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. )

[The video will show Kyo at the training area working on figuring his abilities, his newfound magic here. He's by now just figured he has animal magic recently but that is not that surprising. What is? That he has blood magic. Kyo stares wide-eyed and pale at the sight of his arm with blood protruding in the shape of some sort of blade from his elbow.]

What.....what is this?

[Because look. His beads have some History to them but that does not mean he expected this? Kyo isn't sure what to make of this but he does not seem to like it. At all. The way he pales, the way his chest heaves. The way his instinct is to just flee up somewhere high, alone. To try run from it and ignore it. But he can't. Short of not using the magic and he has no clue if that might have consequences as well somehow. Given how new he is to this.]

I knew about the animal one, because of course I have that here, but this?

[This he is less sure on. Less familiar with and more creeped out by. The implications of it and weirdness of it. In using his blood like this. He might have threatened if anyone got it in their head to go after Tohru with her animal magic but he is understandably distracted right now.]

So, did anyone else make time to speak with our lovely friend Gwion?

If you did, what did you make of all this? Did she tell you anything interesting? Is this just another wacky and wild trial from Celliwig to test us, or do you think she's the real deal?

We're short on time, but let's use it wisely and compare what everyone knows. Even if you don't trust her, any information can still be valuable.

[The feed clicks on to show Ami nervously looking at the camera.]

Hi, I'm sorry to bother everyone, but I've just come across a strange message as I was on my way to school. It definitely wasn't here yesterday so it must have been done overnight.

[She camera turns to show a large image of a walled area near the footpath.]

Does anyone know what it might mean? The twin snakes part could refer to the long thick cloud cores in space, as that's what astronomers call them, but then I'm really not sure why the message is here or who it's for.

I guess it could be someone experimenting with poetry...

[There's some quiet shuffling and then Matt's voice comes through, much more subdued than usual. He seems more than a little out of sorts.]

For anyone who knows Pidge Holt, she's gone back to our world.

[It's all he can say before hanging up. Oops. Sorry, Avalon. Matt's not really thinking at the moment.]

[The video opens to show Robyn sitting by the window in her room at the Inn. There are some craft supplies on the windowsill behind her, namely some pieces of white cloth and a pair of scissors. Robyn herself is holding a needle and thread, since she's working on making a teru teru bozu.]

Is anybody else makin' these...teru teru things? I don't like sewin' much, but I wanted to make some anyway. We had so much rain in April, it would be nice to have more sun. I hope those storm sprites will like them.

[And also because she wants to see a tiny fairy wedding outside her window. No matter how strange things can get here, she still gets excited about what she's heard in stories, including fairies.]

I can make the bodies just fine, but... [Robyn snips the end off her thread with the scissors and turns the teru teru bozu towards the camera. The face she's tried to sew on it has a rather crooked smile.] I can't get the faces right. Does anyone have any advice?

[Merlyn, Robyn's falcon, is perched on her chair and cheeps something to Robyn that makes her give him an exasperated look.] Oh, as if you know anythin' about sewin', smarty-feathers.

[Usagi had meant to post about Mamoru being around. She had even started the video...! But Mamoru had a confused question just as she was about to start introducing him.]

Usako, do you know what's twerking? I got some spell but I have no idea what that even is...

Huh? Oh! It's like this...! [The camera then moves as if she's showing him how to twerk as she hums some tune to it.]

[Mamoru still looks confused, but now it's mostly because what even is this spell about. He starts moving his hips to twerk.]

Like this...?

[Congratulations, Mamoru, you have just used your magic on the whole network. This wasn't the Mamoru introduction post Usagi was planning on!!

Eventually Mamoru will stop testing the moves and they both will realize it's recording, but for now enjoy the show.]

[OOC: Answers will also come from Usagi (

starshaper). Fun Fact: 4th walling the both is OK! They're open about it anyway.

Twerk Magic: Enchant your booty so that when you twerk, people are physically unable to look away.]

[ There are a few seconds of silence at the beginning of the message. For speed - and unfamiliarity with text-type devices - Elsa has decided to speak... and yet true to form, for a good several seconds she isn't entirely sure what she should say. In fact, it's only just as the listener might start to think that nothing's going to be said at all that there's a small, throat-clearing cough from the would-be speaker. ]

Hello.

[ An audible sound of skin on skin as Elsa slaps her hand against her face. A small, embarrassed laugh follows. ]

I'm sorry. I confess I'm not entirely sure of what I wanted to say. But I thought perhaps I should send out a message here. It's a little hard to believe, but I've been here for three months now, and I've barely met a single person.

[ That's not quite true; she's met a lot of people, but it's been more in passing. Even the famously introverted former queen is starting to realize she needs more than that. ]

I'm Elsa. Most of my time has been spent practicing my magical abilities, in the hope of being able to help my loved ones back at home. But I'm trying to find a little more balance. After all, it looks like we're going to be here for a while.

So tell me: what do people do around here for fun?

[It's not often that Jade makes use of the network herself, preferring to respond to others, and she's been as preoccupied by the trials as many others have this past week. Even so, something troubling has come to her attention, and she would rather not sit and wonder and worry needlessly, if it indeed ends up being needless.]

I realize there's a great deal going on right now, and so I'll make this brief.

[Her tone is careful and refined, but there's certainly worry beneath all of that, thinly-veiled.]

Has anyone seen or heard from Dimitri recently? Even amidst the trials and current situation with Celliwig, it's unlike him to miss training or go silent.

[At least in her experience. She knows enough about his previous ghosting act to know that this doesn't feel right. If something has gone wrong, he can certainly take care of himself, but that doesn't keep concern from mounting.]

I know he has acquaintances here. If you hear anything, I would greatly appreciate if you would let me know.

[The network is being addressed by a duck wearing a buttoned up shirt, with a mug of coffee. He gives a friendly wave towards the camera!]

Hey! Hi everyone. My name's Drake Mallard. I'm kinda new here? I just got here the other month. So I thought that I'd, y'know, reach out and talk to people. All of this... magic and humans, it sure is a lot to get used to! [He says with a laugh.] But I'm managing. It helps that there's familiar faces around. I've even heard that Darkwing Duck himself is here! So with him around, at least I don't expect crime to be a problem. I just wonder if someone could find definite proof that he's here... [He makes weighing motions with his hands while going on casually.] ...like maybe take pictures, share them on social media, let people know how cool he is? That's how I'll know for sure that we're dealing with the real deal!

[He clears his throat.]

That aside! I do have a few other questions. First of all, I understand that one of the types of magic that I now possess is siphon magic. Just... drains magic right out of magical objects! I haven't really had a chance to really try it yet. Is there... somewhere I can just obtain some items I can use for it? Any Amulets 'R Us? [He chuckles.] Also, what kinds of fiction are popular here? Like in terms of action-fantasy stuff, comic books, that kinda thing! They don't make Darkwing Duck shows or comics in this world, yet, so I'm thinking of finding some kind of series to follow! [And nerd out about.]

Anyway, that's about it. I'll, uh, see you all around!

Salutations! For those who don't know me, my name is Fenton Crackshell-Cabrera. And...well, something a bit strange happened to me recently. Nothing bad, per say, just...unexpected.

When I first arrived here, I began recording and uploading videos of some observations about the relationship between this world's magic and science, and how the magic we're learning can be applied to the scientific community. After getting settled in a bit, the videos on my channel began to include some devices I'm tinkering with, and experiments I'm conducting. It was all really just for fun, and I hadn't thought much of uploading the videos online. But then a few of them started getting popular, and then someone asked if I wanted to have my account verified. So, long story short, I...guess I'm an influencer on social media now?

Which isn't quite the career I intended to take. Not that there's anything wrong with it! I'm just more of a scientist than a social media figure. But the channel is now earning revenue, and while I normally wouldn't really pursue this line of work it's actually beneficial for what I'm hoping to do...which is the main reason I'm reaching out today.

It's my goal to set up a proper science lab, where like minds would be able to create and develop their ideas, and receive assistance and support with their projects. A few people I've spoken to so far have expressed interest in such a thing, so I'm gauging to see who else might like to get involved. Of course, something like this requires funds, and that's why I'll be maintaining my YouTube channel in the meantime. I'm hoping the money I earn from my videos will help finance the lab.

Even if you're not interested in science, I would definitely appreciate any kind of support you could provide, even if it's just sharing some of my videos with a friend. And anyone who might be interested in the lab, let me know.

[ Just as he's about to turn off the video, he gives a surprised cry when something seems to bump into him from below, and the image shakes as he fumbles with the phone. When the screen is righted again, it is zoomed out a bit to show a golden-haired dog looking up at him as it sits directly underneath him. ]

...And this is my lab assistant, Atom. I guess he wanted to say hello too.

[ Atom the lab assistant dog barks, and Fenton rolls his eyes even while patting the dog's head. ]

Anyway, thanks guys.

Hey guys! Today's a super special day! Why? Drum roll in your heads, please... It's the adorable Alice Liddell's birthday! And we may all be stuck in a weird fantasy techno world, but that's no reason not to have celebrations as important as this! It's a free for all, super fun, cake-involved tea party! With a cake made by the lovely and talented Makoto Kino! So, keep an eye out and come on down!

[ Della moves the phone so the viewers can see the outdoor tea party! It's... a little odd, with blue and white banners all over, tea pots and cups of all different shapes, sizes, and colors, and a gigantic pile of cookies that are definitely from those cookie trees. It was clearly made by someone who's never actually been to a tea party.

But, hey! Alice is there in the background, giddily giggling over everything, her cat Basil in her arms.]

Everyone's invited, so come give Alice a lot of happy birthday wishes!

[ A pause, and then she puts the phone back to herself, whispering. ]

... Also, what do you do at tea parties? Caaaause I'm not really sure.

((OOC: feel free to jump right into action and tag around!))

pidgewidgeon

I have a question for everyone: Who do we complain to about these new powers we received? My brother got the ability to communicate with computers, something that I'd love to be able to do! But do you know what I got instead?

[ The video moves from showing Pidge's scowling face to showing a small ficus standing in front of a window with her familiar resting in it's leaves. ]

This bush apparently doesn't like being near windows, [ The camera swings back around to show Pidge's face again ] don't even get me started on plants apparently having preferences [ before swinging back around to the plant ], and I can make it do this.

[ The leaves on the ficus all shake at once before the plant slightly sways to one side and then the other.

The camera then returns to showing Pidge.]

Controlling plants might be the most useless ability ever for me! I have allergies!

[ She took a deep breath, held it for a few seconds, and then let it out all at once ]

I'll respond to any replies I get to this after I move the bush into a darker spot.

tookashirototheknee

Hey, everyone! I know we've all gotten some new magic lately, and really to some of us, magic in general is new, but that's beside the point.

I've been thinking that those of us with computer magic should maybe all get together and have a sharing of our information. It's always much more fun to figure things out in a group!

Maybe just introduce yourself and we'll come up with a place and time to meet!

Oh, right. I'm Matt Holt, Space Nerd, and astronaut, presently back home captured by aliens.

So, uh... hi?

[Maybe this wasn't as good of an idea as he thought when he started.]

vrepit_no

I hate being sick.

[Whooo, boy, yep, that is a stuffy, stuffy nose kind a voice, bassier and more gravelly than the last time Shiro was on the Network.]

Can I ask you guys to talk to me? Text, voice, whatever. I am bored already and it hasn't even been four hours yet.

Tell me about... your familiar. Or your favorite food. Or the place on the island you think everyone should see. Tell meeeeee... if you had any pets before this. Or if you have any now! People have dogs here, right? Maybe cats too? I dunno, I haven't gone looking for pet stores. Figure I have to be able to support one first, and I'm guessing the inn doesn't really do pets.

Oh! Um, could someone do an errand for me? I wanted to go to the store and get some, like. Soup, or microwave food or something for me and my new roommate. I c'n transfer you the money, don't worry about that. Yusuke and Shinryu have just forbidden me to get out of bed.

[Granted, there's exactly one person here who might understand Shinji's choice of user name, and that's a pretty big 'might.' But it wasn't taken, and it's not like the Iwatodai crowd know nothing about Greek mythology. There's just another layer to it.]

So. Money's presumably a thing here, since this isn't a void between worlds where you can just think shit into existence and I don't just have Mitsuru levels of it on hand. (Anyone else who knows Mitsuru: Yes, that much money is exactly as weird as you think it is.)

What do people do for jobs? I can cook and I can hit shit.

roseeclair

[SO. That was a fun night. Really fun. Really nice and exciting and the flower pools were refreshing- if trippy- and the magic fair was fun.

So shortly afterwards, when people have gone home for the evening, maybe wanted to settle down... you'll hear a tomato-red girl taking a deep breath before the audio begins.]

Hey, guys! So um... say you... know someone who's never really been on a date before. And got asked on one. What kind of advice would you give?

[PS: funny thing is that the 90s girl is still new to smart phones. Including setting post filters. Which means she sent this to the whole island instead of just her friends. The whole island including the boy that asked her out. *Whoops~*]

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! ]

Hello!

[Aerith is bright and cheerful, which seems to be the norm for her. She offers a wave, wearing a smile, her drake coiled around her ponytail and the pretty hair piece tucked into it.]

Not long after I arrived, I had this thought to open a flower shop. I haven't yet, but I have some flowers that are kind of taking over my apartment. I got these a bit ago, so some of them are younger than others, but they're all pretty hardy.

[Her camera pans over to a counter that's housing no shortage of pots with lily of the valley, larkspur, and primrose plants in a variety of colours.

Afterwards, she leans onto her counter and dips her head as she eyes her device, coming back into view.]

So I guess what I'm saying is that if you like flowers or you want something to spruce your home up, I'm happy to give you some of mine. If you don't know how to take care of them, I can help walk you through that, too. Or if you just want to come take a look at them, that'd be okay, too.

[After a pause, she continues.] Also, if you didn't know, larkspurs— [She points to the ones that stand tall with the colourful petals.] —are a favourite with King Arthur. Just in case you feel like getting on his good side.

southpaw_senpai

[As the video starts, Akihiko can be seen wearing his red hood, but the camera is a bit jerky, as if he's filming it while running. ...Because he is. Akihiko didn't waste any time in getting his training regimen adapted to his new surroundings.]

Got a couple questions for people that are familiar with this place. First off, where's a good place to buy protein powder? Didn't have any on me when I was brought here and I'd like to figure out a replacement.

Secondly, there a gym with a boxing ring or something around here? Training is good and all but there's no replacement for actual sparring.

Thirdly, I guess related to the last one, but anyone open to sparring sessions?

[There's an awkwardly long pause for a moment as he jogs, trying to figure out how to end the video before just abruptly cutting.]
