[alwaysgrounded]

[Ever since Rapunzel got her communication device, she had been playing with it a little.  While she had no idea what was just handed to her, she must have found out how to turn the phone on and call people by mistake because all you see now is part of her face and her extremely long hair being dragged on the ground behind her as she was being manhandled by the people who have been dragging her around since she'd gotten there.]

I don't have time for this! I can't be here! Eugene is in trouble. He's going to die if I can't heal him... 

Please stop this!

[No matter what she said or how much she pleaded, they wouldn't listen to her. Just like that, she was left alone in Highcrest and told to find a place to stay. She just stood there without so much of looking at the new device she had been given, completely forgetting that it was broadcasting. She was stuck here and Eugene was dying.]

I can't be here right now.... What am I going to do though? I don't know where I am or how to get out. He's going to die.... because he was protecting me....

[The scroll falls out of her hands as she collapses into tears. No! It couldn't end like this. She couldn't lose Eugene. He told her she could find a new dream after seeing the lanterns, but quite frankly, her new dreams.... They involved living happily with him or something like it. After a while, the communicator turns off by itself.

OOC: So Terra is a terrible person for bringing Rapunzel at this time, but she's also very late with this intro. Feel free to see her in Highcrest or over the comm.]

Action/Video in Highcrest - Woman vs Gator

[tomboytendo]

[ So, Ranma's gone. So is Shampoo, but Akane never knew she'd been in town. This left just herself and Kodachi as being from Nerima. Ranma's absence left Akane in a poor mood, and when she was annoyed, she needed to hit things. She'd managed to acquire a variety of training supplies from other districts - not much, but enough to do for the time being. ]

[ Setting these assorted things out in the yard, she fastened the belt of her training gi tighter, ready to start her routine. However, before she could start.. there was a noise behind her from the pond. Turning, startled, Akane's brown eyes widened at the sight of an ENORMOUS alligator suddenly lunging out of the water at her. ]

What the... KYAAAAAA!!

[ Where the HELL did that thing come from? Of course, Akane was far from a wilting daisy, and she wastes no time to throw things at the alligator. Like the barbells, smaller dumbells, her device-- oh whoops! Enjoy the view of the inside of the alligator's mouth before it spits the device out again. Akane, running out of things to throw, grabs a rock the size of a small boulder, throwing it at the alligator next. ]

[ OOC: Feel free to stumble upon the epic battle between woman and gator, or cheer her (or boo her) on via video. Actionwise, Kodachi will be putting in an appearance shortly so be on your guard. :D ]

001 - Video - Birthday invitation

[blueeyedflyboy]

_{[The feed clicks on. It's shaky and shows a very nervous-looking Balfour. It feels strange posting this, especially so soon after his friend was hurt, but he thinks it's.. Well, it's at the very least polite to invite people.]}

H-hello everyone. I'm...ah, pretty sure I've not introduced myself on here, though I have met a few of you. I'm Balfour...

_{[He trails off, looking down at his hands, then back at the pillow walls of his house, at the seemingly-flammable kitchen area. Oh, no, that won't do. He has, at least, acquired a grill and a book on how to use it and has been reading it.]}

Anyway, ah, my birthday is tomorrow. Usually, I treat myself to a dinner or something nice, but...I was wondering if anyone would like to come to my house for a cook-out? I'm really a good cook! It would...be nice to meet some new people and spend time with some of my friends...

_{[Tyler, Reid, Pogue, (and yes, even you, Caleb), this is meant for you guys. Secretly, he hopes that person doesn't see this post...but he knows his luck. It's terrible.]}

You don't have to bring anything; in fact, I would prefer you not. I don't...spend much time here, after all...

_{[And the pillow houses were terrible, security-wise.]}

So, yes, ah, dinner tomorrow at 8pm? Here, at my house. If anyone wants to come.

_{[And then the shaky feed clicks off, Balfour wondering what the fuck he had just done. But he wants to celebrate his birthday with a bit of a party, at least here, in this new world.]}

[ACTION]

[sexualhealing]

[So Inigo might not know where the rest of the army is. He might be lost! He might be in terrible danger!]

[But that's not important in Highcrest's brothel, chatting up the ladies]

Hey there.

001 - [text] -or- [action] Astralfield

[ghostly_stutter]

[Written in chalk with care and extra spacing between the letters. Chloe opts for the somewhat cliched question just this once, in hopes of gaining some true insight concerning her new situation.]

What is this place?

[Yes, her hand-writing is a bit tremulous--but that's what happens when you see crazy things in Astralfield that are by no means normal. Coming from Chloe, that says a lot. She knows crazy. And she knows normal.]

Derek? Simon? Tori? If you're here, now would be a great time to mention it. Otherwise, I am making Aunt Lauren take me in for real psychiatric help, later.

[Because obviously this had to have been orchestrated by the St. Clouds, if this was real. That last part she wrote may have been a bit of a stretch, but Chloe's never seen the things she's seen here in her life. Though one particular thought niggled at her. The situation did remind her oddly of...]

This is so not happening.

[Not again.]

((ooc: Chloe can be found in a tree, trying to outrun and outmaneuver any strange creature that finds her here. For the moment she thinks she's safe. For now.))

.†. [2nd] N.i.g.h.t. [ video/action > astralfield ]

[insufficient_half]

[ It was over a month since his near death experience and he was out of the hospital. He occupied a small residence a little ways away from the hospital and now briefly sprawled on the opened windows. The curtains were blowing from the small wind current and his eyes were hazed over, thinking of certain being from his past. It was such a strong thought, that he eventually manifested it in Astralfield. A beautiful woman dressed in a long traditional kimono. She had snow white hair and alluring pastel eyes. She moved like a puppet, with her grace and beauty. ]

Shizuka-sama.

[ the words softly called from his window as he watched the woman. Shizuka was no more, and he knew that, but it didn't lessen the pain. In fact, he was starting to pick up on the details of Astralfield as he experienced this, with heavy lidded eyes, and a hazy vacant expression.

The woman continued to do things according to his will, the gentle look and the lonely eyes. Yes, if only for a moment longer, he longed to be embraced by her again. In the end, it was merely a manifestation of his thoughts. He was unaware that they were producing life like imagery, but there was definitely something off about the beautiful woman. She moved in an almost mechanical way. Eventually the feed ends the recording with Ichiru's form slumped over the window and appearing minourly exhausted. It wasn't the first day this happened. It had been frequently happening and somehow the recording took over at some point when he had become drowsy.

The imagery of the vanished as it had appeared moments later when he had lost consciousness. ]

[ ooc: Ichiru was thinking about his special Pureblood, and yeah manifestation during broad daylight and then passing out because he totally did not just overexert himself lol. FEEL free to try to wake him up or bother him or ask him questions! :D ]

[mallowmods]

Of all the worthless crowds in all the worlds I, of course, get stuck with this one.

[ There’s a voice ringing out in all of Mallow Hallow—some may recognize it as the manly, overconfident Crystalden ruler, Tronctor. Despite his intimidating words and harsh manner of speaking, his voice seems to be woven in with the tiredness of days and days without rest. ]

Remember a while back when your marvelous Queen Queenie said that if anything should go wrong, you should contact me? No? Of course not. Of course you don’t remember. Because this place has been balls against the wall for a week now, and I found out about it yesterday! Fuck! You think someone would drop a ‘hi, I have fucking mutant superpowers’ message somewhere along the line.

[ He sighs, regaining his composure. ]

Anyway, it’s fixed now. You’re welcome. But if this shit happens again, I swear to all that is good and mighty, I will kill you before you have the chance to ruin yourselves.

Tronctor out.
