I do remember this one-- er, one of the nicer curses, as I recall, if a bit confusing. For those of you who've come to join us, I assure you it's not the worst place you could end up, at least for a day.

Er-- but, should anyone need a hand, do let me know. I'm always glad to help, if I can.

[ooc; please no duplicate aziraphales. pretty much anything else welcome! backdating friendly forever.]

Whoa! There's a lot more of you shits than there was last time... [Don't you hear it City? All those confused people everywhere, even through this feed.]

Uh, anyway, the old lady at the ramen shop said she's giving away free ramen to the next nineteen people. Better be quick if you're hungry.

[ooc: Fourth wall away! Action is welcome too.]

That time again, huh? I guess I'd better put on the charm and work the crowds.

Unless someone wants to notify me when it's over.


[ OOC: Fourth wall! Anyone and everyone is welcome to run into him wherever. ]

This again? ( Alexiel is standing on the roof of a building, peering down at the masses. Her sword is drawn, but she is holding it at her side. ) How can we be sure this isn't a trick? Familiar faces don't seem quite as familiar in this environment.

( Someone is feeling a little bitter. ) I'm not taking any chances and neither should you.

( She shuts off the video. Oh Alexiel, you are so open and welcoming! People might get the wrong idea. )

( OOC: Open to 4th Wall. No duplicates, please. )

[The camera flickers on to show Rose seated at a cafe with a cuppa and a book as she observes the people walking around.]

Loads of people up and about today. Sort of strange, yeah?

[ooc: 4th wall her at your pleasure. No restrictions.]

[ the noise was deafening, the streets were crowded and it had taken Liam a full fifteen minutes to get his extra tall double espresso with whip cream and he was not pleased. He liked his routine.

Of course, what displeased him the most was that not five yards out from the coffee shop, he ended up with hot coffee dumped all over his clothes thanks to a careless bump. You damn, idiot!. But he kept his cool (only because the guy who bumped him had already faded into the crowd) and stepped back into line after removing his jacket to hide the worst of the stains.

It's a shame though, he liked that jacket.

But since he had another fifteen minutes to wait, he slipped out his phone and spoke into it, hoping that in the cacophony of everyone else, his own voice might be heard. ]

These weekends are always painful. I don't suppose this was actually worth my while, is it? I am Liam Lunettes. If you know me, contact me. [ and now he must go back to waiting. ]

((ooc: feel free to hit him up with action before, during, or after the accident too!))

 I don't quite understand why people have this condition to go on talking to strangers out of the blue. Not everybody's gonna be an upstanding and friendly sonovabitch. 

All I gotta say is watch it. That's not a threat just facts. And stop by the joint with 24 hour pancake joint. You'll know it when you see it.

[ video ]

Mad as it is, I've always been fond of these weekends.

[Ginny smiles, looking up from the very full plate of breakfast that her mother's pulled together. Sausages, eggs, tomatoes, toast, everything. It's the most she's had to eat in days considering how anxious she's been, but she can't say no to Molly Weasley, can she?]

And not just because Mum's around to cook for us. I suppose you learn to appreciate them when you've been here for a bit, since it's not just running into friends from home but friends you've met here, too. So if we know each other and you're wandering around, come say hello, won't you? I'll be rather cross if you don't.

[Mike is looking as cunning as he ever gets, which is not a lot, but. Take what you can get from a Johnson.]

Wow, it's really busy today, isn't it? Huge amount of people, coming in. I'm sure there are businesses around here that could use some extra staff, or, you know, maybe somebody full time. Because just incidentally, my brother is looking for a job. His name is Axl Johnson, and he has a lot of free time on his hands. Here's his number. [He posts his number to the bottom of the entry. He doesn't even bloody care if his brother gets a few weird phonecalls in the pursuit of getting him into the Real World.]

He's tall as, and he can take instruction [reasonably well, sometimes]. The best reference I can give being as we've been abducted into an alternate universe or something is myself. He's done building work with me before for his college apprenticeship, so he has experience in a working atmosphere, and he knows how to [sit on his arse and eat sandwiches] contribute. He'll be available starting today.

[Just. The smile in his icon, and then he shuts off the video.]


[ooc: Anyone allowed here for Fourth Wall, especially other gods.]

This is probably a dumb damn question that I'm gonna regret askin', but is there anyone here visitin' that knows me? And not just knows my face, y'know, since I know I got someone runnin' around here with the same damn face as me.

[A pause.]

If you're here and y'ain't tryin' to kill me, I guess y'can come talk to me. Otherwise, stay the fuck away.

[[OOC: But really everyone should probably go bug him. All canons welcome, and canon mates would be insane love]]

For those of you who show up and have no secured lodging with a friend or family member here, where do you end up staying?

[ From the clicking sound of doggy nails on the floor and the whining of you have the leash WHY ISNT IT ON ME RIGHT NOW YOU CRUEL CRUEL MAN, it would seem Yusuf is getting ready to take Pancake on a walk. There is a metallic click followed by a moment of silence. ]

Should anyone see Ariadne today, please ask her to stop by.

I usually warn people away from my cars.

Today I took it a bit further - I just locked the Garage.

Hello, visitors. I hope you had a nice day.


[ooc: have at it! Anything goes]

[Ken is, currently, at Xanadu, with the park-like atmosphere in the background. He seems fairly shy, looking away from the camera at intervals.]

If there is anyone out there I know [not that he's expecting it] we could meet anywhere you like. I'm currently at the Xanadu, though. For everyone else, welcome to the City. I'm sorry you're stuck here, but also hope you can enjoy your stay. Hopefully, it will be brief.

visitor time again, huh? Bring 'em on.

[Anything and anyone welcome. Threadjacking encouraged.]

Oh, are we in the middle of a visitor's weekend? That's nice.

...Don't suppose anyone's seen a redheaded woman in N7 armor?

[Anything goes. Threadjacking is fine.]

Been a while since anyone came by from home. Might be for the best... Hardly seems worth saying anything.

You need me, you know where to find me.


[ooc; anything save duplicate Frankies is good. Preferably don't tell him he doesn't exist, but he wouldn't believe you.]

Hey, guys.

[ From all the posts on the Network and the increasing number of people, it's clear that there's something going on, and Ventus hasn't forgotten his original goal - finding Terra and Aqua. ]

If you see a guy with brown, spiky hair, or a girl with blue hair, let me know. They've got these - [ lifting up his Wayfinder in one hand, Keyblade in the other. ] too. Tell 'em that Ventus's looking for them.

[ he pauses in realization. ] Oh, and uh. Terra, Aqua, if you see this - I'm over by the fountain. [ The blonde manages a smile, before the feed shuts off. ]

[ he avoided the last influx of random strangers, preferring to stay far away in case Uther showed up. Well... not if he actually did, but, you know. Family is family and Arthur's father was in a league all on his own.

But, he can't avoid them forever. ] If you recognize me, fear not. I am neither trapped in yonder box you're holding or some apparition intent on haunting you from the grave. I am alive and well.

If you head to the center of the City, I'll explain everything then.

[ and so he will. it's going to be a long trying day and playing hooky from work stationed near the fountain. It wouldn't be so bad if it weren't for the infernal racket brought on by the carousel. It's almost enough to turn a grown man mad. ]

((ooc: anything and everything goes. just beware this is early S2 Arthur so he won't recognize half of everyone!))

[video]
[Korra looks almost pathetically hopeful.]

I've heard there's a lot of new people this weekend. If anybody sees Bolin around, could you let me know?

[A small, shuddering breath]

Tenzin, Master Katara... if you're here...

[There's too much in her heart to get out into words.]

It'd be great to see you too.

It's that time again, huh? Okay. Here's some advice for the visitors.

[Roxas whips out a small notebook. He's ready for this, man. He knows the score.]

If you're hungry, or you just want ice cream, this is the best place for it.

[Insert directions to the shop HERE.]

If you wanna meet up with anyone you know who's already in the City, the fountain's a good landmark [that is HERE.]

And, if there's anyone who knows me...well, I'm here. [Have some COORDINATES.] Just in case.

And this is totally the place where claws came out from the ground and tried to drag me to my death. [ Stiles is in full on tour guide mode because Scott showed up at his window yesterday and they are the bromantic romeo and romeo. It's sweet, totally. ]

And down here is where the Circus started stealing people.

( ooc: So throw anyone at him. No Stiles-twins pls unless they are super au, but canon mates, come here, come to Stiles. Scott (wolfteen) may be making a spamming appearance too because that's how they roll, yo. )

Aaaaaand you're all back.

In a never-before-seen act, I will predict the future: tomorrow, I shall be in a sour mood. But don't worry, I'll endeavour not to show it.

All right, then! You know how these weekends go by now - give a greeting and receive one in return. We'll see from there.

Nick, I pre-emptively ask you not to soak up my carpet, thank you.

[ooc; I don't expect many canonmates but I will fall to my knees for any of them that might drop in. That said, everyone is welcome!]

You know, I've barely had a chance to begin catching up on what I've missed in the few weeks I was gone. Not that I expect otherwise; life in general doesn't typically slow down for anyone and, as with most things of that nature, that proves to be even more true in the City. Of course, it's not really a complaint, either - just a fact.

So. Here we are again. By now, I've run out of other ways to say it, so it seems best to keep it simple. Welcome to the City. Let someone know if you need anything; I know not all of you are here of your own volition, and just because you aren't trapped in as long-term a sense as the rest of us doesn't mean you're any less deserving of help, food, and somewhere warm you can go for however long your stay. If there isn't anyone you know here, I'd highly recommend going to the Welcome Center and asking for Penny. And, Penny? If you need a hand, don't hesitate to let me know. I'm off today.

And, as always, if you're inclined to say hello, feel free. I make it a general rule to refrain from biting.

Well... ever since pre-school, at least.


[ooc: Same as ever, basically anything goes but no duplicates of in-game House cast without permission, please! Wilson is from late S3 but has already been spoiled on some things via previous fourth walls. VERY BACKTAG FRIENDLY because life is still hectic here. ♥]

For those of you who visit-- would you stay if you could? Or are you as eager to go home as most of us who are stuck here?

If you came here by choice-- why? What is it that you stand to gain?

I'm always curious.


[ooc; please no duplicates of existing House cast without that player's permission; face-doubles / confusion / other hijinks always welcome. Try to avoid major spoilers please. Cameron is s3 forever. Backdating encouraged! <3]

[Action/Video]
[Heedless of the influx of visitors, a lone Chevalier can be found out wandering amongst the lush surroundings of some lush garden. His hand emerges from the pocket of the untied bathrobe that hangs about his form and he reaches out to distractedly touch a lone flower.]


[ooc: It hasn't been a kind few months for Solomon. A victim of a spell, loss of self and madness as well as Saya's departure has left him a bit of shell of the man he once was... but, at least he can finally be seen outside and away from the estate that's been his self-imposed tomb.]

Does anyone know if the pet store is open on Sundays? Or on these visitor weekends? I'm looking to buy a dog, you see.


[ooc: 4th wall time! bring him everyone, even doubles if only because I'd love to see someone else from this canon ]

I'm signing autographs and selling my album at the record store today. I don't really care if no one's hear of me or if you can't bring anything home or whatever. I don't really have anything better to do.

[ooc: open for anything, including action at the record store.]

I suppose it was only a matter of time before this curse came around again.

For as temporary as it is, I don't see why people would visit the City of all places.

[ooc; Anything goes for 4th wall! Also open to action if you want to run into him anywhere in the City]

I feel like I say the same thing every time this happens. I mean, I... I've probably even said that before.

So, anyone who's looking for me - if there is anyone - I'm here, if you want to say hello or anything. I don't mind. I... do sort of mind people I don't know grabbing me, or yelling at me, or calling me Ethan, especially since my name isn't Ethan.

But... saying hello is okay.


[ooc: Open to anything except duplicates, but please don't tell him he's fictional. Super ultra extra backtag friendly!]

The City opening up to visitors for a few days. How often does this sort of thing happen?

[ As much as he would love to see Bolin again (he's hoping!), it might be too hard to watch him leave a second time around. ]

I don't remember it happening last month at all.

....Is it over yet?

Are you still here?

....where are the attractive women?

[ooc; ANYTHING GOES.]
