April 7th, 2012

[Disgruntled House is disgruntled.]

Greetings, Siren's Port.

Since I arrived here, I have found found my operations disrupted on several occasions by the cavalier interference of magic from a variety of sources. This is disturbing, painful, largely inexplicable, and on the whole quite unacceptable. I wish to learn more about magic, both to further my own understanding and in the interests of better protecting myself and my residents.

It is my understanding that there are many different systems of magic from various worlds represented here, which function in a variety of different ways. Further, it appears that many of these systems including 'warding' provisions, which provide localized magical protection.

I wish to learn to compose wards in as many systems as possible. Additionally, I would like to observe magic performed - actual magic, however that may be defined, but not merely core-granted abilities - in order to learn more.

I would deeply appreciate any assistance with either of these endeavors, and would be happy to provide compensation in the form of temporary living quarters, free gourmet meals, or small diamonds.

- Pet Spirit Medium or Dreamwalker Wanted Please help! I’ve been having dreams of my late Irish Wolfhound, Scruffy, and I believe he’s trying to tell me something. Last year, when he began appearing in my dreams, he would dig under a certain rosebush in my backyard. We discovered a whiskey jar filled with old coins buried there. Now Scruffy has been barking me awake at exactly 3am every night. I’m not sure what he’s trying to tell me, but I feel like it’s something important. Call Frida Carlow @ NV#45-556 if you can help. Will pay up to $150 for a successful consultation.

- Recall on Marshmallow Peeps SEROnex drugstores have issued a product recall for popular Easter Candies, after discovering an enchantment cast on several imported shipments. While some stores are still keeping them on the shelves, consumers have been warned that eating these gooey treats may cause uncontrollable chirping for up to an hour after consumption, along with the temporary urge to mother-imprint on total strangers, following them around like ducklings.

This fun, flexible & frisky shapeshifter is looking to entertain you! I can take on almost any body type on request, male or female. Must provide overnight crash space if party is after sunset.

[The feed opens, and it’s clear the NV is rattling violently, a close-up view of smoke and fire engulfing the screen. A booming rumble thrums through the air.

[But just as suddenly as the feed comes on, it stabilizes. There are still flames and smoke in the background, but nowhere near as close as they were a few seconds ago.] Whew! Hm? Oh.

[The owner of the NV seems to have just realized it’s come on. Have little Gohan, face and clothes slightly sooty, looking straight into the camera. He's not smiling, but his expression, though somewhat disapproving, is still mostly relaxed.] Don’t worry, everyone; I’m okay. But you’ve gotta watch out for these eggs; they’re definitely not all fun and games.

[Yep, guess who found a cluster-bomb egg?]

bloodthirsts

[Oh hey guys it's Seras in her police uniform, Seras on her hands and knees peering down a large drainpipe with the bright remnants of a Joker easter egg shell nearby. ~~Dat bum.~~ She's obviously set her NV down for a moment and it's somehow managed to start recording. Maybe because of a fluffy yellow chick pecking at the concrete nearby. There's a couple more poking their heads out of a small basket.]

-- no no, Mr. bunny! You need to come out of there! The sirens are going to sound soon, it's not safe... please?

[Her tone makes it obvious Mr. bunny being nommed is a terrible prospect D8]

Just stay still... Um... [A dark tendril snakes from her arm, down the pipe, Seras frowns in concentration as the rabbit then emerges wrapped in shadow, obviously paralysed by fear of the unconventional rescue method. It's a white rabbit, brown ears and a patch over its left eye.] Phew! There we go! That's better isn't it? [Seras takes hold of the rabbit properly in her arms, it's obviously relieved to be out of the shadows grasp. Of course then she looks round for her NV and notices the camera is on.]

... erm...

[[OOC: Feel free to have your character hop in with an Action thread if they're nearby.]]

[The video feed begins, showing a composed young woman who appears to be quite calm. She isn't looking straight into the camera but slightly off-center, as if she's never communicated through video before.]

Greetings, everyone. My name is Meryl Stryfe of the Bernardelli Insurance Company. I have a partner, Milly Thompson—she seems to have lost her way, so if anyone has seen her, could you please direct me to where I could find her? Thank you very much.

[She hesitates before going on with exaggerated politeness, though it's less and less effortlessly sincere.]

In the meantime, the guides here have been very helpful, but I think they may be a little confused. I'm sure I was in a very small town, and Siren's Port doesn't appear anywhere on my atlas--

[She pauses, then frowns and crosses her arms over her chest.]

All right, I admit it, I have no idea how I got here, but I certainly didn't travel an entire world away without a ship! That's something out of a kid's story. Whoever's responsible for this, I just want you to know that I will find you, and when I do, I am going to sue you..

[When Castiel comes onto the screen, he looks... Disheveled. More so than his usual messy tie and fluffy hair; really disheveled, like a few extra buttons are undone on his shirt and he's missing his coat. Also he may be sprinkled in a large amount of gold and green glitter.

He doesn't seem impressed with life at the moment.]

What is appropriate retaliation against a friend who insists upon irritating you overtly and needlessly?

Unfortunately, I am aware that true physical harm is an overreaction, no matter how tempting.

Hello darlings~♥

I've got something to show yooooooooooooou~!

[ The camera image jiggles as it's set into position. Grell steps back and poses: hands on his hips, back arched, hair thrown back, and face...

Well. His face looks completely and utterly maniacal. Which is to say - he looks the same as he always does. Even his attire - a smart black suit, custom-designed and hand-tailored by Ishida Uryuu - is entirely unremarkable. ]

You all know me as a grim reaper who's super c~u~t~e ☆

But look at me now...

Reaper star power! Make-up!

[ Grell flings his arms out to his sides and twirls. There's a flash of gold light. His clothes disappear.

(Fortunately for everyone, he's got his back to the camera at this point!)

Rings of light surround his body and sweep upwards, leaving behind an entirely different outfit. ]

I'm a pretty mini-skirted soldier of justice and loooooooooooooove~!

[ Though Grell's tastes typically tend towards the terrifying, the persona he's presenting right now couldn't be more adorable. Even his voice has lost its usual roughness; it's pitched high and sweet. ]

I'm a magical girl!

♥

[ He blows a kiss towards the camera. The feed ends! ]

Damn and blast it all to hell.

Pardon my language. It's just that... well... circumstances being what they are, I've been forced to seek employment. What gentleman ever took a common job? But, needs must as the devil drives.

My going to task in order to pay the rent is bad enough. I'll tolerate that with as much dignity as I can muster. But, did that odious owner have to be such a bloody pain about reminding me to move out when I can, in order to make room for new newcomers?

Yes, yes, I'll move out next month. I don't want to stay at this blasted pit a moment longer than I need to. But, I barely got THIS much together. What do they expect from us?

Oh, and at the end of the day? I realized how much I dislike children.
