I've been thinking and ( Offscreen there's a voice that just calls back you're always thinking, but Nautica continues on undaunted! No one asked you, Chromia. ) and I've been wondering about why we're here. Not about our purpose for being here - I've decided that for the moment to assume that all information regarding that is accurate because there just isn't a good way to quantitatively account for it when creating this particular dataset. Categorical variables, you know?

I mean I could account for it, but I'll be the first to admit that I'm making a large number of assumptions as it is and I'd like to minimize any further skewing of results.

( Someone hasn't actually gotten around to her point yet, and it's with another helpful cough from offscreen that Nautica snaps back to it. )

Oh! Right, sorry. Anyway, I was wondering if there's any correlation between arrivals and existing relationships. Take me, for example - Chromia and I are close friends, and there's any number of people that I know here. Although they might not know me yet - I suppose I could factor in timelines differences somehow-- ( She looks pensive for a moment, one finger tapping against her chin as she considers this. That shouldn't be too hard. ) But my hypothesis is that by arriving here, you increase the chance that others from your universe will eventually follow, and the closer the relationship the more likely that individual will show.

There's an attached survey. If you'd like to fill that out and respond to this post with it, I'd appreciate it. So, um, thank you? Preemptively.

( And flicking the video feed off, because she can hear her roommate groaning already. )

Hi everyone! I hope you are having a good day!

[Diarmuid waves excitedly at the screen for a moment, before having to move quickly to catch the strange little animal that starts to slide out of his lap.]

Sorry about that, Lir. I guess I waved too hard...

[The creature makes a soft burbling sound and blows a bubble at Diarmuid. The bubble bumps against the boy's nose and breaks causing him to giggle. He then turns his attention back to the terminal.]

Is there anyone here who remembers me talking about wanting to have a ceremony to celebrate all of our friends who have been sent away? I would like to have it next month by the river. There should be food and maybe even some activities, since the point is to have fun remembering our friends instead of being sad. At the end, I want to put candles out on the river floating in boats to send our wishes for our friends to them!

Will you guys help me out? Please? Lets do something nice for all the people who aren't here anymore! You don't need to have lost someone to come or help either. We're all friends here, right?

( Location is very important! [Action] )

Okay, wow- hi everyone!

[In the middle of a flurry of lace and fabric, Cupid pulls a safety pin from a pincushion and onto a dress form. She's had her mirror tablet hooked into the network and it's obviously settled on a bedside table from what's visible behind her. She waves cheerily before momentarily disappearing beneath some fabric to correct some draping before pinning it in place, then reappears with a thin ribbon coiling into her hair to settle her chin on her hand against her bed, smiling.]

So hey, I was in the middle of working up a holiday outfit and I realized- I hadn't seen hide or hair of any planning for a holiday party! And okay, granted I get that this place doesn't exactly seem very festivity-intensive at the moment, but hey! We can't expect them to accommodate every holiday, right?

So I was thinking...

[Her smile turns slightly impish- and hopeful.]

Would anyone want to go in on throwing a bash with me? We can even plan a Secret Santa and everything! What do you say?

[It's not often that Yu uses the network for anything considering he likes to speak face to face. But there was something he was curious about...stupid but yes. It's kinda important to him.]

What are some of your favorite dishes from home? Just for the sake of being curious.

[Told you. Ok, so maybe he wanted to try something new when it comes to cooking. Besides everyone else already asked about the hot/cold mess and the deep meaningful questions. Strange how it ends there except...it doesn't. The next part is locked to a select few.]

[With the recent temperature fiasco, Pilouette hadn't been paying attention and September kind of snuck up on her. Now with a particular day coming up, she's found that she's ended up with a somewhat...odd problem. Having found herself unable to figure out an answer on her own, she decides to turn to the network. ]

You all know how people can come here from different worlds and different times and stuff, right? Well, um...hypothetically. Say someone just had their birthday. Like, maybe a month before coming here. But only a few months after getting here, it's already their birthday again!

Do I...uh, they just keep being the same age and wait a whole year or should they say they're older now? Oh! But the year is different, too, isn't it? I wonder if that matters...I've been thinking about it all day, but it just seems like, so totally complicated...!

[Kid's in casual clothes, trying to cool off, because wow is he drenched in sweat.]

If anyone has any good ideas on how to cool down, I'd appreciate hearing them. Ordinarily my body isn't bothered by heat or cold, but something seems to be wrong. I've tried a cold bath and ice so far, and I don't know any other ways since I've never been in this position before.

[And have some muttering as he goes to end the feed.]

Is this how humans feel when they first get to Death City? When I get home, I'll have to suggest to Father about adding more public water fountains or something...

lovespasta

Ciao!~

I think I picked out the right ingredients to make pasta! I can help those that want to learn how cook now. If anyone else is interested I might be able to hold a small cooking lesson. [ That was being helpful right? And quite possibly make new friends! ]

Germany! If you see this I haven't gone to the bookstore yet. [ He completely forgot about it, too worried over picking the right vegetables. ] If you want to go still, we can. I didn't want to worry about the food spoiling while being in the bookstore. It'll give you time to see if they have any interesting books!

What else does everyone do around here?

soldiernoclass

Oh, hey - I bet it's working, this time!

[ To the technologically impaired, these terminals are a little daunting - who knew you had to take your gloves off to work a touchscreen? Not to mention the thought of hooking up to some nebulous and well-populated network. He may or may not have spent the last ten to fifteen minutes talking to nobody, slowly realizing he was talking to nobody, and then trying again to figure out how to get to the Help tab.

Anyway, it's definitely broadcasting, now. Maybe. Probably. He's not trying again if it isn't. (He might.) ]

Am I really talking to all the other, uh, visitors out there? I guess that's pretty handy. Though... It feels like I've been doing a lot of talking, lately, and not a whole lot of actually getting to know the people I'm stuck with. [ Which more or less translates out of polite doublespeak to: he's tired himself out trying to figure this place out one way, how about FAQ round #2? ] So I thought, why not just ask? A little old-fashioned, I admit, but... I've got nothing to lose.

[ He shrugs, smiling thinly. ] So tell me about yourselves, okay? Or your 'worlds,' or whatever. And just 'cause it's no fair if I don't start, I'm Zack. I used to wanna travel, when I was a little younger. [ A pause, and a little more genuine humor leaks into that smile. ] I guess I sure got my wish, huh?

_{[The feed starts with a bit of a whine as Haru's face comes on screen. He seems a little frustrated, cheeks slightly puffed before he starts talking.]}

Yuki and I have been here for soooo long! He's always laying in bed and won't get up. I'm sick of eating pizza and drinking pop! I want whitebait bowl and fish! I don't like doing dishes by myself!

How, how? How can I get Yuki to stop being sad? Yuki is my best friend...I tried leaving him alone because when Yuki is quiet and alone he's thinking of important things! But...it's been a long time now.

What do I do? He won't even fish!

How can I make Yuki smile?

puckoff

[ The feed starts with a bespectacled face looking worriedly into the screen. He smiles when he makes sure it's working. ]

Oh, great- Hello everyone! Well, you know, they're kind of hard to miss, but I figured I'd ask the network here to see if anyone's heard anything about these power outages and flickering we've had going on. Kind of a bad time, eh, with the season it is. Miserable to be without air conditioning...

[ Laughing and tucking some hair behind his ear. Being on camera always made him a little nervous. ]

A-anyway, I thought the generator meet-up thing a couple weeks back was supposed to create more power...? I dunno, just figured I'd ask and get anyone else's thoughts on it. Hope it's not a bad sign, you know?

_{[America greets the audience with a wave and goes straight into his explanation.]}

Hey everyone, I know most of us are still just acquaintances, but that's exactly why you should come help celebrate and mingle at the surprise party I'm throwing for Canada! _{Or whatever he's been introducing himself as. Has he been going by Matthew because of the kidnapping thing?} Who said we can't have fun between missions to repower the city and get home? NOBODY!

Back in our world, July first is Canada Day and that's when my buddy Canada also celebrates his birthday! His country is going to be... _{[Excuse him while he tries to do the math.]} One hundred... forty five? Forty six? Yeah! So come help make his day special!

RSVP and let me know if you can come! Everyone's invited! America out!

[A screen would pop up and a good-looking man who is seemingly in his mid-30s would appear.]

Whoever's watching this, maybe you'll take enough of an interest. I'm seeing all these introductions and thought I'd follow suit.

My name's Hal. And like many of you, I'm not from here. I'm from the U.S. and I'm definitely not home. Does anyone know an exit? I was in the middle of something back home until I was rudely taken to this place.

How else did you all get here? What were you all doing? Maybe we can find some answers there first.

[Minako was always a fan of the beach, having formed some of her favorite memories on the shores of Yakushima. It seemed like the most sound choice when it came to getting away from the general pandemonium caused by everyone's sudden arrival (and consequentially, departure from their own world) and gaining some peace and quiet to mull over the information packet given to her in the plaza.

She was sitting in a chair on the porch of one of the restaurants over-seeing the ocean, a large glass of iced tea garnished with an umbrella, orange wedge, and colorful straw her only company. Her city map was flattened out over the table, weighed down with her glass, a sea shell, and her mp3 player. In her hand was the letter addressed to her, though she'd read over it several times.]

...touching people, huh. [She mutters under her breath.] S'probably a good thing some people I know didn't wind up here with me. [CoughcoughMitsurucoughcoughShinjirocough.]

Sorry for bailing on the welcoming party so fast! [Oh, you didn't think she realized she was recording? Not at all! Have a bright smiling face, folks!] I'm Minako Arisato, nice to meet'cha! [She gives a little two-fingered salute before leaning back and fanning herself with her letter.] ...it was the middle of winter where I came from, so I guess I should make getting some seasonally appropriate clothes a priority. I'm sweating like a horse!

[She sits forward, though from the view of her feed, it looks more like a lunge.] But once that's out of the way, maybe we should get right down to business so we can get this problem solved and sent back home!

[She raises a single finger.] Touching, right? No big! Who's up for a game of tag?
