I'm not sure where they came from -- perhaps it's the odd streak of good luck the city seems to be having lately -- but I'm grateful to whatever force saw fit to grant me more cigarettes.

[There's a the snap of a lighter and the quiet crinkle of paper burning, followed by several seconds of silence before Seishirou speaks again, sounding amused.] ( Read more... )

Ahh, it seems the seasons are finally starting to change in a normal manner. It's nice out today -- or at least as nice as it can ever be in a place such as this. It's a shame this place is so devoid of life; it would be lovely to be able to watch the leaves change as winter approached ( Read more... )

I can't say I've ever had a book become so fond of me. I don't seem to be the only one encountering oddities with these-- [Thump.] --ah--

[The feed abruptly switches to a shaky video, and when it settles Seishirou's legs are visible from the knees down. The man sidesteps a little as a chair walks -- yes, walks -- by him, and there is a pause of ( Read more... )

[BZZZZZT!]

I see you've gotten no less impatient, communicator-san. Surely you don't think the rest of the city's resident are that eager to hear from me. I know that if I were to drop off the face of the earth quite a few of them couldn't be happier. I have little to say, I'm afraid, and pressing me to speak before I'm ready is rudeOf course ( Read more... )

Hmm, it seems more and more people are getting sick, lately. I wonder what the cause is, this time.

Ahh, but a close friend of mine arrived just recently! Subaru-kun will be sharing an apartment with me while he's here, if anyone needs to get in touch with him. As I said, he's a dear friend of mine, so please treat him kindly.

Hm. Now this is certainly interesting. It requires a fair amount of control and power to craft an illusion like this, let alone draw thoughts and memories out of the mind of another.

[There's a quiet pause, presumably as Seishirou watches whatever the illusion is choosing to show him. Unlike many of the other people who've been shown memories of ( Read more... )

[BZZZZZZZZT!]

Ah--! You're a very rude little machine, communicator! I went to the effort of finding you after those spikes in the earthquake sent you sliding under the couch, and your thanks is to shock me? [There's a vague tsking sound before Seishirou finishes lecturing the communicator and addresses Discedo.]The snow's persistence is rather ( Read more... )

I don't think I've ever seen quite so many butterflies in one place before. It's certainly a unique sight. I'd say beautiful, if could make out more details.

They seem rather prone to biting, of course. [There's a quiet swatting sound and the rustle of butterfly wings in the background.] I'm certain they'll be a mess to clean up ( Read more... )

I have another question for the city's residents.

How many of you feared death in your home world? And given the nature of death in Discedo, do you still fear it now?

[LOCKED to: Muraki]

Kazutaka-san, I've been informed that you're a rather dangerous individual, and that I should avoid you.

[/LOCKED]

Hmmm. These are the first earthquakes I've felt since arriving in this city.

It's rather nostalgic. I wonder if they'll continue and grow stronger.
