[ The scene presented via jewelry is within one of the many rooms of the newly refurbished Oska castle. A centaur stands next to the cheerfully roaring fire, presenting a matchingly cheerful smile. ]

It looks like you’ve all lived, although that was a little close there, for some of you. Good work! I knew you could do it.

Now, as you may have noticed by Oska looking quite well around you, the last week was a false reality. Don’t take it personally, that happens to everyone here eventually. We have to make sure recruits are up to snuff. You’re a bit unique as a whole team of greenhorns, though. To be quite honest, I’ve never seen this activity done on such a large scale before. It was impressive, wasn’t it? And don’t worry, any trinkets you may have come across are quite real, and yours to keep if you want them.

So then, to business. I’m Uruz. I’m familiar with some of you already, although I’m afraid that’s one-sided in most cases — I spent a fair bit of time in there with you, but none of you saw me if I was doing my job right. ALASTAIR has asked me and my compatriots, Dagny, Crowley, and Cherenkov, to review your performance within Chantes and rate your work. It’s quite a big job, our to-do with worlds, and we want to make sure we’ve got trustworthy recruits. I’ve attached that for you, please do give it a glance.

dagny: Well, the king died. So that's... not the best. From what I hear, things are kind of chaotic there right now, what with the whole 'no government' thing and all. And a lot of you got in a ton of trouble with the law. But you did work together! Most of you, anyway. People died and the city got destroyed, but I know you all did your best, so you get points for effort. I give you an... eight. Point five. No, nine out of ten. But that's as high as I'll go, because, you know. The murder and death.

Don’t feel bad, though, there’s always room for improvement.

crowley: Your refusal to work with the goblins’ natural talents for magic was disappointing. I foresaw much potential there, and it was wasted on your muddying things up with politics. On the other paw, your dispelling of demons and other magical creatures was serviceable, if a little last-minute. 5/10.

cherenkov: I stopped paying attention after you all brought the sun back. Because that's what matters, doesn't it? You didn’t do badly for a bunch of apes, but don’t get distracted by the diplomatic nonsense next time. Ignore the cow and the knife-eared one. Spend the time improving instrumentation, not making friends. 8/10.

uruz: You did make an attempt. You got engaged and cared to deal with their issues, which, well, we'd really have an issue for concern if not. And you did very nice work on a personal level, to bring together goblins and humans. They'll not be moving in together any time soon, but they're on the right path. But really, did you have to murder the man? He'd just killed the king, to be sure, but taking a life has serious consequences, no matter whose it was. It sets you on a path it can be difficult to step off of. But overall, acceptable. 6/10.

There we go. On a final note, I’ve been asked to let you know that you’ve got some time to spend in Oska before your next assignment, which is to Nalawi. A lovely place, I’m a bit envious. Enjoy your downtime, and again, good work! I’ve very high hopes for the lot of you.

[ The network is now back up again along with Oska being restored and the weather events ended, and you can find a full description of current Oska right here. Feel free to use this post to thread on, and the NPCs may make a few appearances for direct questions. ]

<sub>[ Well, this is slightly annoying, and it just further proves he doesn't trust these ALASTAIR people.
But, it doesn't read on his face.

He raises his hand as if he were sitting in a classroom, completely flippant about this reveal. ]</sub>

Uruz-senseiiii,
Can the next assignment be some place warm?
I also have a complaint about a few of my fellow classmates and think they need to speak to the principle.

Nalawi is very warm! It's tropical. Like I said, perfectly lovely, I know you'll like it.

[ She's ignoring the rest of that though, apparently. She just wanted to gush about Nalawi. ]

[naturallywavy]

_{[ Huh. At least they seem friendly enough, even if they're kind of odd. Time to make a great impression.
Gintoki straightens his posture— and something in his voice sounds fake, but overly polite. ]}

Ah, I see, I see. This is more of a field trip then, aaah? With sand shores, food trucks and cute girls? Oi. At least say there's food trucks—!
_{[ Gintoki, this isn't the boardwalks of Japan— but he genuinely is curious about this new place. ]}

[uruzology]

It's a field trip only in as much as any of our missions are. But I'm sure you'll find plenty to keep you occupied there, not to fear.

[naturallywavy]

I'll send you a post-card, Uruz-sensei.
_{[ stop groveling?? what is this overly nice behavior? ]}
I promise you I'll do a good job this time. I value my education and want a 10/10 score next time so I can achieve my dreams like a model citizen.

Ah, but please. I don't mean to be a tattle-tell, but these are things as a student I have observed here.

[naturallywavy]

These classmates have been concerning others and they deserve a warning.. a yellow or red light or detention..
_{[ A text message follows: ]}
UN: Tohsaka Rin — Public indecency.
UN: KINGOFHEROES — Doesn’t play nice on the playground.
UN: Saber — Throwing food in the cafeteria.
UN: Baaaan — Bullies others in the locker room.
UN: unknownrealms — Never finishes his homework on time.
UN: PARTY — The reason he is always late for class is because he is hung over.
UN: coolskeleton95 — Pushed a student.
UN: peridot — Pushed a student (off of a building.)

Thank you for listening to my concerns.
_{[ don't mind him he's just being a jerk. ]}

[uruzology]

[ There's a pause, then a light sigh. You got a sigh, Gintoki, be proud. ]

If that's everything, then I'll be on my way.

[ Gintoki u r ded???? ]

—Uruz-sensei, please let me punch him off-the-record.

[ added text: ]

. . . un: KINGOFHEROES makes the playground a real mess, though, it's true.

[uruzology]

I don't handle inter-recruit affairs, I'm afraid. How you get along is up to you.

Uruz-senseeeeei,
Party-kun not only is late for all of his classes, but he is threatening other students too. Please give him trash duty.

audio;

[wardance]

Scream all you want for sensei, Parfait-tan, she's not going to find you.

audio;

[naturallywavy]

Not like she'd come back for you either.
_{[ are they going to fight over this npc or what.. ]}

You're this close to being expelled, oi, I heard her say that in the hallway.
_{[ ??? these idiots .. ]}

audio;

[wardance]

Can't expel me if she doesn't come back for me.

[ yes. ]

Let's settle this at recess.

You're just begging for me to beat your ass, then....










At tether ball.

[ there's a definitely singsong tone coating his words. ] Oh ho, just wait until I get my hands on you.

Maybe this will help you re-consider who you play with here.
_{[ He's still miffed about whatever happened between you and Ban. It's for your protection, Party-kun. ]}

Aaah? What are you going to do?
_{[ still going with the school theme here: ]}

Give me a wedgie in the hallway?

[wardance]

Hey—! [ still fighting over the same bad date you gotta forgive him sometime?! ]

No, I was...

[ well in his AU high school he gets to carry a bat with him. ]

—Do you even wear anything I can give you a wedgie with?

[naturallywavy]

_{[ this is offensive...?
SQUINTS ... ]}

Oi. What's that mean.
A protagonist doesn't stoop so low to goin' commando for the sake of gag jokes. I wear plenty of underpants, idiot.
_{[ just don't get him on fundoshi day.. ]}

[wardance]

—'the hell kind of gag joke does that assist?

[naturallywavy]

_{[ Ugh, Masamune. Get with the gag times. ]}
Naked ones. Pantsing is pretty common in my series. I'm not going to embarrass myself by not wearing anything and fall victim to another naked joke.

You don't understand how any of that works, do you?
