[There's something odd about this post: for one it's on purpose and two, it's a voice one. Something seem off? Could be by the tone of her voice.]

I have a question for you, Asgard: is it wrong to wish others from home were with you here?

[It's just that line before she cuts it. Yeah, she's feeling a bit lonely.]

[ As the video opens, the only thing one can see is silver hair, not very long but pale and beautiful. Then the image moves to reveal a young girl of violet eyes wearing a dress which bears one of her breasts. She looks no older than sixteen and seems puzzled and also, quite angry. ]

There had been a maid representing House Sigyn who told me she had given me all the answers she may give but would not answer my most urgent of questions.

Where are my two other children? I will have words with the supposed gods of this city and with anyone who lingers in it. I am not a child to be tossed about with no words of explanation.

[ as she speaks, though, a black shadow comes to hover near her shoulder. Red eyes and black scales - a dragon; a live, vibrant looking dragon. She places a hand on his body and at once looks more determined. ]

I am the blood of the dragon and dragons are not to be entrapped. I demand to know where are my other two dragons and I want them back.

I will hear answers of how I have been brought here and what exactly is here, as I still fail to understand the concept of a city without magic.


[ ooc; very open to anyone in the Sigyn district! ]

It's a wonder fungus isn't starting to grow.

[The disgruntled voice of none other than Hermione Granger appears on the feed. In the background, there is...splashing. Too much of it. Someone left the water running.]

I wonder if fire will make some of it evaporate? Has anyone tried?

[A split second later, the splashing pauses - she has stopped moving - and there is the distinct crackling of a fire sparking to life.]

Steam would be preferable. At least then it could be dispersed by simply opening a few windows.

[Well, the rising waters have flooded Lyon and Frey's brand new first floor apartment in Baldr district, just shy of a week after moving into the place.  That would be cause enough for annoyance, but the fact that the Prince has been missing for the past day far outweighs any worry that might be caused by a little water.  Lyon knows that he would never just run off on his own without telling her where he's going, so she figures something has to be up here, and given the gods' recent rash of irritating tricks, she's got the worst in mind.

In her rush to find out where he's gone or been kidnapped to, Lyon is heading to several places throughout Asgard.  First she's checking the streets of Freya district, which is where the Prince was living before they moved into their apartment.  Next she heads to Draupnir over in Freyr district - their mutual place of employment.  After that, she'll just be striding through the streets of every district in Asgard in turn, as quickly as the rising tides will allow her and with her sword at her side.  This is a knight on a mission.]

Frey!  Frey, where are you?

— cazzo, be careful!

[ good morning, asgard. claudia is looking... not as lovely as she, usually, does: plainly dressed, jeans and t-shirt. someone has introduced her to the wonders of (pink) rain boots, though, so she doesn't look particularly wet, at least. her makeup is plain, too, and nevermind the irritated air about her. it's not the flood — well, it is in as much the flood has forced her from her brother's side. so it isn't irritated so much as livid and sick with worry; she hides it well. but her surroundings look better, despite the circumstances: fine walls and the beginnings of even finer details. the women, fully-fleshed and -colored natives, look equally fine, too. one woman is standing on a table, her wide skirt held close, while another woman looks exasperated. too far to hear their conversation. someone is moving another table behind them. ]

I require hands — strong hands, whether you have been blessed by Thor or not. I will be damned if this flood makes my money wasted, e I would appreciate help in some heavy lifting. I promise the building is sound: you have no worries of safety. And you will be compensated for your trouble, of course. But hurry, per favore. [ most of that sentence is said in a sigh. ] There is only so much water damage that can be had before things aren't worth saving. [ another sigh. ] Grazie mille.

[ the feed remains for several seconds, only as a charming view of flood water and rain boots and claudia's voice, as she begins moving. someone is very testy, today. "what part of 'careful' do you not understand!" "sorry, ma —" ]

[Wandering around city, Zessica had made her way into Gefion Park and spent the last hour or so simply looking at everything. She eventually found a bench by the side of the lake and sat down to enjoy the atmosphere, though it wasn't long before she brought up the bracelet's display and made a video for the network.]

Exploring's been going well, but now I have another issue to deal with. The free rent and food and stuff is nice for sure, but you need money for most things. [A thoughtful look crosses her face.]

What I want to know is what sort of jobs are available here, and how do I try and get one? It'd need to be with some of you guys, since the locals are pretty... dull. Plus, conversations with people from other worlds can't be lacking.

[There's a grin now.]

While we're at it, gimme a few ideas for places two people can go. Make 'em fun, too.

[Trucy's been thinking over this whole newfound family thing since the big reveal, and surprise surprise, just thinking the same thing in circles wasn't being very productive, so she decided to try something new.]

Hey, does anyone here have a brother? What's he like??



[She goes to turn the feed off, only to stop at the last second to add:]

Also, since it doesn't look like we're all going home after all, does anyone need an entertainer for their shop? I can't provide references as they're all back home, but my talent speaks for itself.

[today on the network, there's a video of a purple-haired woman, looking impeccably styled and made up as usual. she'll clear her throat and wave to the camera before speaking up]

Hello, Asgard! If we haven't met already, my name is Rarity, and I do hope we'll all get along nicely! I hope all of you are settling in nicely since your arrival.

However, today I am not just here to introduce myself. I have a very important question!

Might anyone be familiar with the process of acquiring some real estate outside of the rooms we are given in our Houses? I am familiar with how to do so in Ponyville, but I assume acquiring any sort of establishment here may be a bit different! You see, I would rather like to open my boutique here, if possible ... !

[she sighs, wistfully recalling the Carousel Boutique in Ponyville, where everything had been set up just the way she liked -- her studio, her shelves, the counter, the fitting room ... but she'll shake it off, and clasp her hands together with a smile]

Thank you very much in advance for your help!

[The feed starts a bit jittery as Himari proceeds to set the bracelet down on a table before sitting down in a chair in front of it. She gives a small wave and a smile to her bracelet, and then starts to speak.]

Hello! I'm Himari, and I say welcome to everyone who has just arrived! [Yes Himari, keep doing this every time you post to the network. It's so helpful.] --But today, the Great Himari has an announcement for all of you! Only honest responses are allowed!

[And with a bit of a playful huff, she brings up a bag that was previously on the floor up to her lap and continues talking while unbuckling it.]

You see, lately I've had some free time on my hands and I'm not sure of what to do with it! So I thought, maybe it would be fun to do things for other people--and that's when I realized I could do this! Tada! [And out of her bag, she takes out a very seamlessly knit sweater that could comfortably fit on someone her own size. She holds it up for a few seconds, before laying it down on her lap.] I haven't really knitted or sewn anything since I arrived here, but I think I'm still good at it. So...

[After a pause, she clears her throat and speaks in a more ~professional~ tone. And by professional, it means she sounds like someone straight out of an infomercial ran by a 13-year-old.]

If someone would like to have anything made for them, please tell me what you want and I'll get right on it! Free of charge, my treat!

[She then waves at the feed once, and then stands up and shuts it off.]

[imagine for a second that you are a pony. You have hooves, isn't that interesting? If you were hypothetically in front of a keyboard, you wouldn't use those to type, right? You would use your nose! Well, even though Apple Bloom has had fingers for a while now, this is still her first instinct. So... she begins typing the following in a painfully slow manner... typing with your nose is hard, after all]

hey did everypony [backspace, backspace backspace] everyperson see all the colors? they sure are ni

[this typing is taking far too long, and Apple Bloom has had enough. Letting out a little huffy noise, she stops tying, and switches her bracelet to video mode]

Geez that takes way too long! I dunno how folks have the patience to type anythin' at all! Maybe there's a trick to it, but I think I'll just use the video device thingy.

So! Like I was sayin' all the colors came back! I guess that means we did our job huh? 'Bout time, I guess this means we can all go home now! [there's a pause as she thinks about that, and then after a moment of thought she actually looks disappointed] But we'll all be able to see each other again, right? Like, maybe the Gods can let us keep our bracelets and we can all talk to each other when we're back home? That'll work, right?

[hm...] Unless any other pony's got an idea for when we all go home?

( Spira House )


With Blonde Bombshell’s influx of business, we’ve decided to hire two additional workers. We are looking for anyone with Blacksmithing experience. If you are interested then come over to the shop and fill out an application. You can find us over in the Heimdall district.

Now that that's done, how is everybody?

[ooc: Job app can be found over on this page. You can post it there too.]

[When the audio clicks on, there's really nothing to listen to at first but the sound of the wind. Riku's somewhere up high, the roof of some building in Freya probably. And for a while he doesn't say a word until he sighs, and his voice sounds a little hollow.]

More people arriving again. They still give no explanation for it all. [Just the sliiightest bit of contempt in his voice.]

...Just make sure you all stick and stay, okay?

[Because Riku's spent the past few days running around like crazy looking for Sora and Kairi after finding their numbers unreachable and out of service. After all the work and promise to get her to remember Sora, it's all down the drain now. Back somewhere oblivious while Riku has to deal with the saving the world deal. Something Sora's better at.

He pauses, and scoffs lightly to himself. There's something metallic flying through the air; he's slashing at the air with his sword out of boredom.]

Anyone looking for a sparring partner? I need to get a few things off of my mind.

[ welp. fujimoto has discovered his so called power...!!! he's not extremely impressed with it, considering he's an evil sea wizard back home and everything.

...but that doesn't stop him from drawing lots and lots of bubbles on a big pad of paper and letting them float around freyr's kitchen, as well as a couple lifeless imitations of sea creatures -- namely paper-like lanterns that resemble jellyfish -- he's not extremely concerned because after so long, they disappear (and if it bothers anyone else well he doesn't care about that either). anyone in freyr might actually notice he's got two large buckets with a leg in each one as he sits there. he seems frustrated that he can't draw real sea creatures and have it work.



but he keeps doing it anyway.] There is no point to this.

[ he looks up as if remembering he had a purpose with this bracelet thing, pushing some water-filled bubbles aside. ] ... I'm in need of some parts. If someone could tell me where to obtain a hose...some metal.... tools.... and a medium-sized tank ... I would




appreciate it.

[ there's an awkward pause accompanied by an awkward, sort of nervous stare... and then the feed cuts and he goes back to mumbling to himself at his silly wizard business. ]

[ Here's a face that hasn't been seen often lately although if the way she seems to be staring intently off screen isn't a hint that she's been busy with other matters, her words are sure to clue her audience in. She pauses in what she's doing for a second to look at her bracelet, smiling warmly. ]

Hey, everyone! I know it's been a while since I've talked to any of you. [ A small, awkward giggle rings from her like she's been caught red-handed. She casts her eyes away, even as she continues to talk. ] I guess my new job's kept me busier than I expected.. -There! [ A book briefly makes its appearance in her free hand as she slots it into the shelf next to her. Kairi's attention then returns to the viewer, sheepish. ] You guys sure read a lot of books!

Anyway, I was thinking... Has anyone ever done murals before? I mean if you haven't, that's perfectly fine! I was just thinking that maybe it would be something to make the city feel a bit more like home. I found some paint and brushes earlier this week, but- [ Another laugh as she tilts her head and threads a hand through her hair. ] -I'm not sure if it'll be enough if a lot of people decide to do this, so! If anyone has anymore to offer or even if you just bring a brush for yourself, that would really help!

[ There's a pause as she scrunches her nose in thought. ] I'm thinking around the hospital might be a good place to start, but if you have any other ideas of where we could paint them, I'd be happy to hear them!

( ooc: Kairi's had this idea in her head ever since speaking to Enma (Pssst. Your fault~ ;D) and now she'd really love to set something up to go all out with this! I'm thinking I'll be posting a log tomorrow (to which I will edit a link into this post, so look out for it~ =B) for shenanigans be it paint fights, INTENSE ARTING, hurpa-durp-we-fail doodling, WRECKING HAVOC ON HARD WORK ('Wait- Was that mustache there before...?'), and more!

As a side note, if anyone wants to continue any prior threads with me, you are more than welcome to give me a heads up at my Ping!Box. I know I've been sparse here lately and I might have missed or lost the notifs. @@; And for that, I do apologize! )

[Jake keeps it short but sweet as he sits in the lounge, television off.]

...Has anyone seen a girl by the name of Jade?
She looks a fair bit like me, but a bit younger, with long hair.
I haven't. [A pause.] I haven't seen her in a few days...
I've just grown to be ever so worried about her.

[woop woop, hey asgard. seth's pacing back and forth, if the changes in scenery behind him are anything to go by, and he's obviously restless—he's missed being able to phase, sure, but not like this. if he weren't stuck as a human right now, he could be doing so much more, but his human body has limits that his wolf body doesn't.]

If anybody in Heimdall's injured, or—any other district, I can help. Or, I can absorb damage, but I'm really strong so I can probably take extra.

[he wipes absently at a smear of soot on his cheekbone.]

Being a human sucks. [no offense or anything.] Being weak really sucks. What are we supposed to do about this?

I mean, it's not like I don't know about fighting, but I've definitely had enough war to last me basically my entire life—and who the hell is Muspellwhatever, anyway? [anyone who knows seth should know how hard it is to get him to swear.]

This sucks.

[seth's a really good follower, but there's a reason he was never head of the pack: he doesn't know how to direct his energy in a crisis. so after another moment or two of restless pacing, he shakes his head and mutters,] Could really use an alpha right now. [then shuts off his video.]

...


... ...

... Dragons do exist.
I feel like I owe Nirinel money now... or a favor...

Pl. Please tell me if you need any help. I, I can be very strong if you let me! I, I don't get tired easily, I mean! So please... allow me to aid you!

[when the video switches on, there's a girl chewing on her lip thoughtfully]

This is on and talkin', right? [she squints at it, and then waves... testing testing] Okay! Um.... hey folks! I just had a question, so I figured I should ask like this.

[there's a short pause] If you haven't seen somepony around for a while... Where do ya' think they could be hidin'? I know this place is pretty big, so are there any places where somepony couldn't answer their bracelet-thingy? Or maybe it's broken? Can they break?

If anypony's got any ideas, let me know, okay?

[somepony has been looking for her big sis]

[ The feed cuts on to reveal a startled-looking Harry. He's seen stone statues move; brutish, nigh unkillable warriors tear men to pieces; and a mythical city beyond imagining, but this hologram business will take some getting used to.

He affects a cool and collected expression. ]

I reckon it's about time I properly introduced myself. The name's Flynn, Harry Flynn. I arrived here around a week ago, and – that's the long and short of it, really. Was it the same for everyone else? With the weird girl and the cryptic message.

[ He diverts his eyes to read something off-screen. ]

Blah, blah, blah... “in order to preserve this world and the one from whence you came, you must flourish within this city.” Sounds a bit threatening, doesn't it?

[ Yeah, he'll let that thought linger. ]

[Audio again! It's what Euri is most comfortable with, and typing still takes her way too long.]

I figured it would be a good idea to warn you all about a really dangerous criminal from my world. The gods have been picking some really bizarre new people to help save the world, so this is just in case he shows up!

[And then she abruptly switches over to video. Unfortunately, she's holding a picture up so it's impossible to actually see her.]

( Not cut ICly. )

This guy is a necromancer. If you don't know what that is go look it up in the library, but in simple terms it means he's dangerous. His name is Adel, but he goes by a bunch of other titles like 'the Harbinger', 'Black Death', 'Plaguebringer' and 'the Dead Walker'. If you see him let me know immediately! I'm a bounty hunter so I can take care of him.

[Then she switches back to audio.]

Oh, and - um - if anyone's interested, I've got a job at an apothecary. It's in the Freya's district, and it's pretty small so a lot of people should stop by and buy stuff! So I can get a raise....

((NOTE: The character in the wanted poster does not actually exist in Euri's world! I just needed someone who looked like him c: So assume they don't look exactly the same to avoid any potential future fourth wall breakage. Thanks~))
