This may seem a strange question to some.

[But Thanatos does not often indulge his curiosity, so he is doing so right now.]

I have been wondering if there are any others here like myself, who had an existence dedicated only to a single purpose from the moment it began. Before arriving in Avalon I had barely considered the possibility of deviating from mine.

Very suddenly having a great deal of free time was new, unexpected, and a struggle to become accustomed to.

I suspect, given the number here from other worlds, that it isn't only myself and my brother who led such lives before. I would like to hear from others, and hear how they have dealt with the adjustment.

What's the one thing you would change about your life to make it better?

( he could say that this is anonymous to avoid people feeling weird telling their answers to a therapist, but really it's simply to avoid Kurusu-kun worrying about the meaning of all of this.

it's fine. he's fine. this is simply academic curiosity. )

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.

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. )

[It has been a bit since Claire had the spoons to address the network, but she knows when she's in a bad place, and knows that talking is something that helps her cope...so she opens the feed to make some sort of broadcast.

It sits open for a moment, the only sound the shifting of clawed feet on wood and Claire's breath. She hesitates, unsure of what she wants to say, until her familiar's deep baritone voice rumbles out.]

Ask the question, Claire.

[She sighs, and finally spits out what she'd come up with.]

So. I lost someone important to me. Pretty much the person that was motivating me to give a shit about...basically everything. I don't want to talk much about that, because that won't bring her back, but to those that knew her, I know she'll think fondly of you.

What I do want to talk about is finding that motivation. What has you getting up in the morning, this far from home? Why do you get out and do stuff? I wanna know what helps other people focus beyond just survival instinct.

[Claire pauses, starting to say something but cutting herself off before the words turn into a simple apology. Re-centering herself with an audible breath, she goes on.]

I know, I know, philosophical questions are weird and probably out of place on this network thing, but humor me, okay?

[ Those scrolling past their feeds on this fine day will find themselves greeted with an image post. A singular image, in all its glory(?)...

That's it. Just that picture. Of abs.

Just abs. ]

[ The video comes on - forgive the awkward shifting for a moment. He's not a pro with these cameras yet. ]

Wow - [ a small haha ] things got so serious on here, huh. Well, I'm hoping to relieve a bit of tension here.

So, I'm only asking teeny, tiny questions. And, I mean, you don't have to answer both.

Since I've just started really having dreams of my own here, tell me about your weird, interesting, or funny dreams. I dreamed I turned into a cat and got to sleep all day - It felt so [ his voice lifts ] real!

Also - tell me a joke. Or share something funny you saw. I don't know a lot of jokes, personally. So I'm here to hear from you.

And last, I need a... hoodie. I think that's what they're called. A really big one! I have a nice cape but a hoodie sounds handy!

prismatically

ok you know what. i've been here for however many months now and i think it's officially time for the most important post on the internet.

which is: what's the romance gossip???? what am i missing out on????

i'm not kidding!!!! i only found out like 5 minutes ago that one of my friends is dating somebody!!!! i'm a million years behind and that's NOT acceptable. we need to spill. so consider this a place to air all your romance related whatevers so we can all talk about it. i'll say it again!!! i'm not kidding!! u can even post on anon and ask for advice about stuff if you really want.

i just need to recharge on gossip!! i'm running dry!! SO LET'S TALK ABOUT IT

morns

( so, while everyone else is falling over themselves trying to please fae, Kate has a more important question; )

people from places with magic. powers. whatever you wanna call it.
this place offer the same variety of abilities as your home?

( talking to Riou has had her thinking about this. about the fact that for all the money that's been poured into research and development back home, there hasn't even been the faintest whisper of the kinds of things something like Death Magic can manage. )

penumbrals

I have a question, and while I am not sure if anyone has an answer, I suppose it can't hurt to try.

[ And if there is an answer, she's honestly sure it's not good. But it's been keeping her too distracted to do anything akin to what their job here is meant to be, and if it's like that, how is she meant to help her friends at home at all? ]

Has anyone here experienced the loss of a loved one back home, only to have them return once more at a later date?

[ She sighs. Is that even really what she wants to know? The truth is... ]

I suppose a better question would be to ask if anyone knows useful ways of distracting oneself. It has been over a month since my friend disappeared, and yet I find myself distracted and worried for her well-being...

Why are there so many damn fires. [Granted, Shinji's only actually caught sight of one fire in progress.

But when you have fire-related trauma, one is 'so many.']

And how the fuck are any of them sticking when it just rained all fucking month, I guess. (Don't say 'magic.')
