Text 1: OTA

I haven't been here long enough to really explore everywhere, so I'm wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of a really good art supply store? I've blown through what I brought with me and now that I'm more settled in, I'd like to restock. Painting is a hobby and I'd like to keep at it.

Thanks!

Text 2: Private to Eddie Brock

Still here?

PLAYER PLOT: DATE AUCTION  


Genessia
Dinner & Date Auction

Azura has been working hard for the past month or so, organizing and preparing for the date auction. This year, due to it still being cold outside the auction and pre-party are being held inside. However, Azura and the people she has hired have put forth great effort to make the indoor venue appear as though it is outside during the spring. Trees and plants real and fake all decorate the large room, pathways being carved out by laying out stone pebbles to create the feel of garden paths. Flowers and other similar decorations accompany the greenery, the flowers mostly in deep, passionate reds, oranges and a few purples here and there. In the back of the room, there is a long stage with a walkway, littered with petals and lights that twinkle in the mood-lit room. Candles are set up along each of the tables that have obviously been set up for dinner service.

There is a small donation box set up at the entrance of the event, for anyone who wishes to donate to the cause of fixing up the starter apartments but doesn't wish to actually participate on the bidding event.

Pre-Party
In order for attendees to meet each other as well as interact with those who have decided to put their dates up for auction, a pre-party has been arranged, with the focal point being a nice, relaxed atmosphere dinner and dance afterwards. Everything is themed to be enjoyed in pairs, so if you want to have dinner or step onto the dance floor you better be ready to do so with a partner.

Speaking of, once people arrive they are asked for their name. Upon discerning what their last name (or first, in the case of characters without last names) they are given one of 6 colored ribbon bracelets.
A-D get Green or Blue
E-I get Blue or Pink
J-M get Red or Orange
N-R get Orange or Purple
S-V get Purple or Red
W-Z get Pink or Green
Your pairs must include matching ribbons!
  1. Mingle - The first step to meeting someone new is to talk to someone. This is what the ribbons are meant to do, of course. Maybe you notice someone with the same color ribbon as you are, and decide to strike up a conversation. It's also entirely possible that this whole ribbon idea seems foolish so of course that could be a topic as well. Those who decide to pair up with like-colored ribbons will be given a sheet of items to find (certain flowers, hidden marbles, dice, and other small objects) to look for as a sort of ice breaking scavenger hunt. Those who find a significant number can get free drinks!
  2. Dinner Party - Orders are taken at the tables when people come to sit down, with the choices ranging from roast chicken, steak, and pork to more vegetarian friendly options that include a vegetable soup, tofu burgers and other assortments. Wine for adults and juice for those who are underage are offered, with water also being an option for those who don't like either. Remember, in order to partake you need to find someone with the same color ribbon as you!
  3. Dancing - Throughout the night there's an assortment of music in style and tempo, and many attendees are already cutting a rug. At times there's even a dancing competition between two pairs to see who dances the best! It's all in good fun though, since there aren't really any prizes. Of course, attendees are required to dance with partners who have the same ribbon color as them! It's also encouraged to participate in the dances with someone you've yet to meet before.

Date Auction

After the dinner party and mingle, the auction gets under way! It's a classy affair, so anyone acting particularly out of control during the bidding is quietly ushered out to save them and everyone else the embarassment. During the bidding, bidders are to stay in their seats, using paddles to signal interest that they will be given once the time is right. Of course, since this is a charity, everyone is encouraged to be generous with their bids. All dates will start off at $100.00.Unfortunately for more shy bidders, there is no silent bid option. You're going to have to fight for those spectacular dates with everyone else!

Rules
  1. This is not an OOC popularity contest, please don't treat it as such.
  2. Bidding wars are HIGHLY encouraged.
  3. Bidding closes OOCly on January 16th.
  4. Dates are up to players to organize, the dates will not be played out in this post.
  5. You MUST have fun!!!

[video/action]  
[VIDEO]

Hello, Citizens of Genessia! I suppose this is as good a time as any... My name is Satou Kuroneko, and I will be the new Guardian of Genessia. I look forward to working for you all! Please, feel free to bring any concerns to me at any time. I'll be working on enacting a few changes to the system, so I would appreciate any and all feedback as I get started.

I would also like to hire new Deputy Guardians. I've got the funds to hire two or three new Deputies and will be taking applications until next Sunday. I would also like to hire a Secretary for our Guardian office. If you're interested, please stop by the office or call me back about an interview.
I'll give you more details about what I'm looking for, but.... For the moment, I'm really hoping to talk to people who know how the Police Department works, and people who know about healing. Of course, people who are strong are also going to be very important. 

Thank soo much! Let's work together to keep Genessia safe, for a long time to come!

[ACTION]

[Satou will be at the Genessia Guardian Office for most of the day. She's working on making some IKEA-isc furniture for the office, including four more desks and a lot of rolling chairs. Of course, as a magical girl, she's able to cheat a bit... That's why the furniture pieces are floating all around her and putting themselves together.

When someone arrives, she waves and lets the furniture land softly on the ground.]

Hello! Are you here for an interview?

[OOC: Deputies will earn 4 stars in payment. Secretary will earn 2 stars in payment, and get part-time hours.]

01 | INTRODUCTION | BUCKY BARNES | ACTION  
 [ACTION]

Bucky isn't a fan of whatever is going on here. Last he knew he was setting things up in Budapest and now? Now he's here. Wherever 'here' is. 

He looks at his new items with distrust. The necklace is hideous and he shoves it into a pocket instead of putting it on. He shoves the phone and pamphlet in there, along with this weird red money. Monopoly money. Where is Steve to get a kick out of that? 

Steve. Shit, he is probably still looking for him. Bucky didn't plan on staying away forever. He'd just needed time. And now he is God knows  where with... Monopoly money, costume jewelry, and a phone. Yeah. This is great.

He leaves the cave thing and stumbles out, looking for anyone at all who can talk to him. He slips the necklace on, finally, deciding it was better to not test that rule yet. Maybe it will help bring him to someone that can help him...

(First Flight - Action & Video)  
(The Docks & Beyond)

(The dark heavy fabric of the North weighs her down and Daenerys pauses more than once in her solitary journey to survey her surroundings. Where in the name of any gods is she? All of this feels like a dream and she glances down, touching the silver dragon broach to remind herself that, yes, she is awake. The metal is cold against her fingertips and her dreams are usually not that intense.

Eventually, she will reach a city. Eventually, she will seek aid. But she is a proud Queen and she is in a foreign land without a friend and without her children.)

Excuse me... (There is nothing she can do but approach strangers and hope they do not kill her on the spot.) Can you tell me the name of this land?

(Video)

(Using the communicator seems...deadly. Dangerous. She has no idea who can see her or what plans they might make. Yet she needs help.)

Have any dragons been seen in the skies? (If her sons are here, she needs to find them.) I am looking for one with black scales and another with green.

(She will keep it at that, her face expressionless. She has lived her life hearing lessons about not giving her enemies emotional or other fodder.)

01. Introduction [Voice/Action]  
VIDEO;

I'm not sure what it says about this place that somebody put a welcome hologram next to the place where kidnap victims arrive. On one hand, I'm alarmed it's happened enough to need that kind of message. On the other, at least someone else has gone to the trouble of having a welcome speech. So, uh, thanks for that.

[ He's not happy to be here, despite the neutral expression and casual tone in his voice, but you could probably say that about any of the people who wake up in the cavern. He is, however, relieved that he -- and by assumption -- everyone else who winds up isn't immediately thrown into jail or a labor camp. It could be much worse. ]

Anyway, hi. My name is Steve and I'm new. I'd appreciate any tips or advice on how to find housing and a job, or just anything about living here. Thanks.

[ At least until he pokes around and figures out why people are being brought here, and maybe how to get everyone home. ]

ACTION;

[ For the first few days, Steve plans on sticking fairly close to his temporary lodgings. He will be out and about learning his way around, though, wandering down streets and poking into interesting looking shops. Chatting with strangers, whether they're newcomers like him or native to the region, will be a top priority. Knowledge is power and he's learned through hanging around with some very intelligent spies people that any information you get can be used to advantage.

But it also helps knowing what kind of people are around for the sake of living together and who might be good in an emergency. Steve isn't naive enough to think trouble won't find him here. It always does. ]

[The face on the video screen may be familiar to some. He might have shorter hair and one fewer eye than people are used to seeing, but it's still the same person. At least the missing eye is covered with a patch.

He looks a little bit annoyed though.]

I was under the impression that when I was sent home from New Dodge, that I would be sent home. Not to another place that isn't Asgard.

[You have to stop thinking there's an Asgard to go back to, Thor. At least the one that used to be.]

Or Midgard.

intro: steve rogers, voice and action  
[Voice.]
[Steve Rogers is a man who would like to think he’s gotten better at learning how to use technology. It’s been a few years since he has been out of the ice. When needed, he can fly the quinjet. He’d even been able to work a phone and a computer. He still wonders how Howard Stark felt about the modern world as it changed around him. He, at least, wasn’t thrown into it like Steve was. He’d helped to make it. So, the pamphlets were a little unnecessary as he toyed with the small device in his hands. His only real hesitation is to reach out to someone he doesn’t know.

He has no clue who he knows here and who he doesn’t. Being kidnapped and brought into a strange new world was also, sadly, something he was quite used to. His shoulders slump a little and a small sigh can be heard as he stares into the screen. He’s seen better days. Sporting a scraggy beard and some dark circles under his eyes, Steve forces an awkward smile.]

Hello. I’m Steve. I am new here, so it seems. I just spoke to the woman in white. And I went where I was supposed to go to get answers. Didn’t…” [He frowned.] Didn’t really get the answers I was looking for, but it’s a good start. I… I’ve been told what comes next. [And yet, there’s a sadness in his eyes. He doesn’t want to be here. He needs to get back home to Sam, Nat and the others. So many were depending on it. On him.]

So… Hi?

[action.]

[Being new in town, Steve really isn’t sure where to go. So, he opts to just wander aimlessly. As long he careful and did not interact with anyone specifically, he should be fine. Right? He needed information and walking around just seemed like the best course of action for him. After all, not many would speak to him because he was new. Or, perhaps he was imagining it.

Either way, Steve is walking down the street. Your street? He wants to try to meet some people and try to find a way home. He understands finding a job and trying to settle in. Still, it has to be off putting for others here. Doesn’t it? One hand reached up, running though his hair as he glances around. At least, eve n in this place, people watching and letting them move around him was slightly fascinating.

He doesn’t know where he is. While Steve had the power to knock people off their feet, he didn’t use his gifted powers for anything bad. He wondered, sadly, if he was stuck here forever. Bucky, he thought to himself…. Would he ever see his oldest, dearest friend again either?]

[The feed cuts on, even though there isn't much to see, except a cloud of smoke. The loud scraping of a window opening and then some stumbling and coughing and then the opening of a door and slamming behind him, at least in the hall there isn't any of the strangely coloured smoke.

Peter is coughing and gasping a little bit, looking pale like his senses are completely overloaded.]

Ah... [His voice is hoarse.]

Would anyone mind- [Cough.] if I borrowed their couch for the night?

[What science experiment gone wrong, who said he did that? Nothing out of the ordinary here at all. The feed cuts out.]

♕ WEISS SCHNEE

04 January 2018 @ 06:47 pm
video; + action for anyone out in the storm  
We really need to develop a way to pin emergency messages to the top of the network.

[ Okay, but bitching about that aside, Weiss is clearly inside the Schnee Company Welcoming Center location in Genessia City. Her hair's a little frazzled, and there's a Froslass standing at the door looking out in the background behind her. There's also a table set up with carafes with hot water, tea, hot cocoa packets, and freshly brewed coffee, and a large pile of blankets stacked near the door. Despite that the power is off, there's a large blowing sound- they're running heaters with Generators made from Dust from their world that Weiss had stacked up. ]

Hello, Genessia. Newcomers in particular. If you need any assistance, tell me right away and I'll come get you and take you to Schnee Company's Genessia Welcoming Center. Just be aware that I may be accompanied by creatures called Pokemon and they aren't a threat unless you attack first. Eis-- [ Wait. People aren't going to know her Pokemon's names. ] There's a Lapras, Smoochum, Froslass, Arcanine, Amaura, and a Castform with me.

[ Char would've come, but they were worried about his tail going out. Better safe than sorry. ]

That said, I come from a kingdom that's basically covered in ice the majority of the year, so it won't be too difficult for us to navigate to you and get you here. It's not a far walk from the Bay, and if you aren't a newcomer, you're welcome as well but you're going to have to let us know your exact location to send a team out to. I'm heading back out now and visibility is pretty low, so please respond with either video or voice.

[ And the video ends with Weiss going back outside, feel free to run into her or ask for assistance or anything like that! ]

[ The smart phone given to Lunafreya tumbles onto the ground and starts broadcasting without her knowledge. The winds howl with the blizzard around her, snowflakes landing on the blonde hair that is down and around her shoulders. Those with keen eyes will pick up the bruises, cuts and perhaps even the shot of a stain on what should be a beautiful white gown. Her arms have crossed over her body to hold herself, attempting to see through the blasting wind and snow. Still within her hands are the other gifts given to her upon her awakening.

In the middle of a blizzard.

Her eyes eventually fall to the ground where she notices the phone. After shuffling some of the items in her hands, Lunafreya gracefully leans down to pick it up. If it is on then surely someone must be on the other side -- ]

--My name is Lunafreya Nox Fleuret. If anyone might hear this message, please, tell me where I might find shelter. [ Her voice breaks from the shivers that wrack her body and the cold that has started to set in.

Perhaps a coat is in order as well. ]

[THIS IS A FIRST. Cecil almost never uses his video function.

But here he is!

Yeah he lost the guardian election-]

Congratulations to Guardian Cassian Andor! I hope you have a wonderful and fulfilling second term as Guardian of Attleton. I know we are in the safest of hands, and I cannot wait to see what the next six months has in store for us.

[And further more-]

And it seems I've been elected mayor! Everyone did keep telling me that the position seemed to suit my answers better, and well, if the majority wants me as the mayor, then I'd hate to turn them down.

What a wonderful election this was, wouldn't you all agree? Isn't politics fun?

Oh! I almost forgot.

I'm still throwing a pizza party.

Because you can't say you're going to throw a pizza party, and then just not throw it.

Consider it a thank you for going out and putting in your vote, and contributing to our fair city, and the continued existence of some semblance of order and stability!

Captain America/Steve Rogers
wearingtights
11 December 2017 @ 11:38 am
001; ACTION | ACCIDENTAL VIDEO  
ACTION

[The heavy veil of sleep lifts as Steve presses his palm against his forehead. A low groan echoes through the otherwise empty cave as the ex-Avenger pushes himself up to a seated position. The box on his chest tumbles to the ground, making a very loud splash in the water that surrounds his unexpected resting place. Steve forces his senses to focus, his eyes narrowing at the pods, the bay and the exit that softly glowed from the mid-day sun. He moves cautiously as he rises to his feet, reaching down to grab the box that had been on his chest a few moments before.

He sorts through the contents of the box curiously as he steps towards the mouth of the bay. He isn't expecting the recording but after being friends with Stark he isn't surprised by it either. He pauses and listens in full before turning to grab some of the brochures that the young hologram had indicated. It is a good thing that they're prepared though this is all very worrying.

His thoughts linger on different pieces of information, repeating them in his head until they're memorized. 'The necklace indicates who is real and who isn't?' Steve isn't sure what that means. He eyes his necklace before shoving it into his front pants pocket. He isn't a fan of jewelry but it shouldn't be difficult to keep the pendant on him. It is like a pair of dog tags.

From there Steve pulls out the map and heads towards the places that the young girl in the recording had suggested. There is a welcome center and it appears as if he's been given a temporary place to live. He needs to find out if anyone else is here though he isn't sure how to go about doing that.

Steve is hesitant on using the phone until he's had time to look over it properly. He has more than a few people he doesn't want to run into and there isn't any harm in being careful.]


ACCIDENTAL VIDEO

[Steve selects a temporary place to live and begins making plans. It isn't the first time he had to start from scratch but at least this time he knows what to do. He begins going through the information and items he'd been given before accidently pushing the phone onto the floor and effectively turning it on.

The video displaces the white ceiling and the edge of an old wooden coffee table.]

Law enforcement would be to ostentatious.

[A deep voice rings across the room in a hushed voice that suggested that Steve is talking to himself.]

I could draw cartoon characters at the park. Not sure if this city is that similar to New York. I don't think it'd get many tourist here.

[The voice might be familiar to some of those in Genessia. Either way, someone should tell the poor guy that he's publically broadcasting since it is obvious that he isn't aware.]
