035. Exchange [Voice Post]
Sep. 30th, 2008 05:28 pmWhat an interesting development...
So Mr. Summers life was taken. He was killed, to be more accurate. But for what purpose?
Hm. He was not someone who I was entirely familiar with, but I found his opinions of this experiment interesting just the same. It is a shame that I could not have been more familiar with him before his mind was overtaken by madness, or... was it rage?
In the end, he was the one who managed to stop the wheels from turning, causing the balance to become upset as a result. Everyone suffered on all sides between the teams sent out, the dwindling supplies and the apparent sealing off of the lake.
Perhaps the only thing controlling this city is chaos.
Now a trump card has been played by their hand in order to have that girl, Lolita, returned to their hands. As I have no powers of my own, I can suffer nothing from this choice. But it does beg the question of which side is really the one with more strength in this situation.
( Private to Seishirou; Unhackable )
( Private to Naruto; Hackable )
Hm. Kaitou X, were you able to dismantle it in the end? I hope that the current situation is not causing you any unpleasantness.
Take care not to get badly hurt until the current matter resolves itself, please.

034. New Life [Accidental Video Post]
Sep. 23rd, 2008 10:10 pm[A light snowy static crackles over the communicator, the video function activating. It focuses on the figure of a woman wearing a dark-colored jacket and having short, magenta-colored hair who is currently trying to wake someone sleeping on a bed by pressing on one of their shoulders. The location is not clear, but it looks like an ordinary room, if not in the usual state of disrepair for a typical apartment in Discedo.]
"-ake up... Wake up, Sai."
[A grunt can be heard from the figure sleeping in the bed before one of his hands twitches along with the fingers connected to the hand. Those eyes begin to flutter open.] ".... Ai?" [It's a boy, with dark colored hair and crimson eyes. But he is wearing a familiar white shirt that appears a few sizes too large for his own body.]
"It's getting late. I wouldn't want you to sleep through another meal than you have to... Have you been experiencing any pain or symptoms of illness since that day?"
"No.... No, I haven't. But once more.... Everything is zero."
"Yes. That part of you has not changed... You will have to begin again."
[Sighs.] "Were... We close to learning of my identity with the last identity?"
"No. You were reluctant to continue your search. There were many dangers pressed upon us. Neuro returned, and authorities drove us into hiding..."
"Did I become weak? It shouldn't have mattered as I could eat them."
"... It is not my place to say."
"I see.... Go and fix me something to eat, I am hungry."
"As you wish."
( [OOC] Cut for length, but more underneath! )

Sep. 21st, 2008 02:56 am[The visuals are dark, with the sound of an fabric shuffling. It's as if it followed the beat of a pair of walking footsteps.]
[Clatter. Suddenly, the communicator is dropped onto the ground carelessly. The screen fills with a snowy static before adjusting. It must have fallen out of a pocket, given the sounds and darkness before. Panned aimlessly upward, it looks like the area is just and outside of the Horton apartment building's entrance. Slowly, the camera pans, and focuses in on one image in particular.]
[In the darkness of the early morning night, Ai has her back turned to the communicator. The color of her robe and her hair, now untied and flowing past her shoulders, can easily be recognized by those who have seen her in person. She is silent, and carrying the unconscious figure of Sai in her arms. His head and feet dangle just beyond her arm's reach, but it doesn't look like she is having much of a struggle with carrying him.]
[In an even pace, she walks forward into the shadows of the night, leaving behind a now mysteriously vacant apartment. The one that she and Sai once called their home...]
[[ooc Ai and Sai are going on a little break to collect ideas and prepare for the phantom thief's newest entry into Discedo. If anyone tries to follow them, like Ai warned, they will be killed by a gunshot or a knife wound. Old habits die hard. Meanwhile, if anyone goes to check out their old apartment, it will now be mysteriously empty of everything that wasn't there before being moved into it. Oh, and this entry won't be responded to but comments are welcome. Dropped communicator is dropped.]]

Sep. 18th, 2008 03:36 pm[The sound of a large piece of fabric-perhaps a blanket or a sheet-flapping into the air transmits, before carefully being tucked around something.]
...
People are the same. Holy, poor, or otherwise there's no real difference...
Nothing more than one's own blind faith. Hiding weakness and showing false strength, fearing one's neighbors.
In the end, we're all human. There's no real difference. Race, mankind, government... North and south, and east and west, black and white and red and blue, everyone's the same.
In the end, humans with limitations.
If we can't fly through the sky, there's no reason to not die. So humans, no matter what we do, are all the same.
...And so I just calmly perform the duty in front of me, and continue to turn my eyes away from this mournful world that knows its limitations. In despair that there are no other possibilities.
[A long pause follows.]
( Private to John Summers; Unhackable )
...
Soon, I will take my leave from this place. I shall not be alone.
But I will give this warning only once, and it would do you all well to mark my words carefully...
If any of you try to follow me, or him... I will kill you. Friends and enemies are barely discernible to me now, and none of you know what I am really capable of...
Do not test me. You will only put your own lives at risk.

031. Truth [Voice Post]
Sep. 11th, 2008 04:12 pmMist? This sort of weather is unusual, since I would have expected it closer to the time we had that endless rainfall in the city. Hm... I wonder how that lake has been able to maintain itself well during this hot summer. Especially since it seems to have its uses for many of the people and monsters here.
Speaking of the monsters, it appears that new species have appeared in this city. Perhaps I should try experimenting with a few of them to see how edible they are. They do suit K- Kai- Sss... Sai's tastes after all. [A pause.] ...Strange. I'll have to go and find a few of them myself, even though Sai worries about me but I deliberately continue in my work so that I can continue to improve on my skills anyway.
...? That was u-un- necessary.
[She clears her throat.] In... In any case, even though I am continuing to collect data, it feels like it is starting to get repetitive. I am able to relax while playing the piano, since it reminds of the time I used to speak with Chopin about who I really am. ...I-
And I may be happy that I am engaged to be married, but I am also very unsure as to how to feel. I feel helpless because the time of his memory loss is approaching, and I do not believe that there is any way to cure it.

Sep. 8th, 2008 09:30 amMore appear where others go. Isn't it strange? The balance is never even... I wonder what they have in store for us here. The scientists.
Not all of them are new arrivals either. Some are the ones returning on the expedition.
I would like to thank you personally for your efforts, even while it comes this late. I have been able to gather a lot of valuable data from you all, and I only hope that you have recovered from any lasting fears or injuries after all of this. I wouldn't want that to discourage you from feeling that this wasn't still rewarding in at least some way.
Hm... How strange it is strange that I am able to keep putting my knowledge of first aid to good use in this place. It was never so useful before, because there was never any need for a long-term recovery. Then again, that was only prevented by snapping bones back into place. He always used to be so careless. In many ways, he still is. Kaitou X...
[A long pause.]
I wonder if my existence has changed somehow. In light of recent events, I feel that I am not the same person that I was anymore.
... I will hope that it will not come with some bittersweeteness. I cannot ignore the possibility of what will remain once everything eventually returns to zero. Just like always.

Aug. 22nd, 2008 03:33 pmIt stopped. The string of murders was brought to an end before it could reach a proper conclusion.
Neuro Nougami. Is that why you couldn't devour it?
Even with that in place, I am almost certain that you had the potential to bring everything to a proper end. There would have been no need for these senseless arguements until a consensus was finally reached.
I am aware of the power that you possess, even if I am not able to fully understand it. I have the data. If not in my hands then at least in my memory. I trust that. Because it has become vitally important in terms of my existence.
That you have become quiet now can only mean that, like the others, this city has removed you. The balance is changing again.
For his sake, I hope that we may be able to meet again someday. Because in order for the existence of Kaitou X to ever be fully understood, your existence may needs to be understood just as thoroughly.
Hm. It's beginning again.
To have a choice in what you are able to remember of your past pains, losses and love. It is something to be grateful for, even if your hearts and minds may disagree.
Not everyone is able to have that kind of freedom. Not everyone is able to have a choice in what they are able to recall of themselves. It would do you all well to awaken to that feeling.

028. Care [Voice Post]
Aug. 15th, 2008 01:05 pm[The sound of a large blanket being tossed into the air can be heard, before being shifted and tucked in several places. The sound of someone sleeping nearby can be heard as the communicator is held close to him... It sounds like Sonic the Hedgehog, for those who know the sound of his voice well enough.]
[There is silence, and then Ai takes a few steps away before finally choosing to speak.]
I have returned. There was something that I needed to take care of.
[Locked from Sai, Walter Sullivan and Team Murder; Unhackable]
I have retrieved Sonic from the Latimir Street. He wasn't far from the apartment building when I found him, but he looked weak and was obviously still in a state of shock.
Right now, he is in the lobby of the Horton Lane apartment building. He is resting on the couch here, and I would ask that no one try to disturb him until he is able to wake up on his own. It would be for the best.
However, he did ask me to relay a message. He wanted his friends to know that he is okay, and I have no reason to believe otherwise. He may look like he is in a bad state, but he's actually trying to remain strong. If anyone should choose to talk to him later, then I would ask that you respect his feelings.
I will remain here and watch over him for as long as I can. But I need to return to my own apartment soon. For anyone who wishes to visit him, I would ask that they try to bring something for him to eat when he wakes up and try to avoid talking about recent events. He will likely be very hungry after he wakes up.
[/]
Dr. Stein. It was my intention to get in touch with you over a present issue, but given the circumstances... I feel that it would be best for you to focus on Latimir. I should be capable enough to handle this on my own.

Aug. 12th, 2008 05:40 pm[The sounds of a gun cartridge being loaded can be heard. The sound of clinking bullets sliding against metal is littered throughout her speech.]
Walter Sullivan gained a following. Was it because of his identity, or was it because of his ability to leave so much carnage and fear in his wake? I wonder... Though the group that sought to release him... their aims all seem so scattered, and following them myself is not a part of my interests.
As long as there is Kaitou X, I don't care about anything else.
[There is a sharp click of metal, as the cartridge is slid into place.]
Yes. This will do well, even if it will not find much use.
If he is free, then it shall not be long before history is repeated. [There is the sound of a latch being released, followed by a few seconds of quiet until the gun is carefully laid down onto a table.]
If there are those among you who would wish to stop him, then I would act quickly. Even if the situation seems hopeless, you have gained enough knowledge to come out of it with fewer regrets.
Make your choice.

026. Missing [Voice Post]
Aug. 6th, 2008 12:54 pmSeven days. Seven days are missing from my memory... Why? It is because I was dead? Though I still find that highly unusual after what Thomas was able to inform me about the afterlife.
It has been difficult for me to relax, knowing this much. The backdated entries have only been able to inform me of so much, including my most... unnatural behavior. I... was not aware that I was able to record anything after my life was taken.What else am I not aware of? If I am ever conscious of myself more clearly in the next life, then I will try to exercise more caution. Not that I would wish to experience such a fate again. Both for my sake, and that of my partner.
Thankfully, it seems that my death was not an act of murdering solely in cold blood. It was premeditated. I am able to understand this much now, as well as the intentions of Walter Sullivan. A mother... Such a simplistic goal. But I wonder what purpose he would have in removing the heart from my body? (If my past words are to be believed.) Although he is currently in captivity, has no one found out where these organs have been stored? I do not know if there would be any gain in finding them, but what would be the purpose of him going to the trouble of obtaining them if not for some future purpose?
It also seems that I have misplaced my boots. A shame. But I believe that I heard them walking around in the building, if the sound of those footsteps outside of the apartment are any indication.
If I ever wish to make any progress, then I will have to search Horton again.

Jul. 31st, 2008 09:02 pmSonic, and... the young man... You both have my gratitude for rescuing me from the hospital, and I shall hope to repay you for your trouble one day.
In the meantime, something is starting to become painfully obvious to me. The latest transmissions are concerning, and it is becoming harder and harder to believe that only 24 hours have slipped by since my death. I would kindly like to ask any of you for an explanation of recent events, including whether the one who killed me has been restrained; Walter Sullivan, I believe... There will be no need to inform me of the situation with Ness at present, however. I believe that Poo was able to do that much work for me very nicely.
If time has been allowed to slip by, then I would also like to know how this is possible. What am I not recognizing about the conditions of my death?
Kaitou X also concerns me... But not for long. I am prepared to enter the Horton Lane Apartments very soon, and so I shall be able to assess his current status soon enough. Still... If there was a change in him, then I wouldn't mind getting a head's up. It never hurts to be prepared for what I am about to face.
...
Dr. Stein, I remember overhearing once that you found the experience of your death and revival "invigorating."
... Clearly, you have never been murdered. My own experience was far from pleasant.

Jul. 31st, 2008 12:30 am[The transmission begins with a moment of silence. Nothing else can be heard but the sound of a Patient clambering in the hallway of St. Andrew's Hospital.]
...
[Suddenly, Ai gives a terrified gasp as she wakes up, as if she was just jolted out of sleep by a terrible nightmare.]
[Her heart races, and her breath pants. It takes a few seconds for her to calm down, but she is finally able to. There is a loud swallow and a sniffle.]
... W-where am I? The... hospital? I see. Then I really did...
[There is a pause, followed by a rustle of fabric.]
It's gone. I must have lost it in the struggle. ...This won't be easy.But I've done it before without his help. I can do it again.
[More clearly.] Can anyone inform me of the current situation? As I was asleep, was anyone able to apprehend the culprit?If not, I will make him pay.
Once I am able to return to where I belong, I will be free to explain what had happened to the best of my ability. Only I am not able to do as much of that now. I have a few worries of my own to contend with here and my memory is not... as clear as it should be.
[A door slams open, and the sound of running footsteps follow. There is a growl in the distance, but it soon turns into a howl of pain after the sounds of an apparent struggle ends. Then the transmission suddenly cuts out from static interference.]
[[ooc Backdated until between 12:00-12:30 AM tomorrow morning in order to obey the 24-hour revival rules. Please make a note of it! I'm posting this now to give myself a fair chance of being able to think with a clearer head than I might be able to later. (And yes, I got overeager too. Be quiet.)]]

[More clearly.] Can anyone inform me of the current situation? As I was asleep, was anyone able to apprehend the culprit?
Once I am able to return to where I belong, I will be free to explain what had happened to the best of my ability. Only I am not able to do as much of that now. I have a few worries of my own to contend with here and my memory is not... as clear as it should be.
[A door slams open, and the sound of running footsteps follow. There is a growl in the distance, but it soon turns into a howl of pain after the sounds of an apparent struggle ends. Then the transmission suddenly cuts out from static interference.]
[[ooc Backdated until between 12:00-12:30 AM tomorrow morning in order to obey the 24-hour revival rules. Please make a note of it! I'm posting this now to give myself a fair chance of being able to think with a clearer head than I might be able to later. (And yes, I got overeager too. Be quiet.)]]

Jul. 27th, 2008 05:38 pm[Since Ai's last radio contact on Friday night, the Horton Lane Apartments have become a victim of a short series of strange paranormal phenomena as of late.]
[It always starts to occur shortly after midnight, signaled by the flickering of lights, whether powered by a lamp, flashlight... even a candle will waver uneasily before finally being extinguished. For some, the air seems to run cold, particularly around the area of the third floor where the body was found.]
[At first, nothing happens. But when you least expect it, there is a scratching noise... like the sound of something being scraped against the wall, like the edge of a quill or even a fingernail for its dull and unusual sound.]
[If one were to look outside their door and into the hallway, they would realize something. The phrase "Where is it?" has been written over and over, in what looks like dried blood. It covers the walls, floor and ceiling.]
[Blink, and its gone. The lights come on, and the chill fades into the warmth.]
[But for how long...?]
[[ooc This post represents both a mini-event affecting those living in the Horton Lane Apartments, compliments of the ghostly spirit of Ai; and a comment log for anyone who is bold enough to want to meet her in this form. Stumble across the scene during the dead of the night, if you dare.]]

[Sometime during the night, heavy static picks up on the communications network. For the ones closer to the Horton Lane Apartments, the static is more interfering-regardless of whether the communicator happens to be on or turned off-, accompanied by an unmistakable presence in the air. For the ones more sensitive to spirits, the presence brings feelings of loss and confusion.
A few minutes pass, and then a disembodied voice can be heard, intermingled with the static.]

Body... heart... blood...
Gone.
Disappeared.
NO
It's more.
[The following line is said very, very fast. Also seeming repetitive, echoed into each other.]

Jul. 24th, 2008 12:30 am[[Warning! The following description contains references to blood and gore. If you do not wish to read, then scroll down to the following note]]
[The air in the third floor of the Horton Lane Apartments is eerily still, and darkened by the lack of a proper generator. The natural lighting casts pale shadows against the walls, intermingled with the moonlight streaming in from outside. The night is not as cloudy as the last, but just as dreary.
But there is a sound... It is as soft as a pin dropping. It is the sound of a small drop falling into a pool. A large pool, streaming into a flow...
For a visitor, the peace would be broken as soon as they were able to catch the sight of gruesome horror that stood before them.
Blood. It was everywhere. It followed a trail of absolute carnage, as part of an arm, a leg and the occasional entrails stripped away from the body were scattered throughout an entire half of the hallway.
The body was unmistakably human, and that of a woman as her torso remained propped against the far corner of the hallway, near the entrance of the stairwell. The robe was pulled open, revealing a black dress with a ruffled trim that had been forcibly ripped near the area of the chest where the heart should be. Now there was only an open wound, a hollow hole filled with red. A reminder.
Whose body was this? The only clue was a head, cascading with beautiful violet hair. It was laying on its side, the bangs stained with blood. Her eyes were dripping with tears that had already run long cold, and they were open and clearly that of a corpse.
Ai. The fifth victim. Her mark in history would be carved on the small of her lower back, hidden by the fabric of her robe and dress that have long since fallen back into place. A dagger remained wedged deeply into her right shoulder, the handle gleaming softly.]
[[ooc Basically, Ai has been stabbed and dismembered brutally. 05121 is carved into her lower back. This information comes compliments of this post. Enjoy your mourning, kids! ♥]]

How interesting it is that he would suddenly be brought here. Nougami Neuro.
But I don't need to inform Kaitou X of his arrival, it seems that he already knows.
If I didn't know better, I would say that our little "audience" was watching.
[[ooc Strikes = hackable]]

Jul. 19th, 2008 01:36 pmAnother murder... The beginning of another investigation process to determine the culprit, and the underlying "puzzle."
It is so strange, to witness such a thing as it lacks the involvement of Yako Katsuragi and her assistant. ...If she were here, then how would all this play out, I wonder.
This transformation has given me some time to think, and I cannot account for whether that is such a good or bad thing.
There is no need for me to dwell on the past, since I feel nothing for my own history.It has already been erased. Instead, it is the present and the future that troubles me.
If the timeline of this world is the same as the one that I was brought from, then time is running out. Less than two months... that is all the time that is left. ...What will happen in this world, and how will I be able to prepare for the consequences of it this time?
[A pause] I must not trouble myself like this. Instead, I need to be working harder to do what I can to stop it from happening again. To erase the possibility of starting over without ever having a choice in the matter.

... [Sigh]
I hope that a cure is developed for this transformation soon. I cannot play the piano with these hands.

018. Transformation [Voice Post]
Jul. 14th, 2008 02:41 pm[Sighs] This city goes from one extreme to the next... It is hardly surprising anymore.
After the changes took place in my own body, I was beginning to think that the scientists were the ones responsible. I was careless... Water is such an essential ingredient in my cooking these days. But I can see now that they are not the ones to blame this time. If they were, then I'd be very interested in what they were hoping to accomplish with this experiment. The effects of animal characteristics on the human body? I wonder where they would be able to obtain the animal DNA to start with in the middle of this wasteland.
I guess there is no point in thinking about that now. The culprit has already made himself known, and I am interested to know how he was able to contaminate the water supply for all of the areas affected. However, I think the greater priority is trying to isolate the ingredient that is causing all these changes and try to develop a cure.
...and if a few of you are curious as to why I am being so calm about this, it is only because I had a feeling that something like this would happen. Just an idea that lacks evidence. I hope that the rest of you are able to put your minds to work for you, because I will not make a fool of myself in the event that I'm wrong. That, and I'm actually quite annoyed, I cannot read or examine the data I have collected this way. Paper is scarce, and I don't wish to puncture it with my claws.
Still... [Retracts the claws of her paws out.] I can see how this could be useful.
[[ooc Ai has been transformed for the event. Now she has black panther eyes that make her look a lot more intimidating than she used to be, and her forearms and hands have been replaced with a pair of large paws.]]

017. Study [Voice Post]
Jul. 5th, 2008 10:47 amHm. The irregularities and instability, changes in the mind's ability to be able to restrain emotions...
Fascinating. It is interesting how one piece of technology can overwhelm the super-ego. Such a thing until this point has been unheard of, and so it is no wonder why so many of you are shocked by these recent events.
If nothing else else, the entries that I have covered so far have helped provide me with some valuable data in my work, and so I'd like to thank you all for being so talkative. It has been most useful.
My own experiences with the chip haven't been so different. I have been happy, carefree, reminiscent, panicked, and most recently... trying to suppress my own aggressive tendencies. This is what you would usually call your "murderous intent," would you not, Kaitou X? I felt the need to do a little hunting for myself... even if I am barely equipped for such a task.
It also seems that privacy has become an issue as well. Perhaps I will take the advice of an acquaintance and try to be less talkative for now.
... Oh, and thank you, Ness. The piano has helped make things very calming for me during this strange time. [She plays a few notes.]
