WANTED: metal

I've been sorely neglecting my store of materials these last few moons, and as it happens, I'm running low. I'll compensate anyone who brings me some metals, and I will take everything you can give me. Ore, sand, old weapons, anything.

If you can get it to me in Nakagawa the next fortnight or so, I'll pay double.

[The feed clicks on right as Castor finishes getting settled, her focus somewhere offscreen.]

All set, Kupo!

Thanks Ben'. Mornin'! Hope I'm not wakin' any of ye, but nows as good a time as any I suppose. S' been an eventful month, what with Ganeshan an' his antics but I've been doin' some pokin' about since we learned about the Dreadwyrm and loath as I am te admit te it, I think we need te find some more Eidolons; 'specially the other Great ones. Phoenix an' whatnot.

At any rate, I'm plannin' on taking a look in the Sakura Forest, up by Von Oktavia. Stories say an Eidolon makes 'is home there an' I figured it's as good a place as any te start lookin. If anyone wishes te join me, let me know! The monsters there are no joke, so I'd be happy for a few of ye at my back.

If yer interested in comin' along, let me know, yeah?

[ Huh. Here is an unusual thing. Futaba is not usually one to use voice (or anything besides text) on the network. Maybe she wants to reassure other people with her voice and to hear theirs? Maybe it has something to do with the fact that her voice is still a bit muzzy with sleep. Maybe text requires more coordination than she has right now.

Either way, she's got an important post from her sort-of-brother to follow up on. ]

So.

[ There's a long, pregnant pause. ]

How many other memes are you all familiar with? Scientific curiosity.

[ She's been getting reputations up until now. The girl who gathers information. That one who really really mistrusts the Curti Center and is not afraid to be vocally critical of it. But it's past time she showed the world here who she truly is-

a shitposter. ]

I dunno if you guys have seen it, but...

[The feed starts off to the sight of Red reclining in a cockpit chair, with a drone of engines in the background and a passing of clouds in the windows surrounding him. Someone's more than a little bit proud of his airship finally flying again, it seems.]

There's some big new project goin' up by Curti Center, right? Well, back at the festival, I got talkin' with the guy that's settin' all that up. And I don't think he'd mind if I drummed up a li'l excitement in the meantime.

[His usual toothy grin quickly returns to his face.]

Two words: Monster Arena. Go ahead and think back to the biggest, greatest monsters you've gone up against, here or back home-- and keep those memories fresh, 'cause apparently that's what they're gonna be usin' to make the battles! I didn't know we even had that kinda tech here in Vaikuntha...

Now, I know not everyone here enjoys gettin' their hands dirty, but for those of you who do-- Got any awesome fights or big beasties you wouldn't mind givin' another go? I'm sure some of us might get some useful trainin' and experience out of it.

Oh, and speakin' of...

[He tips the camera over to his face, with a focused stare and a more personal and fond grin.]

Keep an eye out for me in the next Dragons match. They're finally gonna be bringin' me out to the field.

Just in case anyone was concerned... Futaba Sakura is, well— sleeping. I know that she's made quite a few friendships since arriving here in Vaikuntha, on top of all the information she's been archiving for all of us otherworlders, so... I don't think she would want any of you to worry if you've noticed her absence over the past few days.

It's sort of like— needing to recharge her batteries. It might last days or weeks depending on how much rest she needs, but this is just the norm. She wanted to make sure that anyone who might be anxious about disappearances knew that she was still here and not— gone, since it seems like that's happened to us again recently with some familiar faces.

If there's any message you'd like to pass a long for when she wakes up, feel free to leave it with me. If we haven't met yet, call me Ren.

Alternatively, you know... press "F" to pay respects.

Hey, everybody. Since I'm not exactly sure that the Kali Whatever linkshell is secure anymore considering that weird encoded user, and nobody else is taking the initiative to do this thing that is probably really urgent, we should probably direct world-saving business to something new I'm setting up. Yes, me, Frisk. That one twerp in the extraordinarily fashionable, yet ostentatious tuxedo-dress at the dinner that asked all those relevant questions, if you didn't know me before. I'll be handing out the invite codes in person just in case, so if you're interested in getting our collective butts organized to stop the apocalypse you should be able to find me at the Center on afternoon weekdays or the Ninja Guild on Sundays. I generally spend Saturdays out in the field training mad skillz, so I'll be scarce then. Anyways, uh, yeah, that's my piece. If anybody else wants to take charge once this is all set up please do, I am super not cut out for this responsibility thing.

[OOC: To keep from putting a potentially important thing on a personal journal, it'd be probably easier to tag mognet logs posting to the new Linkshell as HoLv2 in addition to text/audio/video/whatever.]

[Set before the Imperial Dinner, after Vax gets back from the Dream Width. DOIN' THE TIME WARP.]

Have any of you ever disappeared before? I think I must have been in the Dream Width. I woke up on an airship.

It looks like it has more than I thought could happen out there. I've gotten some new memories of things back home.

[It was a long and hard fight to wrestle her tablet from Kuposagi, but Yotsuyu was determined. Yotsuyu may not be somebody for conversation, or team work, or other people, but she does know how to look after herself. If that means working with others, she will (begrudgingly) cooperate.]

[That doesn't mean she trusts anyone here, though. Not by a long shot.]

We were invited here as guests of the Empire. As their friends. We were invited to partake in this so-called "Festival of Light," and I see many of you have chosen to do so.

But I want to make one thing abundantly clear.

The Empire is not our ally. They are not our friends. This is a distraction, and they will turn on us. They probably think we are easy prey; naive heroes from other worlds.

I don't know about any of you, but I do not plan to fall so easily.

What we need is information. To find any weaknesses we can. Use this charade to your advantage; if the Empire thinks that they will play us for fools, act the part, and use this opportunity to pull the rug from under them.

What's the date?

[You might be somewhat startled by the suddenness of Castor's message, or even by the urgency in her voice. Maybe you're surprised because this is the first hide or hair you've seen of her in seven full days.

Also, she looks like hell; Sallow and wan and with eyes that look just a little bit red. There's also the faint sliver of something dull and metal along the bottom of the camera - an object in her lap that can't quite be discerned. ]

Please I...I went lookin' fer somethin've mine that ended up in the Width an' I...Althyk keep me, this date ain't right, is it?

((oops someone got canonbump'd!))

[The morning of July 7th, everyone’s slates receive an audio message. At first, there’s only static and the sound of someone tapping the screen as if they’re trying to turn on video but are unable to. There’s a gentle sigh of frustration followed by a gasp as the owner realizes it’s on.]

Ah...! Hello? Hello? This is Azusa...that’s to say, I’m Azusa, um...I don’t know how long I have, ever since I dropped this in the water on the way over.

[The voice is a little hard to hear, but that should explain it: water damage.]

I haven’t seen anyone in a long time...I was trying to reunite a lost child with her mother, but we ended up finding her on an airship...and then her father was on a fishing boat...and I’m not sure where I am anymore. Goodness, what am I going to do?

[She taps the screen again, trying to turn on video, but there’s no luck here.]

I’m not far from the beach, but...it’s too late at night for me to be watching for ships. And...there’s really no one here, is there? What am I...

[And with one last, loud bust of static, the message ends.

Replies will come after she’s been rescued and her slate has been repaired.]

( Read more... )

So...

We have what? A month or two left at Curti Center?

Has anyone figured out where the fuck they want to move to yet?

littlemhigan

Okay now just hold it still, fuzz--Oh, Hello!

[All at once, Castor slides into frame and waves at the camera quickly. She can't see her own video to know that her eyes are appearing very red.]

Anyone out there know where a lass can get some flags made? I need tw--oh no, hold a moment, yeah?

[Her hand comes close to the camera, and judging by the change in sound, it is in an effort to smother the microphone. It's only somewhat successful, as Castor's voice carries, but it's not like to blow your ears out.]

Irhya! Where are you from?

[There's a beat of silence before a faint answer comes from offscreen.]

Hyrstmill, why?

Jes' curious... [Her hand comes off the mic and Castor turns her attention back to the network]

Apologies. I need three flags done - a black one, a purple one and a yellow one. Even if ye don't know someone who can do it, do ye know where I might find the materials to have a go at it myself?

mech_and_mutt

I didn't know we were gonna get the chance to get our own airships! I know I missed being able to wake up and see nothing but sky and clouds out the window. Made drying the laundry a lot easier, too.

But that kinda got me thinking- you couldn't get very far without an airship back where I came from, but a lot of the people I've talked to have said they've never seen anything like them before! I know a few people here have had SOME sort of flying machine back in their world, though. If yours did too, I gotta know- what were they like?

For that matter, how many other pilots do we HAVE here, anyway?

[ The screen blips on to Hunk, reclined across a couch. Balmogra the moogle's pom-pom occasionally drifts into the top of the frame, and Hunk's eyes keep glancing towards it. As he starts talking, he's entirely oblivious to the fact that his voice is high-pitched and squeaky. ]

Hey, so with other people asking about things like our stories, our worlds, and our jobs, I realized that we don't actually know a lot about what we can all do! Like... I learned that some people have never been grocery shopping before! Or some can't cook! Or some people don't know how technology here works. Since we're all stuck here, we might as well try to help each other out, right? So what are some things you know or want to know?

Me, I know about cooking and engineering and mechanics. But I don't know anything about magic. Or how to defend yourself from a monster that's up close and trying to eat you. Or how to use a giant fork in a fight? Or why they use forks here to begin with.

[ He pauses for a moment, looking almost uncomfortable, and then- ]

And if you're embarrassed to say something you can't do, you can always send it to me and I'll mention it for you!

Hey everyone!

The trip around Vaikuntha has made me realize we barely know anything about what everyone's homes are like, don't we? It's important to learn more about this world if we're to live here, but it's even more important to get to know each others if we're going to live here together. I think we could learn a lot by sharing neat details about what our homeworlds are like.

I come from a planet called Earth. We have no magic or magitek, no jobs or monsters between cities. Most of these things belong to the realm of fantasy and imagination where I come from. It is what the people of my world excel at, creating stories and imaginary worlds with words and images for people to enjoy. We have technology kinda like what they have in Oktavia, but not as advanced.

But anyway, that's it for my homeworld. If you'd like to share what your world is like, I'd love to hear what you have to say.

Thanks for reading,
Monika

[ Well Corrin seems in pretty decent spirits, all things considering. NO, she hasn't heard anything about her other siblings. Or friends. At least two of them are here and that's a start. Also this world tour thing? Definitely good for Corrin. She's pretty excited to be traveling to see all these places. ]

So... Jobs! At least we're not going to be completely powerless here after all. It's a little comforting. I didn't really want to sit around and not contribute in some way.

[ Since she's had enough of being cooped up and unable to leave. ]

I've met a few people here already and they've been great. And all these Jobs look interesting. That's why I'm curious. What Job to you think you're going to go with?
