[The world has been saved, hopefully for the last time in a long time. The celebrations - and the mourning - have started, and in a lot of places are still continuing. But the victory isn't the only thing to celebrate - and with a lot of help, and a lot of favours, Laura and Lily have extended an invitation to the Chalice crew, past and present, to join them. If you were nearby, chances are the invitation was hand-delivered by a dutiful Servbot.]

1. The setup
[With the looming deadline of the closing portals, things move quickly! Invitations are sent, travel is arranged, a venue is prepared. What had been the White Chalice's Arboretum - now an open-air grove in what's set to become a lush forest - is the site of the ceremony itself, while the celebrations afterwards will take place in Gucun. There's a lot to be done to make ready. Are you helping, or seeking out one of the brides beforehand?]

2. The ceremony
[It's only fitting that Captain Smith should officiate. He's waiting at an arch set up by the flowerbeds of the Arboretum, where the happy couple met, where Laura's tended her memorial to her friends from before the Chalice and to those who've passed on since. Between the Kwan daughters, Epimetheus, and a brace of Servbots you shouldn't have any trouble finding your seat, even if Xue Yi is a little preoccupied ensuring Prometheus behaves. There's some time before the wedding party arrive, to talk amongst yourselves - or with some of the other guests present, who include Laura's overwhelmed-looking parents!]

3. The reception
[Of course, the real point of a wedding is the party afterwards! There's food, drink, and music - Miki pulled some strings, and Pit's showing how Skyworld does catering. After the recent battle, perhaps this is a chance to see some long-absent faces in more peaceful circumstances, or to say goodbye. Or are you just here for the embarrassing speeches?]

[This is a joint mingle post, open to dropped and retired characters as well! For all prompts, please specify whether it's Laura/Lily you want to talk reply, or others!]

no_wan_no_life

[Lan just finished receiving a message from her home planet of La Garite. And for once, she looks really happy.]

A miracle just happened. The flowers of Rin-ne changed trajectories of La Garite and De Metrio - the change is slight, but big enough so they won't impact each other. The solution to the problem came from a most unexpected direction.

Now we can focus on rebuilding relations between the two kingdoms. Brother is... in no condition to do anything like that at the moment. Someone has to take his place. So...

I'm afraid... this is goodbye.

I am sorry that I have to leave Earth behind while there are still so many problems that need to be fixed. But I will not be far away! If you ever need me for anything, I will return as fast as I can. And La Garite ships are really fast!

I promise.

[Lan is fidgeting a bit. Which is potentially dangerous for a clumsy person like her, since she's carrying tools like hammers and nails at the moment, not to mention a big sheet of rolled up paper.]

I know it may not be the most opportune moment, between an epic battle with anti-spiral forces that threatened to destroy all living beings, and Rock's recent... misadventures.

But our friends are going to depart from Earth really soon, and Madoka and others of the Jersey Club decided to prepare a small surprise before their departure. Would you be willing to help?

...

At least I think you may call them friends. It is somewhat complicated.

[The "we saved the world hooray and also good-bye for some people" party is all set up! We have balloons, big signs that go "thank you for everything", delicious food... and last but not the least, the three stooges for whom the party was for!]

"..."

[Kirius, Izo and Array stand in the middle of it all, surprised and speechless. Well, technically only Kirius and Array depart for De Metrio - Izo decided to stay on Earth to study cooking. But that means the three stooges are not only saying good-bye to White Chalice and Kamogawa, but also to each other!]

[Do you have anything to say, or do you wait and place bets on who starts to cry first?]

goddess_duet

[So, Palutena and Viridi haven't been seen as much in the last days. Whatever could they be plotting? Well, that's answered today, as the image of Palutena appears in several of the monitors around White Chalice]

Good morning everyone. Friendly neighbourhood goddess here with a little message.

Just get to the point already.

So, as you know, we just barely defeated Hades last time-

-you mean *I* barely defeated Hades last time-

-but he took out our only way to kill him for good. Which, as I'm sure you understand, is a big problem, since Viridi's seal is going to end up weakening at some point and then we're in big trouble. So Viridi and I have been thinking, and we have a plan.

Between the two of us, we can make a portal back into our world. I'm bringing Pit back here and taking him to see Dyntos.

For those watching at home and not paying attention, Dyntos is the God of Craftsmen. He made those Three Sacred Treasures Pit installed into Cherubot. Also, he's a cranky old shut-in.

That is a pretty disrespectful way to refer to the most powerful of the gods, Viridi.

But also a true one.

I can give you that. In any case, we are going to try and ask him to make Pit some new Sacred Treasures. Knowing him, it's unlikely to be that easy, though. But he enjoys making stuff, and Hades is a destroyer, so I think I can probably negotiate him into making us some things. It's worth a shot.

We'll probably start soon. Sooner the better, after all. If anyone wants to come with Pit, to help, it'd be welcome.

Who knows, you might get an upgrade! Or a laser to the butt. That's a possibility too.

[OOC: There'll probably be a log a few days from now with Pit meeting Dyntos, but that will only be to the ones who have chosen to go, obviously. People with any kind of CR who want to come help Pit whatever trials Dyntos has in store for him will be definitely welcome, and it could serve as an excuse for an upgrade if you are thinking of one. If there's no interest, I'll probably just offsceen it, though]

[[When is a Gundam no longer a Gundam?

When it's a Christmas Tree!

For a week the Gundam Spiegel has been in the hangar, but today, without warning, it's not a Gundam-sized Christmas tree... mostly red and yellow lights, but, HEY NEO-GERMANY after all!

And the star of the tree? When is a star not a star?

When it's (say it with me now, all together) Schwarz Bruder!

And here he comes leaping down from atop the tree! Carrying a sack of gifts. Is this why we haven't seen him since he mysteriously arrived last week?

[During the middle of the day Kurou suddenly appears on the comms looking extremely worried.]

Alright you guys, we might have a small problem. Al's bed disappeared and it might be walking around the ship. She's kicking me out of our room until I find it so I need some help.

[Wait what?]

[2]

[Completely unrelated to Kurou's problems, there seems to be a strange creature wandering the the Chalice. It's pretty small and looks like a completely normal orange slime. It approaches anything that looks remotely interesting and beings to prod it with a tentacle.]

Tekeli-Li?

saikyocivrobo

1. [As an aftermath of this meeting, now there's a greyish pineapple boucing around White Chalice on two stubby legs. Someone drew a "scary" toothy face on it with a marker since then. And it follows people, especially those who would react with the highest amount of WTF to it.]

2. Does anyone know how to remove curses? Prometheus seems to be having fun, but I need him in robot form if we suddenly have to fight.

[A short time after the latest mission, you might find a rather unusual sight walking the Chalice's corridors...]

So this is the cave you humans live in? Ugh. It's so ugly. How can you live with so little life around you? It's all metal and sharp corners.

I have no idea how Palutena stands it.

[Yup. It's Viridi. Wait, what the hell is Viridi doing here? The blonde goddess is just walking around with her staff like she owned the place. Want to intercept the former enemy?]

2

[It seems the tiny goddess has found the Arboretum, and is looking at it.]

Now THIS is more like it. An island of life in the middle of all that lifeless machinery.

[You might notice that as she walks, under her feet flowers sprout, withered plants turn green again, and even the grass grows taller and healthier] I guess there must be someone in this entire ship who doesn't have nails for brains. I'm going to rest here a bit. I have SUCH a headache.

[She then taps a tree, which bends down some branches and makes a soft place for her to lay down and have a little peace. Want to bother and/or share her place?]

[Warning note: Viridi has been enormously depowered by her stunt, so she's at about a tenth of her usual power. This means she's still about as powerful as Palutena, and a lot grumpier, because she's in a terrible mood today. Approach with care if you don't want to end up turned into a pumpkin for the rest of the day!]

lastfeather

[The Earth has been more or less locked down by the Ruina. However Ryou seems to be under stress from other matters as he's drinking down a bottle of wine with more haste than it deserves for something of that prize vintage.]

Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope.

[He's repeating the word more forcefully each time. Palutena? Matthew? Congratulations, you may have cause the Merc to lose it.]

(Backdated to before the mission.)

[In the usual bustle of White Chalice, somehow you managed to come across a diary-like thing.

It's full of poems, mostly really wannabe-romantic schmaltzy stuff, all of it written by an obvious amateur. Also a big part of it is addressed at the author's older brother.

Ha ha, what a joke! Who could write such a cheesy thing?]

[2]

Umm.

Did anyone see my poetry journal?

aesoprevived

-Grumblegrumblegrumble-

[With how the mission went, what with asses being kicked, people being saved, being reunited with her best friend and watching the jackass who torn up her dad's mech she'd be a little happier. Moreso since she didn't get her rear end handed to her again.]

Ow.. ow.. ow...

[Except you'd notice Mad has a few bruises and was trying to take the edge off a little with little success, only making herself hurt more.]

Figures Madoka would make it look easy... OW...

rolla_up

[[After Freaky Sunday]]

[1][Sort of immediate]
[So after the battle is settled the Turn A settles back into the hangar, only instead of your usual looking pirate Loran is a bit more...lady-like. He's not wearing a dress only because that would be kind of stupid to do for an outer space mission, however his hair is done up like so and he's wearing makeup.]

I guess I'm back.
Barely seems like I was gone at all.

[If anyone wants to talk to him now's a good time.]

[2][LONG after mission]
[Loran is not the only one who has met up with the White Chalice, there's also a sort of disruptive gathering and a smaller ship that's come with him. What's in it? Just a bunch of Militia men and maybe a handful of Mobile suits (couple Zakus, couple of Kapools, trash units sort of)

And Loran has his hands full running back and forth trying to keep the ones that decided to come aboard to poke around the Chalice from...poking around]

H-hey come on guys, this isn't a field trip!

[Among the generics are some fat guy, a dude that looks like Ulysses S Grant, a dark skinned guy, three or four girls, and Guin Lineford is probably being a dick and asking about mobile suits capabilities as if he really needs to know.]

armored_mother

[1]

[Cora and the others came back... but their return was not a happy one. A member of the team was going back to Britannia... and not in the way one would hope. The transport to take the remains of Joanne Royston - 'Sleuth' - the Dullahan Team's scout to be interred in Britannian soil - with her biological parents. Its funny... the Roystons' terrible parenting ended up pushing Joanne into a life like the one her real parents led... then...]

You really deserved better than this.

[Cora shook her head, her hand pressed to the top of the coffin that had the flag of the motherland draped over it as the machinery in her replacement whined as it formed a fist. She let out a held breath.]

Brett's taken it pretty hard believe it or not... guess you rated higher than Mal in his eyes. Lewis's being himself - tinkering with his bombs for the next run... he's probably going to get your name written on it somewhere - give you a chance to bring more of those Filios berks down.... Eliott is trying to play it off - He'd lose even more with the crap poker face he has now, George's filling in for me in getting the reports through... and Isaac's just moping. Annette doesn't know just yet... but... it probably won't be pretty...

[Codenames, it felt a little bad to wear those 'masks' in front of a dead person.]

Never figured it'd be you next... maybe you were a little quick to run ahead, but you always managed to luck out... I guess maybe... our luck's running dry then huh? I'm probably just talking out of my ass here... heh... just rest easy Jo... Mama Bear's going to take care of the rest. Keep a chair warm for me at the bar up there alright?

[Cora slowly turns to look at you.]

Hey...

[2] [Arrival of the Britannian Transport]

( OH SNAP! COMMANDER ON DECK! )

[2a] [Some time during the meeting with Ulysses] [Keep it to a single set of tags.]

( Why weren't warning signs left on them?! )

not_the_deer

Shit! A 10 km long stealth battleship? I didn't know Kairos Aspida has such things! We survived only because that condescending jerk didn't want to kill us... How did you manage to fight these guys before?

We can't just attack that head-on. We must create a plan of some sort. Or else Kairos Aspida will turn this world into a tyranny, like their future! And I don't think they even see they're creating a tyranny...

And what's the deal with Petar and Kamen Rider OOO? What the heck...

bluehippopotamus

1.*Rock is watching the fortress island from White Chalice's deck/showcasing it to someone. The whole island is a huge tall fortress, with gun emplacement bristling everywhere, and a whole city inside the fortress.*

Ah, Nino Island. How nostalgic! This is the headquarter of the Digger's Guild you know, I took my digger license here! I heard Grandpa Barrell used to live here too! Thank god it's still in one piece.

2.*Rock is prepping the second key for safekeeping. Apparently, it floats inside some sort of protective glass tube now. It stands in the middle a desk full of some papers and pictures of other artifacts, ruins, and different-yet-similar-looking robots. Some other artifacts litters the area around the desk*

Look at how beautiful this artifact is! And look at the styling, the carvings, it's so distinctive. It's obvious that it's part of the same ancient civilization that made these ruins and the reaverbots.

And of course... the legacy of the ancients... the great inheritance. The Motherlode.

3.*Rock is standing with a mop and an apron with a satisfied face.*

Ah, how relaxing. With all the things that happened, we didn't have a lot of time to spend to clean things, right? I hope that helped.

*But what did he clean up? Might it be the whole deck? Might it be your room? Your laboratory? Your mech? Did he ever ask permission for that?"

no_wan_no_life

[Backdated to before Raynor's mission.]

[Lan sets up a chair somewhere in the common area - she has a desk prepared as well. What is going on?]

Umm. I have an announcement to make.

[She opens a folded piece of paper.]

The only official White Chalice Bar (owner: Herb Montgomery) is announcing a scary story contest. The one to come up with a most terrifying story will receive a prize. The main judge was decided to be Fin E Ld Si Laffinty, that is myself. Though others are welcome to join and participate in the judging process as well.

So, umm. If you have a scary story to tell, I need to listen to it.

kamogawa_maru

1. [Locked to Wan and Apples, backdated to just after the last RNL Log]

[After watching her best friends disappear after their fight Madoka is a bit shaken. Still, she had to find them and figure out exactly why they were fighting. But first she needed to return to the clubroom to take a small break, swimming from Pharos to Kamogawa was a bit tiring.]

2. [Slightly backdated to just after the Chalice leaves Kamogawa.]

[With Midori back in action the Jersey Club has returned to the White Chalice. ]

Hi everyone! So uh...

[Madoka looks down for a moment, it looks like she's reading something.]

With both De Metrio and Le Garite wanting the Voxes, Pharos has decided that the most logical course of action is to keep both the pilots and the Voxes themselves on the White Chalice.

So yeah that! We'll be moving back into our White Chalice clubroom. I hope we'll get along with everyone.

[Lan and Muginami are also with her, so whatever the problem was Madoka apparently fixed it.]

((Feel free to tag any of the three but be prepared for thread jacking.))

whats_a_paladin

[1 - very late post-Crossbuster/HP prompt!]
Oishi and R... Identity is something that very few people think consciously about often, but it's such an important aspect of yourself as a person. Trying to impose it on someone else is... Just not right.

It's a pity Oishi and Takeda ran away, but we will meet again. We'll convince the former, and punish the latter. Though I wonder... Will those strangely human-like mecha women show up again...?

[2] [Raynor is training with Paragon's various forms on White Chalice's deck.]
Hmm... Fighter, Mage and Bard. Paladin, Druid and Tinker. Ranger. All of those forms have their concrete uses.

But Shepherd is different. Embodying the virtue of Humility, it lacks any special abilities, and has only the specs of the baseline form, an old and barely functional GM. Is there any purpose to this form other than an ideological one...?

[3] [Raynor is looking at a flier. It's an advertisement for Kamogawa Sea World, filled with all kinds of marine animals. There seems to be a glint in his eye.]
Hmm... I don't think I've ever seen a killer whale with my own eyes before...

[Sunny Kamogawa, a place where tourism is blooming even during these hard times. Someone approaches Madoka's uncle's cafe. Someone really familiar.]

gurrenbrigbonded

[Post-dated to 'Teopan' mission.]

[1]

On the general comm channel, Matthew suddenly pops up on live video, standing in front of a bulkhead, hands clasped behind his back like some kind of statesmen.

"My fellow comrades of the White Chalice! We have persevered through toil, loss, and danger, fighting bitter, powerful foes to both life and the earth itself. And we have triumphed over them!"

He fixes the hypothetical viewer with a Serious Glance!™

"However! All the evidence we have–including a few prophetic visions–hints at far greater battles to come, struggles that shall test the limits of our minds, bodies, and spirits! Therefore, to strengthen ourselves for the future, I propose we gather together in the spirit of camaraderie–"

He swivels the camera about to reveal the gym he's standing in: weights, practice weapons, and a table with snacks and water bottles are arranged around each other. A simple red banner with no adornments (or inspirational platitudes) hangs from the ceiling.

"–for a Group Training Festival!" He declares, clenching a fist.

[2] (Open to Everything)

Matthew stands by to greet all attendees to his half-baked 'Training Festival', hands resting on a bokken cane-style, grinning eerily.

"Welcome comrades, to this gathering of training! Do you wish to hone your body, your mind, or your aptitude at teamwork?"

[3]

[Do you have a nice montage scene in your head? Then put it here, along with any snazzy music you like!]

no_wan_no_life

I'm back at White Chalice... I didn't expect to be here again, not so soon.

Everyone - thank you for having me again, if only for a short while. I need to reach Madoka - I mean, Kamogawa, at the earliest opportunity. It is something really important.

Muginami... why did you have to support for De Metrio and become our enemy once more?

[Following the re-introduction, Lan will explore and look at familiar places around White Chalice.]

no_wan_no_life

[1]

[Under the fleet of alien (but friendly, surprisingly enough) ships floating in the sky, two girls reunite on the beach for one last time. Soon enough, one of them would depart this planet forever - but before that happens, the two had a shared confession to make.]

"The truth is... I love you."

"And I... always, loved you too..."

[The two hold hands and kiss gently. And then!]

"Cut! That take was perfect! This finishes the filming - our newest student movie, Lily and the Spaceship, should be a great success!"

[Yup, Madoka's school is shooting a movie, and the Jersey Club is helping. That's all that happened here. Trololo.]

[2]

[For real this time. The La Garite fleet departs in a few days after their appearance - and they're taking Lan with them.]

Everyone. I suppose this is the time to say good-bye.

It has been a pleasure to meet you all.

armored_runaway

[[Chaos has broken out in the hangar, and said chaos might've had an accomplice too!

With the proximity of holidays, someone's gone and painted pink and white eggs on most all of the machines in the hangar. Then again, the ones that were avoided were obvious, as those could've been a death sentence having been touched. (Zeon officers, Wing Gundam, many of the CB units, EVAs, and anything else that might've been under personal guard so she can't get close to paint them up.

But that's the thing... she surely would've been caught or... Maybe you've deduced that someone new on board, that obviously looks to have some sort of unrefined background, would've done something.

Cuz this kid already learned to knock that off years ago. ]]

no_wan_no_life

Uuh...

[Lan is in despair. Not only did her brilliant plan to stop people from taking Madoka's Midori away failed, but there was also that sudden revelation courtesy of a certain Devil Loli.]

The wan is a lie.
The wan is a lie. Sniff...

[She can only repeat this like a mantra, wandering around the halls in a half hazed state, clutching a bottle of energy drink like a drunkard holds his precious hooch.

It is as comical as it is pathetic, so unlike her usual stoic and compose okay I cannot end that sentence with a straight face.]

kamogawa_maru

[Almost immediately after Asteria made her announcement the Novumundus staff already began sealing up Vox Aura. What Asteria didn't mention was that they were also going to take the Vox back to Pharos. To make sure that Madoka didn't just disobey orders and launch with it as she most likely would have done.

Madoka herself is watching them, a mix of sadness and anger on her face. It wasn't a common expression she had. ]

no_wan_no_life

[There are only hours until the day ends and a certain misinformed individual still has no present! But that's not enough to stop anyone, right? Time for a montage.]

Watch me, Madoka. This is all for you.

[1]
[At the Arboretum, Lan carries a huge pail and waters a suspiciously fresh patch of soil vigorously. Then, she stares at it as if expecting something to spring out any moment.]

[2]
Ow.
Ow.
Ow.
[Trying to sew something together. Was it supposed to be an orca? A penguin perhaps? Well, for now it's a black-and-white rag with odd and random stitching. And Lan's fingers are bleeding from being constantly pricked by sewing needles.]

[3]
Eeeek!
[A kitchen explosion! Don't worry, there are no casualties - just a certain alien princess is all covered up in dough and something that's technically chocolate now.]

[4 - giving up, locked mostly to a certain Maru]

Madoka....

[Lan looks miserable and ragged. Just what she was up to today?]

zaku_for_xmas

1.) [Obsessive desk camper]
* Door is open; Bernie is in his room, sitting hunched over with a pen and paper. What in the world was he doing?

"Dear Chris, I...er, no. UGH!" *And a ball of crumpled paper is tossed into the trash. He groans, and leaned his head onto his hand. He wondered over and over what to do before Valentines came. A gift for one or a gift for everybody? Bernie takes in a breath*

"No matter what happens, no matter what Axis does, no matter what the Federation thinks..." He pauses, We can still be friends..

2.) [On the Deck!]
"Hey!"

* On the Chalice deck, maybe you can chance sitting next to Bernie. He raises a big question...*

"Is there...is there someone here that you like?"

not_the_deer

[Hey look, the G-Saviour is back in the hangar! Complete with Tobia.]

I'm just here for resupply. Tron and her brothers are free again, so I need to return to Mother Vanguard very soon!

But oh boy, I heard what happened on Earth since I left. It's only been a few weeks, and stuff got really crazy already! What's next, an enemy bigger than Earth?

zaku_for_xmas

[1. What I got! ]

Wiseman went missing momentarily.

Bernie hasn't seen battle in a while. He kept up wuth his Gaza's maintenance, and made sure no know treated the Zaku units like mannequins or the like. This time, when he was off duty, he left the ship and came back with a couple of interesting things. He wandered towards the deck, his favorite spot.

Looks like Bernie was on board with the comics and the gaming.

[2. Around the halls... ]

If anyone was walking through the Chalice halls, and turned a corner, they would meet up with this.

"BOOOO!" Then, there was a laugh, and Bernie pulled off the mask. What in the cosmos did he buy?

no_wan_no_life

Nyaa. Nyaa to everyyoneee...

[Looking happy but kinda unsteady there, Lan. Looks like someone overdid New Year's champagne.]

Sh... should the world spin on New Year's like this?

can_not_fly

[The large Christmas tree that has been set in the Chalice is looking wonderful. Tinsel and lights and motes of what looks like snow (yes, inside a closed room) dancing around. It shines brightly with lights and cheer...

...and there's a voice coming from the top of the tree]

This is SO boring.
Now, Pit, no complaining! [Palutena answers happily. She's at the bottom of the tree, putting some finishing touches on some glowing balls of light]
Yes, Lady Palutena...

[And looking up, on the top of the tree, there's, as is traditional, an angel. The thing is that this angel is not the usual glitter figure, but a real angel tied to the tree and making a T_T face]

How long do I have to stay here, again?
A couple days should do, I think.
A COUPLE DAYS?! Are you CRAZY?!
O ye of little faith. Do you think I'm doing this without a good reason?
N-no! I just...!
Good, then! [Palutena's voice is cheerful, but leaves no room for argument] Try to be cheery and festive while you're up there, will you? Come on, you've stood guard for longer than that! Flutter your wings a bit, ring your bell!
Yes, Lady Palutena...[And cue half-hearted fluttering. All the T_T]

[Are you going to comment on the... peculiar decoration? You can come during the conversation, or just see Pit alone up there later. He's going to be there until around New Year's Eve, the poor thing.]

kamogawa_maru

[To the shock of absolutely no one Madoka is full of Christmas Spirit. In fact she has somehow obtained a Santa outfit and is parading around the ship humming Christmas carols while completing her usual Jersey Club duties. Following Kincaid's example she was now trying to decorate the entire ship. Not leaving a single inch untouched.]

[Help her out? Ask where she found a Santa outfit in the middle of the Mediterranean?]

kamen_rider_psx

[Despite the mood around the Chalice concerning the recent mission, there's someone here in the mood of the season going on right now!]

Christmas KITAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

[And, no matter where you are right now, there's Gentarou, suited up as Kamen Rider Fourze... and he painted the suit red and green! He's certainly no Gokai Christmas, but it's the thought that counts, right? Kengo's gonna kill him once he finds out. IF he finds out.]

Hey, c'mon! It's December and that means Christmas time! And I'm going to be helping with spreading the cheer around here!

[Doesn't matter where you are - the hangar, the infirmary, wherever - he's going to show up and deliver a lot of joy. Like it or not.]

gurrenbrigbonded

[1]

For several weeks, after the Chalice's latest battle with Jade Falcon, the presence of gusto-filled Clan Wolf warriors have been supplemented by gusto-filled Jade Falcon Bondsman, walking around and performing various odd jobs and services with an intensity that's strangely impressive. You can mark them out by their old green uniforms and the bondcords worn on their wrists, marked out with Clan Wolf in Exile Colors.

One of these bondsmen, whom you've noticed in the background from time to time, instead of the standard woven cord, has a ragged strip of red cloth tied tightly around his wrist. When spoken to, he's been....Curt. Yes, Curt is the way to describe it.

That one particular aforementioned Bondsmen has just made an appearance on the comms, clearly fiddling with the setting as he does so.

"This...this is the ship's communication system, Aff?"

[2]

The Doom of All Fate! Ceiling Breaking Warlord, Formidable Demon Leader Kamina!

That one bondsman dude of yours is stalking you again. Wait...there! There he is now behind you, leaning against a wall, glaring at you with a grumpy-face! Didn't you already straighten him out?

[3]

The bondsman with the bright red wristband is squatting on a crate in his downtime, staring at Clan's Wolf 'Isorla' pile. Specifically, he's staring at this little beauty:

http://www.sarna.net/wiki/Nova_(Black_Hawk)

It's a bit beaten up, but intact.

Shall someone poke him?

no_wan_no_life

[Due to a certain holiday coming right up, some decorations start appearing around the Chalice. And a certain Vox pilot is absolutely terrified of all the pumpkins and ghosts on strings.]

Aah! Th... this is too realistic for me!

[Lan will proceed to lock herself in her room and refuse to get out.]

can_not_fly

[So thanks to a certain aspiring scientist, Pit has discovered the magic of... videogames! (Insert dramatic sound here). It's not hard to guess he's going to take to them like a fish to water...

1

[...so some time later you might find him in a corridor, talking loudly to a portable console]

...come on, Snuggles! sit! Sit! No, wait! I have treats! [The virtual pet, instead, decides to go away. Pit slumps his shoulders] Awww...
I guess pets really aren't your thing?
[Pit hangs his head even lower for a bit before shaking it and turning the console off, and putting in another game.]
Bah, whatever, that game was stupid and I didn't really want to play it anyway!
Suuuuure...
[He looks over the borrowed games] Let's see what else is here...

[Some time later, if you happen to pass by Pit's room, you'll find the door is open, and that he's managed to get ahold of an old console and connected it to the TV, and is playing it enthusiastically. More interesting, however, is that he's not playing alone - there's a beautiful, unknown greenhaired woman in a white dress holding the second controller.

And, from the sounds coming out of the room, apparently schooling his ass into next week.]

Oh come ON! You're totally watching my side of the screen! How did you even know I was there?
Oh, don't be a sore loser, Pit. It's just a game. [Her smile, however, expresses her satisfaction at winning pretty visibly]

[With the recent events upon the ship, a miasma of loom and doom has settled around several members of the crew.]

Wheeee. Flying.

-Chirp! Chirrup!-

[Except a certain cat either didn't get the message or would not 'stand' for it. In fact he was hovering off the ground! How you ask? He was sitting upon a certain Metroid belonging to their mutual Acquaintance and bounty hunter extraordinaire Samus Aran.]

Hello!

[Being able to speak to people face to face certainly was an experience for this kitty - moreso since he was sitting upon the Metroid like a Feline Overlord upon a living hoverchair with an adorably squeaky wheel.]

[Thankfully Lily was not present - otherwise her cuteness meters would have overloaded and shut her down for hours.]

1.) [In the White Chalice]
Bernie could be seen polishing his green Gaza in MS mode. During his time in the Chalice, not only has Bernie been polishing, but also testing out simulations. He's still quite impressed by the Gaza's transformation ability.

Still, he carried a flame for his old buddy the Zaku II, and couldn't leave it unattended. He cleaned it as well, maybe more earnestly!

"I wonder if I should drive you again."

2.) [In Chartertown]
Bernie was in a comic store! One thing those graphic novels always had were captivating covers. The Zeon pilot picked up one that looked action packed. He looked surprised.

3.) [Filtered from Haman and Char]
"Um...you guys? To you..what does the word 'family' mean to you?"

[With Kamille getting off of the Chalice Ichitaka finally found an excuse to finally move out and find himself a new room. There was only one small problem.]

Huh...where I can move into...

[Anyone that spotted him would find him sitting on a pile of boxes, deep in thought about the situation.]

[After slowly accepting that she could be both a girl and a hero, Mad was slowly coming to grips with her feminity. Sure she would still flinch at the sight of the PreDesu's Holographic AIs but she was getting better... more or less. Such as it was she decided to try her hand at the things she decried as 'girly'... however: ]

[[MarKus had forgotten a lesson he'd learned a while back, while playing with his most recently acquired Rider toy (The ZaBee Zector).

What he HAD been doing was putting his Rider powers to use productively, making Undead do some of his heavier workload for him. So what we have here is MarKus, mostly decked out as Leangle (sans helmet) and one heck of an unthreatening kaijin

MarKus is so casually walking down the halls with him too. Wait... a Rider and kaijin... a TAME kaijin... this might explain something that happened back at Kamogawa's beaches too!

But once he gets to his room, he's safe... But a certain President is NOT!]]

Wan. My name is Fin E Ld Si Laffinty. We are going to work together, so I believe you need an explanation on what just happened.

The enemies that attacked Pharos facility... that is, the ones we expected to attack...

[Lan still feels embarassed about losing her cool at the sight of eeeevil demons.]

... Come from the nation of De Metrio. They want to destroy or capture the three Vox Ovids, and use them in their war against La Garite. Moid and I originate from La Garite, and we are cooperating with the Earth's government - or what is left of it, via the organisation of Novumundus.

De Metrio, La Garite and many others are nations on other planets, established by people who left the Earth thousands of years ago. You may call us aliens.
