etraya[The focus of the video feed, when it begins, is...a very big dog's nose. Okay, it's not that big, it's just close to the camera, only pulling back for a more to-scale look at the dog attached to it when Superman's slightly exasperated voice speaks up.]
Don't sniff the camera! Krypto! Sit!
[ The camera follows the white, scruffy dog in a cape as he pulls back and turns to look toward the off-camera voice. The dog darts to the side, the camera following, just to see him lunging open mouth with his tail wagging at an ankle, intent on nipping, taking hold, and then tugging, all while evidently in play mode. ]
Krypto! C'mon, boy! I got something for ya!
[ And that would be one particular Superboy! shaking a bag of dog treats for the pup to come and have as a means to give his dad a bit of a break. Even so, he's definitely laughing a little at the sight.
When Superman (dressed in full uniform, including a very similar/much larger red cape) comes into view, he looks...somewhat less thrilled about the dog, even if he's still smiling.]
Hi. So...we have a dog now. This is Krypto. He's got a few behavioral challenges we're working on. I wanted to let people here know so that in case he chews up anything that belongs to you or is otherwise a bother, you should let us know and we'll take care of it.
[In the background, Superboy is getting knocked over (and then getting slobbered on) by Krypto, who seems pretty strong for a dog, wow. Superman smiles a very tight smile, looking directly into the camera with a sort of weird intensity for what amounts to an FYI.]
Just thought people should be aware.
[There's a quiet off-camera chuckle from Lois Lane, who is indeed the cinematographer for this little dog PSA.]

Oct. 24th, 2025 10:42 amusedhuntersmark posting in etrayaHello, fellow people of Etraya. For those that don't know me, my name is Lady Vex'ahlia de Rolo. I'm sure that some of you have spoken with my brother, Vax'ildan, who has been here for a while. I apologize for not introducing myself earlier to you all, but he's the nicer twin.
That aside, I do know that there was a message by some doctor lately about therapy, but I don't know that that will work for everyone. I do have another idea and I've spoken to another doctor — Doctor Romano, I believe — about something a friend from home called a support group.
If you're interested in talking to others who have gone through a rather great deal back home as people who have been forced to save your world, I believe that speaking with like minded people might do us all a world of good for our mental health. I don't have any sort of medical training, but I have fought literal dragons and a lich attempting to become a god. And a vampire.
I believe meeting once a week might be a good idea, but I've no clue what sort of place would be good to use. Is there some sort of central area that we all can reach fairly easily?
Also, if someone who is an actual medical profession with training would like to conduct this, please contact me privately.

Oct. 23rd, 2025 11:24 pmtaxevasion posting in etrayaSo is this like Reddit, or more like Facebook? Can I change my username? Kind of weird it didn’t ask me to set up a password. What if someone steals someone else’s earpieces? Would they be able to post with their account? What if I want to make a second account for… you know. Sideblog reasons?

AWS outage

dw_maintenanceDW is seeing some issues due to today's Amazon outage. For right now it looks like the site is loading, but it may be slow. Some of our processes like notifications and journal search don't appear to be running and can't be started due to rate limiting or capacity issues. DW could go down later if Amazon isn't able to improve things soon, but our services should return to normal when Amazon has cleared up the outage.
Edit: all services are running as of 16:12 CDT, but there is definitely still a backlog of notifications to get through.
Edit 2: and at 18:20 CDT everything's been running normally for about the last hour.

Oct. 14th, 2025 11:16 pmrestingstitchface posting in etraya[On the latest feed: a man with combed hair, a clean face, a mismatched suit and a pair of rimless glasses. Video is streaming from an office where one might spot a painting of an anguished man. He closes his eyes and fixes his lenses on his nose, looking away while leaning forward. His preference is for messaging, but today he is showing his face. He inhales in a calm and controlled manner. Facial cues encourage trust. He prefers to remain unobserved, but this should encourage a positive impression.
Unless you’re Batman, apparently.]
Well, that was a terrible couple of weeks.
In any case, my apologies for the intrusion. I was managing the aftermath and hesitant to reach out until today. I have nothing further to add except that I understand you might feel nervous. But if you resist those feelings, you will have to face them again, and when they catch you…
[He swallows his sentence and focuses on his reason for posting, grounding himself in the present moment by inhaling.]
Back home I treat people for support with their mental health. I had excellent resources there but here I can offer nothing but a listening ear. Perhaps you would like to take me up on that? It’s not like you need insurance and sometimes it’s good to talk.
Feel free to contact me. I'm here to help.

Chirper
Oct. 13th, 2025 10:03 ametrayamods posting in etrayaWelcome to our bi-monthly CHIRPER post!
There are a few ways to interact with CHIRPER:
- Characters receive a notification to please fill out the form, which is fully optional. There is a character requirement of two characters per answer field. This is to discourage leaving the spaces blank.
- When forms are not filled out, they can be filled out by the companion bots of Etraya, or by other characters on behalf of their friends! This includes the Q&A section.
- Characters can either like or dislike others' CHIRPER profiles. These responses are public.
- This is voluntary on an OOC basis; if the character doesn't have a profile completed by themselves or anyone else, nothing shows up for them on CHIRPER.
- For those who do post a top level, CHIRPER profiles are worth five extra points regardless of if they are put up willingly by the character themselves. These five extra points do apply to the 25 maximum per month.
Please feel free to switch out any of the Q&A questions with those listed here!
**This is a fixed version of the code, sorry about that!
