[Greetings Smashabitants. "Seth" presents to you today looking rather chipper and warm in his big, plushy scarf. Pink, yes, but the freckled blonde wears it well. Brings out the red in his eyes, it does.]

It's that time of the year again, isn't it? Flowers are trying in vain to peek their little heads through the snow and not get crushed underfoot, your RAs like miss Zelda busy hanging those adorably tacky heart-shaped banners and garlands everywhere, local murderers and being detained in our school, and yes, even love might be in the air!

[He clasps his hands together and props them under his chin with a dreamy sigh.]

It sounds like a perfect time to do something special in Host Club, doesn't it? This is your friendly reminder that this week's meeting will be in celebration of Valentine's Day and the theme will be glasses. Not fancy drinking glasses but the fashionable kind you wear on your face. I believe the proper term is "Meganekko", or something like that. Couples get extra snacks and desserts on the house!

[A thoughtful pause. He's a very thoughtful boy, really.]

...Well, I'm sure the world won't hold it against you or anything if you happen to be miserable and alone this year--just commercialism and the populous in general, and what have they ever done for you anyway, mm?

Unruly and violent pyromaniacs need not apply to Host Club, as always. Blaze.

Speaking of that though, I've got a bit of a brain-tickler for you, dear viewer. Hasn't anyone ever wondered why the school's stadium seems pre-programed with so many fantastic battling "areas"? Areas that, correct me if I'm wrong, often include the homelands of many people here before they ever arrived~?

And I suppose all the usual shenanigans like space carnivals and showy murderers these cupid bots everyone is expecting go without saying--everyone's become just so compliant and thoughtless to expect strange things to happen around here.

Or maybe it's just me!

Anyway, see you in Host Club--Room AE-13. Theme is glasses. Don't forget~

[Oh, a video of everyone's favorite hyperactive, idiot trainer boy. But something clearly isn't right. His cheeks are tear-stained, there's a bright streak of blood across his forehead, and most disturbingly, his hat is missing. Something clearly is not right.]

There's something everyone needs to know! I'll tell you what happened, alright?

This afternoon, I took my Jumpluff out to go train in the forest near the school. While we were out there, I found something really, really disturbing. If you're sensitive to stuff usually, you might wanna not listen...

[Gold leans in towards the camera with wide eyes.]

I FOUND A DEAD BODY.

That's right! I really did. Deep in the heart of the forest, just leaning up against a tree. He had a big... gash in his stomach and he had bled so much. I didn't know he was dead or if he was just unconscious and I don't know how to check. My Pokemon and I, we carried him into the city and to the hospital.

[He starts tearing up a little bit.]

It's sad... I started thinking about if he had a family or who was gonna miss him now. They told me that someone probably killed him and he was probably... that he had probably been dead for a couple of days. [Deep breath.] I'm really freaked out. I just want everyone to know SOMEONE DANGEROUS IS OUT THERE!

[Video screen, say hi to angel boy! He's looking bright-eyed and bushy-tailed like usual, and has a couple things to say.]

It's been a while since I last posted! Hi everyone! It's me, Pit! How are you doing this October month? It's been raining a lot, so I bought a new umbrella. It comes in very handy for me and it's blue with green spots. My favorite colors! I'd open it right now but it's over there and I'm under a roof and I don't want any bad luck!

Soooooo anyway it looks like we have a masquerade ball on Halloween! Wow, I've never been to one before... I have no idea what to do except look it up. [His smile evens out a little more.] It's traditional, so I have to make sure I do this right! The costumes sure do look complicated. I wonder if I'll even know where to start?

[Taps his chin a couple times] I really don't know what I'm getting myself into! [Then, he presses his hands together.] But I'm excited anyway. Okay I'm done making a video! Press the button, Miracle!

[Screen blanks out.]

A masquerade... Finally this school is showing a little more class. Though considering the people here, it's not much of an improvement. Oh well. I suppose it's a case of "enjoy the small victories while you can." I'll have to find a proper costume for the event. Not that I think it'll be difficult. Everything looks good on me--*delete delete* Though I suppose it wouldn't do to out-stage anyone.

Oh who am I kidding, of course it would. There are probably people here who think they can get away with wearing a bed-sheet and calling that a "costume." How pathetic. I wonder where there are any decent mask shops in town.
