 So I'm curious--how many of you are stuck here without the love of your life?

I'm sure you miss them a lot if you're in that position, so how are you dealing with it?

[He lets out a long, overdramatic sigh.]

...I'm personally going crazy over here!

[Guess, who's back? Silver hair, amber eyes and is that a woman?]

Hello there, my lucky audience~

[Some of you might remember this person. Ayame has clearly earned himself a reputation already and sadly the fact that he’s wearing a dress right now doesn’t help that rep. Yes ladies, be envious that he might just have better legs than some of you out there.]

So I really have to say that fashion is lacking in this place. All these gods are babbling about stuff but honestly have they even looked at themselves?

[He sighs dramatically.]

I swear this only makes this place even more depressing.

THANKFULLY, I am here my dear people. This creation that I’m wearing is my own and I believe there are probably more of you out there that can appreciate my beauty and my talents!

[Now he’s posing and turning around, making sure that everyone can see every inch of what he’s wearing. Oh yes, behold the masterpiece that he calls himself and sadly he looks good in the dress. It should be questioned if he’s truly male to begin with.

However that can wait because he’s once again staring at the screen and he’s determined…very determined.]


FASHION IS PASSION!

My passion is endless.

It’s like a volcano burning in the scorching depths of hell. HOT and dripping with intense emotions that will heat up even the coldest of souls.

Let these magic and holy hands touch all of you. I will peel away that boredom that has encased you and make you be reborn again!

[And his voice is getting louder with each word. Loud and resolute, he’s not going to give up.]

We need to start a revolution! A fashion revolution!

Who’s with me?!

[...and then he's quiet again. Only he's offering almost a teasing look at the screen.]

Oh does anyone want to go out with me tonight? It feels like a shame not to show off this dress~ Think of me as your own personal arm candy my sweet girls and boys.

[Fluttershy cues up the bracelet feed out in the Sigyn courtyard. She's sitting in a small patch of grayish flowers with her rabbit, who is flopped over on his side looking like he doesn't want to be here. She, however, is smiling and wearing a lovely new dress!]

Everypony, I would like for you all to meet a very special friend of mine. He arrived a few weeks ago, but I never really had the chance to introduce him properly!

[She scoops up the white bunny and holds him up to the screen!]

This is Angel. He is the cutesy bunny in all of Ponyville! [She smooshes him to her face... and then corrects herself.] Well, all of the bunnies are cute but Angel is just my favorite... I wouldn't any of them to feel bad.

Anyway, I'm sure that he would be delighted to meet all of you here in Asgard. Wouldn't you, Angel?

[... Angel wants none of this and kicks his way right out of her arms and into his patch of weird gray flowers.]

Um--

[Her eyes widen and she bites her lip.]

I'm sure that he's just kind of cranky. He hasn't had his favorite salad since he came here and...

[SUDDENLY]

Would anypony be interested in having a picnic with Angel and I? We were going to have one by ourselves in celebration of me getting a job...! And I know that I would love to have everypony join with us.

[She smiles sweetly and waves to the holofeed.]

Let us know, please.

[The bracelet doesn't start recording as a complete accident, but it does turn on sooner than its wearer intends. Yuri is clearly addressing someone out of view, his usually polite mask fractured by an expression best described as troubled, but not without some measure of anger. His voice, too, is pained in tone.]

I've told you time and time again to leave. I won't listen to anything you have to say. No. It's decided. I'll do what I must. Why should it be any different here? Now go!

[There's no audible or visible reply, but a moment later, Yuri relaxes. He takes a moment to compose himself, fixing a small smile on his face.]

The unjust always show themselves at last. Their words and deeds betray them. Perhaps there is nothing we can do but bear witness, yet I will not hesitate to do so, nor to say that those who have brought us here have wronged us, regardless of their nature.

That said, following recent events, I felt I should make a gesture to the community as a whole. Those of you who come to the Hrafn Tea Room may have a tea of your choice, free of charge. We're located down the street from the library; look for the raven signboard.

A small gesture, but perhaps it will bring you some warmth. Those of a certain mindset may also find suitable conversation partners, or a sympathetic ear. [By which he means those who care for justice.]

[[ooc: Whether your character responds to this post or not, they are welcome to show up at the Tea Room Log.]]

[When Hatori broadcasts, it's from his desk this time. Around him there are large piles of books, one overturned in front of him. His fingers tap against the spine, and his lips purse a little more.]

I've been thinking about my place in this community. It seems that there isn't a real call for my profession with healers around, so this means I have free time to pursue other interests.

Besides reading, is there anything that's worth noting about this place?

[After he asks that, he sighs and picks up his book, opening the cover as he turns a page.]

I'm sure that there will be all sorts of answers. I'm looking forward to it.

[After that the post is turned private.]

Private to Tohru and the Sohma Family Members )

A-ahhh.... Hello? Good day, this is Tohru Honda. [She sounds highly nervous and uncertain of what she's doing, talking to this machine like it's a phone. It's just a screen. So advanced! And DVDs had surprised her; this was even beyond that! All the same, she smiles brightly.] This is almost like being a secret agent with a secret device I'm speaking into. Like contacting headquarters!

[But, sadly, the reality isn't as glamorous, and she gets right back to the matter at hand.]

I was told by the kind woman that I could get more information this way. It would be very appreciated if someone has the time.... If not, that's alright! I can probably read around and listen for what others say.

The letter she gave me said I was - [she's still stunned by this!] brought here to restore color. To help. To flourish.

I'm uncertain how much help I can be with that, but I will try my best, if you will have me. And if you will, I am more than happy to give my all here. I am very honored.

[She tries to, and thinks that she did, shut the feed off. The screen is still there, no longer floating but fixed in place, however - she's looking through the names listed - it's just switched to voice as Tohru didn't quite push the right button in her nervousness. This sort of technology is very new to her.]

I left without being able to tell anyone. And Uo-chan and Hana-chan. What will they think when I turn up missing? I can't turn away if this place needs help. I wish I had been able to tell them....

And Kyo-kun. [She trails off there, any further thoughts being so personal she won't even mutter them out loud.]

I should go look for where I need to stay.
[Feed shuts off.]

[Just to turn on again five minutes later. Tohru is looking up at the sky - with owls everywhere - in awe.]
Look at all the birds! [No, it doesn't occur to her they shouldn't be out during the day.] So pretty.... I'm not used to seeing so many at once!

[Yes, she just had to tell you that. Now it's off. For good this time, really.]

[There's a new face outside Heimdall's Welcome Hall. It's a confused face. It's also a concerned face. But it's also a face that would normally be friendly and open, so it seems to be having an identity crisis at the moment.

Keith Goodman, to whom the face belongs, wonders for a moment if his city, the city of Sternbild, has a patron god. Or gods. Then he discards that idea, since he would have known about anything like that. At the moment, he feels uncertain about things in general, but it would be hard not to be. On his own in a strange place, wearing his suit and gear (none of which works), and toting his helmet under his arm, he hardly feels like Sky High. Which, since he knows he can't manipulate so much as a light breeze, he guesses he isn't. At least for now.

Thinking of "for now", he makes a metal note to find out more about the power he does have. The sooner he's able to figure out his place in all this and start doing something about getting back to Sternbild, the better. After all, there's a manhunt underway for a dangerous NEXT, and his friends and fellow Heroes need him. Keith Goodman, formerly Sky High, wonders just how long it takes to "bring life to the world".

But, confused or not, a little disheartened or not, and duty bound or not, Keith Goodman knows how to follow instructions. He can see that he's arrived at the destination on the map he was given, and he can see that the bracelet device is working properly. If there is one thing he doesn't need instructions for, it's making an introduction. A script would be nice, but he couldn't find anything to write with. Determined to do the best he can, Keith pushes his bangs back out of his eyes, squares his shoulders, and addresses the holographic screen with a smile.]


Hello-- to whoever can see and hear me! I'm Keith. Keith Goodman. I guess it's okay to say that I'm a Hero from Sternbild, since my identity doesn't seem to matter here. I didn't see the point in wearing my helmet anymore. It doesn't work and it's pretty hot in there. so I hope that's all right!

[There's a brief pause, as if Keith were trying to remember his lines.]

Normally, I really like meeting new people, even if it's a surprise. I haven't met anyone yet, but I hope to meet you very soon. I'll do my best to be a good member of the group. I'm sure that with good teamwork, we can do whatever it is that needs to be done!

I know that being brought here must be inconvenient for everyone, so I'll try not to complain. Though I wouldn't mind hearing how others are handling it, of course! I was wondering, though, is there anyone else here who was in the middle of something really important at home? Something you were needed for?

[Realizing he's deviated from his "script", Keith shakes his head as if trying to clear it of worries. He smiles.]

I don't think I've been assigned any quarters yet, but in the meantime, I'm where I'm supposed to be. At least according to the map, I am.

Well, I'd like to say thank you for hearing me out! So, thank you!
[Somehow Keith manages to hold onto his helmet while flipping the screen a salute.]

[The feed turns on and Kisa sits quietly on her bed as she smiles. Finally she thinks she is getting the hang of using this thing and it's a good thing with what she wants to ask her family. Taking a small breath she tries to gather what she wants to ask.]

Um...I think I got it to do the right thing...

So...I was just wondering...are we going to do something for...new years?

[She felt odd asking but she would feel even weirder if they didn't...plus she was still a little nervous Akito would arrive and see they didn't have a banquet.]

I just didn't know if we were going to or not.

[Enma stares at the bracelet for a good, long while. He looks uncertain, tense, nervous, like he's trying to muster up the will to say something but hasn't come up with much yet. You wouldn't be able to tell from the way he absently fidgets with the cuffs of his jacket and picks at a bandage on the back of his hand, but he's been doing a lot of thinking lately. He's been here for three weeks, knows he needs to get home, knows he has things to do, and he can't shake the feeling of complete helplessness. He hates it. Can't bear it, and underneath all the nervous energy is frustration and anger that just needs a bit more agitation before it boils over.

He wants to ask if anyone's gone home yet, or has thought of a way to leave, or has figured out more about what the gods want from them, but instead all he manages to say is:]


Wonder if they'll let us leave if we just paint the walls for them....

[It takes a short moment for him to get the sense that what he just said was insufferably dumb, and he nervously claps one hand over his face, slaps at his bracelet, and switches the feed off]

[The device clicks on though the image does not immediately show the user. After a few moments of movement Kisa appears, her eyes a little puffy. To anyone it's clear she had been cry but since calmed herself enough to speak. Though she seems to still be trying to form her words more clearly. Taking a few breaths she timidly looks at the device, still not entirely sure what to do with it.]

...why was I brought here?

[She pauses looking at the floor.]

I can't fight or help this world...I just want to be with my family and Onee-chan.

[As the words left her she becomes a little more distressed. Being in a separate house is not something she wants in anyway.]

Can I just stay with them?

[Last words being more a whisper before she clicks off the device.]



((ooc: Just because I didn't mention Kisa is in Sigyn house.))
