[It’s been a while but here the little magi, a freaked out little magi by the looks of things. Early on he had be searching everywhere trying to find something. It was finally time to admit that yes, he done goofed. ]

Sorry to take up your time everyone but I’m missing a few traveling chests, two large ones and around....20 smaller ones. I’m not sure where they’ve wandered off to. Uh…if anyone finds one of them, can you please return to them to the Freyr’s welcome hall.

They shouldn’t be dangerous or anything and at the very least they might try to bite.[Isn't that reassuring] Oh and if you’re missing any personal belongings because of them. Do not worry, I should be able return them.

I don’t have much time to expl--- WAIT NO NOT UJINN!!

[Aladdin suddenly cuts himself off, diving to try to grab something off screen and the video abruptly shuts off. Anyone in Freyr welcome hall right now can probably spot him chasing after a...hope chest with six legs.]

((Aladdin has finally discovered the last effects of his traveling chest array which is going to be renamed With Legs later. I’m leaving what the chests look like up to you guys. Here are some examples you can use. The chests will be wandering around the city, they might find themselves in other people rooms, and all that jazz. ))

[The feed opens abruptly to Ven who looks like he just woke up, hair and clothes messy still from being in bed so long, but looking absolutely horrified. And the first thing he asks upon opening the feed is--]

H-how long was I out of it?

[ooc: canon updated him a little so he was asleep for almost two weeks.]

[Normally when a person connects to Asgard's network, they greet villagers with a view of their face. However, this particular new Traveller is busy showing the city…snow. In particular, the fresh snow and frost that graced the city just two days prior to his arrival. Lots of snow, because this particular new Traveller just tried to fly and promptly fell into the snow instead. There's a frustrated sound from Jack Frost as he stands up, bracelet turning to face the snow again. Good thing nobody saw that. He's not really thinking about whether anyone can hear or see him though. The whole "being seen and believed in" thing? Still sort of hit and miss with this guy, and he's working under the assumption that most people still can't. However he's very much visible to anyone looking. They'll see a white-haired boy covered in snow and walking through the city like it's no big deal. Oh yeah, and without shoes. He's still not showing his face to the bracelet for the network to see, but he's soon speaking up to talk his way through the situation.]

Uh huh. So the fate of all existence rests within my hands. Thaaat sounds kind of familiar. [Speaking of hands, one of his hands soon appears as he bends down while walking, scooping up some snow to form a snowball.]

What I want to know is who beat me to it. [That snowball starts getting tossed up and down.] Because this? This isn't my work. [The snowball stops getting tossed and he brings it up, presumably, to his mouth to try and work some magic on it. No such luck though. He immediately stops in his path, giving the snowball a curious look.

Okay, well, how about we make it snow? …no luck? What about fros--okay, no luck there either.]

You gotta be kidding me. I mean I get it, I have a new power. [In fact, he's going to test the strength of his new power, using his mind to create snowballs without his hand and allow them to float and hover around him.] …which is kind of cool, I guess. I get that supposedly old powers won't work, but how am I supposed to be a Guardian if I can't even make the snow come?

[Aw well…even if he can't make new snow, there's no sense wasting the snowball that's in his hand. So what's Jack going to do? He's going to take a look around…and that snowball's suddenly getting launched…who knows where. If another traveller's nearby, it might just hit them. Totally on accident. Really. Oh come on, he's still working under the assumption that most people can't see him. Someone missed the memo that when they say everything's been stripped, they mean everything. So assuming that there's no harm done here, he'll just start to walk off with his telekinetically-created snowballs drifting behind him like baby ducks following their mother.]

[ the bracelet hadn't been that hard for him to figure out - in fact it was a nifty little piece of technology, though there wasn't something quite like it where he came from. Of the options he figures voice is the best way to go for the very first one, if he's going to be broadcasting it, after all. No reason to show everyone his face right away.

He's leaning up against the side of Freya's welcome hall, arms somewhat crossed as he records the message. ]

So I see we have ourselves a little war going on. You know, this place isn't the only world with problems. Some of us were in the middle of doing something important. Enemies to vanquish, friends to rescue, stuff like that. But I guess that doesn't matter to certain parties.

Anyway, since we're stuck here, I guess I do have one question: where's the best ice cream in this dull place? I told a friend I owe him some.


[ ooc: feel free to run into him in Freya or respond! ]
[ edit: Lea's conversation with ??? is FILTERED for the record ]

[TEXT TO ALL OF ASGARD.]

so i've spent the last couple of hours wandering around, and i've only seen a few faces i know. i'd like to know who some of you other guys/gals are?

i'm john, for starters.

[ACTION FOR THOSE IN / AROUND THE AREA OF LOKI.]

[If you're lucky enough to be around the area of the Loki district, John will be hanging around one of the areas in the district. He wants to meet everyone here too. So he's actively searching for people who actually have faces.

Anonymous faces are getting pretty old by now.]



ooc: if you would rather me not use the text font above, here is a handy link for you to tell me!

[Hey look, it's some guy you haven't seen in a while! When the feed switches on, he looks a little out of it, like he just woke up, but after that his form turns into a frown upon realizing holy shit it's been like what, weeks?]

... looks like I've been out of it for a while. I lost my bracelet. Is everyone okay? What's going on?

[God, he hates being out of the loop.]

Has anyone of you managed to figure out how this whole 'bringing life to the world' business works? [Because honestly, Mr. Beefcake over here has no freaking clue even after a few days of exploring his district on his own.] Or do the gods listen and tell us what we're supposed to do?

[He can only hope his friends aren't stuck here like him.] Also, are there people named Aqua and Ventus here? We come from the same world.

[He'd have ended it right there but oh right. Introductions are in order so people know who to mention if Ven and Aqua are indeed around.]

My name is Terra by the way, and I'm in something called Freya. I'm not sure about why I'm in this particular place either, but I intend on finding out.

I am super sorry, guys! I know I asked everyone a bunch of questions just a few days ago, but I forgot something!

[ She leans down, fumbling for something beneath her desk, and then -

Jade thrusts some sort of makeshift book right up to the bracelet's camera with this drawn on the cover: ]



I'm making a comic book for Roxas! Staring Griddlebone, the roguish yet charming Squiddle pirate with a heart of gold. Critique welcome! And if anyone knows where to find actual comic books, I'd appreciate it. I just don't think I'm cut out for this business!

[ When the feed starts today it'll be a view of someone holding a bunch of playing cards in their hands. There's nothing particularly special about them; they're all mixed and out of order, and as whoever's holding them rifles through them every so often they'll come across a heart card and they'll pull it out, making a nice little pile off to the side. About half the suit has already been removed and deposited safely at their side.

They'll keep rifling through the deck slowly and carefully, but eventually a card will slip out and in their attempt to catch it they'll...basically drop the rest of the deck by accident.

As is turns out? This person is obviously sitting on some edge of a building because the camera catches the sight of about 46 playing cards fluttering and flying about as they fall down about five stories to the street below. ]

Ah....!

[ HIS PLAYING CARDS )8 they're everywheeeeeereeeeeee and after he worked so hard to get up here in the first place aren't you proud kaito, he figured out fire escapes ]


[ ooc; feel free to respond over the network or in person *A* OR TO HAVE PLAYING CARDS LAND ON YOU. ]

[There's only so long Euri can stay cooped up in her room before she starts getting antsy. But she's torn between superstition about large amounts of water and the urge to go wander around outside, maybe even past the gate. She's made short trips, but there was no dilly-dallying with those.

Eventually she makes the decision to go out. It's been a few days with no incidents mentioned over the bracelets, surely the water is nothing to worry about.

About an hour later she's finding herself standing on a bench, eying the water with more suspicion and caution than one would expect. Her tone is no different.]

So....

No one's seen anything in the water, right? No fish or turtles or - anything bigger?

[Namely, something about human-sized but on the fishy side.]

I'm just checking! I know the water isn't that deep, but it can't hurt to be sure.

[And it would be nice to know she's just being paranoid about that dark shape she thought she saw several feet away.]

[The feed cuts open to a view of the city, submerged in a feet of water.

And Ven's feet submerged in the water.]

Man, where is all this water coming from?

[He pans the camera up to himself, and his shoes are slung over his shoulder.]

Anyway, has anyone heard from Aqua? She's from Odin, and she's one of my best friends. Blue hair, slightly older and taller than me? I've been trying to get in touch with her but she's not responding.

If you saw or heard from her recently, please tell me.

[He turns it off. Anyone unfortunate enough to be waddling in the flood waters around the city would probably catch him waddling around himself, looking for his best friend. He knows he can check the list, but he's kind of scared to.]

[The feed opens to a boy about ten years of age. Anyone who knows him (or Roxas) would notice him younger than his usual self. He's frowning (pouting, actually) as he adresses the camera, leaning back against a tree trunk. His clothes look a little baggy for him, the normal tight turtleneck he has on looking loose. He's on the thin side too.

When he speaks up, his voice is kinda squeakier than normal.]

... so did anyone ever figure out what affects people from aging up or down? I mean, I wouldn't mind aging up...

[He lets out a defeated sigh, shoulder slumping.]

This is just plain annoying...

[Anyone strolling through Gefion park can take note of the lanky kid in almost too big clothes sitting underneath a tree, writing in a notebook.]

[edit: Roxas' thread has been completely filtered by now, not just the latter part. gosh, Access.]

[What begins with the feed is a light curse under his breath. Nothing major, but someone has woken up feeling and looking a little different than he's used to. His sight's changed, almost worse than before, and with the little height he's gained overnight, how he's moving his body is a bit different too.]

Tch. They're really not giving us a break anymore...

Of course, this still sounds like Riku. His voice hasn't changed at all, but there's a tone that wasn't present before. He's annoyed, and clearly pissed off, but there's a sense of maturity that might have only faintly been present before.]

Anyone got any temporary solutions to fix eyesight? Glasses aren't an option. [YET] Doubt healing is either.

[And with a pause, there's some rustling of what sounds like clothing, and a sigh that follows.] ...Probably some shirts too.

[For anyone that might be wandering around in Heimdall's kitchen in the morning, they might be treated to the sight of a different, older Riku, who doesn't exactly look pleased as he's raiding the fridge. He's gained a few inches in height even, but not much. Just enough to make his pants look short and his shirts tight across his chest. And occasionally, he can be seen holding his head in what almost looks like disoriented fashion. He could see clear as day the night before, but it seems this new, older body is nearsighted.]


((OOC: Forward dated to the morning of Day 91! Tags will be slow for the weekend due to plans that don't involve the internet, sadly ;; Just a forewarning for anyone. Sorry!))

No!

[ Aqua sits straight up in bed, in so doing turning her bracelet on. She sits for a moment, breathing heavily, staring around her in open confusion. ]

... Is this ... Asgard? I'm still here? But how? I was just...

[ She looks down at the little bracelet, to see it recording. ]

That's right... I was lost. When I finally found my bracelet again, I was so tired... I must have fallen asleep. Did I dream all of that? How long ... was I gone?

[ A moment's thought, and she swings her legs off her bed. Her eyes are narrowed in thought. In some sadness. ]

I can't believe... The Master... Ven--

[ ... wait, he's --

Aqua springs off her bed, alarm and urgency lending her a sudden adrenaline surge. ]

Ven! Are you there? Can you hear me? Please tell me you're still here!

[The person on the video feed might look familiar to some of you out there, though much... younger than you might remember. It might be seen as a curse, but as soon as he starts talking, certain people in the know might realize something else is going on entirely.]

This kinda looks like that thing Mickey and Riku were using...

[At this point, he speaks up a little louder, though he still seems to be talking to himself]

I thought we beat all the bugs, so... why am I in another world?

[Not that he minds necessarily, he's just... very confused. Did they miss something? At last, he seems to address the feed itself.]

Riku? Mickey? Are you there?

Is this how ya... I think it goes like... [Here is Goofy with the monitor crooked, then crooked again, then right side up but blurry.]

Got it! [He holds it back and waves] Hiya folks! The name's Goofy an' I just got here! So I'mma guessin' that means you all know about other worlds then, huh? Guess that's one secret I don't gotta keep while I'm here...

[Scratches head] Now uh, about addin' color to this place... I done some paintin' back in the day. [He's very proud of this, rocking his shoulders back.] Anybody need help with a room in particular? I'm tall so sometimes I don't even need a ladder! [He chuckles] Could even just lift ya' up on my shoulders if ya want!

Hi Asgard.

[ Rapunzel isn't really looking at the screen. Though she throws a distracted wave in its direction with one hand, moving a paintbrush with the other. She's in an alleyway that's just wide enough to be spacious and narrow enough to be innocuous, hanging from something that's just off camera and looking for all the world like what's behind her is normal.

It's all pretty much par for the course with her, really. The massive building wall covered in words too many and small to be properly read, illustrations, bits of paper, and random scraps of junk pasted or hung over them and connected by string. Its all normal.

Normal in the way that being totally batshit is normal. ]

So. Aha. I was wondering if someone could maybe help me out? I've sort been keeping track of things. Things I've learned. [ yeah only sort of ] It's easier that way! When stuff is organized. I like that. Don't you? I like understanding things and taking them apart and breaking them down so they're all nice and sorted. And there's a lot to learn here so keeping track of it is very important.

But one of the things I've been keeping track of? It's the plants. See? Right here underneath - uh. Nuclear physics. I've noticed that there are certain plants are around in the park that are around during my birthday. Which makes me wonder if it isn't around that time of year because it's warm and summery and - even if we don't really know the months it kinda fits?

Aaaanyway. [ She smiles and finally looks up from her current painting, the beginnings of a mural inspired by Asgard itself. ] I was thinking I could find a nice leaf for my birthday. There's a certain leaf I've always wanted to have. And I thought it might be fun to go on an adventure looking for it! And...looking for other things too. Like - clues I guess. So if anyone wants to go on an expedition that would be amazing. And - Heh. I would be very grateful.

[The video opens a view of a slightly messy part of the kitchen in Heimdall. Among the broken eggshells, a carton of milk and various other messy bowls and spoons, there's finally a safe milky concoction in a mixing bowl Ven's set aside, and he's scribbling on a piece of paper. ]

... so I know a lot of people here, like me, has been here for a while. And I've seen people who arrived and left but came back after a while anyway. And they sometimes come back without the memories they have of their time here.

[A pause as he taps his chin with the pen he was writing with, looking thoughtful.]

... and I know a lot of us here made friends with people from other worlds than our own. So... do you think... there's a way we can keep those memories of those people so we won't forget? Or maybe there's a way to leave behind a reminder here or bring it with us back home or something, even if we do forget. Has anyone asked the Gods that?

... I don't really want to forget my new friends.

[A pause before he reaches for tiny food coloring bottles, simultaneously shutting off the feed.]

[ It's not unusual. The video just opens on a face: nose, freckles, green eyes the brightest of pretty, muted features and darting nervously back and forth. But anyone in the area may notice the trail of blonde hair leading from somewhere in the middle of the park up into one of the tallest trees where Rapunzel is sitting, relishing her surroundings and hiding at once. ]

So… Is — This is working, right? I mean - I've never really used a bracelet to talk to other people before and - [ she laughs nervously, toys with her hair ] Actually. I've never really talked to other people before in general. It's kind of — Well - [ sigh ] I just really have to ask and - [ she winces ] Sorry.

I need to know if anyone's seen a chameleon around. My chameleon. Well - my friend who is also a chameleon. His name's Pascal. And this is his first time outside too so if you could do me an amazing favor and send him to…Freyr House I think the person said? Or just - return him? My name is Rapunzel and… I would be extremely grateful.

[ And then the brilliant speech segues into a faint half-smile, a smile that eventually freezes as something occurs to her and, feigning bravery, she narrows her eyes, scowling to say loftily: ] But if anyone finds him and doesn't give him back? Or - Or they try and hurt him? I. Will hurt you. Because uh - I have a frying pan? And I am so not afraid to use it.

[ beat ]

Al…so. What's - a god?

[ooc; all-day driving, but tags will come later!]
