video/action- Bar Homra

[Wallace was sitting at the bar with a drink clutched in his hand and the coral in the other. After the last week's curse, he wanted to try and relax some. Even though he was not afflicted by the curse itself, a lot of his friends were.]

Hello everyone. I was just wondering if anyone wanted to join me in Bar Homra for a drink? I know these curses can be quite taxing and having a drink in the bar is one way to chill out. I've found some of the drinks here are to be quite exotic and interesting. [Just out of view Milotic was having a drink through a straw of some orange juice. It could have been Pokémon berry juice for all anyone knew.]

So, if anyone wants to join me, I'm at Bar Homra just at the main bar. [He gave a small wave and hoped some of his friends at least would show up.]

[video] Selphie is Sad, but we're off hiatus!

*When Selphie woke up and she was able to leave her bed, she looked around the house for Rinoa. She wasn't upstairs, or downstairs. That wasn't so unusual. Selphie thought she'd use the SFC to see if Rinoa could bring back those burgers she got the last time Selphie was in a coma. But Rinoa's name wasn't on the list. Selphie knows too well what that means.

On the screen, Selphie is still wearing her little yellow pyjamas, curled up on the sofa in the living room she used to share with Rinoa. She blinks, rather forlornly, at the SFC*


I don't know when it happened but...Rinoa's gone home. For all her friends here...I thought I'd let you know that I'm from Rinny's homeworld too, but I'm from a place more in the future than from where she was here from. So, I can promise everyone that even though some crazy stuff might happen, Rinoa ends up perfectly safe and really happy, with friends and people who love her.


*Selphie manages a small, weak smile, then promptly switches off her SFC*

video ♢ open

UGH!

How many times is this going to happen to me!? It is absolutely unacceptable! OOOOH!

[There's some sputtering and growling on the other screen followed by hooves pitter-pattering on the ground. After a beat, however, the voice stops along with the sound of dripping water as Rarity uses her magic to clean herself up. Ugh. She hates it when her mane gets wet!]

Ah. That is much better.

[And with that the communicator floats up to eye level so Rarity can properly address everyone watching. Surprisingly, her mane looks just as perfectly curled and shining as ever without any sign she had been soaked.

She's back in her room, it seems, after being brought right back to Vatheon in a huge puddle of water just like the first time, and around her are several rolls of fabrics in all shades and styles, scissors and pins and needles all neatly tucked away into appropriate bins, but most importantly for this broadcast are several different pieces of jewelry scattered on the table.]


Now, before I was so rudely interrupted, I was just about to announce my new line of custom and hoof made, one of a kind jewelry~! You see, I managed to get my hooves on a few more beautiful gems for my projects, and I must say my newest creations are most exquisite!

Now, as you can see I have completed quite a few different styles of earrings and bracelets, but I can also create necklaces, headpieces, rings, and brooches, just to name a few~

For those of you without pierced ears, I do offer clip on versions of all the designs I make! I'm afraid I will not do the piercing myself as it can be, ahem, quite messy. But nevertheless! For a reasonable amount of starfish tokens depending on the style you specify, I shall be more than willing to take down orders as soon as possible! Beauty should be priceless, but not worth an arm and a hoof~

Let me know if you are interested! There is no task Rarity cannot do~!

Experiment 007 [Accidental Video]

[When the feed turns on, Washu can be seen adjusting the filter on a rather large, 55 gallon tank complete with stand and what looks like rocks and fake coral inside. Swimming around in the tank are several familiar fish. All of them prizes from the previous festival.

After a few moments she steps back and wipes her hands on her shorts to get a good look at the tank. A few minutes later she absently taps something at the computer keyboard that appears at her finger tips and a canister drops out of thin air into her waiting hands. On the canister is a simple image of a fish eating fish food.  Washu opens the can and sprinkles some of the flake food into the tank and smiles as she watches the fish go into a mini feeding frenzy.

Once she finishes that the food canister vanishes and she turns away only to pause as she sees her communicator recording.]


It looks like this little device decided to share  my new tank with the rest of the bubble. Well, what do you think~? It's not as big as I would like but considering the inhabitants, I think I can get over my disappointment.

[video] Summer in the Flower Shop

*First thing on the screen is a black and white cat, whose fur resembles a tuxedo. On his head is what would be a daisy chain, only it's made of pink carnations instead. The cat sniffs at the screen, bumping it with his nose, then reaches even closer to give it a lick with his tongue. There's a giggling, that certainly isn't the cat! Selphie's face appears close to the screen, next to the cat, wearing her own crown of pink flowers*

Hi Vatheon!~

*Selphie scoops the cat up in her arms, and he looks more than happy to have the attention*

Moses and I just wanted to tell you that your local flower shop is back in business! The seeds and seedlings needed lots of care after the flooding but... they've beaten the odds! Aya, the owner, is still in his coma... I think... but I'll be more than happy to help as best I can!~

*When she moves back from her SFC, Selphie reveals a table full of cupcake decorated with little flowers on*

Come along and have some cake to celebrate the reopening!~ Hope to see you soon, Vatheon!

Seventh Rose: Flower Competition [Backdated to last Sunday]

[The Flower Arrangement Contest has begun! Aya is filming the few contestants they have who are diligently working on an arrangement. Some look relaxed and confident, most look haggard and frustrated because it's harder than it seems! Prizes are on the line, along with Starfish Coins!]

[Aya sets the camera on top of the register, turning it so the lens is now facing him.]


We've officially started our contest, and even those who haven't signed up before today can still walk in and participate. Points will be given on two factors: meaning of arrangement and design. Good luck to anyone who participates. [At the end, he fumbles with getting the communicator to turn off, but manages to do so with some dignity left.]

[The rules are posted in a couple of places inside the flower shop, while a guide on flower arranging is handed out to anyone that wants one:

Rules
1. No magic may be used.
2. Real flowers will only be used.
3. Contestants may bring their own supplies, but will not be able to use their own flowers.
4. There will be a time limit of one hour two hours. No more, no less.
5. Contestants will work individually.

[Voice]

[There's a few long moments of staticky silence, then Mituna's voice - quiet, but still with that trademark horrendous lisp. He didn't lose that this week, clearly.]

Tho.. my matethprit ith gone, I gueth.

[A long pause follows this announcement, then he continues.]

I don't want to change back.

003 ✘ Video

[ Devit is looking PARTICULARLY smug today as he flips on his SFC. ]

Greetings oh people of the fishbowl.  I'm proud to tell you that that the plaza just got a whole lot more awesome.

[ He pans over a little to reveal... what appears to be a big ol marble statue of himself in the plaza, pointing dramatically into the distance.  It was all courtesy of his 'Materialize' ability, which allowed him to make anything that he imagined really really hard into reality.  Though normally he couldn't do it without his twin brother around... unfortunately he seems to have lost all memory of him when he realized he could use materialize. ]

Your welcome Vatheon.

[ Don't worry Vatheon, Materialize isn't permanent.  The 'awesome' will fade away soon enough. ]

Eighth Rose: Delayed [VIDEO] filtered from Selphie for reasons

[Aya is standing outside his home in Corral Coral as he films this. One can tell that he's not especially adept at filming himself since the camera is all tilted.]

We've recently announced that we were having a flower competition at Kittens in the House, but haven't announced a date. We'll be having our competition in three days. However, before that time, the flower shop will have reduced hours. It will open from nine in the morning until one in the afternoon. We'll have normal hours after the competition.

So far, we have only a few entries, and would like at least a couple more. I'll remind everyone that the prize will be gardening supplies and one hundred Starfish Tokens. The rules for the competition are available at our shop.

[Because it'll be easier to lure in potential customers that way, instead of giving the information right here.]



(ooc: feel free to have action threads if anyone is stopping by the shop!)

[Video]

[For those familiar with Dirk, they might notice something unusual about him today- for all that he usually wears shirts decorated with hats, he hasn't ever been a fan of wearing them. Until now, apparently, considering he's wearing one right now. It goes a long way toward making him look like Bro Strider, which is impressive, since they already look like clones.

It doesn't seem like he's about to talk about that, though.]


I have to say, I'm impressed by the amount of whining we've gotten for a simple curse like this. Jesus shit, it's a minor one, calm your tits and deal.

Accidental Video

*There's a blur on the screen as it seems the SFC is moved from one pair of hands to another. When the image finally settles, it is tilted at an angle. Most of the image appears to be a boring bedside table with a jug of water on, and the frame of a boring bed, similar to what might be seen in a hospital. A smaller section of the screen shows half of someone's pale face, the eyes covered with bandages. The only thing that might identify this person are some flicks of brown hair, sitting above a shoulder in a hospital gown. The SFC is moved again, showing this unhappy figure in a bed, before the feed flickers out*

[ACTION]

[Meanwhile, Aya is in the shop, very much under the influence of the curse. He's a Cleric for the time being, and feels pretty surly at having to be dressed in this attire. He seems pretty oblivious about not having his abilities, so there is somewhat of a silver lining?]

[He's sweeping the front of the shop, going slowly due to not wanting to trip on the ends of his robes.]

Fifth Rose: heart in a box [TEXT]

I could have done without the oddly shaped chocolate.

Does anyone want this? I'm not a big fan of chocolate, and this is not helping to change my mind.

Selphie Wake Up!~

*Whoa, Selphie feels like she's been asleep for a long, long time. She's sitting up on her bed, surrounded by piles of plush toys. Blinking into her SFC, she does look kinda sleepy, but there's a touch of confusion there too. There's a clock in her room, but no calendar, so she has no idea that she's been in a coma for two weeks*

Good Morning Vatheon! I guess I was asleep...for a long time. Feels like the last time it happened.

What day is it? Did I miss anything? 

One flower ( Video )

[ So it's been roughly a good week or so since she's arrived and Shiemi's spent that time getting settled into the Villa, coming to terms with the fact that yes, she IS going to be stuck here for a while. The fact that some of her friends were here was comforting, though overall it was still disorienting.

So obviously, now is the time for a post! It takes her a good while to get the video running. ]


A-ah... hello, everyone! Is everyone doing okay? I... I just wanted to say thanks to everyone in the Villa for being kind enough to take me in after... well, after I arrived here. Thanks again!

Anyway, I... I was just wondering. Does this place have any gardens or anything I can plant flowers with? I... I'm just curious...

[ And it's not like she wants to plant a garden of her own here or anything, gosh... ]

002 | Video

[Sarah hasn't been hungry or anything: she can easily enough convince the locals to give her the food she likes the taste of, like hot ketchup mixed with orange juice and steak sauce on blueberry scones, but she has started thinking about the fact that many of the people here aren't human. (Like her, but not.)]

What kind of foods are local to you? Is there anything that you're used to eating that you haven't been able to find here?

Like, I'm from New York, and we've got pretty good bagels there. Which is like bread with a hole in it.

[Bread products are always a safe bet, right?]

I think you can get it here, but I don't know if everyone could find that in their worlds, if they're not from Earth.

Or has there been anything you've never had before you got here that you've found really good?

Recommend me something, from your world or that you've only discovered here, if you feel like it.

[So she doesn't like a lot of things humans do (or not in the same ways they do), but that doesn't mean she won't try things.]

001 :: [voice]

--piece of junk! [That might have blasted your eardrums a little since he was yelling right by the microphone on the device. But then there's a pause.]

Oh. Well, whatever. Talk about a needlessly complicated way to talk to people.

[At least he assumes that's what this weird device is for.] Okay, so someone can hear me on this, right? Can someone also tell me when the next ride outta here is? It's really important I not be here right now.

[His tone is quite exasperated but there's a tight apprehension to it as well. He really can't be here right now.]

Fourth Rose: Flower Adoption [VIDEO]

[Aya is showing an outside display of potted flowers getting a well deserved bath in the rain. The droplets of water roll off petals of various shades and shapes. Despite the gloomy weather, they make the atmosphere livelier.]

With the change in weather, some flowers may not take to this change well. Perhaps someone can give them a nice home with proper care so they won't just wilt away. With that said, the flower shop will take thirty percent off all flowers on display outside. The other flowers will only get ten percent off your purchase.

[He turns the camera around so it could face himself. Aya is smirking in light amusement.]

If you can beat me at darts, you can get a voucher for a free order of flowers.

[Video]

[The feed opens close to Brooklyn’s mug, before zooming out. He's got to make sure it’s possible to get a good look at him.]

Just a heads up. If you’re up around the island and you ever see a statue perched high somewhere that looks like me, chances are it is me. So just, uh, leave it alone, okay?

[He puts on a more grim face to add.]

Don’t think me being stone means you can get away with anything. Trust me, I’ll know.

[Which is a complete lie.]

That was just the oddest week. I kept feeling like the locals were talking about me right before I walked into a room. It was just so awkward. I'm glad it's over. I've had enough of it.

On to less oddness, would anyone be up for a card game? Or even a board game?
