Who: Lloyd Irving and anyone
Where: Island beach
When: Morning
Style: Either
Status: Open

[There aren't very many good places in Vatheon to get away from everyone. Not that Lloyd is trying to avoid anyone, but it's usually a good idea to go someplace out of the way when training with new mana techniques - and that's exactly what he's doing today. He'd found a good stretch of beach that was, for the moment, unoccupied - probably because of the chill in the morning air discouraging casual beachgoers. There might be more people in the afternoon, but he'd no doubt have called it quits long before then.

So, while he still has the beach to himself, time to get to work! Drawing both his swords, the teen in red runs through a basic warm-up before settling into a familiar routine. Without calling on his own inner mana, he goes through the motions of the techs he thinks are closest to what he's trying to achieve. Demon Fang, Tempest, Beast, they all involve molding mana around his blades. If he can just keep it there, instead of unleashing it...

Anyone passing by this particular stretch of beach will either see a teenage swordsman hard at work training himself - or they'll pass by just in time to get blasted by mana and sand from one of Lloyd's failed technique attempts.]

Who: Ratchet, Everyone else
Where: All over Vatheon
When: All day.
Style: Either
Status: Open

( He's a vampire! Bleh! Bleh! )

((OOC: So Ratchet is not an energy vampire from Yami no Matsuei. He can absorb energy from other people through touch or other physical interaction. He will feel better and they will feel worse. As the week goes on his hunger for energy will become more of a need and he won't be able to control himself. Fun right? As it's the first day, he's just tired and it will mostly be happening on accident. If your character and Ratchet touch, they can expect a sudden feeling of dizziness and some nausea.))

Sure, he had figured that SOMETHING was due to happen. It was just that kind of feeling he had in his gut. Besides, all the speculation everyone was having on the network made sense. Things only seemed calm in Vatheon; behind the scenes, he knew things were brewing.

It's just... Who the heck expects to wake up as a bug?

A very... very... large bug. And initially, it had been kind of cool although embarrassing how clumsy he was. But then... it was quiet. Just, there was too much silence. The noise didn't help. It was just, stupid, useless noise. He tried to get over it, even threw out a message or two to people.

But it was just too much. Fairly quickly, Lea started to realize the signs. Hell, the last time this place had changed him into something else like this, it had taught him a lesson. Obviously he couldn't stay around the Nest or with his chocobos or Arden, or else he would do something he'd regret.

And that, dear Vatheon, is how you have a giant bug in the plaza, trying to scurry away only to stop now and then, twitching madly. At one point, he even leaps at a couple's table- not for the couple, but for a radio playing music which he desperately clings to awkwardly with his weird... tiny... bug hand things.

This is so not going to be his week.

[ooc: For the curious, Lea is now one of the Rachni from Mass Effect! Specifically one of the soldiers. They don't do well individually. Hivemind and all. For a size reference, check here.]

Where: the Hoofbeastfeathers hive
Who: Equius, Gamzee, and DadDarkleer

( It was a dark and stormy event... )

Who: Bulma and Vegeta
Where: Bulma's house
When: Shortly after curse 30 happened!
Style: Is it ever anything but brackets? NOPE
Status: Closed

[Not ten minutes after leaving Bulma that last message, Vegeta flies to her house with a large bag of mostly-cooked meat. Sating her hunger will have to come before any explanations. After all, she's spent her life as a human. A Saiyan's hunger is likely to impair her mind significantly. Unable to hide the smirk on his face, Vegeta knocks.]
