So if I'm a slime monster now does that mean I'm a lvl 1 tutorial monster for everyone to try and defeat or can a slime be the main character??

 [The boy on screen appears to be writing in a journal: He is holding a pencil and occasionally moves it as if to write something. That “something” being a list of life goals. It’s also quite short, which is why Shi looks so troubled.]

I’ve been in Genessia for a long time now. I have a job and I make pretty good money, and I have a place to live and food to eat...

Is that it? Is that all people do with their lives? I mean... All I wanted before was to not be cold or hungry anymore, and I have those things now... I don’t know where to go from here. A good Kami is supposed to get their own shrine and have followers and stuff, but I’m an evil and terrible Kami...

What kinds of things do humans do with their lives? Are there normal human hobbies? How do you get best friends? Can Kami have hobbies and best friends, or would that be bad of me? Do humans really only live to pay rent and eat food? I’m grateful for those things,  but for some reason... I’m not happy. Maybe I’m just ungrateful and bad.

[she stands with her fingers laced in front of her and a cool expression]

It occurs to me that there are many... arrivals to this city who have businesses and organizations with no idea how to operate the financial side of things. To that end I offer my services to at least put you in a direction where you can manage your own at a basic level, though I am willing to do consultation on a semi-permanent basis.

Also personal finances, if that's required, but don't expect me to be kind. Money isn't, nor is the world.

[but she will try to help figure out what others want and how to get it]

No music based interests need inquire. I will have no part of that. Gracias.

Please let me know at any time.


Otherwise, I am looking for a woman named Faye. Is there anyone who might know or know how to get into contact with her? I would appreciate it.

The extensive list of bounties each week has been making an unfortunate impression on my feeling of security. The rate of violent crime in the newspaper has been unsettlingly consistent since I arrived here.

I would like to hire a private bodyguard for the rest of the week. I have the funds necessary. Please apply promptly and I will waste no time with a background check, hiring, and delivery of payment. I would like to have someone working for me by noon tomorrow. This will be a trial, as my job is busy and I require a good fit that will not frighten my fanbase. 

Thank you for your cooperation.

[action / nova city]

[All of this has been sparked by the recent bounty "Hard Drive Harvest," where someone has been stealing hard drives from androids in Nova. Unfortunately, Ai works in Nova. He has no comment on the un/fortunace of himself being an android (though, he doesn't broadcast that fact.) 

Usually, Ai is calm and level-headed when he's traveling between jobs. He likes the alone time and uses the walks or bus rides to listen to his music. But with that bounty out, he's more jumpy than unusual. Rather than ignore people who stare too much or get too close, Ai bluntly addresses them today. Not fearfully, persay, but definitely with some caution.]

What do you want? [You're not going to hurt him, are you?]

[As the video starts, you can see Rotom in The Bay's entrance. From the looks of it, he seemed to put his camera somewhere flat again as he is unable to record itself or use the network with it's possessed Pokedex.]

Alola! I just want to let anyone know that I'm now working at the Pokespa and Daycare as a Pokemon Sitter. It might be strange for me to take this job as a Rotom, but with my Pokedex data, I hope I can aid the other sitters in taking care of the Pokemon.

Speaking of which, I'm also looking for some Pokemon I need for my Pokedex data. If anyone wants to know more about their Pokemon, just meet me at The Bay or contact me!

[Rika can be seen standing in front of her new store in Attleton: A sign behind her reads "The Game Garden," while the overabundance of plants and game posters around the stores give a clear indication of what this business is like. Once she's sure the store is visible behind her, Rika waves to the camera.]

Good afternoon, everyone! This is Rika Furude speaking. I am here to announce the opening of my new store, you see~! It is called "The Game Garden," and we will be selling as well as demonstrating board and card games. There will be many games set up for you to try today, so please stop by! We even sell coffee and tea, and cute, fluffy pastries, so you can stay and play. Let us have lots of fun from now on! Yay~!

[action : The Game Garden]

[There is a private garden in the back of the store, where Rika has set up simple games to try. In particular, she's set up cutesy games like Hungry Hungry Hippos and Snakes n' Ladders: Things that are quick to learn and can be played easily with strangers. Whenever someone checks out a table, Rika will pop by to explain the game and offer to play with them.

Rika is also tending a table where she is demonstrating simple card games with a plain deck of 52 cards. Whenever someone passes by, she performs some deck shuffling tricks to get their attention.]

Mii~! Do you know many card games, stranger? A simple deck of cards is good for many, maany card games!

[ ooc note: Haga is also working here, and will be replying to the action threads! Don't be surprised~! ]

[It was just an ordinary lazy day for Anastasia when she finally shows her face on the network. Well, she has her reasons for wanting...or rather, needing to stay indoors.

Though it looks like she just finished her daily chores. She looks almost ready for a nap.]

So... I have, probably, a strange question... Has anyone ever gotten this really strong desire for something...? Like, wanting to eat something you don't usually eat?

I really want some tomato soup and a certain kind of bread to go with it. I can't remember the kind of bread... I want to go shopping for some, but I don't know if it's safe for me with that gang war going on, as said in the newspaper...

But, I digress... Has anyone ever had cravings like that?

[Hello Genessia! You are getting a video feed from a tall girl with large eyes and cute expression on her face!]

Well, what's all this now? Emerging from a cocoon, given money and a trinket, a network to communicate with others... What anime plot is this, this time? I thought I had all my anime references up to date.

Oh, wait, maybe this is an MMO setting. I can't keep up with those! There's like, a new one every three days... I can't keep track of that... [She says the last bit almost to herself]

But OK. This is Pipimi and I'm ready for this MMO deal. Where's the nearest guild so I can start owning every single one of you? I'll give it about... a month before I'm top level. That is, if I'm not taken somewhere else before that. Such is the nature of the Pipimi, you know? I can be here in one moment and gone in the next!

[She chuckles and waves before ending the feed.]

Locked to Ryuji;

[Futaba has been feeling pretty bummed since hearing about Mimi leaving. It's been pretty hard on her, but she's sure that Ryuji is taking it even harder. Glancing at the phone charm that was given to her by Mimi for her birthday, she let out a sigh. It wasn't much longer that she went to text him.]

Hey, are you busy? It's been a while since we've last hung out so, I thought we'd do something together or something.

[More-or-less because of Mimi leaving of course, but she's not going to say that.]

Locked to Ann;

[Right after texting Ryuji, she sent one to Ann next.]

Uhm, hey. So with prom coming up and... Mimi was really into it... I need something to wear. Normally I'd stay home for something like this, but... Mimi was really happy when she finally pushed me to say I'd go. I know she's gone now and there's nothing keeping me to my word, but... I feel like I should still go because of her.

So, do you think you can help me find a dress? I mean.... I... don't want to go by myself. [Her anxiety and all of that fun stuff.] I'd really appreciate it if you could.

Locked to Seth;

[And since she's going to prom in Mimi's memory -- since she literally begged her to come -- that meant she needed a date. Good thing she has a boyfriend and doesn't have to worry about finding a date, but god she didn't want to. She knew he'd tease her for it, but may as well address the elephant in the room.]

Uhm... Are you busy on the 19th? I.. uhm... I promised a friend that I'd go to her event and.... I need a date...

[She'll leave it at that; and to a text no less. She knew he was going to tease her for it, so she opted out of a video or a call and went for a text instead.]

Locked to Sombra;

[With the event a while back when Easter came around, Futaba was.... also affected. Although, her personality didn't change like some of her friends. Instead, she woke up in a different body completely one day. With some digging in her new digs as well as her new temporary room, it wasn't too hard to figure out who she was posing as.

Or rather, she didn't know their name, but rather an alias. With some hacking -- and man was it a lot more tricky -- and some digging, she eventually came to the conclusion that it was the other hacker that she knew here. It made sense once she looked into things, because quite frankly, it wasn't hard to hack into most things in particular at her skill level. This go around was much more complex and overall more protective. It was clear that whomever this was, they knew what they were doing.

Sombra. The one she spoke to about forming an alliance at one point. This was certainly a strange situation. She could have called her out ages ago, but she chose not to. More so because she was also a hacker; she knew secrecy and privacy was extremely important and she wouldn't put someone else in a tight spot when she knew what would happen. How did you call someone out from hiding while remaining inconspicuous though? She could send out a message as Alibaba...?

So soon enough, a message is sent on the comms. Hopefully she'll respond back. If not, well, Futaba knew what she looked like now.]

OPEN TO EVERYONE;

[On everyone's phones -- though normally most people would see it anyways -- will pop up a strange icon interrupting anything that you're doing at the moment. Were you in the middle of playing a phone game or calling someone? Well, doesn't matter now, because instead you're going to get a message from someone who's voice has obviously been altered.]

My, My. You all seem to be the sharing type; Not that I mind. What's that saying again?

Sharing is caring?

So let's play a little game, shall we, Genessia. [Hopefully a cue there.] How about we all share something about ourselves that you wouldn't normally say out loud. Don't worry, you can send it through anonymous text if you're not brave enough to say it.

Let me start.

I believe UFOs truly exist. [Sort of.] Now it's your turn.

You have an hour. Clocks ticking, Genessia.

[And with that, you'll return to whatever you were doing. Sorry about that game you lost though. And there's a time limit? Don't worry. She's not seriously going to do anything to you. It's just a small prank and at most, a way to call Sombra out without being obvious. What happens in that hour that you don't submit something? Nothing dire. You'll just be locked out of your phone for about 10 minutes.]

[OOC: Most of these are locked to certain characters, but I had quite a few, so I just wanted to do it in a catch-all. If anyone is interested in anything with Futaba, feel free to make your own prompt and I well go with it! <3]

[ action | various prompts ]

[ Even though it's been about a week since she saved Uai from himself, he still did quite a number on her since she hadn't anticipated using anywhere near that amount of energy just to heal herself. She definitely took her omnipotence for granted, that much is for certain, and to be separated from it was... humbling, to say the least. The angel believed she had gotten used to being without a large array of her abilities, but that day made her realize just how unused she is to not having the full scale of her abilities. And that was unsettling. What if Genessia needed her when she was at her all powerful and she couldn't deliver?

...The angel would cross that bridge when it presented itself, she supposes.

It's already established that Sertoria doesn't need to eat, drink, or sleep, however it seems like she's been doing a lot of that over the past few days with the only exception to the rule being sleeping. There's always a piece of food with her along with something to wash it down, which can definitely be seen as strange. She doesn't eat, though, when she's busy with a patient, though, or when she's helping someone with something in the hospital. When there's downtime, though? She's gratefully taking some bites of the granola bar in her pocket or the apple she's been saving.

When she's out of the hospital, she seems to be doing rather well, but still seems to be munching on whatever she can get her hands on. It seems like she has a few snacks in a bag at her side, honestly finding this eating thing to be quite tiresome once she's gotten accustomed to it. How do her beloved humans keep doing this multiple times each day?

The moment she's home is when she'll finally give herself time to relax. She's sitting down in the kitchen, allowing a small sigh to come forth from her lips. The angel knows she's tired, that much is for certain, but there's still work to be done. And, furthermore, she doesn't want to worry her friends here. Beyond her using a great portion of her energy, she's fine. She can still soldier on like the good angel that she's used to being. She can still work.

But, maybe it wouldn't be too out there to want to take some time for herself, right? Maybe if Genessia, too, was that utopia she sought... ]

[ anon | text ]

For those who require sustenance to survive, how do you do it every day? It's a new experience for me and admittedly, I'm having quite the difficult time of it.

[ None of this whole being in a pod in a strange new place bit is phasing Neptune. It's just another game opener right, the opening credits should roll any second now. ]

[ Video ]

I'm gonna be short and to the point, where can I find pudding, and I guess what's the backstory for this place or is there like a villain that's the big bad that I have to fight or something?
