For anyone who knew her, Gandra Dee is no longer present in this world.

[ The feed comes to life with Tsumugi standing in front of a cute flower shop. Those who're familiar with it will recognize this as Don't Stop Be-Leafing.

Or perhaps "was" is more accurate. It's the same building, definitely, but with a few small changes here and there. Most notably, there's a new sign hanging above the door reading "Moondrop", and a NOW HIRING! INQUIRE WITHIN poster in one of the windows.

Tsumugi smiles at the camera, warm with just the tiniest hint of nerves - but he's okay, really! He's just not used to being filmed like this! (because yes, someone is absolutely helping him here, he wouldn't be able to maintain a visible feed on his own...) ]
Hello, everyone. If this is our first time meeting, then allow me to introduce myself. My name's Tsumugi Tsukioka.

[ He bows slightly, then continues. ] Those who knew her might already be aware, but last month, Aerith Gainsborough went back home. She owned the flower shop you see behind me, [ A small gesture with his hand. ] and in her absence, I've been entrusted with its care.

So I would like to announce that as of today, we're officially reopening as Moondrop. We still specialize in flowers, but we're now offering a wider selection of starter plants and gardening supplies. There's also a budding cafe space upstairs, if ever you're in the area and need a moment to unwind.

[ And, speaking of unwinding... his smile relaxes. ] Thank you for listening, and I hope to see you soon.


(( ooc: if you were working at Don't Stop Be-Leafing and want to continue employment, please let me know!! and we can handwave that conversation if you want. ))

For those of you who knew Eri, I'm afraid she has left the world. Given the recent development in Avalon, I'm sure that's for the best. It's getting quite a lot to handle for someone who's six.


On another topic, perhaps as a mood lifter, here is a video I took of our pet samoyed.

[Not like the girl wants this to be a video but Tuk Tuk and even her familiar insist it considering they seem to be somewhere in the Land of Rot / near the Dragon's Graveyard. And Tuk Tuk is a lot smaller, than Raya is used to him being back home but she still can't resist the puppy eyes look from him. Well, at least it's faster than writing any texts on her device.]

So... Tell me about dragons.

Local dragons, or any dragons that you've seen back wherever you came from, or any dragons, that you might have heard about from anyone, who used to be here or whatever else... Anything works, including familiars too.

[If this is one of those "does anyone else have x in their home world", she sure isn't about to share those details of her home world to the whole network. Just one dragon nerd asking questions... Also, if you happen to be around doing that same quest too, feel free to skip the network and come talk to her face to face.]

Hey, uh...

[ Fenton seems a little nervous as he appears on the network, looking somewhere off to the side. When he looks back to the camera, it's clear that he's worried about something. ]

Has...anyone seen or heard from Drake? Drake Mallard? He hasn't been home and I've been trying to get in touch with him, but I haven't been able to reach him. I keep getting a message that his device isn't in service.

[ He has an idea of what that means, but...he just needs to be sure. ]

Hi everyone! It's come to my attention that I'm.. not very good at technomancy, heh! But I've been practicing, and now I want your help to help me figure out if it worked or not! All you have to do is click the little game below and you should get whatever spell is hiding under the surprise cast on you, even from a distance! Pretty cool huh? I've got awesome spells like instant small healing spells, anti-badpoo spell, eggs, defense buffs, dry spell, and more! I told the phone to definitely only release the first spell you click on, so it's kinda like a game, right? Good luck!

FRIENDS! AVALONS! COUNTRYMEN! LEND ME YOUR EARS!

[ Della has slammed open the video, hands smacking the countertop - she's in Fenton's lab for this, probably definitely without his permission, but she needed a science-y background for this incredibly important announcement! To her left is her familiar, Amelia the moon rabbit, casually nibbling on some carrots. There's also wooden stand holding up a large stack of papers, meant to be folded back.]

I've been here for some time now - I haven't kept exact track because that would remind me how long I've been away from my family, again, and that's a can of worms we do not want opened - and as much as I've enjoyed learning about all the different worlds out there, I've also discovered something absolutely APPALLING! So many of your worlds... do not know the majesty that is... PLANES!

[ She rips off the first piece of paper, showing a detailed while still rather cartoony rendition of a plane - to be more specific, the Sunchaser... Er, CloudSlayer. ]

Behold! This is merely one - granted, one of the best - example of the most wonderful machines to have ever been invented for the purpose of transportation! Simply out, it can take you from one place to the other by traveling in the sky! Soaring through the clouds, weaving around mountains, defying the very wind itself!

[ Page rip! The interior cockpit is shown, Della borrows a carrot to begin pinpointing. ]

And, sure, just being a passenger is thrilling itself, but truly nothing beats the experience of taking the flight controls in your hand, running your fingers over instrument panels, and entering your destiny in the sky! Which leads me to my most important point yet!

[ Page rip! Very sketchy blueprint details, along with the $$$ symbol all over. ]

I wanna build one. FOR ALL OF YOU. A good chunk for me, but MOSTLY FOR ALL OF YOU. Because it's cruel that so many of you don't know this experience! Now, the problem is, while I've fixed planes before... I've never actually built one from scratch. I usually left that to my uncle Scrooge... who left it to his engineers... and, um, he's also the richest duck in the world, so as you can imagine, some steps in my knowledge have been skipped.

Now, I'm not expecting anyone to just hand over money and supplies willy-nilly. Which brings me to my final point!

[ The final page, which is a drawing of Della herself, with two thumbs up, and the words HIRE ME ]

Who am I? Della Duck, adventurer extraordinaire! I've mangled monsters, wrestled wraiths, and fought more pirates than there are feathers on my backside! And I've been doing it since I was a duckling! In this world, I've got Kinetic and Dark magic! Plus, during my time here, I've learned a ton of spells and potions and gotten all kinds of magical items that just build every month! I can help you on quests! I can teach you how to fight! I can babysit your kids! I can let you use me as a training dummy! I can be an extra set of helping hands for your chores! Name it, and I'm there!

Honestly, I usually spend most of December building traps for Santa Claus, but since that's no longer an issue for me, I've got tons of free time, so... let's take that first step making planes together!

[Okay, so it's clear what happened after talking with Aang and Zuko about this first...]

For those of you who knew my brother, Sokka, he's not here anymore. I'm sorry if you had any unfinished business with him or if you were waiting him for anything. And thank you for everything, that you talked and did with him during his time here.

But before anyone worries too much, Sokka's fine back home. He'll have some fun times waiting for him and he'll be happy to see everyone there again.

[Especially his girlfriend, but she'll leave that out -- besides, she's definitely included in everyone too. Assuming he's there and not in some other world, that randomly pulls people in just like this one. Anyway...!]

Also while I'm here... If you get any frostbites or other problems from snow, my name's Katara and I have Healing magic here but I'm also a Healer back home. So I can see what I can do about those, or flu or anything, that needs that kind of healing. Me and Sokka grew up in the middle of eternal winter, so aside from his recent snow post, I have lots of experience with snow and ice too.

[Not to mention she's obviously also mastered waterbending and she'll gladly talk about that anytime, but she's leaving that out for now.]

But hey, I'm sure Sokka wouldn't want anyone to be moping around or being sad about him vanishing from Avalon, so -- who wants to go penguin sledding?? Or whatever else there's to do with all that snow! Or if you're stuck somewhere or need any kind of other help with it, let me know and I'll see what I can do!

[Colette is not entirely new to the seasons, the different weather. What is new, more recent again, is being able to really tell. To feel it. The chill of the air in her lungs, the cold of the snow as it falls in her hair, at her eyelashes. She grins, laughing as she spins and twirls around in the snow. Because of course she is outside during this and trying to make the most of the weather. That is, she is savoring it. The feeling of the chill against her skin.]

I can feel it. The cold. Snow!

[She shifts then in raising her hands full of snow, showing a small snow bunny.]

Who wants to come out and play with me? I mean. I don't know how bad this might get, but for now?

[She. Might not be dressed for this. Her cheeks and nose and ears are rather red from the cold. She was just so excited about the snow and it isn't falling heavily just yet, initially anyway. So she figures she may as well make the most of it. Of course if it gets worse she would go back inside.]

[This ought to come as no surprise, really. Aerith spends a decent amount of her free time in the flower shop and usually if she appears on Avalon's network, it's there. That's precisely where she is on today's little impromptu Camelot interruption.

Resting on her forearm against front desk counter, she wears a smile, though it's a bit lighter than she normally gives.]


It's been a while since I said anything on here and I realised I should probably fix that. For those of you who don't know me, my name is Aerith. I run a little flower shop here in the business district of the town. I was in the middle of putting a nice little patio setup outside for people who come by, but it's getting a bit colder, so I think that's going to have to be put on hold until it warms up again.

[Taking a pause to sip from the cup of tea at her side, she sets it down before she continues.]

I know I've said this before, but if any of you have flowers or seeds from your home, for whatever reason that you would, if you bring them to me, I'll try to grow you something. I'm also really interested in trying to crossbreed some flowers, especially from anything that might be capable of surviving the colder weather. If you've already purchased flowers from me and you're having trouble with them, you can pay me a visit any time and I'll fix them up for you.

[After a moment's consideration, she sinks down a bit, shifting to settle her chin in the palm of her hand.]

And you know, with the weather getting colder, it's easy to get sick. Make sure you're taking care of yourselves. I don't normally offer this, but I have some healing magic, so if you find yourself not feeling well, I might be able to help you out there. I'm not a doctor or anything, but I like to think I know marginally what I'm doing. At worst, I can make you a nice pot of tea.

[That seems to be all she has to say because not long after, she turns off her video and audio feed.]

For those of you who knew them, both Makoto Kino and Haruka Tenou have gone home. A few months back Ami Mizuno also left us. I know I will miss them a lot. They are all from the same world as I am. I am blessed to still have Usako and Minako here with me.

[He's not sure what he'd do if he was all on his own. That would be ... different. Most likely he would be fine, but he's glad he doesn't have to find out.]

There's a garden in our house that both me and Makoto took care of. Of course I will continue working on it, but if any green mages would like to come around to practice their skills with it, that would be fine with me. It's nearing winter, so getting the garden prepared for that is very high on my priority list.

At least I should be able to give them plenty of light during winter with light magic.

Hi. The name's Gandra Dee. I was too busy healing people to reply to some of the network posts from before. I saw a couple of people making good points and I wanted to address them and add in a couple of ideas of my own.

[Though she's seen people giving her odd looks, at least Della, Drake and Fenton being here months before her means that the humans here are probably relatively used to non-humans by now.]

I'm all for helping, but we really should make sure we're better informed and not just blindly taking marching orders.

[She doesn't need to underscore how much of a disaster recent events were.]

Along with the news network someone suggested, I'm thinking a searchable database would be a good project. People with technomancy can work together on the coding, and anyone else who wants to help can gather information and write things up.

[And before she disconnects, she mentions one last thing.]

Also...healers. I've been working on a learning app and it's in the beta testing phase right now. I'd like to send it to a few of you to test and see if it's useful. Let me know.

I figured. I know things are a little more cramped right now, so I hope everyone's doing okay at the inn! I only very recently figured my own little place, but. I hope it isn't too bad. But I wanted to ask too. I heard about some holidays, celebrations coming up. Halloween is soon, right? We didn't have it back home, but I gather it's where you get to dress up and go get candy? Sweets? I guess sort of like giving people things like Genis' cookies back home? It sounds fun! I'm not sure what to dress up, but I think I'd like to give it a try.

Oh! Maybe I can make something for Emerald too!

[The Familiar seems to, if possible, raise an eyebrow at that idea, as if she is Unsure on allowing this. But then. It's Colette and she is nothing if not enthusiastic, as she is with most anything. It's hard if not impossible to really say no. And then Colette all but lights up again. Which is just her expression as she lies on her bed, but also that might be more in the literal sense given her light magic.]

Ooooooh! I could dress up all the dogs at the café! That would be so cute! Maybe that would help them find a new home!

[.....Yup, this is why her friends all say the topic of conversation always goes out the window where Colette is concerned. She always gets distracted or the topic goes over her head and she misinterprets things.....]

Hey everyone, Monika here!

What do you do to keep yourself busy in Avalon when nothing's happening? I have like, no energy. I've barely left my room this past week, ahaha! I'm trying to get myself out of this rut, but it's like as soon as I decide myself to do something, I lose all willpower.

Also, I'm turning nineteen on the 22nd. I don't have anything planned, but I guess I'd like to at least keep the day from being absolutely boring. I'll take any and all tips on how to kill time and get yourself out of a low energy phase.

Thank you! ♥

[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. )

Two questions.

1. Does anyone have any ideas about how to turn a mechanical object into one which runs on magic?

2. Would people be interested in a social media channel of videos explaining science and doing experiments to determine the differences between Earth and Avalon? Like gravity, acceleration, states of matter - things like that.

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!

[Sokka just needed a drink to actually get some courage to post about the pick up line quest. Actually he hadn't felt like touching it with a stick before this since he was recovering from a broken heart. But now that he had actually had a drink, he was like why the fuck not..!]

Hey! Heyhey.... if I could rearrange the alphabet, I’d put ‘U’ and ‘I’ together.

[He starts snickering, because wow that was kinda horrible. Then he looks back at the camera with a grin.]

Oh... I got an even better one! Like the moon, my thoughts revolve around you.

[He laughs, but at the same time there are actually tears in his eyes. Is he laughing so hard he's laughing? Unfortunately, no, he's just crying while laughing. Until he's actually just sobbing and turning off the camera abruptly.

And that one drink he had? It was more close to three.]
