012. Calm [Voice Post]

[invisible_ai]

My apologies to anyone who happened to notice that I haven't been very talkative for awhile. If you didn't, then all the better. I've been busy.

I've heard that Prydain has gone on some sort of expedition. I wonder if he found out anything interesting, since he seemed to be fairly knowledgeable about a few of the creatures that exist within this city the last time that I spoke with him over this device. I am still meaning to hunt down one of those monsters that he told me about in order to see what I can prepare... Sai, would you be able to lend me a hand with that sometime? It just might be to your benefit.

Ah, I almost forgot to mention the cookout as well. It was Sai's idea that I come to such a gathering, since I am not all that taken with events like that. Still... It was... interesting, to say the least. There were quite a few new as well as old faces around, and that was enough for me to make a note of it. I am not much of a conversationalist, nor to I intend to start being one anytime soon.



It seems like the inhabitants of this city are getting restless in their attempts to establish order.

After the murder of that boy, Haseo, there has been a noticeable unrest in terms of monitoring how the chips are removed from those that the local authorities feel are the most malicious and will bring harm to Discedo and its people. Sai, I would suggest that you use this to your advantage. No one has noticed that your chip has been removed, and so I hope that you will use this opportunity to conserve your powers until it is necessary to do otherwise.

Such a foolish idea. Humans are not meant to be bound by such limitations.

Hm. There are a number of new voices piping up over the communications as well. So much for the quiet.

[[ooc Sorry about the lack of posts for awhile there, folks. I had a bit of writer's block and some mild drama to deal with iRL. But I'm better now and the assistant to Kaitou X is back in business. ♥]]

Hunting monsters for food? I can help with that.

[Private to Ai]

Humans are showing just how foolish they truly can be. But Ai... What if I run out of time? Then what should I do? Continue with your search for interesting people and I can see what I can do to bring Neuro here somehow.

I am new here! I'm the famous Mask☆DeMasque! A famous theif at that! ...Kind of. I'm really Ron DeLite... but I'm most commonly referred to as Mask☆DeMasque! ...Except I'm not really sure about that...

[invisible-ai.livejournal.com]

It's hard for me to be convinced that you are truly famous when I have never heard of you until now, Mr. Mask☆DeMasque.

[invisible-ai.livejournal.com]

Thank you. Prydain gave me descriptions of a few of the monsters that he recommended for hunting, and so we will go into the city whenever you feel that you are ready.

If nothing else, you can see what eating one raw is like before we return home.

[Private to Sai]

It is only a recommendation, not an order. I lack that right before you and you know it, Sai. I am merely trying to inform you of the risks should we be discovered prematurely. This should not be such a challenge for you. You have lived this long without ever being captured. Even before we ever arrived to this city.

In the meantime, it would be best if you continued to evolve. Prepare for the future, and I will do my part to help you discover what you have been missing.

I am on your side.

[maskxdemasque.livejournal.com]

W-what? Really...? You don't know of the M-Mask☆DeMasque...? Oh...

[invisible-ai.livejournal.com]

Don't look so shocked. This sort of reaction may become natural to you eventually.

... I don't suppose that you have ever heard of Monstrous Robber X, have you?

[maskxdemasque.livejournal.com]

M-Monstrous Robber X? No, I haven't. Sorry.

[invisible-ai.livejournal.com]

Hn. Take that as an example then.

You may call me Ai, by the way.

[maskxdemasque.livejournal.com]

Ai? Alright then. I guess I should be called Ron, then, since that's my real name.

Umm, err, it's nice to meet you!

[invisible-ai.livejournal.com]

Ron... I thought that was the name that you were quietly mumbling earlier... Though what kind of thief reveals his real name so easily?

It is nice to meet you too, Ron. Are you finding your way around the city all right, or would you like some assistance? My partner and I might be able to help you.

[playwitchu]

I look forward to that. I haven't had good meat in a very long time.

[Private to Ai]

I know I know... It's not as easy as it was back home where I could just slip in as a person.

Just go and search for anyone that would be interesting.

And you is all I need on my side.

[invisible-ai.livejournal.com]

I figured that you would.

[Private to Sai]

Understood. I shall do as you ask, Sai.

[maskxdemasque.livejournal.com]

W-well, I'm near the Marshall apartments, but I don't really know where I should go...

[invisible-ai.livejournal.com]

If you are near the apartments, then I would wait in the lobby area for the time being. - That is assuming that you are unable to fight against the monsters who are lurking about the streets.

Otherwise, the high school should not be far from where you are now, and there will be others who can help you.

If you refer to the recent festival, "cook out" does describe it quite well!

I cannot imagine that this place has a reputation for peace and quiet.

[invisible-ai.livejournal.com]

I do. Were you able to attend it as well?

Hn. Perhaps not. But some days are better than others.

[solbonded.livejournal.com]

For a short while. It was...difficult to tell what exactly was going on.

That is often the case indeed!
