[There's a face that hasn't been seen for a few months on the network. Still, it's hard to forget someone who has black smudges for eyes when viewed either on video or in a photograph. Leo looks very much the same as the last time he was here, although there's a weary air about him, like he's not been able to rest in quite some time.

He just gets straight to the point, not in the mood to beat around the bush.]

So, what did I miss?

ghostlocked

hey hadriel. two things.

thing one is that im the mystery guy that got attacked by the uh weird tentacle creatures those other guys mentioned. keith and steak ig?
i managed to learn a lil abt them before they fuckin killed me. o lmao thats one thing i learned. theyre strong as hell. keep ur distance if u run into any.
i fight scary monsters for a living back home. the fact that they managed to take me out is saying something.
anyway i have a spell that can read minds. it doesnt work on animals and shit. just intelligent creatures. it worked on them.
what i got was confusing af but the gist is that they were scoping out the city. theyre not happy that were here and they see us as a threat. thats why they killed me. i think they were trying to stay hidden but theyre shit at camouflage.
whats weird is that i didnt get linear thoughts so much as. idk. how they were feeling?
and that shit was all over the fuckin map. like they were flippin thru emotion channels. it was weird.
idk what to make of it but it didnt seem natural. maybe the door was influencing them or smth. not sure.
o and i got a shitty pic.

[He attaches said shitty pic. Its eyes are glowing blue.]

i know it sucks but two secs after i snapped this that fucker was goring me with its gnarly ass beak so it was the best i could do.
theyre big fuck off shellfish. whats the one with the spiral shell that zips around backwards? its that.
theyre fast and those shells are thick af so theyre tough to damage. my spells didnt do much against em.
be careful. judging by what i got from the mindreading i have a feeling theyre not done w. us.

anyway. thing two.
apparently i scared some ppl. sorry.
yes i died. it sucked. more important im fine now. ty hope.
o i cant do magic atm tho. my focus didnt come back to life w. me. rip guitar pick.
if anyone wants magic lessons im still offering but ill be out of commission for a couple weeks prob. making a new one is gonna fuckin blow.
but there. thats all my updates.
seriously watch out for the fuckin punk ass zippy upside down ocean snail things.

[ooc: everyone give it up for ALEX our nathan drake player who drew the nautilus monster image that the mods sent me!! and also SORRY ALEX for shittily cropping and motion blurring your amazing artwork!!!]

Thanks to Sorrow, I am here. It's good to see that you've managed to survive this long - I am afraid you will need to provide for yourselves a little longer. I simply don't have the energy to begin restoring your food supplies. Neither does Sorrow, who spent what he had to find me.

For now, all I can do is restore those of you who have died. I'll try to recover my strength as quickly as I can. Until then, take care of each other.

[ Curufin stands on the frozen surface of the lake in front of a small wooden shed the size of your average ice-fishing shack. The door is open, and through it you can see a three-foot-wide hole in the ice with water and slush oozing out. It is easily large enough to dip a bucket in, maybe a washtub, too. There is a shelf built into the back wall which holds pails, plastic bottles, and other useful containers that he and helpers found in the shops. ]

I've got a couple of announcements. The Fire Brigade and the Elfhouse have collaborated along with some of our other friends on three projects to provide some useful supplies:

1) I've chopped a hole in the ice here, near the north bank of the lake. There's WATER available for anybody who wants to come down here and get it. If you come down through the city center past the Sewing Shop and head straight for the lakeshore, you can't miss the kiosk. You'll see it sitting on the ice, not too far from shore. We're going to come down every day and make sure the hole doesn't freeze over, so water will always be available. If you're having a hard time with the weather or are not physically able to tote heavy buckets or containers, let one of us know, and we'll fetch the water to you wherever you live.

2) WOOD for fuel purposes. Heat your house or cook with it. My brother Maglor and I and the Firefighters ripped up the planking of the piers before the gods moved us here. We dried it out and stacked it in several places for distribution: the currently empty units in Delight's Housing; the Firehouse; and in my forge shack. Let us know if you want some of this lumber for fuel or building, and somebody will meet you and help you carry it home. We also burned some of it to make charcoal, which is easy to use for cooking purposes, and that we put into sacks to hand out. My boat is drawn up on the shore of what was South Island a few days ago, and I'll offer it as fuel, as a last resort. Otherwise, I'm saving it for building purposes.

3) FISH for tasty, nourishing food! The Elves and Sansa Stark worked hard for a week preparing my last few boatloads of fish from before the move. Two fish products are therefore available. We salted and dried some of it, which you can pop in a pot of boiling water and make soup of. The rest we smoked, so it's cooked and you can therefore eat it as is. Come and get it at Delight's Housing #06. We'd also be happy to offer some of this cache to anybody who wants to help distribute it -- the Bakery? The Speakeasy? Anybody who'd be interested.

[OOC: And anybody who wants to say their character helped with any of these projects can let me know at

tangyminx and I'll edit your character into this post. Also, any character in the aforementioned list of collaborators can respond to those who comment here, if they feel like it.]

[Set after this while he recuperates in Hope's temple.]

[When Leo starts the video, the first thing to note is that he's splattered in something so dark it's almost black in color and a little thicker than human blood, more like oil than anything else. It might take a moment to realize that it is his blood, a Sunai's being different than a normal human being's. Despite it being soaked into his skin and clothes, it doesn't look like he's injured in any way. His eyes have the usual black smudgy state going on, two black stains where they should be, but even without being able to really see them, it's clear he's mad.]

Y'know, I've played nice the entire time I've been here. I've killed one person, sure, but she asked me to. But other than that I've been minding my own damn business and staying out of the high school bullshit drama you all seem to love to engage in.

So I'm gonna give all you all one final warning: if any of you fucks try to kill me again, you better make damn sure it sticks, because if I survive, the gloves are coming off. I will go biblical on this place and see how many of you I can take with me before something puts me down for good. Maybe you'll all get a fucking clue after I rip a dozen or so souls out before I'm done.

[And then he's done, snapping the video off with a curt motion. He knows this will likely get him in hot water with people, but at this point, he's done caring.]

[while Margaery may be in her usual place in the Sewing Shop, that's not what she's choosing to address. not this time.

sure, she's dressed up as usual, she has her sword laid across her lap and visible in the frame of the video.

she's also not wearing her usual bright smile. instead, her expression is deadly serious]

As I'm sure we're all aware, the demon has been temporarily been . . . put out of commission. Now, this is not the place to debate the wisdom of vigilante justice. Dr. Sweets appears to have that well in hand. No, what this is is the place to discuss what measures may be taken to prevent the demon from taking its rage out on the entirety of Hadriel.

The gods will do nothing. Tranquility told me himself that they will only take action if they themselves are threatened. So we're left to fend for ourselves. We must make our plans ourselves and it would be far better to have those plans coordinated well in advance of its release.

So I am directing this to anyone who has ideas for what to do when the demon is inevitably released back into the populace. Surely there are those with powers or skills which could prevent it from going on a murderous rampage. Now is the time for those people to step forward and offer their ideas.

Thank you for your time and attention.

「It's been a while since he's made a video post in which he looks actually serious, he doesn't look sad for a change, just thoughtful.

When he finally speaks he does it uncharacteristically (for him) quietly, even though, firm.」

How do you deal with loss?

When people leave this place or, when you know you will never see someone you care for again?
When they pass away.
Do you try to forget about them... or... 「No, that thought actually hurts.」

What is that helps you to move on?

「If they do at all.

This has been in his mind ever since Maedhros and Celebrimbor were gone, and even way before. He didn't knew them personally, but he could see how much pain their departure had caused — only one person had made him feel that way, but it wasn't Yugi who left, it was him. Atem left them all and he cannot help but wonder, was he the cause of grief among his loved ones, the ones that survived him when he decided to give up his life, and then when he had to move on from the world of the living a second time?

He doesn't wish to think so highly of himself, but it's hard, specially when all his life the world did use to revolve around him. But he worries about those he left behind, they would be fine, wouldn't they? Heh, if only they knew he hasn't moved on at all, that he still talks to his partner in his head all the time... What a little hypocrite.」

「private text: Kaiba Seto」

Mokuba is gone.

「But Atem is sure he already knows. He doesn't expect a reply.」

redwinekindofgirl

So, uh, hey everyone. Julie here. [Wave!]

It looks like, um... Serah's gone, if you knew her, so that's something. But-- [She takes a breath, seemingly steeling herself against the news she just gave out. Serah was - is - her friend, and she'll miss her.]

But before she went, we were talking to Tranquility about planting some trees outside his temple. Looks like that's not the only place that could use it though, right? [The smile that comes to her face is small and crooked, a little awkward. She hadn't been to the other islands in a while, but when she did... People have been busy.]

I did some farming back home, but I don't think I can plant a whole forest by myself. Soooo... anyone want to start a project? Bet there's people here who can make seeds sprout by magic, right?

[The post starts with an embedded image of a bedazzler sitting on a shelf in one of the Hadriel shops. Innocent enough, right?]

[This is followed by a series of images of items that Tucker has helpfully pre-bedazzled.]

but yall better hurry to the stores
bc i got sequins and shitty plastic jewels for days

[ Cashmere is really dolled up. excessively so, one might say - her hair is big and curled, her makeup looks like she's expecting a photoshoot to begin any minute now, and she's wearing a blue-green dress with a low cut neckline. is there a club in Hadriel? because that's where it looks like she's going. even the lighting is fantastic, giving her a sort of glow. ]

Hello! [ she blows a kiss to the camera. ]

This morning I thought to myself: we need a little fun around here. And what better way to have fun than a party in my honor? I've taken care of all the details, so all you need to do is show up at my place tonight, dressed to impress.

You're excited, I'm sure. It is a truly generous and amazing thing for me to do. Feel free to tell me how excited you are, and your favorite thing about me.

See you there!

magician_king

Okay, I guess I'm a little overdue for this-

[Here goes nothing.]

My name is Quentin Coldwater. I'm a magician. I used to teach at Brakebills, and for a while, I lived in Fillory. I've got a pretty good grounding in physics and mathematics, and interuniversal travel. Normally I would consider myself able to claw my way out of this shit, but no dice this time.

Is there anyone here who knows anything about any or all of the above?

[He pushes his glasses up the bridge of his nose, a nervous habit.]

I would like to get the fuck out of here, if anyone has any, uh, inroads on that one. Novel, I'm sure, but we've all got to start somewhere. Cheers.

[ It's been a little while now, since Floki arrived in this world. He's had a lot to deal with, emotionally when it comes to the Gods here. Believing that any interaction, involvement or acknowledgement of them is a direct insult to his Gods, the real Gods!

It's also taken him a while to get used to the communication devices. Floki is fluent in Runes, one of the lucky and knowledgeable Vikings that managed to teach himself how to communicate through them. Floki could read and write, understand and create tales through this means, yet the phone device he was given? This was all new and strange.

So, here he was. The first appearance over the network sat in what looked like a beautifully crafted, ornate wooden Viking boat. The head was of Fáfnir, the mythical Midgard Serpent. Floki slumped against he neck of the dragon, a smirk-like sneer pulled over his lips. He placed the phone on the side of the boat, freeing his hands so that he was able to pick up a rather large wooden statue he'd handcarved himself. ]

May the Alföðr himself, bless my boat.

[ Raising both arms to the sky, fingers twitching in random movements, a strange chirp of a giggle left his lips before he stroked the statue with one hand, a gesture of praise with his other, moved down his forehead before kissing the knuckle of his thumb. ]

The true Gods should be pleased to see someone still worships them. I shall be blessed a bountiful life so long as I reject these false deities... And you should all be wise too, turn your back on their lies, for Odin is forgiving of the ignorant and blind but not those who will turn their backs in blasphemy.

[ Turning his head aside, Floki spat at the ground as if he was so disgusted in what he was saying, disgusted that people here fell for the glamour these so-called Gods had them under. ]

(Sansa's Tully blood has surfaced enthusiastically thanks to their new environment, taking her somewhat by surprise. She is dressed in a white shift and she is barefoot, standing on a rock near the sea. Her auburn hair is plaited neatly down her back and she is smiling at the rolling waves below.)

I don't believe I have ever learned how to properly swim. I need lessons; can anyone provide?

(Or there's just the "jump in the water and figure it out" method. She would rather not go about it so crudely.)

The water looks refreshing. Is it cold? The sun must warm the uppermost layer, but the depths have to be freezing.

stealyoursoul

[Since his powers had come back, Leo has been seized with one thought in mind. He's got to find something to eat. Or rather, someone, a sinner with a soul dark enough that it'll satisfy him. He's got an idea, which is likely not going to endear him to a lot of people, but he doesn't give a fuck. There's no introduction when the audio starts, just the sound of a guitar being played in an odd finger-picking style most players don't use.

It just sounds so nice, doesn't it? Like the most beautiful song you've ever heard. You just want to keep listening to it and hope it doesn't stop. Eventually, it sends all the listeners into a calm and blissful state, which considering how things are around here, isn't the worst idea in the world. It does also provide a compulsion to confess. It can be the telling of a regret never realized, someone's worst sins, or anything in between. When he's played for about a minute or so, he finally speaks.]

Anyone out there listening to this?

[If he's ended up putting anyone under his thrall, they'll most likely answer before they even realize what they're doing. Sunai songs are powerful things.]

[OOC: Good time to check out his permissions post beforehand so you and I can know your character will react and be affected!]

am_i_a_monster

[Her voice is hoarse from crying.]

Hello? Did I get this on? Can anyone hear me? Talk to me please. I..I hear things when I'm alone in the dark. And it's always dark for me now. So, yeah, just talk to me.

[ As if the flying monkeys weren't bad enough, Margo had disappeared. He'd spent days searching for his girlfriend with no sign of her. Seth wasn't sure if it'd been the damn monkeys or something else at play. He regretted separating from her and not having gone to Leo for help sooner. Or the network.

Seth wasn't giving his roommate a lot of grief under the circumstances. Leo had his own hell to fight with, being hungry and not able to eat. Seth couldn't talk. Literally. He couldn't make a sound. It was past laryngitis or being hoarse. Almost like a heavy reminder of where the trio had come from. The only positive side about it all was having gotten really good at texting.

Waking up was slow and disorienting in Hadriel. He cleared his throat, finding the task difficult. He smacked his lips and yawned. Another attempt to clear his throat and it was clear he still had no voice. Margo's things were around but still no sign of her. Seth rubbed at his face and sent out a message... ]

anybody out there run into a woman in her mid 20s? Kind of petite, a little over 5ft with an hour glass shape. Dark hair. Dark eyes. Goes by the name Margo or nickname Bambi. She knows magic. 

Id send a pic but not sure how to do that on here

Anyone have any suggestions, Id return the favor somehow

Shes my girlfriend and shes been gone a few days. Basically just before I woke up unable to talk. 

I figure if I woke up like this, she might be in worse trouble

Im Seth aka Clyde to Margo's Bonnie

[ He hated asking anyone for help but it was the only thing left that he didn't do. Seth laid in bed, wondering if Leo would knock on the door or respond with any news. Or anyone had any words of wisdom. ]

[It's late when Harlan folds and decides to go to the network for a distraction. He would vastly prefer not to do this, but, well. That's why it's called folding.]

hellosirs

[ First, he'd panicked. Suddenly being unable to speak was bad enough, but not being able to read or write was terrifying, and Angus had spent about an hour holed up in his room, trying to make sense of his books even though the text kept swimming out of focus. Some time with his family had helped calm him down, though, and it soon became obvious that this was the Turbo-Liches up to their usual fuckery. Things would go back to normal in a few days, but in the meantime, Angus was going to have to squash the fear down and try to figure out how to communicate, because miming things out could only get him so far.

Speaking didn't work. Writing didn't work. Typing didn't work, but... there was more than one keyboard on these phone things, wasn't there? Lup had shown him, once... ]
