[When the feed begins, there is a very unkempt Rhea surrounded by papers and some of the scrolls that were collected the month or so previously. It's obvious that she has overly strained herself as she rubs her left eye with a blackened hand from the ink she used.]

Hello, favored visitors. I apologize for my less... seemly appearance, but due to the events last month that likely left many of you thrown for a loop, it fell to me to find a means of reversing the effects and to translate many of the texts recovered to a language all can understand.

Last month began a cycle of the year in which the Goddess of the Wind and Aether's influence is strongest. According to our ancient texts- [She picks up one of the scrolls of paper she wrote on.] "The Lady of Aether ist much a trickster in nature, and blesses our mortal beings the power of transformation."

[After setting it down, she continues.]

To those who were amongst the Transformed last month, she chose you much like she had chosen me as a child. This form given you is capable of being shifted between with a proper conduit, such as the mask a few of you have seen in my office.

[She bows her head... and promptly dozes off by accident.

Oops.]

[So hello everyone, you get to see a giant, clothes-wearing, standing upright talking dog today. Life here may have gotten a tad stranger. But he's out in the city, waving to the device, as happy as can be.]

So this is how it works! Never did understand how these thing-a-ma-bobs go... That's more Chip and Dale's style. But now that I know what I'm doing, I figured it was time I said hello ta everyone here!

My name's Goofy! It's nice ta meet all of ya! I heard that we all gotta touch in order to keep up the energy, so don't you worry! I love a good hug! Iff'n you ever need a boost, here I am!

Aw, I sure wish hugs and hand holdin' could be used ta save worlds more often.

I am looking for America. Perhaps you know him as Alfred. Has anyone seen him or Canada lately? I just popped by both of their flats and found them empty. Has America shown up for work?

There isn't much fanfare in this posting, even with the official notice on the top. Actually, there's something almost stark in its simplicity. Just basic text and a blinking cursor on a black background, that slowly loads up into a full message:

Local and guest alike.

Several months ago the city experienced a disruption in the form of a transmission hacking of an official feed; as many of you reading this are aware. We have since been reviewing the data and running decryption on the hijacking's interference, and have come to a conclusion on a location of the signal.

It is outside of the city walls, which now makes it necessary for us to enlist the help of those called to the city.

Be advised that the person is an unknown factor, and likely to be dangerous. In addition, the environment outside is hazardous as well, and should be approached with caution. Because of this risk, volunteers will be rewarded for their efforts. They will also be the first on the scene with uncovering answers that we all doubtless wish to discover.

Representatives from their respective departments will be available to answer questions, and impart necessary information. Given the nature of this task, there may be additional requests granted. However, they are only requests. The first and major goal in this is gathering information.

Fare you well, and may the Twins guard you while afield.

(ooc: There will be NPCs willing to answer questions watching this entry. However, some NPC responses may be slow due to time differences.)

Well. It looks as though my employer has gone missing. I suppose that means I'm out of a job.

...A lot of people seem to have disappeared, hm?

[Hi, Saeng Seong. Big pink eyes are staring at you. The sound of a little paw slapping the keyboard can be heard, and text shows up along with the video feed: ]

ijijeff0902

[The eyes draw back a little, and now you can see that they're (thankfully) attached to a little furry thing who appears to be trying to understand how the laptop works. It looks at the screen where the text has shown up and makes a questioning noise.

Mewtwo's telepathic voice comes through, sounding somehow distant, and weak.]

Stop...touching that.

[Espurr turns halfway and chirps indignantly. If you have a Pokemon or can somehow speak the language, you might figure out that it's refusing to stop and saying something about Mewtwo needing help. Earnestly, the little Pokemon gazes into the webcam and talks at it; again if you know Pokemon it's telling the audience that Mewtwo is sick and needs someone to help.

But even if you don't know what its saying, it's clearly distressed. Help a psychic cat out?]

Calling all mages and other magically-inclined people!

[Yeah, that's how she's starting this.]

I've been here for almost a year now, and I still only know the one spell I came here with. I'm still keeping up with my training, but a mage in training for three years who only knows how to cast one spell is pretty lame. I mean, there's reasons and all, but they're starting to sound more like excuses. I dunno if the magic I know is compatible with anyone else's, but there's no reason I can't try, right?

[Nodding into the camera, she grins.]

So I'm looking for a new teacher. I want to learn a flight spell, at the very least. And if it works out, maybe we can keep training together. I can even pay for the lessons if you want, whether or not it works out.

[A short pause, as she realizes she's forgetting something important.]

Oh yeah, right. My name's Yuna Akashi. Both of my parents were mages, I cast spells using incantations and a wand, and my elemental affinities are fire and wind. So there's that, if it helps. Anyway, if anybody's interested, give me a call!

[a few people might recognize those bushy brows when the screen turns on. England doesn't use the communicator often, but he's here now, looking almost sheepish, for some reason]

Ehm. Good evening, everyone. I would just like to let those of you I'm familiar with [they're called friends, England] know that I was finally able to procure a larger flat. If you'd like to visit me, I'm now living in 2-06 of Building 3, with my roommate, Gilbert...

Oi! That's Prussia! [Prussia is a guy who has been out and about a lot, but relatively silent on the network. He pushes England's face away, and takes up most of the screen] Guten Tag! [he sounds really cheerful]

Hey! [England shoves Prussia back. don't you shove me, jerk]

[shoves back] Everyone wants to see the awesome me!

This is my communicator! [grabs Prussia's ear and twists it]

OUCHOUCHOUCH! [trying to tug his ear away from England's grip] Let go!

Not until you learn your lesson! [TUUUUUUG] Idiot!

Autsch! [grabs England's wrist trying to pull it away from his ear] Let me go! Miststück! Verdammt! Let go! Not awesome!

[feel free to interrupt them, or they will go on like this forever, on the Network. because they are so mature. replies will come from either, or both?!]

Current Mood: anxious

[A face comes into view, an older gentleman, wearing a white lab coat over a flannel shirt. He's studying the screen with one part curiosity, one part confusion, and one part terror.]

[He clears his throat.]

Ah, hello. My name is Doctor Walter Bishop. I just arrived here, and I'm not quite sure where I am. I know I'm in Saeng Seong, but I ... I seem to have gotten turned around. I was heading toward the apartments, but now I'm in a market of some sort.

[It's hard to place his accent, though there are hints of Bostonian and possibly London.]

I would very much like to find my way home now, if I could find someone who will stop trying to sell me things long enough to point me in the right direction.

[His tone is full of annoyance, but it drops away to leave him vulnerable again. His eyes dart from the screen nervously, then back.]

Yes, I would very much like to go somewhere quiet now.

[Compared to his last network announcement America looks much healthier and far happier. He's sitting in his apartment as he speaks over the video feed. His pet goldfish are in a fish bowl behind him.]

I want to send out a thank you to everyone who supported me during my time in the hospital. I was released after recovery and questioning on a good note though it seems the reason for my collapse had nothing to do with Saeng Seong. I have been assured that Canada and the others were returned home safely. AHAHAHA! [Eye twitch. Yeah he still has his suspicions.]

[He clears his throat.] But on to another topic that I feel needs addressing...

Tell me I'm not the only one here who noticed that the closest thing they have to burgers in this world are sad pieces of flavored tofu between pieces of bread. All the beef you ever see is served as steak- hey I love my T-bone but really there are no true American hamburgers here.

I intend to change that! [He puffs out his chest.]

Starting today I'll be looking into locations and suppliers to start a gourmet burger joint here in the city. For all my fellow Americans, I hope to provide you with a little taste of home, and for the rest of you a taste of awesome!

Eventually I'll need employees, and I'm extending an invitation first to my fellow visitors to consider working for me. If you're interested let me know what your experience and skills are.

I'm sure this burger joint will be a great opportunity for us to meet the locals and find out more about them and their city. [This is followed by a very obvious wink wink nudge nudge.]

[Irene turns on the video feed, and while she looks just as put together as ever, her office looks a bit messier than usual – you can see her desk in the background, covered with notes and unorganized papers…which is pretty normal for a desk, really, just not for Irene’s desk. Has she been distracted?

She seems to be in a very good mood, though! Her smile looks more genuine than her usual calm, customer service face.]

Everyone, I wanted to ask you a few questions. Now, we have a lot of holidays here in Saeng Seong. Several of you were here for our last festival, and we’re going to have another one coming up at the end of this month… [oh!] which I’m not sure we’ve notified you about yet, but we’ll have more details later.

Our city – our world - has a long history, but I’m also sure that your worlds do, too. I guess what I’m trying to say is that I’m curious – what are some of the important traditions from your worlds? What holidays do you celebrate?

[She was going to end the video there, but she stops, reconsidering.]

On another note, regarding the fall festival I mentioned earlier, we’re currently open to suggestions if you all have any. I’ll be keeping track of comments here myself, and I can pass on information to the committee.

[the entry starts with Draco suddenly leaning away from the stationary screen, looking relatively bewildered—and not looking at the camera, because he doesn't know what that is or where to find it. he leans back forward, observing the screen, and gives it an uncertain little tap. he mumbles, a little.]

Is it working, then?

[he rolls his eyes and sighs.]

Feel like a sodding idiot... Well, here goes.

[and, unsure if this is properly doing its thing or not, Draco just hopes that it's working so that he's not literally talking to a wall. Draco seems to decide looking at the screen is probably the best course of action, as he talks—so to those viewing him, his eyecontact isn't direct, but hey, it's not too off!]

Some of you've already met me; my name is Draco Malfoy. I'm a somewhat recent arrival for this embarrassment of a city.

[and, as is characteristic of his house, Draco gets straight to business.]

I heard this was probably the easiest way to contact people conveniently, since there's no other option. I'm looking for a partner—someone to rely on when I start to get ill.

[he prays people get his meaning.]

That said, besides obviously helping the health of whoever steps up to the task, you won't be doing this for nothing. I'm a wizard—I know magical abilities aren't incredibly uncommon around here, but there's a fair bit of magic that can be incredibly convenient in the—[Draco half scowls, half winces,] domestic scheme of things, I guess...

Anyway—a simple exchange of information, such as where we're living or places we frequent, and trust enough to find one another as necessary is all I ask.

...It is interesting to see that our efforts do significantly alter the city. If you have not been to the new district yet, I would recommend it. It is an enjoyable walk.

However...is it not curious that the city has places that clearly have been inhabited before, yet are inaccessible - even to the natives - now? Before our arrival here, how were these areas powered? Why has it changed so that we must be the power source?

...there is also an animal shelter there. I wonder if the animals here are restricted by the energy problem, as well...

[ The feed starts with a rather disgruntled looking Swiss, and you could see he is -rather proudly- showing off a watch on his wrist. He looked proud, and... it felt like a good enough accomplishment to show everyone else, and it might have helped him sort things out in his mind. It didn't seem like he was getting out of here anytime soon, so he might as well make use of his time here, right? ]

I could make another one of these if you payed enough for it? [ Making use of his time obviously meant catching up on lost money. With that out of his system, he put down his hand, voice becoming more serious. ]

On another note- I would appreciate it if all of my fellow nations were to come to my apartment, that being 2-04 in Building 2 at 9 am tomorrow? I will have to apologize to my neighbors for not informing you sooner but this is urgent. I want to... [ A pause. ] Discuss somethings with you all.

Ich wünsch Ihne e schöne Daag. [ With that, the feed clicks off. ]

(That being "Have a nice day" in Swiss German. <3)

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!]
