[All this language nonsense is severely lacking in Korean. Let's fix that.]

So, I have heard several languages being spoken here recently, but I can't understand anything so far... Not even what I recognize as Japanese or English! I don't know how such a thing is possible, but it seems obvious now that I'm not the only one experiencing this!

[Yeah, there was something about translators, but that shouldn't mess around with being able to understand your native tongue... right?]

Is there anybody at all out there who can understand me right now? Many people here speak an impressive number of languages! Yes, it's truly impressive...! Actually, I am truly ashamed of my own lack of foresight right now. If I had studied more than only English, I would have been prepared for just this kind of situation!! From now on, I'll make sure to devote time to learning any language I can in this Tower!

I will start by asking that anybody who can understand me teach me anything else they know!

[Yeah, he seems pretty pleased with that idea. He repeats the message again in Vietnamese, albeit a little paraphrased. And for those who don't understand him... He holds up a paper and a pencil so they're clearly visible on camera. He taps the pencil against the paper to signify that he is totally ready for pictionary if he needs to be. This can only end in awful misinterpretations all around.]

[The person who appears on the video feed looks like Chihiro and certainly sounds like him but something is off. Especially how he's on a completely green background and there's something not quite natural about the way he moves.

This is Alter Ego. The 'strong' AI programme Chihiro created. Strong in the sense that it's able to learn and think on its own. Chihiro got it back from the last event.

Alter looks very distressed right now.]

Help!! Someone please help! Master is very ill! He can't get out of bed! Please help him! Someone!

[There is one severely irate redhead at his dorm terminal tonight. Amnon is snuggled in his lap, but he's not paying much attention to him at the moment. He lifted up a paper, to show he had been awarded a free meal at the restaurant.]

[He's not thrilled.]

What the hell kind of consolation prize is this? You jerks turned me into a damn bobble head!

[He let out an irate noise, crumpling the coupon up and pegging the screen with it.]

Um, good morning.

[ She gives the screen a tentative smile, but it's hard for her to get used to these terminals. It wasn't at all like talking to a real person. ]

There seem to be a lot of people who are new, so I wanted to say that if anyone would like something grown, I can help -- I'd like to help. I know we have the forest and the meadow levels but sometimes it's nice to have a bit of greenery in other places too, right?

Also, if anyone's wanted something different to eat since I know there's been a lot of pumpkins in the cafeteria lately!

[ She seems to gain a bit of confidence. ]

Oh, and my name is Amalia! I'll do my best to grow what you need!

Did you ever make a promise, but circumstances make it impossible for you to fulfil it?

[On a lighter note...]

Did anyone try the pumpkin soda yet? How was it?

Alright guys, let's try and keep this short, alright? I'm friggin starving.

Got knocked out after the whole shadow shit, damn good nap, and stuff probably went down, some good stuff too. So are the shadows gone? Everyone done crying? And did I miss some torture the assholes were doing? I'd rather know right now than later. 

Also, we get anyone new? Anymore guys from the facility? Doubt it, but hey, I know how assholes like these guys can be. Just wanna know.

[It had taken several days since she and Lancer were swapped back, but Jeanne eventually got up the courage to show her face on the network. Even though some time has passed, she still looks incredibly embarrassed and humiliated at what she'll be talking about.]

If anyone recognizes my appearance as someone who they ran into during the chaos of the past few days... I would like to take this moment to apologize. As some may have guessed, I was not myself, and had no control over what the pervert within this body did while he was occupying it.

[Man, she really looks like she's kicking herself for something she really had no control over.]

If I may ask a small request of those he has spoken to and possibly wronged... I would like for you to forget such things. I do not wish for his deeds to sully any potential alliances or friendships in the future with bad memories. I know it is... somewhat selfish of me to request such a thing, and I completely understand if you do not wish to associate with me due to reminders of what he may have done, but I still want to ask this of you.

That is... all I have to say, I suppose.

[OOC: ONE QUICK OOC REQUEST PLEASE! Due to a bit of confusion, if it's not too much to ask, I'd like to retcon any mentions of Servants/Heroic Spirits/the Grail War or Jeanne's true name. Sorry 'bout that!]

[ It's been kind of a rough day for Yukiko, but she's managed to put on a smile for the camera. Thankfully the terminal was easy enough for her to figure out, so here she is with as proper of a look as she can manage with a strange collar around her neck. The yellow liquid matches well with the colors on her uniform surprisingly enough, standing out against the black of her hair. ]

Um hello? [ Even if she has put on a strong facade, her meek demeanor slips out with a shaky start. ] I was told that looking for people was easier through this network, so I hope this message reaches the right people.

[ Erk! ] Even if not, I'd be happy to talk with anyone! Please. [ Admittedly, it's a lot to take in and by this point in the day, she's starting to feel more overwhelmed than anything. ]

My name is Yukiko Amagi and I'm a student from Yasogami High School. Is there anyone who's familiar with that here? [ Spoken with as much formality as can be expected from a newcomer. ]

If not, maybe you've heard of some of my friends? Chie Satonaka, Yosuke Hanamaru, Kanji Tatsumi--[ Maybe she shouldn't list the ones that are troublemakers first. ]--er, maybe Yu Narukami? I thank you for your time and I hope that this message wasn't too much trouble for you.

[ Amalia stands in front of the video screen with her hands clasped in front of her. ]

Um, hello. This message is for the people in charge of the Tower.

I wanted to thank you for fixing all the floors back to the way they were and for even giving us new ones, and for returning our trunks. I know the things inside of them mean a lot to the people here.

I didn't know if anyone had taken the time to let you know that what you did was appreciated.

[ a brief pause ]

So, thank you.

Hey.  Probably heard there's a gym here now.  Don't think anybody should go there.  Went and checked it out, weights've got no numbers on them, most're way heavier than they should be.  Machines aren't safe.  Track's probably okay.  Even if you got a spotter, wouldn't be using the weights.  People get killed using weights that're too heavy all the time, these ones're even worse since you can't tell the weight.  Might even change while you're holding it or something, knowing this place.

[Chihiro looks extremely excited because he's just found out that there is... there is a gym! Now he can train properly and soon be big and strong and manly! It's a dream come true~!!]

Good morning!
Is anyone here familiar with the use of the machinery in the gym and willing to teach me how to use them? I'd really, really like to make use of the gym as soon as possible!
Thank you very much for your kind attention!

Filtered away from Oowada Mondo & Kuwata Leon
Also, I'd like to thank everyone for their advice earlier. I'm more certain of my feelings now and I'll tell that person. I'm still a little scared but... I'll tell them! I'm sure I can do it!

[April looks both very cheerful and a bit... woobly when the feed clicks on. And her voice sounds a bit slurred when she speaks, almost as if she was a bit drunk]

Captain Jack, I finished that rum you wanted me to make! I couldn't leave it for years like the recipe said though, but a few days worked! It's in the cafeteria for whenever you want some!

… Oh, and since I made a lot of it, anyone else can help themselves to some of it, if they want! It's been a while since I made alcohol, but it still tastes pretty good.

[Welp, that explains why she's a bit drunk.

But just like she said, there are two large bowls of rum in the cafeteria. April is already drinking through the stuff and the Bullfairy she adopted can be seen wobbling around by her feet and making low, hiccuping sounds, having apparently drank some of the rum too.]

ſo now that this unpleaſant "creepy ſea beaſtie that is not actually a ſea beaſtie at all but none the leſs was very much beaſtial" buſſineſs is over

and given how i think i might have finally figured out how this place works

who would be ſo kind as to point me to the rum floor?

[Well, the good news, animus, is that he's not hopelessly illiterate! The bad news is that he's also not all that bad with computers either the capslock/shift key is just elusive, that's all. The worse news is that he's still a troll, and now he's gonna troll your network with his fancy 18th century typeface. Savvy?]

Gettin' bit and shit from things other than zombies... that don't mean that yer gonna get extra limbs or shit, does it?

Or baby monsters poppin' out yer chest?

Newbie here, two questions! Actually, three, but the third one isn't really that important.

1. Has anybody seen a guy about six foot four, wears a giant cloak that makes him look bigger than that, kind of bug-eyed, goes by the name of 'Bluebeard'?

2. How many monsters are there in this tower? And how many different kinds?

3. Can I swap my collar for a different color? Violet's okay, but still.

Thanks for the help, nice to meet you all. I'm Ryuunosuke Uryuu and I hope we get along great~

[ The camera opened up to the view of a young man's face, who appeared to be holding it roughly arms length away from himself, his other hand holding a crystal ball. ]

So this is what they call a free weekend getaway, yeah? [ He laughed, looking into the device with an amused expression. Though the camera angle could not show too much, it was easy to see that he was sitting on a bed, with some clothes next to him. ]

They even packed for me. Must be my lucky day. I shoulda done a reading for myself before going to sleep, I would have been better prepared, yeah! [ Another laugh. ] They even gave me this thing to talk to people. It's a very well thought out trip, yeah? I don't remember seeing any commercials for it on TV though. [ He smiled for the camera, looking very relaxed. ]

So I'm talkin' to a bunch of other winners here, yeah?

[Kirigiri's anything but fond of making her presence public. After all, no matter how you look at it, it's better to conduct your business subtly in any sort of dangerous situation.]

[However, her interactions with Naegi have been limited as of late, and she has gained precious little information about this tower. Monobear's activities, however, have slowed down. Now's a good time to act.]

Does anyone here have any skill with computers?

[Of course, she knows of at least one person who does, but simply mentioning the ability constitutes asking to talk to Chihiro.]

[When the feed turns on, the face of a teenaged girl shows up! The short-haired blonde, violet-eyed girl might seem familiar to some of you. In a vast contrast to her fierce arrival, she seems a bit... nervous?]

Ah, bonjour... my name is Ruler, and I have been here for a little over a week now. It may seem forward, but I... have a request.

[Whatever it is seems to be bothering her, because she hesitates for a few moments before she speaks up again. She sounds almost timid now.]

Are there any residents here with... teaching experience? N-Not training, I am quite capable in that area! I mean...

[Ugh, she has to just spit it out.] I require... reading lessons. Writing, too, if that is possible...

[And now she's just. Steeling herself! Ugh, being illiterate in this day and age must be so horrible...]
