[Wow, look at this girl with pink twintails on screen, she's beaming with joy and excitement about ... Everything, probably.]

Ah, hello hello~! My name is Madoka Kaname, but everyone can call me Madoka starting right now and this [stepping off of the screen herself to show a black haired girl.] is one of my best friends...

[Now when Madoka is hiding behind the device, she is encouraging Homura to speak by making cute gestures off-screen! Smiling! Looking sheepish because she has no idea what to do either! But she's silently whispering her to "say something, anything, just your name is fine too!" and whatever her thumbs up and some cheering gestures are for ... probably 'you can do it / you'll be great, Homura-chan!'. She believes in her cool girl introduction skills!! Should she apologize later for suddenly putting her up for it when Madoka could have also introduced them both? Maybe.]

[For Homura's part, she hadn't expected to be so suddenly put on the spot like this. She hadn't much to say, either, but watching Madoka's gentle encouragements does cause her cheeks to flush in a radient hue. Did... she really just call her 'cool?' Oh no, she had to say something now.

But once she's able to collect herself, she opts merely to simply bow her head politely towards the screen, in spite of her aloofness, feeling she would upset Madoka if she were not to make any attempt to reach out to their audience-- if nothing else, and speaks out clearly and directly to the camera.]

Good day, my name is Homura Akemi. I'm pleased to meet you all.

[Perhaps it's not what she wanted to say, but there's no reason to be rude.]

[Madoka looks surprised at her reaction. Huh, she's really not expecting the change of color on Homura's face at all. Did she say something weird...? Madoka's blushing and smiling too but that's normal for her. She grins at Homura's lines with a giggle and switches the thing to showing her too agan.]

Also we're looking for Sayaka Miki, Kyoko Sakura and Mami Tomoe so if they happen to be here, we'd really love to know!

Umm, we just got here and we haven't really done a network post like this before. So I have no idea what this is supposed to include and all of this is kind of lot to take in at first but that's fine! We haven't really thought about jobs yet, so that can come later once we go through that colossal list... but I'm getting the feeling that it will be hard to choose from all them. [What is she even good at doing? That's something to think about in a way that it fits employment here.]

What are your favorite places to eat here? What about some delicious places for cakes? Oh, we got keys to an apartment at El Galeón! So if there are any neighbors and they happen to see this, I hope we'll get along! That goes for everyone else too, it's nice to meet you all!

I -- I guess you can ask us anything? I'm really not sure what to say here but this seemed like a good way to say that we're here now for anyone, who doesn't happen to run into us.

♥ ACTION; around Genessia and Fayren

[Madoka keeps holding Homura's hand gently but tightly with her own. Even if she wouldn't go away this time, it's still the her current favorite way to make sure that neither of them goes anywhere alone now. Sometimes she tries to look at a map but it's more fun without it!

Walking around here and there to get to know this new place though they are only focusing on those two cities today.

And then there's shopping for their new apartment. Sailor themed bed sheets need to go as soon as they find some cute ones like rainbows! Madoka stares at all the things in kitchen departments in surprise. Come to think of it...]

Do you know how to cook? [That's technically a question to Homura but anyone can answer.]

[Not that Madoka wants to spend too much money too soon but a basic change of clothes would be great, so they can be found in clothing stores too. And food sounds like a great idea, too bad trying to find a place to eat takes time when there are so many places to choose from!]

How about this one? [Girly clothes! Or some place for eating.]


[OOC: Replies may come from both Madoka and Homura!]

Genessia, Morning
[Allen knew he never really had much time for rest between getting home and having to go out again, so he had decided on the next best thing to do was just sleep in the city like he used to do. Tent and all.

So he had found a nice little spot late at night and had simply spent the few hours asleep. It wasn't the worst experience, but he's probably had much better too. However, because of how tired he was, he woke up later than planned. Timcampy and Link Jr. were still happily asleep as the white-haired boy, slowly moved toward the tent door, unzipping it and moving to poke his head out.

It didn't take the other long to realize he overslept and so poked his head back in and quickly rushed to get ready, bounding out while trying to tie up his shoulder-length hair and nearly knocking into some poor unsuspecting person.]

Genessia, Afternoon
[Allen was sure that he had paid part of each and every loan that he was meant to have paid this month. So he then wondered why when he was alone did someone who looked big and intimidating come up to him demanding that the payment be paid off in full.]

You see... I thought we came to some kind of agreement that I would pay off 50 red bills each month. [He was pretty sure he had made arrangements with all of the people he owed the money too, but this guy seemed to think that was not the case.

No. It seems like his boss wanted him to pay fully now ad if he was unable to then there would be consequences. The giant man took another step as Allen moved back, looking behind him for a brief moment. if there was one thing Allen felt confident in it was avoiding people when it was needed... Something he felt like he learned from his Master.]

How about this. I will go get the rest of the money that I need to survive and hand it over. Will that do?

[And before he could let the guy even answer he was off like a shot, causing the other to yell his name and run after him. But Allen seemed to know what he was doing, soon finding himself a place to hide.

This was a situation that he found himself in nearly the whole day in between being able to do his job. Unaware of who was actually around to notice.]

Video - Evening/Night
[Allen yawned as the feed switched on, one hand on the device while the other was taking out a hair band, letting his hair fall back onto his shoulders. He had decided to take the evening off performing wise and just go home after the rather eventful day, but he had something he needed to ponder on.]

So I've been working a lot lately and because of that, I've realized that where I live currently probably is not the best place for me. More so since most of my work actually is in Genessia and not Fayren.

[He paused for a moment.] I am grateful if anyone can tell me about the apartments in Genessia? I don't want anything too fancy, so as basic as possible would be better. [He found himself yawning slightly as he walked.] I want to thank those who let me stay at Fairy Haven, I will owe you for being so kind. Just let me know how I can repay you. But... I do know I need to start at least trying to take better care of myself and moving closer is a good first start.

[he's just biking along, in Genessia at the moment, though he plans to hit everywhere eventually. Hooked to his bike is an ice cream cooler and a cheery little tune follows him]

It looks like school is out for the Summer. Time for rest and relaxation. [a sigh] The problem with too much free time is not having enough things to fill it. It makes me miss paperwork.

[he stops as he's swamped by a bunch of kids and doles out ice cream accordingly]

Does anyone have plans? Challenges? Something interesting to do? [he's a bit restless these days and he doesn't know why] Should I buy a houseboat? [he misses the sea. Though it's not like he can afford one] Mah... maybe the bike is fine.

[Ace is sitting outdoors, the sunshine warm on him, and his mood is very good considering the stress of the day before. And because things went so well, despite what he expected, he thinks it's time to bite the bullet and go for a new tattoo. And maybe a new piercing too.

But it's no fun if he goes alone. Especially when the large parlor he favors actually wants more business.]

So it looks like the tattoo parlor I like gives discounts for groups and parties. Who woulda guessed? So that's where all of you come in. If I get enough people interested, we all benefit. So come on, let's get inked up and then get some booze and food in us. I feel like celebrating today.

WHO: Bastien Courbis & everyone he's trying to rob
WHAT: Pirates are a dime a dozen but this one is crabbier than most and has blue scales.
WHEN: June 17th
WHERE: Genessia City. (Starts at the Bay and eventually more inland)
WARNINGS: Potential violence, possible swearing, and larceny.

( June Catch-All! )

( With Ace leading the way, he and Luffy make their way to some eatery. He's all grins despite the atrocious sense of being displaced. The fear of the fate of his crew ... maybe he can get out of this weird place soon ...

But first things first.

They're seated quickly when they get there, displaced feelings fading away in favor of raw hunger. )

Ace, you've been here before right? Do you go out with Sabo or Jinbei any?

( He kicks his feet a little, bouncing in his seat, plainly at least temporarily pleased, now that he can be with his brothers and nakama. )

( Sure, the instructions are called easy, but Luffy has always been a more hands on kind of guy, so he'll really only get it when he fiddles around with it himself. Leave the reading to Robin; he quickly disregards the information.


He manages to turn it on and then the video function after some fiddling, but the camera is zoomed in on his face a little too much. It's quite a sight. He's plainly walking ... To where, he doesn't know yet. But then he stops when he notices the thing recording. )

Okay, get off my face! Do something useful and tell me where my crew is!!

( He demands this, poking at the screen. Or ... )

Or where to eat ...

( He eventually turns the thing off after about thirty seconds of messing with it. )

[Sabo clicks on the device, propping it onto a sizeable rock with a flat, smooth surface. He then takes a few steps backward to wave into the camera. He's smiling, but there are obvious bags under his eyes. He's tired.]

Hello.

[He's so tired, in fact, that he stifles a quiet yawn before continuing.]

I remember this place. Been here before. But -- [He glances around, gesturing casually, before facing the camera again.] For seven months, I was somewhere else. And now, I'm back here. [And not home. Which is a serious problem. Reverie has to have come and gone, and he wasn't there. He has no clue what had happened during it, none at all. And that's terrifying.]

If you know me, great. If not, my name is Sabo.

[He hesitates on what to say next. Thoughts of what had happened to him in Duplicity swirl around in his mind, and his expression reads that he's not too keen on thinking about that. He tugs on the end of a glove, shifting uncomfortably.]

I'll be getting situated here shortly. Let me know if you have a job opening or a place for me to stay for the time being. I'd appreciate it.

[OOC: NSFW warning for certain discussion topics in the tags!]

[Sabo has been here before. He remembers the strange, somewhat rude awakening, and as soon as he rubs the sleep from his eyes, he moves to stand and stretch, sighing. Why is he here again? There has to be a good reason for this; at least, he truly hopes so, considering the moment he was swept from his own world. The Reverie was about to begin, after all, and he had a purpose there.

Hopefully the rest of the Revolutionary Army will be okay without him.

He fumbles with the device he'd found upon waking, trying to recall exactly how it worked from before. It's not like a Snail, it's a bit more complicated than that, so he finds himself hitting certain buttons without realizing before actually starting a recording. Then, and only then, does he smile and wave into the camera:]

Hello! I'm pretty sure I've been here before, but I know that a lot of you probably won't remember me. So, I'll introduce myself briefly once again. My name is Sabo. I'm going to need work and a place to live... sooner rather than later, obviously.

I have skills in various different fields, but I'd most likely fit well in an office or management setting. Let me know if you have an opening, please.

Question! In Genessia how does one go about setting up a potential business? I am just checking if how it's done is at all different to how it might be back home.

On another note, I am starting to take commissions for clothing for people and as a learning experience Pokemon since someone asked about that.

Private to Kyoya

I need to talk to you about a couple of things, when you have the time.

 Recently, I've acquired a razher beautiful gun from a friend~. I've been dying to try it out und I zhink tonight might just be perfect.

[When Rip comes into view she has this beautiful musket resting across her shoulders. She gently slips it into her arms and effortlessly loads the powder and shot with  ease. While doing so, she's humming gently before hefting it up and aiming at a target stuck to a tree with a knife. From the looks of it, Rip miiight just be somewhere in the Everglade. She kept humming to herself as she raised the gun, holding it with one hand as she braces her body and then fires.

A loud crack echoes through the trees as she just grins as the shot hits the target dead center and punches through the tree. That very same bullet arcs around to keep punching holes into the very same tree and zig zagging around the little grove Rip was in while she is giggling with delight. Now this.. THIS is exactly what she'd been missing! 

By the time the bullet finally stops, several trees near her might have various bullet holes in them and there might... be a few dead squirrels or other small creatures on the ground. All from one bullet.]

It's about time I had a decent gun again. Zhe Huntress has her veapon back~. 

[She just smirks into the camera before leaning in and turning it off.]

[Sabo turns on the device and sets it down in front of him on a table. He has the table positioned so that the lens can show the window, which has obviously been broken.

By something being thrown into it.

He gestures past his shoulder so everyone can see the damage.]

See that? That's what woke me up this morning.

[He has a very stern look on his face. He really didn't feel like dealing with this.

He reaches past the device and brings a mug of tea to his lips, then takes a drink.]

Come forward if you're the one who did this so you can pay for the damages.

[Seriously. Sabo just started his job, so he's not rolling in the dough or anything. He hasn't even talked to the landlord yet about this, but he wants to see if he can settle this on his own first.]

Maybe it was a misunderstanding. Maybe you didn't realize you had such a strong throw. Maybe you have it out for me.

[He chuckles and sets the mug back down.]

I'll be waiting for a response. If I don't hear anything by tomorrow, well ... I won't be nearly as forgiving.

 [Video]

*Here's a very unhappy looking Sonico, hair hastily and messily pulled up into a ponytail. There's a flush of annoyance on her cheeks too*

Whoever is going round Attleton mucking up people's homes like this - you need to stop. We are nice people just minding our own business and we don't deserve your...rudeness. Please learn some manners and find yourself a more productive hobby.

*Isn't she so threatening? As she pouts in her frustration, Sonico turns to face her home. Wait a minute - is that a giant penis on her doorway?*

[Action - Attleton]

*Sonico didn't waste any time in getting down to business. She is outside with a bucket full of hot soapy water and a scrubbing brush, various bottles of cleaner nearby for her to try. She is in her usual shorts and tshirt, scrubbing viciously as she tries to get rid of the ugly marks on the door*

[A twitchy nose with a fine set of full whiskers comes into view, along with a pair of prominent front teeth. Tilo's large, black eyes shine as he blinks a few times quickly. A small paw comes up to adjust the hood over his head and his nose and whiskers twitch again.

When he speaks his voice is rather high pitched but not grating or squeaky, one might even find it pleasant.]

Why does everyone here wear pants? How can you tell someone's station if everyone walks around in trousers all the time?

So! I had this random question I kinda have been thinking about asking some of us visitors from other realm type people for a little bit, and thought I'd ask. Sorry if this has already come up like a million times, but...

... Well, what are some of the legends on your world like? Like, mythology and heroes and stuff? I wish I could read about some of these things, but I probably can't, so I gotta ask you guys instead!

Also, uh, does anyone know how to, er, un-fry an electrical socket?

[Action]

["Hold fast, men! As soon as Luffy makes it out of her territory, our task is done!"

"Life or death?"

The memories of his recent battle against the Big Mom Pirates are still fresh in Jinbei's head as he wakes up in the Bay. Spotting the water on the ground, he acts without thinking, scooping some of it up and flinging the water out of the cave. Hopefully, there's nobody directly across from one of the openings, because that water's going to be airborne for quite a while, and if it hits someone, it's going to hurt.]

Strange... I don't think Big Mom would underestimate me this much...

[The massive fishman takes a few hesitant steps forward, keeping an eye out for one of the many Devil Fruit users and homies in Big Mom's forces, when he nearly steps on the phone.]

[Video]

[Anyone looking through the network may be greeted by an up-close look at a large blue ogre-like figure tapping at the screen.]

--think I've got it... [After taking a closer look at the device, Jinbei sits back, eyes closed in contemplation.]

It's clear that wherever this is, it's not in the Grand Line. I suppose I'll be delayed in getting to Wano...

My name is Jinbei, and I am grateful for all of this information; it's very helpful. If any of the Straw Hat Pirates are here, I would appreciate it if someone could direct me to them. ...Or perhaps they'll find me. They are quite the energetic bunch... [A small smile crosses Jinbei's face as he thinks back on his short time with the crew.]

I will need to find work and a place to live... but I can figure that out later. [It clearly doesn't concern him; if worse comes to worse, he can find a large body of water and build something under there.] Thank you for your time.
