Sixth Field of Fonons

[yourfononsarewhack]

[Action: House 1]

[The first notable event of the morning is Jade's morning cup of tea falling to the floor with a shatter. He's sitting at the dining room table and looking on with an expression that looks equal parts disturbed and befuddled. The reason? A certain woman seems to be walking through the house, reacting as if being greeted by others. Yet never looking directly at Jade...

Jade spends some time afterwards investigating the house, until the second phenomenon occurs: the appearance of an unusual man at the house's piano, and he seems to be playing it...]

[Voice]

[At some point later in the day, the colonel takes to the journals and makes note of the similar observations that two others have made. It's time to organize these thoughts... He sends out a voice transmission.]

This is Colonel Jade Curtiss. I'm speaking regarding a recent phenomenon in this village. Most likely, it's another shift at play. But I'd like to hear about others' observations to ensure that we reach a proper conclusion.

Have any of you happened to spot unusual figures around Luceti? They're nusual in the way that they do not seem to notice your existence at all, and they in fact seem to fade away after several moments. It will be especially noticeable if they are people you know and who are no longer present in the enclosure. For example, have any of you managed to spot this silver-haired woman anywhere? [Enclosed is a depiction of the woman shown above.]

If any of you have managed to get these apparitions to communicate with you in any way, by all means, feel free to share with the rest of the class.

[Action: Open]

[Jade can be found at a number of places throughout Luceti, where seeks out the silver-haired woman. The locations that he investigates include the school, the library, the bakery, the item shop and the abandoned House 27. One can find him when he's in the process of seemingly investigating the area, or in the midst of a ghost sighting...]

You mean I'm not the only one!? I'm not insane!? Finally, some small piece of good news comes from this crazy place!

[Voice]

[yourfononsarewhack]

I wouldn't rule out the possibility of insanity so soon, yet it's most likely unconnected to these apparitions.

[Voice]

[theideaguy]

Very funny.

I've been seeing two girls, both about my age. And both... well, kinda close to me. And I know one of them used to be here in Luceti. Not sure about the other one?

[Voice]

[yourfononsarewhack]

Interesting. Do you have any way of finding out for sure if the other was ever here?

[Voice]

[lordhotman]

[So he's not the only one that's noticed this going on. After school, Zuko had noticed some strange people walking around too. And more of the same when he got back home.]

Yeah, I've seen them. One of them was my sister, but she didn't react to me at all.

[Voice]

[yourfononsarewhack]

Are you sure she wasn't simply offended by something you did? They say that some siblings are quite fond of 'the silent treatment'. [He sounds just a bit teasing in that.]

[Voice]

[lordhotman]

Trust me. She's not like that.

[His life would have been a lot easier if she only gave him the silent treatment.]

[Written]

[whiskytraitorfirefight]

Also confirming I've seen people walking around.

[All people that had left the enclosure too.]

[Written]

[yourfononsarewhack]

Thank you, Ginia. Any further details?

[Written]

[whiskytraitorfirefight]

It seems like they're repeating things they might have done while they were in Luceti. [Kakashi walking his dogs at the same time they always met and taking the same route. Marco by the pen feeding Mario.] I haven't found a way to communicate with them.

[voice;]

[codenamexv]

Going to have to go on the 'no contact with ghosts' train.

[Which is good.]

[voice;]

[yourfononsarewhack]

It appears to be a swiftly-filling train. But you have seen some?

[voice;]

[codenamexv]

One way ticket and all~ ;hearts;

Not the one you described. But yes, I have seen some walking around. It's like they've been here before. Maybe I'm over thinking it! [A small laugh.]

[action: library]

[folklorist]

[ Helios will take note of Jade's unusual actions today. Mainly because it looks like he's looking for someone in particular or perhaps something? Helios isn't sure but as he's the only one taking care of the library right now he'll just have to ask. ]

Ah. Are you looking for something? [ Kinda looks like you dropped something but he won't say that for now. ] If you need any help I'm more than free to lend a hand. If-if you want the extra set of hands that is.

[action: library]

[yourfononsarewhack]

[He's trying to be casual about it, but at some times there's no avoiding the way he seems to be looking out for someone. Nebilim could appear at any moment, so Jade wanted to be keen not to miss her next appearance. He takes note of Helios as he approaches - an interesting man with interesting abilities, from what he remembers back at Zompania.]

Oh? I'm intending to meet with someone, as a matter of fact. In this case, an extra pair of eyes would be more useful than hands.

[action: library]

[folklorist]

Oh! Ah I'm not interrupting anything then, am I? [ He looks around at the partially empty library. Hm well he's not sure who he's looking for but Helios isn't beyond leaving someone without at least offering to help. ]

What do they look like? I-I could perhaps direct them to you if they stop in, if you'd want?

[Voice]

[lastfonmasterguardian]

[Uh oh. A silver-haired woman? That wasn't good. But Anise has something else to say, too.]

Um, I wasn't sure I should mention it, but I think I keep seeing Florian around. At first I thought I was seeing things, or that it was just Ion, but it was definitely Florian!

[Ion was never that energetic or in that good health. And it worried Anise; the only other people she'd heard about the sighting from had all seen people that were dead in their world; it couldn't be the same for Florian! It just couldn't!]

[Voice]

[yourfononsarewhack]

[Ah, Anise. She most likely knows exactly who he's talking about. But he'll just be cool and casual in addressing her.]

Is that so? Yes, I imagine it would be a simple matter of telling them apart. Between their differences in demeanor and energy, as well as the height difference here in Luceti. [Oh Ion, the growing boy.] I assume he didn't respond to you?

[Voice]

[lastfonmasterguardian]

He didn't even turn around!

[Cue her semi-angry face.] I tried calling after him, I tried talking to him, but he acted like I wasn't even there!

[The bastards in Luceti who did this were going to pay.]

[Voice]

[voidseeing]

They can't be communicated with as far as I can tell. They're like holograms: we can see them, but we can't touch or interact with them.

[He certainly tried when he saw what he'd thought was Shu.]

I've spoken to a couple of them and gotten no reaction at all.

[Voice]

[yourfononsarewhack]

Mm. It seems that you have the same experience that everyone else has. ['Holograms'. One of those advanced technologies that he knows primarily through the Battle Dome, but it's fitting enough of a term.]

Have you verified if any of the apparitions you've sighted have resided in Luceti in the past?

[Voice]

[voidseeing]

Yeah. Someone from my world who was here for a few months earlier this year. He was sent home back in the spring.

[written]

[seleniahymn]

It wasn’t a woman that I saw, but there was no response from any I have seen.

[She may not actually be speaking, but her writing seems tired as it is.]

[written]

[yourfononsarewhack]

[She doesn't know.

By now, he's surely well-accustomed to her condition. So he writes promptly.]

I see. And did you recognize all of those people?

[written]

[seleniahymn]

Quite a number of them, even if it has been a long time sin a few instances.

I assume you've received similar answers from many others?
