1st Hour [Video]

[perfectmaid.livejournal.com]

[The video flips on first with a picture of the floor of one of the hotel rooms before suddenly switching to a view of a young woman's face - a silver-haired maiden. Or rather, maid. She is indeed wearing a maid uniform and headband, but none of that trashy lacy costume stuff you see in the adult stores or cosplay catalogues. This actually looks pretty normal.]

It says recording... so I suppose it is on? Though I can't tell who it is sending it to...

In any case, hello. I'm Sakuya Izayoi and, well... if there's anyone who might like to explain why it is I'm here, I'm all ears. And if you're responsible... well, I'd love to speak with you.

[There's something vaguely threatening about how she smiles when she says that... but it's probably just your imagination, right? Looking again, her smile is perfectly friendly and any idea that she might have looked otherwise is just silly!]

And Remilia-ojousama, Flandre-imoutosama, Patchouli-sama... if you're here or can hear me, please respond; I'll come to you right away if at all possible.

Well, we're not sure how to do that yet.

[Video]

[perfectmaid.livejournal.com]

In that case, I'd prefer they not be trapped here with me...

[Video]

[kindofademon.livejournal.com]

Nice of you to think that.

[Video]

[perfectmaid.livejournal.com]

Well, it's bad enough that one of us be trapped in a foreign land under suspicious circumstances... I doubt whoever is responsible has our best interests in mind.

[Video]

[kindofademon.livejournal.com]

Eh, I've only died once here. Twice total. Not so bad.

[Video]

[perfectmaid.livejournal.com]

You... died?

[Video]

[kindofademon.livejournal.com]

It's not permanent here, but yeah. Stabbed until I stopped moving.

[Video]

[perfectmaid.livejournal.com]

People just... come back from the dead here?

[Video]

[kindofademon.livejournal.com]

Happens all the time.

[Video]

[perfectmaid.livejournal.com]

How strange. They just get up after a fatality, or does it take some time?

[Video]

[kindofademon.livejournal.com]

About a week. A week's how long it took me anyway.

[Video]

[perfectmaid.livejournal.com]

Bizarre. Do you remember the intervening time at all? Any kind of purgatory or somesuch?

[Video]

[kindofademon.livejournal.com]

It was like a long sleep with no dreams, really. I know time passed, but that's it.

[Video]

[perfectmaid.livejournal.com]

I see... and anyone who dies will come back?

[Video]

[kindofademon.livejournal.com]

That seems like the usual, yeah. Haven't seen it not happen.

[Video]

[perfectmaid.livejournal.com]

I wonder why that is... just another mystery of our presence here, I suppose.

[Video]

[kindofademon.livejournal.com]

You can't wave your arms around here without hitting a mystery.

[Video]

[perfectmaid.livejournal.com]

That's certainly one way to put it...

[Video]

[kindofademon.livejournal.com]

A perfectly good one too.

[Video]

[perfectmaid.livejournal.com]

Well, hopefully we can find some answers to them soon... do you know if we have any leads, so to speak?

[Video]

[kindofademon.livejournal.com]

Did I mention the monsters yet?

[Video]

[perfectmaid.livejournal.com]

Ah, someone else told me. They appear at midnight, or somesuch?

[Video]

[kindofademon.livejournal.com]

Right, and they stay for one hour. Can't miss it, it looks weird as hell.

[Video]

[perfectmaid.livejournal.com]

The monsters do?

[Video]

[kindofademon.livejournal.com]

Them and the sky, the water, the people... It's really hard to miss when this hour starts.
