[Video] un: Merlin

- does what?

[ An exasperated voice pipes up mid sentence. Was that an eye roll? Yes, yes it was. The image is upside down and shaky as more instructions are offered. ]

Do you have any idea just how much I have to do? No? Well it's a lot, and this is -

[ Cutting himself off, Merlin draws in a breath and huffs it out again, setting a hand on a hip as he glares off screen for a moment. Then shoves a hand through messy hair before holding the communicator up, blinking a few times with clear skepticism. ]

Right. Fine, sure. Am I just talking to myself now? Or is anyone else listening in?

[ Forgive him for still having the comm upside down! He'll fix it...eventually. ]

Yo!

[Today on the feed, Megumi gives a salute--a rather informal wave, even though she's wearing a suit.

Or well, the suit jacket is on her shoulders, anyway.]

Aikawa Megumi here, and fer those who ain't familiar with me, I'm a psychic and I got somethin' ta report. Apparently, that frozen heart thing seems ta be a spell that's meant ta target Otherworlders specifically. I ain't an expert in magic, but if there're anyone who is that wants to get ta the bottom of this, we can work together, or somethin' and become magic detectives.

That's all I got for now, so I'll hear from y'all soon.

001 ❤ un: hinamori ( accidental video )

[ between the last few hours since arriving amu has been in a rollercoaster of emotions going from almost crying to confused and panicked before the momentary relief from being reunited with three guardian chara that can also be seen with her as the video accidentally turns on in the middle of her rambling ]

This is stupid — all that idiot's fault I wasn't paying attention to where I was going and ending up here in this weird place.

Amu-chan~ where is this anyway? Are you sure we're going the right way?

Oh I know, we're taking a different way home~

No that can't be it either, this doesn't really look familiar at all.

[she rubs at her face looking a mix of frustrated and upset about something while trying stay calm. she vaguely remembers bits and pieces of the explanation she got but look it was a lot to take in when she's going Through It and having an emotional crisis just seconds before and honestly very rude of this place] Yeah because it's not, it's some sort of magical kidnapping. Honestly I don't even know how much of what I was told is even true but we'll be fine— we can figure this out and...

[she looks over at her newly received phone and belatedly notices it's been recording] Wait. Has this been on the whole time? Ugh. This just keeps getting even more weirder by the minute. Stupid thing must be defective too... who can even hear this anyway?

[ooc; pink = ran, green = suu, blue = miki respectively. normally her guardian chara are only visible to others who have them and people pure of heart. however because of being pulled into ellipsa it can totally bypass canon logic so! you have two options to play with this to either think she is having a weird disjointed conversation with herself or have your character see/hear them too which will make her extra confused. ]

video; un: sodapop

[Well, seeing the demon mention in the network is as good as time as any for Jinu to make the question.

Should he introduce himself...? Nah. He might as well just get to the point. He's not posing as an idol this time.]

What are demons to you? Do they exist where you're from? How about what you make of the ones in this world?

[Sincerely, your friendly neighborhood Pop Idol Demon.

Also are those a blue tiger and a three-eyed magpie in a hat behind him? Why yes.]

[OOC: Please let me know if you'd rather have me avoid any kind of Kpop Demon Hunters spoilers and I will continue to mark them in this post if they come up.]

An NPC Network Post

[Olwen is in his office at the Winter Guild. He's looking all proper and calm as he begins to address the network.]

Greetings, everyone. My name is Olwen and most of you would know me as the Winter Guild Leader. I'm making this post today to share some news with you.

On our last mission, a man named Herakles came towards you and surrendered. He is currently being held a prisoner until we can determine his true intentions. Rest assured, we will not let our guards down.

So far he has promised his powers to our use, saying he no longer agrees to the others who are working against us. He, however, has not yet disclosed any names or locations of the other 'villains'.

[Even if he had, there was a chance that he could be lying and they'd be headed towards a trap.]

Another news is that a group of explorers managed to save an individual in June. Reiner Braun made a network post about it back when their group returned. This man has finally recovered enough strength to be around. His name is Virion and he's a prince of the Elven Kingdom. He says his kingdom was destroyed even before the Darkness came. It will be one of our missions to investigate the matter.

[A mission for later, once they uncover more things.]

Please keep in mind that he was trapped with demons over a decade, so if you meet and talk with him, try to keep the topics light.

[So they won't trigger him.]

That's all for now. Sadly, I don't have time to reply to your questions here, but you can find me at the guild as usual. Feel free to use this post to talk with each other, naturally.

OOC: NPC page has been updated with Virion and a few new NPCs. There will be no NPC replies in this post.

video | UN: yuuto

[Suddenly being back in Ellipsa is surreal. And without any clue as to why he's back and how he left in the first place, Yuuto is panicked and sick with dread.

Not that he lets any of that show on his face. When the feed turns on, Yuuto is smiling timidly and masking his inner turmoil. Just like always. The world may be different, but the rules of the game are the same.]

Good afternoon. My name is Yuuto Yumeno and I recently arrived in this world. I'm an 'Autumn' and I like math. It's nice to meet you all.

I realize that this may be an odd request... You've no reason to trust me at this point, do you? Not that I'm untrustworthy, I think?? I hope- Point is!

Does anyone need any help..? I'm at a loss for what to do, but it's so kind of this world to give me a place to stay, even if only temporarily. I'd like to pay that kindness forward. I can cook and clean and fight..? N-Not that I want to fight anyone! I've only just met you all. And I won't want to fight you once we meet! I hope- I mean, definitely! Uh...

Thank you..!

Uh. Has anyone seen Inaba-chan? I was supposed to meet her today for some technology meeting stuff, but she didn't show up. I tried to send her messages, but she's not picking up. If she left she wouldn't even receive the messages right?

[He's clearly worried.]

I did see her around half-way through the month, around the time it started getting really cold. I hope it's not related...

[He looks bored. Unremarkable. Not quite plain, but not very memorable either, unless you count his messy hair and that he looks like he's been sleeping for a while. He seems to remember something and smiles pleasantly.]

Hi! I have an important question. It might be the most important question I ever ask. It's really important!

Okay~. Does anyone know of someone willing to teach a person with no skills to speak of how to fight? I can't do anything! It's a wonder I'm still here.

{video| un: GIVETHANKSTOTHEWORM; shared post (accidentally) with The One Who Waits | CW: Violence}

[The feed starts out shaky as if the user is unfamiliar with the device, mostly just blurry green until the feed finally settles on the back of what looks like a talking horned bush.]

Bear witness to my image, so you can memorize it when you make idols in cowering adoration.

[There’s another adjustment to the feed as it shifts to a more unflattering worm’s eye view of Leshy, standing in bloodied and torn robes.]

You see before you the last of the gods of the Old Faith. All other gods lie conquered, helpless before He of Havoc.

[His foot bumps the feed by accident.]

Spare yourselves the same fate and fall to your knees, give praise and sacrifice to the Worm!

Me.

[The camera shifting after that bump of the foot reveals Leshy is not alone. Three sharp points of red appear in the darkness. They stare intently at Leshy and vanish into the dark again, circling the green worm from behind. Slowly the creature appears in the frame as it grows closer, the light shining on sharp teeth in a Cheshire grin, black ichor oozing between the gaps and down the black furred chin.

Leshy feels around for his camera, giving a proper view of his toothy face--only for it to go above his head. Whatever's happening behind him, it hasn't reached his attention yet.]

I await my temple raised in awe of my savagery! I smelled what you putrid cretins did for Narinder's temple...I want double the candles. Lit through skulls.

[He's too high off his victory, mentally running laps to consider his surroundings at the moment.

The creature in the back is easier to see now. It moves out of the shadows and toward the bush. That is infact Narinder. Though his eyes are black, save his glowing red pupils. Ichor runs down from all three of his eyes like black tears. His approach is slow and careful. Like a cat on the hunt. It isn't until he's right being Leshy that he makes a sound. A deep gutteral version of the cat's voice speaks.]

L̴͆̔̈́͝e̴̒͌̍̎s̵͗̈́̓̅ḣ̴̉̌̇y̴̾̂̔̎

[The feed blurs by, showing Leshy and the form of his brother right behind him. The worm's neck jerks, his body language visibly rattled by the voice. He stands motionless.]

It's-it's not fair...you're supposed to be dead....

[A wet dark laugh escapes the sharp drooling maw. His head tilts ever so slightly as his grin widens. His brother cannot see it but his glowing red aren't looking at him. He's looking at the camera now.]

I̶̊̓̽̊ ̷͋̐͆̿a̴͛̇̏͘m̵̒̀͗̕ ̶͂̓́̒D̸̃̔̍͝EA͜T̸̓̃͛͑H̸͂͌͘̕

[Narinder lunges at Leshy, knocking the phone to the floor once more, the shadow silhouettes of their wrestling forms can be seen only before the video cuts out completely]

005: Frozen Painting (Accidental Text, during event; Child injury/Ib Spoilers)

You’re winter aren’t you? I don’t feel good and I don’t think spring magic’s gonna work.

[...It's unclear who she meant to send this to, but the sad child had accidentally delivered it to the entire network instead.

As it turned out, the frozen heart symptoms had spread to Mary's canvas- or perhaps, more likely, from the canvas to her. The oil paint slowly cracked and buckled, leading to little bits of herself starting to flake away in turn. She needed to fix this, before it got any worse.]
