Does anyone else think there might have been a connection between the riots and this many disappearances? It's just a theory. I can't help but think of this as strange.

Also, my house is here. I'm moving into it. If anyone wants to come in, go ahead; there's a photo attached, so it isn't hard to find. I have a key for you, Nike.

That could be so. Perhaps, in this time of civil unrest, those in power lost their hold over many of us here while focusing their energies on attempting to resolve the issue.

Your house is beautiful.

[halfclock]

If that's the case, it might help us with our own escapes. If their power limits when it's spread too much, we could easily use that as part of any plan. Should we test it?

... Thank you.

[aseparateworld]

I am not sure how we could test it, though I would like to return home as well.

You are welcome. It is pleasant to have a place from home in which to live, I find.

[halfclock]

Easy. We'd just have to start a riot of our own. They had trouble controlling ordinary citizens; we'd be more of a difficulty. But it might be better to try a subtler approach with a better plan. A riot is too concentrated.

It's just a house. It doesn't really matter. It has my research and my display wall in it, though, so I'm glad.

I wouldn't doubt a connection.

[halfclock]

Should we bother trying to investigate it?

[loyaldragon]

I doubt we'll get far with any sort of investigation. This place is very good at being secretive.

[halfclock]

Some of us have abilities to get around that.

So many people are gone! It feels empty. I hope this isn't a bad sign.

[halfclock]

It probably is. It wouldn't hurt to be prepared just in case. We don't have strength in numbers anymore.

[pinkmoonrabbit]

I hope there's something we can do. I don't like seeing people hurt.

[halfclock]

[okay, this girl is reminding her of Madoka an uncomfortable amount.]

If there's something we can do, people will probably get hurt in the process. It can't be helped.

A connection is plausible.

[halfclock]

Should it be investigated, or should we just leave it and see if it progresses?

[ironicinitials]

Progress would imply a pattern. Wait.

[halfclock]

That seems best. It would be stupid to pursue it or try to use it when there's a possibility that they aren't related events. I'll take notes and keep an eye on things for now.

That really pisses me off! I haven't done anything and these people are rioting about....hell I don't know!

Wow, that's a nice house. Would I have to...pay rent or something?

[halfclock]

They're rioting about the fake Queen Valrune. You should pay more attention.

It wasn't intended as a permanent residence for anyone. I only have the one bedroom. It's just a place if anyone wants to find me, and a few people could stay there temporarily if they really needed to.

[kuma_killer]

Why? Is she that important?

Oh, well nevermind then.

[halfclock]

She's one of the rulers of the city. They're angry to find out that she's been an imposter all along. The real Queen is dead. It means that something suspicious is going on, if the one who has been enforcing rules isn't who she says she is.
