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.

[ 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.

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!)
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.
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.]
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.
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?
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. ]
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!]
[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.]
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!
[ 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?
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?
[ 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.
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?
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.
[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.]

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.]
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]
