[ video ] ☠ 006

[viewers may notice that he is in a very symmetrical and organized looking room. in fact, recently cleaned. he's staring at the screen for a few seconds, as if checking something, before finally speaking.]

Hm. Last month there had been no new arrivals, but it looks like people are coming into Somarium again. I wonder why the sudden change.

Regardless, for those who have entered so far, welcome to Somarium. You can find some information on the Dreamberry but it will no doubt be confusing. Thus if you have any questions, I'm sure many people will be willing to answer including myself.

[and now he changes the setting.]

[FILTERED TO: SHIBUSEN CREW]

[funny. his last broadcast on the network was in Liz's room, too. and like last time, he had cleaned and reorganized everything even though he knows—]

Maka, Soul, Professor Stein. Liz has returned home.

I think it's interesting that it finally changed something on us. As far as I've gone back, it hasn't done this before.

[soulsymmetrical]

I've only been here a month or so longer than you, but it's the same for me. It seemed like an odd occurrence.

[buildingreality]

I've asked around as well, just to make sure. It just so happened to have come at the same time as the dreamwalking; do you think it might have anything to do with that? Both occurrences are out of the ordinary in their own way, after all.

[soulsymmetrical]

It's a possibility I've considered, though I still don't know what that could mean.

[Estelle was playing with this new device out of curiosity, trying to figure out how it works when she spotted this post. Was this a sort of introduction to this place? So this world is called Somarium? At least this is what this device had told her. Though somehow, without her knowing, she replies to it, and thus is projecting a video of herself back, one of her speaking to herself.]

I do wonder how I could figure out more.

Hmm…

If only I could speak to the person in this device, then perhaps I could figure out more about this Somarium.

[soulsymmetrical]

You are speaking to the person.

[hi.]

[firstaid]

[Oh, it is talking back!]

Oh hello! My name is Estellise, and I just arrived here in Somarium. Are you the one that I may speak to with any questions regarding my sudden arrival here?

[soulsymmetrical]

Welcome, Miss Estellise. I am Death the Kid, and yes I can answer your questions—at least to the best of my abilities. There are those who have been around longer than I have, but I will do what I can.

[Do you see this thing on your screen, Kid? It's smiling at you. Looking quite friendly.]

[soulsymmetrical]

[...what. what is that. what is that.]

[spacerainbows.livejournal.com]

[Noses the screen.] Nyan?

[soulsymmetrical]

[he's...still kind of staring. and noting everything that is completely wrong with this creature.]

Is this supposed to be a cat? But it's body... ...A Pop-tart? But that's...how is that even possible?

[if Black☆Star was still here, he'd assume it was some kind of prank. though Soul isn't out of the running yet, either.]

[scytheyouout]

[this is legit concern here, Kid.]

Hey. You holding up ok man?

video; private

[soulsymmetrical]

Of course. It's probably better that Liz is back home instead of stuck here.

[resonancy.livejournal.com]

... Black☆Star, Tsubaki, and now Liz.

[she looks concerned]

Are you all right, Kid?

[soulsymmetrical]

Yes. It's not like we were never aware that this would happen. It might be better for her, too.

[resonancy.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I know.

[Maka looks up briefly, if only to make sure Soul hadn't been nearby within earshot]

But I know what it feels like, too.

[soulsymmetrical]

[also glancing from his screen. he could at least see from his angle whether Soul was nearby.]

I suppose I have it a little easier since all of you are still here, though I also had a bit of a "warm up" when you also your own disappearing act not too long ago.

[livethecreed]

I had noted the lack of arrivals; but I have not been here long and had assumed it was normal for people to not appear so regularly. Is this the first time such a thing has happened?

[video]

[soulsymmetrical]

I've only been here for several months, but as far as I know, it had never happened before. No one seemed to know what was going on either.

[video]

[livethecreed]

This does not seem to be a good thing from what I've experienced. The breaking of such a pattern in my world always lead to destruction. [It was after all him breaking the Tenets of the Brotherhood and the pattern of behavior the Tenets lead to that caused so much pain and misfortune.]

[video]

[soulsymmetrical]

Let's hope that it doesn't mean that. However, we should take note in case it happens again. Whether or not people arriving now is a good sign or whether it will return to its normal pattern is yet to be seen.

[video]

[contrapose]

Do people usually come every month, then?

[video]

[soulsymmetrical]

That was the usual pattern, but no one came into Somarium last month.

[video]

[contrapose]

Huh, that's interesting. Maybe more people will come this month to make up for it?
