[Text - 2 days after Epilogue] Welcome!

[captive_aided]

Hello, everyone!

This is Nick - don't listen to Tiernan, it's just Nick.

Anyway, this is just a quick rundown of what you guys can expect out of this network.

1. Voicechat.
2. Messaging.
3. Video/Streaming.

---

This is open to everyone who didn't go back to their world and ditch the device and/or the memories, by the way - those from the first game and those from the most recent one.

Feel free to contact me if any of this doesn't make any sense.

Voicechat

This is essentially like talking on the phone. All you have to do is select the name of the person you want to talk to, and then tap on the icon that's shaped like a blue phone.

If they notice the call coming through, and they can/want to talk to you, all they have to do is select the option to answer. If they don't answer, you can just move on to the next option for the time being, or wait until later to try again.

Of course, they will be able to see that someone called, and could just as well try calling you back!

Currently, the only way to do a massive voicechat with everyone is to select every single name from the drop down menu, one at a time. Sorry, guys!

Messaging

This is roughly the same as texting!

You select the name of the person you want to talk to, and then type whatever you want to say in the long, rectangular box at the bottom of the screen. There's no way of telling when/if they see the message, without the other person responding to it, but it'll be possible to see when they're available; a green dot will be just under the icon of their face.

Right now, the only way to do a mass conversation with the whole group is to do like the above: select every single name from the drop down.

Video/Streaming

This is a lot like Voicechat, but you'll be tapping on an icon that's shaped like a video camera. But, this comes with two options of its own:

First, you can select the name of the person you wish to have seeing your wonderful face and hearing your awesome voice. If you open up the chat box with them, it'll just be them seeing this.

Alternately, however, there's an icon of a video camera on the main menu you see before selecting anyone's name. If you open this, you'll be streaming for the entire chat. So everyone will get to see you! I'm looking into installing a feature that'll let you guys do this kind of thing with both the messaging and the voicechat features, but it's taking me some time since I only started developing this thing two days ago.

[ ... Two days ago...

Anyway, like he said, this is open to everyone from the first and second round, so you're all free to come say hello to each other! ]

Thank you for your hard work, Nick.

As for me... hello, everyone. My name is Mira, and I'm from the second game. Aside from my Keyblade powers (the most important of which allow me to remember anything I learn) [ is that a thinly veiled threat-- ] I have empathy powers... but I won't use them on anyone who doesn't want me to. But if you would like someone to keep you calm in stressful situations, I am more than happy to do so.

I'm currently staying with Era and Tiernan and everyone from the Foundation... so if you would like something freshly baked, please come visit us. I take requests!

I'm also a very good listener, if you'd ever like to talk about anything at all. I know we have all been through some very difficult things, and sometimes, just having someone to listen can do wonders.

[coagmentatio]

Hello, everyone.

You can call me Aiden. The world I come from is called Daeseon, and I don't mind telling people stories about it.

I was apparently part of the second game, but can't remember any of it. Before that, I was part of the Wolf Pack - that's what the first group is, anyway. We all survived a game that lasted roughly two months, and most of us were already coworkers before that.

Anyway, I have a few abilities, but would rather not go into those right now.

But, if you'd like anyone to do any proofreading, I'm good for that. I've been a writer for a few years now, and part of my job involves that, so I stay in practice.

[soulager]

I wonder if it's a multiverse constant that Aidens are writers...

It's very nice to meet you. What things do you write?

[coagmentatio]

It's nice to meet you, too, Mira.

My go-to is poetry, but I've been giving novels a try. All fiction, and mostly horror, these days.

[sun_dere]

Stop getting murdergamed!

⛈

[coagmentatio]

Sorry, son.

It isn't as though I volunteer for that detail.

Also, where are you?

Name: Bani

[enter_the_darkness]

I'm Vanitas from the group that's referred to as the Wolf Pack, thanks to Sora.
Some people call me Bani, and I think I'd prefer that now, all things considered.
I was responsible for a lot of the bad shit that happened during Lucina's first game.
Just in case that helps you separate me from the other Vanitas a little better.

[ ... lol ]

Anyway, feel free to ask questions, I guess.
No promises on me answering anything.

[ WHAT A GREAT... INTRO..... ]

[skyofreality]

You're welcome. So... does this mean your full name is Banitas now or are you leaving off the last part?

You, Roxas and Ven all okay? Sorry I got Lucina-napped.

[enter_the_darkness]

First person to call me Banitas gets hot sauce dumped on their head.
But yeah we're fine. Pretty sure Ven'll tackle you on sight, just FYI.


Lucinapped flows better

[sun_dere]

ughhh text

hi new people welcome to the madness

I'm Kosuke or Ko or Apollo. actual Apollo so um that's probably relevant to Nico even if its different worlds

I'm from the first game wolf pack awooo ig are we still doing that? Second game didnt get me but it ate both of my dads and my boss and my bosses elf and a couple of my friends so it still pretty much sucked ass

I am a healer so if there isnt a better one around people can probably come see me I reserve the right to not heal people that got hurt in stupid enough ways bc pain is a teacher unless you are this one idiot I know who beats up pieces of himself for sweets

[enter_the_darkness]

[ Wow, way to call Bani out. ]

Hey, I don't do that anymore

[ as of... this past month? ]

[sun_dere]

[Calling Bani out is one of his great joys in life.]

ok you only just stopped doing it

theres a six month detox period before I stop judging you over it

[umbraportation]

oh gods okay
i was not expecting this at all
im not mentally prepared for this

[ Sure, just text that out, Nico. ]

first of all please tell me you mean like adopted dads and that zeus isnt lurking somewhere

[coagmentatio]

Nope. He means me and Masayoshi.

[ Yeeeep ]

[sun_dere]

^^^^^ what he said

I havent met zeus as Kosuke and I don't really want to

Uncle Hades said hes a prick

okay thats not what he said but its what he meant I could tell and nothing Ive remembered so far proves him wrong

wait
shit
this is probably making no fucking sense to you at all
tldr I'm mostly human the gods all died in my world bc people stopped believing in them and we all started reincarnating as humans and some shit went down in this life so i don't like 100% remember being Apollo yet i'm maybe at 70% or so

[skyofreality]

Hiya all.

I'm Sora and I was part of both games - member of the Wolf Pack and now the Cat Clowder. Yes, that's what I've decided to call it this time around. In the first game, I actually lost about four years worth of memories and the fact that I wasn't the real Sora but a clone. A group called the Consortium was responsible for that and a bunch of other terrible stuff that happened in the past.

Anyways! You can usually catch me hanging out at the Foundation with Nick and all them, though I sometimes just sort of end up world-hopping without always meaning to.

My powers are A LOT but I could originally summon a Keyblade so if anyone wants continued lessons, you can call me up. I also know a bunch of elemental and healing magic, along with actual hands-on healing.

Since I was around for both games, feel free to ask me stuff on either one if you want to catch up on what you missed out on. Or if you just want to see my growing collection of pets - that can be arranged too. I have 3 cats, a tiny deer, a mean goat, and an octopus.
Which... I'm now realizing that all but two cats all came from Nick. Plus all of my Dream Eaters and I think I have the ability to create Unversed now...

Geez, Nick. You're responsible for most of this chaos. :D

[makejapangreat]

Fantastic work as always, Nick. Your technical know-how and work ethnic are both truly admirable.

My name is Masayoshi Shido. There are some of you who already know who I am. So I will lay the facts out:

Yes, I am that same man. Over a year ago, my heart was changed by the Phantom Thieves. Before my execution, I was whisked away to a different world where I learned, to some extent, the damage I caused and the value of things which I could not see before.

I am sorry to those who may have been hurt by some version of me. It is a weak apology, I know. But if you have any requests of me, I will try to fulfill them as is reasonable.

To those who have no idea what I'm talking about: Hello. I am a man originating from Japan and am also occasionally a lion. I'm also from the Wolf Pack and one of those from the second round who doesn't remember it.

I can do some healing as well, though I'm still practicing. I've gotten quite good at sushi, though, if anyone is interested.

Private..............

[light_the_way]

[ It's after a considerable amount of time... ]

We need to talk.

In person?

[makejapangreat]

[Hopefully this isn't a "meet me behind Denny's" sort of situation.]

Of course. Where at?

... nvm this is a legit response from Goro

[arraignments]

[makejapangreat]

[That's fair.]

[private]

[forged_hatred]

So, I know we don't really know each other anymore, but I couldn't help noticing you being a little
you.

It's not your job to apologize for what some version of you did to some people, anyway.
You're not an idiot, so don't go talking like one.

[soulager]

[ Hmmm.

Well, she'll work off the assumption that he might not remember their meeting. ]

Trying to make amends is admirable, but... Be sure to take care of yourself too, okay? You won't be able to help anyone if you're in no condition to even help yourself.

But, hello, Masayoshi. I'm Mira. You make sushi? It's been some time since I've had very good sushi. I'd love to try some of yours.

Listed Name: Goro Akechi (Crow)

[arraignments]

My name's Goro Akechi.
I'm 20 years old. I've been away from my "timeline" for well over 2 years now, and have been living in Canada for the duration of that time (as far as my memories are concerned).
Yes, I hate Masayoshi Shido, and "different versions" make no difference to me - just to get that out of the way.

Apparently I was here for a year and can't remember any of it.
(To be honest, I'm far from a stranger to memory loss...)
In any case, I was told you all experienced what most of the people where I'm from refer to as a murder game.
I'm sorry that happened; I went through something like that not even that long ago, in terms of how I remember it.

The game I went through was set up like a TV game show, and we were all the contestants. I was killed during one of the games, as was many of the others.
Long story short, we managed to get through everything with everyone who died back in a functioning body. So, I guess you could consider the ending at least mostly happy, all things considered.

[soulager]

Hello, Goro, my name is Mira. You've been living in Canada? I've always wanted to visit.

I'm sorry you went through that... a TV game show that thrives off suffering sounds absolutely horrible. I am glad it ended well, at the very least.
