10TH DAY - [Video] + [Attachment]

[babel_hacker]

Yo, everyone! Atsuro here with your monthly update!

[Here there be Shadow Database attachment! People will either find theirs updated or a brand new one if they’re new.]

If you haven’t heard already from others or Madoka earlier, I’m currently maintaining the Shadow Database. It lists all the Shadows we discovered so far, along with their strengths and weaknesses. Meaning you can study up on them before you find them outside, or you can try looking it up during battle. But I recommend having a partner with you if you do that, just to cover for you.

As for other recommendations, make sure you know you and your partners can do in battle. Physical attacks, magic, healing, scanning... just to cover your bases against the Shadows. You never know when you meet a Shadow that can possibly strike your weakness.

On a similar note, this might be obvious and most people already know, but we gotta say it again. There are some Shadows that are immune to physical blows and moves. If you can’t use any elemental spells, you better find someone who can or run away from those Shadows.

[He pause, before looking serious.]

Last month’s mostly uneventful, when it comes to the full moon. [HE WON’T BOTHER MENTIONING DRAMA IN AMONG A CERTAIN CAST] But that doesn’t mean this month’s will be the same, so keep an eye on the moon cycle. Particularly the week before the full moon, things normally happen around that time.

[Then, a grin!]

Other than that, I’m also open for people to help out with the database! So if you can work with programs or can gather information from the Shadows, please speak to me or Madoka if you’re interested.

Now then…if there’s any other questions, ask away!

I still owe you a summary-of-events or whatever you wanna call it, don't I? Sorry, I'll get to that soon! I've been, err, kind of distracted.

[Signs of a guilty conscience: choosing not to explain why one has been distracted.]

...Oh, I did have an idea though. Figure I'd run it past you as you're the resident database expert, if you wanna lend me an ear.

[babel_hacker]

Yeah, you do. But I understand getting distracted!

...? Sure, what is it?

also er, [video]

[devola]

Well, you just mentioned something along the same lines as it, actually. Think one of the Sabers did earlier in the month, too.

Anyway, something kinda like a sister-list to the Shadow registry... I dunno if you'd wanna call it a Persona registry or what. Basically, just compile the names of anyone who's not adverse to lending people a hand in the dark hour, along with what they can do as far as said assistance is concerned.

I suppose running will be fine, considering that I don't have elemental skills or a partner.

[Sup, little girl.]

[babel_hacker]

[Whoa, someone that young? youngest of them?]

Yeah. Even if you're strong, there's no point to waste energy on something you can't hurt.

[Video]

[trueempress]

[Ten is pretty young, yeah.]

I've learned how to pick my battles, although not in this arena, I admit.

[doudemoe]

[So this is the Shadow database that girl told about. This will be useful.]

What happens during a full moon?

[babel_hacker]

Normally on a full moon, a very powerful Shadow appear and we have to take it down. On the week before the full moon, people around the city was affected by that Shadow's influence and acted strange.

[assaultedramen]

Maybe we should have some way of getting people to places quickly. I don't like asking for help, but all I can do to the ones that can't be hit is scare them one at a time.

[babel_hacker]

We need to figure out a system for that. There's only so much running can cover.

[assaultedramen]

It'd be easier if we didn't all live in one place, then would could be like the police and have stations all over the place so someone is always nearby.

[greyerrant]

I'd like to thank you for your continued good work.

[Video]

[babel_hacker]

You're welcomed! Just glad that I can help people like this.

[greyerrant]

We're going to need all the help we can get.

[emptysword]

...Y'know, its kinda saying something that I never noticed this before, isn't it?

[Oh hey its a... guy.]

[video]

[babel_hacker]

It kinda does.

[A beat.]

Er, I'm assuming you mean the database, right?

[video]

[emptysword]

...

...Well, yes.

[Awkward.]

Atsuro. [ Oh, it's that guy. ] I was told to speak with you regarding this database.

[babel_hacker]

Saber? [Oh hey, it's one of the many Sabers.] What do you want to talk about?

video;

[ex_cashcow493]

[ One of too many. ]

Your database. How thorough it is and such.

[kitsunemimi]

Hnn hnn. So these black miserable monsters really do exist.

[ flipping through said database; have a picture of an uninterested-looking Caster touching the video screen on her phone. ]

Gosh, I'm not crazy after all!

video;

[babel_hacker]

Yep! Unless we're all crazy, the Shadows really exist!

[why did you say that atsuro why]

The database show all the Shadows we know so far, but I wouldn't be surprised if new ones pop up.

[kitsunemimi]

Hyaa! Wha-What are you doing on my screen!?

[ Tamamo really wasn't expecting to accidentally broadcast herself flipping through Atsuro's files...

Never the less her surprised expression immediately evolves into her jubilant missive. ]

Iyaaa I must look like a mess! I apologize profusely for you to catch me unaware and when this lowly Servant was looking her worst! ♥

[stayedthere]

This is really useful, thanks. Are there any more of you who keep details about this island?

[babel_hacker]

Just to be sure, what kind of details?
