[It's been over a month since she last even considered acknowledging the vine. She is still uneasy about it, but she is... resentful of fear. She has been forcing herself too much lately, perhaps it shows in the dark rings around her eyes, sleeplessly bruised into pale skin ( Read more... )

[Kuja is dressed in her usual garb, and the tail which was evident when she first arrived seems to have disappeared. She offers the Vine a bow. It is a bow without a particularly respectful air, more a dramatic gesture than anything else.]Now that I have been here for some few days, I've decided to make the attempt to discover whether there are ( Read more... )

( The post starts with a not-all-that-quiet laugh, like someone is trying to hold themselves back and really failing quite thoroughly. A moment later, the mirror reveals Jules and Gabrielle. The prior is leaning a bit gracelessly against the bar, chin propped up on her hand as she grins. She doesn’t seem to be paying attention to the mirror right ( Read more... )

[From the Vine comes an image of Kanaya standing in front of a crooked spire of a building. Shimmering, vividly colored clothes drape from it here or there, attached to the ground below, giving it an appearance not unlike a ship's mast, or an unfinished circus tent. But perhaps more curiously than the building, whether she realizes it or not, ( Read more... )

[An anonymous text pops up on the vine. The handwriting is neat and steady print, but some of the letters are drawn a little oddly.]Hello everyone. The queen brought us here to hook up, right? But seeing as there are only girls here, well, then that would obviously only work with lesbians. Therefore I am conducting an anonymous poll to try to ( Read more... )

[ A long time is spent accessing the vine by this new individual. She tries several times to write a message, resulting in nothing more than a few harsh scribbles before ink explodes over the scroll. Three times they flash across the Vine before she gives up and, finally, a video flickers to life. She looks to be in her early teens, grey-skinned ( Read more... )

[The mirror shows what should be a familiar sight by now--a young woman in a white arrival's dress. Except...this one has the wide slit-pupiled eyes and animate ears of...a cat. The gaze she examines the mirror with is intelligent and curious, and she sits back after a moment. Her face sets with determination, the voice issuing from her clear and ( Read more... )

[Earlier, in her quest to Become Multicultural, Kanaya took a chance on one of those mysterious little boxes being handed out, full of This Human Confection Called Chocolate. She has become rather bubbly and friendly as a result, and feels a Strong Love For Her Fellow Female. Must have been the Strawberry Cream, or perhaps the Passionfruit. She ( Read more... )

[A girl appears in the mirrors of the Vine. She is quite distinct to look upon, being gray, yellow-eyed, and with two orange horns poking through her impeccably stylish hair. When she speaks, it is with stunning eloquence and perfect enunciation, Which Could Be Signified Like This, but won't be for expediency.]How unusual. I seem to have ( Read more... )
