[Finally, after months of text, there's a voice coming from Mewtwo's post. It's a strange voice, not in the tone but in the way it's transferred from the network directly into the mind. Telepathy!]

I have been asked to relieve the suffering of others... [Actually, the tone of the voice is a little strange as well. That is, he sounds somewhat surprised, in a dazed state.] The voices of the shadows have quieted...I must have been given some kind of gift.

[Hesitation, because this is not something he normally does. He's not actively a hero. But...well...]

...If you need relief...if you need the shadows to be chased away...I am available.

( Darkness there and nothing more )

doc_holi

[Doctor Holiday appears on the screen in the lounge of her apartment complex (Building 2, if you must know) and she looks rather worried. Every now and then, her eyes will glance off screen.]

I know this sounds ridiculous, especially for the time of year, but have any of you-?

[She turns around quickly, before slowly looking back to the screen.]

I think I'm just really paranoid or... someone's trying to prank me? I don't know, I just-

[She turns again... Then quickly glances back to the screen.]

Am I the only one seeing things?

[Holiday realizes how crazy she seems in that moment...]

[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.

[For once, Ataru isn't wearing his usual camouflage gear. Though it's impossible to tell from the shot alone, he seems to have picked up some gym-wear, from a pair of sweatpants that were presumably supposed to be loose to a t-shirt that seems to be a size or two too small and which bears a logo that may be familiar to anyone who's visited the new district since its reopening.]

Recently I started a small part-time job at the District 4 gym as a personal trainer and attendant; if anyone wants to get fit or try something new, I'd be only too happy to help.

[There's no escaping that he looks the part- not with all that muscle on show- but he also sounds it now, his calm, quiet voice taking on an almost teacherly authority.] My specialty is wrestling, but I can also teach basic self-defense classes for all experience levels. For those looking for an experienced sparring partner... [His eyes glint almost playfully.] I think I could put up a fight for most of you.

At any rate, it's a very hands-on activity and may help fulfil any contact requirements you may be lagging with. Besides- it's always good to be prepared for anything, isn't it? [He pauses, preparing to end the feed.] If you're interested I'd be glad to hear from you here, or you could ask for Kinnikuman Soldier at the gym. Just "Soldier" is fine, too. Hopefully I'll be introducing myself in person to a few of you soon.

[ooc: also available for action threads if anyone wants to stop by!]

[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.]

brainiest

[ 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.

self_replication

[Locked to Saeng Seong NPCs]
Was not the first time enough? Honestly one would think you have little regard to the work I was doing back in my own world. Nonetheless given I did not obtain a chance, would it be at all possible to reconfigure my laptop yet again for network access?

[And by not getting a chance, he means he was most unamused with the situation but had other things on his mind. Like making himself scarce for reasons known only unto him that are directly related to his paranoia. At least it's eased. For now.]

[Open to everyone else]
One would assume they need not send me home then drag me back for some unknown, mostly likely arbitrary reason. Surely the first arrival was adequate enough and I fail to see why another was required. Unless they decided to be funny; in which case I assure you I am not laughing and the only one who might find this even remotely funny is Xigbar. I had vital work and research I was attending to and I do not appreciate being interrupted! [Most unamused face ever. He is not a yo-yo!]

I don't suppose any of you have returned home only to do the welcome drivel all over again?

[And now for an even more disgruntled look because. Reasons. That involve one of his least favourite activities.] ...I also require either regular handshakes or one hug a day. I have no desire to repeat what happened before I left and as much as I would rather avoid it, it seems the physical contact is not optional.

favored_four_eyes

Sooooo, has anybody seen Kaworu or Shinji around here lately? I know Shinji is the type to keep to himself, but it's just sort of weird for the two of to up and disappear into thin air.

[Mari sighs a little, a bit frustrated at the prospect of losing a friend or two to the seemingly random will that guides who goes home and who stays trapped in this strange place .]

Makes me wonder if this place has something against Eva pilots... [She laughs, a mixture of playful kidding mixed with a dash of uncertainty.] But oh, if anybody needs me, I'll be at the mall for the rest of the day working! Feel free to stop by and bother me.

[Action]

[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...

( Action option can be found here! )

ocd_reaper

[Kid's in casual clothes, trying to cool off, because wow is he drenched in sweat.]

If anyone has any good ideas on how to cool down, I'd appreciate hearing them. Ordinarily my body isn't bothered by heat or cold, but something seems to be wrong. I've tried a cold bath and ice so far, and I don't know any other ways since I've never been in this position before.

[And have some muttering as he goes to end the feed.]

Is this how humans feel when they first get to Death City? When I get home, I'll have to suggest to Father about adding more public water fountains or something...

dragoncrest

[The rat woman who may have been seen atop various buildings across the city appears on the screen, sans hat, looking unsure for a moment before appearing to realize the feed is working correctly. She clears her throat quietly before speaking in a serious manner.]

I have a question for you all, if you would be so kind as to answer.

There seem to be many worlds represented in this city, but I have noticed that there are many from a planet called Earth. I am from the planet Gaia, but I have yet to meet anyone from my world, be it the same or an alternate version.

So my question is: What world are you from, and is it similar to this place we've found ourselves in? I would like to see if there is any correlation between the home worlds of people brought here.

readytobe

[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...

[ The feed turns on and is faced on Spain sitting in the common room of his apartment building. He's looking rather official and important but it's all a facade so don't be fooled. Considering the short amount of time he's been here, he has already mourned being ripped from his home and come up with a buenísima idea for how to bide his time while he is here. ]

Good afternoon citizens of-- [ ...this place has a difficult name to remember... ] --Hugville! Are you tired of being tired because you didn't get a hug today? But you're also tired of seeking out a hug or befriending people enough to earn a hug? Well, I'm here to tell you not to be tired!

[ He holds up a sign that he painstakingly and lovingly made himself. ]

That's right, amigos! Isn't it cute? I will give FREE HUGS to anyone who needs one! They work every time!

[ He smiles at the camera, hoping that a couple of beautiful señoritas or cute little kids will jump into his arms! It'd be worth the free price if Spain could rescue them from low energy! After a second of seeing his stupid, smiling face, the camera turns off. ]

If we're expected to provide power for their supposed energy system, then surely the least they can do is provide properly functioning generators. Perhaps they're expecting us to think it's our faults. It's a quaint attempt, I'll give them that.

I'm gathering research on the current status and progress of any residents here offering to share - and anything related to healing by touching or hospital experiences in particular. I'm not quite so willing to believe everything they've told us yet.

puckoff

[ The feed starts with a bespectacled face looking worriedly into the screen. He smiles when he makes sure it's working. ]

Oh, great- Hello everyone! Well, you know, they're kind of hard to miss, but I figured I'd ask the network here to see if anyone's heard anything about these power outages and flickering we've had going on. Kind of a bad time, eh, with the season it is. Miserable to be without air conditioning...

[ Laughing and tucking some hair behind his ear. Being on camera always made him a little nervous. ]

A-anyway, I thought the generator meet-up thing a couple weeks back was supposed to create more power...? I dunno, just figured I'd ask and get anyone else's thoughts on it. Hope it's not a bad sign, you know?

[The video option of the transmission will be used as an exhausted and sweaty individual will appear upon the screen. The first thing everyone will notice is the distance between the individual and the device used to transmit messages, it was clear that he was extremely close to the device as his hand is currently holding onto the top of the object for dear life -- he was using the phone booth as a way to keep himself steady and was currently having a difficult time breathing. He is rapidly breathing in and out, as though each breath might be his last. His gaze will look weak. It was clear that he was having a difficult time using the device as his focus does not seem, well, very focused. Actually, he is still wondering if the device was even working...

Once he was able to calm his breathing and uneasiness, he will offer a weak, but polite smile. It was clear from his gaze that he was currently helpless as he was in a later stage of the withdrawal sickness.]

Good evening. I apologize for unexpectedly taking much of your time by transmitting this message, but...I do not believe I will be able to speak at a more convenient time. [A short pause as he felt the dizziness take him over again. His smile will weaken even more as he takes another step closer to the device. At this rate, it feels as though he will lose his consciousness soon.] My name is Soushi Miketsukami. It has been almost three weeks ever since I have arrived to this... [He is still uncertain over if he was in a new country or city or continent all together.] ....quaint city. I am certain many of you are in the same predicament as myself. It is the reason that motivated me to finally speak because I wish to trade information....if you would like....

[But first, he needs to loosen a button from his white dress shirt. He really was feeling sick and even hot.]

How much has been found out over the situation? Like the reason for our sudden arrival? Or even the location of our current whereabouts? It is to my understanding that we were told over our mission was to be affectionate towards one another. Other information was not disclosed.... [And the nauseousness will return as he stops speaking for a moment, using his other hand to hold his head. How was he even able to stand after speaking so much? Much less get out of bed enough to leave his apartment, find a phone booth, and speak.] ...if you have any information to offer, then, if it is within your desire to share your knowledge, then I will be heavily indebted to you....especially if it will be the key needed to return home. [...] There is someone I need to return to...any help will truly....indeed....be greatly appreciated.... [Again, his expression will look a touch bit desperate, anxious, and lonely as he says the next line:] ...even if I do not deserve such a luxury....

[After a long pause as he ponders over his words, he will return his attention to the video transmission as he closes his eyes. Please pretend he is bowing!]

...thank you for your time....

[The transmission will end soon after.]
