video, December 3rd

[ The Cassian Andor showing on the network today is strikingly different from the disheveled rebel officer Genessia is used to. He's wearing a crisp white uniform with black pants and gloves which will be strikingly familiar to those who have run into Thrawn before. His beard is short and neatly trimmed, the blue and red rank pips on his chest polished to a high gleam. ]

This is Agent Andor of the Imperial Security Bureau. I have taken note of an incident which has displaced me from the Genessia I am familiar with. I assume that others have been affected by the same phenomenon. I urge you to remain calm and follow the instructions given to you by law enforcement.

As the town of Attleton is under Imperial protection, I will personally see to enforcing order within the borders of this town. Violence will of course be met with necessary force, but I would like to assure you that the Empire and I are not your enemy. This town has suffered under the chaos of rebel mismanagement for long enough; no longer will criminals and wanted terrorists be permitted to parade themselves as protectors.


action, first days of the event

[ After finding himself in a Genessia which wasn't familiar to him at all - and on top of that, finding himself in Attleton when he should have been in Nova City - Cassian Andor wastes no time to gather information about the familiar-yet-foreign place he finds himself in.

The find that he's in a place of authority here is a pleasant surprise, and one he is going to make full use of. The discovery of his counterpart's personal circumstances are less pleasant... even less pleasant than the framed Declaration of the Rebellion hanging in the Guardian's office, which he promptly throws into the trash bin.

You'll find him wandering about town, trying to relearn the world of Genessia and learn the town of Attleton, a place which he had dismissed as unimportant in his own Genessia.

Banned from the house by K-2SO, he will be staying in Bixby Place - sans pokemon or dog, on which Kay has staked a claim. ]


action, Wednesday, 6th, Hangar Queen

[ This evening finds Cassian in the Hangar Queen, getting spectacularly smashed. It had started out with a single drink and the good sense that he had to be frugal with what little money he had, but he could be charming when he tried, and he could be pretty, and a smile got you free drinks, which made it easier to smile and cajole more free drinks out of people...

A dangerous circle, which would be bound to take a turn for the ugly if anyone tried to get too familiar with him, or even worse, said something which offended the Imperial who was currently devoid of a brain-to-mouth filter. Or brain-to-fists filter, for that matter. But for now you could see him drinking and flirting, a throng of people around him which he regaled with tales from a galaxy far, far away.

There was no cure for misery and self-loathing as trusty as alcohol. ]

[Garrus does not look happy.

Which is surprising, considering all of his facial scarring has seemingly miraculously cleared up over night, almost as if a certain mask had attached to his face.]

Did anyone else have their paper thrown directly at them, or am I just that lucky?

[Seriously, he had just been walking home, minding his own business, then BAM! Paper to the face. Not cool.]

 Locked to Setsuna/Eva | Genessia

The day started normally, with Konoka being a relatively early riser but still not nearly as quick as Setsuna was. But this time, the healer woke up and found herself grabbing a mask instead of turning off her alarm clock. A little confused, Konoka lifted the mask and set it aside so she could actually turn off her alarm. Blinking blearily at the mask, Konoka brought it close to her face to examine it when suddenly, it grew a mind of its own and attached to her face, ignoring her panic until it sealed itself on and she lost consciousness.

--

Not much time passes before Konoka shoots awake again, this time startled that she overslept. "Agh! I'm late, I'm late!" She might not be on the clock so to speak, but the brunette felt ever restless, with less time for morning training she was sure that Eva was going to kill her and Setsuna was going to either blame her or blame her*self*, neither which seemed all that appetizing to Konoka.

She leaps off the bed with greater physical prowess than she'd ever displayed before, using her pactio card to switch out of her pajamas and into her onmyodo outfit for training, following that, she immediately stormed to where Setsuna was... and was a bit surprised that she hadn't left the apartment already.

"Secchan?! I thought you would have left already! We need to train!"


[Video] Everglade

[ The video flicks on to Konoka looking somewhat confused. A portal lined with charms closes right behind her. ]

Why is my store still here in Everglade? I thought I moved it to Fayren? Geez, is Genessia starting to mess with people's minds again? I've been hearing about a few things over the comms this morning but seeing it in person...

[ It makes her sigh, and her face contorts to the briefest of grimaces when several negative memories flicker in her mind. Dracula, Pidonus, her drama with Mariko...

She shakes it away. ]

No. I can handle this. This place has its good times and its bad times.


Action | Fayren


Ah, now this is more like it. Konoka has surrounded a wide field with several charms, mostly so she can cast freely cast magic without it messing up nature. She had a faint memory of cutting loose in Fayren once and causing the wildlife to panic... she wouldn't make the same mistake twice. 

She grinned as she let loose a circle of ofuda around her hand. 

"Evil Destroying Tornado Blast!"

What came out was a powerful, tornado like burst tearing through the air and hammering the edge of her barrier.

Though mostly satisfied, Konoka looked around. "I still got it, but that wasn't the same power that let me fight the Lifemaker..."

[ VIDEO ] [ Backdated to Saturday night ]

The video is shot from an odd angle - looks like the phone might be sticking out from a front breast pocket on a jacket. It's half-obscured, until there's the shifting sound of leather, and the entire picture is revealed.

There's a terrified looking shop clerk behind the desk, cowering a little.

[As the feed clicks on, the voice on it is rather distorted sounding. As if a pair of voices are talking from a considerable distance, yet the words come out clear.]

I have a question for the powers that be in Fayren. Are there any laws regarding the hunting of wildlife in the areas outside the city? I ask because my appetite is considerable compared to mortals, and I do not wish to make any enemies because of it.

[The feed clicks off, awaiting an answer. However, reports of a massive crimson dragon would be coming in all day. It would seem that the dragonqueen is enjoying stretching her wings as she flies high over Fayren, getting more acquainted with the area.]

┊Accidental Video┊

[For anyone who knows Futaba, they probably know how awkward she can be due to her social anxiety. At the very least, she was leaving her apartment and occasionally going around and trying to overcome her fears. She doesn't seem to realize that her phone was recording all of this, but suddenly you see her curled up in her seat, hugging her legs closely as if trying to hide.

People might even see flashes of a woman, but it's obvious that she's not a real person. Whomever it is, she does not look happy in the slightest.]

This is your fault. You killed me.

No... I... I didn't...

I should have never had you. You are a nuisance.

[Now she's trying to cover her ears.]

N-No.... I... You're wrong!

[Futaba seems a bit too pre-occupied to really notice the phone is on, but soon enough it turns off after idling for a while.]

┊Action┊

[Anyone living with her or just close enough to visit her is welcome to come check up on her, but she won't answer her door. In fact, it's locked and now has caution tape over it with a sign saying to "Stay out". If you try to get in, she won't respond, but feel free to try.

OOC: She won't remember being saved by the Phantom Theives for a bit. Have fun.]

[Angela doesn't seem to be fazed by this event for some reason, which makes her more on top of things by seeing strange things happen again. She's just a little confused of what exactly is happening. What are the symptoms of this strange phenomenon and what's the pattern to connect it all together? Once she can figure that out, she can figure out a way to help out anyone in need of it.

But while she's sitting in her office, she has another purpose for addressing people besides the event. With the Holidays upon them, she had the idea to do something for it before things got a little strange again.]

Hello everyone. I know something is going on, but I have yet to figure out just what is affecting this mood shift for many people the past day or so. If there's anything I can do to help, I'd like to do what I can.

But while I figure that out, I just wanted to ask if anyone was interested in a Christmas party once things die down? I love the holiday for many reasons and while giving presents to those you care for are a tradition these days, I think my favorite thing about the holidays is spending time with friends and family. Gifts are nice, but I think those closest to you and making memories are more important. I think this would be a good way to spend some time together and mingle. It might even be a good time to make some new friends.

In the meantime, how do you guys spend your holidays, if you celebrate Christmas? I'd love to hear from you.

[And with that, she'll end it with a smile and a polite wave goodbye before turning it off to do other things.]

[Later at home, Angela was thinking about getting some decorations to liven things up for the holiday, but she didn't have much yet. She found some lights at the very least, but then she thought about making some decorations since she didn't have any here yet. So while she's not the most artistic/crafty person out there, she's having a bit of fun while starting to make some cute ornaments of friends from back home and even of some she's met here.

Sertoria can walk in on her and join her if she'd like.]
