Has anyone noticed if the people who arrived the other week have started going back yet? [Very blunt. So blunt, it almost sounds like she can't wait to be rid of them. But she's just wondering how long she has until Jean just disappears and she's alone again.

Then as an after thought.]

What happens when people return? Has it always happened out of sight?

[ a dark-haired young woman in glasses and dark local fashion sits in front of the camera. she can't be older than 21, surely. anyway, byleth's been here for over a month and she's only posting to the network now. ]

I'm Byleth Eisner. I've met some of you already. I suppose you would call this an... interest check? [ she takes off her glasses, hanging them from the neckline of her shirt. ] Most of my recent work before coming here was in commanding my Emperor's army, but I'm an experienced teacher as well. Armed and unarmed combat, archery, strategy and tactics, riding, magic... rhetoric and composition. [ was that last one a joke? it's impossible to tell. her face gives no hints one way or another. ]

The Coven trains witches in magic, but that only does so much good. I'd like to work towards establishing a school where the Mirrorbound without martial skills can learn them. As it is, the Wilde is too dangerous for too many of us, and ad-hoc lessons aren't enough. [ she waves a hand. ] This is all... hypothetical, right now. But if this sounds something you'd like to either help with or learn from, please, let me know. In the meantime, I'm open to teaching one-on-one.

[ she seems to consider something, briefly, before: ]

... Also, firearms are new to me. I'm familiar with powder explosives, and I've seen cannons, but if anyone might help me to understand the use and maintenance of guns, I would appreciate it.

[ byleth pauses again. ]

That's all. [ and off it goes. nailed it? ]

[ ooc: open to fourth wall people! ]

So, uh. Anybody else realise they forgot their nameday? It's been a bloody year since I got 'ere. I'm twenty now.

--not that I celebrated my nameday before. Just know it's a custom for a lot of people. And now I've said it, maybe it'd be nice t'hear how people did it 'round your home.

We can't forget our homes. Even as some of us have been 'ere for so long.

I'd celebrate the new year with you all, but it's not the same, is it? Not all of us came though at the same time - some of us might have only spent half a year before this new dawn. Not that I celebrate the time. A year's a year, now isn't it? Just another date.

But you know. Thinking on that - it's weird, isn't it? Nobody new has come though for a while. There were those objects, and even some living things? But nobody else like us. Either something big is coming up, or the magic - or whatever - has gotten all it needs.

Either way is a little fucked up, but in different ways. Any of you got thoughts?

DO NOT CHASE THE RED DOT

[ ...That's it. That's all the post says. Fordola is currently stuck up a tree, tangled, trying to get free after being pranked by some witches. ]

[He really doesn't wanna do this, but people deserve to know. Prompto takes a deep breath that can be heard on the call before he speaks.]

Right. So. Uh. I probably didn't meet most of the rest of you so, hey, I'm Prompto. If you see a tall yellow bird, that's Primula, she's a chocobo--yellow, not gold, gold belongs to Cloud.

[He's babbling and he knows it.]

A-anyway. So, I noticed some weird stuff yesterday and went to the guys who helped us when we first got here a couple of weeks ago, figured they'd know best. It was just weird body hair but, y'know, weird place weird shit happening, not like I've got my regular doctor here, y'know? Figured I might as well get it looked at just in case. [A weak chuckle.] Yeah, it's not weird body hair. It's fur.

[A beat.]

It's fur. Apparently there's a chance we're not human anymore and the guys in charge didn't expect it so...yeah. And who knows, maybe I'm just really unlucky and everyone else is just fine but...if you think something's off, go get it checked out.
