dissonates | [Voice/Action] backdated to Day 1 of the event until the end!

[Asch will be leaving a single message on the journal network on the evening of the first day, his voice flat:]

[Voice]

I know that the village is being its usual mad self this week, but Guy Cecil's gone back to his world. With the recent departures, Good Spirits is shorthanded.

[....oh, right.]

Also, considering the bar is in the area where alcohol is apparently prohibited, thieves have been after the stores. Most of the remaining supply's been hidden, but I could use help guarding it.

As far as I know, the journal network has always been for our eyes only, so if you want any for yourself and the staff doesn't recognize you, try to come up with something only one of us would know.

[After that, he won't be doing much exploration. Asch is having none of this silly experiment business; he woke up wearing this, and since his closet seems to be full of clothes either like it or much worse, he just rolls with it. He's been around the block before. He'll be staying in the bar pretty much 24/7 (besides food runs and emergencies) to make sure the collection doesn't get completely depleted; he may be a recently returned staff member himself, now, but the bar was important to Guy, so he can at least protect it for a while. Alcoholic drinks will be served through the back door to villagers only, so if you want some booze, better figure out a way to act convincing.]

Whatever's convenient. I'm not about to force anyone, but I'll take any volunteers as long as this is going on.

I don't mind. I'm one of the heads of Brave Vesperia now-- this is the kind of thing we're supposed to be doing. I wouldn't be much of a leader if I didn't offer to help out where I can.

[...Brave Vesperia leaders... Emil? Huh.]

In that case, get over here and protect the alcohol for the good of the community.

Right! I'm on my way!

... as soon as I can find something better to wear. Why did I have to end up in this... skirt thing?

[Guess whose house is in the Nile?]

[....skirt... thing...]

...I don't want to know.

You mean you didn't wake up in a weird outfit too?

I did, but it sure as hell wasn't a skirt.

Then what was it?

[sob why does everyone else get the cool outfits?]

It's just a suit. Why is it that important?

[He's not even that surprised- the Malnosso seem obsessed with changing their residents' genders one way or another.]

It's not, I just wanted to know what you were dressed in. At least it's better than a skirt. I would even take a swimsuit over this.

If you're that bothered by it, come to my area. My house is full of suits just like it, you can borrow one.

Really? You wouldn't mind?

They're not really my clothes anyway, so what do I care?

I wonder why they felt like they needed to change our clothes in the first place.

... wait, don't answer that. It's probably because they just like to mess with us.

[........ugh, Emil, the thoughts in his head right now...]

...Just get over here.

Right!

[Okay, okay, he's coming, you don't need to sound so grouchy about it... then again, grouchy is Asch's default.]

[Asch will be waiting at the bar, though he's not sure if Emil will be coming there or right to the house. If Emil knows where he lives, anyway.

He's hoping Arietta doesn't eat him, anyway.]

[No worries, Emil is headed for the bar... and much to his relief, his outfit will change on its own as soon as he enters Gangland.

Well, mostly to his relief. The hat is too big and keeps sliding down into his eyes, but at least there isn't a skirt-thing anymore. He actually looks almost like a proper guard by the time he shows up at the bar to help guard the booze.]

It looks like my outfit just kind of changed on its own on the way over here...

...Changed?

[Asch lifts a brow at him, vaguely disturbed. He hasn't left the gangster area at all yet (and he doesn't intend to, either) and this new information just makes him even less inclined to do so.]

They're following some kind of theme in each region, then?

I guess so. I don't know how else to explain that happening. It kind of makes you wonder what will happen to your clothes if you go into the other areas, though.

I'd prefer not to find out.

[Asch shrugs his shoulders, going back to what he's doing - namely restocking the fridge with foodstuffs and non-alcoholic beverages.]

These clothes may not be ideal, but they're not that different from what I'd be comfortable wearing. And I'm not interested in wearing a skirt.

Yeah...

[Okay, time for a subject change, because he's had about enough of skirts to last a lifetime.]

So where is all of the alcohol right now?

Most of it's underground or in storage. Nami placed an illusion over some of the bottles, as well.

[He lifts a brow.]

That information doesn't leave this building.

[Emil nods.]

Got it. I could do a patrol if you want, or I could just hang around up here too. Whatever you think will be the most useful.

Patrolling will just make you look suspicious. We want to make it seem as if we have nothing of value here. If you want to help us guard, just stay inside and try to act naturally.
