[Danganronpa spoilers/sororicide ment.]

[When 'Junko' starts up the call this time- a few hours after the ceremony where a girl named Mukuro Ikusaba was granted knighthood- her expression seemed uncharacteristically serious, almost cold, with hands trembling ever so slightly whilst she propped up her device to record. Her Hellhound familiar Fenrir was waiting at her side, if just for moral support.]

19th September, Year Unknown. 21:00.

As we move out to our final deployment, I want to talk about something.

Um...I'm not a Fashionista. I've never liked fashion. I don't really know how well I was able to fake that, in the end. Undercover ops aren't my strong suit- I'm a former mercenary, and at Hope's Peak Academy, I held the title of 'Ultimate Soldier'.

I've been carrying out the orders of my twin sister, the real Junko Enoshima. I guess the short version is that before I died- before she killed me- I took her place to act as her alibi. But, with the current state of our operations, the...events I've recently come to remember from another world, and my intention to remain in Avalon once it's all over-

I've been thinking a lot, and- um- I guess the instructions I've been holding onto no longer apply. And I don't want it all to end with people not knowing me.

[She hesitated, taking a moment to work the blond wig off her head, brushing down short, black hair with one hand.]

...I don't know if I'm making sense. If I'm not, I'll answer whatever questions you want. But I guess what I want to say is this;

I am a Knight of Camelot. My name is Mukuro Ikusaba, and... I exist.

[And with a slightly awkward, but somehow more natural-seeming smile, she finishes off by adding Blade-anon's signature little knife emoji.]

[And here is what is perhaps by now a familiar face ~~though he still isn’t using a logged-in account, even after almost two years~~.]

Goddess of Death. Mister Archer. Don’t think I’ve forgotten about you after all this time. I may not frequent the network, but I remember you both clearly. I remember both of you having an interest in the stone giant.

Would anyone else care to look into the matter, now that we finally have a lead?

[It’s an open invitation to all he has worked with before without necessarily singling them out. He knows they may not have the same immediate priorities.]

In response to a recent post pertaining to calling mayonnaise "sucky street food".

( Cut for Space )

I urge you to come visit the fine establishment known as the "Trappist Café". And then reach a conclusion on the matter. That is all, long may King Mayo reign.

[ooc: Idk Image source: The Long Reign of Belgian Mayonnaise: How Belgium Crowned the King of Sauce. forgot to say this but feel free to minle and threadhop! have fun with this! defend the honor of the GREAT KING MAYO!!!!!!!]

unknowntodeath

Give me your honest opinions on mayonnaise. Even the most brutal ones. Does mayon belong in all sorts of food? Personally I think there's a limit and the limit is "just sucky street food".

Let's talk about other condiments as well. What is the worst or what is the best one?

And the most hot topic in some worlds: does pineapple belong in pizza?

[Archer may or may not have encountered a certain knight putting mayonnaise in wedding buffet food.]

[OOC: Free zone. Feel free to threadjack and go offtopic as much as you want.

Archer is anon in replies unless I state otherwise at the start of the conversation.]

[ After being given a quest, Ereshkigal had decided to go ahead and do it on her own. It was very clear the quest was designed to be dangerous and she'd wanted to ensure none would get caught in her own personal feud with Morganna... Which had been a fatal mistake. ]

Greetings. I am in dire need of assistance and would be very grateful should any of you still listen to me.

[ It is a blessing nobody can hear her whine through text. ]

I am in the Forest of the Felled and I am lost. I came here after Morganna gave me a quest, but I believe my words angered her and she led me into a trap. It appears she placed upon me a curse that makes it impossible for me to find my way. I have been here for over twenty-four now and my strengths are waning as a result of dehydration and hunger.

Should you be afraid of facing Morganna's wrath for assisting me, I understand. I shall face my own death with dignity if so. I only ask someone come after the kettle in my possession to finish this quest and establish a land of the dead after I am gone. I will endeavor to write instructions on how to manage such a place with what time I have left.

[ Not overly dramatic at all, nope. ]

saxsongs

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.

rustyhonesty

Ah, yes. My favorite time of the day. The eerie dusk.

[It's probably not even dusk when he posts this, but the recent events have made it calamity dusk for a while... how joyous.]

They sure weren't kidding when they said Solstices are important. I wonder how we'll have to fix this one.

[They fix one thing and mess another. Story of their life.]

colchismagecraft

(TW Adultery/Caster's sadism/Misandry)

[Perhaps Caster was upset that her housemate had vanished. Perhaps she was just projecting all of her Jason-related anger onto someone else. Or perhaps she just hadn't had enough arson lately to satisfy her inner sadism.

So tonight, she'd decided to take to the network to give some 'helpful' commentary on the Fisher King problem. Naturally, half-cloaked in shadows as she usually did.]

Good evening, Avalon. For those I haven't met yet, you may call me 'Caster'.

...I don't intend to linger too long tonight, but I gather that at least a few people here feel sympathetic toward the Fisher King in all off this. Who want to compassionately reach out to and help him for being so unfairly targeted. Now, perhaps there are newcomers here who have yet to dig into his history... but the wretched fool deserves no such kindness.

As I understand, he cheated on his wife, and in turn, she rightfully sought to make him suffer- so he'd never die, or have children again- by driving a holy lance into his leg. Considering he had to be resurrected, I can't say the curse entirely worked as intended, but...

I think a punishment like that was perfect for something so unforgivable. Wretched men like that deserve such a fate, don't you think? Haha~

[After amusing herself with the thought for a moment, she paused, before adding a short addition to her post.]

...

...Ah. I should mention, Maribelle and the Red Saber seem to have disappeared, for those it may concern.

judgementor

A question, if you’d indulge me.

[His tone says that he entirely expects that people will - smooth, charming, in a pleasantly low-pitched voice which can either have the effect of drawing a certain type of attention... or making you want to punch him. Red Wine tucks his hair behind one of his long, pointed ears and idly folds a piece of paper in crisp lines. Anyone passingly familiar with origami would be able to see exactly what he was doing, though perhaps not exactly what he is making.]

I’ve been away from my home for a while now. I’m sure the same can be said for many people here even if they were not already in unfamiliar worlds before this one… [The movement of his hands pauses, and he stares at the paper for a moment before lowering it with a short sigh.

Anyway…]

Travelling in unusual circumstances has a tendency to change people, whether for better or worse. Would you count your experiences here - or even elsewhere - as something of value, or something you would rather forget?

politicallyinclined

I did it!

(What she did might be hard to understand until she purposefully attacks her Light shield. Her sword bounces off of the brightness and her lovely Peko-Peko familiar caws her approval from the other side.)

I can keep her and hopefully others safe. This is the first step; I want to make a much bigger shield. One that I could place over an entire area.

What do you think?

resistetmords

[This was all a basic pr stunt, she knew. But it was nice, and cute. Besides, it wasn't like there was much going on lately anyway. Anyway, for this video she was once again wearing her Grenadier uniform to help her look sharp and professional! Gotta put on airs when recruiting people- asking people for help with community service!]

Would anyone be willing to help out your local knights with doing a bit of community service?

[Hm, another thought also occurred to her as well.] Oh- and on a different note, I'm going to need some help taking an egg to the local shelter.

mayoninofukucho

[Not being able to go out into the daylight without suffering a nasty chemical burn death is driving Hijikata up the walls, but since Maribelle's call-out post last month thoroughly tarnished his reputation (though he eventually wrote her an apology letter that seems to have been well-received) he's opting to stay anonymous for this commission request.]

I'm looking for an armour-maker, or probably an alchemist, who can make me something like a motorcycle helmet (probably a suit and other accessories too) that'll reliably protect me from the sun. Some different kind of gear would be fine too, but it has to provide full coverage.

bakudan_bambino

Aurora and Zuko are no longer here in Avalon.

[Gokudera will not be attending his classes, showing up to work, or training at the dojo for several days. He just lost his boyfriend and girlfriend and he’s tired from fighting wraiths. Mostly, he’s just being an angsty teenager.

Feel free to blow up his IC inbox. Messages on this post will likely get delayed responses.]

troubadamsel

[ The screen shows a refined, elegant young lady having tea. She takes one sip before smiling pleasantly. ]

Greetings, one and all. For those who I've yet to meet, my name is Maribelle. A pleasure, I'm sure. I promise not to take up too much of your time today - rather, I have a small, fun little "quest" of my own to offer everyone.

[ Her manner and voice sound as calm as a gentle breeze... but the look in her eyes is bone-chillingly cold. The snow outside has nothing on them. ]

There is a man here called Toshirou Hijikata. If you don't know the name, he's a human with short black hair and typically wears a commander's uniform. What I would like is a photo of him... wearing a humiliating outfit. I want his soul being destroyed in the expression. I want every single last trace of dignity he has left utterly vanquished. And I'm willing to pay extra for every additional photo taken. I'll start with one hundred G, but I'm also open to negotiation.

[ She then moves the phone, to show various magical items on the table - Magic Mask, Enchanted Pink Calcite, and Mirror Mirror. ]

If a monetary factor isn't in your interest, I'd be willing to be part with any of these.

[ Another silent sip of tea. Her smile never vanishes. ]

Now, before I send you on your merry way, no doubt someone is going to ask me why I'm requesting this, so I may as well get it over with. Last month, some of us wound up unwillingly switching bodies. Hijikata and I were such victims. While I was in his body, I remained inside and inconspicuous, so as to not damage his reputation or allow any misunderstandings to follow him once we retuned to normal.

As for him?

He decided to parade my body in a revealing outfit in a shady nightclub while plunging items into my bosom.

[ SSSSSIIIIIIIIIIP. ]

Happy hunting.

mayoninofukucho

[Hijikata was just having the time of his life on the Island of Dreams, playing with a whole bunch of cute mayonnaise mascots, when a little bird (literally or not... who knows) told him that back in Camelot his ghost subordinates are being hunted and trapped by dark web denizens. Shit!! Why does this happen the one time his burner phone is out of commission?!

After a quick panicked brainstorming session he decides to take to AOL, totally anonymous this time, just in case. He'll keep it short and sweet.]

How do you find ghosts that have been sealed in containers and hidden?

[If only there were something like a more specialised Wayfinder spell for this exact situation! Wait, didn't the traders sell a pendulum that can detect items? Ugh, why didn't he buy it?! But really, who could know that something like this would happen? Now he can only hope that Avalon's netizens have some good ideas for him.]

morganknight

[Morgan's not his cheeriest today, which is to say, he's still smiling as he lazes about in a comfy chair, but not with ebullient glee.]

Just keeping y'all up to date -- with the regrettable disappearance of Miss Ardenbury, I've basically inherited her position as ambassador to End of the World?

[The armlet totem Cecelia'd been given dangles from a finger as he lifts it into view.]

So if anyone wants to pop on down there, let me know. If anyone wants to help out with the whole business, also let me know. And, uh, apropos of nothing, if you guys could all contrive to drop a pen or a sock or something in a place where it can easily get lost, I'd appreciate it. Bargaining stuff.

concierto

[The video starts with a tall tree and collection of bright stars above as Venti is pointing the device upwards. The night sky is sparkling with bright nightly colours. The video pans down wildly to show feet dangling from one branch. One brown loafer shoe just barely hanging on by a toe. Then a weepy voice sings along with a soft sad melody...]

An arbor of flowers and a kettle of wine... Alas in the bowers no companion is mine.

[The shoe falls from his foot and hits the ground below. Only to be met with a huff and whine as the one in the tree starts to sip from a large wine bottle. The camera pans up again with the view of the whole bottle before there is a glimpse of Venti's face as he sips it.]

Then the moon sheds her rays on my goblet and me... And my shadow betrays we’re a party of three.

Party of three...! Your poem is the worst! Just terrible...!!

[Venti sighs...]

See the moon–how she dances in response to my song. See my shadow–it dances so lightly along... While sober I feel, you are both my good friends. ...While drunken I reel, our companionship ends...

[A soft sob as Venti takes another big sip of wine and lets the lonely ache overtake his singing. The camera pans down again as he's unable to finish the last few lines of a poem that Zhongli wrote him. Now that his old friend is gone.]

You and the curious starshine too... how boring...

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.

(TW: Murder/Sororicide, Betrayal, DR Spoilers)

[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.]

27 AUG XX, 0324

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.
