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.

I can't deny that.

[ He also can't get rid of the sulking tone in his voice.

But all that is thrown to the wayside! ]

Yonah is here?! She's escaped the Shadowlord?! [ A million questions spring up one after the other. He pauses as he squints and leans in. ] Did you say "kids?" As in... more than one? Did you have a child while I was not looking, Nier?

[okayestdad]

From her point of view, the Shadowlord never took her in the first place. She's still... it's like it never happened, Weiss.

[He loves his little girl so much!! Even if she somehow hasn't aged at all!]

There's my son too. And I guess I technically had him when you weren't looking. We hadn't met then. He died before Yonah was born. But here... hell, he's a grown man. Says his dad died when he was young.

[bookpunching]

She was... she was never taken...!

[ Are there tears prickling in the corner of his eyes? Maybe!! ]

Your son? [ He steps backwards. ] By my pages... [ Ah. Whatever, he is still going to use that phrase. ] I see... so in his world... you are already... [ Weiss can't help but press his lips together into a thin line. ]

A troublesome thing, for certain, but the family is all but gathered. I daresay this is quite a victory for us... and we only had to cross into another world to achieve it.

[okayestdad]

Are you smiling? And it's not even some smug ass smirk, damn.

[Not that he doesn't have a huge grin himself.]

Maybe Kainé and Emil'll show up too. Then it'll be a real reunion. Plus I can't wait to see what she says about all this.

[bookpunching]

Please... this is a joyous occasion! It doesn't warrant a smug smirk.

[ He holds his hands out and may attempt to shove Nier a little. Excuse!! ]

It would, indeed, be a full reunion. [ But his smile fades slightly. ] Oh, I have no idea what that hussy will have to say! Certainly not anything that I could bear to hear. [ He makes a loud UGH sound. ]

Let's only hope that dear Emil comes. [ He's joking, naturally. He would be quite pleased to be able to see Kainé, too, even if he acted otherwise. ]

[okayestdad]

You gotta be curious about what string of curses she'll let out when she sees you.

[Nier holds out a hand to Weiss, and his shoulder too if he needs it.]

Come on, let's get out of here before you smell like fish for the rest of your life.

[bookpunching]

My ears are ringing already.

[ He attempts to lift his hands up to cover his ears but pauses at seeing the hand held out to him. ]

Don't wish such things on me. [ He would be SO MAD if he ends up smelling like fish forever. HE WOULD BE THE MADDEST BOOK IN EXISTENCE. Reaching his hand out, he takes the offered hand. ] I daresay that's an even worse curse than the hussy could ever come up with.

[ GRANTED TALKING ABOUT TWO DIFFERENT CURSES BUT YOU KNOW ]
