(She is pale and resolved; this is not a woman who is unaccustomed to strife.)

This seems the quickest way to go about my search. (And since her physical stamina hasn't completely returned.) I am Padmé Amidala, Senator of Naboo. Am I known to anyone present?

(She wants to be known. She doesn't want to be known. She wants a friend. She doesn't want anyone to touch her.)

It's not terribly important. (But it is.) Of course we can get to know one another. If you wish to speak, I will listen.

Has anyone been noticing weird stuff at the school lately?

Cause, I have.

I was studying kinda late last night in the library, and a pile of books just fell over. And earlier when I was walking in the halls, I heard this kind of moaning, wailing sound.

I got up to check something and when I came back all my stuff had been messed with.

I dunno if it's someone's idea of a joke or something else, but it might be worth looking into.

Maybe.

Just thought people should know if they want to look into it.

[The video feed cuts to a rather pensive looking man, somewhere in his forties. He could be heard mumbling about odd machines, and something about not really expecting the afterlife to look like this. Quite a few people should instantly recognize him.

And without any warning he starts mutter a poem to himself.]

( A Dream Within a Dream by Edgar Allan Poe. Cut for length )

how do you pick a name for something?

( in the continuing theme of Kate posts, this has no explanation of why she wants to know, nor in any way contains anything that would be useful in getting people to help her name her new business. )

Halloween is right around the corner. The season of spook and fun. So I have decided that it's time for another Concert, titled the Hallow's Eve Concert.

[Is that the reason why he has fake vampire teeth? That's definitely the reason for fake vampire teeth and the cape he's wearing.]

A lot of the people who performed at the Valentine's Day Concert are no longer with us, but I am certain we can still find a good amount of performers. There is plenty of time to practice your skills as the concert will be on the last day of October.

Questions and signs up go through me, Jinguji Ren. I accept all sort of performances, not only songs and music. Acting, dancing, magic tricks, poem reading... whatever you might come up with.

[He ends the message with a wink.]

Mark your calendars for October 31st!

'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!

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!

[The video opens to Junko at her inn room, all decked out in a cute summer dress and sparkly makeup- an attempt has been made to coordinate the colours, but it definitely isn't perfect. Maybe don't look too closely. She gives a wave and her best grin to start off- ]

Heeeey Avalon! It's been an age since I last posted, hasn't it? Did you guys miss me? If you're new here, I'm the Ultimate Fashionista Junko Enoshima, and I've got a super exciting announcement to make!

My channel - ENOSHIMA - is now live! I got verified back at the start of last month, but like, given June was totally cursed it took me a while to get things up and running.

I'll be offering all the best fashion advice, makeup tips and tricks and other such- so please come and check it out! And hey, if you have any suggestions or ideas for things you wanna see me include, let me know, I'd love to hear it!

Whilst you're there- I'm working in collaboration with Darin at Forge Ahead, and there's some seriously cool stuff being made this month, so definitely swing by and say hello. We've got a couple of new daggers in production, so I'll be making a video in the next few days of the best way to conceal knives under a skirt and look good doing it~

To celebrate the channel going live, I'll be hosting another fashion show towards the end of the month or start of next month- thinking of featuring swimwear and other cute Summer Styles this time around! Keep your eyes open for more details nearer the time.

I hope you're as excited as I am~!

[The feed clicks on to show Ami nervously looking at the camera.]

Hi, I'm sorry to bother everyone, but I've just come across a strange message as I was on my way to school. It definitely wasn't here yesterday so it must have been done overnight.

[She camera turns to show a large image of a walled area near the footpath.]

Does anyone know what it might mean? The twin snakes part could refer to the long thick cloud cores in space, as that's what astronomers call them, but then I'm really not sure why the message is here or who it's for.

I guess it could be someone experimenting with poetry...

writtendestiny

This is a question more for the people here who are the only one from their world.
But I suppose anyone can answer if they want to.

Who do you go to when you're afraid?
I've been in worse places than this, but being alone anywhere is a different kind of thing.

If there's nobody you know, and no one you really think you can trust with you when you're vulnerable, who do you go to?

I'd like to know. I want to hear some thoughts that are different from mine. Maybe it will give me some perspective.

madcuriosity

Oh ah, hello everyone, I do hope you're having a lovely day. I was wondering if I might ask a question, and since so many people here are from so many different worlds, I am sure someone is bound to know the answer...

Though I suppose I could always try it for myself. [She mumbles.]

You see, last month, Mr. Ken and I were discussing something, and I have been trying to find the answer on my own but I can't find anything about it in books. [Alice is still from a time when you looked in books for all your answers, not the internet. But hey, at least she's gotten to this point.]

My question is: Can you melt strawberries?

We were discussing making chocolate-covered strawberries, and Mr. Ken, in his usually pessimistic way [Calling out her adopted brother, don't mind her.] mentioned he might melt strawberries as something that could go wrong.

And I got so terribly curious! [Because of course she did.] I know you can blend strawberries and mash them and mush them, grind them and dice them and all sorts to make jams and preserves and jellies and drinks, but not MELT them.

So, can you? That is, can you melt strawberries? I do have elemental magic, how hot does the fire have to be to melt it? I suppose logically you COULD melt anything.

Oh! Oh are there things that are unmeltable? [She tilts her head and taps her lips.] Is unmeltable a real word? It doesn't SOUND like a real word. [Alice shrugs, quite used to making up words at this point in her life.]

In any case, any answers to my question, or oh! Perhaps help in setting up the experiment to see if strawberries can melt, would be much appreciated!

Thank you very much! [And thus, she curtsies to the camera.]

[Here, people will hear Ken giving a mumble or two before speaking up.]

Maybe I’m overthinking this but what are you suppose to do for your 14th birthday here? I know I’m no longer a kid but it’s strange to know that I’m not even an adult either.

I think there’s something I need to fulfill but I’m not even sure what it is at that age.

[He said before giving a sigh]

Tell me, how do you handle being a kid but realizing you’re getting older?

lunastus

Is there a way to ascertain who arrives to this place? A register of names, perhaps?

[The ethics in keeping records are numerous but he cannot afford to care.]

There is a child I must be alerted to should she arrive. I feel the details are best expressed in private but I welcome answers regardless.

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! ]

Hey guys! Today's a super special day! Why? Drum roll in your heads, please... It's the adorable Alice Liddell's birthday! And we may all be stuck in a weird fantasy techno world, but that's no reason not to have celebrations as important as this! It's a free for all, super fun, cake-involved tea party! With a cake made by the lovely and talented Makoto Kino! So, keep an eye out and come on down!

[ Della moves the phone so the viewers can see the outdoor tea party! It's... a little odd, with blue and white banners all over, tea pots and cups of all different shapes, sizes, and colors, and a gigantic pile of cookies that are definitely from those cookie trees. It was clearly made by someone who's never actually been to a tea party.

But, hey! Alice is there in the background, giddily giggling over everything, her cat Basil in her arms.]

Everyone's invited, so come give Alice a lot of happy birthday wishes!

[ A pause, and then she puts the phone back to herself, whispering. ]

... Also, what do you do at tea parties? Caaaause I'm not really sure.

((OOC: feel free to jump right into action and tag around!))

rediscovering

1. what do you know about job interviews?
i didnt know you have to interview to get jobs. even if it's just at a restaurant!! regardless of whether the job itself involves talking to people at all!!? stupid

[ Guess who's been bombing interviews as a part-time busboy all over town. And who's only bothering to ask about proper employment beyond random quests, um, now, after several months of just getting by...? He must be getting tired of stealing hotchips from the cornerstore. ]

2. what do you know about going to school as a full-time student here?
i heard you can make a living like this
insight about going to school in other worlds could be useful too. i was homeschooled....

[ But at least he's thinking in terms of solutions. ]

bendless

Hey everyone!

So apparently, now we can be influencers on social media! I just got approved to becoming one with my new YouTube channel! This is great.

[He seems very excited. Well he is, because this is best kind of job he can ever have.]

Anyone who is a geek about weapons or armor, this channel is definitely for you! I'm gonna be posting videos about different weapons... you can even make requests about different weapons if you feel like it! But I will also have quests to help demonstrate different things!

[Once things have calmed down with the doppelgangers and the ~~vorest~~ forest, there's something else left to be addressed. So, Claude addresses the network.]

Hi friends! Claude here. I haven't met most of you yet, so I suppose this would be a good time to say "nice to meet you", too. Hope your mirror images were nice to you and not... you know.

[Claude's sitting indoors by a sunny window in his treehouse apartment, his small white wyvern familiar snoozing beside him.]

As eager as I am to get to know everyone, what I actually wanted to talk about was the situation with Elphame. Since Arthur dumped the decision on what to do on our shoulders, we'd better figure out how to cast our votes.

( cut to preserve reading pages )

Anyway, I've waffled on for a while now! Long story short, I think our peaceful options are really the best shot we have at this, it's just a matter of deciding which is best. I'm really not interested in letting a violent old history repeat itself. Feel free to pitch in with your own thoughts... Maybe we can even come up with something better than what's already being proposed.

[He gives a lazy wave, before ending the feed.]

[ooc: threadjacking is welcome and encouraged! go wild]

scotch_egg

Right.

[Alec appears in front of the camera with an enormous rack, antlers, that is. And while they aren't out of proportion exactly (well as in proportion as they can be to an otherwise human head) it would make a stag take a second look]

I've had these bloody things a month or more. [and it wasn't the only thing he had, but he wasn't talking about the rest of it.]

That thing is no help. [he jerked his thumb at the spectral whippet shaped grim gnawing on a squeaky toy that looked like a strangled chicken]

If anyone has any suggestion on how to get them to go away, I'd appreciate it. Anything short of a saw. I've tried meditation-- I've tried sleeping more. [though he'd failed at both. Probably because of the damned antlers]

I'm out of ideas.

And I think I've got something else now. Magic I mean. How the hell do you lot handle all this? I just want to go home and read a book for God's sake.

[though which home he really didn't want to think too hard about]

[also he hopes no one notices the user name as he didn't notice it until it was too late to do anything about it]
