[this post took him a lot longer than it should have and he still only makes it text (for good reason, really). he's not trying to (literally) show his face to everyone just yet, so he'll make sure to keep himself on the down-low for now, even if it means asking the network for help on some things.

here's hoping his username isn't an obvious one, although he imagines it isn't because he hasn't said his name and he doesn't plan to anytime soon.]

I'm only just learning about our new powers, which I have questions about, but my main question is: how many animal forms can we have? I've changed three times already and it's all been different.

Some of them have only been half-transformations, too. Is that normal?

Any help would be appreciated.

New potions at Riki's available! First of all, this is an unpaid advertisement: you should absolutely get the potion that lets you turn into a dragon - speaking from experience, I cannot recommend this enough. Getting to be a dragon is very fun and hot and everyone should try it at least once. Second of all, the Potion of Newly Imagined Powers. One per customer, and it doesn't work if you've already used the potion that gets you old powers from a different world back, but you get to pick a power you decide on. (Within limits, I already asked about using it to travel between worlds, sorry guys.) That's incredible, but also, how do you ever decide on just one power? Like there's a million things I'd love to be able to do, how am I supposed to pick? What would you choose, if you were going to buy one?

public service announcement | video/un: aurora | CW/TW: skeletons, slight body horror

[Loki (who's face is only partially shown) looks exhausted and sad on the screen. There's none of his usual cheer.]

Be careful, everyone. I just discovered a curse that gets inflicted through the Blooperus Creatures that hang out near the Fadeout Shop in the Underground mall - namely in the vending machines.

[He sighs, raisin his eyes towards the camera.]

The curse? It will...

{A snow leopard greets the feed! Hello there, everyone~ A fluffy tail flicks at the screen and then a big fuzzy paw follows. Look at the beans. Bow to them.}

Raowr. {It's almost hello? ~~No, it isn't.~~ Xie Lian shakes his head, his ears wiggling.} I mean hello.

{The impulse to roll is too insistent. He ends up sprawled on the grass, rubbing his cheek against it. His instincts in this form are so demanding!}

Being like this, I feel like playing in the snow.

{Rising, he picks up his communicator in his mouth and re-enters his cottage. After setting his burden on the table, he licks up a bowl of...tea. Yes, your eyes aren't deceiving you.}

I'm seeing new arrivals on the network. Welcome. {With a smile, he shifts back into a man, resting his cheek against his hand.} I'm Xie Lian. If you have any difficulties with your powers, please let me know. I think I can help.

- Awright, heeere we go...

[Hang on, adjusting the camera - but once it's clear he's got it steady, Chipp takes a couple steps back so he's easier to see (and no longer out of focus).
Behind him is the beat-up old shed he lives in, of course... and a pile of junk. Literal junk, complete with chunks of old plastic, some heaps of scrap metal, and an empty bottle or two rolling out of it.]

Bonjour, folks! I don't usually post here much, 'specially not with my face, but I'm here 'cause I need help from y'all.
Got me a new business permit, so I gotta project I wanna start workin' on, start buildin' up my ol' business again... so, long story short:
I need ya trash.

Keep the food waste 'n shit - I just want the recyclable stuff. Metal, glass, plastic, wood, paper, in that order, but metal's top priority. Cans especially. I'll take it all off your hands, no questions asked.
I'd appreciate it if you wash it off first, 'course, but I won't fuss if ya don't. I get it.

I'll pay for any broken electronics, too! Not a whole lot, I ain't rich, but it'll at least be enough to get yourself a bite to eat or somethin'.

I ain't got a buildin' picked out for all this just yet... I liked the old one, but it ain't big enough for my plans. So address is just here in Amberfall for now - I'll tack that on at the end o' the post, here.
And, eh... sorry 'bout the lawn, Shigeru; I'll make sure to keep all the junk tidy 'til I can get it moved! Heheh.

[As promised, the address where Chipp needs that junk donated is listed in text beneath the video itself; he's even got a bin set up outside of the building's gates for people to dump and run!
So, so sorry, Shigeru.]

[Hey all, it's the loud cat girl. Only this time she's not in her fancy ass pink dress, with black body suit underneath. She's just in a t-shirt that has a graffiti art of what is possibly a cat on a skateboard which shows off one important thing about her.

The fact her joints resemble those of a ball jointed doll then anything organic.]

Hello again! I have a question to see if anyone else has this problem, and uh... I don't want to go back into the Underground Mall again for this but.

... Is there anyone around here who can make clothing for a doll? With a tail, too. This shirt and the hoodie I picked up are good except the sleeves of the hoodie get caught in my joints sometimes but I need more than that? Also my dress should probably get repaired too.

I don't have tons of money right now, but I could pay you back with favors or just um, instalments?

Greetings, fair people of Ellipsa.

-- no does that sound stupid? Maybe I should just say 'Greetings, everyone'. That sounds better.

Ahem.

Greetings, everyone.

I wish to formally ask for lessons in magic tricks. It's something my family has despised for a long time, so I still have my reservations at a restaurant - but seeing as I am here now, I should at least try and live with it.

My seasons is spring water, apparently. I have visited the Spring Guild, but everything is very overwhelming.

Bollocks. Where did those extra words come from. I did not say them out loud. Delete 'tricks'. Delete 'at a restaurant'. Delete 'water'.

Ugh, technology.

Either way, I am in your care.

[This time's video comes from the Mecha Hangar in the Research Center. Asami is looking a bit nervous.]

We have a bit of a situation here.

[She moves the camera to show a huge dragon with black and red colored scales, and red-black wings inside the mecha hangar. A very H U G E one that doesn't look like he will fit from the hangar launch pads. Nor does he look like he's even trying.]

We're pretty sure it's not one of the native ones. They rarely come to the city if they're this size, so...

[Well, her only option really is.]

Has anyone lost a dragon?

[It's really hard to work when there's a big dragon in the middle of your workspace.]

[OOC: This is Daenerys' (

thequeenofdragons) dragon that just returned from a canon update (animal companions/familiars can canon update while their owner doesn't if players want them to do that) and since he didn't fit inside the Research Center lobby, Mecha Hangar was the only option.

No harm shall be done to the dragon.]

That's-- oh. Ah. Greetings.

[The tell-tale sign of someone unused to this kind of technology. He fumbles it a bit as he comes into view.]

I'm... [Get it together.] My name is-- is Raphael, I arrived in these lands a few days ago.

[He's never been so up-front about who he is around mortals before. He looks very nervous, but also more than a little thrilled. It's a very confusing mix of emotions to process through.]

Though we don't hail from the same world, I am more than proud to claim Lucifer Morningstar as my eldest brother. I hear he does good work here.

[A small smile.]

I hope to as well. [Another brief pause.] I would like to hear about how you live your lives, what you love and hate, what inspires you... I have been isolated for a long time, and such things have always been of interest to me. And-- if you would tell me of the places here that you find to be most beautiful. I would love to see them for myself.

[So. Here's that green-haired, freckled teen that his loud bff was going on about. Izuku sits cross-legged on the bed in his bedroom of his newly provided apartment that he has yet to decorate or anything to personalize the space. He looks a little sheepish as he checks if it seems to be working. He's used to something similar, having this sort of technology back home, at least.]

Um. Hi? I'm Midoriya. That is, uh, Midoriya Izuku. I guess a lot of you already kind of know of me from Kacchan earlier...

[He's sorry. Really. It isn't like he asked Bakugo to go off like that.]

I was just trying to get my bearings, I guess. I heard there's school, or at least classes, here. To learn about our new abilities? I think I'd like that. I want to learn to use mine. To at least learn how to control it. If not to help out with it, and my Quirk. Plus, I want to look into prosthetics to help Kacchan. Maybe learn more about music....? I'm sure there's probably a library or something I can check! And I want to be useful and help out, maybe figure out a part-time job?

[......Yeah. That talk that he had with Bakugo about not overdoing it. Izuku might already be wanting to do more than he might realistically be able to manage. Because he's a Nerd and actually wants to Learn about this place and the abilities, and wants to help out as much as he can. This kid is just not used to the idea of not keeping busy, not being useful. Still in that habit of feeling like he has to prove himself.]

Rebuilding journal search again

We're having to rebuild the search server again (previously, previously). It will take a few days to reindex all the content.

Meanwhile search services should be running, but probably returning no results or incomplete results for most queries.

How many other kids are here, nanoka? I wanna know, nanoda! Sound off if you're a kid, nanoda!

[She progressively gets her face closer to the camera as she talks excitedly. She seems to realize that she's getting too close because she does back off to a normal distance after a moment.]

I have questions, nanoda!

Where do you all hang out, nanoka?

Can we meet sometime, nanoka? I want to spend time with other kids, nanoda!

Also, also! What jobs do you do, nanoka? Trying to find a job at a maid cafe hasn't been working because of my age, nanoda. I'll probably go back to my street performances, but I'm curious about everyone else, nanoda.

[She knows that she gets a stipend, but she's still a bit worried. She also refuses to ask about school in this world.]

[it's taken sizhui some time to figure out how to do a video post, but now that he (sort of) has the hang of it, it's easy enough for him to open the feed and get it positioned right so everyone can see him.]

Is it on...? Ah, yes, I think it is!

Hello there, everyone! My name is Lan Sizhui and I just arrived here not too long ago.

[he raises both hands and waves them in greeting, still hoping everyone can see alright, even though the screen is slightly off-kilter.] I find myself with not much to do right now, so I come with a question and a suggestion!

First off: what sorts of jobs are there around here? I know they surely won't pay for everything the whole time, so I'd like to get started on something as soon as possible.

Second of all: I have learned that there isn't a community garden to tend to. Having these new powers, I feel like it will be a little easier to take care of things, so I'd like to find some land and start a little garden for everyone to enjoy. [he grins outright, clasping both hands together now and holding them close to the left side of his face, clearly excited with the new idea.] It would be open to any and everyone and people could come and take as they please, I think.

Any thoughts on this? I will happily accept any other suggestions, too. [sizhui picks up the smartphone, holding it a little closer.] Thank you all for your help, I truly appreciate it!

[the feed ends shortly afterward, following the tiniest bit of fumbling on his end to get the phone to turn off.]
