Hey, so, uh--

[Rochelle adjusts the video and her position until the auto-focus finally kicks in. She smiles awkwardly at the camera. Instead of her usual locs, her hair is now made up of literal jellyfish tentacles, glowing soft pink and floating around her face as if permanently underwater.

She gestures to it, looking less than amused despite the smile.]

This's been a thing for... a few months now? Since whatever powers-that-be decided I wasn't Cordis anymore. It's kind of cool. But it's also like a mood ring, if mood rings could zap people around me when I'm in a mood.

And with work some days, that's... half the time, I guess.

[Her smile quirks wryly.]

Anyway. I usually have to wear it up just to get it out of the goddamn way. If I'm in a bad mood on top of it, too, I've got rubber gloves. Point being... does anyone else get weird hair problems with your moonblessing too? How do you deal with that?

[She reaches off camera for a hair tie, then starts pushing her hair back behind her - as much as she can as it floats around.]

I guess this is one of those long-lead-ups-to-a-random-poll type things, but... screw it. I'm bored and procrastinating.

Hello world!

The name's Phil Connors. I'm pretty new to this whole scene. The scientist guys explained everything to me, so I'm all caught up on that. Not loving the whole "no way home" thing, I've got to say, but at least I'm not the only one this time.

So, do any of you know any news stations around here? I'm a weatherman and I'd like to get a jump on things as soon as possible so I can start affording rent and more furniture than just a bed in a box. (I'm also taking recommendations for getting a good cup of coffee.)

I also want to get a feel for the neighborhood. If anyone’s got general tips, I’d be happy to listen.

[ The picture shown to the audience is not a half-naked half-Vulcan. Rather, it's of the very luxurious bath house, carefully showing a view with no other people and just the lovely scenery.

Clearly, this is being taken from inside one of the pools surrounded by bamboo walls with little waterfalls and probably-fake rocks and it's just generally nice. Even the steam coming up from the bath is clearly inviting. Well, according to the guy taking the video, anyway.

Oh, and there's a voice. ]

Either there is a nefarious plot afoot that has left me unwilling to be without this establishment for any reasonable amount of time or this particular bathhouse is gratifying in a way that none have been in all my experiences across my galaxy. This may be considered out of character for me- [ Haha, meta. ] -but I implore any who are interested to please visit the Four Penguins. It is quite a relaxing and soothing experience.

[ A pause... ]

However, if this is a type of ploy devised either by the moons' whims, the proprietors of the Four Penguins, or an unconsidered or unknown entity - the likelihood of which I deem is uncomfortably high - then I believe now is an appropriate time to ask for assistance.

Regardless, I would not be adverse to company. Spock, out.

[ Hope you got all that. Mr. Social isn't one to repeat himself. ]

deathceo

[The first thing that one will notice when they see the video is that this man in a suit is very, very blue. Literally. His skin is blue and his hair is the palest shade possible of blue as well. He looks quite serious as he gazes into the camera. Almost intimidating.]

Hello. I have a couple of inquiries to make of those of you here. The first is that I would like to know what job opportunities there are. Personally I would prefer to work at a moonblessed business to offer my support to the owner but I will not be pick. For those who are unaware, I am Hades, King of the Underworld.

And for those unaware of my reputation, I have managed the Underworld for thousands of years. I have excellent leadership qualities as well as the ability to work under pressure in times of great stress. Should you require a resume I will be happy to create one.

[He clears his throat and fixes his tie.]

This brings me to my second point. I will require a nanny who is skilled and understanding in the matter of dogs. I have several and, while most of them can be left at home, a couple require more attention. One even requires medication which I will provide to you. Naturally I will make sure you are well compensated and I will be conducting a very thorough interview.

Essentially if you do not meet my standards you won't be taking care of my dogs.

[With that, he pushes his hand through his hair and gives such a surprisingly charming smile.]

Thank you for your assistance.

This may be too broad of a question to ask, but I've been curious at any rate. I'd like to ask about what your interpretation of "magic" is, and the basic rules of it should it have any or even limitations.

From my understanding based on my own world, there are some limitations, but magic is capable of much in talented hands.

I suppose that also begs the question of what exactly chroma can be used for, as it is in its essence not quite the typical energy source, yet capable of mild magic on its own.

Has anyone found their Moonblessing transformation drastically change from what you’ve grown used to after several months? If so, how did your transformation change?

More importantly, has anyone’s transformation left them in need of aid getting around?

axemeaquestion

So... just to relieve some boredom:

Has anyone ever had some kind of fictional "creature" turn out to be real for you? Vampires, yetis, ghosts, whatever. Something that was purely fiction for you until some point or another, or that Mulder and Scully would crap themselves over. How accurate are they to the stories, if so?

I'll go first. I know I talked about this already, but... zombies? Used to be a pure movie-and-video-game thing for me. Dawn of the Dead, 28 Days Later sort of shit. Then they turned out to be real. Mine aren't undead, but they DO mutate, which is kind of bullshit.

Zombie bullshit.

[that's zoey's line but ok rochelle]

"Aliens" is cheating, for the record, but only because we're all going through that right now.

And, uh... if you are a vampire, yeti, ghost, or whatever? That's cool too.

[slowly, she's accepting that these are Real Things she has to consider too]

I'll be real, I was just barely used to the zombie thing by the time I got here. But I'm getting used to the other stuff... a little.

hopticulture

[the video shows a white rabbit wearing a sunhat with holes that her long ears slip easily into. she's got a bit of dirt smudged on her face, and in the background is a wooden exterior of a shed. there are some saplings behind her too.]

You know, if I was born a large carnivore instead of a small herbivore, I think I'd have started up some kind of brothel here...probably would have made good money in a place like this.

[that. sure is a way to get attention!]

Anyway, I'm only a small carnivore here some of the time, and there already seem to be plenty of those kinds of places. Ever since I arrived here and when the weather started getting nicer, I noticed that we were missing something...

[Haru swaps the camera to face forward, and pans a bit, showing off a relatively sparse, fenced-in lot with a good amount of raised plots of soil and flower beds already started. after a moment of showing off, she switches it back to herself.]

So! I've started up a community garden for...mostly myself honestly, but it's open for anyone else to sign up and use. I was setting up all day yesterday, and it's kind of been slow going. In highschool I managed the gardening club all on my own so I can do this by myself, but if anyone wants to stop by and help I'll treat you to some lunch! I know it's Sanguis right now, so plenty of you are stronger than usual... [she brings her free hand up to rub under her nose, smudging more dirt on her face as she mumbles:] you could probably put that to good use.

Anyway, feel free to stop by, even if it's just to sign up for your own plot of land. If nobody signs up then it's not too bad...it just means more space for me to grow my babies.

[attached to this post is the address, where the community garden is located on a once-vacant lot in Lunatia, Level 2. a sign up sheet is posted on the front door of the shed, and anyone is free to stop by and do their own thing at the gardens for the month of May.]

deerhearted

So, I've been curious about something...

Being able to run out of Chroma is an obvious thing that'll happen and all, but has anyone ever had too much Chroma in their body? [ Like... overhydration? ] Sure, there are benefits to making Chroma, but you know what they say; there can be too much of a good thing. Is it possible to just have too much Chroma?

I know the obvious answer to this is 'the moons have blessed us sooo much that such a thing can never happen!', [ Is he making fun of this whole thing? You bet. ] but I'm just curious how this whole thing works.

[ A beat. ]

Oh, and what are some fun things to do around here? With a group.

[ Because clearly what the Golden Deer here need more of is stupid activities they can do on the weekend. ]

justlethal

[She does perhaps make a sight, for a number of reasons. The first is that her skin is green, even if she is humanoid in appearance. The bone structure of her face is slightly different mind, although it's not overly noticeable, but enough to draw a second look anyway given those silver markings. Her face is framed by strands of hair that are ombred, starting one colour and fading to another. Her expression is... less than impressed, although with Gamora, that tends to be a typical state of being.

She has that hard expression, lips pursed and dark eyes roving. She appears to be resting against a wall, alert, wary, and ready. A long look from beneath her lashes as she regards the feed, before talking.]

Of all the idiotic things I have heard, this has got to be up there, and that is saying a lot.

[Not that she can deny having arrived here, or been guided, or even that annoying music that had started on the screens. Moon phases... Cataclysmic event... New adventurer. She was fine in the adventure department without adding anything else to it. And being stuck here was not going to help the galaxy. Thanos... She knows that he looms on the horizon, a bomb waiting to go off. Yet one that won't, if she has anything to say about it.]

I seek several individuals. They... might have gotten in to trouble already. One goes by the name of Star-Lord, or Quill. He has a strange fascination with music and other Terran- Earthian- Human things. Another is Drax. He is- [Where does she even begin with him.] Hard to miss. Mantis is a third. There may also be a furry creature by the name of Rocket who has an obsession with weapons or one who calls himself Groot. If you've knowledge of them, I would speak to you.

[A pause.]

Or to any who know of a means of departure. I've elsewhere to be.

naturallywavy

_{[ The feed clicks on to show Gintoki with whole new animal features that he hasn't gotten before and he's wearing lighter attire than his usual garments. Anyway, this new moonblessing has him feeling rather attention seeking and he steps back from the camera, half lidded, golden eyes focusing on the feed. ]}

Oi, I wanna show all you side characters something I've been working on.

_{[ And here it is, the dance. Anyone who is a big anime fan might recognize it. Of all the dances to choose from, with his opportunity to be an elegant and handsome kitsune, he ops for this. ]}

axemeaquestion

[The video is shot from someone's seated lap, legs in dark jeans crossed, Rochelle doing her best to hide that she's recording. Across cameramen and a news van, a Level 2 local news anchor is interviewing a young deer Prismal in a *BTSB shirt.

The Prismal is very excitedly going off into why Lecter is their favorite fox boy. He's hot, he's talented, he LOVES cats, and they saw him in the gym the other day and oh my god look at this selfie they got??

They take out their phone and start waving their selfie in front of the camera, jumping up at down. After a point, they just start rambling. Rochelle tilts her phone up to her face. She grins behind a hologram script, expression equal parts exasperated and fondly amused.

She switches to text not long after.]

back where i'm from we had a couple big boy bands like this with a LOT of fangirls like these. i was sixteen when they got really big. i was also pretty dumb. somehow thought i was better than everyone else who liked them because i liked 1980s new wave and synth pop more. like i said, i was sixteen.

so anyone seen these BTSB guys around? Backstay Sailor Boys or something? because wow. i thought the Midnight Riders was a bad name for a band.

then again, the latter literally saved my life after the infection hit. had to blast crappy old guy rock music and fireworks and fight off zombies on a fairground stage to get a helicopter's attention. so what do i know?

anyway. people are saying i should use this network thing to talk about my thoughts more so uhhhhhh. work's interesting lately? management's pushing a lot more fluff and celebrity stories. this station's already small and kind of directionless and now

well

here's hoping i don't end up in tabloid journalism i guess.

uncleasshole

[The camera clicks on rather violently with a hushed "Shit!" as it nearly falls to the ground. The camera stabilizes after a few seconds as Nick props it up on a counter, brows furrowed in concentration until the angle hits just right. He's in his kitchen, and sitting on the counter is a collection of bowls and frying pans.]

Okay. Got to talking to someone about recipes from home. Figure I might as well do this, considering the assholes that live here already consider me an affront to God or whatever. I'm gonna show you guys how to make the worst thing to ever come out of New York state: a garbage plate. You ever wonder what would happen if you put all your barbecue cookout leftovers on the same plate and smothered it in chili meat sauce, ketchup, and mustard? Cause that's what it is. Great if you're drunk.

[You might think this is a joke, but the expression on Nick's face is dead serious. Watch in horror as he loads up a plate with an abomination - macaroni salad, fried potatoes, and a cheeseburger patty layered underneath what looks like chili and onions. He talks as he works - to his credit, everything he's using looks homemade.]

None of that fancy shit on top, either, 'cause if you're going to eat a garbage plate, there's no point trying to pretend you have dignity. If you don't use regular, shitty yellow mustard, you missed the point. You can throw some hot sauce on there too if you want - Frank's RedHot is the best, but they don't have that here, so just... make do. Trick to the chili is to grind it up and add cinnamon.

[He holds up the finished product.]

Only rules to eating a garbage plate are to make it as nasty as possible and don't eat the whole thing in one go, 'cause it'll literally kill you. Cut it up, mix it together, grab some bread to soak up the grease, and you're all set.

[Someone stop this menace - no, too late. He takes a bite, savoring it for just a moment before muttering "Hell yeah" under his breath. He has the audacity to look pleased with himself.]

God, I haven't had one of these in years. Oh - name's Nick, by the way. You're welcome. Eat responsibly. I don't take criticism.

uncredentialed

I've never been on camera before.

[ The woman with the 50's bob and red lipstick smiles a little nervously, but it's friendly nonetheless. ]

Uh, hi. I'm Virginia Johnson. Another new arrival.

[ She gives a small wave. ]

So, this place is pretty weird to a girl from Missouri, but possibly the thing that surprised me the most is, well... the permissiveness. The people in this world seem to talk about sex openly, with no shame. Where I come from, most people are a lot more squeamish about it - even Puritanical. My partner and I were trying to change that, but it wasn't going too well.

I suppose my question is, are there others who've had similar experiences on arriving here? Or are these other worlds you come from more like this one, in that regard?

[ She hesitates a moment, glancing to one side. ]

Also, does anyone have a 16 mm film projector?

herbmixing

[ The camera turns on to reveal a young face, currently in transit. It's Rebecca, walking down one of the broad, bright streets of upper Lunatia. She's a little unused to mobile videos, so occasionally she bobs out of frame. You can see her short hair, the pink choker she perpetually keeps wrapped around her neck, and the top of a green baseball tee. It is the nineties, after all.

More of relevance is probably the flushed cheek, the slightly heavier breathing. Iris is in full effect, and it's not giving her a second of mercy. She gathers herself before starting, eyes flicking over the display to make sure everything is set up and working correctly. ]

...you guys really weren't kidding about the effects of these moons. The physical and physiological changes already didn't make any sense, but this is just-- [ She puffs out a breath, shaking her head. ] Maybe there really is some merit to the lunar effect. We have all sorts of old wives' tales back home about how the full moon makes people go crazy, and we've only got one of them.

[ She pauses, glancing up to cross a street. Once across, she flashes an embarrassed smile at the camera. ]

Anyway. That's not what I wanted to talk about. Now that I'm settled in and things seem...peaceful... [ Her expression creases briefly, a nonverbal "for now". ] I was wondering, how do you all fill up your day?

I'll start! I'm Rebecca. [ She gives the camera a little wave. ] I haven't settled on a job yet, so mostly I'm going to the gym or at the cafe if I'm not in my apartment. I love sweet drinks, so it's nice to just relax in the sunshine with a book. I like playing basketball, and piano too, but those sort of fell by the wayside. All that keeps me busy, but when the moon's full, I'm still kinda lacking strategies to...distract myself.

[ It's about the most polite way she can conjure of saying, "Jesus Christ, nobody told me the moon effects were this bad, I'm going out of my mind here." ]

I figure we should all be trying to help each other out, even if it's just with sharing coping mechanisms. I'm always here to help if you need a medic, or even just a sympathetic ear. So...let me know!

( weiss; )

doreimi

Hey, maybe this is going to sound like kind of a silly question, but — does anybody have any advice for staying focused while studying for exams? I really don't remember it being this hard! I mean...sure, it's been a really long time since I've had to study like this, but it shouldn't be that tough to pick up again, right?

Though I guess I ought to know better than to try to study during Cordis, but...

Well, my plans to study during Sanguis kind of got...interrupted! So now here I am, going over everything, and I keep getting sidetracked by one thing or another. Half the time I want to get up and eat, and then other times I want to lie down and take a nap...ugh!

But I really need to stop letting so much time go to waste. I made a promise to myself that I was going to do this! And I've worked this hard already for months and months, I can't trip at the finish line now!

Jeez, maybe I ought to borrow some catnip from the cafe and sprinkle it on my books, I bet I'd pay attention to them then.

(This is actually my first time being a cat for Cordis — I guess you could say it's pretty im-purr-essive that it hasn't happened before now! Especially what with owning a cat cafe and all. I just wish it weren't so distracting!)

kingfuckboy

[ A video comes on, and in the frame is - what may seem to be a familiar face. Now, he looks a bit different from the last time he appeared. Instead of the rabbit and deer features, he now has pointed black ears and a fluffy tail that barely appears in frame. He is fully dressed this time, but he comes bearing what he thinks to be an important question. ]

So...I need some advice. I'm Sanguis and now I need a new bed and mattress.

[ A long huff. ]

Because mine are totally done for. Like destroyed. Casser sa pipe. I had no idea something like that would happen even though I knew I was stronger.

So, I'm taking recommendations. I'll tell them you sent me, maybe they'll give you a discount or something.

Until then, I'm sleeping on my couch. So the sooner the better, I guess.

starmark

[It's pretty rare for Jotaro to resort to using audio for a network post, all things considered; he tends to be a lot more comfortable with text for a variety of reasons, and he's usually not particularly talkative just in general, barring the handful of people he's comfortable around.

But today, when the feed snaps on, there's soft jazz music playing in the background, turned down enough to be audible but without being overpowering when eventually, much closer to the microphone, Jotaro's voice comes in.]

You know what's kind of weird? My dad's music is in these Birdboxes.

[He pauses a minute, his silence drawn and sort of thoughtful.]

It was weird at home, too. That I could hear him on the radio, or put in a cassette tape and...there he was. There was Dad. Weird to think that he'd write songs about my mom, and people who'd never even met my mom would listen to them. Or that people would listen to some other song he wrote and not know that he wrote the bridge the way he did just to piss off a manager he didn't like. For other people, they were just songs. Not Dad's songs.

[He goes quiet again, and this time in the space between words, there's the sound of acoustic guitar strings absently being picked along with the song.]

I guess I've just been thinking lately about the things that make you who you are. The people you're related to. The shit that's happened to you. [A pause.] But for my dad, it's his music. I don't think he'd be my dad if he didn't have his music. I sure as hell can't imagine him without it. So...

[His playing stills, and he whistles to his Birdbox to make it cease playing and fall silent, still mulling over his own thoughts.]

Dunno. That sort of thing...it seems like it ought to be more about what you decide for yourself. Not something somebody else gets to decide for you.

[He lets out an audible breath, like he'd been holding it while making the herculean effort of trying to work through his thoughts, and the guitar strings twang again as fabric rustles near the microphone in the seconds before the audio ends.]

axemeaquestion

Hey, so... whoa.

[A bruised and bandaged woman nearly drops her device.]

Shit, sorry. Still getting used to this thing.

[For anyone who met Rochelle before but missed her at the Archives event, she's finally out of her bloodstained clothes. The shirt she's wearing today was crisp white with CRYSTAL BEACH cut out of an iridescent square print in bold letters.

The video straightens out, and Ro attempts to recover gracefully as she sits on the floor and smiles. Her back is against a coffee table littered with history books and moonblessed-aimed welcome pamphlets.]

Name's Rochelle. You can call me Ro. Sorry if I'm still kind of a mess. Better than before, trust me. I worked in TV news before things kinda went to hell back in my... world? World. Shit, that's still weird to say.

I'm kind of coming out of what you'd call a... zombie apocalypse. [AWKWARD GRIN GOES HERE??] And now I'm on a whole other goddamn planet. Still... processing that part. Compared to my life before, though, this is actually... kind of normal. I mean, not REALLY, but seriously. Not looking over your shoulder every damn second of your life makes ANYTHING seem normal. Even getting turned into a mermaid by a hunk of screaming rock.

[That's a weird thing to call Osse, Ro, but okay.]

So I guess my point is... I wanna ask. What does a fresh-out-of-the-apocalypse girl do to adjust to semi-normal life around here? I'm looking into TV network sort of work around here, actually, but otherwise...? I'll give shit a shot.

( also: a long-winded, more serious question )
