[If you're traveling through the Nexus today, chances are you'll see a message popping up on different computers linked to a global Nexus forum. Some people don't have the luxury of being able to reach the Nexus proper, but that doesn't mean their voices go unheard. The message seems to be translated from Japanese to a universal Nexus language, and smart hackers might be able to trace the message back to an internet cafe in Japan no less.]

...is this thing working?
...what is a nexus forum? is this website some sort of joke? it says to ask a question, but i doubt anyone will ever see it...the internet isn't even supposed to be on anymore.
...can anyone even read this?

no wories :D
[Being told one thing and shown another can definitely be helpful. Tatsuya has nowhere to go either way, and seems content with sitting down in a worn-out chair. His location, hiding out in a corner booth at W Slash, hovering over the old Mac computer like it's a lost treasure. It really is something special when the entire city of Sumaru is losing power and resources daily.]
[The video comes in a few minutes later, followed by a message from...Officer Boyscout? Tatsuya can't help but laugh at the name, but his interest is piqued in the video attachment. He takes the faded blue mouse with one hand and double-clicks on the file. At first, the loud noise of the camera video causes him to jump back and immediately turn the sound down. No need to catch the attention of others while trying to stay hidden.
[At first, the area doesn't look familiar, until the camera pans out to show the apartment building. The sight alone causes Tatsuya to pause the video, making sure he's not dreaming this up. The police station also seems to be intact, from what little he can see. Sumaru looks peaceful. Sumaru is safe. But is this really someone he can trust or is Nyarlathotep playing with his mind?]
..prove to me that you arent being controlled by him.

He rewatches the video but nothing seems out of the ordinary to him, aside from the obvious doorway to the Nexus.
Him? By that I assume you mean the person who was ultimately responsible for the destruction of your world? I wish I could, but I don't know where you are. You could be from an entirely alien planet that through the infinite laws of probability happens to use what I consider to be my native tongue from Earth. Japan, to be exact.
He taps his finger against the desk for a whole minute, trying to decide what to say.
But if I were being controlled by said entity, what sense would it make to try to help you escape your fate rather than leaving you to it? If your world is ending, then getting here may be your only chance. I have to do what I can to help. It's the right thing to do.
And boy if that last sentence isn't one of Katsuya's favorite arguments for doing anything.
no subject
...yes. he destroyed everything but a small portion of japan. and now, even that is going to disappear soon.
how do you plan on helping? this place is cut off from the world. except for this computer. [A moment of hesitation.] that video looks like somewhere i've been before.

Snippets of memories are flooding Katsuya's mind. Conversations he'd had with the party and his brother once they'd all finally met up. Confrontations with Nyralathotep, taunting his brother openly.
He's not sure how he's so sure, but he is. His fingers are shaking as he continues typing.
You're talking about the Other Side.
Katsuya's never seen that version of Sumaru, but he's heard stories. He's heard enough. What could have happened to his own world, even. If people are still alive over there....Katsuya has to help. He has to.
We need to find the doorway to the Nexus. I'd imagine it's close to where you are now, if you've been able to cross messages over. Where are you exactly? I can try to give you directions to the couple of doorways that lead to the Nexus on This Side.
no subject
[Knowing that there's a way out fills the boy with a sense of optimism, somethign long lost to him with the fall of human society. This world doesn't have much time left, not with disease slowly creeping up and useable resources dwindling.]
2Xslash. Aoba. where should i look?
no subject
Rumors become reality in Sumaru.
Wait. Wait a minute.
That's it! You're on Aoba Drive if you're in the 2xSlash. Is the Kuzunoha Detective Agency still open? Are there enough survivors to still spread rumors? Spread a rumor that there's a door that leads to the multiverse at the back of the 2xSlash. Then you could escape, and it has the added benefit for allowing other survivors escape too!
no subject
you must be joking. Kuzunoha is all the way in hirasaka. it's difficult to get there, let alone i'm not sure if spreading rumors will work anymore. i tried to spread one once...to fix the world, but nothing happened
no subject
Little do the Suous know they're making the exact same frown at their respective computer screens. Tatsuya would be devastated to know how alike his brother he looks right now.
Really? Damn. I had hoped this would be simpler. Maybe I need to spread a rumor first. This would be easier if you could sense Resonance...no matter. I can start pulling open random doors on this side. Something....there has to be something I can do to help you.
