Since my arrival, violence in the city seems to be increasing. I have confirmed with a number of longer-term residents that this is an unusual event; two individuals responsible for the disturbance have apparently been identified but not yet captured. I will continue observing; currently, intervention does not appear necessary. Furthermore, my capacity to intervene is limited under these circumstances.

The circumstances in question are those I noticed on my initial arrival: my abilities have been severely limited. Apparently, this is due to a "chip" implanted in each newcomer to the city.

Unfortunately, I am unaware of the location of the chip within my body. Removing the chip continues to be a priority, as the violence in the city is severely impeding my ability to gather information regarding the overall situation.

The Composer is present, also unable to use his powers; Sho Minamimoto is present, physically unharmed, and appears to have maintained his adversarial relationship with the Composer. One of the Harriers from Shibuya is also present here, and a number of the Players who the Composer returned to the RG after the end of his Game.

I am forced to conclude that the Composer's most recent Game was observed by these "scientists," perhaps due to the unusual energies involved in it. This being the case, it is at this point more important to locate and investigate the scientists than to return to Shibuya.

I've gotta ask, with all the confusion going on... this place has a police force, doesn't it? What have they been doing lately?

Not meanin' to step on any toes, here, but it might calm people down a bit to get the official word.

Good question, that. Didn't sound like it from the way they're talkin'.

Just handin' out a little free advice, miss.

Miss

It is appreciated, I suppose.

No and no, and I haven't heard of anyone else doing it. I'd guess that it's happened, though.

It's probable. Just because the zetta majority's formula is equivalent to x2 + y2 = 1 doesn't mean mine should be.

Then why bother asking in the first place?

Expecting isn't the same as knowing.

Odd situation here.

Not bad. Gonna try and hack these communicators?

I already have been... actually.

I'm still alive, and I wasn't - and still am not - Composer when it happened.

Sounds like fun. I'll be watching.

Can't imagine it'd count for that. Like I said, though, the situation's odd. Maybe unprecedented.

Really! Any luck?

I was drowned and eaten by lake monsters. I doubt even Loch Ness has that sort of appetite.

He happened to see a comment I made about me not being a swimmer.

I exacted partial revenge twenty-four hours later, but I have a second leg I'm saving for when I'm more capable.

When are you planning on being more capable?

Hmm~ Who knows~? This entire trip has been planned on the fly, so why change that now?

[text | private] he's not gonna be happy when he catches you, josh

Not quite your style.

[text | private] HE'LL GET AWAY WITH IT. LIKE A TEENAGER PAST CURFEW.

[identity profile] holyjesusbeams.livejournal.com 2009-06-22 06:46 am (UTC)(link)
None of this is my style, let me remind you.

[text | private] you're at least a couple decades too late for that.

[identity profile] greatcuppajoe.livejournal.com 2009-06-22 06:49 am (UTC)(link)
Just give me a heads-up when you're planning on it.

[text | private]

[identity profile] holyjesusbeams.livejournal.com 2009-06-22 06:50 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, of course.

Hm.

I have other questions, but if there is anything basic that you think I should know about this place, I would appreciate it if you could tell me.

Let's see. I hear this violence isn't exactly normal operations around here; it's been getting much worse in the last few weeks. If you've got any supernatural powers, they won't do you much good; there's a chip that keeps them suppressed. Some people around here have had the chip out, and they're not all friendly, so tread carefully.

The town's infested with monsters, which you've probably noticed; except for the red-eyed ones, they're always around.

[Voice; Japanese]

[identity profile] hikari-prodigy.livejournal.com 2009-06-22 07:39 am (UTC)(link)
Could you explain the violence you're referring to?

[So that's what it is.] Do many of the people here have supernatural powers?

Hm. The red-eyed ones are new?
