[ When the feed turns on this time around, Spain's wearing his fake glasses and pretending to be a reporter once again. He delivers the news that no one wants to hear and apparently has nothing better to do. ]

Who likes tomatoes? [ He pauses as if waiting for a response. ] Who likes parties? [ Another pause, still smiling. ] Who likes throwing tomatoes at other people during a festival? [ A very short pause. ] I see we have the majority! And it's been at least a week since our last party and with La Tomatina right around the corner at my house, my cohort Davesprite and I propose La Tomatina 2.0! Tomatoes are in shorter supply here than I'm used to so you'll have to bring your own but pack a lot and wear your bad clothes because things get messy!

[ He smiles at the camera and pauses briefly, holding up this piece of paper. ]

See this man? He is a scurvy dog who goes by the name Arrrrrrthur KirkLAND HO! We are here to have a poll. What is more attractive between his eyebrows and...

[ He stands up and shamelessly poses so that all the camera can see is this shot. ]

...my completely manly and not feminine at all backside? Your opinion is crucial for science!

Gracias and have a nice day!

--ing working right yet? Gawds.

[Severa peers one eye far too close to the terminal camera before pulling away and- upon realizing that it's recording- makes a slight, frustrated noise before huffing out a 'finally!' and crossing her arms.]

Okay look, I'm not going to waste any time. Not everybody here is the touchy-feely type and frankly, it's a little obnoxious to try and make us be anyway. But a lot of us here don't mind a fight, right? And some kinds of fighting require a lot of touching- usually between fists and faces but hey. Occupational hazard, right?

[She shrugs, gnawing on her lip slightly. She's going to continue of course, but part of her is still afraid that her suggestion will seem stupid. But it's the best she's got and better to get out with it than just think it to death.]

So why not keep ourselves sharp and fill up on the touching quota by having a big sparring practice in the mornings or something? It's sure more productive than complaining about how you don't want to hug anyone, and it's good for getting frustration out.

Any takers?

How about that, huh? Looks like you can actually be sent outta this place. If you're a favorite, maybe.

So how do you think they pulled it off? The people who left. Think they filled some quota?

[Badou's got his hair tied up in a ponytail, leaning over the counter next to a cash register. He's leaning his chin on the heel of his palm, elbow pressed against the table. He's not smoking, but he is quietly chewing gum. Regulations. :| He thinks he looks like a cow. And he kinda does, with how indifferent he looks.

Anyone who knows him and looks closely enough might see that he's not in the same spirits as usual. He's quieter, more thoughtful, and his eye won't meet the camera.]

Here's another question. Would you go back home or stay if you had the choice?

action;
[Badou will be manning the cash register at a small convenience store in the Third District. Anyone is free to stop by--use the bathroom, try to steal something, anything you want!]

[Technically, the Pokemon had arrived with the others on the 18th, but he had done his best to remain inconspicuous and had slunk away soon after receiving the welcome letter. Feel free to have seen a giant cat monster skulking about in the corner and flying off, but there's no indication that this message is from the same individual. He'd rather keep his face off the network for now.]

How simple life would be if I were unable to feel empathy. Even when I have been taken forcibly from my home and given absurd demands...

But no matter.

I have many questions, but I imagine my fellow captives have little in the ways of answers. So I will ask for your opinions instead.

What do you think of nonhumans? I have seen a surprising amount here that are clearly of other species. It intrigues me...

missleadingquestions

So, I guess we're kind of stuck here, huh?

[Maya's sitting in the apartment she was assigned to, cross-legged on the bed.]

It's not so bad. But, uh, I kind of need a favour--

if anyone ever sees a lawyer with spiky hair like this-- [She mimes a mimic of Phoenix's spikes]-- or a little girl with clothes like mine, let me know, okay?

They're basically my bro and sis.

[She moves as if to end the transmission before remembering--]

Oh! Right! I'm Maya Fey.

[Akihiko is standing in front of a terminal, musing for a few minutes on what he wants to say to the others. After he makes up his mind, he touches the screen to access the network.]

Hey, everyone. Listen up!

You all know what we have to do. Being stubborn about it is just gonna get you killed, so don’t even bother wasting your time. We don’t have to hang off of each other all the time! Stick with your friends, or just go shake someone’s hand every once in a while. This energy problem affects everyone, and there’s no sense in making things worse.

[He’s not happy about being stuck in some foreign city either, completely cut off from home, but there’s a mission to complete here. The sooner they get it done and over with, the sooner they can all go back home. Right?]

So, c’mon, guys! [Akihiko lifts his arms and punches one fist into the opposite open palm, while maintaining a confident look on his face.] Let’s help each other out, okay?

paraclete

[Kaworu is sitting at a terminal, again in the common room of his building, and he seems as content as ever. He's also... somewhat poorly dressed, bearing a lovely array of colors which just don't go together. Dark greens, mild oranges, a random smatter of beige... He has what looks like a purple handkerchief tied around his upper arm, too. Kaworu, please.

He says, easily,] Good afternoon. For anyone listening, I wanted to pose a question. I've been enjoying the media center here; it is a good source of wonder. In particular, I've been very pleased with the music that I've found. Though, something's stood out to me: there is no music that I am familiar with from where I came from. Given the great prominence of Bach and Beethoven and Handel, even after hundreds of years, it's very certain that this place is wholly separate. More importantly, [in his opinion,] the only way I can reconnect with that music now is to reminisce on it myself. Or to play some of it myself. Further into town, there's a music shop which houses instruments, and they've indulged me a few times. Still, I've found immeasurable joy in experiencing the new music this place has to offer.

What I'm wondering, then, is if any of you - from different places, since there seem to be so many - have any songs you'd like to share. I'd be pleased to learn them. If you'd care to sing, I think it would be good. It would bring great happiness to all of us, isn't that so?

[And he seems so serene, yet - at the same time, earnest - that he must really believe that such an activity will bestow enlightenment upon these poor kidnapped masses.

Ah, a thought.] That's right. Kaworu may see this as well. If so, Kaworu, why don't we go down and play something together sometime soon? We should talk.

fierily

[ It’s been almost four weeks since Asuka was brought to this place. After speaking to some of her, well… acquaintances from back home, it was safe to say that the fiery redhead wanted absolutely nothing to do with them. She wanted nothing more but to return back home. She wanted to get back into her Eva and resume her duties as the second child.

But how could she? This place was a prison, a place where she was forced to do things. It was Asuka’s hell on earth.

And because of her current feelings for her ‘friends’ and for this place, Asuka had locked herself in her apartment and kept away from any and all human contact. This of course led the girl to fall terribly ill and she was now deep within the 4th stage.

So the feed starts up and as video became to bed, you will see the girl in bed, wrapped around blankets and whatever else she could find around in her apartment. ]

This stupid fever won’t seem to go away… [ Her voice crack as she finally spoke out, her dull lifeless eyes shifting slowly at the camera. ]

There’s no way in hell I’ll do what they say…! But, I’m sure someone found a way around this cuddling bullshit? There must be a cure…? If so, please tell me.

[ And with that, she rolls over and turns her back to the audience. Her shoulders shriving. ]

I don’t think I can take this anymore…

So, funny story.

[ Never a good way to start a conversation. From the sheepish expression on her face, this is clearly no exception. She even laughs a little nervously. ]

There's this great classic movie called King Kong that apparently nobody has heard of because as it turns out I really am in another universe and not just dreaming or high as a kite.

( Cut for a synposis of the 1933 King Kong movie. Doodles not included. )

[ Finally she sets the drawings aside and gives the camera a sort of helpless smile. ]

The damsel in distress was played by a talented woman named Fay Wray. She is not me. That was a joke that nobody got. Ha ha, joke's on me. I'm Stephanie Brown. Hi. [ She waves nervously. ] And also sorry.

[ Private to Megan Morse/M'gann M'orzz ]

Still want to go shopping with me? [ She looks wryly resigned, yet still hopeful. She has no idea how people are going to react to her reveal. Hopefully the doodles have softened the blow. ]

[ Private to Barbara Gordon ]

[ And finally, a cheeky grin. ] I totally had you going though.

((ooc: had meant to put this up a few days ago but I had to clean a virus off my PC; sorry about that!))

[Asuka - the eyepatch'd one - comes onto the screen... and looking none too good. Pale, bags under her eye and shivering despite a blanket and a heavy jacket. Yeah. Even her voice is hoarse:]

Anyone wondering about that side effects thing... well, it's pretty fucking confirmed. I'm about three weeks in; haven't touched anybody. Said I would a while ago; experiment.

Fever, headaches, sleep disruption... I think I'm starting to hallucinate. I'm calling it off.

They're not lying about that.

_{[When the feed comes on the network is graced with the image of a plain looking teenage boy. Hello Saeng Seong meet Shinji Ikari. He doesn't look like much and he seems rather timid. His voice too is soft when he speaks, with a hint of shyness coating each and every word.]}

Um...Hello. My name is Shinji Ikari. I was brought here like many others to this city and I have to admit it was pretty disorientating...

_{[He trails off a little, blue eyes looking off to the side for a moment before he finds his focus again.]}

Ah, but that's not what I wanted to ask about. I know now that many people here are from vastly different worlds and even people who you think you know may not really be who you think they are. I know there are a lot of people too who are really anxious to get home, and for good reasons but...is there anyone here who isn't keen on going home? I know I don't really want to go home...

_{[There's another small pause as a slight look of worry overcomes him. Clearly thinking of "home" isn't the most comforting thought to the boy. He snaps out of it quickly enough, however.]}

One last thing...there was a sale on kidney beans at the grocery store and Kaworu-kun bought far too many cans of them, so I was going to make chili with them all. There's going to be far too much for the two of us to eat by ourselves, so if any of the other pilots would like some, I'd be happy to share.

That's all, I think. Thank you for your time.

_{[And with that there's a small little bow before the feed ends.]}

[ Since he hasn't touched anyone yet, Kaworu is feeling the effects, but he tries to keep going as if it doesn't bother him too much (because it doesn't). Rather, he is much more curious about everyone else, to be honest.

And that's what this post is about, really.

His voice is gentle and soft, as always, and though you can't tell, he is smiling. ]

Hello. I have a question, to those who don't mind answering. If possible, would you like if your friends and the people you care about were here? And to those who do have someone, are you glad you are not alone?

[ AND for those who don't want to answer philosophical questions, Kaworu has another question ]

And since I'm still learning about what I'm allowed to do in this place, I would also like to ask. What do you enjoy doing on your free time? [ he wants to learn, but where to start ]

reactivate

[Olivia is looking very uncomfortable on the screen, not even making eye contact with it. She looks like she wants to say something, but she doesn't. It takes a few more seconds for her to start speaking.]

I, I was wondering if... [Oh no it's too much. Think of all the people that are watching her! She ends up covering the camera, so only her voice can be heard now.] I'm sorry, but I was wondering if anyone here likes to dance? I'm not very good, but maybe practicing together will help with the, umm... touching we have to do.

[There's an awkward pause before she speaks again, and it's much faster.] I have something to do I should go now!

[That icon is exactly what you're seeing on your communicator screen.]

First person to break me out of this hospital gets twenty bucks off my cash card.

[Doesn't matter why he's in there or why he needs to stay. He's desperate. Get him out of there. Please?]

While we're at it, anyone figuring out a way to get out of here in general? Escape pods? Tunnels, maybe? Lay it on me. I think three days is enough to tell me I'm not just going through withdrawals.
