[Belgium sniffles, holding up a pot filled with poppies. Each flower a brilliant shade of red. It's honestly rather fitting for the day, but....

She let's out a small, cute achoo and even more flowers bloomed! Overflowing the pot.]

Um... would anyone. [sniffle] ...like some poppies?

[Makoto starts the video and it's clear that he's in bed and looking a little under the weather. But then, the video shakes because someone decided he needed to join in on this and parked himself right on Makoto's lap.

He sighed, but he immediately starts giving his dog pets between the big ears standing erect in curiosity over the camera.]

Ahaha, sorry 'bout that. This is Biscuit and not the point of this video. JJ's told me things have been getting festive, but I didn't think this place knew about Halloween? Or am I just assuming things? Is anyone dressing up or doing anything fun?

[A small, sheepish smile here. He's really just going off second hand knowledge here since he's been coped up at home!]

I've been sick these past few weeks so I feel like I'm out of the loop! Anyone wanna humor me and Biscuit?

It's funny to me how we have pumpkins running rampant and other sort of spooky stuff when this place has never heard of Halloween. Though sure, pumpkins are a part of autumn anyway.

That being said, advice to anyone who might need it: don't go trick or treating unless you want to get arrested by knights. This isn't America, going to knock people's doors asking for candy and threatening them with a prank isn't going to go well.

Hello, people of Camelot, Celliwig, Lestari, and worlds beyond these stars. I am King Arthur. I am sorry it has been some time since I have been able to directly address anyone. My injuries kept me away for some time, and the happenings that occurred while I was on the mend were graver than we could have expected. I am sorry for the tribulations all of you have been through, and would like to thank all of you for your strength and compassion toward each other in its wake.

To that end, I have been in long-hand communication with the Queen of the Fae in Elphame. We have been writing since the Hall of Mirrors was compromised, and with these new incidences she has agreed to offer safe passage should we clean the Forest of the Felled of all of its trappings. Though some of you may have been in the first party at the start of the month, rest assured I shall be leading a party alongside Glewlwyd at the start of November. Success will result in an order for even the Unseelie to allow us safe passage and we shall be invited to Nicnevin, their capitol, for winter solstice celebrations.

I shall have a list of recommendations for entering fae lands released to all of you, as there are some dangers that we are aware of that do not exist on this side of Avalon. In the meantime, I open the floor to questions from those interested.

[ OOC NOTE: Arthur will reply to new top-level comments posted before the end of the month in order to maintain feasibility for mod replies. Threads posted 11/1 or later will not be responded to. Any threads started before that time may be continued after that, but may be cut short due to this being an AMA-style post. Arthur has a kingdom to run, he can't stay online all day! He also will likely not reply to flat-out rude/troll-y comments, though you're welcome to post them if you just want to show your character's response. Thank you! ]

I know we wanted to clear the forest so we can travel through it, but what happens to the souls currently in the forest when the giant is done with it?

[Just a thought put out there, even if he doesn't sound too happy as he says it.]

Not that there's anything we can do about it now. Not with the amount of people 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. )

Okay, I know that this is a little bit rushed on my end, but I was practically buried with work for a few days recently that I nearly forgot about it. Because tomorrow, July 31, happens to be my birthday: so that means that I’m now legally an adult at 18 years old and maybe old enough to drink, although I just don’t really know what the legal drinking age is in Camelot.

Now I just want to tell you guys to not buy me gifts: it’s not that necessary for me at the moment, but just a nice birthday greeting will just do it for me. I do hope that you all have a really good day ahead of you.

[Archer is well aware that some people will definitely recognize who this is, but he would still rather stay behind the mask of anonymity with this particular subject.

He's been thinking about his name. What people should call him. What his real name is now.]

Hypothetically, if you had thrown away your name for any reason and picked up a new one, would you still consider your previous one yours?

Especially if you lost your reason to hide behind the other name and don't need to hide who you are anymore.

Would you return to your previous name?

[What's this? Looks like a video of a girl with twintails hairstyle in a red and black outfit smiling at the camera.]

Hello! Do you like food? Then listen up, because you really want to hear this!

My name is Rin Tohsaka -- but just call me Rin -- and I'm here to tell you, that me and Archer have been working on something and we'll be opening it soon.

It's called Fortune Panda and it's a mostly Chinese restaurant. Why just mostly Chinese, you ask? Because I'll be cooking Chinese but he'll do whatever he feels like doing, so there will be other kind of food on the menu too.

And if Chinese isn't your thing, I say challenge him into cooking whatever you feel like eating! And if you like Chinese but something, that you like isn't on the menu, then challenge me into doing that too.

[Okay, so she had to pull challenges into this too? Well yes, of course because Rin is a lot about winning those. But really, you can request things from them!]

Here's our address. [Imagine it right here.] So, I'll see you all there from tomorrow on~!

[OOC: This is backdated to a day after whenever they are back in Camelot from the event, Rin was there too!]

[Archer has looked better, but this is a post he doesn't want to leave for later when he's looking better. Besides, it's not like he cares if he looks a bit like a truck ran over him.]

I should explain my side of what happened with Caster. I don't owe it to anyone, but I just feel like it's a good idea to bring some alternative perspective.

[Not that he likes explaining any aspect of his life to the public, but here he goes.]

Both Caster and I were part of what's called a Holy Grail War, summoned as heroic spirits from the past or the future. Her life was ended by me, after I betrayed her for my own goals and purposes. I had no reason to kill her Master, however, as he could have just continued on with his life after the war.

[There was always a but. Which was the reason for all of this mess.]

But I did. Not because I wanted to, but because he refused to stop fighting. He might have wanted to avenge Caster as the two of them were very close. I had no choice but to fight back. Had he just walked out, I would have left him be.

[He pauses for a moment, kind of looking like in pain because who knew getting stabbed hurt this much (he did, he's been there).]

I would argue that I am not the villain of this story, even if I am the cause of his death. I gave him a chance to leave and he did not take it. Besides... compared to everything Caster herself did during the war, it was really not that much.

[If anyone needs clarification on that, they can ask. He doesn't start explaining.]

Oh. Rin and I are opening a restaurant sometime this month, after I've properly healed. Just though I'd mention, in case anyone is interested in some good food.

[OOC: Set after this network post and this log.]

(TW: Arson, Kidnapping, Death Threats, Magical Torture, Grief)

[The video starts with smoke billowing into the night sky, and as the camera pans down, the source becomes plainly clear. The edge of the Brocéliande woodland is ablaze, and the fire is starting to spread. Silhouetted against this ominous backdrop is the figure of Caster, using subtle magical manipulation to make her usual, heavy cloak cast an even darker shadow than it should as it billowed out around her.

Her eyes can't be seen under the hood of her cloak, but even in this darkness a broken smirk can be seen across the Witch of Betrayal's face. The twisted ritual dagger she held gleamed a sickening red in the light of the flames.]

( Hecate curse you all )

[ooc: The log itself will go up tonight/tomorrow for getting involved stopping this mess- note that if you have a heroic character who'd ICly get involved but you don't want to deal with this mess OOC, she's recording late at night in somewhere with ropey network signal, so feel free to assume the memo didn't get through or that your character couldn't track her down in the chaos.

Also- threadhopping totally welcome for this one.]

[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.]

unknowntodeath

Since food is always an important topic, I thought I would contact the network to offer cooking lessons for anyone who would like them. Basics or even a little bit more advanced.

I'm not a professional chef, but I have a lot of experience as I've cooked food for more than one since I was a kid. I can give some samples before you decide if the lessons are worth your time.

[Why is he doing this? Because he might as well help others to make sure no one starves. But also because he's bored.]

And you might have to deal with me being an asshole, as some might point out.

[There were advantages and disadvantages to using the money she'd gotten from carrying out Morgana's suspicious request in order to find a larger place to stay. On one hand, she had more space to keep her things and it didn't feel so cramped - she might even have room for a potion-brewing workshop at some point. On the other hand, yes, she had more space to herself, but it was Valentine's Day.

And she was here by herself, without the one person she wanted to spend it with.

After spending a week or so chasing around a man from her world who was responsible for her demise.

Desperate for something to take her mind off all of it, she took to the network to try and find a distraction.

Caster can be seen sitting in a darkened room, face and body mostly hidden by the shadows of her cloak. You know, because that totally didn't look ominous.]

For those who haven't met me yet- I am known as Caster. A pleasure.

As the people who've been brought here are from many different worlds, I can't help but be a little curious. Tell me, what myths and legends are the most well known, where you're from? What about those you personally find the most interesting?

I'd say that the Greek Myths are my personal area of interest, but... picking a favourite would be difficult.

[A hint to who she was, perhaps, but it wasn't as if she'd actually told many people she was a heroic spirit from myth - so it should be a safe comment.]

Either way, feel free to share. I'm curious to know who's myths overlap with the ones I know, as well as learn a little about other people's worlds.

[There was a short pause, before a dark smirk comes into her face. She may have been just a little bitter about the whole cupid arrow nonsense.]

...Ah, and Archer? If you're watching this, I will make you regret humiliating me with those arrows of yours-!

rutilance

Hello. [ The voice is young, likely a child. ] I am hoping to learn how to do archery, but I don't know where I could find an instructor. If anyone knows someone who can teach and doesn't mind teaching a thirteen year old how to use a weapon I would appreciate the information. And just in case anyone wants to complain that a teenager is looking for training in a weapon because you think teens shouldn't fight, I would suggest looking around and realising that we have to defend ourselves, [ She wasn't 'subtweeting' Darin, just people who would have his initial reaction to her knife. Honestly, if he's as good of a smith as he says he is she'll probably ask him to make a bow for someone her size... Maybe. ]

avalonmods

As promised.

Arthur Pendragon, ask me anything. AMA, as it's called.

[ MOD NOTE: Arthur will reply to questions as best as he can with a couple responses per person. He has a lot to continue catching up on and learning himself so he can't continue conversations with everyone at leisure, but he wants to let everyone get to know him. New responses will be cut off after the 29th. ]

[It's pretty early in the morning when Sherry sends out her message. She was still trying to really 'get' the network, but it was starting to make sense.]

[Also no one should make fun of her awesome 1998 style username.]

Hi. Good morning. I'm Sherry Birkin. I only arrived here a few days ago so I don't really know anyone yet...

Which I guess makes this a strange question but I-

[There's a pause because of a very audible yawn.]

Oh! Sorry about that. Okay. Does anyone have advice on what to do about getting rid of nightmares? I've never really had them before but they're...pretty bad right now.

If not it's okay. I'm sure I can get used to them.

Thanks though.

[There's another yawn that cuts off midway as she disconnects.]

monostich

Apologies for being... One of many new posts, and I'm sure it's a question that's been asked before, but...

[The man on the video trails off for a moment, hesitating.]

I'm unfamiliar with this "cognitive" type of magic - things like elemental and kinetic seem similar to magics from my home world, but I can't say I've experienced anything like this before.

[So, of course, he has to end up it! Seems just his luck.]

So if anyone with any experience has any tips on... How to control it and how to improve, I would greatly appreciate it. I'm not sure what I can offer in return just yet, but hopefully we could come to an agreement?

[He's broke, okay, and it's not like he has anything from home he could bargain with either. All he has is the shadowy cat perched in his lap, three eyes focused on the camera and tail flicking lazily.]

Regardless, thank you for taking the time to... Watch this.

[Hello network, there is one stoic looking girl posting a video here today. She seems to be somewhere outside, maybe in a park and texting would have been easier with her social skills but well... She'll just get to her point and get this done this way.]

I'm looking for sparring partners for martial arts or any magic against elemental magic. No idea which style my combat skills are since back in my world they really didn't pay attention to things like martial art names -- though it's most likely a mix of some styles.

My blades didn't come here with me but if locals or anyone else can borrow a sword or other weapons to me, then sparring with those could be an option too.

[ ...and it sounds like that's it except after a silent moment she realizes it's still missing something.]

Oh and my name's Mikasa.

[She could have texted all of that, yes, but the next part is why she is posting a video today.]

Or if sparring isn't your thing, you could meet her. [She turns the camera to show this puppy.] Her name's Snow and she has tons of energy for running around all day, that she could use for socializing with people and other pets if anyone else has them here.

[Anyone, who works / visits at the stables may have already met the dog and seen the girl as she works there too.]

Anyone heard of this place bringing people back from the dead?

Just curious.
