[This sucks, but he feels like he has to say something to warn anyone else from repeating his mistakes. Even if it's probably obvious all things considered, but you never know if someone's not taking the dangers seriously.]


This is a PSA for anyone who has unlocked the Dragon Blessed Powers.

Take the name 'High Risk Abilities' seriously.

I accidentally caused myself burns on my insides, absorbing sunlight and failing to release all of the powered up power on time.

So yeah, don't mess with them.


Also apparently you can accidentally learn to absorb sunlight instead of redirect it, which is why I'm in this mess.

Happy Saturday!

I'm going to be doing a little maintenance today. It will likely cause a tiny interruption of service (specifically for www.dreamwidth.org) on the order of 2-3 minutes while some settings propagate. If you're on a journal page, that should still work throughout!

If it doesn't work, the rollback plan is pretty quick, I'm just toggling a setting on how traffic gets to the site. I'll update this post if something goes wrong, but don't anticipate any interruption to be longer than 10 minutes even in a rollback situation.

[Diluc is currently working out of his and Kaeya's coffee shop in Sunwaning. The bakery counter behind him is stocked with some breads and cakes from local bakers - currently half empty thanks to sales - and the coffee machine is lightly steaming its way through a cleaning cycle.

The redhead has his hair up, and looks fairly at ease.]

I'm taking a moment to remind everyone that we are happy to display and sell the produce of any bakers and pastry chefs here. Barring the small commission taken to power the cabinet all profits will be yours for any sales made.

[Because he is a business man but not a thief.]

That aside, I have noticed some new faces, so I am opening the floor again to suggestions for coffee blends, flavours, and any particular fruit juices that people might want to see here. Assuming I can get hold of the required ingredients, I have confidence in my abilities to mix anything to a customer's satisfaction.

[He looks about to speak again, then turns his head quickly as a distant bang and then the distinct sound of something glass breaking rings out.]

... Pardon me. [And, as he lowers the phone to hang up.] Kaeya, come and get your rabbit--!

[Rinku left her phone unattended for a bit while Mecchan was taking a break at his birthday pool party, so...]

[Young Midoriya has acquired a new (temporary) tattoo of the magical variety that just might be visible on his scarred arm since he forgot he's wearing shorter sleeves at the moment, as he laughs and plays with a new companion. That is to say, an Eevee. He's got himself another pet to add to their growing collection at their house, apparently. But somehow, Eevee just seems....appropriate. For someone like Izuku. He laughs as Eevee bounds around and plays, watching and recording for a moment before he turns the camera back to himself.]

So. I've never had a pet or anything before. I could use some name ideas? If anyone has any? At the very least, it might help narrow things down to what I wouldn't want to call them?

[Judging from the smudge of paint on her hands and cheeks and the art stuff scattered around the area, Mary had been in the middle of some artwork when she got hit by burning questions that she just had to field out to the network right away. Best plan.]

So when someone is, uh- [What's the word- never mind.] When someone has more than one boyfriend or girlfriend, and they decide to get married, how does it work??

Do they have one biiig wedding with everyone there? With a really big cake with a layer for each person?

Or do they have a wedding for each pair? Because that would mean loads of weddings. And wouldn't you need a different suit or dress for each one?

I don't get it.

...Also how long does it take for people to start dating and get married because some people take foreveerrrrr.

[ Golden Cheese cookie opens her video for once not lounging on fine silks and pillows - well, she's small, so technically she's still on them, but she's standing up! ... It makes a difference, really! ]

Greetings, my dear citizens! It is I, your golden goddess, Golden Cheese Cookie!

[ A pause, then a quickly spoken mutter - ]

Yes, I am actually a Cookie, let's get that out of the way before I'm asked a dozen times...

[ A-hem. Clears throat. Back to being ROYAL and WONDERFUL. ]

I have decided to grace you all with the most wondrous news! In my kingdom, the birds that inhabit that land are far more intelligent than any other across Earthbread. These intelligent Cheesebirds only get smarter over time, able to take on the most complicated computers and calculations...! ... But because this world is so behind the times, and they tend to learn more as a group, the one that came with me to this world is slightly trailing back. But, no matter! The news is...

... This one has learned to speak! So, prepare your ears, for my loyal attendant's first word! Remember this sacred time for all your years!

[ She steps aside to reveal the little Cheesebird, who looks a little nervous. They glance nervously at their mistress, flapping their wings a bit... They screw their eyes shut...! ]

chirpchirp.... G... G... GOLDEN! ...chirp.

[ A beat... and then Golden Cheese Cookie claps her stubby hands wildly! ]

Excellent! Perfect! Clearly this one will be the smartest Cheesebird of them all when it's older...!

[ One gets the feeling this is less of an Empress displaying a servant than a Mom showing off her kid... ]

Good evening, Ellipsa.

[Ah yes, it's time for Caster's traditional 'my husband isn't here and I'm sad about it' Valentine's Day distraction post.

She's sat in her cozy Coldreach cottage, apparently working on a tiny scale model of a boat- still in her ominous evil witch cloak, of course, that's not changing.]

After seeing those bottled ships at Riki's Store, I thought I might try and make my own. It is coming along rather nicely, don't you think?

Tell me, does anyone else have interesting craft projects they have been working on? Do share.

[It was... a little embarrassing, showing her model-making talents to Ellipsa as a whole, but her work had always been well-received at the art festivals, so maybe this wouldn't be so bad...]

[The screen comes on to Rinku in a colourful dress, clapping and swaying from side to side.]

Mecchan's birthday is coming up! It's in almost two weeks! He's too shy to have a party, but I wanted to let everyone know! When you have someone in your life who's really anxious and doesn't wanna have a big celebration, how do you let them know they're loved and appreciated?

Also!

[Rinku bounces on her heels and makes an excited noise.]

I got a ship!!! I don't know what I'm gonna do with it but does anyone wanna do that boat race up in the Winter Segment with me? It sounds like a ton of fun! We could get a whole crew together and everything!

[Rinku beams at the camera... and then stops.]

Uh... also also, related. How do you actually sail a ship?

 Hi all, sorry for going MIA February was super shit month for me, esp the first two weeks (ended up having to deal with the police about two seperate things) and it kind of screwed with my mental health.

Mira and I are still around though and I'm playing catch up with things atm.
