[Liara appears in the orb, looking a little distressed and out of sorts. Behind her are trees, pine mostly, and no sign of civilization which can be seen. She purses her lips for a moment, and then frowns.]

Bakura, there is a bag of sweets in my room. I would strongly urge you not to try one. Also, I'm not sure where I actually...am...right now. So I don't know when I will be back.

[She lets out a heavy breath.]

I'm fairly confidant I am in the mountains somewhere. Does anyone know if they are supposed to be as dangerous at the forest? I have no idea.

Do we actually have a king, or is he just a figurehead? I haven't met him--he's not doing a very effective job of ruling, is he.

[The video feed starts with a lovely view of... something. Blurs? Accompanied by an exclamation, "ah!", and a loud noise upon contact with what can only be assumed as the floor. You are picked up and rubbed and a few seconds later, have an actual view of somebody's face. It's a young girl, grimacing. She takes a few steps back, turns, and bows deeply before you.]

I'm Hanaori Kotoha. Um...

I'm not sure...

[Maybe it would've been a good idea to think about what she was going to say before she actually started this thing up. She laughs nervously.]

I asked questions, but... Sorry for not preparing!

[Probably not the right ones. She had asked the man about the Gedoushuu, about her friends, about where she was, but she hadn't asked any of the practical questions like where she was going to stay or how to get there.

She bows her head quickly in another apologetic gesture. Maybe she could still go back and find that man? Ask him where she would go now and how to get there? Perhaps she would receive replies from people via this orb contraption. She tried to think of it as a phone.]

I'm a knight, so I look forward to working with you all.

I'll try my best!

[She clasps her hands together and to her chest and nods in determination.]

[The video feed opens to show what appears to be a back corner of a tavern that is likely not the most reputable establishment in this or any other world. Judging by the sound of the surrounding noise, there's a fight going on elsewhere in the tavern. Ryo's sitting at a table in that back corner, and he doesn't really seem to care about the noise.]

So, that sword stuck in the stone...did anyone actually--

[Whatever Ryo was about to ask is cut off by a drunken brawl raucously crashing across his table. He should probably think about going somewhere nicer in the future. Before he can do anything other than look a bit ticked off, one of the men who slammed into the table drunkenly rolls to his feet.]

Hey! Hey! It's one 'o them heroes what's supposed t' be stoppin' them thorns!

[The guy's clearly had too many drinks to be thinking straight. He's now giving Ryo an aggressive prod to the chest.]

But he's just sittin' here on his bum like the rest 'o us! Huh? You got somethin' t' say t' that, hero boy?

[Good job, random townsperson. Of all the heroes you could have chosen to tick off, you've irritated the guy this place has pegged as a berserker. Ryo wastes no time in letting the drunk guy have it with a punch to the face, and now the drunk guy's equally drunk friends are a little upset. Looks like this could turn nasty, and Ryo has forgotten that he's got an audience on the Orb.]

I would like very much to speak with anyone the locals have called 'prince' or 'princess.' I have a proposition for you.

Bakura, do you know anything about what has been happening to the refugees? The people being forced out of villages and homes by the thorns? Where are they going, what are they doing?

Does anyone run any kind of a business, by chance? I seem to recall a bakery, and a smithy, though the latter isn't running, the last I heard.

I know I'm going to regret asking, but is there anyone in the city familiar with complex spells? Magics. Whichever. Specifically, would it be possible to link two locations, separated by a large distance? And is anyone capable of this?

And what does anyone know about a disembodied, female voice?

[A moment of silence, then a heavy sigh.]

Also, if there is someone who is familiar with the use of a sword, I'd like to speak with you about the basics. I would rather not make a fool out of myself.

Oh, and Shin, perhaps we could speak later.

[For a long while, the orb is silent, showing an image of Peeta with his hands folded in his lap, staring at the open window. The position of his body, the minute clenching of his fists in his apron betray the pain that fills him, threatens to take him over, even as he holds it underneath the surface.

But he knows, too, that his eyes will betray him. He doesn't look at the orb when he speaks.]

Hey guys! Did you know that there's a basement to Hero House?!

[[The background is pretty dark, the glow of something just to the side making it so Bakura can be seen, but not much else]]

I found the door to it in the kitchen, it was shut up pretty tight and since it's a trap down to get down here, it was pretty easy to miss! Looks like there's a pantry down here, though I'm sure everything's old and rotted by now. Sure smells that way! [[Yet he's so very very cheerful]] Looks like it runs the length of the house too! I'm going to go--

[[He pauses, turning to look behind him and moment in silence before turning back to the orb]] Thought I heard something.. though I guess if anyone's upstairs it would--

[[There's a suddenly strange sound like a wind that can be heard quite loudly through the orb as Bakura gives a small exclamation, the image going crazy as if the orb was knocked into, showing the ceiling above, then the dim stone walls, then nothing at all as everything goes black.]]

[ It...took Rapunzel some time to figure out how to work the orb; her hands were trembling so much that she'd dropped it several times before she'd even managed to get a good look at it.

When her message comes through, her voice is shaky and her eyes are narrowed in frustration and a bit of fear. What a way to start her birthday… ]


I--I need to know where I really am, what's going on. Please. It's...it's really important that I go home right away. [ A deep breath. ]

F-Flynn? Are you here?

Oh my gosh, Mother really is going to kill me...

[ Initially, there is nothing. You’re just going about your normal day, orb nice and silent, until-- ]

Good heavens!

[ There is a bright blue eyeball peering into it from the other end, expression, what can be seen of it, delighted. ]

How perfectly marvelous – how on earth does it truly work? Hello? Can you hear me in there?

[ She taps it and pulls back, her entire face coming into view. ]

Terribly curious indeed – how whimsically magical…

[ She straightens, and folds her arms, armor clanking. ]

For anyone that may or may not be inside of this magical device, I bid thee a fond greeting – I am Alice Kingsleigh, the White Queen’s Champion, at your service.

Now…please tell me there are no jabberwocks to be slain? The last one was quite rude.

[Well, well well! Look whose ugly mug has finally shown back up in the orb. James lays flat on his stomach in the tall grass of the field between the town and the woods. There are twigs and leaves in his hair and he's got...quite a bit of stubble goin' on there. Might even call it the start of a beard. His robes are torn and the circles under his eyes might suggest his father was a raccoon.]

[It's been...a while.]


Whut....what day is it.

[He's quiet for a time and just stares at the orb in his hand. He wasn't so sure he'd ever see civilization again.]

I'll...give a silver coin to th' first motherfucker that brings me a sandwich.

WHO: Cho and you
WHAT: visiting the coma patient?
WHERE: "Cho's rooms" in the palace (even though she hasn't actually spent a single night there until now).
WHEN: From the end of Loki's ice plot on GHB1 through GHB6 (and possibly extended a bit longer, idk)

NOTES: Let me know what day they're visiting either in your tag or the subject line.
WARNINGS: I honestly can't imagine any cropping up.

Cho hadn't come down from Loki's ice tower under her own power. By the time they'd actually overcome all obstacles, she'd been badly injured and running on magic and willpower alone. The confirmation that there was no danger had been her undoing. Another of Loki's stupid pranks. And she's succumbed to the pain and fatigue, her magic catching her right at the brink of death and slowing her body's natural reaction in order to mend it. She'd been carried back to town, still and barely breathing, skin and lips blue and ice cold, and Loki had immediately foisted her off on the first peasant who looked sturdy enough to carry a hundred pounds of sorceress and miscellaneous gear without dropping her on her comatose head.

The man had taken her straight to the palace, and her assigned staff had been only too happy to take responsibility for her. They'd dressed her in the most ridiculously frilly dress the palace seamstresses had made for her, brushed her hair out into a shining black cloud around her, arranging it and her clothing to cover the horrible dark bruises that marred her skin and spoke of the extent of internal bleeding. As long as the nasty bits of life were hidden, the villagers seemed more than happy to pretend they didn't exist.

Now she was laid her out carefully in bed as though she were only sleeping. With the windows thrown open, butterflies had begun to gather in her hair and small birds had taken up residence in the canopy of the bed. Tiny woodland creatures found their way into the room, bringing with them wildflowers gnawed off at the stem.

She looked every inch the beautiful fairytale princess. Probably because she couldn't move or talk.

[Liara appears in the orb, looking somewhat distant. Her face doesn't convey a lot of feeling as she speaks, nor does her voice.]

The people here are rather welcoming to, well, heroes, as well. Somewhat less enthusiastically, perhaps, than in Schwanheim. Most of the boats here are owned by fishermen, or so everyone assures me, but I can't say that it is surprising.

[She shrugs.]

It may take time to learn anything about any lands this Kingdom trades with, or has traded with in the past, but if I find anything important, I'll let you know.

Loki, I'll ask about the date around here, perhaps the locals will prove less reluctant to recall their past. Giles, I'm going to try and sketch a basic map of the town, and I'll record anything I think might be helpful for visitors. When I return to the capital, I'll drop off a copy.

Bakura, I forgot to ask you before I left, but there is a small list of items on the desk in my room. Some might not be available, but if we could get most of them, at least, I might be able to learn a little bit about the thorns.

That's all I can think of, for now. I intend to remain here for several days, at least, but I will try to keep this near to hand, in case anyone has need of me.

NOTES I'll be setting up subthreads for the ice maze, the guardians outside the tower, and the stairs inside the tower. The group will start out all together in the ice maze and then be separated into two, I believe. The groups are (correct me if I'm wrong) Cho, Sif and Faolan, and Giles, Helios, Kay and Bakura. It's not too late to participate! If you would like to, hit up the plurk linked in the below paragraph.

The general sequence of events can pretty much be assumed to be: they get through the ice maze, they get through the guardians, they get up the stairs. If anyone would in particular like your group to be the winner, that's cool with me, go ahead and jump in here, otherwise it'll just be whoever manages to RP to that part first.

Characters: Kay Curtis and you!
Open? Yes!
Where: In town, or in the castle/grounds while he's on his way to the town if that's what you prefer.
When: 20th of Rebirth's Decline
What: Kay is taking his relocation about as well as can be expected. He's taking the costume they brought him here in much worse. He's ditching the leather-and-fur armor and going into town in the vain hope that he can find something to wear that affords him a little more dignity.
Warnings: Nothing besides some casual teenage swearing yet, though violence is always a danger with Kay.

that's a lie, Kay could never be as cool as Tommy Dawkins )

Cut for descriptions of Giles having a vision )

The Sage stares blankly up at the orb, wondering what he'd even been intending to say before all of that had seized him. Details of the vision are still floating hazily through his head, like a particularly persistent, yet nonscensical dream. It takes him several seconds to realize that anyone might even be looking back at him but, when it does, he visibly tries to regain his composure, struggling back to his feet and pick himself up from the street.]

Well, then. That was, um...a bit alarming.

[Still obviously a bit dizzied, Giles realizes that his glasses are askew, and takes a few seconds to fuss with them and gather his thoughts about him.

What had he even been planning to say, before that happened?

Oh. Yes.]

About the, um...the recent rash of thefts...I, I just wanted to say that, um, that that should be over with. If you've lost anything of particular value, um, it should be returned to you in a day or so. But if you'd like to tell us, what you lost, we'll...well, um, we'll get it back to you, as soon as w can.

Th-Thank you.

And, um, on that note...I, I'm going to be at the library, today. [Anxiously, Giles glances up towards the castle.] Most of today. It seems I suddenly find myself in need of a map...
