[Maybe it was a twitch of his paw that turned it on, or a flick of his tail, or maybe he said something in his sleep to trigger it, but the potentially battle-weary inhabitants of Avalon will be able to bear witness to the absolutely adorable sight of a white, fluffy cat, sound asleep.

The screen is too close to him to really make out where he is, but he's definitely asleep.

At least, for a couple of minutes, until a small noise stirs him and one vivid green eye cracks open to fix on the device beside his head.
]

Hmm.

[Says the cat, and the sound comes out like a purr.]

I suppose that little blinking light means something.

I'm thinking of getting a horse. No horse can compare to the one I had back home, but I miss the convenience.

I don't suppose anyone has any recommendations for which horse breeders I should see or if there's anyone I should avoid?

I'm looking for some brave souls with strong stomachs! If you're up for a challenge, contact me.

[This has to do with potentially poisonous herbs and their...he hopes...remedies.]

Don't worry, I'll keep you alive.

[Somehow. Some way. That isn't always a blessing, of course.]

Nothing lost is nothing gained, right?

Hello everyone. If you don't know me, my name is Jane Porter. [This is said with a little wave. Years using devices like this and she still isn't sure how to begin a transmission without feeling awkward about it.

Well, moving on!
]

I know things have been... very difficult lately. [Understatement.] And a lot of people are probably feeling very worried. Now, I'm... not a therapist, or anything like that. I most certainly wouldn't claim to be one at all.

But what I certainly am is somebody who cares about other people. So, I'd like to table an open offer to anyone who might like to just... sit down with a cup of tea, or take a walk, and have a chat. [She pauses here and gives a soft little smile.]

About anything at all. Please don't hesitate to reach out. If not to me, then to someone. ... You don't need to go through anything alone.

[And, with the same faint awkwardness that she started with, she signs off with that.]

[ JJ appears on camera, wearing a bright smile and... not much else. He's wearing exclusively his small pair of shorts. In the background is a pole. God knows where the guy found it. But, that will come into play in a little bit. He shuffles for a moment, and decides for a second to be curteous to put on a tank top to go with the rest of the outfit. He'll shift back towards the camera. ]

Sorry about that - It's been awhile - hello~

[ A wide smile. ]

To people who are newer here and who have been here awhile. I'm JJ.

I have a question for all of you, or something to think about. Being in places like this, sometimes there's no obligations like at home. So I want to know -- are there things you still want to learn while you're here? Have you already learned something? What is it that you want to learn?

Where I was before, I wanted to find something new to do, and ended up learning how to pole dance, well, and ballroom dance. But since I don't have a partner here today --

[ And that's when he stands, and shifts towards the pole. He carries the camera with him and positions it somewhere else so there's a nicer view of it. He places both of his hands on the pole and positions himself carefully and works into the first positon. He holds it there for a few moments, then shifts to the ground to change and move into the Butterfly. Only a couple moves for now because to be honest, he'd rather be chatting away. ]

It's totally worth taking up something new. And I guess I should say -- if anyone wants to learn to do a few things here - I'd be happy to show you the ropes.

[The last few months had given Mukuro a lot to think about- especially with regard to her own death back home. One part still didn't make any sense to her:

What had she done wrong? Why had Junko killed her?

...It was with those thoughts swimming around in her head that she sent another late night message to the network.]

Reviewing the strategy from a recent battle at home. I want to understand the rational for the decisions taken.

A soldier is engaged in a stealth/undercover mission. However, they have made a mistake that risks the operation's success, and have not realised their error.

The mission commander is in a position to eliminate the operative to preserve their mission, without exposing themselves in the process.

Is that course of action reasonable? To put it another way- under what circumstances would you consider sacrificing one of your own men to ensure a mission's success or to prevent it's failure?

Don't feel you have to answer.

I'm looking for a recommendation. [No preamble. The young man on the video is handsome and pale with wine-red eyes, sharp canine teeth and pointed ears, several gold piercings glinting along the edge of one. His dark hair shines strangely purple each time he passes under the sunlight outside.]

Somewhere I might buy a fine quality violin.

[The thought had occurred to him while he was already out, and he finds a shady spot to stop and make the address properly.]

While I could very well scour Camelot's streets all afternoon for a good music shop, but I'm sure some obliging person might point me in the right direction. My thanks in advance.

[ At first the screen is black, though the audio does pick up a few noises in the background. But eventually something moves away from the camera, revealing a pink hedgehog girl who still fiddles with the device before placing it down. ]

Ah, there we go. [Taking a moment to clear her throat, the girl then smiles as a blue bird lands on her shoulder. ]
Hey guys! My name is Amy Rose and this [she gestures to the bird. ] is my familiar, Lily!

I just arrived a couple of days ago, so I'm still trying to take everything in. But I thought I'd ask what kinds of fun things there are to do around here. It's been a while since I've had some free time for myself, and wanted to see what other things I could do besides just training my magic.

[ She pauses a moment, glancing off to the side. ] Hm...now that I think about it, I'm probably gonna have to find a way to earn money too...

[Risk of violent content or descriptions of violence in comments.]

Tsk!

I check in with the devices and see nothing but idle banter.

[Not that he had the patience to look very long.]

Why are more of you not discussing the Calamity? A vast, all-consuming fire threatens the Infinity and yet you prattle on as if nothing were wrong.

Has the new found power so many of you now have blinded you to the threat? Are you all so busy with your fancy new magic that you... you...

[A sharp, frustrated exhale.]

Bah!

Why do I bother?

What more should I expect from maggots?

[There's an audible pause, between the recording starting, and the speaker speaking. Including a calming breath. Just- things she could have done before turning on the audio, but only mattered after she did.]

So… does anyone know a way I could get some musical instruments. But, cheap? I don't have a lot of cash since I just got here. It will make my classes easier if I had a cello and a guitar at least. But having access to a keyboard of a full piano would also help.

And, well, recording space. I can use the ones on campus but I'd rather have someplace a little less… crowded. And maybe allow me to be a night owl, I don't want to be a bother during the day.

[Her voice is light, and fairly devoid of emotion, what's there is so stifled, so dilute, that it might be missed if you aren't very keen on the state of others.]

Sorry, um, I'm Maya. Maya Matlin. I should have started with that.

Good afternoon everyone!

For those I've spoken to a while back, and those interested, I've about finished the first batch of ale that I had been working on; a blonde ale. It's a bit strong, so I wouldn't recommend drinking too much of it in one sitting. It's got a bit of a fruity taste with a strong, bitter finish and is quite smooth and refreshing. So for those of you that are not all that big into ales or alcohol in general, but would still like to try some, I'm looking for volunteer taste testers. Feel free to bring along friends and family... of legal drinking age of course.

I don't have much currently but magic has sped the process along exponentially so I shouldn't have too many problems making another batch, should everyone decide that it's fine.

[She's still on the fence about speeding up the whole brewing process. But, well, business is business and all that.]

Oh! And before I forget I'm currently in the process of opening up a beer café as well! I should have it all setup by either the middle or end of this month. The shop will be the same place that I'm currently holding the taste test for the alcohol. I'll have some waffle samples ready to commemorate it, so please be sure to visit on opening day.

[ooc: I'll have a post up for her restaurant opening later this week hopefully. For those interested in planning out something more specific feel free to hit me up on her cr post.]

Turns out when one is bored, doesn't feel like drawing or reading, and has a familiar that makes silk, this is the end result.

[He holds up a braid of string. The string is pearlescent, and it's crudely braided together, looking like a kid's first attempt to braid their hair or make a friendship bracelet. One can also see four very large spider legs draped over his shoulders, though the rest of the spider is hidden behind him.]

I may have discovered the future of fabrics right here.

[He tugs the string a few times, as if testing its strength.]

Hey everyone!

So apparently, now we can be influencers on social media! I just got approved to becoming one with my new YouTube channel! This is great.

[He seems very excited. Well he is, because this is best kind of job he can ever have.]

Anyone who is a geek about weapons or armor, this channel is definitely for you! I'm gonna be posting videos about different weapons... you can even make requests about different weapons if you feel like it! But I will also have quests to help demonstrate different things!

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.

[The video flickers a few times as the user tries to figure out how the device works, and at one point he shows up upside down or the camera is facing the wall.]

How does this thing work?

[Finally, he seems to figure it out and the camera is facing him, held steady.]

So, this is odd. Pretty sure this place isn't a plan of Oblivion and I would know if I had died and gone to a very odd afterlife. I think. I am terribly confused by everything going on right now.

Wouldn't be so bad if I hadn't lost my powers. Fus ro dah! Iiz slen nus! Odahviing!

[He looks at the skies, like he's expecting something.]

Nothing.
