[ It takes a moment or two - upside down first, but then- there he is, a jovial yet clearly embarrassed young fellow holding a red coat. ]

There we are.

I do apologize, as I realize the hour is quite late indeed, and more likely than not there are plenty of you in need of catching up on lost beauty sleep. It will not take long, I assure you, I only make a small request.

As a result of recent ... shall we say, capers, it would appear that I find myself in need of a tailor, or seamstress. For some reason, I was entirely convinced that I could fly, but in order to do so, I was in need of- well. A cape. Suffice to say, my efforts were in vain, and I've now utterly ruined a prized possession of mine.

[ here he holds up his jacket, in tatters, and it's not entirely certain what exactly he was trying to do but-- caught up in the heat of the moment, he supposed. Though he looks awfully sheepish. ]

It would be thoroughly appreciated if someone could repair the damage I've caused to the poor thing. While I currently have little means of payment, surely we could reach some agreement.

[ he nods with a polite bow before signing off, ] I thank you for your time and consideration. You've my utmost gratitude.

[ but the feed catches one more forlorn look at his poor ruined coat, and a sigh. No more superhero shenanigans for this mister. ]

[Mr. D had spent the last week or so confined in his place of residence until the shenanigans around the city calmed down. If anything had happened to him during that time, he wasn't talking about it.

[Now, he is sitting in the park with a deck of playing cards in his hand, flipping them between is fingers expertly to shuffle them as he talks. He's actually bored enough at the moment to request company of others. It's shocking, really.]

If anyone thinks they are up to a fearsome challenge, I have just the game for you. Meet me in the park, and show me what you're made out of. You will be judged harshly on your performance, because I doubt anyone will be able to beat me.

[He fans the cards out to hide his mouth as he speaks his parting lines.]

Don't worry if you aren't familiar with the game. I will train you. Every civilized man should at least learn the basic rules of pinochle.

[Lucifer was no stranger to the idea of suddenly appearing in a strange new world and having to work out how to live in it. He wonders briefly how he was brought through the Gate, but considering he was asleep at the time, it could have been done a number of ways. Come to think of it, "how" wasn't as important as "why". But he supposed "why" would come in good time, and he was, frankly, in no hurry.

After fiddling with the starfish like device, he discovered that despite its appearance, it worked very similar to a smartphone back home, and that it could be used to contact the other foreigners in this new world, who were likely from other worlds and stuck here as he was. He had, however, come across something in particular that caught his interest. It even made him interested enough to make a post to this network about.]

Yo.

[He addresses the network in such a way that shows he's familiar with technology, but although shows that he's only doing this because he feels he has to.]

So I'm a new world, right? Cool, I guess. Been there, done that. And we're given everything we need to survive without working for it?

[He pauses a moment to adjust his communicator.]

So where's the fried chicken?

[Yep. That's what's he's concerned about. Fried chicken.]

[The video feed starts with focusing on Leo's face.]

Since I got my hands on some celestial bronze I started making some really awesome stands to use with the starfish communicators. They're super portable and attach to the SFC like a cellphone charm.

[He turns his SFC away from his face (it's sitting on his stand) and holds up a charm that's shaped like Dirk's sunglasses. It's not very big and it's attached to Dirk's SFC by a short cord. He talks from off camera.]

So they start out looking like this, but in whatever shape you want. I've also made a bunny shaped one and mine's shaped like a hammer. I can do pretty much any simple shape you want. Anyway. All you gotta do to turn it into a stand it give it a little push like this.

[He grabs the charm by both ends of the glasses and lightly pushes them closer together at the top. The glasses open and a stand begins to come out of it, extending more metal than it looks like it could feasibly hold. When it's done he sets the stand on the table and Dirk's SFC is sitting on top of it, the sunglasses are open at the top of the stand.]

And then you've got a stand for hands free SFC use. And it retracts easily when you're ready to pack it up and go.

[He adjusts the sunglasses in the opposite direction and the stand begins to retract. He grabs hold of Dirk's SFC so it doesn't fall. He turns his SFC back to face him.]

Thanks to Dirk, I got the idea that I should sell these. So if you want your own custom stand just let me know. It'll cost 30 starfish tokens, but I'm willing to barter.

[After very little interest last time, Leo tries a slightly different tactic on selling the password app.]

Also wanted to remind everyone that if you want some added security for your SFC, I've got a password app for it that will keep anyone from accessing your SFC without whatever code you set. It's free with a SFC charm stand, or 5 starfish tokens if that's all you want.

It seems I’ve forgotten my manners. I am the Earl of Phantomhive, Ciel Phantomhive. It’s a pleasure to make your acquaintance, Vatheon residents.

Now, who might I direct my inquiries about the coral to?

[ From the looks of the video feed, Hilda is in the kitchen of her apartment. The sounds that come from the feed indicate that there is indeed something on the stove. Hilda herself looks nervous ... and a little worried. ]

So, Vatheon gives us things we need to survive, right?

Does this include cold medication? Like, coughing, sneezing cold medication.

[ Spoilers: She's not asking for herself. ]

( ooc: ohhhh yeah, I should probably mention that this post is backdated to during this log. )

Plan 4 → [video] & [action]

[ Annabeth doesn't usually cry as a rule. Demigods don't have easy lives and most emotions can be rationalised away with the motivation of 'getting on with things'. But for some reason, this time whenever she thinks she's stopped crying somehow more tears come. It's not just that he's gone... it's also what he's gone back to.

She sits and stares at the jellies outside the bubble until she's sure she can make this video post without crying. Drawing her coat more tightly around her - Hades, it's cold lately! - she shivers and turns on her SFC for the first time since Percy had left. ]

So, I don't know how many of you knew Percy Jackson, my boyfriend, but he's gone. Just thought I'd do the courteous thing and let everyone know. [ She wipes quickly at one eye but manages to hold off tears. ]

[ooc: This is a network and action post! Feel free to respond either by SFC or with awkward cuddle curse actions out by the jellies. ]

[Chii very shakily turned on her device as she keeps it firmly in her hands. It's obvious from the shaking that Chii is in fact shivering and just doesn't quite know how to stop. But she certainly looks confused.]

Chii doesn't understand why Chii is shivering. Is it because of the curse people speak of, or is it that Chii is broken?

[She had heard about it being a curse, but Chii still hadn't been in one before, so this was a new experience for her to say the least, even the feeling of cold was new.]

[It's difficult to see much of anything, because Laharl is posting this from the usually cozy interior of his coffin. The only light is coming from the SFC itself. His red eyes seem to drink it in like cats' eyes, but the rest of his face is indistinct.]

Is this w-what it feels like to be s-sick?

[Someone may have panicked a little and not checked any other posts.]

[It's been quite some time since the Head Nurse has ~~terrorized~~ graced Vatheon with her presence. She's been hard at work figuring out just what they did to fix the coral, and she's found out some very interesting things.]

Good morning, Vatheonites! It has been quite some time, hasn't it? And you have been terribly busy. We have a couple things to address.

Firstly, it was quite an ingenious solution you thought up for the coral, I am impressed. Who was it that thought it up, hmm? If you come forward, we might let you have an up close look at our facilities. I know you've been itching to get a look at them for awhile now.

Secondly, it seems that the Head Priestess lost her life in the commotion of fixing the coral. It's really quite a shame, but we didn't get to her in time to bring her back, so I'm afraid she's gone permanently.

[She doesn't seem to think it's a shame at all. In fact, she's smiling wider than ever.]

I do hope we can prevent such a tragedy again. You've all been behaving yourselves so nicely and not creating extra work for us. It would be very... unfortunate if that were to change.

[video] The Place to Be

[When the SFC's camera turns on for the first time, Vatheon's network is treated to a view of some glorious, glorious chest hair. And a few seconds later, it pans upward to the face of the owner of said chest hair, a dwarf with a smug look on his face. He's holding a crossbow in his arms.

He's holding it rather affectionately.

It may or may not be slightly unsettling to those watching.]

Greetings, citizens of Vatheon. My name is Varric Tethras. And this- [He pats the crossbow.] -is Bianca. Now, the two of us have a very important question we need answered.

Where, exactly, do people go around here to gather, relax, and have fun? It would be most preferable if said place had drinks. Cute dwarven serving girls not required, but a nice bonus.

[He'd made the announcement individually to the few people that Ky knew she'd known, but he's sure there are more, people who might not expect her to vanish.]

Dizzy is gone. Back to our world...

[Not as important to the bubble, perhaps, as Zelda's disappearance, but he feels it more. He's not going to acknowledge that fact if he can't, though, not any more than he's already had to.

Which is why he's moving on.]

Has anyone ever done a survey of the different types of fighting that everyone here knows? It seems like we probably have a lot to teach each other, and I, for one, would be happy to learn something a little different. I currently use a sword and lightning magic, and while I can't teach the magic to those who don't have it, I've found that simply sparring against people from different schools of training has helped me to adapt my own technique.

But there's some things I can't learn simply by fighting, but things that might be nonetheless useful in the context of some battles, like firearms.

Perhaps if people could simply talk some about how battles go on their world, I'll be able to better determine strategy that should be used for the Defense Force.

And I wouldn't be opposed to learning something new, if anyone's in the mood to teach.

[A slight, and formal, smile.

See how carefully he's focusing on duty, on earnestness, instead of anything else? This is what he wants to be doing, how he wants to cope.]

Umm... hello Vatheon! I was wondering if I could ask a favor!

[ Wally looks a little embarrassed for a moment, but not so much that he won't continue with his little request. ]

You see... my asthma's gotten a lot better recently and I've been thinking that maybe I should train myself as well as my pokemon. Sometimes I feel like my own weakness might be holding them back... so I'd really like to become stronger myself!

[ He could play with them longer, travel further every day, maybe not feel like dying every time he had to walk up a steep incline. ]

But I'm not really sure where to start, so I was hoping someone could give me some advice about exercises and stuff.

[ He's about to end things there, but then he just HAS to add. ]

And if anyone else happens to be a trainer and would like to battle some time I'm always ready!

[ ...He hasn't had a battle since arriving here a month ago, okay? ]

[[ Private to Saber ]]

Miss Saber, I know you were very interested in pokemon when I spoke with you before, and I think I have something you might be interested in.

RED Bread is back open for full business! We're restocked and ready to go~

So to celebrate reopening and the warm weather, today's special is sun-shaped sugar cookies~
( ((cut for image)) )

I think I'm going to build a fishtank in the bakery! Who doesn't like fishies? And I have plenty living in my basement. They're so cute! They are silver and black and always look down. I bet they'd be happier in a tank with food and fun things to swim in. Fai offered to help. Anyone else who'd like to help is welcome too~

( 002 ) ♔ ( a wild saber appears on the network; video )

[ Upon telling a newcomer that they should introduce themselves to Vatheon on the network, the King of Knights realized she hadn't done that. She often avoids the network, preferring to meet face-to-face.

Now she has a reason to announce her presence. She's on the Defense Force, and would like to at least be recognized on the street when she's doing her duties and as someone who can help. ]

Greetings. I am called Saber, and I have been in Vatheon for a little over a month. I'd like to make it known that I am the Division Leader of the Pirate Quadrant for the Defense Force.

Hopefully, I may be able to meet more of the Defense Force members. And if you are not a member, do feel free to stop me on the streets if you wish to speak or would like help. I will assist you how I can. [ That's kind of limited to activities involving her sword, but regardless.. ]

I look forward to working with those on the Defense Force. [ And Saber's feed cuts off there, but she'll hop on the SFC quickly should someone reply. ]

[Chii had arrived a couple of days ago, so when she finally appears on the feed, she isn't as soaked as one would be the day they arrived, but she's still wearing just the sheet she had first arrived in. Without reading the brochure, or whenever she did, lack the understanding of what was inside, Chii had finally figured out how the SFC worked, but at the same time, it only showed just her eye.]

Did Chii manage to work this? [She moves away for a moment before poking the screen not once, but twice. She isn't sure how exactly this work, what it is or even how she got it in the first place.]

Chii... [She stares intently, focusing all her attention on the thing. But after a good few minutes of moving it around, turning it around and staring couldn't tell her anything, she simply looked around.] Hideki could explain this to Chii, but Chii does not know where Hideki is. Maybe people could explain to Chii where Hideki is. [She tilts her head slightly. That seemed like a good bet.]

Chii will go find Hideki now and ask people for help. If Chii is lost, Chii can do that. [Firmly nodding, she kept a hold of the SFC and stood up as soon she switched it off without knowing she even had it on in the first place.]

--that's video. [A certain fluffy haired Pokemon enthusiast is pointing at something on the screen of a new arrival's SFC. He's behind said new arrival, visible behind a mass of equally fluffy brown hair. Apparently he's giving a lesson on how the SFC works and doesn't realize that his point actually prodded the button hard enough to start recording.]

Oh ... okay. So when you press that button, the camera feed goes right to a network that everyone here can see? This thing is kind of like a more public Xtransceiver ... [ The new arrival in question was staring at the SFC with this look of fascination on her face. It wasn't hard to get a handle on, she was just learning quite a bit all in the span of the few hours she had been here. On top of other things.. ]

Something like that. There's voice mail to talk to people directly. [There's an awkward pause from N, but he adds:] You can contact me directly with it, if you want...

Really? So I guess ... um. [ She looks over the device and points to a button ] Is that how I go to contacts or something?

Yes, that's right. You're getting the hang of it. [He doesn't really smile, but he seems... almost content with the current situation. Odd, for anyone who's gotten to know him in the past couple of months.

He blinks twice, though, and gestures at the SFC again.] It turned on.

[ She looks up at him, then back to the SFC, and blinks a few times. ] ... It did? [ She looks a little closer. ] How can you tell?

The light is on. That little red one right there. It's not easy to see.

.... Oh! I see it now. Yeah, it's on ... [ URP. ] How long has it been on? [ CRAP THIS IS AWKWARD. ] We should say hello or something, right?

Zoroark took my SFC away from me the first time it turned on accidentally. He thought it would make me help him look for food. [N what does that have to do with anything Hilda just asked?] ... you can introduce yourself. I think that's customary.

.... That sounds like Zoroark. [ She's not sure what that has to do with anything but it's a cute story at least? Hilda looks back to the SFC feed and raises her free hand in an awkward wave.] Um ... hi? I'm Hilda?

Hilda is a trainer from Unova. [Thank you for that stellar introduction you two.] ... she's a... friend. [... even better.]

[ She kinda awkwardly points to N. ] I was looking for him. Ah-- Before I came here. [ No, Hilda, that doesn't sound creepy at all ... she hides her face a little at that realization. ] I swear that sounded less creepy in my head.

... that sounded creepy? [And N is forever oblivious. Does he even know what being creepy entails?] You should... say something else. Or turn it off. Other people can respond to you, though.

M'Gonna turn it off now. I push this button again, right? [ And with that, the button is pressed, and the feed turns off! ]

( ooc: Joint post between N and Hilda! As such it should be noted that both N (

unwrittenformula) and Hilda (

ourlegends) will be responding to comments in this post! )

[ Something... funny was going on. Devit had been chatting idly with this person and that person so far this morning, and well, sstrange things were being said. At first he blamed some slips of the tongue, but then it kept happening. He was starting to get an idea of what was up. And if he was right... well, he was going to take advantage of it as much as he could. But first he had to test his idea out. He had to ask a question that most people probably wouldn't want to answer... but it couldn't be one so offensive that it'd have everyone after his head over. He liked it on his shoulders where it was. ]

Good morning! Ain't it nice that our little fishbowl here is all fixed up and shit? But that's not what I'm here to talk about. I got a real important question for you all, so listen up.

[ He takes a deep breath, as if about to ask the most important question that will ever be asked ever. ]

What kinda underwear you got on now?
