This is your friendly reminder that harmful supernatural activity has been on the rise as of late. Special Investigations is doing all it can to track down the source of these issues and resolve them. If you see anything amiss, do not hesitate to contact me, Niyo, or, in an emergency, flag down a Twelve Peers Supernatural Patrol Unit. They're there to let us know when shit goes down. Thank you.

Adam and I are back from our chat with Mobius. The short version is that Mobius is willing to back us in a "Vote of No Confidence" that'll stop Judgeman in his tracks if we can find hard evidence of Judgeman's shady behavior, but the Numeral Hunter's 'existence' here isn't that. But he's definitely hiding something. Something that, if Mobius' clues are anything to go off of, connected to the Number Hunter.

There's been two squads. There's the current Number Hunter that's here on Earth, and an 'original' squad that apparently ended very, very badly. I don't know the details.

...There's also a noun he mentioned. Ettosyleit. It's not any language I recognize. Maybe someone else will? It seems like something that connects to all of this, it's the only hint Mobius could give us.

Also, there's a possibility that 'Amy', aka the Bujinki Amaterasu currently residing at the hotel, is involved. He referenced the Amenonuhoko and Takama-Ga-Hara, and the fact that Amaterasu's existence is 'myth', which is shorthand for "we've tried to bury it". As far as why... I don't know.

Additionally, there is a chance that Dark Mist isn't dead, but as to why, we aren't... entirely sure. Though its connection to Yuma's number seems all the more pronounced, now.

And we still don't exactly know how the Rank-Up-Magics fit in all of this, either.

We've got some leads to go on... but we've got more questions than answers, too.

ASK QUESTIONS GET RESULTS.

You can ask about characters I -have- played before but there's no guarantee I actually remember them, my memory holds water like a pasta strainer.

Why is Noriko making everyone I'm involved with go back to high school.

This is an alarming trend.

Guess I should at least keep an eye on the academy in the forseeable future. Also maybe pick out some clothes juuust in case. Can't be too careful.

Today, I am pleased to announce a much-needed expansion to the Domino Police Special Investigations project.

Several months prior to the WRGP fiasco, there were a series of incidents involving mysterious figures on D-Wheels attacking people. As many might be aware, the assailant was eventually caught, only to be revealed to be a hijacked prototype of a police-force prototype, the "Riding Roid".

Today, the Special Investigations Department is pleased to announce that we have worked with the main Domino Police branch to acquire the remains of the prototype and the project specs. We have given it a complete overhaul to bring you our latest assistant in hunting down special cases.

I bring you the first batch of the Twelve Peers Law Enforcement Android Series.

[There's a picture here, of what looks like a humanoid machine, with a reinforced police outfit with what looks like layered metal plating on the shoulders, forearms, chest, and legs.]

In themselves new prototypes based off the Riding Roid, these new models are made to be able to quickly identify supernatural threats and defend the common public against them. Their primary duty is to allow us to respond to threats far faster than we ever could on our own, but they also have the ability to pursue fleeing suspects, duel, and make arrests in the absence of any other Special Investigations officers.

Our prototypes for this series will be hitting the streets over the weekend, and we will be rolling out more models to allow for an better coverage of the Domino area over the course of this year.




...And now that the formalities are out of the way, sorry I've been so quiet, everyone. Life catches up with you, after a while.

Right, well. I guess that solves that mystery. Sort of.

The one night I don't work... Just my luck.

Well, that... I guess, worked out. Always good to bust a cult.

Noriko, can you tell me more about your Black Velvet thing? It might be relevant to the current case, and I'm not caught up on it.

Also, we got another Dark Mist sighting, it seems. Things are never easy.

Another day, another crazy adventure.

[Private to Jinn]

Check your potential employers. They should be fine now. We caught the kid who was doing it.

We've got a bit of a bigger problem, though...

Well, I suppose that's been squared away, then.

For anyone trying to contact Special Investigations about reports and attacks, I've become the Captain of the whole branch. If you need SpecInv's attention, feel free to contact me directly.

Got a whole lot more work to do, too...

[Private to Seiya and Shinoko]

Hey, were you two still thinking of signing up for SpecInv?

[So, you're on what appears to be a giant chessboard. All the pieces are there, but they seem to be faceless. Or at the very least, they may have a face you recognize for a split second, before being obscured.

Something else is clearly wrong. There seems to be more sides to this chessboard. One for every side of the square, though it stretches onward, farther than you'd expect.

You can move freely across the squares, but as you do, you might notice a Knight-like piece in the middle of the board. Disheveled hair and wearing dark leather armor, carrying a two-handed blade. You probably recognize this oaf, as he stands very strictly, very rigidly in place.

Dare you approach?]

[You seem to have come across a castle. Though it looks medieval in origin, there are parts that don't seem quite right. It seems smoother, made with materials that shine better in the mid-afternoon light, and generally seems to be a twinge more advanced than you'd expect a medieval castle to be.

The gate has been lowered. You can cross the moat and head inside. There isn't anything else for miles around... do you advance?]
