[The feed opens on a rather young woman, standing with her arms crossed and whip in hand. She doesn’t look very pleased.]

If any of you have an actual explanation for what this place is, or for what reason we’ve come here, please come forward now. I find it difficult to believe that that this ‘tower’, however you fools call it, is not an elaborate ruse created by some fool who is unaware who he’s dealing with.

[Edgeworth can be seen standing right behind her with his arms crossed and a frown on his face.]

Franziska, while I honestly cannot blame you for thinking that I have gone completely insane, I assure you that any answers you get on the network will be exactly the same as mi-[Yep. That comment results in a whip from Franziska - WHICH HURTS DAMMIT.] – IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINE!

[As Franziska withdraws her whip, Edgeworth grabs his shoulder, wincing in pain. Boy, he is going to feel sorry for Franziska and the many people who will become her whip victims for telling the truth.]

As I said, if anyone can come forward with a less foolish explanation than my brother, please do so now. I will be waiting in the library on the third floor. That is all.

[Both Edgeworth and his rather infuriated sister can be found in the library. Come and join them if you want to be whipped give the poor girl some information

Replies will be: Poster> Franziska > Edgeworth.]

[Tetra's sitting at a terminal, playing a few notes on her recently acquired Spirit Flute before looking at the screen.]

So, um... It's a Ruana month. And she can be pretty awful sometimes.

[A lot of the time but Tetra's not saying that where Ruana, Jason or Riki could hear.]

There's really no way to get ready for anything that happens here so just everyone should be careful, okay?

[The feed cuts on to a frantic-looking Nazi who's struggling to smile.]

Look. No, okay, look, ja? [He holds his hands up to the camera in a "calm down" motion.] There are three posts about that silly collar thing. Talk in those. Let us do something else now, okay?

[He lifts up a book.]

We are going to read some stories, then we may discuss them. That is fun und unrelated, right? Here, I will begin.

[He clears his throat.]

'It was the best of times, it was the worst of times...'

[ He's looking down at first. ]

4/1/UNKNOWN YEAR
6:31 PM: Nutrition bars are the only thing on the menu. They don't taste very good.

[ ... He sighs in annoyance. ]

H-Hey, um... does anyone know how to make these things taste better? Or how to cook them into something else?

[ Greetings people of the tower, have the King of Evil who cursed the tower this month appear on the terminals, for the first time in over six months. He looks fairly neutral, with a very light smile. ]

So long as it been since I last posted here, and yet I see nothing changed. The same cycle has been repeating over and over again, both here and where we come from. Higher powers play with those they see as inferior... Cruel and pointless games meant to satisfy their own amusement. From the tortured crowds sometimes a voice arise, then many--

But at the first bone tossed their way, the mindless masses go back in rank behind the higher powers they chose to venerate as deities. At the first occasion to forget, they chose blissful ignorance. Yes... In the end, complacency reigns. People always return to their meaningless preoccupations and lose of sight what should matter most.

[ He pauses and shakes his head in disapproval before continuing. ]

Have voice even been heard in this tower? Many entertained -and without a doubt still do- the idea that following certain golden haired women would bring them what they longed for. Yet, nothing happened. All they did was replace a deplorable situation with another, build a false hope they could comfort themselves with. All they did was turn a blind eye on reality.

Not a voice arise to stand against the status quo. [A very short and deep chuckle.] How pathetic. Tell me, Tower of Animus, do you not believe time has come for you to awaken and bring about an end to this?

[Holding two tubs of raspberry swirl ice cream:]

Thanks Ruana! You're the best!

WHAT WAS THAT?

Did anyone else see that administrator thing?!

Even Ganondork can't exceed that level of freaky freakiness.

It's like ReDeads except worse.

[It had taken awhile, but Tohko had finally managed to get everything made and had fond out just how to get the video settings to work. She'll be standing there, smiling, with a table behind her and a pile of presents on it..as well as a basket of fruit. A small mailbox sat on the corner of the table, separate from everything else.]

Good morning! Would the following people please come to the third floor: Rei, Romeo, Saber, Wilhelm, Tetra, France, Prussia, Lancer, 'Azazello'-aka The Brown Testament, and 'Behemoth'-aka The other Testament.

It may be a little late, but I still want to hand you guys Christmas presents, so please do show up!

[Filtered to Rei Ayanami and Rise Kujikawa]

Oh..and would Rei and Rise please meet me here as well, together? There's something I want to ask the both of you.

I went for a collar checkup...

[And she's dressed in a really regal dress now. Like Zelda's.]

I think they messed up! My collar was yellow now it's the same color as Zelda's collar!

[Majora's been doing a lot of thinking since talking to Ruana. Well, she's been doing a lot of thinking, period, lately, but mostly since Ruana. So she'd spent all evening and today working on some pictures for a story.]

Hey, Tower? I want to tell you a story.

( Following is image heavy, this is a warning )

[The feed cuts there, though Majora will still be waiting at the terminal. She's moping now, tracing fingers over the images.]

[Akihiko appears over the network, his face, arms, and chest covered in a variety of colorful bruises, scratches, and gaping wounds, accented with sweat and some dirt. He is also shirtless. He breathes heavily, but he's got the biggest grin on his face.

You can't even begin to understand the great things that happened.

Screw medical attention, he caught dinner.]

Hey, the Demi-Fiend and I need some help with something up by the staircase on floor thirty-two.

Hope you guys are hungry!

[When the video turns on, Nathan is making A Face. His nose is a little scrunched up and he's rubbing into his eyes with his forefinger and thumb. His face, hands, and shirt are covered in dried/drying blood. After a few moments of that, he finally stops and looks at the camera.]

Alright. Do you see this? Do you all see this right here?

[He zooms in the camera and points with one finger to the bridge of his nose. There is nothing there, aside from some blood.]

This is exactly what I warned you all about! Those furries are all fucking psychos, and no one believed me! What did I tell you, huh? Next time I've got a warning about this shit, maybe people ought to believe me before someone else gets facefucked with sexually transmitted swine disease!

Okay, guys, I've given this request thing some thought.

[Quite a bit, since he's been quiet for quite a while, and hasn't been doing much of anything-]

After Jason gave Sayaka, Ven, and I our matching set of scalpel wounds, I realized that we may have actually irritated him, even if only a little bit. And if this is his month, then next month he theoretically won't be handling requests.

[A pause.]

So, who wants to join in flooding the request box? If a bunch of people request for him to get punched on a month that isn't his, we might get somewhere. I kinda doubt it, but I have to try.

'Course, if you request this, you might wake up with a hand stab- or worse, if he somehow hijacks the situation. Which he probably will. Just, be ready for potential pain, okay?

[[OOC: Here is a convenient link to the IC request box!]]

[So, there's a small pirate that most people have probably seen around the tower pretty often. Or they might recognize her as the kid who was hyped up on coffee thanks to Doc Brown. Except today, her eyes are a little red and she's pouting a little and she's holding onto a small figure of King Daphnes that her Link gave her.

This isn't for the tower as a whole but she can't get the message to lock to just Zelda.]

Hey Zelda... Can I come stay with you for the night?

Link's gone...

[Nope. Can't. Video is off now because she feels like she might cry and pirates don't cry.]
