Has anyone seen Roxas lately? 

Axel, Xion, Is he with you?

Tch, stupid contraption I don’t eve-Hn…

Oi oi, apparently this is how I’m suppose ta work this thing to talk to everyone huh? Well, alright, first things first. Anyone know a good place to eat ‘round here?

AND-Has anyone seen Gourry? Really tall, long blonde hair, kinda always has this stupid expression. I’m kinda hoping we haven’t gotten separated from each other, he gets lost easily without me.

Pardon me if this is an odd question. It has been a long time since I've been to this city and I'm not sure what has changed. Is anyone here acquainted with--or formerly acquainted with--an individual by the name of Vyers?

Has anyone seen Zelos recently? I've tried contacting him and he hasn't been answering.

To those who don't know him, he is tall and has red hair. He's dressed in a black shirt with a pink vest and white pants.

I do hope he's all right...

So, you’re the lot that wants to find a way outta here. Funny, it looks to me like you don’t.

Yep. Settling into those bogus homes of yours, I’d say you’d just about given up. And here I thought you’d have a little more fight in you, all things considered. Guess you don’t care as much about your friends as they thought. I mean, just look how long they’ve been waiting for you to come home. After this long, can’t say I’d wanna wait for you either.

But, hey, that works for me. With you all here, that just means one less thing in our way. All according to plan; I should have known he’d be right about you.

Ugh! [a small sound of frustration ensues] I've been cooped up for way too long. Oh, well. At least I'm out now.

[a low, dark chuckle, and those who know NiGHTS will realize this is not her normal laugh] I think I've got a lot to catch up on. What's happened since I've been gone? Did anyone miss me?

Most importantly, does anyone want to play a game?

Esteemed guests, dilettantes, and connoisseurs of this prestigious city.

I believe the time has been far too long since we have made the appropriate contact with each other. Forgive me, for I have busied myself with research, research of the most philosophic kind. Again forgive me for at heart I am an inquiring soul.

However.

I intend to remedy my most antisocial tendencies immediately. Why, I believe we should keep a most regular correspondence.

[Throaty chuckle.]

[There’s the sound of "hmming" and "humming." Alice is examining the little box, her bright blue eyes are looking at the screen and turning the electronic journal this way and that. She blinks and then pulls away. She is completely unaware the sounds of her actions are being recorded. She has no idea how this little device works and it certainly didn't come up with the Mad Hatter... Or if it did, he went off on a tangent too quickly for her to fully understand]

Goodness! [A soft British child's voice comes through the microphone.] What a most peculiar sort of box! I’ve not seen something like this before. I wonder what it is! Or perhaps the question to ask is what is does. I don’t think it would mind if I asked both questions though, but you can never tell sometimes! Hmm...

[There is a soft sigh as Alice frowns slightly and bites her lip.]

Oh dear...

Alice you silly thing... You should have asked Mr. Hatter about this... whatever it is.

Now then... [Her voice becomes muffled as she covers the microphone.]

Hmm? What's this? [Her voice becomes more clear as her hands have moved.] Oh it's... a light? What does the light mean? Maybe it isn't a light...

[More sounds.]

Oh I do wish someone could tell me about this most curious thing!

Aside from their sticking to the shadows and the lack of good PR, would anyone happen to have any information on this Organization group? I tried looking through the posts on here, but you can only do so much looking through scraps.

Ahhh, it would appear that I’ve gotten separated from my friends. Saki-chan? Kazumi-chan? Where are you girls? I don’t seem to recognize this area, but I think I’ve narrowed it down a bit.

I’m sorry to bother everyone, but could anyone point me out in the right direction?

( there’s a bit of a strange ‘whump’ noise being made as she taps her finger against the recorder of the communication device. forgive her ignorance, folks, Red is from a time in which typing doesn’t even exist yet. the whole trinket confuses and boggles her, so the fact that she’s managed to turn it on at all is a triumphant small victory )

Um… Hello? ( her voice is small, but welcoming and rather friendly )

Is this working? I don’t understand… ( she trails off momentarily but picks up again: ) Snow? They told me I could ask about you and you might be here…

Snow?
Hello…?

Please answer, Snow…

I realize this will be an overused topic for many of you, but as I am still quite new to the city, I ask that you bear with me. I have recently been made aware of the presence of "reports" regarding experiments of light and darkness. I was wondering if any of you could tell me anything about them. You're welcome to be as scientific and specific as you'd like. I can handle it.

Thank you for your time.

I'm going floor-climbing. Probably to beat up some of the monsters on some of those floors. [ like spira. ]

Anyone who wants to come with me, meet me at the church across the field in an hour. Be ready for a fight and a long journey.

[ she'll be answering replies if anyone wants to talk to her... at least until the hour is up. ]

Right, it's time to get serious. We're supposed to climb to the top of these floors I gather? How many have we found out so far? I've been to a few of them myself, but I can't say they're exactly the easiest to navigate through... and to top things off, it looks like most of 'em are in pieces.

I don't like all these little reports that keep showin' up, either. Rubs me the wrong way, and I don't just mean what it is they're talkin' about. Someone's plantin' 'em around for us... and I figure if we can track down the culprit, we'll be a step closer to gettin' ourselves back out into the fresh air again.

Enough of this playin' around.

( sound of fingers drumming against a tabletop can be heard, followed by a sigh )

I’m beginning to think I’m not very good at this. Perhaps it shouldn’t be blue; after all, it’s not traditional.

( after a beat it sounds as though she’s replying to herself, as if she’s been having a conversation with herself which honestly, she has )

Do I want to be traditional?

Yes, of course I do. I’m marrying him for those silly feeling things; it should be the proper way. Don’t you think?

I think so.

I do think so, don’t I?

Well then. ( there’s a sound of papers being scattered, a whump noise of books falling to the floor of her kitchen and a few clacks as her communicator falls down also ) I’ll be needing a wedding planner rather than try to do this myself then, won’t I?

Actually now that I think on it, we really should set a date for this thing …

( her chair makes a noise of being pushed when she hoists herself up and there’s a “crunch” noise when she steps on her device, she gasps but the feed cuts from being accidentally shut off )

[There's a snapshot picture of a strange place. To Riku, it's a picture of a mishmash of the Wonderland he knew and a twisted, slightly eerie version. It's possible not everyone sees what he does, however...]

Got good news and bad news. The bad news is I didn't find a way out yet. The good news is I did find a new floor. Wonderland. ...But this isn't exactly how I remember it. Parts of it seem messed up for some reason. ...This could be a bad sign regarding the darkness outside Castle oblivion, not sure.

[ooc note: This post happens at the same time as this log.]

[There's the sound of a wolf howl, then the sound of someone fighting something.]

Would you like to fall like your brother?

Come!

[Then sounds of another fight, and a heavy thud like sound, as if someone hit the ground heavily. Soon after the recording clicks itself off.]

This city is so huge - it's hard to believe that it's actually inside a giant castle! It's still pretty easy to get lost here, but I'm sure I'll get the hang of it! Heheh.

So, um, I was wondering - if anyone here can tell me a little about themselves? So many different people have been brought here - I've even met a demon! He's probably a good demon, though.

So, I was kind of thinking I might need to find a job if I'm gonna be here awhile... trouble is, I'm only really good at fighting, and looks like not many people need a hired sword around here. Do they?

I'm goin' stir-crazy without somethin' to do, though! Gotta keep myself busy! The money wouldn't hurt, either... Anyone need any odd jobs done? Stray cats that need rescuing? Anything?
