| [ Gracia shows up on the feed with rather curious expression. She sits by one of the cafes in the plaza, the SFC atop the table. She takes a sip of a warm vanilla milk, and with a slender finger on her lower lip, she begins to speak. A small dog can be slightly glimpsed running around behind her. It barks twice before Gracia's able to get her question out in the open. ]
Tell me something, Vatheon! What does it mean to be an "adult?" [ She leans on her elbows, and pouts. ] Is it really all about how old you are? Or is it more about how you act? That's what Father said to me once...[ Once? More like every time xD ] If that's the case, then how should an adult act?
[ Gracia sighs. This looks like something she's been pondering over for a while now. But speaking as a child at heart herself—regardless of her twenty years of age—Gracia only confused herself trying to look for an answer on her own. ] It's confusing! No matter what I do, it seems that my actions aren't those of an adult! Are adults not allowed to protect their loved ones the way they see fit?
[ Her dog, Futon, barks again. Gracia smiles and reaches down to pet him under the chin. ]
I wonder if to be an adult, I really only need to smile to become part of his strength...? I wonder if that will be enough...?
[ Her last words are no longer aimed at Vatheon's general public; they were questions aimed at herself, concerning a particular person. Her Father was always right, even if tried his best to tell Gracia otherwise. She believes in him fully, and so she wants to protect him no matter what. That was her reason for fighting—to make his dream of peace a reality. But how will she protect him now, when he gave her explicit orders not to? And that, whenever she disobeys him out of love, she is childish? Selfish, even?
Gracia is desperate for answers! (The last thing the SFC shows before she switches it off is her gulping down the rest of her milk with a satisfied and giddy smile. She sighs contentedly.) ] |

| [While he's not made himself particularly known to the rest of the bubble, otherwise keeping to himself, not wanting to bother anyone else, it seems that James has come across quite the problem. Much like the rest of the bubble, he's gone under some changes. Ones of which he looks utterly perplexed about, so much that he took the time to actually figure out how to use the SFC enough to make this post.]I... I'm not exactly sure if this--uhm if this thing is workin', but if it is and if anyone can actually see this... [He pauses, thoughtful, or maybe distressed on what exactly to ask.]I know this place isn't exactly the most... normal, but this is-- ridiculous! I don't even know what I am right now, or what these--these things on my face are. I guess these... [He reaches a hand up to hesitantly touch at one of the horns sprouting out of his head, before pulling his hand back as if the new protrusion would surely bite his fingers off.] are horns? Is this pretty normal? Please, if anyone could give me an answer, I'd... I'd really appreciate it. [And now the viewers get to see a distressed and confused Troll!James fumble with the SFC a bit before the feed finally shuts off.] |

| [ Dear lord, look at all of these people becoming trolls! And there's another one, but at least this one's not joining the seadweller group. Nope, she's a little bit lower, more jade if you will. Anyways, she's also been a little bit low key lately, which is dumb because she actually kind of likes talking to people. It's not her fault, though, she's just ... being herself basically.
Not to mention she's been asleep for a while, that's always a fun thing to realize!! Not only that but she's also a little bit miffed that this symbol (the one on her top obviously) is following her, and her hair didn't even stay blond. She liked it like that and was keeping that up for a reason! :C. Gosh. So to tell the truth she's incredibly frustrated with this bubble and all of its hi-jinx. Aint funny, yo.
So now she's on the SFC, looking all in her glorified troll glory. She stares at it for a moment, just to make sure it's working, and then... ] Alright, I wanna know what's goin' on with me. I know that someone's got answers, and I want them now. This place is just so freaky sometimes, and this is really no exception. You know, I can take being asleep for a long period of time just fine, but then this happens! [ Oops, she's baring her fangs a little, she's not meaning to! Just. It's happening. She then points at herself in her general direction, just to show that ALL OF HER HAS CHANGED.] I've been turned into one of those... weird horned grey things, and I'm not happy about that. I want to change back now. [ And without wasting time at all, she's going to cut the feed and calm herself down!!] |
|
| [There's a blond haired girl yelling at a strange creature.]No, no, no, no!! Stay away from my sketches you stupid monster!! [The creatures seems to be ignoring Beryl and simply is painting on everything with its tail. It doesn't have much talent though.
... And it doesn't have any mercy for some painting that could be seen in the corner of Beryl's room either.]No! Stop it!! I said, stop it!!! [ooc: Beryl's a pokemon trainer for the event - somebody help her with it!] |
|
| [Good day, Vatheon! There's a new kitty troll in the bubble, albeit temporarily. The bubble even provided him with a wardrobe change, as evidenced by the clothes he's wearing, one of which is the black shirt with the Rainbow Arch brand in green. Cielo knows perfectly well what he is, so he's not going to ask.
He doesn't seem very bothered by this new transformation. He's used to his body changing all the time and this form isn't bad at all, even if he does feel a bit restricted by the fact that he's earthbound.
He does look a little tired, though. He has been helping and talking to people with...less fortunate transformations.
Please let there not be anyone else who got saddled with Atma.]So, is there anything I need to know about being a troll? |
|
| [The point of the video is perhaps...not that obvious, because whoever's making it isn't visible on the screen.
Honestly it was the first button Trunks managed to push.]...this is just a curse, right? It'll be over in a week? [he has to say, he doesn't really like what he's been turned into. He can't really help the squeak.]
[ooc: Trunks is a Secret of NIMH-style rat. He's not too pleased by it. But he's cute.] |

| [Ever since this curse began, Amane found that her hunger can’t be satisfied with her usual meals. At first, she thought she’s hungrier than normal and get seconds for herself.
As time went on, she realised it’s not just her appetite being grown. It must be related to the curse and this tattoo on her face.
She appears on the screen. On her right cheek is an Atma mark of a rose with teeth. But she doesn’t know the significance, yet.]
I’m sorry to interrupt, but does anyone know the significance of this mark [points to her cheek] and...hunger?

| [ Oh boy. Who would have thought that Hanako would rather use the video feature this time? That was a quick boost of confidence! Everyone sure is going to learn about her appearance now, right?
... Except, nope. You're going to witness the sight of one of these strange monsters that are popping up to certain people. A ghost-like creature with an incredibly upset expression is staring straight at you, floating in mid-air. Hanako's voice is the background of this video, reclutant to speak. ]Um... I have learned about these... "curses" that occur to the guests here once in a while. I'm not sure how this creature entered my house, but it's doing nothing but follow me around. [ Though she's trying to sound calm, she's been freaking out quite a bit for the whole morning. And it won't go away, no matter the many attempts to shoo it out of her apartment. ]According to what I have seen on the network lately... [ Yep, she's a great lurker. ] ... Is it safe to assume that I've been cursed? |
|
| [PREPARE FOR A LOUD WHINING NOISE.
Oops, wait, that was meant before the feeds starts. Ah, well.]
Am I the only one who hasn't been effected? This is probably the only time I'll be saying this, but I...
want to be cursed. ["—with something cool", he means. And the dramatic pause was quite unnecessary.]
|
|
| Is this for real? Magic. Fucking magic. This. is. amazing. [ he's the man version of a Puella Magi something like the dude on the left.
Now watch this. He holds his hand out and a Mami-like white and black gun appears. BLAMBLAM. ]Sweet. |
|
| [ Kenshin appears much more modernly dressed and behind him, Moses the cat and a Glaceon are chasing each other back and forth, scampering across the living room floor. ]
It seems another curse is upon us. I seem to have become in possession of some rather interesting creatures. I believe they may be pokemon, though I cannot be for sure. I did not speak to N-dono in detail about the creatures.
Moses-kun does seem to enjoy the blue one, which says "Glaceon" quite often. It seems to have ice magic, though I am unsure of what more. Regardless, I do hope to keep it after this curse has receded.
Are there people here who know the proper care of pokemon? |

| [The feed turns on to show Urchin up on the island. He's by the beach, as usual, but his focus is on the SFC.]
So I get that there's this curse going on, right? So...uhm...any idea why I suddenly got these?
[He lifts his arm to show a long fin-like protusion. It runs from his wrist to his elbow.]
Annnd these.
[He grins to show that his teeth are now considerably sharper. Not just his eyeteeth; but every single one is needle sharp. Observant people will also notice that his normally blue eyes are now red and sitting at his side are a pair of Sai that seem to be made of coral. Because you see...Urchin is now a Gear.]
I'm okay with the fins buy heh the teeth I'm still getting used to. |
|
| [Gorthan is an earthling.
Gorthan is an earthling.
... Ugh.
As a result, he's feeling extremely cranky. His plan was to remain inside until the curse wore out, but...
... right. He can't expect to survive on his reserve of emotions now, huh...
And so comes his request to the network, delivered in a crestfallen "do I really have to do this?" tone.]
Can anybody share a few simple, yet nutritious food recipes? Your help would be greatly appreciated.
[Uuuugh, he can't believe he's doing this.] |
|
| [Although the feed starts off in audio-only for a couple seconds before he decides he's up for video, Roxas doesn't look any different.]
Hey, Axel, Xion.. Hayner... Well, everybody...
I know some people are freaking out, but I hope you guys aren't so bad off. 'cause, um, I kind of want your help figuring some stuff out.
((Powers? What powers? 100% vanilla human... complete with heart.)) |

| [This event hasn't been going on for that long, but already Gale's come across quite a few problems- mainly, that the bubble has given people outside of the tribe Atma, people who know nothing about the Junkyard or the unfortunate nature of the demons. He, Cielo, and Serph have already talked to and dealt with a few people, but he isn't about to take any chances.]
The changes caused by this curse have left some people with Atma, or demons. If the curse has left you with a black mark on your body that is not the tattoo obtained upon arrival in Vatheon, speak with me immediately.
