Network: May, An Inauspicious Arrival

The Network: May, An Inauspicious Arrival

The Watches

    Everyone who arrives in an unorthodox way and eventually shows up at the Coven for 'orientation', will receive a strange, watch-like device compliments of the Coven and Parliament. Miss Nessie or one of the welcome wagon crew will give characters a run-down of how to use the various functions and they are encouraged to test them out for themselves. It would be good for them to get in touch with their fellow Mirrorbound, of course!


Fourth wall characters will not be able to make their own posts in the communities, so they may use this post to make "network posts" of their own by top-leveling. The log post is right over here.

[Having little ability to tell how long it took to craft the message, Itachi looks over it a moment, finding its simplicity compelling enough to reply. How bold... making a statement with only that?]

'Tealeaf' is your family name, I presume?

Damn they're pulling random girls into the place too? Buncha careless bastards in this city.

Hey, I'm new here too. Maybe we can look around together. Only, what's a Alice in Wonderland anyway? [ <-- edo era swordsman here. ]

as a winged man, it's not that hard.
and don't use shampoo, that sucks.

get some water and just clean the feathers with it, try to preen, or accommodate each feather carefully.

They are! I heard something about a coven, so I'm either a recruit or a sacrifice. Hope they're not hoping for pure of heart virgin sacrifices, though.

I'd love to have company of a handsome man while I'm here, so we can work together, even if you don't know who Alice is. [she giggles at him, but not to be mean.] She's a storybook character. Falls down a rabbit hole, goes through a looking glass... gets into all sorts of trouble!

Normal food doesn't taste or smell good to me. If it does, then that's bad.
bitehard: (I have to find my path)

[personal profile] bitehard 2020-05-04 06:33 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, handsome man ready for company riiight here. I'm kinda lost here too so if you got a few landmarks hit me with 'em, Alice.

The Coven look like a bunch of deluded cultists. But it sounds like you and me might be in the same boat if they're tryin to recruit us. [ yes, he's... stunningly enough, not a monster. physiologically, at least. ] Dunno if any of the city people here can be pure hearted virgins, a lotta them act like they were born with a stick up their ass.

aww. what's wrong with ruffly dresses? :(

no mall, sorry. it's a little too old-fashioned for that. :) there's a bakery around! i don't know about cheesecake, but you're sure to find something sweet there.

If you phrase it like that, you're just gonna attract the perverts and desperate guys.

[ But why are you responding, Jean?? Are you also a desperate guy??? ]

But I'm in the same situation as you.

[ Well, this place certainly is strange, and while she's happy to wander by herself and check out any crying souls and whatever graves she can find, the watch-communicator device also has her interest.

But what to send into the ether... ]


Good evening.
I hope each of you are doing well, even in this strange city.


[ It's a good job no one can see how long she takes to type this out, not because the watch itself is trouble, but because she really doesn't get a great deal of opportunity to simply... chat to others. ]

If I may, could I trouble each of you for a drink recommendation? Something which represents this city for you. It may be alcoholic or not.

Thank you for your kindness.

I can barely read what you're saying.

But even idiots have the capability to learn. You just have to work harder than everyone else.
tothemetal: (four.)

[personal profile] tothemetal 2020-05-04 10:09 am (UTC)(link)
sry
uh
sorry
it just takes me a lot longer to type out the whole words cause the buttons are so tiny


[and, indeed, these messages will take a noticeably longer time for him to send than the others he's been shooting out there. but Styx doesn't want to be a problem for anybody, so! he's gonna use those fat fingers of his as best he can!!]

i guess youre right ?
like
um
in the general sense
you gotta work really hard to get good at anything
but
working hards never been enough for me when it comes to school learning and stuff
so i dunno if thats gonna change just cause its magic
trost: (043.)

[personal profile] trost 2020-05-04 10:40 am (UTC)(link)
[ Jean is blunt because that's just a part of his personality. If he knew Styx was struggling more with typing now because of what he said, he might feel a little bad. ]

I don't know much about magic, but with how widespread it is here, it's probably no different from any other trade. Unless you have natural talent, getting good at something is always gonna take time.

If it means anything, I'm a Witch too, and I know nothing right now.
tothemetal: (three.)

[personal profile] tothemetal 2020-05-04 10:44 am (UTC)(link)
[don't feel too bad about it, Jean. Styx is used to struggling his way through life one way or the other and isn't particularly bothered by it these days.]

oh yeah ?
that does make me feel a little better
uh
not that you dont know anything either !
but that im not the only one having trouble right now
only thing ive ever been good at is drumming so this is kinda way out there for me
haha

[personal profile] trost 2020-05-04 10:48 am (UTC)(link)
Well, don't even know why you were putting yourself down. Most people aren't good at something they've never tried before ...

Drumming? Like in a marching band?
