With the influx of refugees, it's clear that things are rather strained when it comes to resources such as space and other supplies.

I was planning on organizing a sort of soup kitchen, if you will. I could use more volunteers who can cook, though if you cannot and want to help we could use the extra hands.

I think we have a good amount of ingredients to start. Though if anyone has an open space where we can set up a kitchen that would be more convenient than setting this up outside of my home as it's a little out of the way from where most people are. I'm also uncertain how the pixies living in our yard would take to an influx of strangers showing up.

I understand the outcome isn't what some of us had hoped, but having something to keep busy with helps, I find. It is fine to grieve the dead, but we also have a responsibility to the living.

[There's a video of a large, gray horse struggling to use her phone. She's managed to set it to video... somehow. But as far as using its other features? Well, it's pretty hard to do with hooves. The video shows a close up of her face, and then her nose as she moves around the phone device. It looks like she's inside the inn, but the inn looks too small for a horse.]

Is this thing on right now? What is it doing? What's it supposed to do?

Ugh, I wonder if I can find any place more comfortable than here...

Greetings, everyone! I have a social experiment that I hope you all humor me with:

The purpose of this is to speak about subjects honestly without the worry of revealing ourselves. We can talk about any topic you wish, but try to keep it fun and positive. Only comment anonymously! If you break this one rule and respond while logged in, I will freeze that thread immediately.

To start, please put the topic you wish to talk about in the subject line. There will be sample threads with different subjects to give you an idea.

Well then, let's begin!

( OOC: This is an in-character anonymous meme. All comments are anonymous in our characters' point of view unless stated otherwise. Just put your character's network username on the subject line if you want them to reply "logged in", but Eclair will freeze that thread. Eclair is just testing the waters a bit with this experiment, observing the humans and near-humans and their shenanigans. )

'Sup, Camelot Crusaders? I heard through the grapevine that the animal-mage-hunt is dead and done with, which means it's time for me to announce the party I promised - and a McDuck never breaks a promise! So this weekend, I'm hosting a gig in the Brocéliande forest to celebrate animal mages for all the hard times they went through last month - why there? Because this party's all about animal mages and animal folks like me, so I figured the closer to nature, the more animal-like we all are! ... Plus I just thought it was cool to throw a party in the woods where spirits hang out. How is that not cool?

But you don't need to have feathers or talk to squirrels to come chill, everyone's invited.

Be there, be fair, or be square!

Oh, and one last thing - I know by now humans and human-like people inhabit like... almost all the worlds apparently, whatever. So don't think I don't notice when you guys stare at me. It's totally cool, and I get it - so don't be afraid to ask me stuff about it! It's really okay! We're all the same on the inside! ... I assume!

[How... uninteresting. It's another shot of the Inn, but this time, there's a laptop in view with a cricket leaning against the screen, and a shaggy brown dog sleeping on the bed in the background.

A teenager with white hair and black roots sits down in shot, and waves a bit shyly.]

Hey, um. I'm Carlos, just got here, and I have a question. Does anyone have a Camelot in their world that's super different than this one? Archimedes back home is an owl, and Merlin has a long white beard and tends to whine about not getting to use magic enough.

Also... has anyone heard of Auradon? Just checking.

[The cricket makes a comment that can't really be heard, and Carlos sighs.]

Yes, Pongo, I know I should ask about school. I'll get there.

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. ♥

[The video starts with a rather blurry picture. What looked to be...fangs, bone and purple fire? Was Caster doing another ominous ritual??

But no- soon enough, her skeletal dragon familiar pulled back from the camera, tilting it's head at it before looking very satisfied with itself! It made the phone do the thing! Don't mind it rushing offscreen and making adorable baby crocodile noises.

At which point, Caster's own voice could be heard: ]

Little One...we've been over this. I am not comfortable addressing the entire Network so soon after-

[More insistent crocodile noises! Before another shot of the inside of the bone dragon's mouth as it tried to drag the phone over to her, dropping it on the sofa at her side. And well, look, there was Caster! Without her hooded cloak on, the shot was able to reveal her pointed ears and curled, golden ram-like horns either side of her head. She seemed to be focusing on studying a bottle of Counter-curse potion.]

No. I am not apologising for what happened in June, and I can figure out this ridiculous curse on my own without asking their advice-...hm?

Wait, that light on the screen means- Little One. Did you manage to turn it on by yourself??

[Ergh. She quickly grabbed the phone and- yes, that was definitely recording.

Well, with a sigh of resignation, she decided to just go along with it. She had to save her own pride somehow- even if it was lacking the usual confidence her broadcasts had in the past.]

Good evening, Avalon. I- for those new here, I am known as 'Caster'.

I gather I'm not the only one affected by the current situation. Whoever's responsible for this has a terrible sense of humour.

...Aside from trying to work out how to make my wardrobe accommodate this mess- [A gesture to her horns and currently ill-fitting skirt] -there's been another matter on my mind recently.

What motivations do you all have for trying to save the worlds? You don't have to be specific if you're concerned I'll use the information against you, but...it's something I've been trying to figure out for myself recently.

...

[An awkward silence as she tried to work out if there was anything else to say, before she ended the broadcast.]

sos_pilot

Okay, looks like not everyone knows about this, so I'm gunna try to get right to the point.

Apparently, someone put out some magic that's given some of you humans animals ears and tails and what not. Personally I think you guys look better that way. But now another dude thinks that A) an animal mage did it, which makes no sense, 'cause last I checked, animal changes can only do that stuff to themselves, and B) thinks the best solution to reverse what's going on by murdering all the animal mages.

Yeah. Solid logic there.

I'm trying to give a head's up here because not only have animal mages been attacked, but so does anyone who already looked like an animal, including yours truly. I've personally seen some of these money-hungry monsters go after kids, so, just to be clear, it's bad out there right now. So if you're an animal mage, or you've always had non-human traits, please be safe! Don't go out alone if you can, stay in groups!

I'm sure we can get this nonsense wrapped up as soon as possible, but until then, let's make sure no one messes with our mages!

[So this request didn't seem sketchy at all! But, well a quest is still a quest, and it's one she doesn't have to do much to complete. So...!]

You look so sweet that you'd put Neuhaus chocolates to shame.

[There was a small, embarrassed giggle that follows suit.]

Hm... I'm not sure about that one. Oh, how about, "I'd take you on tour down my river Meuse~."

peninhand

[ Monika started the video feed on an impulse. She'd been spending hours trying to work up the courage to post the quest in text form, but to no avail. Best way was to get rid of it without thinking. ]

Hey everyone! So um, I'm here about that quest from Merlin. [Okay, she needed to clear a misconception first:] It's not like I need it or anything, but I kind of get completionist instincts when I see a time-limited quest reward. [There.] And besides it could theoretically be very useful if you had a crush on someone and didn't know how they'd react to your confession... If that spell worked on them, that'd mean they're also attracted to you, right? N-Not that I have anyone like that yet, but you never know... A-Ahaha...

[ Gosh. Why couldn't she have shut it up after she mentioned the completionist thing? ]

Um... Anyway, that's a pick up line first, right? [She cleared her throat.] Well, u-um... Are you an overdue book? Because you have fine written all over you!

[ With that said, she marked a pause and looked away, her face red as a tomato. That was the best she'd been able to come up with... Thankfully, her best was incredibly lame. Surprisingly, it was more embarrassing to say stuff like that to an open audience than to a single invisible player. ]

As for a line that'd work on me... When I look into your eyes, nothing exists for me anymore because I lose myself in them. [An agonizing pause. If lameness could kill, she'd be dead.] I-It's pretty good, right?

beaumains

Hello, fellows! It's Sir Gareth of Orkney, again, and this time with a question that (mostly) has nothing to do with baking!

Namely, I'm used to living among others. Castle Orkney wasn't particularly large so my brothers and I were used to sharing quarters before we ever joined the knighthood, and then that was basically a barracks situation. And then, in Chaldea and later the Storm Border, all of us Heroic Spirits had to basically share living spaces, too.\

Basically, what I'm asking is; what is your ideal roommate? If you must share your living space, what sort of person would you prefer? I think I'll need to soon get used to more modern ideas of what roommates are like.

Anyways, thanks in advance for your time!

leicesters

Hi friends! It's me again. You'll all be thrilled to hear that I had a great idea.

What is this idea, you ask? Well... I want to throw a feast! In my homeland they're a great way for people to come together, eat ourselves stupid, and make merry. We could all use some of that with everything that's been happening lately. The spring ball already feels like forever ago, and not everyone was here to enjoy it.

There's just a few simple rules: you have to bring some food or drink from your world, or as close as you can get! And you'd better label it so we all know which foods are from where. [...He's not actually going to enforce this rule, he just thinks it'd be more fun. And educational!]

The other rules are absolutely NO fighting, and no tying each other to trees to get attention, no matter how fun and cute it may seem on paper.

[he's naming no names!! you know who you are!]

I'll send out the location of the feast closer to the time. As for timing -- how about the last day of this moon? That way you have no excuse not to prepare something, and spread the word to people who are bad at using these things!

I'm counting on you all.

Hi there.
I'm Dr. Takuto Maruki, and for those of you I haven't met, I'm a licenced counsellor in my home world. That means I help people with their mental burdens and prior trauma by offering advice and a confidential space where they can speak about whatever is bothering them.

I recently registered myself as a counsellor here in Avalon, so if any of you have any problems — whether that's with ongoing events here, your arrival, or even problems from your home world — you can drop by and chat to me. I'll do my best to help, or at least provide a space for you to vent.

I'm located on the outskirts of town and my office will be open every day. You can come as often or as rarely as you need! It's all up to you.

Well. Thank you for reading, and I hope this can be helpful to you all.

( ooc; the linked post can also be used if you want to thread out any sessions with him. feel free to just drop in there, or his IC inbox, if your character doesn't want to approach him on the network. note that any therapy threads may be replied to slowly, simply because they're quite mentally demanding, so if you want to handwave or work things out in advance, PM me or send me a message at exits#8071 at Discord. )

[The video opens to show Robyn sitting by the window in her room at the Inn. There are some craft supplies on the windowsill behind her, namely some pieces of white cloth and a pair of scissors. Robyn herself is holding a needle and thread, since she's working on making a teru teru bozu.]

Is anybody else makin' these...teru teru things? I don't like sewin' much, but I wanted to make some anyway. We had so much rain in April, it would be nice to have more sun. I hope those storm sprites will like them.

[And also because she wants to see a tiny fairy wedding outside her window. No matter how strange things can get here, she still gets excited about what she's heard in stories, including fairies.]

I can make the bodies just fine, but... [Robyn snips the end off her thread with the scissors and turns the teru teru bozu towards the camera. The face she's tried to sew on it has a rather crooked smile.] I can't get the faces right. Does anyone have any advice?

[Merlyn, Robyn's falcon, is perched on her chair and cheeps something to Robyn that makes her give him an exasperated look.] Oh, as if you know anythin' about sewin', smarty-feathers.

sos_pilot

Uh, hey all my party peeps. I was kinda hoping to ask for some advice, if you've got any to spare?

Back at that masquerade - major fun, by the way, would do again - we all got second magic, right? I was all, like, score, more magic! Except then I learned my second magic was... dark magic. Hexes, curses, shadow manipulation...

Here's the deal. Back home? I know one person one did all that jazz - especially the shadow stuff - and she's straight up evil... Magica De Spell. One of the worst people ever. I mean, if she ever came here? I'd be giving her nonstop punches to the face. I can give you more deets if you need, but trust me, she's called The Shadow Queen for a reason. Sooo learning that I can now do the stuff she does? Kinda made me feel icky all over. Like, I've never heard of someone using curses for good. Even the idea of using it on my enemies just ruffles my feathers.

But I know that's, like, super prejudiced and stuff! And I also know there's probably a ton of you with dark magic who do awesome work with it! So that's what I'm asking for - how to use my dark magic for good, besides fighting bad guys. I know I'll never turn into Evil De Stupidface no matter what, but, still, every little bit helps. Just whack me with the common sense bat ya'll have.

[The video cuts to Belgium wearing her fatigues and looking at the glass of pale ale in her hand with a thinking face. Drinking culture here seemed to be as strong as it was back home. Which made sense, given that this place was a bit like a fantasy version of England.]

I've been thinking, what is alcohol like in everyone else's home?

beaumains

[ Gareth, dressed in surprisingly comfortable looking athletic wear, breathing heavily and pulling from a water bottle, greets the camera with a wave, clearly in the middle of a late night work out.

Stoirm, her wolf companion, pops into frame briefly as well, nudging under her arm before she can even speak. She pants, clearly having enjoyed whatever workout she and Gareth did together, and eventually settles down after some coaxing. ]

Well, sorry about that. Bad timing on my part, I suppose.

ANYWAYS while I'm cooling down from training, I wanted to ask a less, well... pressuring? question? I guess. Since things feel pretty heavy lately, and I figure we could all use something nice to talk about.

[ A few more heavy breaths, another drink of her bottle, and... ]

Okay! So... what is your absolute favorite... baked good!

Cakes, pies, breads, deserts, biscuits, doesn't matter, tell me what it is, and why!

[ She figures it's a thing most people can talk about freely ]

schmisse

[ Weiss would have preferred to do this anonymously, but she wouldn't want to appear shady! It may be a sensitive or heavy topic, though, but... she wants to try and see what she can find out about this. ]

Hello, everyone. My name is Weiss Schnee. I'm a Huntress from a world called Remnant. [ A pause, and she looks away from the camera for a split second because she knows how strange the name may be for an entire world. There's a backstory to that, but she won't go into it. Her world's history isn't exactly something that should be blurted out in public. ]

I know that most have more pressing matters at hand, but I'm hoping you would give me a bit of your time—

I'd like to learn about the other worlds out there. Specifically, prior to finding yourself in this realm, did you believe in other worlds apart from the one you lived in to exist? Was it even possible to willingly travel from one world to another? I'm talking about portals or some other method of getting there.

Oh! [ She seems to brighten up when she remembers something. Right, now for a less serious topic— ] Has anyone else mastered the art of Siphon Magic? I'd love yo hear your thoughts on how you did it, and what things you can do with it.

Anyway, I think that's all I need for now. Thank you for your time. [ A small smile and a wave at the camera before she turns the feed off! ]

[Hello and welcome to another edition of "Sad Clone Seeks Answers" starring one Kaede Nolastname.

This time it's Even Dumber!!]

I'll probably regret this after what happened last time, but I've been doing some... Research and I keep coming across words and phrases I don't understand, but that the author's believe are universally understood and so they don't explain them.

So.

What's a crush? Why does it involve other people?

[Sounds unpleasant!]

raven_sage

[A panning shot of the outdoors; it appears to be a meadow by the river to the west of Camelot. Eivor speaks from off-screen]

Yes...this will do.

[The screen turns to Eivor's face; she appears to be walking as she speaks.]

The Fae Queen makes her demands and Arthur would have us mired in endless debate, but I know my course of action. Our worlds are frozen in a moment without end; I have seen this calamity for myself thanks to Ardenbury-thegn's boon. I will not waste time on debate, or to submit to these demands of trials and trade.

In my world, the kings of Christian lands pay the Danegeld, tribute offered to raiders such as our own to keep their lands from becoming our hunting grounds. Even the great emperor of Miklagard who supposedly stands above those kings pays us our due. Those who do not, we overrun and take what we wish from them ourselves. As with them, so will this Queen Mab.

Here, in this field I will build a longship, with oars to row up-river, to Celliwig. I will have warriors with me. We will find a village, or some other gathering of Mab's Fae, and we will burn it. We will burn their homes, we will burn their fields and we shall take anything of value that we like. We will send a message to Queen Mab that she will pay our Danegeld; whatever relic, knowledge or power that she possesses that will help undo this calamity, she will surrender...or all of Celliwig becomes our hunting ground.

I need warriors for this raid, and to assist in the building of the longship. We must transport the materials from Camelot to this location to build the ship. The Fae are said to possess illusions, and I will need people with the ability to dispel this magic. I know such power exists, and we will need it for this venture to succeed.

Come with me, and your reward will be this; whatever you take, you keep. Your spoils will be your own. If any Fae draw their blades against you, deal with them as you like, as warriors, and take from them what you will. But know this, any Fae who flee or cower before us, they are to be left alone. Anyone who takes a life in such dishonour will forfeit their spoils and will answer to me, besides. This is about sending a message to Queen Mab that we will not submit to her demands or dance to her song. And we will need someone to deliver that message to her.

If you would join me, come to the docks at New Camelot. That is where the materials we will need for our longship are. And we will make ready to go a-viking.
