[ Been a while since Rin herself has made a call, but in all honesty why would she when she can just ask (read: bully) others into speaking for her. That way she doesn't have to deal with a bunch of no-names hassling her for the answers of every little question, but today? Today should be a day for the people of Haven to celebrate and if not, well she tried and therefore no one could say she didn't. ]

Hey, so you remember Jennifer's call about the date nearly a week ago? She said it was February 8th then so you know that today is February 14th, which you know is a holiday in some countries in the world a lot of us are somewhat familiar with. How it's celebrated really isn't all that important, but it's a holiday designated for love--[ The word is spoken in the only form a tsundere can say it in. ]--so I was honestly expecting this thing here to buzz with a billion love confessions.

[ But enough about her poor love life. ]

As a sign of gratitude for reminding you of the holiday, I'd like to hear your opinions on Miss Beth Yao. A number of you have met her and have been told things about her, haven't you? Consider me curious as to your opinions on her. [ A rare, once in a lifetime opportunity for Rin to give a damn about someone's opinion. Grasp it while you can. ] Surely you have to have something in mind after all we've gone through, right? Well, let's hear it. I don't really have all day to sit around waiting on this stupid phone to entertain me, so be prompt with your replies.

[ For those who do know her, a new scar can be seen creeping out from her turtleneck sweater along her neck. She's done her best to cover it up by wearing this outfit of choice, but maybe she underestimates the phone's camera or just doesn't seem to care about it. ]

The report mentioned snakes too...it also mentioned that the children brought in were about 8 to 12 years old, so combining them might have had a greater effect than using either one on its own. [Ugh, now he just sounds disgusted.] How do you feel about it, Tohsaka-san?

[ The report? That's right, he said that they had discovered something, but she wasn't aware that it was something like that. ]

I admit I don't know much about that sort of thing, but hearing about it makes me sick to my stomach. That's not something you do to children.

--but it makes no sense.

If he just used children, why are there so many adults here?

It's not something that should be done to anyone. [Pause.] Beast Boy-san mentioned that Kite was doing research on our powers and that he might be able to use them...that's probably why we're here. They want our powers for something else. [World conquest, maybe? He did mention something about worlds being destroyed too, after all.]

And what of the people who have no powers?

[ Rin asks the next obvious question. ] There have been people from different points of time and worlds. Some without any supernatural ability. I had an ally here who was a gladiator and while he was strong, it was a strength that any man who endured what he did would be able to acquire on their own.

It's not something that can be easily taken away.

I'm not sure. [He's had friends without powers too: Hori, who has since been returned, Miyamura and Ishikawa too...] But even if they don't have anything to be taken away, it's safe to say that they serve some purpose. [Brief pause; the next bit would have been more uncomfortable to think of, if not for the fact that everyone was about equal here more or less.] The people who used to live here had no powers too.

Is that so...

[ What was the relation between the past residents of Haven and the powerless ones that have been abducted now? ]

I'm... thinking over something before. No one has been given powers in this place before, have they? It's difficult for me to keep up with everyone since I dislike this stupid phone, but maybe you've heard about it from someone else?

I haven't heard of anyone being given powers, but that doesn't mean it won't happen. ['Never' was after all too strong a word to be applied to a company that had already broken so many absolutes.] I could ask Alphonse-san about it since he's been here from the beginning.

He has been here a long time, hasn't he?

[ Rin seems to be thinking the same thing. ] Might be best to find out what he does know. I've been told people can lose their memories of this place so the more who know these details, the better.

Since the beginning, he said. That's probably the reason why he made that book too, since anything could happen to us. [Pause.] Who told you about that?

Morgan. [ She has no qualms about spreading this information even if it was meant to be private. ] Have you met her?

She told me that Kite took away her memories and could do it at any given time. It's a threat we need to be aware of.

[That bit about Morgan reminds Minato of the encounter they had in the hospital. Was that what happened to her?]

She's a friend of mine. They've also been able to brainwash people completely, so it's important that everything we know gets recorded somewhere, at least- there's the danger of being noticed but it's a chance we'll have to take.

Yeah... but we should still make sure the information is well spread or else someone might be caught off-guard. Someone who we might not want to be caught off-guard, that is.

Wouldn't that be everyone? Some people might have access to more important information, but not everyone talks about what they've learned unless they're asked to.

There's no telling who knows what and how much of it is the truth. In short, I suppose gathering knowledge and spreading it is no better than gossip at this point in our captivity.

... What a pain.

It's still better than nothing. [But judging by the very slightly exasperated look on his face he must be conceding that she has a good point.] Some of those information should be more reliable than others, but we'll need to look through it carefully.

And there's no way to really do that without risking the spread of misinformation. At most, we can act clueless to gather opinions, but that would make us look as if we're idiots for not paying attention in the first place.

[ So that's not a thing she'll do at least. ]

I don't mind doing that, if it'll help in some way. Acting clueless might help us to get more knowledge too, since these people might not be paying attention to what they're saying. [On the other hand, he's pretty aware that very few people could claim to have a lot of information actually relevant to Haven.]

It's a mess and a lot of responsibility either way. Are you certain that you really want to be involved in it?

[ Just showing a bit of concern for him there. ]

It's a bit too late for that. [Translation: He's kind of already too involved to back out.] But it's not like that's such a bad thing either, even if I can understand why not everyone would want to get involved.

Great, so you understand if I bow out myself.

[ Leave it to her to try to get out of having responsibility of a potential mess. ]

Yeah, I do. [Leave it to him to enable her.] I hope something useful will turn up...anyway, talk to you later.

Yeah, later.

[ Something useful, huh? Now she's going to have to get involved somehow, but how?

He's got the gears in her mind turning now. ]
