Well, I suppose it's been long enough for me to be ready for another end of the world scenario.

I've already checked in with Spider-Man, but we need to coordinate a response to this. Our city, and the rest of the world, needs us!

I realize that DATS has called for aid, but they've got a military behind them. I won't fault anyone for going to join them, but while they're dealing with this Chaosmon, there are people suffering and dying.

Beast Boy is tied up in Tetha, and if we've got a flier with Super Strength, he could definitely use a hand. The whole island is crumbling!

As for those of us in Neon City, we've got to use our strengths!

Roxy, those chasms have swallowed people up. Please, see if you can pull people out.

Spider, your strength could be all we've got to hold up crumbling buildings.

Everyone else... well, it's Armageddon. Forget any looters you may see, property is not as important as lives. Let's concentrate on riot-busting, and rescues!

Interesting. VERY interesting.

The ambient noise will harmonize with other Christmas music, and will drown out holiday inappropriate music.

I need to get my hands on some more exotic music to further test the effects of this virus.

So... I trust everybody's managing to cope with this latest trick of the digital world's gods?

A happy All Hallows Eve... Eve to all of you!

We're having another costume contest this year, so everyone who plans on participating? I ask that you sign up here so we can make everything nice and official.

I hope to see everyone there! Good luck to all of you!

(OOC: Okay, we're going to be doing this the same way we did last year. Once we've got our entries, we'll be posting to the OOC community with voting for who wins. Entries will be accepted until WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 2ND AT 10:00 PM, PST. Once again, for simplicity's sake, ICly your characters don't need to say what they're coming to the contest as, but OOCly we'd like to have that information here in one place, so we can set up the judging poll as easily as possible. So if you can leave an OOC note with their costume, that'd help immensely. Thanks!)

Okay, uh...

I'm just a little bit panicked here.

Around 4:00 AM last night, someone broke into the MAGI offices.

This... wouldn't really be all that surprising, in my world we've always been a target for the power-hungry thanks to the kind of items and information we deal in.

No, I'm worried because of WHO it was that broke in, and how.

Her name is Ghost Widow, she's an agent of an organization called Arachnos in my world. She's one of the foremost mages in the world, and she's also effectively immortal.

Worse yet, everything she stole... she left in my home. She slipped past my wards like they weren't even there. She's... mocking me, I guess?

Ugh... this is NOT how I wanted to spend this week... Everyone, be on your guard. I'm attaching a picture of her, just for reference sake. Avoid her if at all possible, she's extremely dangerous.

(OOC: No, not a new character, just Kat falling victim to Yggdrasil's meddling in her own spell.)

Hey, Spider.

Looks like there's a prom coming up.

You ever take a girl?

You want to? ♥

Hello, Sam.

I was going to give you this on your birthday, but given the sizeable gift you received, I suspected you would be incapacitated for some time.

Anyway, I would be remiss if I didn't have something for you.

[Attached: Wrapped Box containing a pendant of rune-etched carnelian]

I thought it was about time to give you something to help you focus your skills. You've been progressing in your studies very impressively.

Happy Birthday, Sam.

Hey.

Spider.

What do I gotta do to hear from you? Sit in the middle of a web? Rob a bank? Get hit with another virus?

Call me, huh? We're being ridiculous about this.

I really must thank my partner, I had no idea I was being lazy until he bit me.

I suspect we're both under the effects of whatever virus is affecting everyone else.

I also suspect that I am going to have to have a long talk with several of my students and staff at the end of this week.

I ALSO suspect that if he's mad now, Leormon's going to be furious when I let him out of the closet.

Ugh, I don't want to deal with all of this... stupid virus...

Ms. Noguchi?

I've been to visit my student, and she directed me to the store where the items were stolen from. The owner, Mr. Tentomon, seems to be a nice enough fellow, but he's dead set and determined that it was Luna who did it. The only other Tamer who visited his store around that day was, quote, A Charming Red-Haired woman.

He couldn't describe her to me any better than that, but when the first word that comes to mind is "Charming", I'm a little suspicious. "Tall", "Heavy", "Menacing", and "Beautiful" are all words that come to mind immediately when one thinks of a person. "Charming" is more indicative of a familiar relationship, an opinion developed over time. And when it's NOT, it's usually not the only descriptor.

I'm hoping that will give you something to go on, but it's not much so far. In fact, it's decidedly LITTLE. I'm always concerned when someone can't recall something more than a description that short...

Okay, it's been WAY too long, even for B.B.

Hinata Inn, when's the last time you've all seen Beast Boy? It's not like him to be out of sight for this long.

You know, I have missed seeing the paparazzi.

I just wish they could get a better angle than that...

I'm gonna need to find an agent again...

[Seeing as the Digital World has FAR too many villains... just assume that if your villain has a history of senseless violence or a complete inability to play well with others, this isn't broadcast to them. Otherwise, it's open to them. If you're unsure whether your character would be invited, feel free to ask.]

Good day, all of you. I realize I'm probably the last person many of you want to see. However, that's neither here nor there.

Today is one of those special days in human history where differences should be set aside, and people should find something to be thankful for. It's a day of peace, security, and a chance to relax. I'm not going to ask all of you to change your ways. I'm not even going to ask you not to take part in any schemes you may have planned tonight.

Instead, I'm just going to let you know that I'm preparing a feast for you. If you haven't got family here, if you haven't got a place to go tonight, I want to make sure that for tonight at least... You do.

[Attached: Neon City Lightpost Data, map marker]

I've rented a warehouse, and given it a conversion to make it as homely as possible. It will be neutral ground for this evening. There will be a full Thanksgiving meal for One Hundred there, and I've rented some big screen TVs. The Windball Finals will be showing, and I've pulled in some favors to get the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade from two worlds showing, and a couple of football games too. There will be music, drinks, and plenty of seating.

If you want it, come by. The meal will start at 9:00 PM. All I ask is that you behave for this one night so that everyone can have a good night and a warm home-cooked meal. I hope to see you there. Happy Thanksgiving.

I will have hand-picked security there, but that's for MY safety just in case someone decides that my hospitality is a good chance to get one over on me. The police will be actively diverted from this district, security will not harass you, and nobody will tell you you're not welcome. You will have complete freedom to come and go as you please.

Hello, MAGI!

Katherine here with an announcement. With Thanksgiving on Thursday, we will be taking two days off of work and classes.

The doors will REMAIN OPEN until 2:00 PM in case anyone wants to swing by, and I'll be preparing a nice holiday lunch for everyone. We may even stay open later, if any of our instructors want to take responsibility for the offices after I leave for dinner with my family. However, I am going to be ducking out at 2:00.

Obviously, everyone is welcome to partake. Otherwise, I'll see everyone again bright and early on Monday morning! I hope everyone has a happy holiday.

Hey, Capes, Cowls, and Masks of all ages.

The Titans, though reduced in numbers, will once again be hosting a Thanksgiving meal. If you want a good, hot, home-cooked meal on Turkey-day? Swing by the tower.

Hopefully you know where it is. If not... [Attached: Map Data]

Pst, Spider? That means you. I don't want you pulling the whole brooding thing. If you DON'T come to the tower, I'll track you down and drag you there, and feed you the whole meal if I have to.

Just a note, come in costume, even if you're comfy with your civie identities being known. I don't want any uncomfortable situations coming up because someone decided business casual would be more appropriate.

Also, I'm gonna be cooking a bit extra for some of our rogues later in the evening, so... I wouldn't mind some backup to hang in the proverbial rafters when I do that. Everyone deserves a good holiday meal, but I have no illusions of everyone behaving in THAT crowd. And no, it won't be at the tower. I'm not THAT trusting.

Thanksgiving's coming up, and I've picked up a couple of turkies. Thanks to the whole secret identity thing, I'm gonna be cooking two meals again, if you two are interested in it.

Well, three, technically, since I want to feed my students and any MAGI Visitors as well. I can't rightly say that a lot of those people have any place to enjoy a good meal...

So... are there any dishes you two would like me to prepare?

Other Mother?

This is Silverwing, of the Digital World Titans.

I caught one Zak Saturday attempting to incite a riot, and we had a skirmish when he ordered his friends to attack me. I've subdued him, but I'd like someone related to him to come and take custody of him. He claims his family isn't in the Digital World, so I'm turning to you.

Good day, party-goers and contest hopefuls!

I'm pleased to announce that once again, we will be holding our annual costume contest at this year's Halloween Ball at Carnival Island!

Grand prize, once again, is going to be a Digimental of Darkness! You know you want it.

We will have a gift basket for all entrants, and we will also have some other prizes for our runners up! So please, get your entries in as soon as possible! Sign ups will remain open until the event begins.

(OOC: Okay, we're going to be doing this the same way we did last year. Once we've got our entries, we'll be posting to the OOC community with voting for who wins. Once again, for simplicity's sake, ICly your characters don't need to say what they're coming to the contest as, but OOCly we'd like to have that information here in one place, so we can set up the judging poll as easily as possible. So if you can leave an OOC note with their costume, that'd help immensely. Thanks!)

[Whereever you are, whatever you're doing, every D-Comm in the digital world turns on at 6:00 PM, playing what should be a very familiar song for most people. And thanks to the Wizardmon and Sorcermon, it will play to its completion even if you try to turn it off.]

Well, in spite of the chaos of the last few days, it seems that a good deal of us are still alive and kicking! There's no sense in letting the events that have taken place in Tetha bring you down, and if you need some cheering up? Well, how does a party grab you?

The season of the witch is approaching once again, after all. And that means that it's almost time for the annual Halloween celebration at Carnival Island.

Those of you've who've been here for a year or more know what I'm talking about, but for those of you who weren't here last October, I'll explain. I, and a coalition of entities across the digital world, throw a massive party on Halloween that encompasses all of Carnival Island. Parties, dances, haunted houses, trick-or-treating.. The Island practically becomes the embodiment of the holiday!

However, I can't do it alone.

Anyone who wants their jobs back from last year? Same details, just get in contact with me. You know I'll have plenty of work for you.

As for the new guys? We'll be needing construction help, security, catering, tour guides... pretty much a whole party crew! If you'd like to work, get in contact with me, and I will find something for you. :)

I think it should go without saying, but...

This is an official MAGI advisory. Until further notice, all members of MAGI are advised to avoid venturing into Tetha-controlled territory. Tamers and their partners are at great risk of harm based on Ravemon's lunacy, and this extends to digimon who are known to associate with tamers.

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAGH!!!

Jericho.

I had been hoping that I could meet you in person to discuss this, but... Time is running short.

This is Katherine Simmons, Luna's instructor and guild leader.

I need to talk to you about something you may not be all that willing to hear.

Please, get back to me.

Batgirl. I'm confident you can hack the further encryption on this, and if you can't, well... I need someone who can.

A fly on the wall told me that I should look you up. That same fly in the wall has given me information that I plan to make use of to put a stop to Ravemon's plans for war. So... I'm looking you up, both as a courtesy to let you know what I'm planning... and to ask your help.

If your teams have acquired, say... any financial or military records? I could REALLY use them to back up my information, but I want you to be aware that I'm prepared to move ahead without it.

It'll take the heat off of you when Ravemon sees his big plan fall apart beneath him. Because I'm going public with what I'v egot, in a big way.

It'll probably piss him off, making him more likely to make mistakes. Whatever evidence your teams have could REALLY be used to put the hurt on him then.

But I won't try to tell you how to do your job.

So... please. Get back to me. I want your help, but... I will move forward without it. I'm confident that what I've got will find corroborating evidence soon enough.
