How much meaning do you place on your date of birth?

[The question is posed thoughtfully, Neuvillette himself looking like he's considering what his own answer might be as well.]

Today is my birthday, but it is not the day of my birth. I have no recollection of that precise date, but this day is the day that the people of Fontaine decided my birthday would be celebrated on.

[A pause.]

It seemed important to them that they have a date upon which to mark it. I found no need to object, though I never fully understood the insistence.

[(It's because they liked you, Neuvillette.)]

{Xiao Lanhua has a tree! A...well. Not a proper Christmas tree. It's a plum tree.

And she has decorated it with lights.}

I like this season! Look, I decorated a tree too~

{Her cat is pawing at one of the lower branches, still looking oh so grumpy. Don't worry, he was born with that face.}

Who else has tried to decorate? It definitely makes my apartment feel warmer.

{But not fuller, sadly.}

[Wind whips around Xiao Xingchen, lifting up the sleeves of his robes and fluttering them like a pair of wings. He is balanced, haphazardly, on the branch of a tree -

And then he leaps. The wind catches him and he records his slowed fall. He barely makes a sound as he lands on the snow below. A wild rabbit stares at him in surprise and Xingchen bows.]

Forgive me, little friend.

[Finally he addresses any watching:]

Those who have practiced their elements in earnest, I am interested in seeing what we might do together. I can fly, travel quickly and send messages with my voice without this device.

UN: Intergalactic Baseballer 🌠video

[ The backdrop today seems to be - to those who are familiar - Stelle's bar at Another Star's Trash, the blue starry themed background showing as the Trailblazer does a few tricks with her cups, pouring a few things perfectly before flashing a smile at the camera. ]

Good morning, good afternoon and good evening Ellipsa!

It's your local Nameless, the Intergalactic Baseballer, Stelle here, owner of your local pawn shop slash night bar revealing that we are officially one year old! That's right, December's our anniversary, and we'd like to celebrate with all of you with a few expansions and quick offers, so listen up close, okay?

First off: we're expanding the bar section to also be a restaurant! While we've always served small snacks here at Another Star, we will now also be offering any full course meals for lunch and dinner periods.

And because of this, our second announcement is that delivery services are now also available! There will be a small delivery fee to keep us up and running properly, but it's now an option. Allow us at Another Star to help cater your parties, super late night meals where you just don't want to get up and SO MUCH MORE!

Our third announcement, [ Stelle says as she goes ahead and moves the camera, shifting it to one of the walls of the bar as she states exactly what can be seen in its massive glory: ] is that we've added a labuwu wall to the premises for everyone to see! Every single labuwu that I have obtained that isn't for personal use will be added to the wall for display, so feel free to stop by and take photos with it.

And for the big one. . . I present to you our new official anniversary offering: the Another Star punchcard system! I have an example right here--

[ And Stelle takes out a card and flashes it, clear for the camera to see: ]

ANOTHER STAR'S TRASH

Get a free prize on your sixth visit!

❤

For each trip or online order, you get a cute little stamp! Collect five stamps and on your sixth trip, you'll be able to win a random surprize gift as thanks for being a loyal customer.

Also, if you'd like to affiliate with us, or you have any questions, comments, or concerns, feel free to hit me up, we'd love to hear from you.

[This is Arthur. Arthur in the Fairy Kingdom. This was all kinds of wrong if you asked him.]

If someone happened to get stuck in this... Fairy Kingdom. How do they get unstuck?

[Asking for a friend, really!]

Someone accidentally ate food meant for fairies and now they can't get out.

[Someone who happens to have the same name and appearance as one Arthur Pendragon.]

Since I talked about it a bit on the two truths and one lie game, I've decided to open up a candy store. In fact, it's opening right now.

[Behind him is a store full of different kinds of sweets.]

Everything here is handmade. There's regular sweets, but also some with effects or with rather interesting flavors. I also do requests.

[He gives a small tour of the shop, stopping by something labeled as pick'n'mix.]

Here you can even make your own bag of sweets. They candy stay fresh in the containers due to magic enhancements and I make sure to keep it stocked.

[He winks to the camera.]

So come over to Blossomcrown. Fireside Sweets is open for business.

[Should he mention/warn about the possibly exploding candies? ... naaaah. The warning is on the packages, so if they don't read it, it's their problem-]

{ When Wolfram appears on the screen, this man in a quite fancy blue uniform may look a little... tired. To be truthful, Wolfram was struggling to stay awake to finish recording the video Wolfram had practiced reciting already - but Wolfram had to post this before Wolfram
~~immediately changed into nightwear and passed out~~ rested for the rest of the night,
in the way-too-small than Wolfram von Bielefelt, son of the 26th Maou, was used to ""apartment"", but...
at least it was well-furnished and well-stocked with decent food. }

[ ... Actually... It feels right. For once, Wolfram being in a strange and unusual place like this... ... Feels right...
... It might just be because Wolfram's finally accessing the Network by early December --
-- December was when Wolfram first showed up to that other world and met...
... a different form of the person Wolfram had been engaged to for a number of years by then, from a different point in time...
Except Wolfram hadn't known it at the time... ... It had been over ten years since then...
... This time, Wolfram knows a little more. Just enough to get around.
Yuuri even had helped teach Wolfram all about the technology of the other world back then, and its communicator --
-- slowly, Wolfram had begun to learn it better on Wolfram's own. "Moving pictures" still bemused Wolfram in many ways, but...
... Somehow, Wolfram had been able to work this world's communicator and navigate it -- this time without "needing" Yuuri's help. ]

I've been told I'll be able "to keep" my abilities in this location. However, they appear to be somewhat limited.
If there are others here with Fire-based powers, I would be interested in sparring with you as a means of training our abilities.
That said -- this would be along the lines of professional combat training.
... I suppose it might be fine if someone could cause fires for such training even by other means -- or even if not having those abilities, as well.. I would still be able to use those.

{ Wolfram had checked the listing for the names familiar from home -- but had come up completely empty-handed.
Still, it wouldn't hurt to ask and if people were so inclined, maybe they could inform Wolfram if they saw, later on... }

... I suppose no one here may know of a [ EMPHASIZED ] "Yuuri Shibuya" or,
[ Softer, almost saddened Tone ] "Greta"...
... I don't think Greta would introduce herself with his family name alone, but in case she had...

[ and Wolfram holds up, one by one, the painting showing various figures -- However the next paintings Wolfram shows... ]

Click to Expand!

{ And if he ~~because you're not seeing him in the corner!!1!~~ was ever to show up later -- at least it wasn't the uncensored version...?! }

Please alert me if you've seen them anywhere. Greta is still technically not of age yet...
There's also -- Conrad Weller. Gwendal von Voltaire. Gunter von Kleist. ... Ken Murata. Jozak Guriere.

If any of these people arrive here -- please direct them to me. They'll know what to do next.

( ... At least this time Wolfram isn't immediately throwing the communicator away. )

WHO: Zero Kiryuu & YOU
WHAT: Just a bit of music
WHEN: Dusk or so, 12/6
WHERE: The rooftop of the starter apartments
WARNINGS: n/a

Easy and melodic, while melancholic in a way, it's a sound that carries in the air. Zero has been practicing his violin multiple times per day since he arrived about a month ago, ever since Rumi took him to get one from the music shop. He's no prodigy by any means, but it'd be hard to tell that, up until his presence, here, the last time he really played was over seven centuries ago. Absurd or not, it hadn't taken much for him to re-learn how to read music and play.

For most of the time since, however, he's mostly stuck to keeping to himself while playing, only somewhat recently having gone out in public. Albeit, still on the private side, considering how no one tends to be up on rooftops (or none, so far as he's encountered).

Nevertheless, tonight he's doing more improvising than anything, eyes closed as he plays.

[OOC: feel free to do brackets; I'll match! ]

MUSIC CLUB POST: New Year's Edition

WHO: Any Music Club members, anyone who wants to join or check in
WHAT: Music Club log! Prep for the New Year's show!
WHEN: Assorted nights in December
WHERE: Shining Karaoke in Blossomcrown
WARNINGS: Nothing yet

[This is a Music Club mingle for the upcoming New Year's live! Tag each other, have characters work on their WIPs and talk shop, make plans! This covers multiple meetings throughout the month, so characters can attend one or many and have threads take place at any time.

Special note for plotting: The New Year's live will lead into an optional player plot this year. The bulk of it will be the "musical episode" trope where characters are compelled to sing; the subplots running beside it will focus on a few characters and involve one character becoming possessed, another falling into a coma and wandering the collective unconscious, and both being cured at the end of the event by a journey into the mind. Any Music Club member player who wishes to have their characters perform at the concert but be exempt from the plot can simply have them leave the arena before the final performance at midnight and miss the broadcast.]

I have waited five days. I have checked the flower garden. I have looked all over Ellipa and he is no longer within the network contacts.

Sonic the Hedgehog, one of them, is no longer in Ellipsa.

He was known as Big Blue to some.

That is all.
