[ This Disney princess thing seems to be going around because the camera jerks on as Mithian waves her hand about.] What---! [ There's a sort of squeak from Mithian and she seems to be batting something away from her face. Then she's lunging towards her wardrobe--] No, no! Get away from there. I said shoo-- [ Camera finally focuses on... well, birds. Little pretty birds who are trying to lift one of Mithian's heavy gowns up and bring it towards her. And failing. There are many of them but they can't seem to hold the thing up for very long before they start to lose their balance.] No, I... [ And again more sweeping gestures of her hands because there are more birds trying to mess with her hair, carrying flowers and ribbons.]

The animals have gone absolutely mad here. [ And in the background there's a chorus of birds and mice who seem to mimic what she says but in their mousey, birdy song, tweeting and squeaking.] They seem keen on dressing me.

Citizens of Asgard. I come bearing only grave news this day. What I believe to be a spy, lurking in our very midst.

[ The camera pans over to a bound and gagged individual that some may in fact recognize from the tail end of the Utgard excursion. ]

He has aroused the suspicions of many with his peculiar behavior. The natives themselves have been able to confirm he is not one of them, as he has tried claiming.

Presently, he can be found in the custody of myself and Sir Gwaine. I wish to seek the council of everyone before we reach the city proper as it is a matter which undeniably concerns the safety of us all.

But as for myself, I would vote for execution to follow his questioning. I have seen firsthand what may happen with prisoners during war. They conspire to escape and wreak further havoc, squandering mercy and endangering good men.

(ooc: edited in-character to clarify.

don't forget about the poll going on. if you've already voted but your character's opinion has been swayed in this post then simply update your vote!)

Look-- I get that Gods really don't care about if we want to do something, but could they at least pick better timing? I guess if they have one thing going for them they're not as big of jerks Roman ones. Some Gods really have it out for me. Starting to think I should have ate those Crispy Cheese 'n' Wieners when I had the chance. Take up a job at ROFL, nothing says fun like rainbows.

I mean I'll help, but this place doesn't look like it's under attack. The grey people are creepy, but I've seen weirder. They could be statues...

Anyway, great. So I'm here. Someone mind telling me where I can find a sword and a nice long bath? Something tells me I'm going to need it before this is all over.

[Uncomfortable. That's one name she could put to it. What's weirder still, is that this whole thing just seems out of place. She knows who she's fretting about, but she doesn't really know him. Isn't that weird? It should be weird. But it doesn't seem so, right about now. All she's after is, if at all preferable, for a certain knight to show up where he's supposed to be. Even if that kind of involves her calling him out. She's put it off for a while, and now? Now it's almost unbearable. She feels like she's stuck in a loop of panic and that is something she cannot stand for.]

So this should all blow over in a few days, yeah? Or ... maybe sooner. That'd be great.

Don't s'pose anyone has any knock-out drugs, do they?

[Because loathe to anyone she lets see her over video. She looks a bloody wreck. Terrible sleep the past few days, coupled with high levels of agitation during the day? Oh yeah, she looks fabulous.]

Sir Percival? Mind givin' me a ring? [Yeah, that might be .. out of nowhere.]

[Karkat had become a hermit. A real life, for all intents and purposes, hermit.

He had been in Asgard for about a month, now, and only used his bracelet maybe twice. Mostly because all his friends are assholes. But also because he was afraid to.

is this what depression feels like?

maybe it was because of the nightmares he experienced his first night he entered the city, or maybe it was because the one person he actually wanted to talk to was ignoring him. Either way he hadn't left his room much since Nepeta set his nose a few weeks ago.

He lay on the floor of his block, surrounded by disarray; there was junk everywhere, from food items he had scrounged from mid-night scurries through the empty city. He didn't want to be seen in the dining hall, so he never went, opting to find food off trees or other, probably-not-safety-board-regulated sources. He had taken the sheets off his bed and had made a little nest in the center of the room, wrapping the blankets around him so only his ocular globes poked out from behind the fabric. Underneath, he wore nothing but his boxers, because it was hot under all the blankets, but he didn't want to sacrifice the safety of his little cocoon. Other things; papers, garbage, a random hairbrush, and some movies he had 'borrowed', were strewn around as well. Not that he had a TV to watch the movies, but he liked to read the backs of them and imagine if they were shit or not. They were probably all shit, he decided, but he still hoped 'Human Landon Carter' and 'Human Jaime Sullivan' end up together after all that community service. He also wondered what community service was.

is this what depression feels like?

He was actually getting pretty skinny. He could feel his breathing sack protectors through his skin, and he could imagine the bags under his eyes were worse than ever.

He stared at his bracelet. Though he hadn't contacted anyone in a long time he was still watching. He missed his idiot bestfriends. And his idiot ex-girlfriend-matesprit-person-thing. Terezi. But he was also scared to talk to them. He had looked like such an idiot before, with plans of escape. Of course they couldn't escape. As if he would have been a good enough leader to accomplish the task, anyways.

is this what depression feels like?

Half of him wanted to talk to them. Most of him wanted to say something. But all of him was saying he couldn't possibly.

He really needed a friend, right now.

Rolling onto his stomach, he poked a hand out and grabbed the infernal device of his loathing. It was always within arms reach but always so far away.

Fumbling with hands that shook and bony fingers he typed into the interface,typing a single word and hitting enter before throwing the terrible thing across the block once again.]


HELP.

this is what depression feels like.

[ the night is dark and full of terrors and for a moment, when her bracelet turns on, you cannot see anything before until she steps beneath a lighted torch. after being gray for so many days, she looks... disheveled and confused as delicate fingers run over the bracelet a few times, recognition slowly gracing her features, her face ashen.

while she's not completely helpless, nor is she completely a delicate flower, she is certainly not used to such a journey or treatment. it's clear it's taken it's toll on her as she looks down at her bracelet and speaks, softly, voice a little rough.]


Can anyone hear me? Is there anyone there?
 
 
Red and Hope Estheim were sent home
pikachu and charzard went with Red but I have Hope's oshawott

anyone interested in adopting a baby pokemon?

[ the video feed clicks on - not to Hilda's face, but to the face of a very cute otter-like creature. it pokes curiously at the bracelet's gem, then smiles at the feed. Hilda, on the other hand, has purposefully stayed away from the camera... for reasons that she'd rather not talk about. only her voice can be heard: ]

He's really playful and sweet, but he's a big responsibility. If you think you'll need pointers or tips on how to raise it, the other Trainers and I can probably help you.

[ she sighs, her voice showing obvious tiredness.  ] Just let me know.


[ if you're passing by in the park, you might see her on the grass, leaning on her Samurott (who instisted on staying out of his ball to keep her company) and halfheartedly playing with the Oshawott in question. two of her best friends leaving has taken a toll on her, and it shows. ]
 
 
[The face on your video feed is no joke. Unlike Beato's usual demeanor - trolling - this is the genuinely angry, twisted face of a witch scorned. In fact, she is stomping around through Loki House, using her Lvl 2 Telekinesis to Break Shit. Because she is a spoiled brat like that]

Where is heeeeeeeeeeeee?! Where is Ushiromiya Battleeeeeeeer?!

If he is not found immediately, I will not rest until I have leveled this entire god-forsaken ciiiiiityyyyyyyy!

[OOC: Late to the party, but Beato has discovered her hubby is gone. If nothing is done, she'll eventually just run out of juice. In the meantime, enjoy the temper tantrum!]

What do you do when the fate of the world rests in your hands?

[Surprisingly, not anon. It's a question that's been haunting her ever since the nightmares everyone else saw from her world.

If anyone asks, she'll use Asgard's task instead of her own. Easier to deflect that way.]
 
 
26 April 2013 @ 11:18 am
[Anyone who spends any time at all with Nepeta should have noticed her absence the past day or so. She'd been just about everywhere hunting for easter eggs for a while, skipping about with two great baskets, one on each arm, and apparently throwing herself completely into this fun new game.

And then she just didn't show up any more.

Until now.]


My Pounce! Look, look everybody! It's my Pounce! She found me again!

[The feed shows a delighted Nepeta and a great white double-mouthed cat purring loudly and nuzzling all over her charge.

Yes, this is indeed why the small kittytroll hasn't been around. She's been busy cuddling her lusus, and has been for a while judging by the white hair covering her hat and coat.]


Oh, oh, this is the best day efur!

Whom do you live for, what do you live for?

[ in other words ] Why do you live?



[ and for those who don't wish to answer philosophical questions, Kaworu has another one ]

I have another question. I am currently taking care of a male adult cat, however, it seems he is rather untamed. [ actually, the cat is really mean and bites everyone for the heck of it. ] Because I never interacted with animals before arriving here, I'm not sure what to do in this situation, especially because of the way the animal acts towards the others that live inside the house.

Would anyone help me?
 
 
06 March 2013 @ 08:24 pm
[The face of a young woman appears on screen, at first confused, but once the feed cuts in all the way she smiles proudly.]

Ah, hello! I think I've gotten this figured out now. It works kind of like recording spheres, right...?

Um, anyway, now that I've got it, my name is Yuna and I'd like to tell you a quick story, if you feel like listening.

[A warm smile.]

Actually, it has to do with everyone else's stories, too. You see, everyone is connected... and just when you think you might never have something to do with someone, you're actually intertwined!

I've been fortunate to meet so many people, and hear their stories. Now their stories are in my memory, so they're a part of my own.

Do you understand? Would you like to tell me your story?

I lost my bracelet, again.

[ Tavros kneads his temples with one hand, checking the date with a little frown. Wow. He really lost his bracelet this time. Groan. ]

I'm pretty sure that, lost me, is even clumsier than regular me. Which is, really saying something. How is everyone? Did I miss, anything interesting? Uhh, and also, welcome to all of the new people, who are here now. I can answer questions, or something, that might pertain to any queries you might have, about this place.

[ Last "Halloween", it was treats, this "Valentine's Day", it's flowers. Specifically, roses. France is beaming as he aims the bracelet's camera at baskets among baskets of red roses in full bloom. ]

Mes amis, perhaps you would like a rose or two, or three, to give to people you love this Valentine's Day, oui?

Or maybe even a full bouquet?

The rose is one of France's very favorite flowers, I assure you, so everyone will be bound to love them as much as I do!

And you surely would love a magnificent Valentine's Day, oui?

There isn't much to see in the beginning. A few stray chestnut curls, the purple bodice of a dress that was probably once quite glamorous, but is now stained and dusty. This technology is all new to Aurora, and it's a minute or two before she manages to center the thing on her face. Her eyes are ringed by dark shadows that don't so much hint at her lack of sleep as they do blatantly advertise it, and her mouth is set in a thin line ]

I'll admit, the furnishings are much nicer than the last time, but a captive is a captive no matter the decor. You stand to gain very little from my presence here, but I'm sure you've already realized that

[ Because no matter what that letter says, or what she's been told, aurora is still convinced she knows exactly who's responsible for this ]

Your servant performed her role admirably. Tell me, did you pluck her heart out as easily as all the others?

[ There may be just a hint of bitternesss in her voice (Ok, more than a hint) but she can't really be blamed for that ]

In any case, I find it difficult to believe anything she said. If there's a way to bring me here, and without even the slightest warning, then surely you can send me home the same way.

Okay, I'm all for Norse mythology and stuff, but really? This isn't LARPing gone wrong or something, is it?

[Because that would suck. Also she'd kill Alice for letting her get anywhere near it. Or if this is a joke. Because then she'll resurrect the girl and kill her again. Vampire vs human status notwithstanding.]

[[ EDIT later on in the day. ]]
Since a lot of people don't know what LARPing is, it's an Acronym.

[Gwen is at a complete lost with what to do, but luckily she has Merlin beside her to help her right now. With him, she is able to figure out how to make this video. The simple thought of it was be on her wildest imagination. But here she was, making something she could have never dreamed of happen.]

Um... Hello? [And, of course, she sounded nervous.] My name is Guinevere. I’ve been told that I can talk to people through this, so I hope it’s working. Merlin has been kind enough to explain this whole place to me. Though it’s still a bit much to take in all at once, isn’t it? But I suppose I’ll have to get used to it.

[She quickly stopped herself, noticing that she was rambling. Nerves had a funny habit of doing that to her. So she was going to get herself back on track.]

From what Merlin has told me, there are others from our… world. [That was by far the most awkward thing she has ever said, and she had a feeling that things were only going to get much more bizarre.] And he told me that my Lord wished to speak with me. I'm happy to go wherever you may need me.

[She frowned, feeling so awkward about this whole thing and turned away to address Merlin.] I don't think I'm doing this right.

[And with that, the feed ends.]

[The video turns on and Will is back and in normal working condition again. His eyes narrow and he tips up his jaw a bit before letting a slight huff slip.]

Well, that could have gone better. Let's hope that my bloody bracelet stays on this time. Though I doubt anyone really noticed I was gone.

Stupid guard, why did it take so long for you to come find me?

[Will huffs again, obviously not amused at his time off.]

Anyway, nothing's changed too much, right? Merlin? Lancelot?

[He rubs at his forehead frowning.]

[The bracelet begins recording small bare feet hurriedly pacing the halls of the house where the king of Camelot (not you, Uther) and his fellow Albionites reside. The feet hurry first to the bed of Morgana, and the boy peers over it as he has made a habit of doing since the lady has departed from the house. Finding it empty he hurries next to the door of the knight Lancelot and raises his hand to knock, but after a moment hesitates and instead bends down to try and see if there is light at the crack below the door or some semblance of the movement of feet. He cannot tell.  

Lastly he finds himself before the door to Arthur and Merlin's room and for a long moment he stares at it, frowning, but alas he does not even kneel to check for the light or the movement of feet. The king of Camelot would not have time for such things.

Quietly he paces away and goes to sit outside on the step. Only then can it be seen that he holds a crude toy bird in each hand, messily stitched together by himself as his people had taught him. 

Not knowing that he's been recorded, he decides to send a text]
