[If Allen Walker's going to be honest with himself, he needs help. Pretty badly. And the truth is that he's come no closer to finding it in this place than he has in his world, and the clock is still ticking.

But what he's also come to realize is that what he has here is access to something unlike anything he has at home, which he's been stupidly neglecting. That is, a network of hundreds of people from a multitude of backgrounds and specialties and worlds, right at his fingertips. One of them might even know something that could, indeed, help him. He can't justify squandering this resource.

Especially not when he doesn't even need to come out publicly about his... problem. He has nothing to lose by trying, and perhaps a great deal to gain.

So, after making triple-sure this is going to post anonymously, he writes,]

hello,

i would like to speak with anyone here who has knowledge of demons, or similar beings from their world.

[For lack of a better descriptor.]

especially those familiar with methods of exorcism, or the containment of them.

[He considers adding more, but perhaps the vaguer, the better in this case. It'll have to do.

He resists the powerful urge to close with a 'thank you.']

[Emil still has a lot of doubts about putting himself out there to people he has little business getting involved with and just slightly fewer doubts about the device he's supposed to use, but after a startling run-in with some familiar faces he'd rather not think about again he's a little desperate for people who don't dredge up memories of the worst times of his life. Not to mention, he's still in need of information. So despite how technology tends to bewilder him, Emil sits down and plays with the device and reads instructions until he manages to set up a proper feed. The camera is a little off center and the angle is awkward, but hey - it works.]

Hi, everyone. My name is Emil Castagnier, and I need answers to some questions. First, does anybody recognize the names of Sylvarant or Tethe'alla? Because if so, we come from the same world.

[He's not sure if he should add the next part, but figures it's worth a look.]

Derris-Kharlan, too. I know there are some people from Sylvarant and Tethe'alla here, but I don't know how many.

And second...does anybody know more about the time travel that's done here, and the influences it has on this world? If anyone has more information about the weapons we're given here, I'd like that as well.

These are funny little things, aren't they? Almost like a mirror, except you see other people in them, and they're not even a hologram. But you see yourself too! I think it'd be easier just to talk to people in person, but I'm sure everyone has their reasons for using this. I guess not everybody can fly.

Oh, sorry, I forgot to introduce myself! I'm Colette Brunel, and I'm looking for anyone who's from Sylvarant or Tethe'alla, or even Derris-Kharlan. It's very nice to meet you all, and I look forward to fighting by your side. Don't hesitate to let me know if you need anything.

[The name that appears on the register seems to be "Kaneis". Though for anyone who knows him? He doesn't sound normal. Instead, have a girl's voice that sounds really lazy, blunt and way too casual considering the conversation topic coming through]

Hey, does anyone know what happens to dead people once they get sent away from here? Do they go somewhere else or just back to being dead? I kinda like to know...for my own reasons.

Thanks.

[a beat. Oh wait]

Oh yeah- don't worry! This isn't Ino, she's not dead- well, as far as I know. I'm just in her body until the Initiative sorts stuff out.

Hope I didn't worry anyone! ♥

[Judging by the surroundings-- or what can be seen of them-- Sheena is out shopping at the bazaar. Not a very ninja-like thing to do, but whatever. Girl's gotta eat. Please excuse the awkward camera angle; she's not used to these things just yet.]

I've been here for a couple weeks now, but I wanted to see if I missed anything. Are there any decent restaurants here? What about clothing stores? I know a lot of things have been... scaled back... because the planet isn't in great shape, but I thought I'd ask anyway.

It's a little unrealistic to have a couple hundred people twiddling their thumbs until the next mission. People need a break sometimes.
