'11 May 27	XX2: Perfection [Video]	--
Asch makes a triple-layer ice cream cake.
Guy compliments Asch, who is mentally ten and supposedly doesn't have a problem with this girl who committed cake-homicide. Asch discovers the girl is named Rita through means that are a little more than completely obvious. Rita responds. The cake argument ensues before rapidly devolving into... Asch insulting Rita's cooking skills and indirectly comparing her cake to vomit. It ends with much back and forth that's something like, "Shut up!" and "No, you!" Yuri compliments the cake. Asch realizes that he's not fully prepared to respond to people who aren't really involved in the matter and thus plugs Hymns of Lorelei. Luke also sees the cake and hopes for a piece that Asch isn't going to give him, and Asch plays big brother. They inevitably share a piece of cake.
'11 May 28	Married to Guy [Video]	--
The "Till Death Do Us Part" Curse.
Asch and Guy prepare for a one-year marriage anniversary! A beautiful day of reliving falsified sentimental memories of love and devotion that ends in a night beneath the stars. The two wake with great horror the next morning, Asch can't simply brush the event aside and inevitably moves into his own apartment.
'11 Jun 8	XX3: Vulnerable [Voice]	--
A cursed Asch reveals his greatest weaknesses.
[This post is backdated to Jun 8.] Guy responds and immediately heads to Asch's apartment, where they attempt talking stuff out. Guy makes sense, Asch does not, and the heated discussion reaches a climax. Rita responds and is kind of shocked that Asch can do more than just yell at people! In fact, he's kind of pouring his heart out and talking about the way things were in Auldrant. Some guy responds with his observation. There's really nothing else to say on the matter. Shas'la Kais responds to relate similar feelings of lacking direction.

Wait. Was that Luke stealing!?
Asch disapproves of his replica being chased and beaten by villagers and probably will let him have it later.
'11 Jun 18	XX4: The Score [Voice]	--
Asch yells at Luke for not taking care of Van. Then he gets some unexpected visitors.
[Posted for polychromatic's 4th wall event!] Asch has seen the video responses on Van's first network entry and is nothing less than frustrated with the replica. While the replica does not reply to the entry (probably because there are a lot of other things people to deal with, he does wind up meeting with the following: His mother (Suzanne fon Fabre). This is a surprise, and he hopes that she won't wind up staying permanently. Natalia Luzu Kimlasca-Lanvaldear. She isn't the same one who'd been here before whose room is in Luke's apartment. Nevertheless, he is more than happy to see her simply because it's her. Sodia. She replies to the entry, and they rendezvous to share info. Arietta the Wild. He'd have gotten her something to eat, but she keeps pressing on to whether or not Asch had already betrayed Van. The answer being, "Yes," but not verbatim, makes them enemies.
'11 Jun 21	Reply to ???? [Text]	complete
Asch attempts to ally with a seemingly level-headed new arrival.
???? (Rose Lalonde) didn't return to where she came from after one of the City's population influxes. She seems to be seeking for information in a rational enough manner.

'11 Sep 25	XX7: The Dissatisfying Ending [Video - Accidental]	--
The device takes it upon itself to announce Asch and Luke's return to the apartment after their expedition.
Asch's discussion with Luke gets sidetracked when he finds the communicator posted the beginning part of it on the network. Now, he just wants to get things over with and call it a night. Eagle Vision replies asking about how the expedition went. Tyr McDohl asks about Luke almost dying. After Asch explains that Luke's body is breaking down even without his using hyperresonance, he refuses to expand further on the reasons why and hangs up on Tyr. This guy (Caspian X) asks what the journey was like, but Asch is far from an epic storyteller. Rita asks about the journey and concludes that it was completely useless. Asch doesn't want to agree with her, but he does think that it was, for the most part, a huge waste of time. Estelle (Estellise Sidos Heurassein) asks about the expedition and begins asking about Asch's reference to 'the replica'. Unwilling to discuss it much further, Asch winds up reminding her of the importance of the expedition party's safe return and leaves it at that. Yuri teases them some more.
'11 Sep 28	XX8: Generosity [Video]	--
A cursed Asch overhauls his wardrobe for some winter fashion and donates old clothes to whoever.
This guy (Huey Freeman) wonders what's the occasion and shows he's jaded from being in the City for over two years. Some other guy (Mikura Kazuma) checks out the donations box and decides nothing's really his style. Luke is wondering why Asch took it upon himself to give his clothes away as well.
'11 Sep 30	Reply to ???? [Audio]	incomplete
Asch can relate to not remembering things a past 'self' did in the City
???? (Fujioka Haruhi) expresses how it's somewhat disconcerting how some people keep memories of being in the City while others don't.
'11 Oct 2	XX9: Escape Plan v.1.5 [Video]	--
Knowing it's another population influx, Asch waits up at the fountain in hope of meeting his mother Natalia important people.
[Posted for polychromatic's 4th wall event!] Noting the City is once more undergoing a population influx, Asch decides to wait for people who might be familiar to him. He'd prefer said people be on decent terms with him, but one can't always have what he wants. Especially Asch. Although he doesn't get to see his mom again (darn), he does meet up with the following: Worf, son of Mogh. Well, that's certainly a different breed of person. Asch can't help wondering if he has some unusual head condition. Raven. Uhh. What a weirdo. Kasumi Fuu. They wind up talking in circles. Natalia Luzu Kimlasca-Lanvaldear. Yet again, Asch winds up meeting her. This time, she has recollection of the City. She has been all over Kimlasca as well as the rest of Auldrant, and he takes her all around the City for as little time as they have. Luke fon Fabre (genderbent). She is supposedly Luke, but she's female and... isn't quite like the replica at all. Tear Grants. Another version of Van's sister who has apparently been in another world called Facility. Shiro, a kid who asks if he could take Asch's lunch before he could finish it. This kid apparently doesn't know what shops, money, or pockets are.

'11 Nov 12	Reply to Luke [Voice]	incomplete
Asch sees what looks like a female version of his replica.
...Is it really him? As in, the one he forgot a couple days ago who's been in the City all this time? Yup, it turns out the replica is cursed, and it is all the awkward.

Asch asks about cherries that don't grow in the ground.
Of course, this was in reference to groundcherries, and Asch felt kind of stupid for not thinking about that. Nevertheless, this sparks his first conversation with Rapunzel, a girl who happens to work at the Golden Jade. It's a restaurant/tea shop that's been around the City for a while now. Maybe Asch should check it out.
'11 Nov 20	X11: Baticul Twilight [Text]	--
