[A pale face with bright red hair appears on screen. He looks displeased and when he speaks it's in a soft, but demanding tone with a slight accent. He's dressed in a black military uniform with a heavy grey coat and stands at attention. His right gloved hand is clinched in a fist while he speaks.]

I have better places to be then here. This is ridiculous. I do not want to live a simple civilian life, working a 9-5 job. My life has always been the military.

I have work that needs to be completed.

[The video appears to be accidental in nature as Lunafreya awakens to find herself with pamphlet, a phone and a few assorted details. After readings, she takes the phone and swipes around until she finds the video function and presses more buttons.]

I believe I might be recording on accident, please bare with me a moment.

[After some frustration, Lunafreya is unable to turn it off as she is not exactly tech savvy.]

I am Lunafreya, if someone with experience could please explain the functioning of this device? I am having difficulty controlling it.

If only Prince Noctis were here, he is always with the newest gadget.

[It had been laundry day. Jaune's wearing a different outfit today. He's also blatantly wearing a red and gold bracelet on his right wrist. He knew what it would look like to other people who knew him well enough, and those are the people he's seeking to manipulate. The risks of getting caught basically stealing it are outweighed by the advantage of making his point. He might not outright physically harm his friends, but he'll do whatever he thinks is necessary to hurt the people who hurt the--him.]

Hey, it's the incompetent idiot again here to talk to you about something way more interesting and lucrative than free totes. It's always felt like that being normal is actually more unusual than being super-powered here. I'm not normal, but I'm also not capable of destroying entire cities and I won't pretend that I am.

I don't know if half of what everyone here claims is actually true, and you do have those abilities, or if you're just full of shit.

Actually, I think it might be the second option. [Shrug.] That's not my point. I need to find someone. I'm sure most of you know her, Emerald Sustrai. She's very good with words and manipulating other people. Good people, like a lot of you are. I wish that's where the threat ended, but she aided in murdering someone very important to me. I won't lie and say I won't hurt her when I find her. Think about what you would do if it happened to you, or someone you loved, except it really happened to me. She is going to burn for what she did. But I need your help.

If anyone has any information about where I can find her, I'll pay you 200 red bills upfront. But wait-- [Smirking.] If your information turns out to be useful, and you're not just lying because you're another greedy corrupted fuck, I'll reward you with 5000 red bills for your efforts. [Where would he get that much money? Nowhere legal.]

So yeah, help me find her and stuff and I won't have to cause property damage to do the right thing. I'm hoping it doesn't come to that. [He really doesn't sound like he's hoping it doesn't come to that.]

[Action (Monsters and--)]

[After that announcement, Jaune will seeking out his friends and family, visiting the places he most frequently sees them. Occasionally, he might see someone committing a crime. Instead of arresting them and waiting for the cops, he starts to beating them up, until he gets tired of it or they stop putting up a fight and he continues looking for a select few people. Hopefully no one saw that. He might accidentally run into a stranger or acquaintance, stopping in shock and frowning apologetically. He's good at pretending to care, because he remembers being able to care about strangers.]

Sorry, are you okay? [And he'll extend his hand to help them up, offering a sheepish smile.]

[Action (Heroes)]

[Overall, Jaune considers himself pretty adaptable. He's better at reacting than planning, and he doesn't let himself get stuck in a single mindset. But right now he feels stuck, and he can't pinpoint why. He just wants nothing more than to be around his friends. Looking pensive, his better half heads for Remnant House, as well as Dave and Jeff's apartment. If he sees someone else he knows on his way, he'll probably stop to talk to them.]

[This whole travesty of a video starts off accidentally after Katze drops his phone off the side of his hilariously pink bed. He had it on camera mode prior since he was too damn lazy to get up and fetch a proper mirror. For the last half n' hour he's been using his phone as a mock vanity for all his preening needs. Little does the mulberry alien notice it switched to record.

So much for staying incognito, huh? He's been hiding out since the start of fall.]

Oi, I really need to cut these bangs....! [A childish huff escapes him as he starts tugging on his bright pink bangs. The rest of his impressively long hair is gathered up in a messy bun with cute silver chopsticks in it.] Meh! It will just grow back in a week.

[To anyone watching this cretin fuss about their hair, they might be confused on whether Berg Katze is a he or a she. The space alien borderlines on either gender quite well, Especially dressed in nothing else but skimpy black lingerie.

Here's hoping the kiddies are asleep!]

Boring~! Boring~! BORING! [He whines once he start toying around with some makeup, namely this bright fuchsia lipstick he actually purchased and not steal for once.]

Neh, I need a new look! Those fancy magazine girls always look cool...

[Someone is grumpy today~]

... Them election results are a pile of horseshite, I'll tell ye that.

What's all this then, as if humans don't already have it hard enough in Everglade? I ain't pickin' up nothin' and movin' just cos some flashy snaggle toothed undead harlot runs the show.

That's an open invitation, I dare any of ye to come and boot me out, house is all ready for a big party.

[Anyway]

Speakin' of the rectory and heapin' piles of stinkin' shite, water's gone bad. I'll have to be collectin' it elsewhere now, that's more of a warnin' to any of ye who visit and don't trigger all the traps on your way in.

Tannusen.

Bracken.

Tea and coffee will be a little harder to come by, I suggest bringin' your own liquids.

The great majority of people will go on observing forms that cannot be explained; they will keep Christmas Day with Christmas gifts and Christmas benedictions; they will continue to do it; and some day suddenly wake up and discover why."

-G. K. Chesterton

[The feed opens to reveal a colorfully dressed blonde man in a quiet part of the park, snow lightly falling in an otherwise quiet winter wonderland.]

"Good morning, everyone. From speaking with a great many of you on Christmas, it seems many did not know what made that particular holiday especially holy. Let's have enlightenment; that is, scripture. Ahem.

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.

To understand that light, you must first understand the darkness preceding it. Cruelty, oppression, murder, and so on. In a word, sin, which most sensible people can find about them and, more distressingly, in them. And mankind wondered when, if ever, they'd be free of it and be able to unite once again with that light. How might man, having fallen, rise again to God?

God's answer, per usual, is very poetic. He would meet man on his own level, and condescend unto him. The Word would become flesh; God would become man, that is, Christ. The world was granted a savior, and tidings of great joy for the redemption he would bring about through his conquer of sin and death. Hah, it's almost vulgar! God descends from his heavenly abode to come into a lowly manger and meager birth. Bless him for it; who could ask for a Savior any other way?

That will do for an upshot. Thus, Christmas is a recognition for the greatest gift of all: the Son of God, and through him, the gift of salvation to all who believe in his name. A very fine gift I'd like to give to all of you. Indeed, I should like to personally baptize every one of you desperate sinners, convert you to Christianity, and see you off personally to the kingdom of heaven.

Hah, not asking for too much, I hope. Well, should any of you like to speak with me about that, I'll be glad to converse and answer questions of faith as best I can. In the meantime, Merry Christmas everyone. May you all come to light and life."


[Action]
[Ted will go around in both gay apparel and manner, blood aflame with the true meaning of Christmas, preaching much the same to every city in Genessia. He lacks both a soapbox and a signboard, but he'll spread the gospel anyway for about an hour for every one. Everglade gets two, for obvious reasons. If you want to meet him in a 3D context, you know who to look for.]

[It's obvious that someone is recording, as there's background noise. The wind, mostly, as it whips around. After a few moments of this, a voice breaks the silence.]

...I think I missed my own birthday.

[Grell sounds weary, and who wouldn't after transforming between being a harpy and herself for almost two weeks.]

And everything tastes like fish.

[What a weird two weeks...]

Who: Bracken, Katze
What: Home sweet home
Where: Fayren Forest
When: Around the 28th

( It had been a long time coming, but Bracken finally had a home. )

[Action - Genessia City]

[So what's the best way to clear your head after causing chaos and destruction? Shopping! That's right.

Instead of trying to lay low after that not-so-little incident in Nova City last month, Berg Katze is actually wandering around Genessia incognito in a pair of thick black sunglasses, his usual tailored blue suit and a yellow scarf around his neck he's using to conceal his face. He could've easily just turned invisible as he window shops but he's currently hanging out with Bracken. That's right. Bracken and Katze are having a date here in Genessia City and currently the 7ft tall alien is eyeing the window of this particular dress shop.]

Eh, I kinda like it.

[Katze mutters as he presses his face up against the glass. There's a really cute white and black dress with a little bow that caught his eye. It reminds him loosely of the dress he wore when he was causing trouble in Tachikawa City. Talk about the good old days! Rui, the poor sap who's identity he stolen, had a wide variety of outfits to wear. He always wanted to have a nice big closet of clothes before but never had time to indulge.]

It's probably expensive. [He huffs.] But there's something called the 'five fingered discount'.

[The alien snickers evilly. He's plotting on stealing the dress.]

Hello, ladies and germs! o((*^▽^*))o

I have a question to ask~! It's a fashion related one too! So don't you dare think of answering it if your ass has no style. People who lack style should die! 凸ಠ益ಠ)凸

I want look super cute and sweet but I don't know what to buy.o(^∀^*)o Most dresses are very short on me since I'm super tall and sometimes jeans are just too big. You earthling people are pretty fat, so it's super hard to shop for clothes.

So, what sort of clothes should I get? Nothing red, okay!? I hate that color.

Fascinating~

[The feed opens with a man wearing an obviously foreign yet well-cut suit. Taking a quick look around, he regard the camera briefly before raising it up and moving it to pan the horizon, the setting being Genessia City. Lowering it, he looks into it with a minor tilt of his head.]

Though, likely not for most of you. I found Miss Schnee's explanation hologram thrilling, and wouldn't mind a more intimate discussion with her, given she seems an industrious lady. Ah, though, manners.

[Moving a hand to his left breast, he inclines his head and offers a winning smile for the camera before pushing the bridge of his glasses up.]

Forgive me for the error; I am Arro Caine, at your service. Newly arrived here in this place, and while I would like to enjoy the sights; I do see this is a fine opportunity to mingle among other travelers from even more exotic places than this. I also might inquire to employment.

[This time, the man touches the arm of his glasses as he leans in to observe the camera a bit more seriously, and if one didn't know better, his eyes might almost glow in the faint shadows.]

I am very qualified for medical, scientific, or even teaching work. Alas, my Doctorates did not arrive with me, but I am more than happy field any questions necessary, so please; put me to the test. Though--

[He leans away from the camera now with a wistful smile, moving to take a seat and pointing the camera away from him to watch the sun crawl across the sky.]

--Instead, perhaps someone might join me and watch the clouds as well. It's a new day, and a new place. While that again may not be true for many of you; I would like just a moment to enjoy a simple pleasure with a like mind--[A sigh]--Life always seems so fleeting to not take a moment sometimes.

Who: 'Airy' (Berg Katze) & You
What: What happens when a chaos loving alien decides to raise hell by creating candy-themed monsters around the neighborhood? Well, this happens. Still posing as 'Airy', Katze's childlike fondness for candy has created quite a mess in Nova City.
Where: Nova City
When: September 15th
Warnings: Minor violence and cussing!

If anyone is wondering why there's chocolate doves flying about and jellybean squirrels running throughout the park, that's because Katze's imagination as literally gone wild. Thanks to Airy's nifty powers for making the impossible possible, Katze is here chomping away on one of the chocolatey wildlife while conjuring up more things to create. It already rained chocolate strawberries earlier and showered chocolate chip cookies but now Katze is just creating random crap.

There's these nasty two-legged ninja watermelons wandering about trying to stab at helpless civilians with kitchen knives and angry white chocolate bunnies armed with explosives filled with black licorice. There's even giant rock candy dinosaurs trying to tear the damn city apart and should anyone mention about the large jelybean snails with colorful lollipop shells? They almost taste like sour candy. It's starting to look like a candy filled warzone here and the local law enforcement is utterly outnumbered. Katze can be found amongst the chaos frolicking about as 'she' gorges out on candy.

"Maybe I should think of some ice cream too!" 'Airy' mutters as she bites the ears off one of the white chocolate bunnies. She completely devours the creature and continues along her merrily little way while her candy minions cause trouble. "Yeah, ice cream would go great with all these goodies but not with watermelon!" That wouldn't be tasty at all.


(ooc: sorry for the late start! Life happened but here we are! Feel free to go after Katze and his candy friends.

Also, feel free to make up your own scenarios and do your own threads with friends. It's pretty much your character versus an army of candy beasts!)

[Hear that sadistic charismatic crackle in the background as the feed slowly loads in? That's none other than Berg Katze up to his or rather...'her' up to her usual shenanigans. Guess who just got a new hairstyle and 'body' to go along with it?]

I HAVE BOOBIES NOW!

[Says Katze, no wait. Isn't that Airy? That's definitely Airy, right? How come she sounds exactly like Katze? And how come Airy is dressed so scantily clad in this rather sexy black and pink latex dress with a cute black bow on it? That is definitely not something Airy would ever wear.

...Right?]

This is so much fun! They keep going 'boing, boing, boing!' [Of course this jackass would demonstrate the 'sound effect' by actually doing it as she plays with her breasts. Very lewd. So very lewd.]

...Oh yeah! I almost forgot this was on. [Dear gods, there's children watching this? Yep, totally.] I have some really cool powers now too! I can make bubbles appear everywhere!

[Here comes another demonstration, a less lewd one. Out of nowhere, Katze suddenly makes a dozen or so bubbles appear out of thin air with just a flick of her hand. She grins into the camera happily before making a few more multi-colored translucent bubbles spring out of nowhere.]

Mwhahaha! I can do this all day and then some~

[Please stop this idiot.]

( ooc notes )

Drumroll, please~!

[The feed pops on and the first thing you see is Katze's brightly colored self looking quite modest for once in a simple white blouse, denim shorts and opaque stockings. He's not wearing any shoes since he's lounging on the bed but there's a pair of shockingly red heels seated inelegantly in the far right. Katze is a little sloppy at times and it shows since there's clothes strewn all over the bed, all of which are his.]

Tada! [He tries to strike a pose but he's too damn lazy to get up.] It's a me, Katzzzze~kun! Guess who got all sicky and gross.

[His voice is a little stuffy and high pitch this time around. Someone has a cold.]

Bracken and I been having happy fun times lately! It's been great minus one catch.

[He huffs a little.]

I think pink might be outta season! I need a new look. Something fresh to impress, something cool and edgy with a hint of class---

Oh! [Eureka!] I know! I'll go blonde~!

Yes, yes! Blondes have more fun, riiiggght? Bracken has fun and so Airy----

[Dramatic gasp!]

Airy-chan~ [He calls for her over the network like some lunatic fairy.] You should stop by today!

I want to try a new look and I need help! Any suggestions? Don't say anything dump or I'm lighting up the joint in flames!

.ﾟ☆(ノё∀ё)ノ☆ﾟ.

[RIGHT. WELL. Finally the feed clicks on, and reveals Jarlaxle's grinning face, in all it's dark and eye patched glory, charming and debonair.]

Good day, sirs and ladies!

I cannot say I did expect such a trip this evening, but then I cannot say the sight is too terribly unwelcome, at least for the moment.

What strange world have I awoken in, I cannot say for sure, I've never been in such an odd city in all my years, but to say that is such a novelty, I cannot find enough ire to protest it.

Indeed with this, I have no idea what this device does or is, but as I can see it repeating my words and face at me, I find no immediate issue with it. I have, however, noticed that there are but yet more of you speaking through this odd device.

Please do feel free to enlighten me as to how this works.

But do allow me to introduce myself, I am Jarlaxle, and it is delightful to, indirectly at least, meet every last one of you. I do so dearly hope to truly meet you all face to face.

[The video feed clicks on to show Fet's smiling face.]

There's a lot going on here I don't understand, you know? There's a city filled with vampires and a lot of other things wanting equal rights with the people they eat. There's another place from the future, patrolled by Robocop. Then there's another with a medieval castle, ruled by a king and queen and policed by knights.

[He shrugs.]

This isn't what I know. Genessia City, a real city, you know, and Attleton, a model suburbia. They have things that are normal, things I do know. [He reaches to his neck, where a very official looking badge hangs.] My name is Vasiliy Fet. Back home, in New York, I work for the Department of Health as a pest inspector and rat catcher. You know what this place has? Rats. I went down to the employment office, you know. Looking for a job, 'cause a guy needs his own place. There's no health department here. Makes a guy wonder what the sewers look like, you know?

Well, you know what they say? It's a nasty job, but somebody's gotta do it. Might as well be somebody who likes it, right? [He smiles again.] Now, you all know who to call for your rat problems. Or your roaches, or your termites. I'll have an office, soon as I get the funding, you know? Until then. [He points to the screen as though indicating the network itself.] I'm on the line.

Alright.

[That... is a very thick Irish accent. Not to the point of being impossible to understand, but there's really no mistaking at least the birthplace of the person talking.]

Ye have me. I've not a clue as to what is happening, why it must happen to me, what I've done of late to deserve it nor how to get back, which out of all of these happens to be the most pressin' issue at hand.

I'd be askin' who's responsible for this chicanery, but I'm goin' to assume I won't get an answer, so rather I'm just goin' to inquire somethin' I know I'll get a reply for-

Do I have to wear this God awful gaudy thrift store necklace openly or can I just stick it in my pocket?

VIDEO

[Terra is sitting in her greenhouse when the video starts. Flowers climb up the back wall with buds peeking out towards the bright sunlight that filters through the misty glass. Her hair is down, falling in loose mint green curls around her shoulders. She looks thoughtful as she regards her phone.]

I have a question. It’s just something I’ve been thinking about…

…

People can't die here and hurting them doesn't make us feel better... what does it take to forgive someone? What do they need to do when they've done something really bad?

[As the video continues there is a flash of white fur before the phone falls on its front; turning the screen black.]

Howl!

[Terra’s disapproving voice echoes through the phone before the feed ends. She hopes someone might reply to her question, despite her cat’s interruption.]

ACTION: BAR

[Terra decides to take a walk to be alone with her thoughts. She spends most of her time at her flower shop and while it’s usually quite her pets or visitors have the tendency to distract her. As she makes her way through the city she starts checking out different businesses and stores. A few of them she peeks into and immediately leaves. That’s what she should have done at this bar.

The atmosphere is smoky but warm, it’s curious, and without hesitation she makes her way to the line of bar stools to take a seat. The bartender regards her seriously for a moment before ignoring her. She looks both lost and unsure; neither are traits he wants to deal with.

Terra’s gaze moves around the room. She makes eye contact with a few people staring at her though their eyes quickly dart away. It doesn’t bother her but she wonders if she looks that out of place. Her dress is red and short. It’s the closest thing to the dress she’d woken up with and her sandals were light brown. It is too hot to wear more though she’s noticed that most of the men in the bar are wearing pants instead of shorts. She can’t see how she might be out of place.

She turns back to the bartender.] Excuse me? [The soft voice does nothing to get his attention.]

RANDOM: FLOWER SHOP EMPLOYEES

[Terra has declared it employee day in her two shops. Everyone working or not will get a surprise flower delivery at their house! In it will have a small bag of candies and a little note thanking you for all of your help. Jefferson and Dave will get separate ones, despite the fact that they live together and each flower arrangement is different.]

Look at what I got!

[Don't be too alarmed by the overexcited redhead on the screen. It's late in the afternoon when this post goes live and Berg Katze looks like he's sitting on a balcony somewhere, perhaps the inn. For today's live show, he's in his usual blue tailored suit and black heels but he has a bright white apron on that he undoubtedly snatched from somewhere.]

I got a watermelon! [He pans the screen over towards the right to focus upon the large green fruit he has sitting on a towel.] And I got it for FREE thanks to the pink lady!

[He means Rose quartz.]

She told me that watermelons are great for summer and even better to share with friends and stuff. I'm not sharing mine with anyone but Bracken, so I gotta make look real nice!

[The goofy alien settles the phone down at an angle so it can keep recording him and the watermelon. People might notice the shadow of a long black chain attached to the phone now.]

Okay, so I gotta open it right? [He kneels down next to the watermelon and taps it.] Hello, Mrs. Watermelon! Won't you share your delicious fruit fruit with us?!

[Obvious this is a joke since he's snickering a little but it's slightly endearing. He places his head against the watermelon as if listening to it.]

Ah, ah! She said yes! I guess time to open it!

[Katze suddenly pauses.]

Eh, does that mean I smash it or cut it? [He hums cluelessly.] But...if I do that, won't the skin get all ruined?

I kinda don't want to just tear it apart. I mean look at it! It's so round and happy!
