Good day everyone!

[Today, Jane has her hair up in a high ponytail and is wearing a yellow sun dress with a blue cardigan. She looks excited.]

I'm very pleased to be able to say I've been able to verify my blog page, and I should be able to start posting very soon. It's going to be mostly focused around the native animals and other flora-- that is, zoology and cryptozoology-based. I'm looking forward to getting started.

[It was something she'd always wanted to do in the previous world she'd been stuck in but had never managed to get a footing with. It feels somehow more attainable here.]

I do have my own priorities of course, but in the interests of a potential audience, do any of you have any suggestions for creatures here that you'd want to know more about? I'd love to hear them.

[She almost stops there, but just before she closes out--]

Oh, and Izō? I thought you might like to help me with this. Send me a message if you're interested!

[Then, with a cheerful little wave, she signs off.]

So I had a look at the quest board doohickey. [And she's still not sure she's cut out to actually tackle any of them, and is not going anywhere near the second one.]

And are we sure the rampaging movie buff isn't... well, I guess here it'd be cursed and not Artifact-whammied, but still. That does. Not so much sound like the course of action taken by someone in their right mind.

[The last few months had given Mukuro a lot to think about- especially with regard to her own death back home. One part still didn't make any sense to her:

What had she done wrong? Why had Junko killed her?

...It was with those thoughts swimming around in her head that she sent another late night message to the network.]

27 AUG XX, 0324

Reviewing the strategy from a recent battle at home. I want to understand the rational for the decisions taken.

A soldier is engaged in a stealth/undercover mission. However, they have made a mistake that risks the operation's success, and have not realised their error.

The mission commander is in a position to eliminate the operative to preserve their mission, without exposing themselves in the process.

Is that course of action reasonable? To put it another way- under what circumstances would you consider sacrificing one of your own men to ensure a mission's success or to prevent it's failure?

Don't feel you have to answer.

Hey, so, here's a fun question: Who else here has spent basically no time at all at a warm, clean, safe beach before coming here?

[ Steph happens to be recording this from the beach, so you can see how idyllic the place is. The waves makes a nice backdrop, too. ]

Follow-up question: How do you guys feel about fireworks, popsicles and s'mores?

Follow-up-follow-up question: Are you guys doing anything this weekend? Because it doesn't have to be a party for me to do all these things, but doing it solo just seems selfish. So, I'm inviting literally everyone.

[ She's about to turn it off when she thinks of something, and pauses. ]

Oh yeah, one more thing: I haven't been to a party that didn't end in disaster since I was 12. So if anyone tries something sketchy, I will personally hunt you down and break your nose.

That's all!

claudiometer

[y'all know the scene: room at the inn, so this is probably a noob. And indeed, the redhead dressed like a thrift store fell on her is a new face on the network.]

Hokay, so. I'd like a Word with whoever picks the stuff we get out of that box. A tool belt with no tools, I ask you, who makes a girl rebuild her kit from scratch?

I mean, I'd also like a word with whoever thinks 'dunk everyone in a lake' is a great idea, but I'm sure I'm not the only one there.

Anyway. What do people do for money around here, because I kinda doubt my day job is gonna translate.

So doom and gloom aside... I believe that there's a big problem that needs to be addressed here!

Why isn't anyone talking about the awesome gacha games on this smartphone!?

Warrior Stickman. Dragon Odyssey. Blood Empire. Strike Knights. There's so many mobile games around here and I see everyone is just sleeping on them! Do none of these ring a bell?! Have you all lost of your sense of romanticism and adventure!? We just had a tournament with Mario Party for crying out loud! Surely this has tickled your interests in video games a little bit!

For those who don't know... Gacha gaming is the ultimate pass time where you can play video games on your little smartphone here. Pretty self-explanatory, right? But be warn that if you decide to step into the world of gacha... It's a incredible hell that you're walking into. An all-or-nothing bloodbath where the strong live and the weak die. A path of carnage and broken dreams where 1-Star characters are devoured and forgotten by the irresistible 5-Star characters.

In a sense... Our society is no different from a gacha game, no? The strong and beautiful who live in high society are considered the 5-Star characters and we who have been drinking from the gutters and crawling through mud are the mere 1-Stars! But fear not 1-Stars... I, Tennouji Kotarou, the man who rules over common sense, am here to bestow my knowledge upon you! As the chosen "Common Sense Archon" it is my duty to pass on my fruits of wisdom!

So if you'd want a place to start, I can suggest that you play "Glory Kingdom"! It's one that I'm pretty into lately. Ever dreamed of befriending a cute goddess? Ever wanted to build your kingdom from the neck up? Ever wanted to team-up with a crazy tyrant babe who hates your guts, then slowly falls in love with you as you show her the joys of the normal world?!

Then this game is absolutely for you! They're even giving away free gems for new players who join, so what are you waiting for? Don't be a 1-Star, be a ★COOL STAR★ and join in the big sensation sweeping the island nation!

P.S: I was not paid to do this (though I will accept donations since I'm a little low on cash right now from my valuable gacha gaming research)! I simply want to share my joy involving a little hobby of mine! If you have any questions, I'll be more than happy to answer. Thank you. ♥

[It has been a bit since Claire had the spoons to address the network, but she knows when she's in a bad place, and knows that talking is something that helps her cope...so she opens the feed to make some sort of broadcast.

It sits open for a moment, the only sound the shifting of clawed feet on wood and Claire's breath. She hesitates, unsure of what she wants to say, until her familiar's deep baritone voice rumbles out.]

Ask the question, Claire.

[She sighs, and finally spits out what she'd come up with.]

So. I lost someone important to me. Pretty much the person that was motivating me to give a shit about...basically everything. I don't want to talk much about that, because that won't bring her back, but to those that knew her, I know she'll think fondly of you.

What I do want to talk about is finding that motivation. What has you getting up in the morning, this far from home? Why do you get out and do stuff? I wanna know what helps other people focus beyond just survival instinct.

[Claire pauses, starting to say something but cutting herself off before the words turn into a simple apology. Re-centering herself with an audible breath, she goes on.]

I know, I know, philosophical questions are weird and probably out of place on this network thing, but humor me, okay?

cooperatively

[Kitten’s been watching the questboard and watching the network, and they have some Thoughts.

And with the help of a little bit of technomancy and a shocking amount of awareness, they’ve filtered their Thoughts so no minors will be subjected to this.]

So how many of y’all doing this quest for Merlin are using it as an excuse to not be a fucking coward? You can say it’s just ironic or for the quest so it doesn’t matter how badly you fail at getting it out there and getting turned down.

Which fuck that, honestly. If you wanna fuck someone you should just say so instead of pussyfooting around cuz you’re scared. The worst that can happen is you get rejected and maybe your friendship goes pear shaped, but better than just pining and thirsting.

But, hey, if you’re not weak and you’re cute, feel free to hit me up.

[Nobody said they were good thoughts.]

[ Those scrolling past their feeds on this fine day will find themselves greeted with an image post. A singular image, in all its glory(?)...

That's it. Just that picture. Of abs.

Just abs. ]

[Ren looks a little bit different this month, thanks to a certain ritual. He's confused about it, sure, but he seems to be fine with it. Thanks Lunatia for teaching him this is actually pretty normal.

His condition isn't why he is one the network though.]

I'm sure I won't be the only one on the network with the a certain #MerlinQuest in mind, but someone has to get it started, right?

This is an invitation for anyone to come do the quest with me. If you're feeling shy, I can start us off~ But I would like to know who I'm talking to so I can personalize~

And before any of the spoilsports ask, no I don't feel ashamed. Why would I be ashamed of wanting to spread love and kind words around?

[ JJ's voice comes - well, loudly over the network. He's here, and he's excited. He's outside, if the background of trees and grass is any indication. He takes a seat on a bench, settling in and behind him is -- well, a moose. It's still pretty decently sized, even if it is small for a moose. ]

Soooo [ a hum ] - hello, Camelot! I'm JJ. And this is -- well, he doesn't have a name yet.

[ The camera flashes to three miniature eskimo dogs that he has with him. ]

And these are Charlie, Esme, and Luc. I'm working on a name for my familiar, but I figured it might be fun to ask.

So, show me pictures of your pets. Your familiars. Tell me what their names are if they have them or anything neat you want to share. It might be a little inspiration and honestly who doesn't love cute animal pics right?

[ He looks like he's about to turn off the device but then pauses - ]

Almost forgot! It's my birthday on the 15th, so in two days! So that means if you go do the hotel lobby -- there will cupcakes there. Chocolate and vanilla and maybe strawberry or something fun like that. I haven't decided on them all.

BEHOLD THE FOOL OF OWARI, THE GRAND UNIFIER OF JAPAN, THE DEMON KING OF THE SIXTH HEAVEN

i come to u all with a question!

so uh some lady who wanted me to pay for a "reading" back in that faerie place said my "star sign" was "cancer" the hell does that mean?

who goes around calling people cancers? thats super rude, right? so i was right that i didn't pay her, right?

seriously what gives?

notquitetamed

[At first all that can be heard is a tap tap tap sound of a bird trying to peck the screen to send a message to the network. Once done the message does come up.]

hw do ak female n dat?

[Said bird might be smart, but he definitely hasn't quite grasped human spelling and grammar. The nosy familiar is trying to get advice for his stupid human on how to ask a girl out since said human sucks at doing so and figured a nudge might help.

Then the sound of wings flapping can be heard along with Hawk's voice.]

What the hell do you think you're doing, stupid bird?

[Clearly he needs to familiar proof his place. Of course Hawk doesn't realize yet that the bird somehow figured out how to send that to the network. So after he closes the window the familiar got in through, there will just be sounds of him walking around and getting dressed until abut a minute goes by and the message times out.]

morns

( so, while everyone else is falling over themselves trying to please fae, Kate has a more important question; )

people from places with magic. powers. whatever you wanna call it.
this place offer the same variety of abilities as your home?

( talking to Riou has had her thinking about this. about the fact that for all the money that's been poured into research and development back home, there hasn't even been the faintest whisper of the kinds of things something like Death Magic can manage. )

fireandhoney

Turns out when one is bored, doesn't feel like drawing or reading, and has a familiar that makes silk, this is the end result.

[He holds up a braid of string. The string is pearlescent, and it's crudely braided together, looking like a kid's first attempt to braid their hair or make a friendship bracelet. One can also see four very large spider legs draped over his shoulders, though the rest of the spider is hidden behind him.]

I may have discovered the future of fabrics right here.

[He tugs the string a few times, as if testing its strength.]

asano_san

[Now posted to the right comm 😳]

Don't get me wrong I love to party! I'm always ready for a party.

[In the background of his video, loud music, a dim room, flashing lights, and an indeterminate mass of bodies in motion show he's at a party right now.

He leans in closer to the screen and his voice has the harsher tone of someone trying to whisper, even if he still has to almost yell to be heard over the music. His face at this angle is a bit sweaty, not out of line for someone who's probably been dancing, but also tired.]

But something's strange about this one!

[Another partygoer stops just behind him, their head tilting to consider him standing there, not showing how much he loves to party. Turning his head at the sense of someone watching him, Keigo visibly twitches and throws his arms up with an over-the-top "WHOOOO!" His phone is still in his hand. Apologies to anyone who easily gets motion sick.

No, he has not looked at QuestBoard for a hint about what's going on.]

[Open to action if you want to say your character is also at the party.]

all_the_aangles

[When the feed comes on it's clearly accidental. There is a close up of a pair of eyes, and a tattooed blue arrow on his forehead.]

Ok, so, screen towards me. Check.

[They glanced sideways and there was the sound of paper rustling.]

So the apple...no, app is open, ok. That's what they said. Wait, is it on?

[He steps back suddenly, revealing a sixteen-year-old in orange and yellow robes. He's smiling, and waves.]

Oh, hello. My name is Aang, and I've just -

[It's then that it turns out the camera was not t all securely placed, as it tumbles off of it's place, with there only time for a 'uh-oh' to be heard before the video feed cuts out. Technology isn't his forte, really. And he's a bit...discombobulated, really.]

But, in person...

But he's actually very easy to find, given his garb, and the staff at his side. The miniature skybison flying around him in a slow circle hardly hurts. The pixie sitting on his shoulder might be a little more familiar to the local population, though.

He's had some encounters, of course - and as he wanders he city, taking in the sights...he is bound to have many more.

But for a little while - just a little while - he isn't the Avatar. He's just a (relatively) normal teenager, who draws very little attention. For the moment, at least, he can just be Aang for the first time in his life.
