Guys, that didn't go so well. Pretty sure the kitchen's no longer usable - either of them. Thanks for that, Emil.

So how about we get ourselves a house, huh? Dunno how, but I think we'll need one. Apartment's getting pretty crowded, anyway.

What do you guys say? It's not really my style, but- we kinda need the room.

For those of you who pressed the button - good going. Let's see how the kind deities reward you later on.

Well. That was fun, wouldn't you say, Ino?

Looks like Leon's still missing, though. Kind of a shame. I would have liked to see him cursed yesterday. It's kinda weird not having him around, either. I didn't know food could last this long.

Flynn, if you still want to talk, you know where to find me.

[two barks in the background]

You miss him too, don't you, Repede?

[A growl as Yuri laughs and shuts the device off]

Flynn, Leon! Time to get your butts up.

We're gonna have a little competition today. Spice up the training routine a little.

[Pause as he looks outside.]

...Okay. Maybe not. Looks like it's one of those days again.

Wonder if Estelle's around. Duke, Karol- hah, even Tweedle A and Tweedle B.

[ooc | Backdated to early morning!]

I wouldn't call this 'turning down the dial.'

[Yuri's turned into a girl yet again! And he's definitely about to spill out in that top. He doesn't look too concerned or embarrassed, though. Just a little puzzled.]

In fact, I'd say it was the complete opposite. Funny, deities. I think we could all learn a valuable lesson here.

Drink the damn tea next time, Yuri Lowell.

Just what the hell is going on with all these deaths, huh? If no one's gonna do anything about them- tch.

It's just sick.

Seems like the deities are having the time of their lives, anyhow.

Hope you liked your gift, Ino. Nothing special, but if I did it right, it should heal you a little during battle. Forgot to tell you that part.

Say, Leon, I need a word with you.

( [Private // Hackable] )

Well, that was interesting. It was a pleasure, Ino, but I think I like being back in my body.

But, hey, deities? Don't think I don't notice what you're trying to do here. It's not appreciated, either. And how could I forget what wonderful overseers you guys are. Estelle, Leon. Watch yourselves, all right?

[Private // Hackable]

Guess you didn't have much of a choice, did you, Judy? Ah, well, take your time. Not like I'd want anyone to get stuck in this place. But hey, try not to take as long as last time.

Wonder if Flynn got that town up and running yet. That bastard.

So who wants to join Brave Vesperia? It's a little guild dedicated to see justice around us. And maybe make a little cash on the side through some various jobs.

Captain Karol, the founder of this guild, isn't here yet. Too bad, because I'm sure you'd all love to see how he owns the field when in a big battle with monsters. Alone.

Just give me a heads up if you want to join or have a job for us. We do anything from organizing warehouses to finding stuff to delivery. We're pretty much a jack-of-all-trades.

So what d'you say? Should I throw in a complimentary t-shirt?

[The angle's a little awkward, but the screen clearly shows Yuri kneeling down next to his faithful dog Repede, looking a little battered but grinning as always. He gives Repede an adoring pat on the head, not yet realizing where he is.]

We did it, Repede. We saved the world.

[He laughs as Repede barks happily before whining. Yuri then gives a quick look around - he's in Xanadu - and for a moment he looks confused.]

What is- no way.

[A SIGH as he fetches the device and peers into it.]

It's already recording, huh. Isn't that convenient. Hey guys.

[ooc | Back from his canon update! Is now end-game and chilling with his badass dog Repede~]

[The video starts, and at first you see a rather ample... very cleavage-y chest. The camera then moves upward to focus on a rather amused face.]

I knew it had to happen sometime. You sure know how to catch a guy off guard, deities. I appreciate the compliment, but it's a little weird to be caught staring at myself all day. Next time, turn the dial down a little, would ya?

[He moves and there's a little bounce~ He's perfectly aware that his top is so not meant for curvy women, but he likes the breeze, okay?]

Time to take this out for a test drive.

A curse today of all days? That's just screaming bad luck. Oh well- gotta make the best of it.

[Action]
[Yuri put away his device after a quick update that proved he was cursed - not in the City sense, either. It'd been so long since he and Estelle spent time along together, and there just had to be a curse. Wonderful, though of course he was rather amused with it.

Following his lessons closely (because somehow Ino found out everything, and it was important that he humor her), he purchased a pink rose for Estelle. But Yuri was a practical man and had yet to compliment her. He did, however, choose a fairly fancy restaurant, and they'd been enjoying a nice dinner outside.]

A big thanks to the deities for keeping half of us awake with these damn nightmares. I'm sure you guys are getting a pretty good show from your little thrones, huh? Must be nice.

Damn. It's every time I blink-

Estelle, everyone- you guys all right?

Looks like recruiting for Brave Vesperia'll have to wait until this mess is over.


[ooc | Strikes = thoughts! Having nightmares about his friends being hurt/kidnapped/that sort of thing. Because Yuri has, like, zero insecurities about himself. Anyway, backdated to last night?]

Well, this is familiar.

Wonder if we'll get to see everyone again. Estelle! Let's keep an eye out. It's... definitely been a while since we've seen them. Heh, hell, I almost miss those goons.

I'm always up for a good fight, too, if any of you newbies think you can handle it.

Well, that was pretty fun, actually. I think I put on quite the act for an amateur.

Anyway- today's the day we've all been waiting for. If you've been invited, get your butt over to the beach right now! We're not gonna stop the party for a bunch of slow pokes!

Bring your swimming suits and a towel, otherwise you're out of luck. We can introduce each other when we get there, all right?

All right.

[ooc | Backdated a couple of hours earlier! Idk if you guys wanna do a log... just ping me if you do.]

Gah hah hah! Hello, worthless worms. Your Dark Lord has graciously taken your dear princesses. Resistance is futile! Any human that chooses to rebel shall be crushed! Perhaps this lesson shall teach you all a bit of humility.

It is only a matter of time until he shall get as he desires.

You cannot hope to defeat the likes of us!

[ooc | Lmao, acting like he does here.]

[Someone purchased a pair of cat ears and is staring at them very, very intently, face red.]

Damn... what's going on? This is different than usual. Just what the hell kind of curse is this?

It's not the same unless someone-

[He shoves them back in a plastic bag and facepalms. What is his life.]

[ooc | YURI HAS A CAT EAR FETISH.]

Huh- this beach thing is really harder than I thought. Sorry about that, Ino. I'll make it up to you, all right? Just say the word.

Estelle - maybe you should handle this. I'm no good at this stuff.

And Leon? I got just the thing for you. You can thank me later.

There've been some crazy curses lately. Is there even a pattern? Or a theme? Can't tell at this point.

Time for a little training - if I see you around and you got a sword, don't get too offended if I take the opportunity to practice with you. Impromptu.

It's kinda nice to see everyone so energetic. Too bad I didn't really know what was going on. Some kinda game?

Deities, you know just how to keep us on our toes, don't you?

Hey, everyone going to the beach trip- how about we set a date for sometime soon? Estelle, I got you a... present, I guess you could say. I got your swimsuit, too, Leon. Don't worry, I definitely didn't forget. Thanks for agreeing to come, by the way.

Ugh, I think my stomach still hurts from that- man, and here I thought it couldn't get worse. Lucky me.

Looks like the rain's finally letting up a little. What a coincidence that it would pour like that just when we were planning to go to the beach, huh?

Estelle, you're still up for it, I hope.

After this fight is over. Can't believe something like that would happen here, but I guess I shouldn't be too surprised.

Tch, and the deities are probably laughing up on their thrones. Those bastards.

[A very terrible filter from Estelle]

Okay, I'm not the best at these things. Definitely not my style.

Anyway, I need to get us some swimsuits for whenever we go to the beach. Any suggestions from those way more interested in this stuff?

Think of it as a present for someone who's never been to the beach.

Heh, funny.

Look what I got.

[Focuses the camera on a plush doll that looks suspiciously like Repede]

Not exactly what I was aiming for, but close enough.

Looks like a party out here. I hear this happens pretty often, huh? Interesting.

Any of you newbies up for a spar? I'll try not to be too hard on anyone.
