(TW Adultery/Caster's sadism/Misandry)

[Perhaps Caster was upset that her housemate had vanished. Perhaps she was just projecting all of her Jason-related anger onto someone else. Or perhaps she just hadn't had enough arson lately to satisfy her inner sadism.

So tonight, she'd decided to take to the network to give some 'helpful' commentary on the Fisher King problem. Naturally, half-cloaked in shadows as she usually did.]

Good evening, Avalon. For those I haven't met yet, you may call me 'Caster'.

...I don't intend to linger too long tonight, but I gather that at least a few people here feel sympathetic toward the Fisher King in all off this. Who want to compassionately reach out to and help him for being so unfairly targeted. Now, perhaps there are newcomers here who have yet to dig into his history... but the wretched fool deserves no such kindness.

As I understand, he cheated on his wife, and in turn, she rightfully sought to make him suffer- so he'd never die, or have children again- by driving a holy lance into his leg. Considering he had to be resurrected, I can't say the curse entirely worked as intended, but...

I think a punishment like that was perfect for something so unforgivable. Wretched men like that deserve such a fate, don't you think? Haha~

[After amusing herself with the thought for a moment, she paused, before adding a short addition to her post.]

...

...Ah. I should mention, Maribelle and the Red Saber seem to have disappeared, for those it may concern.

beaumains

[ Outside the cottage that Gareth shares with Kadoc, the young knight is working up a sweat, dressed down to a tank top with a towel draped over her shoulders. It's hard to ignore just how much lean muscle the seemingly petite woman has in a situation like this.

She pulls a swig from her water bottle, sighing. ]

It's hard to believe I'm spending another summer in this Avalon. It really leads one to think, you know?

About time... about what it even means in a place like this. About what's going to become of all of us when this is over...

It sort of makes one think they should use their time here more urgently, right?

[ One big swig. A long pause, and... ]

... I really need to get out more.

resistetmords

[This was all a basic pr stunt, she knew. But it was nice, and cute. Besides, it wasn't like there was much going on lately anyway. Anyway, for this video she was once again wearing her Grenadier uniform to help her look sharp and professional! Gotta put on airs when recruiting people- asking people for help with community service!]

Would anyone be willing to help out your local knights with doing a bit of community service?

[Hm, another thought also occurred to her as well.] Oh- and on a different note, I'm going to need some help taking an egg to the local shelter.

[tw death/afterlife talk]

[Unlike last Valentine's Day, Caster didn't come to the network late that evening looking for a distraction- instead, she used the chance to shatter romantic moods, and ask a question that had been playing on her mind for some time.

Of course, the video was dark, poorly lit and as suspicious as was traditional with her- the lower half of her face only visible by the gleaming of a strange potion brewing nearby.]

Good evening, Avalon. For those I haven't met yet, I go by 'Caster' here.

For anyone else who's grown tired of the day's festivities and would like to humour me- I have a question. Tell me, what is the afterlife like in your worlds? There are so many legends, after all, and I'm always interested in hearing in how they differ.

[A pause for thought, before adding, by way of deflection: ]

Ah. I'm working on some new potions at the moment- do come by if you're curious.

unknowntodeath

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.]

resistetmords

[Following the Solstice event everyone, and I mean EVERYONE (even Yuber), will notice a package in front of the doors where they live. Boxes done up in paper wrapping and beautified with ribbons and bows. A little, hand-written note was attached to each one. Some were a bit more personalized than others, but the overall message read about the same.]

Goodness,

This was quite a bit more difficult to perform than I had anticipated! You were all rather hard to find and reach! This has most likely reached you a tad late, ended up having to rely on your local postal services to make certain it reached all of you in time! But all the same, I do hope it has found you well and undamaged. It's not much, I'm afraid, normally I would do more for you. But that's not within my abilities this time around.

But please, accept, and enjoy this small gift. And remember, no matter the difficulties, past, present and future. Work together, love one another, enjoy your lives, enjoy your time together. And, have a very Merry Christmas, a Joyful Solstice, and a Wonderful New Year!

Signed, with best wishes,

Sinterklaas, Saint Nicholas, Father Christmas, Papa Noël, Santa Claus

[Inside each package will be some fresh baked cookies, like chocolate chip, speculoos, sugar cookies, and so on. As well as a few small tarts. All nicely packaged in their own tins. As well as some belgian chocolates that also look handmade. Children will also be given some small toys, books or clothes. Those who Belgium personally knows will be given more personalized gifts. Usually something she figures they'd really want or enjoy.

Or at least as best as she can manage. To those who know her or have interacted with her... they'll probably be able to sus out who sent the packages. They can probably do that anyway, given she used the local postal services to send things out while she was away!]

[ooc: Feel free to use this as a mingle post. Or a reaction post for pups to give gifts to one another, give each other well wishes, and simply enjoy themselves and spread a bit of joy and love!

Merry Christmas everyone!]

morns

( 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? )

plenilunium

[The video opens up to a room with fake candles around. Jyushi would usually go for actual candles but he is sharing the space with someone else so he isn't going to be too dangerous.

Also, he has a tiger's eye around his neck as a necklace. He has no idea what people are using it for and he just think it's a pretty gem :(]

Ah, the cold winds are upon us! Cruel ice, tearing at our skin! We often think of many parts of ourselves, but our lips...? One of the most important parts of our bodies?!

[Usually he'd do the whole video with his visual kei persona but this is important so he's quick to go to his usual voice:]

First of all, it's important to use a lip exfoliant! [The camera is zoomed in on his lips. Why? Well, it's about lip care after all. So it's zoomed in on his lips and then he holds up an ointment lip balm.] Make sure to use a lip balm that has ointment! Essential oils or something can work but so can glycerin! You want to stay away from harsh things for your lips. They've got a lot to do!

[That sure is a way to word that.]

You'll want to be careful about licking your lips. Don't do that! It can be really bad for them, especially in the winter. I just wanted to help everybody out so their lips can stay strong for the tough time ahead of us!

beewulf

Alright, alright, Minako. I'm back just as I promised. Not a scratch on me or hair out of place either.

[He was currently outside in the cold, lighting up a grill. Looking rather bored; that itch was still there, gnawing away at his guts. It was hard to describe, it wasn't hunger, not entirely, but he did know what it was. And it was that knowledge of what the feeling is and what it's tied to that offers up a small frown from him.

A frown and just the barest hints of annoyance.]

Oh, and Master. If you're looking at this, make sure you stop by, I'm going to have some steaks going. I suppose you can come too if you want, Kadoc.

[This was all being addressed to specific people, sure. But he looked a little lost in thought, not even bothered by the cold as he stood out in it... with only a pair of pants on.

..."I'm gonna be a dragon steeeaakkk!"

And now you are.]

beaumains

[ When the camera first turns on, it's a pretty blinding white as the light levels adjust to all the snow and sunlight about. It takes a moment, but eventually the picture becomes clear and the lens turns to Gareth, who gives a bright smile and wave before setting the camera up on a nearby post to point at what she'd been doing. ]

Let's see... Hello all! Sir Gareth of Orkney here, and, well, I hope the weather's not being too much of a bother. Usually it snows much later in winter, where I'm from, so this all came as a surprise for me, too...

[ Now that the work of plowing down the snow to more reasonable levels outside of the home she shared with Kadoc was done, Gareth had set about something else, standing aside to gesture at two snowy sculptures of vaguely familiar figures. ]

Ah, it probably needs some work, right?

[ Snow sculpting, even with Elemental magic, was harder than it looked. ]

Well, all snow aside, I'm also trying out some new scone recipes, and nothing warms the blood like good scones, a beer, and a fire to sit beside! I've got all three, here, if you want a chance to put up your feet for a bit!

(This post is made purely for the sake of curiosity. And to distract herself and others from feeling ill.)

How many worlds do you think exist? Infinite? What about galaxies?

(Her Peko-Peko makes a soft sound, wings fluttering as she lands by Padmé for a treat.)

I accepted that other galaxies existed before I came to Avalon. I never considered a number, however, or how different they might be from the one I knew.

My home world is called Naboo. I've heard a little about Earth, but are there other planets that you call home?

troubadamsel

I can't believe I have to make a public announcement like this, but clearly some of you need to hear it! For those of you who have been living under a rock, there's a flu going around - a magical flu, of all things, really. Yet those who have caught it are insisting on broadcasting it, going out and about in public, making themselves and all those around them sicker! It's a wonder a great many of you have survived to live this long, considering how foolish you've acted.

So it comes to me to take care of things, as always. First off, if you suffer from these symptoms, you have the flu -

A fever, possibly coming with chills
Constant coughing
Sore throat
Runny or stuffy nose
Muscle or body aches
Headaches
Fatigue
And, again, as this is a magic flu, spontaneous magical shenanigans.

Second, since it's become clear some of you can't take care of yourselves, I'm taking it upon myself to visit those who are ill to tend to them!

[ To wit, she moves to put on her Magic Mask - a face mask that really only prevents inhaling magic dusts, but it should still do the job. It's plain until she puts it on, whereupon it's decorated in fancy frills. She then puts up a wicker basket, full of food and a few medical supplies - fresh small towels, tissue boxes, hot water bottles, etc. ]

And before you penny pinchers begin to whine, no, I'm not asking for anything in return, save for your cooperation and to behave like adults! And for those of you who are too stubborn to ask for help... don't think I won't find you. I have my ways.

[ Because the best way to distract oneself from the misery that comes with your friend from your home world vanishing is to throw yourself into everybody's business! She's Fine.]

[Morgan's not his cheeriest today, which is to say, he's still smiling as he lazes about in a comfy chair, but not with ebullient glee.]

Just keeping y'all up to date -- with the regrettable disappearance of Miss Ardenbury, I've basically inherited her position as ambassador to End of the World?

[The armlet totem Cecelia'd been given dangles from a finger as he lifts it into view.]

So if anyone wants to pop on down there, let me know. If anyone wants to help out with the whole business, also let me know. And, uh, apropos of nothing, if you guys could all contrive to drop a pen or a sock or something in a place where it can easily get lost, I'd appreciate it. Bargaining stuff.

impostorsyndrome

[Kadoc doesn't default to video, but for something like this, it feels like the only right way to go about this. The camera is pointed at him sitting outside on a stump, clearly somewhere on the city outskirts where the civilization thins out and becomes countryside, but there is a building complex of some sort visible in the background.]

Hey. I'll make this pretty quick. Some of you might remember Tanaka. He was running an animal shelter and a stable while he was here, and I was working for him. But now that he's gone . . . I wasn't about to abandon the wildlife he was taking care of, but he was an Animal Mage. I'm not. And with all the animal refugees coming in after the crisis, there's a lot more work to do, and I'll have to expand.

[He pauses here, glancing behind himself back at the compound before he looks back at the camera—or at least, he faces it. One gets the impression he wouldn't be making eye contact if there were eyes there to contact.]

. . . I probably should've edited together some kinda tacky video with footage of adorable animals in need and some sad music, but I didn't, so instead I'll just say that if anyone wants a job, I'm looking for Animal Mages, Healers, and anyone else who's good with wildlife or has veterinary or equestrian experience. And if anyone finds a sick, injured, or stray animal that needs rehab or a permanent place to stay, you can bring it here. We can board and care for horses, too, if you've gotten one recently and need a place for it. Let me know if you're interested in helping out.

. . . Thanks.

[He's going to attach the address and peace out. More info to be found here!]

For those that knew of and were friend to Sir Gawain of Orkney, Son of Lot, Holy Sword of the Round Table

He is gone from this world, his room empty, as is his stable.

Had you any unfulfilled business or affairs, I shall take responsibility for them as his closest kin within this world.

Thank you, kindly, and I wish you well.

- Sir Gareth of Orkney.

amakakeru

How many of you have been introduced to someone by the name of Sakamoto Ryouma?

[ Yes, someone has been dealing with Problems in overhearing his True Name. ]

I'm just curious to know how many of you there are and what you know.

[ Not that he doesn't have his suspicions, of course. What a fantastic introduction to a new world! ]

[The video feed opens to a blurry shot of Rinea's porch as she turns it on, then sits back a proper distance with a smile. She has managed to center the camera properly this time: no ceiling shots or fingers covering the lens. She practiced! (Still, she looks a bit nervous.)]

Um.. Good day. My name is Rinea! I have a request to make. It's a bit silly, but I would be very happy for assistance nonetheless.

The truth is... I have been residing in Camelot for some time now, but am still unused to using... the internet. [Blush.] It seems a very vital skill to have, to keep abreast of the news! I've missed many an important post on local dangers! But I've still had trouble with checking regularly.

So-- would anyone be interested in exchanging letters, as conversational partners? I believe the term is "pen pals." I would enjoy befriending more of my fellow Avalon otherworlders... and I think having messages to look forward to will make it easier for me to remember to check the phone.

[A hah hah hah. Embarrassing. But still-- she will soldier on!!!]

I will gladly chat about anything, of course! But as for myself, topics I can speak upon include dancing and embroidery. I also spend much of my time honing my alchemy and potionmaking skills-- I would be very happy to share what I have learned there. I also admire gardens and their wildlife, but I have little experience in their cultivation... Oh, and music, as well. You know, the music of Avalon is so varied compared to home, it's a little overwhelming!

[Remembering herself, Rinea inclines her head shyly at the camera.]

Um-- Thank you for listening. I very much look forward to meeting anyone interested!

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 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.

🔪

beewulf

[Despite the username, it's not Beowulf himself that appears on the feed. But an unearthly, beautiful woman. Smiling teasingly, seductively at the feed, her fair hair braided with a few locks falling down the sides of her cheeks. Green eyes stared captivating at whoever happened to pop in.]

I'm feeling incredibly lonely tonight. Would there happen to be anyone willing to keep me company for a bit~?

[The voice was cool and calm. Like a light breeze brushing against leaves.]

[Action]

[Sometime later a somewhat annoyed looking Beowulf could be spotted carrying bags of clothing and snacks with that same, seductive woman clinging to his arm. Giggling and looking like she was having the time of her life.

Do you approach?]

[ooc: Basically his familiar decided to play a little prank after getting a little miffed that he hasn't introduced her yet. As a side note, I'm still forced to use my phone for internet so replies are gonna be a bit slow and probably not all that large.]
