[VIDEO] here be cannibals

[When the feed flicks on, Serph's standing outside the base, one of the orange rose bushes in the background. His expression is serious. This isn't the first time a curse has resulted in someone else with an Atma. This keeps happening... these things that are out of his control. These things that compromise the secrecy of their hunger. But he'd said to the Tribe that he'd speak to the entirety of the bubble of their hunger some day. It's unfortunate that he won't have the support of Signless for this, but now is as good a time as any.]

My name is Serph, leader of the Embryon.

[And a leader of the Defense Force, too, but he certainly isn't representing the Defense Force with this announcement.]

Many of you are our friends. Many of you know we are also part demon. However, we have kept one thing from you.

[Serph will be frank.]

Our demons require us to devour a person once a week. If we do not, our demons rampage, attacking everyone indiscriminately.

We do not hunt foreigners, only locals. We still wish to live here in peace.

[He dips his head in a small nod. He's sad he's kept this from people, but he's not apologetic over what they are and what they have to do.]

If you have questions, I will answer them.

[Filtered to Roxy and Xion|Voice]
[These are the people who've woken up in the base with bodies not their own. They're not part of his Tribe, but the bodies they're in are, so...]

You do not need to stay with us for the duration of this curse, but we would prefer it if you did. Let me know what your decision is.

[Video] With all the colors in the rainbow...

[Here's one(1) vampire currently leaning against the railing of his apartment's balcony, looking a little contemplative today. He takes a moment to puff on the cigarette he was currently working on before acknowledging the SFC.]

People always say 'all of the colors in the rainbow' and assume those 8 are it. But, in reality, the number of color possibilities are endless. Even Black and white, which might be considered the end-points of the color spectrum, have different shades to them.

[He looks thoughtful a moment and smirks.]

And, to avoid the debate on whether black and white are actually colors, let's just go with the assumption that they are, just for this one question.

Anyway, with all of these colors out there, there's bound to be a few that represent one thing or another. People like association, so it's bound to happen that one particular color will mean something to a society or a group of friends or, even, a single person.

Are there any colors like that for any of you? Any that mean anything in particular?

Serph is nowhere to be found. People don't just disappear, ( can you tell its his first time losing someone, vatheon? ) and it's impossible to get answers out of these "locals" or whatever the hell you want to call them! And he wouldn't just die that easily, even he's better than that.

Just because he isn't around though, don't think that means we're defenseless. I'll be taking over as leader in the meantime, so if anyone has any business with the Embryon, you take it up with me. ( look at how he jabs himself in the chest. that means he's serious... )

Everyone else, report in.

[Video/locked from Sophie] [Cheria x Asbel post.]

[Asbel clears his throat.]

Could I have everyone's attention please.

My name is Asbel Lhant and I'm a friend of Sophie's from back home. Cheria and I would like to talk to everyone about some of the things Sophie has said over the Network.

[He looks off screen as if expecting a cue to continue.]

Sophie is... Really impressionable. She takes everything she hears literally and she doesn't understand the meaning behind some words or that some words and phrases can mean different things.

We're trying our best to educate her but we would really appreciate it if people didn't wouldn't teach her things that would be considered rude or vulgar.

If you have any questions, Cheria and I would be happy to answer them.

Thank you for your time and understanding Vatheon.

Was that okay, Cheria?

[OOC: Asbel and Cheria will both be responding to tags in this post :D]

The Sun Rises!

[A strange, fuzzy image comes over the SFC. Some may recognize this hazy green glowing dot as Issun! But he's not entirely present, it seems - it looks more like a projected image. His voice is a little distant, but that little guy's got some lungs, so his words come through loud and clear.]

Long time no see, Vatheon. But we don't have time to chit-chat too much, so let's just get right to the point! That thing up there is called Yami, and other big baddies Ammy and I have knocked out call it the "Emperor of Darkness". It's bigger than any myths. Orochi's story was one thing, but this thing's a bit of a bigger scale - what's going on right now is a battle between light and darkness. Not between a god and a demon, but between the forces of nature as it is.

You're all putting up a great fight, but you're missing the crucial element here! You need the sun to come out! Chibi's there, last I heard, but he won't be able to do it, he's too young to fight Yami's darkness. It's Ammy! Ammy needs to snap out of it and get back in there.

But she can't do it alone. She needs the help of everyone here, in Vatheon. I'm sure a lot of you at least know the strange white wolf that roams your city and helps people out - that's the great goddess Amaterasu! In fact, I think it's important you guys see her for what she truly is. Here's the latest thing I whipped up, as her Celestial Envoy!

D --> This is not an exact number
D -> But I thought it was slightly interesting

D --> Also

[Horribly filtered from other trolls]

D --> What do you do when an apology is not enough?

[Action]

[He'd chased Vriska out of the house to finish up on some last things, despite how warm and dizzy he feels. Now that it's all done with, he pushes himself up onto his feet- only to stop as the world spins and he wobbles in place for a bit. He squeezes his eyes shut until the feeling mostly passes except for his stomach, and then he goes to the door. The whole world feels like it's going to push out from under his feet, but he just leans against the doorway.]

Vriska?

3rd foggy night ▣ [anonymous text/private message within]

[Remember that anon who first sent messages shortly after the first of April? Well, guess who's leaving a nice little message on your network?]

I see that there are plenty of new faces, each as confused as the rest when we too arrived. I do hope most of you are well-met? Especially since it has been raining so very often this week. Such a soothing sound, the rainfall...

Though it would seem that a few are not so fond of it? It has me curious if it is simply personal preferences or because the human body is more susceptible to illness...

[...Weird. Nothing even vaguely threatening and a lacking mention of death. But then, that is likely because someone else already brought up that topic this week. For most, it ends there. But for a certain former detective...]

Day 115 - [Voice]

[Roxas normally doesn't have a problem using video on these things, but... Well, for some reason he doesn't feel like broadcasting his face right now.]

Is it weird to feel connected to someone you've got nothing in common with? Personality-wise, I mean. Like maybe you're in a similar situation, but you turned out completely different...

Guess I'm thinking too much lately.

[Filtered to Sora]
This is kind of stupid, but... Have you turned sixteen already?

Video

[The video turns on to bright, light grey, clouds; the only barrier between the sun and the beach. Raindrops fall onto the camera, but they're wiped off by the owner of the SFC, one vampire who's currently standing dressed only in an open button-down and loose, low-hanging jeans that are rolled up to above his knees, calf-deep in the ocean as the rain falls steadily from the sky.

Apparently, he likes to live on the edge with those clouds.]

“Heaven knows we need never be ashamed of our tears, for they are rain upon the blinding dust of earth, overlying our hard hearts.” Charles Dickens, Great Expectations.

Back home, I've heard it said that God is in the rain just as He is in the sun's rays...

[So, then, why is it only the sun that burns?]

Rain is grace; rain is the sky condescending to the earth; without rain, there would be no life...and yet, people hide away from the rain and seek shelter inside and curse nature for ruining their bright and sunny day. Why?

[Finally he turns a small, vaguely sad, smirk to the camera.]

What about all of you? What are your qualms with the rain? Does it have any sort of significance for you personally or back home? Or is it just the thing that hides the sun from your face~?

[Video] - Moving Out - 009

((Backdated to the 26th))

Lunaday, Ifrit-Redecan 20, ND 2018

( Details and words if you want them! )

[When the video kicks in, Guy's plopped to a seat on the carpeting of the lower floor of one of the Yutopil apartments, a box of books at his side. He's already sporting an impressive wrapping around one elbow and a couple smaller bandages around his hand, but his high spirits seem to show he doesn't really mind them at all. He takes a second to grab a cushion from the nearby couch and throw it overhanded at someone off-screen, laughing as it makes very obvious contact with its target (if the quiet curse isn't evidence enough) before turning his attention to the feed.]

Hahah, ah, for those that care to know! Luke and I have moved down to a larger apartment by the Nostalgia Nook. If you need the address, feel free to shoot me a message.

As for everyone else: answer something for me, if you'd like! Back in your own worlds, what would you have considered home to be? Did you live in one place all your life, or were you a traveler? And hey, what kind of living space would you prefer if you had the chance?

9th Combo - [Video]

[The feed comes on with Lloyd looking off to the side, talking to someone off screen.]

-sure wish I could have turned homework in like this back home! Then even if I waited until the last minute I could still-

Oh, hey, it's on.

[Lloyd looks into the camera, looking incredibly pleased with himself.]

Professor, we did it! We got our homework done! And we're even getting it in early.

[Before the original two week deadline, in fact! ~~Are they trying to give Raine a heart attack?~~

He doesn't seem to realize that this isn't locked to Raine at all, that everyone can see this.]

Here, you can read it now. I wrote the stuff in blue, and Luke did the stuff in black.

[That said, he turns the starfish around so that the view takes in a table with five pieces of paper on it.]

( Cut for large image and horrible handwriting. And spelling. And grammar. And... )

[OOC: Replies may come from either Luke and/or Lloyd. o/ Context for those interested.]

[Ky's sitting formally at the desk in his apartment, his back straight and the cup of tea he had been sipping on set aside for the moment. This is a far less formal matter than things he's spoken of before, in many ways. He's trying to get other people's opinions for the simple reason that he's curious, and nothing more.]

Is there any one person you would say has made you who you are? Whose opinion you automatically trust, or trusted, more?

[Ky's had a lot more time to think about questions like this since he's been in Vatheon, and certainly he thinks he's learned a lot from questions that other people have asked, even if they don't have immediate or direct consequences. And Zelda's recitation of what the scientist had said, about them having to be heroes, had struck home. How did people learn to be heroes, after all?]

If so, why them? Did it just happen, or did they do something to make you trust them?

And if not, how did you work things out on your own?

✽Fourteenth Post - Video✽

[Coming over the SFC, it's Mrs. Brisby again! She seems tired, but in good spirits. She's got a bit of a cough, but it's not that much.]

Please excuse my absence. I got distracted for a while.

I haven't done anything with other people in a long while, though. If anyone would like to set up something, that'd be quite lovely. The house is pretty empty, sometimes.

10 ♐ Text /Action ♐ Brawn and Brains

D --> As I am sure we are all well aware
D --> Vatheon holds a great deal of individuals who are combat capable
D --> However besides the sporadic bursts of invasions and strange occurence, we do not often get a chance to use them
D --> To keep ourselves in shape
D --> Recently I saw an advertisement for something called a Host Club
D --> Has anyone thought to create a group with a less frivolous goal in mind such as sparring with others equal to their own combat ability?
D --> Groups for beginners, veterans, everything in-between
D --> It would seem a bit more efficient than sporadically posting on the network, hoping for a suitable sparring partner
D --> At the very least, an obstacle course would be nice to have.

D --> Also
D --> This city needs to expand on its selection of books

[Private to Mindfang]
D --> I was just wondering
D --> Could we
D --> perhaps
D --> talk?

[Private to Psiioniic]
D --> I was thinking of changing our usual routine just slightly
D --> The weather on land has taken a turn for the pleasant
D --> Would you like to go up their for our usual exercises?

[ACTION]

[For those wondering about the random outburst of books as a subject in the public entry, well... They might just notice, if they're out and about the city shops today, a certain tall troll working in a bookshop. Just keeping things tidy, sorting the books properly, that sort of thing.]

[Feel free to ask him for help. Despite the fact that he's still tall and built like a tank and has sharp teeth, he's not wearing his armor today which helps a little bit in the intimidation factor.]

[Yes that is a sweater vest.]

Video | Only viewible by men (yes this includes Faris) - Recruitment

[Vatheon's most desirable red-head seems to be in top form today, settled back in a well stuffed armchair and dressed to impress. There's flowers in frame behind him, roses as always, and a smirky grin plastered on his face. Someone is planning something...]

There's a problem in this town, Vatheon. So many lonely hunnies, just wanting someone to talk to, to share some companionship with - and I know what you've all heard about me but I really do mean companionship here, not the other thing (so Ky don't jump down my throat). I heard tell that there used to be a host club here in Vatheon and I think it's high time it was revived! So here's an open call for any interested parties who want to provide a vital service to the community ♥

We'll be holding open interviews and auditions for the next two weeks in the ballroom of the casino. We'll be looking at all your talents as well as general amiability and charisma, so bring your A-game~

[Filtered to Peony, Guy, Ioder, and Duke]
Guy your presence is mandatory! I'll hunt you down and drag you there myself if I have to~

Everyone else, I'd appreciate the help. Ioder and Duke, you need to get out more and Peony I'm pretty sure you'd enjoy a gig like this. If you could drag that smart-face friend of yours that'd be great too. At the very least he'll be an asset in the organizational department but without his glasses.. well damn.

So I'll see you all at the casino within the next couple hours!

[Johnny can be seen leaning against the bar in his tavern, grinning like a kid on Christmas day.]

Heeelllo, everyone~ Due to recent events, Fai and I kinda went bake-crazy.

[He pans the SFC around to show the rest of the counter and a few select tables covered in almost every kind of dessert imaginable.]

There's no way we can eat this all by ourselves, nor do I think we really want to~ Any volunteers for helping us~? Feel free to just come on by and grab some for yourself, a loved one, a special occasion, whatever~ we just need it gone.

Oh! Crow~ley~! I made something special for you, so be sure to come by and get it~~

[OOC: Action is encouraged and threadjacking for anyone else who shows up in the tavern is definitely okay <3]

[Technology is hard. It's hard and no one understands. But Ryu has at least figured out some of the buttons! This may or may not be a good thing, depending on your point of view. But Ryu is looking down into the camera, his expression thoughtful.]

That can't be the right date... that was only two months ago or something like that. ... Oh. Um. Hi everyone! I'm Ryu, if I haven't met you yet. I have a question. ... A couple questions, actually.

I sort of get what a birthday is, but what do you do for it? And... uh... does it count if you weren't ever really 'born'?

[Because what, he doesn't understand. 8( ]

Uh... that's all. Thanks.

[He shuts off the video.]

[Video] [Action for Forest]

[The video turns on and... it's partly covered by something scaly. When said scaled thing slithers off, the screen reveals a blue-haired boy, with a horse standing near him. He's sitting on a tree stump, and there's birds near him, too. There's also a deer that comes up behind him to sniff at his hair.]

[He laughs, and reaches up to pet it on the neck. One of the birds takes off and perches on his shoulder. The boy smiles and gently pets it on the head, before the snake from earlier comes to slither onto his lap.]

[He blinks, and looks over towards the SFC. He points to it, and the deer picks its way around the other animals to pick it up in its mouth and bring it back over to him. He takes it from the deer and shuts the video off.]
