[Souji's outside in the garden, but the fog makes it difficult to tell where, exactly. It's very quiet, though, with the snow and fog deadening all the noise.

He's wearing a pair of black framed glasses. Unusual for him, since he doesn't normally wear glasses.

He stops peering at his surroundings and holds up the camera at face level to address whoever might be listening.]

Don't you think it should have snowed instead of raining yesterday?

[That would make sense in early January.

He takes a few steps through the snow and he doesn't seem to be having any trouble navigating through the fog.]

This isn't ordinary fog. Be careful.

The fuck is it with the mansion and reinforcin' that fog equals bad shit goin' down? I'll have a fuckin' phobia of fog at the end of this.

Also, what's up with the glasses? Didn't think your eyes were that bad.

[eatsyourscience]

They're made for this fog.

[urnewkingbitch]

Damn, where can I get a pair? Have to see if they've got some that comes in shades.

[ That guy here is celebrating the start of this event by sitting on his couch and doing nothing whatsoever. He was trying to read a book at first, but there is a dog in his lap whose previous fog event experience has left her with the constant need for attention and reassurance during the current event.

Philip is providing as much patiently so far and has even managed to calm Faraday down enough to have a quick look at the network. ]

Has it ever been ordinary fog? Here? [ Don't even answer that. ] So what flavour do you reckon it's this time?

[eatsyourscience]

My glasses let me see through it, so it must be from my world.

[ Let's see then... ]

Looks like you're still moving and haven't been mauled by anything yet. What are we looking out for?

[jivitadana]

... You should be careful too.

[Yes, it's his or the IT's memory. It doesn't make the fog any less dangerous for them either.]

[video | private]

[eatsyourscience]

I will be.

I can't tell if it's like the fog in the real world or the fog in the TV world.

[Minato nodded, already picking up his comm device. He was going to ask, but was already heading out to the Gardens.]

Did you want company?

[Besides, if this was the same kind of fog Souji had talked about and the one Minato had seen before, then it was better to stick together.]

[Chell hasn't been around Souji enough to know that the glasses are new. Nonetheless, her look is a stern one through the screen. Where she's from, thick, unusual clouds are never good news.]

What do you know about this fog?

[He knows it's not ordinary, but there's something in how he's phrasing this information that implies he knows something more, she's sure of it.]

Video

[eatsyourscience]

I think it's from my world.

[He remembers Chell, but never learned her name when they met before.]

Video

[donttestme]

[Her eyes narrow.]

... Is there anything special about the fog from your world?

[ Naoto knows she's going to have to talk to him at some point-- it's not fair to avoid him. He's not the one that...

It was his mirror that killed her. Not Souji. Not him. So after staring at his network message for a while and steeling herself, she responds. ]

It's our memory. Correct?

[eatsyourscience]

My glasses work. It must be.

[tenoritantei]

...Does this mean we've lost something? Some sort of memory?

[eatsyourscience]

ordinary fog doesn't make you sick or hide monsters.

[akapeanut]

Is it makes-you-crazy fog or makes-you-die fog?

[eatsyourscience]

...It could be either.

[bigbrothercoop]

What is the deal with this fog?

[eatsyourscience]

I don't know yet. It's from my world, though. [This time.]

[video]

[freetobe]

I believe it is of a supernatural kind.

[eatsyourscience]

[A nod.] It's from my world.

[Eleanor's already got her helmet on, just in case. One of these days she might remember to stop appearing in front of people wearing the thing. Damn spooky.]

Do you mean that it isn't the sort of fog that appears often in this place or that it isn't the natural sort of fog? Either way it would seem that avoiding it would be the safest option, if possible.

Video

[eatsyourscience]

[Spooky indeed. Souji is a bit startled, but shakes it off.]

Both. But I don't know if it will be that easy to avoid.
