If you were to be kidnapped and held for ransom, how much or what would you expect the payment to be?

I'd like to think I'm worth 666 virgins of noble birth.


[Action: Various Locations]

[Grell made sure to stop by both shelters of The Red House Foundation in Genessia City and Everglade. She has to make sure things are running smoothly, that staff are abiding by regulations, and that residents are being treated well. She let the children at either shelter play with her hair, since there's so much of it (it's almost touching the floor). So if anyone catches her with her hair in multiple braids full of ribbons and flowers, then...well point it out!

A few hours after her visit to the shelters (no longer with braids and such) in Nova City, a promotional event is held for her new holographic lingerie line, Hard Light, with herself and two other models on the street in front of the company helping create the technology. A crowd is gathered to watch the display, taking pictures and recording the event. Using a special compact for changing clothing, Grell goes from a red skirt suit to showing off something catering to a darker side with just a few taps, while the other models wear something more delicate and inclusive of the range of sizes the technology could compliment.

Around 4pm, Grell is at her lingerie shop in Fayren, changing the mannequins in the shop window to display something similar to what was in the promotional event. Yet around 6pm, she can be found napping in that display window, back against the wall and slumped against the window, device in her hand. It's obvious that she was using it before falling asleep...

She's had a long day!]

The following rumors are going around as NPC gossip. Your characters are welcome to hear them. The rumors may be true or false, and the subject of the rumor is randomly selected from the taken list. If a character shares the same first name with another character, we will not specify which one it is.

This week's rumors are:

1. Marco was actually murdered and replaced by a doppelganger.. spooky!

2. That Ted Satchel guy is actually some kind of snuff-kink loving vigilante.

3. Blair slayed 100 men! I'm not sure whether that was in the bedroom or battlefield though... Caroline was being pretty vague when she told me.

[The feed switches on, facing the ground and a set of feet appear on the ground where it's facing. it's hard to tell whose feet they belong to, but it's obvious said feet are laying down on the ground, so it wasn't whoever was holding the device.

However, it wasn't long before it's turned and Haru's face can be clearly seen giving a soft smile. She still hasn't made it obvious about whoever it is on the floor.]

I wanted to use this advice to ask business owners who are connected to something food related or might know of someone who would be interested in what I have to say. Maybe I'll even ask for just people in general but...

[She paused for a moment.]

I'm planning on setting up a garden within the next week and transfer what plants I am growing to it. I hope for them to be used in places like cafes if and occasionally fresh produce for home as well should people want it. But I will need some volunteers to try it out when they are fully grown.

[Another pause for a moment.]

As for what fruits or vegetables with the plant pots I have currently, I am growing cucumber, tomatoes, sweet potato and cabbage as well as coffee beans.

[She tilts her head slightly, still smiling the whole time.] So let me know if you are interested or not. Thank you for listening.

[She soon turns her head slightly before putting a free hand to her mouth.]

I should add... if one does a bounty and somehow by chance actually managed to succeed in getting the culprit do you know where one is meant to take them?

[She turns the feed off, but for those within Fayren would find the young woman looking around slightly baffled.]

[This is not the first time Yuuko has woken up with no recollection of what's happened to her. This time, the location was very unfamiliar though. There's a vague feeling that she's forgetting something important, but as the minutes tick by, even that begins to fade. After she's left the bay however, she finds a spot to sit down and poke at her new phone. The directions were simple enough.]


Helloooooo? Is this on?

[She begins. However, anyone who can't see ghosts/supernatural things or are generally unaware/don't believe in their existence will only see the scenery behind her and won't be able to hear her, either.]

This definitely isn't my school. I know this pamphlet says this city is called Genessia, but where is it? Another country? I'm a little confused.

[Honestly, she seems pretty calm for the situation she's in.]

So...what can anyone tell me about this place that I haven't already read about?

[ooc note: This action takes place in other peoples dreams. Seth is a dream walker and can also manipulate dreams. I will be depending on the person tagging to describe the dream. Please also fill out permissions: HERE. Which mostly sets limits. Seth is in dreams to help. It's his thing. Thank you!]

[The physical world falls away, leading Seth to a haze of thick foggy white clouds. It's been some time since he's stepped into the world of dreams, unsure if the darkness has followed him to this strange new place. While the world of Genessia is small. The world of dreams is only limited by the dreamer.

A tower rises in Seth's view like a minaret standing before him. The tower is cast in white marble with beacons of light pouring through the windows. It is an empty and forgotten place, visited only when Seth hopes to experiance a touch of his past. These are Seth's dreams, private and protected. Dark clouds linger along the haze of white but they're kept back; for now.

A shimmering white tiger walks through the empty echoing halls of the tower. He stops at a mirror that shows off thick white wings on his back.] Will you find me now... brother? [The voice is deeper than Seth's usual tone as it rumbles from the tigers chest. He steps into the mirror and steps through the dreams of those residing in Genessia. Seth prefers to watch though he banishes darker nightmares when he can and slips away from private or lewd affairs. He has no interest in seeing into peoples hearts and minds but he needs to travel to rebuild his strength.]
