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! ]

topping robots for love & justice (& other great tales);
[ right, so there is definitely a commotion just down the hallway and around the corner. very loud voices (one of them a woman?), some banging, and suddenly there's a very loud bang, and a robot goes flying through the air, slamming into the wall. ]

That is not-- [ and suddenly a surprisingly dainty young woman stalks from around said corner, shaking out a fan and holding it in front of her face, planting a foot squarely in the middle of the poor fallen robot. ] --how you approach a lady! [ a lady who'd just apparently beaten the insistent little terror into a metal pulp. ] And anyway, I don't accept candy from weird little monsters.

[ seeming to realize she has an audience, she whips around, and suddenly she's all sweet smiles behind the edge of her fan. ]

Oh, thank goodness. Someone who can help me.

[ danger, will robinson. ]

this being twinless thing sucks;
[ normally, okuni wouldn't think much of the bumps and weird flickers and faces. she and baren are cursed twins, after all, and the kumou shrine has been rumoured to be haunted for years, and then there's the whole orochi business-- but it's different here. baren isn't with her for basically the first time in her life, and it's actually kind of.. lonely. it's not so bad when it's the two of them against the world, but when it's just her, it's a lot more noticeable.

the maybe-haunting gives her an excuse, at least, and who knows? maybe the neighbors are fun. she could do with another justice-obsessed idiot like sakicchan, at least until she finds a way to con this CERES organization into bringing baren here.

.. so when the stranger who owns this apartment comes home, okuni is seated on top of the table in the kitchen and she's basically eaten everything in their fridge. how did she even get in?! ]

[For Takasugi, too, the idea of being haunted by ghosts or spirits or anything probably isn't all that strange—he's done more than enough to deserve it, at least—but seeing some woman sitting on the table with the scraps of whatever had been in the kitchen while he was gone is still enough to give him pause. Ghosts, he could accept, but this... This is definitely Something.

How did she get in here... Why is she even here in the first place?!

Still, despite all the questions this raises, Takasugi plays it cool.]

I didn't realize I should be expecting company.

[...just how bothered by this is he?!]

[ boo, why isn't he freaking out? what a dull reaction. still, at least this probably means that he's not going to try to kick her out immediately, so there's a small silver lining..

okuni licks her thumb, then crosses her legs neatly, tapping her fan against the top of her knee as she offers him a sweet smile. ]

It's all right, I forgive you for leaving the door locked. [ what. ] I mean, it really was terribly rude, you know, but I'm a kind soul.

[Why is she acting like he really should have been expecting her?!

It's too soon to tell if she's just playing along with this or if there's really something wrong with her, but— well, he's a patient man, and it's not like there's anything else to do right now. So time will tell.

(Probably?!)]

That is kind of you. [He says it with a smile, but it's more out of amusement than genuine appreciation.] And what did I do to deserve such kindness? I'd ask if we've met, but I don't usually associate with "kind souls."

[ Oh hell, it's another Kumou.

The face, that fan, and -- mostly -- the personality while she's beating the crap out of a robot with said fan, and 180 that happens when she notices she has company. Spending ten years with Tenka, it's impossible not to see the resemblance.

The question, however, is where in the timeline does she fall. Shirasu offers a sort of bemused expression, also very familiar feeling when one deals with residents of the Cloudy Shrine. ]

I'm guessing with information, not helping you fight things.

[ and yet, okuni will probably find tenka boringly tame by comparison. poor anyone who has to deal with the twins.

the comment earns a lift of her brows, and she glances briefly from shirasu to the smoking robot, then back to shirasu again. white hair, violet eyes. ... ah. but while it might be a recognizable combination where she's from, it doesn't necessarily mean anything here. (still, it's probably a good idea to be wary.)

she snaps her fan shut once more, pasting on her most sugary-sweet smile. ]

Well, a girl has to know how to protect herself in the world, right? [ especially when you're one half of a despised pair and everyone in the known world seems to be after you and your twin. ] And he was very rude.

[ It's a shame their sides are not on the best of terms. Shirasu could probably relate to her life more than a little. Granted, his predecessor was probably after her and her brother, as well.

And yeah, that smile is fooling absolutely no one. ]

The machines aren't known for their manners. But no real challenge for members of the Kumou family.

[ ... damn. he is a fuuma. but they haven't really had trouble with the fuuma up until now, so what does it mean that he both knows who she is and is still being friendly with her? he has to know that she knows what clan he's from, so what kind of game is this? .. isn't it enough that she's just had to deal with the iga? (maybe she and baren really are cursed.)

her smile doesn't waver, but there's definitely something like calculation in her gaze now for people who know how to look for it. (for people familiar with the kumou family.) ]

Oh? Our bad name has spread so far, then? [ she laughs brightly. ] That's exciting! I'll have to tell Baren!

[ "Bad name"? That earns a raised eyebrow. Though understanding dawns when she mentions another name. Kumou Baren, one of the previous heads of the family, along with his twin sister.

Another pair of cursed twins connected with the Orochi, three hundred years ago.

It's a decent working theory. ]

Bad in some circles, I'm sure. Not so in others.

[ .. oh great. does that comment mean that the fuuma are looking for the orochi..? her eyes narrow faintly, but then she shifts, smile returning, wicked and sly at the edges. ]

Do we have admirers among the Fuuma, then? Goodness, how flattering! Somehow, though, I think it's less to do with our beauty and charming personalities and more to do with what we know.

[ the iga aren't getting the orochi's name out of her, and neither are you, sir. ]

[ Or more, what one of you most likely is. ]

Let's just say after your time, Orochi-sama seemed to favor the Kumou family above all others.

[ If the vessel is one of the twins, then would he be bound to serve? The prospect does make his pulse quicken, but he doesn't kneel to her -- not yet. He would need proof. ]

[ after her time? she knew this place was strange, but surely he isn't saying that he's from her future? .. if so, that means that one of them will survive, at least, and go on to have children of their own. but how can either of them do that? if she has to kill baren, if baren has to kill her.. how can they possibly continue? as much as she's resigned to doing what needs to be done, she can hardly imagine wanting to survive in a world without her twin.

her fan snaps back open, hiding the brittle twist to her mouth. what an ugly reality this man has forced her to face. she already doesn't like him. ]

Is it any wonder, really? Everyone loves a challenge, right? [ and she'll be damned if she doesn't fight it with every fiber of her being. ]

[Hearing the commotion she's quick to move towards it, curious about what the source might be. She is excited to see it until a robot flying in front of her makes her stop in her tracks.]

E-Eh?

[Lily almost squints when she sees the woman...wow, she looks familiar. When spoken too she jumps a little and puts her hands on her hips.]

It's a robot! Not a monster! [...says someone that thought they were killer monsters at first as well.]

[ staring down at the little blonde girl from behind the curve of her fan, okuni's brows arch. ] .. Aren't they the same thing? [ robot might as well be another word for 'metal death monster', right?

she drops into a crouch, then, snapping her fan shut and folding her arms over her knees, head tilting. ]

Ladies have to know how to defend themselves from rampaging robot monsters, don't you think?

[The more she stares at this woman...the more familiar she becomes to her, or well certain parts!] ...Kinda? A lot of them try to hurt you here but some are okay. We didn't have stuff like this back home.

[Standing still she watches the woman closely as she crouches down in front of her and then she looks at the fan a little more intently...before she puffs out her chest at the new comment.]

Uh-huh, I can defend myself! I can use Bandersnatch and break them!

[This small tattooed child has a means of protection at least.]

Neither did my brother and I. [ wherever baren is. if CERES doesn't bring him soon, they're really going to regret it. she's a hellion, after all.

.. oh, this is kind of unfortunate. this little girl is kind of cute. and also apparently all alone? where are her parents? why does she have a tattoo? it doesn't look like a seal or a spell, so what's its purpose?

being a cursed twin all her life and hated by oumi, okuni's skin is basically armour by now. she has no real weaknesses (except her brother, who's just as tough), but.. she does have a tiny soft spot for orphan girls. ]

Sounds kind of scary. What's a bandersnatch?

Brother? [Lily has picked up on why she and the fan looks familiar...Tenka! Could this woman be Tenka's sister? He never mentioned a sister...but maybe with the different timelines...who knows?]

Do you know Ten-nii? Is he your brother? He has a fan like that!

[She wasn't completely alone here but she didn't have her real parents anymore. Long story with that one though the tattoo was still a bad omen mark. Got to love superstitious people...and towns.]

He's my chain I can summon him and he will protect me.

[ ever since Kagemitsu got killed by Hirari and Shirasu, he has been wary of trespassers, so he's not too happy to see someone in his new apartment. He just moved. And he's already a bit freaked out due to the delusions (because it has to be delusions, right?) already.

But Poko, who sits in his arms, seems really calm about it... So it wasn't that bad a person?

Looking her over properly, he definitely recognize her family traits. ]

Hello, nee-san. What generation are you?

[ For a moment, he forgets that he should elaborate. Sorry about that, descendant. ]
