a quadrant-mate outside of the limited number of your people- it seems to be working out just fine for some of the rest of them, after all.

[She takes another sip of her tea, then sets it aside and reaches forward toward the console.]

Ah- and if you should hurt him again like you did before, I believe you will find that not everyone is quite so willing to let you do as you please, Highness.

[Chidori out, yo.]

[Romeo appears on screen smiling, he is good at using the computers now and he pauses just a moment to make sure everything's switched on before he starts speaking.] This is a message for all the kids of the tower! There's quite a lot of us now and even though almost all the adults here are kind and nice and wont hurt us... [With obvious exceptions, Grand Highblood and Ghirahim even though he is sometimes nice...] The tower is still not a very nice place.

The Bad people are really really powerful and not even the adults can fight them, not even the adults who are really strong and powerful and have magic can fight them! So it can be a bit dangerous to be alone. So I think we should make a brotherhood! [A pause] A brother and sisterhood!

We would have meetings and a leader and all promise to look after each other. We can also do fun things as well! Just because the Bad People brought us here doesn't mean we can't have any fun!

[Another pause as he thinks some more] Lots of people have different ideas about what age kids are, but for our brother and sisterhood I think if you are fourteen or littler you can join!

We can meet in one of the bedrooms that no one lives in! But first I wanted to tell everyone to see who wanted to join!

[Ken appears on the network, a frown on his face.]

There's a very dangerous girl running around here. Her name is Minami Arisato. She's out of control. She killed me. I don't know why I didn't stay dead, though...

[He can play the innocent kid card right now. It'll work to his advantage, anyway. To everyone's advantage.]

[He sways a little, and takes a deep breath, clutching his head.]

Nemesis... no. Stop... it hurts...

[He mashes the buttons, finally turning it off.]
