Hey. So I, uh... I'll go ahead and say it.

I need a bond.

But I don't really have anyone I can go to for that. Not anyone that I already know, at least.

I'm also a vampire, but I already got the blood thing covered.

[The benefits of having a girlfriend.]

Anyways, if anyone's interested we can just... talk.

Maybe get to know each other a bit, first. I don't mind taking it slow.

Got a question.

Anyone around that had a chronic health condition or illness back home?

Did it clear up when you got here or is it still affecting you?

Asking for myself.

Anyone here able to talk to dogs?

Kind of wondering what it is they have to say.

[ It's midday out in the Wilds, a turnskin woman setting down her device to record on a nearby surface before stepping back and sitting herself against a stone, a blood red spear rested against her shoulder, and face partially obscured by a mask. The darkness of her fur and clothes mixes with the stark shade of the canopy overhead, making it a little difficult to see her aside from the bit of face that's visible.

She speaks in a calm tone. ]


I've seen quite a few of the new visitors and seen there are quite a few among you that adept and strong. As well as folks who've been here some time already who could use something besides Shades to fight.

I propose, before all of this gets corrected, we have ourselves a bit of a bedlam, to enjoy ourselves as warriors and treat ourselves to some friendly fights and whiskey to share.

I don't doubt there's a lot of you that have had the same itch I've had. Particularly with the last moon phase being as it was.

Well, what say you, then? Shall we have a warrior's festival, before the month's end?

Hullo again! I hope everyone is well!

<sub>[Yes that's right Aefenglom...your favourite Lalafellian entrepreneur is back and has clearly been...busy? She seems to be in her kitchen, a set of distilling equipment behind her, various metal and glass containers connected with piping and tubing to create an apparatus that's purpose soon becomes clear. The confident little lady is proud of herself as she stands on a chair in all her three feet of glory, large glass bottles grasped in each hand. The one on the left sports a liquid with a light blue hue to it and what seems to be golden flecks that shimmer as they float about. The other bottle though holds a liquid that looks like a rosé in color, seemingly innocent enough, until one notices the small but very apparent wormlike larvae whose bio-luminescent skin gives off a faint green glow.

She gives each of the bottles a shake, the flakes and larvae floating about respectively.]</sub>

I've been attempting to recreate a few of the most popular spirits one can find in Ul'dah and I've almost managed to get the recipe juuust right! Of course it isn't perfect, as ingredients here are a bit different to what's available in Eorzea...but so far I'm happy with the result! The blue one here is said to make the drinker see stars if they have too much of it and this one _{[Yeah, the worm one...]} well they say if you can down a whole bottle you'll be strong enough to take down a rampaging goobbue with your bare fists!

_{[She sets the two bottles down on the table so she can talk with her hands, as one does.]}

While these spirits suit my own palette just fine, I wanted to survey how other Mirrorbound might find them, so I'm looking for willing taste testers, if you will! The more the merrier. If you like what you taste I'll give you a bottle of it to take with you. If you don't, then I'll buy you a drink of your choosing.

_{[What's there to lose, right?]}

And speaking of brews...does anyone have a particular favourite drink from where they hail from? If so, what is it? I'd love to hear about it, alcoholic or otherwise!

<sub>[For science, naturally.]

[ 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! ]

Hello, fellow Mirrorbound! I have just found out that Dorchacht will be hosting a sports event soon! And what does that mean? Well, naturally it means that we will need to cheer on the participants!

I am looking for volunteers to join the cheerleading squad during the games. It does not matter if you are athletic or not really, Witch or not, smaller or bigger, there will always be a way to participate!

If you would rather not go out and cheer by yourself, I am also looking for choreographers, someone to come up with a few chants we can use and the crafty types to help out with making the costumes!

If you are interested, just let me know! This is going to be so fun! :D

Given everything going on, this might not be seem that important, but hear me out because I've been struggling with this myself for a while.

We need a 'dating' site/app for finding bonds. Either temporary or long term.

Any tech savvy person able to help with this?

Anyone know how to use magic to fix a door that was ripped from its hinges?

Asking for myself.
