Hey, everyone.

So I know everyone's been busy with other excursions, but I wanted to actually mention a few findings of my own as well as pose a question. I'll start with the question, first...

Would anybody here be interested in a Technology Gathering, of sorts? I guess it's more like a 'club' really, but I'd like to meet up with some likeminded people who are interested in that sort of thing, just in case it comes up more in the future.

Speaking of which, I did go back to the Temple of Life to check if there were any panels and lo and behold, there were! The game file was found inside along with some coordinates: x843, x901.

That's pretty much it from me, let me know your thoughts about any of this!

Hello, everybody.

This is a bit of a more formal post today, since I want to share a few things and then inquire for some paid help.

1) While digging through the panels at the mines, I found some strange cryptic messages in the code. I can't understand them, but it looks like the language is similar to either French and German, so if someone is familiar with either of both of those languages, I'd appreciate it greatly. Although I suppose the languages might have different names in other worlds, so if you want to take a gander at the code to see if it's familiar to you at all, feel free to give me a heads up and I'll message it to you in private. I'd actually like to learn both in the off chance that this trend continues; so if anybody would want to teach me, I'm willing to pay up.

2) The digital signature of someone known as "The Scientist" was found as well - if anybody has any more information regarding this character at all, please let me know. I saw that there was a diary snippet, but if there's anything else...

3) I plan on revisiting the Temple of Life to see if there are any similar panels and more information to look out for. I don't really want to make this a huge expedition, as I do not plan on going inside, so I'll limit this to two other people at most. I'm primarily looking for a bodyguard to look over while I work on going through the files, but someone who is decent at dealing at technology would be good as well. Again, I'm willing to pay for the additional help.

That should be it -- if there's anything that anybody else found down there that would be good to know, I'll leave this post open for information sharing. Otherwise, feel free to respond to any of the three points above publicly or privately. Thanks.

Hello, Ellipsa!

We're close to the end of the year, so today I'd like to propose a little quiz with a prize: first five people to answer correctly will win a one of a kind signed shikishi!

And if you can guess even more precisely, you might get a bonus secret gift, too.

Now then, here's the question:

What event in November is the most important to me?


Send in your answers quickly before it's too late! ☆

[ On the screen is a rather strangely energetic Inaba Himeko, but if anybody pays real close attention, they might notice both how red her eyes are and the bags under them as well.

The post is thrown up during the early afternoon, something made rather obvious with her greeting. ]


Gooooood afternoon, Ellipsa! It is I, your local streamer across the screen, Inaba!

[ Clapping sound effects can be heard in the background. ]

Now, today we're going to take a deep dive into the "meme zone" as we do a deep dive on what kids have been calling the "new big thing" that's been taking social media by storm, and that is the new hit online series, Dippiti WC!

The "WC" seems to be short for 'water closet', or 'bathroom'. And the series itself seems to follow a toilet with a human head who has joined the army in his fellow water closet to fight against the evil humanoid tech devices, known as Technoloids. Apparently, this series has created a lot of controversy amongst parents, but also a lot of new slang words that everyone has been using and I'm here to break it all down for you all!

So if you have questions about the show for those who have been following along for the ride, feel free to ask and you'll get an answer! There's no stone left unturned here at--

[ In the midst of those last words, the words just stop and it's easy to see what happens next as your local streamer, Inaba Himeko collapses while live.

That's probably fine, right? ]


[ OOC: As a heads up: while it might take a bit for her to get back to being Physically Conscious Again, she will respond to people who do want to know about about "Dippiti WC", which is knock-off Ellipsa version of Skibbidi Toilet; feel free to come up with episodes that your characters may have seen or w/e, I'm here for people to go nuts. ICly, responses will occur 10 minutes after.

(i'm also very sorry.) ]

I wasn't sure if I wanted to write this post or not, but at the end of the day, I wound up posting anonymously.

So, long story short: I want a girlfriend.

I keep winding up with male partners that I want to have a female partner for once in my life but then I realize my issue here: I don't have any female friends in this world.

TL;DR? Please send help and advice.

[Jinwoo appears in front of the camera dressed very business casual today with a simple button down dress shirt. He appears as calm as always despite all the weirdness going on with the library recently. And he's going to get right into it today just like last time.]

I'm looking to hire a few people for a couple of positions in a new business. I need someone who can help with research about monsters and different locations around Ellipsa, and someone who can handle client acquisition and social media. It'd help if we're already familiar with each other, but since I haven't really gotten to know that many people yet, it's fine if we're strangers. In that case you'll need to be able to meet up with myself and the other employee- or employees -at least a couple of times to make sure we all get along.

[What else should he cover... There's the usual basic stuff, right?]

Pay is negotiable, so are the hours. I know most of us here are probably already used to weird things, but it would be best if you don't sign up if you consider yourself faint of heart.

[There's gonna be a lot of weird shit you'll see that likely happens at this job, that's for sure.]

If you can offer one but not the other, I'm willing to take on two people instead to fill separate positions. Just respond to this post if you're interested or have questions.

( ooc: Even if the positions seem to fill up, feel free to keep tagging in! I welcome the CR and there's always the possibility of hiring extra, or other positions he hasn't thought of getting filled. )

Do you like your spouse's other spouses/your boyfriend/girlfriend's other boyfriends/girlfriends?

Oryou is conducting a survey.

Has anyone else had trouble figuring out what to do with yourself because your life at home didn't really prepare you for this situation?

I'm a soccer player and a gamer. My parents were pretty obsessed with me being an elite athlete... so I guess I'm saying I don't really have many other life skills.

Anyone have an idea of where I should start?

Oh, and it'd be kind of nice to find some friends my age, especially if you play soccer. I'm 16.

Anyway, thanks for your time and everything.

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.

[ This is definitely something that is out of her normal wheelhouse... at least, in this world, anyway. But it isn't something that she isn't unfamiliar with, nor is it something that she hasn't done before. Or thinks that she can't do.

Besides, it's a paid job that she can spend her time at home instead of having to go out and do so many dangerous missions.

So in the end it's a win-win.

The camera is fixed when it turns on in a picturesque position, showing a good portion of Inaba sitting down with a rather smug grin playing across her lips. ]


Hello, Ellipsa!

My name is Inaba and as of today... [ Her grin widens and she shows off her license with a pose- ] I'm officially recognized as a social media influencer! Now, I know that plenty of you don't really know me, and that's perfectly fine. We'll get to know each other for as long as I'm here through my channel. You'll find plenty of reviews and analysis on current events and media, plenty of gaming streams, informative guides and more! If you're wondering what the 'more' is, exactly, you're just going to have to stay tuned and find out.

Since this is my debut announcement, we've got to do something a little special, shall we? Let's do a little icebreaker as I open up the floor for a Q&A session! [ And as she says that, the lights in her room flicker to a blue color. ] Consider this a "getting to know me" stream, really.

But before that, how about a short performance, first? I do plan on doing some occasional singing-related content here, so I'd like to show off a little bit... so please take a listen: and then ask away!

[ She gets up from the chair before going ahead and beginning to sing. Once the song is done, a huge blue glowing banner appears on screen that says QUESTION & ANSWER TIME appears. ]

( ooc | Feel free to treat this as a bit of like, a mingle of sorts - it's a livestream, after all, so comments would be seen by everyone! )

Emergency question to all of Ellipsa.

Apparently I've been having some struggles with hanahaki, and I was wondering if anybody had any solutions that didn't involve divulging any secrets. Obviously I'm willing to pay appropriate compensation as needed.

I guess this is just food for thought, but I'm mildly curious about a few things.

1) Count it as your birthday and add a year to your age?
2) How would you celebrate your birthday here? Would you even celebrate your birthday here?
3) And honestly, given that everyone is from different backgrounds: how would you celebrate your birthday back in your home world?

I don't know if it's common to suddenly disappear for a couple of months, actually go back home and experience three whole years, come back, and suddenly it's Friday the 13th.

That's some pretty odd luck if you'd ask me.

I don't know if anybody even remembers me at all, but if you do, hi. I'm back, I guess?

And if there's anyone I haven't met before seeing this: hi. I'm Inaba; I started the Welcoming Committee for Otherworlders here a while ago... although given how long I've been gone, I'm extremely not caught up on the events that have happened recently, so. Someone want to catch me up?

But other than that... I guess I can give an ice breaker question!

If you could choose any Seasonal ability that you don't already have and make it your own, which one would you choose and why?

[Makoto settled the phone onto something to keep it upright but also so he didn't need to hold onto it. He waved to the camera.]

Uh, hello. I'm Makoto Tachibana, it's nice to meet you all.

[He gave a soft smile, bowing his head slightly.]

I'm actually new here. I was wondering if I could get some ideas on what there is to do around here? I know there's a place to train with these, uh, new powers we got. Guess I could try and get a job too. Oh, I was just about to go to Tokyo U when I got swept up, so maybe go to school?

[He chuckled and rubbed the back of his head.]

Anyway, if you don't mind, I'd like to hear what you guys are up to. Thank you!

It seems we have quite a few travelers out of time here! It's reassuring to see I'm not the only one left puzzling over concepts like the 'phone' and the 'vending machine'. ... We were all perplexed by the 'vending machine' weren't we? That wasn't just me, surely.

Before I let this get away from me, I'll dispense with the pleasantries immediately; I am called Oengus, and I can almost assure you that I'm glad to make any of your acquaintances. I look forward to meeting as many of you as I can in the time that I am here, as I've already met just shy of a half dozen of you and I cannot think of a single negative thing to say about anyone.

I suppose the most pressing issue is... I've never had to go looking for a regular job before. ... I have no idea what I am doing, nor where to go, or who to speak to. I cannot remain where I am forever after all, and I'll assuredly need money at some point... So it would seem.

If you've no information on that front however, please feel free to tell me something about yourself! Trivia from home perhaps, or where or indeed when you are from! Anything that comes to mind, really, as I've implied earlier I have... very little to do right now and I'm in dire need of conversation.

[ The feed initially opens to a close-up of a dark gray eye, blinking curiously before Wei Wuxian sits back with a satisfied hum. He notably is wearing his robes from home, with two rabbits snuggled close upon his lap. Alright; it looks like he's doing this correctly. With a relaxed smile, he offers a wave. ]

Hi! My name's Wei Wuxian, and I'm still very new to this place. Maybe a week or so? I've been exploring a lot, and reading up on anything else I can find, but there's still things - especially this "technology" - I've been thinking about. So I have a few questions! Most are out of curiosity, but feel free to humor me if you have any answers.

Firstly, who else here wasn't originally familiar with the concept of a "smart phone," or even phones in general? How long did it take you to understand how it works and how to use it? I feel I've been catching on fairly easily, but it's still kind of overwhelming.

Second, are there any establishments or shops that serve especially spicy dishes? What about liquor? Do any of these parts have specialties? I wanna know my options!

[ He's. . . at least been taking a few odd jobs here and there since his arrival. Money will be another hurdle to pass. ]

Third, I suppose I should try and find a more steady source of food for these two. [ He affectionately pats the white rabbit on its head. ] Also for Lil' Apple, my donkey who apparently arrived with me; he can be unbelievably picky, however.

Fourth, . . .ah. [ Trying not to let the brightness in his eyes dim. ] . . .I'm really wanting to find some sandalwood incense. Surely that's doable, with how vast this world is, right?

Fifth— [ Entirely separate from the reasons above, he pales altogether when trying to broach the final question. In fact, he almost appears to be recoiling into himself, both arms moving to encircle the rabbits out of comfort. ]

A-are there always- [ His mouth feels dry, a sharp chill down his spine. ] . . . those flying dogs, are they always a thing around here?! P-please, it's important.

[ He will die. He'll die out of pure fear and panic, only to apparently be resurrected once more, then perish again. Over and over.

Okay. Right. He lets out a slow breath. ]


Um, a-anyway! Any replies would be much appreciated.

Hi!

This is a bit of an ask, but I was wondering if anybody here was hiring: if you need to know my resume, I have excellent organizational skills, writing skills, and technological skills. So if anybody would be interested having me, that would be great.

And if you want further details on any of these, please don't hesitate to ask.

But since just searching for work isn't the most interesting for a network post, let's spice things up a bit with an icebreaker: how about some shiritori--or at least, something similar in this world's language. Basically, how this works is that you give a word, like for example "word" and then the next person follows it up with a word that starts with the last letter of that: like "drive" or "door". It continues until you either repeat a word that's been used or can't come up with a word, the game ends there.

In any case: I'll let you guys choose the word.

And that should be it from me. Thanks in advance.

Hello! My name is Asami. I currently work at the Research Center in general technology and I'm a Spring.

[That's a quick and nice introduction from this lady before actually getting into why she's contacting the network, sitting in a living room dressed in fairly comfortable and casual clothes.]

I'm very interested in technology in general and wish to know what kind of technological level you have back in your worlds. My own isn't even closed to what they have here. Our telephones have landlines, for example, and our cars look nothing like the ones here. So it's been a new and wonderful experience.

[She's made plenty of new discoveries so far.]

Or you could tell me what's your favorite technological thing you've discovered while being here... or even just an app on these smartphones.

Hi. I'm Inaba.

I know a bunch of us are pretty new here, myself included. I don't know if this has actually been brought up in any shape or form, but...

I was wondering if anybody wanted to make some sort of "welcoming committee"? Not everyone comes in knowing others, but I'm sure we don't want to turn into stone or get eaten by any monsters, so I was thinking that maybe having something that would allow any newcomers that show up get the most amount of information that the Power Bearers don't exactly tell us on arrival would be good. Plus, I'd harbor that a proper tutorial for newcomers on abilities and the devices would be useful to many.

Plus, having a group of people assisting out in this manner would mean that there would be a good variety of options when it comes to the whole 'physical touch' thing that is mandatory here, especially given that not a single person is going to be available for that 24/7. Even more so now that there are guilds and missions to take.

So, I guess what I'm saying is that this is an open forum for discussion. Feel free to talk amongst yourselves on it or you know, share thoughts? I'm open for ideas.
