No, they are not, but I'd just rather avoid another confrontation between you and Dreigonix. Still a bit paranoid about that, I'm afraid.

About the worldbuilding, it seems like some people might be wondering what it's actually going to be, and are nervous about it.

I just thought our little world is severely lacking in media and fiction. So, I'm developed a big list of some movies, tv shows, cartoons, books, popular music and other pop culture things like fashion that we can incorporate if we want, with plenty of descriptions and stuff. I'm not really into all the country and political stuff so I decided to approach the worldbuilding from a different angle that appeals to me and the kinds of characters I usually play.

If you check the Recap page, there's already a few media and pop-culture related pieces of world-building in there. Enough for an occasional Shout-Out, I think. If you feel like you can add some more Expy stuff that our characters might be paying attention to in their youth, go ahead. Otherwise you should probably just leave it be.

[up][up]I might be able to help with that a little since I've been mentally coming up with names for rock-bands in universe so Medus could name drop them at some point. Nothing specific mind you, mostly just names and phrases I thought would always be good for band names

[up][up]Well, considering that I can only find recap posts about...two different series, and I've already written up a list that has dozens, I'd like to think I'll be okay to come up with something.

[up]PM me. I could use a couple more bands.

Yeah, I was planning on having the scene in the middle of the night, when most everyone else is either asleep or in their rooms already. All we need to set up the scene is a reason Medus and Ieria are still in the main room when Pius goes downstairs to get a comforting glass of chocolate milk, and we're good to go.

Then they hear a blood-curdling scream and run back to the dorms to see Beth dead, stabbed in her bed.

...AND NONE OF THEM HAVE AN ALIBI.

I don't think we'll have a dorm left if Ieria sees Beth dead.

As for Ieria and Medus being downstairs. I dunno, small talk about weapons and about how their fathers are sorta kinda embarrassing.

That is something I would not want to happen. Also, when are you gonna get a post up on Beacon-2? I know nman is in charge of your group's fight at the moment, but Chloe should probably participate in it, right?

@Romanian: Please have the players watch this news program at an appropriate time. Setting things up now.

VNN: Morning News

"Recently, an attempted robbery of a Dust Vault by a gang of mobsters belonging to an unknown gang has been golied by the recently recovered firstborn princess of Vale."

The screen showed Alice in her gold armor stepping into the vault, then bursts of gunfire, then the Princess exited, telekinetically lifting the robbers by their collars.

"Princess Goldflame as the masses have taken to call her has been foiling similar crimes all throughout this weekend. VNN had caught up with the Princess after the robbery and had asked for a comment."

Alice's fierce face filled the screen. "I am simply doing my part in protecting my kingdom and that extends to this Vormund vigilante as well. If you are watching this, vigilante, know that you are a danger to my people. I will find you. And I will bring you to justice."

"And so the Princess issues a challenge to the legendary outlaw. In other news, a swath of destruction had been carved into southern Vale recently. Though it is currently unknown what caused these attacks, as the villages and towns caught in the onslaught were all but annihilated, a survivor has been on record stating that the destruction was "the wrath of the gods", and that the one responsible was "Hell's Dragon, sent to purge the sinners from this rotten world." Stay tuned for more information on this story.

The screen showed Maximillian Alexandros, CEO of the Mistrali Megacorp Olympos Corporation.

The man smirked at the screen, red eyes flashing from his expensive shades, his dyed golden hair glinting in the sunlight. He wore snakeskin pants, boots and jacket.

"In other news, Maximillian Alexandros has announced the grabd opening of the first Vale Branch of Olympos Corp. Olympos tower is located in the city of Vale, in the business district, and will open on Umbra 13."

Max Alexandros speaks to the camera, in perfect Common. "Well, it's about time Olympos showed those mongrels in Vale that there's only one world leader. And that Max Alexandros will always be the King of Business!

"And for our final story, Schnee Dust Quarries have been attacked and workers executed by unknown terrorists in the Third Court of Atlas. The ruler of the Court, Lord Ujasiri Ukungu has denied all connections to the crimes. That said, Royal Knight Jude Von Ormann will be flying to Atlas later this week to investigate. A decision that Lord Ukungu is not pleased with."

"When asked to comment, Sir Ormann only said that Ukungu should be uncomfortable and that he liked "seeing old Nyoka squirm." That is all for Today's VNN broadcast.

Sorry, was sleeping. Working on a post right now.

Also, meant to post this back when it happened but the Vacuan backhanded wave is the rudest possible motion that can be given by a Vacuan, not that many people know. While not obscene, it illustrates that the giver finds the receiver to be boring and unnecessary of further contact. Its origins are traced back to when the Command and Enforcer castes had the others as what were essentially slaves and the motion was used to dismiss them when the slaves were annoying or making themselves unwelcome in their master's presence.
