( 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.))

[ The video begins and Baiken sets the camera down on a steady surface before shuffling her way in front of it and taking a nice long gulp from her sake jug before grabbing something from off camera and dangling it in front of the lens...

A necklace with a tigers' eye gem. ]

Got one of these awhile back from a different job, and well since somebody said I should diversify my work if I want to not live in poverty all the damn time, I guess I'll take the job related to this too.

If you know what I'm talking about, you know what I'm talking about.

[ You know. That job. ]

I gotta partner up someone [ or someones ] to get this payday, so consider this an offer. Make it worth my while, though. I have a right to be picky.

[ You gotta admit, it's better than making a living killing things! Probably. ]

-rano!!

Flames- [Lorenz huffs a sigh as he looks back down to his phone, clearly having looked up while it was starting up and the fact that he is visibly disconcerted about whatever he was yelling about says a lot. Lorenz Hellman Gloucester, epitome of noble propriety, shouting and looking frazzled? He must be in a state.]

As some of you may have heard Archimedes has suffered some vandalism. I was doing my best to track some of his horses down but-

Well. Their appearance is rather disconcerting. Enough so that they've gone and startled my horse so much he's run off. So. If anyone happens upon a young buckskin gelding... his name is Safrano and he will bend over backwards for peppermint treats.

[The camera swings wide briefly as he simultaneously shows off the area this abrupt parting of ways happened and also does his best to dust snow off the long plush coat he's wearing.]

I'm a bit concerned about the health of Archimedes' horses as well.... whatever's been done to them... mmm with the snow especially they need to get back to the stables or they're going to go hungry.

[Not only are they horrifying to look at but the weird beaked monstrosities certainly aren't made for pulling grass up out of snow.]

((OOC: Forward dated for December. Shh-))

[ 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.

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. )

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. )

Hey there, friends! I have a little poem I wrote for you. Yes, you.

[Well, he actually wrote it for Merlin, but who's nitpicking? He reaches for a piece of paper he composed his masterpiece on, clears his throat, and recites:]

My magic is green,
But also dark,
After hearing my terrible poetry
Are you feeling a little spark?

... No? [There's a lingering grin on his face, before he screws up the paper and tosses it over his shoulder.] Oh well! I'll think of something catchier next time.

Anyway, now that I've got your attention, I just wanted to let everyone know that earlier last month, me and a couple of pals did a little exploring in the desert on the north side of the island. It was a long journey, but eventually we found what I can only call a huge whirlpool of sand.

I would have loved to have gotten closer to see what was causing it, but the sandstorms around it were way too strong. My guess has to be some powerful being hiding inside it, or maybe some strong magics were cast on the area to keep out intruders. For now, it's a dead end.

It did get me wondering, though: has anyone done any exploring of their own around the island? What did you find?

Tsk!

I check in with the devices and see nothing but idle banter.

[Not that he had the patience to look very long.]

Why are more of you not discussing the Calamity? A vast, all-consuming fire threatens the Infinity and yet you prattle on as if nothing were wrong.

Has the new found power so many of you now have blinded you to the threat? Are you all so busy with your fancy new magic that you... you...

[A sharp, frustrated exhale.]

Bah!

Why do I bother?

What more should I expect from maggots?
