Who is responsible for this?!

[Equius is on the network, and he's not cold, or at least, that's not what he's complaining about.]

Whoever sent me such a vile, depraved thing, confess immediately! This is entirely inappropriate and deeply cultural insensitive! Tell me who you are at once!

[So he can punch you in the face. Or at least yell at you some more.]

I advise all trolls and young humans to avert their eyes, as I'm about to show you something filthy and disgraceful. [Very quickly, he flashes this game in front of the SFC.] The culprit needs to confess now. I demand it.

[OOC: dammit, Leo, look what you've done. It seems this has been one successful prank pulled.]

S-So, has anyone figured out how t-to get rid of the chills? I-I don't really do too great in the c-cold like this cuz of.. w-well, you know what happens when water gets too cold. I-I mean, I even sat up on the island for a f-few hours trying to w-warm up like that, I cranked up t-the thermostat, b-blankets, and I'm still freezing--! A-And it's hell t-trying to breathe s-sometimes when I get really cold lately. I-I think something got a l-little wonked up in there when I h-had my nose busted.

_{[He pauses and the rustling of cloth can be heard, followed by a few clicks the dial on a heating blanket.]}

Mnnph. This sucks!

I got somethin' that's been bugging me for awhile and I just gotta get this off my chest before I snap over somethin' stupid.

Say someone you used to date showed up again, only this time they're... _{[Demyx pauses to work out the wording in his head. How can he not make this obvious?]} Only this time they're not the person you knew before. He's a frickin' crazy lapdog again--the same guy who used to boss me around back home. ...Well, one of 'em.

How does anyone actually deal with that? I didn't even know he was here 'til I ran into him up on the island, y'know? He might've been two ranks higher than me, but I'd like to see him try pushing me around in my own element. I'm not weak like everyone thought I was back then. Water isn't weak.

_{[Another pause, and then he suddenly shifts direction in his tone.]}

Hey, Rox! That reminds me, y'wanna hit something up? I think one of the bars here has a pool table if y'wanna goof around!

[There is no illuminating exposition to accompany the unusual image that arrives onto the network, where a SFC lying on its side grants viewers an askew sight of a certain (considerably damp) silver-haired young man presently under a pile of perhaps three or four extremely enthusiastic dogs.

A cat trots over the SFC too, yowling.

The menagerie seem to be particularly interested in their visitor, or at least in licking all that salt water off his face, his hair, and giving him one hell of a cowlick on one side. Everything about the teal-eyed teenager's expression proclaims how unplanned this is, and he's resigned himself to putting up with the small zoo's attention for the time being.

Guess who discovered the residence he supposes belongs to his friends and utterly failed in his attempt at being sneaky? THIS GUY.]

Gimme a break. Look--Just forget the towel, I'm going to need a bath.

[Yeugh, dog breath.]

[Renge appears to be sitting in her room, finger placed firmly against her chin. She was thinking about what she had been seeing in the past day. people asking questions and people seemingly answering, usually when she expected people to knot answer. What made it more amusing was the fact that people reacted afterwards. This seemed like a best idea as any to find out a little something, something.]

I do hope that everyone is okay, I've noticed that people are unable to lie, so I thought that I might as well ask a couple of very important questions.

[Kufufufufufu~ Now what to ask?]

Question one. Do your or did you ever have a boyfriend or girlfriend, either here or back home? If so what was or is it like?

Question two. If you've never had a partner, is there someone you have your eye on? Don't worry, I won't tell a soul. [Oh no, but stuff like this would be wonderful for future doujinshis, of course. Or she just wants to know and fangirl over it, which ever comes first of course.]

[Hi Vatheon! Resident sexy redhead here with an announcement.]

Good morning, bubble! I've got some exciting news! I know some of you have been looking forward to Valentines Day~ For those of you that aren't familiar with the holiday, it's to celebrate love in all its incarnations, but especially romantic love~ To that end, I've organized the perfect event down at Golden Victory for this month.

Here's how it works; there's a sign up sheet right when you enter the club, on the notice board. You can sign anyone up for a blind date. Yourself, your brother, your friend. Anyone is valid! They don't even have to know you're doing it. Just get them to Golden Victory on February 14th and we'll take care of the rest!

Everyone attending will get a mask and be seated at a table with their blind date, then watch the sparks fly~ You could meet your true love or just spend a night of great conversation! After dinner, we'll shove all the tables aside and crank up the music to round out the night with a party, all dancing, revelry, and an open bar for those of you old enough to drink.

Wondering what to do if you've already got a date? You're in luck! The party portion of the night is open to everyone, so come on down with your dancing shoes and cut a rug with your hunny♥

If you've got any questions, feel free to direct them here or leave a note for the staff and we'll get back to you!

[With a wink, Zelos waves at the bubble and signs off.]

((ooc: For actual sign ups and/or questions on how the event is going to work, please see the sign up post and the mod post in the ooc comm. There will be a twist to the event, so make sure you read the ooc details!))

<sub>[See Demyx fret.

See Demyx fret with a familiar purple-striped scarf hanging around his neck.

See Demyx fret by playing with one of the ends with one hand while he fusses with the SFC with the other. Light blinking? Good. Okay. Let's try staying calm over this totally ridiculous thing.]</sub>

Hey Vatheon, uh... Normally I'm not about to protest getting scarves and stuff, but I was kinda hoping for Xiggy's scarf to turn up. I lost track of it last night before I went to bed and I thought it might turn up in the morning but I've pretty much flipped my entire room upside down looking for it. All I've found so far was this one, _{[He gestures to the scarf around his shoulders.]} and that was in a box from ol' Sandy.

_{[The Nobody glances down at the scarf a little sheepishly.]} The scarf I had made for Xigbar was the last thing I had of his. So, uh... If anyone sees it around I'd really appreciate it if you guys would let me know. It looks like one of those old scarves that cowboys used to wear too if that helps! Red, too!

[ After messing with the SFC for a bit, he's finally managed to trigger the voice part of the device. It's easier than working video, and at the very least, someone will be able to hear him. Right? He's wet and just little annoyed with the way he's suddenly been dumped next to a giant glowing rock without much warning. Or help. ]

I figure this isn't Atlantica. [ Because he's still got his legs and there's no singing anything to deal with. ] So, what's the catch?

[ Riku doesn't stay put long, already wandering and getting a sense of what the locals are like. He's an expert at visiting other worlds, after all. There's just thing that he needs to ask: ]

Has anyone seen someone named Sora around here? Kairi, too. Hmm... That's weird. [ A few muffled noises, and the last bit is barely audible. ] Thanks.

Any one want to borrow a blond musician for the remainder of this curse?
I love my mate and all but
The daft dork is stuck on my back now.
Probably looking over my shoulder.
And reading this now.
Any takers |

[This is followed by a series of random keys being pressed. Looks like Demyx decided to offer his take on being given away. He seems very excited!]


((OOC: There may be thread-jacks from Demyx. Indicate if you are cool with both or want a specific one.))
