Fourth Wall: We Gather Here to Face the Dusk
Log Comm | Network Comm | OOC Comm | Navigation

With the call for aid for the advent of the Suneater, the Academy has become one of the many operational centers around the world. The school while never having been quiet by any measure is now buzzing with extra traffic as those from all walks of life and not-quite-life gathered, preparing to literally fight for the sake of the world.

Whether the added souls were new to the supernatural, old faculty and students returning to the fold, or even legends whispered of in hush voices by those in the know, all are welcomed with open arms, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere despite the grim purpose of their visit.

A. Team-Build Exercises
To help with coordinating for the massive undertaking, team-building measures have been enacted, from trust falls to tag-team spars and even trivia bowls. Everything is designed to bring the disparate groups together to build trust and understanding...with varying results.

B. Breaking Bread
With the increase number of people needing to eat, the kitchen under the helm of Chef Hendersen aka Professor Bigfoot has been bringing out food from all corners of the world and the outlands - to make people feel at home - and for the daring to try the far more exotic fare such as Baatzou Surprise or Cumulus Puff from Celestia. And as it turns out - a speciality for the adults, they found some Ambrosia - drink and be merry.

C. Shop Talk
With the experience and wisdom of all sorts of trades and specialities being brought together, it’s only natural to want to exchange information and see what new innovations or experiments has been underway, or to get into impromptu competitions over whose ideas, spells or artifice will work better, especially if there’s money or bragging rights to be had.

Wild Card
If none of these appeal, make up a prompt of your own.

((ooc: This is the first fourth-wall log before the 5th Herald and opened for ALL characters current, past and not yet here. Feel free to throw any and all characters in to get a feel or get them established before the big battle.

[As some of the new blood in question, Byleth's been keeping pretty quiet as she watches and listens to the crowd.]

... I've never seen this many people here before... though that was a while back.

[But, ah, the question and the pun... Well, it's not as... terribly obvious as one of Alois's jokes.]

It was certainly... different. I might go back for another one of those puffs.

[... Of course, she's saying this while she's still got a not-insignificant amount of food--mostly dishes from Fódlan, including some sort of stew.]

[Manfred noticed Byleth's general quiet demeanor, and yet serious, focused nature. In a way, she reminded him of one of his wingmen, though she managed to be even more straight-faced than either Firestorm or Heron.

Then again, mentioning "awhile back..."]

Hey, that's right. I thought you looked familiar. You were that merc that we hired to deal with some of those Daemonic Beasts that were pushing through a barrier awhile back, right?

[The Ashen Daemon, if he recalled correctly, but...]

Oh yeah. Those puffs were great. Who knew angels could actually bake that well? ...Wonder if angel food cake is actually literal...?
