Four Jewels: Spinel Studding [Video | Water Trough]

[destinedforrock]

[Once connection is established, Cinderella turns up the end of her nose and just opens her mouth to say something. Then her ears swivel, and she turns away to peer outside her stable.

The background noise is clear - there are a couple dozen different human voices all hearable in turn, near half of them children's.

When Cinderella returns to her trough, she leans in close and says one word, in a high, clipped whisper.]

...Cake.

Humans do love - cake. Hm?

[Her whisper intensifies. She simply must know:]

And exactly how is it?

SAGE PARTY GO

[reapsthewind]

Who: frankly anybody, even if you're new
What: Going to explore a mine! Finding a Sage who claims to know what's going on! Except...
Where: abandoned coal mine
When: Wednesday during the day. SKIP CLASS, I GUESS.

I figure we'll just start with Chris' team doing exploration, until the modly folk decide to show up with the Sage himself, and then... go from there.

episode 01 [Video | Smartphone]

[wannabered]

[Tom had chosen to type the numbers into his nondescript smartphone, everyone getting a nice view of his face and the under furnished apartment behind him.]

Now, can someone tell me what exactly is going on? I'm looking back and I'm seeing people talking about monsters and the police and someone dying? Is this some local joke or something? One of those weird roleplay forum things? Viral marketing?

[Poor Tom looks so confused as his free hand toys with the scarf around his neck.]

First there's that light in the sky, then the numbers for this network pops into my head, and then I suddenly find out I'm wearing a scarf. Things have been pretty normal since then, I knew the east coast was weird, but I didn't think this weird.

I'm Thomas by the way, moved into Locke city back in March.

you know you can't actually burn water [closed]

Who: Shiro and Chris
What: Teaching Chris a few simple dishes. Hilarity ensues.
Where: Shiro's apartment
When: Backdated to... Sunday? Sure.

It was inevitable, really. Shiro couldn't stand to see someone who couldn't cook. EVERYONE could cook! They just had to learn, use the right tools and tricks. He has a variety of stuff out; pots and pans and a rice cooker, some precooked items, boxed curry, eggs, knives, cutting boards... He figures he'll teach her a few easy things like scrambled eggs, curry, and microwave brownies. He nods at his spread, then checks his phone. Yep, he'd told Chris to be here in about 15 minutes. He sends her a quick text.

His hunger is present as always, though, and he has a bit of barely seared, almost raw, steak that he's cutting into pieces to eat. This chunk of meat would keep his hunger at bay while he cooked, at least.

audio, shitty cellphone

[stealinghats]

Hello? ... Hello? [There's a long pause as Victor tries to determine if anyone answered the phone or not, because obviously that big long number had to be a phone number of some sort. There's no dial tone or anything, so he decides it must be leaving a message (or the person is a creeper and just listening to him in silence, but uhhhhhh nty he'd rather not think about that as an option).]

... Yes, well. Ahem. I do believe I owe you an apology, it seems I've lost track of your order—you did order something or other, correct? This is Dubois, by the way. I hope my response isn't too dreadfully late, things have been a little, ah, hectic for me lately, to say the very least. Long story. I won't bore you with the details.

At any rate, this is likely a mistake on my part. If it is late, I suppose I'll offer you a discount for the inconvenience. Call me back when you're available and we'll sort out exactly what's going on here. My number is [actually over here not that there's really a reason to call his phone when he's already connected to the secret number club secret number network] in case you lost it.
