[Okay, so maybe seeing a sort of familiar face but clearly younger than anyone is familiar with is a little jarring. Particularly since there’s some cursing (the general words one might expect) in what is probably an older form of Elvish before there’s the camera settling on some sort of post.

Lydia’s huffing softly to herself and standing back a bit, clothing… somehow different, too, more what most might think of for common peasants in some fantasy scape or some shit.]

So this is new. [Well, okay.] Edwaaaaard, have you found anything worth anything or is there still just forest outside?

Nothing yet! [An aggravated huff. A smaller Edward came into view, focused on his sister.] I’ve been looking forever, the closest to anything is a dumb path. [That may be something, Ed. To be fair though, he wasn’t as focused for a way out as something else.] I can’t find any sign of Keats though...

Have you figured out how to work that...thing, yet? [He motioned to the device.]

[A path is... kind of important, yes. She’s turning away from the camera for a second with a frown, this isn’t good.]

Keats can’t have gotten far, right? [And not long after she says that there’s a rather large aurorus poking his head down from the cover of nearby trees to snuffle at her hair which in turn has her almost jumping out of her skin and backing off.]

What is that!

Ri-Ah![He jumped too when the giant pokemon showed up.] I don’t know! Let’s get out of here! [He reached out for his sister’s hand as he was already starting to nope away.]

[Luckily she’s following after him, grabbing the device as they go. So that’s... still kind of on and it seems to be that they’re heading towards Everglade.]

[Replies may come from one or both of the twins, also feel free to make this action in Everglade if you wish. \o\]

Okay..okay, gimme a sec..phew...

I've been running around the different areas with THIS. [shows a baseball bat] Because! Eggs have mysteriously arrived and have done a lot of weird things to others. So if you're watching this video:

DO.

NOT.

TOUCH.

OR EAT!!!!

THOSE EGGS!

I'm going to go another round in the areas to hide these eggs, so if anyone wants to join me just be careful! Got it? Good!

[After a while of being in the docks, she takes a map and makes her way outside. This... definitely isn't home. But she decides maybe she'll take this with a grain of salt. The hologram mentioned being able to live a normal life... it was worth a try, right?

Fighting the voice screaming in her head that this wasn't right, she trudged onward, determined to find the Genessia Commons. And promptly bumped into someone.]

U-Uwah! I'm so sorry! [She falls right back onto the ground, rubbing her head a bit.] I wasn't looking where I was going...

Hello everyone! My name is Sayori, and I'm, um, kind of new here! Hi! :)

I was kinda wondering where the best clothing stores were around here. I need a few new outfits since none of mine came with me except the one I'm wearing now... but these bills that I found when I woke up would pay for more, right?

I'd appreciate any help at all! Thank you soooo much!

[Action, futuredated to 4/1]

[EGGS. EGGS EVERYWHERE, oh gosh. One could find Sayori picking up egg after egg and putting them into her new backpack. This was so much fun! Maybe she should try and look for some harder to reach eggs!

... Or maybe not, with how much trouble she's having reaching one on a high tree branch. ... Er, she might could use a little help before she trips over herself!]

Who: Rendain and... whoever decides to bother him, really!
Where: The Bay & Genessia City.
When: Early afternoon.
What: A recently-defeated alien commander comes into the city and is very, very confused.
Rating: E for Everyone right now, but I’ll warn as necessary!

Sleep was not actually alien to Robert, but he was well aware upon waking up - at least after a few moments - that he hadn't just been sleeping.

Waking up in a cocoon, in a watery cave, wasn't what he would have expected from death if he'd had any expectations.

With characteristic lack of apparent alarm (and he really didn't feel alarmed; after all, the worst had happened, and so far this didn't seem terrible), he examined the white box he'd woken up with, read through the pamphlet, and thought about things.

After a few minutes of consideration and looking through all the items, Robert slipped the pendant around his neck and everything else into his pockets, and splashed his way quietly out of the Bay, grabbing a brochure once there and half reading it, half listening to the white haired woman's speech. He had to appreciate her attitude.

If you are a child and are not of working age yet, please follow the thick, green line on the provided map to the Kusanagi and Haller Home for Children on 3rd and Dogwood to find a safe place to stay.

It wasn't a terrible idea, but he didn't head directly there. He meandered in that direction, looking around, getting a feel for the area. So anyone in that part of the city was likely to see him, really - especially those around the Cinemaplazaplex, Genessia Public School, Library, Garden Park or its apartments - apparently a boy the size of a ten year old child, dressed in an old-fashioned sailor suit, with a blue pendant around his neck, either wearing a creepy doll Halloween costume or... not. And not seeming incredibly perturbed about his situation.

[ V I D E O ]

Hello.

[ The boy has blond hair, lifeless black eyes, and a mouth that doesn't even move when he talks, as if he's wearing a mask. He's dressed in a faded, but neat, sailor suit, and his voice is calm.]

This seems like a very calm and regulated situation for being a kidnapping.

I have a question about these pendants. [ He raises his own, like Weiss had, to indicate it. ] Does anyone know what the pamphlet means when it says they'll identify us as 'real'?

[ Weiss Schnee had said it identified them as kidnapees, but she'd also said that her company didn't provide the items in the pod, and Robert was curious. ]
