❧ Off-Season 2
[For a long time now, he has remained silent, moving quietly from place to place, and observing. Always observing. He is the one who watches the watchers and knows, somehow, when things do not go the way he wishes them to. And he has gotten angry many times in the past, oh yes, but has yet to raise his voice even once. He doesn't need to. His associates' guilt and fear of him has kept them in check for a long time, but after too many disappointments and loss, he has no choice but to do everything himself. As he should have done from the beginning.]
[His presence, however, has not gone unnoticed. The other has been careful to mask its own presence, but has been hasty in past months. Then again, who else could break what he has created? This added difficulty has made him cautious and slow to make repairs, but now...he's almost ready. A test is what he needs now. He smiles, awaiting their reactions, and using a system he helped create, he sends two lines of text to those whose lives he can still touch, even from afar...]
[So, no matter where you are or what you are doing, a familiar device will chime. Perhaps you didn't even know you had such a thing on you, but for some reason, kept it on you at all times. Or you might be one of the lucky few to retain ready access to your memories in exchange for not being able to return home yet. Nevertheless, everyone with a CAT receives the same message at the same instant across the various worlds and universes:]
Soon, you will be returned to me. You will not escape again.
[The text remains on the CAT's screen before it saves itself to the device's text directory and replaces the top screen with the Town of Luministi directory, a list of familiar names and pictures suddenly displayed before you. What will you do now?]

- And so, we meet...well, perhaps some of you know who this might be, or might have an inkling--or might have no clue at all. You will be seeing more of him in the future and in the proper season, so think of this as his way of saying, "Hello!" Which is fitting since we're saying "hello" to Dreamwidth!Luministi! I hope everyone is settling in okay. It's gonna feel a bit weird for a bit, but hopefully, things will feel right again soon~ (And if anyone needs help with things like layouts and stuff, I can see what I can dig up.)
But like the cut text said, this is open to all game members. Anyone who is still on the taken list can participate. Those who weren't active in the end, we'll say you went home at the end and kept the CAT (more end-game information from the second season can be found here.) Also, I...was a silly thing and through weird and stupid circumstances, managed to make the previous Off-Season entry disappear from the listing, BUT! It still exists! Just...not in the normal list for some really weird reason. It can be found here, and lays out Nathan's plans and what the others will be doing. (And provides a snapshot of the universe surrounding the Luministi Labs.) Hopefully my mistake can be fixed...
Anyway, in this open post, most of you won't be able to do in-person threads with each other (unless you're in the two teams doing off-world stuff), but the video, audio, and text functions all work perfectly, so you can communicate with anyone and ask what the hell is going on, etc.
Oh...and two more things. For those who went home, as of now, you have full access to your memories of Luministi at any time, dreaming or awake. How your character deals with the sudden set of memories (or confirmation that hey, those dreams were a little too vivid) is up to you. Also, the CATs will only be able to connect for a "day" to those in other worlds--but don't think this entry is only open for a literal day; I only mean ICly, in-game terms.
Let's see what else... Oh, keep an eye on the OOC comm for more updates regarding things I will need from you all to update the mod journal (I still have quite a bit of work to do updating all links/coding and such), as well as the dates of the open 4th wall event in March. I haven't quite settled on one yet, but I expect it'll be at least a month before I open apps/reserves in April.
In the meantime, have fun! And if you have any questions, you know how to reach me~ ♥

Mm-mm. I'm home! Where are you? [He leeeans closer to his own CAT, trying to see where she is.] Is that your home?
no subject
[even Natsuo probably can't see any more than a clean floor and a bit of a hearth, a crackly voice calls from behind Sophie:] Who are you talking to?
[hastily] Not now, Calcifer!
no subject
[His ears perk up a bit at the sound of someone else's voice.]
Neeeeh, who's Calcifer?
no subject
He's our fire demon. [she glances behind her, probably giving Calcifer a firm look because he doesn't say anything else--yet]
no subject
Fire demon? [That gets his interest! He starts trying to look past Sophie! (Which doesn't work, of course, but whatever~)] Wow!
no subject
[Calcifer is also trying to peer around Sophie, and Natsuo might see bits of blue fire with green flames on top and orange flames seemingly making eyes]
Yes, he keeps the castle together, but that doesn't matter right now. Did you receive a message on your CAT?
no subject
But at the question, he turns his attention back to her.] Mhm. Are we really going back?

... Sophie, I don't think I want to go back.
no subject
No, neither do I. But we'll find a way to stop them--we always have before.
no subject
Yeah. You're right. They shouldn't be able to keep doing this, so we'll stop it.
no subject
[but Sophie is cut off abruptly as a door slams open elsewhere in the room, and the CAT picks up the sound of a man shouting angrily--in Welsh. in this case, the CAT doesn't bother to translate the words (probably censoring them due to Natsuo's age), but the man's tone of voice is telling enough. then he cries:] Calcifer!
[green flames flare up behind Sophie] I see it, too. About half a day away, and coming fast.
[Sophie's eyes widen, and she turns away from the CAT] What is it? [but after seeing the look on Howl's face, she turns back and hisses to Natsuo:] I'm sorry. We'll talk later! [and as the Welshman starts to speak again behind her, she reaches out and shuts off the CAT]
no subject
[But she's already gone. He takes a few seconds to just stare at the CAT, frowning... and honestly, actually a little worried. (This is worry, right? Is that what it feels like?) Then shakes his head and puts the thing away, turning to rejoin Youji. They have things to do too, after all. And Sophie will be okay. Right?]
