I am quite tired of hearing so much drivel. Death is meaningless here, that much is known to be a fact. Even if you get so ill to the point that your body shuts down, the Malnosso will simply revive you in order to obtain more information about you. In fact, it is highly likely that the Malnosso are the ones who brought about this plague in the first place.
With that in mind, perhaps you could stop whining about the inevitability of your death or the death of others, as it is becoming very irritating very quickly.
You are all such fools.
[[ooc: Ryoko's quite angry, so she'll probably be even more blunt and insulting than usual, just as a warning to anyone who wants to reply~]]
...I'll have to be more careful now that she's here. No matter how limited her powers may be, it would be a mistake to have her accidentally activate them. I'll play along with her investigation for now. Who knows? I may be able to extract valuable information from the endeavor myself.

Miss Suzumiya, have you recruited anyone else for the...Malnosso-capturing?
I take it you are all happy to be back in your own genders, though I cannot imagine why you would all be so horrified in the first place. For some creatures, namely barnacles, the ability to swap genders at will is essential to their survival.
Besides, is it not commonly believed that no matter what you look like on the outside, you are still "you" on the inside? Your reactions are all...truly puzzling.
Perhaps it is a good thing I came here. I have learned far more about humans here than I ever did at North High.
//Private - 99% Unhackable//
You were right...Yuki Nagato.
...I am quite frustrated. I had assumed that by being transported to such a world as this, I would be able to witness more significant events than an occasional dangerous occurance.
Private//Extremely Hard to Hack
If I still had a mission, this is where I would begin to kill.
Additionally, this snow is becoming quite troublesome to walk in, and the temperature is slightly below the recommended value. I suppose that I should simply be relieved that nothing more troubling than this is happening.
......
It appears I have returned...
...From what I have gathered, I was kidnapped by the Malnosso and presumably experimented on. However, I was unconscious for most of the experiments, and so have no recollection of the exact methods they performed to extract information from me, or what it was they extracted.
Oh! Koizumi-kun, are you all right? I apologize for my sudden disappearance, but I would just like to let you know that I appear to be fine. I have no physical damage, and my mind is completely stable, as well. I would appreciate it if you would respond as soon as time allows, so I know you have not been taken, as well.
Still, I suppose their presence was better than the flood. This is what humans call "looking on the bright side," correct? I am trying to learn more colloquialisms and I need practice.
I can only assume this is what the Malnosso were referring to when they wanted to alleviate our "depression."
However, depression is a mental condition that cannot be cured by simply growing flowers, so I cannot comprehend their meaning. I must conclude that these Malnosso are clearly not as intelligent as they view themselves to be.
Sakura, are you alright? I have not heard from you in a while, and I am worried.
I do not like this course of action. There is a 54% chance of failure. However, the current situation leaves me no choice.
...It would be easier if I had help, though I am not expecting any.
[Silence, followed by a metal clang]
...I dropped my knife.
[Scraping sound]
That's better. This is my only weapon. Though I do not think that anyone would be foolish enough to venture from their home to attack me...
This is only my battle instinct taking over. I must attempt to calm myself.
ATTEMPTING TO OVERRIDE PANIC MODE.
...SYNTHESIZING COMMAND...
PROCESS ABORTED HALFWAY THROUGH. UNABLE TO COMPLETE OVERRIDE.
...This is troubling indeed.
It appears, however, that malevolent creatures called the Malnosso intend to drown myself and all the other occupants of this location by manipulating the weather to create torrential deluges of precipitation.
For Sakura, this means that bad people are trying to drown us!
I have performed 1730 attempts to access the Integrated Data Entity to materialize a raft or a similar safety vessel. Thus far I have been unsuccessful, and so I have terminated this action. I can, however, materialize my favorite weapon. This is quite serendipitous. This discovery indicates that my powers are not completely gone.
This seems to be the only glimmer of hope in this place.
I cannot differentiate between the rainclouds in the sky. This indicates that the rain is unnatural, and, as such, must be investigated. However, I have no theories as how to go about this investigation.
I must collect more information. Data collected so far is insufficient.
...
What do you think, Sakura, about what's going on? Do you have any ideas?
RETRYING LOCATION IDENTIFICATION PROGRAM.
...
IDENTIFICATION FAILED. LOCATION UNKNOWN.
I cannot seem to find where I am on any known human maps. My GPS system is broken.
ATTEMPTING TO ESTABLISH LINK TO DATA INTERFACE...
ATTEMPT ONE INITIATING...
ATTEMPT FAILED. ATTEMPT TWO INITIATING...
ATTEMPT FAILED.
I cannot control this data space. It seems I am stuck.
...And I am in a dwelling. A human dwelling.
I must investigate further.
