Apr. 4th, 2026 04:42 pm( generally speaking when robin addresses - anyone else, he doesn't bother with anything other than text. audio can be efficient, but video is overkill.
in this case?
he's visibly sitting at a very nice kitchen counter, nicer than one would find in the apartments, with his boots resting up atop it. on his lap is an upside down helmet, and over the red tunic that's customary for robin is a leather jacket that is obviously several sizes too big for him. not that he seems bothered. quite the opposite: robin looks all too pleased with himself. and while the hand slung around the helmet is wrapped in a green ulnar gutter splint that blends in well with his gloves, the other? is holding onto a handgun with a spoon duct taped to the barrel.
which he is using to eat cereal out of the (plastic lined, with an actual bowl inside of it) hood.
like this is a completely ordinary way to eat cereal and a completely normal way to choose to post to etraya's network. )
There are a significant amount of individuals present who have metahuman abilities, yes? By that I mean anything more than what an average, ordinary human being could accomplish. While I am sure this functions well for you on a daily basis - the missions Aurora assigns to us can cause. . . hiccups in these abilities. Given the pattern that has been established by previous missions, I would estimate that the upcoming one may be more physically and mentally taxing. Often times, these missions do cause abilities to fluctuate and I can't imagine that would be good for anyone who is more accustomed to healing instantaneously or tolerating getting hit by moving busses as if it's nothing.
( a wave of the gun-spoon, before damian shoves it back into the bowl for another bite of cap'n crunch cereal. because it's delicious. )
My point being - regardless of one's starting point, being prepared for anything that may come is essential to not dying here. If you are a metahuman who is accustomed to being able to handle more than others, I would recommend focusing on training yourself to be able to handle anything that may come your way, with or without those abilities. If you have no self-defense training at all, I would get on that.
( another bite, and - oops, is that milk on his face? don't mind him as he uses this very nice leather jacket to wipe it off. )
And if you need assistance, there are several capable individuals here who are used to going up against impossible odds without any metahuman talents who would be willing to help. Red Hood may be a decent starting point.

Apr. 3rd, 2026 06:30 pmHi. So. Sophie Cuckoo, owner of NYX, tall blonde girl with rainbow hair, telepath, etc.
I'm coming here to ask you guys for some, ugh, help. There are so many unexplored aspects about the world we currently live in, and a lot of unanswered questions we all have that aren't really going anywhere. I think it's about time we stopped being so fucking complacent and actively looked for them ourselves, because I'm so sick and tired of just waiting. It doesn't sit right with me.
So, I'm going to go on a little quest through a few places in this dump to see if I can actually find something, and that includes anywhere that fucking sucks, by the way, so I have that going on for me.
If you're new to this channel, know that telling me not to do shit I've decided to do has never worked, not even once in my life. You can't stop me, and that's final. What you can do is help me, and that's what I'm asking for. I need groups; it's a lot of ground to cover.
Do I know if it's going to pan out? No, I have no idea, so it might be bust, and then we went on this sidequest for no loot. Is it going to be dangerous? Probably.
So, at your own risk and responsibility, let me know.
P.S.: Needless to say, NYX is going to be closed till I'm back. When it's over, I'll call a meeting there for everyone to get with the news.
P.S.2: I'm going to be in diamond form for some of this. Don't take me personally, and if you're not sure if I am, seriously, just call or text me, because I can't hear you like that.

Apr. 2nd, 2026 07:59 pmSo...I've noticed Etraya has twelve months, and Eberron also has twelve months. Eberron's fourth month is in spring, and Etraya's fourth month is also in spring. So I'm going to just assume April is Eyre, which means...it's my birthday on the fifteenth!
I was wondering if anyone would like to do something for it? I was thinking drinking, wrestling, playing games, that sort of thing!
And there could be a roast! And pie!

Apr. 2nd, 2026 04:55 pmGreetings fellow Etrayans,
I write to you because I am in need of information or assistance. My horse has arrived, and as I live in the apartments, it is not suitable for her to live with me. What are the appropriate options for housing and caring for a horse here in Etraya?
I know the wild horses that arrived in February run free and are looked after, to some degree, by Aurora's assistants. However, provided access to the right resources, I am perfectly capable of caring for Kai myself and would like to do so.
Communications from people who know about this matter would be appreciated.

Mar. 13th, 2026 09:08 amHello, citizens of Etraya.
Our next mission will begin on Friday, March 20th. This mission will take place on Etraya, and will last roughly six weeks. As I am certain you may have noticed, there is some construction going on just outside of Etraya's border. My companion bots are working to renovate what had been the space the Labyrinth occupied a couple years prior. They are constructing a theme park, which will have four separate sections built upon different themes.
This mission will not require that you remain within the mission sphere for the entire duration. Rather, you are welcome to leave and return as you wish.
You will be given three tickets, with each ticket allowing access to a specific theme park. These tickets are free to use for the duration of the mission, and are not limited to specific days and times. Each ticket will also come with a note card, which provides five tasks you must complete within the theme park included on the ticket.
I have not yet introduced the concept of losing points, but this mission does require it in ways historical ones have not. Each note card you are given must be completed in it's entirety, otherwise you will lose twenty five points per note card not completed.
Because of this, it is imperative that you complete each note card in it's entirety.
If you have any questions, please reach out to me or my companion bots.
Thank you,
Aurora

Friendly duel, anyone?
The more challenging, the better. I want to struggle to stay on my feet.
Bonus points if you don't use a sword. Telepaths are welcome to show me what you've got as long as you know when the fight is won. I want to see where I can improve.

Welcome to our bi-monthly CHIRPER post!
There are a few ways to interact with CHIRPER:
- Characters receive a notification to please fill out the form, which is fully optional. There is a character requirement of two characters per answer field. This is to discourage leaving the spaces blank.
- When forms are not filled out, they can be filled out by the companion bots of Etraya, or by other characters on behalf of their friends! This includes the Q&A section.
- Characters can either like ✅ or dislike ❌ others' CHIRPER profiles. These responses are public.
- This is voluntary on an OOC basis; if the character doesn't have a profile completed by themselves or anyone else, nothing shows up for them on CHIRPER.
- For those who do post a top level, profiles are worth 5 extra points regardless of if they are put up willingly by the character themselves. These 5 extra points do apply to the 25 maximum per month.
What's a good intro? Welcome to Etraya? Has the despair set in yet? Anyway. For those who haven't met me, my name is Dr. Robert Romano, I'm the de facto Hospital Director here.
De facto means no one's told me I'm not.
Every so often I post to ask the network if there are any other medical professionals around because I'm one surgeon from a non-magical world, and you people drop in with fairy flus and growing tentacles diseases I can't damn well fix.
So, if you're a doctor or a healer, drop in. We'll have an interview, if you're not an obvious psychopath and get a pass on ethics I'll give you an office, we got 21st century Earth medical tech and a wing to treat magical maladies.
If you're in need of a doctor, also drop in, I'll be nicer to you than to the first group.
If you're neither, what are you even doing here? Get a job. Go bag some groceries, the bots keep squishing my bread :(

I have collected all the notes left by the individual Scylla after Mission 012 that I could find available and uploaded them to the shared data repository.¹
According to Ms. Won in her post here, there are 10 in total, meaning that one note remains missing. If you are in possession of this note, please contribute it to the data repository. These notes are the biggest credible lead on getting to the truth of things that I've seen in my time here; I cannot emphasize enough how imperative it is that you share the missing document.
There are two sides to these pages, one side being narrative journal entries and the other complex higher-order math. I have been working with Accelerator (un: accelerator) on deciphering what we can of the mathematics, and we have drawn the following conclusion with reasonable certainty:² this is a mathematical representation of the inevitable decline and resulting destruction of the fabric of reality. In other words, it demonstrates proof of Echo's claim that worlds are falling apart from natural causes.
Based on my own knowledge of 20th century Earth scientific discoveries, this is plausible. The universe is infinitely expanding and at an accelerating rate, and though we have a poor understanding of the eventual consequences of that, that is a measurable fact.³ It appears whoever took these notes was working through the implications on their own with far more advanced instrumentation available than what is familiar to either Accelerator or myself.
Reviewing the text of the pages leads me to several further conclusions:
(1) These were most likely written by Echo themselves as they came to the mathematical conclusion I just described.
(2) The author demonstrates sincere remorse and went to incredible lengths to attempt to resolve this problem, but it was beyond their capabilities. If these are written by Echo, then they have become some kind of god-like being in their pursuit of saving worlds, but that still was not enough.
(3) Ultimately, they placed their hopes in the idea that if they could buy time, someone else could find a solution, whether it be a mysterious blacked-out name referenced in the entries or someone from a different world entirely.
(4) It is possible that our task to prove the 'worth' of our worlds is being measured on this scale, that of how likely our societies are to be able to address this problem, making it a pragmatic determination and not one based on any inherent qualities of 'worthiness' otherwise.
(5) The time scale on which this is all taking place is likely literally astronomical.
Furthermore, reports of conversations had with Scylla indicates it is highly likely that Scylla personally knows Echo. He stated in one conversation that the math was intended for our receipt and would have been provided by Aurora, but the journal entries were not, and he deliberately intercepted them and ensured their distribution throughout Etraya. Scylla intimated to Ms. Won that the pages reveal something about what he and Aurora are cursed not to speak of. What that might be, I'm unsure.
Most importantly, Scylla provided verbal confirmation to Ms. Won that he also believed the worlds are unraveling. All of these facts combined, I think we must take that as true going forward.
Please share in the comments any other inferences you feel could be reasonably drawn, and we may discuss further.
¹This was posted about recently, but if you haven't seen it, there is now a data repository available for communal use. It is maintained by Sunday (un: sunday) and myself (un: finch). Please contact us if you have any questions on how to make use of it.
²Certainty would, of course, increase with the final note included in our analysis.
³For further reading on the topic, I suggest Barbara Ryden's Introduction to Cosmology published in 2003. It is available at the library.

So on she pops making a peace sign with her right hand just outside the Louvre in the Jardin des Tuileries.]
Helllooooo!
I've been here for a little bit, but this is the first time I'm giving a real hello. I'm Aerith, but I might have told you my name was 'Ree' or 'Ri' or some other variation of it. I sold flowers back home and maybe I might want to do that here, too? I'm not sure yet. It's nice to meet you!
A bit ago I was one of the people who came from Pollux and had been living with the fae for a few months, if you can believe it. I haven't exactly reunited with everyone who I had met while I was there, but I'd like to if you decided to come back with everyone else.
I also wanted to say thank you to everyone who was worried about me not making my way back. As you can see, I'm in one piece and one hundred percent here!
[She opts for not making any commentary on any of the dreams she had and the various people she might have reached out to in said dreams even before they found her on Pollux. That may just have to remain another one of those unspoken secrets that Aerith seems to carry.
She moves her video to show the gardens off.]
If you like flowers, you should come visit the Louvre. They aren't mine, but the very nice man who curates the museum is letting me help take care of them! Please come by and say 'hello;' they'd like that very much!
[When the camera moves back onto her, she lifts a finger.]
With that out of the way—I'm actually looking for someone. Back on Pollux there was a very nice man named Jean-Napoleon who said he was going to show me some more gardens here. I'm officially stating that I'm hunting you down and I would like to collect on this invitation!
And of course, I'd be very thankful for anyone who can point me in his direction!
[But also, you know, please come to the gardens—and her church—and say 'hi' to the flowers.]

Feb. 13th, 2026 11:03 pmI had not originally intended to make any formal announcement regarding my workshop. However, after seeing Sophie’s recent notice advertising her own establishment, I was reminded that certain opportunities are best stated plainly rather than left to rumor. With that in mind, I am opening a limited number of workshop roles and apprenticeship positions at my facility, Contingency Plan, located at Guardiandocks.

Feb. 13th, 2026 10:13 pm(Let's just change the format for once. She prefers text, but variety is the spice of life or whatever, so, she shows up on video, wearing what is honestly just Every Day Getting Out Of The House To Get Mail Sophie, her rainbow money piece framing her face while the rest of her golden locks are in a braid. Make-up included to go with the hair, of course. Extraness aside, which if it doesn't exist, she died, she has a bright smile adorning her lips, she walks around the building.)
I was going to do my usual 'hello, it's Sophie Cuckoo, NYX stuff here' post, and then I realized I always text it, so, hi, this is me, this is NYX. This is basically a community event center. We hold all sorts of classes, engineering, arts, fencing, martial arts, and well, I was teaching ethics, but I closed that time slot for more one-on-one deals, so I guess if you need me to help with something, I'm super not hard to reach? Text, show up, or just think at me really hard, and that does it. Anyway! It's the usual. Wanna learn something specific, tell me and I'll see what I can find. Wanna teach and add to the community, let me know so I can fix you a classroom and a time slot, provide materials, and whatever the fuck else.
We also make food here. We have three cooks who, really, if you don't try their meals, you're super missing out, which leaves more for me, so, really, do whatever you want with that. We also deliver, so just contact me and I'll find a way to get it to you. Lunch and dinner on us.
(Okay, to the fun part. There's a wall that hasn't been painted in the surrounding garden area, along with all the mutant-centric art, untouched because they were getting to it back home, okay, stuff happens.)
Okay, cool, right, so, two things. First of all of them, this wall is boring, so I am inviting all of you to do something with it. Obviously, don't fucking think the entire thing is your canvas only, because that's fucking shitty, but leave a mark, draw a thing, write, kick it, and leave a shoeprint for all I care, but make a mark on it, I think that would be really cool.
Second thing — usual thing. Give me a situation, a dilemma, a problem, and I'll tell you what to do about it. I'm great at problem-solving. I also accept 'a friend of a friend of my cousin's on my uncle's side from my dad's side' situations, trust me, totally serious answers from me only.
See you guys!
I was going to do my usual 'hello, it's Sophie Cuckoo, NYX stuff here' post, and then I realized I always text it, so, hi, this is me, this is NYX. This is basically a community event center. We hold all sorts of classes, engineering, arts, fencing, martial arts, and well, I was teaching ethics, but I closed that time slot for more one-on-one deals, so I guess if you need me to help with something, I'm super not hard to reach? Text, show up, or just think at me really hard, and that does it. Anyway! It's the usual. Wanna learn something specific, tell me and I'll see what I can find. Wanna teach and add to the community, let me know so I can fix you a classroom and a time slot, provide materials, and whatever the fuck else.
We also make food here. We have three cooks who, really, if you don't try their meals, you're super missing out, which leaves more for me, so, really, do whatever you want with that. We also deliver, so just contact me and I'll find a way to get it to you. Lunch and dinner on us.

Feb. 6th, 2026 04:04 pmSo, it's February. Normally it's one of my favorite months, but... this will be the first Valentine's Day I'm gonna be apart from my boyfriend, so... that's not feeling great.
BUT! I figure I'm not the only one in this boat, so I think I'm gonna do something rather than just sitting around feeling bad. What I'm thinking is a party where everyone gets a bucket of ice cream and we watch some trashy movies or something. Everyone would be welcome, except couples.

Jan. 21st, 2026 03:51 pmHello, everyone.
My name is Sandrilene, it's a pleasure to meet you all. As we have been warned about the darkness on our next mission I would like to offer assistance where I can. For anyone who wishes, I am able to make bracelets or other simple woven items that emit light. Please let me know if you would like one! I will make some in advance of the mission and bring my tools to make more while we are away.
Best wishes,
Sandrilene fa Toren

in summary: big damn hero and op as fuck.
services i can provide:
- telepathic comms (obvi)
- remote monitoring of team member locations and statuses
- scanning for all thinking life-forms within a given radius
- emergency contact for reinforcements/next of kin
pretty good deal, right? you bet your ass it is. okay okay, but where's the catch? what about rules? caveats? are there rules and are they reasonable? yes and yes.

Jan. 17th, 2026 07:03 pm[Here’s Sciel, recording herself. She’s out in the wilderness, wisps of hair caught on the breeze, scarf loose around her neck, face a little flushed from the cold air. She laughs under her breath, holding the camera out at arm’s length; she’s sitting on the hood of a vintage off-road vehicle.]
Salut, mes amies! [A little wave. She speaks with a mild, pragmatic cheer:] In a week, we will be visiting Mesa, where we will be getting samples. Miserable business when you have to cut and run, but we’ll save whatever we can. And with that in mind… I wanted to go over a few very important things in handling plants, both for your safety, and for the survival of the specimens.
[She holds up a hand, raising one finger.]
One… gloves and long sleeves! Many plants secrete oily compounds that can start an allergic reaction. The smoother and shinier the leaves, the more likely you’re looking at something toxic. If you happen to touch something by accident, scrub your exposed skin with soap and water. Don’t scratch or put your fingers in your eyes or mouth, unless you want to risk a very bad time.
[There’s a dull thud of boots on metal as she shimmies across the hood of the vehicle, and she slides down to the ground. Chattering as she goes, and a second finger goes up:]
Two! If you must eat something, test each part against your skin first for a reaction. Roots, stem, leaves and flowers, test all of them separately. If you have no reaction, cook it and rub it on your lip. If there still isn't a reaction, you can try a very small bite. If you’re still fine after a few hours, you’re at much smaller risk than if you did no testing at all.
And with that said, you’ll need to know how to take samples…
[Sciel looks away from the camera for a moment as she focuses on grabbing some things from… somewhere, then she’s tromping across the fields, into a wooded area. She takes a moment to set the camera up where her worksite is visible. It’s a tree with peeling bark and bare branches, the best the winter can offer, but it’ll do.]
Now, I assume we’re not collecting samples in the dead of winter, so you’ll have to imagine I’m doing this with something fresher than a wintering tree… but the principles are the same! Listen carefully:
[This is followed by a candid but thorough explanation of how to take plant cuttings with a sharp knife. Her voice is warm, she makes jokes here or there, but it’s mostly to the point, delivered with the cadence of someone very used to teaching.
By the end, she has several cuttings of different parts of the tree, with notes for habitat descriptions, descriptions of the plant itself, its phenological state, miscellaneous observations –– the notebook she shows off is full of near-illegible chicken scratch, but she can read it, and that’s what matters.
And then she’s done! She smiles at the camera and gives a little gesture with her knife – ta.]
And don’t be a stranger! If you have any questions while you’re out there… I'm Sciel, and you can send me a message any time.

Jan. 11th, 2026 07:19 pmIf any of you have important information you want to share, Aurora made space for us to set up a data repository. It's for data, not inane crap like selfies, so don't bother trying to fill it up with garbage. Sunday is going to be running it, with Finch doing the back end stuff, so don't waste their time.
If you have any questions about it, Sunday will be around to answer them. We can dump data from the upcoming mission into it, so keep that in mind when you're collecting it.
If any of you fuckers have those suspicious diary entries then you can share it using the repository. I'm talking about the ones that are dated with really complex mathematical calculations on the back. Don't keep that shit to yourself, it might be the proof we need that Echo isn't just fucking with all of us. I can't overstate how important this is, some of us have been here over a year and we're still skeptical. From what I've seen of the math it looks really fucking promising.
((Details and depositing can be found over here! Both Sunday and Accelerator will be responding to this post. Sunday will be a lot kinder to people!))

Jan. 11th, 2026 02:51 pm[ The video starts with a boy in a baseball cap, wearing a bright grin and lifting a hand in greeting. An I-come-in-peace kind of greeting. He's in his bedroom, sitting on his unmade bed and while his room isn't messy per se (he hasn't been here long enough to accumulate a mess), there are a few shirts haphazardly draped over the back of his headboard. ]
S'up, Etraya? The name's Junpei Iori! I'm pretty new here. Still getting the lay of the land and all, but uh...
[ He rubs the back of his neck, glancing past the camera for a moment. ]
My birthday's on the 16th. Which I guess is operation day? So I'm thinking of celebrating early. Anyone wanna maybe...hang?
[ God. That feels so pathetic. Like coming on here and pretty much announcing he's a friendless loser. Junpei quickly pivots: ]
Or I guess you could just give some recommendations of good places to check out and party it up? What place has the best food or where can a guy get a good cake...that kinda thing? Yeah, sure. I can probably go find somewhere on my own, but the best reviews are usually word of mouth!
[ Junpei shifts, palms planted on his knees as he leans forward. ]
Sooo, lay it on me, folks. Where would you spend your sweet seventeen in this place?
