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!))

[Chris's familiar Mercury the crow is up to his old tricks, flipping Chris's smartphone on with his claws and starting the video recording as she receives a certain bit of bad news.]

THE MINOTAUR DID WHAT TO LOWERTOWN'S WATER?!

[The words are so loud they can be heard outside of the house Chris shares with several other people... and down the street, probably. It's almost like a bomb going off. And then there's those of you who have to deal with it coming out of your phones.

Impressive, really.]

Need ideas for last minute things I should do on my birthday tonight.

I don't usually celebrate, so I'm going to take suggestions.

For the record, I do plan on drinking, at least a little.

Um, hey there. Ah, Ruby Rose, here. I'm new, but you probably figured that.

[Okay, she's definitely a little bit nervous. Ruby's not exactly what one would call a social butterfly - she definitely got comfortable enough with Beacon to make friends there, but that's not really relevant anymore. Once she had any downtime in Atlas, she didn't know what to do with herself. And now, THIS? Is a lot to adjust to.

She fidgets and clears her throat.] So, got a tiny question, here...

I think I kinda get the whole familiars thing, but mine is, well... it puts me in a bit of an odd place.

Basically, has anyone ever gotten anything that should be a soulless killing machine back in their world? That, I don't know, would've been born in power surrounding your world's greatest evil...? [That, back home, she has a power specifically meant to ERADICATE things like the Grimm, AKA the very form her familiar has taken.] Anything like that?

[She realizes she's being very specific here.]

Because I'll be honest, the fact my familiar isn't trying to eat me, or anyone around me, is almost more unnerving than if he was.

eightfoldfiend

[A deep, rumbling baritone voice speaks.]

I am here.

Who has summoned me?

(ooc: mentions of blood and violence in comments)

sighsheavily

Good day.

I've been told there was, at some point, an audience with this elusive King Arthur character. Kindly advise me on how to secure another one of those, be it public or private, as there are rather important questions that most folk I've met at the moment have yet to answer sufficiently.

That said, has going along with every other claim brought forth for the state of things here been going well for you "veteran" outsiders? Surely I am not alone in harboring a number of doubts about this setup.

Greetings, one and all. I have an... inquiry, I suppose I'd put it, about the ... rather ghastly quests we've been offered.

For those who've been here longer than I... are these type of quests normal for this place? Manipulating emotions like a child's plaything to outright murder... If we are supposed to be heroes intent on saving all the realms, I must say these actions hardly seem heroic at all!

[ After a moment, there's the gentle 'coo' of a bird off-screen. Maribelle hesitates, then sighs. ]

... All right, there is another reason I'm using this device. During the tournament, it appears my behavior was... less than savory. If I offended anyone -

[ The 'coo' is a bit louder this time. Maribelle bites her lower lip, then resigns herself. ]

... To those I did offend, I offer my most sincere apologies. I should have known entering would have brought out the worst of me, and yet I did it anyway, for the sake of greed. As a representative of my world, it is my duty to ensure I leave a good impression on all, and behave much less like a snob.

... Admittedly, the latter is difficult for me. For those who struggle with a similar behavior, I ask for advice on tempering it, lest I offend others again.

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. ]

madcuriosity

[Alice presses her lips together and is surrounded by many trees. Her eyes are a bit red and she swallows and takes a deep breath. She's clearly trying to have a "stiff upper lip" as it were.]

I... don't mean to worry anyone...

But I do believe I'm lost.

If I show someone everything around me, might you please point the way back, perhaps?

dragongrrl

Good morning, kupo! I'd like to introduce you all to my partner Barbara! She doesn't read or write very well, but she assures me that she doesn't need to in order to save anyone's world.

She would like to know if there is anyone here named Sol, Sarah, Dusk, or Aigis.

Also, she would like people to tell her about the horses here! She's seen people riding them and that they don't have horns to gore you with. I'm not sure why she thinks they would do that, kupo...

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 been a rough day at work for Kaiba, apparently. He's back at the inn after a long shift at the trinket shop. His small blue dragon is off playing in the background, apparently amused by the oddities her partner brings home. ]

If I ever meet the person who first coined the phrase 'the customer is always right', they'll rue the day I find them. I've seen how the base engine of the business world churns...and I regret everything.

But as much as I'd love to walk away from the grind and start a business that better suits me, I lack the capital for that escape route. So I'd appreciate any other employment recommendations...or, failing that, advice on the art of politely tolerating customer mistreatment.

[ Sometime during the month, an image is uploaded (the infamous LONG BREAD), accompanied by the following caption: ]

Assist me in proving a point to my unrepentant friend: this is not how one slices bread.

takoyakitori

[The video feed is of a mostly dark room with a window that's letting SOME light in, but not enough to really show much of Tamaki himself, who is mostly in shadow. From the sound of sheets and blankets shifting he's probably still in bed. He's not a morning person.]

I really didn't want to ask like this... But I don't know what else to do.

I've been here for a month but I'm having trouble sleeping.
I'm not used to it, it's too different from home, or the dorms.

If it's not too much trouble...
Does anyone... have any advice?

[He groans and then mutters "embarrassing" to himself before he cuts the video out to wait and see if he can get advice.]

inemeraldfaith

[At first, there is only audio...]

Hm... I think... like this and—

[The video feed turns on, revealing Aerith in all of her glory, wonderment gaze and more. She looks... bright. Cheery, all things considered.]

There we go!

[Lifting a hand, she wiggles her fingers in greeting.]

Hi there. My name is Aerith and I'd like some opinions onnnnn...

[She turns her camera to show off... her familiar, a Cerulean Drake.]

What I should name them. I'm still getting acquainted with things here, but this seems like a good place to start and a good way to get familiar with some of the other faces here.

I'm not very particular, but maybe something to do with the colour?

[She thumbs at her chin curiously as she looks over to it. No, she still doesn't have any ideas and up until now, she's just been calling it her 'friend.']

madcuriosity

Oh ah, hello and how do you do?

I beg your pardon, there is something I would like to ask: how does one go about asking for a job?

It is quite difficult to look for a job when you still have to go to school all day.

But I do think I should be able to help the florist once I manage to get a chance to speak with her. [Alice takes a deep breath.] But I've never done such a thing.

Do I just... ask the florist? How does one go about doing this? I certainly am well-spoken enough, and I know my flowers. I've never worked with money, though, will that be a problem?

dvine

I've been helping people clean up the streets and fallen buildings

I found this

[He uploads a picture of the... statuette? Of the thing he found.]

...I'm recording now, my dear. DO be quiet.

Ahem. Yes.

The New Year is a time, in my world, of celebration and setting new goals--new resolutions--of what you hope to accomplish and aspire to for the coming year.

Do you have any such goals? Shush. Yes, I know I'm sloshed-- They probably are too. If so, I'd love to hear them.

It is one of my resolutions that, after years of denial and silence-- [A slightly wet breath, the kind that preambles tears.] --after years of denial and silence, yes, I know I've already said that that I do not hide what I no longer have to hide, that I love freely and openly-- You're making me forget what I practised!

Oh, sod it all. [There's a giggle and merriment in his voice. Maybe he tried to hold his companions face in his hands. Maybe he tried to go in for a kiss. Who knows, this is just audio. You'll have to imagine it.] I'm absolutely besotted with you, you stupid, handsome demon--There. You vain thing. You got the handsome part in. Handsome, and sweet, and so very good to me. I love you, Anthony J. Crowley, and I want all the wide world to know, and the many, many universes. And I want Her to know that, and Heaven, and Hell, and everywhere in between. [He laughs. And laughs.]

I promised you I'd tell them, didn't I? You only brought this upon yourself, my darling wicked creature.

serpentinthegarden

Hey people.

[The man in the dark shades waved coolly at the screen as he sat on the edge of a small stone fence. It was freezing cold outside but in spite of the clouds that appeared whenever he spoke Crowley didn't seem to notice.]

We've all been brought here, had our powers taken and dolled out to us again in much smaller pieces... it's inconvenient, like being trapped in a baby walker... or trying to save the universe with your hands tied behind your back.

Point is, I need some volunteers who are skilled with Light magic, Healing magic, Animal magic, Kinetic magic and maybe another Elemental magic user who thinks they would be up to controlling sand. Think of it as training.

Also Angel, meet me on the Inn roof before midnight. Not sure it would work with an angel and a demon but if it does we could use some good luck for the new year.

[He doesn't know about the fireworks. Those are going to be a nice surprise.]

teaserving

look i get it we're all freshfaced in king arthur land and introductions are the way to go but i have more important shit to discuss

it was brought to my attention that there's a few kids here and it's probably worth figuring out how many of you there are
im not announcing myself as your designated babysitter just figure it's better to make sure you aren't scrambling to get by alone or something
especially since there aren't any handouts
