yo it's me again ✌️

sort of noticed a lot of questions going around about love and dating and all kinds of other stuff
figured i throw some more into the pot
see what we could uh cook up haha

[ Ignis, if you hear this, he's not really that sorry. ]

anyway so

say you were seeing somebody and they had these secrets
like stuff they never told you
would that be a deal breaker if they ever came up
(guess this goes for people who are the ones with the secrets too)

or what if there was something you wanted to tell someone but weren't really sure how to go about doing it
easy in like all up front or ignore it and hope for the best? 🤔

oh oh and one more thing
anyone here a sword expert?
don't answer if you're thinkin about 🍆💦
serious stuff only

[ Honestly, he doesn't care too much for that last part, but he had to be specific. ]

001. Video. Hi Ghosts, it’s me, ya boi

[ Hi Prisma, have a frowning seventeen year old with way too much gold in his hair show up on your feed.

Now, Jin Ling has never bothered to introduce himself on the network. At first because the tech was completely foreign to him and then because it seemed like a hassle and let’s be real the boy has no manners.

But he’s on a Quest, now, so he’ll deign to speak to the common folk, for once.

.. ... ... it’s not like he’s desperate, or anything. ]

Alright, listen. I’m looking for a ghost. Any ghost. Or general undead, if we have to be picky, here. So if you or someone you know fits this description then you better tell me!! I’m going to help you get rid of some of your resentful energy!!

[ Jin Ling seems to think everything he just said is totally reasonable and makes sense. So he doesn’t even bother to explain before moving on. ]

If you aren’t a ghost but you’re in trouble you can tell me, too!! I need to help someone so that I— Look, it’s not important!! So don’t ask questions just let me help already!!

I’m good at helping, especially if it involves swords, archery, or dogs.

[ A pause, a deeper frown: ]

How do I turn this off any—-

[Video - Available to Both Moonblessed and Natives (even if there aren't any being played as PCs)]

[Didn't she just make a video today? NO. That would be her younger sister, and the keen of eye might even be able to realize there are hereditary similarities between the two. But there are differences also. For example, this particular white-haired woman appears much more...stiff. Even if she's not wearing her uniform anymore, her squared shoulders and lifted chin seem to scream 'MILITARY!' even in a soft and fuzzy gray sweater.]

Greetings. My name is Winter.

[Some of you might remember her all the way back from summer when she made a very detailed presentation on what types of moonlacing were and were not acceptable. This time, she's not asking for help. She's offering it.]

It has come to my attention that when we return to our worlds, we lose all memories of this one. It would seem that our actions do not matter.

[She drops her gaze for a moment, reinforcing her resolve to remain professional. Her emotions are starting to leak through just the same.]

But I would very much like them to, for the duration of my stay. Consider this an open invitation to seek my aid for any troubles you might have. If I am unable to render assistance, then I will help you find someone who can. The impression I leave behind will not be forgotten. I would have it be one of fond remembrance rather than hedonistic selfishness. I don't require compensation. I don't desire it either.

[Her jaw tightens, and her brow furrows.]

This is what I want to do. I am choosing it for myself. Seek me out if you have need of me, in public or in private.

That is all.

[Blip! And she's gone.]

careful, iris! if you wash your nesting materials too often, it'll weaken your sanguis' scent! take care of your hormones and always re-scent your materials IMMEDIATELY after washing!

send this to 5 people you know to spread the message, or else your nesting materials will wash out!

voice; un: nike

[It's been almost a month since her arrival. Nike has sensed the changes within the world and heard the voices from the natives. All of it felt oddly welcoming, a little sweet, maybe unsettling by the sudden waves of energy coming from the moons-filled nights, and maybe a little fear and some anxiety in-between especially after the events of the amphitheater. Which was happily taken care of. But now it was her turn to experience the next phase of the moon which was just around the corner...]

...um, I hope I'm doing this right. First time using such a....impersonal item. Something about using this to talk to a lot of people. Like using a microphone...? Just without the singing?

[That was the best way for her medieval mind to go around it. Just ignore the fact her country was far too advanced in a world that shouldn't be. A detail she has learned the reason of, but wasn't important right now.]

Um, right, so...I'm Nike. I arrived a while ago. And I was wondering: is there somewhere I can go when my phase of the moon pops up? Like a safe place I can hide away in...? I'm sorta alone. I don't have many people I trust here and those I do...I may have messed things up...

[By aggressively attacking their ears, going overboard with flattering, and just simply being more clingy than usual. Even she is embarrassed by it but he happened to look insanely gorgeous that day, more than usual....not that it was an excuse but...]

Anyway, is there anyone with powers similar to mine? Like sensing their surroundings and knowing what a large group of people feel? Or are able to hear the planet's voice or influence? I've been...having some trouble. I don't know how to explain it.... [More like she's been feeling very uncomfortable with herself, getting easily irritable, feeling more self-conscious than usual, and yet staring at herself more than she would like. Not to mention the cold chills traveling her spine and arms.]

Is it normal for your body to feel so cold while feeling pretty warm? Or just agitated in general? I don't know what to do...or expect. Any advice would be very appreciated.

[How should she end this? Um.....she's turning this off like now because what is talking to herself? This is weird. She doesn't like this.]

(ooc: Here is an opt-out post for anyone who wants to use it along with learning more details about Nike's powers with a permission form as well. I would appreciate it if everyone tagging this could take a look at it. Thanks!)

TEXT; UN: LOCALBIGSIS

I know this sounds like an odd question but I can't think of any better way to come up with an answer.

Say that you've just basically returned from the dead. Not a zombie or anything but well kind of but not really!

What should you give your friends as an apology gift? Flowers? Something more extravagant?

☽ III: video

[The video turns on to show a view of the apartments of Level 2 from what seems to be a fairly high vantage point looking down, as if the device is on a roof. While the user isn't visible on camera those familiar with Vanitas will probably recognize the doctor's voice.]

So many of you are fine with accepting that there's no way out of this place. Are you that easily distracted and complacent about being used by the Prismals? Do you just not have anything to go back to? Or maybe you just don't have something that this damned place is keeping you from doing...

[He laughs bitterly before stopping just as abruptly, voice dipping to almost a whisper.]

... Tch. Why am I wasting my breath?

[The video abruptly ends.]

first entry | un: magicalass | text

[ His username was... unfortunate. It was a decision he hadn't made for himself but one he was forced to use regardless of how he felt about it. If Stark was here then it would all make sense. ]

I've spoken with half a dozen Prismals and counting, yet none can tell me the following with any certainty.

- Why they can't produce Chroma for themselves.
- Why those brought from outside Prismatica can.
- How Moonlacing functions at its core.

If anyone else, perhaps not a local, has information please share it.

[ Stephen would ask for those who know him to come forward but those that do, will. ]

As to what I've read here:

- What physical changes have Moonblessed experienced?
- What is undeath?
- What are the age ranges of Moonblessed?
- Are Moonblessed really losing their genitalia?

[ There are more questions but Stephen's already 😑 concerned with a lot of what he's seen. ]

[ ooc: I'll have Stephen available for any event thing and his ooc intro post is over here if anyone wants to plot! ]

un; emiyashirou

[The young man that appears on the video looks extremely nervous and uncomfortable.]

Listen, with everything going on lately I haven't been able to...

[He sighs, starts over. He hates this. Asking for help is so hard, but he isn't the only one at risk if here.]

I noticed a while back that the more Chroma I have the easier it is to deal with... well... A particular situation that I have at hand. [Oh man, that terrible pun wasn't on purpose and he looks even more uncomfortable realizing that he did it.]

But I'm not very good at collecting Chroma. I have someone back home and I don't want to betray her. I was thinking, though, that for the brief time she was here she was pretty clear that she didn't want me to suffer.

I don't want to either, I guess. [That part is up for debate.]

This is me asking for people willing to help me out.

[He looks frustrated at the whole idea as soon as he says it.]

You know what, nevermind. This is stupid.

▶ 002. audio

It has been brought to my attention that some among us are concerned that the dead and undead may be a grave threat to those who reside in this city. [ He's a brat so he sure did link that article. ] Since that is the case, I thought I would propose a truly terrifying event that will strike fear in the hearts of all who live here.

[ INSERT DRAMATIC PAUSE HERE ]

A potluck.

[ A potluck, Archer?? ]

For those of you unfamiliar with the custom, it involves bringing your own favorite dish to a gathering and everyone sampling the food provided.

If you are dead, undead, or of supernatural origins, and would be interested in such a thing, let me know, and I'll be more than happy to organize it.

[ And with that, he cuts the feed. ]

01. TEXT

( It has taken Rita most of the time she's spent in Lunatia thus far to understand enough of this 'technology' to send out a broadcast. She's not the type to let such a little hurdle as unfamiliarity get in the way of reporting the news, and she is glad to announce her success with her very first article! )

UNDEAD YET DEADLY
The inhabitants of Lunatia might seem an uncouth lot, with their scales and their horns and other extraneous appendages. However, the natives of this world appear positively genteel when compared to who, or should I say, what walks amongst us, attempting to blend quietly into the shadows. Fortunately, I, Rita Skeeter, freelance journalist-for-hire, am here to shed light on the situation.

The Moonblessed by the name of ‘Ambrosine’, is a self-confessed practitioner of the Dark Arts. She is also known to post on this network under the alias of ‘undyingsoul’, which should tell you everything you need to know already. If you still require an explanation, know this: every magical child from the youngest of ages is taught that death is permanent. Any individual who attempts to meddle with mortality is faced with a fate worse than death: the eternal corruption of the soul.

Why does this matter, you might ask?

( article continues under the cut )

( After the main text in the article, smaller lettering reads: if you have leads which require any further investigation, or any information you would like me to know, please contact me here. The name, again, is Rita Skeeter. )

Hey, uh...

[A face fills the screen! Or rather an eye. Then there's a zoom-out, a head crowned with unruly, pulled back hair, some broad shoulders and-

And there's another zoom-in. Then a correction.]

Man, never thought I'd be on TV. This has gotta be like being on TV!

[A broad grin, a wound of white teeth against tanned skin.]

Wait, live? Uh, yeah! Okay, so!
I kind of wanted to know behind getting asked to go places to fix stuff every now and again, what do you guys do for... fun here? It's kind of...

[The camera's moving, up and down. One-armed squats. Yep.]

...dull.

Let me know, okay?
Man, I hope this works. I'm gonna lose my mind-

video | un: vivelafrance, IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT

[ The feed starts with Marie's face showing up again, over a week after her first post. Her pose is the same, composed and unflinching, but there are glaring differences between then and now; namely, the jellyfish tentacle hair replacing her twintails and the large swan wings that sprouted on her back just today. It's still a bit hard to adjust to them, but she looks not really distressed by the ordeal. ]

Bonjour à tous! It is me, Marie, again.

At the start of this month I have announced my birthday, and how I decided to celebrate it along with my new business' grand opening. Sure enough, the time has come for everyone to finally learn of the truth surrounding my project. It's with the greatest pleasure that I can finally bring this up...!

[ She rummages through something offscreen, then brings up a sign, painted in refined cursive and very fancy golden glitter and decorated with rose and other flowery drawings. ]

✨ SALON DE MARIE IS NOW HIRING! ✨

The business I am opening in a few days is a maid cafe! Everything is almost ready to be launched, except the most important part: the staff! I am looking for not only maids and butlers who would like to help me improve the happiness of Prismals and Moonblessed alike, but also other staff members like cooks and security. In order to apply, you need to compile your details over here and send it to me!

The grand opening is going to occur in the last day of Iris, on November 15th! The food will be free for this day, so do not worry about your Chroma funds! Just know that if you come with ill intentions, I shall not hesitate to kick you out myself if security didn't get you first!

[ She says... that... with her most amiable smile. ]

That is all for today! I hope many of you join me in this new adventure, and... Vive La France!

((OOC: There will be a log, hopefully on the 15th, for the grand opening. Use the links above to reach my info/application page if you want your character to join the business!

Also, the lovely Marie art in the first link was drawn by Chi (@gothard) so praise her for that!))

text. un: dracula.

hello everyone i have an interesting request

you see something has been brought to my attention and i just can't let it go without learning the answer

i'm sure most of us know the general blood-drinking lore, right

that virgin blood is the best blood and non-virgin blood just can't compare, because purity is important or something

but that's not why i'm here

i'm here for a vastly different comparison

vegetarians vs meat eaters

i've been drinking from nazis, ghouls, and other vampires for so long that i just don't know if i've even had a vegetarian, how sad is that

my point here is: i'm looking for blood donors, both vegetarian and meat eating, to make a comparison

the virgin thing doesn't matter, just what you eat, that's all i'll be comparing in this exercise

you have my word as a gentleman that if you decide to donate, i won't take too much

or turn you into a vampire

or kill you

even if you're into that kind of thing i might get in trouble with my mas~ter if i misbehave too badly

anyway, just some food for thought

feel free to weigh in with your opinion if you've had both sides of the coin

[Video...Sort Of]

[While this isn't anonymous per se, the screen is black, and doesn't show the person who's making the video. After a few seconds of silence, a piano begins to play. It's not CD quality, and there's a slight echo in the room, indicating it's probably recorded in someone's living space rather than a studio.]

[But the song is quiet, and pretty. It starts slow, illustrating the melody with a rhythmic series of chords. When it reaches the end of this section, the song picks up, the left hand scaling with quicker notes while never truly losing its initial timing. The melody elevates, passionate but delicate, and one might never guess that this much emotion could come from the slender fingers of cold, militaristic Winter Schnee.]

[Which is kind of the point of keeping herself out of view. What matters is the song, as it's one she's missed playing, and once her fingers were able to recall all of the notes she felt that it was worthy of being shared.]

[As the song descends back to the same serenity at the beginning, a small note appears in the lower right-hand corner.]

Thank you, Steve

[The song finishes, and the recording ends without a single spoken word from the player.]

☄ text / action

Considering much of the network's recent activity, I fear my inquiry is not particularly scandalous, nor is it especially thought-provoking, but please bear with me for just a moment.

I'm looking for someone skilled in enchantment, particularly in the field of weaponry. I may have some work for you, if you're willing to try something for me. A paying job, of course, should it happen to work out.

If that sounds like something that might interest you, then let me know and we can sort out the details.

video;

[The video opens on a man who couldn't be called old, neither did he exactly appear young though the way he's dressed suggests that he's some noble from some ancient time. There's a cup of tea beside him and as he moves and speaks, it's with a kind of ethereal grace.]

For those of you from Japan you may be aware that Obon season is upon us. For those not familiar with it, Obon is a time to honor those that have departed the world, celebrate their life and invite their spirits back into our own lives for a few days. That may sound rather somber but it's really quite a joyous affair.

Although the particulars are somewhat unique to Japan, I believe there are similar traditions all over the world. I'd love to hear about them if you are familiar with any of them.

I would also like to extend an invitation to a festival that we will be having in a couple weeks around our home in Caihong. [He says our home as if he's done anything to make his housemates or employees aware of these plans. Maybe this explains the boxes they have been piling up in the back of their estate as of late.]

Make your way to the teahouse, Tsukiyo on the 14th of this month for a night of festival food and dancing. Light a lantern for someone you care about and end it all with a bang. There will be fireworks, to put it plainly. It hasn't quite felt like summer without any as of yet, don't you agree?

I hope to see you all there.

[He pauses here to sip his tea. Seems he's not quite done yet.]

Before I leave you, there is one small inquiry I'd like to make as well. I'm in need of someone capable of repairing a sword. I'm happy to pay for this service and I can guarantee a modest amount of additional business in return.
