WHO: Edward Kenway and Lapis de Fiore
WHERE: the museum!
WHEN: early April!
WHAT: Night at the Museum, Kaisou Edition.
WARNINGS: blanket AssCreed warnings for possible allusions to murder and violence, violence enacted on a skeleton, and Edward Kenway’s grudge against an enduring childhood icon and dinosaurs in general.

[This was supposed to be an easy job. Get in, find and destroy the artifact, get out, and in the meantime babysit some rambunctious kids on their field trip. Fine. Edward has looked after grown men drunk out of their minds on cheap rum, of course he can look after small children, especially with Lapis helping him! Certainly this won’t go poorly at all.

Here’s a problem that presents itself almost immediately: the kids all hate him. Apparently none of them are over last year’s incident where he punched Barney, which is incredibly unfair, he only did that once and anyway Barney started it, if he’d just answered his and Dorian’s questions about where that overgrown horned lizard had gone instead of getting belligerent then Edward wouldn’t have needed to punch him.

That’s. Fine. Lapis can handle the kids. Edward will circle around with Eagle Vision on, keeping an eye out for that telltale flash of gold as they wander through the museum. He circles back around to Lapis, the colors seeping back into his vision as he does so. Christ, all the children are painted red, it's giving him such a headache.]


Nothing yet. I did see a piece of wood that the museum says comes from a man-o’-war called the Wager, but that’s not—oh, who’s this little lad?

WARNINGS: spooky spooky ghosts. references to possession. will update with more warnings.

[The door opens.

Noctis, more or less using the broom in his hand as support for his full weight, blinks blearily at the sprawling hall before him and his two teammates. He yawns, then coughs—oh god that’s dusty.]


Right. Twenty-four hours should be enough to clean this whole place, I guess. [Right? Except Noctis honestly isn’t sure he can last that long. Maybe in three hours he’ll call it for himself and go sleep on the bed upstairs.] Where to first?

WHO: Lapis & the network
WHERE: Libra app
WHEN: Jan 6th
WHAT: Lapis has discovered the new world regain.
WARNINGS: Just a lot of cute tbh

[ It takes Lapis a moment to adjust the video - seems like she's at the theatre - and the moment of adjusting is because one hand is cradling something that's... meowing? Or close to meowing. She's keeping a hold of it, since she's not letting the damn thing run off again. ]

So there's been these little cat creatures around just recently. Or I think they're cats. Or cakes, they look a little like mooncakes? - Anyway, they're all really cute but one in particular caught my eye, especially since they tried to steal my purse.

[ Actual loot goblin.

But she lifts the mnya-ing object; presenting the network with one cat-cake, staring right at them with a big ol' pair of starry blue eyes. Both the filling and it's little hat(???) are dark in colour, a black coat and a purple drippy pattern along it's hat... shell. Thing. Looking closely, it resembles one person in particular. ]


But this one actually resembles someone I know. [ She grabs one of its little paws - it even has little peets! - and has it wave to the camera, chuckling at the grumbled protests before letting the little creature settle on her lap. Though whatever she was about to say is momentarily forgotten as the creatures yawns and stretches, before bouncing back into shape.

...

She's just going to. Press her hands against its sides and squimsh, trying very hard not to smile when it wobbles and bounces again.

Why is it so cute. ]


Ah... It makes me a little curious if there's more cat... cake things, that look like people here.

WHO: Jinwoo + some of his friends/coworkers
WHERE: Several Places in Kaisou
WHEN: the first two are backdated to november, the third is mid-december
WHAT: A well-needed talk, a sidequest, and a christmas gift gone wrong
WARNINGS: probably some heavy talk about past lives in the one with Lapis+Jusis

//__- a well needed talk (Closed to Lapis + Jinwoo + Jusis )||

[ there's something uniquely uncomfortable about being here--doing this. Long time ago; he'd settled himself with the idea that the Black Order was his home; he had nowhere else because he didn't have anyone else. The contract he'd signed took away his family, his life--and he'd started to just let the idea that this was his life now sink into his bones.

It's amazing how those sorts of feelings can be shaken when you create new bonds with people; after convincing yourself that, much like your past life, you were always destined to Go Solo.
Which is why he'd asked for this meeting. Standing in front of Jusis' desk, part of him wanting to sink back and disappear into the shadows to avoid any sort of difficult talk.

He wasn't built for this. And yet. It was a conversation that needed to be done. ]


...Have you gone yourself, Jusis-nim? To the Library of Alexandria? [ he'll start here, he supposes. ] Reading a book on your own past life. ...I think it was a bad idea, but.

Lapis and I did it anyway. And we've started to ... suspect some things about our contracts with the order.
I suppose this whole thing...

I want to discuss our worries. Given the recent events, and the talks I've had with Zhongli-nim.

I think it's very dangerous for Lapis and I to continue our lives in the Order. In the future.



//__- a misadventure in mint (Closed to Lapis + Jinwoo )||

[ The most plant life he's ever taken care of in his life is his Bonsai tree. It was a quiet delicate thing--and he'd worried it would have died on his way over from florida, but it was flourishing.

But nearly not as much as all this mint was flourishing. Good fucking god. This is the third house they've been to, and the little tiny sprigs that have been very quietly poked into corners of several gardens on this street have already started to spread and grow into bigger, bushier little plants that were absolutely at risk of starting to spread into a full lawn.

Fortunately, the cold weather was making it so they weren't flourishing SO quickly. Thank god for that.

Equipped with a small spade, he's going to start to dig up the third plant since they started--waving lapis over to bring one of the little terracotta pots they'd brought to re-home the things. ]


If these had been planted during the summer...

I think they might be out of control by now.



//__- calculating risks (Closed to Ritsuka + Jinwoo )||
[ it's odd, getting used to life in the city again after spending nearly two months out to sea, and it's especially rough when you've come home to. A goddamn mess of a city that was definitely not this Fucked Up when you left.

He knows part of the issue had been dropping that giant dragon they'd been aiming to go rescue in the middle of the city--but it wasn't the only part of the city that'd been messed the hell up.

Maybe that's part of why he'd asked Ritsuka to meet up--he wanted to ask one of his few friends outside of the order what happened, as well as deliver a gift to her--some chocolate he'd bought in Denmark, and a gift meant to be saved until Christmas.

Both items are carefully packed away in a little bag he carries, and he stands outside one of the few cafes that wasn't goddamned destroyed during the demon's rampage through the city, waiting for his red-headed friend to arrive.

...Little does he know that the gift he brought comes with another, less desirable gift. ]

WHO: The Black Order's Kaisou Team
WHERE: A rented out rec room.
WHEN: End of November
WHAT: Jusis suspects that they're about to get recruitment orders because of all the people who have left the team recently. He calls an all-hands-on-deck meeting to talk about what their strategy will be, as well as how they want to do it.
WARNINGS: Unhinged ShitTM

[Jusis is seated at one of the bigger tables, which is hopefully enough to accommodate everyone left on the team. There are snacks and drinks available since he anticipates that this is going to be a long meeting, and he's not about to have someone get hangry in the middle of the discussion. His arms are crossed in front of his chest as he looks at each of them before nodding.]

Now that everyone's here, I would like to discuss a matter with everyone. I suspect that soon The Order is going to give us recruitment orders. With how our team has abruptly shrunk, and given what happened earlier in the month, they are most likely going to have us looking at getting more people signed up for the team.

[He pauses, eyeing each of them and studying their reactions.]

That being said, my opinion is that I would rather give people the option to volunteer, and possibly to set up a parole system for those who have committed a crime magically. Given the amount of people here with magic and/or are possessed, it would be in our best interests to look into that as an option to give them a chance to prove themselves.

However, I'd like to hear what everyone else thinks, too. We need to discuss options, how to implement this system, and any concerns we may have going into this. Any problems with the process itself will need to be worked out as we go, but we can at least build a solid foundation before proceeding.

WHO: Edward Kenway and you!
WHERE: Kaisou rooftops.
WHEN: post-dragon showdown/post-Copenhagen.
WHAT: Edward gets his gacha goodwill goodies. Edward…is freaking out a little bit.
WARNINGS: some level of body horror in the linked picture.

[It’s a nice winter evening in Kaisou. The sky is a light blue, the snow is gently falling, the yokai aren’t plaguing the city anymore, there’s a half-skeleton thing on the rooftop just chilling out—

—hang on back up what the fuck.

The camera is a little shaky, but it focuses in on the half-man half-skeleton thing. It looks very much like the image of a stereotypical pirate, only there’s little to no flesh left on the skull and on one arm. One eye socket is covered with a red bandana, and dark hair with wisps of grey smoke cascades down the thing’s back. It taps sharp, ice-blue claws on the ledge of the rooftop, unconcerned it’s being filmed.

Then Edward, behind the camera, says:] This may be my fault. I summoned it—him. Conrad, I believe his name is, but I haven’t the faintest idea what he might be.

[A beat.]

Other than the ghost of a dead pirate come to haunt me, but I’ve never even met a Conrad in my life.

How do I un-summon him?

WHERE: Libra App, as well as Persephone's Cottage.
WHEN: Early June
WHAT: Wolfwood comes home with some socks. Apparently, there was a ghost haunting them. Now there's a ghost haunting the cottage.
WARNINGS: Chaos, probably.

01 >Action, - A ghost in the walls (for anyone who might come visit the cottage)

[ He's still getting used to his new arm. it's taking a lot of extra practice, what with how it doesn't move like it's part of his body like the old one was. But it's so good to have a second hand again, even one that he has to manipulate a little with his good hand that he hardly cares.

So here he is. In the kitchen. Minding his own business, cutting up carrots for stew that he, Libra, Wolfwood, and any wayward visitors are going to have for dinner tonight. Cooked in a wrought-iron pot over live flame--when a jar of peanut butter he'd recently bought flies off a shelf, and almost hits him. Directly in the head.
Fortunately, his reflexes are still intact, and it narrowly misses him, by an eyelash--the fortunately-plastic jar tumbling down to the floor...

And he shoots his roommates an almost accusatory look. Wolfwood, who is over at said cupboard, who was SUPPOSED to be getting flour ready for some fresh baked bread. ]


--I know you're mad because of the tail thing but can you not throw groceries at me, Sheesh.

Libra, can you believe this guy. [ he turns his head to look at his other roommate, who had been cutting potatoes, only just in time to see ... three of said potatoes floating in front of the other priest. ]

...Whoa okay, hold up. What's that.


02, Text, - okay so nobody panic but (ota, network post)


text: un: ♡☮STAMPEDE


ok so before anyone says it i KNOW i live with two priests but neither of them have the apparent skill or training to deal with this sort of thing

i think my house is haunted and

nope
hold on wait just a second


[ there's a pause because he has to go stop the ghost from throwing his gun into the river ]

ok so anyway uh ghosts are real or at least i think this means ghosts are real oh my god how do you make it stop

WHAT: Yuri is gone but his legacy lives on. That's right: Smash or Simp: Return of the Simp!
WARNINGS: Thirst? Thirst traps? Disasters?

This isn't something I would usually do but I admit I've almost missed it. And since Yuri is no longer on the app, it falls to me to continue his tradition.

Smash or Simp. If you can see this post, you're welcome to post whatever photos of yourself you feel comfortable posting and let the rest of the adults on the app shower you in praise. You may even end up with a partner, because that keeps happening, but I make no promises.

Some rules:

1. Be respectful

2. The Black Order and POKEGO are both welcome to post, and should anyone start anything I will end it

3. I am not responsible for anything Nox Miller posts. He knows what he did

4. Nor am I responsible for anything the Zeppelli siblings post. They also know what they did

Go forth! Simp!


[Did he do that right?]

Custom Text

The city of Kaisou has always been a hole-in-the-wall kind of town. While prosperous and peaceful, it's usually overlooked by the rest of the country and left to its own devices. Perhaps you were born and raised here, perhaps opportunity brought you here, or perhaps you don't know why you're here at all. Whatever the case may be, all your roads led to Kaisou. It's not bad place to be, all in all, so long as you ignore certain holes in the world.
