Attention to all those WHO'VE BEEN OVER THE WALL!

I'm planning to conduct some investigations out there myself, and to that end, I need to know as much as possible -- what you guys might have seen that I haven't yet; stuff like that. Rest assured that any intel you give me will be put to good, practical use! SO!

What you saw, what you felt, what you heard, what tried to eat you, what didn't try to eat you. More detailed observations & descriptions, diagrams, etc.~ Even the minor details might be important!

~ Yuffie.

I have far too much combat experience. I'm currently working with someone else, but if he doesn't mind splitting up for a bit, I could help you out. I'll have to talk to him. Depends on what you want to do, though. I'm assuming it has to do with the outside area?

Through the building -- the main hallways, then through the East Wing, Hall A to get to the yard.

[thatdamnedninja.livejournal.com]

Good guess! But it might just be, y'know, theoretical stuff. An opinion. Who're you working with?

Thought as much. People who go through the courtyard seem to run into a lot more problems.

[superdynamic.livejournal.com]

Theoretical? Okay, that's pretty vague, but do you want to meet sometime and talk about it? I'm working with Lelouch Lamperouge, you've probably seen his name a lot by now.

Really? Do you think there are specific areas where there are more monsters?

On the board, in person, whatever. Doesn't really bother me! I'm used to thinking on the fly rather than planning in advance, that's all. But if I'm gonna be taking other people out there with me... well, you know what I'm getting at, right? then it won't be my fault if something goes wrong WAIT. Lelouch? Huh. You guys know each other...

Oh, yeah. Probably.

Re: [strikes illegible]

[superdynamic.livejournal.com]

If you're fine with talking about it on the board, then what do you want help with? And yeah, Lelouch and I went to school together. Is there a problem with that?

Hmm. Have you heard of any other areas like that, besides the courtyard? Just curious. I'm kind of new.

[thatdamnedninja.livejournal.com]

Some of the stuff over the walls is super dangerous. Team effort to defeat, yada-yada. But larger teams are also hella noticeable, aren't they? What would you do, without the communications equipment needed to co-ordinate a number of smaller units? As for Lelouch, nope, no problem here.

Well, from what I hear, the patient blocks are the safest. The closer you get to important stuff, the bigger and badder the enemies are gonna get. I haven't really analyzed all the monster info in too much detail yet... :(

[superdynamic.livejournal.com]

I have to admit, I'm kind of spoiled by modern technology. But as far as I see, the only option to communicate between groups in different areas is by using messengers. You'd need people who are very fast, and capable of defending themselves. Sending two people to carry a message would be best, but if the group is already small you don't want to reduce your numbers too much, especially if you need to send another messenger out later. Other than that, you'd need as much information about the conditions as possible beforehand, and carefully plan the movements of the groups down to the smallest detail. I honestly don't know if there's much more you can do, unless someone here can make walkie-talkies. Even flares might help, though of course those give away your position to enemies as well as friends.

Oh, well thank you anyways, that's very useful to know. It's interesting that they put them in specific places like that. I wonder why the animals and non-human things stay in their place.

[thatdamnedninja.livejournal.com]

I had somebody working on fixing up the radios. To use as walkie-talkies, I mean. Jeez, I bet he's slacked off! Anyway, thanks! I wonder if there'd be a way to rig the flares so that they stayed in place over night; if you could set them off remotely, it might draw the monsters away.

It's almost like they've got established territories or hunting grounds, isn't it?

[superdynamic.livejournal.com]

That's a good idea. And if the monsters aren't really drawn to them, you could just use them as safe stations, where people could go for protection or medical aid. Or they could be contact points for messengers. I don't know how long the flares could last, but as distractions you could use them for a short while at least, and as stations you could have people maintain them. I have no idea how we would go about getting flares, though. Maybe someone knows how to make them.

Yeah, I suppose. The doctors have to have some way of controlling them.

[thatdamnedninja.livejournal.com]

I've heard a bunch of people talking about chemicals, and I know one or two people who're pretty handy with this kind of thing. Wouldn't be too hard to come up with some basic flares, or even maybe some flashy explosives. And maybe if we could find a way to deter the monsters for long periods of time, we could establish really cool hideouts; long-term ones. I guess it depends on figuring out how not to get dragged right back to your bed in the morning, though…

Hey, I know I recognize your handwriting, but can you confirm your name?

[superdynamic.livejournal.com]

It would still take a lot of planning. And yeah, we'd need to figure out how they get us back to our beds first. Really, we need to figure that out first before a lot of things can happen.

Suzaku Kururugi. You know, the guy who just put up that weapons survey. By the way, if you see any of those people you know, can you make them reply to that? I think it's a good idea to have all that information in the same place.

[thatdamnedninja.livejournal.com]

Since I'm trying to specialize in the areas outside, I'll figure something out eventually. I wonder if they're using similar techniques to the one that brought us here in the first place? If they can drag us all the way here from other worlds… Well, anyways, there'll be a way to stop it.

That's what I thought. Ummmm as for those guys… I can try, but it's pretty hard to ‘make’ them do anything. :{ They're annoying like that. But since you asked so nicely, Suzie, I'll do my best!

[superdynamic.livejournal.com]

It's most likely the same kind of technology. Then again, there's something to be said for the theory that all of this is an illusion, programmed into our minds somehow. And the way we just inexplicably end up in our beds would fit with that. Hey, maybe you could coordinate your research with other people -- you can find out about the outside while they find out about how we're brought to our beds, and then you could work together to figure out some kind of plan.

Okay, well, thank you for trying. Suzie?!

[thatdamnedninja.livejournal.com]

I AM PRETTY SURE that I'm not having some kind of crazyass existential crisis, but, hey, theories are theories. And that's actually not a bad idea, which is probably why I thought of it myself. Apparently we've got some pretty intelligent people here, so I wouldn’t be surprised if people have already been asking that question... SO. How to dig up those people, and how to co-ordinate this whole… thing.

No problem, no problem! 'Sup?

[superdynamic.livejournal.com]

There's no way to know for sure, not if they're good at creating illusions. If you want to coordinate different research projects, then honestly? Talk to Lelouch. Actually, I can just talk to him for you. If he could find someone to research those other things, would you be willing to work with them?

Do you give everyone weird names, or am I just special?

[thatdamnedninja.livejournal.com]

But that'd suuuuck. Which, um, on second thoughts is probably the whole point. ANYWAY, I really hope that isn't the case; if it's technology or some kind of magic, then there'll (probably) be a material way to counter it. As for working with people... It depends who they are. You're pretty friendly with Lelouch, are'tcha?

There's nothing weird about it!

[superdynamic.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it really would. Even if that is the case, we might be able to find a way to fight it. We just need more information. I guess we'll see about coordinating with other people. And yes, I guess we are. Like I said, we went to school together, so we know each other really well, and we're good at working together.

No one's ever called me that before! That makes it weird.

[thatdamnedninja.livejournal.com]

Ahh, so that means you know a bunch of juicy gossip about him, right? Strange quirks. Hidden penchant for silly outfits? Possibly crossdress. Fur-suits? Things like that? No need to be shy!

It's perfectly normal! Do you go around calling every new experience ‘weird’? That's no way to live.

[superdynamic.livejournal.com]

Well, he does have some interesting taste in clothes, but if I say anything about it to you he'll probably have my head. Sorry to disappoint. Oh, he did crossdress once, but he was forced to and he didn't like it very much. I did too, actually, on the same occasion.

No, but most new experiences don't involve people doing things like that to my name.

[kingside]

Why are you telling her about that?! And what do you mean, "interesting?"

[thatdamnedninja.livejournal.com]

Because I asked! :) And he obviously thinks that a personable young woman such as myself is deserving of such interesting knowledge. Why? Are you embarassed?

[kingside]

Y N It's just an experience I would prefer to forget. Immediately.

[superdynamic.livejournal.com]

What? I said you didn't want to, and I did it too. That makes it okay. I just mean what I said, interesting.

[thatdamnedninja.livejournal.com]

Hey, does he have any nicknames?

[superdynamic.livejournal.com]

If he did, I wouldn't tell you, because he'd get even more pissed at me. Sorry.
