[The video starts with a rather blurry picture. What looked to be...fangs, bone and purple fire? Was Caster doing another ominous ritual??

But no- soon enough, her skeletal dragon familiar pulled back from the camera, tilting it's head at it before looking very satisfied with itself! It made the phone do the thing! Don't mind it rushing offscreen and making adorable baby crocodile noises.

At which point, Caster's own voice could be heard: ]

Little One...we've been over this. I am not comfortable addressing the entire Network so soon after-

[More insistent crocodile noises! Before another shot of the inside of the bone dragon's mouth as it tried to drag the phone over to her, dropping it on the sofa at her side. And well, look, there was Caster! Without her hooded cloak on, the shot was able to reveal her pointed ears and curled, golden ram-like horns either side of her head. She seemed to be focusing on studying a bottle of Counter-curse potion.]

No. I am not apologising for what happened in June, and I can figure out this ridiculous curse on my own without asking their advice-...hm?

Wait, that light on the screen means- Little One. Did you manage to turn it on by yourself??

[Ergh. She quickly grabbed the phone and- yes, that was definitely recording.

Well, with a sigh of resignation, she decided to just go along with it. She had to save her own pride somehow- even if it was lacking the usual confidence her broadcasts had in the past.]

Good evening, Avalon. I- for those new here, I am known as 'Caster'.

I gather I'm not the only one affected by the current situation. Whoever's responsible for this has a terrible sense of humour.

...Aside from trying to work out how to make my wardrobe accommodate this mess- [A gesture to her horns and currently ill-fitting skirt] -there's been another matter on my mind recently.

What motivations do you all have for trying to save the worlds? You don't have to be specific if you're concerned I'll use the information against you, but...it's something I've been trying to figure out for myself recently.

...

[An awkward silence as she tried to work out if there was anything else to say, before she ended the broadcast.]

[Chris's familiar Mercury the crow is up to his old tricks, flipping Chris's smartphone on with his claws and starting the video recording as she receives a certain bit of bad news.]

THE MINOTAUR DID WHAT TO LOWERTOWN'S WATER?!

[The words are so loud they can be heard outside of the house Chris shares with several other people... and down the street, probably. It's almost like a bomb going off. And then there's those of you who have to deal with it coming out of your phones.

Impressive, really.]

[Once things have calmed down with the doppelgangers and the ~~vorest~~ forest, there's something else left to be addressed. So, Claude addresses the network.]

Hi friends! Claude here. I haven't met most of you yet, so I suppose this would be a good time to say "nice to meet you", too. Hope your mirror images were nice to you and not... you know.

[Claude's sitting indoors by a sunny window in his treehouse apartment, his small white wyvern familiar snoozing beside him.]

As eager as I am to get to know everyone, what I actually wanted to talk about was the situation with Elphame. Since Arthur dumped the decision on what to do on our shoulders, we'd better figure out how to cast our votes.

( cut to preserve reading pages )

Anyway, I've waffled on for a while now! Long story short, I think our peaceful options are really the best shot we have at this, it's just a matter of deciding which is best. I'm really not interested in letting a violent old history repeat itself. Feel free to pitch in with your own thoughts... Maybe we can even come up with something better than what's already being proposed.

[He gives a lazy wave, before ending the feed.]

[ooc: threadjacking is welcome and encouraged! go wild]

Another busy month for me, but I have something for everyone to look forward to.

[He grins, showing a lobby behind him. Not much else, since it's still on the works.]

I'm opening a karaoke bar called Shining Karaoke. There will be a grand opening party, of course. It'll be on March 13th, continuing to the 14th which is White Day.

[It's an open invitation, everyone should join the party.]¨

What I wanted to also say is that I'm looking for employees. Waiter and waitresses, someone to maintain the lobby, someone to take care of the karaoke machinery. I would also love to work with anyone who makes food and drinks as we will have those as well.

Let me know here or send me a private message in my inbox. I don't mind what age you are, but if you're under 18, you won't be serving anyone alcohol, and those under 16 will have to stop working before late night shifts.

And on a completely different note. [Bear with him.] Who here play video games?

saxum

If I may pose a hypothetical question.

For a being that has existed many a millenia, what would be information most pertinent to their enjoyment of a... modernized life?

[ Yeah this absolutely has nothing to do with him. He's not 6,000 years old and still doesn't understand how to use the microwave in his inn room, nope. ]

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.

[There were advantages and disadvantages to using the money she'd gotten from carrying out Morgana's suspicious request in order to find a larger place to stay. On one hand, she had more space to keep her things and it didn't feel so cramped - she might even have room for a potion-brewing workshop at some point. On the other hand, yes, she had more space to herself, but it was Valentine's Day.

And she was here by herself, without the one person she wanted to spend it with.

After spending a week or so chasing around a man from her world who was responsible for her demise.

Desperate for something to take her mind off all of it, she took to the network to try and find a distraction.

Caster can be seen sitting in a darkened room, face and body mostly hidden by the shadows of her cloak. You know, because that totally didn't look ominous.]

For those who haven't met me yet- I am known as Caster. A pleasure.

As the people who've been brought here are from many different worlds, I can't help but be a little curious. Tell me, what myths and legends are the most well known, where you're from? What about those you personally find the most interesting?

I'd say that the Greek Myths are my personal area of interest, but... picking a favourite would be difficult.

[A hint to who she was, perhaps, but it wasn't as if she'd actually told many people she was a heroic spirit from myth - so it should be a safe comment.]

Either way, feel free to share. I'm curious to know who's myths overlap with the ones I know, as well as learn a little about other people's worlds.

[There was a short pause, before a dark smirk comes into her face. She may have been just a little bitter about the whole cupid arrow nonsense.]

...Ah, and Archer? If you're watching this, I will make you regret humiliating me with those arrows of yours-!

prismatically

[ As is becoming customary for videos from Stella, the first thing anyone sees of her post is Stella herself, against the backdrop of her hotel room. Going by the slightly shaky footage and the angle of the camera, she’s carrying her phone around as she records, which gives the whole thing some pretty big con vlog energy. ]

You guuuuuyyyssss! I’ve got the best news! The best, the best, the best!

[ She’s about ten times more amped up than usual, which is… a sight to see. She’s bouncing around a bit, which makes it hard to see what’s going on around her, but what immediately stands out is that the usual ocean of pink that makes up her digs at the inn has been broken up in places by splashes of purple; a comforter tossed across Stella’s bed, some stray pillows and spare bedding here and there. The reason for this becomes apparent when Stella swings her phone around and rounds on a startled looking girl who’d been among the new arrivals. Stella stops bouncing around long enough to glom onto her, so the two of them take up most of the screen, with Stella looking a great deal happier about this than the other girl does. ]

Violet’s heeeeere! Ohmigod, I seriously can’t believe it! Vi, Vi, say hi to everybody!

[ Violet has a very deer in headlights expression, right now. She almost seems to shrink in on herself. ]

...Um. H-Hello? [ It's not the most enthusiastic of greetings. Especially not compared to Stella's cheer. Then, more as an aside to Stella than to the camera... ] ...Is... that enough?

[ Stella bursts out laughing - though to her credit it’s definitely a fond sort of laugh. ]

Okay, that’s one hundred percent a Violet introduction! I wouldn’t want it any other way! [ And so, she directs her attention back to the camera. ] Violet’s one of my best, best, BEST friends from back home! You guys’ve heard me talk a whole lot about our group and Violet’s in it too! Ohmygosh, I need to stream some of her stuff for you guys someday, especially now I have my phone back, her voice is absolutely killer and--

A-Ah, hold on, hold on--! [ The screen moves a bit, as Violet's moving to push the phone away. ] That's definitely enough for now... No one wants to hear all that, r-right?

Uh, duh, of course they do! Why wouldn’t they? [ But she can take a hint, and she releases Violet for now and steps back a bit so she can escape from the camera. Then, when she’s sure Violet’s not listening, she adds a stage-whispered aside to the camera. ] I’ll upload those for you guys later, okay? [ And then back at her normal volume which… isn’t that much louder than her stage whispering, really. ] O-kaaayyyyy! Make sure you guys check in and say hi, alright? Vi just got here so I don’t want her to just be stuck at the inn this whole time! Lemme know if you guys wanna come hang out!

[ She gives the camera a wave and then spins it around again to catch Violet on screen one last time. ]

Violet! Say bye to everyone!

I-I'm really alright staying in-- Huh, wait, um... [ Oh no help wait the camera is on her again why. ] B... Bye? I guess. Is anyone even going to--

[ And the video ends there. ]

trustheart

[The image turns on, showing a white-haired young woman adjusting the camera on her smart phone, just out of frame before making it center finally on her before speaking.]

This would be a lot easier if you could help me, you know.

[A caw can be heard from off-screen, presumably from the girl's familiar. She sighs before continuing.]

Alright, so. I guess I'm new here, and I'm... trying to figure out what to do with myself. I've gotten settled in, but does anyone have any idea what to do next? I mean, there's those quests, but some of them seem kinda... completely fucking crazy?

[Another sigh.]

And I guess I should also try to get a handle on this magic thing, right? I've apparently got elemental magic. All of this sounds nuts, but I guess I should try and figure out how to deal with it.

Just. Yeah. Any help or advice would be appreciated.

[Caaaaaw!]

What?! Come on, what are you- oh. I guess I should introduce myself. [She suddenly appears more nervous than before.] My name's Chris. Chris Yukine.

troubadamsel

Greetings, one and all. I have an... inquiry, I suppose I'd put it, about the ... rather ghastly quests we've been offered.

For those who've been here longer than I... are these type of quests normal for this place? Manipulating emotions like a child's plaything to outright murder... If we are supposed to be heroes intent on saving all the realms, I must say these actions hardly seem heroic at all!

[ After a moment, there's the gentle 'coo' of a bird off-screen. Maribelle hesitates, then sighs. ]

... All right, there is another reason I'm using this device. During the tournament, it appears my behavior was... less than savory. If I offended anyone -

[ The 'coo' is a bit louder this time. Maribelle bites her lower lip, then resigns herself. ]

... To those I did offend, I offer my most sincere apologies. I should have known entering would have brought out the worst of me, and yet I did it anyway, for the sake of greed. As a representative of my world, it is my duty to ensure I leave a good impression on all, and behave much less like a snob.

... Admittedly, the latter is difficult for me. For those who struggle with a similar behavior, I ask for advice on tempering it, lest I offend others again.

recommendations

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.
