[ The video feed shows off a council room of some kind. There's a few figures in the background - a blond princess, for those who remember Cami, and a huge guy in pitch black armor who looks like the main villain of a fantasy epic. But the scarred, short-haired catgirl is front and center. ]

So a question. What are schools like where you're from? I've never been to one, so I have... no idea what they're like.

We have some here, but they're mostly for the children of merchantry, politicians, or nobility. Or for magic-users - there's a big magic academy... somewhere. Obviously I didn't get to go to any of those.

Any of you guys got schools like that?

TWHOCK! TWHOCK! TWHOCK! TWHOCK! TWHANNNGG!

[The sounds are heard before the video kicks on. It sounds like a tennis ball hitting a wall... and then hitting metal.]

Oh come on! How many of these bucking things are there?!

[The video comes on and it looks like it's being filmed from a device propped up on a wooden surface of some sort. There is a blue unicorn wearing a set of what looks like dark blue canvas booties, who's using a levitating frying pan and a shimmering shield of transparent magic in a dome like shape to defend against what look like winged, multicolored, ping pong ball sized critters.]

Twhannng! TWHOCK! TWHOCK! TWHOCK!

[She sends one flying back with a pan, while the others pelt the dome with their bodies and get sent flying on the rebound.]

I HATE Parasprites!

[Trixie notes the blinking light on her scroll and out of sheer desperation asks]

I don't know who this is sending to... but... TWHANNGGGG! Does anyone know how to get rid of a plague of fire proof insects?

(Ooc Edit: Trixie will get out of this without BadgerNet help, but if anyone is interested in a message with the aftermath just let me know?)

We at BadgerNet wish to give our apologies for the nasty network desynch we just had! We're working on fully stabilizing our operations. Turns out staying connected to multiple different universes is really hard, for many technical reasons.

In celebration of our re-connection, we're going to post a montage of baby badgers.

[Embedded is a video of various cute baby badger antics.]

Also, everyone who replies to this post will win a special "We're Sorry So We're Giving You Nice Things" prize, determined by BadgerNet.Prize!

Gonna try something tonight. If it works you'll get an interesting video. If it doesn't, you won't.

[Several hours later, as promised, Shinji's camera turns on - in the dead of night, outside a pretty normal-looking high school. For five minutes or so, nothing much happens, not even the sound of cars on the road.

Then what light is available in the video shifts, taking on a greenish cast. The video is interrupted by static, occasionally, but is still clear enough to show off the main event. With an ungodly amount of noise (mainly heavy rumbling, but there's a lot of metal-on-metal scraping and more than one sound of glass breaking), that normal-looking high school telescopes upward into a giant hodgepodge of a tower.

"Still don't know how that doesn't fuck up the school," Shinji mutters, before turning off the video and putting the Badgerthing away. He doesn't respond to anything until he's back in the dorm, and that's via text.]

Huh. That worked. Good to know.

(OOC: OH RIGHT. Sound on the video's not relevant, and the video itself isn't important past about 1:15.)

Sooo the weirdness of last month aside, hello gamers it's yaboi Jake with some good news.

Turns out that setting up the interdimensional API for Another World Online should actually be pretty easy - Badgernet itself has resources for it, so we'll be piggybacking off of Chimera server and getting proper VR pheripherals for it soonish.

In combination with the livestream going, uh, live this weekend, that means that I'm ready to field questions about how to play and things to do in Mundus!

Hi, I play a punchwizard vixen in a massively multiplayer roleplaying game that's about to go interdimensional, AMA!

[This time, the feed is clearly video, though it's not showing anything interesting - the underside of a desk lamp and the ceiling of a room. How thrilling.

Somewhere off-camera, Shinji lets out an exasperated sigh. "No, it's - what if I hurt someone? How's any of this worth shit then?"

"Trust your instincts, Shinjiro." The person he's talking to sounds feminine, around his age, and like she's trying to come off a lot more confident than she actually is yet. "They'll lead you in the right direction. The more time you spend fighting yourself, the more likely the accident you're afraid of becomes."

"Easy for you to say, when you've been at this for ages already."

"Yes, well, I had to practice as well. Neither of us can be faulted for Akihiko apparently being a natural. If you lack faith in yourself, have faith in us. We trust you."]

***

[As with last time the network thing pulled this stunt, Shinji discovers it several hours later.]

Fuck's sake, that's annoying.

...Wonder if she's on to something when what I'm worried about isn't wolf shit, though.

Oh. So last night was network bullshit. Explains a lot.

Doesn't explain the ripple effect on everyone else, but at least Aki and Mitsuru took me being confused as me just being new to werewolf shit. [What the fuck. Wasn't the Dark Hour enough moon-related nonsense?]

The fuck is a Strega and why are we in some kind of low-key turf war with them.

lightnovelexperiences

Look I shouldn’t even know martial arts. I flunked college aikido during my bad year, that’s about it.

So three questions!

1: what the fuck is a vajrapanta
2: why do I know enough Taekwondo, kenpo and aikido to take down a huge hairy man trying to threaten me at work because we’re apparently tainted by evil spirits
2b: look I could have told you that, evil spirits of capitalism possessing Corporate would be unsurprising
3: when did Akira become a Dionysus worshipper of some kind and what’s up with his giving me beer and telling me it has healing properties
4: I’m bad at counting what the fuck is a circle and why am I apparently in one

seriously just cause I’m half-Korean doesn’t mean I should know anime level punchwizardry and yet

PS: Akira’s beer is good. herby and light. not much of a beer guy myself but it’s pretty great. Wouldn’t say if it’s healing per se but it does make me feel better

[The post is written in a flowing cursive, unlike the normal computer text. The penmanship is impeccable, though the stray ink blot implies use of more traditional implements, like a quill pen, over any modern tools.]

Good day, and I hope this missive finds you well. I am Princess Camiel, heir apparent to the throne of Sengeis, founder and commander of the Invader Defense Force, Thane of Kiladdak-ah-Hahdax, voice of the gods, and protector of the elementals. I am writing in my official capacity in these titles, so that I may impress the importance of my words upon you. I and my people seek to remove the influence of other worlds from our own, as their one-sided invasion is no less than an act of war, an attempt to erode at Sengeis' own laws and rules. As such, I request the immediate removal of your activities from the world of Iden. The presence of this magic is not desired, nor welcomed. Remove this presence from Iden, else this shall be taken as an act of hostility against the world and kingdom of Sengeis, and responded to with the appropriate measures. Sengeis, and Iden's, only desire is to be left to ourselves. We desire not the influence of other worlds. Our affairs are our own. We will show no mercy to invaders.

( It's been a long day... But... )

[ Whoever's broadcasting this video put a lot of effort into setting the scene. Here is a figure in a strange white suit with a checkered scarf sitting with his hands folded on top of a desk. He's purposefully aimed his camera so that his head's out of the frame; better to make himself somewhat anonymous (and seem a bit taller maybe) than to expose himself right away, but leave just enough of a hint in case someone he knows gets this message. ]

Ahem! This is the Ultimate Supreme Leader, Kokichi Oma. For those of you who have no idea who that is, that means I run a secret society with thousands of members stationed all over the world.

[ He unfolds his hands and lets his fingers drum on top of his desk. ] Now, I've had a really crappy day and it's pretty late right now, but if I'm gonna have access to the entire Multiverse I might as well entertain myself.

SO! Whoever gets this message! Give me your name and show me a good meme, or I will have my lackeys track you down and send you to Siberia! Kapeesh?!

[ ... Anyone gonna tell him he sounds like a young teenage boy? ]

[This first part might be video, but the screen is dark, if that's the case. There's a lecture going on in the background, given by a cranky-sounding older man who says he's going to discuss some older Japanese literature, but spends a not insignificant chunk of the lecture time railing about how the students are a bunch of ungrateful brats with no appreciation for their culture.

After a good while of this 'lecture,' there's a muttered "Fuck's sake" much closer to the device's microphone.]

***

[Over lunch, Shinji discovers part 1 up there.]

Of course this damn thing turned itself on. Why wouldn't it.

I have no idea why Aki thinks that class is gonna get any better after midterms. Ekoda clearly doesn't give a flying fuck if we learn anything useful or not.

Really, for such a high-class school, most of the teachers here suck. He's just the worst by a long shot.

[ Badgernet's video function is broken in today by a disconcertingly close-up pair of blue eyes and a muffled: ]

- oh, blast -

[ Some fiddling and repositioning later, the eyes are revealed to belong to a boy no older than eleven, wearing an unusually green suit and an expression of astonishment. ]

I say, this really is a marvelous little device, isn't it? Right, then:

[ He straightens up to his full height of... not very tall, rearranging his face into a practiced superciliousness. ]

It's all well and good to go around claiming to be angels and devils and what have you, but clearly this gadget's more than just an elaborate typewriter, isn't it? I suggest you all show yourselves! Look, I've done so first, as a gesture of goodwill.

[ And definitely not because he hit the video button by accident while snooping! Luckily(?), internet stranger danger isn't a concept in his time yet, so he continues: ]

And shall we take a roll call while we're at it? You may call me Valmont, and at present I am located in San Francisco, in the year 1976 A.D. Are all of you people really from the future - ?

Who are you talking to, sweetie?

Oh, double blast -

[ A hasty rearranging of the camera view, and a brief close-up of the inside of an expensive suit pocket, before the feed turns off. ]

badgernet

Welcome to the grand opening of the Multiversal edition of Badgernet! Hopefully you can see this, going multiversal turned out to be surprisingly tricky! Assuming all goes well, you should be able to reply to this and make new posts. You should've also gotten the welcome message. If not, well, you probably won't be able to contact us so we'll be keeping an eye on things and immediately getting on fixing problems as they appear. As such, we'll be too busy to respond to comments on this post. Apologies!

[Insert a gif of an animated badger opening a champagne bottle while confetti falls everywhere.]
