Have you ever had to reinvent yourself?

I mean, have to might be a bit much, but let's say you get a chance to, and maybe there's some things you want to leave behind, and anything that could've been stopping you before, isn't.

How would you do it?

It just seems like an awkward conversation to have.

Subject: Relationship advice?
Warnings: N/A just a guy being sappy

I've been thinking about something lately and I figure I might as well ask the rest of you for a bit of advice.

I realised it's coming up on a year since I met my partner, pretty soon here. I've never really dated anyone seriously before, or paid much attention to these things at all if I'm honest.

What sort of thing do most people do for a first anniversary? How… big of a deal is it generally considered to be? I don’t want to go overboard or anything but I’d like to do something nice.

Maybe some of you could share traditions from your worlds?

Thank you.

To: General
Subject: Brief Announcement
Warnings: TBA

[There was a soft melody playing in the background, along with the sound of paws pattering about. Some heavier steps. The music clearly from a music box that sounded as if it was sat somewhere closer to the shellphone—]

This is Professor Turo, and my apologies for perhaps a late statement that I may not be so easily found as usual the last several days; a few days more as well. Less time spent walking Cosmo, other places.

Of course I can still be reached over these, but I have been taking some time to myself. Finishing up a few projects, making room for others that are more in progress. Preparation for possible adoption candidates at Cosmo Conservatory -next month may do well for that- so I can be found within the medical building there once more at the very least.

[—that melody hanging in the air for a few notes. It at least helped to soothe...]

If anything is needed do not hesitate to contact me, but I bid you adieu for now.

To: Open to all!
Subject: A Godly Reminder
Warnings: N/A

Sooooo, like, what does everyone do for fun around here?

[ The video pans to Jester who is lying on her stomach, presumably in an inn's bedroom. Her hands are propped against her cheeks and bare feet are swaying behind her, giving a nonchalant impression as she continues. ]

Also don't you think it's weird we're technically suppose to be "pirates" or something- armada this that I don't know- but no one really talks like... pirate-y around here? Sure some people do, but where is your emersion!?

Oh! Maybe we should hold a contest or something for whoever can talk the best. I'll even make the prize!

She'll pan the camera over to her sketchbook. [ It's filled the brim with different doodles she's completed throughout the day. There's one of a ship, her in a pirate costume, and is that a... dog with an eyepatch? ]

Anyway, what I really wanted to ask was... y'know, if there a god around here that we can talk to? This place is super cool and stuff but I was actually doing some really important shit back home and traveling to another plane was not on my list of things to do that day.

Jester puffs out her cheeks before releasing a loud huff of air— Ahaha! Whoa! I am so not going to get use to that.

I mean, I would speak to my god about it but none of my messages are going through. [ She stops for a half a beat before correcting: ] He's super busy right now, though! Y'know, doing a bunch of god things. So believe me, I would ask him if I could, but maybe there's god who knows stuff around here, ya?

Just lemme know if you knooow! Thanks!

SHIVER ME TINDERS

Something’s been glitching with everyone’s shellphones this month…! They suddenly fizzle and go black and when they reboot it appears there’s been some unwanted activity happening on them on your behalf.

A network post has appeared and with it, fake social media profiles have popped up too. You didn’t post to it, the shellphones have automatically done that for you. They’ve posted one picture, your age and three random facts about you. Whether or not those facts are true or not is … sketchy at best.

If you’re curious, go scrolling through the network post and see what it says about others! Comment around and ask them about their facts! And maybe make a new friend?

- Oocly, you will post your character to the network post with a picture, name and age and three random facts.
- The facts don't have to be true and can be entirely made up and be random or wild. Or they can be the realist facts about your character. It's up to you.
- Have your character react icly any way you want!
- Post and tag around!
- This is not necessarily a romance/date finding post, we just thought it was funny. Make friends and cr!

Hello! [ Arkady waves with a big smile ] I'm Arkady and I need help. I'd like to be able to help people more here but I need to know how much I can. Back home I can see the future sometimes when I try. But the people I would try with aren't here.

[ which is very hard for her so really she's just looking to find more people she can help look after. Anything to feel more useful than she currently does. ]

Would anyone be willing to let them look for them? It wouldn't hurt you! [ just her ]

I could also maybe help with other things. Lost memories or broken minds. It's wasn't my specialty but I know hurt. I just... [ she fidgets awkwardly with the sheer skirt she's wearing before saying quietly: ] want to do more than I did back home

Subject: Holidays and Gifts
Warnings: Vague reference to coming from a world with The Horrors

[ Anyone who happens to remember his first post to the network might notice Faulkner looks a little... better? Not all that different: the same freckles, big blue eyes, youthful face and blonde curls—albeit grown out a bit more. But he looks less gaunt, haunted and sleep deprived.

The background also looks like some kind of house instead of his somewhat shabbier Corsair apartment. It doesn't seem especially furnished yet from what can be seen.

He starts this off with a cheerful grin and a little wave. ]

Can someone explain the upcomin' holiday a bit more? Or—holidays? Seems like I hear a lot about Winterstide and Christmas. Seems like a lot of you share that one, even from all different worlds. I have to wonder if the lore behind it is the same everywhere...?

[ He pauses with a faint chuckle. ]

But uh, that's not the important part just now. The other thing I've gathered is on a lot of people's mind is gifts. So for someone who didn't grow up with all this, help a guy out?

What sorts of thing are traditional for... different kinds of people in your life? What people are you meant to get 'em for? Seems awfully trusting if it's anyone you aren't close with already.

[ But then, people here do just seem more trusting than he's used to. And as much as there's magic everywhere, it seems like it probably takes a little more effort to make something dangerous than just drawing a sigil in the wrapping. ]

malefaecence

Sender ID: malefaecence (Malleus Draconia)
To: General
Subject: Questions: Magic, Travel & Rifts
Warnings: None

[ Malleus is not one to use technology much, especially phones, but he is today. ]

Good afternoon, for those who are unaware, I am Malleus Draconia. I have some inquiries for all of you.

Since my arrival, I have learned that if you had magic back home you can acquire a tattoo to use it here. Or if you had no magic, you can gain it through the same process. However, what I'm most curious to learn is if someone lost their magic before arriving in this world, would the tattoos be able to give it back to them or could they only acquire the magic found here?

[ Only two people know why Malleus is asking about this, and it's likely to stay that way. ]

As for another of my inquiries, I'm well-aware that finding this Rift-Creating Artifact is quite the monumental task and likely means the end of our journey here for many. That there is no true rhyme or reason to who comes and who leaves as of yet, but any information you may have on the Rifts and your discoveries on how they work would be greatly appreciated. I wish to invest some of my time into learning how these Rifts work or at the very most, being able to manipulate them to some extent.

[ And Malleus has a lot of time to spare. ]

For those with the ability, whether it be by ship or some other means, have you ever ventured on a different path than the leviathans? Tried traveling beyond what seem to be their destinations. Would anyone be interested in trying such a thing?

[ There's a bit of a pause where one might think Malleus has ended the feed or lost his train of thought. Either way, he obviously had a lot on his mind - a curiosity that has grown the longer he spent time here. ]

My last question is perhaps a bit more personal for those who wish to share their answer. If given the choice, would you remain here in this world or go home? Is there a reason you would prefer to stay?

[The video feed flickers on to show a tied, ruffled owl-faced demon. It was hard to tell since he had natural red eyes, but how gaunt his face looked, it appeared that he had not been sleeping well.]

Hello everyone. I'm in need of a little help.

[Stolas smiles weakly.]

Has anyone seen a imp running around lately? He would be hard not to miss. I woke up one morning and he wasn't in bed, which in itself isn't too much cause for alarm. Blitz often woke up early to go shopping or make breakfast for us but.... Some of his things are gone and I haven't been able to reach him. I am concerned something has happened to him. He's been gone for too long.

If anyone knows of his whereabouts, I would be most grateful.

Subject: Moving
Warnings: N/A

[There was a loud purring, Dapplewhisker's face and the pokémon inspired catnip toy she had in her mouth. Turo moved the phone back to show that the large cat was draped over his shoulders; with of course Mariposa -with a few of her pups that were still with them- running around, following in behind Dojima there in the background as the man was gathering a few last small items into a box.

The room was... empty, walls bare.]

Ah, I just wanted to make a quick little announcement for those of you familiar with the apartment where Dojima and I have been living—we will no longer be found here.

We are actually moving, as you can probably see and guess, to a house. It will be closer to Cosmo Conservatory for ease of travel, given how much time is spent there between us as is. A much bigger space as well, which will be nice.

[Ah, home ownership—]

That's all. Do have a good day.

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: Two year anniversary
Warnings: Probably none, except some terrible puns

Whale, whale, whale, looks like it's almost been another whole year. And in three weeks some of us will have been here for two years! It's sun-believable! Feels like I just got here yesterday sometimes. Then I look back on all the stuff I did, the friends I made, the family I found and feels like it's gone by in a flash! Not to get em-ocean-al or anything like that.

Tell me about some of the fin-tastic stuff you've done in your time here. Or the things you wanna do in the future!

I don't have any o-fish-al questions or anything, so just say crab-solutely anything on your mind! Don't get tide down with details.

Let's sea, for me, a lot of good stuff happened - and some kinda bad too.
1. Got to ride a ferris wheel with my newly adopted dad.
2. Painted a mural.
3. I have a family who accepts all of me even after they've seen the worst of me.
4. Sword lessons, gun lessons!

Hm, things I wanna do in the next year.
1. Have a birthday party!
2. Paint more murals.
3. Adopt a dragon sibling.
4. Become different creatures from other worlds (I'm working on chocobo)!
5. ... not use text-to-speech or speech-to-text function so much.

Ok, your turn now. You'll be shrimp-ly amazing!
