[ It's a cheerful duck with finger guns on screen, so that can only be one lady - ]

Hey guys. Della Duck here, your favorite duck woman due to being the only duck woman in this world. Jumping on that bandwagon of "boy, that sure sucked big time", but I'm not gunna bore you all with moral dilemmas or trying to ask why life is mean. Instead, I need your advice on something we can all agree on - the best way to kick butt.

Now, in my world, all I ever needed to fight were my two fists of fury right here, maybe add in a roundhouse kick here and there. But, well, when your enemy is poison to the touch or makes you crazy, and yadda yadda, sometimes you just need a weapon to do the job. Yeah, magic's great and all, but we can't always rely on it. But we can rely on blunt metal objects!

That's where you come in, my fine folks. What are your favorite weapons? I wanna hear your opinion on the best kind of weaponry you've gotten your hands on, whether it's just to knock someone out cold, or un-alive them quickly. Like in this world, the sword is a popular choice, but you've got a whole range when it comes to those - claymores, short swords, broadswords, or you can shrink 'em if you wanna go for knives and daggers. Or maybe you're the type to improvise and use sports equipment for the job, like a bat or a golf club! Endless opportunities for sports puns with those, so win-win.

All right, I've done enough gabbing. Help me out here! What is the best type of weapon, so say you?

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.]

Just for the hell of it...

Answer this.

What would you do if you suddenly woke up a decade older?

[He is keeping to himself, hiding up a tree while he...adjusts. The passage of time doesn't matter - like he cares if he is seventeen or twenty-seven - but what happened in that decade...

That rattles him. Amazes him. Confounds him.]

sifukatara

[ The young woman that appears on the screen (filming from a park, it seems) seems pretty calm (and probably 4-5 years older than she did last time she appeared here). It's been a few days since some of the new arrivals turned up, so she may be late to the party, but there's a reason. Katara has some practice at this, and she's ready with her questions. She looks a little bit tired, but she's smiling politely. ]

Hello to anyone watching this right now. My name is Katara, and I'm one of the new arrivals. I just have a few questions I'd like to ask.

[ She pauses, consideringly, then frowns and brings a hand to her chin thoughtfully. ]

Some of them are going to sound pretty strange, so please bear with me, but... Here goes... My first question is: Have I been here before?

[ It doesn't appear that she's joking in the slightest, looking calmly into the camera. ]

My next question is: Are there any... strange catches about living here? Or- maybe useful things I should know that might not have already been recently addressed? Anything weird about the moons-- [ And here she waves a hand Jazz Hands style for emphasis. ] --or any taboos to avoid angering the locals or gods? ARE there gods here?

[ She looks surprisingly calm for someone asking all these questions, though her expressions do shift accordingly because let's be honest, even she knows how absurd this would sound if none of the above weirdness applies. Her smile turns a bit apologetic then. ]

Anyway, sorry. Thanks in advance!

(ooc: Feel free to have characters come across Katara from where she's filming in the park, too!)

bakudan_bambino

[The video feed cuts on with Gokudera sitting in a tattered living space. It looks like a giant cat has been using every piece of furniture as a scratching post.]

Is there a daycare somewhere in this place? Parents that miss looking after children? One of the kids from my world showed up. He’s five, and a pain in the ass. The Tenth and I have to go to school, so we need someone to look after Lambo while we’re unavailable.

[He clearly has his hands full. There’s a real leopard living in his little apartment, and he has his job and school. Lambo can’t be cooped up all day while he furthers his education. He’s considered no longer going to classes, but he’s not Lambo’s guardian!

Even if he’s been acting like it for a bit now, and trying to be sneaky about it.]

how do you make dreams stop?

[The message appears fairly early in the morning, maybe 4-5 AM.]

Good evening everyone, I hope you are doing well.

I know that the celebration of Valentine will soon be upon us. I have not celebrated it myself, but I know it is quite common to give gifts to someone you fancy.

So I thought I might help with that with some fesitve wreaths for the occasion. They can be for yourself or for your beloved or family.

Every flower and color has a meaning, so depending on the message you wish to send, we can absolutely change the colors.

I wanted to ensure I could get these ready before the holiday in question, so please let me know what you would like.

[it's four in the morning, time to ask bordering-on-invasive questions on the network!]

so what did all of you do, anyways?

before you showed up here, i mean. were you just some no-name loser or were you some kind of big shot? i bet it must have sucked if you went from people listening to you and then ending up at the bottom of the food chain!

or are you getting a huge ego boost from this place calling you some sort of hero that's vital to saving all the different worlds out there? does it make you feel important? more then you would have at home, where nothing you did mattered? lol

this gig isn't too different from what i was up to before, honestly. the quests are a bit lower stakes and some of them are so easy it almost makes you want to cry, and i've got way more free time now. still, kind of nice to know there's always room for a weapon. gets you some decent money.

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.

glossophobia

Hello, I was hoping to be able to get the help of a few people in regards to the special ice cream being asked about on the marketboard. I wanted to use healing magic for it but I've never tried applying it into an object, since I'm used to healing people just by touching them. It might be a little bit of trial and error but I guess if it doesn't work out well the worst that will happen is you get to eat normal ice cream.

[ And that isn't so terrible is it? Unless you don't even like ice cream. And whats wrong with you if you do?! ]

Since the magic would be healing in nature I'd like to request volunteers that need something of that sort, for example, if you feel fatigued or under the weather in any regard. If you're sick that's fine but please let me know. I live with other people and would rather not have them get sick too. And of course, if the ice cream doesn't work, I'll heal your illness normally.

( In Asriel's opinion, it's always better to make a text post when he's upset about something. He doesn't want to worry anyone, especially when he's well aware that he's someone who's rather sensitive. He just has a brief question to ask as it is. )

... We never really know when people leave when they do, huh?

Do you think that the people who leave ever come back...?

( It's hard not to miss friends that he's not sure he'll see again. He's lost people important to him before -- but at the least, those he know who have left are going home. Not only that, but they're going to back to a home where they still have friends and family waiting for them.

He just wishes he had a chance to at least say good bye. )

corruptedsave

[It's the local red-eyed kid again! Looking bored as heck inside their inn room.]

You know, I have a question. Mostly for you adults around here.

[Maybe it's something deep they have to ask of the network...]

You guys do know that like, there are kids here, so why post about adult things on this?

[Or not.]

plenilunium

[The video opens up to a room with fake candles around. Jyushi would usually go for actual candles but he is sharing the space with someone else so he isn't going to be too dangerous.

Also, he has a tiger's eye around his neck as a necklace. He has no idea what people are using it for and he just think it's a pretty gem :(]

Ah, the cold winds are upon us! Cruel ice, tearing at our skin! We often think of many parts of ourselves, but our lips...? One of the most important parts of our bodies?!

[Usually he'd do the whole video with his visual kei persona but this is important so he's quick to go to his usual voice:]

First of all, it's important to use a lip exfoliant! [The camera is zoomed in on his lips. Why? Well, it's about lip care after all. So it's zoomed in on his lips and then he holds up an ointment lip balm.] Make sure to use a lip balm that has ointment! Essential oils or something can work but so can glycerin! You want to stay away from harsh things for your lips. They've got a lot to do!

[That sure is a way to word that.]

You'll want to be careful about licking your lips. Don't do that! It can be really bad for them, especially in the winter. I just wanted to help everybody out so their lips can stay strong for the tough time ahead of us!

Out of morbid curiosity, has anyone of us otherworlders died during their stay here and then been brought back to life? If so, how does that process work?

I've heard there are other worlds (like this) where coming back to life happens but I'm curious to know how this place handles death.

Since we're connected to our familiars I can be imagine they'd be affected by our death too.

dabeastmastah

I have red stone to trade.

[He holds up said red stone. For anyone that was interested in the events from last month they would probably recognize it as the crystals from the Lotus Pod Mountains. The ones that enhanced blood magic. A good number of them had been worked into a variety of points. Each as beautiful, and sharp looking, as the next. A few had already been worked into various tools. Such as knives, spears, and arrows. Some were made from bone, others used wood.

Still more were left as unworked chunks of rock. Mixed among them being a variety of stone and other crystal, as well as materials. The big, bearded guy himself was currently working on another one. Whittling away at one of the cores he broke off. It looked like a complex process (it is) but he seemed to be doing it with practiced and experienced ease. If not a bit of bored laziness.]

Open for offer. Prefer... book... paper... writing tool... fire stick.

FRIENDS! AVALONS! COUNTRYMEN! LEND ME YOUR EARS!

[ Della has slammed open the video, hands smacking the countertop - she's in Fenton's lab for this, probably ~~definitely~~ without his permission, but she needed a science-y background for this incredibly important announcement! To her left is her familiar, Amelia the moon rabbit, casually nibbling on some carrots. There's also wooden stand holding up a large stack of papers, meant to be folded back.]

I've been here for some time now - I haven't kept exact track because that would remind me how long I've been away from my family, again, and that's a can of worms we do not want opened - and as much as I've enjoyed learning about all the different worlds out there, I've also discovered something absolutely APPALLING! So many of your worlds... do not know the majesty that is... PLANES!

[ She rips off the first piece of paper, showing a detailed while still rather cartoony rendition of a plane - to be more specific, the Sunchaser... Er, CloudSlayer. ]

Behold! This is merely one - granted, one of the best - example of the most wonderful machines to have ever been invented for the purpose of transportation! Simply out, it can take you from one place to the other by traveling in the sky! Soaring through the clouds, weaving around mountains, defying the very wind itself!

[ Page rip! The interior cockpit is shown, Della borrows a carrot to begin pinpointing. ]

And, sure, just being a passenger is thrilling itself, but truly nothing beats the experience of taking the flight controls in your hand, running your fingers over instrument panels, and entering your destiny in the sky! Which leads me to my most important point yet!

[ Page rip! Very sketchy blueprint details, along with the $$$ symbol all over. ]

I wanna build one. FOR ALL OF YOU. A good chunk for me, but MOSTLY FOR ALL OF YOU. Because it's cruel that so many of you don't know this experience! Now, the problem is, while I've fixed planes before... I've never actually built one from scratch. I usually left that to my uncle Scrooge... who left it to his engineers... and, um, he's also the richest duck in the world, so as you can imagine, some steps in my knowledge have been skipped.

Now, I'm not expecting anyone to just hand over money and supplies willy-nilly. Which brings me to my final point!

[ The final page, which is a drawing of Della herself, with two thumbs up, and the words HIRE ME ]

Who am I? Della Duck, adventurer extraordinaire! I've mangled monsters, wrestled wraiths, and fought more pirates than there are feathers on my backside! And I've been doing it since I was a duckling! In this world, I've got Kinetic and Dark magic! Plus, during my time here, I've learned a ton of spells and potions and gotten all kinds of magical items that just build every month! I can help you on quests! I can teach you how to fight! I can babysit your kids! I can let you use me as a training dummy! I can be an extra set of helping hands for your chores! Name it, and I'm there!

Honestly, I usually spend most of December building traps for Santa Claus, but since that's no longer an issue for me, I've got tons of free time, so... let's take that first step making planes together!

[Aurora is humming softly, weaving sprigs of evergreen together, a little bird handing her berries or plants, several squirrels, rabbits, and chipmunks holding twigs or pinecones but she's honestly surrounded by all sorts of animals in her home. A giant fire is going in her fireplace, the whole room gives off a feeling of warmth.]

Al...most.... done. [She held out her hand for a pinecone, the chipmunk handing it to her.] Aaand there.

[She held up the wreath.]

It may not be a traditional Evergreen Yule Wreath, but it is rather lovely.

The dried oranges were an excellent idea. [She said as she turned to look at the giant Eurasian Eagle-owl perched on the back of her chair.] Thank you for the suggestion, Vivek.

If anyone else would like, I have plenty enough to make more wreaths, especially as the solstice is almost here! Thought they may be much more traditional than this. Or, if you would like to imbue it with your own home's warmth and protection, I can show you how to make one.

[The video cuts on to Gokudera looking well-rested, sitting in his living room with his pet leopard draped over his lap.]

To anyone I haven’t reached out to yet, the collar is off. I’m alive.

Ochako, you’re amazing. To everyone involved and every person who has supported me, Thank you.

[He bows, and the leopard in his lap growls in complaint.]

I can start going to school! Uh… and I guess I can start my new job, since one of my bosses is no longer in this world.

If anyone wants to celebrate… How do you celebrate something like this? I wouldn’t be opposed.

prontissimo

[ On the feed is a young boy, probably a preteen, with a mess of sun-bleached golden brown curls, tanned, freckled skin, sun-burnt cheeks, and a rather worried expression on his face... apprehensive to be making this post at all. But, for what it's worth, he puts on some airs, just a hint of bravado, in a vain attempt to save face. With the camera apparently propped up in front of him, in the background are a lot of strange trinkets strung over an old fishing net hanging in front of a sunny window, crystals dangling from a dead tree branch he brought inside for some reason, refracting colorful light from the sun vaguely, if one looks closely. Very lovely, if not a little odd. But his news to deliver today is much less charming than this homey scene... ]

Uhhh— Ciaaaooo... Everyone...

[ Oh, man, just that tone is not a promising start. ]

So, um, I'm looking for my pet... She's missing. She ran away. By accident, not on purpose, because I can totally take care of her and I'm a great pet-dad — just for the record! [ A-Also not instilling confidence here... ]

Her name's Sofia and she's a, uh— comp— compinagthus—? Compnagsathus. [ Nailed it. ]

She has beautiful eyes and she looks like this:

[ He holds up a very impressive drawing (minus the stickers and other dinosaurs, Sofia is the star here!) to the camera for all to see, leaving it in the frame for a few seconds while he continues. ]

If anyone sees a big lizard monster thing running around town, that's probably my Sofia. Lemme know if you do, will ya? Oh, and she's, uh— kiiinda shy, so, if you try to catch her— maybe... don't? Just a heads up.

[ He... clearly means she's gonna try to bite you. Yeah, that's right: Alberto's released a small but apparently potentially vicious dinosaur on the town. Whoops...? ]

And! And! If anyone out there knows a lot about compsagnathisuses, tell me everything you know, okay?! [ A hint of more urgency, as he lowers the drawing and points at the camera with his free hand, brows raised, meaning business! But ends the feed pretty awkwardly, shifting his eyes away before meeting the camera's eye straight-on again with a look of forced resolve. ]

Sooo, yeah— Bye?

[ And leans forward to shut the video off clumsily. This was... Not. a comforting post. ]

(( ooc: If anyone wants to hand wave they've seen her, that she's bothered them or caused some chaos, anything at all, just wing it and I'll roll with it, feel free! If you wanna transition to logs to look for her or encounter her by chance, let's go for it! THERE'S A ROGUE DINOSAUR IN TOWN, sky's the limit! ☆ ))
