[Evelyn is English. Exceptionally English, one might hazard to say, but by no means is the narration suggesting that everyone of her nationality takes umbrage with Americans and a waste of good tea, because it would be petty and unkind and who in their right mind doesn't enjoy food, drink, and sanctioned explosives?

Festivities are not, however, the subject of her transmission.
]

As I'm certain you are all abundantly aware, Wonderland plucks residents from a number of different times and places. While the vast majority are from the "modern" oh, I do loathe that word era - which I am choosing to classify as the year 1990 and the decades immediately following it - there are many others from time periods who have had considerably rougher transitions.

[Herself included. Radio and moving pictures were familiar to her at the time, which made it somewhat easier to comprehend the video function on her transmitter, although the "live" aspect was rather revolutionary. Others are not so lucky: hardships with privacy settings, sending and receiving missives, using outrageously complicated kitchen equipment...]

It has come to my attention that these particular individuals, current and future, could do with a technological and etymological guide. I am in the process of writing one for the benefit of those having trouble with foreign terms and contraptions.

There is no shame in personal edification, particularly if you're feeling overwhelmed. I once set a microwave aflame, so...I would encourage anyone who has had difficulties with aspects of "modern" life to contact me and contribute to the guide.

[A beat, with a smile:]

...and a very happy Independence Day to you all.

[With a new project introduced to assist others and occupy her time, Evelyn ends the feed.]




to Steve Rogers, 9:30 AM

Happy birthday, you old codger.

 Uuuu... No more... No more...

[The device clicks on, and at first you might think this is a just audio post, as something appears to be blocking the screen.]

I-I can't take it anymore... I don't want to play any more of these games... I don't want to go through another trial...

[Whatever's going on, a young girl is crying, stuttering...]

P-Please, Monokuma, if you can hear me... what do you want? What can I do to make it all stop?

[As she keeps sobbing, some of you might finally start to realize what exactly is 'blocking' the screen.

Brightly colored panties. She's sitting on the device without realizing it.

if you'd prefer Action, you can find her in the medical clinic, still a wreck

[James has been busy today, but he's been in very good spirits lately. There's an extra skip in his step and a bright smile as he goes down every single hall in the mansion and tosses a red invitation beneath every door that looks like it might have someone living behind it. It reads:

James Potter & Lily Evans
Request the honour and pleasure
of your company at their marriage on
Saturday the twentieth of June
Two thousand fifteen
at three o'clock in the afternoon
in the Gardens of Wonderland.
Reception to follow in Ballroom


He's admittedly gone a bit overboard with distributing them. In addition to slipping them under doors, he's charmed several of them to stick to the walls and doors, and there are even some strewn about communal areas like the kitchen and the tea rooms. The idea is for no one to be able to go anywhere in the mansion at all without learning the good news - that not only are James and Lily getting married, but they have a date.

At some point in the middle of distributing them, James decides to take a break and sits right down on the stairs. He sends out a message to the network, holding up one of their invitations.
]

So! You might've found one of these already, but if not I'm sure you will soon - Lily and I are getting married! In two weeks!

[He sounds like he can hardly believe it himself. He's so excited, and so happy. Happier than he's been in a few weeks even.]

I just wanted to be absolutely clear - everyone's invited. We could all use a bit of a celebration, don't you think so? And we know there's always the chance an event could come and derail things - if that's the case, the 27th will be the...err. "Rain" date, let's say. [It's not really, but everyone knows what he means.]

Anyhow, I've got to give out the rest of these. [He waves the invitations in his hand.] We hope to see you all there!

[Then he stands up and shuts the camera off, getting back to work. He can be contacted by video, or he can be found distributing more invitations all over the place.]

[Oh, he looks so enthused to do this when the feed opens, but his expression gently takes on a more welcoming and charismatic visage.]

I am Loki, no longer one-of-a-kind here in Wonderland. Many of you know me as the villain, monster, God of Lies, but you should all know by now that I possess a deal of magical ability. I specialise in illusions and deception, however I am not shy to offensive and defensive magics.

[He gives that a moment to sink in and decides to continue. Now was as good a time as any with Captain Criticism briefly out of the picture to cast his judgement on Loki's actions.]

I am also aware that there are some of you here with, at the very least, an inkling of magical ability. It got out some time ago that I was secretly training young Kaplan in the development of his abilities, and while I do not have the desire to extend such extensive treatment to others, I will however offer basic training to aid those of you with the gift in its development. Be it setting you down the right path to learning your abilities or providing a training target for you to cast more powerful spells without the fear of injuring others, I may as well assist you. This is not out of sheer kindness, for those of you fearing ulterior motives. I may as well admit that it is out of self preservation. The more able magic users we have here to defend ourselves against threats, the more likely we are to succeed should... certain creatures resurface.

We have many such residents offering combative training, but few offering magical aid and I thought it was high time we correct this err.

[He managed to give an entire speech without a single lie. Half truths were not, in fact, lies.]

[Souji spent the first day of the event scouring the inn and the surrounding area to see to what extent Wonderland had tried to recreate it. Right down to the seals over some of the doors, the inn itself is almost perfect. Almost.

There's no better word than "moping" for what he spent the rest of yesterday doing, but now it's the second day and he feels up to addressing the network. And after a day of watching James and Sirius completely flounder at things like wearing a yukata robe properly and using chopsticks and sleeping on a futon, he thinks he probably needs to. Everyone is being subjected to his memory and he can at least offer some...cultural assistance to those who might want it.]


This is my event. [Gotta start somewhere.] This is the Amagi Inn and the town down the hill is Inaba. It's too bad you can't get to it--it's nice there.

[For Souji, this is rambling, so he gets back on track.]

I know most people in Wonderland right now aren't Japanese. If you need someone to explain how to do things here, I don't mind answering questions.

...Though it doesn't really matter, I guess. [It's not like there's any penalty for stabbing your food with your chopsticks, even if it's kind of impolite.]

[Tohru appears on the camera in a simple blue yukata, with her hair tied back in princess braids and a wide smile on her face.]

This is really incredible! I never would have guessed we would be going to an inn this time! And it's a really good day for it too.

[There is a framed photo cradled in her arms, and she holds it out for everyone to see.]

You see...today is the anniversary of my Mom's death. Normally I would visit her grave with my friends, and we would have lunch together...since that isn't really possible, we usually have a picnic but...for once, I'm really happy this isn't possible. I think Mom would be really happy to spend the day this way! This is something really luxurious in my world, a trip we could have never afforded, so...I think it's really special that it's happening today! It's even more meaningful.

[She really is grateful, from the bottom of her heart. This is an occasion that would normally be much more somber, but she looks like she's never been so happy about an event before.]

Ah, this might be strange, since we can't really control when events happen but...but I just wanted to say to whoever this event belongs to, um...thank you! Thank you so much!

[And Tohru bows very politely and formally at the end of the message. She can also be found around the inn, and even in the hot springs - though, anyone who finds her there will see that Mom (or rather her picture) is also present, wrapped tight in plastic so she doesn't get wet. Otherwise she will be around and enjoying herself very much. It makes her miss the Sohmas, and the trip to their family's hot springs, but it isn't similar enough and she didn't feel strange the way she did with her own event. Still, it's hard not to feel like a pampered princess with an event like this one!]

Okay. [ Here's Sam, looking as level-headed and composed as you can when your brother is both a homicidal demonic monster, but also a booty-calling creep. ] Couple things. First, in case this wasn't really clear, don't engage Dean. Don't talk to him or agree to meet alone with him or even look at him if you see him in the hallways. He's not just a demon, he's a demon who's killed a bunch of people with a weapon that gets more powerful with blood.

Second, thanks to the people who're trying to keep the general public safe; I know there're a lot of you that're pretty strong around here, and I'm not sure what the whole powers comparison chart would say about you and Dean right now, but just be careful.

Third, and most importantly; I've got some Demons 101 info for anybody who wants it. And that should be everyone, right now, just FYI. Lines of salt keep demons out and rock salt in a shotgun will mostly just piss them off, but it'll also sting. Holy water burns like hell I've seen it in super soakers if a flask isn't interesting enough. Iron burns, too, if you've got something like a fire poker.

Most of the stuff you can get out of the closets. I've got tons of vials of holy water, anti-possession charms, and hex bags, which'll keep you hidden from demons. If you want any of that, let me know. Everyone should have something on their person to keep them safe after everything that's happened.

Last thing. Devils' Traps keep demons stuck down, if you can lure them inside. I'm not saying to do that, but I've put a bunch of them around the mansion and you should draw a few in your doorways to be safe. They look like this and have to be in one piece to work. I can help draw some if you're not big into... you know, occult art.

... That's about it, for now. [ He shifts, frowning, now. ] I can answer questions if you've got them. And my dad, John Winchester, can, too. ... Or, he can dish out embarrassing stories about Dean if that'd make you feel better.

[ a little while ago dean brutally murdered one demon king of hell, crowley, and hurt john blake in the process. before that, he murdered both his best friend and brother, and attacked a whole bunch of people once near and dear to him. today, thankfully, finds him doing something entirely different as dean addresses the network with a lazy smile on his face.

he’s looking way too pleased with himself, beer in hand and leaning against a familiar looking car... ]


This place is kinda morbid, right? Murders and fights and scheming going on left and right— leaves your head spinning even on a good day. So I figure I should try to shake things up a little, and offer something… uh, nicer to the public.

The female public, anyway. Here I’ve attached a collection of potential good times, so if you see your name and wanna have fun — which means get laid, for the less savvy people — then lem’me know. No strings attached, no flowers and chocolates bullshit. I’m easy like that.

[ he is a gift from god. and he promises no one will get murdered. unless they try something stupid. ]


attachment: dean's handy-dandy do list )

[ he never did say he hadn’t put down a few notes along with the names. ]

Now if you’re worried ‘cause your pretty little name ain’t on the list, fret not. If you’re easy enough on the eyes and old enough to know what fun is, get in contact.

[ s m i l e! and dean cuts the feed. ]

[ The feed turns on to a young woman sitting properly in what appears to be the library. For a new face, she is calm and collected, though her tone of voice demands a certain sense of authority. She expects to be answered and she hopes that if any of her comrades are present, they will know they're not alone. ]

This is not the first broadcast of this manner that everyone has received and it's not likely to be the last, but I'm hoping to shed light on some of my unanswered questions. I see that this place is called Wonderland, although there seems to be some discrepancies on who exactly is in control of the realm...

[ She casts a glance to one of the banners that proudly portrays a green and yellow flower sigil. ]

Am I correct in assuming there are some underlying tensions regarding land and property? If so, who is this Duchess I've heard of and how is she contacted? The "Wonderland" metaphor isn't lost on me, but the intent behind it other than being whisked away to a strange new place is puzzling.

[ It's clear that she's done some of her research, or as much as she can in a short amount of time. ]

Though my initial arrival was not overtly hostile, an abduction is still an abduction and I will treat it as such.

[ There's a thinly veiled threat in her words, eyes hardening just a bit. She means business, but she softens just slightly as she finishes. ]

Any assistance will be appreciated.
