[There's a lot going on Jeff could talk about. Things he wants to talk about, like, "why are we keeping a dangerous murderer in the school instead of sending him to a high-security federal prison?" or maybe something more personal like, "what does it mean to be an adult now?" But he doesn't have any business questioning the security team's decisions, especially after some of the other people who have been allowed to roam free in the school, and the second one is probably not what an adult would ask anyway.

So what other current events could make for good conversation to keep his mind off those things...?]

So I guess it's Valentine's Day in a few days. I hope those weird flying robots don't show up again this year. But they have every other year. Just be careful if you don't want to end up in an embarrassing situation!

A lot of people get pretty bitter around this time of year, I've noticed. It's not so bad not to have a Valentine, right? It's a nice day targeted at making money off couples, sure, but there's no reason not to go have fun with single friends or just eat chocolates or watch sappy movies instead, right?

People really undervalue friendships at times like these, but those are important. Maybe even more important than romance. Just a thing to think about, I guess.

Some birthday cards came in the mail for me today. I even got a batch of sweet shrooms from my family. While I appreciate the thought, I find it a bit strange I'm receiving all these things so early. My birthday isn't even until-

[He looks at the date at the corner of his computer screen. Oh look, it's February 4th. ] tomorrow!

[He smiled pleasantly at the screen before his eyes popped wide open realization. ] T-t-tomorrow?!  [Parakarry frantically double-checked the date. To his embarrassment, it read 2/4. His birthday crept up on him this year. ]

Not again.

[LAST NIGHT (and a few nights before that) IN ONE OF THE DORM COMMON ROOMS... Every so often the silence of night was punctuated by very loud AUUUUUGHS and NNNOOOOOS and OH MY GOD WHAT ARE YOU DOINGS.

If anyone had happened to peek in, they would have seen Ness nearly falling off of his seat, looking like he was all but about to run up and press his nose against the TV screen.

What in the world was.... Oh.

WORLD SERIES YOU GUYS.]


OH MY GOD EXTRA INNINGS AND HOME RUNS AND STRIKES AND THEY...

OH MY GOD.

[Ness calm down. Ness are you frothing. Stop that.]

[There is a happy, blond girl on the video feed. She is all smiles and giggles. There is a basket of Halloween cookies sitting on the desk beside her.]

I had a lot of fun making Halloween treats with everyone! If you see any Halloween-shaped cookies in the lounge, please feel free to eat them. I tried to make enough to send some home, but I might've made too much. Hee hee, oops! Oh well, better there's too much and not too little, right? Now there's enough to share!

Speaking of Halloween, what is everyone dressing up as? I haven't decided yet. Does anyone have any suggestions? I was planning on going downtown within the next few days and visiting the costume stores. If anyone wants to tag along, please feel free! The more the merrier. There's only a week left until Halloween. I better hurry before all the good costumes are sold out!

[Oh look who's back. And she's got a new look to boot!]

Well! That was quite an interesting dig, wasn't it?

My apologize for not posting sooner. I've been quite busy preparing for the Octoberfest at the cafe! I seem to have a new roommate, a Paula I believe? I'm sure we'll get along just fine! For those who don't know me, my name is Bob Heather Arceus! Most people just call me Bob, and I highly encourage it. The rest makes it seem to formal.

[She peers closer into the camera]

So many new faces, not just from around here, but from Capcom and Squarenix too! I hope the exchange program has been good for you.

Hello everyone, I haven't quite realize it, but it seems it's already October now. I've been so caught up with things, the time passes me by. H-hahaha. [Oh god, that was horrible, how can he make himself sound confident. sob]

Um... since it's October, Halloween should be by the end of the month.Then again it would be odd if it were in another day... S-so, I think I want to cook more sweets than usual. Halloween's still far, but making them in advance or just making sweets in general n-never hurt anyone, right...? Umm.. if anyone could lend me a hand or anything....

[Good day Smash Academy. FYI, your school has just gotten more obnoxious by a substantial margin. Like, by at least 15-20% in one blow I would say. Why is that?

Well, it’s because of the fat kid currently on video on the communicator. He looks about thirteen, shaggy blonde hair that probably hasn’t seen the sharp edge of a pair of scissors for a year or so doing their best to obscure his eyes. Along with the weight problem, he looks…ill. His skin is a bizarre, light shade of blue. He’s also wearing a large, mean grin on his face as he stands on top of a chair in his dorm room, his left leg perched upon the chair back, occasionally rocking it to tip the legs back and forth. He’s set the communicator on the top of something else to focus on him, clearly wanting to hog the imaginary spotlight he’s created for himself.

And his voice? Has no right to be as sure as it sounds, or lay everything on so thickly as he speaks.]

Hey losers. It’s you’re lucky day. You know why?

Because I’m here. Me, Pokey Minch, genius and time-traveler and master prankster.

So, alright, funny story. Usually I wouldn’t pay half a mind to your little rinky-dink school but I was cruising around space and time – you know, awesomely – and I was kind of bored for a bit when I noticed this hole in the ground. So, being the nice guy I am, I thought I’d be gracious enough to drop in and say hi, maybe stay for a while and see if you nerds actually do anything worthwhile.

You’re welcome.

Now that we all know each other, let’s set some ground rules about how things are going to be from now on. I-

[Unfortunately, the boy’s proclamation is interrupted as he rocks too hard on the chair, the chair tipping forward and spilling the boy forward. He apparently ends up hitting whatever was holding the communicator up hard enough that the communicator knocks over and turns off, ending the feed.]

[Camera feed comes in at rather awkward moments sometimes. In this case, it's while Nabooru's in the midst of stifling a yawn.

She slouches over and stares at her camera, seemingly unamused - or something like it.]

Hello kids, cranky old men, potential dancers, and cohorts.

Are you all having a good time? I had a blind date with that Edward guy, and he doesn't seem so bad. He was pretty nice actually. How many of you got stuck with people you hated?

[She pauses to cover her mouth with her right hand and a few moments later withdraws it.]

Hold that thought.
Any of you know of good sleep remedies?

[If anyone says 'a good lay' or its equivalent, she's going to punch them in the face.]

[Hello, Smash Academy. Agitha hasn't said anything for a while, but she's as girly as ever in her odd fluffy ensemble. Really, some would say she looks like a cupcake in her outfits and parasol companion.

She sits on her bed without her head piece and instead is donning a praying mantis that appears to be playing with her bangs. Jacque, the butterfly - who seems to like the spotlight - lands just so on the camera, exposing a part of a goldish wing only when he flutters them.

Agitha has a smile plastered across her face.]

Hello, everyone!

I've given a lot of thought to how I'd like to put the bug house together and I think I've made all of the plans. I just need some help with construction and I know a few of you have expressed an interest in helping me.

I've looked around Miss Erika's greenhouses and all of the pretty plants, and I think I'd like a habitat like that. It doesn't need to be overwhelmingly large, just something big enough for about twenty-four-plus insects. I think it should be warm, so that when it gets colder, they won't get cold, but it shouldn't be so overwhelmingly hot that it toasts them. I was also hoping we could put some flowers in with the bugs. They'll need to eat, so I'd like specific flowers that it's okay for them to nomnom on, and some other flowers that would just really make their environment pretty.

[Her ears wiggle and she raises the basket beside her with a hand and exposes a batch of red velvet cupcakes.]

I'll also be making treats just like these cupcakes for everyone who helps out and something to drink as well.

[She then digs through her basket carefully and brings up a bar with a suspicious blue berry like centre.]

With N's help, I've begun making berry bars. I believe these are used in those poffin treats for Pokémon, so if any of you have some, or if any of the Pokémon here would like some, I'd be more than happy to make a batch. They keep well and they're so good that even those who aren't Pokémon can eat them! I tested them myself, so of course I know they're good. If you'd like a sample just to try, you can also stop by the room I share with Princess Daisy any time.
