a: cookie disaster

[ Upon leaving the research center after being briefed via PowerPoint presentation, you'll find a robot that looks like a salt and pepper shaker tailing you, and offering you a fortune cookie! What a cute little robot. It's just so bad that it the cookie gives you strange fortunes like "Someone has Googled you recently". Creepy, huh?

But whether or not you read your fortune out loud, the robot seems to be very, very intent on helping. It follow you around and offer strange, and possibly dangerous advice. Your fortune said "You're allergic to the last thing you ate"? Well, the robot will offer to cut open your stomach to remove the food out! It cares. And this robot will chase you down, threaten you, shoot you with its laser eyes, or all of the above! Apart from that, it's definitely very noisy. Sorry, it's not sorry about how loud it is as it announces to you and to every passerby that "You will spend the next five hours sitting on the toilet"!

(Feel free to think of the most mundane or crazy fortunes and helpful "solutions!") ]

b: error in transporation

[ The metro-rail is basically what everyone who doesn't want to walk uses to get around the colony. It's usually a convenient means of transporation, but with the population growing, the rides start to get crowded! Lucky for you, today isn't one of those days. There aren't a lot of people riding the trains today, and there are probably just three or so people in each cart. You can sit down, and you don't have to smell the person who's invading your personal space because of how crowded it is!

Hold on tight, though, as the train comes to an abrupt stop! The conductor gets every passenger's attention through the intercom right away, and explains that there's some trouble in the next stop that services will be interrupted until further notice. Basically? You're stuck on the train until whatever problem there is is solved. Hope you have nothing important going on!

Well, of course you don't! You just arrived, after all. ]

c: obligatory horror option

[ After being briefed, of course you'd want to find a place to settle down in. Thankfully, the CEO and CERES is generous enough to provide you all with housing, and free rent for two months! Just how swell is that? But upon claiming an apartment of your own, you'll slowly notice that things aren't… how they should be. You blink, and you find the figure of someone who you never ever want to see before you. It's a faceless being, but their other physical characteristics sure are there. You blink again, and they're gone.

You don't feel safe. You start getting paranoid. What if something else happens? Maybe you should find another place to sleep in tonight. Knock on your neighbour's door, or wait outside your building to see if anyone will pick you up.

Or you could always be brave and spend the night at your own apartment. You'll find the lights flickering on and off even though you've switched them off already; the doors opening and closing on their own; the furniture suddenly not being in its place as if someone was dragging them around the house. It's definitely causing a lot of disruption so late at night, and it's not just you who can hear it. Your neighbours can hear the strange noises coming from your apartment, too. ]

d: vivid
✧ ViVid info

[ You thought you were done with ViViD for the day, but for some messed up reason, you clicked on something you weren't supposed to, and you're back in the game.

Your mission? Form a party of two members or more, beat the boss before it beats you! Yes. The boss is a butt with a tongue. It attacks with its tongue by either impaling the character/s, or by releasing pink hairs into the air which will fall all over the stage and causes confusion for a short duration of time.

The mission begins once you've formed a party! Good luck, and don't let love be over! ]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[The sudden stopping of the train doesn't get much reaction from Hide other than a customary glance out the window to see if he could see what's going on. It had been a lucky surprise to get on the train and find so few passengers on board (not a regular sight, that's for sure), but now he's regretting the fact he hadn't simply walked home like usual.

Sighing heavily, he reaches over to dig through the messenger bag at his side, searching for something to kill time with, when his eyes land on a man he hadn't noticed before standing in the corner. He freezes for a moment, a foreboding chill going down his spine.

While they had never traded words, Hide had seen the man in passing multiple times in the CCG office. He doubts there had been anyone in the office who hadn't known the man on sight, constantly followed by a trail of gossip and whispers about all of his exploits. Arima Kishou. The CCG's Reaper himself.

Making sure not to allow his gaze to linger too long, Hide finally pulls a book out of his bag and flips it open to a random page. He bends his head down over the book. He highly doubts that Arima would have a reason to recognize him, but he's not going to chance it.

He watches the man out of his peripherals, taking in details he hadn't noticed at first. Like the briefcase sitting at his feet. He keeps his expression schooled but can't help but grip his book harder as he mentally pleads with the train to start moving again. He has to warn Kaneki.]

[ Of course Arima notices Hide he's seen the other around the office at times too. He doesn't know him by name, just as someone who passes through the office at times. His work always keeping him away from minor aspects of the office, such as idle chatter and gossip. He hasn't actually spoken to Hide before but he can't help but notice the book he's carrying on him. An interesting book to be reading considering the title. In any other world it would be thought of as a book filled with tales of fantasy. But it's a very real and very serious matter back at home. To see someone as young as Hide reading into such things, of course it would pique his interest to an extent.

So he'll approach Hide with his usual calm expression. His head tilting down to face the other eye to him. ] Ogura's book of ghoul dismantling. [ Interesting. ] Most would be too disgusted by the nature of such things to really delve into it much further than the title. But his work is undeniably quite detailed.

[He doesn't notice his mistake until it's too late. Even if Arima doesn't recognize him, he would recognize the book in Hide's possession. Ogura is one of the most reputable sources on all things ghoul-related in their world, and it's hard to avoid his expertise when he's constantly doing some kind of interview on TV. Hide had been so concerned with trying to blend in that he had ended up drawing attention to himself instead.

He catches Arima's approach out of the corner of his eye, but he doesn't look up, wanting to present the image of being utterly enthralled with what he's reading. It's not until the man speaks that he finally looks up to meet the man's eyes.]

Investigator Arima-san! [His eyes widen in surprise, as if he's only just noticed the man. When it comes to the book, he falls back on the same excuse he had given Seidou and Akira about his interest in ghouls.] Yeah, some of this stuff is pretty gruesome. I started reading about ghouls because they kept appearing so much on the news. I thought it would be a good idea to be informed. [He manages a smile that doesn't so much as hint at his discomfort.]

Although the information might not be of any use here.

Being too well informed can sometimes be a burden. [ His eyes look a bit distant as he says that. It's as if he's talking about something entirely different altogether than just a simple book. He'll look back at Hide with an impassive smile a few moments later. ]

It's still better to be on guard. Ghouls along with us could have also been taken to this place.

[ He's not sure whether or not his jurisdiction here would mean anything to anyone. Keeping people safe from ghouls is all he's ever known. But the people here seem vastly different than to those back in his world's Tokyo. There were some who were so much more powerful than even the strongest ghoul he's ever fought. It's strange to think that he might not actually have any need to protect people here. ]

I suppose that's true. I can't hope to know as much about ghouls as one in your profession, Arima-san. [He effects an expression of self consciousness. As if he had been caught doing something he shouldn't have.]

Yeah, I suppose that's true. To be honest, I hadn't even thought of that.

[His brows furrow in worry that's not entirely faked. If Arima is going to be on the look out for ghouls even here, then he definitely needs to warn Kaneki as soon as possible and have him pass it along to Touka. He hasn't seen any sign in the news that either Kaneki or Touka have eaten since his arrival. Which just means that it'll have to happen soon. And disguising what it is from a veteran such as Arima will be no easy feat.]
