[Well, she figured she would give this a shot. It isn't the worst idea she's had. She spent all night composing it and decided to post it anonymously to keep up with their 'hiding' theme. It might make some people feel more comfortable.]

I just want to say this:

The future is yours to create. If you don't believe me, that's your choice. You might've been through a lot that says otherwise. But you'll know what I mean if you've been shut out or dismissed by a cruel system. It's something you have to hope in anyway. In a place like this, people who never belonged, were never listened to or never given a chance should stick together.

If you want to talk, we'll listen. If you want to learn to fight, we can do that too. We won't judge you. Be who you are with all your might.

We're the Mekakushi Dan. If you want in, anyone can join. We're all living on a warfront but some of us have been fighting our whole lives just to have a part in this world.

Let us know if you're interested.

[She'll be replying anonymously, too, if anyone takes up the offer.]

[Anonymous texts seem to be all the rage lately. Hilbert doesn't mind though; secrecy and mystery are things he's interested in as far as explorations go.]

That sounds like a pretty cool gig you've got. I'm in.

[He's got a reason for it, too. He might've never been shut out by society or anything like that, but he believes the future can be made too. He's seen it happen, once by a friend and another by his own hand, and he wants to help out.]

[Even if he can't see it, Kido is relieved her message has been pretty well received.]

Yeah? Good. We've been looking at the catacombs for a place to meet up. We can arrange something if you want.

[That catacombs sounds like a pretty creepy place. Eeks would feel right at home, being the part-ghost he is.

But maybe showing off your trusted partner to a gang - even a well-meaning one - wouldn't be too good. Hilda'd probably warn him against it. Hilbert decides it'd be a good idea to scope them out first as people.]

I'd like that. I'm free on weekends, if that's okay with you. Any time at all.

Yeah, we were thinking after this festival thing people are talking about is over. We're going to try to recruit there, too. See if you can find us for fun.

[Even Kido is still a kid sometimes.]

[That won't be hard with Kano around.]

That sounds like a good idea, since everyone'll be there. And you're on - I've got good eyes!
