Good afternoon, everyone. My name is Baizhu, and I am an herbalist and physician currently working out of Solarpeak.

[He will attach the location of his shop, in case anyone is interested.]

I would be interested in speaking with anyone who experienced adverse effects due to touching the barrier that was recently erected to block the sky, particularly if their maladies have not yet entirely subsided. And... anyone who was infected by a vampire.

[The doctor clears his throat softly.]

I would be willing to host anyone in my workroom in the Research Centre if making the journey to Solarpeak is too much to ask.

What's an odd or weird thing you've done, or can do?

[There's definitely a need for some lighthearted questions after what happened recently, right?]

And I don't mean like... oh this was something unbelievable that no one could relate to. Just... normal weird things. Like...

[He pauses to think.]

I learned how to play a single tune on the piano for a friend, and it's still the only thing I can play. I can't play the piano.

Rewards System Addition

Hello, dear players!

Thanks to a player suggestion, we have added a new option for handling Rewards!

We introduce The Thread Bank, a post where you can gather all your finished threads that no longer get any comments to "bank" them for use later. This method is completely optional and you can continue using the Rewards page as you have!

Those who do wish to start using the new system are free to make a completely new thread for their rewards on the page, as long as they remember to link to the old one. However, you can just apply the new system to the old thread as well.

Counting comments and keeping track of how much have been spent is all on your responsibility! The mods will keep an eye out, but we trust that our players do things correctly!

Have a nice weekend! We'll see you again on Bimonthly Update in July.

ELLIPSA!!!

[Yes, she is shouting. Good thing she's inside or else this would be making a scene.]

You have been graced by the presence of the great Mew Mew! I've met a few of you humans and not-humans-but-not-Monsters [She's met Rinku that is.] since I got here and like!!!

... This place is really a shithole, isn't it?!

[She is of course talking about the whole clean up after last month's incident. Ah, but she shouldn't leave off on that, should she?]

ANYWAY! I was wondering if anyone here has heard of a place called the Underground? Or a pompous robot called Mettaton?! [She would call out Napstablook, but she knows how shy her cousin is.]

video; un: reiner | The Survival Fortress

[ The video shows Reiner sitting at a table, all business. Someone else can be seen at the edge of the frame, but it's not immediately clear who. ]

Recently, me and a few others went on an expedition to the Survival Fortress in the Winter Segment. Olwen asked us to fill you in on what happened.

The most important thing we learned is that the Survival Fortress is full of demons. Hundreds of them. It's not a place to explore without adequate preparation, training, and numbers. Keep that in mind.

The second most important thing is that we rescued someone from there. A man named Virion, who had been captured and tortured. He was in bad shape, but he'll make an official statement after he's had some rest.

Hey everyone! My name is Kaito Momota, Luminary of the Stars! I'm a recent arrival, still settling in.

[He's all smiles, grinning at the camera. At least he'll start this off with cheer and energy, even if he does need to ask something more serious later.]

Other than the observatory, I wanna hear the best stargazing spots there are. The sky looks similar, but I feel like I'll find something different here than I couldn't back home.

[Ultimate Astronaut be Astronauting and so on.]

Otherwise, just tell me about great spots for some relaxing and possible training. I gotta keep my body in shape but I can't forget taking breaks either.

[Buuuut... he looks more serious now.]

Speaking of bodies. Can anyone help me check something? I heard we're all healed when we get here, but I wanna be sure I'm actually healed from the disease I got. If not, getting rid off it would be great, too.

Video | UN: StageAlchemist

[Rui looks a bit sheepish as he starts the video, rubbing the back of his head.]

So, my birthday is coming up on June 24th. I haven't really bothered celebrating it since I got here, or at home much either, but I figured I should try having a birthday party this year. I'm not going to limit the guest list or anything, since I'm not sure who would actually be interested in attending, and I have room in Wonder Blooming Theater for a pretty large party if that happens. So feel free to come.

[Never mind that that isn't the intended use for the theater.]

But the point of this is actually to figure out what to do for the party. I have a lot of big ideas, but I should probably save them for future parties. I'd rather start out with something simple and normal.

That being said: What are some staples of birthday parties?

[ The video opens on a close-up of a truly kick-ass vehicle. It's tough! It's rugged! It's got hooks on the front that look like tusks! Truly, this is one bad-ass—

The video zooms out. The vehicle is tiny. A child could ride in it, maybe. But certainly not an adult.

An extremely gruff male voice mutters, ]

What the fuck.

[ Then a woman's laughter rises in the background. "What, Maine, compensating for something?"

The man grumbles, and the feed clicks off. ]

002: The Vampirism Problem (Audio; un: togami)

[Byakuya is sticking to audio today, just in case... would a vampire really appear on a video? Now was not the time to test that. Besides, he hadn't quite mastered making himself look as sharp and presentable as always without a reflection. Regardless, one could perhaps imagine his arrogant posture as he addressed the network.]

Good evening, Ellipsa.

Now that last month's crisis has resolved, and we have all had time to recover and carry out independent research, I wanted to follow up on our approach going forward. Namely, for everyone else who has become changed by what happened.

[Who died and put him in charge again?]

With this in mind, my goal is to compile resources and advice on how best to manage the vampirism situation. Any input would be extremely valuable, even if you wish to remain anonymous.

Firstly, I want to gather a list of contacts for people who can repair damaged furniture and doors, those who sell blackout curtains, or trustworthy individuals who are able to provide blood without the need to harm others.

Secondly, if no one else has taken the initiative, I intend to approach the Research Centre to see if they have anything in development that might mitigate the negative effects of sunlight.

And finally... I gather others here have been experimenting with item enchantment. If any of you have knowledge on imbuing a mirror with the ability to make vampires visible, that would be appreciated.

[Looking in a mirror and seeing nothing at all... it turned his stomach.]

I realise this is new and difficult for all of us, however I believe we can at least make the situation more manageable. Please inform me of any resources or information to be added, and feel free to refer to it whenever it is needed.

[He's attached his findings and resources so far, but hoped others would pitch in with their own soon enough.]

[Hello from a blonde young woman, who is more or less clearly recording this on the balcony of her beach home in Solarpeak.]

Okay, you know what, after being here for a while... I guess I am sort of itching [she frowns] -- no, that sounds ... weird... more like missing -- something to do instead of just being here in my endless vacation.

[She stops frowning and smiles a little instead.]

So. Hi. [A short, little wave before she puts her hand down.] My name is Buffy Summers and I already offered these on the auction at the Arts Festival -- and thank you for all of your interest there -- but back then I figured I'd offer these here later, so here I am.

[Trying not the be the most awkward ~~turtle~~ girl ever on camera and so far not doing the best job at that but it is what it is... Whatever. Her point with this post is-- ]

I've been out there fighting mostly against all sorts of vampires, demons, and other creatures from all sources of evil back home for years. And my last year-ish back home was full of trying to teach all of my skills to a big group of girls. Yes, only girls. It's one of those "in every generation there's only one person" things from my world, and it's only for girls, so that's why only them there.

If any of you are interested in combat training, self-defence lessons and so on anywhere in Ellipsa, I'm not looking for only girls this time because I can do it differently here and we all need those skills sometimes. So, this is open to everyone.

[A pause and a few beats before she remembers her other point with this whole posting to the network thing.]

Or if anyone here is looking for sparring partners, I'm always up for that too. With or without weapons. My own summer skills are kind of rusty, though, so maaaaaybe we won't spar with those, or at least not from my side of things. Or quests, we could do quests too.

[Or just company? Friends? Those are always nice too even if she doesn't say that. At least not that directly because one more thing before she ends this post.]

Or if you're not up for any of that, we could go, I don't know, shopping? Do people still do all sorts of platonic dates here? I could do those too.

So, um, hi!

[Evangeline seems more anxious than she normally does, but she's smiling, at least.]

Apparently, when you start dating someone, you're supposed to make some sort of announcement on the internet so all your friends know? At least that's what I hear. And I, definitely didn't do that! Three times over! So, um, oops?

I'm dating three people now! Fajra, Barghest, and Chipp. Um, things are going... well? They're going well.

[Honestly still not sure what she's doing but she's trying her best!!]

So, uh, yeah, that's it. ...Do you, like, open the floor to questions here or what...?
