 Good afternoon, everyone! This is Detective Satou of Everglade speaking!

With the seasons changing, I wanted to get some input from everyone regarding Everglade PD. We're a lot more lively now, so we have no excuse not to be meeting all of your concerns. We may not be the Guardians or Deputies, but it's still our job to make people feel safe in Everglade.

Please feel free to leave some anonymous critic regarding our office. I know Everglade is different from other cities, but I still hope that you can all feel safe here.

And if you don't visit Everglade, please let me know why! We really do have a lot of fantastic businesses and people here, and I'm really sorry you're missing out. I'd like to help you feel safer visiting us... So, yes! Thank you so much! I'll keep doing my best!

[ Kay is in Genessia City, staring in confusion at the empty space that the Velvet Lust bar used to occupy. It's not that the bar is closed and he's out of the job, is that the whole thing just disappeared.

There's an empty expanse of nothing where the building used to be, no walls, signs, nothing, niet, nada. The droid looks down at the communicator, then back at the patch of empty ground in front of him, and finally back to the camera.]

I'd like to report a kidnapping.

A.

[Oh dear, someone snuck out of Wonderland and ventured around the Everglades. It was a small blond child, with visible horns, and she appeared to be missing an arm. Mariko wanted to venture out for so long and well, she finally decided to take the first leap, literally. From the Wonderland building, she lowered herself gently. Her feet were stable, she was able to walk properly, while learning other things.

She ventured through a couple places. First were the taverns, how she bypassed the bouncer, who knows, probably shoved them to the side, but at least he didn't die. They looked interesting and that's where the adults were. The fear didn't struck her when her eyes laid on the vampires, they looked like people with weird ears to her, and the werewolves well, dogs to her, big dogs.]

Hehe, that's a big doggie!

[She giggled to herself, then continued on.]

Hey mister, what's that?

[She pointed to the kegs and glasses what they held.]

B.

[Next part of her adventure has taken her to the Mystic's Ally. It was filled with lights and people, but no humans she could sense in her demeanor side. Mariko walked up to booths all bright eyes and gasped at the beautiful trinkets. There were crystal balls, crystal necklaces, those weird cards, and more. Oh look, there was a Ouija board, maybe she could bring that back.]

Hey missy, what's this? And this?

[Mariko pointed to every object, even the most obvious ones. She was curious okay!]

A [Video/Open to all]

[Mavis is sitting by the lake in Fayren.]

August is a great month of the year, isn't it?

[She sounds dreamy, and she might be blushing a little.]

I would have liked to be able to tell him that.

[She suddenly realizes the feed is open. She blinks and then simply smiles.] I've heard people celebrate anniversaries by offering something that corresponds to the number of years. Like... 50 years corresponds to gold, 60 years correspond to diamonds,... But I couldn't find a book about it.

Could one of you help me figure out what 3 years mean?


B ( [Text message - Private to all Fayren deputies + Moon Knight] )


C ( [Action - Open to all Fairy Haven residents/employees/regulars and to Aizawa, Bakugou and whoever they decide to bring with them] )

With all due respect, [Translation: "fuck that noise" and everyone he's talking about it is an idiot.] to the recent opinion article in the paper, [Thick American accent, that's how you know it's not the Doctor, even if the scruffy scowly face didn't tip you off yet.] No. So much no. There is nothing more annoying than already having a bad day and everyone around you smiling like a lunatic. [Someone probably doesn't get along with the Cheshire cat.] It just makes you look like a smug doddypoll. [Fist to palm.] Don't do it.

Also what are the sports teams here? Anyone got a favorite? I've got a doll I need to take on a date.

So I'm going with Everglade PD. If they'll have me. But I'm stocking up on specialized bullets, just in case. And taking a bounty. -- Which is really weird to say. Don't worry, I'm not going Dog the Bounty Hunter, if anyone knows who that is.

Anyway, I'm taking recommendations on firearms, and specifically, anti-magic bullets. What is there that combats superpowers? Anything? And what's the normal defense against such things?

Oh annnnnd to all the Doctors and healers that helped first day, tha-- [Wow he can't even get the word out. WHY IS IT SO HARD?]

[Come on it's not like he's never said "Thank you" before!] That was righteous. [Someone help this idiot's slang. He's not even old enough to use the terms he is, they were outdated even when he was young. Save him.] I need some help testing it again for a bigger thing, though. You know. No big deal. [Which means it probably is...]

[Action: Closed: Wake]

[A series of event happened before her arrival, When this sleeping beauty roused from her wake, fear had spread. She was in an enclosed space, and it was dark. No, not again. Anything but that. She didn't want to go back to that room! She was being good this time, right? The pod's lid erupted open, like someone shake a bottle of coke, then followed a cry. She whimpered and cried as she dragged herself out. The poor child was confused. Didn't she just died? What happened to Daddy?

Lucy?!

When she crawled herself out of the pod, she stumbled to the ground on her side.]

...Daddy? ...I don't like it here.

[She walked along the wall as she made her way out of the bay. Where ever she was, it was dark and she wanted out. Her dad, he was here right? But where was Lucy? She couldn't sense her, or the other girl. It didn't matter. Once she found her father, they can be a family again.

Least that's what she hoped.]

[Accidental Video.]

[Somewhere out of the bay, the phone she had in her pocket, somehow, slipped out and began to record. The background noise grew panic, the residence were afraid of something, or possibly someone. It viewed a small blond girl, with bows on the side looking up, Mariko. In front of her was a female resident, lifted off the ground high, strangled by some invisible force. The woman pleaded for her life as she felt her life being ripped away.]

'Please... Ah--!'

[Mariko stared up to the woman, not an once of guilt. She raised her voice in response, uncontrollable emotions, so much frustration, anger, rage, and guilt.]

Why?! You're just going to lock me up again! But don't worry, I made a promise so you can live.

[The woman continued to kick the air and cried, unable to reach the girl or the ground. Doesn't look like she could last a little longer. Then the feeds brutally turns off.]

[As the feed clicks on, there's nothing but black on the screen. The camera is very thoroughly obscured. Whoever owns this device must've bumped the record button while putting it in a pocket or something. Still, some muffled noise can be heard as the owner goes about their day. The general noises of Genessia city can be heard along with a feminine voice oohing and ahing at every car that goes by. That is, until a male voice cuts through the general ambiance with 'Nice ass, baby!' A moment later the feminine voice speaks up much clearly this time.]

I'm going to assume you were commenting on my axe, as otherwise making a lewd remark about the eldest princess of Nohr would be cause for execution. That said, I do agree with you, it's a fine axe... my darling Corrin bought it for me~

[There's a loud thunk of metal hitting pavement.]

Perhaps I should show it to you up close.

[Whoever cat called her let out a panicked noise and wasn't heard from again, though some laughter from the owner of the device could be heard. After that encounter, Camilla would resume her exploration, her revealing ebon armor and flowing violet locks making her fairly easy to spot should anyone come looking for her.]

[ The video starts with Zevran tapping on the camera with a fingertip, as though uncertain it's really doing what it's supposed to be doing. Or perhaps there's a pattern there with some hidden meaning, who can say?

And then there's his face in focus, complete with tattoo down one side and those signature pointy ears of his. His accent is thick and warm. ]

What a marvelous device this is; I can only imagine what sort of naughty things you all must get up to with it, behind closed doors.

[ Leave it to Zevran to encounter smartphone technology and immediately and independently think of dick pics. Or worse. Considering the video function. ]

My name is Zevran Arainai. I am pleased to make all of your acquaintances, one way... or another.

[ Complete with a suggestive waggling of the eyebrows, that last bit. ]

[Phibrizzo has a theory. He hasn't bothered to research it before sharing it, but that's not the point of this broadcast. He's more interested in seeing how other people react to it.]

Remember when that lady was asking on here if some of the people here are real and have souls?

Well, since people can be brought back from death if they give up a memory...what if you're giving up a tiny bit of your soul when that happens, and all of these people have died and been brought back over and over again?

[Have fun with that disturbing thought, everyone. Although he's genuinely curious about what sort of theories people might have.]

 [those rumors though.

Satou has to address them. Calmly, smoothly, and without digging her own grave:]

I-I'm not having secret love affairs! I would never keep secrets of that degree! I would be really super open, okay? Love isn't something to be ashamed of anyway, right?

Mr Dante, Ms Hikaru, please don't fire me for having gained a weird reputation! It wasn't a secret love affair! It's just sparring and making cake and playing video games! I'm not a bad girl, I promise!

Also, hi Ms Elsa. I haven't met you yet. Let's be friends.

[he appears on screen, his right arm in a sling, hand completely bandaged, though somewhat inexpertly]

Before you ask, trouble with a robotic naked mole rat that has since gone -- well I would say to meet its maker but obviously [gesture] we've met. Not to worry, I'm undiquedexterous.

First announcement. School is starting up soon! I know you're all looking forward to it so I'll keep this brief... for anyone old and new who is taking my class starting mid-to-late August depending on the astral calendar... the book list is out on my website, also available on my office door. It's roughly sequential. Very roughly. But be sure to pick up: Our Cosmos, Ourselves and Life, the Universe and Everything. There's also an electronic version of the Cosmos one if you don't want to lug around a five thousand page textbook.

Second item, CDs and various other formats of the performances at the Music Festival are now on sale. If you've participated, you're entitled your share in order to hoard, distribute, date, make miniature models of, etc whatever you want to do. I'm whipping 'round a poster to have autographed by everyone that sang, even if you popped up for the open mic or at the last song. It would mean a lot to me if you jotted something down but no pressure.


Finally, I feel like we need a good going out of summer bonfire or something of that nature. What do you think?

[he makes a peace sign]

Professor out! [and cuts the feed. For the moment anyway]

HEY!

CONNER!

[No he has... no idea who this guy is. Not even a little bit. He does, however, pay very good attention to gossip and boy he can't pass this shit up-]

When are we gonna do this voodoo shit? I mean I got all these fucking chickens, I can't just not voodoo them.

[Have a cheerful looking girl smiling widely at the camera, as if she has no worries in the whole world.]

Yaa-hoo, everyone!!

So, like, my name's Angelique Sheeran and I'm, like, new here in Genessia. Actually, I, like, arrived here a week ago or so, but, like, I forgot to introduce myself openly. I would, like, apologize but I don't, like, think it really matters, does it?

Anyway!! I mostly just, like, wanted to make this as a warning or an advertisment? However you rather, like, consider it, to say that today I'm going to, like, be around all the cities to get to know them and, like, everyone in them. I would, like, love to get to know some of you, or, like, all of you but, like, I know that's not possible. So if you want to, like, talk or something I'll be available on here or, like, you can come see me in person and get hug!

[She shifts to show a sign and that she's holding that reads "FREE HUGS".]

Because, like, there's nothing wrong with hugs and, like, they are a great thing to share! You don't, like, need to hug back if you don't like, that's why they are, like, free hugs! And they are, like, super healthy!

[Specially for the girl that will try to sneak and absorb tiny little bits of energy from each hug, not even enough to make people feel tired, though they may feel slightly breathless.]

You show one or two your badge, let drop your first name once or twice, and somehow the last case you worked on is all bungled up on the grapevine. What are you, all playing telephone? Daniel Solanos had a lot of misinformation surrounding his murder, but my name is Detective CARVER. [GROWL GROWL.] Don't call me by another name, no matter where you hear it from. Especially not reckless scuttlebutt. And no matter how bungled things were, even if you want to call me the worst cop in California, I've definitely never been the prime suspect in any of my own murder investigations. This is why partners are important. To hold you accountable and even hold you suspect. Bah.

Genessia or Everglade? Which is better for an American detective? Or I'll let Chrysalis decide. But might as well get the locals' opinions. Same for digs. How's the rent and general attractions in both? And takeout.
