[ izō is sitting on the back porch steps of the building that serves as the sakamoto detective agency and apparently filming this himself based on the fact that this is a shaky, amateur selfie cam video feed. ]

Hey so... I got eggs. An' ya oughta be buyin' 'em 'cause they're fuckin' great!

Language!

[ to anyone who isn't an animal mage, all they would've heard is sudden, noisy clucking from somewhere offscreen. ]

Sorry. Er—... c'mon look at all the colours!

[ awkwardly, he changes the video to use the other camera and then has to adjust. eventually, though, a basket of eggs is visible. all the shells are in varying shades of blue and green. ]

Hehe, yeah, got yer attention now, huh? This shit right here? Top shelf.

[ is he supposed to be selling eggs or–…? LOOK. he's really into this, actually, which is probably why he doesn't get called on that swear. ]

So, uh, that's it. Buy some eggs or whatever. Why I gotta say anything else? Ya know what eggs are…

[ he brings the camera really close. threateningly close. too close? ]

Only these ones are better! Why? 'Cause, my chickens are the best!

[ another burst of clucking for the non-animal magic users, and something that sounds like a couple of excited middle-aged ladies talking loudly over each other for those who can understand them. it's impossible to know what they're saying, only that it sounds happy enough. ]

Anyway... if ya wanna pick some up, I work outta the Sakamoto Detective Agency. An' bring that guy somethin' to do while yer at it. Not that he has anythin' t'do with this. Ain't like he put me up to this! ... Huh?

[ how's that for a free promotion, ryouma? izō looks offscreen for a second, distracted. ]

Oh. And they said thanks. The hens, I mean. So don't make 'em upset by not rewardin' 'em for their hard work or else!

[ he ends the feed there. that should do it... right? ]

Hey guys, Belgium here~! I’ve got a big announcement to make! My big broer, the Kingdom of the Netherlands is here! He’s… come here big brother.

[She disappears off screen for a moment and could be heard talking to someone before dragging a taller, handsome man onto the screen by his arm.]

Well, this is him, he’s really strong, handsome and aloof. So please try to keep in your pants girls!

[She was patting his arm with each word as she gushed about him.] He can be kind of stingy at times, but please don’t let that put you off, he’s really good at heart, I swear! Anyway, please help him feel at home, he’s feeling worse off than I did when I first got here.

[Another pause before she clears her throat.]

Oh… sorry brother, I kind of stole your thunder, please go on and introduce yourself.



“Did you really have to embarrass me with the stingy—”

[ the sound of silence for a few moments as he does a classic facepalming gesture, before adjusting the camera once more so that his tall frame isn’t cut off ]

“Anyway…”

[ a cough, before he continues ]

“I’m just as strong as the average man around here, considering several things, but… well, if you have to ask…”

[ he falls silent for a moment, because damn he hates speaking in front of so many people, and caught by surprise too! ]

“I mean, I can do some numbers and know some other stuff, but everything is like, really new to me and—”

[ a few moments go by before something sticks their head out of a pocket of his overcoat ]

“Ko—Konijn! Not now…”

[ the culprit is revealed to be a small, fluffy rabbit. ]

[ Rider smiles as the video starts. He’s less formally dressed than normal, lacking his jacket and hat and two buttons on his dark blue shirt are undone – casual mode! ]


As I’m sure we’re all aware, we’ve got a bit of a humanitarian crisis on our hands. There are a lot of people that can use help. The best way to help is money. People are more likely to give money when there’s an incentive to donate, as I’m sure most of you know – a gift or something to accompany their donation.


[ He motions to a wall calendar behind him. What’s on the calendar isn’t clear at first, but that’s not important right now. He keeps talking for now. ]


Calendars are a popular gift this time of year, perfect for the coming new year, but you need interesting subject matter – cute animals, nature photos, things like that.


[ Now he takes the calendar off the wall to reveal its subject matter. The cover shows your stereotypical wizard posed suggestively with a staff and a strategically torn robe to highlight his muscle with the title of WIZARDS GONE WILD. ]


I’m suggesting something, well, a little more suggestive. Some of you are keen on showing off your bodies publicly [ He’s not naming names, but y’all know who you are. ] so why don’t we capitalize on that?


[ He flips through the pages of the calendar, showing wizards of all genders in any number of suggestive poses and states of undress before hanging it back up. ]


Why don’t we do a cheeky little pinup calendar? Anyone of age is more than welcome to volunteer to pose for photos…and we’re probably going to need capable photographers. Given the nature of the project, there’s no pay, but I’m not going to be making any money off of this, either. All profit over the printing costs of the calendar will be given directly to refugee-organized charities.


Thank you in advance to any and all volunteers who want to have a little fun for a good cause.


[ Rider then chuckles as he puts on a charming smile. ]


And if it helps put everyone’s mind at ease, I’ll be posing for this, too.

Good day, Otherworlders. Merlin here and I decided to do an AMA because I'm currently stuck indoors, sick with this magical flu. You don't want me to go around sneezing on people, so I have to stay at home.

[He looks amused.]

... though you should have seen the donkey ears I accidentally and temporarily grew on Arthur!

[But anyway, onto the actual business, right?]

So, all questions are fair game, but I reserve the right to not answer if I feel like it. Ask me what has been burning in your mind.


Oh and happy anniversary to those who arrived around a year ago!


[ OOC NOTE: Merlin will reply to new top-level comments posted before the November 15th in order to maintain feasibility for mod replies. Threads posted 11 / 16 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. Unlike Arthur last month, Merlin is more likely to answer to troll-y posts with trolls of his own, but those may be even more short-lived. ]

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.

[Usually Ren defaults to video, but recently he's been busy so he hasn't really been looking his best so here is an audio post instead.]

Hello everyone.

This is a reminder that the Hallow's Eve concert is on October 31st! Preparations are well underway and there will be a chance to donate to charity, to help with the rebuilding efforts.

[And as an afterthought:]

Oh and I was recently given the title of Lord. So I am now Lord Ren Jinguji of Camelot. It has a nice ring to it.
