redwhiteandhero

[Said audio transmission occurs in the early evening, before the sun has really started to go down. A handwritten notice has also been posted on the mission board of the lancer's guild.]

Yo, I whipped up some fireworks for tonight, they're pretty sweet. I'm gonna set 'em off from the tower at the Scarlett Dragons. Y'all should come watch.

rebonding

Hey... Does anybody know if anyone's gotten to the top of the castle, yet?

[Korra's usually confident voice is uneasy. She hasn't seen Mako since before that whole deal with the monsters showing up in the city, and that's not like him at all. Maybe that'd been why he'd been saving so much money up, to pay off some higher-ranks to take him to the top. But even if that is the case, why wouldn't he tell her about it? Take her, and Asami for that matter, with him?]

Or if there's anyone else they know who's just... gone?

[She can't help but to think that something worse has happened. That he'd gotten himself mixed up with the wrong people, like he's prone to doing.]

peachbaths

Greetings.

[ A young woman appears in the smoke with her head high, but her mouth covered by her sleeve. She had to keep up appearances, no matter where she was—Sinbad and Judar were both watching her, after all.

that and she wants to look cool ok ]

I am Kougyoku Ren. I am from the Kou Empire, though I suppose such things do not matter now.

I am here because I would like to hear about the apparitions everyone saw last week. Surely there must be something about them that holds a tiny piece of the answer towards bringing us back home. ... Is anyone still interested in going back to their own world?

Speaking of which, I also, um. I would like to. I would. Would like to...

[ Oh no, her facade is falling apart. Uh.

"Get to know everyone else here!" "Make friends!" Just say it, Kougyoku! ]

Go to the castle and gain more experience in order to reach the top. Unfortunately, I can only venture so far alone. So... [ She looks away. ] I am looking for people with similar goals to come with me. That is all.

undyinglove

Sorry I wasn't around when everyone was partying like monsters while the fesaure were setting people on fire. Annivurtstag, I guess.

I'll cut to the chase. What we are experiencing are distortions in Goldvale's rumzeit.

[ Although she makes it sound like she has seen it before, that is hardly the case. This is new and frightening situation for her and the guildmasters, but she won't let anyone know that. She can't let anyone see her weaknesses. ]

A more in-depth explanation would be as boring as standerpignons, so I'll spare you the details. We have located the three focal points of the magic: Fontaine Felix in Ironwall, Swills and Scrolls in Platmoor, Cimetière du Orgonne in Tinwick, Le Ritter Courageux in Steelmount. We will need three teams to investigate and destroy the sources of magic at those points. Don't worry about finding them—if it glows weirdly, smash it. However, those who volunteer will run the risk of... who knows? Vikrafte instability, insanity, suddenly disappearing from the face of this material plane? If you hate this place so much, now is your chance to get out of it, haha.

[ Her deadpan spiel earns a more serious tone as the topic shifts. ]

Initiates from the Castle. Regardless of whether you want to leave or not, if you want answers about your purpose and arrival, it's best to see them for yourselves, don't you think?

... Right, well, this was Ossidia Bloodstone.

[ With that, the smoke from each character's gem dissipates. Ossidia will be replying to anyone who responds. If you want to handwave your character volunteering, you can jump into the mission log for this part of the event right here! (to be edited) ]

divineexseedfreyamagna

Action

[If you happen to be in the Ironwall district, specifically near Seven Titans, you might hear a bit of shouting. If you follow it to its source, you'll find a normal looking teenager dressed in the beginner's Punisher equipment in a spot without anyone else around. The teenager seems to be swinging his sword around, perhaps to get used to it. But at the same time, he's saying some odd things...]

...hahaha! Now, be enveloped by the flames of darkness!!

[After that outburst, the boy stops what he was doing and frantically looks around, as though embarrassed by his prior actions. What is this weirdo up to?]

Video

[As the video springs to life, a slightly startled, brown-haired, normal looking teengaer dressed unfittingly in Punisher armor appears. After taking a bit of a breath, he begins to speak.]

Uhh, is this thing working? Well, if it is... my name's Togashi Yuuta, and can anyone tell me what the hell's going on here?!

mostlymarried

Action - Ironwall

[there's a tall woman in starter Punisher armour with an out-of-place white bow in her hair wandering around with a hand on her sword. Could almost call it loitering. She's waiting at the gates she arrived at, watching people entering and leaving, and apparently quite content(...ish) to wait.]

Audio

[what's all this modern western nonsense about video messaging honestly-

The voice on the line is polite, reserved and calm.]

Has anyone seen my brother? He's very tall, loves sunflowers and laughter, has beautiful platinum hair and is probably wielding a piece of iron piping.

He may seem a little angry, but if you tell him his sister is waiting for him at Ironwall, he should calm down. He gets easily lost, so please point him in the correct direction.

Please, help us be reunited as soon as possible.

twintailsofdeath

Video

[The video starts out with a shot of the ground, nothing special. But then you begin to hear the sound of a girl singing what sounds like…background music? Yes, she is making her own dramatic music to start out this video. This continues for a short while before the view moves to show you a young girl’s face. She stops singing and smirks.]

Hello foolish mortals! Now that I have settled into my guild I have decided to grace you all with my deathly presence! I am the wielder of the Mighty Mjolnir Maul, Sanae Dekomori! Do not make the mistake of taking me lightly or else you will your deathly end!

[She pauses, thinking of what else she wanted to say]

One last thing! If anyone has seen my master, Rikka Takanashi, report to me at once! She must be around here somewhere, deathly so!

Action

[If you happen to be in the ironwall district at this time you may spot a short, blonde girl with ridiculously long pigtails recording a video of herself. Once she’s done, she sits down on a nearby bench and awaits replies to her video. You’re more than welcome to approach her in person though!]

redwhiteandhero

(A) - Video

[The feed opens on an extreme closeup of America's face, which is obviously what everyone wanted to see. You're welcome. After a moment the shot pulls out to a more comfortable distance. America seems to be mostly talking to himself at first.]

I feel like I'm steampunk James Bond or somethin'. Magic video ring. It's not even steampunk though is it, it's like, magicpunk. Knightpunk.

[And now he is definitely addressing the 'audience'. You can tell because his voice suddenly gets 300% louder.]

Hey, Lords n' Ladies! I didn't really think this thing was gonna work. You can all see me right?

Anywho, I'm America, I've joined up with the lancers' guild, and if you need a knight in shinin' armor to rescue your princesses or whatever you got, I'm your guy. You can hit me up on the magic ring thingy, I'll be there.

(B) - Action; Scarlett Dragons

[So, lances had never really been a core part of America's arsenal; not when there'd been guns with knives on 'em since he'd been big enough to hold one. This fact would become readily apparent to anyone with even a modicum of skill watching America practice out in the training field. Someone should probably help him out before he kills something.]

(C) - Action; around town

[America is wandering around like a mildly confused tourist at Disney World, grinning at all the fidgety details that made the little fake town so realistic. It was seriously like being in a video game, or France maybe.

Every now and then he'll take his cell phone out of his pocket to see if maybe now it'll turn on so he can livetweet some pictures of this place.]

motheringnation

[Action: Around the City]

[Well Ukraine is already lost. She's managed well so far, signed up for a guild at least. But it deciding to go look around probably wasn't the best idea when she has no idea where she is. So for people walking by, there's a woman holding a pitchfork either looking around at things or just looking lost. If you walk by her.]

Excuse me, do you know how to get to the Mages guild from here?

[Action: Mages Guild]

[She found her way back at least. Well she should probably go and meet her fellow guildmates.]

derpiest

Has anyone actually been into the Castle yet? Well, since we arrived there...

I'd like to give it a try sometime but I don't really want to go in there by myself. So if anyone's been in there before and can tell everyone what it's like, that'd be nice! And if someone wants to go with me... well, I was thinking we could get a group of people together to go exploring. Safety in numbers, right?

I also wanted to say thank you to people here, because I know a lot of us aren't from ... places like this, and people who are, who're used to things like sword-swinging and magic, have been really helpful. So, um, thank you all too...

[well, that was awkward.]

shizzy

Yo, Shizuo Heiwajima here.

[ With such a traditional and simple introduction, you'd be forgiven for thinking the man behind the broadcast was a down to earth guy. Mostly because that's exactly the impression he gives off for all of about five minutes. First impression, man. They can't be trusted. ]

I learned -- [ There's an audible frown at that single word. ] -- to take care of wounds the other day, but I don't have anyone to try it out on. If you've got a few cuts or scrapes or whatever then I'll take a look.

[ Eager to cut his teeth as a healer working with slight wounds from those who can't shrug off a bullet wound and the like, Shizuo has decided to make his public debut and seek out a handful of people to help him get the hang of this whole magic power thing. Actually having a special ability doesn't seem to trouble him in the slightest. It's far from the weirdest part of this whole adventure. Pain in the ass. Thing. ]

Meet me outside Seven Titans. That's the loud warrior guild with the weird smell and crappy beds. Bring some coin, or somethin' else to use as payment. Smokes'd be great, but I'll take whatever.

[ 'Whatever' here means sweet snacks or a nice cold drink of milk. Maybe something savoury. He's not too fussed over what he gets to eat today. In fact he's so not fussed that he doesn't bother to be specific. Although he does clear his throat and add: ]

Don't bother comin' if you don't know when to shut your mouth, 'cause it won't work out.

[ You know, primum non nocere an' all that noise. He doesn't think his little broadcast needs any more explanation, so he'll be waiting outside the guild like he promised. Of course he will reply to anyone who has questions, or whatever. ]

notyetlost

[A. Audio - Lithuania ]

Hey Liet!

Come meet me outside your guildy thingy! I have something I totally need to show you!

[Poland's smugness is almost tangible through the communicator.]

[B. Audio - Mass]

Okay like. I need to speak to someone in charge of ability giver-outing like. ASAP!

[Because someone didn't actually read the limitations of ~~Écarlach's Mount~~ the ghost pony when they picked it for their new ability.]

deistic

[ It's been some time since Madoka's been here. Her first day here was pretty crazy so she's mostly been getting used to the area, her guild, and... Well, basically being stuck in an entirely new world without her friends and family.

So when the feed turns on, she can't help but peer in the jewel a bit shyly. ]

H-Hello. My name is Madoka Kaname. Um, I just wanted to introduce myself to anyone I haven't talked to yet. [ Which is a lot. ] A-And I wanted to ask if anyone's seen anyone named Sayaka Miki around. Or Homura Akemi...

[ Even if Homura made her a bit nervous at times, she still considered her a friend. She wasn't sure if she should ask for Mami. How do you ask someone if they've seen a dead person? ]

If anyone from Mitakihara Town is here, I'd like to know... [ That's all, really. At first, she's ready to disconnect, but something else comes to mind. ]

I'd like to get stronger. I-I can't really do much but I want to help people. S-So if there's anything I can do...

[ Her voice trails off, and she quickly disconnects. ]

afrozendance

[A sigh is heard at the "other side"., and almost immediately the screen shows the face of a young woman with light blue hair who shyly nods at the gem "projecting" her image to whoever is using this... magical connection named the "network".]

Good day to all of you....

[She then swallows a little and speaks again, her voice very soft but still clear enough to be heard.] My name is Ninian, ladies and gentlemen... I'm most thankful for everyone's aid. Through these days, everyone has been very kind to me.... I hope this will not change, and that I will be able to help you in any way you need.

[After this, Ninian looks a little thoughtful for some seconds. Then she addresses the network again... She has already met up with Lady Lyndis, but there are other persons she must find..] I have a humble request to make. There is a young boy, his eyes and hair are like mine, and his name is Nils. And a young man with red hair, his name is Lord Eliwood... If you see any of them, please tell them that Ninian is in the Godlings Sect.

[She rarely speaks this much, and it likely shows. So Ninian nods a bit and decides to finish.] Good day... and thank you for your time.

rebonding

[Korra appears onscreen looking a bit perplexed at first; she's not quite sure if she's doing this right or not. After a moment, she realizes that she's on camera and jumps.]

Hey! My name's Korra. I've seen most of you guys around the guild and stuff, but we haven't really properly said "hi," so... here I am! I know there aren't a ton of us around, but I'd like to get to know you guys better.

I'd also really like it if some of us Summoners could maybe meet up so we can practice our magic and stuff?

kindhearted

Hi everyone! This is Jiro Kusano from the Godlings Sect! You can just call me Roji though.

[The cheerful young man is smiling warmly at his screen, and it looks like he's gazing down on it. That's because he is; his enchanted gem is on his tie that he brought from home.]

It's been a few weeks since I woke up here, and I figured I should introduce myself to you all. So...hi again. It's nice to meet you all. If you need any healing support on your missions, I'm more than willing to help!

[Time to move on to the next subject! Roji now has a curious expression going on.]

I also want to ask you all something. How many of you were magic users in your home world, and how are you adjusting to the magic of this world?

In my case, I practice Magic Law back home. It's sort of along the lines of exorcism, but we judge ghosts based on their crimes. I was able to perform my magic by using wards and other artifacts, so it's been challenging to channel magic in different ways here. I'm also new to healing and battling with actual weapons, so performing correctly been something of a struggle...

[Whoops, he didn't really intend to start rambling about his current shortcomings. Back to the point!]

Eheh... I guess I'm just wondering if anyone has any advice for coping with the differences in magic. Oh! And I'd also like to hear from those who just got magical abilities too! Are you enjoying your new powers?

[He senses that it's about time to wind this post down, so he offers one last smile before wrapping things up.]

Well, that's all from me. Thanks, and I'm looking forward to hearing from you all!

hasavision

[Video]

[There's a slightly awkward looking kid waving nervously. He's wearing what's obviously the Seven Titans gear - or at least, obviously to anyone who's seen enough of them around. He also has a slightly troubled look about him... whatever it is that's bugging him, clearly it's been weighing on his mind for a while.]

Uhh... Hi! My name is Wataru and... I'm part of the Seven Titans kind of.

Um, I was wondering... [Geeze this is weird, projecting a message to a bunch of people he's never even met, but...] Did anyone else here... well, did you come here while you were in the middle of something important? 'Cause, well... My friends and I had some stuff to do, and if I don't get back--

[...He'll probably become the Half.]

Well, a lot of really bad things will happen.

We still don't have a clue how to get back or anything? And nobody's found any hints yet?

[Because as neat as this world is, he really, really needs to find a way back to Vision before Mitsuru beats him to the tower.]

heartofsacae

[Her image is projected to the other side, still a little disoriented. Lyn is still not completely used to her new surroundings; for a moment she'd worried when she didn't see Florina by her side.]

Hello, everyone. I have a question I forgot to ask in all my rushing around, trying to understand everything. Is...there a way to contact the outside? I'm a bit worried about my friends back home, that last battle was tough, and... [She tries not to think about Nino's sorrow at losing the last of her family, or Ninian offering herself up for capture to protect Nils] Well, if there were a way to send letters, or for them to send letters here...

treerunner

[There was a lot say for a skeptic who although believing in magic, couldn't possibly fathom how a gem could communicate with people. She held it at a distance out of caution as she looked straight into it. There were a few men watching her in amusement as she turned her attention to one of them.]

What now. Do I speak? [The closest to her nodded his head and she returned her attention to the communicator, a frown painted across her lips. She wasn't sure what to say now that she was put on the spot. Why not be diplomatic.]

Kanien'kehá:ka. [Real mouthful.] If this name means anything to you, speak. I don't have any answers but I will find them. For now, we must regroup. My people, if you're here... Haytham-

[Before she could continue, the men seemed curious and began asking questions, she wasn't going to appease them but she didn't bother finishing her sentence. She merely reached for one of their drinks.]

Make yourself useful. I'll be here for a while.

pits

Yeah. Soooooo should not have picked a mission who's deal contained food. [ There's a furious roar!! ...But it's just Bart's stomach. ] Can't eat the pickles, don't eat the pickles, I won't eat the pickles.

[ "DON'T YOU EVER LEARN ANYTHING!!" He can practically hear the team's voices now... This is the second mission he's taken that has to do with food. In anguish, Bart holds up an armful of empty jars towards the screen. ]

How did this guy get so many pickle jars?! Hold up, better convo topic time. I have a legit important question, to be answered by you while I sit here, cleaning out pickle jars, so listen up!

[ He's gone through so many jars by now, and he's sort of lonely while he's sorting. Hence why there's an IMPULSE! on screen, the enchanted accessory he'd received placed on a crate next to him so he has both of his hands free. He'd normally have finished this task by now — hours of work would be reduced to maybe a minute for an Allen! But without his speed powers, he's doing things the non-metahuman way. ]

Can someone hook your hermano up with some Chicken Whizees, a-sap? [ From the start of this message until now, Bart's voice has slowly been speeding up. He waves the jar in his hand around as he tries to get the I AM HUNGRY message across. ] Freeze-dried or not, I'm totally desperate for some fast food right about now.
