For those of you who weren't here around this time last year, Hymns of Lorelei will be delivering hot cocoa! The first time I did this, it was because there was a blizzard, and lots of people couldn't go outside, but that doesn't mean we can't do it again now!

[ Hymns of Lorelei staff ]

It would probably be best if there was another person delivering with me. Would anybody else like to?

[ Friends and Family ]

Thank you everyone who came to be a part of my family for Thanksgiving. That's what I was most thankful for. I hope you'll come again on Christmas, so we can all be together again! And if you didn't come... well, I hope you'll consider coming this time!

[ ooc; relevant fanart is relevant, a delivery-loli's gotta dress warm for the winter :3 ]

Since I've been a part of the police force, I've gotten to see just how much work people have to do, that a lot of people don't even know about. There are a lot of procedures, and there's always more work to be done.

I want to help them out however I can. I went to the library and found that some places have laws about performing a "Citizen's arrest." Through this, I think a lot of people who aren't police trained, but still want to help make things safer, could help out. If we set up patrols, or even set up a headquarters where people could come if they need help, that would help lighten the load for the police. We could even do things like train self-defense, and I could help people with magic a little, just like Nanoha-mama used to.

I wouldn't be able to pay anybody, but... maybe there are other people like me, who are too young to be official police members, who could help out. We don't need money to live here anyway, so that's not a problem.

Would anybody be interested?

Trick or Treat!

I really like Halloween, because no matter how busy Megumi-mama is at the hospital, she always comes home in time to dress up and go out and get candy with me. And I'm especially happy this year, because lots of people are getting to spend it with their friends from home. So I hope everyone has a very happy Halloween!

[ ooc; go nuts, anything goes! :D ]

Thank you to everyone who was worried about me. I'm okay, I wasn't hurt, but Megumi-mama took care of me just to be sure.

Speaking of Megumi-mama, it's been around two years since we first met. I was alone and scared, just like when I met Nanoha-mama, but she took me in and I've been really happy ever since then. There are still times where I really miss Nanoha-mama and Fate-mama, but then I see Megumi-mama and I feel like I'll be okay without them.

[ Doll's Game Filter ]

I'm really sorry for the way everything happened. Even when I had them come after me, they killed somebody else anyway. And I know everybody knew they'd be risking their lives when they agreed to play, but it still wasn't right.

I don't think any of us should give up on our dreams though. I've always said that the best thing you can ever do is just try your best. It was a mistake for me to try to get somebody else to solve my problem for me, but all I can do now is move forward and keep trying to reach it with my own two hands.

[ Police Filter ]

Even though I was involved in the Doll's Game, I don't have any information about who was responsible for the murders. But if anybody has any questions about it, I can answer them.

[ ooc; I apologize to anybody I've dropped tags with / been really slow at tagging, I've been pretty out of it ;; but in the spirit of this post, I'll just keep doing my best. sob I feel so cheesy saying that ]

N-no, leave me alone... I don't want to be your tool again... M-mama...

[ Though it's dark, it appears there is blood splattered against the wall behind her. Upon closer inspection, rather than splattered, it seems to have been used to write out a message. ]

There are a lot of people in prison, good people, bad people... but I don't think they deserve what's happening to them. I don't know why they're there, but I'm going to do everything I can to help them.

[ Police Filter ]

Does anybody know what's happening? Was this planned? Many people said they're in a prison, some seem sure it's the one on the island.

This isn't right. I'm going to go protect as many people as I can. I can take people there too, if anybody else wants to help.

... I woke up this morning, and I knew that Nanoha-mama wasn't here anymore. I couldn't feel her anymore. I went and checked the Hall of the Missing, just to be sure, and I saw her picture there. Harribel's too.

I was really happy that she was here. Back home, we were finally living a normal life together, with Fate-mama whenever she was home too. And I wanted to be able to keep doing that here, too. But I guess it's good that she's back home with Fate-mama.

I hope she wouldn't be disappointed that I'm sad just this once.

I want to keep her magical training going while she's gone. I'm still learning myself, so I don't think there's a lot I could teach, but if anyone wants to practice, I'll help as much as I can.

The circus was really amazing. To be able to do all of that, without using any magic... I think now I know why it's good to not just rely on magic all the time, even though I have it. Thank you for inviting me, Freckles!

Natalia, I'm sorry, but I might not be able to work at Hymns of Lorelei as much anymore. I'll still help out when I can though, okay?

[ Police Filter ]

Since we're going to be working together, I thought I should introduce myself. My name is Takamachi Vivio, I'm ten years old, and my specialty is close-up fighting. I've never been part of a police force or military before, but my dream is to join the Time-Space Administration Bureau and help people, just like Nanoha-mama and Fate-mama.

[ ooc; not sure when she was supposed to go, but since it's been a few weeks, I assumed she'd have gone by now. if that's wrong, just let me know. ^^; ]

Today seems really fun and really dangerous at the same time.

If anyone's having problems catching something important that's flying away, I can help. Or if you're stuck in the sky on something, I can help with that too.

[ Video Post ]

... I guess he got away.

[ An older teenage Vivio turns from scanning the area to face the screen ]

I don't really know what just happened, but something attacked me earlier. It was black, and it was strong enough to recover from a very heavy hit without any apparent injuries. I tried to follow it, but it disappeared in a dark alley.

It probably wouldn't be hard to spot during the day, but it's probably not safe to be outside at night right now, unless you can defend yourself.

[ ooc; ... orz was supposed to post this Friday, and then earlier today, but I just haven't had a lot of time to make posts. So just pretend this was made a little earlier? ^^; ]

I know I shouldn't get my hopes up, because these curses can be really unpredictable, but... I wonder if Fate-mama will come to visit. It'd be nice if we could all be together as a family, just for today.

Is anyone from Midchilda out there?

[ /Video ]

Even though I'm a car, I'm able to post on the network... somehow. Maybe that means I'm a really fancy car!

Being a car is fun, but I think I liked being a prince more. I got to help lots of people. After that, I decided that I should do what I can here to help.

I'm not sure who I should talk to, but I'd like to join the police. I know I'm too young to do a lot of the work, but if there's anything I can do to help, I want to.

[ ooc; she's name-cursed into one of these ]

It seems there are many people in danger today. While I may be but one prince, I cannot stand idly by.

I, Prince Vivio Takamichi of the Kingdom of Midchilda, swear by my sword that I will do what I can to help those in need, so if anyone is in need of rescuing, or any form of assistance, please do not hesitate to ask.

[ ooc; ... yes, a prince ]

Mama, I forgot to tell you, I nominated you to be the next Warden!

I guess since Nanoha-mama hasn't been here very long, I should tell everyone about her. I nominated her for Warden, and it's not just because she's my mama. I've seen her at her job, so I know that she's a hard worker. She's very good with people, even with her enemies. A lot of our friends weren't always our friends, but Nanoha-mama always tries to talk to them and help them, and most of the time she's able to. She can be very strict, but she's not mean. She's also the strongest mage I've ever seen.

I think she'd be really good at protecting the people of the City, and leading others to do the same. So I hope you'll vote for her!

Mama, I'm off!

[ a door opens and closes, and a few quick footsteps are heard, but they quickly slow down and then stop altogether ]

This is... oh! I remember! It's been such a long time. Well... for me, anyway. But that doesn't mean everyone else I knew is gone, right?

Nanoha-mama, are you and Fate-mama married?

[ ooc; it was only a matter of time... XD ]

I know everyone's saying it's really dangerous outside right now, but... it's Mother's Day, so we're having a special at Hymns of Lorelei! If you're a mama, you can come in today and get a free caramel milk and a flower!

Megumi-mama, Nanoha-mama, I know you're probably real busy, but you have to come in today too, okay?

[ ooc; posting here because it doesn't really warrant its own tl;dr post - drove down to NC today, and will be spending the next couple weeks down here. activity shouldn't be an issue, considering that I'm sitting in the same room as a fellow addict and mod here, but just in case, now you know. :3 ]`

I have a question for everyone. Do you think that even if you've done bad things, you can be a good person? How do you decide if someone's a good person or a bad person?

Nanoha-mama's here! She's my first mama from home. She's really strong and really nice and... I hope everyone gets along with her!

Mama, I heard that even though we're both here, Fate-mama won't be all alone 'cause to her it'll be like we never left. Isn't that great? I'd be sad if she was lonely.

Welcome to Hymns of Lorelei! Come in and have something to eat, we serve the best food! And caramel milk!

[ ooc; Placeholder, feeling sick so I'm hitting the hay. Anything goes for her. :) ]
