Uh hey it's Kaito.

Figured some folks are new so I'd plug my deliveries and stuff again. If you want somebody to pick something up for you or drop things off somewhere, I can do that. Or if you need a ride, that's cool too. Just drop me a line. I usually do pay-what-you-want, with a base price of [the equivalent of 5 bucks].Usually close shop around 10PM unless you're in dire straits at Insomnia, etc.

What I really wanted to say though is that we've all got replicators and stuff, but a lot of us have been upgrading them, right? We've got a whole ton of stuff in ours, so we figured we'd offer it's services out to everybody else. Just lemme know what you want and we can work it out with the same delivery price or whatever (Lup & Tony -- dunno if your kitchens need more stuff but we could figure out stuff if you wanted)

Magolor used to have a whole thing set up for services and stuff. Dunno if it still works so Shinji and Kyoko and I tried to make a new one for sharing ingredients. Think it should work right here. Our stuff is on there too. for perusing? yeah
edit you can add things to the sheet if you want to share what you have with everybody. uh the delivery parts are if you're fine with me picking things up, or if you'd rather just do it yourself if that makes sense. i'm cool either way. it's more about sharing what we've got anyway

that's it, thanks

[Here's a picture of a large tablet— or more specifically, a picture of the picture that was drawn using the tablet. The drawing is of two boys and a girl, done in a sketchy, color pencil style.]

Before I came here, it was hard to imagine how technology could be used for good reasons. It was useful, but never fun.

I think I understand it a little better now, though. It just depends on who makes it, who uses it, and what reason they're using it for.

The only thing that's different is that I can't put these pictures on the walls in my apartment.

Maybe that's for the best, though...

[ Mina was asleep for the past three days, and her dream was horrible. When she woke up, she was sore and covered in bruises, but that's the least of her worries. After telling the temple guards she could stand up and go back to her place on her own, Mina ventures outside while reaching for her tablet.

the video feed starts and she offers a big smile that she tries really hard to keep. Mina will talk while she's walking, slowly and stumbling ]

I'm awake... I- I don't know what happened, I just... It's all very confusing, everything in this place always is- [ she takes a deep breath, to push her hair off her face, and suddenly she trips and falls. The communicator falls too, but the video feed doesn't stop.

Mina grips to her knee, now bleeding due to her fall ] it hurts- [ she whispers that, and after clings to her leg ] it really hurts... [ the smile isn't there and a sob follows while Mina nuzzles her knee.

And finally, she starts crying, sobbing loudly like a child. Because... well, she is one. ]

ooc: action welcome! Either meet her on the street, or feel free to drop by katsuki's place later on since that's where she will be staying for a while. ]

[From the feed, it's clear Tony's not the one holding the camera and as a dramatic contrast to his first message, he was smiling brightly with an excitement only a new project can bring. Aaah, spring.

Anyway, he's standing in the entertainment district with one of the old abandoned businesses behind him with a sledgehammer in his hands.]

Good morning Havenwall! For those who don't know me, I'm Tony Stark and that...., is Mr. Petunia.

[He points and the camera moves to include Gladio standing a few feet behind him with his trademark easy-going grin and a large industrial broom resting over one shoulder. He rolls his eyes and gives the camera a friendly wave and, when Tony isn't looking, flips the idiot off playfully.]

Just kidding, you dandelion, that's Gladio Amicitia!

We're here in front of what will be the new Insomnia 2.0 bar!

[Brief pause for effect.]

We're looking for some volunteers for helping us remodel this place and possibly, if you're hot and we actually can stand you, working here once it opens. Just think, the faster this bad boy gets ready, the faster we can drink and eat greasy bar food!

Hello, I am Era.

I have non-perishable food available for anyone who has been unable to acquire enough sustenance from their replicators.

Vianca's gone back to wherever she's from, looks like. Somehow I ended up with the key for P&P...

I'll keep an eye on it when I can, but I'll leave the door open if anyone needs a place to chill, and you can borrow books freely. Use the sign out sheet and bring it back when you're done. If you wreck anything and just leave it that way I'll kick your ass.

Who's good with flowers? I'd like them to still be here for her if she ever comes back. I do okay with my garden but idk, want to be sure.

[A disheveled middle aged man's face appears on the screen looking incredibly over it. Whatever 'it' is, he's been done with it since Friday and there's no end in sight. There's a large smear of chocolate running from just about his ear on his left side down his neck and along one side of a red hoodie he's wearing.]

Dammit! Damn this place and those creepy bears from god-knows-what! Where the hell am I? Voidtreckers, if you can hear me, my communicator isn't connecting me to the train!

Of all the f-

[Tony's cut off as he spots another bear gang down the street and moves quickly to an alley out of sight.]

What is this place?

[A young man starts the video with ease, holding in his his hands so that he can look down at the camera. He likes looking down at people. He's still in his winter costume, slouching against a wall as he looks crossly at the camera.]

I ain't about long speeches, so I'm gonna keep this short and get to the action! Name's Katsuki Bakugou, I'm a hero and I ain't gonna hug anyone! Instead I'll save everyone the way a hero saves people! Don't piss me off!

[His scowl breaks into a bright, yet still angry looking smile. It just ends up appearing as if he's just opened his mouth in a poor attempt to smile as he continues to glare.]

In my hero training, we've learned gathering intel's important, so I'll start with some questions:

Has anyone ever tried blowing up that shitty wall? I need to figure out why they failed.

Hello, everyone! This is Pyra, and I have important news!

For the past year, Honerva and I have been monitoring the energy levels around us, specifically that which makes up the barrier. While the barrier appears uniform, it's actually made up of four distinct signatures of energies. These energies fluctuate throughout the year, and there happens to be one that tends to come out in greater quantities than the others. After studying these energies some more [ And with greater concentration and effort on their part, certainly, because none of these energies can be detected alone-- ] we've discovered that at the point of touch or contact, this energy is undeniably generated, and the unique bands travel towards the direction of their corresponding temples.

If anyone is wondering, we haven't detected any energy generated by touch that might be traveling elsewhere, such as towards the Crawling One or Winged One as mentioned in the archives.

I'm sure some of us remember the following messages received two months ago, "Balance must always be kept"; before that from the Archives, "Balance, [The Winged Lord] told His followers, must always be kept"; and from Nalom last year, "Remember to keep the balance." It might just be that the balance that they're referring to is the four energies in relation to one another, and currently, it seems that Rawna's energy has been dominating for some time. [ Hopefully, however, not for long. ] It doesn't seem productive to simply discourage those aligned to Rawna from engaging in touch, since despite all of these messages of balance, we've seen some definitive changes in this city alone from what we've all accomplished together. We've come so far!

Since Ainir of last year, myself, Honerva, and Lup have been working on a conduit together, forged from nicean and sildar ores, the same ores found in the chasis units of the locals, to take in the excess, unbalanced energy into its core. We're hoping that we'll be able to help correct this balance in a few different ways. Our purposes for this conduit include:

• creating an exoshield around us to help explore outside the city's barriers

• creating a haven with the conduit like a checkpoint or a satellite base outside the barrier

• powering and protecting vehicles as they travel outside the barrier

• to be simply worn by individuals who engage in more touch than others to divert excess, imbalancing energy into the conduit instead of upsetting the balance of the barrier that protects us all.
I'm happy to report that we've presented this prototype and the goals to the researchers, and they seem interested!

Of course if anyone is interested in refining and continuing to work on these projects along with us, just let me know! A fair warning, though, that even though the researches are interested in what we can discover, the priests are not very supportive.

And if anyone is interested in exploring outside the barrier, I would be happy to lend you one of these prototypes to see how well (or faulty), our current version of the conduit works. I'm especially keen on anyone who is willing to explore further down the factory's mine shaft or those interested in finding the potential location of Fractured Hill.

(I would also like to thank Cloud for gathering all the scrap metals from the ruins to help with this project, Besithia for repurposing all the excess metal and continuing to investigate more on his own, Magolor who is no longer here but I've bounced ideas off of, and Noct for being so very supportive and tolerant of me coming home with metal shavings all over me.)

[ OOC: For fairness to all the people who wish to have their characters go beyond the barrier and limited slots, I'm going to only be counting those characters who expressed interested and responded on this post. ]

[ The angle was a little awkward--I hope everyone appreciates a view up Zhongli's nose and of his chin. At least he has a nice tie on?? And the earring is something pretty to look at.

It's apparent, though, that the tablet is being carried around as its owner strolls comfortably down the streets. It catches some nice sights of the snow drifts, at least, and how lovely the storefronts and streetlights look reflecting on the white snow. ]

Good morning.

I've been sitting on the idea of organizing and hosting the Liyuan New Years festivities--or Spring Festival, as many also call it--since I'll be missing the events from my own homeland. It's quite a large event, however, and isn't something I could undertake alone, especially being a new arrival without much Dora to spend.

The New Year is heralded by the new moon that falls between specific dates in January and February, with this year's date falling on February 12th.

Typically, there are phases to the celebration, including cleaning and preparing the home a week before the date, making offerings at temples to allow our ancestors to eat first, feasts, parades, and fireworks. The day of the new year heralds the beginning of the Spring Festival, and there are specific customs performed on certain days, but it's mostly a time for families and loved ones to spend together.

Typically, all of Liyue harbor shuts down for the week during Spring Festival, and the Qixing provide meals and restitution for families that would otherwise be unable to take the time off during the holiday.

Then, on the fifteenth day of the new year, we celebrate the Lantern Festival, wherein we herald the coming of the year of the Metal Ox, a spirit of the earth.

That all said, I will be willing to make arrangements to procure the necessary Dora if you require such to provide food, fabric, paint, fireworks, performers, and other such supplies. I'm also capable of moving Earth in practical or fashionable ways, and can provide many other services if you would prefer a trade. Donations and assistance are likewise gratefully accepted.

I have a long list of required materials, and anyone interested in performing for parades or helping with the pyrotechnics would be much appreciated.

If there are any questions or concerns, please feel free to address me here. I'll also be busy about the shopping district and temples for the next few days.

[the video starts with a close-up of a pair of brown eyes, his entire face coming more into view once he pulls back. his fellow offworlders are surely used to seeing people using this technology for the first time.

he doesn't look wary, or confused, or frustrated by it. it's only a moment before wei wuxian's breaking into a wide smile.]

Can everyone really see me through this thing? I wish we had something like this where I'm from! It would be a lot quicker than butterfly talismans...but certain elders would probably make anyone kneel just for using them...

[no names mentioned.

lan qiren.]

Ah! I'm Wei Wuxian, newly arrived with a vow to help however I can! [he holds up his hand in a promise salute.] One question, not everyone here is as shiny and cold as the one who gave me this device, right?

Oh! Speaking of unpleasant, if anyone happens to run into a tall, rigid and uptight-looking guy who also looks like he's wearing mourning clothes, could you let me know? I'll buy you a drink at the nearest bar!

[for the first time, wei wuxian's smile slowly fades, his expression turning more worried.]

Eh...there are bars here, aren't there?

[ Looks like there's a redhead enjoying a nice dinner for himself. Nothing too fancy, just a partially eaten burger is visible on the screen, and the booth seat behind him.

That he found some way to lounge in with an arm stretched across the back. ]

So, free housing, huh? Not bad, but I'm not sold on the kitchen appliances in 'em just yet. I mean, I've had MREs, but that's just a whole new level, yo. How do they really taste?

Anyway, name's Reno, and accordin' to everyone else, guess I'm stuck here too.

Please tell me I can buy alcohol here..

Goooood evening, everyone!

[It’s like, 3pm, that’s not that late at all. But Childe doesn’t care about that! What he cares about is getting information.

The camera has been propped up a stand, so you can see Childe from the waist up - a red-haired man (boy?) who can’t be more than 20, with a red mask tucked into his hair and blue eyes that are crinkled into a smile.]

I’ve got a couple questions, but I’ll try not to take up too much of your time.

[Hopefully less time than it took him to really figure out this piece of tech. Could you imagine what it would be like if they had this sort of thing in Teyvat?]

First off, probably one that’s been asked a lot - just how serious is everyone about this whole… Cuddling up to people to rejuvenate the world or whatever? Like, that’s not literal, right?

[Please tell him it’s not literal. He’s not the cuddly type. Still, time to move on to the more important question. He perks up, grin getting even brighter.]

Second question! I’m sure I’m not the only fighter here, and hopefully I’m not the only one who doesn’t want to get rusty… So, is there anyone who’d want to spar with me?

[He claps his hands together.]

And that’s it! Oh, right - you can call me Childe. And anyone interested, just let me know whenever you want. Or attack me out of the blue! That's fine, too.
