Doctrine of Exposure | Video | UN: The One Who Waits

[It is 3am when the video goes live. At first it is dark wherever this is taking place. The camera moves through a dark wide open hall. The arms of a stone statue, outstretched, can be seen for only a moment. That is until it turns to a doorway. Light slices through the darkness like a blade as the camera moves in to show two figures hunched together in front of an open refrigerator.

One is the Lamb, who is chewing and eating some sort of meat from a container.

The other is the Goat, eating moldy strawberries out of a plastic container.

Both look over at the same time, their eyes almost glowing in the darkness. The light on the camera flashes as the video saves a picture of the two together, staring at the one who has caught them late night/early morning snacking.

The Goat hisses.]

It is 3 hours past the witching hour. The Lamb is devouring monster meat. The Goat is eating moldy strawberries. These are our leaders.

[Narinder's tone is deadpan and clearly tired.]

[The Goat SCREAMS.]

[The Lamb stares with an expression that can only be read as ?????? in facial form and munches faster.]

THE SOUNDS OF YOUR HOOVES WOKE ME UP!

[Narinder screams back and ends the video.]

((OOC: Responses can and will come from Narinder, the Goat, and the Lamb.))

Hello, Ellipsa!

I have made the decision to make a PSA. Today, I will introduce to everyone someone you should all become friends with.

( cut for image )

See that cute girl right next to me - you know, the shorter one!! Her name is Firefly, and she's one of the sweetest girls I know! She likes oak cake rolls and seeing new things, but she's also a bit shy, so I'd like for her to meet new people. You wouldn't say no to that face, would you?

[OOC: While Stelle has posted this without Firefly's permission (ICly), you may get responses from Firefly in the comments, so consider this a potential two-for-one!]

video; un: haagentus

All right, this is the first test drive!

[Guizhong is somewhere on the outskirts of Nightwake City - the landscape and weather mark it as between the spring and summer segments - and she levels the camera carefully on the front of what looks like a... small, one-person airship with an engine (a little like a modified Manacutter).

It definitely looks like something she somehow cobbled together, but the engine is running and it appears to be working.]

I wanted to make this public so I could get some opinions about what I could improve.

[She hops on board. The engine revs, and then--

Guizhong yelps audibly as the whole vehicle shoots forwards without her, giving the image of the woman flipping head over heels and landing in a heap as the airship zooms ahead several metres before losing altitude, hitting a rock, and toppling over. There's a couple of moments of silence before Guizhong's voice pipes up again, gaining volume as she closes in on her device.]

I'm all right..! I'm all right. Wow! That was exciting.

['Exciting' is probably not the correct word.]

Never mind opinions. I think I need a mechanic.

Does anyone have advice for if your Pokemon hates everyone that isn't you or your other Pokemon and is way overly protective of you? I've tried talking to Frills about it, but he's stubborn. He bit Porty. He was mean to Mecchan.

[An agitated bubbling noise in the background.]

I do not have no standards, you just hate people. -Anyway, any help with this would be great, thank you.

Video | UN: MelodyMania

[The video starts with Max lounging outside in Dayrise somewhere. His feet are up and he's sipping a drink with a little umbrella in it. He looks to the camera and grins.]

So! We always have new people coming on in and I know some of you at the Charity Auction were trying to win my services. Figured what better time to introduce myself and offer said services.

I'm Maximillian Victor Davis. You can call me Max or Mr. Davis, if you like.

I grant wishes. For a price, of course. If it is within my power to give, I do. And trust me, I can do quite a lot.

So! If you are interested in talking shop. Do you need something? Want something? Wanna refinance that bargain you made with someone else? Hit me up.

This musical fae god is just a call away and so are your wishes coming true.

The price range, you ask? Since I know some of you are like; but what's it cost?

I charge on a sliding scale of how much your wish is worth to you. So it can range from a small minor favor to you selling me your soul. But don't worry. I haven't bought anyone's souls here in Ellipsa. Yet.

Chat with you soon~

[ SecUnit is still posting things that are just text on a screen. It's replies would mostly be that as well, sorry. ]

Honest question; if someone is choosing to finish a contractually obligated quest with you, would you tell them to turn back? Because I find that to be a very dickish move. It would be like saying, "I don't care if you violate your contract, I am going to finish this quest without you". I mean, I get that there are a lot of humans who are capable of a lot more than the humans in my world were capable of when it comes to things like fighting or protecting themselves. But it just seems like a rude thing to say.

Text; un: D6

Originally I wasn't gonna do an introduction and just let everyone have the misfortune of meeting me organically. I know it's possible that I've been here before and I've grown really fond of running into people who already know me after all!

You know, let the recognition settle in followed by that, "Oh great it's him," feeling crawl up their spine? （‾‸◝）;;
Agonize over the fact that they took two seconds too long and now I've spotted them and they can't escape another unpleasant encounter with me? ε=ε=(っ*´□`)っ
And then I get to watch their expressions change as they try to figure out wtf I'm talking about or if they can escape or how quickly they can strangle the life out of me!
I've nearly been eaten by a landshark before! ヾ( •́д•̀ ;)ﾉ
It's always a riot! (*≧▽≦)ﾉｼ))

Buuuuut seeing as I suck at my powers and most of you are probably pretty good at yours, I decided I'm not gonna risk my life.

So Oma Kokichi, here! That's Kokichi Oma in western order for weirdos who refer to people that way.

If you've met me before, forget whatever he ever told you because he's nothing but a liar, okay? I guarantee you nothing he ever said was important or true.
Yes, I am also a liar, but as I am the current Oma-chan here I now rank higher than him in the Official Oma Kokichi Knock Down Drag Out Battle Royale for the Crown! So my lies are way more important and always true!
(*•̀ᴗ•́*)و ̑̑
For anyone who hated past me feel free to continue hating current me because that probably won't change www

And with that out of the way I've got a couple of super important questions because today is a super important day.
1: Where is the best place to get hot coffee around here? (There IS coffee here right?)
2: Which authors in this world write the best mystery books? I'll accept anything in the genre of mystery, though something with detectives would be preferred~
3: Is there anywhere to get a dessert that isn't too sweet but not too bitter either?

I might have more later, maybe not.

Anyway, sooooo nice to meet you all, I hope we can be friends~
( ˘ ³˘)❤

I looked at the calendar and realized that it's been over half a year since I first got here. I'm the only one from my world here, and while I don't mind being by myself, it's different.

And the people that I care about and know back home... it's strange, the idea of knowing people here more than I've known them.

So what do you do, in a situation like that?

Video; UN: Cute&Savage

[Zoey leaned into the glow of her phone screen, fingers hovering over the “Record” button. Her notebook lay open beside her, filled with scribbles, half-formed lyrics, and melodies only she could hear. She tapped her pen against the pages, humming softly, letting the beat build. The video starts with a brief glimpse at a page titled 'New Dawn' and is one of her current works in progress.

She continues tapping, bobbing her head along to a catchy beat that can barely be heard from her headphones, as text begins flashing across the screen.]

🎤✨ Late nights, coffee, and a notebook full of scribbles… this is where the magic happens. I’ve been diving deep into new lyrics and melodies, pouring everything into songs that I can’t wait to share with you all. 🎶💖

[Several pages turn another pair of songs, 'He Who Waits' and 'In Your Eyes', momentarily appear though not long enough to reveal much unless one were to pause the video.]

And guess what… there's something special on the horizon 👀🔥! Sneak peek: think bigger stages, wild choreography, and some surprises that will make your hearts race. 🖤💎

[The pages finally stope landing on one last song 'Bloom Again']

Every word, every note… it’s all for you. Can you feel the energy building? 🌙⚡

[Finally Zoey looks at the feed flashing a smile speaking for the first time and making a heart with her fingers.]

See you guys soon!

[The feed then ends as Zoey closes the notebook and Huntr/x logo and hastags pop up.]

text; un: falin

Hello, everyone! My name is Falin Touden and I need your help. Um, I recently took over the position of gravekeeper at the Abandoned Graveyard. You may or may not know, but there’s been a spot of trouble with Amalgam Skeletons; they’ve been taken care of now, but I would like to take care of the cause of this problem. To that end, I want to dry the flooded part of the cemetery and reinforce it to prevent future flooding — and that is exactly what I need your help with. Here is the gist of the plan:

cut for details; click here to see

• A team of Ellipsan engineers has already drawn up the blueprints for the flood wall and the, um, I think it’s called a dry pond…? A-anyway, they already have an idea for what needs to be built, but if anyone here happens to be familiar with this sort of construction, please let me know and I will get you in touch with them so you can maybe offer feedback…!

• Otherwise, we will need seasonal power holders, the more, the better, to keep the lakewater at bay, build the flood wall, and reinforce that part of the graveyard. Any season will help, so please know that we will still be very glad to have you even if your powers have nothing to do with water or earth. The engineers will tell you exactly what to do once you’re here. Oh, and one more thing — everyone who shows up to help will be compensated, courtesy of the Autumn Guild; we know your time is valuable and we don’t want to ask you to donate it for free!

• The work will be carried out on the 4th of October. I will be here — in the graveyard, I mean — from dawn until late into the night, but you can show up whenever is convenient for you and stay however long you want — there is no minimum or maximum amount of work that you can do. The engineers think one day should be enough if a few people show up, but many hands make light work, so…!

• If you plan to attend, first of all, thank you very much! I appreciate it tremendously and I know so do the dead, and the living too! Um, secondly, you may confirm it here, or you can simply show up the day of.

It would mean the world to me to get this done, but I can’t do it on my own, which is why I’m asking for your help. Thank you so much for considering it, and for your time! Um, please feel free to contact me if you have any questions, or need anything at all…!

OOC: This will just be a little open mingle log that I’ll put up on October 4th. Come get muddy and do a good deed for the dead!
