[Guess who was finally caught chalk stealing. Not that it affects the quest, they do still need the chalk. But she was made to apologize anyway.]

About the missing chalk... I just wanted to sincerely say.

[A deep breathe.

Then she smirks.]

My bad.

permboy

[ For those who may frequently keep an eye on the network, this will be a new face outside of Cinder. Gintoki plain does not use the network. But he has a couple of important announcements, and so he is here.

It takes a couple of seconds after the video turns on for him to decide that he got it right and the recording has started. Then he fiddles with the phone for another few seconds to get it into a decent position against the comic book he's laid on the table, his scowl slowly deepening until he finally leans back on the couch with a scoff. ]

Don't understand what's wrong with phones with buttons and good ol' video cameras.

[ Clearly muttered to himself, but audible.

Finally, he presses a curled fist up against his mouth and clears his throat. As his hand lowers, he puts on a somewhat disturbing smile as he reaches across the couch to pick up a bag of Special Flavor Coffee Beans. He makes a show of holding it up in front of the camera like he's in an advertisement or the TV shop or something, and speaks with a clearly fake enthusiasm that anyone who knows him would know is sort of uncharacteristic. ]

Miss out on getting your own bag of Special Flavour Coffee Beans at the charity auction? I've got a bag right here and I'm willing to part with it to the highest bidder! The bidding starts at a thousand Moon Coins.

[ I beg your deepest pardon. Don't they just sell that coffee at Moondrop anyway? Honestly, he doesn't know.

And then he just tosses the bag onto the couch like it's not precious. As he keeps talking, his voice settles into his usual lackadaisical drawl. ]

I'm also looking for a tailor. More exactly, someone who can tailor kimonos. See this?

[ He holds up his arm to fully show the blue cloud-like pattern at the end of the sleeve of his kimono. ]

This is a custom pattern fit for a protagonist. I got thrown into this place with just one of these kimonos, and that's unacceptable. I can't go around wearing plain yukatas most days of the week, I need my kimono!

[ Oh, suddenly the passion is back in his voice. It sounds way more real than his ridiculous coffee bean advert voice. He suddenly leans his head back against the backrest of the couch, covering his face with one hand. ]

I'm an embarrassment to my kind!

[ After a second or so, he seems to compose himself, lifting his head again to stare blankly into the camera. ]

And I could use a couple of haoris too. Oh, and you should give me some of them for free, 'cause it's my birthday. Everybody say happy birthday to Gin-san. I accept cakes, parfaits and chocolate.

[ Didn't even properly introduce himself, the nerve. He just leans forward and clicks post, or however it works. ]

moros

[ The man on screen is tall and well-muscled, with impeccable posture and a detached expression. A pair of antlers branch above his head. His skin is grayish, his white hair is long, and he has what are quite frankly fabulous cheekbones. (To those who know Thanatos or Hypnos, the familial resemblance may be apparent.) ]

It was suggested to me that I speak to other gods about life in this realm. I am Moros.

[ That, he thinks, is introduction enough. ]

I have little "life experience" outside of my work, and my interactions with mortals have been confined to that. Knowing that, I ask: what do you believe would best prepare me for life in this realm?

[ He shifts his weight just slightly. ]

I also have a few questions for mortals. What is it you enjoy about life here? What causes you concern? Do you feel as if you are master of your own fate, or do you believe there is a greater design?

silksentinel

Greetings, residents of Ellipsa, and all those brought here.

[The voice that comes through is calm and clear.]

My name is Hornet and I am recently arrived, but strangely I find myself treading familiar ground.

Still, I wish not to assume anything of this place and so I have two questions.

The first, quite the general one: is there anything you feel important to know that may not have been immediately told to us upon arrival?

The second, we are only provided for for a short period, correct? Where would one go make their own means?

[A pause]

And if anyone hails from Hallownest, please let me know.

rustyhonesty

I have a few things to address about the whole Hell Dimension thing, but another completely unrelated announcement.

[He didn't use Rinku's post from earlier since this is sort of personal and kind of something he wants people to know... as much as it's annoying.]

A while back a group of us went to the Survival Fortress. During that time I was captured by demons for a bit. I saw at least three of them turn into "me". [He looks very, very sour at the memory.]

At least one of them died at the fortress. Another one died while the Hell Dimension mission was going on. But there are still at least a few left. So if you see me somewhere in the Winter Segment, call me first before assuming I'm doing something evil.

[Who knows what the demons get up to.]

... and if a vacuum cleaner starts doing something suspicious somewhere, that might be a demon king in disguise. Pretty sure it remained trapped in the dimension but you never know.

[ANYWAY--]

The other, better announcement is that we're holding a meeting at Odyssey for members to get to know each other! We also welcome anyone who is interested in joining.

If you feel like it, bring some snacks and drinks. We do have food for everyone, but what's a better way of bonding than showing your favorite food?

The headquarters is located in Frostreign [a fake map link]. It will be on October 11th, so this Saturday! Feel free to bring your friends with you, of course.

[OOC: Mingle here!]

rogue_sec_unit

[ Even SecUnit is aware that humans often need some form of visual stimulus to go with reading text on a screen, but it is very anxious about showing it's human face on the screen when it doesn't have the ability to wear a blank face plate on its helmet at the same time to keep humans from looking at the expressions on its face. So instead, think of this post as one of those infographics that you will see on Instagram with falling snow in the background. ]

I'm used to having a med system that can slide into my feed and tell me exactly what I need to do for a traumatised human, but I don't have a med system that's independently functional here. I have access to basic human anatomy diagrams, but that is really it. I'm no good at the kinds of messy human emotions that come with trauma recovery. Is there some kind of med center that would be more helpful for a human's continued mental health?

blood_memories

[First thing you see is black and the sound of someone clearing their throat. A pause. And then they speak very loudly and very deliberately.]

HELLO? CAN YOU HEAR ME? THEY TOLD ME TO TALK INTO THIS.

[ The camera shifts to reveal a hand had been covering up the camera. You're now greeted with a view of a young man examining it, scrutinizing something...Perhaps trying to sus out the new technology he's been gifted with. It's not a very flattering view.

Look, where he's from, Alexander Graham Bell's telephone is still a new novelty he doesn't know any better. ]

wolfishlycharming

[The video starts in Lycaon's rather nice kitchen. He sets the camera down on his counter and steps out of frame to reveal a rather nice cake. He smiles as he uses tweezers to place a final cherry on top.]

I have been here over a year now. It has taken me time to assemble the capital but I have done so. I am pleased to make two announcements. First, Victoria Housekeeping is now an officially recognized business by Ellipsa's governing body. I am pleased to announce an official office and presence here in Ellipsa. All those you hired Victoria Housekeeping before now, I thank you for your patronage and your assistance in making this a reality. I am very thankful to you all.

I will continue any current outstanding contracts while we open officially for a more robust clientele. Please fill out the services request form and submit it to me personally or by forwarding the completed form to the official contact for Victoria Housekeeping.

We are pleased to serve you.

The other announcement is a simple one. Today is my birthday. I did not celebrate last year outside of a quiet dinner but this year I thought it best to bake in celebration of both of these events.

That is all I had to say. Have a wonderful day.

[He will cut the cake and pull out a slice, showing each tier is a layered cake of chocolate and a deep red jam before he walks over and turns off the recording.]

doggoduties

[Amaterasu appears on screen. She is wearing what looks like a necklace that has an amulet of a paw print on it. She's not sure if this will work on video, but she wants to give it a shot.]

Hello. Apparently, by wearing an Animal Amulet I can speak to you when I normally can't so I wanted to introduce myself properly.

[Somehow, the device registers what she says as speech. Success! No barking here. Thank you magi-technological miracles.]

My name is Amaterasu and I am the Goddess of the Sun. I'm an otherworlder like you all are, so please don't ask me about 'owners' or call me a 'good girl'. While I don't demand to be respected like other gods, that feels too humiliating.

You can, however, pet me anytime you want. I won't say no to that.

[This is way more talk than she usually does. Who knew talking would be so tiring, really.]

That's all I wanted to say.

procedere

[He. May or may not still be in a sling and recovering from having been puppeteered earlier. But it's fine! This is why he is going with text!]

oh! october! hey, that means it's halloween soon! i haven't been trick-or-treating in forever, but it could be fun? especially after. you know, last month was kind of rough. i'll have to think of a costume....! i'm sure there's still some options. what about everyone else? are you gonna do anything for it?

syochan

I was really surprised when I heard there were Pokemon here too!! Who else trains Pokemon here?? Is anyone else here from "Kanto"...?? ? Or even just Aichi, in Japan??-

I'm from Aichi prefecture, Nagoya that is, so Kanto is kind of adjacent when it comes to our dialects, but --

Man, though, this really brings back memories!!...

[ To some of the eight Pokemon gathered happily behind Syo at the back, which you can now see a dimly-lit shot of, as it's now evening -- though Syo's lights are dimmed?? Lapras and Tropius have returned to their Pokeballs since Syo checked on their health, but ]:

It's really great to see you guys again!! ... [ subconsciously to self ]
But it looks like we're missing some teammates... man, now I'm a little more worried ....

Oh, wait, I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Kurusu Syo -- I'm fine with just "Syo" too.

I'm also... looking for some people here...
( as Syo browses all the names on the device carefully. It's a little overwhelming, all these unfamiliar names... )
{ Others seeing this won't be able to see the names Syo views because of the way Syo holds the device, but they can see Syo's slightly scrunched up look of concentration. }

Has anyone here ever met... Nanami Haruka? ... Shinomiya Natsuki?? [ hesitates ]

{ Would Natsuki, during an episode, have ever used the name } ... and also Shinomiya "Satsuki"?? He might have just used "Satsuki".

Or Ichinose Tokiya... [ muttering slightly to self as Syo thinks ] Or "Re" -- [ Syo had missed the earlier post -- and then Syo's eyebrows shoot up. ] Ummm, never mind that one!!

... I guess there's no chance people would know "Mikaze Ai" or any others from Quartet Night's group, huh...

... Also... Kurusu Kaoru. [ more hesitation ] Someone from... my close family line. [ smudging the details a bit on very literally having an identical twin, for now... ]
Have they ever been here?? Because if you ever hear from a "Kaoru" with blond hair and blue eyes, or just someone from the "Kurusu" family that's also from Nagoya, you should let me know right away.
They'd likely already be trying to contact me if they knew I was here, but I've not heard anything...

( There's honestly more names Syo needs to ask about when it concerns a certain idol group known as "Starish" -- and this Syo technically isn't even from the group version of it in the world this Syo comes from, but learnt about parallel timelines involving them all as time went on --
but now that Syo knows Ren is here... is this the Ren from "Starish" again too, or...?? ? )

{PRIVATE-LOCKED} (VIDEO) [ To Ren Jinguuji ]:

[ When Syo appears back on the screen, most of the Pokemon are back inside their Pokeballs, except Hayato the Meowth, curled up on the nearest soft surface "sleeping" the night away. If it's aware of the ongoing conversation, both Syo or Ren shouldn't be able to tell right away, but ]

I looked back through some of the earlier posts and found some of yours. I didn't see everything yet - but I did hear when you...

... asked people about "other worlds".

... How much do you know about... [ And here Syo inhales a small but slightly obvious Deep Breath ]:

... That place where the Pokemon come from, the "Kanto" region... or "Johto" of their world...

... Or even just a town outside from all there called -- "Holly Heights"?? ?
If anyone's told you anything about these places -- let me know...

( Cut for Length )

saxsongs

[Ren feels like all of them could use some pick me up, so he plays some upbeat tunes with his saxophone. It's all that happens for a while for the video feed.

Once that's over he smiles at the camera.]

It's been a while since I brought up to concert for Autumn. I'm here to announce that it will take place on October 31st, at the Blossomcrown Concert Venue! The theme is Halloween, though mostly aesthetically. So don't worry about coming up with spooky songs.

[Even if now is a good chance to bring them up, too.]

I'll be around at every meeting for Rinku-chan's Music Club, where you can ask me anything related to the concert.

So, mark your calenders and get ready for a great show.

bombdemon

[ The video feed opens to... it looks like a park? From what can be seen, anyway, because most of the screen is filled with ducks. ]

[ That's right. There's ducks covering the ground, the bench that the man in the video is sitting on, and even the man himself. There has to be a couple dozens of them at least, but if the incessant quacking is any indication, there may be more behind the frame. ]

[ A couple ducks keep trying to hop off the bench, but the man carefully herds them back with an open hand, apparently determined to keep them nearby. ]

Greetings, citizens! Would anyone happen to be in need of a duck? I, ah, [ a duck perched on his shoulder starts fluffing up and flapping its wings, and he tries to lean away but still gets slapped over the head a few times before he finally raises his free hand to try and cover himself from the onslaught so he can speak without getting a mouthful of feathers ] seem to find myself in a bit of a bind here. I was hoping I could train them, but [ one of the ducks manages to slip off the bench and immediately makes a break for it, agitating the ducks already on the ground that start wandering off in different directions ] they're not listening to me and-- MARGARET, COME BACK!

[ There's some shuffling and the video feed just shows the sky as the phone was apparently placed down in a hurry. There's quacking and sounds of struggle for a few minutes. ]

[ If you're still watching, well, eventually the phone is picked up and Katsura looks like he's just been in a pretty brutal pillow fight. Meaning that yes, there's a bruise on his cheek and feathers in his hair and the neckline of his kimono is a bit askew. There appears to be less ducks around him now, though you may spot some in the pond in the distance, a few in the sky, a mass of them running all over the park... ]

Anyway, as I was saying. Ducks to a good home available today at Central Park! First come first serve, so please make haste, as they are proving to be quite popular. As you can see. [ Tilts the phone to show the now-empty bench, as if that's supposed to prove that somebody came and adopted all the ducks, rather than them all simply ditching him. Which is exactly what happened. You may also spot a Shady Shop duck whistle laying nearby. ] Ducks make excellent pets and are incredibly emotionally intelligent, so do make sure you're serious about the adoption!

[ A duck's face appears in the frame, staring at the screen point blank before quacking with determination. Looks like one stayed with him, at least. ]

That's right, Eleanor! Thank you. There will be an interview in person.

See you soon~

[ (Hijikata either mysteriously does not see this, or still happens to be blocked.) ]

For those who noticed that I was gone for a few days, I'm back.

If this is your first time seeing me: hi, I'm Stelle, your local Intergalactic Baseballer and owner of the pawn shop slash bar, Another Star's Trash.

And we have a few short announcements:

1. We are still hiring, so if you need a job, we're looking for anyone who wants to work PR, bartenders, hosts, and anyone who wants to help sell and buy stuff on the pawn shop side of things!

2. Starting in October, our bar menu is expanding for new drinks! There will be both alcoholic AND non-alcoholic variants of these drinks. Each one has their own special effect that lasts for 24 hours or less and will be explained in detail on the menu, so check it out!

3. I'm no longer vampire-proof, but I won't let that stop vampires from coming! For all of next month, all blood-related cocktails will be a buy one get one 50% off!

If you have any questions, comments or concerns, let me know. Look forward to seeing you all soon!

xiyun

Do you think devils and demons are the same thing? What about fairies and elves?

Come to think of it, tell me the other names you have for gods too. I've read about gods I didn't even know existed!

roundandaround

[The video starts in the reception area of the Winter Guild, where Rinku and G'raha stand amid a collection of artifacts brought in from the Hell Dimension.

Rinku looks different. She's shrinking into herself a little more, her usually sparkling eyes have gone dull, and she looks like she's struggling to hold herself together. But G'raha seems confident and serious. He lets Rinku have the first turn to speak, gently encouraging her.]

( event recap )

Oh. Um. If you need to see any of the stuff, I stole a bunch and gave it to the guilds. ...Yeah.

[G'raha looks at the camera with a solemn nod.]

Please share any information you feel like is important, whether it's about the Hell Dimension or what happened during the expedition.

linguaphilia

[He's in Amberfall library... somewhere. The bookcases give it away, though not much about his actual location within the building.]

I have been giving some thought to the variety of people brought here, ostensibly to save this world.

[Particularly since the latest foray into the 'hell dimension'.]

And how those people - even those lauded as heroes in their own worlds - feel that their skills and experiences... 'translate' to the task given to us in this one. Do you feel like your being here contributes to the goals we are given to achieve?

[There's a brief pause. The camera dips, and a keen eye might note a book flying in his direction that shoots over his head as he ducks. He speaks to someone - or something - off-screen just before the transmission ends, sounding a little exasperated.]

If I'm going the wrong way you might just say so--

corpsewarblade

[On the evening of the 19th Sept, after Olwen's announcement of their next mission, Mukuro addresses the network.]

Evening Ellipsa.

...Given the announcement of the upcoming mission to the Heart Will Go On Glacier's portal to Hell, I wanted to give a delayed mission report of our preliminary expedition there a year ago, so we can use the intel to strategise accordingly.

[This definitely wasn't Mukuro's favourite subject- her eyes seeming a little unfocused as she picked up some notes from just off-screen. Ones she made beforehand, to ensure she didn't miss anything.]

( Mission Report: The Hell Portal )

Even if you are an experienced combatant, take extreme caution and prepare adequate defensive measures in advance. That is all.

[Pause. She hesitated, debating ending the call there, before adding; ]

Actually... this is not part of our main objective, but I will offer 1,000 Mooncoins if anyone locates a human hand- the left- wearing a brown leather combat glove down there and brings it out. I don't want it just staying there...

Um. Anyway. Over and out.

[OOC: Of course, if anyone doesn't want their muses to be spoiled about event details IC, feel free to assume they didn't catch her message- rule of fun applies!]

the_one_who_waits

[It is 3am when the video goes live. At first it is dark wherever this is taking place. The camera moves through a dark wide open hall. The arms of a stone statue, outstretched, can be seen for only a moment. That is until it turns to a doorway. Light slices through the darkness like a blade as the camera moves in to show two figures hunched together in front of an open refrigerator.

One is the Lamb, who is chewing and eating some sort of meat from a container.

The other is the Goat, eating moldy strawberries out of a plastic container.

Both look over at the same time, their eyes almost glowing in the darkness. The light on the camera flashes as the video saves a picture of the two together, staring at the one who has caught them late night/early morning snacking.

The Goat hisses.]

It is 3 hours past the witching hour. The Lamb is devouring monster meat. The Goat is eating moldy strawberries. These are our leaders.

[Narinder's tone is deadpan and clearly tired.]

[The Goat SCREAMS.]

[The Lamb stares with an expression that can only be read as ?????? in facial form and munches faster.]

THE SOUNDS OF YOUR HOOVES WOKE ME UP!

[Narinder screams back and ends the video.]

((OOC: Responses can and will come from Narinder, the Goat, and the Lamb.))

Hello, Ellipsa!

I have made the decision to make a PSA. Today, I will introduce to everyone someone you should all become friends with.

( cut for image )

See that cute girl right next to me - you know, the shorter one!! Her name is Firefly, and she's one of the sweetest girls I know! She likes oak cake rolls and seeing new things, but she's also a bit shy, so I'd like for her to meet new people. You wouldn't say no to that face, would you?

[OOC: While Stelle has posted this without Firefly's permission (ICly), you may get responses from Firefly in the comments, so consider this a potential two-for-one!]
