un: zack

[ What's up, everybody? Zack hasn't been on the network much, but he is today! He looks very serious and businesslike, though he does spare a faint smile. ]

So...I know we've all got a lot on our minds right now, but since it looks like things are going to get hectic again pretty soon, I figured now's as good a time as any to mention training.

Non-lethal techniques, self-defense, wielding swords... If you'd like to learn or practice any of those, feel free to contact me.

I'm also on the lookout for sparring partners, but as a fair warning, I hit a bit harder than most people.

[ That's a bit of an understatement, but he's not about to broadcast everything he can do, you know. ]

Anyway, just let me know if you're interested. I'm Zack.

- does this really go out to everyone? Okay. Anyways, hey, I'm Billy.

Sure does! ( Helpful, Clary! She turns to the video feed properly, giving a not-very-cool-at-all half wave. ) And I'm Clary. I know I've talked to some of you before, especially about the branded and what they're up to. And... there's seriously no good way to say this, but we have some updates on that.

They were involved in the attack last month, and probably the famine, too. At least, the monster that killed me had that same brand. [ And the whole 'it killed me' business is as good of a segue as any to the topic of Death itself. ]

I was brought back by Death. It told me that the branded had something to do with Temperance. Death used to have her soul, but it was stolen a few months ago.

Which is probably around when the branded started showing up during harvest. ( The takeover between them is smoother than it has any right to be; an easy back and forth as the information is shared. ) As some of you know, a few of us got blank tarot cards from a guy named Vuzor after he said 'balance comes for us all'. Well- ( Clary holds up her tarot card. Temperance is displayed across the front in all its glory with gold writing over it saying TEMPERANCE RETURNS. ) Temperance stands for balance, usually. Keeping it. Which is sort of the theme that the branded have been running with. ( As though needing another ominous piece, Clary turns the card around to the back where a countdown is happening. ) And now we might have a deadline.

Death says we need to prepare ourselves and from the sound of things, it was dead serious. [ Okay, he covers his mouth to stifle a laugh. He didn't mean to make a death pun, really. This is very important information. ] So we've got less than a month to get our shit together, find out what we can, and either try to stop this from happening or get ready to face something that makes everything else we've fought so far look easy.

So if you know anything, or find anything, you better cough it up. [ He stands with his fists clenched like he's about to steal everyone's lunch money, before he clears his throat and his stance relaxes a little. Maybe threats weren't the best way to go about this. He's still getting used to being nice. ] I mean, shit, this doesn't sound like something any of us can face on our own, so it'll be better if we work together.

( And Clary has to turn away from the screen to hide her dumb smile at the bad joke, gaining her composure back in time for Billy to finish. ) Which we've all been doing a lot already, so we should be getting pretty good at it! But like Billy said, if you know anything we haven't mentioned, or find anything out, please let everyone know.

( With that, Clary will reach forward in order to turn the video feed off. )

un: Tsurumaru

( Arms crossed and hands tucked into his sleeve, Tsurumaru smiles casually as he speaks. )

I'm looking for someone with experience repairing swords.

( Yes, it's important to get right to the point. No one has time for long winded introductions and explanations! But he supposes an explanation is still needed here so he sighs, running a hand through his hair, pushing back his bangs and scowling just a little, )

I visited a local smith and they were too rough. It felt more like a punishment than care… ( Really! It makes him shudder just thinking about it and he touches a thin scratch on his cheek, ) Eugh. My face still hurts…

( If the smith was going to handle his true form like that, they might as well have just slapped this human body across the face. )

It's a delicate blade and this is a… ( Hm, he doesn't want to have to explain everything right from the get go so he tries to find the right word, ) personal request.

-- Hello? Hi. My name is Nancy Wheeler, and I have a couple of things I'd like to ask, if anyone has the time.

[ unfortunately, no matter how much research nancy's done on everything she possibly could, the idea of recording a voice message for an entire network of people to listen to is still a little overwhelming for her. she knows it's a useful tool, but she's from 1985, so. y'know. it's a lot. still! she has a few questions, and she's not going to let something like feeling intimidated by new, magical technology stop her.

and yes, she knows there are horrifying monsters running around at night, which is normally a fight she'd be running head first into, but she doesn't have her gun. guns just- aren't a thing here, as far as she's learned. maybe she should ask..? no. let's not go there, if she doesn't have to. ]

Has anyone had the opportunity to register and attend classes at the University of Terebellum? I've only recently arrived here, but I figure the best way I can help or contribute to everything that's happening in this world is to learn magic, so. I'd like to do that. I'm just wondering if anyone knows how to go about registering for classes.

-- Or if there's anyone that would be willing to teach me on their own. I know it's a lot to ask, but I'm a quick learn, and I used to tutor my classmates back at school - [ wow, okay, cutting off that thought. how embarrassing. ] -- I just think it would be beneficial to form some sort of study group, for anyone that wants to learn magic, but doesn't have access to the University here just yet. I would be more than willing to set something up, but I just need someone to teach me the basics, first.

Any information on how I can go about learning magic, from the very start, would be appreciated - even moreso if anyone has the time to teach me, too. Although if there's something I could be doing to help that might be more effective than learning magic, I'm certainly open to that, too.

[ someone teach her how to fight with a sword, please. ]

Thank you.

The Wendigo are targeting specific people.

I don't know what the criteria is, but when they select a target, they'll ignore anyone else who tries to get involved.

If you know people that are stupid and self-destructive enough to go out at night, check up on them.

And if anyone has had luck tracking them, I'm interested to know how. I'll trade whatever information I have, or anything else you want.

[ ooc. feel free to threadjack! ]

So uh... anyone know what I should do with this?

[ Attached to the post is the picture of a clearly steaming corndog held by a gloved hand. In the background, one can make out what looks like a dead ~~Ed Shereen~~ body that's been rifled through.

⟪ for just a moment, the anxious fear that comes with knowing everyone can see her and hear her right now overwrites the urgency of her task. it passes quickly enough – flora takes a deep breath, straightens her apron, and begins her explanation: ⟫

Uh, some of you might already know me. I'm Flora –– ⟪ wait, it says that as her name on this compass... thing, so it's not really necessary to start with that, is it? ⟫

Not so important right now, is it? ⟪ she straightens her apron again. ⟫

I know it is unwise to go out. But I also know many of you are setting out regardless, to fight these monsters and to escort those home who relied on the mirrors for safe and quick passage. I... I wanted to support those efforts.

⟪ now that she has reached the core of her reason to address everyone at once, she seems a little more at ease – tension is easing out from her shoulders, her voice sounds a little less nervous-high in pitch. ⟫

With the help of the natives, I am preparing bundles to ease survival. They contain a few rations of food, a spare cloak, for the winter can kill as swiftly as any beast, tinctures for healing, bandages –– nothing to fully replace a proper healer, but perhaps enough to carry someone over until one can be there. Oh, and a small container, so snow can be melted into water.

They're meant to lightweight, you see, and they're meant to save you time, so you really only need focus on your task, so you can move about your task swift and be back home –– or back in shelter – by nightfall.

⟪ she's offering a smile, but even she looks worried. ⟫

Some are packed already, and you're free to come pick them up at Court. And some of the natives will help me distribute them to anyone who won't be coming out to Court today –– but we need more distributors, and if others are staying back, I'd love their aid in packing the bundles.

⟪ she nods, having said her bit. ⟫

Thank you for listening. And please, everyone, stay safe.

⟪ ooc info: hullo everyone! i've talked about this on plurk a lil, and here it is, in... actual game canon! everyone's free to assume their character picked up or was insistently handed a survival package (or two, or three) to take on out to escort/fighting missions. as it says in the ic bit, fellow helpers and distributors are needed, and since flora's only in the court of stars right now, she'll icily be looking to have people haul quantities of them to neutral lands. bonus points if someone in moon stars a similar thing!

while this felt most sensible to do as a network announcement, i'd be happy to do some log threads surrounding the packing & distributing. c: so we can either have network threads turn into logs or you can pm me/pp me (

nehelenia) and i'll write starters!! ⟫

[Surprisingly, this isn’t a text. While Nero is a complete shitposter, this absolutely is all voice. Which means that this is important, and it sure sounds like it, because Nero’s voice sounds incredibly strained and distressed.]

Hey. I know there’s monsters and shit all around at night, but do me a favor. Anyone in neutral territory or close by that- stay the fuck away from the border of the Moon territory. Vergil’s been cursed, and he’s basically attacking anyone who gets in his way while trying to find me or Dante.

If you want to go and find him and try to stop him, don’t. We’re his targets- if anyone else crosses him, he won’t hesitate. Don’t go looking for us either- he only wants to kill us. We'll take care of it.

[A pause, and he inhales and exhales. Stay focused, don't let your emotions get the best of you here, we don't have time. There's still another thing he has to ask.]

I also need a healer as soon as anyone’s ready. We’ll come to you.

[In the background, you can hear Dante begin to protest.]

Look kid, I’ll be fine-

[It’s a bad idea to say that, because Nero practically explodes, yelling back at him while the network is still going.]

Shut the fuck up, you took a sword to the chest, asshole! You’re not fucking fine!

[Look, the boy is worried sick for Dante and also Vergil, his emotions are a mess. He doesn’t know what’s going on with the other, but Vergil’s nearly killed Dante and tried to kill Nero without any warning. He needs to be stopped. They need to find that Arae.

((Nero and Dante will be threadjacking where necessary, feel free to threadjack right back!))]

[The video is only about five seconds or so of footage, filmed by someone who doesn't really seem to know what they're doing. It's set in what looks like a forest--the edge of the Gods Wood, to be exact--centered on a patch of recently displaced mud and grass. In the middle is a dirty, soggy, beaten up old wooden sign, apparently dug out of said patch of mud by hand.

Written on it are the words BALANCE MUST BE RESTORED.

Then, in a separate post entirely because Lalli isn't good at this:]

what's it mean?

dehanded

[ the fact that she manages to text half as well as she does is no small feat, thanks to her literal claws. you thought people with inch long acrylics made clicky noises when she texts? well ibaraki's claws are harder than... most substances found under the earth.

so, for that reason alone, she should be excused for typing with the caps lock on. ]

HELLO DA VINCI DA VINCI DA VINCI READ THIS !!!!!!! DA VINCI DA VINCI DA VINCI DA VINCI YOU ARE USELESS GET OUT OF THE STUPID SHOP AND READ THIS MESSAGE I AM SENDING YOU OR I WILL SMASH YOUR BIRD DA VINCI DA VINCI YOU ARE A TERRIBLE CASTER DA VINCI!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU THINK YOU CAN HIDE IN YOUR SHOP WITH YOUR EXTRA FOUS BURNING SERVANTS AND BEING USELESS? FINE. WE DO NOT NEED YOU.

[ end message. its fine that da vinci didn't respond. ibaraki doesn't need her! she's not tired and hungry and definitely not wanting to go back to chaldea and get some good real food. and real mana and maybe also not be in trouble for... various crimes.

she's not desperate, which is why 2 minutes later, she sends this message: ]

RULER DETECTIVE, IF YOU ARE SO WISE YOU SHOULD READ THIS AND PROVE YOU ARE WORTH MORE THAN THE USELESS CASTER DA VINCI YOUR NAME IS HOLMES YES? ELEMENTARY YOURSELF TO SEE THIS HOLMES HOLMES

[ reminder: she is not desperate, and deserves commendation for typing all this with her nasty gremlin claws. ]
