Greetings, one and all!

I have a very important message to share with you all.

You are beautiful, handsome, and I would date you.

[The transmission is technically a video - though throughout it all the screen remains unevenly black and rough-textured, as if a piece of fabric had been tossed across the lens of the camera. The voice that speaks is recognizably Daisy Tonner's, though there's a faint burr and growl to it, as if it had been run through a sound modifying program. Or something.]

All right. Suppose anyone with an opinion can chime in, but this is mostly for the Sanguis lot. Or anyone else who gets . . . like that. Bloodthirsty.

[It's such a crawlingly, hideously personal thing to ask. But if there was ever a place she might find people who could come close to understanding her own situation, this might be it. And she has to try.]

How do you get through it?

[Live video starts with an empty shot of Engineer's low-lit workshop. Then, suddenly...!!!!!!!!!!]

Boo.

( cw: cartoony zombie image, cut just in case )

[Oh shit, Engineer jumps in front of the screen and shoots his arms out in front of the camera! He's also a zombie! What's left of his skin is sickly green, there's blood running down his mouth, and his chest is all bones! Watch out!!!!

... Or don't, because then he suddenly laughs. His hands retract, and he steps back as casual as ever.]

Don't worry, it's all holograms. Them chroma-powered mirrors are somethin', ain't they? You ain't the only one now, Spy.

[That's a inside ~~burn~~ joke, don't worry about it. He pats his "skinless" (not really) chest.]

Felt like gettin' into the Halloween spirit. Or... Geistnacht spirit, I reckon.

Speakin' of - me and my pal Spy are throwing somethin' of a Halloween get-together down at my workshop on Level 3 next week. Low-key sorta thing. We'll have candy, costumes, pumpkins, music, dancin', probably games... and definitely alcohol. Spy makes his own wine, so y'might get a try if he's in the mood.

[Engie laughs.]

Anyhow. If y'all are interested, gimme a holler.

[Attached is the address to Engineer's workshop on Level 3, as well as a date and time for the party ~~we'll post a log soon whatever it's fine~~.]

By the way, uh. If y'all happen to run into a wizard that mentions owin' money or the mafia, yakuza, or Russian mob... kindly don't invite him. Or give him money. Or tell him about us.

Hell, maybe be suspicious of most wizards 'til after the 31st.

Hello.

This is The Knight.

I wish to talk about families.

What is your family like? Do you have siblings? I have many siblings. More siblings than there are moonblessed. One of them is here with me. They are also a knight. They were one long before I was, and they are very good at it.

I have a child. They were not born by mating, as humans do, but by a dance with myself and my friend Grimm. It was part of an important ritual.

My Father is a King. My Mother is a Tree. Also a Queen.

That is all of my family. Please tell me about yours.

Lots of people seem a touch down lately. So, everyone! I have a simple game that might cheer us all up, or at least make Iris cycle go by faster for me while I read everyone's replies!

You have to post your type! Physical preferences, personality traits you really like, your dream partner! Go on and list it, and people can say if they know someone like that, perhaps tease you for your preferences, that sort of thing. You can post anonymously here too, if you're shy! Just have fun!

Also, here is a funny picture I found. Enjoy!

my friend josuke said i should try playing the violin again. i used to play a while ago! i was pretty good at it too back then but it turns out i'm not anymore. i thought about making a recording of myself playing so i could send it to people but it's no good. i don't even remember how to play a single note, ha ha.

but that's okay. i'm trying a lot of other things that aren't violin now. did you know that ballet is really hard? i guess that sounds kind of stupid but it turns out they say you're not even supposed to go en pointe until you've had two whole years of practice. i don't know why i thought it would go faster than that but it looks like i've got a really long way to go. i've missed out on so much.

it's pretty neat to walk around the city in the middle of all this geistnacht stuff too. i think there's been a party or a festival pretty much every night, hasn't there? i'm not sure if i believe all that stuff about the boundary between the living world and the afterlife getting thin but the costumes are pretty fun and the candy is too. some of the other "treats" people are giving out seem pretty indecent though but maybe that's just me.

i don't have a costume yet! i should get one. are lots of people dressing up this month? what are you dressing up as?

spah

Hey y'all.

[There's the sound of shifting and guitar strings lightly strumming on the feed.]

It's a quiet sorta evenin' for me down here on Level 3, and I felt like sharin' a tune I learnt not too long ago. If y'ain't interested, free to change the channel... so to speak. There's a story in this one, 'bout a boy and a girl and a motorcycle. Here goes.

[Engineer takes a short pause - then starts with a crisp, single strum. He then starts into Richard Thompson's 1952 Vincent Black Lightning.]

got a question.

what's interest in, say, custom ai personality builds?
i'm talking datable, though only over text for now.
won't net you any chroma, but if you need practice talking to people or just want to chat up a certain personality type.
can't say i'd be able to provide right away, because all my previous work is back home.
starting from scratch is going to take a while.
i need a baseline to tweak with specifics.
couple months maybe.
they'd adapt to your responses, of course.
just like with an organic person.
with enough time and resources, i could work on up to robotics again.
start marketing body types.
date your digital beau in person.
no skin off my nose if you get attached, neither.
ain't my business once they're out of my hands.
unless you coach them to be real murder-y or some shit.
or if you fuck up enough they reject you and you ain't takin' no for an answer, paid personality or not.
then i might take some exception to that.

point is i'm trying to gauge if this is going to be a fun side project or if i need to take it more seriously.

i have a question. there's no right or wrong answer, i'm just wondering what people think.

suppose somebody came here, and outwardly they seemed like an average person. kept to themselves, didn't make trouble, maybe were a little bit weird but not, like, offensively so. you've never seen them do anything wrong. they seem pretty harmless. they're just a normal, fine, generally boring person.

then imagine somebody else said that they knew that person, and that all the niceness was just an act, and really that person was dangerous. really dangerous. and that the person hurt people in really bad ways. but imagine there was no proof of it, really, just that upset person's word against the boring person's.

how would you decide who to believe? would you only go by what you saw yourself, or only by what happened here and not where they came from, or what? would you believe anyone at all?

like i said, there's no right or wrong answer, i guess. i just wonder how you would make a decision either way, in a situation like that.

Hello friends.

Hello family.
Hollow Knight
Sibling

Hello everyone else.

I am the Knight.

We are the Void.

[Yep. Yep, that's all they've got. Their sibling taught them how to type and now they are reveling in their ability to communicate. Though clearly not their ability to communicate very well.]

[There's a necklace dangling in front of the screen, with the simple dagger shaped ornament shown hanging from the chain. Some people may recognise it as the Moonstone Necklace from a certain shop. Kashuu move it away from the screen, holding it up next to his face with a wink. From the cat ears on top of his head, it's pretty obvious that he's a Cordis.]

See this? Do you think it looks good on me? Although, I rather have it in gold.

[... Right. But that's not why he's here, even if he enjoys getting attention and validation.]

Anywaaay, I got this from that merchant guy. Lumi, I think? [Yeah, he knows the guy's name.] Said to like... increase our elemental powers during our moon cycles.

[As if to show, he raise a finger with his other, free hand. With a wave, some frost starts to form around that digit. Until there's a visible, thin layer of frost covering it... Which he soon breaks a moment later by just bending his finger.]

That thing. So what I want to know is this! Who else have this? Because I haven't prick myself with this yet, and I want to know how much more powerful these powers can get after you do.

That's all I want to ask! Please tell me if you know the answer to this.

[ Hi, Lunatia. Have a somewhat bored looking woman here, sort of gong bonkers sitting in this new apartment or exploring at random. She isn't good with this whole preventing herself from going stir crazy thing, but has for once opted to reach out and take other people's recommendations instead of meddling her way through. ]

So far as settling in here, I need a few things. I was hoping someone might be able to offer me a good suggestion or two to look in to on a few items so that this isn't.. quite so jarring.

[ Spoilers : it'll be jarring no matter what going from a glassed-in, engineered Utopia to a nuclear wasteland to a place that's not too far off Romdeau barring, you know. Lack of social and genetic engineering. So hey, up and up.

Long, pale fingers are counted on as she goes through her items: ]

One, I need a place to shop for clothing. I can't keep wearing these things every day.

Two, I'm going to need a place to train or, maybe, a trainer. Getting back in to a fitness routine now that I'm not on the Rabbit every day will be an improvement, I think.

Three... [ She pauses, seems to waver on this one, and finally comes out with it as if it's begrudging : ] ...I guess I'm going to have to learn to cook at least somewhat. Without Iggy or Vincent I'm at a loss, here. So, if anyone can give me instructions past a 'pinch' of salt in water for noodles, I'd appreciate it.

If anyone has anything to offer on any of these I'd appreciate it.

[ A curt little nod, and the video ends. ]

Hey, everybody! Wow, this forum thing is really neat. I wish we'd had something like this back home, it would've made keeping in touch with people a lot easier. It's pretty fun to look through and see all the questions people are asking, and read what everyone has to say! It seems like that's what this is for, right? Asking questions?

Actually, I was hoping I could ask a couple, too. One of them is, for people who have jobs, are your jobs enough to keep you sustained just from the Demichroma you earn, or do you have to accumulate Chroma yourself on the side, too? I don't just mean for splurging at the mall or something — I mean more of, with the moon cycles and all. It feels pretty weird to have to just ask people outright if they'll hold your hand to get some extra Chroma, but I guess around here people don't think that's as bold a thing to do as they would back home.

Anyway, I was a little worried about it, so I thought getting a job would be a good thing to do, but boy! The customers sure are something when there's a moon in the sky!

The other question I had was, I sort of want to go back to school, so I've been thinking of enrolling at the Academy. I'm just wondering if it's hard to balance classes and a job? It's sort of strange to get used to having to sleep again! But I really want to see if there are some opportunities to play music, or maybe do some acting, or dance. I used to know some girls who did ballet and I was always really jealous of how easy they made it look! I wonder if it's too late to learn...

Well, anyway! Those are my questions, and I won't be on break for much longer, so I'll check back when I have the chance. Thanks, everybody!

Hello, fellow Moonblessed! This is the Principality Aziraphale and I have a few subjects I'd like to discuss with you, if you have the time to spare.

One is simply a request for good book recommendations, though I'm also curious if anyone has ever run into books here they were familiar with back home?

The other is particularly for those also blessed by the Iris moon... Have you had any trouble with shocking things? And people? My last phase resulted in my being quite affectionate but it's a bit of a hardship trying to cuddle when you keep accidentally shocking your partner.

[There is a possibility of Crowley threadjacking, forewarning.]

[The video opens on a shot of an odd, vaguely conch-shaped object sitting upon a table, shimmering with strange iridescence in the light. Anyone familiar with the Lunar Scientia laboratories might recognize one of the R&D labs out of focus in the background.]

This object has been developed at the Lunar Scientia with my assistance. We have decided to call it the 'Dinnumion.'

[Yaha-kui zaShunina walks into frame behind the table, and the camera zooms out so that both he and the object are in frame.]

When two people make physical contact with the Dinnumion, they can share their thoughts with one another. In this way, mental images, emotions, and memories can be accurately transferred directly from one mind to another. This connection ends when when physical contact with the device is broken. The Dinnumion is a device that will improve communication and reduce misunderstandings.

I would like to give the Dinnumion to the people of Lunatia. However, the materials required to create a single device are rare, and so it is not currently possible to mass-produce. I can create more of them by replication, but each reproduction will require two weeks to complete. Moreover, though I would like to give them as a gift, the process of creation requires a substantial quantity of chroma. The only compensation I require is an amount of chroma equal to the creation requirement.

You may respond either directly to this video or to my inbox if you wish to receive a Dinnumion. Currently, only this single unit exists, [Meaning the one on the table] and two weeks will be required to create another. [Which means there's going to be a waiting list if more than one order is made.]

((OOC: I've put up an OOC post regarding the Dinnumion here for any questions you might have for it.))

[No video here! Just a teenage boy's voice that oddly sounds very professional and official as he records his post.]

Hi there, folks! This is Billy Batson reporting for WHIZ Radio. Now I'm sure a lot of you are wondering, what's WHIZ Radio or even, what's radio? Well for the first one, that's the station I used to work at back home. Hopefully Mr. Morris doesn't mind, but I was thinking it might be neat to establish a station or even just a show here. As for radio... I better let someone with more know-how explain It. But since this isn't technically real radio, the main point here is that our program is audio-only, no video. Does that make any sense?

Now onto the news! Lately our little home away from home has been visited by some particularly foxy newcomers. With them have come their celebrations and traditions, which look to be a lot of fun for all ages. Although it's worth mentioning I've heard reports of pickpockets running about, so make sure to keep an eye on your stuff during those long summer nights.

And our audience's favorite segment! Billy's Whiz Kid Superhero Sightings! Along with a bunch of other new arrivals, Captain Marvel was spotted at the beach festival not too long ago. Witnesses claim the hero participated in various party games and later assisted the staff at KRABBA. Goes to show you that no act of kindness is too small, even for the world's mightiest mortal.

Have you seen any superheroes saving the day or even going about their daily lives? Maybe you are a hero, and you'd like to come in for an interview! Let all of us here at WHIZ Radio know by contacting our head reporter, um... me, Billy Batson. We'd also love to hear any other news you've got or human-interest-stories or gossip or anything, really!

For WHIZ Radio, this is Billy Batson, signing off.

[Video comes on, and the device is pointed to an outside view of a garage in a Level 3 alley. It's likely not far from the main urban area, as faint bustling can be heard in the background. Just in front of the entrance, a blue neon sign comes on: CONAGHER'S TOOLS & MUNITIONS]

Beaut, ain't she?

[Judging by the Texan accent behind the camera, it's Engineer.]

Hey, y'all. This is Engineer, and... well. I guess Dell's fine, seein' as I got my real name up in neon now.

[He chuckles.]

Anyway. I just opened up shop. Conagher's Tools & Munitions is my personal workshop, here on Level 3, just outside the urban area.

You wanna come by, I can design, build, maintain, or fix you just about anything mechanical. My specialty's weapons, prosthesis, and robots. If you wanna bring me anythin' else, though, we can probably work somethin' out. I take chroma and demichroma both. If you need a mechanical engineer, come on down. I'm good at solvin' problems.

[A pause passes. He clears his throat.]

And, uh. For anybody who knows me personally, I guess... I live here now, too. You wanna get a hold of me, I'll be down here from now on.

[As the transmission ends, he leaves an address.

Business details and requests for Engineer's new business can be found here!]

trenchdoting

[The video feed clicks on, and a scruffy-looking man appears on the screen. He seems to be wearing his standard green trenchcoat over a Moon Knights uniform, and he has a proud grin stretching across his face.]

Hey there, pals! I did it!! I finally passed that test and made the Moon Knights! [A pause.] ...Oh, and also the name's Dick Gumshoe if you don't know me. I promise to do my best to solve crimes and protect people from danger around here! I- I don't exactly have any powers or anything, but I can be pretty resourceful, and I've got a few secret weapons at my disposal! In fact, I've got a few new ones now! Some kinda lie-detecting tablets, plus a magical... shield barrette... thingy! Pretty neat, huh? ...Anyway, if there's any trouble that needs to be investigated, just let me know. I'm the guy for the job, pal!
