Give me your honest opinions on mayonnaise. Even the most brutal ones. Does mayon belong in all sorts of food? Personally I think there's a limit and the limit is "just sucky street food".

Let's talk about other condiments as well. What is the worst or what is the best one?

And the most hot topic in some worlds: does pineapple belong in pizza?

[Archer may or may not have encountered a certain knight putting mayonnaise in wedding buffet food.]

[OOC: Free zone. Feel free to threadjack and go offtopic as much as you want.

Archer is anon in replies unless I state otherwise at the start of the conversation.]

Those who know what "beta testing" means... don't do it. It's not worth it.

I'm going to be sleeping at the inn for a while. Don't come looking for me.

[ooc: Archer is currently stuck in Riza Hawkeye's body and sticking strictly to text for that reason kjdkad.]

[So someone was just a bit too clumsy and maybe fell into the freezing river where Azul was ice-fishing.

And Azul may be many things, but he's not the sort of person to leave a relatively harmless person to freeze to death, especially when it is maybe also partially his fault for roping Venti into coming down to monitor the ice for him.

Anyway, the video is a little shaky as Azul pans a bit to show where they are before he focuses on himself. The video shows Azul (dry except for his hair, missing his coat but otherwise okay) and Venti (very very very wet and shivering), with Venti wrapped in the towels Azul had with him and Azul's coat.]

Would someone who knows Kaeya please respond. He fell into the river--thankfully I was already in the river to fish, but I unfortunately don't know where he's staying and I'm not strong enough to carry him like this. He may have been drinking, he wouldn't give me a straight answer when I asked before he fell.

[Wait, Kaeya?! That's Venti!]

i hate this

the sky has been leaking for DAYs... WEEKS??

it's so cold my eyes are frozen!

i hate this weird white water

i want to go outside...

( un'illustrazione )

[ A photo of a colored pencil drawing is attached... depicting Alberto "(in a blanket)" beside his familiar Carlo and his pet compsognathus Sofia, trapped inside his home "(forever?)," labeled "cold, alone... and fed up!" beneath falling snow — AKA "weird white water??? (every day...!!!)" — outside the window... All of them clearly "very unhappy" — the sheer image of misery itself. ]

SO!
let's trade!!!
anyone who can help me find or make something like this, i'll cook you food or something, whatever, we'll talk......
but as soon as possible,
i need one of THESE:

( un'altra illustrazione )

[ Another image is attached of Alberto wearing what... seems to be a diver's suit? Or something??? Holding a "giant umbrella" in one hand and Sofia on a leash in a harness in the other, Carlo floating above, all "dry, safe, warm, and NOT at home..." There's still plenty of ~~snow~~ white water around them, "but not on Alberto!" Most importantly, though, in this drawing, they're all happy! — as... baffling as it is to anyone else, surely... No thanks, no niceties, just complaints and demands, urgent, desperate, and maybe a little, um, bizarre? Un po. The kid's gone mad with cabin fever, possibly? This is... well... th-this is something. Definitely something. Ahem. ]

Hi everyone! It's Taichi Nanao again!

I've been doing some reading and it tracks with what I know from my world: love is the most powerful kind of magic!

I guess real love is how you break a lot of so-called "love" spells! (It looks like most of those are like, attraction and obsession and something called bimbofication?? What's a bimbofi?)

What else do you think love can conquer? What happens if you haven't found real love yet and you get enchanted?

(Also, how soon is too soon to tell someone you love them? There's definitely someone I want to tell and I want to shout it from the mountain tops!)

★☆★ NANAO TAICHI ★☆★

With the influx of refugees, it's clear that things are rather strained when it comes to resources such as space and other supplies.

I was planning on organizing a sort of soup kitchen, if you will. I could use more volunteers who can cook, though if you cannot and want to help we could use the extra hands.

I think we have a good amount of ingredients to start. Though if anyone has an open space where we can set up a kitchen that would be more convenient than setting this up outside of my home as it's a little out of the way from where most people are. I'm also uncertain how the pixies living in our yard would take to an influx of strangers showing up.

I understand the outcome isn't what some of us had hoped, but having something to keep busy with helps, I find. It is fine to grieve the dead, but we also have a responsibility to the living.

Questions. Answer any you like.

1- What do boyfriends do?

2- What actions or qualities make you like someone?

3- Do you like using your magic?

4- Do you belive that love is real?

Thank you for your time.

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 cuts to Tsuzuru in his room at the inn with Mizuno, his kuda-gitsune familiar, around his shoulders. A notebook is on the bed next to him along with the books he grabbed at the library opened to different places. He pet his head as he waved at the camera.]

Hello, my name is Tsuzuru Minagi. I'm the scriptwriter for the Kaika Company our director posted about it earlier.

[Please come join us! We're a fun group!]

I'm currently brainstorming for our first play. I've been reading up on different tales in the library but I'm interested in any stories from your world. There are many people from different places that have different stories I'd love to hear about. You can also post them anonymously if that makes you more comfortable.

[If Kazunari was here he would tell him to do something entertaining at the end, but he has no idea what he would do so he waves to the camera instead.]

Hope to see some of you guys at the company soon. Thanks in advance for your help.

currysseur

( well, she's no stranger to the network by now, but this will be the first time Izumi's had cause to address the network as a whole. she checks the message several times before sending it, reworking pieces and wishing Kazunari was here to spruce the overall look up a bit.

a plain text advertisement is a little dull, isn't it? )

KAIKA COMPANY FUNDRAISER
-- SEPTEMBER 1ST; 1PM; KAIKA THEATRE, CAMELOT --
Come enjoy some cupcakes and hot chocolate or try our Curry Bread roulette - you never know how spicy your next bite will be! Raising funds to support the new Kaika Troupe in creating their first play!

RECRUITING NOW: KAIKA COMPANY
Calling all actors, sound, or stage workers interested in working at a new theatre troupe here in Camelot. No experience necessary! Auditions will be held on September 5th, 10am at Kaika Theatre.

( okay. she's gonna send this into the wild west of the internet now!!! come support the Kaika Company. )

( ooc: company info is still coming, but it's... what it says on the tin. technically owned by Taichi, with Izumi as director and the A3 cast as founding members! )

[The video doesn't show Azul at all for a minute or two, instead clearly being a pre-recorded tour of a very nice looking restaurant with some royalty free music (Azul absolutely paid someone to film this nonsense).

Eventually the pre-recorded stuff stops and we cut to Azul at a desk in what is likely the office of the restaurant. He's smiling, quite proud.]

You'll have to forgive the amateur intro video, that's never been my forte. Hopefully that won't turn anyone away from coming to visit my establishment once we officially open at the end of this month or early next month. Golden Silence is a fine dining establishment with a focus on atmosphere, live music, and excellent cooking. There is a business casual dress code, though this can change depending on events we're hosting.

[Right. Time to talk about that.]

Such as our first one, to be held the weekend we open! We're all outsiders here and I know it's not always easy making connections in a new world, so to help with that we will be hosting...a speed dating event.

[The silliest idea, and yet here we are.]

Thank you for your time.

[And the video cuts out to another short little thing, advertising the Speed Dating and also that Azul is hiring.]

langa

[ Langa appears on camera and he just looks sort of -- straight-faced and serious. On top of his head is a yeti who will be staring into the camera, but quiet, the whole time. ]

Hello, I'm Hasegawa Langa, and I'm looking to get a job here.

I worked in a skate shop at home.

[ He reaches up a hand and gently pets the yeti on top of his head who seems very happy with the affection. ]

But, I don't really mind any sort of job. I have healing and light magic if that helps anything. I am fairly new here and I would like to move out of the inn as soon as possible so my friend and I have space.

[ He tilts his head, looking almost confused for a moment. ]

Also, my familiar has taken to tripping me sometimes without any explanation. The rest of the time, he likes to attach himself to my side, so it doesn't appear to be for any dislike. I'm not sure I understand why.

[ He's dead silent for a moment and then there's a small smile. ]

Oh. Two questions:

What is your favorite place to eat here?

If anyone has any neat locations that might be fun to skateboard, can you pass along the location information?

Thank you.

unknowntodeath

[Archer is well aware that some people will definitely recognize who this is, but he would still rather stay behind the mask of anonymity with this particular subject.

He's been thinking about his name. What people should call him. What his real name is now.]

Hypothetically, if you had thrown away your name for any reason and picked up a new one, would you still consider your previous one yours?

Especially if you lost your reason to hide behind the other name and don't need to hide who you are anymore.

Would you return to your previous name?

milkmycattle

[The video opens up to Crow lounging on an armchair. He has his guitar resting on his lap as he strums out a few notes before turning his attention to the camera. With enthusiasm and a toothy grin, he points towards the camera as if his attention is solely on the viewer!]

Evening Cattle!! Your resident Crimson Fallen Angel of the Apocalypse, Crow, is present!!

[ Yep, he probably lost half of the people tuning in already, but he doesn't skip a bit. He seems confident as ever as leans back into the chair.]

Today I bring you a scarlet new development! Rejoice! A new band will be gracing the ears of the denizens of Camelot! And you have a chance to be a part of it! Morgan Knight and I will be recruiting other passionate musicians to be part of this new soul-stirring group!

If you're interested, respond to this video with your details or show up for auditions at the Phoenix Roost next Friday! We're only interested in serious inquiries only, so don't waste our time!

[Now that he has the info dump out of the way, time for some self-promotion!]

If you've been living under a rock, and don't know who I am or you want to hear my music, I also do performances at the Phoenix Roost! Check me out on the first Saturday of the Month after Dusk! I'll set your soul ablaze!

[For dramatic effect, he sends a wave of crimson feathers towards the screen, obscuring the view of him. At least it doesn't muffle the sound as the rocker signs off.]

Crow out!

[Video ends, hopefully, everyone has their eardrums intact.]

glossophobia

[ He probably shouldn't be making this a video, but every day is an endeavor for him to get better at public speaking, so at least it'll be worth it in the long run. Maybe. ]

I... um, h-hello.

[ Rosho's never actually spoken on the network before. It's glaringly obvious. He fidgets. Then fidgets again. ]

I wanted to ask about a problem— ah, or, not really a problem, it's just. I'm not sure what to call it.

[ For those who happen to have animal magic you can hear a faint voice in the background:

RORO! ]

S-so, normally my magic is alchemy. And, I have... death magic too. But since I teach, usually, I help with alchemy practice. At the school. Except when I went to work I couldn't use it anymore. Alchemy I mean.

[ The voice is getting a little louder and more persistent:

RORO! RORO, LISTEN LISTEN!! ]

Instead as I went to work I noticed that, that something was weird. Animals, I... I guess I can hear them now. That's animal magic, r-right?

[ RORO! RORO! RORO!

Rosho trembles, but it isn't from his anxiety this time, as something that looks like a ferret begins crawling up his shoulder. And then there's another one on the other shoulder. And now another one is crawling up the front of his sweatervest. And then there's one on his head, and all of them are making the same chittering sound to those without animal magic, but they're all speaking at once.

RORO RORO, LISTEN LISTEN! TALK TALK, FRIEND! WE FRIEND! SCARY SCARY, GO AWAY! NO SCARE!

They're now trying to climb down his arms in order to get at the communicator he's using, sensing that it's the cause of his stress. Even if the kuda-gitsune are meddlesome chatterboxes, they're still very protective of him. Too bad Rosho does not share their sentiment and honestly looks like he's going to lose his shit in seconds as he talks between grit teeth. ]

H-has anyone's, magic, just... suddenly changed like this? And...

Are all the animals I can talk to, going to be this loud and annoying...?

konpeito_aji

Make sure you get my good side!

[Oda Nobunaga is being filmed by someone else, and as he quickly makes apparent: hunting in the forest.]

Okay! This is Oda Nobunaga, Demon King of the Sixth Heaven. [He'll get tired of that mouthful... eventually.] Hijikata-sama is busy doing super important police work so I got Zuko to provide backup so I can show you proper sumo techniques on a bear fir! Those are trees in the shape of bears. Don't worry, if I get eaten, and can't cut my way free, Zuko will set it on fire, and then we'll show you how to make sure it doesn't spread to the forest!

First you need to lure it! [He has a fish for the bait.] In my time, we would give offerings and sacrifices, but since I want to wrestle one, not appease it--

[He doesn't get to finish the sentence before he gets sideswiped by an irritated bear fir. It was not lured by the fish. It was flushed out by Nobunaga's oni, but who's counting?]

[Nobunaga crashes into a tree, gets the wind knocked out of him... but he's grinning ear to ear.]

[And tackles the bear, trying to wrestle, or ride it, or... who the fuck knows?]

[It's a bit insane. But eventually he winds up inside it and cuts himself free...]

[And looks sorely disappointed.]

Ah... that's it? I didn't get to show anything off... Okay! Let's do the fire anyway! Zuko set me on fire!

[This can only end well.]

[On cue, a small puff of flame appears from the cameraman's unseen hands. The flames are weak. After another, only slightly bigger puff, a grumble can be heard, before one more unsteady, unimpressive lick of flames appears from thin air, followed by a hoarse:]

What the fuck?!

[Muttered under the firebender's breath. Finally, fourth must be the charm... and a gust of fire shoots forth, striking Nobunaga straight-on. Thank goodness the daimyo has healing magic because, uh, Zuko is clearly not fully in control of this fire he's magicking up. And he's very embarrassed to be short on juice on a live public feed. This whole thing isn't going exactly to plan, is it?]

[The grown warlord then holds up a finger, as his cuirass (at least it's not his Japanese armor? Is that better or worse?) smolders and gets hotter!] This technique isn't taught in my time, but you should all know it!

Stop! Drop! And roll!

[And he demonstrates.]

[The bear fir in the meanwhile has recollected, REFORMED itself... and just decides an idiot on fire is not worth trying to eat again. Good thinking. Off it goes!]

[No idiots were maimed in the making of this video. Don't play with fire. Or bear trees.]

dottedline

So what exactly do you people have against working with these traders and getting their queen on our side?

[You guys have pissed off a minotaur. Azul questions your sense.]

It will take longer, yes, but it's the most straightforward and has the fewest risks involved while also having the most benefits. Surely I'm not the only one who sees that?

[His tone is polite, but there is a "and if you don't see this, you're an idiot" sort of implied there.]

sos_pilot

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!))

rediscovering

1. what do you know about job interviews?
i didnt know you have to interview to get jobs. even if it's just at a restaurant!! regardless of whether the job itself involves talking to people at all!!? stupid

[ Guess who's been bombing interviews as a part-time busboy all over town. And who's only bothering to ask about proper employment beyond random quests, um, now, after several months of just getting by...? He must be getting tired of stealing hotchips from the cornerstore. ]

2. what do you know about going to school as a full-time student here?
i heard you can make a living like this
insight about going to school in other worlds could be useful too. i was homeschooled....

[ But at least he's thinking in terms of solutions. ]

colchismagecraft

[Caster's lack of technological ability was hardly a secret in Avalon. After all, whilst these things proved themselves useful for communication here, what need did a Magus from the Age of Gods have to learn more than she needed to about these silly devices?

A coworker at the library had mentioned that it was possible to search the devices for information, though, so Caster decided to try and finally get an understanding of what this... 'meme' concept was that she and Stella had spoken about a couple of months back. All the context she had was a photo of an eel she got sent after all!

But unfortunately... No one had told her how to access the search, so she instead ended up accidentally spamming the network. Oops.]

what exactly is a meme

definition of meme

memes?

search for memes

memes about eels

are there greek mythology memes

greek mythology meme?

are there memes about me

how do I delete memes from internet

why is my phone not searching

cute dresses

adorable dresses?

how to make phone search

what is a meme search

stupid device I will curse you if you do not carry out a search for me

[Someone stop her before she throws it at a wall.

Or troll her/make fun of her/send her actual memes and confuse her.]
