Summary: While on a field trip to Tokyo Tower, three teenage girls cross a magical portal and are transported to another world called Cefiro. There they are summoned through the last remaining strength of the Princess Emeraude, who believes the trio will become the magic knights who will save her, as prophesied by legend.

Chapter 1: Pretty illustrations! Oh, is there a Mokona in this world too?

The girl on the cover and two other girls get sucked into the ground and fall into another world. Lol I like the glasses-wearing girl's reactions to things.

Emeraude is the girl who summoned them. There's a guy in black watching.

Fuu: Short-haired girl with glasses, Sagittarius
Umi: Long-haired girl with headband, Pisces
Hikaru: Ditzy and straightforward, good with animals

Everyone picking on Hikaru for having a baby face. 😭

A tiny young looking old guy showed up, he summoned the fish that saved them, Fyula.

This world is called Cefiro.

The guy in black is called Lord Zagato. He's the bad guy it seems. If the girls suceed, they'll revive this 'Mashin'.

The 'boy's' name is Guru Clef.

Alcyone is tasked with taking down the girls.

Chapter 2: Emeraude was imprisoned by Zagato and Cefiro fell into chaos and war.

Clif gives them armor and each of them a magic specialization, easy to guess what they are.

Alcyone was Clif's apprentice.

With Hikaru's newly learnt fire magic, Alcyone is at least temporarily set back. Now they have to find Presea at the Forest of Silence to get weapons.

It's funny that Umi has a a bit of a temper even though she's water.

Chapter 3: After a kerfuffle with Mokona, they meet Presea, chief artisan of Cefiro. They need to get 'escudo' for her to make their weapons but it's in a dangerous place.

The three vow to protect each other as sisters.

We get some extra bits at the end of the volume. Hikaru wants to be a seeing-eye dog trainer, that's lovely. Umi doesn't like sweets but she likes baking cakes? She wants to be a bride?! Fuu is a Sagittarius like me! She's similar to be in ways.

I like the pointed "it's possible it doesn't think about anything" dig or Mokona.

I'm enjoying this manga so far, the over the top humor is definitely very Clamp and the girl's relationship is sweet. And fantasy is always great.

Update 1: Finally made it to that drag show!

I got a mid-week text about it, not saying it was canceled again, but that it was moving to a different venue. Slightly less convenient than the original, there was an extra bus ride involved, but it did exist!

As suspected, it was tiny. Little hole-in-the-wall bar/lounge, a dozen customers in the whole place, plenty of empty chairs, no stage, the queens just sauntered between the tables. The online signup had all these conditions -- bring your e-ticket, bring ID, bring the specific credit card you made the purchase with -- yeah, nobody on-site checked any of those things. I think some people showed up without realizing there was a performance at all, they just hung out at the bar and enjoyed it for free.

All that said, the performers were beautiful and talented, they did not let the small crowd slow them down, and I'm glad I gave them my money.

Update 2: Found the thing!

This pattern I remembered as "some kind of screensaver, probably" isn't from a computer screen at all. It's...a novelty lamp, I think?

Turns out the color-squares-playing gadget was still findable in my parents' basement. Short video on Bluesky, here's a screencap:

Screencap of the box with the colors

Stickers on the back:
- Underwriters' Laboratories, Inc. (R) LISTED PORTABLE LAMP ISSUE NO. E-383
- MATRIX MOD. 6019

The official packaging is long gone, so there's no telling what name it was actually sold under, and I can't find anything online referring to these model numbers. I don't suppose any of you know an archive that keeps records of this kind of thing...?

Fandom: Hazbin Hotel
Pairings/Characters: Valentino & Velvette & Vox, Valentino/Vox
Rating: M
Length: 7634
Creator Link: auxkabel (cablecurrent)
Theme: journey & travel

Summary: Some people lose their heads. Vox loses his body. It’s a sex thing.

Or: while Vox is busy making sure Valentino Day goes smoothly, his meatsuit departs on an epic journey across the Pentagram. Now it’s up to Valentino, Velvet and Vox’s head to find the damn thing before something bad happens to it.

Reccer's Notes: Can't usually find much travelling with Sinners in Hazbin, but it definitely counts when some Overlords have to go around on foot to find someone body.

For after reading

First of all, Val being angry that he can't find Vox's body instead of concerned brings me great joy. As if Vox did it all on purpose.

I have to think about all the other reasons (other than Alastor) that Vox would have for letting his body do whatever it wants when his consciousness appears to remain with his body at all times. Does he get to choose where his mind stays? In which case, the body that "wines and dines" Val is only less important because Vox's consciousness isn't in it.

And we know Vox would love Val even as a worm. He would hate loving him as a worm, but he would.

Velvette shaming Val is so tasty. Shaming Vox? Yes, of course. But fixing Val with the disappointed look is so much funnier in this context.

I'm so freaking happy Charlie's first reaction was that Vox's body was a Dullahan. There is a version of this fic where Angel wasn't around to inform them it was Vox, leaving Charlie and Vaggie to go on an adventure to find a head and making it even harder for the Vees to find him.

The goat demon is a freaking boss. Risking talking back to the Vees, considering he actually knows that's who he is talking to. What a hero. Who else of his level could get Val to kiss them?

And I'm glad Maggot Mary seems to have what she wants in order. Her body really does seem like one of the worst punishments Hell could have provided someone. How often does she die and have to reconstitute? I want to know what her guard dogs are like.

So many people might construe calling someone's body "our things" as dehumanizing, but considering it's Velvette saying it Vox indeed has the money on the mark. It's her attempt at being flippant while she indeed cares about him. After all, why would Velvette have bothered putting this much time in otherwise? Even with putting out fires.

In the end, of course Charlie lets him keep the nightgown so he doesn't have to go home nude. And Velvette doesn't bother to give him another outfit to wear. Going for takeout and straight home is such a boon for Vox as well. You know if Velvette wasn't busy she would have wanted to spend some time threatening Vox with having him go into a restaurant like this.

I love to consider what S2 would have been like if this had happened first: because Alastor then wouldn't have Vox to fall upon to get him out of his deal with Rosie, Vox couldn't insult the hotel while convincing people to rise up against Heaven, and it would have been perhaps a somewhat more lighthearted comedy before Vox blew a hole in Heaven.

Roll #1

An 11, nice. Prompt: transmigrated to another world. Okay the first one on my list is a huuuge fic but I'm tired of looking so - Entirely Out of Spite.

Roll #2

A 10! 'generate from MFL' tile oh boy. Alright first we generate a page. #119. Now a fic on said page. #1, which is Will We Last the Night.

Roll #3

I don't know what is happening here but I got another 10, prompt: witches/etc. I guesss I'll make it easy with Then Comes a Mist and a Weeping Rain.

Roll #4

A 2 and the MFL tile again. #134 + #14 - Eglantine.

Roll #5

Annd another 10 and the end, no reward because some of these fics are long af.

Fandom: Downton Abbey
Pairings/Characters: Thomas Barrow/Jimmy Kent, Lady Anstruther, OCs
Rating:T
Length: 79,395
Creator Links: Laramie, LinkWorshiper (AO3)
Theme: journey & travel

Summary: Though Jimmy Kent has found success and fortune since moving on from Downton, he has never been able to forgive Lady Anstruther for the troubles she's caused him in the past. Motivated by a burning desire for revenge, Jimmy takes action - and enlists the help of the one person he's ever trusted. Naturally that person is Thomas Barrow.

Reccer's Notes: This fic has romance, a revenge plot, and mystery fiction elements, all while the characters travel to China. It's a really fun read.

Fandom: “The Last Saskatchewan Pirate” (Arrogant Worms song; Captain Tractor cover)
Pairings/Characters: Gen; OCs of assorted genders.
Rating: General Audiences
Length: 4:13
Content Notes: The OP identifies the song as by the Arrogant Worms—who originated it, but the version used here is Captain Tractor’s cover.
Creator Links: (YouTube):

vinnyreid

Theme: Journey & Travel, Fanvid, Just Plain Fun, Kidfic (child performers), Old Fandoms, Pre-AO3 Works

Summary: This is a video that I made with some of the students from the youth group back in April 2003. Its pretty cheezy, but we had lots of fun making it and still get a laugh out of watching it. Hope you enjoy it too. The song is "The Last Saskatchewan Pirate" by the Arrogant Worms.

Watch on YouTube

Reccer's Notes: This is an exercise in how to make a killer fanvid on a backyard budget—propelled by the sheer exuberant glee of the kid pirates running amuck and by the masterfully edited nonstop action—Benny Hillesque chase scenes, sword fights, and Scooby Dooby Doors. (Note in particular the inventive use of camera angles and farm and playground architecture to create the impression that they actually have a ship.)

Things I Learned in the process of fact-checking this post: “The Last Saskatchewan Pirate” has become such an anthem for Saskatchewanians (and Canadians in general) that it’s taught in grade-school music classes! (It’s also a compelling fantasy to lots of non-Canadian dwellers in regions marked by farming and economic disgruntlement; The Longest Johns (of viral “Wellerman” fame) have localized it accordingly.)

I would have added “a large local body of water”, but it turns out that part of the regional in-joke is that Regina (“Regina’s mighty shores”), the provincial capitol, is in a landlocked part of Saskatchewan; the Jolly Roger is a legendary dive bar there.

Reid doesn’t specify the affiliation of the youth group, but the censorship of the word “damn” leads me to suspect a church.
