VOICE; OPEN
( poorly filtered against cinder, emerald, mercury, neo, and roman )
After learning more about the situation Emerald spoke of from Professor Ozpin, I've decided to put the Beacon Academy archway in Nova City under heavy guard as it was created before its destruction in our world. No one may enter or leave without my explicit permission until further notice. I opened it up, I'll be taking responsibility for what's in it until further notice.

WHO: Satori and YOU
WHAT: Teleportation event
WHERE: Chireiden
WHEN: First day of the event
WARNINGS: Much grump, being stared at, bothersome raccoons

( This, too, was another one of those days. )

Who: Pyrrha Nikos, Adeline, & RWBY Household later
What: Adeline offered to take Pyrrha out to dinner when she arrived because she could tell that she seemed troubled, and things get a little interesting....
Where: Dinner and then later the household
When: January 12th

[ Adeline ]

[After that shaky arrival, Pyrrha had called Adeline to take her up on that offer. She seemed to see right through her troubles, though she didn't know what they were right now. It would be nice to just... talk to someone who wasn't connected to her world. Not that her friends shouldn't know, just it was easier to get the perspective of another person's at a time like this. 

After settling on a place, she finally spoke after a moment.]

Thank you for the invite.

[ RWBY Household ]

[Later on in the night, she may have drank a bit too much. Luckily she didn't drink a lot during her dinner with Adeline, but... probably more than she should have. She had to have some help from Adeline, but hopefully she wouldn't run into someone else before she made it to where she was staying.]

[OOC: Anyone is able to talk to Pyrrha while she embarrasses herself.]

[The video turns on to show a young, red-haired girl who looks more curious than anything. Judging by the scenery in the background, she's wandering around Genessia. There's no point sitting around and moping! She scratches the back of her head with a sheepish smile as she addresses the feed.]

So I guess I'm stuck here, huh? [At least she's got that figured out.]

I'm Yuna Yuki, member of the Sanshu Middle School hero Club!

[She pauses for a moment, but still looks more or less calm. She's definitely wants to get home and is worried about her friends, but...there's other people trapped here too.] I guess since I'm here and there's no way back home right now, I should probably find something to do.

Does anyone need help with anything? Rehoming kittens, cleaning up a park? As a member of the Hero Club, it's my duty to help people in need!

[This device wasn't much different from the Scroll at the very least. It took her a while to get her barrings, but eventually, the red-head finally showed up on. Although.... she seems a bit discouraged. Or rather that's an understatement. As calm headed as she usually is, she couldn't help but be a bit concerned.]

Excuse me... I seem to be... in a predicament right now. I really need to get back home. Can anyone help me out?

There's... some important business that I need to attend to and if I'm not there... Let's just say things are going to get messy.

Thank you for your assistance.

[And with that, she does a polite nod of the head as if to say good bye and she's gone.

OOC: PYRRHA IS TAKEN FROM A VERY RECENT EPISODE, SO LET ME KNOW IF YOU WOULD LIKE ME TO KEEP FROM SAYING ANY SPOILERS.]

[A voice comes on over the feed. It's been a while since Artanis addressed the community as a whole, but certainly not the first time his voice has been broadcast using this device. As before, it has a very noticeable echo to it, much like the popular depiction of telepathy. Psychics may even notice that it is telepathically based.]

I greet you once again, fellow inhabitants. Once again, I find myself seeking out advice from those who have more experience with matters in this place.

Ever since I arrived, I have been searching for a job that fits my capabilities, yet...nothing has come up. I'm afraid I am ill-suited to many of the tasks that are posted for employment.

[He's also going out of his way to avoid customer service jobs. There's no way a seven-foot tall, grey-skinned, telepathic alien without a nose or even mouth would work at making a good first impression.]

So, I must ask, are there any other sources I can seek out for employment? Ideally, a position that makes use of the skills I've gleaned would be best, if one is available. My experiences lie in the fields of politics, strategy and tactics, hand-to-hand combat, and technology -- even the level of technology in Nova City is old-fashioned compared to the society I hail from. I understand that these traits may not be necessarily in demand in a place such as Genessia, but it cannot hurt to get confirmation.

That is all. I thank you for your time.

(One Poe Dameron's first thought was - when'd the base become a cave? His second thought it was - where's BB-8? Third? Well, he had this feeling more than once in recent days.

This is bad. I have a bad feeling about this.

(He finds himself staring intently at the box that had been lying on his chest while he slept and he pauses as he reaches towards it to open it and see what was inside. He wonders if this is a trap, a set up of some sort, but judging from the pamphlet he had just glanced over...this couldn't be something that the First Order had set up.

Propaganda aside...

Besides, Poe found himself internally chuckling. He would have woken up in a cell and more or less incapacitated and probably surrounded by guards or just locked inside with someone staring him down, he didn't care to think about that experience again- not lying in a box with a soft material making up the inside.

He, in that moment, just opened the item in his hands. His eyes were first drawn to the necklace. Then he saw the communication device. Then the red paper bills.)

So, jewelry, some sort of communication device, and...paper...money, I suppose. Whoever is doing this, they really should get a new job.

Yeah, no real answers...great.

(If anyone he knew was here, he would be seriously trying to shrug that off like he never end said it. But, as far as he knew, there was no familiar faces - no one he had to look out for, keep out of harm's way.

He thinks at this point he is more than allowed to be unsettled.

Besides, none of this was making any sense. He had never heard of Genessia, whether it was a settlement or a world itself, and he certainly did not remember being asked to come here or even ordered. Nor did he remember falling asleep in a box. Then the pilot picked up the videophone and after a minute he managed to turn on the video function.)

Video:

Alright, got that figured out. I'm Poe Dameron, pilot. (He decides against going into much more detail than that for now. Who knows where this place's loyalty was to.) So, is waking up in boxes a normal thing around here? Also, got a few questions to go with that if anyone's out there...

{Video}

[Terra smiles shyly at the screen, it’s set up on her counter and shows a small view of her modest kitchen.]

Hello, I’m trying to learn how to cook. I’m not too good at it but I have some good cookbooks I found at the book store. I have a few people who have already offered to help but if anyone else is willing I’d be grateful.

Thank you.

{Action}

[She knows a few people who will rush over after seeing her video. She’s invited them to learn to cook with her though she doesn’t know who will teach them. Terra has everything prepared with a cookbook open, the refrigerator stocked while pots and pans littered the counter tops. She doesn’t even know which would be best to use.

She’ll wait to hear a sound at the door, spending the extra time reading the intro to the cookbook while sitting at the kitchen table. It goes over food pre, names of equipment as well as common techniques to be used in the kitchen.]

[Text]
Quick question, nothing important but if you had literally every inch of you covered with a sticky smelly ass slime, where would be a good place to get it off?

No big hurry but I'd like this answered like yesterday.
Also back. Sorry was indisposed won't be happening again if I can help it



[Action]

It was a perfectly normal day in main city of Genessia. The air was crisp but not yet frigid, festivities were winding down leaving a sort of merry afterglow to the people, nearly every damn thing was on sale...with everything covered in snow, it was a picture perfect winter day. Nothing could possibly ruin it.

You know, except for that icky looking humanoid blob running past. You know, it almost looks like a person with big dragon wings if they weren't covered in thick goopy slime. You can even see her face as she blindly runs down the street, perhaps into you, and she's totally disgusted. Maybe she could use help? Or a talking to if she ran you over...

Uh, kind of an odd question, but... does anyone know where I can find 50 pound turtle shells?

[Private to Weiss]

Hey, uh... I've been giving it some serious thought, and with 18 here and all, the security guard job just... isn't where I want to be at the moment. Nothing against you or the job, I'd just like to try something with a bit more flexible hours and maybe reconnect with something from home. ...So I guess you could say this is my two weeks notice.

That said, if you ever need anything, feel free to give me a call.

[With all of the shaky-cam and heavy breathing of a shitty homemade horror film, here is Sasha, creeping through the woods, peering through the trees to reveal: a beautiful, pure, innocent unicorn.

Then, it's gone, and the camera gives you a nice shot of Sasha's face, and-- oh, dear, is that drool?]

Guys! Look at this! I've never seen one before?

D-do you think it tastes good....? Maybe I should try eating one for my birthday...

WHO: Anyone~
WHAT: A Party!
WHERE: The Palace of the Earth Spirits (Chireiden)
WHY: Unwind after the spirit incident
WHEN: July 19th
WARNINGS: Potential shenanigans/really big hugs/being stared at ~(o )~

The route to Chireiden had been clearly marked with magic lights, and the path had been sealed off from the monsters of the waterway... or at least they had been scared off. More lights led the guests around the massive imposing palace to the back where the party was being held. It was rather simple, made grand only by the location. Chireiden's gardens were immense, containing a large variety of fruits and vegetables. They surrounded a courtyard of massive slate slabs held together with something like concrete, branching off into several looping paths should anyone care to explore. On the back face of the palace itself was a very large fish pond containing several types of aquatic plants including lotus flowers. However it only contained four large koifish. Music was provided via a somewhat old fashioned record player that either sister would attend to regularly. In addition the brightly burning sun-globes placed around the garden gave everything a warm, welcoming feeling, accented by the faint flickering lights of the Ancient City in the distance. On rare occasion the ground would rumble faintly, causing drinks to ripple, but not much else.

Several tables had been set out, many surrounded by chairs, though the longest one of them was full of various foods and dishware. Nothing too heavy, but only part of it was appetizers, the rest looking more like meal options. Part of the table had been left clear for extra food should anyone decide to bring any. Desserts and drinks were at the end including a large hot metal container with a spout simply labeled "tea." Set to one side were two additional tables containing various alcohols. Fortunately Chireiden wasn't only limited to sake having brought out a few wines purchased from the Scarlet Mansion and several varieties of hard liquors and beers. There were several clay bottles set off to one side with several warnings pasted to the sides detailing just how dangerous oni sake could be to mortal creatures. Humans especially.

All around various animals milled about the tables, chairs, and guests. Some begged for scraps or attention, others were simply curious. The rabbits had a tendency to curl up on people's feet if they had the chance. A certain raccoon darted about, stealing crumbs and little tidbits from any unattended plates (at least until Satori caught him and brought him inside, much to his dismay.) Most of the animals came and went as they pleased; dogs, a fox, several ferrets, cats, birds, lizards, snakes, though very large tortoise seemed content to remain in its place, sitting next to a sun lamp and occupying the foot-space in front of one of the benches. A black panther remained on watch for trouble at all times, laying atop a large rock or silently roaming the edges of the party.

[There's a clap of thunder as the video starts and the camera focuses mainly on a decidedly green face, though it does jerk around as the holder swings what appears to be a massive one-handed hammer at the various spirits that accost him as he walks through Genessia's streets.]

By the ancestors... what in the Nether is going on here? If this is some Alliance scheme to leverage demands of the Horde, I assure you that Zul'jin and the others would sooner bring the might of the Horde down on Stormwind than give into any kind of demands.

[He pauses, the camera turning slightly as he thrusts his hammer forward, lightning jumping from its head and zapping several oncoming spirits, the bolt jumping from one to another.]

And if this is some attempt to get me to clean up whatever mess you humans have made with opening portals into the Twisting Nether, I promise you, your treasuries will not have enough gold to compensate me for this offense.

[That stuff from a few days back was unsettling, but there wasn't much that could be done about it at the moment.]


So I’ve been thinking..in my world there are different groups. For example, there is one called the Avengers. They’ve been called Earth’s Mightiest Heroes. They are made up of people from different walks of life. Iron Man, real name Tony Stark. A billionaire engineer who made a suit of armor to help fight crime. Captain America, a frozen hero from the 1940s. Hawkeye, a man with a bow and arrow. The Hulk, a scientist that turns into a big green monster when he is angry. Black Panther, a king from a foreign country. Hell, even the Thor, the Thunder God.

And many many more. Not all are on the team at the same time, and many members rotate out. The members may change, but their goal is always the same. To protect people and come together to fight the foes that might be too strong for just one person. Mutants like myself have been on the team as well, but there is a team called the X-Men that is made up of mutants that do pretty much the same thing when they can. But they aren’t nearly as well liked.

But what I’m getting at is that I’m thinking about forming a group like that here, and this posting just to test to waters and see if anyone would be interested in joining that sort of thing. I think it could be beneficial to this place as a whole. Given the business with the sky a few days ago, I think this is needed now more than ever. If this group is formed, I would establish a base with training facilities and such.

Joining the group wouldn’t mean you have an obligation to do anything nor would we expect you to give your affiliation with it priority over any other team or group that you are with. You would be expected to help out if a situation called for it or someone else in the group asked for your help, but you wouldn’t necessarily have to. Patrolling the cities, reporting any suspicious behavior or wanted criminals would be something asked of its members.

Your membership and participation is completely on your terms. You can stay with the group for however long you want and leave it if you don’t feel like being in it anymore.

Combat skills and fighting abilities aren't a necessity. If you have certain skills that you think would be beneficial, then you would be more than welcomed to join. Potential members will be interviewed and vetted, but nothing invasive would happen. The process would be explained to you before the interview starts.

So let me know what you all think. Questions, comments, anything. I believe that all of us together can accomplish a lot.


[ooc: TL;DR version Forming a superhero type group. Who is interested?]

[Video]
[This was...pretty shocking, to say the least. Holo had never seen any place like this before, and the pod she'd just gotten out of? Surely there was no contraption like that anywhere near the farming villages, if not in the world. What could it even be? Had she been captured or something of that sort? Although hidden beneath her cloak, her tail bristled at the thought.

Confused and angry as she might be, she had to at least try and remain calm to figure her situation out. Thankfully, she managed to find some answers within the odd box that had been in the pod with her. While she hasn't learned to write, she can at least read somewhat. Which led to her trying to turn the video phone on, to moderate success. She's holding it upside-down and occasionally taps the screen, but at least you can see the hooded young woman.]

I have been led to believe that there is some way to communicate using this...device. [She's not quite sure what to call it. Surely it must work via some kind of magic. She also shakes the phone for good measure.]

I am in need of further explanation about this place if possible. Can anyone even see this? [She sounds pretty doubtful of that. If this is some kind of joke, someone's going to pay. She prods at the phone a few more times before unintentionally shutting it off.]

[Action]

[After her more or less successful video broadcast, Holo makes her way out of the cavern. Aaaaaand what.

What is all this? She'd thought the phone was complicated. What's with all the technology? So for a while, she can be found around the magazine stand looking pretty flabbergasted. She also may or may not glare at the hologram after having tried to touch it. What devilry is this?!]

I-I hope I did this correctly... H-Hello, my name is Wendy. Um... Has anyone seen a white cat wearing a dress and a ribbon on her tail? She was with me before I ended up in this world.

[Having been to another world with her friends before, it's safe to assume they may have ended up here, too.

On that note—]

Ah, if anyone has this symbol [She adjusts the video phone so that the camera's pointed at her blue Fairy Tail Guild stamp.] somewhere on them, please let me know.

[She's already rather nervous; it'd be even worse if she found out she was the only one from Earth Land here.]

O-Other than that... Is there anything else I should know that wasn't already covered?

[Bows her head.]

Thank you very much!
