Hi there, Ellipsa!

Today I'm making a bit of announcements plus a call for some volunteers:

1. The Technology Club will be working in conjunction with the Welcome Center! We'll be having Powerpoints and learning areas for any basic tech for those who have just arrived there. So if anybody who is either in the club or is well versed in technology in general would like to volunteer some hours, that would be great.

2. Secondly! While infrequent, Otherworlders do die on occasion. And while they do come back, dying sucks and can be something that is trying mentally and emotionally, even if physically... well. Which is why I'd like to offer up a new (unofficial) service for that! Basically, I'd like volunteers to help me out with checking out flower yards and offering to those who have newly died a gift basket full of goodies for them. Also: if any businesses would like to volunteer in filling these gift baskets as well for future purposes, feel free to get into contact with me.

tl;dr:
- Basic tech stuff will be taught at the Welcome Center for newbies, tell your friends
- New services for Otherworlders that have died recently, gift baskets will be offered
- Volunteers needed for both of these

That should be it. If you have any questions, comments or concerns, feel free to give me a shout; I'll answer as I can.

So... I've been thinking about it for a bit and decided to finally throw an idea out.

[He smiles, brightly.]

Since we have the Arts Festival in Spring, how would people feel about also having a Sports Festivals? We could do one for summer and one for winter!

We could have have tournaments, competitions and even workshops to learn new stuff.

[Because what's more fun than learning new stuff?? Especially when they were fun.]

If there's enough interest, I can help with the organization... but I can't run the whole thing by myself.

[Guess who was finally caught chalk stealing. Not that it affects the quest, they do still need the chalk. But she was made to apologize anyway.]

About the missing chalk... I just wanted to sincerely say.

[A deep breathe.

Then she smirks.]

My bad.

[ For those who may frequently keep an eye on the network, this will be a new face outside of Cinder. Gintoki plain does not use the network. But he has a couple of important announcements, and so he is here.

It takes a couple of seconds after the video turns on for him to decide that he got it right and the recording has started. Then he fiddles with the phone for another few seconds to get it into a decent position against the comic book he's laid on the table, his scowl slowly deepening until he finally leans back on the couch with a scoff. ]

Don't understand what's wrong with phones with buttons and good ol' video cameras.

[ Clearly muttered to himself, but audible.

Finally, he presses a curled fist up against his mouth and clears his throat. As his hand lowers, he puts on a somewhat disturbing smile as he reaches across the couch to pick up a bag of Special Flavor Coffee Beans. He makes a show of holding it up in front of the camera like he's in an advertisement or the TV shop or something, and speaks with a clearly fake enthusiasm that anyone who knows him would know is sort of uncharacteristic. ]

Miss out on getting your own bag of Special Flavour Coffee Beans at the charity auction? I've got a bag right here and I'm willing to part with it to the highest bidder! The bidding starts at a thousand Moon Coins.

[ I beg your deepest pardon. Don't they just sell that coffee at Moondrop anyway? Honestly, he doesn't know.

And then he just tosses the bag onto the couch like it's not precious. As he keeps talking, his voice settles into his usual lackadaisical drawl. ]

I'm also looking for a tailor. More exactly, someone who can tailor kimonos. See this?

[ He holds up his arm to fully show the blue cloud-like pattern at the end of the sleeve of his kimono. ]

This is a custom pattern fit for a protagonist. I got thrown into this place with just one of these kimonos, and that's unacceptable. I can't go around wearing plain yukatas most days of the week, I need my kimono!

[ Oh, suddenly the passion is back in his voice. It sounds way more real than his ridiculous coffee bean advert voice. He suddenly leans his head back against the backrest of the couch, covering his face with one hand. ]

I'm an embarrassment to my kind!

[ After a second or so, he seems to compose himself, lifting his head again to stare blankly into the camera. ]

And I could use a couple of haoris too. Oh, and you should give me some of them for free, 'cause it's my birthday. Everybody say happy birthday to Gin-san. I accept cakes, parfaits and chocolate.

[ Didn't even properly introduce himself, the nerve. He just leans forward and clicks post, or however it works. ]

[ The man on screen is tall and well-muscled, with impeccable posture and a detached expression. A pair of antlers branch above his head. His skin is grayish, his white hair is long, and he has what are quite frankly fabulous cheekbones. (To those who know Thanatos or Hypnos, the familial resemblance may be apparent.) ]

It was suggested to me that I speak to other gods about life in this realm. I am Moros.

[ That, he thinks, is introduction enough. ]

I have little "life experience" outside of my work, and my interactions with mortals have been confined to that. Knowing that, I ask: what do you believe would best prepare me for life in this realm?

[ He shifts his weight just slightly. ]

I also have a few questions for mortals. What is it you enjoy about life here? What causes you concern? Do you feel as if you are master of your own fate, or do you believe there is a greater design?

Greetings, residents of Ellipsa, and all those brought here.

[The voice that comes through is calm and clear.]

My name is Hornet and I am recently arrived, but strangely I find myself treading familiar ground.

Still, I wish not to assume anything of this place and so I have two questions.

The first, quite the general one: is there anything you feel important to know that may not have been immediately told to us upon arrival?

The second, we are only provided for for a short period, correct? Where would one go make their own means?

[A pause]

And if anyone hails from Hallownest, please let me know.

I have a few things to address about the whole Hell Dimension thing, but another completely unrelated announcement.

[He didn't use Rinku's post from earlier since this is sort of personal and kind of something he wants people to know... as much as it's annoying.]

A while back a group of us went to the Survival Fortress. During that time I was captured by demons for a bit. I saw at least three of them turn into "me". [He looks very, very sour at the memory.]

At least one of them died at the fortress. Another one died while the Hell Dimension mission was going on. But there are still at least a few left. So if you see me somewhere in the Winter Segment, call me first before assuming I'm doing something evil.

[Who knows what the demons get up to.]

... and if a vacuum cleaner starts doing something suspicious somewhere, that might be a demon king in disguise. Pretty sure it remained trapped in the dimension but you never know.

[ANYWAY--]

The other, better announcement is that we're holding a meeting at Odyssey for members to get to know each other! We also welcome anyone who is interested in joining.

If you feel like it, bring some snacks and drinks. We do have food for everyone, but what's a better way of bonding than showing your favorite food?

The headquarters is located in Frostreign [a fake map link]. It will be on October 11th, so this Saturday! Feel free to bring your friends with you, of course.

[ Even SecUnit is aware that humans often need some form of visual stimulus to go with reading text on a screen, but it is very anxious about showing it's human face on the screen when it doesn't have the ability to wear a blank face plate on its helmet at the same time to keep humans from looking at the expressions on its face. So instead, think of this post as one of those infographics that you will see on Instagram with falling snow in the background. ]

I'm used to having a med system that can slide into my feed and tell me exactly what I need to do for a traumatised human, but I don't have a med system that's independently functional here. I have access to basic human anatomy diagrams, but that is really it. I'm no good at the kinds of messy human emotions that come with trauma recovery. Is there some kind of med center that would be more helpful for a human's continued mental health?

[First thing you see is black and the sound of someone clearing their throat. A pause. And then they speak very loudly and very deliberately.]

HELLO? CAN YOU HEAR ME? THEY TOLD ME TO TALK INTO THIS.

[ The camera shifts to reveal a hand had been covering up the camera. You're now greeted with a view of a young man examining it, scrutinizing something...Perhaps trying to sus out the new technology he's been gifted with. It's not a very flattering view.

Look, where he's from, Alexander Graham Bell's telephone is still a new novelty he doesn't know any better. ]
