[The camera turns on and Terra is holding a string of lights in front of his new place that's all fixed up. A cup of something hot is steaming in a cup not too far from him, but he's busy and focused on the multicoloured lights. Looking at the lights, it seems as if he's counting something, but then he shakes his head.

Noticing the camera on at that moment, he then nods at it.]

I'm..not the only one hanging lights here, right?

Who; Mono and anyone! Open to all!
What; A Network Story and a Log for the event!
Where; All around Aterat!
When; Early August
Warnings; None to start, but if something comes up I will update.
Note; So I'm thinking this could provide some options. The network could be a fun chat story time, the log for after-story experience, or we could mix it up and people could reach out to Mono via the network if they come across Nomes and the log doesn't grab you. You are also totally welcome to do your own thing with Nomes if you want. Also if you want something personal written up, I’m happy to do so! My plotting post is over here

[The voice that comes through the phone sounds tired, more than anything. It's mid-toned and has the slightest drawl to it, as well as a distinct Canadian accent for anyone who might recognize that kind of thing.]

Well, this is a hell of a thing.

[A brief pause, and there's the sound of him shifting a little bit, then the plunk of a bag hitting a table.]

So...I'm Ches. Ches Fields. 37 years old. Farmer by trade. I hail from British Columbia, Canada, if anyone knows where that is. Live there with my little brother and a bunch of friends who help me run the farm.

[Another pause, then a soft laugh.]

Who all's here? Tell me a little about yourselves? And, well, if anyone from The Commune is here, drop me a line.

harrythelizard

[The feed is a little jumpy at first as Harry fumbles with the camera, but eventually he gets it angled right and it's clear he's standing on the pier on the Harbor District, Tell Phone's camera pointed to the sea, to the wall of fog that hasn't gone anywhere, and in the distance, to the lighthouse, nearly kissing that wall of fog.

He doesn't turn the camera to face it as he starts to explain, and as he does, what he's describing becomes more clear, though the display is small.]

There are things out there, in the fog, or maybe they're on the other side of it. I don't know, but they don't look nice, and any attempt to reach out and sense anything about it is fruitless.

[He breathes a sigh but keeps the camera steady, and just barely, it's possible to make out shifting shapes in the fog. It's almost as though it's lit from behind, like shadows dancing on curtains.]

Long story short,

[And this point, he does turn the camera to face him and he smiles a lopsided but somehow charming smile at all the folks at home.]

I need to get closer, and while I can make pretty bad life choices, I don't have a death wish. Basically, I need backup. Who's in?

How do you make someone...yours?

[daeshim's head tilts to one side with the last word, the corners of his lips turned down in a pensive little frown.]

Not just physically, but their heart too. It feels like...it must be a very different process from the way things are done in the forest.

( 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. ]

[ The video feed initially just shows the entrance to the cemetery at dusk. There's some fluid movement as the camera moves past Grave Concoctions, the local alchemist, and then forward a few steps towards a small strip of somewhat rundown buildings. The camera stops in front of one of the buildings on the far left side and then just zooms up and down on it. There are lights on inside the building and it clearly looks like someone's been inside and cleaned it up. Overall it's small and the outside is in need of a bit of help.

Ivy turns the camera to face her. She's got a thick white scarf wrapped around her neck and a large silver cross can be seen dangling down. ]

I've fixed the inside into what I want for the most part. [ She's to the point, it's common for her when she's got a specific goal in mind. ]

But I need some help for a few other things. I need the outside fixed up, there's some loose brick, and it needs some paint. Inside I need six barstools in black. I don't care about the material, but they have to be black. There were booths in there already, but I want them painted red. [ She's very specific. ] The kitchen is basically just the woodfire oven but that's enough, I don't need much more fixed with that. I've gotten the décor down.

[ Wait she's forgetting something. ] It's going to be a pizzeria. [ Probably should explain that right? ] I also need help with a name. If you have any suggestions, let me know.

[ A pause ] I can pay anyone that's willing to help clean up the outside and do the few other things I mentioned. I might also need some help running the place. I don't need a resume, just proof you're competent.

[ And she just ends things there. Ivy has A+ asking people for help skills. ]

I'm still gaining my bearings here but I suppose that it would be important to get some form of work sooner rather than later.

I've never really had a traditional job so I admit I'm not sure where to begin.

Aerith herself can be found wandering around and paying close attention to the drink table, making sure to run back to the kitchen quickly to grab more drinks if they run low.

OOC: Feel free to use this log as an open thing for anyone to mingle and get to know each other. Characters are welcome even if they didn't bring a dish themselves, but the more dishes the better! Anyone is welcome to come even if they didn't know she was throwing this party, it'd be pretty obvious that there was something going on in the Gray Building and she'll be leaving the door open with a small table that has a friendship flower bouquet on it. Please have some fun!

Good afternoon everyone, my name is Mitsuru Kirijo, though I believe I've spoken to at least a handful of you already. Still, it seems polite to introduce myself to those of you I haven't yet spoken with.

[ Her voice is rather formal and proper. Almost as though she were addressing a board at a business meeting. In truth, that wasn't too far off from how she was looking at things here. ]

Since my arrival I've been given a great deal of information and I must admit it was quite a lot to sort through. [ Her voice sounds a bit lighter there, with a hint of a smile hidden in her tone. ] Now that I've had sufficient time to organize my thoughts, I do have a few requests I'd like to make. [ She pauses. ]

To start with, I'd like a map of this place. I have not been here nearly as long as others, so perhaps someone else has something already started that I'm unware of. In that case, I would be more than happy to worth together to see what we can put together. I've been working on my own to compile as much as I can. I...have certain unique abilities that allow me to navigate, though I'm afraid it's much more limited than that of some. [ She pauses for a moment. ] I'm afraid I'm also not much of an artist, so I might require some help transferring my rough notes into something more clear.

[ After a brief pause she gets straight back to business. ] Abilities are another thing I thought we might organize more efficiently. From what I've taken note of there are numerous people here with unique abilities that might prove useful in various situations. I see no purpose in keeping secrets in a place like this, so I am more than willing to discuss my own. More importantly though, I am interested in cataloguing your abilities.

I will be at the Historium for another few hours for those that would feel more comfortable speaking in person. Thank you very much for your time.

[ ooc: if you'd like to meet her in person, feel free to just go straight to action in your comment. She's set up in the back of the Historium at a table that seems to have been purposely picked to obscure her from immediate view. ]

brotherofagod

Who; Jacob Miller

brotherofagod & You
What; Severe Bad Luck…
Where; Around the City.
When; Any time in June. Specify the date if you wish.
Warnings; Injury, poop jokes, possibly some violent but mostly innocent stuff to accent his bad luck. If you have any ideas of just unlucky situations feel free to wild card it because I need Jake to suffer… because it's funny.

( This was the price of stealing a magical motorcycle…. Worth it. )

neurotoxicity

[ If Ivy sounds a tiny bit tired, that's because she is. For a number of reasons that she's really inclined to just not think about. Luckily it seems like the place is getting weird again and that means there's a distraction that she can turn her full focus to. ]

I think there's something we all need to talk about regarding this place. [ Well, there's probably a lot of somethings. ] Has anyone overheard what the locals are talking about now? Evidently Aterat was known for it's Magic Academy. News to me. [ Her tone is dry. It shouldn't be news to her, she's got entire files on the information she's collected about this place. ] Nothing I've compiled from locals previously has ever mentioned that, until now.

But that's not abnormal is it? Seems like every time something new shows up here they act like it's always been here. One man I spoke to was actually annoyed that I wasn't concerned about it. Evidently, if I was really interested in helping Aterat I should be concerned about what's happened there. Not that I'd given any indication I was interested in helping. I guess he took my curiosity on the subject to mean I wanted to help figure out what's going on.

[ She pauses for a second. ] I would like to know what's going on though. Why does this keep happening and what does it mean when it happens? Are we going to see an Academy appear soon? [ And if so, what sort of trouble would that inevitably bring? ] How many instances of this can we list at this point? [ The sound of paper can be heard shuffling around quickly. ] There was the Lighthouse... the chocolatier and noble district...and [ she seems reluctant to actually speak about this one for some reason ] the recent carnival. They always seem to act like they've always known about these places. Maybe it's time we try to figure out why that is.

[ 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. ]

notarambler

[Sam looks tired and wring out as he attempts a smile for the camera]

I want to say sorry...in case someone saw something with me in it they might not have wanted to.

I don't....I don't have a lot of good memories...or non violent ones.

So...sorry....by a lot.

[He's not going to go into detail unless someone wants to talk to him...because yeah his life sucks.]
