In Russian folklore we have a tale of a being known as Koschei the Deathless. [ Such a strong name requires a dramatic pause before she continues on. ]

One particular tale, Tsarevich Petr and the Wizard, goes as such: once upon a time the beloved wife of Tsar Bel-Belianin was abducted by the vile Koschei. This wizard was known as a terribly frightening foe as he had cast a spell upon himself that prevented himself from being killed. You see, he had the brilliant idea to separate his soul from his body and hide in nested objects. In this particular tale his soul was in an egg, in a duck, in a hare, nested in a hollowed log.

Seems like a needlessly complicated path to immortality if you ask me. One with some very obvious flaws. [ She thinks this story is stupid. ]

Well, the sons of Tsar Bel-Belianin went to rescue their beloved mother. Only one was able to trick him into tell him of this nested soul and he ventured out find the egg. Once in his possession he found the wizard and then smashed the egg in front of him, kill him instantly.

[ And thus ended his reign of terror. ]

There are many variations of the story, he's something of an archetypal villain where I'm from. Generic if you ask me. He's always on the search for an eternal bride.

[ But there it is, her story that she was forced to tell. ]

Strange...well, if I disappear you'll know what happened. [ She sighs. She better not though. ] Should we all play truth or dare next?

[ ooc: Not too long after posting this she'll be kidnapped and talking from there. ]

It doesn't have to be a snowman )A. Video post
[ Illyana's got a coat on with the hood pulled up tightly around her head. Standing next to her is a strange snowman. She waves one of her fluffy sleeves back and forth in front of it as if she expects it to come alive.

Truth be told, she kind of does. But she knows she wasn't the one to make this and she certainly hadn't enchanted it like she had as a trick last year. So, when nothing happens she just shrugs and looks directly at the camera. ]


So, who made all our new friends? Think they'd be up for being extra's in a movie? [ She looks back at the snowman whos suddenly smiling. Well that was...weird. ] Was it smiling before? [ She glares at it for a moment and then shakes her head. ] If they're enchanted, I'm not taking the blame. [ But she does want to know if others are seeing them pop up around.


B. Do You Want to Kill a Snowman?

[ After spending most of the last few days watching these weird snowman that she was very certain had actually change their expression several times, Illyana had eventually found the answer she'd been looking for. It wasn't the one she'd wanted but an answer was an answer. They were in fact alive. The last thing she'd expected was to be attacked by a killer snowman in the cemetery late at night but that was exactly what had happened. It'd taken something when it touched her, memories of someone close to her that she couldn't quite find now. That wasn't all it took though, usually when she found herself in a bad situation she'd teleport away. But that didn't even occur to her now.

Actually, the only thing that was occurring to her was the fact that for a snowman that thing had been really fast. Somehow it'd gotten away again. That was twice now she'd tracked it down and it'd touched her, something had gone, and then it'd escaped. This time though she'd been left wet and nearly freezing from it's attack. A shiver ran through her body as she picked herself up from the tombstone she'd fallen next to. One of her gloves had slipped off at some point during the scuffle with it and her hand was starting to feel vaguely numb. She blinked several times as she looked around with a disoriented expression. Why did it feel like something was missing? Something important but what was it?

She took a step forward uneasily and then stumbled back down. ]
I'll find you...[ she muttered the words angrily as she tried to push herself to reorient and gather herself.

Illyana will be slowly making her way back through the city and back to her building. Strangely without choosing to teleport. Feel free to find her along the way or run into her another day as she searches for the snowman that took something from her. ]

[ It was an odd day.

One Lord El-Melloi II had never addressed the network properly before. In fact, he only tended to even respond to people on it if it seemed necessary or the subject sparked his interest. He wasn’t a social creature, after all. So it’s quite strange for there to be a series of broadcasts, all showcasing particular moments in his life that he certainly would not have been open to sharing. Although some might have been... a bit confusing, considering they seemed to focus on a young man named 'Waver Velvet.' If it weren't coming from his phone, some might not have made the connection.

Needless to say, once he realized what had happened? He was going to have the fun of explaining that… Either on the network, or (if anyone is bold enough to show up on his doorstep) in person should they find him hiding in his workshop in the harbor district.

[Angeal is sitting outside feeding a bunch of hungry little turtles who are almost climbing over each other in an effort to get closer to the man. For whatever reason, he can't seem to get the little bits of chopped apples from the small knife in his hand into their mouths fast enough. His pup is by his side barking excitedly and wagging his tail at the creatures that were coming up out of the water to feed. However, he's tied to a tree a little further back so he can't actually reach anything.

The former First class' head shakes, and then he looks back at the pup. In short order he realizes the camera is on.

Well then.]

I checked around in the market and it seems that no one's heard of peanut butter. Is that not something that's available here?

[ Illyana sounds vaguely amused when her voice comes on the feed. Then again, when doesn't she sound vaguely amused? ]

Raise your hand if you were naïve enough to touch a mirror that reflected a weird version of yourself. I'm conducting a very important and serious research survey. [ No she's not. She's just curious...]

For the id--[ wait be polite Illyana! Or at least try ] foolish ones that did, what was it like in there? What do we make of this new addition to our boring little city? I liked the sharks more. Even if some people were too afraid to ride them. [ You know who you are. You know. ]

Wonder what sort of accident caused things this time...

What; MirrorVerse shenanigans! Lyanna gets lost in the world behind the Mirror, worries about her son, and will later help in the search for Halcyn once she knows that's going on. Meanwhile, her MirrorVerse counterpart will be hanging out in Aterat, and while she's not evil or anything, she's different from the Lyanna who resides there. For one, she doesn't have a son named Jon.
Where; All over the MirrorVerse and Aterat.
When; The duration of the event and all through the end of August.
Warnings; Aside from the usual topics of war and violence when dealing with Game of Thrones characters, monsters and mayhem in the MirrorVerse? There's an element of horror in the first prompt, and Lyanna's rather underdressed for a medieval woman since she just got yanked out of bed. If any more come up, will add them to the comment subject lines!

Network | Video

[The feed initializes first on familiar surroundings to some, the Noble district, with its strange mix of manicured lawns and half-fallen buildings, and then the camera is panned over what looks to be the façade of a theater, set back across a park with a small semi-circle of worn and neglected cobblestones in front marking what was likely once a busy carriage park. The building is complete with a marquee, though it is weathered and lacks any sort of billing.]

What a strange place to find a movie theater. [The voice is young but deep and masculine, and then Ren turns the camera on himself in selfie mode. It's difficult to see behind the shine on his lenses behind his unruly hair, but there's a slightly mischievous gleam to his eye for those familiar with the look.] Anyone up for an adventure?

Angeal landed in a fountain and fortunately found an odd change of clothes in his new 'apartment' while his dried. And he did try his best to keep up with that gnome guy or whoever handed him the blue satchel and took off. But it scurried under some fallen tree trunks and even with his heightened senses and enhanced physical abilities, the First Class couldn't seem to keep up and it frustratingly disappeared out of sight.

Where this place was and why he was here wasn't answered. Why he was back from the Lifestream had gone unanswered. Everything about this place made absolute zero sense. He could remember picking Zack up from the battlefield, and bringing him to the Lifestream. And he even touched his own back. No Buster sword there, he'd given that to Zack who gave it to Cloud.

And then he wandered with his thoughts tumbling over each other eventually he came to the park and found a small wooden bench. So he sat down and tried to figure this new place out. He's not quite sure what is going on or why he's back from the Lifestream. Nothing looks familiar and as he continued to sit there, his ears picked up the sound of a small whine.

Standing up, the First Class started to look around and finally located the sound coming from a very small ball of fur.

Turning to someone nearby, he shook his head. "Does he belong to you?"

[The video cuts on to a dimly lit study. From the angle of the camera, floor to ceiling bookcases can be seen, stuffed to the brim with tomes and scrolls, all layered thickly with dust and cobwebs. The light becomes a little brighter when a small lantern is placed near the video source, and one of the creatures from those wanted posters (or your own encounters) hobbles slowly into view.

Little can be read in its face, though the corners of its mouth, just visible beneath it's strange snout, twitch upward in a vague sort of smile.

And then it speaks. The voice is high, feminine, and far more cultured than the savagery of these creatures suggested it would be.
]

Oh yes yes this will do nicely! [The yellow orbs that pass for its (her?) eyes seem to pivot and turn to face the feed.] Hello, Outlanders. I wanted to thank you personally for restoring what souls were not lost to our bodies.

[She pauses here for a moment, small body swaying as though deep in thought.]

I realize this may not have been your intention, but that is what's happened all the same. Well...those of us whose bodies could still carry us at the least. We were consumed and it couldn't be helped. If we harmed any of you, I am deeply sorry. The Voidcryst shard housed here did quite a number of us when it exploded. I'm sure you all have questions, and I'll do my best to answer them, though be warned my memory is a tad fuzzy, what with having my soul trapped away from my body for a time and all that. I remember enough to know I was an authority figure here at the academy and that we were researching viable uses from the shard collected from the Voidcryst.

There was and from my preliminary tests still is a failsafe in place in the event something of the magnitude that occurred...occurred, and that means this place is not safe for anyone who wasn't present at the time of the explosion until it's dealt with. In the central spire is housed an apparatus that can be used to deactivate the containment field in the basement. I should warn you, once it is deactivated, whatever may have come through the portal created by the explosion of the Cryst will need to be handled before it escapes. I would suggest a tandem operation. [And then she grins, if it can be called that.] Your questions are welcome!

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.

[ To those that know her it may seem a bit odd that Illyana is appearing directly on camera with the full view of two large horns on her head. They curved a bit like a goat, perhaps Black Phillip himself was an even better comparison. There was certainly something to be said about how often a goat was associated with Satan himself. Humans came up with such amusing things.

The quirk of her lips betrays a strange amusement about the situation she's about to disclose to everyone. Though she does try to feign some sense of distress or urgency in her tone. It comes off as overly forced and something that could almost be considered plastic. ]


It feels prudent to alert you all that I seem to have...misplaced some of my subjects. Imps. [ She shrugs in a rather over dramatic way. ] You can never seem to really do anything with them. I am worried about them though. They're small and one never knows what big bad people they may run into. Humans tend to be...unforgiving when it comes to things that don't look like them.

[ She smirks. ] So, if you happen to find any, let me know. It'd be extra helpful if you let me know where you are and tried to keep them there. I can travel quickly and see if I can pick them back up. They really shouldn't be allowed to linger here too long.

[ ooc: if you want to find some of them, feel free. They can speak most languages and are semi-intelligent. Enough to let your character know they're afraid and don't want to go back to Limbo. Illyana's been mirror-swapped with a version of her that has no soul at all and is fully just a demonic tyrant. The Imps may also mention her attempts to summon a creature with many tentacles. Enough tentacles to really freak them out. ]
