002 EMAIL: RECUITMENT

I'm looking for someone or someone's who would go on treasure hunts with me. How would you like to team up?
If you're interested, I want you to prove yourself first. Somewhere just outside of Edge, there's suppose to be a treasure hidden by who-knows-who. ;)

If you manage to find it, I'll let you in.

You can get your hands on some really rare items by becoming a treasure hunter and we might be able to find hidden secrets about the planet! Or you can just do something instead of sitting in hot-ass rooms.
Not a bad deal, is it? No...no, I don't think so.

Good Luck.

Signed: Treasure Princess


[ooc: Those who travel outside of Edge will find treasure through a series of traps that were set up my Yuffie. She'll be at the end waiting and for the moment the "treasure" is just a business card telling people that you're awesome.]

Video

[Unfortunately, Kain hasn't yet completely mastered the video feature, so everyone is treated to a view of mostly Kain's hand, at the moment, with some images of sky and buildings poking through. The voice that speaks is deep and stern sounding, overall just way too serious for this.]

Apparently if I speak into this device, I'm communicating with others. I have my doubts. Why should I want to, anyway?

[They have nothing like this at home! Speaking of that...]

But if someone out there knows of a way to return to where we've come from, I would appre-

[Aaaand suddenly his voice cuts off, the phone falls over as Kain falls over, fainting unexpectedly. Whoops? For now the phone is just showing off the clouds and sky.]

[ Tifa looks sweaty. Like, super sweaty. Her hair's pulled back into a messy bun to keep it up off her neck, and she's not even wearing her usual work uniform of leather duster and vest, instead opting for something a little more breathable.

She also looks extremely apologetic. ]


To the patrons of the Seventh Heaven in Edge — I'm really sorry, but the air conditioning still doesn't seem to be working. I'm not a very good mechanic, though, so I can't seem to get it fixed...

[ ie: kicking it into submission didn't help oops ]

So until the problem's fixed, it's buy one, get one, on iced beverages and cold to go food, from open 'til close. Feel free to stop by for a cold one!

News Broadcast + Private Action

[Anyone able to get power to their televisions or radios are treated to a special news bulletin around noon on the 16th]

We have received reports that former President of ShinRa Electric Power Company and current CEO of ShinRa Tech Rufus Shinra collapsed on the way to his helicopter after a meeting in a Costa del Sol hotel today. No one knows where he was rushed to, but our sources say it was not to any public hospital. Could someone have planned this, or is Rufus Shinra just the latest victim in the rash of collapsed citizens plaguing the Planet? More at eleven.

[And if you're a ShinRa employee or otherwise familiar with Rufus at all, you will find him in his Edge apartment, one of the few buildings with fully functioning AC. He has it on full blast as his doctors said it might have been heat exhaustion combined with stress from his work lately.

Rufus is pretty sure that's bullshit, as what he vaguely remembers about being passed out is too much like when he was sick with the stigma to be simply exhaustion. But if it makes them stop nagging, whatever.]

01 - SHE'S TRYING (just not very hard) - text

[The messages appear one at a time, in fairly quick succession. They're preceded by a lot of messages consisting of things like 'aaaaaaaa' or strings of emoji. She's (kind of) mastered writing words with the phone. She hasn't yet got the hang of the difference between the mognet and the search engine.]

green stuff

what is green stuff

show me picutrs of doggs

who put me in green stuf

why is it green

do dogs com out of green stuff as well as peopl

why did green stuf take my hat

[And yes, many of these questions (the one about dogs especially, she has been very insistent) have been answered, as far at they were able, by very patient WRO staff while she was recovering. Multiple times. She probably wasn't listening.

And then, after a few hours-]

All right. Hey guys - and gals too. Zack here! That is the younger but no less dashing one of the two. I have a serious request. Two serious requests, really.

First, where can a guy get a drink? Really get a drink. I need a place that isn't going to stop me after a couple, you know?

Secondly? Company! I mean really, who wants to do that sort of thing alone? I can't be the only one that needs it so come one come all. Limited time offer!

[Video] - 001

I'm guessing that everything I've been told about what's going on here is true, as crazy as it sounds.

[Hello Edge~ Some of you might recognize this individual because she's from this world! Or at least, apparently, there is a version of her here or something like that. The entire explanation she's received has been a bit mind numbing but she's taking it all in stride.

But she'd much rather be in Edge and not this hospital, thank you very much.]


And I'm also assuming there's no way back home.

[Sitting on the edge of her hospital bed, Cissnei frowns thoughtfully at the camera, tapping a finger against her chin.]

So I guess that means I need to find a way to Edge, doesn't it?

[When she asked, she'd been told that certain people were here but she...she's not going to believe it until she sees them. Until she can touch them. Because for her it's been a year since they disappeared and this all feels like a strange dream.

For now, she'll just bait them.]


What's the fastest way out of this place?

Message on Phones and Radio

Hello again everyone. This is Leon Worth of the WRO here with an announcement.

Earlier this month, if you somehow missed it, power to the more heavily populated regions of the Planet stopped. Unfortunately, the shift from mako energy to anything but is not an easy one and we are working to get power back to the cities. It is taking longer than we anticipated, however, and as an apology the WRO has partnered with the Grand Solarian in Costa del Sol, one of the cities that still has power, to offer compensated vacations to those who wish to claim them. These vacations last for three days at a time, and the vouchers for them can only be picked up in Edge or Junon though there is currently no limit on how many times you can claim a voucher. The Grand Solarian is one of the largest hotels in Costa del Sol, with two buildings in the city itself, one of which is on the beach, and villas just outside of it. The villas are not eligible for a compensated vacation, but the beachfront property is.

There are single, couple, and family vouchers available starting today. Please stop by the nearest WRO office or aid station to collect yours today.

[[OOC: Log for Costa del Sol here!]]

01 -- Two Boys and a Bed -- Video

[A general Mognet post today because Lea and Isa need anyone who can help.

Lea points his camera at the mess of wood and metal that is going to be their bedframe.

Eventually.

He hopes. Currently it’s just a disaster with Isa sitting in the middle of it, fuming and sweaty. Their apartment, like so many, is powerless.]


So...anyone know how to read backwoods Wutaian? At least I think that’s what the directions are in...or was it something else, Isa?

I think that’s what it is.

[He squints at the directions before holding them up for Lea’s phone to capture.]

[And yeah, it’s some dialect of Wutaian that two boys from Kalm would never have learned to read. Lea sighs]

Never buy a bed from a backalley furniture store, guys. Even if it’s a great deal for a queen-sized bed.

[Yes. Two teenaged boys got one queen-sized bed. No, they don’t see a problem with this.]

Okay, you’ve asked. Turn that off and go change the laundry to the dryer already.

You nag, you know that?

I wasn’t nagging. Nagging would imply I asked you more than twice.

[He pauses.]

You’re not still filming this are you?

[Lea snorts]

I'm getting it, I'm getting...Nag

[It cuts off.]

We're Live! (Finally...) [TV Broadcast]

[At eight in the morning, a cheerful, peppy looking blonde man and a calmer, though still pleased dark-skinned man appear on the televisions across Edge.]

Hey everyone. I'm Chris Martin, the one in charge of the Mognet servers.

[The blonde man's smile gets wider]

And I'm Leon Worth with the WRO. We're happy to announce that the Mognet servers are back up after last week's unfortunate electrical fire.

Electrical fire and water damage caused by our sprinkler system. Word of advice: get surge protectors for all of your electronics.

[Chris laughs a bit while Leon manages to keep his practiced polite smile in place despite the other man's exuberance.]

Yes. Anyway, while the servers are back up we do ask that people try to limit their Mognet usage for a day or two until all of the stress tests are done.

Or we risk another fire.

Exactly. I would also like to take this time to remind everyone that today is the start of the WRO hosted Summer Solstice Fair, a three day event we hope to make annual. Please, come out and enjoy everything the fair has to offer. Thank you.
