'Sup, Camelot Crusaders? I heard through the grapevine that the animal-mage-hunt is dead and done with, which means it's time for me to announce the party I promised - and a McDuck never breaks a promise! So this weekend, I'm hosting a gig in the Brocéliande forest to celebrate animal mages for all the hard times they went through last month - why there? Because this party's all about animal mages and animal folks like me, so I figured the closer to nature, the more animal-like we all are! ... Plus I just thought it was cool to throw a party in the woods where spirits hang out. How is that not cool?

But you don't need to have feathers or talk to squirrels to come chill, everyone's invited.

Be there, be fair, or be square!

Oh, and one last thing - I know by now humans and human-like people inhabit like... almost all the worlds apparently, whatever. So don't think I don't notice when you guys stare at me. It's totally cool, and I get it - so don't be afraid to ask me stuff about it! It's really okay! We're all the same on the inside! ... I assume!

Okay, looks like not everyone knows about this, so I'm gunna try to get right to the point.

Apparently, someone put out some magic that's given some of you humans animals ears and tails and what not. Personally I think you guys look better that way. But now another dude thinks that A) an animal mage did it, which makes no sense, 'cause last I checked, animal changes can only do that stuff to themselves, and B) thinks the best solution to reverse what's going on by murdering all the animal mages.

Yeah. Solid logic there.

I'm trying to give a head's up here because not only have animal mages been attacked, but so does anyone who already looked like an animal, including yours truly. I've personally seen some of these money-hungry monsters go after kids, so, just to be clear, it's bad out there right now. So if you're an animal mage, or you've always had non-human traits, please be safe! Don't go out alone if you can, stay in groups!

I'm sure we can get this nonsense wrapped up as soon as possible, but until then, let's make sure no one messes with our mages!

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.]

[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.]

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!
