Continued violence has made it difficult to expand my observations of the city. I will therefore summarize the information I have successfully gathered and list a few hypotheses.

First, the languages of the departed residents of this place appear, based on street signs and available literature, to be English, Greek and Latin. This reinforces my suspicion that Discedo is an alternate universe; however, there are two moons present, the larger of which shows fewer crater marks than our own and the smaller of which is too far to make out details with the naked eye. How is it that a world physically so different from ours - indicating extremely early divergence - could have developed along such similar lines at a later date? Is it possible that these languages were brought to Discedo by other abductees from alternate worlds more similar to ours?

Alternatively, it is possible that the smaller moon is a human artifact. This still does not explain the different cratering pattern, but does suggest a world with fewer deviances from our timeline.

The scientists' abilities remain unclear; however, I am beginning to suspect that they are more technologically based than equivalent to the abilities of a Composer or an Angel. Apart from unwillingly transporting sentient beings from alternate worlds, they appear to exert no controlling influence; nor have they set any apparent rules. I intend to obtain tools and take a closer look at both the communicator and, if I can obtain one, a removed chip. As examples of the scientists' technology, they should reveal the resources available to those individuals.

Not to distract you guys from everything goin' on, but I hear there's a lab over at the school where a guy might pick up some tools. Anybody know who's runnin' it, and whether they'd mind me stoppin' by to borrow one or two?

If they're not for public use, I'd be just as happy with directions to the industrial district or any hardware shops this place might have.

Getting bored or planning a project, Mr. H?

[audio; japanese]

[greatcuppajoe.livejournal.com]

Bit of one, dash of the other!

Know anybody who might have a removed chip for me to check out?

[audio; japanese]

[holyjesusbeams.livejournal.com]

Elaboration on the latter, then?

[Private]

I've no idea whether or not he kept it, but the only individual I know that has had his chip removed during my time here is one Lelouch vi Britannia. I'd not be surprised if Minamimoto kept his upon its removal, but I'm hardly in a position to inquire.

[audio; japanese]

[greatcuppajoe.livejournal.com]

Oh, I'm bored all right, but I've got a reason for askin'.

[Private]

Lelouch, huh?

Wouldn't say I'm in a position to ask something like that of Minamimoto, either.

[holyjesusbeams.livejournal.com]

Something tells me the two inquiries are linked, in that case.

I believe he's spoke to you at least once, but should I inquire in your stead?

[locked || audio; japanese ]

[greatcuppajoe.livejournal.com]

Mmhm.

Nice of you to offer, but I think I'll manage - unless you've got a reason to think you'd have better luck?

[oneenemyleft.livejournal.com]

I've heard it's a girl named "Lucca"... at the lab.

[greatcuppajoe.livejournal.com]

Lucca, huh.

...Isn't that the one who disappeared? She back?

[oneenemyleft.livejournal.com]

To be honest, I'm not completely sure what's going on in her situation.

[greatcuppajoe.livejournal.com]

Hmmm. Well, I don't like takin' stuff if she's not around, but it's a whole lot easier than the alternative.

I'll see if she shows her face!

[oneenemyleft.livejournal.com]

You'd just... take it?

[greatcuppajoe.livejournal.com]

If I can't find anybody who claims it to ask? Yeah. It's not like I'd do it without tryin' to track down the owner first.

[eyesofgeass.livejournal.com]

[He's curious. Don't mind him.]

Would ya look who's here!

Had a question for you, Catnip.

[eyesofgeass.livejournal.com]

[Wait what...]

Cat... nip?

[greatcuppajoe.livejournal.com]

You wouldn't happen to have that chip of yours lyin' around somewhere, would you?

[text | private]

[eyesofgeass.livejournal.com]

Why so curious? Want your own removed?

[text | private]

[greatcuppajoe.livejournal.com]

Not precisely. I'd like to take a look at what makes 'em do what they do.

[holyjesusbeams.livejournal.com]

It fits!

[eyesofgeass.livejournal.com]

I am not sure if I like the implication.

[beatitlikemj.livejournal.com]

... Mista H?!

[greatcuppajoe.livejournal.com]

Hey there! I was wonderin' when you'd show your face.

[beatitlikemj.livejournal.com]

Man, I di'n know you was here! How you doin'? D'ja know Rhyme was here? How's Shibuya? You ain't seen Phones, has ya? When'd ya get here?

[greatcuppajoe.livejournal.com]

Been here for a week, doin' fine, and yup, I knew you and Rhyme were here. Haven't seen the little lady yet, though - how's she?

Shibuya's doin' great and Phones's still there, far as I know.

[beatitlikemj.livejournal.com]

Man, a week an' I ain't seen ya? Damn. She's fine. Chillin' wit' us ova at Gohl. Went without her for 'bout three months an' I was dyin', man. I'm so glad she came back.

Yeah, he ain't here. He's been here at least once, tho'.
