get the lame ass part out of the way first, im manjiro sano, go by mikey, the owner of the gigantic dojo near the farm and also the reason why sometimes you hear a motorbike around aldrip

so. shitty times and the way i would usually deal with it aint available so heres what im thinking
beginning of the next month, in front of the sano dojo, fighting tournament. two categories - powered and non-powered, but if you're powered and your skill or wtv can be null in battle like yall who got personas and the fuck else, you can join either category, but just one.

ill randomly select whos fighting who in the first round and then the winners fight in the second round and so it goes until someone wins. one winner per category

no fkn idea of the prize. accepting suggestions

ill keep the dojo open afterhours this month for whoever wants to practice. and if u are my student and u sign up and dont make top 5

i dont wanna be u training next month

Good evening, everyone! After the month we've all had, it feels a little bit foolish to get straight back to the dreary mundanity of businesses and job opportunities, doesn't it? But life goes on, and so do we.

[ Even on camera, his smile gleams. On camera is a handsome young man, curls tamed and gelled back with tan skin and startlingly green eyes -- and dripping with more easy confidence than anyone really ought to. Behind him is a familiar sight to anyone who's been here for some time: an apothecary, stuffed to the gills with hanging bundles of plants and herbs, jars and concoctions and tins lining the the walls. Claude himself is dressed casually, in a plain white linen shirt that he nonetheless seems to wear like it's the same as his fineries. ]

For those who haven't yet had the pleasure of making my acquaintance, the name's Claude von Riegan, and I am the humble proprietor of the local Apothecary. Some of you might be aware that we suffered something of a setback a couple months ago, but I've never been one to sneeze at that sort of thing. We've rebuilt things bigger and better than ever!

And to that end... I'm hiring! I'm in need of more hands to tend to my greenhouse, to embark out into the wilderness to continue investigating the local flora and, of course, an apprentice or two to learn the tricks of the trade to keep things going even if I'm not here to do it.

[ If he dies or disappears, he means, but he has no interest in addressing something so terribly dreary. ]

I have only one caveat: if you're working in the fields or the greenhouse, I don't much care what you think of the people here. But if you're to work at the Apothecary proper, I'm firm on one rule: no matter how much we may debate about the, uh... nature of those around us who aren't us Chosen, as far as I'm concerned, they're people. Regardless of their attitudes towards us, your job as Apothecarist is to help them, no ifs, ands, or buts. We help those in need. No exceptions, even if you regard them as nothing more than bits of code. [ A beat. ] Unless I personally dislike you.

Kidding, kidding! And for the rest of you who aren't interested in work, I hope to see you at my establishment soon. These expansions won't pay for themselves!

[ He gives a little wave to the camera before swiftly cutting the feed. Toodles! ]

mightymorphin

[It's a rare video post from Morph, starting with a selfie-style shot of their smiling face, and a distant view of trees behind them.]

I still can't believe it happened, but my home showed up? And it's not a half-burnt, demolished ruin like the last time I saw it. Here, take a look.

[Then they turn the camera to show that they're standing on a driveway that leads up to a literal mansion which is as promised, intact and very non-destroyed looking.]

This is Xavier's School for 'Gifted' Youngsters. A full tour would be pretty boring, but there is something here that you absolutely have to see.

( Read more... )

(OOC: The X-Mansion now exists in-game! Here is the info page, and a log for checking out the mansion will be going up a little later.)

[The recording started with Sora's frowning face, the camera moving as she tried to set her phone. Then she smiled. Waving at the camera.]

Hello everyone! [Then it was back to frowning.] Um, does anyone have advice for budgets? I've got a job now. But it's hard to keep track of everything.

And it seems like food is more expensive at the market since everything with the terminals.

[Or the shops she'd been buying from had been giving her freebies. Or it was something else...]

Hey there!

[They have no idea whether or not this is the right greeting to use after a pseudo-apocalypse and reset of a simulation, but it seemed less stiff than "Hello," slightly more professional than "Hi," and much better than "Howdy."]

I've been thinking about putting together either some sort of job placement agency or a group of people who can find things and deliver them as needed. I can actually do some of the finding on my own right now, but... it's just me, so simple jobs are preferred.

If anyone's interested, you can contact me or drop by the coordinates I've linked in here. Looking forward to working with you.

[As mentioned, the coordinates are attached--leading to the place they've been staying for now. It's no Office, but hopefully this will pay any bills that may or may not come up in the future. Maybe. Possibly.]

manifestering

Hello
If we have not met my name is Octavian
I am an alchemist and as always I am accepting small amounts of blood for a personal project

But that is beside the point

[Just, you know, getting it out of the way that he's always on the hunt for blood samples to save, anyway—]

The point is during our mutual excursions to maintain the integrity of this world
In the ruins I was set upon by a manner of vision
Very abrupt
not entirely welcome
In the water I experienced memories that were not my own
Something about a breed of serpentine people
Where are they
?

The recollection suggested they were not always serpents but perhaps once like us
A group brought to this place and changed
Was this previously known
and
has anyone else experienced these visions
?

[ooc; totes encourage threadjacking for sharing purposes!!]

unprimed

[Tendi looks thoughtful, maybe even a little concerned. When she speaks, it's a bit stilted, as if she's rehearsed this. Very Serious. Anyway.

... ... ... there is first a deep sigh. And then:]

Hello, humans of Aldrip. I know there's a lot going on, but I have a question for all of you. For science.

[Is she really going to ask this??? Yep. She is. She's really going for it. Here goes nothing.]

Please tell me about your body hair. Also, where and when you're from. Again, this is for science. [ahem] Thank you.

[there is context here, i swear]

wasn't me

[ Aaand that's all he's got to say about it. ]

giraffic

There's no fucking way this works--

[ the tablet is set up in some basic room, Ellie's face way too close to it as she gets it set up, and still. she handles it with the utter lack of finesse of someone who's never experienced technology before. it immediately falls over, enjoy watching her sideways.

she's practically shouting. ]

Hey! Does this work? Can you guys hear me? Someone said I could talk to, like, everyone on this. Hellooooo? Houston, we have a problem, over. Uhhh...Echo five-niner? Testing 1, 2?

Okay, whatever, but if you can hear this, what the fuck is 'manslaughter'?

[ she's trying to sit it back up ]

I mean I shot some dudes, but they deser--

[ aaaaand it's accidentally shut off, thanks for coming to her TED talk ]

endcaller

[The feed opens with a view of a metallic ceiling illuminated by blue light as the tablet is moved around; followed by the pale face of a man in a hood. The movement suggests he is crouching down to set the tablet against something. Once it is in place, apparently on the floor but propped up, he walks forward a few paces and settles himself against a wall lined with neon lights. Despite their glare, he doesn't cast a shadow.]

Good morrow to you, my dearest fellow Chosen!

On a scale from one to ten, one being "abysmal" and ten being "I've had better", how has your week been?

[A thin, joyless smile creeps across his lips as he tilts his head.]

Mine has been filled with peril and adventure! Some of you may know that we are not the only civilization on this star. There are others.

I traveled to the nearest settlement, Rumpitur, to see with my own eyes whether these... "glitches" as we've been calling them plagued them as well. Alas, I was not able to observe much. Whenever I passed the town's borders my being was warped back to the outside. At times I was warped quite far.

I did, eventually, decide to speak with the guards but--

[There is a sharp crash of thunder from nearby, the suddenness makes him wince. After a moment of concerned silence, he stands up, smooths his hands down his robe, and walks away. For several seconds the camera shows the blank floor of an empty room, and then a small, square robot whirs into frame. Some might recognize it as a welcome robot.

Its screen lights up with text, each line appearing within a few seconds of each other.

HELLO, CHOSEN.

MASTER HAS BEEN SAD.

WHEN HE COMES BACK...

WISH HIM A HAPPY BIRTHDAY.

There are footsteps and Fandaniel's throaty lilt breaks the silence.]

I believe I just saw the ground outside boil, freeze, and sublimate all at once. Marvelous!

[His boots step into view in front of the robot.]

Hyperetes, what are you telling people?

[The robot beeps.]

I see, how terribly inappropriate. Thank you.

[Hyperetes wheels away as Fandaniel sits himself back down.]

Now, where was I before I so rudely interrupted myself?

Ah! Yes, the snake folk.

Well, my conversation with the guards was not illuminating so much as mortifying. If I attempted to broach any topic of substance they...

[How can he even explain it? He waves a hand in the air and giggles.]

This entire world is coming apart at the seams. Truly, it feels as though the Final Days are upon us. We're all going to die screaming.

[This observation doesn't seem to bother him much.]

Good afternoon,

If I may: what are some activities that those ages 14-18 enjoy engaging in here?
If you're in that age range, or have been in the past, what was a typical day like at home for you at that time?

Are you employed here? If so, what is it you do? Does it align with your skills and interests? Did you have any experience when you began it?

Thank you for any answers you can provide.

startraveler

Hello everyone! ヾ(*'▽'*)

For those of you who don't know me yet - I'm Aether, a simple traveler who doesn't travel that much at the moment. To remedy this, I was wondering if anyone would be willing to share stories with me!

Tell me about your travels! Is there a place you miss? A place you really enjoyed visiting? Or maybe a place that you wanted to go to, but never got a chance?

In exchange, I offer an ear to listen.

...I can also help you out if you need a hand with anything <(︶▽︶)>

opheliac
