[This is still a strange method of communication to him, but he's getting used to it. And he can't deny how convenient it is to be able to speak to everyone at once. Especially when it comes to getting an answer to his question.]

This might sound like a strange question. How do betrothals work where you are from?

( 1. The Arrival - OTA )

2. Network Introduction - Audio - OTA

Good afternoon, everyone.

[ A smooth, mannerly tone is heard across the network. A new one, certainly, and this is confirmed a moment later. ]

My name is Yusuke Kitagawa, and I’ve only just arrived this morning. Forgive me for asking questions that I expect most are tired of hearing by now, but I am still trying to work some things about this place out. I have managed to learn a few things around the city, so I will try to limit my inquiries to the necessities.

I’ve heard that there are some rather unpleasant creatures and entities that reside in this city, and I should think that having a means of defense and assisting in defending others would be smart. Is there a preferred weapons dealer in the city, preferably one that would carry or willing to secure a sword of my preference?

[ He wants to get his hands on a katana rather quickly, if he can. No, the teen hadn’t yet considered what that might cost. He’ll figure that out later… as per usual. ]

I’ve also been informed that there are others here who have experience with other worlds and realities than their own, and I confess I’m rather curious to hear about such things. [ Not because he has experience with such things himself. Nope. Not at all. Not him. He’s not hoping one of these people will be someone he knows, even if he hasn’t spotted familiar names on the contact list… But still, from what he’d heard it was worth asking. Yusuke moved on rather quickly to… justify his question. ] You see, I hope that hearing such things will assist me in understanding and being prepared for what I may see or encounter here… And as an artist, I can’t help but wonder what inspiration I might draw from such stories and experiences.

With that out of the way, thank you for any answers you may be so kind as to provide me. I look forward to becoming acquainted with my fellow arrivals.

[As useful as the message board was for some things, as the days turn into weeks, it becomes obvious to Shinjiro it's not the way to find a part-time job.

Seeing as there was also no internet to speak of, he supposed this was the thing to do. A way to earn coin while they figured this place out probably hadn't even occurred to Mitsuru, but living on the streets for a while, you get your priorities straight.]

Anybody hiring part-time workers? I'm not picky.

[He's wonderful at introductions, right? Such a people person.]

( Come One, Come All! )

Welcome to the Carnival

A MULTI-DAY AND MULTI-NIGHT ENTERTAINMENT EXTRAVAGANZA!

That is precisely how the advertising banners draw the curious in to the circus complex outside the city, and they do not disappoint. Visitors will be welcomed and told to enjoy themselves, thanked for their patronage, and even given a welcome gift: a small, folding mirror in a box as a door prize. Along with the mirror is a hand-written note in silver ink, written in elegant script.

If you use me before sleep, you will certainly dream of what might have been!

Visitors to the grounds anytime of the day or night will be drawn in by the colorful lights and whimsical sounds of the carnival that dominates both the park and the Circus itself. There are fair rides on the midway. Yes, that's right. Actual, honest to goodness rides. Some are probably familiar, which others are completely alien. There is a Ferris wheel, a haunted house, a house of mirrors to name a few, as well as whatever you as players may want to dream up. If riding fair rides isn't your style, there is an entire shopping district of craftsman hawking wares, food galor to be found (ranging from exotic meals to typical carnival food) as well as enough alcohol to keep everyone well and truly intoxicated for their stay at the carnival.

There is an entire galley of carnival games as well, if winning that special someone an stuffed animal or new pet (think a brand new goldfish) is more your style. You can show off your skills in the shooting range, try to land rings around moving poles, try to guess the number of marbles in one very large jar, and anything else you're welcome to dream up! It seems the visiting clerks here like to change their games up, so now two trips to the galley of games will ever be the same!

The caller outside the sideshow might try to entice visitors in to his gallery of oddities and here things get very interesting. It seems something like a zoo, or a freak show if you want to call it that (and it may make some players and characters uncomfortable). There are creatures in residence from any number of worlds, be their your own or creatures (or races) pulled from other media. The features of the sideshow also seem to change every time it's visited. You may want to go back several times to see if you can share something you've seen with someone else. You might even be successful!

THE MAIN EVENT

Over the several days of the carnival, there are regularly scheduled showed, either in open-air stages or under Big Tops, and they range from magic shows (that use real magic), or stunt demonstrations (that even use motorcycles, which is odd. Has anyone ever seen a motorcyle around here?) to wild animal acts, acrobats, and even clown shows! The tend to change, any they're repeated regularly so you're sure to see something you came to see! There's no limit to the number of times a show can be seen, either, so bring your friends!

unbreakable_king

Good evening all.

[Rhy had found a nice, comfortable place to set himself up and anyone familiar with the Red Residence should know it as one of the open spaces for residents on the first floor. Rhy had carefully set up his Tell Phone to shoot him as he sat there.]

It seems the crystal rain is not letting up. I know this has been a traumatizing event for many of us. To see the memories of another, whether pleasant or otherwise, is sometimes very weighty and awkward. I know this better than many for before I cam here, I was one of those who spent time in a place we knew as the Sphere. While we were there we were often subjected to the memories and experiences of each other.

[His face darkened for a moment. He saw so many horrible things, but he didn't know how to make people feel better at all. Though he did his best to calm himself the best he could.]

There was something I always wanted to suggest there, and it never had a chance to come to fruition. So I have done my best to achieve it here today. For those in the red building or who are willing to come to it, I have gathered some small snack foods. While you may not wish to speak of the experiences you have had or seen, especially as it may violate privacy, I have found it helps to be near others who have gone through the same thing.

[This was something he had learned by having his husband around to comfort him when he saw things.]

Please feel free to join me to talk and try and find some relief from the rain of, well, emotions.

(ooc: Hello! I am happy to say Mono saw one of your characters memories if you tag this, because I think he probably would have run into a lot and not known what to do. I just picked through a few that I think would grab his interest to start from the lists people provided. This is also a good place to have your character approach him about seeing one of his. They can even talk back and forth about each other’s memories if we want to say they both saw each other’s.)

[Mono was…

Well, he was panicking a little.

Or a lot. It was hard to tell with him sometimes, most of the time he expressed vague discomfort and an honest opinion about something he didn’t like.

Today was a little different. He’d been running messages for work when all this started, and at first it hadn’t been too bad. Confusing, yes, but not too bad… But then it started to pile up. Too many memories, too many feelings that didn’t make sense to the child. He doesn’t like it, not one bit. It’s hard enough to try to figure feelings and how things should be, without this.

And he was pretty sure he wasn’t supposed to see any of these things. This all felt like it was private. Private thoughts. Private feelings. Experiences that if he were these people? He’d want to forget they happened for the most part… The bad ones, at least.

So he’d halted his deliveries in a panic and found a place to hide until it all hopefully passed, but he had questions… Oh boy, did he have questions.]

I don’t know what’s going on, but I don’t like it! Where are all these things coming from? Why’s the sky throwing other people's thoughts and feelings at me?

[The static interference is a lot stronger today. So perhaps it was easier to tell he was panicking. Mono’s emotions were not in check.]

It feels really bad to see all these things! ‘Cause I didn’t mean to look at people's thoughts, I don’t even mean just the bad stuff! [A pause and his tone gets very dark as he mumbled.] even if I’m really mad at the stuff I saw happening to my friends… I want bad stuff to happen to the person who was mean to Tommy and also that creepy guy with Illyana…

But even the nice stuff…?? Some people come from such different places, even from here and it’s… It’s all so weird and confusing?? Some people aren’t even the same as they are now, so I think they were older… Like Mr. Rhy was really small in one of the ones I saw! Like me! But not… It was really nice, like a castle in the fairy tales. [A pause,] And some of it’s not even really people?? Just feelings? Aren’t these things supposed to stay in our own heads, not in crystals?

[Another static filled pause occurs as something crosses the boy's mind…]

And I don’t want people to see where I’m from.

[Because no one should see that place.]

Who: Everyone!
What: Open Log
When: December
Where: The Hunter's Lodge
Warnings: N/A
Notes: This is a mingle log, so people are free to set up their own TLs under it. So tag in and tag around!

Snow has fallen outside and while it's not heavy it's set just enough down to gently cover the wooden benches and ground outside. The chairs have been removed but the lanterns are still out and lit (as well as the little lights that have been replaced with more festive ones) if people want to walk around outside and have private chats among the snow, the trees and the lighting.

Potluck - Food is all around. Got a story about how the food you brought is part of a long standing family tradition? So much the better! But Ignis for his part has been researching and working on bringing the foods he's heard about. So here you'll find an appetizer platter along with a cream cheese tree, turkey, ham, his version of the Crown City roast, stuffing balls, roasted potatoes and roasted vegetables, and of course a few different desserts.

So you can find him making sure the table is decked out in christmas colours and full of food. But as he sets the last appetizer tree down on the table, he nods. "Quite glad to see that you could make it."

Trim a tree A small group of freshly cut green trees are sitting in a corner with room to go around the back. Simple lights are already in place, but there are ornaments with hooks sitting in silent invitation to decorate the tree and gather around as well as different coloured garland too.

But there's plenty of supplies and being able to decorate a tree with Nida last year was all sorts of fun as it will be again this year. So the advisor is definitely happy that nature can come inside at least temporarily.

Ignis stands back and takes a look at the trees with a satisfied sort of nod. "I suppose after the holiday, I will see about replanting it outside." Turning to his guest, there's an easy smile. "It won't do to simply throw it away do you think?"

Gift exchange - Gifts aren't required, but people are free to do so. This can be as private or as public as wished! The royal strategist is busy arranging gifts under the tree, trying to make some sense as to how they should be grouped, so he's on his knees trying to keep the order straight. As soon as someone approaches, he acknowledges their presence with a smile. "Would you mind handing me that blue wrapped gift sitting on the chair right next to you?"

Wild card- Dancing? Snowball fights outside? Feel free to make up a thing here!

[It's late in the afternoon when Jacob finally decides to make a general call to the residence of the city. He has the information that he needs to know and he trusts that everything else will come with time. He isn't in a rush and when he makes his call he's calm.

Jcaob is wearing his new fall threads, a dusty brown jacket with a dark blue scarf loosely wrapped around his neck. He's still unshaven but his hair has been brushed and is now pointed in the same direction. It's dark behind him but easy to see the warm hazel glint in his eyes.]

It's a beautiful night out. There are a lot of stars. [It's unclear where he is but he tilts the screen to show hundreds of little dots of light freckling a blanket of black.] Hopefully this doesn't wake anyone. I've become a bit of a night owl.

[Night wasn't a safe time of day for someone who can't see in the dark.]

I got my job back at Gary's carpentry but I honestly want to do something more than make furniture. If you need anything, let me know. I was a mechanic before this. So I can work with just about anything.

Seriously, anything.

[It's amazing how easily he fell back into his life here.]

Ah, yeah. [He grins.] It's Jacob. If you don't know me but want to find me.

I consider myself pretty easy to find.

[Llewellyn looks quite serious when the feed opens. It’s an expression he has worn a little less often of late, but there were things going on now that were getting more and more concerning. The gullwings had just finished their investigation on the matter, but this was not something they could resolve themselves. The city was going to need a different sort of help than they could offer, and the average person needed to be warned.]

Hello everyone. I’m sorry to be addressing the network under such mm… unfortunate circumstances… But the Gullwings have been investigating a situation around the city for the last few days and we feel it’s important to share what we learned with everyone. Especially as we’ve found something that uh- is going to need some specialized attention in order to resolve this, hopefully before it gets worse.

[And worse is what the three gullwings were hoping to avoid…]

I’m sure by now everyone has noticed the strange plant life that’s planted through our city, and I say planted rather than spread because we’ve found evidence- tools and the like, that prove someone brought them here intentionally. [Plucking a bright green feather from the desk in front of him, he twirled it lightly in his fingers to show it off.] We found this at one of the scenes. It’s from a bird native to the southern forest, and it’s been altered to be a decorative accessory.

In trying to work out where they started from, we retraced the pattern of their planting back to the cemetery. The spread of mold and mildew seems to have gone unchecked there, quite unpleasant… But! At its heart, we discovered an alcove which lead to a portal we definitely were not made aware of before now. It leads outside, and it seems logical that it’s where the culprit has been entering from to work on their task. There are tracks leading in and out, [He shifted the phone function to display a picture they had taken of the footprints of clawed feet that went in and out. Flipping back a moment later, he continued.]

It… gets more worrying from here. [As if this wasn’t all concerning enough.] The plant pods seem to change as they grow. At first they only got a little larger, but they… track you. I know that sounds odd, but they seemed to follow our movements as though they were drawn to us as we passed them. It’s easy enough to stay out of their reach at first, but it’s unsettling. The problem is… They get bigger, like uh- a medium-sized dog big? Larger than Pretzel is now, anyway.

And the bigger they are, the greater their reach. We managed to get through, but….

[Criminy, he can’t believe he’s going to describe this next bit.]

There’s like… Ah… How do I put this? Um… A giant one? Very large. Huge, even… So much so that I’d hazard a guess that a few people could fit inside. We didn’t stay long, because it wasn’t safe and we’re not exactly equipped to deal with something of that nature. It seemed pertinent to get that information to everyone, to warn people away from the plants and to provide knowledge to those who might have more luck in dealing with them.
