[Enjolras is shown on the screen examining the device for some time before he satisfies both his curiosity and his understanding that he is indeed on the network. Finally, he lifts his head and speaks. His voice is troubled in tone, but clear.]
My friends. Greetings. It’s been explained to me that we will are confined in this place, brought here with no consideration of our will and left here without the ability to leave. I do not choose to accept this, and I trust others feel the same. If you do, contact me and join me. We will gather as much additional information as we can, and see if we can’t take this upon ourselves to gain our freedom. Who is with me?
[He’s fierce as he speaks. His eyes and set of his jaw show his determination. He shuts off the device, again taking his time with it, and waits for a reply.]

[Jackie looks...well, really happy! It's nice to see the guy so cheerful.]

Hey everyone, so the ball got me thinking. What about a regular party? A big one? Like a festival that we put on to thank the kedan for, I dunno, being our neighbors. I'm thinking about hosting something at the Koi and in the area, and I talked to some of the vendors at the night market, and they said they'd be happy to run some stalls in the evening. They had that whole big festival about us, you know? I think we should do something for them.

[ It's been disgustingly hot the past few days. Marinette was definitely not a fan of the super high temperatures, which is why she looks exhausted when she flips the network feed on. ]

I know I shouldn't draw attention to it because it makes it worse, but this -heat- is awful. I've been helping the crafting guild making outfits, but I gotta tell you - it's hard to stay motivated with this weather.

I want to at least get two more outfits done before stopping though. Of course in addition to that I'm working on my own dress for the Midsummer Ball that Valdis announced a few days ago. I'm really kind of looking forward to that - [ Oh BOY is she. ]

So, who else is going?

[ Anyone she knows? Granted she didn't know a lot of pepole here yet, but she was gonna get her mingle on at the party, so that'd be resolved right quick. She was about to add an offer to make accessories for someone, but - no no, Marinette. She really needed to stop taking on so much extra. ... unless a friend mentions wanting something made. She still had to work on Adrien's shirts. GAH, so much to do so little time~! ]

[Valdis appears happier than people might be used to seeing. She has a genuine smile gracing her features, and a sly look in her eyes.]

I am happy to announce that on August twenty first, we will be having a Midsummer Ball at the Courtyard of Public Opinion. Everyone is invited and it is sure to be a wonderful evening.

Formal attire is a must. I have the names of a few tailors that do excellent work if anyone is interested.

[Because who doesn't love pretty dresses and suits]

For security, I will have KPD officers working the event and all foreigner officers are required to attend in order to help keep an eye on things.

[And no, there is no getting out of it.]

Weather permitting, events will start around three in the afternoon. Anyone who would like to volunteer for setup is welcome to help. We will be setting up the night of the twentieth with finishing touches added the next day.

Thank you.

Mr. Holmes isn't here any more.

[Conan pauses for a moment, as if he was about to say something else. But really, nothing else needed to be said. Anyone who cared enough to know about Sherlock's whereabouts were smart enough to draw their own conclusions from that.

But on to his other business. Sherlock's disappearance had once again left Conan in the position of being an eight-year-old with no caretaker. Even here he couldn't hold an apartment by himself. Which left him with very few options.]

Is anyone looking for a roommate? I have an apartment, but I don't think I'll be allowed to stay here by myself.

spoilsfun

You know what's really boring? Being stuck inside without anything to do.

Sherlock hasn't let me out of his sight for days, and the only thing left here to read is chemistry textbooks.

I’ve made a fascinating discovery about your Red Dust.

[ For a moment that seems to the end of it but added as, what seems to be an after thought- ]

Oh, and it looks like I've managed to figure out how to stabilise it before you. Tough break that. If you're feeling the need to try and extract the information from me, I invite you to try. You know where I'll be. SH

[Penny's leaning back in a cafe chair, feet up on what's presumably another chair as he clicks on the video. He's casually smoking a cigarette. Chilling. He sighs, as if this is such a chore.]

I told some little teenage mutant nerd turtle I would pass on a message, so here it is: If you're a foreigner, and you adopted a turtle.. or you birthed a hatchling, or..? It wasn't very clear. Whatever. If you were some kind of parental turtle figure, Quintet- Quantum? said they're all doing fine and not to worry.

Even though they're basically playing on their mom's grave, which is a little weird to me, but maybe turtles dig that, I don't know.

I'm sure you'll have some dumb questions I can't answer, but go ahead.

[He takes another drag on his smoke and posts the video.]

I keep feeling like I've forgotten something important about today.

I need the professional opinion of a botanist and chemist well versed in the elements and compounds of this world. SH

[ Unfortunately his knowledge just doesn't cover it. For the moment. ]

{ Private to John Watson }

Meet me at the university lab. SH

{ Private to Valdis }

I need to show you something. Can you be at the University lab within the hour?

Weird question, but has anyone else been contacted by any of the kedan out of nowhere? Asking about your work, or anything like that?

[Technically the saying goes 'two is a coincidence, three is a pattern,' but any scientist knows that sample size is dependent on the question being investigated. In this case, Tony thinks that n=2 is significant.]

[ Here's a face you haven't seen on the consoles in a while, Keeliai. In fact, it's been about 15 months, and he's looking (if you can see him) plain gobsmacked. ]

Uh. Please tell me someone's been messing with the date feature on the consoles.

[ And then under his breath: ]

Or I'm in major trouble.

[The video flips on to show Erskine, gorgeous as always, and actually not looking dog-tired for once! In fact, he's smiling. This is possibly the happiest Erskine has looked on the network while sober.

...which probably has to do with the attractive redhead hovering in the background. Those who've seen Erskine's echo stone will recognize Hopeless. Those who haven't might recognize the man Erskine's been attached at the hip to for the last couple of weeks.]

Right, hello everyone. So, Hopeless had a question--

[The redhead in the background scoffs gently.]

Alright, we had a question. How old are all you Foreigners out there? We're interested in age demographics. You can be vague if you like, and you don't have to answer of course.

And in the spirit of sharing, I... missed my last birthday. It was in February. Which I suppose makes me 409 now.

[The video opens with Fai standing outside in the streets of Keeliai, in the Central district not far from the Midnight Hotel. He's grinning at the camera like a giant dork. Probably because he is a giant dork. The video is shot so that not much shows beneath the collar of his coat.]

Kuro-pu~~

[There is a gruff, Kurogane-type voice in return.]

What is it, darling?

[Fai ducks his head to the side a little.]

Aww, Kuro-cutie always says the sweetest things~

[There is something tiny and stifled that might be a giggle, but it's certainly not coming from Fai. The voice that answers is again the deep, gruff voice of the ninja.]

Kurogane might be the sweetest, but Fai is the cutest~ ♥

[There's a heart audible in that voice. There should not be audible hearts.

The giggle can no longer be stifled, and out of Fai's coat pops a small white creature with long ears, a cheerful expression, and a red jewel in the middle of its forehead.

...Mokona is laughing. A lot. Actually they're both cracking up pretty badly.]

((ooc: anyone can feel free to respond to the trolls :3 ))

[Hey, look, it's Adrien. He's avoided the communicators while the weird memory stuff was going on, and there's still an awkwardness about him as his face appears on the screen. People know some of his deepest secrets now, and he's not sure how to process that.

Still, this is something he's not about to let slip by. It feels important.]

So...hi, everyone. Adrien here. Obviously.

[Okay, so he's still trying to deal with some people knowing he's not just Adrien. He'll just be nervous about that for a while. Don' mind him.]

Anyway, I realised that it was a whole year ago yesterday that I came here. So I guess that's something important, huh? I didn't even realise that much time has passed, I guess I like it here enough that the time just flew by.

...So yeah. Just thought that was something good to announce. I'm...actually really glad to have met you guys, to have the chance to live here.

[This place has given him more freedom to be himself than he could ever truly explain.]

What I mean is...thank you! For being so welcoming, for making this such a nice place to live. I'm grateful.

[The video switches on to the sight of a pretty man with an eyepatch and a mop of blond hair, grinning and waving back at the camera. He's wearing what looks like a slim black kedanese suit, which shows off just how skinny he is, and... yes. That's a frilly pink apron over the suit.]

Hello everyone!

[His voice is light and high, his tone cheerful and friendly.]

I suppose I should introduce myself, shouldn't I? My name is Fai. I'm new to this world--it's nice to meet everyone! Well, sort of. [He laughs] It looks like I'm going to be helping in the kitchen at the Midnight Hotel for a while, and a little bird told me today is Valentine's Day. We didn't have Valentine's Day where I'm from, but my companions and I learned about it during our travels and I rather like the idea. So~~

[He turns the handset toward the room behind him--it's the kitchen of the Midnight Hotel, and it's absolutely full of treats. Chocolate cakes, heart-shaped chocolates, cake pops... you name it, Fai's probably made it, and everything looks professionally-made and delicious. He starts speaking again without moving the camera back to himself.]

My chocolate fondant was quite a hit a few worlds ago, so I thought I'd see what I could whip up. But.... As you can see, I may have gone a little overboard. So if anyone out there needs a treat for a friend or a co-worker, or a sweetheart or a ~potential sweetheart~, please stop by! I'm not charging much, so everyone can afford what they'd like. And if you're nice I might take special requests~

((ooc: Please feel free to toss an action thing at me and have someone stop by in person :3 ))

[In her whirlwind of a return, it's a while before Marinette finds herself a place to access the network. Before she does anything else, she scans through the records and very quickly she finds what she needed to. Nothing she wanted to see, but... there it was. Her emotions are all over the place. In her own little rush, she probably doesn't seem okay herself.]

Uh-- oh! Hey everyone!

[Marinette waves quickly at the screen, smiling awkwardly.]

Ugh. So... I'm okay. Just in case anyone was worried-- not that I think anyone was really worried, I just...

[Breathe, Marinette.]

Sorry, this is just all kind of crazy. I can't believe I just disappeared like that. But, uh-- I'm back?

[That probably has to be the worst reunion speech of all time. Seriously. But for the next part she has to dig into some of that Ladybug strength that tended to elude her in her everyday life.]

And Adrien!!! If you can hear this-- [She huffs. Wait for it...] If you were trying to forget me, I swear to god I'll never forgive you.

[Liar. But she is mad. With good reason, in her humble opinion!]

reluctantaccessory

So, um, wow...

This is going sound incredibly stupid on both counts, but would anyone mind lending me some advice on a couple of things? It's nothing really personal, it's just I'm having a little trouble with a couple of small things. (A breath, calm yourself, calm yourself.) Okay, so for starters... I need to look for a job. I used to work at the cat cafe, but that's gone now I think. So, I was thinking of something that I would like to do. And I kind of think I wanted to start a business again. I used to do that. A scooter rental shop in my own world and in another place I was at I ran a consignment shop...

I think if I was going to do that again, I would want to start a bakery or something like that...

(She might even be smiling based on her tone of voice now.)

What kinds of things would you want to see sold? How much do you think I should charge? Should I think about doing something else? What's setting up something like that going to take? What am I missing here...

(Oh, right. She has to ask about this other thing too.)

And now for the second part...

Does anyone know how to build those really cool, big pillow forts? I thought it would be something fun, but I'm having trouble even keeping this little tiny fort upright.

[With the general feeling of deep unhappiness this Christmas has brought to him, and then the loss of Marinette- Adrien has been unusually absent from the network lately - and the city in general, truth be told. He's done his shifts in the healer's guild, and then at night donned the mask and done his police work, but he hasn't really done much socialising. He realises he'd make himself the recluse his father wants him to be, if he keeps this up, so here he is. ]

Hi guys. Sorry I've been quiet lately, it's been- uh. It's just been one of those months. I'm okay, though, promise!

[That's a bare-faced lie and he knows it. Still, he's rather an expert in faking it, so he gives a soft laugh, rubbing the back of his head.]

Weather's been freaky lately, huh? I was kinda expecting us to be three foot deep in snow by now. Still, if anyone needs some place to stay while it's like this or longer, there's a spare room in my place.

[Please someone live with him, he's so horribly lonely. He's stalled enough, though, and now it comes to one of the main reasons he made this broadcast in the first place.]

This is a weird question. But if you learned something here that you probably shouldn't know, is there any way of unknowing it? I know there's a lot of magic here, so I was wondering if anyone knew a way of making someone forget something. Just a specific something, not like...whole memories or anything like that. I appreciate anyone who's got an idea on that.

Thank you.

Now that I'm much better acquainted with this place I will be opening my own consulting detective business. The basis of my operation is this: 1. If you have an interesting problem that you cannot solve on your own then you may feel free to contact me and we'll discuss its potential. 2. Tell me in every detail possible about your problem. Leaving nothing out. 3. From the details you provide I will offer a deduction or decide if further investigation is necessary. If you have an interest in consulting me then there are a few things to keep in mind. 1. I will charge all my clients the same amount. More money is not an incentive. 2. If you cannot afford the designated charge I am open to negotiating the price. 3. I won't waste my time on adultery cases. 4. I will not accept anonymous clients. On that that note, with my work it is likely I'll be far too busy to keep up the apartment and all the shopping. If you would like a job as a house keeper you may apply below, however there are a few key traits I'm looking for in any potentials. 1. Must be able to follow orders. 2. Able to make tea and coffee 3. Willing to do the necessary shopping 4. A strong stomach, not at all squeamish 5. No sort of history involving the abuse (of any kind) of children. -Sherlock Holmes
