how do you make dreams stop?

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

[The video opens up to a familiar face to some, probably unfamiliar face to most. Ochako here hasn't much used the network herself - mostly just checks it and responds to friends and things that ping her interest, mostly. But today? Today is special.

Because today is the day she need a bit of...advice? Help?? Guidance???

Something. She sure fucking needs something right now, holy shi--]

Um...h-hello, everyone. My name is Uraraka Ochako - but, eheh...pl-please call me Ochako-chan, or Uraraka-san if you want to be formal. [She clears her throat, looking off camera very, very frequently, at something just out of the camera's viewfinder.] So, I...h-have a question? I guess?

Um!! I-I know you can kind of get famous and stuff here - kind of like a celebrity I guess? Or, uh...y'know.

Status [She coughs into her fist, glancing offscreen then back.] Titles.

[There's a long, long, LONG pause, before she plucks the letter she got in her Inn room's mailbox and reads it over again, silently, one of the pages on the back of it very clearly addressed to Lady Uraraka.]

I have a house.

...Castle.

Castle-house.

And...land. So very much land. Ehehehe...hehe...hee.

[Her giggle afterwards is slightly manic, and there's a delicate sheen of sweat now on her brow, and a pleading look to the camera that very obviously is a cry of:

I AM SIXTEEN YEARS OLD, WHAT THE FUCK DO I DO???]

pridefulness

[ A young teen glowers down at his screen. He's completely drenched, and his hair is plastered to his forehead and sticking up at odd angles as a result. He seems to be out in the woods, and the faint sound of a crackling fire can be heard in the background. Probably so he can dry off. Or attempt to, at the very least. Kid looks like he went for a swim fully clothed, which isn't too far from the truth. ]

My name is Sasuke Uchiha. Not that it means anything here, but I'm a ninja from the village hidden in the leaves. [ He sounds maaaaybe a little bit salty. Though that could just be because of the day he's having. In either case, while he knows Konoha doesn't exist here, part of him hopes he's not the only shinobi in Avalon.

He sighs. ]

Look, I'll keep this brief: I need to learn how to weaponize my healing magic. [ ... ] I'll take any leads I can get.

[ It sounds ridiculous (and it definitely is) but Sasuke has a one-track mind when it comes to most things. He's determined to get stronger, and the power of healing kind of gets in the way of that.

There's a sound from offscreen like a bird mimicking laughter. Sasuke glares in the direction of the sound. ]

Shut up. No one asked you.

( ooc: In order to verify things, Sasuke attempted to walk on water. It went poorly. Anyone is welcome to have seen the attempt! If they would have approached afterward, we can either action it out here or log! )

kirijo

Good afternoon, everyone. For those of you that I haven't already met, my name is Mitsuru Kirijo.

[ Mitsuru offers a slight bow to the camera. ]

I’ll be brief: in light of recent events, I think that it’s been made clear that more extensive preparations are necessary to prevent another tragedy like the devastation of Celliwig and Lestari. I’m far from the first person to make this observation, or to suggest that more frequent practice or better coordination would benefit us during a similar situation. What I would like to propose is a sort of informal organization to help provide the structure necessary to facilitate that. A guild of sorts, if you will.

The basic premise is to provide a framework for people to train together, assist each other with improving their magic, and find individuals to undertake quests with. This would be accomplished by the group meeting three times weekly at a sanctioned training area for a communal training session, and by the establishment of a group chat to allow members to arrange additional training sessions and find questing partners. Participation would be open to anyone interested, with the understanding that they are required to participate in at least one of these weekly training sessions.

I believe the potential benefits are fairly straightforward. Individuals looking to improve their magical abilities would have a structured environment in which to do so, and access to training partners that might offer useful insight or friendly competition to help spur further growth. Training and questing together will help familiarize us with each other’s capabilities and fighting styles, allowing us to coordinate more smoothly in the … inevitability of another crisis like the one we’ve just faced.

With the explanation out of the way, I suppose what’s left is an interest check of sorts. I’d like to know who would be interested in joining such a group, and any questions or suggestions that you all might have as to how it should be organized.

In any case, I thank you for your time, and I look forward to hearing from you.

angelolatry

I figured. I know things are a little more cramped right now, so I hope everyone's doing okay at the inn! I only very recently figured my own little place, but. I hope it isn't too bad. But I wanted to ask too. I heard about some holidays, celebrations coming up. Halloween is soon, right? We didn't have it back home, but I gather it's where you get to dress up and go get candy? Sweets? I guess sort of like giving people things like Genis' cookies back home? It sounds fun! I'm not sure what to dress up, but I think I'd like to give it a try.

Oh! Maybe I can make something for Emerald too!

[The Familiar seems to, if possible, raise an eyebrow at that idea, as if she is Unsure on allowing this. But then. It's Colette and she is nothing if not enthusiastic, as she is with most anything. It's hard if not impossible to really say no. And then Colette all but lights up again. Which is just her expression as she lies on her bed, but also that might be more in the literal sense given her light magic.]

Ooooooh! I could dress up all the dogs at the café! That would be so cute! Maybe that would help them find a new home!

[.....Yup, this is why her friends all say the topic of conversation always goes out the window where Colette is concerned. She always gets distracted or the topic goes over her head and she misinterprets things.....]

[ When the camera clicks on, it takes a second to focus, like the wielder isn’t quite used to filming, but the image becomes clear soon enough: a solid-looking door with ivy crawling up the wall on either side. On the door’s sole window, painted in simple, blocky black letters, are the words INUI CONSULTING. ]

It’s not home. [ Juzo’s voice comes from somewhere behind the camera. ] But it’ll do.

[ The camera suddenly switches perspective, landing squarely on Juzo’s barrel. As ever, he has a cigarette clamped between his teeth, smoke trailing behind him and background bobbing as he walks into the office. ]

Back home, I worked as a Resolver, which is pretty much what it sounds like: if folks had a problem, I’d solve it for them. Not for free, of course. I’m not runnin’ a charity.

[ A moment of jostling while he takes a seat at his desk. He takes the cigarette from his mouth and exhales a plume of smoke off to the side. ]

Anything from finding missing persons, to bodyguard work, to negotiating peace between rival gangs. My skills cover a wide array. So, I figured why not keep it up here? Not everything’s gonna make it onto the Questboard. And besides, wouldn’t wanna get rusty.

My doors are open. Prices are negotiable based on the job. If you’ve got questions, feel free to ask.

[ He’ll end the transmission by dropping a pin with the location of his office, for anyone who wants to swing by. ]

(( OOC: Inui Consulting is open for business! Feel free to visit that page for more details, or chat with Juzo here if you want! ))

[There's an image of a school worksheet. Some of the questions at the top of the page have been answered, some have been half-answered, and there's a few left blank. The handwriting is not the best, but legible.]

Is anyone else taking cross-species communication at the school? I'm really confused about these last questions. Fairy customs are really confusing.

And I don't really get the Elemental Magic assignment either.

I forgot how much I hate homework.

beautyrest

Hello everyone, my name is Aurora and I hope you fair well this morning.

I am sure many of you have heard of Sir Claude's feast announcement, and I truly find it to be a marvelous idea!

If I may, though, I had noticed while he spoke to others, that many mentioned they did not know how to cook or bake.

Admittedly, I am no master chef but I know my way around a kitchen and several recipes well enough. If you would like, I do not mind offering assistance so you can learn how to make something a recipe home... Or at the very least, trying my best to help replicate the dish in question.

All I ask of you, in turn, is that you provide the recipe and ingredients, I shall provide the kitchen and instructions. Though, I will also happily supply one of my own recipes and ingredients as well, if you find yourself in want of ideas.

It has come to my attention that the poison used in Celliwig's trials this past moon were sourced from my store.

If you have suffered side-effects as a result of it then please notify me here or privately. I don't believe my alchemy to be so poor as to leave side-effects, but I would like to be certain.

And no, I was not aware the potion would be used for the trials when they were purchased. Let me be very clear on that before you all start pointing fingers.

madcuriosity

Oh ah, hello everyone, I do hope you're having a lovely day. I was wondering if I might ask a question, and since so many people here are from so many different worlds, I am sure someone is bound to know the answer...

Though I suppose I could always try it for myself. [She mumbles.]

You see, last month, Mr. Ken and I were discussing something, and I have been trying to find the answer on my own but I can't find anything about it in books. [Alice is still from a time when you looked in books for all your answers, not the internet. But hey, at least she's gotten to this point.]

My question is: Can you melt strawberries?

We were discussing making chocolate-covered strawberries, and Mr. Ken, in his usually pessimistic way [Calling out her adopted brother, don't mind her.] mentioned he might melt strawberries as something that could go wrong.

And I got so terribly curious! [Because of course she did.] I know you can blend strawberries and mash them and mush them, grind them and dice them and all sorts to make jams and preserves and jellies and drinks, but not MELT them.

So, can you? That is, can you melt strawberries? I do have elemental magic, how hot does the fire have to be to melt it? I suppose logically you COULD melt anything.

Oh! Oh are there things that are unmeltable? [She tilts her head and taps her lips.] Is unmeltable a real word? It doesn't SOUND like a real word. [Alice shrugs, quite used to making up words at this point in her life.]

In any case, any answers to my question, or oh! Perhaps help in setting up the experiment to see if strawberries can melt, would be much appreciated!

Thank you very much! [And thus, she curtsies to the camera.]

angelolatry

[Colette seems cheerful enough at least, as usual. If perhaps a little nervous but at the same time, given what she wants to discuss perhaps that is to be expected. Thinking about the future is difficult. Scary. Especially when previously she hasn't really had reason to plan, to need to think about the future. In assuming she would only live to see sixteen. That she had it all planned out for her in being the Chosen. She sits in her room at the inn again, curled up on the bed with Emerald at her lap.]

I've been thinking. About what I want to do here, I mean! I think I want to....um. Remember those bunny cafes? I want to do something like that? But for dogs! Maybe where people can come meet some that are waiting to be adopted? I'm not the best at cooking but I do okay? Or maybe if someone else wanted to help with that. I'm not sure on how big -- how busy this sort of thing would be? But for dogs it might need to be a little bigger than the bunny cafes....

I'll still help out with anyone that wants it for their plants or flowers or crops to help them grow too! I just figure. I like dogs. And sweets. So....as long as I figure the right place. And have enough money for it? Even then, I'm not really used to thinking about the future. What I want to do, anything after my Journey.

[She fidgets a little but she does figure seeming to calm more when Emerald briefly raises her head for pets.]

I was also going to ask. I know birthdays have been mentioned. I guess they still count? Even here? Because. Um. Mine is the end of the month. I'd be seventeen.

[Seventeen years old. The girl who was never expected to live past sixteen. This concept of being seventeen, older even. Having a future. It's.....new. Still something she is adjusting to. Definitely. But she's trying. Learning.]

And I guess here, it won't be a church ceremony. Like I've had up till now back home on my birthday.

[This would be. More about her. About Colette. Not the Chosen. About it being one year closer to her leaving for her Journey. It would certainly be new. A different way to celebrate. Probably more akin to when she was twelve and Lloyd and Genis made her that pendant and cake.

Still, for now she simply gives a small smile, even as she finishes up.]

But I guess. For others it's usually.....a party, right? With cake and all your friends?

[At least. She recalls as much from others having their birthday. From when Lloyd had his. Or Genis. It's kind of exciting? If also kind of strange and new and nerve-wrecking in her not having really properly done this birthday thing before herself exactly.]

[ The photograph attached to the post depicts the front of a small shop called Polydegmon's Lapidary and Brew. It's got that 'new store' look, where everything looks pristine and nothing has been touched by grime or dust settling in the corners yet. It's not the most terribly modern-looking place (look, the rent was cheap).

He wouldn't even be advertising it here if a certain someone didn't bug him to. Honestly, he could do without the publicity... ]

I am now accepting commissions as a goldsmith and alchemist. My hours are from midday to six, weekdays only. Or whatever it is you call them. No, my prices are not negotiable.

[ Attached beneath the above terse remark is the address to the store. ]

Additionally, I will NOT accept requests for items to use in warfare of any sort. At all. If I find that you have done so then I will make sure you regret it for the remainder of your days.

(ooc: Please respect that a character will suffer some kind of IC consequence if they try and use his products as IC war propaganda or in serious IC war efforts. Doubly so if they deceive him for it.

[CW: Discussions of warfare in certain threads. Please use discretion when reading.]

machismost

[ The camera blips up into the curious and earnest face of a teenaged boy, cherry-red hair hanging lank around his face and a slightly different shade of red eyes; his right eye seems flecked with an almost unremarkable scar just above its eyelid, thin but slanting up to nearly touch the brow above it. His expression splits in a little smile, almost sweet except for all his lips hint at the points of serrated teeth beneath them. It's understandably difficult to feel at ease with a smile full of shark's teeth. ]

So this might be a pretty dumb question, but what kinda magic's involved with styling your hair to the point, like, you want it to stay somethin' else? It's gotta exist here, right? I saw a cliff make itself into a bunch of arms before I even got here and bunnies burst outta a flower... So you guys can definitely turn hair colors and freeze it into a particular style, right? Anybody?

[ Listen... a lot of other newbies have been putting out some big questions and it'd be a lie to say Kirishima isn't digging through them, along with talk about war. Still, he feels like maybe a bit of levity is needed.

That isn't to say he doesn't sincerely want someone to tell him spiking up his hair might be a permanent, dyable possibility... cuz he does. ]

rediscovering

1. what do you know about job interviews?
i didnt know you have to interview to get jobs. even if it's just at a restaurant!! regardless of whether the job itself involves talking to people at all!!? stupid

[ Guess who's been bombing interviews as a part-time busboy all over town. And who's only bothering to ask about proper employment beyond random quests, um, now, after several months of just getting by...? He must be getting tired of stealing hotchips from the cornerstore. ]

2. what do you know about going to school as a full-time student here?
i heard you can make a living like this
insight about going to school in other worlds could be useful too. i was homeschooled....

[ But at least he's thinking in terms of solutions. ]

angelolatry

I've.....had...well. A lot. A lot explained to me about things back home since I got here. I'm just, I guess, wondering if that's happened to others too. That they don't remember as much as others from home that have shown up? How you have dealt with it? In my case....basically everything I was told since I can remember, it's all been lies. Not that I think everyone meant to, just that the truth of it all happened so long ago and they didn't know the real reasons behind the Chosen's Journey. I guess I'm still figuring it. How to feel. How to deal with knowing, now.

[Colette's had a little time now but it isn't something that she will adjust to overnight. Something that will be forgiven and understood so easily, for all that she generally is a forgiving doormat type considering her issues regarding her self-esteem because of the Chosen system she was brought up with. She takes a moment, a sigh being heard before one could possibly almost imagine and see the small smile at her lips as she tries to change topic to something lighter.]

Ah, but. I've been thinking too! About what I want to do here? What I can do to help out somehow at least. I was thinking.....um. Dogs! Maybe, like the bunny cafes? Or something like helping take people's dogs for walks or looking after them when someone goes out on a quest or something? Maybe? Either that or perhaps something with plants. Since I have that magic - Green magic. I'm still learning, but. Maybe that might be another option. To make use of these abilities here. If someone needs help with their plants, their flowers. I probably should try help out more, find work, somewhere else besides the inn to stay.

Hey, everyone! My name is Della Duck!

... And yes, I am a duck, where I'm from the majority of us are birds, we're the same as you, blah blah blah let's skip past that. Boy, that's getting old.

So! I've done this whole world-saving, dimension-hopping, monster-fighting thing pretty much all my life. I love finding out about different places, and in a place like this, where everyone is from a different place? It's so much fun learning about everyone and everything!

With that, for anyone else who'd like to learn about each other and other worlds, I thought I'd try an ice breaker from my world - Two Truths And A Lie! It's simple - You say three facts about yourself, and people guess which one is the lie. I know ya'll can cheat and look at other people replying for the answers, but, c'mon guys, let's be cool. Go as many rounds as you want!

I'll start us off!

One : I'm the mother of triplet boys.
Two : I once did an internship with a sorceress.
Three : I'm an ace pilot!

Your turn!

[ ooc: threadhopping/jacking is allowed and encouraged! ]

angelolatry

-- there? I think that's it! Um. I'm Colette! For those that are newer and I haven't met yet. I just wanted to say thank you to everyone that have helped me so far!

[Colette by now has had a little more practice at least. Enough that it....is actually properly showing her this time and not a ridiculous number of dogs. She focuses the camera onto her, sitting on her bed at the inn with a notebook at her lap. In it is a picture of a huge tree, and two figures.]

I have only been here a few weeks. So a lot I'm still adjusting to, but. We have such an opportunity here! To share our knowledge and everything. Stories and celebrations and all sorts, from so many different places. I guess the main one I remember from home were about the Goddess Martel and Mithos the Hero.

"Once upon a time, there existed a giant tree that was the source of mana. A war, however, caused this tree to wither away, and a hero's life was sacrificed in order to take its place. Grieving over the loss, the goddess disappeared unto the heavens. The goddess left the angels with this edict: ‘You must wake me, for if I should sleep, the world shall be destroyed.’ The angels bore the Chosen One, who headed towards the tower that reached up unto the heavens. And that marked the beginning of the regeneration of the world."

[She focuses the phone more at the notebook for a moment. Giving everyone a better view of her attempt to recreate the story she recalls so well. So vividly from her classes, from her time at the Church back home.]

I guess, that's why it's so amazing to me, here. Sylvarant was in decline. The crops dying. The people suffering. Here, I figured I can make things grow! Well, and the light? But that's something I guess I wish I'd been able to do to help, back home. I know I did what I could to help, as the Chosen, but still. For all that it's a lot to adjust to, especially with being able to eat, feel and sleep and talk again, and not having my wings, this place really is amazing. Obviously I'm still new with these new abilities. I'm still learning, practicing and figuring them and this place out. But I'm sure I'll get there! I just need to work at it more!

[And she is getting a little sidetracked from her initial intent here. Just a tad. She shakes her head, before tilting it some, a small smile at her lips even as she seems rather curious and excited after raising her hand to one of the little pot plants in the room and just barely noticeably makes the plant grow a tiny bit in demonstration if one really pays attention.]

But what about everyone else? What about the stories from your homes? How are you all adjusting here?

[A whine can be heard, and she glances to the side, murmuring something about feeding her familiar soon, as then an oversized.....white and green dog....? appears in the screen's view and licks at Colette's cheek, causing her to giggle as she reaches to stop the feed.]

scension

Those of you with familiars, I have a question - how do you name them? Did it give you any trouble?
What happens if they don't like it?

It doesn't feel like naming a pet, or some future family member. Waiting for inspiration to strike hasn't worked yet.
And now I'm starting to feel like I have to give this phone a name, too.

beaumains

[ The video clicks on to what was probably by then a familiar face to some, a bright smile and warm expression on her face as always. She was out of her armor, but her lance was propped up against the wall just behind her. ]

Hey everyone! Some of you know me, but for anyone who doesn't...

I'm Sir Gareth of Orkney, Knight of the Round Table in Service of His Majesty Arthur, King of Britain!

[ Yeah she just... outright gave her whole-ass True Name because she's never had to keep it hidden before. That, and given she was still very certain this wasn't a Grail War of any sort, well, she had no obligation to follow those rules. So she wouldn't. It was easier for her to make friends with her actual name, after all. ]

Um, but not THAt Arthur. The one that rules here, I mean. And I'm not the same Gareth that was mentioned in the Archivist's books, either. It's complicated, ugh, so I'll just get right to the point...

[ She reaches behind her, pulling out one of the crystal-like shells that were loaded into her lance. At the moment, it was completely dark... ]

These are Mana Charges, uh, Merlin designed them to hold a charge of magic that I could activate with my lance back there, but when fighting off the raiders at the Silent Shore, I wound up burning them all out.

[ She tossed the shell back and forth in her hands, and tried to give it a little jolt of her own power, lighting flashing from her hands and into the shell. But the crystal only glowed briefly before burning out, like a dead lightbulb... ]

And, as you can see, my magic here isn't near strong enough yet to power them up myself.

So... anyone want to help me out here? I'll pay you in chocolate cupcakes!

apshot

I'm tired of this light magic barrier bullshit.

Lasers. Something to actually attack with because like hell I'm going to let myself stand there like a dumbass while someone comes at me and tries to smack me around.

So who knows how to do them and where can I find them.
