( maybe she's had one too many drinks when this post comes to mind, which is why it isn't as anonymous as she might like it to be.

... which is why it gets posted instead of deleted as soon as the words flash over the screen. )

ever think about how long we could be here? already been a year. living here pretending shit's normal. getting jobs. playing with magic.

forgetting who we used to be.

that a good thing? being separated from all that shit?

could be here for years more. become someone new. do shit you never thought you would.

( she's already there, just by having a business. how much further can this place push her out of everything she believed she was? )

What's the one thing you would change about your life to make it better?

( he could say that this is anonymous to avoid people feeling weird telling their answers to a therapist, but really it's simply to avoid Kurusu-kun worrying about the meaning of all of this.

it's fine. he's fine. this is simply academic curiosity. )

[ Louis appears on the camera, and behind him is a very empty looking room at the inn. Perfect - just how he decorates. He leans back into a chair and has his arms folded over his chest. ]

I was away for a few months and things got bad here, it looks like. I think I have the short version of what happened, and I don't need all of the details. Besides, that's not why I'm here on the network.

[ He considers and then -- ]

In December, at home, we have a Holiday called Rexmas. It's to be spent with families and loved ones, gift giving, that sort of thing. I wager other places have similar holidays, and if you want - you can share what yours are. I'm admittedly a bit curious. December is always busy and eventful for me, and this is the first year in many where I don't anticipate being busy, so I don't know what to do with myself.

Which made me get an idea, which I suspect that a lot of people will like.

[ His tone doesn't shift, and his attention seems solidly on the camera. His tone is...formal, almost stern. ]

I'm thinking that the first weekend of December we should have a party for everyone. A formal party, or maybe a masquerade? Maybe let me know what sounds more fun for you. An opportunity for people to dress up in something nice and enjoy each other's company. To drink, and dance, and party, essentially.

I've worked to organize events like this at home many times before, so I have no problem securing a location, and working to organize the event. As long as others are willing to volunteer to help with setup of it.

[ He unfolds his arms, and his body seems to relax. He smiles a little. ]

That being said, I want to make sure everyone can fully enjoy themselves, and it's a safe event. So I do have a few things that I want to ensure are absolutely going to be rules.

First, children under the age of sixteen will be forbidden to stay after nine in the evening. Second, all weapons are to be left at home. Third, no fighting with magic, either. Magic may be used for the purpose of entertainment at the event.

Again, I want a peaceful, safe event - so these are the only real non-negotiables. Beyond those, I'm open to suggestions, contributors. That's sort of thing.

It's funny to me how we have pumpkins running rampant and other sort of spooky stuff when this place has never heard of Halloween. Though sure, pumpkins are a part of autumn anyway.

That being said, advice to anyone who might need it: don't go trick or treating unless you want to get arrested by knights. This isn't America, going to knock people's doors asking for candy and threatening them with a prank isn't going to go well.

Hello, people of Camelot, Celliwig, Lestari, and worlds beyond these stars. I am King Arthur. I am sorry it has been some time since I have been able to directly address anyone. My injuries kept me away for some time, and the happenings that occurred while I was on the mend were graver than we could have expected. I am sorry for the tribulations all of you have been through, and would like to thank all of you for your strength and compassion toward each other in its wake.

To that end, I have been in long-hand communication with the Queen of the Fae in Elphame. We have been writing since the Hall of Mirrors was compromised, and with these new incidences she has agreed to offer safe passage should we clean the Forest of the Felled of all of its trappings. Though some of you may have been in the first party at the start of the month, rest assured I shall be leading a party alongside Glewlwyd at the start of November. Success will result in an order for even the Unseelie to allow us safe passage and we shall be invited to Nicnevin, their capitol, for winter solstice celebrations.

I shall have a list of recommendations for entering fae lands released to all of you, as there are some dangers that we are aware of that do not exist on this side of Avalon. In the meantime, I open the floor to questions from those interested.

[ OOC NOTE: Arthur will reply to new top-level comments posted before the end of the month in order to maintain feasibility for mod replies. Threads posted 11/1 or later will not be responded to. Any threads started before that time may be continued after that, but may be cut short due to this being an AMA-style post. Arthur has a kingdom to run, he can't stay online all day! He also will likely not reply to flat-out rude/troll-y comments, though you're welcome to post them if you just want to show your character's response. Thank you! ]

WHAT'S UP, NIBLETS AND TATER TOTS!

LET'S PLAY A GAME!

[ that got everyone's attention, right? hey, it's a cat boy! ]

Holy fu—.. fun! Haha... [ yes, he's editing himself on purpose. ] I actually can't believe I've been here this long and haven't done my own post! Well, here it is! Better late than never, right? Hehe!

Anyway, if you haven't met me I'm Lee Jongdae and this is Sana! Before anyone asks — yes, the cat stuff is real and no, I don't do animal magic. Long story!

[ sana is the very small dog sitting on his lap in something he definitely bought in Celliwig while it was still standing. ~~rip dog fashion.~~ ]

I know there's a lot going on right now and a lot of people are pretty depressed about it. I get you, it's a big mood. And it sucks! And it's sad that it happened but... it happened. And time's hella frozen or whatever, right? So that means living for right now! Stop making excuses about guilt and sh—... whatever!

But I'm sure you're wondering what I meant by a game, right? WELL. I'll tell you~

Let's play "Never Have I Ever"!

Now, some of you are already gonna know how to play but for everyone who doesn't the rules are real simple! Everyone takes turns saying something they've never done before and everyone who has done it has to take a drink!

Now you might be thinking, "hey, Jongdae, how come you keep editing yourself live because any other time you say 'fuck' all the time?"

[ it takes him a second to realise what he's done... ]

Shit! Ah—... LISTEN. That doesn't matter! That's me making an effort to make this appropriate for all ages but now I guess we're getting a solid PG-13? It can't be helped.

But! I know some of you out there are gonna be nasty and I'm not saying we all can't have some spicy fun, but tag your filth and slide into someone's DMs if it's gonna be like that. Try not to leave any lasting trauma on the kids, okay? And don't just tell me stuff! Talk amongst yourselves! I'm just here as an adorable facilitator~

Oh! I almost forgot the last rule!

Cameras ON!

Anon OFF!

If you aren't brave enough to share it, then don't share it! Or if you're an adult responsibly enjoying a boozy treat then maybe you'll get there eventually? Point is it's like a mingle so stop being all weird and dodgy and heckin' talk to each other before the world ends!

Speaking of, I'll start!

Never have I ever lived in a world that wasn't potentially gonna end because of some kinda weird, supernatural crap! So, drink up, normies!

[ he's very proud of himself. he thinks this went well. ]

That's all for me for now! Have fun, nerds~!

[ a wave, a wink, and a finger heart before he signs off, ending the feed after that. ]

[ ooc; it's exactly as it says on the tin! treat this like a mingle or a meme and feel free to post your own top levels and threadjack each other to your heart's content! ]

kirijo

Good afternoon, everyone. For those of you that I haven't already met, my name is Mitsuru Kirijo.

[ Mitsuru offers a slight bow to the camera. ]

I’ll be brief: in light of recent events, I think that it’s been made clear that more extensive preparations are necessary to prevent another tragedy like the devastation of Celliwig and Lestari. I’m far from the first person to make this observation, or to suggest that more frequent practice or better coordination would benefit us during a similar situation. What I would like to propose is a sort of informal organization to help provide the structure necessary to facilitate that. A guild of sorts, if you will.

The basic premise is to provide a framework for people to train together, assist each other with improving their magic, and find individuals to undertake quests with. This would be accomplished by the group meeting three times weekly at a sanctioned training area for a communal training session, and by the establishment of a group chat to allow members to arrange additional training sessions and find questing partners. Participation would be open to anyone interested, with the understanding that they are required to participate in at least one of these weekly training sessions.

I believe the potential benefits are fairly straightforward. Individuals looking to improve their magical abilities would have a structured environment in which to do so, and access to training partners that might offer useful insight or friendly competition to help spur further growth. Training and questing together will help familiarize us with each other’s capabilities and fighting styles, allowing us to coordinate more smoothly in the … inevitability of another crisis like the one we’ve just faced.

With the explanation out of the way, I suppose what’s left is an interest check of sorts. I’d like to know who would be interested in joining such a group, and any questions or suggestions that you all might have as to how it should be organized.

In any case, I thank you for your time, and I look forward to hearing from you.

morganknight

The name's Morgan, and something on that anon post caught my eye. A question about staying here, rather than going home. If it's possible. If it's okay.

I don't know about Avalon. It's possible when all this ends, Avalon won't exist any more, because its purpose was served. But I can say this: if anyone doesn't want to go home, I will find a place for you. No one should have to go back to a world where they'll be mistreated, or miserable, or end up dying in days, or whatever your circumstance that means you're happier being here than there.

I live on a nexus world, a place where a lot of worlds and universes overlap and connect. Sort of like Avalon itself. It's not a paradise, it's far from perfect, but it's somewhere you can go if you want. I'll find a way to make that happen for damn sure. A ritual performed here, I hope, at the end of the last day. And if that doesn't work... I have some friends and family to whom nothing is a barrier that can't be overcome, and we will find a way to get you away. There or elsewhere.

It isn't fair that anyone should be drawn here to save everything, then sent back home without a second thought to what might happen. And if your response to that is, 'well, life's not fair', I'll make it fair.

Don't be afraid to relax, to hope, to enjoy yourself here. Life's too short for that. But... I'll also take any help anyone's offering to make this vow of mine come true.

[Morgan chuckles a little awkwardly, before shrugging and ending the message.]

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. )

I have a question for everyone here. That is, multiple questions relating to the same topic, if you'd indulge me.

On Tierra, the world I come from, humans were granted form and souls by the creator long ago. What they didn't know at that time was that the creator had also placed souls in other things. Souls that could not be seen or felt but were present nonetheless.

Over time, the humans realised the presence of these souls and discovered how to summon them into physical form. They did this because of an enemy that they couldn't fight on their own - they needed beings with more power, that would not be so easily killed. They found the weapons that they needed in their new creations, which would eventually come to be called 'Food Souls'. They could hold incredible magical ability and strength, and the humans still didn't fully understand where they came from.

Food Souls could be summoned and bound to the summoner, tied to their will, following their orders, and wishing to please them even through mistreatment. After the death of their master, the Food Soul would be left in the world without them.

My question then, is this. Should such beings exist in your world, how do you think they would be treated? How do you think that you would treat such a being? Would they be treated well, or discarded when they had outlived their usefulness?

I'm already aware through previous travels that my world is not entirely unique in this regard. I'm curious, too, how other summoned individuals would describe their experiences.

((any format is fine for reply - he'll answer like for like. text was just easier, given the amount of information he was putting across.))

Hi everyone! It's your favorite Taichi Nanao here! I have a question!

What are your favorite junk food combos?

Not like pizza and cola, but like combination foods like mac and cheese pizza or donut burgers?

Here's a new one I discovered for inspiration:

Chili cheese flaming hot Cheetos pie! 🤤

[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.]

27 AUG XX, 0324

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.

Why is it the first time I get to buy clothes for me after having to buy clothes for other people, it's because all of my pants don't fit right cause I have a fucking tail!?

Seriously, is it so wrong to want a little time where things aren't fucking sideways.

...Also my ears itch and I can't wear headphones on them...

So doom and gloom aside... I believe that there's a big problem that needs to be addressed here!

Why isn't anyone talking about the awesome gacha games on this smartphone!?

Warrior Stickman. Dragon Odyssey. Blood Empire. Strike Knights. There's so many mobile games around here and I see everyone is just sleeping on them! Do none of these ring a bell?! Have you all lost of your sense of romanticism and adventure!? We just had a tournament with Mario Party for crying out loud! Surely this has tickled your interests in video games a little bit!

For those who don't know... Gacha gaming is the ultimate pass time where you can play video games on your little smartphone here. Pretty self-explanatory, right? But be warn that if you decide to step into the world of gacha... It's a incredible hell that you're walking into. An all-or-nothing bloodbath where the strong live and the weak die. A path of carnage and broken dreams where 1-Star characters are devoured and forgotten by the irresistible 5-Star characters.

In a sense... Our society is no different from a gacha game, no? The strong and beautiful who live in high society are considered the 5-Star characters and we who have been drinking from the gutters and crawling through mud are the mere 1-Stars! But fear not 1-Stars... I, Tennouji Kotarou, the man who rules over common sense, am here to bestow my knowledge upon you! As the chosen "Common Sense Archon" it is my duty to pass on my fruits of wisdom!

So if you'd want a place to start, I can suggest that you play "Glory Kingdom"! It's one that I'm pretty into lately. Ever dreamed of befriending a cute goddess? Ever wanted to build your kingdom from the neck up? Ever wanted to team-up with a crazy tyrant babe who hates your guts, then slowly falls in love with you as you show her the joys of the normal world?!

Then this game is absolutely for you! They're even giving away free gems for new players who join, so what are you waiting for? Don't be a 1-Star, be a ★COOL STAR★ and join in the big sensation sweeping the island nation!

P.S: I was not paid to do this (though I will accept donations since I'm a little low on cash right now from my valuable gacha gaming research)! I simply want to share my joy involving a little hobby of mine! If you have any questions, I'll be more than happy to answer. Thank you. ♥

[Kitten’s been watching the questboard and watching the network, and they have some Thoughts.

And with the help of a little bit of technomancy and a shocking amount of awareness, they’ve filtered their Thoughts so no minors will be subjected to this.]

So how many of y’all doing this quest for Merlin are using it as an excuse to not be a fucking coward? You can say it’s just ironic or for the quest so it doesn’t matter how badly you fail at getting it out there and getting turned down.

Which fuck that, honestly. If you wanna fuck someone you should just say so instead of pussyfooting around cuz you’re scared. The worst that can happen is you get rejected and maybe your friendship goes pear shaped, but better than just pining and thirsting.

But, hey, if you’re not weak and you’re cute, feel free to hit me up.

[Nobody said they were good thoughts.]

This is like a public service announcement for anyone that happens to have wings that they didn't have before.

Don't try to fly. Unless you've got kinetic magic any attempt you make is going to go really badly and you're going to hurt yourself and you're going to look stupid.

Birds are naturally designed for flight. They have incredibly strong chest muscles to help with the movement of their wings. Their lung capacity manages oxygen efficiently so they can remain in flight for long periods of time. They have hollow bones which make them lightweight. Their bodies are streamlined in shape to prevent air resistance.

Basically don't do it. But go ahead if you want, just don't die. Otherwise I'm going to meet your ghost and I'm going to laugh at you.

[ That's actually a lie, he's terrified of ghosts. Please don't haunt him if you die from falling off a building trying to fly.

Please just don't do that to begin with. Safety first, fellow temporary bird people. ]

[ JJ's voice comes - well, loudly over the network. He's here, and he's excited. He's outside, if the background of trees and grass is any indication. He takes a seat on a bench, settling in and behind him is -- well, a moose. It's still pretty decently sized, even if it is small for a moose. ]

Soooo [ a hum ] - hello, Camelot! I'm JJ. And this is -- well, he doesn't have a name yet.

[ The camera flashes to three miniature eskimo dogs that he has with him. ]

And these are Charlie, Esme, and Luc. I'm working on a name for my familiar, but I figured it might be fun to ask.

So, show me pictures of your pets. Your familiars. Tell me what their names are if they have them or anything neat you want to share. It might be a little inspiration and honestly who doesn't love cute animal pics right?

[ He looks like he's about to turn off the device but then pauses - ]

Almost forgot! It's my birthday on the 15th, so in two days! So that means if you go do the hotel lobby -- there will cupcakes there. Chocolate and vanilla and maybe strawberry or something fun like that. I haven't decided on them all.

cooperatively

Sup, everyone! I won't bore you with an introduction - I'm new in town. Shit's great.

Anyways, haven't got much of a lay of the land yet, so I've decided to ask for some advice. You know, ask people who have been around the block a few times.

What do you people do for fun? Are there any especially cool bars or clubs? Theaters? Neat museums? Secret underground fight clubs we don't talk about but you'll tell me about because we're comrades now and you love and appreciate how straightforwardly I'm asking?

Or, hell, maybe there's just a really good book in the library I need to check out. Whatever! I'm not picky. I just don't want to spend all my time working and questing and training, you know?

beewulf

Alright, I won't beat around the bush. For those of you that I met earlier but never learned my name, or just asked you to call me "Berserker". I apologize. One can't be too careful, names hold power and all that.

[He smiles, if one can really call it a smile. It was more of a sneer, or something more of a feral smirk than anything. Vicious, creepy, one that promised nothing but blood and violence. He was trying to look nice, really!]

But I think I got a good enough gist of what's been going on in this place. Gotta say, that you folks post some interesting things on this network. Well, I won't leave you in suspense.

I am Beowulf Son of Ecgtheow. King of the Geats. If you don't know my tales, which I know many here do not, then that's fine. Perhaps one day I might share one or two with you if I feel like it. This was mostly for a very select few.

For now, I'd like to know more of yourselves and your grievances.
