So.

[ it is a public message, to the network, that pops up on the circle's watches and roy looks Less Than Pleased (tm) with the sudden state of affairs. the weather in the temple is absolutely out of control, there are apparently weird cakes appearing in the kitchens, and the fighting ring has turned into a magical court. great.

so, that may be the reason why roy's tone is particularly clipped, or even frustrated. but he seems methodical, in his words, and he is sitting at a table with a notebook, a glass of water, and a weird looking lizard on the table that has an odd rainbow-shift to the scales.

( ignore the lizard. it seems roy is. ) ]

The Circle is currently compromised of people of a variety of talents; soldiers, magicians, teenagers . . . all of us have particular skills to contribute to the cause of whatever it is we're meant to do here. I know quite a few people [ like maes, and barabas ] have been keeping track of various magical powers that we have been gifted, and organized some semblance of structure -- all of which is necessary. But we have to acknowledge what happened to Akvos.

[ he pauses, there. ]

Astoria has not been entirely clear with the Circle on what our purpose is. That may be an innocent error, or a purposeful move to win our trust. I'm not here to argue the merits of whether or not we should trust her, but we have no choice but to participate in whatever world she sends us to. Whether we like it or not, we are stuck there until she brings us back, and we have some opportunity to assist whoever is there. We cannot depend on her to figure out what to do in order to prevent another Akvos, or -- it seems, another El Minha, given King Kathashun is no longer in his own world.

[ roy taps the pen against the table once. ]

I don't have any solution as to what we did right, or wrong, or whether or not it was our fault in the first place. But I want to begin the conversation to work to prevent it again, and seeing as Astoria is either not willing or not capable of explaining herself at the moment, we need to learn to work without her. What are we missing? What do we need to work on? And what can we do in order to be more organized before our next world?

[ and, finally, roy feeds the lizard one (1) piece of lettuce, which it lazily seems to chew on. ]

I'm of a mind we need to organize fighters, healers, and transporters, but I'm open to ideas and suggestions -- and questions, about previous worlds to those who were not there to experience them. I have been to El Minha, Struxta, and Akvos. And I'm certain "older" members of the Circle will be happy to share their experiences, too.

Hello. For   of you who don’t know me, my name is Conno

[His name is ‘Conno’. Thanks a lot, network.]

I’m going to keep this     since the netwo    only appears to be working intermittently.

This is a   for those of us looking into the issue of the     princess. According to the Queen, her last known       were the Fields of Akvosia. I     that a portion of our group has been     there upon our arrival, and I encour    all of us to share what we might have uncovered about the princess in the interim. For the sake of pushing this investi    forward, discussing what we've     will be the     way of securing a potential, solid lead.

  of note: the princess had been acting strangely before her disappearance. Despondent and       , constantly referencing the “dark  ” encroaching on Akvos. And weeks prior to this, two “menfolk” had visited the palace, claiming ties to the Cir    and asking after this same darkness.

I believe one     Katha    , whom the Queen claims to have cultivated a friendship with her daughter. The other   remains unspecified and unnamed, and both had van    days before the princess had gone missing.

Again, if those of you avail    in or around the Fields can focus your search

[Shut up, Connor, says the network probably. Because it’s cutting him off rather unceremoniously here.]

[ so like.

the text keeps appearing and reappearing. like someone's deleting their post? repeatedly. eventually one sticks, though: ]

NO ONE PANIC
The rat infestation is mine


[ that's it. that's the post. ]

hey! i've been wondering something recently!

i spoke to a guy who's met aliens and fought them, and i realize that i havent had a chance to ask everybody! where do you all come from? what's your world like?

its probably kinda boring to ask at this point but i don't really know a lot of you and i bet you've all got really cool stories to tell!

also if anyones not busy, i wanna mess around with my magic some more

[ She's learning, but she doesn't know exactly how much magic she can do yet! ]

Hello? Can everyone hear me? Connor, are you sure everyone can hear me? Positive? ... Alright.

[Konoha clears her throat rather loudly, holding her watch-thing very close to her mouth by the sound of things.]

Hello! This is Konoha... some of you know me, and some of you maybe don't yet, but um, I'm the... well in my world we say jinba but I'm the centaur. The... brown one? The girl one? Mikuni is the man, even if he looks beautiful!

And anyway, what I wanted to tell everyone was that... I can make food. I say "make" but I'm not really sure, it just... appears, so, I can... "summon" food? "Create" food. It's definitely not me, my world doesn't have stuff like this, but I guess the witch gave it to me and it is useful, so-

[A cough interrupts her, but she keeps going after a moment.]

I just thought everyone should know in case we end up somewhere like the metal world again. Or if you just want to eat something in particular we don't have here? I can't make things I don't know about... and it doesn't come cooked or anything, just for your information! Some people are... pretty sick and I want to help, so-

And also, apparently people have been posting really important things on this for a while now and I didn't see them, but I'll try to check better from now on, promise! Akira and Connor taught me some things, so. You can use this to contact me now!

So... thanks? Good... bye? Connor, which one is bet- oops.

If I may, I request your attention for a short while.

[This mystery illness has taken a toll on Minfilia, and she's far from a pretty sight, with her nose and eyes red and the rest of her far too pale. She's not slept well, and any useful time awake she spends in weary attempts to find anything that might help all of them...if not feel better, then at least not get any worse. Really, she's rather stunned she managed to get the watch to do what she wanted, which is a feat even when she isn't a dizzy and congested mess.]

None of us are wont to suffer the symptoms of whatever is plaguing us for one moment longer than necessary. [She hopes.] In the last few days I have witnessed several sets of hands and minds at work in pursuit of a solution.

[A pause for a sound sneeze and a bit of coughing, which she tries her best to keep well away from the recording. The remainder of the message sounds as if someone is holding her nose, but there's nothing to be done about it now.]

Until now, these disparate but dedicated souls have, to my knowledge, proceeded tirelessly - and apart. We should all be better served by combining what we know has helped, and what has already proven itself of little use. To that end, I propose that all those striving for both treatment and cure convene as soon as possible, today if we can. The earlier talk of organizing aid and proper supplies will be invaluable as well. The kitchens ought to be sizable enough to hold a crowd.

I know also that a fair few of you wish to venture forth, or have done so, on temple grounds or out in the wilds, to further the chance at finding aught of use. Those who are well enough to travel could thereby divide into larger and more organized groups for continued investigation.

[This is wearing her out, and it's only talking and putting the words together in proper order.]

I look forward to working together in person.

[[ooc: So! A meeting in the kitchen after lunch - feel free to mingle as well as video chat! Primarily she's thinking they really ought to work together to go deeper into the temple or the forest, or both, because this is only getting worse for most people.]]

[ Yugi has spend a few days trying to figure this whole scenario out. While he's used to random acts of magical abduction (or body-snatching, if you will), this was something entirely different. He decided to make some outreach to those who have been here longer, or maybe someone who could better answer this questions: ]

i realize this may be slightly familiar. new people always have the most questions, right? i am a little concerned about the..magical part of this? that may be a little too broad...

[ Yugi didn't post anything after that for a bit, before finally editing what he had originally put.. ]

i'm sorry. i wanted to ask how do we understand these...powers? but also, what is the point of bringing us here. i would like to see if anyone is...well, if they are have spoken to astoria?

[ Yugi has some concerns as he just had to deal with a magical group of kids who could mess with time and space...]
