[When Liora pops onto the feed, she has a happily curious look on her face.]

Hello, Genessia. So...this Christmas holiday is coming up again. Does anyone have any big plans? I think I'm just going to stay in the Viridian Labyrinth, because Christmas Day is also my hatchday.

[And she wants to be with her clan. After that, she'll send a private message.]

[Private to Daenerys]

Um...Daenerys? Are you there? I think I found something that Drogon can wear. I'll have to find something for you, too. And your other hatchlings. Have they grown up yet?

Oh, and maybe Rhaegar can come, too, if he's still around.

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...]

Who: Daenerys, Liora & Open!
What: Daenerys is teaching her class at the college/university with a special guest/helper.
When: Monday morning!
Where: The college/university campus.

( Dragons & Diplomacy 101! )

[When Liora turns on her feed, she looks a little excited. But at the same time, she looks like she doesn't want to be excited...]

Hey, um...it's the last Sunday in June, so that means we'd be celebrating my favorite holiday in my world, the Brightshine Jubilee. But no one else celebrates it here, and I don't know how to celebrate it alone. What should I do...?

Also...respect the elements. Each element is equally important, even the unpleasant ones. The elements share a very delicate balance that keeps the world alive. If the balance is lost, then it could destroy everything...

[Liora appears on the screen, but the voice that speaks isn't hers. Instead, the voice is a deep, masculine voice.]

It all started when the curious little dragon touched the egg. And then she began to hear a voice.

[Liora looks around frantically.]

...Who is that?

Where could the voice be coming from? Was it a figment of her imagination? Have her worries and fears gotten to her head?

Stop it! This isn't funny!

[Liora grabs her head as if to contain an explosion.]

I feel like I'm going crazy!

Who: Princess Aurora and you
Where: Fayren forest
When: All day
What: Aurora is feeling a bit homesick and so she goes to make herself feel better which is to sing... Her singing has always had certain... effects.
Warnings: None I can think of?


After burning a loaf of bread and dropping and breaking a plate, Aurora knew that her restlessness and unease was going to be more of a hindrance today and had to be dealt with rather than pushed aside for the sake of getting things done. She knew, further still, that there was only one way to make herself feel better. So, with a sigh after cleaning up and throwing away the broken plate and tearing apart the burnt bread to give to some of her animal friends, she decided a walk through the forest was in order.

As soon as her bare feet were on the cool grass she already felt calmer. She gathered all of her feelings, whatever she could and couldn't understand, whatever she couldn't sort out and began to sing. Her voice reverberating throughout the forest as she sang one of her favorite songs.

She strolled through the trees, not knowing where she was going but not truly caring. She was unafraid of all the creatures that began to join her on her walk and was just enjoying the warm sun that had decided to peek through the leaves.

Aurora turned to see who all had come to join her but paused when she saw who all was around her.

"Oh, well, hello. Who might you be?"




((OOC: Aurora's singing is, canonly, magical and enchants and draws animals to her be they pets, mythical creatures/beings, or normal woodland animals. It can also enchant people if so desired!))

(Daenerys is now a regular sight on a certain school campus, though, despite her youth, she is not a student. Say hello to your new Diplomacy and Dragons professor. Her experience really shouldn't go to waste, should it?)

Those who wish to take my class will need to be prepared to see real dragons. I don't believe in relying solely on textbooks when this world has a healthy population. However if I hear of anyone harming them or hunting them, I promise you will answer for it.

(After a small pause, she adds, smiling thinly:)

...with your life if need be. Are we understood?

[The feed shows a rather upset looking young man - with a rather impressive set of horns. He adjusts the device, not accustomed to such technological knick-knacks. The Genessia Commonplace's entrance is behind him. His voice is low and rough.]

What the hell is going on here? I didn't risk everything to save the world, just to end up being abducted to another one! My people - ...Ugh, damn it! [Sighs. His draconic left hand reaches over to touch a mark on his right shoulder.]

Well if we're stuck here, like that illusion woman said, then I might as well fight alongside you. I'm Darc, King of the Deimos. If there's a way to release us from this "Genessia", then I'll help find it. But I'm not here to make friends! So don't count on it!

If there's anyone else from my world, especially Deimos, then say so.

If you are informed of your future and it is...unfortunate...do you ignore it or try to change it? [He has more or less made his decision, but he is open to the opinions of others.]

Furthermore, do you believe anyone can change for the better? Are some beyond redemption?

[Also, who decides such things? He wants to argue over that point out of habit, but this is serious and he is trying not to be an ass.]

[Mavis is sitting in a tree, she's bundled up in a warm fuzzy pink coat that may or may not have been a Christmas present from her boyfriend, her legs swinging in the air.]

Just a reminder everyone! The polls are open! [She might not be running for Guardian this time but she's still taking her civic duty very seriously.] Time to choose your Guardian again. I know, and you do too if you've followed the debates, that Fayren has two excellent candidates. I happen to know Qubine better because he's been my Deputy for three turns and has been doing an excellent job!

...But I know voting is based on personal convictions, so I shall not try to influence you. [She winked.] Just do this for me, go vote!

[A pause.] Also, the party was nice... But the Guild Hall's main room is not going to clean itself and you shouldn't expect Mira to do all the work. [This last part is obviously addressed to Fairy Haven's residents.]

Anyway, I hope you all had a great Christmas or whatever equivalent of it you celebrate in your homeworld. And if someone can help me find mistletoe, I'd appreciate!

[When the feed begins, Liora looks somewhat nervous.]

Hello...I was wondering...do humans celebrate...when they were born? My hatchday is coming up soon, and I think I want to do something. Except...I don't know what to do...

[She trails off for a moment before a dark shadow falls over her. She looks up somewhere offscreen, and then SCREAMS. And then the feed cuts off.]


[Action in Fayren]

[Anyone who wants to rush to her aid can find her in the forest, running from some large boar made of snow, the size of a school bus. When the monster refuses to stop pursuing her, Liora stops, deciding to make a stand.]

K-Keep away from me, y-you beast! I-I'm warning you...

[The snow beast is still advancing on her, Liora gathers a ball of light magic in her talons. In two seconds, it's about the size of a beach ball, which she then launches at the monster. The comet of light pierces the monster's body, leaving a giant hole in its torso. The monster then collapses into a pile of snow...but only for a moment. The snow gathers up again, resuming its former shape and begins to advance on the little dragon again, each step leaving an audible crunch in the snow.]

Oh no...it's getting back up! Now what do I do...?

[Aurora was surrounded by animals, an owl on her shoulder. If the way she carried herself didn't suggest royalty, the crown atop her head most certainly did. She looked back to the animals, offering a smile.]

If you're all sure then.

[The animals all nodded, the owl, in particular, offering a loud "HOO!"]

It is a pleasure to meet you all though I regret we do not have the pleasure of meeting in person. I am [She paused here, never having introduced herself this way before but knowing she would have to from here on out.] Princess Aurora, daughter of King Stefan and Queen Leah.

I am new to this kingdom and while there have been many things that have helped me understand everything, there's something I need some assistance with if you have the time to spare.

You see, there was... [How best to phrase this without causing massive amounts of concern or panic. She doesn't wish to worry anyone on her behalf.] quite a bit of magic done to me before I arrived here, and... because of what the magic entailed... I'm just not entirely sure how I'm awake. Does this place undo curses even done by the most powerful of beings?

[Unless all of them were under Maleficent's curse? It was entirely possible considering the faerie's power.]

A. Video [OTA]

So, if anyone's interested, Fairy Tail is looking for a new resident healer. If you want to apply for the job, just contact me!

[She's smiling but it does not quite reach her eyes.]

And for those who knew her, Tatlyn is gone... She's been gone for a little while actually.

Like Cassian and Kay.

[Come to think about it it was pretty much at the same time... She frowns and reaches for a notebook. The feed ends.]

B. Accidental video [OTA] and Action [Open to all the employees of Scribes and Scripts (in Fayren) and to Atreus]

[Mavis is standing on a stepladder in the bookstore's main shop window putting down the Thanksgiving decorations and putting up Christmas decorations instead. As a shop owner, she doesn't have to do that, she just happens to like it.

She also put Christmas themed books on display.

At some point, she looks above her shoulder.] What do you think, Zeref? I'd say the light string with the snowflakes looks better than the one with the snowmen. Or should I put both? Oh... And I'm sure Hana will like the red and green tinsel... It has little candy canes on it.

[She sounds and looks accomplished.]

I can't wait until we start decorating the Christmas tree in Fairy Haven!

(Lightning is looking more like a guard or a soldier. Her small break as a civilian had been nice, but she doesn't trust this world enough to let her skills grow rusty. Unfortunately the enhancements she had been given by the goddess Etro are gone, so she is having to move and think like a full fledged human again.

Even so, her name - nickname, really - makes sense. She is damn quick on her feet, striking targets with enough force to knock opponents larger than herself off their feet. When she reaches the end of the course, she spins and kicks the head off of the last target.

Thankfully the dummies are just that: dummies. She comes to a stop against a wall, breathing hard.)

This sword isn't bad. (She straightens and flicks her pink hair out of her eyes.) Now if I can attach a gun to it, it will be perfect.

Do you have gun-blades in your world? I had one...it was...centuries ago...

I should have kept it strapped to my back. (Not that it would have traveled with her when she had been a soul, but... Damn. She misses that weapon now.)

 [ video ]

[The feed cuts on to show Uai, his cosmetics routine perfected to hide his stress. Since his disaster of a conversation with Rose, he's been overthinking and talking less. It has not proven to be a good way to deal with his problems.]

... Soooo. What's the general opinion on the Dream Docks? Do they work? Is it worth it? [...] And also~ Opinion on things like... If your home is sort of better without you. Do you just not go back? Sorta occurred to me recently that we're not all swell people. Also, what's prison like here? 

And I'm just curious and morbid, as usual. But look! [He swings the camera to show a display of bread. LOTS of bread. His kitchen counter is basically a bread store now, with every shape and flour you could imagine. There are even some sweets on display.] I have bribery bread. So answers would be rewarded.

[It's actually stress baking. Not the point.]

[ action : Fate's Estate ]

[That stress baking has been going on for a few days. Uai has sort of taken over the kitchen, actually. He's there a lot anyway, since cooking and taking care of people comes naturally. But his recent bout of stress baking has sort of gotten out of hand and someone should come whack him with one of the bread loaves.

For now, he waves in greeting whenever someone comes by. He's smiling, too, despite all of the stress.]

What do you need? I'll get it for you.

[ Even though Hela doesn't know exactly how she got there and she's incredibly pissed about how her last family reunion went, she saunters around the cities like everywhere is her own personal catwalk. She finally settles on Everglade to make her first post, leaving on top of a half-ruined wall the device she has been given, whatever that thing is called. They don't have smartphones in Niflheim, or Asgard for what matters.

The woman is the video is raven-haired, wears dark clothing and the kind of makeup that would make a raccoon jealous. She's beautiful in the way dangerous predators always are, the kind of beauty that is better seen from a safe distance. ]

I want to talk for the person responsible for this realm, as it is my wish to thank them close and personal for bringing me here. [ There’s a smile on Hela’s lips but the tone of her voice shows anything but real happiness. She has a rather deep, powerful voice for a woman and her eyes are sharp. ] I am Hela, Goddess of Death, Odin's first bo...oh, what now!?

[ Her face suddenly has the exasperated look of someone who has been interrupted one too many times in the past. Hela looks down at whatever is bothering her and sure enough, there's a creepy looking doll now clinging to her shin. After a second, it tilts its head up in jerky motions...and Hela has had enough.

She leans over, holding a hand over the doll's head as if she's about to lovely pat it., only to summon one of her necroswords. It stabs the doll right in the head and through its body until it gets impaled on the ground, tiny arms flailing around. Hela's powers might be dampened after what happened to Asgard but she's pleased to see that some things work as they should. She straightens up, grinning more sincerely this time. ]

As I was saying...

[ Sora's face blinks into view, the camera moves a bit, but then it settles - he steps away, evidently he'd propped his phone up on something, and gives a small smile. ]

Hullo, so.

[ He clears his throat and then he looks down to his hands which he brings up to tug at his shirt. ]

There's been a few posts that have been about relationships and stuff, [ His face turns red but he does his best compose himself and he looks up to the camera. ] so I was thinking it'd be nice to have like a singles night somewhere, ... so people can gather around and get to know one another. Yeah. [ Yeah... ] So.

Yeah.

I'm going to find out where a good place is but if anyone else has some ideas or whatever, just .. you know what to do.

[ Nervous laughter vibrates over his body. ] But, I also have another thing!

I been thinking.. when I make these welcome kits for new comers.. like what is some of the stuff you guys wish you had when you first came? Working at the store has given me a lot of ideas of some of the essentials people buy regularly but.. I'd appreciate some feedback, in case I'm not thinking of something! Okay, thanks.

[ Sora walks over to the phone, the camera bounces, then it turns off. ]

 I propose that we use the non-pendent bearers as a food source.

[This, and other unhelpful suggestions, courtesy of the strange demon girl on your screen.

She seems quite unapologetic about her suggestion. Heck, it's hard to read any emotions on her.]

Their lives are limited strictly to this world, and therefore have no value in the grand scheme of things. It will be easy to eliminate any trace of their existence. If any of their non-pendent bearing friends miss them, I will eat their memories. There will be no reason for sadness. Only rejoicing, as this will solve the issue of eating in Everglade.

[She begins clapping dryly to celebrate this leap of ?logic?]
