[in a passable copy of Lelouch's handwriting]
[it looks like Lelouch's handwriting at first glance, but people more familiar with how he writes will be able to tell that it's not him. Okayed with player first, and I'm also cool with people calling Brainy on this.]
It has come to my attention that there are many people from different worlds and time periods here, and as such, I ask that people please fill out the following form, regardless of if you think your world is unusual or not. I'm simply attempting to establish a pattern here.
The name of your world: (Or worlds, if you are familiar with more than one. This is largely to keep track of alternate dimensions of the same world as well as to see if there is a pattern in points of origin.)
The time period you are from: (If at all possible, a parallel to Earth years would be useful, as that is what I am most familiar with and it will be useful in establishing a baseline.)
The standard technology level of your world: (A general overview of what technology is commonplace. There is no need for specifics, I am simply after details like communication systems, transport, and the like. In particular, are you from a time period where space or cross-dimensional travel is commonplace?)
Less common technologies that might be of interest to the institute: (No doubt obvious, but if we are able to establish some theories about what might be at work here, we can try to combat it.)
I will ask further questions if the answers call for them.

You'll excuse me if I don't believe you, considering that you have yet to tell me who you are. And is this information really so sensitive that you can't share it here?
no subject
And it isn't, but like I said before: your crappy forging skills offended me, so I'm holding onto it. You share, I share.
[same handwriting as the main post]
Yuffie... I believe I may have seen that name around before, though I still don't see why I should trust you.
In that case, I have no desire for what information you can offer. I'm not going to offer something sensitive that may result in me being attacked here and elsewhere in return for some basic information.
no subject
Why not just use a general anon, instead of sucking suckily at pretending to be -- oh, because Lulu's making a name for himself and the info network. Still, the least you could do is make it more authentic.
You could also just scribble your name down and remove it real quick. :)
[same handwriting as the main post]
Exactly. If I were to put this up as generally anonymous, those who have taken to harassing me would still know it was me. This is effective enough to provide a screen to deflect their attention. Meaning I can gather my information in peace.
Provided people stop posting irritating alterations or accusations.
Or equally I could not tell you my name. You haven't given me any real reason to, other than your own curiosity.
no subject
Aside from my word and the promise of sticking a thousand needles in my eye if I lie or betray you, there's really nothing else I can offer somebody this paranoid.
[same handwriting as the main post]
I don't have the time for something like that. And... it's not something I'm particularly good at, if you must know.
I see you finally understand my point. And I'm not paranoid, simply cautious.
no subject
[same handwriting as the main post]
Assuming I even trusted you to do that when we haven't met or spoken beyond this conversation.
...why do you care so much about this?
no subject
Now who's the one assuming? The Network needs all the help it can get.
[same handwriting as the main post]
I'm just being cautious, not hiding anything... detrimental.
..what Network?
no subject
Er, the information network that Lulu's (that's Lelouch) been working on setting up? Gathering and redistributing information, etc. Recon, intel, and tl;dr bulletin board surveys galore.
[same handwriting as the main post]
..I told you that earlier. Did you think I would go to such lengths otherwise? And I doubt you're in the same situation I am.
I've been.... out of commission for the past few days. I haven't seen much of that information around, but it does sound like something of interest with me. Even if I am a little unclear on what 'tl;dr' means.
no subject
It means 'too long, didn't read', and Lulu is the master of it. Except I usually find myself reading it anyway, go figure. The monster reports and his work on the Institute's timeline are posted every day, and you can usually count on at least a few other surveys popping up here and there -- like this one.
[same handwriting as the main post]
No, my 'trouble' comes in pairs; one with green eyes and red hair, the other with blue eyes and blond hair. They're the reason I wasn't able to see the network posts.
I had seen those. I like the idea. It seems more useful than what some others use this medium for.
no subject
You can't blame people for wanting to have a bit of fun in a dump like this. D'you already have specific areas and ideas you wanna work on? You could always talk to him about getting involved.
[same handwriting as the main post]
...yes, he does. I suppose you're going to tell me I'm lying now?
Unfortunately, some of that 'fun' seems to involve targetting others for your own amusement. I might. I'm hesitant to talk too much here, but I have spoken with Lelouch once already about something similar.
no subject
Hey! Who said anything about me? I don't pester just anybody, I'll have you know. Oh, you guys have spoken already? That's cool. If it comes to it, I could always pass a message for ya.
[same handwriting as the main post]
So I'm special in that respect? I suppose that's something. It's fine for the moment. But I suppose it would be polite to contact him, particularly after making this notice.
no subject
No, you just caught my interest. Dropping a message by him miiiiiight be a good idea, yeah, and the sooner the better. So, d'you wanna see my survey answers? :P
[same handwriting as the main post, strikes reasonably legible]
Not many people think it would be him, apparently. I did...
but then heBut not anymore, no.I'll try and remember to do so at some point, though it's difficult without leaving myself open, thereby negating my reasons for doing this in the first place. If you want to answer, then I would welcome the information.
no subject
Sounds like you're in a bit of a pickle. Don't guess you wanna talk about it? And if you're worried, you could try one of the clubs that emphasise self-defence training.
Well, that is why I offered. I'll be working with his partner tonight.
World: Gaia, often just called the Planet.
Time period: εуλ 2010.
Technology: We've got some anti-gravity technology, like the boards, bikes, and scooters (mostly WRO issued, otherwise hella expensive). And then we've got cars, motorbikes, airships trains, etc. Since Meteorfall we haven't been using mako for anything, so technology kind of took a huge downward slump while we were looking for replacements. We also lost the tech to manufacture materia, since, yeah. Materia, mako, you don't usually get one without the other. Almost everyone has a cellphone now, and the WWN (World Wide Network) was opened up to the public. We barely even have space travel, so cross-dimensional is right out.
Weird technology: Materia, I guess. The stuff ShinRa developed had properties you'd never ever find growing naturally. A lot of the other advanced technology was lost when ShinRa fell and Midgar got flattened, as well.
[same handwriting as the main post]
...a pickle? Not particularly, since I don't really know anything about you and it's a ...sensitive subject.
...but thank you. For the offer. Unfortunately I don't think self-defence would be much help here either.
His partner? I suppose I could give you a note...
Thank you for the information. If you don't mind, what does 'εуλ' mean, and what are mako and materia?
no subject
Hm, of course, no problem! There's nothing I can really suggest instead, but if you ever want my help, just ask! The Great Ninja Yuffie specializes in rescuing damsels in distress, knights in shining armor, and everything else beyond and between.
Yup, his partner. They've got a pretty weird relationship, soooo that's the only thing I can think to call it. A note would be perfect.
That's just how years are denoted on calendars n' stuff; it means 'era', basically. Mako is the liquid form of the Lifestream, which is the spirit energy that gives life to the Planet and everything on it. It used to be the biggest source of energy around, never mind the whole 'whoa we're kinda killing the Planet major-style here' thing. Materia is super condensed, crystallized mako. You use it to tap into the power of the Lifestream and cast magic, etc. I think that's it…
[same handwriting as the main post]
Thank you. [hesitation marks] I suppose that... it might be interesting to meet with you at some point...
A note then. You'll find it attached to this.
I see... At what point would year '0' coincide with, then? Mako sounds interesting, but also not something advisable to use a lot of. However, that doesn't always deter people in my experiences.
[the following note is folded and has the initials 'L.L.' written neatly on the front]
Lelouch, I apologise for making use of your identity in order to investigate the matter we discussed, though I can assure you that I had my reasons.
-someone still unfamiliar with pizza.
