Network: May, An Inauspicious Arrival
The Watches
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. |
Testing, testing, testing.
It does seem like this sends a message. Well, how do you do? It seems as though I have come to exist in this plane and existence for a time. I am outside my normal protocol and environment so I'm afraid I can offer no help to anyone.
That said, please continue to struggle valiantly in whatever it is you are doing. I'll enjoy watching you all struggle until I am deleted from this place.

If there's anyone there, text something back. Anything.
[ There's only a few ways to tell for sure whether she's dreaming or not, if what Stiles deduced what feels like a lifetime ago is true. She has five fingers on each hand, so that checks out. Now...can she read? That's the real test. ]

Turns out this place wasn't done with me. Who knows how long I've got so might as well kill some time and ask what I've missed.
It seems I've been gone some time... and it seems I'm not alone in that. At least being a Witch hasn't gotten any harder for me.
That Miss Nessie lady was really nice to give me this strange device. She said I can talk to everyone this? Is this like writing letters to people, but faster? Maybe Dad can hear this!
Daaaaad! Are you-
[ Her words stop short, interrupted by some raspy coughs. A brief silence as she recovers, speaking again: ]
Sorry, I'm okay. I just wanna talk to everyone...

Goodness, that sounds painful. You say you are alright, but are you lost? Would you like some assistance?

Oh hey! You must be one of the many new guys. hiya, welcome !
Sounds like that good old harpy intuition is doing you well. unless yure a Chimera. Yeah, shampoo wouldn't be the kindest thing on those pretty feathers. You've heard of a birdbath, right? Nobody puts soap in those!
Try some water. Then get someone to preen your feathers for you. Or, you can do it yourself. Hopefully you dont have to dislocate anything to reach tehm all!

I was told I could talk to anyone with this...portable clock. Is it working? There isn't magic like this where I'm from, so I'm unsure if I'm following instructions correctly.

Because I keep getting confused for a Puca, which is a Monster, but I’m not a Puca I’m just a dwarf rabbit.
Why aren’t humans getting confused for anything? For all I know you’re all, um. Vampires or something.
Also isn’t Monster a derogatory thing to call someone? Because where I come from, it is.

[it would be a hell of a lot easier for big fingers mcbeefcake here to do voice or video, and even he's smart enough to know that, but...well, he's shy. it feels so much safer to hide behind a screen, where people might not be able to know that he was big and intimidating.
(although he guesses that isn't so much the case here with real life monsters running about, huh?)]
so witches can do magic rite ?
nd they said u have 2 study 2 learn it
but what if they told u ur a witch nd ur really dumb

Not entirely. While study is a valid form of enhancing one's magical abilities, you cannot discount practice, improvisation, and simple talent.

Don't trust the food here. Don't eat it.
[ molly, even after being given a demonstration, finds himself at a bit of a loss. see, even before he'd passed through the mirror, he'd still found himself to be a little... well, lacking in the literacy department. the common tongue's alphabet isn't that difficult (not like infernal, no way), but he still can't remember exactly what all of the letters sound like.
it takes about ten minutes of fiddling, but molly manages to send his first message. ]
my name is mollymauk tealeaf.

Well, hello everyone! I was worried this was a dream, but I've already pinched all up and down my arm to check. Seems like this is the real deal! And I've got some bruises to prove it.
I'm not really sure what's happening... I feel like Alice in Wonderland. Should I be searching for a cat? Or a queen? [she laughs, clear and bright.] Well, if anyone would like to help a very pretty girl get her bearings about here, I'd be so very grateful!

[ 'very pretty girl' pings this guy like the sound of a can opener to a cat. ]
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. ]

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.

[ 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.

So. Um.
[She fumbles a moment with her watch, adjusting her grip on it before she sighs a little.]
I've been changing kind of quickly. In the span of days really. Is that typical? I was here before, not for very long, but I never really changed then...
[There's a heavy sound and along with the rustle of fabric it's distinctly someone sitting down.]
The hooves aren't so bad once you get used to them but I'm a little exhausted.

Is this thing on? It's been such a long time since I've used a cellphone! Sure takes me back.
[Katarina starts adjusting the settings on her watch. Might be here awhile.]
Anyway, I was wondering if anyone knew where to buy farming equipment? And maybe where there might be an open field? Farming is my hobby back home, so I'd like to get something started here.

[This is relevant to her interests. But that sure is a name.]
Most of the shops that sell plants have them. Though some of the plants might attack you... There are some fields in the outskirts but they might not let you out that far if you just arrived.
[Because shades.]

Pow, this is a pretty fancy pocket watch if we can use it to talk to people instantly. Pascal would have a cow if she saw this thing, it totally blows her pigeon out of the water! ...Actually, maybe it's better if she didn't see this, she'd try to take it apart in an instant.
[A pause.]
Crap, I messed up my name, how do I go back and change it? Help???

[ Caduceus can speak at least 4 languages, that he knows of. This watch thingy he'd been given, didn't really seem clear on which, if any, of those languages it was in.
So, doing his best in trying to type out a message, he managed to send a video instead. Blame it on those big fingers of his. ]
Oh, hey. These little buttons are pretty, what are they, letters? Did that send a message? Do I need to cast something? I didn't prepare that today. Can you hear me or am I supposed to hear you? ... I'm sure I have a cantrip for this...This is why Jester usually does this. I don't know what I'm doing ... Oh boy. Hello?
[ Please be kind to the very baffled and deflated, pastel, pink person who doesn't realize he's pulling a face at you all right now. Classic double chins front camera kinda pose, bless him. ]
