Two questions.

1. Does anyone have any ideas about how to turn a mechanical object into one which runs on magic?

2. Would people be interested in a social media channel of videos explaining science and doing experiments to determine the differences between Earth and Avalon? Like gravity, acceleration, states of matter - things like that.

[y'all know the scene: room at the inn, so this is probably a noob. And indeed, the redhead dressed like a thrift store fell on her is a new face on the network.]

Hokay, so. I'd like a Word with whoever picks the stuff we get out of that box. A tool belt with no tools, I ask you, who makes a girl rebuild her kit from scratch?

I mean, I'd also like a word with whoever thinks 'dunk everyone in a lake' is a great idea, but I'm sure I'm not the only one there.

Anyway. What do people do for money around here, because I kinda doubt my day job is gonna translate.

We sure this animal-parts thing is magical and not medical?

Because in Liminal Space it was medical.

[There's some quiet shuffling and then Matt's voice comes through, much more subdued than usual. He seems more than a little out of sorts.]

For anyone who knows Pidge Holt, she's gone back to our world.

[It's all he can say before hanging up. Oops. Sorry, Avalon. Matt's not really thinking at the moment.]

This is a question more for the people here who are the only one from their world.
But I suppose anyone can answer if they want to.

Who do you go to when you're afraid?
I've been in worse places than this, but being alone anywhere is a different kind of thing.

If there's nobody you know, and no one you really think you can trust with you when you're vulnerable, who do you go to?

I'd like to know. I want to hear some thoughts that are different from mine. Maybe it will give me some perspective.

[ Heavy sigh. His tone is resigned and frustrated. ]

Alright. I give up. I'm bored. I never thought I would hate peace and quiet this much.

Did anyone tear their clothes recently?
Does anyone need warm soup for the chills?
Maybe I can borrow a book to read?

Something. Anything.

... I'm even considering that school stuff, for real this time.

So... Are there any dragons in this place? Non-familiar dragons? If so, have they ever harassed the townsfolk here?

And for those of you that have dragon familiars: How chill are they? If someone wanted to burn some paper dragon dolls, are they going to get mad?

Hi there.
I'm Dr. Takuto Maruki, and for those of you I haven't met, I'm a licenced counsellor in my home world. That means I help people with their mental burdens and prior trauma by offering advice and a confidential space where they can speak about whatever is bothering them.

I recently registered myself as a counsellor here in Avalon, so if any of you have any problems — whether that's with ongoing events here, your arrival, or even problems from your home world — you can drop by and chat to me. I'll do my best to help, or at least provide a space for you to vent.

I'm located on the outskirts of town and my office will be open every day. You can come as often or as rarely as you need! It's all up to you.

Well. Thank you for reading, and I hope this can be helpful to you all.

( ooc; the linked post can also be used if you want to thread out any sessions with him. feel free to just drop in there, or his IC inbox, if your character doesn't want to approach him on the network. note that any therapy threads may be replied to slowly, simply because they're quite mentally demanding, so if you want to handwave or work things out in advance, PM me or send me a message at exits#8071 at Discord. )

[The video starts with smoke billowing into the night sky, and as the camera pans down, the source becomes plainly clear. The edge of the Brocéliande woodland is ablaze, and the fire is starting to spread. Silhouetted against this ominous backdrop is the figure of Caster, using subtle magical manipulation to make her usual, heavy cloak cast an even darker shadow than it should as it billowed out around her.

Her eyes can't be seen under the hood of her cloak, but even in this darkness a broken smirk can be seen across the Witch of Betrayal's face. The twisted ritual dagger she held gleamed a sickening red in the light of the flames.]

( Hecate curse you all )

[ooc: The log itself will go up tonight/tomorrow for getting involved stopping this mess- note that if you have a heroic character who'd ICly get involved but you don't want to deal with this mess OOC, she's recording late at night in somewhere with ropey network signal, so feel free to assume the memo didn't get through or that your character couldn't track her down in the chaos.

Also- threadhopping totally welcome for this one.]

Hypothetical question: If given the opportunity to hold a chicken, how much would you pay to hold the most perfect chicken for an hour?

[Ignoring the fact that Weird Stuff is happening. Yep. Not commenting.]

Anybody interested in setting up a crystal swap? There are a lot of extra crystals with different properties floating around at the moment, so if you have some you don't want, maybe someone will trade you something you do want.

It doesn't even have to be crystals being bartered. There are a few types of stone I'd be interested in even if they don't have special magic enhancing abilities, for myself, but maybe we could trade services, like pairing up for quests, or getting someone to come figure out why your strawberries are wilting.

Someone was throwing out a bunch of banded agate and some quartz with some kind of inclusions in it. Some of them almost look like little landscapes in there. There's way more than I need. I've been tumbling them in a coffee can with some sand, so they're definitely not raw anymore, though I don't know that I'd call them professional or anything. Anybody interested? I could do some pictures, too.

There appears to be a strange rumour circulating that I am dead.

I would like to publicly assure anyone who knows me that it is certainly not the case. The person accused was assisting me while I was unconscious, not dragging my corpse away to hide the evidence.

If none of this means a thing to you, please disregard this message.

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.

I hate being sick.

[Whooo, boy, yep, that is a stuffy, stuffy nose kind a voice, bassier and more gravelly than the last time Shiro was on the Network.]

Can I ask you guys to talk to me? Text, voice, whatever. I am bored already and it hasn't even been four hours yet.

Tell me about... your familiar. Or your favorite food. Or the place on the island you think everyone should see. Tell meeeeee... if you had any pets before this. Or if you have any now! People have dogs here, right? Maybe cats too? I dunno, I haven't gone looking for pet stores. Figure I have to be able to support one first, and I'm guessing the inn doesn't really do pets.

Oh! Um, could someone do an errand for me? I wanted to go to the store and get some, like. Soup, or microwave food or something for me and my new roommate. I c'n transfer you the money, don't worry about that. Yusuke and Shinryu have just forbidden me to get out of bed.

[The camera clicks on, initially capturing a view of a partly cloudy sky. The camera moves downward, bringing its owner into view: Bennett. He's got what appears to be a pair of wings on his back.]

Hey there! Bennett here, coming to you live from the rooftops of Camelot, haha!

[He switches over from the front camera to the rear, presenting a gorgeous view of the city below, as seen from the rooftop of a building, and a particularly tall one at that, judging by how far down some of those buildings seem. How did he get up there? Don't worry about it.]

I recently got my Wind Glider back, so I thought it'd be pretty cool to get an aerial view of the city. You know, gliding high above the city, talking about some of my favorite spots here... All that fun stuff! Anyway, here I go!

[He runs, and leaps into the air off of the rooftop he's on. But rather than dropping, he seems to float in the air, suspended above the ground below while he points his phone at the sights of the city.]

So, starting off, in my opinion, the best crepes in town can be found at that place over there! [A gloved hand comes into the shot, pointing at a cafe down below.] And over there [pointing at a very wide building now] is the hospital with the friendliest staff! They don't give me grief even when I end up there for the fourth time in two weeks. Aaaand... Ah! Down there is--Whoa!?

[Suddenly, without warning, a powerful wind picks up, blowing Bennett and his glider lopsided. Knocked around, it causes him to let go of his phone, allowing it to plummet sstraight to the ground. The last thing seen before it hits the ground is Bennett's horrified expression moving farther and farther away until it hits the ground, terminating the video.

---

A minute later, it comes back on, back in Bennett's hand and broadcasting his face again. There's a clear crack running down the middle of the lens, causing him to look like he's been split in two, and both the video and the audio is crackly and distorted.]

Hi, Camelot: this is Shiro speaking...

Ah, I'm new in the area, and I understand that I'm going to be here a while. Couple of questions I was hoping someone could help me out with.

I heard a rumor that you can get paid for going to school here: true or false?
Is there a certain process, or form I should be filling out to get housing other than the hotel?

And. [The voice hesitates a moment before carrying on at a slightly different pitch.] Is there anyone here who specializes in prosthetics?

I appreciate you listening, and I'd be grateful for any help given.

Thanks.

Shiro out.
