[Stephen looks... less than pleased. He's searched the entire Sanctum and sent numerous calls and texts to Loki that all went oh so conveniently unanswered.]

If anyone's seen Loki, let him know I'm looking for him, since he's decided that not answering his phone is a legitimate tactic.

The younger one that lives in the Sanctum and made off with my cloak that is.

[Or what's left of it, anyways.]

And don't bother denying it, I have an eye witness to you rifling through my room.

[Aka he enchanted the mirror and it ratted Loki out right off the bat.]

apt666

[ A small, but genuinely-looking grin spreads across his face for a few moments as he greets the camera. But, his expression quickly drops into something serious, as if he has a real question to ask. Something important on his mind. ]

So I've been here a month and have learned a few interesting things.

[ He pulls out a notepad, and very pointedly puts it on his desk in front of him. There's scribbles, not legible to anyone watching, and maybe not anyone but him. He very pointedly made them for himself. ]

Most notably, that my world is rare in that when the apocalypse happened, humankind lost and were decimated. This leads me to a very curious question.

[ He picks up a pen, prepared to write. ]

For those of you who are from a world that managed to stop or dodge the apocalypse - Can you share how you did it, or how others did it - if you are aware? I'm curious to see how others managed it.

[ He taps his pen on the desk. ]

If you're not from a world with an apocalypse problem, tell me something interesting and unique about the world you come from. Whether it is a bit of history, the geography, languages, whatever it is that you're comfortable sharing.

timmers

[You can't see Tim, but you can hear the sound of leaves crunching as he deliberately walks around noisily in the area, livestreaming the feed of the abandoned amusement park.]

In case you haven't heard the news, it looks like people have started working on moving the inner wall out. I didn't even know there was an amusement park out here- you can barely see it from the city.

I went to check out the lay of the land. Once they're done, they're going to need a lot of help cleaning up.

So as the currently only community youth ambassador, here's an open call: I'm putting a group together to help out, and it'd be great if you can join us! The work's a lot more fun if you're with friendly people and we'll get the amusement park up and running a lot faster, just in time for the summer.

Here's the details of when we'll be starting and where. Let me know if you can fight or we need to make sure you have someone with you who can.

[ooc: (I'm updating links as I post) Uh so this is both IC and OOC since Tim is organizing it ICly. but if you are interested and want to plot it out with someone other than Tim who's also attending, feel free to mention it here: OOCpost.

I may be a bit slow because work, so hopefully you're also cool with backtags :'D. Intent is not only for your muse to interact with Tim but any others who may join in the logs. And also maybe start building a stable/static youth community group for all the cleanup and rehabilitation efforts (including things like handling the animal/stray community, any monster encroaching effort, and possibly social stuff like idk vidoe game nights since it IS a youth group, social support is important, etc.) ]

killthepast

[ Two network posts within a month of each other? From Kylo Ren? Must be a special occasion!

Anyway, Riverview's resident space goth is making a post today for business reasons, not tantrum reasons, even if he obviously appears troubled. But like, it's Kylo. He always seems at least a little conflicted, troubled, and/or angry. ]

I'm looking for new members to join the Prometheus Salvaging Team. [ He says that with some reluctance. THE TRUTH IS: he's got to fill in some gaps, particularly because he still can't actually go into the field again until he gets his medical clearance.

Thanks SOOOOO MUCH FOR SHOOTING HIM, John Sheppard! ]

The work will take you outside the wall on behalf of Prometheus Labs. You must have adequate combat and survival skills-- which you'll be tested on-- and the ability to follow directions. If you're interested, send me a message.

[ He starts to scowl a little, and adds: ] Serious inquiries only.

[ REBEL SCUM NEED NOT APPLY. ]

enfoldings

[ There's questions that have been burning in his mind for a while. This place has confirmed a lot of his theories, yes, but the fact of the matter is he still has a million more questions to ask and he's finally narrowed it down to a few. When he greets the camera it's with the ease of someone who has done far too many video conference calls, and he smiles brightly, his voice it's usual friendly tone. ]

Before I get into things, I should probably say hello, so: my name is Alex Murry, and back home I'm a theoretical physicist. Now--can I have a headcount as to who in their universe has some sort of faster than light travel? Also, how many people here are from a place that's not Earth?

Oh-- [ a brisk snap of his fingers ] --Is there anybody here who has the ability to teleport? If you're willing to talk about anything I've mentioned or things similar to it, I'd love to hear about it. [ Judging from how eager he is, it's genuine. ]

supersweet

So I just realized that I've been in this place for a year! Which is a super long time to be anywhere away from home, but it hasn't been all bad. I've gotten to meet people from all over various dimensions. I've seen a lot of magic and met a lot of aliens too.

I was kind of curious though. What kind of experiences have you had here? Anything super memorable and awesome? It'd be great to share that kind of stuff. Maybe it'll help some of the newcomers feel better about arriving here.

lykou

Hello. My name is Ryan. I found this image and wanted to share it.

(full size)
I would like to know what your name would be, and if it suits you. Mine does not, but I guess that's because my name is... already my name. Serious answers only please. I think this is a good opportunity to get to know some of you better, and maybe make some friends.

...speaking of which, it's my birthday, and if anyone would like to join me for some sweets, I'd appreciate the company.

Thank you.

holds_up_walls

[So Lyle clearly doesn't have enough to do with his life because tonight he decides to post. So it is focused on him at the moment, but there are some rather large, fairly nondescript boxes behind]

I don't know why I didn't think of this before really. I was trying to think of a way to keep one of my pets entertained since you know, that can be hard. Well, I think I have managed to entertain all of them at the same time. Honest opinions. Don't worry, I can take it.

[Now he turns the video towards what he's been working on. The video is now showing a rather large aquarium sitting in the corner of the room. Only there's no fish. There's a porg in the aquarium, swimming around almost oblivious before diving down like it was trying to find something. A dachshund and what looked like a basketball seemed to be watching it. There's also a staircase leading up the aquarium so the porg could get in and out]

I also have no idea what to do with the rest of these boxes. There's too many to not do something with.

[ooc: this is Lyle without nicotine and trying to find something to occupy himself. Also action available for anyone who would be at the Celestial Being house]

viatorius

( The feed starts with a wobble, Clarice ignoring the swoop of fear and nausea that washes through her to tighten her grip on her phone. )

Hi.

( She smiles, and it looks easy even though it's not. She's made no effort to hide her mutation, unnaturally green eyes bright in the light of her apartment, pink mark over one of them. The only thing that isn't obvious are her ears, and the fact that she can rip holes in space. But she's trying to look approachable. She's sitting cross-legged on the floor, her back to the couch. Her free hand moves restlessly, seems to be petting something off camera as she gears up to speak. )

Um, my name's Clarice. I got here a couple of months ago, and I figured now would be a good time to say hey and maybe ask some questions. ( Blowing out a breath. She can do this. ) I've noticed that some of us - the displaced - are a little young, and it got me wondering if anyone had set up something to make sure they're being properly cared for? Not like a foster home, because we've all been given beds and sh --. Stuff. ( Motherfucker. ) But more for emotional support? One of those big brother-slash-big sister schemes. Making sure they're safe, or uh, that they're eating proper food instead of candy bars. Or even just to talk. Because it's hard enough for anyone ending up here, but I know I would have been freaked out as a kid.

( Another pause, and then --. )

Actually, I've been through the whole world turned upside down high school thing, so even if there's not and anyone wants to talk about it, or just have someone to rant to? My phone's always on me. And if I'm not good enough then there's always Zingo. ( She angles the camera now to take in the dog sitting at her side. ) Who is definitely a good judge of character and requires so many hugs. You'd be doing me a favour. My arm's getting sore.

( There, she's done, she's made it through the broadcast and can now panic a little off-screen. ) Okay, thanks!

glitterpants

[ The feed clicks on and, well, to just cut straight to the chase, it shows two incredibly hot guys. No joke. We’re talking god levels of beauty here in your typical generic anime style, lounging by an indoor pool, their legs dipped into the water and towels around their necks. Was this Fr**! or something? It certainly seemed that way. The more you look at it, they looked like twins. Wait, wasn’t there like a set of.. twin.. triplet guys here who all looked the same? They were really average looking, though. Nothing like these buff, sexy new guys! The first one with red hair looks over at the feed: ]
Well, well. It’s nice to see all of you out there. I hope you’re enjoying your festival.

[the redhead winks, and there is the distinct sound of girls cooing in the background. Just where did these girls come from!? The other one with blue hair rakes his hand through his hair, leaning backwards as he also looks into the camera. ]
Heh, I know me and my dear brother here are enjoying the festival and we can only hope within our pure hearts that you are having an equally happy time. In fact, it is our sacred duty to ensure that everyone is having fun and being safe! [the redhead nods, turning his attention to his brother before looking at the camera again.]

That’s right, Karamatsu. [wait… that’s Karamatsu? Then, that must mean…] We will be in the entertainment district all week to give you our blessings. If you need us, for anything at all; missions, companionship, moral support, we’ll be happy to oblige.
[another wink. Someone stop him]

You’re right, Osomatsu-niisan. There are many wild things we can do to make your fantasies come true! Oh, did I mention we can destroy a meteor in the bat of a lash? Our powers are endless!

[Osomatsu laughs and rubs under his nose] See? We promise to do whatever it takes for you. So, don’t be shy, kittens. Come visit us, and make this flower festival an event to remember!
[ get another view of those wet, shirtless, sexy chests before the feed cuts out. ]
[ ooc; this is the result of a flower exchange where Karamatsu & Osomatsu are handsome versions of themselves! Feel free to be confused by their shenanigans and prepare for responses from both of us. ]

notreallyrobin

hey uh
i bet you all get this a lot, but, uh, am i dead? like, straight up dead? is this purgatory?
because i really messed up and think i died and then i woke up in the hospital here and its all really
uh
a lot

and im kind of freaking out

ok yeah i guess i was about to die. and they explained all that but does that mean like, the me back home is dead??? or does that me just not exist anymore??????

(lowkey i still think this might be purgatory. if it was heaven i would have my own room.)

[ Gee. Stream-of-consciousness sure is easy when you're speaking to the void. But hey. It's better than staying in her bunk and going nuts alone. ]

ugh ok anyway someone distract me from existential bullshit
whats your favorite animal and why. best answer becomes my purgatory bff

whatarethose

[Shuri is sitting on her assigned bed when she flicks on the device she'd been given. She doesn't mind sharing a room with other people but it's a first for her and she's adjusting to the change. It's a lot louder here than the palace of Wakanda and she currently has no lab to retreat to.]

This looks like it'll be my home for awhile so I thought it best to give a general hello. My name is Shuri.

[She really isn't interested in the festival that's going on but she has a few questions that can only be answered by those who have been here for awhile.] I have a few questions.

First I'd like to talk to those who work in technical fields. I'm the head of the R&D division in Wakanda and I'd like to do something similar here. [It's the best way for her to help out and no matter where Shuri is, she wants to help those around her.] I was told when I arrived that there are many labs here but I'd like to hear from you, which is the best.

I'm also looking for the Avengers. If any are listening, I believe you know my brother T'Challa, King of Wakanda. [She hasn't met many of the Avengers but she assumes that some of them are here since people are being swept away to a moon via a portal.]

Thank you for your time.

tempredmental

Um... so, I think something happened? I don't know if it was from those flowers, or what... but, I'm... yeah.

[Keith put his arms out. His jacket was clearly way too big for him. The collar of his t-shirt was a good three inches lower on his chest than it should be. But, he had nothing else to wear.]

Does anyone have some clothes I can borrow for a while? Even if it's just for today so I can get something on my own to have until this wears off?

Thanks...

Current Mood: confused

mirakills

Congratulations, I am now sealed within a miracle.
Of course, my congratulations go to the ones capable of such a thing.
Witches should be able to summon and control gods, not the other way around.
So bravo. My heartfelt feelings of applause go out to you, divine captors.
I’ve been truly shamed.

With that out of the way, may I pose a riddle to the rest of your captured?

I am a baldfaced liar, tinged with reddened shame.
You’ll never know me for who I am, for that is just my name.
Astutely bold, encased in gold, I am the one to blame.

I hail the northeast seas as home, but I have not forgotten,
The Swiss mountains I was born, from a time long dead and rotten.
If you’re lost, I’m sitting on the tip of your tongue, it’s…
Who am I?

For who solves it… I will return something that I have taken in this City that everyone needs.
Good luck.

[ ooc; Though I’d love for you to OOCly give it a try, if your character is smart enough to figure it out, PM me ahead of time and I’ll give the answer. I have no intention of giving a riddle too hard to solve when characters ICly can! ]

thestoriesarereal

[The audio turns on to the sound of silence for the first few seconds before Lucy asks her question.]

If you could have one wish, what would you wish for? Not like...money or anything. Not for powers, but what would you really wish for?

[Because it's her birthday, and she wasn't really in the mood to celebrate. Of course, she'll wish for her family to be okay, for them to remember and come here so they could meet Victor. But...would that be a waste of a wish? Sure, wishes were powerful, but she was in another world, and she didn't think they would be strong enough to pull her family from one realm to the next...

Or, maybe she's just over thinking things. Maybe she just wants to talk and not think about her birthday.]

[ooc: Lucy's birthday is on April 8th, so here's her birthday post! She won't say it's her birthday, not yet anyway. Either way, this post can double as action too. So have fun!]

franciscoramon

[ The camera feed turns on revealing a beaming Cisco Ramon, his hair pushed back by the safety goggles perched on top of his head, for that extra science-y aesthetic. ]

Hellllooo, Quarantine! Cisco here, with my guy Barold, and we're here to introduce you all to the newest innovation in cool!

[ He turns the camera to show Barry Bluejeans in a sunny park, next to a makeshift platform holding up what looks like Silver Surfer's wetdream of a skateboard on it. Silver, sleek, and just generally Dope. Barry boots the board up with a touch, and it begins hovering over the platform, underside and edges glowing with a shifting spectrum of colors. ]

That's right, folks. A hoverboard! We call it the Silver Streak. Up to seven feet of lift over any surface - pavement, water, foliage, snake pit, you name it. Max speed of eighty miles an hour, though good luck balancing for anything over thirty-five! Battery life lasts up to three days, we got built-in stabilizers, we got built-in GPS, we got built-in stereo and LED undercarriage-

-Plus this bad boy has 100% magic back up. EMP- that's... what it was called right? Yeah, EMP? No sweat. Magic takes over. Anti-magic field? Engines kick in. This beauty has magic protection to shield all the uh. Juicy bits insideya from exploding if there's an impact-

- and magnetic netting to catch you if you lose your balance!

It comes when it's called and looks for ya so it's safer than just about anything you can use!

Now, who wants to see it in action?

[ A man's voice from just off-screen calls: ] I do!

[ Cisco's hand is visible in front of the camera, urging Barry on. Barry climbs up on the board awkwardly and... wobbles. A lot. He's not the most athletic dude and that's probably super obvious. He flies a few small loops only to quickly lose his balance and beef it. He doesn't fall straight on the ground? There's a brief flash of light - that magnetic netting activating, cushioning the fall a few inches before he hits the ground. It's still really undignified, though, and drops Barry on his butt onto the grass. ]

Maybe uh...

Baaaaaabe? You mind giving us a hand? Pretty please?

[ And someone else is coming on screen - Eddie Thawne, who gives a sheepish wave to the camera as he walks over to where the board is hovering just above the grass, a few feet away from Barry, who is getting to his feet. ]

Um, okay, I've never really done much skateboarding but I'll give it a go...

[ He sounds just as sheepish as his wave was, and he rubs the back of his neck as he heads over to the board. Stepping up on it, he wobbles for a moment, then catches his balance, and abruptly grins, wide and bright.]

Oh wow, this is so cool.

[ Cue Eddie doing a little jump and getting moving, gliding over grass and concrete, and he catches his footing fast enough that he's doing little ollies and grinding the edge of a concrete planter without doing a hint of damage to the surface. Barry and Cisco, naturally, burst into applause, the video going shaky as Cisco appears to jump up and down a few times in sheer jubilation.

There is one last turn of the camera, towards Cisco and Barry whooping and jumping and laughing at the success of their new creation, and the feed ends. ]

brotrips

(Noctis isn't sure when it happened, only that the flower in his hand was a trigger. One moment, he was himself, a normally-sized adult with an adult mind and features. The next, he was much smaller and the world around him much larger. Gone is the bravery and selective confidence, only to be replaced by the child that was even more painfully shy than his older self.

When the camera clicks on, Noctis is in his bed, smell legs crossed with a pillow in his lap; it hides most of his face.)

I... need help.

tanker

hey, everyone

I'm thinking of going outside the walls for a bit of a look around. Anyone interested in going out? Fair warning, it could get hairy, as we don't always know what to expect out there. I'm trained in combat, could always do with good navigators, maybe someone who knows a bit more about the lay of the land, too, but everyone's welcome to join.

I know I'm not the only one wondering about what's out there.

And, completely unrelated... I just moved out of the communal housing and would like to build some furniture for our new place. Simple stuff - shelves, to start with - but I don't have much experience in this. Anyone willing to lend a hand?
Alternatively, if you have any old stuff you'd like to get rid of, I might be interested.

trashvalkyrie

[The girl onscreen might look vaguely familiar; anyone who's befriended Valkyrie during her time in Riverview might recognize her, but with a slightly softer face, shorter hair, and looking a good decade younger...in human years, anyway. The last time she looked like this, she went by the name Brunnhilde...but she's not telling a soul that. She's currently pouting as she faces her phone camera, propped up on her bed in her new room in Thor's house.]

Look. Far be it from me to complain about shaving a few years off, but this is fucking—

[She cuts off out of sheer frustration, and clenches a fist near her jaw.]

No liquor store will sell to me! I tried explaining that I'm actually, like, multiple millennia old, but of course I can't fucking prove it.

[Val sticks out her tongue, going momentarily cross-eyed.]

Anyway, point is. Who's going to buy me booze?
