[Anastasia awoke early in the morning to the feeling of her blankets feeling unusually heavy. She likes her covers heavy, but why does she need to pull herself up her pillow to escape?

Why did she just crawl across a pillow? When she flipped her long, blonde hair out of the way, why did she also flip a bug antennae?

Why are her stuffed animals twice her size? Why was her bedroom - and everything in it - so much bigger now than when she went to sleep? A quick look over herself determined two things: She needed to get dressed and she was about 6 or 8 inches tall. What else? She had butterfly wings and bug antennae.

Obviously, she was a fairy now. She has mixed feelings about this. She wanted to be a fairy again since the last time, but she would've appreciated some warning. After the fairy princess practiced fluttering around with her new wings, she fluttered over to her dresser and used a few sheets of tissue to make herself a dress, she then fluttered over to her nightstand to work the phone with her now comparatively tiny hands.]

(Video)

[While she was close enough to appear normal on the screen, it was clear by her posture that she was kneeling on the phone. Gosh, she's tiny.]

I think I'm a fairy now. Did anyone else get turned into something? Did this take anyone by surprise? Or is this to be expected?

...A-anyway... If anyone can make a dress for me to hold me over until I turn back to normal, I would be ever so thankful. ...In the mean time, I'm going out for a walk around town...or I suppose "flutter" is a better word...

(Action - Nova & Genessia: Anytime)

[Though honestly, Anastasia has no idea how she's going to carry a phone that's a big as she is. Well, it has a cute bunny-themed strap on it, so she'll just carry it. Yeah, a very smart idea as she slowly flutters around the city carrying a phone that dangles from a pink strap. She's practically begging to be captured by a carnival, a bug collector or a cat.

Though it was a surprise and a workout to adapt to her tiny size, Anastasia made sure not to forget that she can't wear the magic circlet anymore, so she is vulnerable to the weather that is still hot and dangerous for her race, perhaps even more so now that she is 8 inches tall. Anastasia can be found fluttering around about waist high above the ground, dressed in a tissue dress and wearing a tissue hood to shield her from the oppressive heat of sunlight. She wasn't looking for anything or anyone, just more-or-less getting used to her fairy form and seeing if anything happened.

She can definitely be found in Nova City and later in Genessia city. It's not outside the realm of possibility that she didn't pace her tiny size correctly and ended up in Genessia after dark.]

[Fai was already aware of what was going on in Genessia. he lived there and had been dealing with it as he had gone from Genessia to Nova City just to check on a few things at Bunny Poof Cafe. However, it soon became obvious that something was different about the older man when he switched on the feed and he was sitting in a room where the curtains were closed. The lights were at least on so it wasn't completely black.

A smile was still plastered on his face as usual even if things didn't seem normal.]

I guess something must be going on not just in Genessia, but Nova City as well. Has anyone else noticed such a thing?

[He looked to the side.]

Because of what is going on in Nova City I find myself in a situation... One that I am actually somewhat familiar with, but not fully familiar. [Like him needing to keep the curtains closed in the backroom of the cafe. That was not fun having to stay here for the time being.]

It's a strange experience never the less but it brings me to ask an even more strange question. Does anyone know the term Game? To note it's probably not what you think it is in the obvious area of games. [He put a hand behind his neck, rubbing it slightly. It may be one of these times he really wished Kurogane was around. Would be so useful.]

But if you don't, I guess it's better to simply put it in another term. Since I cannot leave the backroom of the Bunny Poof right now, I am unable to go to Everglade and get some blood. So...I kind of need someone to come to me with some if possible. You will, of course, be rewarded if you do this little task. Just need to name your price.

[His smile widens slightly.]

Thank you and good day.

[This is going to be a long month. David is very prepared to take it on, though. He starts up the video feed. He needs to go over some things.]

Until this is all over, Genessia City will have a curfew. Tentatively, it will be set for 10PM until we have a better grasp of when the creatures appear. This curfew is only for those who have no way to defend themselves from the monsters.

[It honestly feels like it should go without saying that anyone that can't fight these things shouldn't go out and put themselves in danger, though.]

There is no punishment for breaking the curfew, but it is highly suggested that if you can't fight those things that you should either be inside of a building when they appear or in another archway. Judging from what’s going on in other cities and given how long stuff like this usually lasts, It’s a safe bet that they will be making a few encore appearances.

I will try to have safe areas set up on every city block that I can for people to take shelter in should they need to. The creatures appeared to be unable to go into buildings, so that's a good thing. The GCPD will also be out to help combat the creatures and lend aid where they can. I will have groups of them positioned throughout the city.

If you can actually fight against these things, your help would be very much appreciated when they attack. Genessia isn't a small city so it's impossible to cover every inch. If you would like to receive some sort of payment for giving your help, then I can try to have something arranged. I ask that if you do come to Genessia City to do this, to make sure you help anyone in need and make sure they get to the nearest safe area.

Anyone that can't battle these creatures can also have someone that can escort them through Genessia City or request a police escort if they really need it.

( Are you afriad of the Big Bad Wolf? )

I am seeking the elite fighters amongst you. This could be an important opportunity for eight of the most impressive.

To those who may be new arrivals or those I have not yet met, let me formally introduce myself. I am Grievous, one of the dedicated Deputies to the Guardians of Nova City.

As mentioned, I require skilled fighters for a special squadron of elite guards. You will be under my instruction and guidance and will answer only to myself, however your duties will also include general protection of the cities when required, Nova in particular. This position will be split between eight of you to a schedule. You may be working a day or two, so consider this a supplemental job to what you may already be doing. However, you will be expected to be taking your guard work for me very seriously and I will not tolerate foolishiness. There will be a two month trial period. One or two exceptional applicants may be selected as head of the squad with special bonuses.

As for your skills, they can be flexible in style as long as you are competant in your choice of weaponry. I will be holding interviews from now until the eight positions are filled. Any questions can be asked here, as well as arrangements to meet up for anyone suitable.

[ Video, Evening of the first day ]

[ When the video flicks on, Konoka is at first focused on her face. Her eyes look... redder. Not completely red compared to her normal brown eyes, but notably redder. But since her face hogs the screen one could easily just blame the camera, right? She looks concerned. ]

Everything seems to have gone weird this morning. There's monsters in Genessia at night, people becoming monsters in Nova City, people facing their monsters in Attleton, and then little monsters eating my store in Everglade.

Hey, but on the bright side Fayren gives you a free costume when you walk through it!

But even through all that, I have a very important question.

[ She finally pulls back, revealing that she's not in her regular casual clothes, but an orange, form fitting jumpsuit and long sleeved blouse that hugs her figure. But most of all Konoka seems to have horns curling back behind her like a ram's, tiny wings and... a spade tipped tail? ]

Why does touching people feel so good?

...

Oh! And just a reminder, guys! For those of you dealing with those naughty monsters, I sell good protection at my store! These spells can erect quick barriers, lay traps, and even make copies of you to scout or deliver magical attacks to better survive those rough nights. And of course if you take too much damage, I can make the pain go away and heal for free, regardless if I'm at the store or enroute back home. Take care, okay?



[ Action, for all days ]

[ Konoka's schedule tends to go like this: When she wakes up, she makes a beeline for Fayren to get her free costume, which changes every day. After that, she might spend the day at her store in Everglade, catching naps if she doesn't have any customers. In the evening she heads home, though checking in by person or comms if someone needs medical help. ]

((Please note a date when tagging for action.))

Who: Mercury, Yang, Emerald, and SOMEONE
Where: Attleton, near the gate to Genessia City

WARNINGS: Since it's going into Mercury's history with his father, this is gonna get pretty dark. Mentions of child abuse and murder are guaranteed, and as far as actions go there'll be violence, maybe some torture, and Mercury's mouth at its worst. It ain't gonna be pretty.

Extra info 2: Here's a visual of how Scott looks like.

[Gale had already been out when midnight hit, so he was quick to pick up on his transformation thanks to the casualty that was one of his shirts, which tore open at the seams thanks to the sudden appearance of his wings. At least his jacket was spared the same fate. It was certainly a feeling of deja vu when he'd looked in the mirror and saw the horns on his head, and honestly? It was a welcome change. He'd had so much fun last year with the whole 'incubus' thing as it was, so this time around should prove just as entertaining. And on his birthday, no less! He just had to make a hasty return back to his apartment to change into the proper attire again. He's glad that getting that leather outfit to match it last year wasn't a waste.

So when Gale comes on video later in the day, he's decked out in his outfit of black and purple leather and clearly seems to be in a good mood in some lively establishment. Luckily with the way the camera was turned, there was little evidence to show where he really was... Faye may have taken him out to the Glitter Palace. He'd been eager to check the place out when he'd overheard some people in Hangar Queen talking about it and some guy that supposedly worked there a while back. Yeah. He's at a strip club. Don't judge him.]

Well, isn't this certainly a fun surprise? Or at least, it is for me. I appreciate the birthday gift, Genessia, really.

[It sure beats something terrible happening, given the superstition of the whole "Friday the 13th." What nonsense. Let him have his birthday in peace.]

So, Nova City became one big ol' Monster Mash, huh? Now, since I've seen a couple of you so weirdly helpless about it, if you came out of the city with wings and horns, congratulations! You got one of the more interesting options in the creature roulette. Ladies, you're a succubus. Guys, you're an incubus. If you don't know what that means, well... how old are you? Twelve?

Kids, turn off your devices. Uncle Gale's about to get frisky.

[God help us all.]

( cut for mentions of friskier adult content gale please stop )

[He winks at the feed and then takes a drink from a glass of wine that was sitting on the table in front of. Honestly, those poor unassuming transformees are distracting him from the show.]

That said, having wings again and the whole nonsense in Everglade is putting a few of my plans behind. I'd hoped for an October opening, but right now, I don't want the place getting eaten. Fixing that window was bad enough.

[He's still mad, Dracula.]

By the way, all you keep an eye open for the next newspaper and keep the 31st open. Just sayin'.

[His eyes are drawn away from the feed and to a particularly scantily clad lady passing by his table and he just casually turns off the feed.]


( Private Video; Sonico )

Hello, Mr. Nozaki, I need to request a day off. Sorry for the short notice but I can't go to work today...my body went through some changes after I visited Nova City this morning and I'm still dealing with them.

['Some changes' being the two visible horns in his head. Scott is trying to keep the camera steady so it only shows him from the shoulders up. His powers are gone and he is, for once, not wearing the glasses.  Out of frame, in his back are a pair of leathery wings and a really long tail.

Said tail is attracting the attention of his dog but Scott doesn’t notice the pup approaching until Horatio sinks his teeth in his tail. Scott startles and yelps in response to the jolt of pain, wings flapping in surprise and dropping the camera in the process.]
