Subject: Horse Training
Warnings: N/A

[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.]

Subject: Regarding Treachery
Warnings: CW; TORTURE, VIOLENCE

I am not one to suffer fools. When I find that not only has one of my crew taken it upon themselves to act beyond stupidly, and more so believed they could use me to their advantage...

A lesson must be taught. An example must be made. Behold, Escordvi- the price of treachery.

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!

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!]

Hello~.

[She waved cutely at the camera.]

I seem to have found myself in a bit of a predicament. One second I was on our ship and the next- I found myself here. Wherever here is.

Hey, Avalanche! Don't worry about me. I'm fine. No harm done.

But I could use a ride back to somewhere that my crew could find me later if anyone's in the area?

Hmm. Kinda reminds me of Costa del Sol. Oh, um. This area:

[She pans the camera around to give a view of her surroundings. Aerith isn't familiar enough to recognize it, but for anyone who might it looks like she might be on Latrommi island.]

Thank you!

seasaltkeys

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.]

Subject: Calling All Combatants!
Warnings: FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT

[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?

Warnings: nnnone?

[ good afternoon esco network!! today's video brings youuu...

and then drayton's arm coming into view to scoop this adorable noodle up and focus the camera on his face! which also brings into view the... three other dratinis draped around both himself...

and a very very unimpressed-looking kieran in the background. the dratini kieran is carrying is a cute shade of pink compared to its grey-blue siblings. ]

What's up! Man, we've had a fun couple of days. Turns out that whole Dragon's Gale thing doesn't mess around, even if the dragons aren't locals.

[ there is a slight strain in his cheery tone that might be attributed to the menacing dark aura kieran is giving off behind him while he says all this. ]

Long story short, we've ended up with this bunch'a baby Dratinis on our hands. They're cute as heck, and pretty well-behaved, but any Dragon-type that's gonna spend some time around humans should have some socialising. So we're givin' everyone a rare, excluuusive opportunity to interact with these adorable lil' guys while we, uh, decide what to do with 'em.

[ the dratini he'd picked up at the start makes a pleased trilling noise, one matched by the pink one kieran is holding. drayton smiles, still slightly strained, and lowers the camera so he's just out of frame and begins talking offscreen in hushed, but still audible tones. ]

Man, c'mon, at least say somethin'!

("Say somethin'?? This is your fault anyway! Why should I say anythin'??")

Again, how is this my-- ahh, hold on.

[ the feed ends with a clatter. ]

Subject: Going home briefly
Warnings: Death (temporary)

[ The video feed comes on to show Nimona, who some people may have noticed was missing for about three days. She looks fine and is smiling, and it looks to be a genuine one. ]

Wow wow wow. Going home is soooooo weird. Like I'd heard people forget all about this place, but experiencing it myself is a whole different thing. One minute I was here, and the next I'd forgotten a whole year and some change of my life.

[ Nimona flops back on a giant manta ray plushie. ]

It was a real wild ride being there. First I turned into a giant shadow dragon, again, and I get saved. Then this crazy lady turned a huge laser cannon on the center of the kingdom just to kill li'l ol' me. [ Cue the innocent expression. ] She was gonna kill so many people just to take me out.

[ She flips over on to her stomach, bringing her shellphone with her to set down. ]

Joke's on her! I turned into a huge fiery bird, flew across the kingdom and BAAAAM! [ Nimona makes one hand fly and smash against her other hand in a loud slap. ] Slammed into the fully charged cannon with my whole body and BOOOOOOOM! [ Both hands fly apart to mimic an explosion, complete with sound effects. ] We exploded! It was epic! She died, I died, and I don't think anyone else died.

[ Nimona jumps up onto her feet, raising a fist above her head in a victory pose. ]

Then I rose like a phoenix from the ashes! Now I'm back here.

[ She picks up the phone again to bring it close to her face. ]

And that's the story!

Warnings: He's so stupid you guys

[Darin clears his throat because forget typing all of this out.]

Okay guys, I need you all to settle a bit of an argument Zelda and I are having.

See, we were out shopping for furniture for our new place and she tells me I need a bed. I say "you're right, I do! I know just the type!" So I go and I show her the hammocks because back home, I slept in a hammock. So she says [Darin clears his throat and proceeds to do his best Zelda voice] "Don't be preposterous, a hammock is not a proper bed."

Which is wrong. Because a hammock is totally a bed. Lots of things can be beds. So, to prove my point, I made this chart.

As you can see by this chart that I spent entirely too much time on, the parameters that dictate an objects "bedability" are thus. I think it's a pretty open and shut case.

Anyway, I think this explains why I should be allowed to get a hammock in my room. You guys are on my side on this, right?

[Just...you know. Ignore how he casually dropped that they're living together because he's brain dead.]

WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS

This posting is listed in big bold swirly letters on all Manta Boards:

AHOY! HELP WANTED. THINK YOU’VE GOT WHAT IT TAKES TO BE THE FACE OF ESCORDVI’S VERY FIRST ADVENT CALENDAR? POST YOUR GLAMOROUS PICTURES TODAY. POST THEM NOW!

A group of collaborators is looking to put together Escordvi’s very first annual advent calendar. For its inaugural year, they want to compile a collection of pictures of beautiful riftfarers to represent each month. These pictures can range anywhere from beauty shots, to thirsty body shots, to tasteful fashion poses. Anything goes!

Have your character post their own (or their friends, enemies, boyfriends, girlfriends, dogs) photos to this network post. NPCS can also be used to post photos. Then feel free to comment around on the photos with which month or season you think would suit them best. Or just comment about how much you like the photos. Who’s hot? Who’s not? Or about how horrified you are that someone posted yours! Any and all feedback is needed so they can create the best calendar ever!

At the end of the month, an advent calendar for 2025 will be created! If there are enough submissions, there will be multiple calendars so don't be shy or think you'll be left out! For ease of use, the calendar has been broken down into the four seasons so that multiple themed shots can be posted. Get posting!

PLEASE USE THE FORMATTING CODE PROVIDED IN EACH TOPLEVEL! Putting the character's name in the subject line is optional but helpful for quick reference. Any who don't follow instructions will have their comment screened so it can be edited. This is mostly to ensure images are not too large and stretching pages. Please try to crop images to best fit the code, especially long ones. The code will automatically resize images to a max width of 300px, so an image with a 3:4 or 3:5 ratio would be ideal.

Subject: Testing 1, 2, 3

Warnings: Nothing to worry about. Just playing around with the shellphone.

[Before there was any imagine, only the sound of someone shuffling about with the device could be heard. A muffled 'Does this really work?' in a female voice followed shortly after. More unintelligible mumbling as suddenly a picture ~~of a rather unflattering angle of a drow's face from being held waaaay too close~~ flicked across the screen. A pair of pale white eyes widen in mixture of surprise and excitement.]

Oh! It really does work.

[There was a beat before the drow realized it wasn't just her seeing her own image, but that she was broadcasting it to everyone. There was another little small gasp as the video shifted. Being held out at the proper distance, one could see the woman squarely in the frame. Koh cleared her throat, giving a small wave with her free hand.]

Hello, sorry about that... I was testing out the functions I was told this device was capable of. I don't have anything like this where I am from so just.... familiarizing myself with it. It seems my visit here is a bit more extensive than I previously had hoped it would be. I... usually don't stay in one place for too long. I guess a formal introduction is in order.

My name is Kolnatha Shavval, but you can just all me Koh for short. In case anyone is in need of a healer, I am a cleric by trade. Which, on that note, would anyone happen to know where I can acquire medicinal herbs? Specifically ones that can aid in relieving motion sickness? [There was slight awkward pause.] I... don't exactly have my sea legs yet.

Hey, this is Ryotaro Dojima, part of the Raiders of the Lost Arts.

[Ignore that Strabby with a pink bow walking around in the background behind him... ]

I've been here for a few months now, and I've noticed a few patterns talking to folks about where and when they're all from. Call me curious, but I'm interested in actually getting info of this, making a record-- a census, I guess.

So-- If you guys wouldn't mind telling me; where are you from-- town, country, planet even if you can, and what year?

If you don't feel comfortable posting your information publicly, feel free to private message me.

[ A pause as he thought, before continuing. ]

--To be fair, I can provide my own. I'm from a small rural town in Japan, Inaba, on the planet Earth. It was 2012 when I arrived here.

--Ah, one last thing. If you remember where someone who was here before but vanished is from, I'll take that info too.

[ Reaching to turn off the phone as he spoke-- ]

Dojima out.

Would anyone like some ice cream?

[Currently Enty was doing something with one of her heavier, bomber aircraft. Loading what looked like milk and other items into a compartment onto... one of the wings!?

Anyway, she looked both busy, and giddy at the same time.]

seasaltkeys

[There is context to this, though how much you get might be dependent on how well you know Roxas. But it's been on his mind a lot, especially since last month with it's stormy skies led to him taking a pretty big hit from a harpy. Recovery's been a thing, and it gives you time to think, which maybe isn't the best thing.

Maybe it's just been fair to say that Roxas's confidence has been rocked a little. And maybe he's reached a point where he's ready to ask for help.]

I want to get stronger. How do I do that?

Subject: An ordinary book club.
Warnings: tba.

[Due to the Garuda Incident, this post is coming from a very bedridden Joshua who is recovering from some bad injuries. So, he’s bored and desperately running out of books to read.]

Good afternoon,

It seems I've found myself with a surplus of free time this month, and with that realization comes the stark truth—I've exhausted my reading list.

So, I had an idea. Why not extend an invitation to others who might be interested in joining the book club that Tifa and I have been enjoying? Every few weeks, we gather to exchange ideas and thoughts on the current book we're reading, and it's led to some wonderful discussions.

While our tastes have leaned toward adventure and romance novels thus far, I'm open to exploring books from other genres to diversify our collection. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Here are a few of the books we've read so far:

"The Swashbuckling Misadventures of Captain Bumblebeard"
"Enchanted Hearts and Dragon Flames"
"Spells and Sword Swells"
"Quest for the Heartstone: A Tale of Love and Sorcery"
"Siren's Song: A Pirate's Passionate Plunder"
"That Time I Got Drunk and Yeeted A Love Potion At A Werewolf"

Although, I’m still not entirely certain what “yeeted” means. I only assume it means, “to throw”?

If you might be interested in joining in on our next reading, please do. As well as I’m taking suggestions for more books that the group might enjoy.

Sincerely,
Joshua.

TWO TRUTHS AND A LIE

There have been a lot of riftfarers arriving lately. It seems like there have been more arriving than usual. So many different kinds of people from different kinds of worlds with stories to tell and experiences to give.

A little game has appeared on the shellphone network in hopes of getting to know just a little more about these otherworlders. You might find it on your shellphone as you’re scrolling through one day.

Tell the world two truths and one lie about yourself. And let others try and decipher which of the three is your lie. If they can guess right, perhaps you’ve been able to make a new acquaintance. Or in the least learn more about someone from another walk of life.
