I ✿ ACTION ✿ Return

Huh?

[ It's weird to wake up there again. The place is familiar but it's not the one where Anna thought she'd wake up after thinking she'd surprise Elsa by going to the Dream Docks. ...Right, she never made it there and now she may have been away for who knows how long instead of sleeping only a few days. But she has new memories from home too, so at least there's that? She gets up, still looking surprised to wake up here while she also skips reading through everything that they give to newcomers... Though checks if the hologram has been updated at all and grabs some ads from the stands. She'd need a new job unless she could return to her old ones.]

So many jobs to choose from again... Also you just couldn't wait until spring to bring me back, not that this is anywhere near cold compared to winter in Arendelle but...

[And her random rambling goes on and on from a girl in a sunflowery summer dress, while she checks her new device to see if there's any sign of Elsa still being here. Nope. Still not going to give up on that though, not before she's totally sure!]


II ✿ ACTION ✿ Fayren

[First things first! Anna checks what used to be the sisters' apartment at Oak Gardens to see if Elsa's still there or around at all. Nope, doesn't live there anymore, anyone including her could move in to that same apartment... Unfortunately Anna doesn't have a job or even an idea for a job yet, so she skips that at least for now.

But while she is in Fayren, she might as well take a look around. It's a beautiful city full of magic, what's not to love there? Not that Anna's magical herself but friendly magic is always exciting to her! New places? New people, new things, she figures she might find all of those as she has been away for a ... while since she suddenly left in September. Instead of looking lost, she looks way too curious about everything.]


III ✿ VIDEO ✿

[ Apparently she's in a cafe with a marshmallow hot chocolate waiting for her hair to be done first when she decided to send this. Hi, it's that girl from Arendelle, possibly again if you've seen her before.]

Elsa, if you're still around and I just haven't found you for some reason but you see this, well then I'm sure you'll say something even without me asking you to say something. [Unless she'd be from earlier now when Anna is from the future...] Also yeah, I figured she's much more likely not around anymore but if I don't start this with a message to her, then I'll just feel like the worst sister ever.

But this isn't only about her, so hello! [ Anna waves before she unties her hair from the bun and starts putting it on braided pigtails. There's a friendly smile on her face, she looks as cheerful as ever.]

My name's Anna, I remember being here before and I just returned today after leaving sometime in... September, I think. Wow, that feels like a long time ago and then it also doesn't because so much happened while I was home. Preeeeetty sure I'm now at the same point of time where Elsa was from when she woke up here, last time I was from before we even met on her coronation day, now that also feels like that was forever ago.

Though... [Anna frowns, not really good at keeping a serious face there.] I'm not sure if it's a very good idea to bring a chocoholic here when it's clearly going to be Valentine's Day soon! [Back to her friendly face, she grins and gives a laugh.] Not that I'm complaining but wow, nce timing. Not that Arendelle really has any traditions for it, I mean not that I know of but I wouldn't really know since I didn't happen to talk with people about those in summer.

So what are you going to do for that day? Curious girl wants to know! I don't have any plans for it myself, at least not yet considering I just got here and everything. Or we can talk about anything else too, like how are you or do you like living here or whatever?!


IV ✿ ACTION ✿ Shopping

[No kidding when she says that it's not as cold as winter in Arendelle but it's still not a very good weather or temperature for wearing a summer dress. So Anna's going around different clothing stores in Genessia and Fayren ... aaaand making a dork of herself while she's there because she keeps posing in her new cloth options to any nearby mirrors. Sometimes she's singing, mostly she's rambling to herself.

Yes, she's alone, no she's possibly still not used to people even noticing that she exists or at least paying any attention to her doings. Nope, she doesn't really stop whenever she goes to a fitting room with some shirts or skirts or dresses either though she's looking at a lot of the outdoor clothing outside of them too.]

🌸 A [Video] Phone Fumbling

---

H...hello? [This is just a small video to one or two people, as far as Olivia knows. She's wearing a pleasant enough smile on her face at least. Little does she know that his is a broadcast to everyone in existence. What a wonderful start.]

It seems like I've found myself here with a bunch of others... I was hoping, maybe... to hear if anyone else from my world was here? If anyone's heard of Ylisse or even Ferox m-maybe there's a chance we know each other? My name's Olivia. I listened to the message left by the lady named Weiss but... [It's dangerous to go alone, someone adopt a dancer?]


🌸 B [Action] A Watery Grave

---

[For as scary and disorienting as this was, Olivia was doing a good job keeping herself as calm as possible. For her, at least. After her somewhat stressful video conversations, she's walking along the street near the bay, phone clutched tightly in her hands with her redbills and key at the same time. Unfortunately, she's feeling particularly jumpy, which is honestly fair considering the circumstances she's found herself in.

In order to avoid getting knocked over by some kid on a floating skateboard, she steps backward, muttering an apology. At the same time however, she slams into someone behind her, resulting in a loud shriek. She spins, her grip on her phone and other materials slipping, all of it flying from her hands to, well, unfortunately land in the nearby fountain. Good bye phone.]

S-sorry! Please, I didn't mean to! [like she expects whoever it is she's just run into to yell at her for it. .... Go on, yell at her, be angry. Maybe she made you spill something? She'll cry. Or run away.]

Video

[Asami is dressed up in a neat, but comfortable business clothes, as she does the video on her lunch hour at work, hit by inspiration.]

How many here drive cars or other motorized vehicles? I've been wanting to hold a race for a while, to test how fast the machines here can go. It would just be more interesting as a race. A whole event just for racing with motorized vehicles of different kind.

Of course, it would be nice to help a cause by donating any profits gained from an event like this.

And nothing says there can't be a category for other types of racing as well. Horseback riding or running, bicycles, air balloons... whatever you can come up with.

Let me know if you're interested.

Action

[Throughout the day after work, Asami is either window shopping or actually shopping in Nova City, finding parts for her own little projects and also comparing prizes. Of course, she'll also need to go grocery shopping, too, before heading home... but she's likely going to be at it a while, in different kinds of high tech part shops.

Or vehicle shops. Those work too.]

Action - Genessia (streets, Welcoming Center, Commonspace)

[So. This wasn't a Rayshift. At least, not a normal one. Bedivere had been completely unable to get in contact with anyone from Chaldea, be it Dr. Roman, da Vinci, or his Master. This left him with a knot in his stomach. Sure, this place seemed nice enough, but he was needed somewhere else. At least no one on the streets was bothering him.

But, for the time being, Bedivere finds himself shoving his concerns to the back of his mind. Right now, he needs to gather information and find out where he'll be staying for the next month. As a result, a handsome though slightly androgynous-looking knight clad in his full armor and with a silver artificial arm can be seen walking along the sidewalks in Genessia, first from the Bay to the Schnee Company Welcoming Center, then from there to the Genessia Commonspace, where he'll check into his apartment.

You are free to catch him at any point during this.]

[Video]

[The feed shows a new face, one who appears to be wearing armor and whose right shoulder appears to be artificial. Behind him is one of the plain walls of a studio apartment in the Genessia Commonspace.]

Please pardon me; I am a new arrival here. As in, I've been here a mere two hours. I ask, are there any current events I should be aware of? I have yet to catch wind of any news, and I would like to know if there is anything I should seek out -- or conversely, avoid.

Also...recommendations of places to eat would be greatly appreciated.

[As a Servant, he may not need food to survive, but the psychological effects of it still work just fine. And he might feel less uneasy after having something good to eat. He'll probably take it easy for the rest of the evening, then start looking for a job in the morning.]

I thank you for your time.

[The feed closes.]

 [those rumors though.

Satou has to address them. Calmly, smoothly, and without digging her own grave:]

I-I'm not having secret love affairs! I would never keep secrets of that degree! I would be really super open, okay? Love isn't something to be ashamed of anyway, right?

Mr Dante, Ms Hikaru, please don't fire me for having gained a weird reputation! It wasn't a secret love affair! It's just sparring and making cake and playing video games! I'm not a bad girl, I promise!

Also, hi Ms Elsa. I haven't met you yet. Let's be friends.

Attleton may not have a beach but thanks to its determined mayor, it has recently gained one very important feature no beach town should have to do without: It has a boardwalk.

And what a magnificent boardwalk it is! It is made of wood and properly raised to protect the tender feet of strolling visitors from all that non-existent water. Openings for stores and restaurants line the boardwalk, but today they are taking the backseat while a different event has sprawled over all that open space. Large banners and signs everywhere welcome visitors to the Attleton Neighborhood Watch's Fundraiser Fair - celebrate Attleton and support the Neighborhood Watch!

A large number of booths is crowding the boardwalk, and since there is no actual beach on either side of it, the festivities are sprawling out from the boardwalk proper into the surrounding landscape.

Before you even climb the stairs of the walkway to the boardwalk proper, you will be passing by archery and fire magic displays, which had to be put at a distance from the other activities to ensure everyone's safety, while on the boardwalk itself tables have been set up at which you can buy Attleton's famous apple pie or lovingly crocheted lace doilies. Maybe you would rather try your luck throwing rings or knocking down tin cans with balls? Small prizes of toys and Attleton souveniers await the lucky winners.

Even other towns are represented, impressive displays by the Nova City Museum and Planetarium will provide for those who hunger more for scientific knowledge than snacks, while Fayren's famous Fairy Tail is wowing the crowd with their illusion magic.

A small merry-go-round has drawn a crowd of children eager for their turn, while more are gathered by the Guardian Office's stall - a cleared area where a dozen or so pokemon frolic around and some even let themselves be petted with long-suffering patience. But if you're looking for petting, nothing beats the Puppy Prison's contribution just a little further along - more puppies than in your wildest dreams, cuter than you can believe.


[OOC: Feel free to make a top-level for your booth/stall/activity - even if you didn't respond to Cassian's volunteers wanted post, you can just go ahead and handwave that they volunteered. Or make a top-level as a visitor to the fair, and tag other people. Basically, just go wild with this and have fun! (And donate generously to the Neighborhood Watch!)]

This is Elsa. I have no memory of ever leaving here, but I guess I should believe I did, after waking up at the Bay once again.

[At least this time she isn't sneezing tiny snowmen into existence.]

That and the year is... different. It's slightly concerning to have lost two years of time in between without even knowing it myself.

Who all are still here? I would love to hear about what's been going on while I was away. Do I dare to ask if Anna is still around?

[VIDEO-OTA]
[Though she’s finally fairly well established and has found herself work and a home, she can’t help but deny she’s missing something. She loves her new apartment, and she’s entirely capable of cooking for herself, but… more nights than she’s willing to let herself admit, she finds that it’s far too quiet for her comfort now that her little roommate has grown back up.

Unlike her younger self, however, Dove is unashamed of admitting this weakness at least, and is more than adept at using her phone device at just the right angle. There’s a video feed late one afternoon, and a bright, disarming smile to accompany it.]

Hello! I’m Dove. I know I haven’t met many of you yet, but I was wondering if anyone would like to go to dinner tonight?

[There’s a bright flush to her cheeks, but her smile is steady and practiced; she’s used to this sort of thing, mostly, but… she might have also just realized she’s invited the entirety of Genessia on what sounds like a date. Really, she just wants a dinner buddy!

At least it’ll keep her busy for a while, and she won’t slip further into loneliness.]

[ACTION]
[Anna wakes up confused and worried when she finds herself in a new place, that she has never seen anywhere back home before. Wait, what? Iiiiis this some kind of a new coronation day game? Is this even coronation day anymore?? How long has she been sleeping?? Is this even Arendelle anymore?? It could be now when the gates are open, it's not like Anna knows what's behind them. She looks at the new things she has with her, then she looks around like she is trying to see if anyone else is here.]

Elsa?! [Haha, right. There's no door between her and anything, why would her sister be here then? Unless someone got her too... What if Anna is kidnapped during the first time when they open the gate after all those years? Well then, no wonder they have been keeping them locked... Right, okay, apparently she isn't locked into this space or anything, she's free to walk around and that's what she also ends up doing. So there is one girl in a black and green dress walking out of the waking place right now. Anna looks worried at first and then amazed as soon as she sees any of her new surroundings.]

Okay, Anna, maybe you should go back to sleep and wake up from this [she pinches herself when the hologram stops speaking.] owww, not a dream! Where do I even start??

[VIDEO]
[First there's a really quick view of Anna's confused face upside down on the screen, she says "no" and starts flipping her new device around only to end up dropping it... be right back!

She returns soon and this time she's not upside down anymore. Not that she'd have any problem with that but she's not sure if she can say the same about anyone, who might see this.]

Wooooooooow, if singing a song and bumping into something at the end of it opens gates to places like this then I should do that more often!

Ummm... Hello! My name is Anna, I'm from a place called Arendelle and I'm totally new here. We don't have anything like this... device back home, I wish we had though because if even just one person can see this then that would be great back there too. Mostly I'm just hoping I'm doing this right and not just talking to myself-- not that that would be new at all but... If you can see this, could you say something?

So about these jobs since apparently I'll need to find one soon, not that I mind but I have no experience of anything... Can anyone do them? I mean I guess there's something for everyone but well... My only experience is singing, acting, dancing and doing crazy stuff like I could be part of a circus all around the castle back home, not sure if I'll find anything with experience like that. Besides, there are so many interesting options, how do they expext that I can choose only one??

Action (Genessia Center Arts Theater)

[After the newspaper safely arrived and Levi just happened to have a day off, he can be found cleaning the Theater very, very intensely. He's very accurate and very frustrated that they would let the place come to this! Truly a disaster.

It's also partially to vent about the current situation over guardian nominees while doing something useful. What's better than making sure the Theater is nice and clean?

If you're staring, you might be forced to help.]

Text

Genessia Center Arts Theater should be clean now. Whoever the fuck thought it was a great idea to not clean from under the seats was a fucking loser and should be ashamed of themselves.

I have now been employed at the Theater to do regular cleaning.


Also you should not vote for Reiner Braun to become a Guardian in Attleton under any circumstances.

Action

No no no no, please stop. You cannot wander around like this- put that down.

[Elsa has been awake for a while and has taken all the information she can get, but after she was ready to contact the network, she had notice little beings appearing around even here. Every time she sneezed, at least five new small snowmen.

Even now, they were lifting all sort of things up and moving them around, wondering around the place with the items they do manage to lift up and sometimes dangerously almost dropping everything.

The numbers kept increasing and Elsa's fever isn't helping her to chase them down or catch them, even if she tries to make barricades to hold them in. Unfortunately they're wise enough free each other.]

Oh- what a mess.

Video

[Elsa has no choice but to leave the little ones roam around and contact the network for help.]

Good evening. My name is Elsa and I just arrived here. I have a small pro- [A sneeze. Five new snowman babies are born and flop to the ground - except for one who stays on Elsa's shoulder.] ... my powers are a little out of control because I'm sick and I keep making these little snowmen against my own will. Unfortunately, I have no strength to catch them all alone, so if there's anyone who could-

[Another sneeze. Seven more snowmen who start trying to lift the device that makes the hologram.] ... assist me on this. I am very sorry this has to happen right after I arrive. This is so embarrassing.

[She's trying to decide between voice and video for this one even if she's usually defaulting on video.]

Okay, so... Who can I punch for doing that to us? That was not how I want to watch TV...

[ And that probably sounds weird for anyone, who doesn't know her or what happened. Anna is back, yay?]


[ OOC: I can uh still make a very backdated dungeon if anyone wants to visit Arendelle o/ ]

[He hadn't seen his boss in a while, it worried him slightly and no one has said anything about him being missing, so he didn't know what was going on exactly. But he knew deep down that Loki would always be around, so it must have meant one of two things. Either he was kidnapped, which he felt was rather unlikely considering it was Loki, so that left the other option. Like Rei he must have suddenly vanished. Which sucked.

Why do people he cared about always leave? or die in some cases. It made him wonder if he had bad luck or if this world just royally sucked. He was just hoping that it won't keep happening anymore. There were just some people he knew he would get heartbroken over if they left.

As he turned on the device, it was obvious that he was a little unhappy if only for a moment.]

I haven't seen Loki in a few days and I'm worried he isn't here anymore. If that is true it means his shop might be in trouble. However, I'll be making sure that doesn't happen.

[He doesn't want this place to close or anything, so if he has to he would take over. But he knew what else he wanted to talk about he shouldn't be sad about, instead a smile appears on his lips.]

Although I was planning on doing this before that, but I was planning to start creating sweets based on people. If you don't understand what I mean. I created one recently that if you eat it it gets hotter and hotter in your mouth and I'm planning on naming it after Loki.

[He just hoped that it made sense.]

So if you want one created based on someone you know that is still here or left, let me know and give me a basic idea on who they are, so I can come up with ideas.

Who: Armin and Anna
What: a gift, a kiss, and a date
Where: Anna's apartment, and wherever the date takes them
When: Christmas Eve, and Valentine's Day
Warnings: None so far!

( Christmas Eve )


( Valentine's Day )

[Nagisa was as chipper as ever. He had some news and he couldn't help but want to share it to the world. As he managed to switch on the feed, his smile was widening a little more with each second.]

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas~ I thought I would let everyone know that the calenders are done and out and the money will go to the swim club. Buuuuut...

[He gives a pause, if someone were to play close attention they would be able to hear barking in the background. It wasn't long until he was looking over for a brief moment a brief look of panick sweeps over him as he quickly moves away from the device to deal with something, which could be heard in the background.]

He-Hey! Don't chew on that?! Rei-chan will get mad!

[There appeared to be things getting knocked over before Nagisa came back with a cute little golden labrador puppy in his arms. Once he sat down, trying his best to keep the puppy from running off he speaks once more.]

I also got a puppy~! A girl, whom I actually have yet to name. But look how adorable she is~

[He holds her up to the device as she just wriggles briefly before he holds her back.]

I think that was all I wanted to say... Well except for one question. How does one stop a puppy from ripping and chewing things that they shouldn't?

[ W h y do awful things like this always happen to her?!

Stop, Chiyo, think. Imagine Nozaki-kun, appearing and rescuing you! Maybe he's in armor? No-- that's too weird, just imagine him in his school uniform. Scooping her up like he did the first day they met---


When the video feed starts, she's still thinking about it, so you'll have to excuse her flushed face, Genessia.]

H-hello! This is Chiyo Sakura, I think I understand what's going on, I just wanted to introduce myself properly! I hope we can all get along!


Does anyone have any recommendations of where I should start?

[Wherever Anna is, she's in the company of a huge bowl of ice cream. How is the princess going to eat all that and the toppings on it is a mystery, but she's here with a bigger problem today!]

Someone gave me this ice cream parfait, or whatever I'm supposed to call it. Everything tastes amazing, but -- [and now she sounds a little unsure;] I also got a weird message along with it and the person, who gave this to me disappeared, so I can't ask them... So I was hoping someone there might figure it out?

[And she turns the device to show a much tinier version of this (also there's no Olaf on this, sorry snowman) and keeps the screen showing those letters on the table.]

... I guess, since I can move these letters around, that the original message might have been something else? But I have no idea what it could be! [innocent honesty right there, people, she really has no clue.] So please help?

Or is that some kind of a weird accessory? I mean I guess it could be a name for an accessory for children's party or something. Or does it actually mean something without moving the letters around, ummm?


[OOC: Stealing stuff from Frozen Fever (with help from npcs, or if anyone wants their character to be responsible, feel free); it's actually supposed to read HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANNA!! so feel free to figure it out fast. Because yes, today is her birthday and a girl, who has spent so many birthdays alone had to get a post out on her own. But lmao, Anna and logical puzzles or why would Anna herself remember that today is her birthday... |: ]

[The video turns on to show a little kitten with a large pink bow sitting neatly on a hotel bed.]

Hello. Has anyone seen my ani-ue? He's a black cat with little bat wings on his back and small cross-shaped patch on his belly. His name is Nyanpire and he's gets scared easily so I need to find him as soon as possible!

Also, since Misaki-chan isn't here, I'll need to find a job so I'll have money to pay for this hotel room. Does anyone know any jobs that might be suitable for me?
