[ After taking quite some learning and adjusting to the phone, then having propped everything all up, Wei Wuxian, in his usual attire, settles on the floor in front of the camera. He's sitting back just far enough to show that there's two rabbits in his lap, and a black bamboo flute sitting at his side.

He gives a small wave to whoever is watching. Although he's certainly on the tentative side with all of this, and even more so heartbroken, as he misses his husband already, Wei Wuxian appears relaxed. ]

I only just found myself here within the past, ah- day or so, I think? There's been so much to learn! "Technology" is incredible~! So, what I'd like to know is: setting aside what information is given at the start, in your opinion, what's the most important thing I should know during my time here? It can be absolutely anything at all.

[ Pausing for a moment, he hums in thought. ]

—Ah, right. Supposedly I was here in the past? Aha. . . I'm, well- My memory is utterly awful, so even if I was, I have absolutely no recollection of it, so I apologize to anyone who used to know me.

Anyway. My name is Wei Wuxian. I look forward to meeting you all! ♥

+1 Absolutely Not A Mass Murderer

Hello all!

I've been here a little over a week now, but I realized I haven't introduced myself yet! My name is Cat, and I am bringing in one Cho Hakkai from the old 2000s anime series, Saiyuki!

Hakkai is a polite yet absent-minded young man with a love for learning, traveling, and keeping his three chaotic accomplices in check. He's sort of like the mom-figure in his band of weirdos, often responsible for the cooking, cleaning, and overall caretaking of the group. With him comes his young pet dragon, Jeep, who can transform into a World War II military jeep. (Yeah, the series is just like that)

Deep down, he is a fairly complex character, though, with one of those tragic, angsty backstories that led up to him accidentally acquiring a massive body count on his hands. It's full of trigger-warnings, though, so feel free to check out his content warnings and opt-out options in his info page to see if there's anything you wish to avoid. (Saiyuki, as a series, has a stupid amount of adult themes and topics.)

He is also hiding the fact that he is not human; specifically, he is a plant youkai. However, he is very self-conscious about it and won't bring it up unless it's forced out of him by others. Although, because of that, he does have natural powers, such as producing chi blasts DBZ-style, creating energy barriers, and healing others with his energy. However, overall, he is a very kind and polite man, as long as people stay on his good side. He is always trying to make himself useful, despite being a self-conscious introvert.

As for myself, I am a recent West Coast transplant to the East Coast, currently trying to settle down and get my life back together after such a significant change. I've been swamped these days, but after a full year out of the DWRP scene, I've super missed it and am so happy to get back in! I mostly love to spend my time hyperfixating on old anime and video games, although I have also become a junkie for Chinese Donghua. Other than that, you will often see me spending time sharing pictures of my dog or discussing my job as a manager at a fragrance shop.

You can usually reach out to me on my Plurk at

chohakkaifan or occasionally, although not as often, on Discord with the same username. (Hakkai was my first RP muse, so everything is centered around him, although my muse list is pretty varied lol)

It's a pleasure to meet you all, and I look forward to all the fun antics I can throw this man in!

AU EVENT

Intent matters in magic. That's what Reiner has learned during his time in Ellipsa. Intent matters, and so he investigates the Weird Mirror Tree with a specific intent. He's trying to find a certain possibility. Trying to see if his dreams are reflected in one of the mirrors.

But sometimes, intent isn't enough. Sometimes, mistakes are made.

Sometimes, things just go wrong.

new player/character

Hello, all! Just posting a mini intro for the sake of it-

I'm Alsie, and I've brought in Wei Wuxian, from the novel Mo Dao Zu Shi! He's a former(?) cultivator and necromancer who fell from grace and died before his soul was ritualistically summoned back to life. (But that's the boring part). He's a pretty easy going guy, albeit a total gremlin. He has an impossibly high tolerance and love for spicy foods and alcohol, is fond of rabbits (he's coming in with two!), and also a musician.

He also has a debilitating, crippling fear of dogs; doesn't matter how small or docile. Plz do have fun with that- I welcome it!

Anyway. He's also from ancient China, so while he'll be quick to catch on, the whole Technology Thing will throw him quite a lot. Feel free to check out his info here!

ALSO: I actually played him here before, but it's been a couple of years. To anyone who might still be around from then, feel free to recognize him. I look forward to playing with everyone! ♥

UN: intergalactic Baseballer 🌠 video

[ Today, everyone is getting a video feed of Stelle's house, but most importantly, it looks to be a room that looks like a child's playroom and in the middle of it all, everyone will see the star of the show, a small creature that looks to be a dinosaur, just trotting around like an excited little puppy: ]

Alright, Dromy, now just wave to the camera, everyone in Ellipsa can see you! Although I'm not so sure they can understand you.

[ Everyone can hear the dromas preen a bit as it walks towards the camera, tilting their head curiously before Stelle calls out: ]

Back up a little!

[ Okay, wait, she should properly say something-- ]

Anyway, hi, Ellipsa, I hope you're having a great start to your month. And if you're not, well, now you've seen my cute little baby that I've gotten back, Dromy! Isn't he cute? He's also real smart, too! If anybody has any pets or Pokemon who want to have a little playdate with him, I'm sure he'd love to meet all of them, so let's set something up!

[And the video feed starts up to show Ruby up close, a huge smile on her face.]

Hey, everyone! I just wanna take some time out to mention something important:

[And she hops back to show off a crude banner in her home’s kitchen]

IT’S MY BIRTHDAY!

Woo! Yeah, this will be my… [She counts on her fingers] …twenty first?! Wow, I’m old.

But, you don’t need to get me anything! I just wanted to say this since everyone’s more focused on Halloween! And I’m sure people would get angry if I hijack it.

... seriously, that's my username?

[She kind of gets it, but also wow. Wow. But anyway, not the purpose of this audio recording!]

Okay so I have two questions for you all.

One, the whole point of here is to help out by touching, yeah? I guess my question is, do you all have like certain people you go to do that with or what?

[She then makes a few popping sounds with her mouth before continuing.]

Two, just uh. How many people here aren't human? If you feel comfortable sharing that fact of course! If it helps, I'm not human although I look it.

[Then an awkward silence or two before...]

Oh right, I should probably introduce myself? I'm Jessenia Garcia, but I'll answer to Jess.

[This message has been weighing on Yuuto's mind for weeks. He's so anxious about it, trembling fingers rewriting it over and over, that he's forgotten to doublecheck that it is anonymous.

Still, that was his intention. And thinking that this is an anonymous request for help has helped him to be more honest about needing it than he would be normally.]

Does anyone know how to fix a timeloop?

I was stuck in one back home and I haven't been able to relax since I got here. It doesn't seem fair that I get to be happy when I've failed to save people so many times. I want that feeling to go away, but I'm not sure if I'm allowed for it to?

But I remember some other people here have gone through this people... How did you figure it out?

I apologize for being anonymous, [ he is not ] But I think I'm scared of having people know who I am.

Hello, my name is Arven. I'm here to announce the opening of my Pokémon Daycare, which is located on the border of Frostreign and Coldreach. It's a place for anyone to leave their Pokémon while they go out into the Segments. Of course, some people prefer bringing their Pokémon with them and there's nothing wrong with that; but some people might prefer to have a place for their Pokémon to relax in without worrying about them.

[He turns the camera to show his Pokémon team.]

Me and my trusty partners will take very good care of your Pokémon.

[Then he shows the greenhouse on the other side of him.]

Here I'm growing various kind of berries that can be harvested for free. They're excellent for Pokémon food. Some of them even cure status effects. All I ask is that you grow new ones in the place of the ones you pick.

[And most importantly.]

Running a daycare does come with a certain risk. If a Pokémon is compatible with another Pokémon in the same place they might end up breeding and making a Pokémon Egg. I'll do my best to avoid that, unless you want your Pokémon to... well... have babies. If there are "accidents" despite my carefullness, you can opt to leave the eggs in my care.

Also Ditto can breed with anything.

[Just as a warning.]

Anyway, feel free to come around and see the place. I do also accept employees who might want to take care of Pokémon with me.

[ The feed opens on one of your newest neighbors, a... small Cookie woman. With wings. Because why not at this point?

Anyway, she's lounging on a cushion, the device propped up as a little Cheesebird is fanning her with an actual leaf. ]

Greetings, one and all. Your rulers made a wise choice bringing me here... [ she glances away with an annoyed expression, muttering 'despite the extremely poor timing' under her breath. Clearing her throat - the Cheesebird promptly drops the leaf and scrambles to fetch a thimble of juice for their lady. ]

A-hem. I was given the spiel and all that, but I've always found it is best to ask the common people their thoughts. So, I'm here to ask all of you - what do you wish someone had told you on your first day?

[ She then clapclaps! And the Cheesebird immediately circles around the woman and begins lightly patting her shoulders. Is that supposed to be a massage? ]

... Ah, yes, I do need to introduce myself, don't I? My apologies, I'm used to being quite well-known... heh. Very well - I am Golden Cheese Cookie. The pleasure is all mine, and I look forward to hearing from you.

Database maintenance

Good morning, afternoon, and evening!

We're doing some database and other light server maintenance this weekend (upgrading the version of MySQL we use in particular, but also probably doing some CDN work.)

I expect all of this to be pretty invisible except for some small "couple of minute" blips as we switch between machines, but there's a chance you will notice something untoward. I'll keep an eye on comments as per usual.

Ta for now!
