[Video] un: runyu

[ It's entirely possible that this post was orchestrated by the little antlered creature, with short hair pure white and eyes far too blue to be that of a 'normal' deer. The feed starts a little off kilter before a coo, then is set upright properly to display someone who could be thought as dancing with a sword - and light tinged blue. Runyu spins on his heel with ease, eyes closed as he focuses on the various forms he flows between.

Only to pause at some sense of being watched. Half turning, he glances towards his antlered companion before shaking his head faintly at it, seeing what it's been up to. Offering a bow, hands cupped before him as the sword is dismissed, he picks up the comm device. ]

As my Dream Beast has decided to put me on display, I feel it appropriate to offer lessons to any who might wish them. I may not be a martial deity, but I can hold my own when pressed. Those who are already skilled but may enjoy a new sparring partner are welcome as well.

Video; UN: 2stepsahead

[The video starts as it is clearly inside the starter apartments. A yellow fox looks at the screen with a discerning eye before he speaks. For those who have seen another very similar fox, this one's hair is different. It is grey and side swept. Yet the yellow fur, the blue eyes, and white muzzle are all the same. His voice is even the same.

Though his fashion sense is more uniform inspired than cyberpunk. Also he has no metal tails attached to his back. Just two fluffy fox tails that flick behind him.]

I remember announcement videos are often common in places like this. Yet another world, summoning forth anyone and everyone to save it and its native inhabitants.

My name is Miles Prower. Yes, I am a Mobeian. Yes I have two tails.

No, I have no childish nickname you may call me instead of my name. Miles will do just fine.

With the basics covered, I am seeking other Winter magic users. Unlike some, I am interested in the study and application of magic.

[He pauses to contemplate something before he speaks again.]

That's all.

[With that, he ends the video with a decisive push of a button.]

[ The video turns on, showing an anthropomorphic hedgehog. You might notice, if you were colorblind, that he looks exactly like a certain blue hedgehog, save for the leather jacket, sunglasses, and two scars across his chest and stomach. Oh, and the teeth. He's got a mouth full of sharp, jagged teeth.

For those of you who are inclined towards seeing color, he looks different from Sonic due to having green fur and blue eyes. And then there's the way he carries himself, which is in a manner akin to a delinquent. He stares at the screen for a moment, as if scrutinizing it, before his mouth twists into a grin and he begins speaking. ]

'Sup. The name's Scourge. Scourge the Hedgehog. Once and future king of planet Moebius. That's Moebius with an "e", by the way. Be sure to properly pronounce it!

Anyway, I got yanked out of a pretty important operation with my team. Thanks for that. Loooooved the white threads I got saddled with when I first showed up here, too. [ He rolls his eyes. ] This place does a great job of ingratiating itself to newcomers, you know that?

Anyway, I just figured I'd introduce little ol' me. No grandstanding. No showin' off. I got plans, but I've learned that I've got to earn my reputation instead of taking it for granted. Maybe I'll make a name for myself, maybe I won't.

[ He grins wider. ]

We'll just have t'see. So what's the rest of your stories?

[Baizhu is in his shop, the usual cabinets full of small, carefully labelled drawers set out behind him.]

If anyone happened to miss it, I would advise listening to Helene's announcement a couple of weeks ago in which she stated that the Research Centre is now ready to begin offering a cure for vampirism.

[He is not here to cast doubt upon her words or claims or to support it overtly, either. Baizhu has put his own work into this cure along with many others, but it isn't something he feels the need to speak out about.

The doctor has other concerns.]

Side effects of the treatment have been made public, and I find it within my interests to offer what aid I can to allieviate the potential discomfort of the process. [A small smile.] I will be keeping my pharmacy in Sunwaning open for two hours after nightfall to allow for anyone who might wish to call in. If you have other concerns, appointments to request, or need to pick up a prescription, please utilise the normal opening times.

[Just voice this time. He thinks he's probably shown his face more than enough of late.]

For those interested in knowing, the Casino headquarters of the Hearts gang is now entirely abandoned. Anything that remains inside is for the taking of anyone who has a mind to stroll in through the front door.

[Ultimately, it did feel too easy, somehow. This is a fact which has not escaped him and he will not be letting his guard down any time soon.]

Any group or individual attempting to revive their methods will be dealt with in a similar fashion.

[A beat.]

But now... a question, for curiosity's sake. [Also because the brief excitement is over and now he's bored.]

What, in your mind, makes somebody a 'monster'?

UN: KingofCorruption - Video

[The video starts with Max sitting on a plush looking couch. He is currently putting something together on the coffee table in front of him. He slides pieces together as he builds whatever it is he's making. Beside all the parts and springs, there is a tub of orange spheres. He looks up into the camera finally.]

Hello Ellipsa. It's me again. I've had a wonderfully fun idea so I decided to share it. As you can see, I'm building something. What is it, you may ask? I'm sure some of you can already tell. It is a paintball gun.

[He fits more pieces together as his smile grows wider.]

Why do you have a paintball gun? I hear some of you ask. Others What is a paintball gun? Another good question. It is a weapon that fires these little spheres filled with paint. It is part of a game called paintball. The goal? You shoot your friends with them to splatter paint on their clothes, their fur, and skin. It's all in good fun.

So this is my declaration of war in the name of fun. If I know you, I am going to try and shoot you. In good fun. And if you want to play, I challenge you to do the same thing. Shoot your other friends. Though we will have rules for this game. All good games have rules. We follow the Geneva Convention in this house. So. No shooting someone in the groin or in the head. Anywhere else is fair game. Though if someone waves a white flag or makes sure to express they don't want to play, no shooting them.

Best practices.

I am curious to see how long we can keep this game going. It ends when everyone stops playing. Will it last just a few days? Months? Will it last the remainder of our time here?

[The paintball gun is completed. He loads the paintballs into the chamber for the gun and cocks it.]

Oh! And before I forget. Goat. Chipp. I'm calling your debts. You have to play for the first three days. You can keep playing after, if you want. But you got have to help me jumpstart my paintball war. Forge alliances. Go solo. Pull people into the game. Let's see how big we can get it.

If you're worried about the mess on fur or clothes? It is a good thing you know a wish granting god who would gladly clean your fur and clothes for a discounted price during the game~

See you all out there on the battlefield. Now if you excuse me, I'm gonna go shoot my fiancé in the ass. Okay Byyyyyyeeee~

[He aims off screen, fires, there is a squeak, and he laughs before the video ends.]

I have a stomach ache. Does anyone have a good recipe for soup? Remember, I'm a flower, I can't eat meat. Usually. {She has had fish before.}

Should I put my cat on my belly? He has lost weight, but he might still be too big. I bet I can make him purr, though!

six ⚡ anonymous post

There's something I've been thinking about for a bit now and I wanted a bit of advice for it.

Let's just say you're hiding a secret from someone. A big one. This secret does involve them, but they're not aware of it. It's something that would probably get me into big trouble if I told them back home.

So I guess what I'm asking is: should I tell them here?

[ OOC / While this post itself won't reveal any Heaven Burns Red spoilers due to Megumi continuing to be vague, please let me know if you're okay with spoilers at all; my permissions post about it can be found here! ]

[ Ishkode took a while to make this post but... he's having a crisis and he needs to do something. Somehow. In his fretting, he's completely forgotten to maybe close it off from the people he's talking about. Feel free to answer him back anonymously or not, whatever your character would be likely to do! All of his responses will stay anon, though. ]

Hey, Ellipsa, I need some advice.

Since I got here, I met a lot of fantastic people.

I totally fell head over heels for one of them and, somehow I lucked out, cause they fell for me right back and we're dating now. I'm crazy about them! We click like I've never clicked with anybody. They just get where I'm coming from and understand me. It's like we're on the same wavelength whether it's serious stuff or being a couple of gremlins. They're amazing and wonderful and funny and sweet and beautiful and... well, you get the idea. I could gush forever. I've never felt this way for anybody before!

Can you feel the 'but'..? Cause there's a 'but'...

I also have a friend. The best and most amazing friend I've ever had. They've been there for me in so many ways, since day one of my being here no less. They helped me get settled and started here. They've been there for the highs and the lows, every time. We've shared some really important things with each other and I trust them with my life. They're amazing and wonderful and funny and sweet and gorgeous and... yeah.

Are you seeing the pattern here?

I know what being poly is. I understand how that's supposed to work in theory.

But how in the hell do you put that into practice?

How do I bring this up with either of them? Should I even try? The chances of me screwing up and ruining everything are probably sky high? Would it be better to just try to make the feelings go away? I don't think I can. And I'm pretty sure my bestie has feelings for me, too. I'm really bad at hiding my own, it turns out. So they've gotta be wondering about me.

I just don't know where to even start? I'd be the first guy to say 'talk to them' but, man... being the one on this side of everything, now, all I can think is:

How the fuck do I even do that?!
