[Ah... This is a bit awkward. When the video feed begins, Papyrus fidgets slightly, though he tries to at least hold a smile.]

GREETINGS, MOGNET! IT IS I, YOUR VERY SAFE AND NON-THREATENING SKELETON, THE GREAT PAPYRUS!!!

[Always good to emphasize that for anyone who hasn't seen him wandering around. Just to be safe.]

ANYWAY, I. HAVE A QUESTION. WELL I GUESS IT MIGHT TURN OUT TO BE MULTIPLE QUESTIONS. BUT! FIRST!!! THERE IS A HUMAN NAMED FRISK. THEY ARE A VERY DEAR FRIEND OF MINE. THEY ALSO LOOK SOMETHING LIKE THIS...

[He pulls out a fairly accurate if somewhat rushed drawing of a kid with shoulder-length brown hair and a distinctly squinty expression- almost as if their eyes are closed.]

IF YOU SEE THEM, PLEASE TREAT THEM KINDLY! THEY'VE BEEN HAVING A... DIFFICULT TIME OF LATE.

[Awkward. Very awkward. No matter. Onto the meat of the subject.

There's a small pause before he clears his nonexistent throat.]

SO! ANYWAY. FRISK IS A VERY DEAR FRIEND, AND CURRENTLY THEY ARE IN MY CARE. NATURALLY, A SKELETON OF MY TALENTS IS MORE THAN WILLING TO RISE TO THE OCCASION AND PROVIDE FOR THEM! I AN AN EXPERT OF MANY THINGS. A VERY COOL DUDE WITH MANY SKILLS AND ALSO A MASTER AT THE ART OF FRIENDISM.

BUT... WELL. I'M NOT CLUELESS. I KNOW THAT TAKING CARE OF SOMEONE- EVEN SOMEONE AS CAPABLE AND CLEVER AS FRISK- IS. COMPLICATED. SO I SUPPOSE WHAT I WANT TO KNOW IS... WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO BE A GOOD, RESPONSIBLE GUARDIAN TYPE PERSON? NOT THEIR DAD BECAUSE THEY ALREADY HAVE A MONSTER DAD WHO IS ALSO SANTA. AND I'M NOT THAT MUCH OLDER THAN THEM, ANYWAY. BUT THEY'RE ALSO... I THINK THEY CALLED THEMSELF A TWEEN?

BUT REGARDLESS, THIS WORLD IS DIFFERENT. CERTAINLY MORE DANGEROUS, AND SINCE I'M TAKING CARE OF THEM, I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE I DO ALL THE RIGHT THINGS.

[Translation: How does he even adult? Send halp.]

The time has come. Looking for individuals willing to go to Lake Ira Friday the 13th in order to confront the masked killer and uncover more clues towards his motive.

euphemia

[ The feed begins with a young girl with pink hair who appears to seated in a room of some sort. Doesn’t seem like any room, but yes. After a moment, she smiles once she realizes the video began. ]

Hello everyone.

I hope that for those of you who just arrived you're settling in and adapting to things comfortably enough. I hope the experience thus far has not been too traumatizing in any way. I know it's a lot to take in, but I assure you that for those of us here before, we're just as baffled as you are about ... well, everything.

[ There is a pause as she looks off, contemplative and worried. After a moment, her attention falls back to the camera. ]

What I've come to learn recently is that we all seem to be in this together. As in—ah. As in literally. [ Pause. How to talk about this? ] I haven't had a lot of time to think about it but, uhm. Does anyone else recall experiencing some kind of fight with an army of creatures that looked like ... [ her voice lowers as she looks off. ] people I recognized.

[ Frowning. Concerned. Deeply. Seeing that person in that memory was jarring. Yet within moments, she lifts her head to continue. ]

I haven't found any answers to explain what happened. Not yet. However, I figured I should ask here and see if anyone had any similar experiences? Maybe talk a bit about it to understand? It was the only thing I vividly remember [ —there was another, but. ] and I feel there was a reason behind seeing it. I'm not even sure if it was even real?

[ Brows furrowed and eyes downward, she takes a moment to collect her thoughts before lifting her head again with a smile renewed. Positive time! ]

Ah! Forgive me! I didn't introduce myself. For those of you new, my name is Euphemia! I'm a White Mage and Nurse at the Yun'Ashia hospital. I'm also going to be starting school very soon there, too. It’s been a goal of mine to go back and finish my studies! Being a student and getting to go to classes again—I’m excited! Is there anyone else going to school? Maybe we can be study friends! Perhaps we can be study buddies? I will admit that I sometimes need a little help here and there, so please, let me know if you're interested!

As for the rest of you, if you need me for any reason, just reach. Or visit the hospital! Or call! I can do either of those things. I'm here to help.

[ Her expression turns a bit soft as she stares intensely at the camera. Solemn. A pause. ]

I hope everyone stays well. And ... take care of yourself, okay? Wherever you are.

[ A smile, albeit lacking the same mirth as her earlier one. With that, the video feed ends. ]

despairing_hope

Hello, my name is Komaeda Nagito. This is the first time I'll be addressing everyone, it's a pleasure to directly interact with everyone who was amazing enough to be styled a protagonist.

But first, let me get I to what I would like to talk about. There are two topics I'm interested in.

1: If you were ever in the world called Christallis, can you share your experiences there? Or agree to an interview?

2: Is there anyone I interested in archeology? Though not an immediate plan of action, I feel looking into that will bring I interesting discoveries.

[ VIP week at Sparks Golsaucia's still going on, true, but it involves a lot of loud noise and people and Futaba ain't here for that without the rest of her friends. So instead she's been working on something else. Something even the people who didn't join in can hopefully appreciate. ]

So. Got a few things for you all and a few questions in return, especially for the newbies.

First of all, I've got some notes for you all. Some of you might remember the post I made a couple months back. Been doing research since then, so I figured I'd follow up with my findings. The more this info is widely spread the better. Also if you've got anything to add from searches on your own, feel free to talk about it here or lemme know and I can add it. We may even want to have like... some kinda meeting to discuss this stuff?

I'm not organizing it though.

[ Nope. Nope. Not a chance. Putting together notes and tossing them out to the wind? That she can do. Organizing a bunch of people and talking to them and all that kind of thing? Nope. ]

Unfortunately this place doesn't have the internet, so I can't just make a website for these notes. Pretty much all I can do is make my files available for download as of right now, so I'll have to post an updated version periodically. Sucks but there's nothing I can do yet.

Anyway here's the file: file:vaikunthanotes

[ And next... ]

On that note, one of the big questions last time was about a strange little girl with blond hair who called herself Ashelia. She only turned up right after the new arrivals, and only spoke to a few people before disappearing again. Anybody happen to see her this time around? Looking at newbies especially for this one.

Also a Moogle that shouted some kind of doomsday prophecies about a "she," I guess.

[ She'll ask more questions if anybody actually happens to volunteer information. No point typing a lot up front if it turns out she wasn't even here.

And... as for the last thing. And the thing she's especially glad she's using text for. ]

Also... back on Earth, a lot of countries around the world happen to celebrate Father's Day on the third Sunday of June (sixth month). Which is... this one, I guess?

So. Happy Father's Day.

[ Especially to her own dad, even if... he isn't here... ]

[This video is strangely lit. Anyone who's been to Ka'Pandol would recognize the slight bluish tint the bioluminescent lighting gives everything there, and this bedroom is no exception. Though the only way one can tell it's a bedroom is that there's a on the screen, partly obscured by the young man draped upside down over the side, head resting on the floor.]

So, you all know about the tournament coming up, right? If you don't, you need to pay more attention because it's sort of a big deal. Anyway, I've got a proposal for anyone who wants a chance to make some quick gil and doesn't mind gambling.

Gambling isn't legal, kupo.

[The moogle interjecting is offscreen, and Gi huffs at her.]

It's perfectly legal! Just...not for kids.

You'll still get in trouble.

[He rolls his eyes this time.]

For anyone interested, I'm setting up a pool for the upcoming Blitzball tournament. It's two weeks away, I believe, but may as well gauge interest early. Let me know!

[Or let him know what you think of this video/gambling/sports/etc.]

alborada

[ Despite an... enlightening? conversation with a coworker, Sylvarie still found herself wanting more perspectives on a topic that had been increasingly nagging at her.

To ask those from different parts of Vaikuntha was one thing, but what of asking those who were from different worlds altogether? Maybe one could at least provide some sense of peace. ]

I understand everyone is still settling in to life here, trying to discover for themselves how our world works. But the truth of the matter is, those who have been recovered from the Dream Width have made their own contributions to Vaikuntha as well, with their technology, cultures and customs. molding our way of life over many generations.

With that in mind, I would like to ask what it means to be an 'adult' in your worlds, what responsibilities come with being deemed as such? Does it involve a rite of passage, or is a person merely proclaimed as such once they are of a certain age? Even here what a person may or may not do differs drastically depending on which country you are in.

... And would those adult responsibilities mean going to a chocobo festival is out of the question and childish?

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?

[Today you are all graced with the visage of the Mars marshal, who has finally decided maybe it's time he brings something up here on the network.]

Howdy folks. Name's Sparks Nevada, if we haven't met yet. Before this planet, I was on one called Crystallis. Though before that, I was on Mars, and originally, I'm... from Earth. Thing is, I know a few folks who're from Crystallis that are here, too. It was kind of a similar situation. Y'know, the whole getting dragged outta yer home to be forced to live on another planet with crazy magic and chocobos and all that stuff. The difference there was that we were all considered to be somethin' called "Heroes of Light" and we had to basically save the planet -- the whole multiverse, actually -- from gettin' annihilated. Yer welcome, by the way.

Thing is, there are sure a lotta coincidences on this planet. If the jobs and the races 'a folks and all that ain't enough of a clue, the place names are a dead giveaway. Half of them are named for the Heroes from Crystallis. Even I got one - Sparks Goldsaucia. Pretty cool. Reckon it's all a bit too much to be a coincidence.

Bonnie also brought up the map to me, and... [He looks that over in a separate window.] If ya squint just right, and slide some bits around, sure as heck does look like Crystallis. Durin' that whole apocalypse thing, the planet did get kinda messed up and broken, so I guess we wouldn't have known what the continents looked like after all that. Woulda taken some time to re-map, and I was only there for a month after the whole ordeal was over. Had a planet to get back to marshaling, ya see.

What's my point to all this? Guess my point is that I don't believe in coincidences. The universe is, like, both too big and too small at the same time for that nonsense, if'n that makes any sense at all. It does. I think.

Hey, everyone! Akamatsu Kaede here! Or.....Kaede Akamatsu if you're not Japanese, I guess. [She laughs at that.] Anyway, I hope everyone's settling in okay. It's pretty scary for a lot of us, being in a new world and all. Still, that's why us guys all have to stick together and work together. If we do that, then we'll all find some way to get home, so chins up!

Anyway, talking of working together, how many of you guys have the Bard Asterisk? I was talking with Monika-san not long ago at the bard's guild and it seems that a lot of bards are pretty protective of their instruments. And while I kinda get that you don't want to damage your instrument, it's kind of a pain having to put it down to get out your knife and start fighting. Also, is it really worth getting hurt for the sake of protecting your instrument? That said, fixing those things can be pretty expensive so it's kind of a dilemma.

So Monika-san came up with a great idea. How about we start an instrument repair funding group where we pool all our gil together? That way, we protect our instruments but save up on cash while doing so! Hmmm.....what do you think, guys?

[ 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!

( This is super open and threadjacking is possible and totally okay! )

[The feed opens on a... skeleton. A fairly cartoonish skeleton with goggles, a red cape, and a labcoat, in fact. A handsome fellow, in his not so humble uponion, though with the way his eye sockets are slightly narrowed, he may be ever so slightly frustrated. But only slightly! He's not one to embrace negative feelings.

But today, Papyrus has a very important announcement to make.]

GREETINGS, MY FELLOW OTHERWORLDLY TRAVELERS! THIS MAY ALARM YOU BUT I AM, INDEED, A SKELETON. NO, I AM NOT A ZOMBIE. NO, I AM NOT GOING TO SPOOK YOU OUT OF YOUR SOCKS. THAT WOULD BE RUDE. AND ALSO POTENTIALLY SCANDALOUS. WE DO NOT NEED STRAY SOCKS LYING AROUND.

I'M BRINGING THIS UP BECAUSE A STRANGE NUMBER OF PEOPLE SEEM SURPRISED BY THIS FACT, EVEN THOUGH SKELETONS MOVING AND TALKING AND BEING GENERALLY FRIENDLY AND HANDSOME FRIEND MATERIAL IS COMMON KNOWLEDGE. BUT PERHAPS SOME OF YOU DID NOT REALIZE THIS!

MY KIND, THE PROUD MONSTER RACE, HAS BEEN TRAPPED BENEATH A MOUNTAIN FOR A LONG TIME. ...AND THERE IS THE SLIM CHANCE THAT OTHER WORLDS OPERATE UNDER DIFFERENT RULES. BUT THAT'S ANOTHER CAN OF WORMS ALTOGETHER! METAPHORICALLY SPEAKING.

[As if he had to specify.]

SO! IF YOU WISH TO LEARN MORE ABOUT COOL SKELETONS AND THE RICH HISTORY OF MONSTERKIND, I'LL GLADLY OBLIGE. ALTERNATIVELY, IF YOU'RE A FELLOW FAN OF PUZZLES (AND I'M SURE MOST OF YOU ARE), THEN PERHAPS WE CAN TALK PUZZLE DESIGN. I'M THINKING A FEW PUZZLES HERE AND THRE WOULD REALLY BRING THIS PLACE TOGETHER. PERHAPS SOMETHING WITH SWITCHES... PLATFORMS? SWITCHES ON PLATFORMS? THE POSSIBILITIES ARE LIMITLESS!!!

[He's rambling a bit, but to be fair, this is a communications network! It's a great way to find people with similar interests! But there was something slightly alarming...]

ALSO, PLEASE DON'T MURDER EACH OTHER! THAT'S GENERALLY VERY BAD. DO NOT DO A VIOLENCE! I'M NOT ENTIRELY SURE WHY THIS HAPPENED, BUT IF I MEET THE MOOGLE WHO DID THE MURDERING, I WILL... GIVE THEM A VERY STERN TALKING TO. PERHAPS GUIDE THEM BACK TO THE STRAIGHT AND NARROW. IT'S NOT TOO LATE TO CHANGE! I BELIEVE IN YOU, POTENTIALLY VIOLENT STRANGER!

[There. That should cover it for now.]

euphemia

[ The feed flickers on to show a young girl wearing a long, eloquent gown seated in what appears to be the front yard of the home she was assigned. By appearances alone, one can assume quite a bit about who or what she might have been in her homeworld. There is a bit of murmuring off camera by the likes of her Mog who appears to be guiding her with using the device. ]

—starting. Ah! Wonderful! And there we are. Now you are connected, my lady. Please, go right ahead.

[ Euphemia smiled off camera to the Moogle and mumbled a quiet thank you, then turned her attention back to the screen. ]

Hello everyone! I, ah ... I just wanted to introduce myself properly since I believe most of us are in a similar predicament. It's been a very ... a very strange day, [ and her expression twists a little because that word doesn't even seem right. It will do for now. ] but I like to hope that I can end it on a reasonably good note.

I hope everyone has settled in well or going to. I intend to do so myself. I wanted to thank everyone that I had the opportunity to meet today. Your company, whether brief or not, was welcomed and one I will hold dear. I hope we can meet again soon while we are here.

As for the rest, perhaps we might get acquainted using this, ah... this—what is it called again? [ She turns to look off camera to where her Moogle is apparently floating ]

An iMog, my lady.

Oh! Yes. iMog slate! [ She smiles. ]

It's a pleasure to meet all of you! I'm Euphemia. But please, call me Euphy.
