I want to start with a brief apology for this being an anonymous post. But there are several factors that are, in a way, forcing my hand.

~~[she's looking at you Viktor]~~

Despite that, I will answer anything you inquire with sincerity and knowledge I am privy to. Answering this anonymously in return is acceptable.

My question is, perhaps for many people here, quite simple: What is magic to you?

The follow-up questions that you can answer, but don't have to, are: How do you control it? Do you have a trigger for it, like heightened emotions and danger-sense? Or does it come from understanding and logic? Did you learn it? Or were you born into it?

I appreciate any and all insights you can provide me with.

[ The video opens to a shot of Gwen walking through the snowy streets of Aldrip. She's got a black beanie on, and a pink hoodie which matches the pink tips of her blonde hair, over which she has put a denim jacket. The jacket has some homemade pride flag patches sewn into it. She walks casually through the street, filming herself selfie-style with her earbuds tucked into her ears. ]

So, the city's really gearing up for this Day of Devotion stuff, huh? Not to mention Valentine's gotta be coming up, if I've got the calendar right...

[ She mutters something under her breath, barely able to be caught up by the microphone. Something about sliding timelines? ]

Anyway, with all this love in the air, I thought maybe there should be an opportunity for those of us who aren't into that whole dating'n'love scene to hang out and have some singles solidarity! And I don't mean in a "woe is me, no one will date me so I'm sad and alone!" type solidarity. I mean "solo and loving it, don't come around here for kisses" type stuff.

So, yeah. If anyone is interested, hit up your friendly neighborhood aroace icon Gwen! I'm pretty sure I'm the only Gwen left in town, so if you were friends with Gwen Stacy, uh... Sorry I'm your sloppy seconds?

Also, if you know of a good location for this Totally Platonic Palentine's Day hangout sesh, let me know that, too, because right now the only plan is fitting everyone into my inn room, and depending on how many people want to show up, that might be a bit uncomfortable.

[Rosen was originally intending to avoid discussing his experiences visiting other people's dreams. That was until he began to reflect on some of the dreams he experienced and their underlying meaning. This explains why, for the first time in quite some time. Rosen is back on the big screen, appearing a little less cheerful and aggressive than before.

That's why he appears on video within the hustle and bustle of some fancy cafe. He's dressed in a seemingly tailored dark blue suit, minus the shirt, with his long white hair combed back and out of his eyes.]

Dreams are fickle, aren't they? Whether good or bad, the dreams we have are significantly more essential than we know. They reveal the truth about ourselves, frequently admonishing our fears while celebrating our victories.

Each dream you have is significant, whether you recognize it or not.

So...

[He pauses for a brief moment, clearly struggling to find the right words to say.]

I suppose what I'm trying to say is that you should think hard about your dreams and try to figure out what you fear or love about yourself. Dreams have a lot of importance, and some of you should sit down and consider what they mean to you.

Good afternoon, this is Mitsuru Kirijo. For those who don't already know, I have just opened a new establishment, House of Leaves. It's a combination of tea shop and book store. I was considering hosting a book club at the shop. It will be held on a fortnightly basis, in the evenings, after closing time. There will, of course, be refreshments for those concerned about that. Please let me know if you are interested. I will also gladly accept suggestions for reading material.

sorry to interrupt the celebrating the snow or whatever you do but if this place can bring creatures from our homes here you guys should probably know to look out for infected

long story short, infected are like zombies except the cordyceps fungus is a mushroom growing in your brain and they're technically still alive. don't think about it too hard.

its spread through spores, bites, and scratches if there's blood or saliva or something in it. when infected die naturally, they attach to stuff and release spores. do not breathe in the fucking spores. you WILL get infected and you WILL turn within 2 days. wear a mask.

there's 4 stages.

[ just to be helpful, each stage comes with a little drawing done by Ellie herself. she's not half bad but i am, so please refer to the wiki page, cw for body horror. ]

stage 1 -> runner, newly infected. fast, aggressive, strong. get the jump on them when they are quiet. can be killed like any non-infected, strangled, shot, etc. you might hear them crying or mumbling when they're not trying to murder you. it's creepy as fuck but you can't help them.

stage 2 -> stalker. the fungus starts growing out of them but they can still see, they'll hide and ambush when your guard is down. they can attach to walls and pretend to be dead just to fuck your shit up when you turn your back. they work with the other infected too.

stage 3 -> clicker. you can't miss them, the mushrooms are bursting out of their skull. clickers suck ass. they're blind, but that just means they're hearing if stupidly good. distract with bricks, bottles, any other object that will make noise, then sneak past. the best chance to kill one is a gunshot to the head twice, or a shiv to the neck.

stage 4 -> bloater. covered in plates of cordyceps. infected a long time, huge, deadly, throw acidic spore-filled sacks. AVOID AT ALL COSTS. seriously. they take like 5 molotov and a million nail bombs and bullets to kill. just fucking run. these fuckers WILL pull your head right off your body by the time you get a single plate off of them. i don't give a shit how strong or magic you are, they WILL fuck you up and it'll be your own fault.

i haven't seen any so far, but just one can bring down everything. if you see one, tell me.

as FEDRA likes to say, inaction costs lives.

WHY ARE FROGS SHOOTING AT ME
WHICH ONE OF YOU GAVE THE FROGS EXPLOSIVES

traumaticus

[Well, well. Look at that, Richard is actually using video feed instead of the usual text when addressing the network. He's indoors, sitting in front of big wooden table and there is stern yet controlled expression on his face. And when he speaks there is an air of noble dignity to his voice:]

Greetings, my fellow Chosen. My name is Richard Plantagenet. Some of you know who I am either from organizing the communal training sessions and from the Inn. However, I am sad to inform you that this time I am not here with such pleasant news as hosting a new party.

I believe it is unnecessary to go through the recent events in detail, we all were there and have had even someone to step forward to claim responsibility for the horrors of the prolonged night. This has now been the second violent threat against our city that I have witnessed. And from what I have heard from the veterans of this world there has been several more in the past. And I don't know about the rest of you but I think we have been left vulnerable for far too long.

So, I'll keep this as brief as possible.

I wish for anyone who is capable to come forward and join me in forming a defensive body that will be ready to respond to crises and other adversaries that we might face. There is a lot to do around the city, from strengthening our defenses, to find alternative communication solutions. Relying solely on these devices clearly has proven out to be faulty.

Of course, I'll continue to train self-defense, the swordmanship, archery and basic survival skills to anyone who is willing to learn. However, the invitation is open to all, whether you are fighter or not. There will be needing healers, those with more technical knowledge and who're fluent in science. I am well aware of my own weakness in that area -- after all, I am from the time period that could be considered 'medieval.' [God, how he hates that word.] Likewise people who are skilled strategists and have experience in leadership are welcomed. No helping hands will be turned away.

The last time I approached you all with similar proposition, I was met with suspicion that I was trying to form an army. However, I swear to you that it is not the case here. I am not looking for training soldiers nor positioning myself above the rest of you. I am merely asking for your help with ensuring making Aldrip safer to all of us.

There are already existing factions and those who'd rather keep their work private. But as long as we are separated and working without proper communication among ourselves we are no better than headless chicken running around. We are strongest when we are together. I for one, will be doing my own part to make sure there'll be no more unnecessary bloodshed among our numbers, with or without your help.

Thank you all for your time.

1. How hard does this place go with simulating bodily functions? We have to eat and expel waste, but do we menstruate? Get colds? Get infections? Get cancer? Get pregnant?

2. If our robot overlord is all about crime and punishment, what happens if we kill someone here?

[ It has been a couple of weeks now since the successful reset of the terminals. Now, the same voice that was heard trying to rally them all to that task, tired and thick with a Slavic accent, has come to speak over the network once again. ]

Greetings, my friends. Miller here. First of all, I wanted to thank everyone who assisted in our efforts to restore this place to its former self. If it was not for all your cooperation, I am certain things would have gone very differently. It is thanks to all of you that we are still alive.

[ He's proud, really. The change from when he first arrived in this place has been immense. ]

Which is why it is my hope that we can keep this spirit of camaraderie going. There has already been a lively discussion of the visions we encountered at the terminals. Now that it has become clear that there is truly no safe space to hide from the prying eyes of the "Council," I wish to propose a forum for us all to continue sharing information.

[ The creation of the Dark Web was an innovation, to say the least... but can one even really call that secure when the entire world they live in is simulated? Where he's concerned, it's time to be forthright. ]

Allow me to begin with this. I was summoned to the courtroom. Yes – the courtroom. I only recall the inside of the building, but I presume it's one and the same as the new structure in the city center. I have been part of this experiment for eight months now and it is my first time seeing this Jerry face to face. But I can't be the only one who, up until now, seemed to have forgotten that he even existed? So, please... I would like to hear all of your thoughts.

I don't know about all of you, but I didn't try to save that artificial intelligence because I wanted to go back to putting my head in the sand!

( ooc: so long as it's cool with both parties, feel free to threadjack to discuss amongst yourselves! )

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! ]

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
?

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.

Salutations to all The Chosen of Aldrip,

My name is Richard Plantagenet, the Duke of Gloucester of England and the son of Duke of York. My time in this world may be merely a blink of an eye compared to some of you who have been residing here for over a full calendar year, experiencing the change of all four seasons under the sky. However, during my brief stay I have come to notice that there are plenty of wrongs in this world, which threatens the peace of our lives here. Now, some of these wrongs might be out of our control, such as the afflictions plaguing our environment. Or the activities of the council. However, this does not mean that we are completely powerless.

It has come to my attention that thee has been a several times when we have been faced with a violent threat and an attack, be it from monstrous creature from the depths of the ocean or a curse spreading among ourselves. I fully believe that we, as a community, could benefit from organizing ourselves so that we might be prepared when the next crisis arrives to our doorsteps.

I call forward anyone with any combat training, be it from military training, self-taught or magically oriented, and share their knowledge to those who might lack skills in self-defense. It is not in my intention to position myself as a leader, nor a raise an army, but to strengthen our teamwork and cooperation as a community. I am myself experienced knight who fought and served my king in a civil war known as War of Roses, and currently I'm learning the usage of firearms under the tutelage of Mr. Valentine. I am willing to train and pass down my knowledge to anyone who is willing to learn. However, I am aware that I am out of my depths and that many of you possesses abilities both as fighters and as tacticians that I could not even fathom. Which is why I sincerely hope those individuals to answer my call and step forward and help create a safer city.

Signed,
Richard Plantagenet, The Duke of Gloucester

murderingjustice

has anyone else paid attention to the lack of activity around the city hall as of late? this is usually the time when our beloved warden Jerry begins to make his rounds.

[... And that's it? Huh. Surprisingly brief and non-intrusive post from him.]

coolerjunpei

[Hey gang, it's Junpei, filming in vertical because he's a terrible millennial. He's at the inn, sitting at a table with a stupid-looking projector which he drums his fingers on occasionally.]

Uh, hey, soooo... that shit all sucked, huh? Yeah. Really did not expect "kill everyone now because I, the mysterious mastermind, said so" would happen a third time.

[To him, personally. He's too new to know if that happened a bunch of times previously here in Aldrip, so that's a Junpei Original as far as he knows. He's including Gnos infection as A Mastermind, it makes sense to him.]

Anyway, whatever, right? Look, I borrowed— this thing, [shakycams down to the projector, whoaoaoao] and it's kind of my birthday this week, so y'know, calling all people who said they wanted to watch some shitty movies...? And good movies, too, I guess.

[A beat.]

I mean, I just thought that movie night thing could be... fun. After the bullshit. If anybody wants to come watch some stuff, in a park or something? Like a drive-in! Get a bunch of snacks and hang out.

...Also, I need someone to help me hang up a sheet.

[He will be watching movies in the park by himself if he must!!]

mightymorphin

soooo I'm new here and I'm pretty sure I need a job???

Skills: good in a fight, great celebrity impressions*, great sense of humor
Previous jobs: Blockbuster, other stuff that I wasn't getting paid for but was pretty intense
Must: not care about my looks, pretty sure that's employment discrimination anyway

* = Celebs from Earth circa 1997 or before, but if you have a picture I'll be halfway there

I haven't had to write a resume in like 6 or 7 years but if anyone could send me a template I could use it!! thanks!

Also looking for: 
there's a buddy of mine who might not be here, but just in case. he's short, muscly and hairy, and has a grumpy attitude. he might have been injured but I already had help checking the hospitals, so otherwise you're more likely to find him in a bar. reference attached! 

( Read more... )

heartstopping

[Rolo doesn't bother with the anonymity of text for once, nor the innocent civilian teen act. He can't bring himself to care right now. Why bother maintaining a decent reputation, why try to build a life? There's no point anymore. Not for him, anyway.

He sits with a flat expression, idly fiddling with the charm dangling from his phone.]

There is no Council. The sentencing room is empty and it doesn't look like it's ever even been used. Whatever's in control of this aren't people. It's no wonder blowing the building up didn't do anything.

[His fingers still on the little locket charm, and then squeeze it tightly.]

If anyone has any ideas on how to kill something without a physical body, I'm listening.
