Apr. 12th, 2026 12:26 pmroundandaround posting in ellipsanet[The video comes from Fine Arts House's kitchen, where all the windows are open despite the Solarpeak heat and a pile of dishes is drying in the sink. Rinku looks exhausted, far from her usual energy.]
So I kinda had a question. I didn't really used to cook a lot until I started looking after other people, so how do you find things to eat that everyone is gonna love? Especially if you have a bunch of people who like really different things.
I don't wanna make the kids unhappy, but sometimes I wanna make something spicy 'cause it reminds me of home. Like this one time Neechan was over and I tried my best to learn how to make tteokbokki like she had back where she's from, but it was so spicy Mecchan cried and Mary-chan got in a panic 'cause "food shouldn't hurt." Also Frills-kun is kinda grumpy but he only really likes when I put out fruits and nuts, and sometimes when I introduce a new food, Mimi-chan runs and hides until someone else has eaten some...
And, uh... anyone want some blood soup? Hina-chan was really excited and she just loved it, but everyone else thought it was super gross and we had to give up eating ours and order in. Now the kitchen smells really bad too...

The case of the missing notifications

dw_maintenanceI keep forgetting to post about this: we've been troubleshooting the "missing notifications" problem for the past few days. (Well, I say "we", really I mean Mark and Robby; I'm just the amanuensis.) It's been one of those annoying loops of "find a logical explanation for what could be causing the problem, fix that thing, observe that the problem gets better for some people but doesn't go away completely, go back to step one and start again", sigh.
Mark is hauling out the heavy debugging ordinance to try to find the root cause. Once he's done building all the extra logging tools he needs, he'll comment to this entry. After he does, if you find a comment that should have gone to your inbox and sent an email notification but didn't, leave him a link to the comment that should have sent the notification, as long as the comment itself was made after Mark says he's collecting them. (I'd wait and post this after he gets the debug code in but I need to go to sleep and he's not sure how long it will take!)
We're sorry about the hassle! Irregular/sporadic issues like this are really hard to troubleshoot because it's impossible to know if they're fixed or if they're just not happening while you're looking. With luck, this will give us enough information to figure out the root cause for real this time.

Apr. 11th, 2026 07:40 pminexorablejudgment posting in ellipsanetI overheard an interesting conversation while at a coffee shop in Amberfall this afternoon.
[Interesting enough that it seems he wants to bring it to everyone's attention.]
Two customers debating over whether or not water has a 'taste'.
[And what a funny thing to have a debate over to begin with.]
And I found myself curious as to which side most people would fall on in such an argument... as well as if anyone else here experiences water in the same way that I do. [Now, that's the real point of this.] As something that carries memory, the experience and emotion of everything it has passed through. The water from each region of this world is entirely unique to me in more ways than its flavour profile.
[A brief pause.]
Such an... ability is unusual in my home world. I have never thought to ask if others here have it.

Apr. 11th, 2026 04:59 pmkilled_the_radio_star posting in ellipsanetThe video feed is, strangely, of a television set. One with large cyan on red eyes and a wide smile showing on it's screen. It has antennae sprouting from the top of it and... wait... is that shoulders? A neck? The TV's smile widens, showing rows of sharp teeth. The figure leans back in his chair, spreading his arms wide for a moment as he does.
"Hello, Ellipsa!" Bright and cheerful, his tone is friendly and warm. "I figured it was a good time to introduce myself and start getting the word out there~"
He straightens forward again, folding his hands on the desk, neatly.
"My name is Vox and I'm the founder and CEO of Voxtek, the most trusted and influential name in entertainment and technology! At least, back where I come from it is, of course. I've been informed that I was brought here to help out with the Darkness plaguing this world and, while that's a noble cause and all, I also come with a set of talents that could be used for so much more!"
He brings his hands up, steepling his clawed fingers together.
"First and foremost, I am a journalist and entertainer. I'm planning to start not only a regular news and information broadcast service, I would also like to begin creating new and exciting television and streaming shows! We may all be here to help save the world but why shouldn't we also be entertained and dazzled at the same time?"
He gestures at the screen with his held together hands.
"That's where you all come in! I'm looking for talent! Theater. Music. Arts. Film. But also things such as technology and computer science! The people of Ellipsa deserve the very best of tech not only to take on their dangerous missions but also for their downtime! I'm looking for inventors and creators. People who want to make waves in the world of technology. Together, we can bring Ellipsa a brighter future in more ways than simply fighting this Darkness!"
He smiles, charmingly, bringing a hand to his chest.
"I built a company that brought joy and information to the hopeless masses once. Here, I have the opportunity to do something similar. I hope you all will join me and get in on the ground level of the new Voxtek~"

Xingchen is usually prompt in speaking to his communicator, but not this time. His eyes are wide, darting from the right to the left and then up as if he sees something others cannot.]
I...don't remember...
Where did you come from?

St-Stop! I'm...cold.

Hello everyone! It's coming up to the time of year we usually hold the Arts Festival, and unfortunately poor Ren is unable to put everything together at the moment. So! I have been collaborating with Rinku, Lisia, and Tsumugi to make sure we're able to bring the festival to you as usual this year.
[She claps her hands together.]
Now, we obviously can't do this all by ourselves, so we will be looking for assistants and, of course, participants! Artists, crafters, potion-makers, photographers, everyone is welcome at the artists' market. We will also have a stage set up for performing arts, a talent show, and dance. There will be food stalls, and plenty of games to play.
[And the Arts Festival wouldn't be complete without its usual tournament bouts.]
Naturally we will also be hosting the combat tournaments. They are a little different this year so make sure you read the entry conditions carefully before signing up. Lisia is also organising a Pokémon contest!
[Smile~]
If you have any questions at all, I'm sure myself, Rinku, Lisia or Tsumugi will be happy to answer them. Hope to see you there!

Arts Festival Plotting Post
Apr. 2nd, 2026 06:14 pmroundandaround posting in seasonsooc(that's 2026 for us players)
The Arts Festival is an annual tradition founded in Amberfall but currently held in the Titanic Dome on the last weekend in April (so the 24th-26th this year). It celebrates art of all kinds, with an artists' market that allows the sale of everything from paintings to potions to handmade weapons and armour, a stage for performing arts, a dance floor, and a talent show. But there are other elements to the festival too, like the popular fighting tournaments, some non-combat tournaments, and plenty of food stalls and festival games.
This year's Arts Festival is a team effort, being put together by Guizhong
godofdust, the Music Club headed by Rinku roundandaround, the Pokémon Fan Club headed by Lisia contestidol, actors and tech crew assembled by Tsumugi tsumtsuki, and assorted volunteers! This is an OOC plotting post for its various events and things you may want your characters to do for it.All of the tournaments have a base reward of:
3rd Place: 200 moon coins
2nd Place: 500 moon coins
1st place: 2000 moon coins & a mystery gift
Signups for all the tournaments ends Thursday, April 23, 23:59 Pacific Daylight Time. The results will be RNGed and be revealed on an OOC post once the festival log goes up.

Mar. 31st, 2026 09:10 amnoodleboi posting in ellipsanetThe Dealer's Den will be closing for the month of April. We're doing some big renovations soon and it will take the whole month for us to pull off.
Now this isn't just a courtesy message letting you know. Because we got a lot of food and drinks to get through since we don't want any of it to go to waste.
You know what that means~
50% off all food menu items! 75% off all drinks, including top shelf! We're going to be open tonight until we sell out of everything.
Come on down for a great nice with fantastic food, amazing drinks, fun games, and a farewell celebration to the Den as it is now before it reopens in its future final form!
I hope to see you all there! Regulars, first timers, and everyone in between welcome!
