[Edge puts himself on full view in the video for the sake of people who don't know him, emphasizing things such as the mask, the cloak, the weapons at his side. Though it isn't a black stealth outfit concealing his form entirely, what else could anyone call him but a ninja?]

Hello, everyone! My name is Edge, and as you've no doubt deduced, I am a ninja. More to the point, I'm a ninja willing to teach those who want to learn the techniques I have to offer. Stealth, disguise, throwing weapons, combat techniques both armed and unarmed that focus on quick and aggressive takedowns -- I'll even teach what ninjutsu I can, if I find students with the knack for it. All of these are techniques we can use in our efforts to fufill prayers, fight ayakashi, or investigate trouble in the Far Shore or the Near. Of course, you don't need to learn all of them, if you're only interested in stealth, or physical combat, or whatever suits you!

[Edge glances to the side, slightly.] This was... originally intended to be a joint effort with Ayumu. I think she would want me to continue it, though I'm not going to be able to teach everything she could have, so sorry about that.

In any case. [Putting that somber thought behind.] If you're interested, do let me know. Classes will be held at my god Saber's temple, flexible times for people who might be busy. We'll work it out once I know who's in. Hope to see you there!

[Seriously, don't ask how many takes this video required.]

I remembered something a couple of weeks ago. I thought it was a dream at first, but I know now that it's a memory from sometime before I shuffled off this mortal coil.

I haven't been able to forget it. I see it every time I try to sleep. It's been almost three weeks now and it's still there.

I'm getting heartily sick of the damn thing. Is there any way to forget again?

so
its been like a week since new year
and i havent seen anyone posting about new years resolutions yet
you know
those promises you make to yourself at the start of the year that youre definitely going to hold to
and then a week later youre lying on your bed eating chips and soda again because you almost definitely promised yourself you were going to work out more and then didnt
is that not a tradition here

if it is then tell me about your resolutions that are totally going to happen
since were past the one week honeymoon period
maybe i can give you advice on how to stick to them
or if you pay me i can be your personal resolution trainer
with motivational 80s music montages and everything
for like a month since if you can't keep it yourself past then youre fucked anyway
but you can always say you tried
even if i did most of the trying for you

anyway
resolutions
go

[The recording starts with extreme close up of a piece of wood. Iskandar's voice comes from a slight distance a bit muffled.]

Did it start? Should I put it like this? No? Why should I turn it around? Switch to front camera? What's a front camera? Oh, right! Oh right, I'll turn it around.

[The camera image shakes for a moment but when it finally stops it shows Iskandar sitting on a low ladder the type you usually find in libraries. There is a glimpse of Satya covering her face with both hands. The gesture is not unknown to any technically savvy person who ever tried to explain technology to an earnest relative with said relative having no idea how it works but insisting they know what they're doing - He's Lord of Asia! King of Conquerors! He knows what he's doing! - and failing miserably at it. But he's learning! Give him an hour! If he only had the patience to actually use that hour to learn before trying to use it. Hint: he doesn't.]

Greetings! For those few who don't know me yet I am Iskandar. It has come to my attention that the modern times have great selection of literature.

[You people have no idea how infinitesimally blessed you are! You should be forever grateful to the gods! That's roughly what his expressions says right now.]

Yet it is unfortunate that some of it is, mildly speaking, left wanting. That is why I am addressing all that would heed my call. What books would you recommend? For I greatly desire to read something worthy of my time.

Furthermore, if someone felt in mood of discussing great works of literature with me or even better a group I'm more than happy to organise the, how they call it? Ah, a book club! Should anyone be interested they may contact me here or leave a message at my temple.

[That's where recording ends.]

Has anyone bothered to celebrate birthdays here? The calendar here is a little bit different than the one I'm used to, [Almost feels like it even runs slower too. Weird right?] but if I got it right, mine is this month.

It would be the first time I'll have one so far away from home too.

[There was something almost kind of sad about that.]

May the record forever show the true nature of Caster, Archer, and Lancer.♥

[Four videos and another text message go up in rapid succession.]

[Video 1]
[Ginia offers a smile and a small wave before she begins signing. Her signs are smooth and clear, a measured speed for clarity. She's filming in her temple, the large den her backdrop.]

Hello, my name is Ginia. Awhile ago, I spoke to Lavi about offering sign language practice to his students, but was unable to reach out to his students due to life circumstances.

I thought I would ask now if any of his current students would like tutoring or someone to practice with. I'm also happy to help anyone that would like to learn sign language. We can work individually or in a group setting, whatever people would prefer.

Feel free to comment here or message me at [IC contact] any time. Thank you for your time.

[In the background of her video, as Ginia signs her message, Lancer enters with a full laundry basket. And a bucket of water? He sets the bucket down, sits on the couch, and begins folding the laundry. Or at least he attempts too. Never has someone struggled so much with folding shirts into neat squares. As he sets the folded clothes aside on the couch, one of the temple's large white dogs wanders in, climbs onto the couch, and flops on all of Lancer's work.]

[Video 2]
[Upon reviewing the video and realizing the event in the background, Ginia decides to film a second video. Can't embarrass her fellow shinki after all.]

[The setup is similar, though this time the background is the kitchen. As Ginia records, Archer walks into view and sets some treats on the floor. A large white dog wearing a Hawaiian shirt sits by the treats. This continues until there are four white dogs lined up in the background, all wearing different Hawaiian shirts. Once the last dog - a small, wiggly puppy - is in place, Archer drops a pair of sunglasses on the first dog, winks at the camera, and walks out.]

[Video 3]
[Dammit Archer!]

[The third video in the same big common area as the first. While the events in the background of previous two could have been accidents, at this point it’s clear the men in the background are doing it on purpose. Lancer is lying on the floor, arms spread out, and Archer and Caster are busy laying a pile of big white dogs on top of him. The first one doesn't protest, the second wags his tail excitedly, the third one is *unsure* but goes along anyway. There is also a small pupper that on her own decides to sit on Lancer's ankle. Caster is laughing and commenting but Archer looks at this masterpiece with critical eye - something is missing, something crucial. With sudden and strong pat on Caster's back, he sends him flying with a loud "geh" right on top of that pile.

There, perfect.]

[Ginia doesn't even try to record a message. A hand covers her face, shoulders shaking with laughter.]

[Video 4]
[There's no point trying anymore. Ginia gives the camera an exasperated eye roll. In the background, the men have stacked on each other like a totem pole: Lancer as the base, Archer on his shoulders, and Caster on top shouting directions as the tower of tall trolls lumbers toward Ginia.

Ginia reaches to the side and pulls out a large, brightly colored plastic gun and begins to unload foam darts on them, hitting each one squarely in the face a few times. As they stagger and try to retreat, drawn by the noise and falling darts, the puppy and one of the larger dogs begun to run around their feet, tripping Lancer and toppling all three to the ground.

Shouldering the gun, Ginia turns back to the camera and winks.]

If anyone is interested in learning sign language, or knows sign language and would like someone to practice with, I'm willing to teach or provide practice sessions. These can be individual or group-based, whatever people would prefer.

[It's just a voice post because Leo had a shower idea and he's in no condition to be seen.]

A thought occurred to me. There's a lot of people in Heaven now who are from worlds that don't have things like cell phones or the internet or microwaves. I'm from one such world, so would others be interested in lessons on how to navigate a world like this one? I'm no expert, obviously, but since most of the "how to" guides and lessons you can find are aimed at people with a basic knowledge of what a computer or telephone is they're not exactly helpful. Unless you like beating your head against a wall in frustration, that is.

---------------------

[Wendy has set up her camera carefully on a desk somewhere within Hibiki's very fancy and nice temple, which means her backdrop is a super plush chair and elegant curtain. She herself is dressed up in one of her nicer dresses (which is a lot of them), and looks seriously into the camera.]

We've gotten some new shinki and gods since I made my initial post, but I want to take this time to remind everyone of the Shinki Sanctuary. For shinki who've lost their gods suddenly and are without a home, you're more than welcome to come stay there. It's modest, but it does the job, and it gives you the benefit of not having to be pressured into joining with another god right away.

The Sanctuary also offers a matchmaking service! This is available to everyone, shinki and god alike, no matter if you're already working with someone. We need more people to sign up, so drop by and fill out some paperwork whenever you can! We make sure that gods and shinki have a chance at getting to know each other before anyone is named, so you don't have to worry about that. And if a god names a shinki without their permission...

[Have you ever seen a pre-adolescent girl look like she'd coolly shank you in a dark alleyway and kick your body into a river? Now you have.]

We'll handle it.

But here's something I'm not sure a lot of shinki know- you can be named by more than one god! The only people who really seem to care are the old gods, and, honestly, it's not like they really interact with us anyway, so it doesn't matter.

[They don't even communicate themselves on the BBS. Trust her. She's asked.]

I'm a nora myself, so, if anyone has any questions about that kind of thing, feel free to ask them! I want to help people know all their options.

So I read online that Round 2 is having a promo on laser tag on the 6th. It's got an arcade and some other stuff like virtual reality rides to check out too, and all sorts of food like yakiniku and kushikatsu. Pretty sure they've got some food challenges. There's also an onsen near by which is perfect for this weather. We could head there after. Sounds like a good way to unwind, and a bunch of you don't seem too familiar with 'fun', so you should totally go.

I'll definitely be there if anyone else is interested!

Two questions: First is does anyone know how to build a greenhouse? Or if it would be just easier to use a root cellar and provide sunlamps for what's growing? I'm used to living in a much different climate than this place so growing seasons and conditions are a little different.

Second question is does Japan have a traditional Christmas wreath material or would going for a pine/fir tree wreath be fine? Also, if you're interested in making any to hang around, I don't mind showing how to do that.

[On the screen is an armoured cavalry soldier and his horse. The two of them seems to be snacking on what seems to be cut up apple slices from a plate. It would be normal, except the apple slices seem to be... rather big compared to their bodies.

The camera moves, showing Yamanbagiri. Who looks both a little confused and... also rather big compared to the cavalry soldier and the horse. Maybe it's the soldier and the horse who are tiny after all.]

These two appeared in my room yesterday. I don't know what they are, except that they like to follow me around.

Does anyone recognise them, or have any idea what they are?

Date: November 10

------------------------------------

[The video opens up with a little bit of tilting to make sure the view is set straight, and that of a small child leaning forward with intense interest. Something apparently is apparently signalled to him offscreen, however, because he promptly straightens.]

Greetings! I know that some of you met me the other day during the training session at the Heaven's meeting hall, but I would like to formally introduce myself to those who haven't. I am Ebisu, God of Fortune regarding commerce and fishing.

I've been very busy as of late, but things have slowed down enough that I think I will be able to interact with this new generation of gods and their shinki. I hope to work alongside all of you as best as I can.

Please treat me well.

Out of curiosity, if you don't like sweet things and you fear someone's going to do something for your birthday, what should you suggest in place of a cake?

clothes_make_the_man

[Usually after his morning fashion routine, can be seen out and about in the Far Shore, or at least behind his temple tending the lotus flowers in his garden. Today, however, he is nowhere to be found. This might be a cause for concern if not for the video feed that is eventually broadcast from inside his temple. There's a light meow from one of D2's cats briefly pawing at Forrest's phone as the feed clicks on, showing Forrest still dressed in his bathrobe and slippers, hair pinned up, and utterly riveted to a marathon of Say Yes to the Dress. And apparently he's just as opinionated as the various bridal entourages on the show itself, judging from the things he yells at the screen every so often. Excerpts follow.]

Oh, honey, no, listen to Randy!

That's awful! Your mom isn't getting married in this dress, you are!

Aww, don't listen to them, I think you look absolutely darling in that lace!

Oh... that's just... oh. Well, I suppose the important thing is she likes it.

I need to meet Pnina Tornai.

OW!!

[It’s not the most graceful way to start a feed, but, trust him, he wasn’t planning on it! The real focus shows up soon enough once the device stabilizes and Rin’s finished hissing and cursing under his breath: a swish and a flick of a tail, a growl... and two blue eyes glaring down at him from the top of a cat tree.

Yes, he’s being terrorized by a cat (his fifth attempt today) and he can’t deal with the rejection.]

You piece of– I barely even touched you!

[The black cat proceeds to yawn before resuming its busy task of trying to fall asleep. Rin meanwhile curses before adjusting the camera down to reveal his hand... and wrist... and a bit of his forearm... all covered in bright red claw marks.

The following groan of annoyance does little to mask the underlying disappointment.]

Che. How did Makoto do this? [he mutters before adding (even softer, perhaps a little sheepish)]

... How do you... make cats like you?

all_seeing_eye

[The feed flicks on to show a hooded figure dressed all in black, standing in front of an intricate summoning circle painstakingly drawn on the floor in some sort of dark powder and holding a lit torch. There are candles positioned all around the room, providing just enough of a glow to see what's going on. The mysterious figure pulls back the hood, revealing itself as one Futaba Sakura. A strange and discordant music accompanied by what sounds like a chorus of voices chanting in reverse fills the chamber, and Futaba closes her eyes as her voice joins them.]

I am Yog-Sothoth! Lurker at the Threshold, the Key and the Gate, Opener of Ways, All-in-One and One-in-All!

[She begins to wave the torch back and forth as if casting some sort of horrible arcane spell.]

I am the bearer of the Silver Key!

[Placing a hand inside her robes, she pulls out what is indeed a very fancy and shiny key, holding it aloft.]

Starspawn - those who lurk beyond time and space - your lord commands you to rise! YOG-SOTHOTH NAFL'FTHAGN!!!

[As she yells out those last few inscrutable words, she throws the torch onto the circle. The powder begins to burn, and eventually what appear to be numerous horrifying yellow tentacles begin to arise from the resulting smoke, which is quickly sucked up and out of frame. Raising her arms in exultation, Futaba tilts her head back and begins to cackle loudly amid the chaos. This goes on for about a minute or two until the feed cuts out.]

Okay, so! After that post yesterday I've been thinking. What about shinki who don't remember their birthday?

I think, if we don't remember our birthday, we should get to pick one that suits us! You know, to be fair. Everybody deserves a party.

I think I'm totally a Leo. Or an Aries! Or -- hey, what's the sign for people born about now? If I'm gonna get cake, I don't want to wait all year.

What about you?

Does anyone out there know how to make weapons? Or have access to ones that aren't the usual sort you see around the temples?

I've been using this sword, a katana, for a while now, but I'm starting to feel the small differences between what I'm using and what my body expected are holding me back. Trouble is, I'm not sure just what I'm after, either, so that makes it harder... but I want to see if I can find a weapon that truly fits me. Something like I used when I was alive, I guess.

Can anyone teach me how to shoot a bow? I tried learning on my own but it's hard. :(

stonebird

Date: October 22nd

(The burned room in her tower needs some t-l-c. Sansa has her soulless shinki helping her hang new draperies - quite a feat considering the size of the windows.)

I have my - Dali's - followers to thank for all of this fabric. I wondered if I should ask them for such a strange offering, but I do not regret it.

(She will make it up to them, somehow. Dusting off her hands, she pours two drinks, handing one to Eteri.)

Are there any rideable horses on the Far Shore, by chance? As I do not have a carriage or other means of conveyance, I must rely on walking otherwise.

(Especially since she is not fond of using magic unless push comes to shove.)

- no, thank you, Eteri. (Her expression softens at something the shinki says.) I can learn or sit sideways.
