I wish to run tests with my powers of light and technology, to see what more I can do with them.

If anyone wishes to assist me, I would be most thankful.

[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.]

I almost forgot what it felt like wearing that.

[Someone changed his profile pick to be a mix of this and him wearing his crown. He doesn't look annoyed, but he also doesn't look too pleased? It's all thanks to a certain girl giving him a dare.]

Hm, what do you think makes a king, a king?

( maybe she's had one too many drinks when this post comes to mind, which is why it isn't as anonymous as she might like it to be.

... which is why it gets posted instead of deleted as soon as the words flash over the screen.
)

ever think about how long we could be here? already been a year. living here pretending shit's normal. getting jobs. playing with magic.

forgetting who we used to be.

that a good thing? being separated from all that shit?

could be here for years more. become someone new. do shit you never thought you would.


( she's already there, just by having a business. how much further can this place push her out of everything she believed she was? )

[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.))

Good Afternoon, Avalon. For those I haven't met yet, I go by 'Caster' here.

[Despite her gloating in the aftermath of the Celliwig 'event', Caster was in an unusually somber mood...

Still, she gave a subdued smile as gestured with her staff to the vineyard around her, and the cute-yet-ominous little shop attached to it. Despite her insistence that she wasn't a witch, it very much looked like a witch's potion shop!]


I had hoped to wait for a better time to make this announcement but, well, I think there's plenty of people who could use a decent drink at the moment. So- I've finally been able to open up my Potion Shop and Winery here. I call it 'Pick Your Poison'.

[She gives the address.]

I'll be selling potions that I've managed to brew during my time here, which I hope will prove useful- there's some that can be used for helping keep a house clean or improve your sleep better, others that improve your vision in darkness or help you resist fire. I will be adding to my stock periodically, so do keep your eyes open.

The wines I'm selling are those that I have brewed in-house, trying to get as close to traditional Colchian wine as I can. There will be free samples available to anyone who wants to try before buying, so do come and see what you think.

...And if the name of my Homeland means anything to you, I don't object to answering questions, so long as its kept private.

[After all, admitting she was a Sorceress hailing from Colchis narrowed her identity down quite a bit...perhaps that was the closest she'd get to being public with her True Name, at least for now.]

On a...different note. I want to do something for those who've disappeared from this realm. Many people have come and left, and I can't be aware of all of them.

I've left a large book in the entranceway of the shop, so, feel free to write the names of those you miss here who have returned home, if you wish. I don't know exactly what to do with it just yet, but it seems callous to simply forget them.

Ah. And I can't say I'm usually the sort for public announcements like this, but-... but Homura's disappeared, to those it may concern.

[Caster went quiet for a brief moment, before recovering her focus.]

If you have lost someone close recently and feel comfortable enough to tell me, the first bottle of wine is on me.

Behold the Fool of Owari, the Great Unifier of Japan, the Demon King of the Sixth Heaven.

and lmao well it turns out i didnt die in that fight with the dragon. u can file ur complaints with beowulf. gonna be out of commission for awhile but hey thats how shit goes i guess.

but aside from that, i wanna kno something. something thats sitting in my brain as we got a refugee crisis already forming on our hands and we pick through the rubble of a series of shitty decisions and maybe poor karma;

knowing what it is we are all here to do, do you still trust the people that run this Avalon, whether its Camelot or Celliwig or Whatever, to facilitate that task?

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. )

[The last few months had given Mukuro a lot to think about- especially with regard to her own death back home. One part still didn't make any sense to her:

What had she done wrong? Why had Junko killed her?

...It was with those thoughts swimming around in her head that she sent another late night message to the network.]

Reviewing the strategy from a recent battle at home. I want to understand the rational for the decisions taken.

A soldier is engaged in a stealth/undercover mission. However, they have made a mistake that risks the operation's success, and have not realised their error.

The mission commander is in a position to eliminate the operative to preserve their mission, without exposing themselves in the process.

Is that course of action reasonable? To put it another way- under what circumstances would you consider sacrificing one of your own men to ensure a mission's success or to prevent it's failure?

Don't feel you have to answer.

Hmph! Titles here are worthless. Futile, trivial words scrawled on parchment. Merely thinking of them insults me.

[Granted, he needs little provocation to feel insulted.]

Why do you regard their distinction as an accolade worthy of merit?

It has been most instructive as to the nature of your kind that you salivate like mongrels and chase subordination and not independence.

[There is an embittered sigh.]

Do you not entertain any notion of loyalty to your native land? Your eager willingness to chase glory is abominable. Hm. It is useless. You should close your mouths and remember where you come from.

[This face will look familiar to some people here, but the camera is very shaky, because he's excited for this new thingamajig that can apparently show his face and excitement to EVERYONE.]

Good evening!

My name is Ferdinand von Aegir, and I have just arrived in this place you call Camelot.

I was wondering, is there a place a man can get good tea around here?

So... Are there any dragons in this place? Non-familiar dragons? If so, have they ever harassed the townsfolk here?

And for those of you that have dragon familiars: How chill are they? If someone wanted to burn some paper dragon dolls, are they going to get mad?

Hi friends! It's me again. You'll all be thrilled to hear that I had a great idea.

What is this idea, you ask? Well... I want to throw a feast! In my homeland they're a great way for people to come together, eat ourselves stupid, and make merry. We could all use some of that with everything that's been happening lately. The spring ball already feels like forever ago, and not everyone was here to enjoy it.

There's just a few simple rules: you have to bring some food or drink from your world, or as close as you can get! And you'd better label it so we all know which foods are from where.
[...He's not actually going to enforce this rule, he just thinks it'd be more fun. And educational!]

The other rules are absolutely NO fighting, and no tying each other to trees to get attention, no matter how fun and cute it may seem on paper.

[he's naming no names!! you know who you are!]

I'll send out the location of the feast closer to the time. As for timing -- how about the last day of this moon? That way you have no excuse not to prepare something, and spread the word to people who are bad at using these things!

I'm counting on you all.

[It's not often that Jade makes use of the network herself, preferring to respond to others, and she's been as preoccupied by the trials as many others have this past week. Even so, something troubling has come to her attention, and she would rather not sit and wonder and worry needlessly, if it indeed ends up being needless.]

I realize there's a great deal going on right now, and so I'll make this brief.

[Her tone is careful and refined, but there's certainly worry beneath all of that, thinly-veiled.]

Has anyone seen or heard from Dimitri recently? Even amidst the trials and current situation with Celliwig, it's unlike him to miss training or go silent.

[At least in her experience. She knows enough about his previous ghosting act to know that this doesn't feel right. If something has gone wrong, he can certainly take care of himself, but that doesn't keep concern from mounting.]

I know he has acquaintances here. If you hear anything, I would greatly appreciate if you would let me know.

So, is there a reason for why I just got here and my phone is blowing up over a vote? What the hell even happened?

Who even votes over a war, anyways? I’m not the only one who thinks that’s bizarre, right? War just happens and everyone hates it.
