[A well dressed rabbit appears on the network today. He smiles as he folds his hands in his lap in front of him. Someone or something else is holding the phone, clearly.]

Good evening, my fellow Otherworlders. I am the White Rabbit. A pleasure to speak with you all. After the events of the blackout, the assault on the main police headquarters, and the release of those criminals, we were all quite busy. Arresting the criminals, battling the vampires that appeared, and the recovery after the fact. What an exciting way to be greeted to a world that has asked us to save it.

Proving, with certainty, it needs our help.

I have a question however. Why does this world deserve saving?

Surely those who have been here for some time have an answer. What reasons have you found to fight, struggle, and persist to help this world to the same? For those more recently arrived, such as myself, what reasons have we chosen to save this world. If you have.

And vice versa. If you have decided to not save this world, what then are your goals here?

Quite the ice breaker, isn't it?

[He chuckles.]

I hope to hear from you soon.

[There is a ghastly hissing noise then the video ends.]

I want to race.

[Well that's a very straightforward way to start a post! Appare is sitting outside on a bench, holding his phone so the video stays focused on his face as he continues.]

Where can I find parts to build a car? And where can I build a race track? I haven't found a single one for me to use.

[It's a shame there isn't a racing circuit in Ellipsa... but that's where Appare is coming in! He wants to start one himself!]

Also... who else wants to join in? I can't race myself.

Hey...

[ Little wave. The crooked smile of a guy who wanted to go for a more bombastic self-intro and chickened out at the last second. He's addressed crowds and cameras so many times but he's had the same audience basically since birth... it's a little weird addressing strangers. He's shooting from inside one of the starter apartments, leaning against a desk in a posture that's relaxed, casual... and clearly affected. ]

I'm Twilight. People also call me the Demon King? Not here though! I'm new. Thanks to everyone who's helped me out. At the start, during that whole... incident. I didn't think I'd get used to the sun rising every every day but I'm kind of glad to have it back after nothing at all. Haha.

[ Immediately doubting whether laughing about that was a good idea, is he making light of their disaster aaaah- deep breath Twilight. ]

There are a lot of questions I'd like to ask! But I don't want to just poll everyone on the network and miss out on the nuance, I want to get to know everyone here and... how they feel, not just what they think.

So... I heard they have a lot of saunas in Frostreign, so I'm inviting anyone who thinks that sounds relaxing to join in for a group visit. As a kind of get-to-know-me. They're popular back home too, so it's familiar ground for everyone, right?

Again, open invitation, so just let me know if you're interested!

[ Spa Day with the Demon King, what an adventure. ]

[ The video begins with Reiner (tall, blond, handsome, serious-looking) standing in front of a small curio shop with various stone and wood sculptures on display in the window. The sculptures are all well-made and unique, clearly created by hand. ]

Hey, everyone. For those who don't know me, I'm Reiner Braun. I've been here for a long time. And I'm here to announce the grand opening of my shop.

[ He pans up to show the sign: BraunSphere. ]

I'm selling little trinkets and stuff. I'm also selling amulets with defensive properties. Only defensive; don't ask me about offensive enchantments.

[ He pans the camera back down, showing off the merchandise in the window. It's quite an impressive display! ]

If you find something you like but it doesn't quite suit, I do take custom orders. And if you like Amberfall and you'd wanna work at a place like this, let me know. I'm hiring. Full or part-time, your choice.

Thanks.

[Kazuichi's on the network, this time not screaming and panicking. He's also wearing glasses over regular brown eyes. Sometimes you just didn't want to use contact lenses.]

Hey guys! Do you remember when someone suggested a technology club? Well I still want to see that happen. I'm just not the best at organizing that kinda stuff...? But I'd be willing to give it ago if others are still interested? Of course if someone else wants to do it...

Anyone know good places to gather in? Somewhere with enough space for all kinds of projects to do, but still places to just chill out and chat, you know?

[That's about that, then he adds a personal small add:]

Also if anyone needs their appliances or vehicles fixed, you can call me, Kazuichi Soda. I'm the Ultimate Mechanic and have worked with this stuff since I was a little kid. I will probably ask for compensation, but it won't be too much. Just a little to live by until I figure out a job.

ACTIVITY CHECK: MAY 2025


Ahoy, mateys! Here be the monthly Activity Check!

In the Extra Notes section, please note the following, as well as anything else worth noting:

  • Discoveries about the missing ships and crews near the drowned island.
  • Discoveries about the Tara-Tam Deepcroft.
  • Results from current bounties.
  • Any results/discoveries from crew quests.
  • Any whales that were helped/treated in Baleen's Reach.
  • Any deep sea folk assisted.
  • Ideas/results/conclusions from discussions on how to bring Elah back.


Please check our Activity Check guidelines on our Game Info page for complete details, but here is the quick list of what you need to know:

» Only threads dated from May 1st through May 31st count towards the month's activity. (With the exception of certain backdated threads, read the linked AC guidelines for more details.)

» Activity requires one thread of at least 5 comments. The comment count is from your character.

» Any thread counts, including those made within your own entries and subthreads within your own toplevels. Individual entry posts do not count, only the threads within the posts. TDM threads with non-game characters will count.

» Continuation threads are considered as part of the previous thread so they count as one thread not two. For the sake of ease, we would like the two threads linked together.

» You are exempt from any checks for hiatuses that last for over 21 days. Anything less and you'll still need to submit your AC unless there are other circumstances.

» Because we are a capped game, there is no strike system. If you do not make the AC requirements, you will be cut.

» Bonus AC points: All extra non-quest threads not used for AC will be worth 2 extra points that can be used for reward redemption. Please check our Rewards page for more details.


There will be no warnings. All submissions are due Saturday, May 31st 11:59PM US Eastern.

EXTRA FIELDS: This is not required and completely optional, but included in the submission form are two optional fields: Extra and MANTA Board Posting.

For the Extra field, this is just a space for players to note anything that occurred in their threads that they think might be fun for us to know. So if something particularly interesting happened (for example: discovering a new creature or location, an old artifact, or perhaps a character has stolen something), we highly encourage players to jot them down! Who knows, we may even find a use for it… In addition, we may ask players to submit certain activity related to an event.

You may also submit MANTA board requests to be included in the upcoming board. We will try to add them immediately, otherwise we'll save them for the next Board or a time we deem fitting. If you don't have one in mind at the time of AC, you can post it later to the upcoming Captain's Log announcement.



If you have any questions, ask them here.


FORM: Fill out the following form and comment directly to this post. If you have multiple characters, please put them in one comment.

Couple things I've been wondering about, lately. Figured now that the brand crap has settled down a bit, it's as good a time as any to ask.

- Any word on where the Paladin Leviathan went? Lost track of that discussion with all the under water adventures.

- Has anyone heard anything about any Riftfarers ever getting promoted in their respective Armadas? We know they have superiors, a council each - Paladins especially have a military type structure, from what I've seen. But has anyone ever been an officer? Or whatever passes for it in the Corsairs?


[It just seems weird, okay.]

- And ah, less seriously

[He almost starts typing "Looking for experience with getting a house" but deletes it. That's too forward, probably.]

Pet fish. Suggestions welcome. The hardier the species the better.

[NAILED IT.]

[The video starts with Mike sitting at a kitchen table. He smiles at the camera and gives it a cute wave.]

Hi there. With the sun out once again, I wanted to check on people. See how you are. I know it's great to see the sun again but have you seen my son?

[Oh yes. It's one of these kinds of posts. He holds up a picture of Katsuki, clearly a candid photo, of him sitting across the table from Mike in this one. His son has spiky blond hair, red eyes, and a kind of glare as he notices he's getting his photo taken.]

This is my Kitkat. He's a hero by trade. I'll admit, having a superhero for a son is amazing. At least if I ever get abducted, I'll get saved in no time. He can fight and oh boy is he smart. And even when the chips are down, he never gives up. He lost his arm and had a nasty run in with vampires during that whole mess and he's still going strong. AND! LOOK!

[Another picture, this one of Bakugo yawning, showing off his new fangs.]

He's got them teefs! And they're so cute. And manly and serious and all that but come on. Kitkat definitely looking like his nickname sake. He just needs little fluffy ears and he'd be set. Anyway.

I got some more pictures here. [He shows them off, one of Katsuki yelling about something, another with Mike doing a selfie as Bakugo is eating cake, and lastly one with Bakugo showing off a silver skull gauntlet that has explosions erupting from the eye sockets. He's clearly laughing like the chaos gremlin he is.]

And I know at this point you've seen this Kitkat. Sorry but I'm one of those Dads who loves to show off pictures of his kids. I'm not sorry.

I hope everyone's okay now! Cleaning up after all that is HARD but at least my house didn't get hit too bad... Does anyone need help with anything after last week? Oh, and speaking of my house, we just added a bunch of expansions! We've got an indoor pool now! Friends can come over whenever! I think I know most people on here anyway, and Mary-chan's got a bunch of friends too.

Also also! During that whole thing I tried the full shapeshift. You know, the dragon skill that changes you on the inside and not just the outside? I did it to be more giraffe than I already am because I thought it would help me fight. And it was like, whoa! I could see everything! And hear everything! And I kinda kicked a guy into a wall! Does anyone know how to deal with sensory overload if I ever do that again because it's kind of a lot and by kind of I mean a lot a lot.

🔗

P.S. Hina-chan's turning one on the 7th! If you're friends with her come over then! We'll have blood cake and regular cake.

[Katsuki had been turned into a vampire a few days ago, and he's just been SO bothered by it the whole time since. No matter how many times his friends try to comfort him and reassure him that being a vampire doesn't change who he is as a person, he feels so...... evil. And he hates it.

He needs to know he's not alone in this. So that's why he's making this post today.]


So. Vampires.

Those are apparently a thing.

Anyone else dumb enough to get turned into one or is that just me and my stupid ass?
