Subject: What's there to be cheerful about anyway?!
Warnings: Grincheyness

[It's that wonderful, magical, beautiful time of year, isn't it? There's wonder and kinship and love in the air. The spirit of giving is abundant. It's truly the most wonderful time of the year, isn't it?]

[And no holiday season would be complete without some old person very loudly and publicly complaining about it.]

[Eggman appears to be sequestered away...somewhere. Where it is, it's dark and the only lights are from screens he's cobbled together and there's a perpetual sound of grinding metal somewhere in the background.]

[He looks...annoyed.]

From whatever empirical evidence I can gather, this time of year is supposed to be heartwarming. I'd like anyone out there to properly explain, within provable parameters, preferably with citations and sources to back your theory up, how that's even remotely possible.

[He takes a long, pointed sip of coffee from a new mug that he's very deliberately pointing towards the camera.]

And yes, I said "theory." I won't even entertain the notion of a hypothesis because I refuse to believe that any insight any one of you festive fools can conjure has the potential to be tested in any way that matters.

And before any one of you decides to present some sort of faith-based angle for this disgusting display of mirthful misery, I am going to assert that you stow it.

I'm eggnostic for a reason.

[The video is of a rocky shoreline, under a grey autumn sky. A small handful of the demon horses can be seen grazing on washed up seaweed.]

[Davrin slowly lowers the camera back down, turning it to face himself. Both he and Assan the griffon, are perched on a couple rocks higher up. Out of immediate view of the horses.]

I know we're supposed to be gathering clippings from these things but... call me crazy.

[Assan lifts his head from where he'd had it balanced on his foreclaws, looking skeptical.]

- Not you. [Then back to the camera.] Anybody tried maybe... taming one of them?

[They're no halla, but maybe it'd be a good idea to have a horse around for land-based travel.]

The bracelets are just for tracking the treasure hunting, right?

[Someone is a bit suspicious.]

Sender ID: astudyinviolet (Sherlock Holmes)
To: Public
Subject: Who is familiar with this entity?
Warnings: The worst book club ever, talk of eldritch horrors, potential poking at the 4th wall for Sherlock

I made the purchase of ‘Encyclopedia Necronomica’ earlier but had not the opportunity to make a study of it until now. Having done so, I must ask: who is familiar with the entity pictured here? What do you know?

I shall include photographs from the book and of my sketches in reference to imagery related to my world.

Furthermore, if anyone else wishes to reference or compare this book with entities encountered recently, I am at your disposal.

S.H.

[ Sherlock had some sense of mind to not study this particular book while feverish and ill. He should be praised for that, honestly, because he spotted something frightening familiar when he finally did.

Wait a minute, when did Arthur Conan Doyle write about Holmes going up against Cthulhu? ]

Subject: Help wanted for skate park
Warnings: None

Aight, so me and Checkers are trying to make a skate park over at Hero's Rest and we gonna need some help.

[Beat moves aside to show off the State of the Skate Park. It is obvious that it needs quite a bit of Help. He stands in what looks to be the middle of a repurposed amphitheater. The only things that have been set up is a ramp and a grind rail from the stairs that are already part of the original architecture.]

It ain't much right now, but we got a lotta plans.

[Setting aside the shellphone, he rummages through his sketchbook, eventually flipping to a page with said plans. He holds it up to reveal a very rough drawing of his and Roxas' dream skate park for all to see.]

We thinkin' 'bout puttin' up a half-pipe somewhere 'round here— [He starts moving around, pointing out to a space each time. Boy, does he look excited about it, grinning from ear to ear. Very much like a kid in a candy store.] —coupla pyramids somewhere in the middle, an' a buncha rails and ramps all 'round. Yo, Checkers! Am I missin' anythin'?

[Roxas can be seen in the background, cleaning up part of the amphitheater that they hadn't gotten to. He turns to Beat.]

Maybe a bowl somewhere?

Nah, you's right. Gotta add that to the plan. [Then Beat turns back to the shellphone.] That too. Anyways, it's gonna be a lotta work, so if can help us out, we gonna owe you big time, yo! Jus' name your price!

[ooc: Beat is red and Roxas is blue. Either one of them or both will be answering replies!]

Subject: TailsTube: Episode 01 [LIVE!]
Warnings: bullying foxes

[The feed opens up to Tails' cabin on the Stormbringer. He's spent a bit of time and effort on getting it ready for the camera: Tools put away neatly on a pegboard, a few potted plants over here, some hand-drawn blueprints over there... the space still looks lived in, but mindfully so. And on top of it all, there's a banner reading "TAILSTUBE" pinned up on the wall behind him.]

[There's a moment's hesitation as the fox double-checks his shellphone, sees that it's recording properly, then backs up to fit in the camera's frame:]

Hey guys! Welcome to the inaugural episode of... TailsTube: Sea Fox Edition! [A quick jazz-hands towards the banner behind him!] Back home, TailsTube was my streaming channel, where I brought on the coolest guests I could find to hang out, answer your questions, and have some fun! Now, unfortunately, my setup here still needs a few upgrades before it can hold a candle to my original lab...

So, u-uh... [He pauses, clears his throat — summons up some willpower to say this next part with a smile.] This is also the first episode with a paid sponsor. And it's none other than Dr. Eggman himself!

... no one's more surprised about this than I am, guys.

( You'd think he'd know better )

Sender ID: ramuhs (Cid, featuring Zelda)
To: Public
Subject: Special Delivery
Warnings: None

[ Those who tune in will be greeted to seeing Cid and Zelda sitting next to each other. With a small wave, Cid will go first. ]

Well, things have been quite the mess as of late, hasn't it? Fortunately, Zelda and I have started a little venture that may be of great benefit to everyone.

[ Cid is going to let Zelda start, so he'll move the camera so that she's the focus. With the camera turned to her, Zelda offers a wave and a smile herself. ]

Last week, I acquired a potion recipe for a remedy that temporarily alleviates the "ailment" which many of us have recently become afflicted with. This remedy suppresses the negative effects of the ailment for a few days, allowing for close collaboration between people who would normally trigger an adverse reaction in one another.

[ Cid briefly pops onto the screen with a wide grin. ]

And it works!

[ He'll then grab Zelda's hand and make a show of waving it around, as if in celebration… When really it's another clue as to what this "remedy" is as their insignias are fully visible and glowing ominously. ]

Now typically, each dose of the remedy must be tailored to the individual taking it, necessitating different ingredients for different people. As you might guess, they tend to be costly. But after some careful testing and adjustments, my crew and I are able to reliably recreate the remedy without needing to adjust the recipe each time.

[ And she looks very pleased with this accomplishment. (Never mind the fact that she has to use her sealing power to enchant each dose.) ]

To help Zelda distribute these remedies, I've offered my crew's services to deliver them to specific locations for easier unloading.

[ Read: not in major ports where they would be scrutinized. ]

However, should there be any who have grown tired of the tension in the major cities and would like a bit of a "getaway," there are a few distant islands that I can recommend. Private, out of the way—perfect for those who may want to spend a few days away from it all. Perhaps even for a moonlight tryst?

[ A playful wink because yes, he's talking to you special couples who are suffering the worst of this whole stupid insignia debacle. Although not said outright, instead of just recommending, the Hideaway crew will ferry those interested for a small extra fee, information that can be discussed upon contact.

At the words "moonlight tryst," Zelda blushes. That may have been one of the methods used in testing the efficacy of different versions of the remedy. She quietly clears her throat before going on. ]

Please bear in mind this remedy has a nasty drawback that we are yet unable to mitigate: once it wears off, you will experience the delayed effects of the ailment in full all at once. The severity of the pain is directly proportional to the proximity and duration of contact with the person who would normally trigger an adverse reaction in those suffering this ailment.

[ Translation: the closer you are to someone and the longer you spend with them, the more it’s going to hurt when the potion wears off. ]

I recommend using these remedies only in moderation.

Now we only have so much supply and so many hands, so it's best if word doesn't spread too far or fast.

[ In other words, keep it on the down low, guys, they don't need enforcers from either side getting onto them. ]

But if you have any questions or concerns, you're welcome to bring them up here.

[ OOC: This is a joint network post between Cid and Zelda advertising Zelda's special potions that will help counter the effects of the insignia. Cid is partnering up to help deliver the potions in secluded areas away from watchful eyes while also offering a type of ferry service for those from different Armadas who want a safe, private place to meet up (especially couples). Both will be able to respond, but depending on the topic only one will if it's focused on their part of the operation. ]

I HATE THIS!

[Roxas can be found holed up in his room or somewhere on Hero's Rest that is largely removed from people. The skatepark, the onsen, the wilds. He's doing fine.]

Warnings: possible Veilguard spoilers, please let me know if you'd prefer to avoid them and I will! None in the original post.

[The post is really... more a series of quick mini-videos. Remember Vine? A little like that. But with less purposeful comedy.]

[A video of streets in Eltrut, the person moving along, camera pointed down for a good while, until it swings up so the holder can peer into it. At his heel is a flurry of feathers before the video stops.]

[A couple of the shops - the bookstore, general goods shops. A man's voice can be heard speaking, asking after general supplies. Complete with a squawk in the background as the man's voice asks after a... Bestiary?]

[And finally, the inside of one of the stater apartments, filmed like the phone's owner has just come home. He's speaking to someone not visible, but there's a patter of feet that definitely don't belong to a biped.]

- I know, boy. I know. No convenient way back, far as I can see. [Something trills, avian-like.] We'll keep looking. But for now? Let's get settled.

[And thus, the phone is set down, on a low table. Showing further images of the man, and - and a big grey, griffon face peering into it intently.]

Assan.

[This tone of voice.]

Assan, do not -

[Too late. The griffon has grabbed the camera. Ironically ending the feed there, but not before the sound of a chase is heard.]
