Sorry to bother everyone, but I think we need to discuss ways to bring in revenue to help with the fortress's upkeep. I overheard Wriothesley arguing with Neuvillette over money and rainforest water this morning. I know Wriothesley wants to give us a good and free place to live, but I don't think any of us want him to break while trying to pull that off.
Sometimes I do fighting jobs that require my abilities which bring in a good amount of money. But not many people can afford my rates, so those jobs aren't common. But maybe we could do something like that on a more affordable scale?
pretty sure he'd get upset if I told him he doesn't have to pay me anymore so I can't like do that. but since getting on the app I've seen a lot of supernatural stuff and not a lot of people able to help with that supernatural stuff? so that might be a really good idea!
GOOD EVENING, FRIENDS OF THE FORTRESS! I, the Storm Dragon Veldora Tempest, come to you today with a request!
(Lady Rose, if you're seeing this, don't look until I say you can, thank you!!!)
You see, friends--during the Christmas occasion I was visiting the peculiar shop in Undertown and I received one of their so-called 'Advent Calendars'. This Advent Calendar has a variety of seeds in it for different vegetables, fruits, and flowers, and I realized
I HAVE NO IDEA HOW GARDENING WORKS! THERE ARE LITTLE PICTURES UPON THE BOX BUT SURELY SUCH THINGS CANNOT APPLY TO EVERY SEED? WHAT IF I WASTE SOME OF THEM WITH INADEQUATE CARE?
So I come before you to humbly ask how to bring these little seeds to their full potential, so that I may acquire a new and interesting skill!
(Okay, Lady Rose, you can look now!!)
THAT ASIDE, I will soon also be making my usual rounds of the city's book depositories, so if you have any requests for any particular volume of the Sacred Texts, please let me know! I am all too pleased to see the collection within the Fortress' library grow, especially since I don't have to build the shelves!
Two people are competing in an archery competition. If one person gets distracted by someone, and while they are distracted, the other person makes the shot and hits the target they were both aiming for-- that still counts as a legitimate win, doesn't it?
The target was hit, and so the battle was won. In many types of battle--even Boxing included--if your opponent doesn't keep their eyes on the goal and they get hit with a sharp right-hook that knocks them down for the count, that's what the people of this world would call a 'skill issue', I believe?
In short, no matter what may have distracted one party, it doesn't change the rules for the outcome of the competition.
Bad news, I won't be able to make any fruit harvests from the Fortress's garden this week. There was an incident with the orchard.
[What the incident was? He's not going into detail. He ain't no snitch]
Ragna, you should be able to get fresh fruit from Kni's produce stand. Just tell them I sent you, I also got some presents that I've been meaning to deliver to them. They should give you a good price rate.
[The video feed is in the cafeteria, where Jun is sitting at one of the tables with a massive cup of coffee. On the table there's a box that's full to the brim with various decorative crosses- anyone whose been to his room would recognize it as the crosses from his wall of crosses.
He looks tired. It's been awhile since he's pulled an all-nighter for holy knight work. Last the fortress dwellers would've heard, it was that Jun was taking a vow of silence for Lent but... well, he seems to be chatting now.]
Demon attacks are on the rise, so I'm going to be putting up crosses in some spots in the fortress to help ward them. It's not a perfect deterrent, but it'll help the same way lavender wards off ants.
They'll be blessed with three charges of holy power, so you can use them as a weapon in a pinch.
If you want one or two for your room or corridor, let me know. I don't recommend them if you are a demon or a demon likes to visit your place.
I'm not looking to convert anyone, this is just a precaution.
PSA: The crops and main orchard in the greenhouse's serenitea pot are still free to use. Just please leave enough for the kitchen to use.
However, the trees and any future plants on the island separated from all the others are NOT to be touched without prior authorization. In the unlikely scenario you manage to survive the security measures that's been installed, the plants grown on that island are enchanted in ways that may one day make you wish the security measures had killed you. So for your own sake, please resist any temptation and stay away from that island.
[And on that happy note...!]
Anyway, the gardening stores have stocked their seeds for the growing season. So if anyone has any special requests for crops they want me to grow, just let me know! ヽ(*・ω・)ノ
[Sometimes after Zulius's post about the Vogue's Pride events, Jun is hitting up the meropide group chat]
I'm sure some of you already saw it, but next month the Vogue is doing their annual drag competition. For those who don't know, drag is a performance art where people dress in outfits of the opposite gender and do a stage performance.
Anyway, it's free to enter and the grand prize is $5000. So I was thinking, if we work together and several of us enter the competition, we could win the prize and put the money towards something that'd benefit the fortress! What that something may be... that'd be up to the actual winner!
What do you say? I can help with people deciding on their outfits, and Varian can help with any special effect props you want! We did this last year with POKEGO and we know what we're doing, so we know what we're doing.
[Harumasa doesn't tend to start discussions in this group chat. Mostly because he likes being on relatively good behavior in a chat watched by Wriothesley and Maxima. Plus, he's doing his best to fight against his hospital trauma and music is usually a good idea.
However.
His luck is insanely bad this time and he has to complain about it. It's the best distraction from The Horrors.]
What do you mean, Spotify?
What do you MEAN that the one time I have to withdraw from the drag performance because I'm in the hospital is
THE YEAR IF NOT MONTH
THAT OOPS! I DID IT AGAIN HAS ITS 25TH ANNIVERSARY RERELEASE?!?!
[ A few days after Harumasa's hospital visit, Varian will finally address the group chat. When Ruddiger didn't show up at home for the first day, he wasn't overly worried. Ruddiger was, ostensibly, a wild animal. He came and went as he liked. But as one day turned to two, and then three, the worry started to set in. Ruddiger might be a terrible, self-serving beast, but he was devastatingly loyal to Varian. He loved the raccoon deeply, and something feels wrong about this. Haru's health, Jun's teleportation. Something is happening. ]
Hey. Has anyone seen Ruddiger around the fortress? I haven't seen him for three days now and it's really not like him to be away for this long. Is he just sleeping in someone's room and stealing their food or something?
I'm getting worried. Please let me know if you see him.
Translation for the Duke and Maxima btw: "fuckboy" is that guy who's...well he's a fuck and won't commit and is kind of trash and they tend to be lazy and really rude. "dudebro" is a guy who is like a jock but also a party-guy and is really loud.

(Lady Rose, if you're seeing this, don't look until I say you can, thank you!!!)
You see, friends--during the Christmas occasion I was visiting the peculiar shop in Undertown and I received one of their so-called 'Advent Calendars'. This Advent Calendar has a variety of seeds in it for different vegetables, fruits, and flowers, and I realized
I HAVE NO IDEA HOW GARDENING WORKS! THERE ARE LITTLE PICTURES UPON THE BOX BUT SURELY SUCH THINGS CANNOT APPLY TO EVERY SEED? WHAT IF I WASTE SOME OF THEM WITH INADEQUATE CARE?
So I come before you to humbly ask how to bring these little seeds to their full potential, so that I may acquire a new and interesting skill!
(Okay, Lady Rose, you can look now!!)
THAT ASIDE, I will soon also be making my usual rounds of the city's book depositories, so if you have any requests for any particular volume of the Sacred Texts, please let me know!
