| [A wistful looking Disciple appears on the communicator. She seems to have a rather impressive pile of books gathered around her. Towers of them, one might say.]
Hello Vatheon, It is easy to get caught up in a good book, is it not? Literature is certainly a great way to get to learn about other cultures and peoples, so therefore I have a question for you all.
Do you have a favorite book, or piece of literature? Call it a mild curiosity. I am always looking for suggestions on what to read next. | |

| So. Woke up this morning to a couple of things. Good news, I'm back in my own body.
[As is probably obvious to everyone when they see his face, which looks too sad for this post to be about the curse being over.]
Bad news, Percy and Annabeth are both gone. Checked the list and everything.
[He pauses to sigh and looks away from the camera for a moment.]
Gotta remind myself that at least they've got each other this time.
[He reaches his hand out to turn off the SFC, his hand blocking the camera as he says one last thing.]
I just wish them being gone didn't mean they're free-falling into Tartarus. | |

|  Y'know, I'm starting to figure out why wizards in Ooo are all a bunch of freaks. Having awesome magical werewoof powers? Awesome. [This is Jade and also not Jade. It certainly looks like Jade, but punk rock fashion doesn't really seem like her thing. The overly large leather jacket seems cute on her, 'tho. At least that's what Marceline would say.]
[And yes, she did say 'werewoof'.] Anyone want to get shrunk? Or get bigger? Feelin' pretty generous today, might do it to you anyway if I see ya, heheheheh. Also, Jade, one, I might have updated your wardrobe a little. [You are punk rock tier now, it is you.] Two, don't worry about your boyfriend, I have him in my pocket, it's all cool. | |
|
| [When the video opens, it's on Vatheon's resident doggirl! Hello, Vatheon, Jade is just minding her own business sitting on a bed with what looks like a sleeping figure behind her.]
...You know, it's pretty rude for a boyfriend to go into a coma and not consider that you might want to go with him! Especially when weird stuff like this starts happening.
[Jade, that's silly, you're silly. She sighs and spins the SFC so the view of the camera moves around wildly.]
This is stupid, is it Sunday yet?
[And with that charming bit of business out of the way, Jade shuts off the feed.] | |

| [Ky isn't wearing his uniform -- the official police one, the only one he has -- because his boss had made it very clear that he thinks superheroes are absolutely an asset to their line of work, regardless of the rules and laws they flout, the procedures that they utterly fail to appreciate.]
It's all well and good to want to help people.
[That should be the appropriately conciliatory note to start on, right?]
But sometimes to blindly rush in without understanding the situation can provide a fair amount of harm that could have been easily avoided. For example, such actions can destroy evidence that could be used to convict, can endanger civilians by putting a glamour on the topic that shouldn't be there, and can lead to ridiculous amounts of property damage, just to get started.
[Ky looks set to go on for a while, consulting the papers in front of him, when something more interesting happens: some smoke comes billowing in from a room behind him.
Ky continues, for the moment oblivious, as the signs of fire grow.]
I'm sure the last thing people wants is for those guilty to go free, but you can't tell if the masked figure is supposed to be a friend or a foe, it endangers the appropriate party that ought to be responding, and it complicates the--
[Ky's cut off as someone drops heavily behind him after coming in from a window, tosses him over a shoulder, and jumps right back out that same window to land quite a ways farther down. The visual's blurred between the speed of descent and the wind, but what little isn't is the colour red. Ky's rescuer seems to be covered in it, though it's really just his coat and a few pieces of look like the most basic armour.
It also catches the first explosion. Flame reflects off shattered glass that come raining down to their left.
The man in red (and black, now that the device has stopped bouncing) walks a ways further so the fire's more visible and a safe distance away, twists around to set Ky down a little less than gently, and points the cop in the direction of it. He watches it lazily without sign of concern, gloved hand on Ky's head to make sure he doesn't look away.]
Better pay more attention t'yer surroundings, kid. Just 'cause yer hot doesn't mean yer fireproof.
[And with that quip and a smirk, the man's dashed forward and scaling back up the building--presumably to hunt around and make sure anyone else in harm's way gets out. The fire doesn't look like it's going out any time soon.]
[Ky stares flabbergasted after him for a moment, hand on his chest as if to check that his heart is still beating. Then he takes a breath, carefully turning away to make sure he doesn't inhale smoke.]
I'm sure some assistance would be appreciated, if anyone is free. Obviously any methods used shouldn't put even more people in danger, but beyond that this isn't the sort of situation that benefits from refusing help.
[And since Ky's a bit useless for this, useless for lots of things without his power, he'll be doing his best at coordinating things until the fire is out, and then he'll re-approach his philosophical points.]
[ooc: Red is Sol, blue is Ky. Feel free to catch either of them after the fire's out, or interact however makes sense while it's burning. (And please note which it is if your tag doesn't make it clear)] | |

| [Hello, Vatheon. It's your favorite half-demon cook-- oh wait no, that's not him.
But he sure looks like him, even if he was a little older looking.
And wet. And shivering. In fact he looks a little like a drowned cat.]Wh-What th' hell happened to this place?! Someone better cut off that AC 'cause this is f-fuckin' ridiculous. [He huffs, cheeks red with cold.]Not the welcome party I was expectin'... jeez...
[Action]
[Exorcist coat slung over one shoulder and his sword bag over the other, Night hopes that by walking around he'll heat himself back up, but so far it doesn't seem to be helping at all. What made it worse was that his clothes were still slightly damp from the fountain, but there wasn't much he could do about that.]Never a dull fuckin' moment around here, I s-swear... | |

| [Have some high pitched cackling and some flame flaring up on the screen of your SFCs, Vatheon. When the fire clears, it reveals a dim but dramatically lit room somewhere and who else but your resident Vampire Queen? She's sporting a diabolical grin on her face, revealing all of her very sharp teeth, and...]
[Huh. Okay. That sure is a dress she's wearing in shades of dim purple and bright red accents. It's probably a good question as to where she got it and the fake crown on her head. However, a far better question to ask might have to do with the lineup of men all tied and hung up with rope on the wall behind her.]
[Anyone who's been in Vatheon long enough will probably be able to recognize some of the host club's members- Peony and Angelo are obviously the ones who stand out the most as the heads, but there's also Rin, Fai, Duke, Ronald, and Ioder, too. They are CLEARLY all captive, seeing as they are tied up and there are pieces of cloth around their mouths.]
[After she's gotten her cackling down with- hey, as a villain, she has to have a memorable laugh. It's all about standards, you know- Marceline finally speaks to the SFC.] Hel lo, people of Vatheon. For a few months, I've been hiding my TRUE villainous nature from you as I've watched and studied your pitiful population. Now, I've chosen to strike and start my campaign to rule over the entire city! To begin with, I've kidnapped all of these pretty handsome dudes and will turn them into my vampire slaves! [Ironically, she gestures to Fai as she says this.] I'm a Vampire Queen, it's kind of what I do. Anyway, IF YOU WISH TO RESCUE THEM from a life of slavery and bloodsucking and stop my evil plan before I unleash them onto the city tonight to spread the plague of vampirism, then come face me if you dare! Oh, right, but I forgot. [She flicks her hand out to inspect her nails smugly.] Vatheon doesn't have any heroes. You're all a bunch of scared little mice cowering in your holes. If there's anyone who thinks they can challenge that... You have until- TONIGHT! BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA~! [Another flare up of flames over the screen, and then the video stops. Will anyone in Vatheon step up and stop this Mistress of Horrible Evil before totally legit terrible things happen!?!?][Action]( Meanwhile, behind the scenes ) | |

| [ Italy shows up looking threatening in his mobster hat! Clearly, he's lost it, and suddenly his bakery has become a front for the black market! Italy, mafioso. He usually has a thick Italian accent so he fits the bill well. ]Ve, you need da goods, I got da goods. Just come on in and ask for Veneziano, then tell me what kind of pastry ya want. [ he turns to someone offscreen. ]Ve, you talkin' to me? [ he leaves and there's a lot of indiscernible shouting, probably in Italian because yanno, mafioso. He returns and tugs on his suit collar like he just had to readjust his outfit after fighting with someone. But as this is still Italy, it was more of a wussy slap fight than anything else. ]Ve~~~ Pardon me. I had to take care of some business, if yanno what I mean. | |

| Has anyone had one of those moments when they believe to be good at something, only to realize there are people much better than you? It's hard to follow a young girls many dreams when there are more obstacles than one realizes.
Anyway, I'm basically saying I think I need some singing lessons, or even lessons on how to be an idol, if anyone is willing to lend me a hand?
There will be a few rules I have to have if you accept such as I will sleep in till 10 in the morning and I'm more of an active girl than a study girl, so that would mean no lessons that involve written work. Lessons where you have to sit at a desk for hours on end is boring and I don't understand why it's necessary.
So, if anyone is willing, I'll be happy to learn from you and I promise to do my best between this and planned cooking lessons. | |

| 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~ | |
