To: Public
Subject: waterproofing charms
Warnings: none!

[FIRST: You get a very close shot of Lashan's eye as she squints at her shellphone. We have here that double-doozy of a medieval and an old person and while she's pretty sharp, these devices are not intuitive to her.]

'S it working? The bead's glowing.

[aka 'the light's on'. The video pulls back a bit but like, it's still pretty close and the angle is unflattering. This whole thing feels completely unnatural to her and the lines between her brows are deepened in a frown.]

I'm Sister Lashan. I'm a lay sister, not a nun. I've made some charms for waterproofing. They're not well-tested though. If you help me with that I'll give you one. Want to know their tolerances and if I have to tweak anything before I start selling them. I'm on Elrut.

[yeah this has made her feel ridiculous and stilted. She prods at the phone with a finger.]

...How do I- [she found out how to end message! this was Not guaranteed.]

Subject: free book available!
Warnings: just a very, very poorly written book! Possible mild spoilers for genshin impact up to patch 4.8 in comments, but nothing huge.

[Oh, it's Kaveh, waving at the camera. He looks...slightly damp? And Shadowlily appears to have burrowed into his shirt and is still grumbling at him LOUDLY the entire video.]

So I don't suppose anyone would be interested in a one-of-a-kind, annotated copy of a novel from another world, would they?

[Please. Please dear god take it from him.]

To: Everyone
Subject: Since everyone seems to like surveys around here, I've got one for you!
Warnings: Possible talk of canon deaths?

I've noticed that people around here like surveys and I thought I'd join in on making one! Some of you may know that our first year anniversary of our arrival here in this world is coming up real soon. Like two weeks - give or take a few days. So I thought I'd see who else has been here as long as I have! I feel like I've seen at least most of the "veterans" once or twice and if we haven't talked yet:

Hi, I'm Nimona!

Right... the survey! Feel free to answer anonymously!

1. How long have you been here?
2. Are there other people from your world here? (Optional: How many?)
3. Have there been people from your world that have already gone home? (Optional: How long were they here and how many?)
4. What was your first "event" in this world?
5. What's been your favorite "event" so far?
6. Are you here to live out the rest of your life, or are you looking for a way home? (Optional: Why?)

I'll answer it first!

1. 16 days away from a year.
2. Nope!
3. Like briefly one person on new arrival day and then never again.
4. Ghoul's Moon.
5. Same answer as above. It was pretty fun fighting all the undead. I guess the Masquerade Ball was pretty okay, too.
6. Maybe? I dunno, this world is a lot better for me than my own.

Now it's your turn!

Subject: Homesickness
Warnings: None off the top of my head that I can think of.

Been here a while. It's great exploring and meeting so many people I wouldn't have back home. Don't get me wrong.

I just can't help being homesick. Or, I guess, at least, missing my best friend. I know not everyone else here has ended up together with their friends or family. How has everyone else been dealing with it? Mikleo and I were together all the time back home, before I ended up here.

[Except that One Time they fought about Mikleo becoming a Sub Lord and joining Sorey in the pact with Lailah. But. Details.]

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.]

Subject: 🧍‍♂️?
Warnings: None

Figure it's normal that someone would come here and see people the likes of which they've never seen before. Makes sense, that. New place, new people.

Thing that's confusing me is, more folk here look like me than ever did back home. All skin, ears the shape of seashells, two eyes, somewhere on the short side of of the mean. We call people like me hume, back home. Or hyur? I think it was hyur. Something like that. We cluster together sometimes, big families and all. But most cities, you'd see all kinds of folk. And they'd be built to be used by all kinds of folk, too. Everything made for people of all sorts of sizes.

Here it feels like every other person is my size. And I don't know I've seen more than a couple doors that a zun could get through comfortably.

That's not normal, is it? For there to be so many hume and so few of everyone else?

Sender ID: pinksidekicking (Nimona)
To: General Public
Subject: Dragons
Warnings: Only maybe spoilers for Nimona movie

[ Please do not adjust your screens, there is, in fact, a pink gorilla appearing on the network. One who opens their mouth and a somewhat feminine voice comes out of. ]

You know, there are a lot of awesome things about this place. You can have a crew, no one's trying to kill you just because of being different, all the new foods, getting to explore the world, having ample opportunity to use fish and sea puns... breaking things sometimes. [ The gorilla is counting on their fingers. ]

Really, I could go on and on about why I love this world. [ It sounds like there's a- ]

But! You know what really gets me? We can't adopt dragons! Sure, they say "dragons can't be tamed", or "they're just too wild". [ Cue the quotation marks and the eye roll. ] But all I want in this life is a tiny pink mini-me dragon. Who better to try and be a dragon parent than someone who's also a dragon? At least a dragon on occasion.

Come on, you can't keep placing dragons in front of me and expect me to not want to adopt one of my very own! I am literally made to be a dragon parent, watch this!

[ The gorilla is setting up the phone to stand on its own, then steps back several feet before... with a little sparkle of pink magic - turns into a semi-large, equally pink dragon. It's holding out front arms like "ta-dah"! ]

Dragon parent Nimona!

historiology

Sender ID: historiology (Sorey)
To: Public
Subject: New Year
Warnings: no warnings.

It's a new year. I guess this does make me wonder. Depending on how long we are here. What this means for birthdays. If I'm here long enough and have a birthday here does that count still or? Cause I'm not sure how that might work here. Being somewhere else and all. Plus, if I had my birthday and Mikleo didn't back home that'd be weird. Being older than him like that, We've always been the same age, both seventeen at the moment. I mean I know seraphim live way longer than humans but still.

And this is when people sometimes have goals or wishes for the year right? Stuff they want to do? I haven't really thought of anything for mine besides seeing new places, exploring this place. Learning more about this place, sailing and helping people.

Subject: Holidays?
Warnings: N/A? He's just excited and curious

[Someone is excited and seems to be getting into the spirit, dressing up with one of the hats for the celebrations as he uses the phone. Look, Nimona, he figured this out and has totally got this now! Really.]

Hey! Did you guys all hear about the celebration coming up? That Frostsinger? With the sleigh and presents? That sounds neat. I want to help figure presents and ride in a sleigh too! I mean, This is just from what I am gathering from talking to the locals? The decorations and stuff. But it seems like fun so I want to help if I can. I guess there wasn't so much of that sort of thing back home or at least that we had a big deal like this back in Elysia. Did you guys all have something like this too? The presents and decorations and all?

Subject: Summoning other creatures and people
Warnings: None except maybe FFXVI spoilers in their respective threads?

[// PUBLIC PORTION //]
A curious question to my fellow riftfarers — to those who are capable of "summoning" or calling upon powerful beings or even people, how does it work in your world? Any particular requirements? Contracts?

And have you any luck doing so while here? Any changes you've discovered?

[This is a general broadcast type post, so anyone can threadhop if they'd like to swap stories or anything! Cid will be reading everything...with very keen interest.]

[// PRIVATE TO FFXVI CAST //]

In case you're wondering what this is about, while on that ghost ship a girl somehow managed to summon me from a rock she had—materia she called it. She also knew about Ramuh and some of the other Eikons from our world.

Given there was no warning and that she might not be the only one, thought I should give everyone a heads up. For now I'll be trying some tests with her to see how it works and will share the results.

Subject: Magic
Warnings: N/A

This last moon or so I've been speaking to several people about magic and the ability to use magic. Now I understand we all come from varying stars - worlds, realms, whichever you prefer - and the laws governing such arts may differ.

Thus I find myself curious about how others are able to cast their spells. I certainly wouldn't mind an exchange of knowledge on the topic. In fact, I've already offered to conduct some lessons to some individuals here as an experiment, of sorts. I, myself, am no great mage but I am capable enough, I should hope.

historiology

Type: Text
Sender ID: historiology (Sorey)

To: Everyone ( because even if he probably. Wants?? To maybe try figure not letting Eizen see this. Sorey is still figuring this out so prob has No Clue on filters....)

Subject: Timelines?

Warnings: idk nothing that bad? Probably? Mentions of something bad happening to someone here?? Sorey may or may not go into detail but basically. Zestiria/Berseria spoilers regarding Eizen.

I hope this is working? This is Sorey, if it is. I haven't really used something like this before but I hope I've figured it thanks to Nimona. Assuming this is working. I just wanted to ask. For those of you that know others here. If you remember more than the other person from home. If something happens, something bad, to them. I don't know. I want to tell them but I'm also not sure if I should? If it's my place? I don't know if that would change anything even if I were to say something. I still feel like being honest is the best, but I don't really. Know them that well? It's. Complicated....
