[Said video post would occur sometime after a bout of loud, illegal fireworks going off in the Shinjuku area, promptly followed by the disappearance of the 7' tall penis statue in front of the exotic dildo store.

This completely anonymous villain is filming from a dark area, dress in all black with a kitsune mask covering his face and long, curly horns. He does his best Tseng impression using a voice modulator.]


Did anyone witness the brilliant fireworks show earlier?

Well, while you were busy watching the show, we took your beloved penis statue.

If you ever want to see it again, we demand one trillion gil and a gold chocobo. Bring it to the southernmost pier in Yokohama.

[He puts a finger over the mouth of the mask and the feed cuts.

...

Then the feed comes back on.]


Two gold chocobos.

[The feed cuts off.]

[The camera turns on and the first thing shown is the back of a horse's head and the slight jostle of both it and the cameraman moving. The horse is very obviously dark in color despite the grainy-ness of the video. It's clear they are also still in town although the buildings are a bit sparse as they move closer to the outskirts.

And then, the camera moves to another rider to the side. This horse is lighter in color and the rider is one Cloud Strife... looking just a little tense on the horse.

A chuckle sounds from behind the camera.]


I told you to relax, you'll make her nervous.

Wait a minute, are you recording—

[Then, there's an 'Ah!' sound as Kaeya remembered he was broadcasting.]

Hello, everyone. We are on our way to settle a commission but I thought I would share how well Cloud was doing with his first time on a horse. Not like your chocobos, eh?

[ Cloud feels. So put on the spot right now. So much so that his wide-eyed 'deer in the headlights' expression and voice catching with a stammer are well documented as he waves his hand at the camera as if wanting out of line of the shot. But from this far back, it just looks like he's awkwardly doing a jazz hand while holding the rein on his horse with the other. ]

Nope. Lot smoother.

[He turned the camera back to his own horse and pats her neck. Her ears flicker this way and that for a moment.]

Really now? Most people find the ride too bumpy during their first time. But not you, Amaya, you have always been an excellent horse.

[Amaya bobbed her head up and down, snorting in agreement. He chuckled again. He was doing this while holding the camera without too much jostle, after all.]

Anyway, the commission is an easy one so we will be back soon! Please do not be alarmed when we don't answer as we are headed out of town as you can see.

[For reasons that Aerith was NOT going to go into, this post will be made in text format. She was a little ashamed of herself for having taken so long to making the announcement she was about to make, or try and make, but circumstances being what they were...

She fussed around for a minute or two before sighing to herself and just saying to hell with it, she should just do this. Sooner it was done the sooner maybe she could find answers...

Or just go into hiding.

That could also work!]


Hope everyone's days are going well!

For anyone who doesn't know me, my name's Aerith. For those who do know me, I have a little announcement? Uhm... I may have accidentally become engaged recently! I'm still in a little shock! But very happy!

I hope everyone can also share in my happiness.

Next I would like to inform everyone that I will be unavailable to see for the next week or so.

I am... sick. Highly contagious. No one is allowed near my home for a while! Thank you all for your understanding!


[That should do it! She hoped the first announcement would overshadow the last.

She hopes.]

[ The video starts off with a cat. A very fluffy cat with familiar ribbons where a cat's "side bangs" would be, and a familiar tiara-like ponytail… Said cat's fluffy tail is up as it is perched on someone she's comfortable with. As for said ‘comfortable someone’, all one can see of him is his midsection- a ribbed, sleeveless turtleneck top with his face out of shot. The focus of this was, after all, on the teeny fluffball. ]

Okay. We’re rolling.

[ Clearing her throat, which sounds like a cat trying to cough up a fur ball, she begins to speak: ]

Greetings. My name is Kamisato Ayaka, and as you can see, I have turned into a cat.

[ But because she is a cat? All one would be able to hear is her meowing at the camera. Literal "nya" and "meow" sounds, and no actual words being spoken. She… thinks people can understand her, because Cloud sure can. ]

Nya nya nya, nya nya nyanyanya, nya nya… [ She's talking about how this is probably Kizuna and asking if there is a way to reverse it as soon as possible because she has work to do… her ears fold inward and she "nyaa"s sadly. Out of shot, there’s a soft sigh before the magi-comm’s camera is angled up, leaving just the head of Nyayaka barely in frame as Cloud leans down a little to show up. ]

Right. That just about covers everything. [ covers what ] Anyone that’s got any ideas, thanks in advance.

[ The camera angles back down to Miss Kameowsato. ]

Nya.

[ Ever polite, Ayaka bows her head as thanks. ]

Think you got it, [ says an out of shot Cloud, hand coming down to gently pat her atop her floofy head before he reaches to stop the recording. ]

[ A solid thirty seconds of one (1) Kaito Nagano grumbling while adjusting the video angle ensue before he actually says anything. He appears to be in a grassy clearing in Nara's Deer Park. A squad of several dozen arukibake bounce around in frame. ]

...Oh, shit. This thing's already recording.

[ Kaito shuffles a few feet back and sits on the grass so that he's in frame. The cloth ghosties proceed to perch on his shoulders and head. ]

Uh, hey. I'm Kaito. I'm looking for someone to practice the local spellcraft with. Or talk magic theory with. I've got a good handle on wind, but water's been a struggle because of muscle memory. Back home I'm pretty decent with water magic, so my old training's getting in the way of my new training.

I figured another refugee would have better insight on how to work around this than a local, y'know?

[ While Kaito's been talking, more and more of the little ayakashi have been piling up and using their little feetsies to tug at his clothes as if wanting attention. He's started petting a few. ]

I spend most of my time bouncing between Nara, Osaka, and Kyoto. Hit me up if you're interested, I guess.

[ Aaaaaand another thirty seconds pass with him all but drowning in arukibake until the camera's POV falls forward and turns dark. The feed ends there. ]

Greetings.

The language of flowers is truly very romantic, and receiving flowers from people, whether your friends or loved ones has always made me very happy. I remember playing a game when I first arrived, called "hot or not", and it was fun! I thought to make a game that had something to do with flowers this time around...

The rules are simple: People who wish to receive flowers may post a 🎀. Their friends, admirers, and loved ones may arrange a bouquet of similar or different kinds of flowers based on the meanings I've provided. I could not find symbols of the actual flowers, so these will have to do... Those arranging the flowers may even provide a message, if they wish. I would be lovely to read a message alongside receiving flowers, after all.

Please have fun! 。.:☆*:・'(*⌒―⌒*))) And if this interests you in any way, you are more than free to ask me about actual flower meanings and arrangements!


below this cut are the flowers Ayaka has arranged for this game, and their meanings! )

[Just like the last time Prompto's face hit the network, this time he looks just as excited! This was his Chocobo OMG™ face! It was the excitement that could only be caused by those bright, sunshine birds he loved so much!

This time there was one small difference. A very small difference...

While the image was somewhat grainy and the colours washed out, it was clear that Prompto was standing in a barn. And when he turned the camera, Noctis could be seen standing beside him.]



Okay so we've kept this secret because we wanted to wait to see how this went... But so far so good, right? [He glanced at Noct with a wide, happy grin.]


See, our chocobo's, they had babies! And they hatched! And it was touch-and-go for a bit but... Look!


[And here is where Prompto would take the camera off of himself and point it down toward the chicks. Three golden balls of feathers wandered near Noct's feet.]

[ After they show off the chocobo chicks, Noctis pulls the camera back in front of them, smile on his face. ]



We're thinking of setting up a race course, training these guys to race so we can share the national sport of Lucis with everybody. So, uh, if you've got any experience training chocobos... or anything, really, let me know. We may need some help.


(ooc note: Noct or Prom will be replying to comments!)

Backdated to Mid-June - First half action open for Rufus, Reno, and Rude, second half network for anybody else who wants to reply!

[ Tseng's first night in Nippon did not go at all as he initially thought after leaving the orientation provided to him upon his arrival. He spent the first few hours walking around Tokyo, trying to get the layout of the land, take in as much as he possibly could before retiring to his assigned housing for the night... He didn't expect to run into Rufus Shinra. And that chance encounter changed everything.

They spent the night together, getting reacquainted, relaxing, and Rufus telling him everything he has yet to experience in their own world. The things Rufus told him sounded positively ridiculous, but he knows Rufus wouldn't lie to him... It was overwhelming and will likely take Tseng a while to process.

He wakes mid-morning, pulling on the pajama pants he was given the night before and a t-shirt, and leaves Rufus asleep before heading downstairs to bring some coffee and breakfast back up to their room. He quietly descends the stairs and sees the Turks. ]


Reno. Rude.

[ He offers a small smile and a nod as he passes by, disappearing into the kitchen. ]

----

[ Once he's back upstairs and settled on the bed, he pulls out his magi-comm, studying the device before turning it on. It's certainly no smartphone, but it will suffice. ]

I'm looking for a few individuals and was told this is the best and quickest way possible to get their attention. [ He looks over at Rufus, who is off-screen, briefly ] If you know Zack Fair or Aerith Gainsborough, please tell them I'm looking for them and would love to talk.

[ He's commented sparsely on this platform, but this would only be the second time he's actively set up a network post for himself. Only this time, Cloud wasn't asking for "sparring" lessons. Thanks, Aether. ]

My name is Cloud Strife.

[ "Ex-SOLDIER, First Class," he has to remind himself to ixnay. It's going to be some time before the film inspired by kidnapped refugees from last year comes out, of which he's landed a minor role for. Until then? ]

I'm looking for work. I'm a mercenary by trade, but I can be flexible for the right price. I'm not opposed to hard work for good money, and I've got a military background if that checks any boxes.

Or if anyone knows anyone whose hiring, I'd appreciate it.


[ how do resume. ]

Hello, my name is Hu Tao and it's a pleasure to meet you all! I'm afraid that I'm still new to this place but I thought I could start by making some new friends here!

Please to enlighten me about your world. I'm curious as to where you are from!

If you don't wish to, then I shall ask a question! What ice cream flavor sums up your personality today?

Ah, another posit for advertising small business but anyone would be foolish to not utilize the network like this. I've opened a Tinker Emporium—that is, a Tinker, Salvage, and Repair shop. I'll fix or if it's within my means even enhance your broken wares, machines, items, trinkets, and weapons. Or add decorative aesthetic touches to them, I'm quite fond of that. The TSR is located in Shitaya, Tokyo.

I prefer yen but I'm amendable to alternate forms of payment such as discreet trade.

If you have any questions I'd be happy to answer them.

My, such an interesting way to communicate with others.

[Someone has been watching the network for a while before actually going about and making a post.]

Now if those in the strange white hoaris are to be believed, all of us are refugees from other worlds.

So I'm curious... What kind of worlds do you come from?

I come from a world similar to this one, only I suppose it's a couple hundred years in the past, and yokai are only a myth.

[A stone faced man sits in front of the camera. As usual, Koro is deadpanned and yet...anyone can see terror in his eyes. He is afraid. He is anxious. In fact, there is the slightest tremble in his hands. Whatever he's about to announce, it's serious.]

GUYS! Guys you're not gonna believe this!

I was out for a jog, just trying to find a good route, y'know? And I think I went out too far and... I FOUND MY GIRL!


[Prompto looked and sounded excited and he's quick to move forward and, after a little fiddling, he's set his magi-comm down on a wall and hurried back to pose all cool like with a big, yellow and equally cool looking chocobo!

Until Prompto hurries forward again, grabs up the device and comes back to lean into the neck of his chocobo and a less cool and more cheerful scene fills the screen!]



This is Birb guys! And yeah, I know, silly name right? But she liked it!


[Birb lets out a loud kweh and ruffles her feathers, clearly agreeing with Prompto's words. What had originally been a joke was a name she'd liked a lot and now wouldn't answer to anything else. After the fluff she began grooming Prompto's hair, much to his delight and embarrassment. He gives a half-hearted attempt to bat her away but, in the end, lets her mess his hair up as she will.]


That's it! Just wanted to show her off! She's pretty, right?

Hello, Nippon! I'm noticing a lot of new people, so I thought it would be fun if we played a little game called "Hot or Not."

Just post a picture of yourself or something and we can go around with our opinions as to whether or not you're attractive. I'll be playing too, once I get some bookkeeping stuff done at The Crypt.

Oh, and if you're not into someone, try not to be TOO MUCH of an asshole, got it?


[Alright, IC hot or not is here! Just try to link pictures instead of embedding them and warn for any NSFW.]
