Hello. My name is Connor. I'm the android sent by CyberLife. [ The circle on the side of this guy's head just blinks yellow the entire time. Red for a second while he glances off after saying that then back to yellow. He idly straightens out his tie. ] That won't mean anything here.

Due to the unknown location of Genessia, it is difficult to determine if it is blocking incoming signals or if it is too far to retrieve one. I'm unable to connect back to my source of origin and part of my database may now be outdated. The CPU operating this place has been... uncooperative.

The information given on arrival has been helpful and informative, however additional data will need to be collected. There remains a significant lack of familiar terms within the network. Since I have determined I am currently the lone representative of my "world" and will need to be self-sufficient, any offer of additional information about the locale would be appreciated. For example, details of where to find those familiar with repairing bio-components would be of great use for future reference.

I am designed primarily to assist human law enforcement but contain features that can be applied in a number of positions. I've considered my options but I am open to suggestions of where to be of the most use. I would like to assist in any manner possible.

Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

Now that I've primarily gotten shit moved into office... guess I should make a speech or something...

Well, for starters, to everyone that voted for me, thanks. To those that didn't, no hard feelings. I know I didn't give people much to go on besides taking over for Cassian and keeping his stuff going, but since actually throwing my name in the race I've been doing something thinking, and I've come up with a few ideas.

My primary objective is to address the financial situation the guardian's office is in. As you've probably noticed we've had a few fundraisers here and there. That's fine, I'm not trying to deter anyone from doing that, but at the same time I would like to be able to reliably pay my deputies without worrying about next month's income. I've got some ideas that I'll be floating to mayor Cecil and working to just make things more profitable in general.

Second, as the home to the only place in Genessia that has a place where people can fight to the death with no repercussions, I'd like to open that up more publicly and encourage people with issues with one another to settle them there, and not bother anyone else. Exceptions obviously apply.

Those are the two big things. That said, if anyone has suggestions or would like to talk to me, I've got an open door policy so please feel free to contact me.

Also, because of the imminent heat wave, I'd like to put out a call to anyone with wind, water, or ice powers. Anyone interested in helping out, contact me.

 [And just like that... Ada is gone. Satou worried at first. She knew her roomie frequented Everglade, so was scared something had happened to her... but also, kind of knew what had really happened. Her first instinct had been to call Ada, after all, and see that her name was removed from the directory.

After her fruitless search, Satou returns home. It's early in the morning and she is exhausted from roaming the streets. Trying not to sulk, she opens the video function.]

[video]

I'm sorry... Ms Ada is gone. I don't know what I did wrong, but she's g-gone. I'm really sorry. I shouldn't have asked her to stay with me. I shouldn't have leaned on her so much for advice about the occult. I-I shouldn't have been so complacent. I should have learned my lesson already, and just lived alone.

[She whimpers, swallowing her tears, then lowers the video. She doesn't want to be seen crying, so have a nice view of her pendent.] I think I'm going to go training for a bit. But I thought her friends should know... I'm really sorry.

[action - all cities + holodeck]

[You've got some options! One being finding Satou wandering around late at night to early in the morning, on her pointless search for Ada. She approaches everyone she sees during this time and asks if they've seen her roomie. The next day-- or well, after the morning video call,-- Satou still hasn't slept. She can be found hanging around the holodeck between practice simulations. It's abundantly clear that Satou is exhausted, too. She comes out every hour to get water and pay for another time slot, but someone really needs to stop this cycle of stupid grief avoidance.]

Hello, everyone! Sorry, I've been so quiet lately... I didn't realize how tiring it would be to have a job, even just part-time. But now I'm getting better at handling my time, so...

Does anyone have some hobbies they could teach me? Like "knitting" looks really cute! Hitomi-chan did things like piano, ballet, and even tea ceremonies... I want to try new things and find something I like!

And also... uh, this is a little bit unrelated, but uh.

So... Back home? I'm... not really a person anymore, I guess. When I first got here, I thought that made me weird and different, and telling people would be bad... But there are so many interesting people in Genessia! I don't think it's fair that I keep something so big a secret. I mean, it might be important to know later... So, um... Yes! I'm a magical girl. And something the other girls call "The Law of the Cycle." um... I kind of wonder if there's anyone else like me? Who uh. Doesn't exist as a person anymore?

Sorry, it's so weird to talk about. 

Locked to Ryuji;

[Futaba has been feeling pretty bummed since hearing about Mimi leaving. It's been pretty hard on her, but she's sure that Ryuji is taking it even harder. Glancing at the phone charm that was given to her by Mimi for her birthday, she let out a sigh. It wasn't much longer that she went to text him.]

Hey, are you busy? It's been a while since we've last hung out so, I thought we'd do something together or something.

[More-or-less because of Mimi leaving of course, but she's not going to say that.]

Locked to Ann;

[Right after texting Ryuji, she sent one to Ann next.]

Uhm, hey. So with prom coming up and... Mimi was really into it... I need something to wear. Normally I'd stay home for something like this, but... Mimi was really happy when she finally pushed me to say I'd go. I know she's gone now and there's nothing keeping me to my word, but... I feel like I should still go because of her.

So, do you think you can help me find a dress? I mean.... I... don't want to go by myself. [Her anxiety and all of that fun stuff.] I'd really appreciate it if you could.

Locked to Seth;

[And since she's going to prom in Mimi's memory -- since she literally begged her to come -- that meant she needed a date. Good thing she has a boyfriend and doesn't have to worry about finding a date, but god she didn't want to. She knew he'd tease her for it, but may as well address the elephant in the room.]

Uhm... Are you busy on the 19th? I.. uhm... I promised a friend that I'd go to her event and.... I need a date...

[She'll leave it at that; and to a text no less. She knew he was going to tease her for it, so she opted out of a video or a call and went for a text instead.]

Locked to Sombra;

[With the event a while back when Easter came around, Futaba was.... also affected. Although, her personality didn't change like some of her friends. Instead, she woke up in a different body completely one day. With some digging in her new digs as well as her new temporary room, it wasn't too hard to figure out who she was posing as.

Or rather, she didn't know their name, but rather an alias. With some hacking -- and man was it a lot more tricky -- and some digging, she eventually came to the conclusion that it was the other hacker that she knew here. It made sense once she looked into things, because quite frankly, it wasn't hard to hack into most things in particular at her skill level. This go around was much more complex and overall more protective. It was clear that whomever this was, they knew what they were doing.

Sombra. The one she spoke to about forming an alliance at one point. This was certainly a strange situation. She could have called her out ages ago, but she chose not to. More so because she was also a hacker; she knew secrecy and privacy was extremely important and she wouldn't put someone else in a tight spot when she knew what would happen. How did you call someone out from hiding while remaining inconspicuous though? She could send out a message as Alibaba...?

So soon enough, a message is sent on the comms. Hopefully she'll respond back. If not, well, Futaba knew what she looked like now.]

OPEN TO EVERYONE;

[On everyone's phones -- though normally most people would see it anyways -- will pop up a strange icon interrupting anything that you're doing at the moment. Were you in the middle of playing a phone game or calling someone? Well, doesn't matter now, because instead you're going to get a message from someone who's voice has obviously been altered.]

My, My. You all seem to be the sharing type; Not that I mind. What's that saying again?

Sharing is caring?

So let's play a little game, shall we, Genessia. [Hopefully a cue there.] How about we all share something about ourselves that you wouldn't normally say out loud. Don't worry, you can send it through anonymous text if you're not brave enough to say it.

Let me start.

I believe UFOs truly exist. [Sort of.] Now it's your turn.

You have an hour. Clocks ticking, Genessia.

[And with that, you'll return to whatever you were doing. Sorry about that game you lost though. And there's a time limit? Don't worry. She's not seriously going to do anything to you. It's just a small prank and at most, a way to call Sombra out without being obvious. What happens in that hour that you don't submit something? Nothing dire. You'll just be locked out of your phone for about 10 minutes.]

[OOC: Most of these are locked to certain characters, but I had quite a few, so I just wanted to do it in a catch-all. If anyone is interested in anything with Futaba, feel free to make your own prompt and I well go with it! <3]

*There's a deeply concerned young woman on your screen, a small frown of worry on her forehead, hands clasped tightly in front of her*

Everyone, I have read the newspaper and I have heard the frightened stories from those who I work alongside - models are being murdered. I will go to work today, because I can't let this killer think that he or she has won. But - there is very little I can do to stop these awful things from happening again, or to catch the culprit: I wish that I were of more use... In the meantime, please, if you are strong and you are willing and able, please stop them before it is too late...

*And with a serious face and wide, scared and beseeching eyes, Sonico leaves it like that*

[Action]

In Nova City, Sonico heads to the mall on her bicycle, but she seems much more tense than usual, eyes tight on the handle bars, glancing behind her every so often. At one stage, Sonico even seems a bit wobbly on that bike.

Nearer the mall, Sonico locks her bike safely and makes her way to work. Still, her movements are slow, eyes wide and body tense as she continues to check that she is not being followed.

[ The device starts tilted when it turns on and the owner of it self-corrects, holding it as far as her arm will allow to fully present herself. There's a pause and she pulls it back in for a moment so she can take both her gloves off. This is a girl who is way overdressed for spring, that's for sure. There's a sheepish smile and a tiny wave of the free hand before she speaks. ]

Um! Hi. Hello, everyone! This is supposed to be an open network, right? It's been quite a while since I have been on one of those so forgive me if there's a protocol I am supposed to be following. Your posts were of a wide-variety of topics and methods so I figured it was okay to just wing it!

First, I would like to thank everyone who provided the welcoming information and the hologram. Waking up in a pod can be... quite daunting! Especially when you don't remember going in it this time. It is better to have such a warm greeting, even if what was being said seemed way crazy at first.

My name is Mei-Ling Zhou but just 'Mei' is good. In my world- [ A tiny laugh ] I get to say "my world." I have never crossed dimensions before, if that is what really happened! Gosh. Who knew? In my world, I am a climatologist. I specialize in abnormal climate phenomena and their effects on different ecosystems. I would love to know what kind of environment we are dealing with, if anyone could provide more information about the area. Perhaps I could be of use somehow?

[ She takes a glance around, trying to think of what else to add. ] I guess that's it for now! Unless anyone wants to provide food recommendations. I would love to try another world's cuisine. And I may need someone to help me go shopping for something lighter.

[Ada like to think after a week of being here she would have figured out how to finally use the device. Sort of. She had figured out how to use video, but since she never used it hasn't fully sunk in that she should maybe move it a bit further back. She'll probably figure that out later or at least while she adjusts it now and again.]

Good morning... I'm not 100% confident that I am holding it correctly, but I am figuring it out as I go. [She smiles slightly.] A device like this is not what I was used to before I arrived. [A paused, she had a reason for this. She moved to bow slightly. She was being polite.]

But I figured I should at least introduce myself to everyone here. My name is Ada Vessalius and it is a pleasure to meet you. [She soon stood up straight, hands still firmly holding the device.]

I arrived around a week ago and I am still getting my bearings, but I am asking for something like a tour guide more than anything. To show me around and explain things that I might not fully understand. [She glanced away for a moment.]

I've already explored a bit, but there are certain things that I don't know which is why I am asking. I want to understand this place much more. [She also may of started her occult collection here but that is a story she isn't going to be open about any time soon.]

I will reward you for you kindness if you are to help. Thank you for listening.
