So it seems that Kallen has gone home. A pity -- though she may return at some point; no one seems to stay away for long.

Forgive me for not being as social as usual, City. There were some ... complications.

[Crackling static for about thirty seconds, then yelled:]

--I don't have a reason to live anymore!

[A long, long pause. Heavy breathing, a curse under his breath.]

...Rolo -- you--

[There's a rustling, like wind in the leaves. A thump, like a fist hitting stone. Shaky breathing, and then he cuts off the transmission abruptly.]


[ooc; YES. Lelouch is finally back, pulled from during his rescue in Turn 19. He is in the graveyard, and currently is disoriented and really has no clue that he's back in the City. Yes, he thinks he's died, and is a bit on the crazy side right now. He will answer audio responses to the post and a comment log for C.C., perhaps?]

Tianzi ... thank you for helping me to take care of that ... business. I am feeling ... more capable of thinking straight at this point. I'm now prepared to join in the ... hunt, if I may call it that.

Perhaps our efforts would have the most effect if you, Prince Schniezel and I worked together in order to facilitate the judicial process. As a diplomatic team, we would be an extremely powerful force to be reckoned with.

Tell me, City, what does it take to get a proper trial held for a murder?

( [filtered to Byakuran // unhackable.] )

Whenever possible, I would like to meet with a lawyer or judge or even the police force in order to--

[--and the post deteriorates abruptly into static.]

[ooc; Lelouch has gone home, folks. For that reason, he will not be answering any replies, but feel free to freak out at him. He'll have left his communicator on the floor of his room, and money for C.C.'s pizza, lulz.

When he returns, he will be back straight from Turn 19!

I will not be leaving until tomorrow Morning, so if any trial plotting occurs, please try and ping me before I leave. 8D]

....Suzaku, Euphie--

--It's all my fault, I should have ... if I hadn't...

Forgive me.

Eclair ... I'm sorry. We'll have to postpone our lunch date, I'm afraid. Things have...

Come up.

( [ filtered to Byakuran, unhackable. ] )

Brother, I .... failed.

Byakuran.

You will pay.

[ooc; regarding this. Strikes there if you are a srsly amazing hacker, and the only one who can see them without hacking is Schniezel.]

There's ... a mountain where there shouldn't be one.

How confusing this city can be.

( [ filtered to Suzaku ] )

...It appears I may need a job that offers more money than gambling on chess.

Who is hiring, I wonder?

[ooc; aaand for people unfamiliar with what's going on, Lelouch is taking Suzaku ~*~GIRLFRIEND SHOPPING~*~ in order to set up his and Euphie's subsequent murders. :|]

...Tianzi.

Have you returned to normal? We need to talk.

( [Filtered to Rolo & C.C. // unhackable.] )

Suzaku, Princess Euphemia? Your rooms are prepared, if you're still interested.

( [Filtered to Schniezel // unhackable.] )

Kallen's gone ... it seems no one stays for long in this place, do they?

( [ filtered to Rolo & C.C. // unhackable. ] )

( [ ZERO // filtered to Chrome Dokuro // audio ] )

[ooc; Comment log for Rolo & C.C. plz, if possible? Zero is, as usual, on a separate proxy and cannot be traced.]

--That ... curse.

What on earth was that? As if someone like me would be royalty, of all things.

Shirley, Kaoru -- I'm sorry for not remembering you. That must have been...

I'm sorry.

( [ filtered to Euphie // viewable to C.C. ] )

( [ filtered to Rolo ] )

Ah! Suzaku? Your room is still empty from when you last left it. Would you come and live with us again?

This --

It doesn't look very much like Japan, does it? It's much different than the pictures suggested.

Euphie, did the envoy take a wrong turn?

[An imperious, ringing voice comes after a short pause.]

Prime Minister Kururugi! In the name of Lelouch vi Britannia, I demand to know why there is such a difference between your ... information and this city.

[Muttering:] And our father deems his son fit as a marriage partner for you, dear sister?

I think not.

[ooc; ...Yup. So, after his mother's death, Lelouch made the decision to be a coward and not confront the emperor and instead keep all his anger bottled up. Thus, he never left Britannia, is still in line for the crown, has never met Suzaku, is still slightly infatuated with Euphie, is now trying to change things from the inside of the Britannian government, never got a geass, and, uh. Yeah. SHIRLEY AND ROLO AND CO, FEEL FREE TO BE LIKE "LOLWUT"]

Rolo is gone. Such a relief pity. It's best that he's gone. I was beginning to--

It's just you and me, now, Madeline. Do you think we ought to advertise for flatmates?

Ah -- and Byakuran's vanished, too. How strange, that everyone's leaving so suddenly.

Kid, I hope the curse yesterday wasn't too traumatising. You seemed ... quite unlike your calm, collected self. Please thank your housemates for me. They were rather understanding, given the circumstances.

( [ filtered to C.C. ] )

[ooc; Strikes unhackable. C.C. can read them with effort.]

[Screen comes on, showing Lelouch in a bed, half under the covers, fully clothed. He dictates, surprisingly wide-awake, even though it's obvious he's just woken.]

Those curses-- [A sigh.] Well. There could have been worse ways to return here. Kallen came during the Naked Curse, after all, didn't she?

...That reminds me, Madeline, let's try something other than pizza ton--

[He stops speaking abruptly, having noticed something strange about the bedsheets -- they're a different colour, a different pattern...

He turns his head, tries to move his hand, and a glint of silver shows on his wrist. His mouth downturns from its wry smile, makes a surprised 'o' shape, and then just as quickly he shuts his eyes, heaving another heavy, heavy sigh of resignation.]

Kid, when I said we should get together sometime, I didn't mean it like this.

Well.

We'll manage, I suppose.

[ooc; Yup, Lelouch is handcuffed to Kid, making the epic duo of KIDOUUUUCHE. Comment log for those two, possibly?]

Honey, I'm home!

Sorry to have kept you waiting; What was for dinner?

...If it's pizza again, I'll make my own meal.

[ooc; Lelouch is back home from a canon update. He was updated just after speaking to Orange, and thus still is unaware of Shirley's ... er ... circumstances.

Currently, he's affected by the curse and is (amazingly) the sane one in his family of bangingthepizzadeliveryboy!wife C.C. and split-personalities!son Rolo. He remembers everyone in the City and will simply look at people funny if they try to convince him he's NOT married/a father. For family, action logs, voice posts, or regular comments are fine. For everyone else, comments or voice posts only please <3]

[His voice echoes, like he's in a bathroom.]

It looks like the snow is starting to melt.

Now what will happen to all the winter clothing we've bought?

Ah ... Tianzi? How did that deal go?

( [ PRIVATE FILTER, unhackable ] )

...Ah, as an addendum. Edmund?

Let's play again, sometime -- if you're up for it.

[ooc; strikes are fairly unintelligible, but can be understood, and they are referring to this.

No one can hear the private filter except for C.C., who would possibly be in the vicinity, hearing him dictate it.

EDITED to include something that I meant to include last night. >.> Whoops.]

Ah, the elusive Kallen Stadtfeld is here.

Just a few more people and we'll have the whole student council, won't we, Shirley?

( [private to Kallen, viewable to Rolo and C.C. as well ] )


--Ah. It appears to be snowing. In ... mid-July.

It will be cold on the floor.

[ooc; ...Strikes are viewable to C.C. only. A comment log would be best for Kallen, everyone else, regular network posts are perfect.]

[ His voice is faint, echoing. He's in a bathroom, door shut, so his voice is muffled.]

....Where are all of my clothes?!

Rolo, Madeline! There had better be a very good reason for this.

Bring me a towel, immediately!

[ooc; action log or voice post plz.]

LADIES AND GENTLEMAN!

The Host Club is open for business. We are here to entertain you.

Might anybody enjoy an intellectual discussion? A game of chess? A quiet and relaxing dinner or a nice cup of tea? Look no further, for what you desire is what I desire.

I, Lelouch Lamperouge, am humbly offering my talents and services for you.

[ooc; The other post has a lot of information about the Host Club for the day; you can find it linked above. LI AND LELOUCH MAY ACT A LITTLE GAY. BUT THAT'S JUST AN ACT, REALLY.

Lelouch is the charming, intellectual but weak leader type, for those of you who may not know; every quality is going to be totally exaggerated. |D ]

....I shouldn't have been so cocky.

I'll get it right next time, Kaoru, Hikaru.

C.C.... Ah, Madeline -- it looks like you won't be getting any more pizza for a while.

( [filtered to Rolo, C.C.] )

[ooc; Lelouch stupidly decided to bet money that he could tell Kaoru and Hikaru apart. Due to his not knowing Hikaru well at all, and ... not realising that they were EXACTLY IDENTICAL, he lost two greens, meaning he's starting to run very, very low on cash. >: Sry C.C.

Also, so people like Gino don't recognise her by name, Lelouch will be calling C.C. "Madeline" in public posts from now on.]

Ah ... Kid, if you'd like a place to lie low for a bit until the ... makeover madness dies down, you're welcome here.

( Private to C.C. and Rolo; unhackable )

So, it's about time I did an ooc post. With the huge influx of CG characters that Lelouch has to keep up with -- and the influx of CG characters who need to keep up with him -- I feel it's necessary for me to do a few things.

( So let's start with Zero: )

...Now for another important point. As Lelouch's mun, I'm having a hard time remembering everything that has happened in canon as well as what has happened in the game. So to help me along, I have a chart. Everybody in the CG cast should fill this out (Please, it will facilitate plotting), as well as anyone NOT in the CG cast who is particularly close to Lelouch or who has been geassed by him or Rolo before. If something changes, either you or I can fix it.

( Please comment to THIS POST with the following: )

So.

It seems Rolo's left. That's a shame.
