So, uh...

[Mikoto's in the park, looking pretty confused while sipping on a can of soda.  She's made sure to stuff the Sgt. Keroro cell phone strap she just bought into her pocket, but those with sharp eyes---or powers that allow them to have sharp vision---will catch onto that.  Do note the mass amount of children running around in the background, ( Read more... )

[When the comm clicks on, it displays...previously-recorded footage, as denoted by the date on the bottom right corner of the screen (4/20).  It's somewhat low-quality---seems to have been taken with a cell phone and then somehow downloaded onto the comm---but one can easily make out Mikoto and Bart---and a black-haired girl with glasses---in front ( Read more... )

[There's the sound of Mikoto playing what seems to be a fighting game in the background.  Followed by her grumbling and muttering to herself in the midst of all the obligatory sounds of projectiles, grunts of pain, punching and kicking, what have you.  There's the sound of "K.O.!!" being announced, and finally, Mikoto lets out an irritated, tired- ( Read more... )

Hey...I don't want to step on anyone's toes, but...I've got a bit of a question.

Argh! You know, for a city that's apparently full of superheroes and whatnot, if I'm supposed to believe what that robot lady told me---

[The voice feed abruptly clicks on as a girl complains, relaying the sounds of what seems to be a scuffle between her and a group of men with less-than-pure intentions.  There are the sounds of electricity ( Read more... )
