[ Its about that time when its not quite spring yet and demons grow restless of staying indoors and behaving so you might notice a few strange things going on around town. All of the doors along the main street of town either have 'Please Use the Other Door' signs on them sending anyone trying to enter into a spiral around the outside of the building as they never can seem to find that Other Door or the Pull to enter signs have been swapped out for Push to Enter ones. If that isn't annoying enough once you actually get inside you might find a 'Meet Me ASAP' note on your desk or taped to your room door. The only problem is it is unsigned but so very important, it says ASAP! Try not to run yourself too ragged trying to find the note sender. Caramel Onions on sticks which look suspiciously like normal caramel apples have been left out with a 'Please Take One' sign. Fake plastic snakes seem to fall out of every cabinet or closet of those silly enough to have left their doors ajar while the lobby of the hotel seems to have mysteriously filled with multi-colored balloons overnight so deep they would touch the ceiling.

Crowley toys with his pencil and takes a sip from his glass of wine before checking another item off the list.]




I could go with the fake parking tickets but... well! In a place with horses wouldn't they just eat the notes? Maybe it would be better to go with whipped cream on the carriage handles or paste in the doors so they stick every time some one tries to open one. Mm, I'll figure something out I just need to entertain myself until this rain lets up then I can plant the grapes out in the field. 

Speaking of those. I've been trying to dream up a few label names, something catchy that will grab people's attention. A wine needs a catchy name. I'm thinking, Demon's Delight for the red and... Angel's Fancy for the white. They might need refining, what do you think, do you have any better suggestions?

Travel is good for the soul, I hear.

But why?

When I was only twelve I was bestowed by the good grace of my sire an education in a delightful city thousands of miles from home. Dare I have a pleasant outing, you ask? The majesty of the finest library in the world seldom shielded me from the opposite of being in heaven; nursing frostbitten fingers and sleeping alone in the dark.

No, travel is the most dreadful punishment. For the fiercest soul is made to pine for the comforts of home. Where one is free to laugh and stroll amongst friends.

… I miss mine dearly.

Forgive me for occupying your valuable time with my musing but I must ask:

Do any of you pine for your world left behind? Is home something you miss?


[Do you feel homesick, Avalon?]

Hello, everyone. Please excuse this question if it has been asked before; I only just arrived, so I'm still trying to get my bearings, but...

How common is it for people from the same world to arrive together? But not... really together? By which I mean, not from the same point in time. There seem to be many people I know here, but I'm not sure we all line up the way we should.

(That said, if anyone from U.A. is reading this, I think it might be prudent if we all got on the same page with regards to what we do or don't remember.)

Additionally, if there is anyone here who has experience with elemental magic and wouldn't mind showing someone who's new to it how to use it, I would be very appreciative.

Thank you.

I was wondering if I could implore some assistance.

I have offered to help with the arrows, but, I must admit to being more optimistic than anything. I have no clue how to shoot a bow and arrow. Is there someone who could help me learn? I do not wish to harm someone from my lack of knowledge.

Also, I am not entirely familiar with this holiday everyone is preparing for. I would not mind knowledge on that as well.

[Alec is sitting in his room at the inn, trying to ignore the spectral whippet gnawing on a squeaky bone behind him. He doesn't know where she got it and he isn't inclined to ask]

Right. [he rubs his eyes with a hand and then stares at the camera]

Let's get this shit show organized. The sooner we get everything done, the sooner we can leave so it's time to figure out who can do what. Who are you and what can you do? What are your strengths and weaknesses? We should have some sort of formal training so that like can work with like and eventually figure out how to work together as a cohesive unit in case something big comes along.

[he doesn't want to even think of what that might be]

Also are there any legitimate doctors around? And I don't mean someone who can do 'healing' [he waves his hands] whatever the fuck that means, but someone with medical training. If you have that... let's talk.

[he has a small problem that if he doesn't get it fixed will soon turn into a very large problem so he's doing what he can]

...I'm recording now, my dear. DO be quiet.

Ahem. Yes.


The New Year is a time, in my world, of celebration and setting new goals--new resolutions--of what you hope to accomplish and aspire to for the coming year.

Do you have any such goals? Shush. Yes, I know I'm sloshed-- They probably are too. If so, I'd love to hear them.


It is one of my resolutions that, after years of denial and silence-- [A slightly wet breath, the kind that preambles tears.] --after years of denial and silence, yes, I know I've already said that that I do not hide what I no longer have to hide, that I love freely and openly-- You're making me forget what I practised!

Oh, sod it all. [There's a giggle and merriment in his voice. Maybe he tried to hold his companions face in his hands. Maybe he tried to go in for a kiss. Who knows, this is just audio. You'll have to imagine it.] I'm absolutely besotted with you, you stupid, handsome demon--There. You vain thing. You got the handsome part in. Handsome, and sweet, and so very good to me. I love you, Anthony J. Crowley, and I want all the wide world to know, and the many, many universes. And I want Her to know that, and Heaven, and Hell, and everywhere in between. [He laughs. And laughs.]

I promised you I'd tell them, didn't I? You only brought this upon yourself, my darling wicked creature.

Hey people.

[The man in the dark shades waved coolly at the screen as he sat on the edge of a small stone fence. It was freezing cold outside but in spite of the clouds that appeared whenever he spoke Crowley didn't seem to notice.]

We've all been brought here, had our powers taken and dolled out to us again in much smaller pieces... it's inconvenient, like being trapped in a baby walker... or trying to save the universe with your hands tied behind your back.

Point is, I need some volunteers who are skilled with Light magic, Healing magic, Animal magic, Kinetic magic and maybe another Elemental magic user who thinks they would be up to controlling sand. Think of it as training.

Also Angel, meet me on the Inn roof before midnight. Not sure it would work with an angel and a demon but if it does we could use some good luck for the new year.

[He doesn't know about the fireworks. Those are going to be a nice surprise.]

[Sokka waves at the camera.]

Hi, I'm Sokka and... I have elemental magic. Would someone be willing to help me learn how to control fire... since that's all I seem to be able to do right now. Or teach me how to channel other elements, that works too. But mainly how to control fire.

[He looks kind of sheepish for needing to ask this, but that's that.]

My sister is a healer, so I'm sure she can heal any burn wounds that might happen while training.

Thanks.

[ Sometime in the middle of the month, a video is uploaded to the network. It's pre-recorded and opens with a man in his late 20s (Emet-Selch) setting up his phone so that it will stay in place and upright. Many will recognise the scene behind him as being one of the generic kitchenettes belonging to an inn room.

On the table before the camera are a few sheets of paper with alchemy circles drawn on them, heaped with small piles of raw, natural ingredients such as salt and clay and the like. ]


Hmm... It appears to be functioning as intended. Good.

[ Retreating from the camera, he crosses his arms. His posture is quite lax, attire casual, but his manner is quite austere. ]

This is intended for the man I met almost a moon ago, who proposed to me the idea of creating a a book - a grimoire, if you will - filled with pages of alchemical circles that I might easily access spells I need instead of drawing them anew time and again. But I am sure there are others who may benefit from this knowledge as well.

[ He gestures, drawing attention to the pages on the table. ]

Here, I have drawn some simple transformations. Observe--

[ At his whistle, a dog-sized, shadowy, dragon-like creature hops up on to the seat next to him. Emet-Selch focuses on the pages and his familiar follows suit. The first circle begins to glow.

A snap of his fingers, a flash of light, and suddenly there is a ceramic plate sitting on top of the page in place of its raw components. It is plain and unfired of course, but it is certainly a plate.

He repeats this process for the next two sheets of paper, producing a square of cloth and a short, wooden rod respectively. ]


I have yet to see if this transformation can be done without placing the raw materials within the circle itself, but for now, it seems promising.

[ END TRANSMISSION. ]

[ Elfnein has a very panicked look on her face and an alien like familiar next to her. If you didn't know what it was you might just think it's a cute little monster.]

How do I get rid of a familiar? This one isn't safe to have around people.

[ Even though it's touching Elfnein's hand nothing is happening and it's just chilling. ]

It's a type of monster from my home that causes people to carbonize on contact. I can't let it hurt anyone here!

[there is a pause for a moment and when he begins to speak his voice is rough]

Right. Assuming this isn't just another bloody fever dream that I'll wake up from to find myself pitched into... I don't know, some scifi or whatever--

What is the best way to get on here? What should I avoid? Is there a way to skip all this horseshit and go home?

[there is a violent sneeze followed by a soft groan]

And I don't suppose there's some magic to cure a cold.

[There's a tartan patterned tin box of cookies (or biscuits, depending on your culture of origin) placed open on the duvet of a hotel room. In the middle of all the shortbread, however, is a caramel colored hognose snake. The voice that speaks is male, and very British.]

Look at you. [The snake scents the air with its tongue.] Yes, I'm very glad to see you're here as well, but did you have to hitch your ride in my tin? I'm sure they have accommodations for that sort of thing, something to keep you from freezing in the bay. You needn't ruin perfectly good biscuits. I'm not sure we can find more here. Those were from home--MY home, before all this nonsense. We'll find you an enclosure and proper food in a bit; in the meantime you have a lamp, why don't you take a nap. You snakes enjoy your naps, keeps you out of trouble.

[Aziraphale's face comes into view. He appears to be a 50ish year old white male, with a cherubic face and upturned nose, and a head of pale blond curls. He looks like an angel. He's also tired; this has been a day and he has just recently arrived.]

Up to his old tricks, I see. Terribly sorry about him--somehow he always manages to hit just enough buttons to do something awful to these devices. Surprised it works at all since he seems to be powerless now. But since I have you all here:

I'm looking for someone. A, um. A friend of mine: [A smile that cannot be contained] tall, roguishly handsome and whip-thin, with red hair. Probably wearing sunglasses. He goes by the name Anthony Crowley.

If anyone should see him, would you be so kind as to let him know-- [Someone has to decide what name to use now. Mr. Fell is the default when talking to humans. Aziraphale is his name. So the choice he does make is telling, even if it's only telling to the person who it matters to.] --his Angel is looking for him. I would be ever so grateful.

[A deep breath] Right, so.

Camelot. It's changed a great deal since I last saw it.

Miss Redfield has already asked about good food, so I won't repeat her inquiries. But I would like to know if there are any good libraries or bookshops, and what if any additional resources one might provide about this world and its culture?

Thank you.

Hello everyone,

My name is Claire Redfield and I'm new around these parts. And that means it's time for the newbie to ask all these annoying questions. I've gotten the basic rundown of what's going on from some helpful people already, but since then I've had a few more crop up.

First of all, does anyone here know where we find work. I gathered that Camelot has it's own money, and I figure I can't just bum around in this hotel forever.

Second, when we've earned a few bucks, what are some of the good places to eat around here? And are there any sites that need to be seen? I know this isn't a tourist trip, but it feels like a waste to not.

Third, I guess I should clarify. This is actually Camelot? Like home of King Arthur, the Round Table, and all that jazz?

And finally, what's one thing you wish you knew when you first showed up here. Or one thing that you want to tell me about yourself.


Thanks!
Claire
