Who: OPEN TO ALL!
What: Beach Party!
Where: Dubai Sub-archway
When: All Day May 31st

[Everyone will get an invitation though there are specific friends of Levy's that she sends personal messages to imploring that they come and have a good time at the beach. There have been more than a few trying things as of late and she thinks that everyone needs to have a chance to relax and have fun.

After getting permission from Troy she sets up a little space on the beach within Dubai's sub-archway. Just as he promised it's the most beautiful beach she's seen. The water is crystal clear and the sand almost a pearly white.

She has a few things set up for those who arrive. There are tables and chairs under canopy and a few extra towels for those who forgot to bring one. There is a boardwalk nearby that people can walk down, checking out the shops and the food. Levy has watermelon and others summer time snacks set up for people to pick at. There is a beach ball and a net set up for those who want to play on the beach.

As the sun sets there will be fireworks and star gazing.

As a benefit of knowing Troy there are also rooms available at the hotel located behind the party. The Atlantis is a nice place and will be the hosts of the fireworks show as well.]

( She'd experienced this once before, she felt, during that time in the library. Except this was different. This time, she woke up inside of a cocoon-- her coffin, she supposed.

Yet, this didn't quite disturb her. Preferably, she'd have stayed with her two brothers, but she'd made her peace with death before. It was okay, she'd tell herself. Everything will be fine. Shoma and Kanba would learn to move on, the world would still turn. She'll be fine. Himari was better off this way.

This did not, however, account for whatever it was that weighed down her chest. A box of some kind? She rose up from the casket, box in hand, and began to rifle through it. Once she reads through the pamphlets, she clicks on her device: )

Sooooo, what all draws us here: magic? Or are we all pulled from death?

( What? No inquiry of what this place is, or where to live? Priorities... )

[alright everyone, kirino has an extremely special announcement! really, this is mostly because she is tried of moping around, and she really hopes that focusing on certain things that make her happy will have a way better reflection on her mood. she will never be happiest here, she knows that, but she just needed to make due with what she did have around her.

and what she had around her were many people to give her ideas about a new creation.

kirino was sitting at a table, papers scattered about and several folders accompanying them. she had placed her device a little ways away, propped up so she could be entirely hands free while she spoke to everyone. she cleared her throat, a pen in her hand ready to jot down any sort of notes she would need.]

While Sena-san is coming up with a plan to leave this place, I figured I would at least try and kill some time until then. [why yes she still has faith that sena will bust her out.] With all of you here I just realized that this is a prime opportunity to get new info for another book.

I'll give you a quick summary of my previous book, it sold really well and even got an anime adaptation. It's about a girl that witnesses the end of the world, everything is gone except for certain precious little sisters! It's her job to go around and save them all- even during the dangers that come with the apocalypse! Well- isn't that just powerful?!

[she thinks it is, at least. anyways, moving on-] What I want is new material for this book. I'm after really unique scenarios, since I want my readers to be able to experience things like totally different worlds, just like here! I'm thinking of writing about a place that's similar to Genessia.... only, the main characters will be mostly interacting with little sisters again.

[she is little sister crazy. and she already has certain main characters she wants to write about.]

What I'm basically asking for here is for you guys to give me a summary or a breakdown of your world. I'll tell you mine so we don't overlap or anything. I'm from Chiba, Japan, and we don't have any special powers or anything at all. If you have powers, then it's just on TV, anime or video games. So yeah- give me some good examples guys! Don't worry, I'll definitely create really amazing characters that reflect your worlds, trust me.

Oh- and I'm thinking of calling this novel "My World"!

[and that's it for her video!]

How would you guys like to be some of the side characters in my novel? Of course, it wouldn't exactly be you guys, it would just be characters that kind of resemble you! Well?! This is a pretty special opportunity! Just think of all the little sisters your characters would interact with!

Video; Genessia City, close to the Bay

[The video starts with a blonde teenage girl close to the screen. In the beginning, only her face is present, but she pulls it back once she realizes it's working. It was surprisingly easy, even if it looks nothing like her own phone.]

Do you really think you can kidnap someone like me?! Papa is going to be looking, and when he finds me, anybody who helped is going to punished!

[She tries to make herself commanding, strong, but her voice wavers and moisture collects at the corner of her eyes. Sena's afraid, horribly so, and she's not really sure what to do. Who had taken her? Some pervert? Someone after money? Did they think what little they had given her would keep her quiet?! No, she was Kashiwazaki Sena, and she was going to...

...do something.]

I might be generous, but even someone like me has limits. If you help me get home now, I'll make sure the punishment isn't as bad.

[The video ends just as the haughty words do, the last syllable punctuated by what sounds like a real sob.]

Action; Genessia City

[Those who see Sena early on sees the weakest, most vulnerable part as she works to deal with being away from everything she knows. Despite her reputation in school, she's never had any real responsibility, any need for independence. It was almost time for her to go to University, it would have happened anyway, but not like this, not without resources or any familiar faces.

She's not prepared. It's hard to move very far from the Bay, to enter the new city all alone. For the first few hours, that's where she waits, sitting, holding the device to her chest as she hopes for help.If she moved, she worried she would be impossible to find in such a larger city.

As the day progresses so does her thinking. Instead of broken, she becomes a bit proactive. Maybe, with so many people around her, someone will rescue her if she just asks. So, Sena will approach, she'll do her best to keep her pride, but ultimately she wants some form of direction.

When that plan fails, when she's still in Genessia come nightfall, the walking is more directionless. Despite it only being a day, and not yet a full one, desperation has set in. Despite what the pamphlet said, Sena doesn't want to live in the city, she doesn't want to be part of this place. She has her own home, family, school, fr-- a club.]

Action

No no no no, please stop. You cannot wander around like this- put that down.

[Elsa has been awake for a while and has taken all the information she can get, but after she was ready to contact the network, she had notice little beings appearing around even here. Every time she sneezed, at least five new small snowmen.

Even now, they were lifting all sort of things up and moving them around, wondering around the place with the items they do manage to lift up and sometimes dangerously almost dropping everything.

The numbers kept increasing and Elsa's fever isn't helping her to chase them down or catch them, even if she tries to make barricades to hold them in. Unfortunately they're wise enough free each other.]

Oh- what a mess.

Video

[Elsa has no choice but to leave the little ones roam around and contact the network for help.]

Good evening. My name is Elsa and I just arrived here. I have a small pro- [A sneeze. Five new snowman babies are born and flop to the ground - except for one who stays on Elsa's shoulder.] ... my powers are a little out of control because I'm sick and I keep making these little snowmen against my own will. Unfortunately, I have no strength to catch them all alone, so if there's anyone who could-

[Another sneeze. Seven more snowmen who start trying to lift the device that makes the hologram.] ... assist me on this. I am very sorry this has to happen right after I arrive. This is so embarrassing.

[ACTION: at The Bay]

[Waking up in a cushy box is one thing that Nora can get over. Having new, shiny things given to her upon waking up from said box is another thing she can get over. But not seeing anyone she recognized is unnerving. Obviously, this isn't Beacon, or Vale, or anywhere. Everyone is too cheerful given all the events that went down.

Now, seeing the hologram of Weiss...that's one thing she can't get over. Even after it finishes its speech, Nora just stares at it skeptically.]

...she's not that tall! [That was the most important part of that whole transmission, according to Nora.] Just...what is even going on?!



[VIDEO]

[Nora is on screen, holding up the pamphlet that was in the pile of stuff from earlier.]

So I got this pamphlet, which is nice and simply to understand, but lacks directions on how to leave. [Tosses it behind her and it drops onto the floor. She'll pick it up later.] But that too-tall-Weiss image says that we can't leave anyway, and that it's safe.

[She's eyeing all the people walking by. After everything that's happened, how could she trust any new place to be safe?]

So far, I guess she's right.

Anyway! If anyone recognizes me, give me a shout! If you don't then...um...well, you don't! [Didn't think that far ahead, oops.] But that can be fixed with a simple hello! And a name. And one favorite food you like!

[There, that should do it! With one small finger salute, Nora turns off the video for now.]
