[Jane appears to be sitting in the middle of the woods. It's raining, though not terribly hard, and she doesn't appear too bothered by it as she shelters under a tree with an irritated-looking bird fluffed up on her shoulder.]

I've been thinking about something... and indulge me, because sitting out here waiting for the rain to stop is terribly dull.

[She doesn't use the network too often and rarely for a casual query, but she is bored.]

There are a good many people here from other worlds, yet I often notice that most seem to be... hmm, heroes of some kind, I suppose? Or people who were already powerful in magical ways, or people of high political influence. Some are gods, even. [A little shrug follows this, and she hums thoughtfully.]

So I wondered, then, just how many are not. How many were pulled into this from perfectly ordinary lives where nothing magical or horribly dangerous really happened to them, and they were certainly never anticipating having to halt some multiverse-ending calamity.

[A fat raindrop hits the top of her head and she flinches, looking up and then shuffling further back against the tree.] I'm sure I'm not the only one who often wonders which capricious higher power thought they had the skill set for this.

[Aurora is humming softly, weaving sprigs of evergreen together, a little bird handing her berries or plants, several squirrels, rabbits, and chipmunks holding twigs or pinecones but she's honestly surrounded by all sorts of animals in her home. A giant fire is going in her fireplace, the whole room gives off a feeling of warmth.]

Al...most.... done. [She held out her hand for a pinecone, the chipmunk handing it to her.] Aaand there.

[She held up the wreath.]

It may not be a traditional Evergreen Yule Wreath, but it is rather lovely.

The dried oranges were an excellent idea. [She said as she turned to look at the giant Eurasian Eagle-owl perched on the back of her chair.] Thank you for the suggestion, Vivek.

If anyone else would like, I have plenty enough to make more wreaths, especially as the solstice is almost here! Thought they may be much more traditional than this. Or, if you would like to imbue it with your own home's warmth and protection, I can show you how to make one.

so how useless is king arthur? rate him from one to ten.

if he's actually answered a question for you with anything other than "i'm only king of camelot" then consider yourself lucky


[Hikaru is mostly bored and so he's deciding to troll the network. Although he really doesn't think of King Arthur as a particularly helpful guy which is a bit unfair but hey, Hikaru's a hard person to impress.]

[The video cuts on to Gokudera looking well-rested, sitting in his living room with his pet leopard draped over his lap.]

To anyone I haven’t reached out to yet, the collar is off. I’m alive.

Ochako, you’re amazing. To everyone involved and every person who has supported me, Thank you.

[He bows, and the leopard in his lap growls in complaint.]

I can start going to school! Uh… and I guess I can start my new job, since one of my bosses is no longer in this world.

If anyone wants to celebrate… How do you celebrate something like this? I wouldn’t be opposed.

Good day, Otherworlders. Merlin here and I decided to do an AMA because I'm currently stuck indoors, sick with this magical flu. You don't want me to go around sneezing on people, so I have to stay at home.

[He looks amused.]

... though you should have seen the donkey ears I accidentally and temporarily grew on Arthur!

[But anyway, onto the actual business, right?]

So, all questions are fair game, but I reserve the right to not answer if I feel like it. Ask me what has been burning in your mind.


Oh and happy anniversary to those who arrived around a year ago!


[ OOC NOTE: Merlin will reply to new top-level comments posted before the November 15th in order to maintain feasibility for mod replies. Threads posted 11 / 16 or later will not be responded to. Any threads started before that time may be continued after that, but may be cut short due to this being an AMA-style post. Unlike Arthur last month, Merlin is more likely to answer to troll-y posts with trolls of his own, but those may be even more short-lived. ]

Hi everyone! It's Taichi Nanao again!

I've been doing some reading and it tracks with what I know from my world: love is the most powerful kind of magic!

I guess real love is how you break a lot of so-called "love" spells! (It looks like most of those are like, attraction and obsession and something called bimbofication?? What's a bimbofi?)

What else do you think love can conquer? What happens if you haven't found real love yet and you get enchanted?

(Also, how soon is too soon to tell someone you love them? There's definitely someone I want to tell and I want to shout it from the mountain tops!)

Has anyone been noticing weird stuff at the school lately?

Cause, I have.

I was studying kinda late last night in the library, and a pile of books just fell over. And earlier when I was walking in the halls, I heard this kind of moaning, wailing sound.

I got up to check something and when I came back all my stuff had been messed with.

I dunno if it's someone's idea of a joke or something else, but it might be worth looking into.

Maybe.

Just thought people should know if they want to look into it.

[The video opens up to Hikaru and Kaoru, sitting close and waving.]

Hello~ It’s Hikaru and Kaoru Hitachiin~! [Said in unison before Hikaru starts.]

On the 9th, it’ll be an important day! What day is that? [They speak in unison again:] Our birthday! We’ll be turning 17!

[Hikaru speaks again:] But we’ve been away from our home for almost a year now and it is our first birthday away from our home and family.

[And then Kaoru:] And recently, our friends from home left as well so it’s really just us—[He looks to Hikaru, frowning, and Hikaru is quick to give him a look that obviously means ‘be strong’.

They are definitely playing this up. You gotta get those sympathy points.]


But! We should still try to celebrate these types of milestones, right? Right! So we’re throwing a party! If we can’t have home then we should try to make this ‘home’ as much as possible!

So on Wednesday, June 9th, we will be throwing a party and you’re all invited! There will be food, games, and music! Also, as winners of the magic carpet..[They throw their arms out.] We’ll be offering a magic carpet ride~! Doesn’t that sound exciting?

Dress code is ‘come as you are’ and gifts are totally optional! Think of it as a celebration for making it this far, for all of us!

[Honestly, it’s actually a networking event in disguise but who can argue free food and magic carpet rides?]

We want to say a huge thanks to our sponsor, Corpa! A powerhouse and fusion of all the styles this world has to offer! With their wide range of inspirations and stores, you’re surely able to find something you love and is right for you! And as a wonderful gift to you all, they are offering a 15% off on one outfit of your choice at any of the stores! Just tell them Hitachiin sent you!

Bye bye~!

[ooc: a log will go up on the 9th! Also Hikaru and Kaoru will definitely judge whatever you’re wearing so be warned.]

[The device clicks on to show Gokudera sitting at a window and touching the leaves of a grape plant, looking calm and thoughtful before he speaks up.]

I’ve been asleep for a few weeks. While I was asleep, I went back home, and then to two different worlds, and now I’m back. I’ve been away from this place for two... no maybe three years. Time is acting strange, or maybe my familiar, Larry thought that I’d benefit more here with more experience under my belt.

[He glares gently at a semi-transparent reptile sleeping on the window sill.]

Has anyone else left this world for-

[Gokudera winces and puts a hand to the half choke collar around his neck. The skin beneath it is obviously damaged and irritated.] -such a long span of time, only to come back here and find that it was like... you never left at all? I’ve been to Anchor and Amoi, if anyone else has... let me know.

Also, in one of those worlds, I had this put on me. [He keeps his hand on the collar.]

I think it’s malfunctioning. The only person who can deactivate and remove it safely is... not here yet. So in the meantime, I need it repaired or at least looked at by someone with advanced technological experience.

[Gokudera moves to turn off the feed, and his left hand is lightly scarred, but more important in the visual is the engagement ring on his ring finger.]
