[all you can hear at first is the normal humming and crackling from the PCD, then...]

"You! YOU are t3h evil!!"

...

[Miho exhales.]

Reusing old insults, Largo? How very pre--

"Hear me! I ph34r not your faceless minions!!"

[at this point it clicks with Miho what's going on--that this is what the hissing and smoke from her PCD had meant.]

"I am your doom!! Face me and feel my sword!!"

[then, another male voice]

"You are not worthy of effort. Begone."

!!

[the PCD clicks off hurriedly]

I suppose the well-needed break from normalcy in Adstringendum has ended. Though I suppose I am enjoying the climax the most. After all, I have left some games...unattended. Don't worry, Mr. Joker, I'm not quite finished with you. I was just unable to attend your event.

Thank you again, Edward, for taking me to the Haunted House. An interesting experience, that was.

I feel that the mood is changing to something more...light-hearted, I suppose.

Some of you are going to have to work harder, now won't you?

I suppose I shall take the time to enjoy the festivals. They make the place feel far more like home.

Of all the predicaments for everyone to get into during this little game...

What an amusing occurrence~ To those...unaffected like myself, of course.

I might have to sit out of this one, dearies....

But if you ruin my game, I'm afraid I may not forgive any of you.

_{[ooc: Miho will probably let this little conflict with the Joker play out without her, simply because...I don't get what's going on. That's the difficulty of playing a character smarter than you. Not to mention I'm a bit out of it tonight. Depending on how things continue to play out, Miho might not be involved in this one. engh I need a character dumber than me]}

It seems Adstringendum is going to hell in a trauma-filled hand basket.

Lovely, isn't it.

_{[ooc: Miho is unaffected simply because I didn't know HOW to affect her. Mysterious past is mysterious and all.]}

[Locked against the Joker]

Well, my lovelies...

I seem to be fortunate enough to have encountered the ultimate game.

Things are looking up. ♥

Well, this rather peculiar event has met its end. I do admit, my own personal affliction managed to frighten even myself. I assume the headache is a side effect?

...

( [Locked to Edward] )

Oh my. I feel the need to apologize my leave of absence. I must have disappeared temporarily when everything was coming together. I don't mind. Everyone would have survived without me anyway, and it seems they did. You all are very capable people when compared to myself. [she chuckles] I will be around, now, if you require me.

So long~

...hm.

Several creatures that have popped up in my previous explorations seem to be showing up in the supposedly protected areas. A failed attempt to fix our current situation, perhaps?

How very interesting.

[Miho's PCD clicks on, revealing her currently very pale face. The PCD is shaking in her hands, and it seems she's using all of her strength to keep herself up and holding the device]

<sub>...ah...

...not now...so...

...soon...</sub>

[The device slips out of her hands and lands on the ground with a crack. Another thump is heard--this time, it's Miho. She faints a short distance away from the PCD. Nothing more is heard, but the feed is still going.]

<sub>((ooc: I didn't want to do this so shortly after she arrived, but this idea was gnawing at me soon after I posted my first post. I was going to wait at the least until the The Se7en Virtues event, and at the latest the Living the Nightmare event--but alas, no other ideas would come.

So yes, Miho has fainted and hasn't had the chance to shut off her PCD. Funsies. :D Miho has an unnamed illness that causes her to faint on occasions, but your characters don't know this and I think it'd be fun if they blamed the voices. XD That's enough gabbing out of me, have at you.

EDIT: By the way, the "fainting" thing lasted only on the 13th, ignoring the log, so if you see Miho up and about and perfectly fine, don't be confused. Her fainting spells only really last a few hours at the most.))</sub>

[on top of a bent stop light, a new face seems to have arrived, and she's perched on the tilted object, as if she's waiting for something interesting to happen]

What an interesting world. Or rather, a combination of all of the worlds... I wonder what games I could play. ♥
