[The video shows Oryou sitting on a Pile of Stuff on on a bed (thankfully not Medea's bed, she got her own room expansion). The pile of stuff contains... frogs. No real frogs (also thankfully) but frog plushies, frog keychains, frog candles, frog soap, frog stickers, frog magnets...]

Oryou talked to the local dragons and decided to start a hoard, too. [She sounds so pleased with herself.] She will take any kind of frog merchandise, if you want to offer tribute.

If you were a dragon with a hoard, what would you collect? Oryou wants to know.

[This would be her second Valentine's Day post. She'd been in Ellipsa for over a year, then...? Despite making happy memories in this place, fog still clouded her mind and exhaustion gripped tight into her heart.

If only- if only her beloved husband were here, too... if only she could just go home.

And as she had last year, she took to the Network to distract herself- looking her usual, creepy witch self.]

Good evening, Ellipsa.

For those I haven't met yet, I go by Caster, here.

I have been thinking about taking up wine brewing again recently. Coldreach is well equipped for it, and perhaps something more traditional will be well-received. ...Assuming that I can find or make a Kvevri, at least.

Do tell me if you would be interested in trying such a thing.

[Despite her suspicious nature, she swears it's not poison!]

But I also want to hear about your favourite food and drink that reminds you of home, if you are tired of the day's festivities and willing to humour me.

throneaway

[ The video cuts in to a very plain assigned apartment room, and a tall, reedy-looking individual who smiles to see something light up or turn on on the device. Success!

Maxwell doesn't look too worried about all this 'saving the world' jazz.

Neither does the little floating eyeball that nuzzles up to his shoulder. He pets it absently. ]

Say, pal. How many of you 'randomly chosen' otherworldly visitors were already heroes in your own worlds? How many of you were ... Less heroic?

I don't mean to be suspicious, you understand: I'm sure they actually do need help here.

But I have some prior experience with kidna--err--this kind of selection process.

kerontribution

[For the observant, this isn't the house that Oryou has video posted from before! It looks more like Coldreach's architecture. Also, Oryou's face isn't visible: instead, the picture shows a tiny skeleton dragon that appears to be sleeping in her lap.]

How does Oryou get up without moving the little one? Please help.

[She's never shared space with someone with pets before...]

healerscorned

[The feed opens to Nia in the middle of the Apothecary, sorting through some papers. She glances over to the camera and visibly puts on a professional face.]

Hello, this is Nia. I forgot to announce this until some recent papers reminded me, but I've taken over the Apothecary in Maomao's absence. We still offer much the same services, though I don't have half her skill with detecting poison. Rest assured, I am still more than capable of filling all other roles myself.

[Her professional mask cracks as her ears flatten and she mutters "doesn't mean it's not a hell of a slog." She quickly corrects that, her Queen smile returning in full force.]

That aside, we are currently hiring! Anyone who believes they have sufficient skill with herbs, medical knowledge, or even just can be trusted with deliveries, please contact me. Thank you for your time.

starshaper

[Here's one extremely cheerful girl on the screen in her usual twintails and pink dress and anyone may recognize the interior of a certain karaoke bar behind her.]

Hello everyone~!♥ My name is Usagi Tsukino and I'm here to tell you about some changes to one of our oldest businesses, SHINING KARAOKE!

As you may have noticed, or heard, Shining's original founder and owner, Ren Jinguji, left here over a month ago but we've been keeping it running even after that. And I just received the official license to adopt it to myself, so I'm the new owner now which is why its official colors are also now pink instead of orange like it used to be... This isn't even the first one of these worlds where Ren was running it, and I've been working there ever since he started it elsewhere, so it seemed like the natural thing to do.

[She's still very sad about that, but she's hiding it perfectly to all of that friendly cheerfulness, that could light up the whole room.]

And that's not all! You know how the song list has only been songs up until 2010, right? Well, turns out it only needed a system update and now when it's done, it's going to be up to date every single day and whenever new songs are released, they will be here too! So if you've waited for your chances to Shake It Off with Flowers and Espresso or anything else, that has been released anywhere on Earth after 2010, that haven't been in Shining's selection before, you can find and sing all of them here now!♥

[What else, what else? She's sure there was something more too.... Oh right!]

Ohhh, also I'm always hiring new people, so if you would like to work here, you can reply to this or contact me in any other way and we'll get that rolling.

[Good, good, she remembered to tell about that too. And since there are always new arrivals around;]

You'll find Shining Karaoke in Blossomcrown, we're right next to Kagami's Diner, where you can get amazing food before, during and after visiting us too! Whether you're a regular visitor, new visitor or our new co-worker, we'll be so happy to see you and we'll welcome you here with open arms!

Okay, I think that's all from me about us for now... But if you have any questions or anything, I'll gladly answer them anywhere anytime!

abnormalizes

[Here's Evangeline! She looks pretty much the same as usual, except she's not wearing the flower in her hair she always has for some reason? Weird.]

So, animal shapeshifting. All of us with seasonal powers can learn to do it, either full body changes or just an feature or two. Have you tried it at all? Which animals, if so? Do you do it for combat, for fun, something else?

My ice reflection had really cool wings and I kind of want to try shifting myself wings too, but I don't really know where to start, summer has a lot of tropical birds as options. Also I like, don't want to offend any real birds? I don't know if that's even something I should be worried about, to be honest. Having wings sometimes would be cool, but not if it upsets anybody else? Like the time I took that enlarging potion and tripped over peoples' Titan trauma - it's just not worth it.

Anyway. Thanks for your time!

[Ozymandias is sitting on a throne. Well, it's actually a chair that looks like a throne inside his house, but details. He has a sphinx kitten on his shoulder, as he addresses the network.]

Good day, Ellipsa. To those of unfamiliar with me, my name is Ozymandias.

[That's the all important introduction out of the way, he smiles, putting a hand below his chin.]

I'm looking for those who have can sculpt. During the time I lived, and even after, I had statues of myself decorating my temples. My desire is to have them here, as well, at the entrance to my house, so people know where I reside.

[As if that was hard to figure out, he lives in a pyramid shaped house.]

So don't be shy and talk to me, if you have such skills. I'm giving you artistic freedom in doing the statues, as long as they are made in good taste.

reincarnatedprince

[Mamoru opens the video to what looks to be a flower shop. Some may recognize is immediately as Moondrop. There's a Sprigatito in the background, sniffing flowers and enjoying herself.]

Hello, everyone. My name is Mamoru Chiba. I'm here to inform everyone that a dear friend of mine and their husband have left the world; I'm talking about Tsumugi and Kazunari. I'm happy the managed to fulfil their dream of marriage before that.

[It's always sad to lose friends, but he continues smiling, even if it's more on the sadder side.]

To honor their memory, I decided to take over as the owner of Moondrop. I want it to stay around, especially for if they one day return to this place.

[And even if they don't, it's good to have the place, still.]

Of course, anyone who worked here has been welcomed to stay. But I'm also looking for possible new employees, though. Florists, baristas, shop hands... we're both a café and a flower shop, so there's plenty to do around here. We're located in Sunwaning. I'll attach the location in the post.

[It had been something of a tradition, whilst Caster was on Avalon, to spend Valentine's Day pestering the Network with whatever random questions crossed her mind for discussion. It was a distraction, for her. A way to avoid thinking about what date it was and how far away she was from the one person she wished to spend it with-

And she seemed to have taken Oryou's advice and- whilst she was still in her creepy witch cloak- was not hidden away in a shadowy room. Instead, she seemed to be hanging around outside the Welcome Centre when she began her broadcast.]

Good evening, Ellipsa.

For those I haven't met yet, I go by Caster, here.

A question, if you are tired of the day's festivities and willing to humour me... if you could travel anywhere you wished, in any world, right at this moment, where would you go to?

...But if that is too personal for you, then tell me about your favourite myths or legends from home. It is always interesting for me to see how these things differ across the worlds.

chiefkeyward

[ Lahabrea hasn't made his presence known much since his arrival here. Nevertheless, he has a question he wishes to ask that may spark a lively debate. He has no need for anonymity on his part, so this mysterious "orator" can be addressed accordingly. After much thought, he decides to type the following: ]

What makes you worthy of existence?

[That's just one of many questions to come.]

bratherine

hey
anyone here lost their powers
like
shit they had back home or w/e

( not that she's complaining about this but how was that even possible? )

localdeliveryboy

[ The video clicks on showing a close up of a pair of big blue eyes before shakily adjusting to show, not just his face, but also the library behind him. ]

Hi there! I'm Noah LeClair, one of the...fairly new souls to grace this place. To put it so dramatically. My apologies, I've been, uhh readin' up on things while I'm still in between jobs.

[ He lifts and shows off a book, one about marine life. ]

All sorts of things that I've heard or seen since arriving. Thing is, I'm nearing the end of my list a lot sooner than expected so I'm looking to keep it going. So I just wanted to ask, what is something from your world that, in your opinion, is something you would absolutely share with others if given the chance? Could be something you think is unique or something that also exists here and in your world but your home does it better, or summin' thereabouts.

I'd like to look it up if I could. Once the unsettling sense of being ripped from me home world passed, I'm more than a little curious about where others come from.

Like, one fella told me about their world, Teyvat, and about the nations and their gods. I've been trying to find a book on that here but, well, no such luck so far.

triompheduhimbo

Bonjour toute le monde! Long time no see!

[ Hey, look who it was, not dead and smiling into the camera with a little wave. Some people may recognize the background as his own place.]

So due to a quest I picked up, I ended up... well, taking a flower nap, I guess you can call it. [ A bit of a sheepish laugh, rubbing the back of his neck--] But, I didn't come back empty handed!

[ He waves his hand with a flourish, that smile still not gone.]

First off, Olwen's telling the truth. We really will pop right back where we were before coming to Ellipsa. Because that's why I was gone for 5 days instead of the usual 3...

[ His expression did become more serious, holding up his pointer finger. ]

When I came here, I was from early February in Chaldea, 2023, just before Valentines day. I woke up back in Chaldea with only... I'd wanna say vague memories of my time here. And by the time I woke up back here again out in the Summer Flower Yard...? It was early August in Chaldea.

Basically saying-- what was 5 days for you all? Was 6 months for me.

[ And just... letting that hang in the air a moment. Before the smile came back easily. ]

--Yeah, I think that's about it. Sorry for worrying you all and disappearing like that so suddenly, but just wanted to give you that bit of information. ...And a chance to yell at me for being irresponsible, heh.

[ A small salute to the camera-- juuust as some black and red faced cat peeked over the the edge of it.]

Salut!

[ Before the message ends.]

[Caster hated the wretched Fae.

Just her luck that she was pulled into this world just as they started to become more active- and it seemed, perhaps because of her grumbling, that the Invisible Fairies native to this world had decided she would be a great target for a prank. They waited until she got back to her room to make the precious Golden Fleece hover in the air for a moment in front of her and vanish...!

It was only after Caster turned her Apartment upside down looking for it that it finally dawned on her: the precious treasure might have been teleported somewhere- or to someone- else. And if so...asking the network would be the best way to make any progress. So long as she could avoid exposing her identity in the process. Great.

A significantly more disheveled Caster in a significantly more disheveled apartment room compared to her last broadcast appeared on the feed, trying to hold her temper.]

Ellipsa. I go by 'Caster', a pleasure.

...The wretched Fae have stolen something precious from me, and I need it back. If anyone has had a- an object made from a gold material mysteriously turn up, please inform me.

Why. Is it always. Fae. And why are they so set on humiliating me...?! Haha...I will make certain they regret this-

[Ow- she could swear she felt a strange sensation in her ears and lower back, but she must be imagining it, right? (Soon enough, she'd discover the pig tail and ears...)]

[OOC: Feel free to have the Golden Fleece show up wherever! In your character's room? Up a random tree? In a marketplace? Anything goes- multiple locations always possible as the Fairies give her the runaround for being so rude.]

startraveler

[A blonde-haired young man waves as he shows up in the view. The smile on his face is friendly and familiar to those who have encountered him before.]

Hello, I'm Aether. A simple traveler...

[Very simple, nothing special, really!]

...Who sadly can't traveler that much here. But since everyone is from different worlds, I am curious to hear more about them. And to make this easier I have a question as a starter! Is there anything you miss from your world?

rustyhonesty

I need to confirm something. There isn't a weird disease going on that makes our powers go haywire, right? Since that happened in the previous world I was in. Sort of like a magical flu?

[How very specific of a question this is. Strangely specific.]

If not I guess I just learned how to breathe fire. I've been trying to do that for a while, but I didn't expect it to happen all of a sudden. Sometimes learning these powers is really weird.

[He did sneeze, but that was mostly because a fallen leaf tickled his nose. He doesn't really feel like he's catching a flu, but... who knows.

There's evidence of a random wooden bridge in Sunwaning having been on fire, smoke still rising from the railings and very confused natives over the now burned up parts of the bridge.]

Anyway, does anyone know how to repair things yet or should I just start doing this manually...

steadypulse

Take this as more a confirmation being made if need be, but—

What does it mean when a Command Seal, or whatever you might call it, vanishes completely without a Spell being used?

[Sure, there'd only been one left out of three, but he was damn sure he hadn't used it. The other two only used when asked- well, the second only used when asked since the first had been to save the guy's life.]

If it makes it any easier to answer, I'm the guy Napoleon calls Grandpere.

[... Still felt as if he already knew the answer, but rather not leave it to just a feeling.]

pyramidsmash

[The video starts in the middle of Solarpeak beach. There's a strange rocky pedestal with a strange looking statue on it. Did someone not meet the touch requirements...?

The stone statue is Hijikata. His face has been scribbled over with what appears to be a sharpie (mustache, beard, angry eyebrows and even meme angry veins #). There's also a sign hanging around his neck with the very same sharpie attached to it.]

This is Hijikata Toshirou. He did something extremely foolish and is petrified. Not because he lacks touch energy, but because of the Mystic Eyes of Petrification. A fitting punishment for a fool like him who would think to abuse Command Spells.

[Ozymandias may sound calm, but he's very angry - it shows in his expression.]

Until a cure is found, or brewed or something, I have made a "pet shaming" sign. Feel free to come around to write anything Hijikata has done so everyone can see. Maybe that would take him down a notch!

My Sphinx will be here to look after him and as a clear mark where he is - but should someone want to claim possession over this statue, feel free to tell it I gave permission. Tomorrow. Let him be like this until tomorrow. It's what he deserves.

[The Sphinx in question.]

[OOC: The Sphinx will stand guard over Hijikata statue until the next day! It is defeatable, of course, but it's player's request that Hijikata stand there for a full day for shame!

This is all related to this ongoing plot.]

[When the broadcast started, Caster was seen sitting in the darkened room of her apartment, dark cloak concealing half her face and covering most of her body in shadow. Certainly, not the most reassuring sight! The ominous smile she gave as she started to speak didn't help either.]

Good evening... Ellipsa, wasn't it? I haven't met many people here yet, but I am known as Caster. A pleasure.

[In Avalon, it had taken her a good couple of months to make her first post on the networks- but under the circumstances, a challenge had presented itself that matched extremely well to her skillset.]

I'll get to the point. I gather that the recent, abnormally cold weather has brought a curse along with it, and that potions need to be brewed in order to alleviate it.

Potion-making happens to be something of a speciality of mine, so if you do find yourself in need of one, do come seek me out at the Apartments in Nightwake City. Likewise, I would not object to sharing teaching of the art if anyone is particularly intrigued.

...I look forward to hearing from you.

[She carefully held up a couple of potion bottles in one gloved hand, potions that lightly gleamed in the dark- the first, shimmering gold with a label written in Greek script, and the other a warm orange that flickered like a fireplace. The light only served to throw more creepy shadows across what could be seen of her face.

...Was anyone desperate enough to trust this suspicious woman??]
