[open] party @ my house
Who: Anyone!
When: Prrrobably fast forward to the evening of 11/22
Where: Ayumu Narumi's apartment
What: City-wide meeting
Rating/Warning: There shouldn't be any. Please let me know if there's anything that needs to be f-locked so I can change this accordingly.
[ Whether it was through Oz or Ayumu, or possibly an anonymous tip-off or some other, you were invited to a small gathering! Of course, the only ones invited are non-natives to the city.
It's probably strange to be invited to a stranger's apartment, but Ayumu didn't want anyone who shouldn't be involved to listen in on what they were talking about. Had it been at a public place, that could have happened. And besides, having people over for a very serious reason also gave him a very serious reason to cook. There was a pretty wide variety of food, from finger food, pasta, meat, rice, and some desserts. He was particularly good at cooking that the people who usually ate his food back at home wanted to marry him, but whether or not you'd find his cooking delicious is up to you.
Ayumu welcomes anyone to enters most likely wearing an orange apron and a spatula on his hand. The first thing he tells anyone who enters is to remove their shoes and leave them by the door. He's got everything ready, and his apartment looks comfortable enough. There might not be enough chairs, but he set up some mats on the floor for people to sit on. His living room/receiving area was right across his dining room, so there was ample space for all his guests.
Once there's a good number of people around, he calls everyone's attention. ]
Right.
My name's Narumi, and this is probably going to be the last time you'll see me. [ Socialising is hard. ]
I arrived here just before Halloween. I want to know about the strange things that have happened before I arrived. From my experience, there might be a pattern to these disruptions. The CEO apparently dismisses these as "glitches." The ghosts and people losing a sense or their entire body is one.
New people usually arrive every two weeks, but there weren't any lately. They should have arrived the past week. A disruption was probably supposed to happen, too, but it didn't. I don't know if this is another "glitch" or not, but it's definitely a change from what you'd probably call "the usual".
If anyone who has been here longer can talk about past "disruptions", then the floor is yours. Knowing when and how long they happened would be good to know too. If we can at least figure this out, then we'd be able to have less casualties. I'm sure at least one person here in this room has died in this place already.
I also probably wouldn't talk about what happens here through those devices they gave us. It'll help to be careful.
Note: City-wide meeting mingle GO. Feel free to make your own top-level comments, and you are more than welcome to threadhop! INTERRUPT YATA WHILE HE'S TALKING, GO.Actually, don't do that.
Talk about Serious Things, or whatever you feel like your character would contribute! If your character wouldn't speak in front of everyone, that's fine too. Anything goes! No breaking of furniture or else Housewife Ayumu will get very angry. His room is also off-limits, and so his his spare bedroom. If anyone would like to notice his interior, there's practically two flower vases in each room, decorated with irises and lilies of the valley. There's also a keyboard somewhere in the living room. The instrument, not the gadget.
If anyone wants to play around with the idea of stirring up trouble, please assume that Ayumu will throw a slipper at any troublemaker's head.

I know of a few who I haven't been able to find again, yes. I am fairly sure that wherever they are, they're not easily reachable, or one would have sent word by now.
[They were all the sort to either be responsible or lonely enough to try, from what he could tell.]
Two ladies and two men, so it doesn't seem to have a pattern on that front.
no subject
There doesn't seem to be any pattern emerging at all... Not with time, place, or the type of people who disappear.
[Disheartening. Also really alarming.]
no subject
Perhaps there is some connection through how long the missing were here?
[It's just a guess, but maybe it could lead somewhere.]
no subject
[Which kind of makes sense, if looked at in a "it gives your code time to stabilize/adapt" light.]
no subject
It would make a distressing amount of sense, don't you think? The longer one is here, the more connections are made. By the time they are "settled", those who would notice their absence quickly would be much greater than when they first arrived.
[He crosses his arms, still frowning.]
Well, that is all assuming this is done purposefully by someone, but there is a possibility there.
no subject
No one's been able to prove that it isn't intentional, so I think we should keep all possibilities on the table until we can start narrowing things down. That makes sense, anyway - but it would be really hard to prove anything about.
no subject
You're quite right. It would be best to keep an open mind when it comes to any other possibilities, until we have something more to base our ideas on. Perhaps they are only leaving because of something we're not aware of.
no subject
Oz is content to sit in the plastic hat corner, either way. Sensible! Possible! Something that doesn't involve rioting! What more could a person ask for?]
I'm not sure if that's something we could fix easily, either. Becoming more aware of our situation would mean we'd need a lot more access to information and places and people than we do right now, and with the way CERES looks at us, I don't think just "earning" access will be possible.
no subject
True... If there is a problem, they may not tell us, in order to avoid inciting panic.
[Like he was talking to Oz about, last time the spoke.]
In any case, it seems as thought exploring the edges of the areas that we are already able to reach is the obvious first step.
no subject
It looks like a couple of people have already tried doing that. [Based on what snippets of conversation he's caught, that is.] But maybe adding more people to it will get us better answers. [...]
Or at least something with a little more clarity.
no subject
It sounds rather busy as it is, and someone of my stature would likely be underfoot.
[He glances at the crowd gathering around Yata. A rescue mission? No, thanks.]
But I am, as always, here to help sort through anything they may find along the way. It seems best to have a few of us for that duty, in the event one goes missing, like the others.
no subject
Anyway, he certainly isn't going to judge anyone for wanting to stay home and away from this mess. It's already looking like it'll be a sloppy mission, but Oz is too shonen to care...]
Right! The more people who we can rely on for things like that, the better. [Just in case.] So you have to make sure you stay safe, okay?
[There's some teasing in his tone that makes it sound light, but he's pretty genuinely worried about these weirdass disappearances...]
no subject
Oh, I will do my very best. As you've seen before, I would prefer to flee to live another day than fight a losing battle, and I would advise you to keep the same in mind.
[His tone is equally teasing-but-seriously about this. Don't get cute with him, Oz. This is supposed to go the opposite way, for a start!]
no subject
But that just has Oz laughing, because he's Oz and of course it does.]
I will! [He won't. He won't at all. That probably won't be a surprise when it eventually comes to pass though, considering Cynbel saw that he's pretty much the exact opposite when it comes to danger. If people have the potential of getting hurt, Oz is going to be There™, okay!!]
Let's hope we don't have to worry about things like that for at least a little longer, though.
