Who: Liora and Darc
Where: Everglade cemetery
What: Darc has asked Liora to help him take on the bounty in Everglade, and Liora reluctantly agreed...

[Liora had been tense all day after receiving the call from Darc. As much as she tried to distract herself, she couldn't find anything to take her mind off the mission that was asked of her. As the sun began to set, Liora made sure to eat her fill of insects before heading to Everglade.]

[It doesn't take her long to find the designated graveyard. She lands a few feet away from it, not wanting to get too close. It reminds her of the Burial Grounds in the Kalma Clan's lair. Liora stands on all fours staring at the graveyard, waiting for Darc to show up. Or for the bodies in the graves to burst out and start running wild. Given that she was in Everglade, the latter possibility seemed more likely than not...]

[Darc is filming from his campsite, the crackle of his cooking fire in the background. Those who know him will notice that he's looking a little healthier since last they saw him. He's been eating better, at least.]

Hello. This is Darc. I haven't used the communicator much in a while, so...

[Right, socializing isn't one of his strong suits. Get to the point. He takes a deep breath to collect himself.]

I have a question about magic. I know people can use it here, but what I want to know is how. My people, the Deimos, could use magic in my own world. But only by drawing power from spirit stones. They were mined from the earth, or found by killing monsters.

However, when my friends and I saved the world from evil, all spirit stones lost their power. There's no magic for us anymore. Besides that, I haven't found any spirit stones in Genessia.

How does magic work for you and your world?

[Well... this was really not what he expected. He didn't even remember falling asleep in what he could only figure was an extremely enclosed space. Whatever it was he was planning on staying in it for long, grabbing his hat which he was grateful was with him and grabbed the other things not really knowing what they were or if they were even that important.

As soon as he left the Bay he was looking around, the device having switched on as he was putting it into his pocket. What happens next to pretty much what others are going to hear and he hasn't realized it yet.]

Oz... Oz! [He wasn't sure if what happened was a joke of some kind or not, but it wasn't funny either way. But he figured he should at least call for the other as well.][Nothing... That was annoying.]

How did I end up here? How do I get back? Maybe Raven... but that might make me exhausted just getting back...

[He muttered slightly, having ignored the hologram completely in his panic over where the others were. Still concerned it seemed like he was in his own little world. Arms crossed he soon found himself bumping into someone, causing him to snap out of it.]

Ah... I'm sorry.

Accidental Voice

Why... Cats...

[Seems like the device was still on and was recording a rather panicked Gilbert. As to why it will soon become obvious.]

Why is there a place that has cats in it?! Isn't that a little unhygienic! [There was soon a meow and a scream, crashing soon following.]

Ke-Keep away from me!

WHO: Open to all
WHAT: Rapunzel is throwing an event to try and encourage people to have fun and of course, see the city as a great place too.
WHEN: 23rd - 25th August
WHERE: Attleton - Arena

[On the first day of the event was a festival. Filled with fun little games like ring toss, Shooting gallery, even fishing for goldfish and plenty of other festival-style games with neat little prizes to be won. Rapunzel had made sure that the games were possible to win, but not impossible to lose either. She figured she got a perfect balance.

Thier was various styles of food on a food few stalls such as hot dogs, burgers, there was even some candy floss. At one of the stalls, Rapunzel was even selling her own confections that she had been making for her tavern. With the food stalls being only one of many different types if one wonders they will find stalls such as a fortune teller as well as an arts and crafts stall. There were even a few empty booths for those who wanted one. It was a day to have fun.]

[The next day was when the games began with Rapunzel standing center stages holding a microphone.]

Hello everyone, I hope that all you have a wonderful time and good luck to those who win~!

[And with that the games have begun.]

[Papyrus, in full chef regalia, poses magnificently before an over-sized pan, holding a large stirring spoon like a king's scepter.]

GREETINGS GENESSIA! IT IS I, THE GREAT CHEF-SLASH-GUARDIAN PAPYRUS, HERE TO BRING YOU A SPECIAL TREAT! MY SOON-TO-BE-WORLD-FAMOUS POKEMON PASTA! IT'S MADE FROM ONLY THE MOST DELICIOUS AND EDIBLE 'MONS OF THEM ALL! HERE COMES ONE NOW!

[Bounsweet leafcopters in, panting and smiling. It tumbles into the pan, then rolls around, glazing the surface with its sugary-sweet sweat.]

WOWIE, BOUNSWEET WORKED UP A BOUN-SWEAT! ORDINARILY THE SWEETNESS IS TOO POWERFUL FOR HUMANS, SO LET'S WATER--NAY, MILK IT DOWN!! MILTANK, YOU'RE UP!

[The camera pans to a pink cow who fires its four udders, producing a quadruple stream of white, glittering ambrosia. Great aim! Once it's in, Papyrus tosses a handful of magic fire-powder below, instantly producing a roaring flame.]

THAT MILK IS FULL OF NUTRIENTS!! DRINK ENOUGH, AND MAYBE ONE DAY YOU CAN BE AS BUFF AS ME!!! NOW, LET'S SOAK THE ONE THING NO POPULAR DISH CAN DO WITHOUT: PASTA! I'VE BEEN SAVING THESE NOODLES IN AN ANCIENT, OAKEN CASK AS OLD AS THE FAYREN WOODS ITSELF!!! IN THEY GO!!! WOW, THEY'RE AS SOFT AS I'M NOT ON CRIME!!! OKAY, THE SAUCE IS GOING GREAT!! NOW WE NEED SOME GARNISHMENTS! PANSAGE, LEND ME YOUR HEAD! PETILIL, YOUR LEAF! TROPIUS, YOUR NECK! CHANCEY, YOUR EGG! (BY THE WAY, THOSE LAST TWO WERE DONATED BY THE GREAT DOVE! THANKS A MILLION!!!)

[A monkey, a bulb, a bananasaur, and a...Chancey, respectively, all drop their particular victuals into the mix. Papyrus stirs like he's never stirred before, even though he totally has. How else could he cook with such power and speed?]

NYEEEEEH!!! MAXIMUM POKEPOWERRRR!!!!

[Huffing and puffing, he stirs like a mad witch over a cauldron of deliciousness. The flame goes out, signalling the dish is complete.]

HAH...HAH...THE POKEPASTA IS PERFECT!!! ALL RIGHT, I HOPE THAT'S ENOUGH FOR EVERYONE, BUT SINCE IT'S THE BEST THING YOU'RE LIKELY TO EAT, PROBABLY NOT! FIRST COME, FIRST SERVE!!

[That's questionably true. The taste is...well, you know how some dislike pineapple on pizza because they don't want sweet and savory to mix? It's the pasta version of that, but worse. The taste is, like everything he makes, indescribable.

Those brave enough to eat it, however, will feel euphoric. The leaves of Pansage and Petilil will refresh and rejuvenate, banishing all fatigue. One bite of Chancey's scrambled egg would make you so happy, Prozac is jealous. The fruit of Tropius...won't do anything in particular, but what else was he going to use? Clawitzer's entire arm? In a perversion of philosophy, the parts were more than the whole.

But do you dare? DO YOU!?]

(Not many will hear the purring of contented Dragons, yet that deep rumble cannot be mistaken. Daenerys is sitting by her eldest son, running a hand soothingly over his forehead. She is also singing.

The youngest Targaryen does not have the voice of her brother - in all its sweet power - but she can sing. The song itself is sad, but maybe a bit fitting after all she and Drogon have endured.)

High in the halls of the kings who are gone
Jenny would dance with her ghosts
The ones she had lost and the ones she had found
And the ones who had loved her the most

The ones who'd been gone for so very long
She couldn't remember their names
They spun her around on the damp old stones
Spun away all her sorrow and pain

And she never wanted to leave
Never wanted to leave
Never wanted to leave
Never wanted to leave

They danced through the day and into the night
Through the snow that swept through the hall
From winter to summer then winter again​​
Til the walls did crumble and fall

And she never wanted to leave
Never wanted to leave
Never wanted to leave
Never wanted to leave

And she never wanted to leave
Never wanted to leave
Never wanted to leave
Never wanted to leave

High in the halls of the kings who are gone
Jenny would dance with her ghosts
The ones she had lost and the ones she had found
And the ones who had loved her the most

Hello, everyone! I hope you have a marvelous month catching and befriending as many Pokemon you can encounter. In case anyone doesn't know me yet, my name is Augustine Sycamore and I'm the Pokemon Professor of the Kalos region. Along with most of the knowledge on these creatures, my research focuses on Mega Evolution, a phenomenon that allows some Pokemon to evolve one step further beyond their limits.

[Just then, his Garchomp, Greninja, and his latest additions, Delphox, and Lucario entered the scene as most of them cried happily while the latter two waved at the camera.]

As for these creatures, Pokemon are powerful and supernatural creatures that originally came from my world. There are different kinds of Pokemon and while some keep them as pets, most of us including Pokemon trainers used them for a Pokemon battle for entertainment and to help them bond with their Pokemon even more.

Now I can tell that not everyone here is new to these creatures or just want to know how you can take care of a certain Pokemon species.

That's why I'm here today. Though while I can't answer some of the questions regarding some Pokemon from the Alola region, I can help you out on the basics of Pokemon training and caretaking. Just contact me through this video and I'll do everything to answer them as much as I can.

Now, I hope you can continue working hard on your Pokemon training! Au Revoir!

[It takes her two months to get around to playing the hologram the Tenth Doctor left for her, and even then, she's bawling and has to play it like 20 times before she can handle it. And that's even with holding Trunks' hand through all of it.]

[She can't wear the dog collar herself, though she debates it. Maybe with a cute Rose tag instead? But it's really not her. And it'd be weird...er for Twelve than it already is.]

I'm late on this, but yanno, if anyone needs this. [Plays the hologram through for them, and sucks on a lollipop, something they might recognize that version of the Doctor did a lot of. Always licking something.]

I um... TARDIS... [Deep breath.] He didn't want her be alone. Or me. So. She'll mostly just be open here at Torchwood, because I can't give up my key. I'm mostly still gonna be in the one at the University, with the Professor, but I'm trying not to just... fall back to where I was when I first lost him, 'cause it's different? Even though it still hurts. [Rubs her temples.] But he'd want me to carry on, all that.

Anyway... still accepting people for Torchwood. Scientists, musicians, cooks... whatever.

[Great, she is more a mess THIS time, than LAST time, blimey. But she lost Mirajane and Sarah Jane too, so that's probably why. And maybe part of her still thought he'd come back. Not that he's fully gone, because he's still here, it's so weird. Don't ask.]

Blimey, this is daft. Let's just talk about something fun instead, all right?

[Even though she takes down the framed mugshot and news article about them on the carousel, and grabs the dog collar, just sealing off the bedroom so it is no more.] I always used music to keep track of what universe and timeline I was in. You'd be amazed what changes, or what sticks, yeah? So everyone tell me your favorite song, okay?

Doctor, I'll be home in a bit, making... [Lasagna, cookies, pizza, spaghetti, it's all out.] I dunno, you pick.

I think my favorite song is Audioslave's Doesn't Remind Me. It was the first one I learned on bass here.

[The video kicks on to an open field. Probably a ranch. Who knows and who cares? Certainly not this Pokemon Professor.]

Alola, everybody! Professor Kukui here with a fantastic idea, yeah!

With the appearance of Pokemon, and with everyone learning why they are our best buds, I would like to issue a challenge.

Come see me at anytime you would like, and I will put your moves to the test! That's right, I want to see how you work together with your Pokemon in a friendly battle!

I'm open now for any questions, comments or concerns. Later!

[With a outward wave of his hands with traditional Alolan fashion, he ends the video to get busy.]

[After Papyrus' flight accident--stay tuned--he'd eventually recovered to read the newspaper that prematurely ended his spree. It turned out one joy had felled its lesser, and he could not be happier. The whole network must hear about this!]

OH MY GOD!!! I WON!!! I'M THE GREAT FAYREN GUARDIAN, AND I GOT ALL THE VOTES!!!!

[Technically he was the only one running, but he likes that interpretation better.]

I'M SO....

POPULAR!
POPULAR!!
POPULAR!!!!

AND SO BUSY!! I HAVE A MILLION THINGS TO DO!!! THERE'S PUZZLES TO INSTALL, DEPUTIES TO RECRUIT, COOL RIDES TO SECURE!!

FRET NOT, FAYRENITES!! THE GREAT PAPYRUS WILL VIGILANTLY GUARD YOU FROM DANGER! ESPECIALLY THE DANGER OF HUNGER, FOR THIS GREAT GUARDIAN IS ALSO A GREAT CHEF!!! I BETTER GET STARTED! AHEM.

FOR MY FIRST ACT OF GREAT GUARDIAN BUSINESS, I HAVE AN URGENT REQUEST TO ALL THE OTHER ONES AND THEIR DEPUTIES! SEND ME YOUR BEST ACTION-SELFIES ASAP!!! THE COOLER THE POSE, THE BETTER! THIS WILL BE VERY IMPORTANT LATER, YOU'LL SEE!

OHOHO, FINALLY, THE RESPECT AND RECOGNITION I'VE ALWAYS WANTED! EVERYONE WILL WANT TO BE MY FRIEND; I WILL TIPTOE THROUGH FIELDS OF HUGS!!

GENESSIA, CONGRATULATIONS ON MAKING THE BEST VOTING DECISION OF YOUR LIFE!! THE SECOND BEST IS COMING UP IN A WEEK OR SO, SO DON'T FORGET THAT!!!

PLEASE DON'T BE SAD IF I DON'T RESPOND RIGHT AWAY TO YOUR CONGRATULATIONS, ADULATIONS, AND COMPLIMENTATIONS!! I'M UP TO MY EYESOCKETS IN PLANS!! SEE YOU SOON! NYEH HEH HEH!!!

[Don't worry, he's pretty punctual about the phone regardless. At least someone's publicly excited about the results. He just has a few...affairs to settle first...]

[OOC: More mini-threads to come in the comments below! I'll ping the relevant parties; in the meantime, feel free to tell him how awesome he is.]

 [The past few weeks have been difficult. So many friends and found-family members have disappeared lately, leaving Satou to stew in feelings of loss. She wanted to cry, but the tears wouldn't come. Which is strange. She's cried a lot in Genessia, but never because she was heartbroken. 

Then there's a ping on her device. Guardian Elections, huh... She sighs. After cleaning up her face, and her work desk, she takes to the network:]

Hello, everyone! Looks like the Guardian Elections are rounding the corner again, ne? Good luck to everyone applying~!

While I am going to re-run, this message isn't about that. It seems like a lot of people have vanished recently... I wanted to make sure that everyone was getting along okay. If anyone needs an ear or a hand, please doesn't hesitate to reach out. No one should be sad alone. 

[She pauses, her smile briefly faltering... then, beams again,] Back home, we light candles when people leave us. I was thinking of lighting a few and praying for my friends' to have pleasant and safe lives, wherever they may be now. If anyone wants to join me, please let me know! I was thinking of doing that tonight and tomorrow both. 

Okay. Kuroneko Satou, out... to the candle stooore~!

action » outside the bay

Not one to over-react when strange things befall him, Loki makes his way from the pod and up the ramp to the city proper, giving a look around at the architecture before a brief shimmer of energy changes his otherworldly clothes to an all-black business suit, complete with black shirt and tie. He makes his way across the street, seemingly familiar with the vehicular traffic, and takes a seat on a bench. When Weiss' holographic broadcast begins, he listens, watching the transmission and obviously noting the information she provides. He turns his attention to the items he found with him when he awoke and glares at the hologram again when it starts up.

He waves a hand and a brief shimmer of energy encloses the hologram and its pedestal. The animation continues, but no sound can be heard. "That's better."

He reads over the contents, tucking the red bills into the inside pocket of his newly conjured business coat, and raises an eyebrow at the documentation therein.

"Get a job? Don't be ridiculous."


audio

[Ridiculous as he may see this place at insisting he become gainfully employed, it only takes one visit to his provided lodging to decide something needs to be done, and unlike his brother, his idea of escape isn't simply 'hit it until something opens'.]

As loathe as I am to admit it, the well-established nature of this place suggests to me I should follow recommendations and...seek employment. So.

[A sigh.]

Who's hiring?

(There is no reason for what she has to say to be private, however it is a bit personal, so she chooses to phrase it in another language.)

Avy jorrāelan, Rhaegar.

(Valyrian is their native tongue, after all, so perhaps the sentiment holds more meaning this way. Daenerys beams, bright and sweet, after announcing her feelings before she addresses everyone else.)

How many soldiers would you say we have between the cities? How many are from other worlds and how many are native? Should the cities be attacked, are there plans to raise the defenses?

I haven't seen many walls or weapons for that matter.

(She should probably explain her line of thinking.)

I come from a world that is unsettled and violent. If this world is able to bring my brother and myself here, I worry others might arrive too. Others that have no desire for peace.

Who: 10th Doctor + Torchwood employees (Gwen, Rose, Jack, Nikola, Doctor 11, Doctor 6, Kioshi)
What: Papyrus and Darc getting introduced to Torchwood
When: 4/6
Where: Torchwood in Everglade
Warnings:

( Late late for an important date )

Hello, everyone. Guardian Satou of Genessia speaking.

In light of the recent incidents in both Fayren and Everglade, I'd like to announce and perhaps remind you all of Genessia's Training Center. It's a business that I opened where our teachers will help you discover and hone your unique strengths. Our goal is to help everyone learn rescue procedures and formations, so that everyone can work as a cohesive unit in the event of an emergency.

[She exhales.

All of that professional wording, while something she can do, falls to the side as she continues.]

I'm bringing this up because everyone did a fantastic job in Fayren and Everglade. I'm glad to report that nothing went amiss in Genessia, but we should all stay diligent. If you'd like to meet our teachers and hear more about our classes, please let me know! As your Guardian, I want to give everyone in Genessia the tools that they'll need to stay safe and help others... So... Yes!

Thanks so much, everyone!

Video 1: Arrival

---

[A harsh, loud, excitable voice grates its way across the comms. Feast your eyes, Genessians, on the coolest, handsomest skeleton you will ever see.]

HELLO, GENESSIA! IT IS I, THE GREAT PAPYRUS!! IT SEEMS EVERYONE HAS BEEN...KIDNAPPED!??? THERE MUST HAVE BEEN A TERRIBLE MISTAKE!! AS YOU CAN SEE, I AM NOT A KID AND I AM NOT NAPPING!

EVEN THOUGH IT FEELS LIKE I'VE BEEN NAPPING A VERY LONG TIME...

NO! A FAMOUS-ROYAL-GUARDSMAN-IN-TRAINING WOULD NEVER NAP! I'M NO LAZYBONES, BUT A HARDWORKYBONES! AND TO PROVE IT, I, PUZZLER EXTRAORDINAIRE, WILL SOLVE THIS INGENIOUS AND PRETTY PUZZLE SET BEFORE ME!

[He refers to the Weiss hologram, which he gallantly strides towards, bending at its base. One hand's on the phone, facing his face so you don't miss a second of his charisma, while the other fiddles with the intricate machinery.]

I SEE! ALL THAT STUFF ABOUT "TAMPERING" AND "PREVENTATIVE PROTOCOL" WAS BUT A MISLEADING RUSE! THE GREAT PAPYRUS WILL NOT BE SO EASILY JAPED! JUST A LITTLE MORE...AND...

[You hear the gentle "pshhh" of knockout gas.]

OHO! A CLEVER TRAP!! SO THAT'S WHAT THEY MEANT BY "NAPPING". NYEH HEH...HEH...HEH...

[You hear the gentle "sploosh" of Papyrus falling into The Bay's water. Don't worry, he's still answer your calls and congratulations. He's a light sleeper.]

Video 2: Adjustment

---

[If you give Papyrus anything to do with social media, he'll naturally abuse it to the fullest. The camera's angled down to a skeleton in a lousy bed with the covers pulled up to his chin.]

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE MONEY, COOL NECKLACE, PAMPHLETS, PHONE, AND KEY. I CLEVERLY DEDUCED THAT IT LED TO THIS VERY SPOT! THE GENESSIA COMMONSPACE! NYEHHEHEH.

UNFORTUNATELY, THE ROOM SERVICE OF THIS HOTEL IS NOT UP TO MY STANDARDS. THE LANDLADY TOLD ME THAT THEY DON'T OFFER BEDTIME STORIES. NONE! AT ALL!!!

UN. BELIEVABLE.

HOW'S A SKELETON SUPPOSED TO GET ANY SHUT-EYE THIS WAY!?!?

[That's Papyrus for "please tell me a bedtime story." If he keeps talking at his usual volume, with such thin walls, no one else is going to get much sleep either.]

Who: Gale Reinhardt and YOU
What: MINGLE TIME
Where: Hangar Queen, Genessia City
When: March 20
Warnings: Rated B for Booze!

Following the recent spooky happenings in Everglade and Fayren, people could use some time to wind down and cool off after the fact. Knowing this, Gale sent out a mass invite to come by Hangar Queen for a day of mingling. He's waving the cost of food and drink for the day (given what he makes, he can take the financial hit), so people can just relax and have a good time. A special note is made to remind people that all ages are permitted and alcoholic and non-alcholic drinks are available, with alcohol available for ages 16 and over. Just don't cause any trouble and Gale will see no reason to throw anyone out. The club's mascot is even there for pictures! So why not swing by, even if for a short while? There's nothing to lose. Except your time.

Just be prepared to hear Danger Zone played a lot. It's a moral obligation for this club. Sorry (not sorry).


[ooc: exactly what is says on the tin, it's a mingle post! leave a top level or tag out others. go make some new CR! just don't make Gale throw you out, that'd just be rude.]
