Everybody's got viruses and anon posts and stuff and that's great BUT MY ARM'S STILL BROKE FROM THAT STUPID SKI TRIP

I'M BORED

I want to know about the different kinds of "worldhopping."

Do some of them work when others don't?


(( OoC: Her world is sealed off, for the safety of all not already there. ))

[And when the video starts up, there's Sasami hiding in what looks like a closet. She brings her finger up to her lips to hush people before she starts speaking in whispered tones.]

...I don't know how I got here, but I'm in someone else's house... and I think it's Nanoha-chan's. All I know is that I woke up near her bed, and had this red string tied around my finger. Didn't people say it was this community? I thought it did nice things, like that snow trip!

Oh, I hope she doesn't find me and get angry at me...!

[The video starts with Lilith is walking quietly through an empty church. She's in her usual colorful attire which looks out of place in a Catholic church. The singing starts as she nears the front. It is soft and peaceful as expected of Lilith.]

Crimson lights the sky, the bird still asleep
Like a dream it shines, from heaven's safe keep

[She stops singing until she reaches the front and kneels in prayers. Lilith only pauses to retrieve an old photo from a pouch. Yes, that background sure looks a lot like a desert or Mars. Lilith runs her fingers over it affectionately before continuing the song. She's caught up in whatever memories the photo evokes.]

Children's songs we sung, as soft as the breeze
Endless fields, our home, I long for those days

[She stops to bow her head and focus on prayer. The community isn't about to let her stop there so enjoy Lilith singing about it rather than doing it.]

I call out these prayers to the sky, heavy with thought, see your face
I carry these memories inside, thoughts of a soul colored by love
See me grow wings and fly high, passions will die down below

[Something darkens in Lilith's expression and her head lifts to examine the photo closely once more. This time whatever memories it brings up are clearly painful. She takes her time singing out every verse with great care.]

I burn in a basin of fire, watchers look on as they dance in their merciless sky
Watching me, watching you

Silent black, the dawn, and time tells its tale
Darkened blood, it flows, the forest receives
Look within the dark as deep as you dare
There inside you find destruction you seek

[She tries to rally against it and returns to the chorus with hope.]

I call out these prayers to the sky, heavy with thought, see your face
I carry these memories inside, thoughts of a soul colored by love
See me grow wings and fly high, passions will die down below
I burn in a basin of fire, watchers look on as they dance in their merciless sky
Watching me, watching you, watching me.

[Lilith shakes her head and goes to stand. She isn't going to find solace here today. The feed cuts.]

We have lost a great deal as of late. I know I cannot be alone in noticing the alarming number of members and non-members deaths being recorded on the community. While death is an inevitability for all living creatures it is not something to be taken lightly. There is rarely a loss of life that does not touch us in some way. It is for those reasons I believe it is time we begin to consider creating a place to be able to reflect on what has happened.

For those who do not know me, I am Lilith Sahl. I would like to know if anyone would be interested in forming a support group. You need not worry about facilities. I am privileged enough to have some standing within the Vatican. It is feasible for me to have a place set aside where we can meet to discuss what is troubling us. I only need to know if this is something that could benefit us as a whole.

Please take some time to think about it. For anyone who find themselves uncomfortable in a crowd, I would be happy to make other arrangements. [She smiles playfully to lighten the mood.] The Vatican has no shortage of peaceful places to sit in silence.

[Guess who is finally showing herself again now that the situation with Cross is resolved. This lovely Indian lady. She seems to be back to her good spirits as she smiles for the camera.]

I see that some of us are displeased with the fact our respective holidays were not acknowledged by the community. While it may not be my place to say so I consider it a blessing. I believe we are better suited to share our celebrations with our fellow community members than the actual community itself. For now on let us not wait for the community to act. Let us take the initiative ourselves and if the community chooses to join us then better for it.

I believe we will all be happier for it.


[ooc; Lilith will not be playing but, feel free to do so with her. She won't take advantage once she figures out what is going on.]

[Lilith looks exhausted. There's blood on her clothing and her hair is falling freely.] There was an incident tonight. [A long pause. She's thought about how to phrase this but, now that she must... it's understandably difficult.]

Cross was shot by a being from his world while visiting here. I will be caring for him until he makes a full recovery in the Vatican. I do not know how long it will take but, rest assured I will not stop. He will get better. 

[She's shutting off the feed. That's enough from her.]

[The video is simple and brief. Lilith is watching over a coffin containing none other than Abel Nightroad. Her gaze is intense. She's waiting for something, anything, and she gets it. He stirs and glances up at her. Lilith smiles softly.]

Good morning, Sleepy Head. 

Father Abel Nightroad will not be returning to the community in the foreseeable future. [Lilith's voice is surprisingly even and soft.]  He's gone.

The funeral will be [insert day and time here] with the wake following shortly afterward.

I wish you all a pleasant day. [The feed ends here. No details. It's questionable how much Lilith will reply to this.]

Love. Family. Friendship.

Most of us who have lived on Earth in all of its various incarnations know the saying about love and loss. I imagine all of us have experienced it in one form or another. A lost lover, friend, sibling, or perhaps a parent....

The memories of what we have loved and lost are always with us. We who remember must carry that with us as both a blessing and burden. That is the way life works.

I have no questions to ask. I only wanted to share that with the rest of you. If you would like to discuss something you have loved and lost though I wouldn't mind. I promised to council the members here and I intend to keep my word.

[The voice of a young girl who sounds suspiciously like Lilith is coming to the community. She sounds a little anxious.]

I woke up yesterday and the world was completely different. When I started to look into it... what I found.... 

Will I remember this later?  This world.... [Countries are missing. Cain and Seth are not here. It seemed even more broken than the one she left.] .... if I could remember it later it would be very helpful to everyone I left behind. 

[The video starts with Lilith is taking her hair out of a messy bun. She dressed in a white lab coat going over a belly shirt and long skirt. She shrugs off the coat and turns to the camera. Lilith appears tired but, satisfied.]

It's been a long day but, I can't help noticing my phone beeping so often. I can only assume a virus has struck by the flow of posts. As promised I will offer my support to anyone negatively effected by this. Don't be afraid to step forward. I will personally write a code to be sure our conversation stays private.

[At first all you get is Abel grabbing at his throat, clearly choking. A flash of red (hair) enters the feed and it cuts out.

A few minutes later, it resumes again to a smiling Lilith. She is normally a happy woman but, this is different. Lilith is practically glowing with joy.]

Abel has asked me to marry him... [She brings her hand to the camera. A nice, modest diamond ring is on it.] and I have accepted. We have no set date yet but, you have my word you will be invited to share our happiness when the day comes.

[Private to Brother Petros]

It's my sincere hope you will be a part of this. Perhaps even preside over it? I could settle with being given away.

[Lilith smiles at the camera. For the people who visited her this week, it's clear she is back to normal again. If you didn't know any better, you'd say nothing ever happened at all.]

I may be in the minority but, I enjoy stories with happy endings. Would anyone like to share some that they know?


( private to Zuko, Sokka, Eris, and Chibiusa )

 [The video starts off in a hotel room. Lilith is mixing ink while addressing the camera.]

I trust all of us are enjoying are our vacation regardless of whether we expected it or not. For those of us in Disneyland, I'd like your advice. [Lilith holds up her palm to show a beautifully drawn butterfly on it.]

I am working on henna tattoos. Not for myself this time but, for my roommate. Are their any designs you favor? [Lilith smiles.] Of course if you'd like to see those designs on yourself, you're welcome to stop by our room. I'd be happy to do it for anyone. You can find us at [insert room number here]. Thank you for your time.

I will only say this once so I beg of you listening to this to pay attention. For those of you who do not know her well, Azula isn't a vampire. She is lying in order to protect another community member who is loosely considered to be one. Who that person is a matter of confidence and I ask you do not try to guess at it. 

I am only speaking up about this now to avoid her getting into trouble in the future in the world I reside in. Tensions between "vampires" and "humans" are high even if they are co-existing peacefully enough. This sort of thing could ruin her career here which is something I would hate to see because she is doing well. 

Thank you for your time.

[locked to Azula]

As much as I hate to limit you in any way I feel this is necessary. I'm forbidding you from claiming to be a vampire again. If anyone discovers the Crusnik and takes issue with it, you may defend me as you see fit.

With the new influx of members I can't help wondering something; how many of us are in the medical field? I am eager to speak to fellow doctors.

Perhaps we can learn something from each other, hm? 


[ooc; This Lilith's sneaky way of finding Azula a therapist since stalking the community for one isn't working out all that well.]
