[The video starts with the sound of a glass crashing onto the ground and a very soft 'oh dear...' as Snow comes into view. Faramund is holding the Omni.

Snow White is covered in tiny bruises and cuts, all of them random and sporadic as if she was careless with a knife or one of her animal friends wasn't quite careful enough with their claws or teeth. The bruises from being knocked into or bumping into things and some are green and yellow from healing, some are fresh and purple, and all of them are small and little. She pushes back a stray strand of hair that has come out from her well-kept bob.

On the floor is a whole pitcher of milk completely spilled and mixed with broken glass. Snow sighs again as she looks at it.

It's literally spilled milk.]

It... [Two little birds hand her a towel, and three raccoons push a bin over to where Snow White is kneeling down. A young wolf brings her a small dust brush in its jaws. She begins to carefully put the bigger pieces into the bin as she turns to look at Faramund.] It seems I'm not having a very good week... [She looked over to Faramund.]

It seems I've upset our kobold, Farmund, though I'm not sure what we did. We'll have to find a way to apologize. [She winces as she cuts her finger on a piece of glass and hisses softly.]

This and the lock snapping on the apple's chest are proof of it.

Does anyone know how to make a kobold happy again? I certainly didn't mean to insult it.

You're having a bad week too, hm?

Video; UN: Wishforsunshine

[onebadapple]

I've... certainly had nicer ones, to be sure.

[drawsghosts]

There seems to be a lot of that going around lately. I can't even use my telekinesis right now without something going flying across the room.

...Apple?

[onebadapple]

[Snow White brushes her brow with the back of her hand as she continues to clean. She's never heard this voice before.]

Yes that's right, an apple! Oh, but, no need to worry, while the lock on the box chest is being fixed I've locked up the apple in a different box with some rope. I was assured it would only take a week or so to fix.

As long as you trust your smith...

[ Altaïr's own Apple is a source of both fascination and worry. It is a device of the same size as the fruit it is named after. It holds temptation for anyone who seeks its knowledge, which is damn near everyone. Secret wars have been fought for it, and as an Assassin, Altaïr is part of that. ]

Does... is it a device? What does it do? Perhaps it is best not to speak of this to people you do not trust to keep your secret, but I want to know what this means for the city I live in.

[ Incredibly vague and ominous. ]

[She knows this reference! The benefits of german studies and classmates.]

I don't think kobolds are the cause of this. It's going around everywhere and not just indoors.

[Who knows what creature could be causing all the bad luck after all. The creatures in Trench can be just about anything.]

But just in case...carve it some friends, give it nice clothes and leave it treats. That's what works for brownies and sprites back home if you wanted to keep them around.

[onebadapple]

Oh, well, I suppose some small favors that I've not upset my kobold! Still, I will take your advice, Sarona! Maybe that will help change my luck! And why wouldn't I want my kobold? They've been so kind and hard working.

[inkedspell]

Sometimes they aren't the nice helpful kind. Sometimes they're the prank-playing kind who thinks putting your cat in the fridge is funny because it took its shoe or something.

[Willa always had the craziest stories about the sprites that lived around her family's house. And because it was Willa, she even believed majority of them were true.]

Nothing bad happened to the cat--besides being in the fridge.

[Just in case Snow worried. She remembers how she is about animals.]

Why do you keep an apple in a chest?

[Maria is trying not to be or sound alarmed, but a note of concern shows in her voice. What's with these weirdos zeroing in on the word 'apple'?

Video; UN: Filledwithsunshine

[onebadapple]

Oh! Because it's a magical poisonous apple that tempts anyone who looks at it to take a bite.

[givetheslip]

Oh. Of course.

[Of course.]

Why not throw it away?

[Maul was alarmed when he saw all the bruises on Snow. He wondered if the locals had turned hostile towards her again for whatever reason. But it looked more like this was just bad luck than anything else.]

What is a kobold?

Video; UN: Filledwithsunshine

[onebadapple]

It's a household spirit! They help with chores around the house and keep a home safe, lucky, and tidy if they are happy! But if they are mad, they might play pranks and tricks or just outright murder you!

[survivalthroughhate]

[Normally, that would have sounded like superstitious nonsense to Maul, but considering what he'd experienced living in this city a kobold sounded like it might very well be real. Murdering someone sounded like an extreme reaction to being mad, but then, Maul had done the same thing for ages up until recently so he wasn't one to talk.]

Well, is there something you can do to make them less mad? Appease them with your good cooking or something?

[threelayers]

So, I don't actually know what a kobold is? So I'm not sure how to help there.

But are you ok?

Text; UN: Filledwithsunshine

[onebadapple]

A kobold is the house spirit! They live in the fireplace and if they are taken care of and tended to, they protect the home, help do chores, and fill it with luck and wealth, but if they feel insulted or upset, they will cause nasty pranks and small injuries... or just outright murder you.

[wolfhunted]

What's a kobold? Is that like a hob?

[Robyn has never, as far as she can tell, actually had a hob living in her house, but she's heard stories about them back when she still lived in England. Apparently they're called by different names in other places, like brownies or silkies.]

I haven't had a good week either. It seems like most people haven't.

Video; UN: Filledwithsunshine

[onebadapple]

Well, I suppose that depends on what a hob is, dear. I'm afraid I've not heard of that being before.

Oh dear, you haven't either? I wonder what might be going on.

[ .. Chizuru is definitely.. trying to think of whether she knows what a kobold is..

The name definitely doesn't sound familiar to her. But even if she can't help with that-- ]

Um.. you know, I think this might not be a personal problem. My roommate was experiencing the same thing..

[ If the spilled milk is anything to go by. Scorpia seemed to be struggling with their own groceries and food in a very similar way! ]

Video; UN: Filledwithsunshine

[onebadapple]

Are they? Some have mentioned that they are having a hard time as well. I can't imagine all these kobolds being upset! Maybe it is a much bigger problem.

[Makoto had been pretty wrapped up in her own little world lately, now there was just her and Usagi left. She was terrified that one day she'd wake up and then there would just be one of them. Secretly she prayed if it did happen, that Usagi would be the one to be reunited with everyone. But a lot of her friends lately had been having a hard time as well too it seemed. Having difficulties with even the smallest of chores.]

It's alright, a lot of people are having a pretty bad week.

You've had it pretty rough lately, so try taking a little easier on yourself. Farmund might be upset about something else completely, or upset at how down you are. It may not be anything that you've done, so don't blame yourself.

If you want we could get some incense or try one of the rituals though to see if that will help with things.

Video; UN: Filledwithsunshine

[onebadapple]

Hello, Makoto dear. I hope you haven't been having a bad week, at least!

Well... maybe getting out of the house may be a good thing. But I'm not sure what rituals to try.

voice; un: clarke

[romancekiller]

It seems like a lot of people are experiencing that so I don't think you're alone in that.

What is a kobold though?

Voice; UN: Filledwithsunshine

[onebadapple]

So it seems! I would say that is a good many angry kobolds, but I don't think that is the case. I wonder if they're all warmbloods because then it would be the thing we have in common.

And a is a household spirit! They help with chores around the house and keep a home safe, lucky, and tidy if they are happy! But if they are mad, they might play pranks and tricks or just chop you into bits and murder you.
