- Awright, heeere we go...

[Hang on, adjusting the camera - but once it's clear he's got it steady, Chipp takes a couple steps back so he's easier to see (and no longer out of focus).
Behind him is the beat-up old shed he lives in, of course... and a pile of junk. Literal junk, complete with chunks of old plastic, some heaps of scrap metal, and an empty bottle or two rolling out of it.]

Bonjour, folks! I don't usually post here much, 'specially not with my face, but I'm here 'cause I need help from y'all.
Got me a new business permit, so I gotta project I wanna start workin' on, start buildin' up my ol' business again... so, long story short:
I need ya trash.

Keep the food waste 'n shit - I just want the recyclable stuff. Metal, glass, plastic, wood, paper, in that order, but metal's top priority. Cans especially. I'll take it all off your hands, no questions asked.
I'd appreciate it if you wash it off first, 'course, but I won't fuss if ya don't. I get it.

I'll pay for any broken electronics, too! Not a whole lot, I ain't rich, but it'll at least be enough to get yourself a bite to eat or somethin'.

I ain't got a buildin' picked out for all this just yet... I liked the old one, but it ain't big enough for my plans. So address is just here in Amberfall for now - I'll tack that on at the end o' the post, here.
And, eh... sorry 'bout the lawn, Shigeru; I'll make sure to keep all the junk tidy 'til I can get it moved! Heheh.

[As promised, the address where Chipp needs that junk donated is listed in text beneath the video itself; he's even got a bin set up outside of the building's gates for people to dump and run!
So, so sorry, Shigeru.]

[Hey all, it's the loud cat girl. Only this time she's not in her fancy ass pink dress, with black body suit underneath. She's just in a t-shirt that has a graffiti art of what is possibly a cat on a skateboard which shows off one important thing about her.

The fact her joints resemble those of a ball jointed doll then anything organic.]

Hello again! I have a question to see if anyone else has this problem, and uh... I don't want to go back into the Underground Mall again for this but.

... Is there anyone around here who can make clothing for a doll? With a tail, too. This shirt and the hoodie I picked up are good except the sleeves of the hoodie get caught in my joints sometimes but I need more than that? Also my dress should probably get repaired too.

I don't have tons of money right now, but I could pay you back with favors or just um, instalments?

Greetings, fair people of Ellipsa.

-- no does that sound stupid? Maybe I should just say 'Greetings, everyone'. That sounds better.

Ahem.

Greetings, everyone.

I wish to formally ask for lessons in magic tricks. It's something my family has despised for a long time, so I still have my reservations at a restaurant - but seeing as I am here now, I should at least try and live with it.

My seasons is spring water, apparently. I have visited the Spring Guild, but everything is very overwhelming.

Bollocks. Where did those extra words come from. I did not say them out loud. Delete 'tricks'. Delete 'at a restaurant'. Delete 'water'.

Ugh, technology.

Either way, I am in your care.

video: un: sunset

[This time's video comes from the Mecha Hangar in the Research Center. Asami is looking a bit nervous.]

We have a bit of a situation here.

[She moves the camera to show a huge dragon with black and red colored scales, and red-black wings inside the mecha hangar. A very H U G E one that doesn't look like he will fit from the hangar launch pads. Nor does he look like he's even trying.]

We're pretty sure it's not one of the native ones. They rarely come to the city if they're this size, so...

[Well, her only option really is.]

Has anyone lost a dragon?

[It's really hard to work when there's a big dragon in the middle of your workspace.]

[OOC: This is Daenerys' (

thequeenofdragons) dragon that just returned from a canon update (animal companions/familiars can canon update while their owner doesn't if players want them to do that) and since he didn't fit inside the Research Center lobby, Mecha Hangar was the only option.

No harm shall be done to the dragon.]

That's-- oh. Ah. Greetings.

[The tell-tale sign of someone unused to this kind of technology. He fumbles it a bit as he comes into view.]

I'm... [Get it together.] My name is-- is Raphael, I arrived in these lands a few days ago.

[He's never been so up-front about who he is around mortals before. He looks very nervous, but also more than a little thrilled. It's a very confusing mix of emotions to process through.]

Though we don't hail from the same world, I am more than proud to claim Lucifer Morningstar as my eldest brother. I hear he does good work here.

[A small smile.]

I hope to as well. [Another brief pause.] I would like to hear about how you live your lives, what you love and hate, what inspires you... I have been isolated for a long time, and such things have always been of interest to me. And-- if you would tell me of the places here that you find to be most beautiful. I would love to see them for myself.

[So. Here's that green-haired, freckled teen that his loud bff was going on about. Izuku sits cross-legged on the bed in his bedroom of his newly provided apartment that he has yet to decorate or anything to personalize the space. He looks a little sheepish as he checks if it seems to be working. He's used to something similar, having this sort of technology back home, at least.]

Um. Hi? I'm Midoriya. That is, uh, Midoriya Izuku. I guess a lot of you already kind of know of me from Kacchan earlier...

[He's sorry. Really. It isn't like he asked Bakugo to go off like that.]

I was just trying to get my bearings, I guess. I heard there's school, or at least classes, here. To learn about our new abilities? I think I'd like that. I want to learn to use mine. To at least learn how to control it. If not to help out with it, and my Quirk. Plus, I want to look into prosthetics to help Kacchan. Maybe learn more about music....? I'm sure there's probably a library or something I can check! And I want to be useful and help out, maybe figure out a part-time job?

[......Yeah. That talk that he had with Bakugo about not overdoing it. Izuku might already be wanting to do more than he might realistically be able to manage. Because he's a Nerd and actually wants to Learn about this place and the abilities, and wants to help out as much as he can. This kid is just not used to the idea of not keeping busy, not being useful. Still in that habit of feeling like he has to prove himself.]

Rebuilding journal search again

We're having to rebuild the search server again (previously, previously). It will take a few days to reindex all the content.

Meanwhile search services should be running, but probably returning no results or incomplete results for most queries.

How many other kids are here, nanoka? I wanna know, nanoda! Sound off if you're a kid, nanoda!

[She progressively gets her face closer to the camera as she talks excitedly. She seems to realize that she's getting too close because she does back off to a normal distance after a moment.]

I have questions, nanoda!

Where do you all hang out, nanoka?

Can we meet sometime, nanoka? I want to spend time with other kids, nanoda!

Also, also! What jobs do you do, nanoka? Trying to find a job at a maid cafe hasn't been working because of my age, nanoda. I'll probably go back to my street performances, but I'm curious about everyone else, nanoda.

[She knows that she gets a stipend, but she's still a bit worried. She also refuses to ask about school in this world.]

[it's taken sizhui some time to figure out how to do a video post, but now that he (sort of) has the hang of it, it's easy enough for him to open the feed and get it positioned right so everyone can see him.]

Is it on...? Ah, yes, I think it is!

Hello there, everyone! My name is Lan Sizhui and I just arrived here not too long ago.

[he raises both hands and waves them in greeting, still hoping everyone can see alright, even though the screen is slightly off-kilter.] I find myself with not much to do right now, so I come with a question and a suggestion!

First off: what sorts of jobs are there around here? I know they surely won't pay for everything the whole time, so I'd like to get started on something as soon as possible.

Second of all: I have learned that there isn't a community garden to tend to. Having these new powers, I feel like it will be a little easier to take care of things, so I'd like to find some land and start a little garden for everyone to enjoy. [he grins outright, clasping both hands together now and holding them close to the left side of his face, clearly excited with the new idea.] It would be open to any and everyone and people could come and take as they please, I think.

Any thoughts on this? I will happily accept any other suggestions, too. [sizhui picks up the smartphone, holding it a little closer.] Thank you all for your help, I truly appreciate it!

[the feed ends shortly afterward, following the tiniest bit of fumbling on his end to get the phone to turn off.]

I have a couple things I wanna share!!

First is my birthday's on Monday so I wanna take a bunch of people out to the VR arcade in the Underground Mall! If you know me you're invited. I hope everyone has a ton of fun!

Also!! We were talking about this in the Music Club but there's more DJs in town than just me! So I wanna hold a

DJ COMPETITION

Everyone gets a small set and the audience all use those light-up bracelets to cheer on who they like! Then at the end, the audience votes for who they liked the best! We did these all the time at home, it'll be fun.

I hope you guys all come and see! And if you're a DJ too and I haven't talked to you yet, let me know and you can join too!

video | un: jean

[ The video opens on Jean Kirstein and Reiner Braun standing side-by-side. They are each wearing a distinctive necklace: a blue-and-yellow sapphire with a river carved into its face. (The effect is that of a sun over a river.)

Jean begins. ]

We're here to announce the formation of Odyssey, a group dedicated to making expeditions in the Segments safer. Our goal is to organize, equip, and mobilize teams based on experience, skill, and compatibility of the members.

We're doing this because we've both been on a lot of expeditions. We've seen them go right, and we've seen them go very wrong. We believe that proper preparation and organization, both before and during expeditions, can make them safer for everyone involved.

[ Here, Jean stops speaking and Reiner takes over: ]

We have a lot of ideas we'd like to implement. First and foremost among them is making sure teams are balanced according to Seasonal abilities. For example, there are some things only Autumns can do, and we've had expeditions where we would've been screwed if I wasn't an Autumn.

Other ideas include establishing caches of supplies out in the Segments in case things go wrong. We also want to make sure everyone is well-equipped heading out. For that reason, our respective businesses (Volcanus and BraunSphere) will be contributing equipment.

[ Jean begins speaking again. ]

If you're interested in joining or in helping with supplies, equipment, et cetera, let us know. If you have questions, we're here to answer.

[OOC: answers can come from both Jean and Reiner (

hometown)!

Joining happens through the skills thread. You can leave it blank for now, but please update the skills in at earliest convenience.]

[This poor Spiritual Cultivator is looking rather worse for wear. He is wrapped in a blanket and his cheeks are red with fever.]

I won't be at the clinic today, I'm sorry. [He coughs and shifts away from the communicator to blow his nose. Oh dear.] If you are truly ill, contact me this w-w...

[And a sneeze!]

Excuse me. [He murmurs apologetically.] I will still help. Remember to eat your fruits and vegetables, friends, and get plenty of rest.

[On your screen is suddenly a red curtain and words pop up as the sultry voice of Lucifer reads said words aloud.]

Are you looking to change for the better? Do you want to improve some part of you and aren't sure where to start? Do you need support for your goals and ambitions?

Perhaps you just want to have a safe place to sit, self reflect, and speak to a trained professional about the thoughts in your head?

Well look no longer, valued citizen! BECAUSE!

[The curtain draws open and the Haven Hotel and Lucifer are revealed. Lucifer's six wings expand with red and white feathers as he smiles with his sharp teeth.]

The Haven Hotel is here for you! Come check in at this wonderful hotel and tell us how we can help you! We have trained therapists!

[There are flashes of pictures of his therapy staff, namely a girl with red hair, a pony, and a couple of Ellipsa locals.]

We have workshops to help you fine tune that new hobby you're pursuing.

[A flash of their workshop room, one of them filled with rubber ducks.]

And we offer walk-in counseling sessions for those days when you just need someone to talk to. Located in scenic Dayrise, we are here to help make your day, your year, and your life a better one. Come on down for a free tour!

Also, we have an indoor swimming pool that's open year round!

So come on in to the Haven Hotel. Your Safe Haven for your self-betterment.

General Housing Notes

Hello, everyone!

We have a lot of freedom when it comes to housing but we wanted to put down a few more guidelines in addition to common sense.

1. A reminder that house expansions aren't meant to be used on any kinds of apartments, as that would mean expanding inside a building, rather than a house.

2. Characters are free to have big yards. However, any yards that go over 50 acres should be discussed with the moderator team. Nightwake doesn't have infinite amounts of space, so the plots can't be humongous in size.

One option is extend the yard via portal dimensions, if characters run out of space.

If there are currently plots that are over 50 acres, please make sure to note that they're on the edge of the district they're in, rather than somewhere in the middle.

We will add more housing options in the near future, which includes places in the Segments. Please look forward to it.

Before I freak out just checking.
If I can't find someone and they aren't answering their phone but they're flower is in the flower yard and their still in my contacts, they come back right?

It isn't takes a while for them to disappear?

Is that how it works?
