[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.]

I suppose I should post this here. People having been saying I should be more confident in myself so...

[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.

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? ]

Greetings, fellow riftfarers. I am Hythlodaeus, a bard... and a crew member of the Raiders of the Lost Arts. [ Why did Hades pick such a long name for the crew! ]

My home lies in a different climate, and the local conditions do not agree with my hair, as you can see... Have any of you advice for taking care of one's hair here? Any treatments you use yourselves, mayhap?

[So, what comes up on the network isn't actually any words, but a picture. A big, obnoxious picture, with some text superimposed upon it. The picture is then followed by several others, all depicting a similar theme, and similar motif:]

( Ridiculous pictures under here )

[Following the pictures is a morose-reading text from a certain magician.]

To think, after two whole years apart, my own sister refuses to acknowledge me! I simply wished to spend time with my dear sister! Oh, the humanity..! My dear sister, if you can see this, please reconsider your cruel and coldhearted decision! Your brother misses you so!

[Sure he may have been a little overbearing with her, checking in on her a bit more than was necessary, but he had missed her! Being blocked on the Shellphones was hardly fair, in Lyney's humble opinion! He clearly didn't do a single thing wrong!]

[...Okay no he may have been quite annoying and irritating to his introverted sister and pushed her to block him because of his overbearing-ness, but like hell is he admitting that.]

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!

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: Hatching Time
Warnings: None

[ Initially, only Claude's face appears on the feed, alongside is wyvern. She is resting her chin on his shoulder and that hand of his is giving her a pat pat pat. So much patting. ]

I'm sure you all remember me talking about this several moons ago, but hey! The time finally came. I was starting to get a little worried, considering I have no clue what the incubation time for wyvern eggs are here. Everything went smoothly though, I promise. They actually hatched a few days ago, but I wanted to give them some time.

[ Now the video feed shifts, away from Khalid and Azita, and onto the little baby wyverns. Special guest star Leona is also present, already holding a small lizard in his arms. Seems like it's already attached. There's another one, in Claude's arm. ]

Leona and I are going to be co-parenting these kids for a little while so -

[ Unfortunately, Claude gets cut off. With Leona shoving the man's face, ears folded back. ]

Don't say it like that.

[ Too bad Khalid is unbothered, catching Leona's hand and winking. ]

Sorry, gorgeous. I meant co-parenting the hatchlings. [ Another laugh and moving right along. He's looking at the camera once more, ignoring the grumbling from behind him. ] As you all can probably tell, one little one is spoken for. I don't know about this one, so we'll just have to wait and see.

Ironic that they'd hatch while we're having issues with wild wyverns.

emet_sulk

[ Emet-Selch looks a little harried and stressed today when the video feed begins. There is a little axolotl clinging to a front lock of his hair, gently chewing. He either doesn't notice or doesn't care as there is urgency to his gaze and tone. ]

Should anyone encounter a pair of ambystomae - I mean, axolotls - with a carnivorous tendency, please abstain from killing them immediately and inform me of their location. I need to return their child to them.

[ This won't stop anyone killing the many axolotls involved in the search but he has to hope he finds the parents before they're accidentally killed. ]

Subject: Hiring for the Mostro Lounge

Warnings: Capitalism?? In all seriousness nothing yet but will add if something comes up.

[Today, Azul Ashengrotto appears on camera, smiling brightly. In fact, he seems to be in a much better mood than he has been for the past month or so, given the good cheer in his tone that accompanies his words when he speaks.]

Hello everyone, this is Azul Ashengrotto speaking. For those who do not know me yet, I'm a mage capable of crafting potions and spells, among various other unique skills to help any unfortunate souls in pain or need. I would like take this time to announce some exciting news regarding my business, the Mostro Lounge: as of today, I not only have my shop available to come and commission me for your magic needs, but the Lounge itself is now available for those who wish to pay a visit!

[He moves the camera now, showing the inside of the Lounge side: it almost looks like a night club, with deep purple hues with the walls and decorations. Azul appears to be sitting at a bar counter, and as the camera moves, viewers will be able to see tables and chairs, a bookcase that appears to have board games instead of books, as well as what looks like a small stage set up for musicians or other performers as Azul speaks.]

Consider this a place to come and relax, or for taking part in games to play as I have been considering establishing a game club of sorts for board games and the like. Anyone who wants to put on a performance or some type of entertainment may also use the stage for playing instruments or having talent shows of some kind if desired. I will accept any offers for those who want to do just a simple event once in a while or make a regular job out of performing for the Lounge: just let me know what works best for you.

[Azul brings the camera back around to face himself again.]

Speaking of which, in addition to entertainment, I am currently hiring anyone looking for work in general. I would appreciate any offers for helping with upkeep at our business, whether that be keeping the Lounge clean, serving drinks, working the front desk, or so on. This also goes for anyone who may be able to help with my shop, as I will still be accepting offers for my other business of making and selling products, magic-based or otherwise. If there is anyone who would like to assist with deliveries to customers that are unable to come directly to the Lounge, it would most certainly be appreciated.

There is currently no deadline for hires. If you are interested in a job position, send me a message and I will set up an appointment for a job interview in my office here to go over the hiring process.

As for those who are looking to come and visit the Lounge, you will need to pay for any drinks ordered, or for attendance to any special events that are planned so that the performers are paid properly for their work, as well as assisting with keeping the business running. I'm sure you understand, yes? Otherwise, there is no entry fee at this time to come in and hang out with your friends or play with any of the games provided. As for business hours for when we are open, I am still working on that since I will need to come up with a schedule that best fits any prospective employees, but I myself should be available between the hours of 8am at the earliest, and 11pm at the latest for the time being. If you have any other questions about the Lounge, or if you need my services for anything else in general, please do not hesitate to ask!

Subject: Follow Up Survey
Warnings: Subtle unsubtle bragging, and Gay

This is Alhaitham.

I have a survey for people to respond to. Those who have filled up my previous survey from last year may consider this as a follow up of sorts to it—those who have not are free to respond to this one all the same. Regardless, there are similarly no restrictions or stipulations to the nature of the responder; the only thing that I request is for honesty when filling this in.

1) Are you currently in any sort of romantic relationship? (Arrangements made purely for physical reasons do not count.)
2) Does an institution of marriage exist in the world that you come from? Does it play any sort of significant cultural role? Feel free to describe as much or as little as you want.
3) Do you consider the idea of marriage important? What is the primary endgoal in any romantic relationship that you pursue?
4) What do you envision as your ideal future with a partner?
5) What does the concept of 'home' mean to you?

You are free to leave your answers in this post or direct them to my inbox. I will follow up on whatever answers that I feel are necessary.

Thank you for your time.

This is something I've been wondering for a while. It seems that I have been slacking off on my abilities lately.

While I'm not the best when it comes to machines, I do want to do my best.

Is there something I can make for you? Or perhaps fix?

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. ]

Given current events, I've had a few projects I've been pondering. I don't suppose anyone would be interested in making handmade fireworks? With precautions taken, of course, these are just for fun at festivals.

While I'm on the subject, how many of you are familiar with cameras, or other ways to take pictures, in your own worlds? Would you mind telling me much about them.

Ah, and one more thing. I've been considering getting some people together for a research project, of a sort. Or I suppose, something like a study group and a book club. I'd like to discuss it in person, though, so please feel free to drop by the Cafe.

[Being unable to actually be around some of his friends thanks to whoever controls the magic tattoos getting all pissy? Really freaking sucks. There's lots he's planned this month, but he can't enact it without dealing with the tats scorching him and whatever Paladin's close by. And while he can handle a little burning -- he douses himself with boiling water like it's nothing for crying out loud -- he'd rather not put someone through that.

That all being said? He doesn't plan on letting that put a damper on his good mood. After all, there's something he's been stewing on for a long time ever since they found that abandoned coliseum. Something he, and undoubtedly a good chunk of people in Escordvi, won't let go to waste.

The network pings to life with the starting up of a camera feed, revealing one Ranma Saotome. Sitting on a large piece of stone, in a sweatshirt and shorts, and sweating buckets worth.]

Yo! [He casually sets his phone beside him so those viewing could get a better look at his surroundings. The teen looks to be in the middle of a fighting pit with vacant stands in the back, undoubtedly stretching all around.]

I'mma cut right to the chase: The guys and I found this ancient, awesome coliseum on our island. Massive place too, the camera doesn't do it enough justice, you've gotta see it for yourself. [A fervent grin cross up his face, meeting his eyes equally as ardent as his smile. He was evidently having a hard time sitting still with how giddy he was. It was like a little kid on Christmas morning.] Which is why I wanna put this place to good use in the next months.

[After he gets it up to snuff, and without the tattoos impeding a match.]

So, whaddaya guys say? Who all can fight? Better question: who's up for a good, no-holds barred fight?

I'm sorry but you got the wrong person, I'm not...!

[Before he could even say anything, there were guards telling him otherwise. In that moment, it was clear from all the yelling that this mysterious voice was being taken somewhere. The sound of swords could be heard but he was clearly outmatched.]

What makes you think that I'm the person?

[And yet, before he could even finish, that's when another voice could be heard. Calm as he was, there was yet another fight that could be heard.]

Wait, Alhaitham, you can't do that! We'll be in bigger trouble!

[Although, that's when there were more guards coming in. Immediately, in that moment, Freminet panicked before everything turned silent.]
