D361, morning [mass video]

[windbreak]

[The name attached to this post is "Naoto Shirogane", but Naoto's is definitely not the only face to greet the camera as it switches on, let alone the one initially taking up most of the picture - although "greet" implies some sort of presence and purposefulness, both of which seem to be lacking in the taller young man currently looking over at somebody just out of frame.]

- sense, doesn't it? We don't know if anyone's going to believe a bunch of high-schoolers even if we're all saying the same thing, but a detective's another story. So...

[He looks down at the bracelet, brow furrowing a little, pointer finger at the ready, and... does a pretty dramatic double take.]

Huh? It started recording already?

Whether we're believed or not isn't our concern. We can simply give out the information we have and nothing else. [Those who choose to listen to it or not... that's up to them.

But since the feed is on her attention is drawn away from Yosuke's floundering.]

I want to make it clear that although we are familiar with these particular events they are by no means the exact same. However I've theorized they could be quite similar so I implore everyone to listen to what we have to say.

Yeah, dammit! You listen to- uh. [The young man to interrupt this time goes a bit red, and lets her talk on.]

Subtle, Kanji... [But Yosuke backs off too as he mutters it, leaving the picture slightly less crowded.]

You heard the guy. Better listen to the lady or you'll have one scary punk coming after you! [Rise doesn't try to jump into the screen like the others, but her voice is more than recognizable.]

Gah! Rise...

[Naoto sighs a bit at the ruckus from her friends but continues once they've settled down a bit.]

I'm not certain what the alternate universe is precisely the important thing to note is that there is a possible means of escaping. If you haven't already encountered then you might. Secrets, lies and repressed feelings particularly pertaining to yourself seem to surface more readily in the alternate world. Although difficult to hear and even more difficult to face if you can do so you'll be set free and return to the real Asgard like you'd never left.

It sounds easy in theory but in practice is quite a hurdle since it requires accepted the... darker parts of ourselves whether we like them or not. I implore everyone to keep this mind if they're taken to that alternate world. By accepting everything you're faced with about yourself you can escape.

[There's a brief pause, after a fashion.]

Wow, Naoto, good going. I think you just lost the entire audience. [Yosuke's attempt to jostle his way back into the video isn't a careful one, and half of him ends up still cut off by the edge of the frame. Oblivious, he clears his throat.] Just listen! I know you've all got other stuff to worry about, and I know she makes it sound sterile, but trust us, it's not. The important thing is, if you fall in there too - whatever you do, whatever you end up hearing - don't say "you're not me". Okay? Okay.

Oh, and if anyone's seen... Eh, never mind. [Before anyone can correct him, he reaches down and switches Naoto's recording off.]

[ooc: replies and possibly threadjacks may be from any combination of Yosuke, Kanji, Rise and Naoto!]

I can't think of anything we can do here.

We've just gotta ... keep safe for when they do come back.

[brainiest]

That's a good idea. My powers haven't really developed much, but I'm doing whatever I can - including taking care of their things.

[ And then there's a very loud bird noise in the background and Hermione stumbles a little. ]

And their friends.
