Night Not Only Falls, It Bounces Too

Night. Day. Night. Day. Twilight? Daybreak. Night. Day again.

Somewhere in between running raids on SkullBoneBloodTooth Island and checking out their new Half-demigod-half-celestial's jiggle physics, it seems I.T. has finally managed to chase the bugs to the diurnal cycle simulator; It's like a humongous infant is screwing around with a humongous light switch and having a hell of a good time with it. Day is suddenly night, and ten seconds of darkness later it's day again. It's annoying, and probably the cause of a few more crashes and stubbed toes and accidental gropes after bouncing into each other in the mutable gravity. But overall not the worst that could happen... well, for most people.

"Oh man here we go a-- *PHUFFH!* "AUGH! I'd figure it'd be easier by n--" *PHUFFH!* "But nope, still hurts" *PHUFFH!* "Arawr! Okay this isn't funny anym--" *PHUFFH!* "NNG!"

For Sonic, it's a little more of a problem. It had caught him in the courtyard, and he's now leaning on the edge of the (inactive and algae-brown) fountain. Every time the daylight drops off he goes Werehog with a flash of sickly green light. When it bounces back on, he changes back with another flash. And neither one looks particularly pleasant.

*PHUFFH!* "When I get my hands on them I'm gonna-- *PHUFFH!* "NNG! File a complaint or something..." *PHUFFH!* "As hard as I possibly CAN!"

Talk to him? Try to help? Play out schitzoid daylight problems of your own?

Plz halp u gaiz (video)

Well, this is interesting.

Can anyone tell me how to get back to CO? My gate key isn't working, and this world isn't nearly as interesting as I thought it would be. I'd really like to get back before I'm bored to death. And I think those people are really mad that I broke that lamp...

Robot Ruckus Recuitment [Video]

Sonic doesn‘t seem to have the joviality that he normally does when he stares into the video screen this time around. Serious Hedgehog is serious, or at least as serious as he‘s capable of being…

“Hey guys, Sonic here! And it looks like I’m actually gonna need some help... The ol’ Egghead’s up to his tricks again, but this time he’s layed a full-on attack on Empire City! Right now the place is crawling with robots and the whole place is shut down!

“If I can get up into the Egg Carrier I can bust up the control center and shut them all down for good; THAT should be no problem! But I need people on the ground to fight ‘em back and keep people from getting hurt in the meantime!

“I’m thinking a team of three, but if more wanna join in we can form a second team too, no sweat! Eggman always seems to have an unlimited supply of robots, so expect a pretty long fight.”

He puts on a small smirk now. “So… who wants to help me save the city?”

EDIT: [Video]

"You guys are awesome, two teams and then some! I think that's all we're gonna need. See ya later!"

Mission 10 (I think) - Operation Nightmarish NiGHTS

[Locked to NiGHTS and Deimonea] NiGHTS, Deimonea? I think we all should talk. [/lock]

So, Josh is in the training room! And he is piloting a...

"Goddamn it, the reaction time on this ain't fast as in the dreamtime, that's for sure..."

...A Gepenst, I beleive it's called.

He's not doing so hot right now.

Mock? Help? Throw popcorn?

[OVER VARIOUS COMPETITORS' PDAS, EXCLUDING GENSOKYO RESIDENTS]

All right, competitors. We will be fighting against each other in the ring, but until that moment, I am still your ally, and I wish to see you all fighting your best. Therefore, I am offering a quick crash course in creating and using your own spellcards. I would highly recommend taking this, as I will not be offering an other opportunity. Feel free to swing by the Simulation Chamber in the next few hours, and I will do what I can.

[ACTION]

One competitor, at least, has already joined up; Kitaro can be seeing trying out some patterns, though they're still obviously not very high quality. Observers might note he's slightly tense around Ran, though Ran is doing her best in spite of it as far as coaching him.

Look who's back to normal

ATTENTION, SOS BRIGADE, UNOFFICIAL MEMBERS OF THE SOS BRIGADE, AND THE REST OF CO!

Let's put together a Ferinus Aer team! I skimmed the rulebook and it sounds really fun!

I'm the team manager, obviously. Kyon, you're either shortstop or quarterback, I'll let you pick.

An unbreakable Mind and an Uncorruptable Heart

[NiGHTS is floating through the hallways, looking at something. It looks like a normal manga at first, but upon closer inspection, it's a hentai.

It doesn't look like he minds though. In fact, he seems to be in no way aroused by it. In fact, he has no idea what he's really looking at.]

How did someone manage to draw that? It looks so complicated.

[Someone needs to get him out of the halls before a child sees what he's looking at.]

[While Haruhi had been riding a wave of enthusiasm ever since the crisis ended, it seems like her mood has been gradually darkening ever since. Even with the Ball incoming, she hasn't been getting at all worked up about it or really harassing anyone!

No, she's mostly staying locked in her room, or going back to her homeworld. She can occasionally be seen in the cafeteria, wherein she gets food, eats it as quickly as possible, then immediately leaves. Very little willful contact with anyone.

Approach at your own risk!]

Action post/ Playercest

So that's why this entire investigation is in huge trouble.

[Meryl was storming down the halls, explaining the current crisis in small, easy to understand words to a recently-revived NiGHTS. After an entire world disappeared, looking for one little rouge nightmare was the last thing that she wanted to do, especially since the council seems to be doing a botch job of things.]

And just why did they stop searching again?

[NiGHTS was very confused by the concept of bureaucracy, though the desire to be an asshole is something he was familiar with. Still, between the final battle with Wizeman and the investigation, any downtime whatsoever seemed to elude NiGHTS.]

And that's the part I don't get.

So, just what are we supposed to do about it?


[NiGHTS stopped in midair as he started to wonder. Surely, Meryl didn't tell him all of this just to make him feel guilty about disappearing.

Well, considering the fact that you erased yourself from existence and I had to waste valuable time looking for you, we're pretty damn late.


[You guessed incorrectly, NiGHTS. There's a rather awkward silence.]

Well, don't go blaming me!

[Cue the rude stares and arm crossing as they part ways. Feel free to approach either of them, but don't expect to see them ever speak to each-other again.]

GREETINGS, ALL ALIENS, PSYCHICS, TIME TRAVELERS, AND SLIDERS!

Actually, scratch that last one, because I'm a slider too, now. EVERYONE ELSE! My name is Haruhi Suzumiya, leader of the SOS Brigade and official emissary of planet Earth, version HS! To cut straight to the point, I want to know as much as possible about every other world out there! The weirder the better! As long as you're cool, interesting, and have an appreciation for the mysteries of the multiverse, I'll even consider making you a member of the SOS Brigade!

I don't have all day! Speak up, guys!
