Date: June 1

[As usual with Ebisu, this video takes place within his office where he's cheerfully looking into the camera. Is a dandy little vest and button up on today again? Oh, absolutely.]

Greetings, everyone. I'm sure that you are all quite busy, with events transpiring as they have, but I am here today to draw your attention to a festival which is occurring all month. I understand that many of you are gods foreign to Japan and recent cultural trends, so I hope this proves to be informative.

In the city of Nara- Naramachi to be exact- there is an art festival that will be ongoing throughout all of June. It's really a rather unique event! You see, that part of town has the nickname of Nyaramachi, because it's rather famous for its local cat population. So the art festival which takes place this month is very cat oriented! Hopefully it can help ease some of the stress that we've all been under. I've been told there are a variety of events to attend, and various items that can be bought, such as pottery or toys.

Although... If there are some people who perhaps have the time for it, it does seem as though there is a little trouble, as there usually is with large Near Shore events such as this. If anyone has the time to check in on a few things... Well, it would be appreciated. For all that this is a very fun event, well, it is ultimately for the sake of the feline residents' health and happiness, you see. I'm sure it's not only the humans which would appreciate any helping hands.

reloves

From: Minako
Date: May 1st

Um.. hey!

[ Although Minako smiles, there's something a bit muted about her. If not just for the fact that the volume of her voice currently isn't rupturing your eardrums right away with the greeting. ]

I thought I should let everyone know, since a lot of people know her.. But it's probably going to be difficult to reach Zelda for a while. Because she's asleep! And, you know, not just "doesn't want to get up in the morning" asleep. More like.. "sudden spring hibernation" sleep? Which is something that.. sometimes happens, I guess!

[ It's fine. This is fine. It's fine! See, she's smiling. Totally cool. ]

I guess.. until she wakes up, I'm going to try and take care of Metis temple affairs. [ Sure, Natsuru is there too, but Minako is the Exemplar! Not to mention Minako does have a natural leader sense - despite her lack of memories - and a huge sense of responsibility. It comes natural to try and take the whole world on her shoulders if needed. ] So if you need anything.. just let me know instead!

.. yeah, that's all. Thanks for listening, everyone!

welcome_home

From: Nanshe
Date: April 19th

[ Nanako appears on the video screen this morning (because video is still easier than typing out longer messages) looking a little confused. And... maybe a little different? Is her hair longer? Has something else changed? It's hard to tell. But she's frowning very seriously as she records the video and looks to be trying to figure something out herself. ]

I... I'm back? I'm back in my temple again. Hello? Was I gone a long time? Are people still here? Sora's not here anymore - I can't feel him at all - but Chikusa? Ken? Is everyone else still here? How long was I gone for? I don't know what happened. I was home again and... now I'm back.

[ For a moment, she looks like she's about to cry over that, so she quickly closes the video again. ]

starfestival

From: Orihime Date: April 8th 2017 (Morning)

[ Rise and shine early birds! There's a prim-looking young woman who is smiling broadly and doing her darndest to contain herself as she speaks formally to all who will listen. She is well-dressed enough, but her hair is completely down. ]

Good morning, all who dwell in the Far Shore! I must speak with you about an urgent matter - and so I resolved to use this device once more, to the best of my ability.

[ She holds up a single finger. ]

I have just learned that the regular training scheduled to engage with new gods would be in service of one new god! So I have made the following bargain with Amaterasu-sama -- that I would personally speak with and train this new god in the ways of the Far Shore in exchange for a holiday excursion for all who would join us! I just... could not stand idly by after you all worked so hard and dealt such a blow to those who threatened us!

[ She lowers her hand. ]

There is just one small problem...

[ She looks expectantly up once more, a resigned sort of smile there. ]

I do not know all of you as well as I would like! So if I were to bring a suggestion or two for such an excursion before Amaterasu-sama, I do not know what that should be! I have... certainly never been able to consider such things myself, so I would not be a good person to decide for all of you.

Therefore, would you do me the favor of telling me: where do you consider a beautiful place to travel to and relax? Perhaps a place that is better suited to entertainment? I heard of a place called Capypa Land...

[ She shakes her head. ] This is not about me. [ And calms herself again. ]

Unfortunately we do not have much time, so please-!!

[ She bows her head, a little awkwardly since she's holding the phone. ]

[[ OOC Plotting Post is over here! ]]

CelePara Prince Hour!

[ The screen goes black for a second, then is filled with a logo declaring this broadcast something from "MPriM Pictures". The logo is a goat in an oval picture frame. Lifting its head, it bleats.

This is going to be good. ]

( spoilers within for the movie of the prillennium )

trustheart

[The video feed is a first person view of a bunch of purple stuffed goats, mounted on wheeled platforms, chasing after someone who's running. Some of them have ribbons around their necks, some of them has attachments connected to their platforms for a variety of jobs. For those that know of them, they'd be recognizable as Hibiki's spy goats.

The camera moves to show Chris's face, who looks both winded and angry as she shouts at her device.]

THEY'VE BEEN AFTER ME ALL DAY! SOMEONE SEND HELP!

SHIKYOIN, DON'T THINK I KNOW THAT THIS IS YOUR FAULT!

replicatedform

From: Yamanbagiri Kunihiro
Date: March 4

[He have debated between using video and text for this. Until something made him decide.]

Sakura, who was Konohanasakuya here, is gone. As her now former shinki, if anyone still have business with her, I can do them in her stead if it's possible for me. Otherwise, just keep them on hold for now.

[Text. Texting so he can avoid letting people hear his voice after such a confusing morning.]

For some reason, there's also a horse in my room when I woke up. Can someone lend me some gear and help me lead it out? I don't want to leave it alone in my room.

[Ugh, he lost his god and gain a horse. This doesn't seem fair to him?! He'll figure out other things, like getting a name, later. This morning's just chaotic to his emotions.]

(OOC: He will be staying with, and later get named by, Oscar (

repinned). People are still free to offer help or anything else!)

[Suddenly this image appears on your network feed. It's a cry for help. ]

I seem to have a pawblem. A friend of mine is missing.
His name is Spots and his current whereabouts are unknown.

Like the poster says, please assist if you can. The sooner we find him the better.

He gets temperamental when he's hungry :(

Of course, I'll hand out a purrfect reward to the person who contributes the most.

Contact this address for more information. Thank you for your time.

From: Lavi

[It's early in the morning when something like static almost sounds.

Then Lavi's voice comes on:]

Cardia--otherwise known as the goddess, Hel--is gone. [His voice sounds...almost emotionless, the crack in it being the only bit of emotion giving him away as if he's trying his best to hold something back.]

Nothing's left.

[Nothing. Not even Sisi is left behind. Lavi is quick to cut it off and won't respond right away.]

From: Ginia

[Text]
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.]

[Text]
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.

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

[ Yes, this post is a marvel of technology, being screened AWAY from a certain person. How did Caster managed that feat? It's simple, he asked someone more technologically inclined, aka his Exemplar, to make sure that it really is screened away from her ]

Hey, just wanted to drop that here, but remember Ginia? That cool and kind badass girl? She just might be your friend. If that how it is, I have some important info for you: her birthday is on the 1st of January, so if you wanna drop by to tell her something nice, it would be a perfect day to do so!

[ This video is shot at a weird angle, looking up at the people on the camera from ground level. It's also happening in media res, no introduction, no explanation.

But what's happening is fairly obvious.

It's a guitar battle. Hibiki on acoustic guitar, her opponent on electric bass. They are managing to make it work.

But both of them are incredibly in the moment, here. If you want to get their attention, you might have to yell. ]

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!

[ Elfnein has set up a nice looking backdrop in her lab in order to record this. Hopefully no one will notice the piles of unfinished tech hiding behind it all though. ]

Hello, my name is Elfnein and I have a request from fellow gods and shinki. I’m trying to gather data related to gods, their temples and locations in order to figure out why some gods move to different locations and why some stay in the same location.

[ She props up a tablet that has some slides on it to show. ]

This will be completely anonymous, and you can pick up and drop off your completed forms off at a box in my temple. Or if you don’t care for the anonymous part you can directly tell me your answers so I can factor it in differently.

Thank you for your time, here are the questions I’m trying to gather data for.

1. What location is your current temple?
2. How many people currently live there?
3. On average how many tasks do you do in order to please followers in a 30 day period?
4. Has your temple moved before?
5. How long have you been here?

(ooc: You can post completed questions to this post or on this journal entry. )

[The video opens on...someone who is definitely not Chinatsu, sitting on a stark white couch in front of smooth earthen walls. It's a woman in her early to mid 20s, wearing a yukata in a careless enough manner that it's listing badly to one shoulder, with her hair done in a circular curl on one side of her head, finished with a shining, formal pin despite the abundance of hairs that have come loose of the hairdo. The arm holding the phone has a network of very faint knife scars down it, only visible because of her sleeves being tied up right now so as not to get in the way.

Though she's clearly not feeling it, she manages to force a smile and wave to open the conversation.]

Hello everyone. I'm not Chinatsu-kun, which you must already know if you know her, but I'd like to thank her for lending me her phone. This is...something I think I should say myself.

[Her attempt at a smile collapses quickly into something more strained and worried, though she manages to salvage it to collect herself into a more serious, but still grave manner.]

I haven't met most of you, but my name is Kotori, and I'm one of the shinki to Kurosaki Shun, otherwise known as Nekhbet. [She bites her lip a bit, keeps going.] I know there's some of you I should've told this to personally, and I'm sorry to them, but...he's missing. Not gone like what happens to you newcomers sometimes, just--

[Letting out a breath, she tracks back to an explanation.] He took me on an early morning patrol on the 11th. Maybe two or three AM, it's not uncommon for him to run out at that hour...but one of the places he wanted to check was that forest that moves around the Heavens. I think some of you might know what I'm talking about already. It's been...worse, in the last few days. Like it's reaching out to us. It had already been getting worse, but this...

[She grits her teeth, running a hand through her hair.] Don't let anyone else near it alone. I don't know what happened that day, I couldn't see it when I was a vessel, and all I could hear was the trees. And then I was changed back and he ordered me to run, and he never gives orders unless it's-- [Another break off, like she's angry with herself for having to pause so much, before she takes a deep breath.] I was lucky to find the edge of the forest, but he wasn't with me. That forest took him, and I don't think Kurosaki-sama is the only one. I don't think it's going to end by itself. I could feel it on my heels when I ran, and I can still feel it now...like it's trying to lure us and keep us there. Have any of you felt it too? Or seen others taken by it?

It needs to be stopped. And I don't know how to do it...but I can try and help you all a little if you're going to try. I owe that much.

[[This is the pre-event announcement/lead-in for the Hungry Forest event that begins on IC November 14th. Characters may ask questions of Kotori or discuss disappearances between themselves (or just make certain disappearances public knowledge), or try to plan things out for the next day - whatever helps!]]

Poster: Nekhbet
Date: November 8th

I've spoken to a few other people about trying to put together a record of disappeared shinki, since it's harder to tell when they disappear than with gods. If you have a shinki that's gone or know one who has, talk to Wendy at the Shinki Sanctuary so she can record it.

[His link is to her previous post on it, so people know where it is.]

But the main reason I'm posting is that I've updated the record of events. One of the gods who'd been here longest, Midoriya Izuku (Aidos), used to keep a posted record of events here that he'd update every few months. The last update was in June, and he's vanished from here recently. So I thought I'd update the thing myself since I've been here long enough and people keep asking about what's been going on before they were here.

His last update is here, for anyone who hasn't read it yet. I'm not copying it here, otherwise it'll make this twice as long.

( cut for length, cw: non-graphic murderplot talk )

If anyone thinks there's anything that should be added or wants more information on something, go ahead and ask. But if you just want to complain about specific people or things, go make your own post. This one's for reference.

[True to his word, Shun will screen or delete comments he thinks are in bad faith.]
