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?

[A panning shot of the outdoors; it appears to be a meadow by the river to the west of Camelot. Eivor speaks from off-screen]

Yes...this will do.

[The screen turns to Eivor's face; she appears to be walking as she speaks.]

The Fae Queen makes her demands and Arthur would have us mired in endless debate, but I know my course of action. Our worlds are frozen in a moment without end; I have seen this calamity for myself thanks to Ardenbury-thegn's boon. I will not waste time on debate, or to submit to these demands of trials and trade.

In my world, the kings of Christian lands pay the Danegeld, tribute offered to raiders such as our own to keep their lands from becoming our hunting grounds. Even the great emperor of Miklagard who supposedly stands above those kings pays us our due. Those who do not, we overrun and take what we wish from them ourselves. As with them, so will this Queen Mab.

Here, in this field I will build a longship, with oars to row up-river, to Celliwig. I will have warriors with me. We will find a village, or some other gathering of Mab's Fae, and we will burn it. We will burn their homes, we will burn their fields and we shall take anything of value that we like. We will send a message to Queen Mab that she will pay our Danegeld; whatever relic, knowledge or power that she possesses that will help undo this calamity, she will surrender...or all of Celliwig becomes our hunting ground.

I need warriors for this raid, and to assist in the building of the longship. We must transport the materials from Camelot to this location to build the ship. The Fae are said to possess illusions, and I will need people with the ability to dispel this magic. I know such power exists, and we will need it for this venture to succeed.

Come with me, and your reward will be this; whatever you take, you keep. Your spoils will be your own. If any Fae draw their blades against you, deal with them as you like, as warriors, and take from them what you will. But know this, any Fae who flee or cower before us, they are to be left alone. Anyone who takes a life in such dishonour will forfeit their spoils and will answer to me, besides. This is about sending a message to Queen Mab that we will not submit to her demands or dance to her song. And we will need someone to deliver that message to her.

If you would join me, come to the docks at New Camelot. That is where the materials we will need for our longship are. And we will make ready to go a-viking.

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.

Recommendations for what to do with shed antlers, go.

Can they be used for magic? Weapons? Something like that. I've heard they can make good chew toys for carnivores.

And before anyone asks: they are mine, not some deer in the woods. I did not go hunting down something and take its antlers.

Alright, folks, one more question:

What's your favorite food that doesn't include meat? I want to try some new things and am getting bored of the same-old.

ensuredsurvival

Assuming one doesn't want to make everyone their enemy by random target practice, what is the best way to practice dark magic?

My familiar isn't being helpful in suggesting ideas.

Any other information about the magic is appreciated as well. I'm very new.

You can also tell me the best places to get tea.

[There's a number of false starts here. The video blipping on to a green eye then cutting out. Then snapping back on to a shock of blue hair.]

How the hell does this thing wo—

[Nope, it's out again.]

[One more time now. The picture is askew and there's a tall, blue-haired man tapping the lens of the camera, tongue sticking out of the corner of his mouth. Some of you may recognize him from the training grounds at the Red Spring. He was the one going around asking people to hurt him. You know. Like a crazy person.]

Okay, is it working? Screw it.

So, this thing is some sort of communicator, right? Well, for those of you who can see this, the name's Darin Altway, Master Blacksmith, at your service.

Now, I know we're all here for ~magical~ reasons and whatnot, but if this world is anything like mine, then you guys are gonna need top notch gear to prevent you from.

Y'know.

Dying.

And that's where I come in! Like I said, I'm a Master Blacksmith, and I'm here to offer up my services! I might not have a forge set up, but that doesn't mean I can't perform general maintenance, and if anyone can point me to some resources, I can start stockpiling!

Saving multiple worlds -- no, multiple universes, do you think that is enough to erase the sins that a person has committed?

Or is this merely what is right for those that are sinners?

Perhaps, redemption is beyond us and we can only do a little bit of good before judgement.

[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
