[There's a vaguely worried look on Lloyd's face when the screen turns on. He pauses for a moment, checking to make sure it really is on. Even though he's used these touchscreens a few times, this is the first time he's tried to make a public call.]

Hey, uh, has anyone seen a guy named Emil? About so tall- [He gestures.] -blond hair, green eyes? I can't seem to find him anywhere. I already thought about trying to call him with this thing, but I can't find his name in it, either. Maybe I'm doing something wrong...

[He's not exactly the best with technology.

Speaking of technology, though, once he hangs up, he's going to go kill some time playing video games while he waits for people to reply. Anyone passing through the first floor of building one might spot him on a couch with a controller in hand.]

[ Finally having mastered the art of the communication screens properly - admittedly, it took her a little while to work out the difference between answering someone else and making your own video - Hermione has a determined look on her face. She has a few pieces of paper held in her arms, close against her chest, protected by the large hardback book behind them. If anything, she looks like a very upset, if not frustrated, librarian.

After double checking that the video is on, that she's broadcasting and that she doesn't look as nitwitted as she thinks she does, she musters herself and begins to speak. ]

Hello, everyone. My name is Hermione Granger. [ Okay, now she looks a little more nervous. She just wants to ask questions, she was a professional at that. ] I was wondering if I could ask a few things, if that's alright with anyone watching.

[ She takes a deep breath before she tugs out one of her papers. ]

I was wondering if anyone knew about the lasting effects of our, um, illnesses, and how long they take? What sort of side-effects can I expect? I've heard a few things, but I'd like a solid basis of comparison just to be sure. Also...

[ Well. This part is... Awkward? Yes, awkward, that's a good word for it. ]

Has anyone else... Read about my life? In books? It's just - I don't remember agreeing to any sort of publication...

[ She sighs, lifting a hand and rubbing her eye gently. She's tired, frustrated and hasn't really slept with all the research she's been attempting. ]

If anyone could help I would appreciate it, very much. Thank you.

[ The second time around, these terminal things are a little easier to figure out. Zack still hasn't gotten the hang of their finer workings (see: anything other than Record and Send), but at least he's past the fifteen minute delay stage.

And he hasn't smashed anything - there's that. Technically, he's still in debt for the last computer he touched. But that's beside the point. ]

I didn't think it'd be this hard to find a decent weapon shop around here. They're usually front and center, y'know? [ Right next to the Items Shop and the Inn, generally. This is very basic city planning. ]

But I probably should've guessed. There's not exactly a lot around here to fight... [ Which is weird, and makes life a little boring - but it definitely isn't a bad thing. He shrugs, flashing the screen a lopsided smile. ] So what I'm saying is, if anybody out there's had better luck, I wouldn't mind a recommendation or two. I can't be the only one who wound up here unarmed, right?

Oh, yeah, and uh... [ He runs a hand down the back of his neck, looking around indecisively (as if that's doing anything to hide the faint hint of color climbing in his suddenly uncomfortable expression). ] If somebody wouldn't mind holding my hand for a while, I'd appreciate it, too. I kinda let that get away from me.

[Today on the network, there is a man with long blue hair. Ordinarily a grouchy fellow, today he looks calm and thoughtful.]

...So. We're all told when we get here that we're needed in order to provide power for a world in crisis, a world that can't survive any other way. We're drawn here from many worlds, across time and space, for that purpose: in order to keep this world alive until such time as it can sustain itself.

My question to you is this: what does your world use as power? My world has a great tree which produces energy known as mana, upon which all things rely to live. And indeed, we've only recently managed to end a prolonged crisis regarding the death of that tree and the need to sprout a new one. The actions that we took in the interim, to keep our world alive, could only have been regarded as desperate.

Have any of you faced similar crises in your own homes? What happened, and if it has been resolved, how?

And one other thing.

[Here, he narrows his eyes, and his tone grows colder.]

Why haven't the maintainers of Saeng Seong asked you about it, to gain from any potential knowledge you might have, rather than merely using you as a battery?

[video]

[The man on the screen is a bit tall, if the camera angle is any indication. He is dressed in a tight navy uniform and a cape. Someone please tell him that Halloween isn't for another month.

He has a rather frightening stare, though. Maybe... tell him next time.]

I require a sparring partner. I use a sword and shield, but you can use whatever you're comfortable with. I know some magic as well.

[A pause.]

Meet me in District 2, in the small park at [intersection].

[He shuts the feed off after an awkward silence.]

maipokerface

[This is Mai, backlit by the daylight outside as she apparently uses a terminal in one of the districts. Her expression isn't quite so even and bland today. There's a fine sheen of sweat on her face and a flush to her typically pale cheeks that's anything but embarrassment.

From what one can see from the chest up, she's wearing what amounts to a tube top. It's a deep maroon in color and yes, she hunted everywhere for one that shade. If she's going to do this, she's going to do it in a color she likes.

Her voice sound distinctly annoyed.]

It's pretty sad when there's a heat wave that I can't stand. Not that I love the heat or anything but you'd think living in the Fire Nation's lands would give me some resistance to a heat wave like this.

[She bears no bones about running the back of one hand under her bangs as she mutters.]

Maybe I've been in Ba Sing Se way too long.

[And now she's quite literally fanning herself. If anything the poker face look is gone beneath her own wave of annoyance and discomfort.]

I'm sticking by the water until this heat wave blows over. If you need me, you know where to find me. I don't suggest looking for me though, not until it's a lot more comfortable.

Oh, hey - I bet it's working, this time!

[ To the technologically impaired, these terminals are a little daunting - who knew you had to take your gloves off to work a touchscreen? Not to mention the thought of hooking up to some nebulous and well-populated network. He may or may not have spent the last ten to fifteen minutes talking to nobody, slowly realizing he was talking to nobody, and then trying again to figure out how to get to the Help tab.

Anyway, it's definitely broadcasting, now. Maybe. Probably. He's not trying again if it isn't. (He might.) ]

Am I really talking to all the other, uh, visitors out there? I guess that's pretty handy. Though... It feels like I've been doing a lot of talking, lately, and not a whole lot of actually getting to know the people I'm stuck with. [ Which more or less translates out of polite doublespeak to: he's tired himself out trying to figure this place out one way, how about FAQ round #2? ] So I thought, why not just ask? A little old-fashioned, I admit, but... I've got nothing to lose.

[ He shrugs, smiling thinly. ] So tell me about yourselves, okay? Or your 'worlds,' or whatever. And just 'cause it's no fair if I don't start, I'm Zack. I used to wanna travel, when I was a little younger. [ A pause, and a little more genuine humor leaks into that smile. ] I guess I sure got my wish, huh?

[Irene appears on the terminal screen, looking a little bit tired. Her trademark smile is in place soon enough, though.]

Hello, everyone.

It's come to my attention that a number of you are concerned because of the disappearances that have been going on lately. I'm here today to reassure you - everyone who disappeared is safe. They're been sent back to their worlds for the time being.

The reason is that a number of people started showing signs of extremely fast energy drain - quick enough that they would have died within a couple of hours if left unattended. We returned them all for their own safety.

Right now, we're working on trying to figure out why only some people have been affected by this rapid drain. We hope to have more information for you soon.

Also, thank you all for your help in re-opening the Third District. For those of you that may have been wondering, opening the district was the cause of the power outages early in the month; for that reason, we're going to hold off on opening any other districts for the time being, until we're sure that the power levels are sufficient.

That's all for right now. Keep in good health, everyone.
