Did anyone else have people at the Otherworlder Fan Merch Store tell you you shouldn't look at a section? Especially in the back of the store, where they have all the books and a bunch of them are sorted by those weird names. The store employee told me I wouldn't wanna see the ones with "Sparklecest" on the tag, but I was on so many of the covers there!!

Actually, I wanna find out what all the names mean! Do you know any of them?

P.S. pet tax + kid tax?

[As is tradition, a photo of Leon sitting on a log in his enclosure, and a photo of Mecchan playing Candy Land with Hina... well, he's playing, she's trying to eat the cards.]

ghostfromthemachine

all right. so. hypothetically speaking
if a being somewhat reliant on the acknowledgement of others arrived here, the way certain types of gods or spirits are
where would be some good places for them to put an offering bowl to get attention?
I'm talking obvious, but not obnoxiously in the way or anything like that

[The video starts up on a new face, someone who's apparently found her apartment and original clothes and everything. She is very orange. She has also propped the phone up somehow and spread out across the table are a whole bunch of pamphlets -- pretty much every pamphlet it's possible to get when first arriving to this world -- and a notepad which, due to angle and distance, it's possible to see some writing in it but not to make out what it actually says.]

Allll right, everything seems to be working... Hello everybody!

[That smile is very wide and almost tangibly nervous. She bounces on her feet; a pen is in one hand even as she gestures them a lot as she talks.]

It is great to meet all of you, I am super excited to get to know more people who've been brought into all of this... From what I've seen, we have the responsibility of helping save this world, but we're also responsible for leading our own lives like normal people, needing places to stay, money, jobs...

[She picks up her notepad, eyes darting over what she's already written.]

It sounds like there are a lot of benefits to joining one of these Guilds, but I'd love to hear from anyone who actually has experience with them, good or bad... Or experience with other jobs or ways to help! And if someone happens to have any more questions, who or what is the best source of information in this city? After all, it's always safer to know what to expect.

--Oh! I almost forgot. I'm Anxiety!

[She sure is.]

Hello! Some of you might remember me, but in case you don't - my name is Ren Jinguji. I returned during New Years and I'm resuming my work as an idol!

[With rewnewed energy, as one might notice from his annoyingly sparkling smile.]

But that's not why I'm making this post, really. I want to propose a game! Something so we can get to know each other better.

This is, two truths, one lie. Write three things about yourself, one of which is a lie. Others will have to guess which one it is. Of course, you can also reply as a video or a voice message, if that's easier.

Simple, right? Let's have fun.

[The video turns on to Rinku looking extremely festive. She waves at the camera and sparkles.]

Hi, everyone! I wanna announce something that's happening in a week and some! You might've seen the posters around town already, but guess what? New Year's is coming up, and we're working hard to bring you a show that'll make you all 「Happy Around!」

The New Year's Party Live, presented by the Music Club!

Come to the Sunwaning Theatre in hall B at 7 for food and party games, and starting from 9 to midnight, we're gonna be doing musical performances on the stage too, up until midnight! It's gonna be so much fun! You're definitely gonna want to be there!

Oh! While I'm here, what's your favourite thing about New Year's? You never know! Maybe we'll make it part of the show!

-

(Following up from here! The event will have a log going up a few days before New Year's forward-dated to that night. Building on what worked and didn't work in Rinku's autumnal equinox live, Music Club members will be able to add their own performances to a TL about the performances, which caps off with a full-club song, and then everyone can tag the dinner and party. If your character is part of the Music Club and hasn't signed up yet, they can do so here or we can handwave it and they can just add a performance on the log with the others!)

mysophobic

I'm sorry to announce this but...Nen, Kenta, and Kagami have all gone home. [ He sounds a little sullen and sad. The house is so empty now so what the heck is he supposed to do with all this space?! ]

I never really noticed how big the house was until now. [ A sigh. ] But that's all I wanted to say. I apologize that it's not. It's not happy news but I think everyone has the right to know, especially those close to them.

Thank you, and I'm sorry.

roundandaround

To everyone who picked their own birthday: how did you pick it and what all did you think of?

Mecchan wants his own birthday. I know when Hina-chan's is because she hatched here in Ellipsa, but I don't know when Mecchan was born, and since Mary-chan just had a birthday a couple weeks ago, I think he wants his own.

[Attached: a short video of Mecchan wandering through the wrapping paper scraps from Mary's birthday, picking up a ribbon, thinking, and looking up at the viewer with a questioning warble, pointing to himself.]

(This is also pet tax) (technically?? Still not sure whether Pokémon you're raising count as pets or kids. Is there kid tax?)

So I wanna help Mecchan pick a birthday! Do you guys have suggestions or tips for him?

guilt_trip

[Russell didn’t use the network much. It was kind of a hassle and talking to strangers wasn’t his idea of a good time. He needed help, though. So here he was.]

I need a job.

I’m 15 now, I guess.
I don’t have many skills and I’m not very strong.
I don’t really like talking to people.

[Wow. Really selling himself here, huh?]

Does anyone have anything that I could do?

[He stares at the screen for a minute or two, then adds.]

…Thanks.

wroughtandtempered

[ the video opens to a large, serpentine beast with a wolf's pointed ears pulling back from the camera, having apparently started the recording via booping the phone's screen with her snoot. she flicks out a forked black tongue once, then lays her head down on her paws and says slowly: ]

What do you do when you feel like garbage, and you can't do anything to fix why? When you've just got to wait it out.

...I don't know how long I'm going to be waiting, so. The more ideas the better.

[ a beat, and then she adds: ]

Thanks.

[ —before reaching out to tap the phone again, this time with a paw. animal lovers, enjoy that brief full-screen shot of pink snakewolf toebeans before the feed cuts. ]

[ The live feed opens to the sight of a very strange looking raccoon -- what makes it different from a normal one is the fact that its tummy has something on it that looks almost like a plastic bag.

Said raccoon seems to almost reach out towards the screen before a somewhat messy Stelle pulls them out of the way. ]

Hey!

What did I say about grabbing my phone again...?

[ ... ]

Anyway, hi. As you might have guessed I have a new friend. I was already planning on making a post, but guess I'm doing this earlier. Surprise?

So, I was going to come up with a name myself, but I've been pulling blanks, so now I'm asking you: what should my name my new son? Or daughter? I'm not actually sure which gender they are.

happydreamed

One question. Why is it harder to fight monsters in video games than in real life?

[It's not, he's just bad at video games.]

starwill

Bit of a philosophical question today.

I have my own answer, but I can't help but be morbidly curious as to what the answers of those on Ellipsa would be to this one, so I'll toss it out: "why does life slumber?"

eternallywandering

He devotes his life to looking after the house. His mate always follows when the master goes out. A gentleman sees him and goes away. A villain sees him and it spells bad luck. Who is he?

Well?

[Who is in the mood for a good riddle?]

Games aside, do you think it's possible to add a hot spring to a house? Maybe behind it? I am an old man and I like to soak.

potatogirl

What's your favorite food?

[ And more importantly... ]

Would you wanna make it so I can try it?

Oh yeah. I'm Sasha.

nilhilistic

The people who depart from this place . . . do they return home safely?

I ask because my sister is gone. And I hope that she is where she belongs.

If not, this world no longer has a reason for existing.

passionade

[ She starts her stream, smiling cheerfully. She's very shiny. The sunlight highlights shimmering rainbow reflections on her hair. Her eyes are bright with the light of a thousand stars. It's a lot. ]

Hi there, my name is Passion Flare.

[ What kind of name is-- ]

I'm the spirit of the Enduring Blade. I fight for love and justice.

[ ~~Oh she said it with a straight face.~~ ]

But usually not alone. I tried to explain to the guild heads that I would be much more effective with a wielder, but... [ Hm. ] Well, I was the one summoned, so here I am.

I'm happy to help.

Let me know if you need sword lessons or a helping hand anywhere.

[The video starts with Minato holding the phone up in selfie mode, he's handing it to someone very tall and his thumb swiped the recording by accident. He realized with a start that they were broadcasting and clicked his tongue, but he decided to let it keep going since they were intending on recording for the network anyway.

With Hypnos now holding the phone, Minato could see just how he looked to the god. Koromaru was also in the frame, sitting at his feet with the curled tail wagging. Although his red eyes were locked in on a certain little coffee cup in his hand.]

...I look like a toddler at this angle, is this really how I look like to you?

You're just short. Short is cute.

[(x)Doubt.

But Minato decided not to push it. Hypnos was really the only one he let get away with calling him cute and such. Still, it didn't quite stop the soft pout on his face. He set the cup down on a nearby table and then, picked up Koromaru to hand to Hypnos.]

Koromaru wants uppies.

[There was a giggle behind the camera as a large gray hand easily took the puppy out of Minato's hands. Koromaru gave Hypnos some licks on the cheek while Minato opened up the coffee cup to reveal some thick, dense whipped cream. The cup also had the Beans logo on it.

They traded, the phone for the cup and the camera was flipped from selfie mode to show Hypnos feeding Koromaru the "Puppucino".]

Beans started selling these, Koromaru is taste testing for us. If anyone has pets and they can handle some whipped cream, you should try this.

Think we should offer different flavors?

We'll have to find out which are friendly to animals. Chocolate is definitely a no.

[Koromaru's entire snout was eventually in the cup and locked on, allowing Hypnos to have a free hand which then reached down to quickly pick Minato up. The boy in question let out a yelp, the camera swinging wildly until he was settled in the crook of Hypnos's arm. Minato was defintely pouting now, muttering something to the effect of, "Warn me next time..." even if the pout couldn't be seen yet. Although there was a sound that was suspiciously close to a kiss.

He flipped the camera back into selfie mode and now all three were in the frame, Minato (now blushing lightly) carefully pulled the cup off Koromaru's nose, who licked at his nose and cheeks from the rest of the whipped cream. He set the cup in his lap and gave the dog a scritch between the ears.]

Guess that's a success. Anyway, even if you don't have any pets, Beans is a cool place to be. Coffee and cats and stuff.

[The feed starts up, but there's a split second of just blue before they get a full view of the sky. Seems whoever turned this on dropped their device. There's a long, long moment of silence, until finally, a voice.]

... Hi.

[The voice is low, depressing, and clearly devoid of energy. Which due to her circumstances, is absolutely normal, but it's likely nobody would know this right off. It takes a few seconds, but eventually she speaks up again.]

Um, so, I've heard a lot of the advice newcomers get, but I don't think I'm supposed to be here. I don't know how to explain it...

[Finally, her hand comes into view - a small, blue hand, followed by a sweater covering her arm. Her hand is... moving? It looks like a bunch of energy swirling and floating around each other, making the shape of her palm. But she's moving it, so it must be solid.]

I'm not human, or anything like that. I'm just... an emotion. [Or rather, the manifestation of emotion.] Is there anyone else here like me? Am I even making sense?

[A long pause.]

Mm... I guess it'd be rude not to introduce myself... I'm just Sadness. [Finally, she manages to pull the phone up so a quick view of her face appears on the camera - complete with big round glasses, blue hair, small nose, and a frown. But all too quickly after that, the feed goes right back to the sky before it shuts off.]

saltofthesea

I don't know if anyone's asked this before, but I'm curious. What are the gods like where you're from? Or other supernatural stuff? How normal are they?

I come from a place where it isn't weird to meet a small god at least once, and no one says things like ghosts and demons and spirits aren't real because they very observably are. But I've heard that's not necessarily true in other worlds, and there are plenty of people who'd count as supernatural here too.

You can also just share your favourite legends or myths from back home. Those are always neat to hear.
