*Allen was sure his father wasn't here, but...he was, wasn't he? Which was just great, because the only feelings that came to mind when Allen thought of his father were annoyance and disgust. But some things would just blow up if not done properly.*

Dad? I have someone you'll probably want to meet.

If we're going to be, um, dating *he still can't believe he can say that* now, you're probably going to want to meet my family, aren't you?

Hello new fake family members! That would be Issei, April, Sakurako and Cú Chulainn. This afternoon, Kaiji will be stopping by your residences. Working for a pizza shop has its advantages. Namely, cheap pizza and beer! Okay, and soda for the minors. So he'll be stopping by these places today to catch up with his "family". Have a Kaiji knocking on your door with a grin on his face and some food in his hands.

[Astolfo stands proudly in front of a car. A really old, beat-down car. It might have been an average car at some time, but not recently.]

You'll never believe how cheaply I bought this car for! With a bit of fixing it's perfectly serviceable, if not very attractive, and so much more efficient than just walking around.

My sons, would you spend a minute and help me fix it up? I'll take you for a ride anywhere you like after we get it in a better condition.

ITP: Lancelot is utterly befuddled. And an Uncle

[...Hokay what is with this deep baritone voice coming from this... actually smiling guy.]

His feelings had been conflicted during the start of this week, what's with other people claiming each other to be families while they clearly aren't. Of course, the confusion regarding that matter was utterly forgotten when he found himself harboring a feeling for both versions of his kings alike to those of a caretaker.

...That was strange in itself, as he clearly never remembered a time where he took care of both of them, let alone seeing them in one place. Perhaps it is the doing of this month's Shadow after their bouts of inactivity last month?]

Would you like to accompany your dear uncle for dinner?

[The worst part of this, though, would be the fact that this would actually make him GAWAIN's great uncle.]

And Gawain, we should meet together more often.

Would anyone like me to knit them a scarf? Or gloves? It's cold outside, and I worry.

The first dance | Video | Action

[dancingdeath]

[ A black screen strikes out first, and then it shows what it seems to be a hand, followed by the view of a beautiful woman. There’s a large pause, before said woman says something. ]

My Lord, it appears to be that this strange artifact will allow us to communicate with other people here.

[ Because after spending some days around and watching it, that was what Diao Chan could figure out. That and asking around the people in the stores... ]

Is there anything you want to do with it? [ The man’s voice comes from outside the screen, and he doesn’t seem to be planning to get into sight anytime soon. After a few days, and fighting a few shadows, he knows this place is not something to take lightly, so he’s alert for any possibility of attacks. Also, socialization is Diao Chan’s thing. Yep. ] For what we have seen, the people here are really chatty when it comes to sharing information.

It would be wise to know more about this strange place, if you allow me to seek some information for us, Lord Lu Bu. [ She makes a pause, her eyes looking at him calmly, even smiling at him a bit. ] And perhaps, there would be someone that can provide you with information for a challenge that you can enjoy, as I am quite aware of how those creatures for the darkness are no match for your abilities. [ Yeah, DiaoChan being DiaoChan. ]

That should do. [ There is an “o rly” chuckle following that, anyone asked for a big ego? XD ] If there is such a thing as a worthy challenger here, I am much looking forward to facing them.

Then let our presence be known. [ She turns to that strange device again. ] Excuse me, good people of this Land whose name it is still unknown to us. We arrived here a few days ago, and this place is quite different to the one we came from, but worry not, Lord Lu Bu is here. [ Advertising starting in three...two... one... ]

My name is Diao Chan, I am just a maiden that follows her Lord in this strange land. We seek some information about these creature of the darkness that appear in the night. My Lord wishes to face a stronger enemy of the darkness but we do not seem to have a vast knowledge about this place yet. Let it be known that your kindness will be rewarded soon, as I swore it for the name that my father gave to me. You have my gratitude for listening to what I have said.

[ Isn’t she the best waifu ever? She smiles again, quite nicely this time, assuming that this device will end soon! But in the meanwhile, she goes next to her Lord and pretend to be a damsel in distress, maybe she can enable him to go to a Mc Donalds because she’s hungry.

And this “maybe” totally means that anyone doing action can find mr. armored man and miss dancing lady in a Mc Donalds. Having burgers and fries. ]


[OOC: Yep, so magical joint intro post between Waifu Diao Chan and Husbando Lu Bu.
Any of the two may reply, and don’t be surprised if Miyu and Kai start threadjacking each other. And yes, for action you can find them having dinner in mcdonalds. Don’t steal Lu Bu’s french fries if you value your life.]

[So Madoka thinks she's got the gist of this 'Dark Hour' thing, and with others already ahead of her in the leveling game, she needs to start catching up or else they'll always be helping her when she wants to help them.

Which is why you'll probably see her going after small shadows during the Dark Hour tonight. She's being really careful to avoid groups or ones that might run off to stronger shadows, but that means she's spending a lot of energy to pick and choose her targets as she moves through the streets.

After taking out another shadow with what appears to be a curtain rod (it was the first sturdy object she could find and she figured she could use it like a spear), she wipes the sweat from her brow and lets out a sigh...]

Maybe I should have asked someone to power level me, instead... Still, no way I'm going to stay as the weakest of my family around here!

[She emphasizes this point with a clenched fist of determination and looks around for her next target.]

04: [Accidental Video, backdated to the afternoon of the 25th]

[truthsnomiracle]

[The feed that starts is at a strange angle. It's looking up at two men sitting on a bench outdoors, though the one in a black trenchcoat and burgundy pants is more clearly visible than the the one in a similarly black coat and green scarf. The former man looks rather irritated and pulls his hand up from the bench as he begins to speak to the latter. Maybe what jostled the phone loose was him striking the bench?]

( Technicolor chat between Edgeworth and Diarmuid here, with a plot-relevant namedrop at the start! )

[As Edgeworth runs out of words, Diarmuid pulls his "son" into a hug. Edgeworth looks awkward for a moment, then raises his arms to at least attempt to embrace his "father" in return. Shortly after that, the feed cuts out.]

[[OOC: Joint accidental post! Either Edgeworth or Diarmuid may reply or threadjack.]]
