Hi~ii~ Now this is an experience, being in a human body. In a male body, even. [He chuckles.]

I'm Princess, Ren Jinguji's familiar. Usually the small fox fairy following him around. He gave me a permission to post here [Press X to doubt.] if I got bored and well, it's taking such a long time for him to come back I decided to check how you all are doing. Like, other familiars in human bodies?

[He shrugs.]

That is, if any of you are looking at the phones even. I'll talk to anyone, really. Tell me about yourself or about your familiars if you're just a human. I'm more interested in other familiars.

Greetings.

I am writing this message and posting it on AOL in search of assistance. ●︿●

In my homeworld, I was a powerful and useful being. The role I fulfilled was essential and unique. I was not well-liked and was akin to what you humans would call an outcast. Yet, I took pride in knowing I always worked hard and accomplished my duties to the best of my abilities. None could do what I did. It was enough for me to feel content with my existence. (´｡• ω •｡`)

Initially, I thought of my stay in this world as a dream come true. But it has become evident none of my skills are of any use. What I excelled at has no meaning here. Worse, attempts at working hard in other domains have fared poorly thus far. My lack of expertise in ways that are considered "common" here is proving to be a detriment. Rather than do good, my hard work is a nuisance. Innocents invariably end up getting in trouble because of me. (ㄒoㄒ)

In what many may call an ironic twist, I am more well-liked and accepted in this world than in my own. But rather than being filled with joy, I feel unable to accept such kindness. Not when I am not contributing as I should, not when loved ones suffer because of me. (｡•́︿•̀｡)

Thus I would ask for advice and help in surmounting this challenge. I do not intend to give up. But I am at a loss as to what I should do, and I refuse to be any more of a bother to those who have already suffered because of my failings. （＞д＜）

Thank you for having taken the time to read this message.

[February 6th comes and goes, and with it Jiro Yamada's birthday. Now both of Ichiro's brothers' birthdays have passed without him being there.

Despite them being frozen in time, Ichiro still feels like he's losing time with them. And it's coming out in his inability to cook for one person.]

i haven't posted to the network in a minute so - yo, this is yamada ichiro.

i made way too much curry recently. like three teenage boys worth of curry, and i can't eat all of it myself. if you want any come by room # at the inn.

open to anyone. thx.

[ooc; no formal log for this but lemme know if you wanna thread anything or handwave some interaction]

[Lorenz is folded in on himself, tucked tightly onto an armchair with his legs under him. He's doing his best to look as irritated and haughty as ever but there's a little edge of something heavier under that.]

Has anyone had much luck with potions work yet? [He holds a small, empty bottle up, some small trace of liquid still left inside it.] I've no idea what he meant to accomplish with whatever this is but-

[He's quick to redirect the camera before he either reveals how worried he is or just surrenders to his frustration. One is as likely as the other at this point. The camera pans down to show that his chair is tucked up beside a bed... a bed where one Claude von Riegan lies, suspiciously peaceful, clearly deep asleep. His familiar, a small wyvern about the size of a housecat, curled up on his chest snoring softly. Though she squirms a little when the light from Lorenz' phone shines on her, flopping one wing over her head.... and smacking it directly into Claude's face.

Not that he responds.]

We can't get him to wake up for anything and while I can't be too concerned, it's likely his own fault. Honestly. Always sticking his nose in things-

Well. Naira isn't concerned so I doubt he's in any danger but we need to be returning to Camelot before long. Of course he'd play with these things and not stop to consider how inconvenient it is for the rest of us cleaning up his messes. [The camera turns back to him, fingers rubbing at his brow as he wills down his annoyance. It's so much easier to be irritated than it is to twist himself into knots with worry.]

If we can't find a way to wake him I may have to ask someone far sturdier and more agile than myself to carry his sorry hide back to Camelot.

((OOC: There is no actual potion mishaps here but no one is surprised that's what Lorenz suspects. Flayn is hovering around Claude too so expect responses from one or both of them. Not like anyone is worried about this idiot.))

I'm afraid I must be brief.

Feral Hawk is no longer in Avalon.

To his friends, his employee Master Gokudera, I am truly sorry.

Thank you for your time.

Hi everyone! It's Taichi Nanao again!

I've been doing some reading and it tracks with what I know from my world: love is the most powerful kind of magic!

I guess real love is how you break a lot of so-called "love" spells! (It looks like most of those are like, attraction and obsession and something called bimbofication?? What's a bimbofi?)

What else do you think love can conquer? What happens if you haven't found real love yet and you get enchanted?

(Also, how soon is too soon to tell someone you love them? There's definitely someone I want to tell and I want to shout it from the mountain tops!)

★☆★ NANAO TAICHI ★☆★

[ JJ appears on camera, wearing a bright smile and... not much else. He's wearing exclusively his small pair of shorts. In the background is a pole. God knows where the guy found it. But, that will come into play in a little bit. He shuffles for a moment, and decides for a second to be curteous to put on a tank top to go with the rest of the outfit. He'll shift back towards the camera. ]

Sorry about that - It's been awhile - hello~

[ A wide smile. ]

To people who are newer here and who have been here awhile. I'm JJ.

I have a question for all of you, or something to think about. Being in places like this, sometimes there's no obligations like at home. So I want to know -- are there things you still want to learn while you're here? Have you already learned something? What is it that you want to learn?

Where I was before, I wanted to find something new to do, and ended up learning how to pole dance, well, and ballroom dance. But since I don't have a partner here today --

[ And that's when he stands, and shifts towards the pole. He carries the camera with him and positions it somewhere else so there's a nicer view of it. He places both of his hands on the pole and positions himself carefully and works into the first positon. He holds it there for a few moments, then shifts to the ground to change and move into the Butterfly. Only a couple moves for now because to be honest, he'd rather be chatting away. ]

It's totally worth taking up something new. And I guess I should say -- if anyone wants to learn to do a few things here - I'd be happy to show you the ropes.

[The video feed opens to a blurry shot of Rinea's porch as she turns it on, then sits back a proper distance with a smile. She has managed to center the camera properly this time: no ceiling shots or fingers covering the lens. She practiced! (Still, she looks a bit nervous.)]

Um.. Good day. My name is Rinea! I have a request to make. It's a bit silly, but I would be very happy for assistance nonetheless.

The truth is... I have been residing in Camelot for some time now, but am still unused to using... the internet. [Blush.] It seems a very vital skill to have, to keep abreast of the news! I've missed many an important post on local dangers! But I've still had trouble with checking regularly.

So-- would anyone be interested in exchanging letters, as conversational partners? I believe the term is "pen pals." I would enjoy befriending more of my fellow Avalon otherworlders... and I think having messages to look forward to will make it easier for me to remember to check the phone.

[A hah hah hah. Embarrassing. But still-- she will soldier on!!!]

I will gladly chat about anything, of course! But as for myself, topics I can speak upon include dancing and embroidery. I also spend much of my time honing my alchemy and potionmaking skills-- I would be very happy to share what I have learned there. I also admire gardens and their wildlife, but I have little experience in their cultivation... Oh, and music, as well. You know, the music of Avalon is so varied compared to home, it's a little overwhelming!

[Remembering herself, Rinea inclines her head shyly at the camera.]

Um-- Thank you for listening. I very much look forward to meeting anyone interested!

[ When the camera clicks on, it takes a second to focus, like the wielder isn’t quite used to filming, but the image becomes clear soon enough: a solid-looking door with ivy crawling up the wall on either side. On the door’s sole window, painted in simple, blocky black letters, are the words INUI CONSULTING. ]

It’s not home. [ Juzo’s voice comes from somewhere behind the camera. ] But it’ll do.

[ The camera suddenly switches perspective, landing squarely on Juzo’s barrel. As ever, he has a cigarette clamped between his teeth, smoke trailing behind him and background bobbing as he walks into the office. ]

Back home, I worked as a Resolver, which is pretty much what it sounds like: if folks had a problem, I’d solve it for them. Not for free, of course. I’m not runnin’ a charity.

[ A moment of jostling while he takes a seat at his desk. He takes the cigarette from his mouth and exhales a plume of smoke off to the side. ]

Anything from finding missing persons, to bodyguard work, to negotiating peace between rival gangs. My skills cover a wide array. So, I figured why not keep it up here? Not everything’s gonna make it onto the Questboard. And besides, wouldn’t wanna get rusty.

My doors are open. Prices are negotiable based on the job. If you’ve got questions, feel free to ask.

[ He’ll end the transmission by dropping a pin with the location of his office, for anyone who wants to swing by. ]

(( OOC: Inui Consulting is open for business! Feel free to visit that page for more details, or chat with Juzo here if you want! ))

monostich

So, I'm sure by now you've seen Mr. Claude's post about a feast he wants to hold, and I'm not sure how many people are in a similar situation but...

I've never had to cook before, and buying food to bring seems like it would cost a lot and not be in the spirit of things, so I was wondering if anyone had any advice? Or could help teach me? Mr. Claude said I should bring bread, but I don't know how difficult that would be.

If anyone can help, I would appreciate it.

gunmettle

[ For a second it might seem like someone is holding a gun up to the camera, but then it pulls back a little to reveal that while, yes, there is a gun pointed at the camera, that gun has teeth, with a smoking cigarette clamped between them.

The gun also talks. ]

The name’s Juzo, and I’ve got an… odd request.

[ Juzo’s hand comes up into view to take the cigarette out of his mouth, holding it up for the camera. ]

These are a special brand from home, so I’m looking for someone who might know how to reverse-engineer ‘em and produce more. I’m not exactly rollin’ in money here since I just arrived, but I’ll find a way to repay the favor. Odd jobs are a specialty of mine.

And I don’t wanna hear any talk about how smoking is gonna kill me. Running out will kill me quicker.

[ That seems to be the end of it, with Juzo sticking the cigarette back between his teeth and exhaling a plume of smoke. Then, as an afterthought, he adds: ]

Before anyone jumps the gun, yes, this is my real head. No, I don’t wanna talk about it.

[ On video appears Razor, covered in a typical layer of dirt. He's underneath a few trees, but he seems pretty relaxed. Even though he's smiling, he seems thoughtful. There is something different, though. On top of his head are two silver-grey wolf ears, matching so closely the shade of his hair. Not visible: a tail wagging furiously in the background.

Someone's gotten good at partial transformations.

He seems pretty happy about this particular one, too. ]

Better at magic!

[ But that's not why he's here. He has something more important... ]

And, have question. Want to learn... to read. Will help with quests.

[ He looks briefly concerned. ]

And lots. Can give meat for help!

[ So he's not asking for this for free. ]

Good hunter.

carligrapher

This is Sakurayashiki.

( it's not only a polite greeting to a new place, but what he can surmise is a good way to see if anyone from home is here without having to debase himself with pleas to get in touch.

that said, he's already looked through the network and not seen anyone, username nor person, who looks like his friends from home. so it's unlikely, but unlikely has never meant impossible. best to be prudent. )

I seek a partner to retrieve some holographic rocks with me. ( which sounds truly absurd and too much like the kinds of games and television he enjoyed as a child, but fine.

and more importantly... this is something of an inefficient system for discovering potential quest partners, but he's still brainstorming exactly how to improve it. )

You should have some level of physical fitness and the ability to interact properly with clients. Understanding of your magic is also an advantage.

( Kaoru, baby, it's not a job advert. also the only time you've touched your magic was at the training grounds, you hypocrite. )

Thank you for your time.

[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]

wuf

[ A video comes on and it awkwardly shakes for a moment before he seems to figure out how to steady it and ask a question. It seems to be dark outside, and behind him is only trees. He seems fairly comfortable by a fire out here. His face has a bit of dirt and mud on it, and there's a couple of grass stains on his forehead. How long has he been out here? Hard to say. He likes it. ]

Have question!

[ And, here he goes. ]

Want to know everyone favorite place to eat.

[ He considers - ]

Want to buy good food for friends. Not hunt or fish.

[ And then - he adds quickly. ]

Thank you!
