never_go_back[Bam, suddenly there is a young lady with a friendly expression on the screen. She's visible from the neckline up, shoulders covered in slender armor.]
Good evening. Those who do not know me, I am Dame Kuno of the Highcrest Knights. I would be most grateful for a moment of your time to bring two things to attention.
Firstly I am in the process of forming a more [beat] 'colorful' detachment which would be named the Order of the Rose. I am looking for one or two others to join me in an everlasting crusade to keep peace and order within Highcrest and wherever else necessary.
[She seems so cheerful! Then her express shifts to a bit more regretful.]
We will, regrettably, need to keep our eyes closest upon some of our fellow denizens of Mallow Hallow; disturbing the peace by bullying the weak is a most improper way of solving our problems and I believe it best we defuse denizen-related shenanigans before 'Queenie' ends up aware of matters and becomes further.. Disappointed.
[Because Kodachi cares about that. Really. Then smiles!]
Secondly I am aware of the recent news regarding currency. For someone looking for part-time work, I could use someone to tend to my rose gardens. Experience with such care-taking is preferred.
Now then, who will be first?
[She goes quiet with a sweet smile, as if expecting someone to accept her offers.]

[Video] The Free Ride Is Over
Jul. 3rd, 2013 12:07 ammallowmods[As the various citizens of Mallow Hallow wake up, their devices flicker to life with a mass video communication. It's Queenie, sitting on her throne -- and looking quite grumpy. Tronctor-level grumpy, almost. She drums her fingers on the arm of her seat, frowning into the camera.]
Hello, my dears. Recently, I find myself continually hounded by a group calling itself the Native Population Coalition. Seems that my policy of allowing all our distinguished guests -- that would be all of you -- a "free ride" in our country is immensely unpopular. There has been a lot of complaining about how everyone should be treated the same, regardless of their country or universe of origin.
[Cue deep, put-upon sigh.]
I had hoped you could all settle this among yourselves, but it appears I must step up in and clean up this mess.
[She scowls for a moment, then plasters on a very fake smile.]
So! Starting today, dear hearts, you're going to be using the same currency as the rest of us! Isn't that exciting? They're called Queen's Notes -- though you can shorten that to Notes if you like -- and they're good all across Mallow Hallow! They come in denominations ranging from 1 to 100. Everything is paid for with paper bills -- no coins. I don't like coins. You can never find the ones you need when you need them.
Anyway, darlings, each of you is going to get a special one-time stipend from myself and my husband of 1,000 Notes. This should give you enough money to support yourselves for a bit while you find ways of earning more. I wouldn't worry much about it -- there's always plenty of jobs to go around, if only you'll look! We've also set up a special bank in Lochwell: Mallow Hallow First Monarchial, with saving accounts for all of you. Tronctor's done something to the communication devices to allow you to view your banking information with a special "app" -- and those of you in Crystalden should be able to pay for things using your phones! Isn't that something?
I know this is a bit of a shock, dears, but it's all in the interest of fairness! I'm sure you'll get used to it in time. And besides, now you have a way of keeping yourselves occupied that you didn't before! So really it's a positive development! Anyway, you should all be receiving your money by the end of the day. The rest is up to you, darlings!
[She lets her smile flicker a little.]
Don't let me down.
Have a lovely day!

kurloz_makara[The video starts and focuses on three dolls, sitting all in a row. On the left was a doll with green button eyes and a small stitched in smile, her long black hair created with yarn and dress made out of scrapes. Small carved and painted horns are weaved into the yarn, one curved and the other with a hook at the end, and embroidered where her heart would be is a Jade Virgo symbol.]
[Next to her was a doll with Purple beaded eyes and unbraided yarn for hair to give it a wild look. His body was black with painted on bones and a purple Capricorn symbol where his heart would be, long curved horns poking out of the mass of black yarn. ]
[And the last doll was of a boy with the same messy hair as the purple beaded one but shorter, twin spiked horns weaved into his hair and scraps making up his yellow and black body suit. A small painted golf ball broke and carved to look like a motorcycle helmet rests in his lap. A keen observer may also notice red and blue thread peeking out of the hair line covering yellow buttons. A yellow Twin symbol was embroidered in his chest. All of them had pins poking out, the girl had pins in her heart, the skeletal boy had pins in his sewn up mouth and the yellow doll had pins in his head. They were attached together by pins in their hands. ]
[Kurloz has been keeping himself busy. He stands up and backs away from the dolls and you get a good look at an old oak tree, a strange symbol carved into the bark along with his classic smiley face :o) with lines running over the mouth. He continues to back away and you notice empty soda bottles tied to the branches.]
[Then the video shuts off.]
[But these aren't the only dolls; in fact these 'voodoo' dolls are all over Mallowhallow. Perhaps you'll find them at your place, or just on the street. Each is being highlighted with a candle and was made with scrap and yawn, details embroidered with thread and stitches over their smiling (or frowning) faces. You'd be dressed in the outfit you were wearing during your first post, or any post seen after the mime came to town. He's been wondering the streets and he's seen you, some of you may even have met him, most of you probably don't realize he's there.]
[Maybe you'll run into him just as he's setting up your doll.]

Jun. 26th, 2013 03:08 pmex_protegere334[Sophie is sitting at the window of the house she is staying in with Asbel (in Mallowhallow District). She still thinks all of this pillow stuff is. Well, strange. But surely there were stranger places people here came from, with people from so many different homes and times.]
I was wondering...is there a library or something similar here? Or if there isn't, I think I'd like to learn about other places everyone comes from. They sound so different from Fodra or Ephinea back home.
...Also, what's a 'date'? I don't think when Kodachi mentioned it she meant the day or month.
Fail Filter;
Hubert, I was wondering, Asbel thinks if we made a garden here it'd be pillow flowers. So would it be okay if we started a garden where you are? I don't think your district would have pillow flowers.
Oh. And if you haven't yet, you and Asbel need to meet Jack. He made me an honorary guardian to help him look after the children. Like being their protector. I'm not sure how many children there are here though.

The video feed fizzes to life and shows a tree in a park somewhere. Sitting at the base is a Troll. His eyes can't be seen behind his helmet's colored visor, but it's safe to assume that they're wide with panic. His fangs are barred as he shouts at the screen.]

Joint post | Balfour showing off Amery
Jun. 20th, 2013 01:42 amblueeyedflyboy[It sure didn’t take long after Amery’s first post for the feed to come on again, this time showing a beaming face. Well, actually two faces, but Balfour was beaming, his arms wrapped around Amery’s shoulders from behind as he showed him the broadcasting device. He held it in one hand and grinned out to the public.]
Hey everyone! I know I’ve mentioned him before, but this is my brother, Amery! Say hi!
[He nudges Amery, intent on his brother making a good impression among his new friends.]
Hello.
[Amery doesn’t look nearly as happy about this as his brother does, but he’s dealing with it. If only because it’s Balfour.]
It seems my brother has been sharing stories about me in my absence.
Of course I have! You’re my brother!
[So obviously, Balfour would be telling tales. He adored and looked up to Amery, after all.]
Anyway, I just wanted everyone to know who he was. Please treat him kindly!
[And that goes for you too, Amery.]
Balfour, though I appreciate the gesture, I do believe I’ll be capable of dealing with people whether or not they decide to treat me kindly.
[Balfour sighs, looking at the man he’s draped over for a moment.]
Amery--
[But whatever else he was going to say is lost. He kills the feed just as he begins that sentence. Privacy was a valued thing for Amery, after all. Balfour knew this.]
scarletrose[Kurenai wasn't sure how a chalkboard was supposed to help her communicate with the people of her district and the realm. However from the brief contact with the Queen about the communication devices, she was able to figure out how to use the chalkboard.
The feed turned on with her walking along Astralfield. She looked calm and she chose her words carefully.]
Good day everyone. My name is Kurenai.
[She gave a short and respectful bow]
Does anyone know how to get back to the mansion?

sasuducky[Sasuke is a hundred percent sure that he's dreaming, although this dream feels different from his normal ones--it feels more real, somehow, even though the setting is stranger than anything he's dreamed about before. The movement of time feels normal, too, and there's none of the jumping from place to place that usually happens. He would almost question it, if it weren't for the fact that the town he's in is made completely out of pillows.
It's kind of fun, though, and comfortable, as he curls up on a pale pink bench with his feet tucked under his legs. It makes sense that he'd dream about pillows, doesn't it? Maybe he's sleeping in a particularly comfortable position.
His stomach growls. It can't hurt to have a snack, right? He's only dreaming--although he hopes he doesn't sleepwalk into the kitchen or anything. That lady said he can talk to other people with the little pillow she gave him. Maybe someone around here grows tomatoes.]
Hi, everyone. I'm Sasuke. Is there anywhere I can get something to eat? Only--I don't have any money. [He blushes a little.] But I'm really good at washing dishes! I can do other chores, too.
Thanks very much. [He nods a little--it's not a real bow, but he can't bow very well while he's holding a pillow and the pillow is what he's bowing at.
...This dream is weird.]

Shit's been really quiet around here lately. Too quiet, you know? So I was thinking. I need to get drunk, you all probably need to get drunk-I mean, who doesn't, being stuck in this place?
So what I propose is this. A party, at my place, tom-no, not tomorrow, not enough time to get everything ready-the day after tomorrow. We'll party till the sun comes up, and then some. There'll be more booze than you'll know what to do with, food, good music, the whole nine yards.
Can't party alone though, so who's interested? Come on, I want to see some enthusiasm.

First he was in a dream bubble talking about trans-specization and then he was waking up and being frog marched to some ruler who assigned him to this district. But at least he had this communicator. It wasn't that hard to figure out, similar enough to the devices they alchemized while playing the game. He figured, if he is going to get any answers he should see if anyone is out there]

May. 30th, 2013 07:30 pmtomboytendo[ Akane's scroll flips on rather randomly today, but it doesn't show Akane training this time. Rather, she's helping out some of the citizens, a few tools slung over her shoulder and in the process of climbing a rickety ladder. ]
"That's it lad, seal up those holes and we'll be able to move on to the next house. What was your name again? Kane?"
[ Apparently this is shouted from the ground where one of the villagers is overseeing Akane's work. She only looks annoyed, however. ]
"For the last time, I'm a GIRL, and it's Akane!"
"Haha, that's silly, no girl has hair that short. It's okay lad, sometimes the Gods make men a little more feminine than we're used to!"
[ Akane throws her toolbox down on the roof once she's reached the top of the house she's helping fix and glowers to the ground. ]
"I am a GIRL! G-I-R-L! Just LOOK at me you morons!"
Meh, I don't see anything girly about you, boyo, and you should be proud of that! Most boys your age ain't so muscular!"
My name is AKANE and I'm NOT A BOY.
"Akane's a pretty weird boy's name though don't you think, Chuck?"
"Sure do, Dave. I'd swear it was suited to a girlie."
"That's because I *AM* A GIRL."
"Lookee here Kane, if you was a girl you'd have breas-"
[ He stops here, because at this point an enraged Akane has launched an empty bucket at his head. There is a ringing TONG, and then he hits the ground. Oops. Um. Medic? Also mind the Donkey Kane on the roof, still ranting and looking very much like she's about to throw barrels. ]

forgotten_vows[The audio feed gets turned on before the video, meaning that anyone on the network will be subjected to a few moments of black accompanied by grunts and grumbles before the view switches to what looks like a vast expanse of white. A moment later, Victor pulls his head back, looking absolutely furious. As he continues to move back, it's easy to see why -- and to see why he apparently had such trouble turning his communicator on.
He's wrapped up in what is clearly a straitjacket.
Not only that, what is visible of his Astralfield hotel room has a distinctly white and padded look. Victor glares up at the ceiling, then at the chalkboard.]
THIS ISN'T FUNNY, ASTRALFIELD!!
[A beat, then some of the anger leaves his face, replaced by a sort of bone-deep weariness and sadness.]
Could -- c-could someone please come here and free me? The room number is 6988.

Hello, everyone..I hope you're doing alright? I mean, things seem pretty okay here although I'm sure there are dangerous things -- which is what I wanted to ask about.
I'm pretty experienced in combat and I think I could be helpful if trouble does end up happening. I trained for seven years at the Knight Academy in my own world, and have continued to train since then..
[headscratch]
What I'm saying is, I'd like to do what I could to keep everyone safe. I'm not that great at cooking, and I'm not that smart but -- I try really hard. So if there's a job where I could look out for you guys, I'd be happy to take it.
Any suggestions, maybe..? I've never done this before..
FAIL FILTER FROM SOPHIE
Also I had another question -- for everyone who lives in Mallow District..have you ever tried planting flowers? I was wondering because I'd like to help someone from my family plant some and well, I'm worried they'd be..
..Pillow flowers.
TO HUBERT; FAIL FILTER BECAUSE HOW DO I TECHNOLOGY
You still around, Hubert? I just wanted to check in on you. I'd like to come visit, if you aren't too busy. You're probably having better luck than I am at finding things to do.

May. 19th, 2013 01:15 pmgenitrix[The feed opens up slightly shaky, obviously being held by someone quite upset. There’s some hushed muttering as the camera focuses on the front door of a small residence in Orlea. Bright green spray paint is scrawled across the door and windows and siding, spelling out hateful messages such as ‘ALIEN FREAKS’ and ‘GET OUT.’
Porrim, from behind the camera, sighs, and then calls out towards the house:]
Kurloz? You might want to see this...
[From the doorway you can hear footsteps, hurried due to the pitch in her voice. He comes down the stairs and is by her side still out of shot. No sound is made, something that wouldn’t be unusual with the mime, however it’s like the world just stopped. Slowly he steps forward into the view and touches the paint lightly—it was fresh. He looks back at Porrim, face blank and expressionless, the only real way to make a mime speechless
Porrim turns the camera of her phone toward her own face, and it’s like a storm cloud has passed over her normally serene expression; her brows are drawn downward and there’s a toothy scowl on her mouth. But when she speaks, there’s not just anger but a hint of sadness. Who would do something like this...?]
It seems like our neighbors aren’t too happy that we’ve invaded the neighborhood. Too bad we can’t get back in our SPACESHIP— [She raises her voice and shouts that word toward the neighboring houses, before taking a deep, calming breath]—and fly away home. Is anyone else having problems like this?
[[ooc: replies will be coming from both Porrim and Kurloz (kurloz_makara)!]]
Porrim, from behind the camera, sighs, and then calls out towards the house:]
Kurloz? You might want to see this...
[From the doorway you can hear footsteps, hurried due to the pitch in her voice. He comes down the stairs and is by her side still out of shot. No sound is made, something that wouldn’t be unusual with the mime, however it’s like the world just stopped. Slowly he steps forward into the view and touches the paint lightly—it was fresh.

She... err... seems also quite young but it's somehow hard to tell considering she is no different from a stuffed animal. And she doesn't seem to know her device is already recording. The... girl, whoever she is, seems quite distressed, she probably just arrived.
"Buttons, I've never seen such a weird cotton print... Oh! It changed again!" And she starts pressing various buttons, very randomly, again: her hands are... weird, she only happens to have an opposable thumb and the other fingers are missing. "Ah, geez, I thought all meat pillows were cool as dad but they just left me here and- ooh" And she turns around to look at a citizen's pillow-dress... she really seems to like it. Oh, she totally has to ask her where she bought such a fine pillowcase and- nope!
"Whatever, stay focused girl!" And she throws her 'cellphone' away, now the camera is just showing the sky "What time is it, Bonnie?" And she's faking a manly voice now "It's pillow time, dad! Time to look for a way home!"
