[Locked to Residents]

[malnosso]

Greetings, Luceti. I see you've managed to open the proverbial Pandora's Box. I was wondering when that would happen.

More seriously, however- no doubt most of you have noticed the widespread issue that's resulted from that decision. Some might even recall a similar experience occurring years ago. If you're concerned about the affected residents meeting their unfortunate ends once again, well, that's unlikely. Death wouldn't be a particularly beneficial alternative to what you've unleashed this time.

However, there's still the matter of sorting out the spirits now. I'm interested in hearing what you lot have already tried when it comes to dealing with what you've unlocked, but my advice for getting the black spirit to relinquish control is to let the rest do the work for you. Last time this happened, I was able to fix it, but it's beyond my power now.

Discuss it amongst yourselves, trade your theories; I'm sure you'll come up with something. I'll help with what I can. Sooner would be better, though- I make no promises that my former comrades won't take measures to deal with you if this isn't resolved internally within a few weeks.


[ooc: arright kids, true to John's word, he'll be overseeing the discussion. He won't be telling people how to fix this problem, but he'll answer whatever questions he can and give some advice here and there. see what you can work out amongst yourselves and feel free to ping me if I'm needed and don't show up. if nothing comes up within a week, we'll throw you a more obvious bone or two. tally ho~]

Mmmhm. Asami-san. You've got it in one.

[voice]

[tokennonbender]

So. What do people do for dates in a small town like this?

[voice]

[generalflirt]

Depends how creative you get. Dinner and a movie? Lunch and a game? A twilight walk on the beach? A walk up to the Sakura Hill? There's a few options to be had, as long as you're beside someone you want to be beside.

[Katara.

The loyalty he feels for her in that moment is overwhelming. He recalls the promise he made not to date. Even if she said he could ignore it, he wonders if he should be off the hook like that.

Still, he did say this was to resist Tsinku, so he barely relents his smile[

[voice]

[tokennonbender]

Where is Sakura hill? Or what kind of game?

[She's still not entirely certain what a 'movie' is. And she is sadly oblivious to his internal conflicts.]

[voice]

[generalflirt]

It's the hill with the big tree [Well that and four small ones] on the north side of town. It's a little past blooming now, but you can still see some of the blooms on it. They aren't all blown off.

[That is, cherry blossoms]

As for games, there's all sorts, Asami-san.

[voice]

[tokennonbender]

Hmm. I guess I'll have to go see.

[Which isn't a yes to the date.]

That's not an answer. And why do you keep saying san?

[voice]

[generalflirt]

[And it's not a yes. Hah, nice]

It's a cultural thing, actually. [A beat] But what, should I list off a bunch of games for you? It'd be my pleasure.

[voice]

[tokennonbender]

No, of course not. But if you're arranging this date, you should have some idea of what you expect us to do on it!

[She is a classy lady she expect organized things. Unless she hits you with her moped, then it's dinner and smooching.]

[voice]

[generalflirt]

Eeeh, but if I'm arranging a date, I can't give away all my secrets before we have it...!

[Unfaithful. It gives him what feels like and what might actually be an electric jolt]

[voice]

[tokennonbender]

Well, a game sounds more entertaining than a walk, to me.

[La la la oblivious. And she's not even taking this seriously anyway.]

[voice]

[generalflirt]

Mmm, there's something to be said for the romance of walk, but-! I'm not one to disagree with the prettiest lady in the room. [A beat] Which I'm sure is the case for the room you're in at least, so it's two for one deal for my room!

[Brilliant joke? Brilliant joke. He even snickers himself at it.]

[voice]

[tokennonbender]

[There's a little delay before Asami turns her camera on, giving a little wave to it and a friendly smile, her large yellow wings fluttering behind her. She's at home, apparently.]

[--> video]

[generalflirt]

Mmmmhm. Called it.

[And he flicks on his own video. He's also at his house, sitting in a beanbag chair with the thing propped up against his knee. It's awkward with his own yellow wings- which are semi-spread behind him. But hey, he could tell she was pretty just from the little pictures. IF she's going to give him some fanservice , he'll fanservice back! Yeah!!]

[video]

[tokennonbender]

[Another one with wings like hers. Well, that explained some of it, anyway.]

Mm. So are you serious about this whole thing, or do you just randomly ask out every girl who shows up?

[video]

[generalflirt]

Of course I'm serious! [And he plants a hand on his chest, his smile broadening. It ... sort of meets his eyes. But that's a fine detail which might not meet up with the video, let alone something someone who doesn't know him would pick up]

I, Masaomi Kida, am 100% serious about my status in the heart of every girl!

[video]

[tokennonbender]

[A beat. And no, sadly, she can't tell there's anything going on but a bragging boy.]

Every girl?

[video]

[generalflirt]

Na-tu-ra-lly. [A smirk plastered on his face as he waggles a finger closer to the book's camera] I'm a sinful man, you know! My heart has to be open to all the girls who end up being into it, alarming number though that might be!

[He says this without batting an eye - but it is all in good humor. It's meant to imply a certain lack of seriousness, and while he has started to get over that it's easy to fall back on now]

[video]

[tokennonbender]

[She actually laughs at the ridiculous of that, then rests her chin on her hand as she smirks at the camera.]

You can see how that would make me wary of accepting your invitation though, right?

[video]

[generalflirt]

Uh huh? Well, that would be a shame if you didn't, all things considered.

[Just with a little shrug from his sitting position] After all, fear's the mind killer and all that.

[video]

[tokennonbender]

But it's not so much fear as the 'many other girls' part.

No girl wants to be part of a crowd.

[video]

[generalflirt]

Crowd? Mmmm~ I'm not into that sort of thing either. I like to keep things mano-a-mano.

[video]

[tokennonbender]

Yet you just pretty much claimed you flirt with all the pretty girls.

[video]

[generalflirt]

Eeeh, are there other girls here right now, Asami-san? I'm all yours, and for this moment and this time, the two of us might as well be the entire world. [There's an Adam and Eve joke to be made here, but Tsinku rejects that outright and he decides to just agree]

[video]

[tokennonbender]

I'm preeeeetty sure it doesn't work like that, you know. Even if you want it to.

[Asami is a realist. Also has way too many jealousy issues for that sort of thing.]

[video]

[generalflirt]

So you're the asteroid for planet Masami?
