[The video kicked in mostly on accident when she bumped the bracelet in the process of whatever it was that she was doing. If you were in Mimirhaus, condolences for your valentine's day celebrations, because the whole place reeked of burning chocolate. Smoke was pouring out of the pot as Terezi freaked out.]

Glob damnit, stop doing that! That's not what the directions say your supposed to do! Melt you ... AUGH!

[She grabbed for some water and started pouring it in, creating a cloud of horrendous black smoke that erupted from the pot and sent her hacking and coughing back. Only as she said this did she notice that the feed was on. Her face went furiously teal and she practically shouted in desperation.]

How do you make this chocolate stuff in the first place!?!?

[...sorry Namine. Your moirail is NOT a cook.]

[ The feed opens up to a shot of one rather lanky goth dressed in black who is currently sitting inside of a room that's a cross between a rather nice office and a comfy living room. While a certain dynamic duo are fighting just outside of view about paint colors, he seems perfectly at ease to ignore them, even if he kinda sorta has broken into the place they are painting a sign on. ]

I know that the gods have said before that our influences on this place would often bring some our dangers with us, that we should not see this as our fault. However, I would like to issue an apology of sorts for the demons drawn here by my... family. We have always been magnets for such creatures; even in our home world they always found a way to bring Hell to us.

[ V stretches slightly, his lips curving into a small ironic smile even as the fight between blue and red paint sounds like it's getting pretty heated. Of course, that's before the fight is disturbed by a roar and something banging around. V ignores this as well. ]

As much as we wished otherwise, it has also come to our attention that our... particular brand of services are still needed. Even if there are not always demons for us to fight we can always lend our strength to other such battles, or help in training others. So. We are opening the family business to help both our growing community and to prevent any... disasters like the ones witnessed earlier that our existence has caused.

[ And through the open doorway comes a large black panther, streaks of red and blue paint coating the large cat and dripping onto the floor as he trots over and shoves a battered and half full can of paint into V's chest. There's a choked off Shadow! as the feed goes red as the can spills over, which renders the rest of this voice only. ]

Suffice to say, Devil May Cry has come to Asgard. Once the sign is finished, of course.

[Sora seems as happy as ever, probably excited about something or other again going by his usual timing of using the bracelet like this.....]

Hey guys! So, if I'm still figuring the timing about right, Valentines is coming up! I'm gonna make chocolates!

[No. Not just for his friends from home, either. Knowing Sora he probably faces that same thing with Christmas with wanting to do this for Everyone.......

Someone should really tell him to learn to calm it down. If that's even possible for him.]

Oh, right. Not everyone might get it. But, uh, Valentines is like a celebration of friends! Or more. If you have someone special! You get them flowers or chocolate and show you appreciate them! It's not as huge a thing as Christmas or anything, but. I still like it! And if I make too much chocolate, just means I can save some for later!

[So this is clearly just a win all around, right? Obviously.]

On the other hand, with my training lately, I figured I can do something else too! I don't think Riku was too thrilled though.... but I can help in fights by taking hits for others!

[......this is decidedly probably not something he should seem as thrilled about? But he is anyway. Because of course he is if it means he can help keep his friends safe.]

( though the network has consistently broadcast in the same rectangular box, those who tune in to this address will find that the display is not only wider, but curves around you from your 10-o'-clock to your 2-o'-clock - not that the gods are familiar enough with clocks to measure it as such.

it's a dramatic change, but a necessary one, as now the entirety of the pantheon stands or sits before you. unified, at least in this moment.

that's when ODIN begins to speak. )

sparkofgoodness

Soooo, that was unpleasant.

[ Crowley is recording while sat at a desk with a few books scattered around. It's clearly Odinhaus, to anyone who has been inside, and also clearly Aziraphale's to anyone who recognises it.

This is not especially a surprise to anyone else who lives there, given that his voice can probably be heard from somewhere in it nearly all the time. ]

Tree thing. Bad tree. Gnome thing, too, very weird -- wouldn't expect that of gnomes, kidnapping people and all. Thought they just hung around in gardens and looked after princesses.

[ Isn't that right? It's possible Crowley's information is, uh, irrelevant. ]

Anyway, speaking of trees -- I did learn something about the other tree. The, uh, main big tree.

[ The name has a lot of letters and he keeps getting it wrong ]

Big, important tree.

[ A sedate, if slightly frustrated background voice says Be clear you're talking about Yggdrasil. It's definitely Aziraphale's voice. ]

Yeah, that one. So, turns out the uh... whole... absorbing you without the bracelets thing might have something to it. Or, at least, the tree definitely does that -- I mean, less absorbing and more... unravelling you, sort of... permanently... from having ever existed. Little bit murkier on if it's definitely connected to the jewellery not being worn, but proving that seems... difficult.

[ 'Hey, do you mind taking off your bracelet to see if you get permanently deleted from history' seems a bit of a hard sell. ]

Anyway, interesting though. Weird, but interesting. Oh! Another thing --

[ Crowley turns his recording so there's a quick pan of some of the tiny room in Odinhaus. ]

Bit pokey, aren't they? These little dorm rooms. Feel like I'm in a budget hostel.

[ It isn't... that bad... ]

Has anyone moved out of these places? Must be other places you can live.

[ Aziraphale's voice pipes up again: Other places you might live where company is allowed overnight, he specifies. Crowley shoots him a slight frown off screen, tries to act relaxed about this correction. ]

Yeah, you know, places you don't get kicked out early.

[ Right. That. ]

madcuriosity

[It's late morning when Alice comes on, rubbing her eyes and yawning softly. All three of her kittens are purring and cuddling her, quite happy to see that she's, well, awake.

However, Alice has no idea she's been in a month-long coma. All she knows is that when she looked out the window...]

I beg your pardon, but where has all the snow gone? [A small little yawn.] There was so much of it just yesterday! It was several meters and now it seems to be much less! Which wouldn't be so terribly strange but I've never seen snow melt so quickly! Or do you suppose that that's quite common for Asgardian snow?

[Someone... might need to tell her she's been out of it for a month.]

demonicbeauty

[It's Ariadne posting, so no matter how carefully she's planned her speech, the first few moments of the feed are nothing but her fumbling with her bracelet, trying to properly get herself into the frame.

But there's something very new this time.

It's Ariadne.

Her face is the same as always, except for the fact that it's green. Green as the underside of a maple leaf. And her hair is candy-floss blue. So that's...not normal. And while some of you have seen this look on her, the vast majority have not. She's been careful. Maybe even paranoid.

And from the grimace on her face, she looks very, very guilty.]

So. I've been lying. For a very long time. I don't feel bad about it. Not exactly. But I never felt good about it either.

This...this is me. What I actually am. I'm Alastrian. We're harmless, really. And I would never hurt anyone. Even if I look...well...a little different. And I won't. I mean, it's just easier to look Human. But I wanted to tell the truth. Because I feel like I've been stealing someone's face. Because it looks like we're all going to be here a long time. And because...well. I guess I just wondered what it would be like to live a more honest life.

[She pauses, clearly a little overwhelmed by all of this.]

I'm sorry I lied.

sassery

It’s called a Qliphoth.

[A beat, and that’s a familiar sound of Nero gritting his teeth in annoyance.] The tree that Odin mentioned? Yeah, it’s a Qliphoth, and it’s bad news.

That… is an understatement. [ In contrast, V sounds somewhat bored, as if this is just very old news to him. ] The Qliphoth is a tree that grows in the Underworld. It thrives on human blood, and those within its path become no more than dust once it’s done with them.

[Nero sighs.] Back home, it basically destroyed an entire city in about a month- and demons were running all over when we came back to finish the job. So we can’t let it sit here, otherwise we’re gonna have even more problems than what we’ve had in the past. [Is that the sound of him grabbing a blade? Or setting the chamber of a gun? Porque no los dos! He’s getting ready, obviously. There’s humor in his tone though.]

And besides, Hell’s not that great a look for Asgard anyway.

Yet another understatement. You're remarkably reserved, Nero. All things considered. [ This may not be a voice very many recognize. Vergil doesn't care for humans and their nonsense — and that mostly includes the nonsense here. But, well. He lives here, so he has to care.

Unfortunate. ] The Qliphoth is a tree that grows in the Underworld, and as such will be infested with demons and their ilk. It must be destroyed. Allowing it to grow will result in an even greater infestation of creatures that want nothing more than wanton destruction and see humans as little more than food. I doubt this is something the rest of you will want.

While they are not a particularly bright species, some demons can be cunning. There may be.. challenges, in destroying the tree. [ There's a sigh from him. He's made this mistake once before. Surely this one isn't his fault, right? ] It should go without saying, but do not let them, or the tree roots, touch you. Human blood strengthens demons and will make them difficult to kill. You should kill them without remorse, since they will show you none.

There will be traps designed to harass and confuse the unwary. Demons that are more at home in the filth inside the Qliphoth will use this to their advantage as well. [ There’s a sound of a book flipping open and pages being turned. ] To get rid of the Qliphoth, there are nine seals that need to be found and removed. It’s… easy enough to take care of the seals themselves; it is the guardians of the seals that you may need to be wary of. Fortunately, demons may be deadly, but they are not invulnerable to normal steel. Otherwise demon hunting would not be as lucrative as it is… to some people. [ Is that a jab at Dante? Well, V would know just how much it cost to hire the demon hunter as well as how much of a mess his place looked during his brief time there. ]

Yeah, yeah. No time for details, the sooner we get out there to kick this thing’s ass, the sooner we’ll be out of trouble. [A beat as Nero quips back.] Besides, I don’t think anyone wants to hear the gruesome details of how gross this thing can be. [Because it is gross, there’s no denying that.]

Hey, Dante, you got any words of wisdom? [It’s a joke, and you can hear Dante speak up, though he sounds a bit further away from everyone else.]

Yeah, easiest advice is don’t get yourself killed! [This is followed by the slamming of a door, and one doesn’t have to see anything to know Nero’s balking at the fact that Dante’s just up and left already.]

Wh- hey! Where the hell are you- [SIGHS LOUDLY, THIS FUCKING FAMILY.] Jackass.

[ A slight snort of amusement at that. He agrees, just don't expect him to say it out loud. ] And there you have it. Words of wisdom from the legendary demon hunter himself. So. Stay on your toes, hit them hard and don't get killed. If need be we will attempt to assist you if we can, but otherwise don't get in our way. [ Is that steel in his voice? Well yes, it's personal after all. ]

[And sauntering past, hips a-swaying and with a toss of her hair, goes Trish, already armed and ready and in hot pursuit.]

And don’t forget to watch out for tentacles… they can be kind of handsy. Right, Vergil?

[ There's no response there, just a sigh, more footsteps, and the door closing again, though not as violently. Nero's family sucks. ]

[[Blue = Nero, green = V, light blue = Vergil, red = Dante, pink = Trish ;)]]

winscenario

[ The feed starts with Jim greeting the viewers with bright blue eyes and a smile. He’s at the farm, in what looks like an office he’s managed to put together, sitting at a desk with journals and various papers scattered across the surface. ]

Hello, Asgard. For those who don’t know me, I’m Captain James Kirk. That’s Klaus Hargreeves over there.

[ He motions behind him, to where Klaus is busy… doing something or other in the background. Klaus abandons whatever he’s doing to approach the desk and greet their viewers properly. ]

Hey, hi, hello! [ An enthusiastic fingergunning motion with the hand not holding a pen. ] So, I was talking to a friend of mine, uh, however long ago about how we really need something to tell the days apart. Like, obviously, we already know when it’s daytime and nighttime, even without having to go back to our godhauses during the latter, but we don’t… have anything like a calendar?

Which is why we’re here. [ Klaus twirls the writing utensil between his fingers then points it toward Jim, evidently quite pleased with their progress already. ] Working together on something to help all of us out in the long run.

Of course, we want your guys’ opinions of how we should go about this since not everybody’s worlds are the same. [ Another gesture toward his partner, that way Jim knows he can take the floor once he’s finished for the moment. ]

[ Jim nods along to Klaus’s explanation, waiting for him to finish to continue talking. ]

I realize this might seem pointless to some of you, but maybe not all. So what we’re curious about is what measures of time you use in your world, if any at all. I’ve noticed that most places measure it through hours, days, weeks, months and years, which is more or less how we do it where I’m from. It goes like this…

Sixty seconds makes up one minute, sixty minutes makes up one hour, and twenty-four hours makes up one day. Each week has seven days, and a month can have anywhere between twenty-eight and thirty-one days. A year has 365 or 366 days. However, space travel is fairly commonplace where I’m from, so we also use stardates, which is a more universal way to measure time across all planets that are either part of or allied with Federation space, or in some way related to the Federation.

I’m curious to hear about how everyone measures time where they’re from. If you have a calendar, and how it works. How long are your days and years, if you have them at all. And if you don’t measure time at all where you’re from, why is that? How do you keep track of events that happened, or events that will happen in the future? Or is time just a construct your species doesn’t adhere to in general?

[ Jim realizes he’s rambling like a nerd sssssoooo he shuts up to let Klaus get a word in if he wants to, and finish the announcement for the both of them. ]

As you can see, we’re both pretty excited about it! I think it’s safe to say, we’d ideally like to get something on the bracelets that’s easily accessible to everyone. [ He glances toward Jim for confirmation, somehow grinning even wider. ] Until then, [ A beat while he plucks up a piece of paper with haphazardly written numbers, ] it’ll be good ol’ reliable paper.

We can definitely ask the gods about making as many copies as necessary, I think. Pretty sure they won’t mind? If so, then no worries, we’ve got this. [ Their hands will certainly be tired afterward, but hey, worth it! ]

Thanks, as always, for your attention, you lovely people!

amongfriends

[The screen flicks on to find a green woman sitting in a chair with bright, colorful hair worrying her hands. It's almost like she's nervous or something!! That can't be as she very calmly addresses the camera.] I have been told that certain events require announcements.

[She vaguely remembers her people doing the same once upon a time too. Gamora holds her head up high as she announces the rest.] I have accepted a great honor. My partner asked if I was willing to spend the rest of my life with him. I agreed to the proposal.

[She brings up her left hand to the camera so that everyone can clearly see this ring that contrasts sharply against the dark metal ones on her other fingers. ] Wearing this ring symbolizes my intent to honor our agreement. It is a custom of Earth. It is my understanding there is more to come after this, but I intend to honor those traditions as well even if I am not of that planet.

That is all. [She ends the feed there.]

theprezident

[ Rhys has only just stepped out of the castle when he starts the video. There's not much that has changed about him. His hair is slicked slightly more to the side, with a couple of stylish stray hairs hanging down, and the colour of his left eye is golden rather than blue. Closer to his natural eye color, but still obviously different.

If he doesn't look very happy, well, that's because he was in the middle of something. Meaning that, after a lot of time and effort, they finally managed to open the damn vault, but before he got to actually see what was in that big chest, he ended up here. So, yeah, you can bet he's annoyed. All that work and he's left with a cliffhanger, and now it might be months before he finds out! ]

Hi, everyone. Not sure ... I don't know who noticed I was gone, or how long I was gone, or who's still here, but ... I'm back? Rhys. That's my name. I'm-- Uh. So. Slightly disconcerting fact. I went home for ... a while. Like. Months. Thing is, I don't think I remembered ever being here. I'm a little, uh, confused, still. It's like I need to sort out what order everything happened in and who everyone is.

A lot's happened. Not gonna go into that. Just a ... couple of things. Firstly, if Klaus and company are still here and you're still living in that house, I'd love if someone could meet me halfway with a coat or something because I'm dressed for the desert, not this. Secondly, Gaige, if you're still here and willing to talk to me, that'd be ... great. Or I guess you could just cuss me out more, or punch me in the face, or whatever.

Other than that, let me know if I missed anything exciting? Again, no idea how long it's been. Pretty sure it was winter when I was here last but, I dunno, maybe it's been a whole year. Or more.

[ He does one single finger gun, and ends the feed before he starts making his way through Honir district.

Feel free to run into him in person and say hi. ]

captainmaterial

[When the feed turns on it's just a face full of ferret and then Finn's other hand wrangles the little wiggle worm out of view. She's of course a little screechy about it but not too loudly.] Sorry about that, guys. Brynhild's a little excited about the announcement too.

[He grins, behind him is a unfamiliar purple glow, but he's close against the wall so you can't really make out more details than that.] So a little while ago, one of the special rooms that we got in the castle started a conversation with the gods. And they decided to put something together that kind of shares part of our homes. Some of our homes, anyway.

I'm going to cover up the screen for a moment and take you into the room that kind of explains it all. [There's a brief blackness as he moves into the room and when he uncovers it...colored orbs are everywhere.] It's not quite the stars but it's pretty darn close. Mimir worked really hard on making this place look as realistic as possible without actually putting us in space. [Finn fiddles with something off screen and the stars reconfigure themselves to showcase a fairly familiar galaxy for him. (And possibly Padme.)] This one, for example, is from my home.

[Finn will take a moment to walk through all the stars and showcase all of the colors and 'gases' that are typical for space in silence before speaking up again.] Anyway, It's called Sti—Stiarna Sjón. [Yes, he stumbled a bit over the title. Forgive him.] I'll probably be here for a bit so I can show anyone who wants to know how to use it to see... To see home. At least from a distance.

[[ooc; Stiarna Sjón is located in Mimir's District and is ~~(soon to be)~~ now listed on the locations page!! Be on the look out for a mod log for interacting on it!!! o/]]

reek

How can I know for certain that someone isn't here?

[ The voice on the other end sounds tired and distant, like it belongs to someone who hasn't slept properly in some time. That is most certainly the case, but he isn't planning on relaying the details to just anyone. He keeps his message short and to the point. He can't tell if he's too frightened or too irritable to do more than that. ]

I'm not interested in nonsensical replies. If you have an answer, tell it to me. If not, ignore this message.

hikikomori_king

I... I ... something is ... very wrong. Please. People keep greeting me, and yet, I do not know who they are? Yet it feels like I should. It happened after I found the gift at the tree. Please forgive me - I do not mean to hurt anyone, but... I do not know what to do.

skaldish

[ Have you missed Tuuri? Because she's definitely posting on the network because of exciting things! She's her usual cheerful self. ]

Hi everyone! Aren't those trees the gods put up so interesting? I even found one thing with my name on it and everything I touched was glowing for a while! It was definitely fun playing around with that. But oh! I have to show you what I got back from home!

[ The view switches around to vehicle that sort of looks like a cat.]

It's our vehicle from home! It's not quite working yet, but I'm sure with some elbow grease it'll be just as good as new. I think I can take care of it because I was a mechanic too back home, but if anyone has any spare tools I'd really appreciate it. [ The view switches back to Tuuri, who is positively beaming. ] I was afraid that it might be too big to request but it looks like it wasn-- [ Abruptly she suddenly blurts out something that has nothing to do with the cat-tank. ]

I hope Lalli and Emil can eventually communicate that they like each other very much!

[ There's an audible gasp as she claps her free hand to her mouth in surprise. Someone was touching Sigyn's tree that wasn't supposed to... And now she's gone and said something that was on her mind. ]

I..I... [ She's flustered but she can recover from this! ] UM...

[ The camera shifts and shakes and is generally blurry and suddenly Tuuri is back on screen, holding a rather surprised cat in one arm. Cats are an excellent distraction from blurting out things! ] We also got Kitty who is from home too! Say hi Kitty! Please?

[ There's a pause of awkward silence of both the Finn and the cat staring into the view before Tuuri, an incredibly flustered expression on her face, stops the video. ]

demonicbeauty

[As always, Ariadne doesn't appear on screen. But her excitement is utterly palpable, both in the way she speaks and the way that image shakes as she moves.

She's in the medicinal garden that she's been working with Cadfael. All around is a dusting of snow, but for some reason, the plants all look vivid and bright.]

I don't believe it! I mean, I wouldn't believe it if I wasn't seeing it with my own eyes.

Look!

[Somehow, after some fumbling, she manages to aim the camera at a beautiful strawberry bush. In the dead of winter, it has vivid streaks of red. There are strawberries there. Bright as bells.]

They're really real too. I even tasted one. I'm sure this must be the gods' doing.

[She maybe pans the scene a little too fast.]

All of the plants are still alive. I mean, awake. I've never seen anything like it! And after a blizzard too.

You all need to see this with your own eyes. It's wonderful!

imahealerbut

[Now that we’re officially in the middle of winter, it’s a good time to make a PSA about staying warm and healthy in one of the harshest seasons of the year. She should probably have done this earlier but ah well. ~~RL is a drag~~ the Public Service Announcement capabilities of technologies are new to Wen Qing.]

Greetings, Wanderers.

[It’s a public announcement. In her time you did it by forcing everyone to show up at a meeting hall. So Wen Qing’s speaking more formally than she usually does.]

Winter is a dangerous time, and as we are a varied group some of you may not have gone through winter before. Cold temperatures make the human body more vulnerable to illness and infection, and if you really don’t watch yourself they can kill. So keep warm and watch yourself carefully. If you experience numbness, dizziness, an irregular heartbeat, or other unusual things- find someone to help you and get to the Heillhaus if you can.

Secondly, not all of you are human. I’m not sure about how other beings react to the cold, or in general. If you have specific needs I’d appreciate if you could report it to someone at the Heillhaus so the physicians are aware. If you practice hibernatory behaviour over the winter I’d advise you tell someone about it too, so people don’t get alarmed.

That’s all. Thanks for listening.

Anyone good at stringing jewelry? [she holds up her Hozen] Just can't get this onto my chain.

itchtokill

[Kol is a social creature, and it's easy for him to fall into old habits of many years past and seek out whatever company he can garner. And there's few ways easier to gain company than a party.

He'd adapted rather quickly to 21st century technology upon being undaggered a year ago back in Mystic Falls, and the bracelets aren't so different from the phones there. So it's no time before he's broadcasting to the masses.

He looks at ease, and absolutely pleased about whatever message he's prepared to deliver.]

It's certainly bonfire season, by all accounts, near as I can tell and it's got me thinking-- what sort of family traditions do we all carry with us? And do you personally still put them to practice, without your family around?

[He leans forward, just a bit for emphasis.]

I've got tons, but one in particular for the approaching new year. There's not really a name for it, exactly, it's just a tradition we had growing up and, despite my siblings being absolute prats when I left them, I still rather find myself missing them.

[A clap of his hands and he leans back.]

So, I figure I'll do bonfire wishes when the time comes. It's real simple. Write down a hope or a wish for yourself or your friends for the coming year and burn it for luck. And the rest is just making a party of it to bring in the new year!

If anyone's actually interested in such a celebration... I'll throw something together and let you lot know closer to it. Otherwise, I s'pose it'll just be something I do on my lonesome in Tyr's district.

[There's a shrug at the idea. It's a simple, old Mikaelson family tradition and he won't particularly be fussed if he doesn't get many bites on it. But it would be nice to have something of his own little soirée to look forward to.]

5thchild

[ there is no reason for this to be Video, but Kaworu prefers to talk to others face to face ]

Hello. I'm Kaworu Nagisa and I've arrived recently. It's the first time I am allowed to be by myself, and while it sounds refreshing, it is quite confusing. I do not fully understand why I was brought here or what my role in this world should be, but I'm patient and I'm certain I will eventually find out. [ he smiles wider. Kaworu likes smiling a lot ]

I have a question, for those who wish to answer it. Are you happy?
