In the spirit of Spring, name someone you have a crush on~. Don't be shy now, I'm sure there's at least one or two people here that makes your heartbeat fast. ;3

[She's in a fantastic mood, please let her gush over how cute you guys are. Feel free to tag each other too~]

[Lorenz is folded in on himself, tucked tightly onto an armchair with his legs under him. He's doing his best to look as irritated and haughty as ever but there's a little edge of something heavier under that.]

Has anyone had much luck with potions work yet? [He holds a small, empty bottle up, some small trace of liquid still left inside it.] I've no idea what he meant to accomplish with whatever this is but-

[He's quick to redirect the camera before he either reveals how worried he is or just surrenders to his frustration. One is as likely as the other at this point. The camera pans down to show that his chair is tucked up beside a bed... a bed where one Claude von Riegan lies, suspiciously peaceful, clearly deep asleep. His familiar, a small wyvern about the size of a housecat, curled up on his chest snoring softly. Though she squirms a little when the light from Lorenz' phone shines on her, flopping one wing over her head.... and smacking it directly into Claude's face.

Not that he responds.]

We can't get him to wake up for anything and while I can't be too concerned, it's likely his own fault. Honestly. Always sticking his nose in things-

Well. Naira isn't concerned so I doubt he's in any danger but we need to be returning to Camelot before long. Of course he'd play with these things and not stop to consider how inconvenient it is for the rest of us cleaning up his messes. [The camera turns back to him, fingers rubbing at his brow as he wills down his annoyance. It's so much easier to be irritated than it is to twist himself into knots with worry.]

If we can't find a way to wake him I may have to ask someone far sturdier and more agile than myself to carry his sorry hide back to Camelot.

((OOC: There is no actual potion mishaps here but no one is surprised that's what Lorenz suspects. Flayn is hovering around Claude too so expect responses from one or both of them. Not like anyone is worried about this idiot.))

[it's the middle of the night when an image is posted to the network from someone who has chosen to be anonymous]

so how would you choose to be spooky?

[in a world where halloween doesn't exist but ghosts do, you can talk about hauntings whenever you want! nobody can stop you or judge you!]

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!)

[Makoto starts the video and it's clear that he's in bed and looking a little under the weather. But then, the video shakes because someone decided he needed to join in on this and parked himself right on Makoto's lap.

He sighed, but he immediately starts giving his dog pets between the big ears standing erect in curiosity over the camera.]

Ahaha, sorry 'bout that. This is Biscuit and not the point of this video. JJ's told me things have been getting festive, but I didn't think this place knew about Halloween? Or am I just assuming things? Is anyone dressing up or doing anything fun?

[A small, sheepish smile here. He's really just going off second hand knowledge here since he's been coped up at home!]

I've been sick these past few weeks so I feel like I'm out of the loop! Anyone wanna humor me and Biscuit?

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.]

I'd hoped to be able to do this more casually, but considering the circumstances--

[Poison's voice is tight and clipped in a way that could be mistaken for irritation, though anyone who's been able to get to know her a little - or is perceptive in that way - would be able to identify it more as anxiety.]

A-- friend and I have been working together to set up an alchemy guild building, to be open to all alchemists and potion-crafters in Avalon. Given the current situation-- situations, the door is opening early for anyone needing or wanting space to make up some potions and so on before they leave, or to hand out to anyone leaving.

[The young woman sighs and, in a moment of completely forgetting she's on camera, looks offside with her hand pushed up into the front of her hair, her lower lip held so tightly under her teeth for a second that it looks like she could bite through it.

She shakes it off, sharply clearing her throat.]

We're stocked with supplies. Anyone's welcome.

[And here she tags the location on to the post.]

Just come in and I'll point you to the stores and a room where you can work. Just don't set anything on fire.

(( open to network convo, action, and any action mingling if that's what you're fancying! ))

Has anyone heard of Creatures and Castles?

[ She is referring to a similar game about fighting fantastic monsters. ]

[ 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.

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.))

Hey, so, here's a fun question: Who else here has spent basically no time at all at a warm, clean, safe beach before coming here?

[ Steph happens to be recording this from the beach, so you can see how idyllic the place is. The waves makes a nice backdrop, too. ]

Follow-up question: How do you guys feel about fireworks, popsicles and s'mores?

Follow-up-follow-up question: Are you guys doing anything this weekend? Because it doesn't have to be a party for me to do all these things, but doing it solo just seems selfish. So, I'm inviting literally everyone.

[ She's about to turn it off when she thinks of something, and pauses. ]

Oh yeah, one more thing: I haven't been to a party that didn't end in disaster since I was 12. So if anyone tries something sketchy, I will personally hunt you down and break your nose.

That's all!

[There is a cat on the screen. A white cat wearing a red collar sporting a small silver bell and a green, tear-drop shaped pendant. He looks at the communication device for several moments with a pair of sharp, vivid green eyes.

Then the cat speaks.]

Ah, good, it's working.

[The cat's voice sounds... more or less as you might expect a cat to sound. He doesn't have a human voice, but rather the various sounds a feline might make are twisted around into entirely coherent words. He shifts in place, adjusting the position of his small white paws.]

I thought it best to get this out of the way as quickly as possible, having no wish to spend another year explaining that I am not someone's familiar. [His ears flick back momentarily.]

Nor am I a human choosing to look like this, or a simple housecat. Do not treat me as such. [The talking part probably gave that last bit away, but he's met a lot of stupid people. Mogget pauses here, and lets out a quiet sigh.

He ends the communication there, though one might hear a mutter of '--don't know why I bother' just before it shuts off.]

[Ren looks a little bit different this month, thanks to a certain ritual. He's confused about it, sure, but he seems to be fine with it. Thanks Lunatia for teaching him this is actually pretty normal.

His condition isn't why he is one the network though.]

I'm sure I won't be the only one on the network with the a certain #MerlinQuest in mind, but someone has to get it started, right?

This is an invitation for anyone to come do the quest with me. If you're feeling shy, I can start us off~ But I would like to know who I'm talking to so I can personalize~

And before any of the spoilsports ask, no I don't feel ashamed. Why would I be ashamed of wanting to spread love and kind words around?

[ 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.
