Dàjiāhǎo. I know there have been a couple of these already but, I just wanted to make sure that everyone was okay. {Her eyebrows furrow and really, between the mirror thing and now with the earthquakes? It's all a bit much. She sighs.]

But regardless, it seems this city keeps bringing in newcomers. So to those of you who are new, huānyíng,, ah, welcome.

River, darling? Xīwàng rú cǐ.. [She really needs to get them a house so she can keep an eye on her young friend.]

[She reaches up, rubbing her forehead. She's tired and would actually like a break from all the city's craziness. But first, just a few more people to check in on.]

Alice? Jamie? Doc- Eleven? I am praying you are well also. [It looks like she might want to say more but for now, she's just going to leave it at that.]

((OOC: hover over the Chinese for translations.))

This post is addressed to those of you who were within the other world with me.

[And it's later than he wanted it to be, but the death had taken its' toll on him, and besides, there had been a great deal to consider. A very real, very loud part of him had wanted not to have to do this. To forget it all, to put the last six years of hell utterly behind him. However, he feels responsible;]

I've been here a few months, but I see now that I've been complacent. When I arrived, like the rest of you I found that my powers were gone. For me, that was a relief.

I don't remember hurting any of you down there, but my memories during a transformation aren't always the clearest. If any of you recall the green... thing, or were harmed by it in any way, please let me know. I'd like to make reparations in any way I can.

To the rest of you, whatever keeps the transformations from occurring is working again now that I'm... I suppose you could say up on the surface, or returned to this specific dimensional point. But since it's clear I can't rely on that to be true all the time, I think I have a duty to warn you. In the right conditions I'm a bomb waiting to go off, and in the event that something like this happens again, I'm probably going to be getting as far away from the you all as possible. Please don't come near me if you see me, and please don't try to stop me.

I'm sorry.

[With a small, composed smile, he disconnects the feed.]

[ At first Jesse was about to do a video post, but chickened out at the last minute. He really doesn't feel all that comfortable showing off his face on a strange world in a stranger network.

Too bad he didn't think to post this anonymously. ]



hi i'm Jesse. i read that letter the bracelet showed me. does this mean we are going to be therapists? i don't know how that works, i don't even have a sofa for people to lie in and talk about their problems.

[ He hopes not that's not the case. He can barely handle his own sense of self, let alone everyone else. ]

i'm in house freyr. i went there. i like the slide there. are there any places that have something like that? with slides i mean not the god houses.

[A pale, worried face shows up on the screen. The young woman dressed in plain, grey clothes is sitting in her new room in the house of Hel and there’s nothing about it, she’s looking miserable. Close to tears, actually.]

Excuse me? Miss… ah, Miss Hel, madam? Or whoever else is listening? I’m very sorry to bother you and I don’t mean any disrespect, but someone has made a terrible mistake.

[She lowers her eyes and fiddles with the bracelet for a while.] I was told that I’m supposed to help save this world and fight a war, but I know nothing about saving anyone. I’m not even much of a witch and now I’m not a witch at all anymore. I reckon you’ve mistaken me for someone else.

Please, I would like to go back now if you don’t mind. Not that it isn’t flattering, it is! I feel very honoured. But… [She heaves a defeated sigh as she tucks a strand of lank hair behind her ear.] I can’t help you.

[To the casual observer, it’s pretty simple. One absolutely gorgeous looking girl, and a super adorable little girl setting up a stall in the aftermath of another harrowing event.

There’s a large barrel, and an array of cloths and oils needed to be able to properly clean up an array of metals. Not that either of them really know what they’re doing.

In reality, although it might not be so obvious - Naruto has gone to great lengths to pull this prank. His hair is red, he’s wearing a dress. Aladdin however, dyed his hair purple, putting on a cute blouse and skirt.

They’ve both spent time addressing a need for makeup to try for something convincing, and for added authenticity, they’ve used one of Aladdin’s runes to change their voices, too. It’s all part of an elaborate plan.

Swords cleaned for free! That’s what the sign says.]

Free sword cleanin’ service! One day only!

We'll make your swords gleam like never before!

For Free!. Y’hear?

This is just a present to all our beloved travelers that are fighting the good fight!

So come on over for a good cleaning!

[ooc: Just so you know, anyone who has their sword cleaned will actually be letting themselves in for a surprise. Aladdin and Naruto will both be applying a rune to any swords that pass their stall. That rune will make it sparkle every time it’s used. =D. It will not activate until the next day~]
