[The video clicks on to show Ulrich in what looks like some kind of abandoned warehouse. Wherever it is, the limited light shining in suggests it is near sundown. Ulrich is sitting opposite a small ball of feathers and fur that is apparently his young pet catowl. His tone is obligingly cheerful, which doesn't seem to match the frustrated expression on his face.]]

"Okay, Scops-y, I'll make this really easy for you."

[*He extends an arm, over which he's wearing a gardening glove, in front of the cat-owl, making a perch and gesturing him onto it.*]

"Scops, here."

[*The cat-like bird gives an excited chitter and flaps its wings but doesn't hop onto his arm. Ulrich grits his teeth as if this is 20th try but tries again, tone still that same level of cheerful.*]

"...Come on, Scops-y. I know you can do this. Here."

[*More chittering and flapping from the cat-owl but no success otherwise. Ulrich's face contorts irritably but his tone doesn't change.*]

"No, you st-...silly fluffball. Come here."

[*Scops gives a hoot-like meow, flapping his wings with gusto and succeeding in lifting himself...right off his paws. He falls over backwards with a squeak. Ulrich facepalms, sighing through his nose and the video cuts out.*]

[[OOC: Late virus post is late because I was at the shore all Saturday. <.< >.> He's not entirely aware that he's virused yet, but he is definitely confused as to why he can't express his irritation properly. Scops is the CatOwl he adopted from Azula...which he has no idea how to train. XD Note to Odd-mun: Feel free to have Odd notice that that is indeed the Factory he's in at the moment. All replies will be video for now; Tags later today after some sleep. XD ]]

A lot of my friends and family have disappeared forever over the years. So... I need to make new friends.

That means you - yes, you - need to fill out this survery.

Ok, now we can mingle!

An inquiry if you all would assist me: my bedroom currently smells like an old man, granted the one was occupying the room now has a lovely view of the inside of the house. How do I get rid of the smell? It's a mixture of musk and over masculinity as if to compensate for something.

Oh, Wright, Marquise and Trinity? If the both of you repeat that you displayed during the virus, I would be less than polite the second time around. Is that understood?

[Its Tyki, not Zechs. >D enjoy the confusion.]

... now that the stupid virus has worn off and everyone is back to normal, I guess I should point out that Aoko's birthday is tomorrow. She'd like it if people came to visit her for it, I think.

Though even if you don't drop by, you should at least make sure to wish her a happy birthday, right~?

Haha wow, the community has really grown lately! Gosh, I kinda feel like I've missed a lot, bein' busy with the kingdom lately and all. I'd like to give a big welcome to all the people that's joined lately! I'm Mickey Mouse, and it's good to meet all of you~


((OOC: So guess who's in dire need of activity? 8F;; Care to give him a hand? Reminding people fourthwalling him as Mickey Mouse is more than okay (in fact he's kinda used to it now xDD ), fourthwalling him as the king is not. Tagbacks will be taken care of after I get home from work today, as will some.. outstanding tags I have on other journals XD; ))

Aniki! Aniki! I saw you were blogging without telling me so I made one as well! We match, you see?

I'm Korea but you can all just call me aniki! Oh yeah, and nobody is allowed to touch aniki's breasts because they belong to me! The sounds his body makes when he's touched is for me to know only! That means you, Japan! No touching aniki! About that, I heard you were bullying aniki. Now that I'm here, you're not allowed to do that anymore! This goes for anybody: if Japan bullies you, let me know!

Drama Drama Duck, huh? I didn't think aniki was into gossip communities... Well, I have some gossip! Listen to this: the other day, I caught Japan drooling! You didn't think he drooled, right? Wrong! Eat that, Japan! Now everybody knows!

[Poll #1460686]

I have a point to prove. Make this , everybody!

[Poll #1460698]

Gregory, Gabriel,

Now that I have had some time alone to think on the events of the virus, I still very much consider you both like families. The memories we thought were real may have been lies, but my feelings for you are very real. I know it might be hard for you to believe this, but I still think of you as the brothers I've never had. I do not want to ask too much of you, but I'd like to continue our friendship if that is at all possible.

I hope that it is.

And thank you for everyone's concern. I'm feeling a bit better now.

[ooc: Also, Giselle sent both House and Sylar a homemade lunch, with whatever their favorite foods might be. I don't know what that might be, but Giselle remembers. They came with a note, something along the lines of 'Have a wonderful day! Stay healthy!']

Figures that when Master sends me on the computer to look up information on local tournaments, this pops up. I thought maybe some whacked-out school used ducks for their mascots, but apparently, this is just some gossipy chat room of sorts.

Since I can't get off of this damn site, I might as well stay here. Maybe I'll get some decent partners out of the mess, and if not - hell, man, DUCKS.

Name's Hwoarang.

So, what's up, ducks?

Everybody was so nice lately, that was good to see.

I have a question, I know that not everybody has nations like us in their worlds; if the place where you live was an anthropomorphic personification how it will look like? And what it will be a girl or a boy?

I don’t know why most of my people seems to think I‘m female. I do not look like a woman, do I?

I talked with señora Ursa about it once, I think that the Fire nation will be a pretty dark haired woman. Or Maybe a red head.

And fire lord Azula, thanks you so much for the puppy. I named him Spark.

Do you think someone could be unknowingly favored over someone else and still be friends with that other person?

((Reference.))

If you value your lives, the lives of your loved ones, the life of your world, you will not mention any involvement you may have had with the arrancar of this community, Muguruma Kensei, Kurosaki Ichigo, or myself.

Consider this the only warning you will get. Aizen Sousuke is a serious threat, and not to be taken lightly. Do not be fooled by his words. Do not trust him.



((Setine? I know Byakuya's talked to Kensei before but uhhhh I have no idea what he'd know of the Vizard's banishment IF HE EVEN DOES so *sob* idk whether or not to lock this from Byabo, feel free to respond or not. And I may lag like whoa on tags, sorry!))

Regardless of the post below, consider this an official statement to those of the community: if you are caught siding with Aizen, you will be cut down regardless of affiliation.

I also refuse to be introduced through that traitor, now that my official mission has been made clear, you may learn my name. I am Kuchiki Byakuya, head of the noble Kuchiki clan and Captain of the Sixth Squad of the Gotei 13 within Soul Society. Usually our presence as Shinigami is meant to be kept a secret, however a representative is terrible at keeping secrets.

What kind of fool would make such a foolishly foolish community on a subject as foolhardy as ducks?

[The video is dark, but you can still make out what's on the screen easily. It shows Setsuna standing in a small, cramped space - a couple of broom and mop handles next to him suggest he's hiding in a broom cupboard somewhere.

His reason for hiding? He's dressed in a very bizarre outfit: he has on a large, loose shirt with hugely baggy sleeves which is only buttoned from his waist down, baring most of his chest. Over that is a grubby looking waistcoat. He has a dark blue bandana on his head and his face is smudged with dirt. Yes, Setsuna F. Seiei is currently dressed as a pirate.

To start with Setsuna is looking away from the screen, like he's listening out for something. Eventually he looks down, directly at the screen, and speaks quietly,]

I need suggestions for a decent hiding place, quick.

[[Result of this :> Feel free to question why he's dressed so weirdly~ ^^ ]]

[Open with a shot of Italy sprawled on the floor, a goofy grin on his face. Surrounding him are masses of wrappers, waxed paper, plastic bowls, and empty cups.]

San Gennaro finished yesterday. It was great...I ate so much...I had zeppole and pizza and gelato and cannoli and panini and tiramisu and clams and steak sandwiches with mozzarella and caprese salads and ravioli bowls and bruschetta and salami and prosciutto and biscotti and sausage with peppers, with chianti and grappa and amaretto and vino bianco e rosso and espresso and cappucino and and and...

[He drifts off for a moment, envisioning food.

Snaps back.] And LIMONCELLO!

Did everybody else have [hic] a good weekend?

((Can anyone tell that I'm hungry? xD))

Damn it Corinthian, do that again and the next time I will do something more than hit you with a book.

Holly shit, that was creepy.

And no, they're not fun, I don't want to know if you can eat with those things, I have enough knowing that you can talk. Your voice sounds raspy too.

[OOC: Elphie lives in the dreaming now, Cori thought that it was going to be a funny joke to talk to her with his eyes/mouth when she was in a really dark wing of the library. Elphaba didn't appreaciated the joke very much :P]

[The voice is young and polite-sounding. However, it is neither obviously male nor clearly female. It is a little high for a man's, and a little low for a woman's. Nevertheless, it sounds pleasing to the ear.]

Hello, DramaDramaDuck. I'm here to use this community to make friends and influence people.

[a long pause]

That was a joke. Jokes are good to break the ice, aren't they? My name is Regene Regetta. I am not particularly fond of ducks, but as I have never met one, I feel it would be unfair to say I dislike them.

I feel the process of making friends would go far smoother if you all answered some questions for me.

Number one, what is your name? You have mine now, so it is only fair for you to give me yours. Number two, your occupation? Three, some hobbies. Four, something of note about yourself. Five, would a black tie or a white one look best on a white shirt with a dark grey suit?
