[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.

If you didn't get one of the big prizes at the festival yet--

[It's nighttime when the camera adjusts toward one side of the room where there are several stuffed sharks, stars, and turtles in a big pile. Upon closer inspection, however, you'll be able to see that this isn't one of the regular bedrooms in the dome, but a practically bleach white hospital room.]

--I've got you covered.

[... He doesn't sound as enthusiastic as he could be about that, however. But, really, if you want one of these things, by all means just come back and get it. There's a brief blur of Axel's face which doesn't stay long enough for anyone to really get a good look at him, but just in case, he's definitely got a split lip and a gauze bandage over his right temple. There's some more shifting when his door opens and one of the happiest looking nurses in the world comes in to check on him.]

How's that hand feeling?

... I gotta go.

[And end feed.]

An Inquiring Mind Wants To Know [text; failed privacy filter from Minako]

[Through luck, Shinjiro had managed to find out it was a certain someone's birthday. Birthdays have never really been important to him. He's been poor all of his life, living off of what the government and eventually part-time jobs provided him. He and his best friend would get cake when they were younger, but that was about it. The one time he tried to change that...well, he'd approached it the wrong way through thievery (and was promptly punished for doing so by his best friend).

Things are a little different here in Vatheon. He can help make her day special without digging into his pocket. But since money isn't an issue, choosing the right gift is.

Now he must reach out. Text was a good way not to get too social with a person, so he thought.]

what's a good birthday gift for a girl?

⚜ elev- I mean, one [ video ]

[ Someone's soaked. And he's someone that disappeared about three weeks ago today. He's... not in a very good mood, but then again, when is he ever? ]

Okay, which one of you was it!?

[ Yeah... definitely not in a good mood. ] Zelda!? Maybe you, Kohaku!? Shing!? Zelos or Lloyd!?

[ He wipes his face off with a towel. ]

I take a nap for one hour and then I wake up soaking wet and in front of the Coral!? [ Clearly, Occam's Razor says someone did this as a prank, and he didn't just disappear and come back without remembering it. ]

01 | kinda-but-not-really-accidentally-video?

--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! )

3rd Doujinshi | Video

[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.]

Wait, hold up.

I had a tail this past curse. A tail. A fluffy, fuzzy, fun little tail.

... And I didn't have the emotional capacity to do anything with it?! Unfair!

By the way, Rin, I'm getting you back for all the times you bapped me on the nose with my tail while I was out of it.

[ She points at the SFC window. ]

You have been warned.

[ She sighs, then smiles again, though it's a bit sheepish. ]

So, ah ... I guess I haven't exactly been myself for the past few weeks. I'm sorry I was so moody, to anyone I actually talked to while like that.

That said, I'm doing a lot better. How are you doing, Vatheon?

30th Combo - An adult at last!

~Vatheon, Vatheon, guess what, guess what?
I'm eighteen, an adult, huzzah, huzzah~!

[For once, Lloyd doesn't seem to mind that he's bursting into song. Hey, if there's any occasion where singing is appropriate, a birthday is definitely it! And this curse means he's actually good at it, even if he can't necessarily control the impulse to sing.]

Entry tags:

002; [ video ]

When people said that curses could affect you in any way possible, I should've taken them at their word, huh? I know that I might not always be the most talkative guy in the world and the extra push to be social is appreciated, but I think I'd rather go back to not talking to anyone than not being able to stop.

It's a down right pain in the ass. But I guess that's what this place specializes at, doesn't it?

Does anywhere around here sell duct tape? Maybe that'll fix the problem.

...taking the "sea of my soul" thing a bit too literally, isn't it...?

[Someone is fiddling experimentally with the SFC, although she doesn't seem to realize immediately that she's succeeded in activating it. Instead, Minako holds it up in front of her to study it thoughtfully, with several hairpins sticking out of the corner of her mouth and a towel draped over her damp and tousled hair, looking back and forth between the SFC and something a bit to the side of it that she seems to be holding up in her other hand.

Then abruptly she brightens.]

Ah, it's doing something!

[The hand that's not holding the SFC quickly drops - there's a brief flash of a blue key in it before she stuffs that into a pocket to free up a hand long enough to get the hairpins out of her mouth.]

Igor? Theo?

[A beat, and then a shake of her head and a rueful smile.] --as though they'd use something like this when he can just call my phone whenever he wants.

[She sighs a little, still wearing that lopsided smile, and begins looking around her again.]

It'd be nice to hear someone's voice, though...

[There's a dissipating shower of purple flecks behind Walter, this time with more black and belts, when the feed comes on. More than that, half the trademark severity from his features has gone—he's clearly not in the mood to punch someone's lungs out. Which is new.]

Vatheon—[he grasps the cloth wrapped around his hair and pulls it off, suddenly seeing no point in it. His tone is softer from its usual guttural gruffness.]

. . . What's a soul?

action;

[After a moment of waiting, Walter cranes his neck to the side. He hasn't come to the abandoned village in months; the area's about the same as the images his memories convey him. And now, he's a little more keen about disregarding appearances to dig around.

He slides in and out of the broken buildings, taking a moment to wander each interior before moving onto the next. His hands are smeared with grime in minutes, and he rubs the flat of his fingertips against his thumb at a juncture. It's all so familiar in a way, yet he feels nothing more than . . . apathy.

People lived here, once. Probably.

Outside, he leans against what remains of a wall and looks up, his arms crossed.]

Voice

[As the feed turns on, there is the sound of the familiar voice.]

Hm? Is anyone there? Can anyone hear me?

What do you think Musharna? Do you think anyone can hear us?

[There wasn't anything she said in return but Bianca simply let out a giggle]

You're right, we don't know until we respond back! So here goes! [Ahem] Hi, everyone, I'm Bianca! I don't know what happened but...I think I'm back in Vatheon? Um...wasn't it a dream?

first equation ; video/text/action

[This may seem like an accidental broadcast, and in some ways it is, but the person on the other end with the mint-green hair appears to be rather intently focused on the SFC. He's pressing buttons, attempting to understand the device via trial and error. The video goes on and off a couple of times, before eventually coming on and staying on.

Whoever he is, he's every bit the new arrival in appearances, with that mess of hair sopping wet, and his white button down and black undershirt just as damp. Not that he's bothered any. Even the fact that his bangs are hanging in his eyes doesn't stop him from keeping his attention completely on the SFC. Something tall and furry is also wandering around behind him, poking it's snout over his shoulder from time to time to stare at what's in this teenager's hands with intense bright blue eyes.

Eventually text accompanies the video.]

Hello

[Before he can continue type more, though, the creature reaches over with a clawed paw and takes it away from him, making the view shift wildly, and it prompts the teen to speak, though he hardly seems angry.]

Zoroark, give that back. I wasn't finished.

[The creature doesn't speak, but it gives a look to N, and it turns it over so that the video is on his face completely. N's voice can still be heard speaking to him, though.]

Yes, I know, we'll find something to eat later. Taking my things away isn't going to make me go any faster.

[The Zoroark huffs, and as he goes to hand the SFC back the video feed turns off. Oops.]

[action: plaza]

[N has managed to find the towels on his own, but he might still seem a little lost, and he's got a hungry Zoroark that keeps pawing at him even as he tries to get his mass of hair dry. It's an interesting scene to watch, at least?]

video | hide yo' kids, hide yo' wife

Oh, fun.

[And he really does mean that, which is odd considering curses. Axel sets his communicator down a little ways away so he can show off some new duds (minus that sneaky chakram there, but you get the point, right?).

... He could probably do without the thong, but, uh, pretend it's not there. Even if its showing.]

Who else woke up with a wardrobe change?

[Careful if you choose to respond, by the way. ... He's got his eye on that thing you've got there and may or may not really, really, really want it for himself.]

this might sound silly but could i have a hug?

[ She's not really directing this at anybody in particular. She just found out parts of her family are no longer here and she's ... not handling it too well. She'll take a hug from anyone willing to give one. ]

[♥] dream.

(( OOC: video version here ♥ ))

( Can you hear me, dad? I'm doing okay... it took a while, but I finally got your message. )

[Yukari awakens gradually. Despite her dream, it isn't unpleasant, so she doesn't even feel the need to open her eyes. In fact, she'd rather not, knowing that the dream was just broadcast to absolutely everybody. Her eyes are probably still wet too -- maybe even a little red. So instead, she reaches over to her SFC to switch off the video feed; violently, much in the way one would hit snooze on an alarm clock.

Now that it's over with, she wants to just curl up and get some sleep that is actually restful. But instead, she finds herself lying awake.

Thinking . . .]

dream;

[It’s a forest—or rather, an open space in the middle of one, with a building nearby. A settlement, in other words. Their home for the meantime.

In that open space, there's Ryner and Tiir, with Ryner pinning the latter to the ground as he shouts.]

So, I’m being deceived? Humans aren’t my friends? Then where are my friends? Here? These cowards who ran away into the mountains? But you guys only ever run away! You’re just afraid of trusting people and getting hurt again! Such cowards don’t have the right to judge my friends…

10th Unison Attack - Birthdays - [Video]

[This really isn't a serious question at all, and she's smiling when she turns the feed on.]

When I first arrived here, my birthday happened not long after. It was kinda close to being my birthday back home too... And now my birthday's past again, so am I seventeen now or eighteen?

[She tilts her head. She doesn't really feel like she's older anyway. She'd been meaning to ask this before, but she got a bit busy and it didn't really seem that important. But she is curious.]

Ninth transmission [video]

[Well this is a sight that hasn't been seen in a long while, Maka making a broadcast! She seems a little harried, but not necessarily irritated. She clearly has some business in mind.]

It's like everyone around the house is going crazy all of a sudden, what with all these items going missing.

[AHEM-HEM--but--]

Listen, everyone, you might have noticed a new face around the network a lot. Stern looking guy, about my age, stripes in his hair? That's Kid, he's a friend from my world and, um...

[UM, dammit Maka, stop saying um.]

I'm sorry for any odd behavior he's shown, he's a little neurotic. But in the same token, don't aggravate him, he can't actually help being neurotic--it's literally coded into his DNA...same with his hair. Yes, the stripes are natural, no he can't dye them out. So don't bother asking.

A-anyway, thanks for your time. [There's a short nod aaaand feed end.]

Soooo--

[Axel shows up on screen and from what you should be able to see, he hasn't got anything on from the waist up. Not like this bothers him. At least not too much.]

A quick question.

[He shrugs and after a beat turns around to show someone's red coat in his hand instead.]

Who ever thought this many buttons would ever pass as a fashion trend?
