Nov. 28th, 2018 08:34 pmparticlebarrier[The video feed flickers on, and everyone is treated to a close up of one Red paladin, aiming a finger gun at the camera.]
To all you beautiful faces out there, hello~
[This is accompanied by a wink and somehow a sparkle. Somebody stop him.]
I know, I know. You’re probably wondering who this bad boy is. The name’s Lance, and this — [He moves the camera to pan over the living room of what appears to be a treehouse. Said living room’s been spruced up with some balloons, a fog machine, and what looks like a lion pinata.] — is the Treehouse of Lions.
Anyway! We, the paladins of Voltron, are inviting you to come on over and party with us! There’ll be food and dancing and we even have our very own princess for you to come and see. Oh, here she is right now!
[Camera’s shifting over to focus on a rather perplexed looking Allura before coming back to focus on Lance’s face. He recites an address in Wyver.]
Come alone or bring a friend, it’s all good! Let’s have some fun..
[The log for this party/mingle can be found over here!!]

Sep. 20th, 2018 07:26 pmcolorature[The scene that's broadcast by Diva's device is...definitely not a pleasant one. The bedroom behind her seems to be in total disarray, with books and other objects tossed about, the mirror of her vanity visibly broken, even from this angle. As for Diva herself she's pink in the face, eyes red from having just stopped crying not too long ago. Her fangs peek over her lip as she pouts, long black hair cascading down over the front of her white dress. It looks like she's just thrown quite the tantrum and really, she has. There's a loud sniff that's taken, as she moves to wipe her eyes again with the back of a hand. What could possibly have her so upset? Well...]
It isn't fair. [Ah.] Other girls get to have babies or get married and I can't have these things. I can't even go on a date!
[While people are out hunting ghouls or putting spirits to rest, it seems Diva's preoccupied with her own restless spirit pertaining to matters of the heart.]
All I wanted was to go on a date someday and now my lover is gone. It seems like everyone who says they care about me disappears back onto that station, no matter what I do or try to do to keep them by my side...I hate it!
[Her feet may be out of view, but the sudden sound of a stomp of a foot gives away that she isn't exactly done with feeling miserable just yet.]
It's bad enough that I'll outlive everyone on this stupid planet...but is it really so much to ask for? Just one date?

Feb. 19th, 2018 11:46 ampunshots[ It's mid-morning when this video goes live, the camera auto-focusing on Prompto's face as he kneels "steathily" in what appears to be a hallway, his back pressed up against the wall even as he grins stupidly at the screen. Prompto isn't one to easily be found in a bad mood, but he appears to be exceptionally giddy today. The reason why? Well...
In a hushed, excited whisper: ]
Heeeeeeeey. Hey! Heyyyyy! Goodest of good mornings to ya! I've got, like, a crazy big announcement to make! Wait for iiiiiiiit, just - okay, okay -
[ He starts creeping down the hall in his crouched position, as if he's approaching wildlife that should be considered dangerous. And this is certainly dangerous. Prompto swivels the camera's view around to face forward as he tiptoes to just outside the doorway to Alisaie's study, where she's just visible through the ajar door, sitting at her desk, reading out of a book and drinking from a steaming mug. She seems to be unaware of his presence...for now. ]
See her? I know, right? An actual elven goddess, as clever as she is brave and loyal, a hero to the people and a scholar - also, a total hottie. Okay, but get this - I - me, Prompto Argentum - asked her to marry me - hah - and she totally said yes!
[ The last word is spoken with such a feverish high pitch that only dogs could probably hear it. He moves around the doorway just a biiit more so he can attempt to focus in on the engagement ring Alisaie is wearing, which really just makes the picture as fuzzy as hell because he's still in the hallway, but whatever, it's there on her hand and it looks great in person!! ]
Check it - booya! Look at that rock! Oh man, you guys, it was sooooo romantic, there were rose petals and fireworks and birds were singing - probably -
[ Prompto turns the camera back on himself as he just sort of...slouches back against the wall and laughs nonsensically with a hand against his face, which might seem a tad concerning for anyone who doesn't know him, but this is just his way. ]
Oh, man - I still can't believe it! I don't even know the first thing about planning a wedding... [ Even if his best friend was supposed to get married back home, it's not like Noct was at all involved with the planning of it, so Prompto has no example to follow there! He also stops remembering to whisper riiight about now. ] Like - we need a DJ, right? Pretty sure we need a DJ. Anyone out there a sick DJ? Am I gonna have to take my own photos? Plus, we're gonna need the best cake imaginable 'cause Miss Sweet Tooth in there -
[ Of course, this is when the door to the study swings open wide, with Alisaie appearing in it as grave as a ghost with a look that could kill, and Prompto's phone goes clattering to the floor, providing a unique perspective on what will likely be his brutal murder. ]
Oh, crrrr - hi, sweetheart! I was just...
[ As he grabs for his phone again, the feed cuts out, RIP. ]

With Stannis missing for over two days and a potential madman on the loose, usernames, Wyver and Olympia conflicts fall short in his mind. He's had to deal with this matter before and lost his brother, he wasn't going to let others die because of Ramsay Bolton.]
There is a man that has been assuming an identity publicly, you might know him as "Willem Rivers", a bastard from Westeros. He might appear charming and friendly, but this man is dangerous. His real name is Ramsay Bolton and committed a number of crimes in my world, including murder and flaying. Don't trust him and be on your guard. Now that he is being backed into a corner, he will become a mad dog and lash out at anyone who he feels slighted him.
Those in the royal guard, I appeal to you to help me find and detain him. He might have a new victim, Stannis Baratheon. Anyone that might have experience in combat or tracking, meet me in the training yard in front of the Palace of Olympia.

Dec. 4th, 2017 07:25 pminaurareHello every… ah, anyone who might see this. My name is Linneus. I... am not sure if this is working.
[leaving comments on other people’s posts is one thing, but putting his own out is quite another, and there’s a certain degree of nervousness that hasn’t been present in his everyday interactions, accentuated by the fact that he is clearly chilled and just about holding off a shiver]
I was hoping perhaps someone might be able to help. Someone in Olympia, that is. You see I returned from Wyver just now and-- well, look.
[the shift in camera angle is clumsy, but eventually he steadies the device on his surroundings. A broken-in window, the snow blown inside in small drifts. As he pans it’s clear that what little home he had started to make for himself has been quite overturned, covers tossed back and pulled off beds, cupboards and shelves standing empty, but he doesn’t linger too long on those. His main focus is on the window, one hand reaching into frame to gesture as he draws closer]
I can manage much of the housework and the cleaning, but it’s this is the trouble - it’s sort of a sash window, but it draws to the side instead of up. [a careful tug - broken glass notwithstanding, it’s clearly stuck open] I’m not sure I can manage to take it off its track by itself - I think the glass will break further if I try. But I hoped someone might try and help me with finding a replacement and perhaps fitting it?
[turning the camera back on himself, a slightly shy smile.]
I should forewarn that I may not be capable of instant repayment, but I would consider myself in your debt and endeavour to do what I can. I… await any reply, even if you’ve only advice to offer, but I shan’t be instantaneous in my replies, you understand. I have no small amount of cleaning up of my own to do…

Nov. 2nd, 2017 09:41 pmsauciusHey, I'm the Exile. I know, weird name.
So, hear me out.
[ Hear is all you can do anyway, as the Exile is big on not showing her face. ]
Would people be oh so opposed to grab your stuff and move somewhere else in the planet? Away from Olympia and Wyver and whoever else might be out there?
[ It's not exile if you leave willingly right? And if nobody kicks you out. ]
And before someone invites me to leave alone, I'm more interested in building something lasting. I can't do that by myself.
But ask yourselves this: would they let us? These powers that be. Just how much freedom we have?
Think about it.
So, hear me out.

[When Dylas starts the audio feed, he’s already not sure if he wants to do this. What a follows is a long sigh before he actually begins speaking in earnest.]
Hey. I know everyone’s sick. It’s pretty bad. I’m sure you all know some of the symptoms, but maybe you guys have been feeling something else, too? Something happened to me last month. Er, has been...happening.
[There’s a long, uncomfortable pause. He doesn’t know what he’s doing.]
I mean, maybe your body is changing. Doing things it couldn’t before. Maybe...being more sensitive. Maybe you’re noticing something different about yourself that you didn’t before? Something that doesn’t line up with the symptoms? If that happens, you should talk to the Orbiters. [Another pause. Ugh. He hates doing this, seriously.] They can apparently change our bodies without asking. They, uh. Can give us things that weren’t there before.
[He’s clearly not wanting to go into any details. Or maybe it’s not clear. He’s just this deep, masculine voice who sounds sort of confused about how to address large groups.]
So if you start feeling weird outside of the sickness or weren’t sick before, it might be that your body is going through new changes.
[Another long pause.]
It’s not puberty. I’ve already done that.

objectionattorneyI know this is a bit of a chaotic time for us all. With the recent chemical explosion as well as the announcement of suspected terrorists to Olympia I'm sure you're all frantically running about trying to find the few loved ones that you have. But it's during times like this that a network system such as the one we have is the most important.
If any of you are searching for someone and are unable to get in contact with them please leave a post here mentioning that. This way others can keep an eye out for them or they may even be able to contact you themselves in order to tell you they're safe.
Also if providing aid this space could be a used to mention the resources you are able to provide as well as locations that are taking in those that are sick or injured.
Finally, if any of you who happen to be involved with what's going on with the current suspected attack, please feel free to personally contact me or state your case here. Remember, you are not guilty until there is absolute proof of it. If you feel like you've been wrongly accused I will be happy to help.

Sep. 27th, 2017 09:31 pmidealog[ He's done his reading. He's lurked around the Red Light district for answers. 9S has seen a lot recently, but he still doesn't know. It's an itch in his mind waiting for a good scratch, but observation and research hasn't quite done the trick. He's got the basics down, he thinks, but it still seems a little too personal to test the waters himself. Being physical with someone like that? He may as well give a stranger his personal decryption codes. He's made friends here and most people aren't so bad, but the vulnerability still bothers him.
9S is more than a little exasperated with wondering. The world, especially a new one like this, is full of so much else yet there's so much focus on that one activity. ]
Why are humans so obsessed with sex? Aren't there more interesting things to do?
[ Phrasing it like that might ease the "why are you so weird?" "i'm an android" part of a conversation, he thinks, but 9S realizes it's strange enough that people will be confused regardless. This was a terrible idea. Where's the delete function on this thing, anyway?
Sigh.]
At least it's not war, I guess.
[ Always a positive. ]

tummyflowers[On the feed appears a man! No, not a man, a king. And his username is real_life_actual_king, since that's kind of important. Although often an informal unit, Richard is decked out in the standard issue armor and helmet of the Royal Guard. It's polished to perfection. He clears his throat.]
Hello all, it's me. I'm Kind Richard with the disclaimer that the name is intentionally ironic. I've just returned from the beach, which was just fantastic. I had a great time, all around. Never did get to see that fighting pit I kept hearing about, but a really good time altogether. And how about that train, am I right? Talk about posh.
Anyway, I wanted to give people a bit of a heads up. I'm with the Royal Guard and by now, kind of a venerated veteran of sorts, I wanted to let people know that we are still recruiting. Mind you, I'm not doing the recruiting! This is more of an information awareness announcement, since you'll have to speak directly to the Commander. A tad inefficient on her part, I'll grant you, but delegation is not her strongest suit. But you tell them that your old pal Rick sent you and you'll be well on your way to making this city a better, safer place to live. Also, you'll get paid for it, so that's a nice little bonus as well. Once you're in, you can have a talk with me. I run the armory, so I'll get you hooked up with the same kind of trendy fashion you see on display right now.
Now, unrelated to this whole business of being a guard, I wanted to open the floor to people who may have had experiences like I have had. If you've recently loss your kingdom and seat of power and been reduced to living the life of a meaningless and inconsequential peasant, then you're talking to someone who's been there. It's not easy, believe me. I've gone through a number of musical numbers just trying to cope with it. But if you need someone to talk to, then I'm there for you. You don't have to suffer alone anymore.
I think that's about it. Now, how the hell do I stop this from recording? Is this it?
Ah, good. That was easier than I thought. I think I did pretty well with the whole psycho-therapeutic mentoring thing there at the end, eh Tad Cooper? Really inspired some hope in those poor hopeless sods. Hm? The light's still on? Oh hell.
Maybe if I just... and then... okay, I'll just-!

Clearly, she's someone that has learned to use the device but isn't naturally familiar with them. Finally, she gets it going and gives the feed a casual wave.]
So quick question for you all. That is what this thing is used for, right? Broad and yet somehow specific questions that we ask each other for the purpose of figuring more out about this place and each other? Perfect, because that's just what I've got for you now!
Has anyone met people they know from back home and they know you, but not exactly you as you are. Like me for example, instead of knowing me as a beautiful woman with stunning eyes and great hair, they might know me as a burly man with a fantastic beard.
Thankfully, he seems to share my unique wit and intelligence, otherwise that would just be awkward if they had to return home to a me that was second rate.
[She makes a gesture like wiping her brow in relief. But it's needlessly theatrical and over the top that it's clear she's just doing it for the show.]
And while I've asked them the important things like "is he a mage", "what does he order at the bar", "how attractive would you rate him from 1-10" since it would also be embarrassing if the other you was ugly. Especially since I hate dealing with ugly people.
What else is there to ask? Taste in home decor? What he named his dog? Can he do a backflip? I'll take both suggestions and commiseration and maybe some confusion if neither of those work for you.

Has anyone met people they know from back home and they know you, but not exactly you as you are. Like me for example, instead of knowing me as a beautiful woman with stunning eyes and great hair, they might know me as a burly man with a fantastic beard.
Thankfully, he seems to share my unique wit and intelligence, otherwise that would just be awkward if they had to return home to a me that was second rate.
[She makes a gesture like wiping her brow in relief. But it's needlessly theatrical and over the top that it's clear she's just doing it for the show.]
And while I've asked them the important things like "is he a mage", "what does he order at the bar", "how attractive would you rate him from 1-10" since it would also be embarrassing if the other you was ugly. Especially since I hate dealing with ugly people.

Sep. 5th, 2017 09:33 pmshashka[ an eyepatch-wearing dog's (or is it a wolf's) face appears in the feed. as though he was the one who was making the post.
as it just so happens, he might have been, with a very proud-looking man, coming into the frame to give him a scratch behind the ears. ]
Good boy.
[ the point of this exercise was twofold. to get to know a little more about his fellow refugees and what they held dear. and, well... maybe a small part of him wanted to show off his "son's" rather impressive skills. but, he would absolutely never admit that. ]
Everyone, this is DD. [ at the sound of his name, he gives an affirmative "bark", and Ocelot nods. ] All right, DD. Can you type "hello world" for everyone?
[ the dog (or wolf, who really knows) gives him a look, but sure enough, some text begins to appear on the screen. ]
jherlkjljkoi ew kafdsjlewoifadklads
[ a valiant effort... for a dog. Ocelot shakes his head, but gives DD a pat on the head for effort. ]
Well... maybe we just need a bit more practice.
[ DD barks in approval yet again, tail wagging. ]
How many of you have had friends like DD returned to you lately? How many of you are still waiting? Both of us [ he gives DD another pat on the head. ] are interested to hear what you have to say.
[ and he looks back to DD, and gives a nod. ]
DD, off.
[ and the dog nudges the feed, once, twice, before it's turned off again. ]

so the weathers starting to get a little cooler
its not just me noticing this, right??
that means summer is almost over (｡•́︿•̀｡)
weve gotta have a party!

you cant just let summer end without having a beach party, thats just wrong
you gotta have beach volleyball! and watermelon splitting! and swimsuits and tasty food and all the other stuff
do you think theyd let us have a beach party here? if I find a place to do it, everyone is invited!
we gotta send summer off properly! (*•̀ᴗ•́*)و ̑̑

Aug. 24th, 2017 11:51 pmdemonlyheya i have a quick question for you all if that's ok
oh i almost forgot. i'm okumura! you can just call me rin though if thats easier for you to say
anyway do any of ya have siblings? or maybe someone ya see as one...i woulda just asked my roommate and kept it at that but she doesn't have any
what do ya do if ya get in a fight with em? not a little fight but like a big one
i think i might learn something by asking other siblings and people for what they'd do. maybe it's weird to ask complete strangers this but i just wanna make things better with my brother when he gets up and maybe some of ya have better ideas than me
since nothing i've tried has worked out
in return i can uhhhh give ya some advice about your siblings too! or if ya just feel like talking about em if ya miss em i understand
thanks for readin!

Aug. 23rd, 2017 05:46 pmwitchhoodedhello!
my name is jade harley and i should probably keep this as simple as possible, so i will be quick
prior to waking up after the storm i had a lot of interesting and incredibly cool abilities
i am the witch of space so i can alter space at my will, it is super cool and i do not even need a fork to eat cake with!
these abilities included things like flying, growing and shrinking people, material items and planets
however after waking up i found that my abilities were...........
well altered in some way! :o
it is very mysterious and i am curious if anyone else is having this problem
in particular, i can no longer fly for long periods of time
i also seem to have limitations on how small or large i can grow things
i suppose it stands to reason that after the storm, well...
things would change for me
but i guess i was not expecting this in particular :\
if anyone else has experienced this phenomena, i would greatly appreciate it if you spoke up!
it may also be worth it to consider discussing what kind of abilities we all have
who knows what will be helpful!
perhaps i will keep a little document for our benefit, just in case :)
it doesnt havent to be something impossible sounding, i think even being well read in certain things is amazing!
knowledge is so cool
oh and i guess it is becoming commonplace to say where we are working
im an herbalist working at the plant nursery so if you would like to talk about plants sometime, i am your girl hehehe!!! :D
also if anyone wants to show me some games i would appreciate that
i am finding it a little bit difficult to find board games here and i miss playing them :(

Aug. 22nd, 2017 04:29 pmlacuscularHello,
How is everyone? Are you all sleeping well?
[ After at least three rough drafts, and one peer review by her (illiterate) roommate, Juvia has finally arrived onto the network with a post she can be proud of. ]
Juvia has been thinking. Are there any stories you all like?
Or, maybe, things from your home you want to share. It could be anything. Your favorite food, person, book, or place.
I will share something to start: Juvia would bring her guild, Fairy Tail, if she could.
Thank you

Aug. 22nd, 2017 09:38 amjuniberries[She's been thinking about a past conversation she's had before coming here, about promises made before waking up from stasis, and...well...
The video feed shows her sitting in her bedroom, wearing all black with the Royal Guard insignia pinned to her chest, and while ordinarily she'd make herself look prim and proper for a video conference it's kind of hard to do so living in a hovel and not in a Castle-ship. Still, she's trying.]
Upon first waking and learning of the Storm, I had been told that my friends are being held in quarantine, and that continues to remain true for now even as we make do on Olympia. I cannot be the only person here who has animal companions and wishes to reunite with them in the near future.
If anyone here has been reunited with their animal friends, my ears are open as to how you got them back. I... [she hesitates, and then rephrases whatever it is she was going to say.] There are not many living things from my homeworld left, even in the universe where I am from. The space mice had been a great comfort, especially in unfamiliar territory such as this.
[She begins to undo her hair from its updo and...it's a lot of hair for a bun that was so neat and orderly.]
I also wish to inform those I know that I am currently assisting the Royal Guard in the Noble District. It is strange interacting with the nobility here when your own title holds no weight.

Aug. 21st, 2017 10:57 pmnakatsu[What is up everyone??
Nakatsu is broadcasting live from the bathroom. He's sitting on the edge of the tub with his hair freshly done so it's at max spike levels. You can't smell the bleach, but he's spent the morning touching his roots and he feels and looks 1000% today. This is going to be a great post.]
So I'm pretty sure today's my birthday. I worked it out. It's August 20th, right? Does it work the same here as it does back home? Is a year three hundred and sixty five days?? Whether it does or not, you all have to say nice things to me!!
[There's no time to dwell on this joyous event. We're moving on.
As we move on, pay special attention. Nakatsu has the recorder propped up against something so he can make full use of his hands. And he does. He has the most expressive hands you've ever seen.]
Okay, I'll be honest. I didn't make this video to talk about me. I need a job. I mean. I have a job already. I walk this guy's chicken's around the neighbourhood and he pays me. They money's not bad. [But his expression looks pained.] But chickens? Come on. I can't walk chickens. Look. Someone give me a job, okay. I'm a great worker and I've got serious experience in a ton of useful areas. [It's a lie.]
I even got my two dumbass housemates to stop shouting at each other! They're practically best friends now! That's how great I am. [That's another lie. Theon and Robb are still the worst. He looks offscreen to the bathroom door, just to make sure neither of them can hear right now.] They'll give you a great recommendation for me, I promise! [thumbs up!
-wait] I don't want to be a guard though. I mean. I'm glad lots of you are out there fighting the fight and chasing down guys who steal ladies underwear or whatever, but. [shruuuuug] No way that's for me. [He's not even going to talk about getting a job in the red light district. Don't talk to him about it, he'll die.] I went to give blood! But, that's not a job either, you know?
[There's a pause of about ten seconds here as he stares off camera, apparently contemplating what kind of job it might be to donate blood for a living.
Focus, Nakatsu.] So! All you guys out there! Someone can give me a job, I know it! If it's working with food I accept already! If it's working as a dumb guard, forget it. Okay! Peace!
[He reaches for the camera- which he fumbles and drops to the floor.
This is a super flattering angle up his nose.] Hey, I almost forgot! If you're free sometime and you know what soccer is, let me know! We should play.
[A little more scrabbling and there's finally some silence. There. It's over.]
