[He had been quiet for a while busy with work and the guild. However that nightmare put everything he was progressing on, slow to a standstill. It was something he hadn't dealt on in awhile. It wasn't the sort of thing he could put behind himself at the moment though.]

...What would you do, if you were forced to start over from to a certain point in your life? [He questioned softly,his voice oddly devoid of emotion.]

What if you had to watch everything you've done and all those you've met fade away like smoke? Would you able to live knowing that everything you have ever known is gone and it may never come back?

[He stops after that last question, turning towards his window and gazing up at the sky. ]

[The video shows a thoughtful looking silver-haired boy, who seems to be staring in a mirror on the wall.]

I don't understand... What's so strange about my hair color?

[Well Bianca, this time you made this poor bookworm stare at his own reflection for a really long time, trying to figure out what is so strange about white hair. It looks perfectly natural to him!

Ruca blinks and just now remembers that he wanted to say something. That mirror distracted him...]


Ah, I-I'm sorry! That wasn't what I wanted to say... [awkward smile.] I only wanted to ask if there are any good books anyone could recommend...

[Nothing else than that.]

[Rue's oddly thoughtful when she decides to use the bracelet again, though the serious image is probably ruined by the clumps of dough drying in her hair and the light coating of flour she seems to have acquired. Behind her, several piles of blackened or misshapen bread cover the kitchen counter.]

Do people always name things they create after themselves? What if I make something new but want to name it something else? I don't think "Rue bread" sounds very good.

[She frowns down at the floor, then remembers she had a reason for sending this out.]

One of the bakers here said there's something called pita bread. That means it's Peeta's, right? I want to make it for him when he comes back. [Rue smiles, looking very pleased about this.] But I'm not getting it right...

[Rue tugs on a strand of curly hair.] Can somebody help me?

Man... I really gotta keep tabs on this thing.

[ the feed turns on to Hilda muttering to herself and holding her head in one hand. she seems to be in some kind of pain - enough to momentarily distract her from the fact that she's recording. but once she brings her gaze back to the screen, she manages a smile. ] Hey, everyone. Miss me?

I guess I kind of dropped off the face of the earth for a little while there. Sorry. [ a chuckle. ] I've never lost my bracelet up until now, so this is kind of new to me. If anyone has a remedy for a splitting headache, could you let me know? My healing's kinda weak right now.

Oh! [ she's remembered something, and it's enough to make her perk up! ] About Poketopia... We've sort of lost some of our workers over the past few weeks. That means we're a little short-staffed, and we could reeeeeally use some more help! We'll be holding a sale in the next few days, so you should come and check us out if you're interested in getting a job at a cafe! You won't regret it, promise.

[ PRIVATE to Pokemon Trainers ]

The house is totally empty! Where'd you guys go?

[ PRIVATE to Hope Estheim ]

So... How's the egg doing?

[ O'Brien's been lucky enough that nobody's he's ever known all too well has left, despite having been here a good amount of time. So he's never really had to make a post opening like this before- but he really figures he should, despite how unfortunate the whole thing is. Or fortunate. It all depends on how this turns out- can't make a full analysis of a situation without knowing more details, after all. ]

Jasmine has left the city. It looks like her Pokemon have gone with her, but anyone who's more familiar with them and where she was staying should check if they haven't already.

I haven't been able to find Hilda either, if anyone is looking for her. But it doesn't look like she's been sent back to her world.
[ Which is just as troubling. She's not the type to get herself in a situation like...the last time again, is she? And would the gods do that again after what happened the last time, on top of that? She could've just lost her bracelet, but...hm. ]

We're still looking for volunteers to help us create more emergency kits at the hospital. We're looking to have some put in more areas around each district now, in case we get attacked again on the same scale as last time. And we need people with Drawing Life to create supplies. Talk to me or Conan if you want to help.

[ filtered to Uther Pendragon / [personal profile] foodshortage ]
It's O'Brien. Conan said you wanted to talk to me.

[The feed starts off with a blue-eyed lion cub wearing a silly lion grin. There is snow in his mane and all over his furry little body. For someone who's usually human, Sora is rather unperturbed about being an animal.]

This is great! This snow is perfect for snowmen and snowball fights. Hmm...

[He paws at the snow and gathers a clump perfectly sized for his paws. Packing it into a ball proves more difficult. Disappointed, he drops his almost-snowball.]

I guess I need hands... Hey, someone should come out and help me make a snowman! We'll make the biggest snowman anyone's ever seen.

[Sora shakes off snow and sneezes, then looks thoughtfully at the bracelet.]

But since it's cold and snowing, does that mean it's close to Christmas? Does this world have Christmas? I hope Santa knows I'm here. I've been really good this year, too...

That saying, what was it again..? Here goes nothing? Yes, indeed, that seems fitting.

( Just words at first, but this is an actual video feed. Give Ja'far a few seconds to right the angle of his bracelet. )

I feel obliged to apologise, but I don't see any other way to deal with this current-- dilemma. I have a favour to ask of everyone, so I require everyone to bear with me for a moment.

I currently find myself without any memories of the past few - weeks. There appear to have been changes during that time and I would be grateful if someone would inform me about the current situation. It is troubling that this place will not be ruled by order..( he's clearly getting distracted by something in his head here. OCD and Asgard don't seem to mix all that well for some reason, one wonders why? )
Regardless, I will do my best to repay whoever will be kind enough to share their knowledge with me. It is best to start these things on even ground.

I honestly wish that this was the last curse I will have to face in this place. I have enough apologies to make as it is.

( and there is a bit more mumbling, but the feed ends. Saying goodbye is not a skill everyone has )

[OOC; so basically this is me emerging from my no-computer hiatus!! Ja'far has been cursed and then lost his bracelet, so the poor chap seriously has no idea about anything that has happened during the past two months '-' feel free to pull his leg, or make fun of him for being a fail!secretary~]

[When the audio comes on, there is a sigh and the soft "A" being hit on the piano. It happens a few more times. Before Ranka tries to speak. Her voice sounds upbeat, but for those that know her the past few days have been hard.]

I just thought I'd let everyone know Alto's gone.

[After a few moments of silence she finally speaks again.]

Also, I was going to cook something like a holiday dinner. So I was wondering if anyone wanted to come over? It would be terrible to be alone right now, right?

[Draco Malfoy has absolutely no reason to be outside right now. His hands are both still cut up pretty badly, he's fighting off a cold, and to top things off…

…well. He lost Jade Harley. Sort of. Jade sort of lost herself by leaving her bracelet on his bathroom counter. So today Draco's out and flying around the city of Asgard, Jade's bracelet in his pocket and bundled up against the cold. It's only when he's outside of his room that he really notices all of the lights going off in the city, twinkling against the darkness. He stops long enough to examine a few displays of light, raising an eyebrow.

It really must be close to Christmas then. Fantastic. Just one more thing to remind him of things he doesn't want to think about. Christmas reminds him of home, and lights remind him of a certain girl with long blond hair that he can't seem to stop thinking about. Ridiculous. After a few hours of flying back and forth hoping for some sign of Jade, anything that might indicate she's around, he gives up and lands to head into the Great Library if only for a distraction and maybe to pick up a few books to help with his current research for potions.

…and thus he finds himself curled up in a chair fifteen minutes later, trying to warm up and staring at a book in his hands. It's a small book, worn out and old in appearance. It's also a book he most certainly wasn't expecting to find here in Asgard, but then again it made sense. Why wouldn't the gods pull things from their own worlds to entertain them? When he turns on the bracelet's video feed, he's casually flipping through the book, reading and mumbling to himself. He's holding the book gingerly as though it's hard to bend his hands around it, but his eyes are narrowed in concentration.]


Babbity Rabbitty will never not be a strange name, and that's saying something [Flip. Flip. Flip.]

Granted, this shouldn't be a surprise. [And he looks up then, facing the camera.]

Here's a new question for anyone awake, something a bit lighter than the last. [Which he's still pondering on, thank you. His wall of notes may be folded up and in a box under his bed, but he still references them quite a bit.]

With the lights all around the city and with the discovery of this book--[He lifts it up, revealing the title to be the Tales of Beedle the Bard]--do you believe that something as simplistic as a fairy tale can actually have some truth behind it? Or, in other words, what determines if they're made up or if they're based on real people and real events?

And before anyone asks, no, there's no motive behind this question. Just genuine curiosity. [Which as we all know is the biggest lie of them all.]

[ "christmas" would be coming up around this time, wouldn't it? which brings up some curiosity. plus, it seems better to focus on good and happier moments than what's been going on as of recently.]

I was thinking, we're all from different worlds so.. that could mean celebrations and holidays could be different for each of us. So I wanted to ask, what was your tradition for the holidays? Christmas, for example. Or any holiday if you don't celebrate it.

My region we hear of talks of presents being delivered on a sleigh of Sawsbuck. Which.. I guess would be the equivalent to the "reindeer" animal. But I also heard that in other regions of my world they say Delibirds help deliver presents. Which.. [hold on, let him.. there! a drawing that closely resembles that.] is this Pokemon.

So are there any special traditions you do or have heard of for the holidays? [some cities do festivals and stuff, so hey who knows. maybe some people build snow Beartics or nail shields to their house.]

Hey. We should talk!

You around?

[Lucas has been experimenting with some different baking techniques it seems. When the video comes on he isn't wearing that signature hat of his, and even his face is smeared with what seems like flour or dough. He has a wooden spoon in his hand that he waves around from time to time as he talks.]

Is anyone here really good at baking? I've been experimenting with different ways of making poffins, ones that look exactly like certain Pokemon to be exact.

[He reaches to grab one and shows it to the camera. Uwah it resembles a Shinx!]

Well? What do you think? Is it too much?

( text; )

For anyone living in the housing, would they care for a garden? Or have their garden taken care of? As a Growth user it feels better to put it to use.


( action; )

[it doesn't matter what the district, but anywhere this teen is walking along with a few small baskets held over his arms holding little bouquet of flowers. not alone either, trailing at his side is a large ten foot long grass snake with a bouquet held in her mouth, and a few baskets held on the end of her tail. even the manner she's carrying them speaks of royalty, funny enough!

what is he doing? well, passing out free bouquet of flowers! someone went overboard on tending his own housing garden... there's way too many flowers.

there's a high possibility the royal grass snake will be approaching you with a bouquet of flowers in mouth to hand over too.]

[He's still so new here and still trying to get used to this place, but... What was that about war he keeps hearing? It definitely isn't anything good and considering that right now he can't even protect himself, much less anyone else it just isn't good at all.

He sighs a little, before speaking up. Timidly.]


Um, hello. I-I hope I am not bothering anyone, but... I was thinking if maybe someone could possibly teach me sword fighting? If it's not a problem of course...

[More like he only needs to relearn how to fight, but looking at him it's probably hard to believe he's ever even seen a real sword, much less fought with one. To be honest, he doesn't want to fight, but even more than that he doesn't want to be useless when something bad happens.]

I'll probably need a new sword, too...

[His broadsword is currently too heavy for him since Asura's power is gone...]

A | VIDEO, DAY 160

[ Alisa opens the feed with a face devoid of emotion. ]

Good afternoon.

All functions except user interface, data storage and retrieval are inaccessible at the moment. Cause of inaccessibility is currently unknown. Earlier attempted troubleshooting resulted in failure. May I request for a check-up?

Thank you.

B | ACTION, DAY 161

[ LOOKING FOR A JOB!!! Alisa is going from shop to shop, begging people to take her in while holding their "wanted" flyers. However, she's always causing trouble, such as accidentally freaking people out with her head, her head falling off, hitting equipment too strongly with her metal arms and legs... People will often find doors closing on Alisa quite literally. ]

I apologize, it will never happen again--

[ Bam. ]

C | VIDEO, DAY 161

[ Afraid of rejection, she looks a little meek when she asks this. ]

To whom must I speak to regarding the city's militia? I would like to assist in the upcoming war. I, too, can fight.
 
 
17 October 2012 @ 10:49 pm
So, here's a question for anyone who might know the answer: What happens when all this is over? Let's pretend we win, and we're actually sent home - do we get dropped oh so conveniently back in the same spot considering we were so inconveniently taken, or do things change?

Since we've kind of done the world a favor in the end, I feel like we could ask for a favor in return, right?
 
 
15 October 2012 @ 05:38 pm
[Alastair's finally sort of figured out the bracelet thing. He's looking tired, a little frantic, and just pretty lost in general... he still hasn't really gotten a grip on what's going on.]

Uh... Hi. I'm Alastair.

[What is he even doing this is so stupid. He sighs and runs his hands through his hair nervously.]

Okay so I just got here, and I've already been looking around but I just wanted to ask. Has anyone seen my sister? She's a couple years older than me, long black hair, usually wears a blindfold but she's got some... what looks like tattoos around her eyes. Her name's Danaya and... [his brow furrows for a moment like he's thinking one thing but saying another.] ...well I haven't seen her yet.

[He's silent for a moment. He's getting angry and upset again but he shakes his head and smiles insincerely.]

Thanks.
 
 
 
12 October 2012 @ 02:30 pm
[Rather than a text or a video post, this time you only hear her voice, but it's not to extend cheerful greetings. She sounds a little strained, and it's impossible to miss the blatant worry in her tone.]

I'm not sure if anyone has heard yet, but... It seems like Salander-san isn't here anymore. I tried messaging her, but she hasn't replied to anything I ask.

And, um... If she is still here, if anyone knows where she is, if you could contact me with information to let me know, I would appreciate it very much. Could you just call me, or send letters, or anything? It would be okay at any time of the day, even at night!

[She lapses off into silence for a while, almost a full minute, but it seems she has nothing else to say.]

...Thank you.
