[The feed cuts in inside Ramza's kitchen. He looks a bit... exasperated.]

I yield. I admit defeat.

[He moves aside slightly, and behind him- on his countertop- rests a rather complex kitchen appliance. the box is just barely peeking into the frame from the side, apparently recently opened.]

How in heaven's name am I supposed to make this machine work?

[A big blue eyes blinks in the screen before pulling back, revealing a green face with an orange face mask.] Huh....this thing working? [More staring and frowning and poking around] Laaaame. I don't think there's any videogames on this thing. Booooring!

Well just in case this thing is on....[He grins, spreading three fingered hands] Whaaaaat's up Saeng Seong? Michelangelo here!

So what kinda fun stuff is there to do in this city? I know we're stuck here but might as well have fun and enjoy it while we wait to go home right? [This was one of the only places where he could be out and about and as himself. He was damn well going to enjoy it!]

So....yeah! If there isn't a party we can make our own!

[The first time this happened was bad enough, but a second time? He was getting very tired of being tossed around by these people. But he would have to do something about that later, right now he needed to check on Bucky. He... he was here, he remembered that. The person he was going to start searching for with Sam was in this city.

It didn't take him long to find Bucky (and Tony). And wow. Those two were definitely something special. They owed him a big explanation for this.

After he made sure that those idiots were getting some sort of rest, Steve decided to toss something up on the network. He definitely knew how to use it and he needed to address some of the people here. Best and fastest way was to do this.]


Just lost another three days here. [He tried to look easygoing about it, but there was definitely some irritation in his now more modern features. His hair was a little shorter and he was actually wearing jeans with a non-plaid shirt.] And looks like I missed a whole lot while I was gone.

[Tony explained what happened, the malfunctioning of the suit. The fight. It was a big mess, but at least they were going to recover. A lot of his irritation disappeared at the thought and now he looked grateful as he continued to address the video.]

But wanted to thank those that checked up on Bucky and Tony, made sure they were okay. I wasn't there to help when I should've been. [Maybe it wasn't his fault, but he still felt responsible. However, he tried to push away that guilt for now and instead smiled a little wryly at the feed.] They're friends of mine that get into more trouble than they should. Can't look away from them for two seconds before they come back bloodied and bruised.

[Although, Steve wasn't really better. Probably worse, actually. But details.]

And if anyone wants to tell me their side, be happy to hear it.

[So after this, in which Tony's suit went crazy and tried to kill Bucky, and Bucky went crazy and tried to kill Tony, this guy here is pretty beat up. Bandages all over from knife wounds, bruises, he's just a mess. There's a particularly nasty bruise around his neck, because a certain cyborg assassin keeps trying to strangle him. However, his snark is (perhaps unfortunately) still entirely intact.]

Anybody ever tells you fighting a guy with a metal arm is fun, they're lying to you. Just saying. There's your PSA for the day, or ah. Whatever.

[His head tilts slightly, eyebrows scrunching into a more indignant glare. He starts to cross his arms, but winces when the movement hurts his ribs. He chooses to rest them on his desk instead.]

Anyway, speaking of weird shit, which one of you dicks broke my suit? It was fine, and now it's gone all dumbass-Skynet on me. Personally, my vote's on our oh-so-helpful scientist-hosts. They're catastrophically stupid enough to mess with my stuff. Where's that lady with a stick up her ass? Maybe it was her.

[After a talk with Diarmuid, Kit had decided that, while asking point blank what was going on would be too suspicious, there were ways to come at it in a way that could seem perfectly innocent. Especially coming from a child, who was known to be naturally curious in the first place.

Hence kit appearing on the network now, the picture of innocent curiosity.]


Hey, everybody!

There's something I've kinda been wondering about, and I was wondering if anybody knew. My friend Diarmuid, who's been here a lot longer than me, told me that the energy we've been making used to be used open new districts of the city. But that hasn't happened for over six months now, and I was just wondering if anybody knew when a new district would open up? Cause we have been making a lot of energy and all, so...

[She shrugged slightly, trailing off and leaving the obvious conclusion to the sentence unspoken.]

[A woman with short curly red hair appears on the screen, looking rather perturbed and cross.]

Dear native residents and newcomers, allow me to introduce myself. I am Dr Cyntia Law, head of the science division responsible for the technology you see around the city as well as the means that have brought us our most honored guests.

[She bows faintly, straightening to look directly into the camera.]

As of last night, we began to receive reports of what many locals report to be paranormal activity. Preposterous as the claims seem to a mind like myself, we have as of yet found any signs of a mechanical failure in the power systems of our otherwise closed community. While my staff continues to work on an acceptable solution to the problem, I urge all bodies to exercise due caution. If the more... superstitious lot are to be believed, there may be another force involved that we are as of yet unaware of. However, any able to assist in the capture of the recent graffiti and propaganda artisans will be rewarded to the best of ours and the welcome center's abilities.

[At that, there was a crash of something metal clanging to the floor.]

And for goodness' sake, will the owner of this demented feline please pick him up at the guest welcome center?

[...That is certainly a particular black cat named Banchou being picked up by an assistant.]

A shirtless woman covered in what look like tattoos with edges glowing green stood before the camera, waiting. Her eyes were bandaged and blindfolded, and her skin was starting to flake off like she had had a huge sunburn. The terminal she was using suddenly dinged and announced in a robotic voice that she could now speak for the camera, which she did.

"Hey, Saeng Seong. I've seen this done before on Earth, so why not? I feel really, really restless and I need to go exercise, but I can't see shit for now. I'm looking for someone to be my seeing eye d... person so I can go out and run. Anybody up to that?" She paused. "I'll owe you."

[surprise it's Tony Stark! For once he doesn't look dead tired, and he's not in the usual hoodie or jacket to hide the arc reactor. DUM-E is behind him, occasionally using his claw to pick affectionately at Tony's hair or shirt while he speaks, and Tony waves the bot away each time without a single pause. Clearly someone missed Tony while he was gone.]

Hey, so coming back here--it's like a pretty super bad trip. Am I right? Yeah? No? Anybody? I mean, I was gone for like a few days. And I come back and remember months? You know, I think I had a dream like that once, and that, kiddies, is why you don't drink vodka, rum, whiskey, and more vodka on the same night. Life lessons.

So apparently I missed my birthday somehow doing. Something, I don't know. [read: moping and being obsessive he shrugs it off, then makes a face like he's just had a minor epiphany] Wow, hey, I had such a great idea.

One of you should plan my birthday party. It'll be great, everybody likes parties. [he pretends to consider this for approximately .2 seconds] Yep, done deal. So who wants it? [Tony no]

So, I guess I'll get around to actually introducing myself, seeing as how we're all probably gonna be here awhile.

Hi there! I'm Fulcrum. Unlike most of you, I'm a Cybertronian. That means I don't have a shred of organic bits in me. I'm all metal, wires, and all that good stuff.

Now, I've only spoken to a couple of you organics, but I'd like to learn a little more about the rest of you. I haven't really interacted with too many organic species in the past, and now's my opportunity to learn more! If you're willing to share.

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.)

[See the camera turn on? See one linefacing teenager? Well, he may look neutral but to be honest, he's pretty worried about something. But what is it?]

This is going to sound odd but has anyone seen a black kitten with blue eyes and a red collar and bell? He has a habit of getting out of my apartment and into everything.

[And by everything, he means everything. He swore he saw him at work one day running around in the kitchen.]

If you see him, he goes by 'Banchou' and likes to purr a lot. Thanks in advance.



((OOC: And there is a log for kitty fun tiems. Feel free to say your character found him in odd places like a jar of protein or in a shower. It's encouraged.))

[Maybe you've seen them around town: Posters made of construction paper in varied colors, each with small drawings of cats, dogs, rabbits and reindeer all over the sides. But now whoever had been putting them up all over Saeng Seong had placed one against one of the video terminals and used a screencap function, effectively advertising in every medium this oh so mysterious person can think of. With the drawings and color reads the following:]

Need a special gift for Christmas, New Years, Birthdays or Just Because?
It's all good. The Black Condor Crafter is now taking commissions for:


-Clothing (Hats, scarves, gloves, oven mitts, aprons, etc)
-Dolls (Any person or animal from your world or theirs, any size)
-Accessories and Odds & Ends (Cozies, brooches, charms, necklaces, bracelets)


Cost? Price of materials only. Not here to make money off this.

Sound good? Leave a message on this channel, make it private. We can deliver to you or whoever it's made for.

Okay, wow- hi everyone!

[In the middle of a flurry of lace and fabric, Cupid pulls a safety pin from a pincushion and onto a dress form. She's had her mirror tablet hooked into the network and it's obviously settled on a bedside table from what's visible behind her. She waves cheerily before momentarily disappearing beneath some fabric to correct some draping before pinning it in place, then reappears with a thin ribbon coiling into her hair to settle her chin on her hand against her bed, smiling.]

So hey, I was in the middle of working up a holiday outfit and I realized- I hadn't seen hide or hair of any planning for a holiday party! And okay, granted I get that this place doesn't exactly seem very festivity-intensive at the moment, but hey! We can't expect them to accommodate every holiday, right?

So I was thinking...

[Her smile turns slightly impish- and hopeful.]

Would anyone want to go in on throwing a bash with me? We can even plan a Secret Santa and everything! What do you say?

[It will take some time for a voice to be heard as the transmission begins to record. Whoever was currently at the other side of the monitor, it was clear by the silence alone that they were currently having a difficult time finding the proper words to use for the message he wishes to offer to those currently listening to him. If anyone was at this point, that is.

However, after offering a deep breath and clearing his throat, a voice will finally be heard saying the following, trying his best to sound as hollow and professional as he can, but the sadness and loneliness can still be heard underneath it all.]


To those who have had the honor to meet and speak with her, Ririchiyo Shirakiin-sama, it brings me with a heavy heart to announce that she has returned home. [Another pause, another deep breath.] ...she is no longer within Saeng Seong's borders.

[After a few moments of silence, he will finally offer the following message in the most apologetic of ways.]

I apologize. I am deeply sorry to those who had spoken to her or befriended her. But rest assure, she is safe back in her world, under the protection of her beloved family. [Another pause.] It's all I can offer as reassurance...

[He will finally end it with the following:]

Thank you very much for your time. [Maybe he should add for formality's sake.] Have a wonderful day...

[With the recent temperature fiasco, Pilouette hadn't been paying attention and September kind of snuck up on her. Now with a particular day coming up, she's found that she's ended up with a somewhat...odd problem. Having found herself unable to figure out an answer on her own, she decides to turn to the network. ]

You all know how people can come here from different worlds and different times and stuff, right? Well, um...hypothetically. Say someone just had their birthday. Like, maybe a month before coming here. But only a few months after getting here, it's already their birthday again!

Do I...uh, they just keep being the same age and wait a whole year or should they say they're older now? Oh! But the year is different, too, isn't it? I wonder if that matters...I've been thinking about it all day, but it just seems like, so totally complicated...!

( at first, when they said intimacy was a way of survival, Ririchiyo found it difficult to accept. after all, the very idea of needing to touch someone just as a means to stay healthy sounded far too preposterous. however, that way of thinking began to change over the course of time for her health had seemed to of became worse the longer she went without touching someone. )

So they weren't lying after all. ( talking to herself, she sniffs. ) I suppose it shouldn't really come as much of a surprise, but if someone comes up to me and tells me that in order to stay healthy I need human contact, I would view it on the same level as a parent scolding a Hikikomori about how they need to go outside more before they are pulled inside their computer and trapped there forever.

That aside, how long is this 'cold' meant to last?

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!]

[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?
