[So, what comes up on the network isn't actually any words, but a picture. A big, obnoxious picture, with some text superimposed upon it. The picture is then followed by several others, all depicting a similar theme, and similar motif:]

( Ridiculous pictures under here )

[Following the pictures is a morose-reading text from a certain magician.]

To think, after two whole years apart, my own sister refuses to acknowledge me! I simply wished to spend time with my dear sister! Oh, the humanity..! My dear sister, if you can see this, please reconsider your cruel and coldhearted decision! Your brother misses you so!

[Sure he may have been a little overbearing with her, checking in on her a bit more than was necessary, but he had missed her! Being blocked on the Shellphones was hardly fair, in Lyney's humble opinion! He clearly didn't do a single thing wrong!]

[...Okay no he may have been quite annoying and irritating to his introverted sister and pushed her to block him because of his overbearing-ness, but like hell is he admitting that.]

Subject: WHO BOUGHT ME A HOUSE!?
Warnings:
Nothing for now!

[ The cheerful image of a carnation pink hedgehog suddenly fills the screens of those who own shellphones, a smile that could light up the sun itself lighting up her face as she addresses her current audience. ]

Hi! My name is Amy Rose, and I've been here for a few months now. I don't want to take up too much of anyone's time, but, I just wanted to thank whoever was kind enough to buy me the cutest little cottage!

[ If one squints, they'll be able to see that she is, in fact, sitting at a small kitchen table in the aforementioned cottage, which is still being decorated given... well. She just moved in. Somehow, she brightens even further. ]

This was the sweetest, kindest thing anyone has ever done for me! I have no idea which one of you did it, but I wish I did so I could give you a proper thank you! I understand if you want to stay anonymous... but that definitely won't stop me from trying to figure out who it is so I can at least thank you in person!

[ Amy's all about a good mystery, too; she's been informed that sometime in the near future at home, she'll have a murder mystery themed birthday party. And this, right here, is a REAL good mystery -- no one even died, so, that's WAY better! Her eyes light up suddenly, as she remembers something else she wanted to say. ]

Oh! That reminds me! Now that I have a real kitchen, if anyone here wants or needs something cooked or baked? I'm your girl! Seriously, it's been MONTHS and I've been dying to cook. So, if you need something done, let me know! Ah, but, I'm deviating... sorry! To wrap things up... whoever bought this place for me? Please don't be a stranger. Given you bought it, you know where I live. And... thank you, so much, from the bottom of my heart.

[ Amy bows politely with gratitude, and after a few moments, the feed cuts. ]

What: August's Manta Board & Catch-All
Warnings: Just sass for now...

Let's Spill Some Ink

Manta Board: General: Picture of Dorina Gray

Yeah.. I'm not here to get a painting.

[ Before you say anything else about it. ]

Instead, I'll just be here to support you.

[ If anything goes wrong, she leaves unsaid. She smiles so kindly, even if the words maybe don't make too much sense, the grin of confidence is at least reassuring. She'll open the door of Dorina's studio and gesture for you to go in first. ]


Manta Board: General: Beneath the Ink

[ She kneels down before a black inky trail. ]

I think we're close.

What did they say they were drawn to again?

[ She remembers it wasn't so different from those moths before, right?

She stands looking around a bit. At least they're not in any immediate danger for the time being. ]


Manta Board: Corsairs: Graven Trinkets

[ She's not exactly one for treasure hunting but.. powerful artifacts just lying around out there? Someone should probably consider taking care of it. And, honestly, it would be nice to just go out and see more of this place. So for those reasons she's on a boat, and for those reasons so are you, or whatever your reasons might be.

She'll step over to wherever you're standing, hands behind her back as she leans a little in greeting. ]

They're saying we should be close now.

[ She looks out to the speck of wreckage on the horizon. That's probably what they've been looking for. ]

Think anything's even left?


Manta Board: Corsairs: Vestment Vendetta

[ This place seems... adequately suspicious. Vendors and hawkers crowd a thin alley with everything ready to pick up and go at a moment's notice. People walk by with whispers to buy or sell, someone might grab an arm or shoulder to grab attention.

And Maelle is wholly uncomfortable with it all. She slides around people, swift to get out of the way or keep some peddler off. She ducks and dodges, looking back to make sure she hasn't lost you in the crowd. She manages to step to the side, a little quieter in a smaller nook amid the haphazard stalls. ]

Are we sure the diving suits are here? It seems like a bunch of junk to me.

[ Honestly, Gestral "treasures" would probably be more valuable. ]

Warnings: CW; TORTURE, VIOLENCE

I am not one to suffer fools. When I find that not only has one of my crew taken it upon themselves to act beyond stupidly, and more so believed they could use me to their advantage...

A lesson must be taught. An example must be made. Behold, Escordvi- the price of treachery.
