( despite his serious, unfazed expression before the camera, his eyes certainly reveal more than he intended to show. )

For the time being, I'll take ownership of Amatsu Inn. The married couple Kenshin and Tomoe Himura are no longer in Genessia.

( and that's it. the feed ends there. really not in the mood of saying more about it, knowing that tomoe will go back being... dead. he hopes... she will be happy in her next life... )

action; fayren and amatsu

( souji found himself having more time in his hands than he originally had. ridiculously more free now that he's not a servant. he's never been the main chief of anything: only an assistant teacher, a captain... a follower, owning something overwhelmes him. glad to know he has a kind staff willing to back him on this decision.

here and there, all he wants is to remain distracted from thinking about tomoe, who came to consider a dear friend given her initial distrust of him being from the shinsengumi, and also came to estimate her husband kenshin, a good and very strong talented man with the katana.

at some point during the days, afternoons, evenings or nights, someone might bump into him and his now a little more grown wolf pup, mibu. )

[VIDEO]
Hey guys! [Oh look, it’s Dove, hanging out on the balcony, swirling a glass of what looks to be sparkly wine.] Sorry in advance for the weird broadcast, but bear with me. I just need to get it off my chest. [It’s a happy video. She’s smiling. Everything is fine.]

With all the Pokemon showing up, it hit me that I’ve been here… well over a year now and didn’t even realize it, and that… even with all the weird ups and downs…[She makes a quick face as though there have been quite a lot.] …it’s honestly been one of the best years I’ve had in a long, long while. [She laughs a breath, almost as if she can’t really believe it now that she’s started thinking so much about it.]And… I’m so extremely grateful for it. Things at home weren’t exactly great, and here I’ve had the freedom to actually do the things I’m good at. I’ve somehow made the best friends a girl could have, fallen… in and out of love, and I’ve never had to hide my wings or make decisions for anyone but myself. I never thought I’d be willingly getting up at daybreak to have my butt kicked, or ever experience having fins or even enjoy going underwater at all, but… here we are. I haven’t felt this free in years, and it’s such a beautiful feeling finding people to open up to and I just…

[She shakes her head, knowing full well that she’s getting off track. She needs to hop back on it before she derails entirely.] I guess what I really want to say is just… Thank you. To my employers, fans, acquaintances, neighbors, and everyone in between, thank you. To my friends… I love you. Thank you for blindly handing me a second chance at finding happiness and putting up with me as I figure things out. [That one might be a little more pointed; her weird gifts have dragged more than one person into her mess of finally blossoming power.]

[She takes a deep breath, then lets it out slowly before leaping off.] Alright, sappy- [but heartbreakingly genuine] - stuff out of the way, I want to celebrate! I’ve got a couple of vendor friends who have graciously offered to set up on the beach this weekend for a… much… smaller… version of last year’s beach party, if anyone wants to join me. Bonfires, food, drinks, dancing, karaoke, sports, [she waves a hand. Etc, etc.] I hope you’ll be able to make it! New friends, too! The more, the merrier.

And if sand doesn’t excited you, I’ve also secured a private box the next weekend at Genessia’s Theatre. I’ve never even heard of the show, but it should be fun! [A shrug.] Just let me know ahead of time that you’re coming so I can check with the powers that be and make sure we’ll all have enough elbow room.

Really though, thank you all, and cheers to another year!


( More prompts (Clubbing, Beach Party, Theatre Show, and more below! )

Why do people hate clowns so much?

[Seemed like a rather odd question, to say the least, nothing seemingly prompting it either. But it had been something that the young man had been noticing for a while and it bothered him.]

I've seen horror movies that have clowns and just there seemed to be a lot of dislike towards them and I honestly don't get why. They aren't bad, they just want to make people happy. So I guess I'm just trying to understand why.

action; rocky falls near amatsu ( night ) [ closed to dany ]

[ He left her a note at the entrance of her house, trying to pass unnoticed so Valonqar and Hāedar wouldn't give away his presence. Leaving clear instructions, Souji waits for Daenerys near the small waterfall. The night is ideal to fulfill his promise given the weather predictions, he decides to wait for her, but he isn't alone.

A month-year-old light brown, male wolf cub is sleeping next to him over the big wool blanket. He looks so tiny you better watch out not to step on him. Small candles surround them to make it more special, however, by doing special, the young man feels quite nervous and fidgets a little on his spot.

How will this turn out? Is this some kind of 'date' as people here tend to say? ]

action & accidental audio; the next day, leaving the fish market

[ Do you see and hear that? That's one bushi (samurai) whose running away from the market, lifting up a wolf pup with a basket full of fish hanging from his arm. A funny, distressed face is pretty visible from afar. ]

Mibu! You shouldn't have done that! How could you!?

[ And that crowd behind? Those are angry fishermen chasing them. Have a good day. ]

action; fayren beach ( later that night )

[ Despite been a few months, he feels it has been an eternity. Training under the clear night is the only thing that could make him remember he was still a bushi. Without Kamiya begging him to help with her sword skills, without subordinates to teach or even rebels to arrest or kill, Souji feels very limited in putting into practice his abilities. He had a mission and a passion and now the plans have changed drastically.

Without hesitation and without any rest, he swings his katana to all sides, giving firm and secure thrusts, moving his body as if it were a war dance. For the normal eyesight, he turned out to be very fast.

Sensing the presence of someone behind him, his voice is serious and calm. ]

You better be careful. I might hurt you unexpectedly.

[ Hey look, it's another teenager! A totally and completely normal teenager that has managed to scrounge up some clothes that aren't just whatever the hell he was wearing under his suit. Looks like a hoodie and some kind of shirt that looks like it might be nerdy? He tried for a nerdy aesthetic, anyway, which is hard when he doesn't even know what nerd culture looks like here. He's seated outside in Nova City somewhere, trying to figure out what to do next.

Anyway. He. Waves awkwardly? ]

Hey, um. I'd ask if people really just introduce themselves online like this without making it like "Welcome to My Star Wars Vlog And/Or Podcast" but I went back and looked at a bunch of posts and I guess that's exactly what it is? Which is cool. But weird? I'm weirded out.

[ Focus, Peter. Maybe breathe a little. He looks incredibly awkward, which is still only 50% of the Awkward Peter Parker Experience. ]

Anyway, I'm Peter Parker! I just got here like. A couple hours ago? And I have one really super important question.

[ Pause. Try not to look too excited. Look incredibly excited. ]

Did I see something about Pokémon? Like, actual physical Pokémon? Is that real or is this some super convincing AR thing? Because I'm down with both but if it's the first kind I am literally going to explode.

Who: Gwen Stacey/Peter Parker, Gwen Stacey/Video for All
When: July 12th
Where: The Bay, Nova City, Exploring everywhere.
What: Spider-Teens invading your peaceful world, sorry folks!

Gwen was on her way home from Miles world. She was going to see her brothers and her father and her New York. Right? That's where she was supposed to be headed. Right back to her world, where she was the one and only Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Woman, she was Gwen Stacey, drummer in The Mary Janes. Daughter of Captain Stacey, sister to Howard and Phillip and Simon.

None of this...literally NONE of it...had anything to do with waking up in a strange pod, with a weird necklace and weird, red money in an envelope. Her knee connects to the inside of the pod, waking with a start before it's even open and as she holds her knee for a moment, eyes closed tight as she hisses slightly, she gets that jolt.

That electricity down the spine feeling of another Spider-Person around. So, ignoring her knee pain and leaving her smart-phone and other fun consolation prizes in the pod for now, she climbs out a bit unsuccessfully. She's beauty and she's grace, she almost fell right on her face. Blame some severe disorientation at the whole situation, okay? She's usually a lot better about this kind of thing.

But that buzz keeps going and Gwen is grateful she's in her Spider-Suit, webshooters fixed firmly to her wrists. Who knows who put them in this situation? Who even knows if this other Spider-type is even remotely friendly? Keeping the mask of her suit firmly in place, hood drawn up, she follows her spider sense to a second pod in the room, one that's just starting to open.

"Oh...kay. This is a little too Aliens for me. Please do not...be that." For an old, old movie, it sure still creeped her out when she thought about it.


[Video - Several Hours Later: OTA (also open for action!)]

[ Gwen wouldn't call herself settled in. Nor would she say she feels too comfortable with this situation. The only reason she delayed so long in even getting this video out is because she was waiting for the return of the Glitches. These horrible moments where, when one is in the wrong universe, every cell in ones body gets Big Mad and tries to return home. Unfortunately, they cannot. Fortunately, there hasn't been a one so Gwen Stacey, just your average teen girl in a black tank top and denim short shorts, blonde hair a bit windswepped and wavy, side shave no older than a couple days or so and jewelry in her right eyebrow catching the sun, has seated herself on a park bench somewhere in Nova City. She has a backpack next to her that's zipped up tight, a journal and pen lying on top. And there's a soda and a bag of chips nearby, both of which she picks at as she talks. It's been a long day. She deserves the snack, okay? ]

Hi, uh...everyone. I'm Gwen. I'm from New York. Loving your city, I'm sure. It's been a real pleasure so far.

[ She doesn't 100% sound like it's been a real pleasure. And she's not smiling too much. It's not a look of resignation entirely? But there's clearly some small part of her brain that has 'F*** this shit, I'm out." playing on repeat in her head.

Listen, I'm just here to try to find a job for now. I'm a trained dancer, been dancing since I was three. I play the drums, and that I've been doing for almost as long as dancing. I'm an artist, I'm super organized. I worked at a coffee shop for a few months back home, so I have experience there.

Really, really leaning towards music and dance for employment, but for now I guess I can't be too picky, huh?

Just let me know if you have anything, okay? I'll come to you for a face-to-face interview. If I'm stuck here, and I'd greatly rather not be, but if I am...I gotta take care of myself somehow, right?

[ And that's the end of her video. She's going to stop recording now, waving slightly beforehand before closing and waiting for replies. ]

[ Really, Gwen? Really? That's how you're gonna be, huh? ]

[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....

[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.]

When: Now?
Where: Fayren
Warnings: Game of Thrones destruction/death themes.

( I serve my queen... )

[Anakin is quick on his feet, striding from the docks as if he does this everyday. He can't allow himself to be weak or confused; he has to keep his feet firmly planted and then, in private, panic later.]

This is one hell of a welcome. [He scowls darkly and there are shadows around his eyes as if he has spent many nights not sleeping.] I'm not anyone's prisoner. If you think you can hold me, you are sorely mistaken.

[The flash of his lightsaber can be seen - his one remedy for the horror that is bearing down on him.]

(Leaving the Dream Docks...)

( Cut for Season 8 spoilers. )

(Video)

(This is hard for her to do and her voice is a hoarse rasp when she speaks the words.)

If a man named Jon Snow finds his way here, I want to see him immediately.

(To kill him; to condemn him; to scream at him - she doesn't know. Her love is still there, but she is in agony. He had been the last straw to bring her shell crumbling down.)

Avoid the Dream Docks if you can.

Who: Anybody!
What: Rip wanted a moonlit beach party for her birthday, so that's what she's getting.

Where: Fayren beach

Mid-day May 17, a simple text message gets sent to the network:

Moonlight Beach Party
TONIGHT
Fayren
Bring Your Own Booze and Music

( The stars are everywhere, so meet us under there~ )

How hard is it to start a side business? People have been curious about my jewelry so its something to consider.

[The feed finally cuts, only for Papyrus to...]

Action, all around the world.

---

[...Make good on his promise. Papyrus busily asserts himself all across every sixth of Genessia, zooming around as fast as his busy legs will carry him. The jawbone's getting a nice workout too.]

VOTE FOR PAPYRUS!! HAVE A BUTTON! WHERE'S YOUR BABY FOR ME TO KISS? OH, YOU DON'T HAVE ONE? THAT'S OKAY, I'M SURE YOU CAN FIND ONE SOMEWHERE!!

[And that's the routine. Find a stranger, hand them a piece of campaign paraphernalia, tape a flier, shout a self-aggrandizing slogan, and repeat. Who knew politics could be so much fun? and loud]

(She isn't looking her best. A few dragon hatchlings wander around her feet, but she can only give them a weak smile.)

My brother...isn't here any longer. (Some of his armor is beside her, cracked from the blow that had taken his life. She runs her fingers over the breaks, closing her eyes.) My classes will be postponed until next week.

video;

[ Souji takes a serious demeanor, only it is intended to try not to alarm or scare much beyond enough proof those residing in every city in Genessia. ]

It is best to be prepared for any possible outcome. Protection is needed.

[ He really took the brief blackouts out of nowhere as some kind of omen. If Hijikata was here he would do a better job organizing a defense, but this will do, he thinks. ]

private text to Tomoe Himura;

Good day Tomoe-san! It is time for me to leave the Commonspace. I'll be going to Amatsu today.

Action at Fairy Haven
[Allen had left the bedroom door open in Fairy haven seems somewhat out of it. His right was holding what appeared to be a piece of paper. He soon placed it down still just staring down at the papers.]

H-How did this happen? 100,000 redbills in debt. I don't even remember any of this, but it has my name on it. [Guess whose goat forged his signature and ended up with a mountain of debt? This guy. It wasn't long before he was leaning over, hands laying on the table of papers and his head bowed somewhat with defeat. He had no idea how he could pay this off quickly and actually afford to feed himself.]

1-100,000 red bills...Debt... Why now when I haven't had to pay off any debt in a year? [He shook his head briefly before looking up. he wasn't happy, but it was now something he had to deal with as he soon moved to leave the room. Deep in thought.]

I guess I could repay back the help of that group... Maybe go to a couple gambling places a night...

Anon Text
I... have a question. Say... one's goat before they went got one into serious debt problems are there any quick jobs one has that I can do?

I am already doing my two jobs, but I kind of need to do more to put a dent into paying it off and being able to feed myself. I'm not outing who I am currently because I do not know what is out there.

(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.

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. ]
