[So, since no one discouraged spamming the network, Rose is posting, again. This time, she's indoors, at a shiny new apartment.]

Sooo, hey. I figure, I'm new here, some of you are new here, some of you are old hats, whatever. We should break the ice! And by that I mean I'm super bored. So. I'm having a party! Matisse, Genessia City, Room 102. Best way to break in a new apartment, right? Right. I've got snacks, soda, movies, and most importantly, we're gonna have a bunch of rounds of Truth or Dare and stuff like that. Everyone's invited as long as you have your magic pendant-y thingy. Don't think too hard about that part, please. See you soon! I hope? Seriously, everyone should show up, please.

Action;

[Rose has, true to her word, gotten a big party setup going in her apartment. Soda, snacks, etc of various types are around, she's got a bunch of extra chairs, the apartment is clean, there's some movies playing in the background for noise, and now she's just waiting for people to arrive.

If you arrive very early, you might hear her muttering to herself:]

Was this a mistake after all, are people really going to come, it's going to suck if I bought all this and no one shows, but it's probably fine, people here are friendly, but maybe....

[... Yeah.]

video;

[The feed clicks on, showing a girl looking somewhat sheepish.]

So, it turns out when you're driving your interdimensional chariot, the proper answer to 'bet you can't do a wheelie' is not 'oh yeah, watch this'. Whoops. Live and learn, right? Still, never been to a world that was this used to people showing up... This isn't one of those situations, is it? You know, 'oh summoned hero, go defeat the Demon Lord' thing? Because let me tell you, those get old fast.

I'm rambling, aren't I.

Hi, I'm Rose. I guess these things are so we can find our friends? So, my friends can find me now. And Anya, Vera, if you're here, I'm fine, so please don't burn anything down. If you aren't here, can someone keep me posted if either of them show up? They're easy to spot- Anya's tall, blonde, glasses, beautiful, and also if you call her Anya she'll try to break you in half. Call her Angharad. Vera's the pretty girl with horns, cute, and probably going to give a speech about darkness and flame and stuff.

If you see either of them, probably lead with 'Rose is here' before anything, um, explodes.

[This voice is far too fond, considering what she's describing. But no, she seems totally smitten.

The feed cuts off there.]

video 2;

[Except not long after, it starts up again. All of the following clips are about ten seconds at a time, as Rose seems to just be kind of... vlogging her experiences.

This time, you can see Rose in the corner, but she's in Nova City, the camera focusing on one of the janitorial robots.]

Is it a faux pas to hug a cleaning robot? Asking for a friend.

[pause.]

The friend is me. I'm the one asking. Look, they're so cute, like super-Roombas!

[The feed cuts off. And then starts up again, very shortly after. This time, Rose is standing out by the Hover Tracks, again peeking up in the corner of the feed while the camera focuses on the sign.]

They have hover truck Battlebot demolition derbies. This is officially the coolest world I have ever seen.

[The feed cuts out, and again, starts up after a few more minutes. This time, the camera is pointed at the sky, at one of the Sky Garden ships.]

There are flying gardens! This is so cool! Do they shoot lasers? I hope not but I kinda hope they do, too.

[Yet again, the feed cuts, and starts again.]

So apparently I need a job to get money to get in on this... What's a good job for someone with absolutely no skills in anything? Asking for another friend. Who is also me.

[... someone should probably tell her to stop spamming the network.]

action;

[Or you might just find her at the archways between Genessia and Nova City. Where she just... seems to be... walking into the archway.

And then back out.

And then back in.

And then back out.

Occasionally, she stops to giggle to herself like a child, but mostly, she's just running back and forth through the portal like an idiot.]

This is so cool! How does this work? Is it connecting space, like a wormhole, or... Is that place even the same world as this, really?

[Alice learned from watching the others, as Sophie screwed up the video, and has checked out the network enough to see it's not exactly uncommon to screw up at first. This weird technology might be unfamiliar to her, but she can learn by observation, and so when she sends out a video message herself, she's very calm, having figured it out.]

Good afternoon. My name is Alice Kozakura, and I have arrived here with my friends Sophie Summerhelm, Marie Cooper, and Aran Voliere. However, we are still missing some of our companions- Lulu, Celadon, and Valencia. It, ah... Well, their surnames are not necessarily relevant. They will be quite easy to identify, even without them. I am given to understand that searching for your separated companions by means of this device is the norm here.

Also, I am told that we must seek employment here. However, I am a doctor at home, skilled in the treatment of wounds and ills. I find it doubtful that those here would trust a physician they have no knowledge of their training or skills, and so I must ask instead. Need I obtain a license of some sort? Else, what may I do to continue my duties here?

[She lowers her head in a slight bow to the camera.]

Thank you for your time.

[ It seems like today is basically newbie central because there's another puzzled looking girl on the network today. Except... she doesn't really seem to realize that she is, in fact, on the network? The video feed just shows her face (thankfully not from too unflattering an angle) with an expression of total confusion as she visibly fiddles with the phone. But then she catches on that she is in fact recording and after a short – ]

Hwahh–!

[ – of surprise, the feed goes dead. Uh...

Not too long afterwards, another message pops up, apparently from the same user. It's, thankfully, less of a disaster than the (apparently accidental) video message. ]

To the residents of Genessia City,

Hello and well met! I'm very pleased to be introducing myself to all of you. Please forgive me for sending a letter in lieu of a personal introduction. But from what I understand, everyone will be able to see this message!

My name is Sophie Summerhelm and I'm a new arrival here in the city. I'm a traveling alchemist hailing from Adelheld and I hope to be able to put my skills to use in helping everyone should any trouble come up! If possible, I would like to ask if there are any schools or institutes already studying alchemy here or if there is anyone I should contact.

Thank you very much for your help! I hope I'm able to meet and make friends with everyone properly over the next few days.

Sincerely,
Sophie Summerhelm

[Winry had no idea that her plans to be a potential Pokemon breeder would end up with her having to deal with a Mr. Mime. As the feed was switched on it showed the Pokemon in all it's Mine glory and a slightly baffled Winry. She had pretty much no idea on what to do with this guy. Seriously. She was also pretty sure it might scare Eliot and honestly, that was not something she really wanted to do.]

So... Does anyone else have this Pokemon? If so... how do you know what he actually wants because I am watching him and I have no idea.

[The rest she can actually figure out but this one. It's a mystery.]

Also... is it just me or does he come off as pretty creepy? I can't put my finger on why either.

Theta! Get away from that computer, we don't need a repeat of last time! 

[A certain red-haired scientific genius comes running into screen. Or, what might be on screen if her device wasn't currently being chewed on by one of her Pokemon. It's hard to tell which one from this angle. But, what can be seen is her holo-computer being prodded at by a very peculiar pokemon.

At some point, Washu managed to capture a Porygon and they were...getting used to each other. 

Somewhere in the background, her Braixen is lounging on the couch in her nice apartment in Nova City, just idly playing with his stick and watching the petite red-head  encase the porygon in some sort of forcefield that was throwing off sparks as they had a little bit of a show down. One Washu easily won several moments later when the Porygon relented and turned its back on her. She sighed and ran a hand through her hair.]

Maybe I should have named you Ryoko instead of Theta. 

[It's about that time she realizes her device is being used as a chew toy and sighs as she walks over and saves it from some unknown mouth.]


With so many mouths to feed, I might need to find a job sooner than later. Anyone know if there's a need for scientists or professors anywhere?

[A caped man appears on the video. His outfit is bold and bright, all gold and red and lit up from within. He speaks with a sense of urgency as if of an imminent danger.]

I want you all to listen to me. I am Mysterio, one of The Avengers.

There appears to have been a rip in time and space and I have found myself unexpectedly dropped into your world.

But I cannot stay here. I need to go back and save the Earth. This is imperative. Anyone, if you can hear me, show me the way or portal to leave this world. The sooner I can leave, the more lives can be saved.

Who: Rapunzel, Winry Rockbell, Baldur, Kaoru Hitachiin, Allen Walker, Belle French, Raine, Takeru Takaishi and Open to those who want to tag any of them.
When: July 1st - July 31st
Where: All the cities.
What: Log for the Pokemon event. All thing related to them will be posted here for my character action wise. Any video, tex or voice posts will still get their own post.

[If anyone wants a specific thread with any of my characters please let me know on plurk which is faysdarkangel. Otherwise I will be writing up open posts as the event goes based on what happens or what is caught.]

[action - The Bay]
[As typical arrivals happen, Tohru stumbles out of a pod and into the shallow waters of The Bay. Her thoughts had already been swimming with anxieties, so the cool touch of water is a refreshing way to shake her out of it.]

Eh? Did I sleepwalk? [But this isn't the ocean. Wasn't she just at the summer house with the Sohmas? They were going to light fireworks today... After... Akito...

Her thoughts almost glaze over again. Fortunately, (?) a picture framed in a leather holder slips out from her fingers and nearly falls into the water. Tohru, renowned for things like graceful reflexes, snaps out of her daze to grab the photo---

And falls face first into the water. Soaking her nightgown.] HEEEH--- M-Mom! Th-That was-- [achoo] A-A close ooone!!! You could have become quite wet and c-coold. [Instead, Tohru is wet and cold.]

[video]
[After watching the Hologram, a very confused Tohru appears on the network. She wants to panic about the Sohmas, or lack thereof, but she knows that will cause her to really panic. So, instead...]

Is this really mine? It looks like a cellular telephone of some sort... Is it really okay for me to have something so extravagant in my humble possession? I don't know if I could afford even a payment plan, but I'll certainly try. [She has, otherwise, apparently accepted the idea of other worldly kidnapping plots.]

... Oh, excuse me. That is... My name is Tohru Honda. I.. I appear to be new here in "Genessia." I've never been kidnapped before, but that woman seemed exceedingly kind. Thank you for the warm welcome. I'll do my best to repay that kindness. [achoo!

She's still cold from falling in the water, even if her clothes have dried out. Tohru also has some scratches on her face, distinctively looking like fingernail scratches, and some mild bruising. But that's fine. Everything is fine. She's smiling like it's fine, anyway.]

Where might I find a towel? I'm sorry to complain, but I didn't expect kidnappings to be so cold.

[Her wings are tucked away and hidden, but that camera is perfectly poised as always, despite the hustle and bustle of the set behind her. She might be at a shoot, but her scheduling agent curiosity is bugging her.]

A question for you all:

If your birthday was coming up and you had access to ....almost everything you ever wanted... what would you treat yourself to? Would you throw yourself a party or just spend the day enjoying yourself?

[A pause, and an almost amused frown at a thought.] Is anyone else out there immortal to the point where birthdays no longer matter?

[ One doesn’t just die and wake up. That isn’t how it works. This isn’t a zombie movie, or an exorcism. The darkness swallows you up and everything is just gone. That had been Noahs fear and then his reality. He knew why he did it. He didn’t regret it. It just was.

What actually happened left him feeling lost, confused and unsure about what he was supposed to be doing or where he should be going. He read the pamphlet once he could get his head working, wore the necklace, tucked away the cash, put the key safely in another pocket and held the phone for what felt like forever.

The moment he realized he had an actual body again, however, was the moment he realized something very odd had just happened and it wasn’t just some fuzzy dream. It fueled the human side of him that had faded so much before the darkness had taken over. ]

...Gansey.

[ That was it. Something happened when Gansey died for the second time. It had to have been the catalyst that started this.

Stopping he looked around and then looked at the phone, fiddling with the menus. ]

Please be here...please...please... Ronan, too...

[ Because this...was scary. Beautiful, but scary and for the first time ever he worried he would have an actual heart attack. THAT, would be a really crummy way to die. Again.]

[Have an annoyed Violet on feed.]

My parts source dried up! So is dumpster diving legal or frowned on?

[Gale Reinhardt was gone. General Grievous had announced that. Karla felt that David Haller was gone as well. Although his departure hadn't been announced, Karla could just feel it. She hadn't heard from him in some time. She sits with her device in her lap, fidgeting with her hands.]

Two of my friends are gone. Two...out of three. I feel more hollow than I've felt in a long time.

I've always felt that we should spend as much time as we can with our friends...because one day we would part ways. But no matter how much time we spend together, it never feels like it's enough. Is that why people feel sad when their friends leave...?

[Video]

Okay. No shouting this time, but I've got to ask.

[Aaron then points to a puppy on his bed with eggshells scattered around its feet. Strangely, it was colored orange along with its eyes.]

Is this one of the Poke-monster things that the dragon was talking about? Because most dogs I know has golden fur and they didn't hatch from eggs.

[Action]

[Unlike last time, he doesn't have any problem with his new pet considering it was closer than having his very own dog. For the rest of the week, he managed to let it have some walks at the park, play with it, and teach it tricks.

But what he doesn't know that having this strange pet causes his dark blue eyes to not only to turn orange but it also slowly changes his brown unkempt hair into an orange bob hair. By the time you meet him either at his Datascape World video game shop or one of Nova City or Genessia's parks, he is now wearing a matching orange sweater along with his physical changes.]

How can just tripping over an egg do this? [Luna now has egg shell blue hair instead of her usual blonde.]

[Winry turned on the feed and was currently surrounded by books on robotics as well as some medical journals. She figured that if her off time if she didn't have anything job related to do she would learn other things. The downside was she found she didn't really have much of a social life. She figured she should really change that since her only close friend was currently Eliot.]

I have a question. Does anyone here find it hard to want to form and gain connections here because of the possibility of them going home?

action;

[ After leaving the Bay, hasty and a little unsettled, Souji re-takes his search for one person in particular; he asked at the Commonspace address engraved on the key, though the staff failed to help looking out, not knowing about said person. The only source of comunication as stated was the smartphone. Unlucky for him, Souji hasn't been able to get any help, only uncertainty, in how to use the phone. As friendly as he may seem, the realization of him carrying two swords (one short and one large) has driven any possible clarification away, leaving him kinda disheartened.

The instructions are very well written, yes, even though he is a teacher himself he was a student once. As committed as he is to his craft, this he cannot do on his own. ]

Uhm... excuse me!? Sorry to disturb you but, could you tell me how this thing wor--

[ And off there goes another. Sob ;;. ]

video;

[ Here, have a big, flat-faced flounder cheery shot of Souji's face 'a la Peter Parker vlogging' on your feeds people. ]

Good evening. My name is Souji Okita and finally could get a grasp of this thing. [（⌒▽⌒）] I'm in a thorough search for someone named Seizaburo Kamiya. Any information you can provide I'll be indebted to your kindness.

[ He could ask about Hijikata and Kondo or even Saito (who went with Kamiya on that mission), only that the Shinsengumi did have some reputation to take precautions concerning. ]

[anonymous text] Hollow Comfort

a question
by now many of you have realized your situation
and where we are and what this place is
so to those that have embraced this world:
what do you find worthy of your time?
how do you find meaning in this nothingness?
how can you say that helping someone is worth anything?
when they might not be here next week
right now i don't see the point in anything
and would like a different perspective

[video] When the Piper Seeks his Fee...

[Vaggie looks up on the camera as she sits on a bench in Everglade looking morose as usual. Beside her are a set of boxes and bags, and she seems to be peering soberly at the camera.]

Well, it finally happened. Those little red bills they gave me are finally down to the last few. And as charming as it is to sleep out in a back alley or under a newspaper in the park, I don't really find that all that appealing.

So, uh...

...yeah, I'm asking for a job. Not asking for much, but it does have to pay. I've done some bookkeeping stuff in the past, and maybe a few odd jobs here and there. Its not exactly like I have references. But if you have something or have heard of someone that is hiring, help a girl out? Thanks.

Oh, and if that job is Torchwood -- I'm not interested.
