*Unlike Lola's usual activity on the network, this post is a bit different. For starters Lola doesn't say anything the entire video, in fact the start of the video she's behind the camera instead of in the spotlight. Instead she has a video of her taking her camera through a... empty restaurant patio? Okay, that's weird, what the hell is she up to?*

*She stops at a Portrait, which... okay, it has her name in the bottom corner. Lola puts down her camera on a table, still pointed at the portrait. She walks over, smiles, and holds up a small sign. In pink letter, artistically rendered.*

I guess I should figure out how to run a Cantina. 😉
*Yes she drew a smiley on her handmade sign. Lola blows a kiss to the camera, also winking in case the emoji wasn't enough cuteness. And the video ends there.*

[He's out of practice. Steve is quiet for a second as he starts the transmission, bracing himself.]

My name is Steve Rogers. In my world, I'm also known as Captain America. Some of you might know me, but that's not what I want to talk about.

[Well, not about his work specifically. He does wants to talk about work.]

We're all here for different reasons and I'm not going to pry into anyone's business, but I think there are some of us who are used to defending people in our home worlds and if you are, I'd like to work with you. If you're from a world like mine, then this city is quieter than others. But that doesn't mean we don't need to look out for it. The wildlife and technical problems still need attention. I know I'm asking you for more time on top of the work we're already doing with the Perimeter Guard and official positions, but I'd like to make that extra effort. A lot of you are probably better suited to organizing this than I am. If you have projects going, I want to join you. I want us to share those ideas and work together to help the city.

[His posture gets subtly more stern, with his chin raising and his shoulders straight. This part may not just be a general appeal for teamwork.]

It's easy to overlook some problems when most of the big issues are under control. We get by well enough. It's a nice place. I'm not going to let anything put this place in danger. I'm going to be on guard, to make sure nothing gets out of hand. I'm sure this doesn't apply to everyone, but if you're interested in a little community service, maybe we can do that together. Thanks for listening.

[ With no introduction... ]

back home, one of the main things I used to do was train people to control their abilities - i've spent quite a number of years teaching myself control through various techniques, as it's pretty essential for me to keep things in check.

in a bid to feel useful to the community, interest check:

anyone want training sessions? whether you have abilities you're struggling with, or are just looking to get some more control over yourself, I can help.

[Or at least, try to. ]

ATTENTION:

if anyone sees a very large hellhound
with glowing red eyes
please don't hurt her or be frightened.

mrs. o'leary is actually very nice and friendly
she will totally play fetch or "get the greek"

she'll be hanging around quarantine,
so please don't attack her

in other news,
does anyone know where i can buy
some really, really big dog treats?

[ and for those interested, nico can be found down by the river, playing with mrs. o'leary, who looks like a mastiff the size of a car. he's currently throwing a dummy down the bank, which mrs o'leary retrieves with happy (and very loud) barks. ]

We're all stories. Tell me yours, and I'll tell you mine.

(Preferably over tea.)

Don't forget to start with "Once upon a time..."

[ the cool thing about her primary device being a smartphone is that after a few days, Lizzie pretty much has it down. so, thankfully, no one gets stuck staring at an eyeball on the network today. nope, instead they get Lizzie, in her pink and frilly glory, looking like sunshine glorified as usual. for a 'new' arrival, she's in a strangely good mood.' ]

I beg pardon that it took me this long to introduce myself! This place has simply been such a change...

[ right, right. composing herself like the lady she is. ]

My name is Elizabeth Ethel Cordelia Midford, daughter of the leader of the British Knights! I'm here with my fiance, Ciel Phantomhive! I hope he's been getting along with everyone well! He can be a bit dour, but he's really very sweet!

Ah, of course, introducing myself isn't the only reason I'm doing this. You see...It seems I've found myself without Paula, my handmaid. Between this and how...different...the fashion is in this world than my own...I seem to be having a spot of trouble with my clothing lately, including dressing. Ah, buttons are quite difficult you see... I was hoping to find a lady who might be able to assist me. I'm sure I could find a way to provide compensation.

[ read: i don't know how to dress myself, i'm scandalized by shorts, and everyone i know is a dude, what do? ]

Also...I can't believe we're on the moon! Who would ever have thought it would be possible, to be on the moon? It sounds so romantic, it's like a dream! [ Lizzie sighs dreamily. ] It certainly wasn't possible at home, but imagine... Ciel and I walking on the moon together...!

[ aaaand apparently no one has to endure starry-eyed Lizzie for long, because she's suddenly cutting the feed with an excited call of Ciel's name, no warning. Poor Ciel. ]

outofthinair

[ At first it looks as though someone is taking video within an art studio. There are numerous artworks displayed, but soon it becomes obvious that rather than being on easels, they are propped up on a bed, or the wooden artist chest next to the bed. Clary does not have her own studio to work in, nor does she have a big enough space to spread out. It's a constant battle to move things around the space she does have as part of the communal housing she was placed in.

The drawings are mostly cityscapes and landscapes for now. Memories of New York and places in Brooklyn. Scenes that were reminiscent of Idris – but not many people would recognise them. To anyone else they might seem like images of Europe. Hidden underneath the landscapes are hints of lifedrawing but the face of the model isn't visible. ]

So with the excuse of Valentine's Day coming up I was going to offer to do commissions if anyone is after something unique and personal. Landscapes, portraits, abstracts, cards… anything you want. This is a sample of what I’m capable of.

We can talk prices or trades - I’m open to bargaining. Even if you want to pay me in art supplies I would not turn it away.

[ She looks like she's about to reach out and kill the feed before another thought occurs to her. ]

Oh, and if anyone is looking for a housemate or knows of someone looking to move out of communal housing that would be willing to let me take over some of the space - I'd appreciate it. Sleeping under sketchbooks might seem bohemian but I need my workspace and bed to be seperate.

[ Not to mention a little privacy helps when it comes to the lifedrawing part of her art. The feed ends with her giving a bright smile. ]

fatedcontract

I guess this is a second introduction. Mostly because I just joined the Perimeter Guard. So, I'm Makoto Yuuki, I was the leader of S.E.E.S. at Gekkoukan High School, a specialized combat squad.

I'll be glad to give an example of my skills but it's really not for the faint of heart. I know that anyone who goes into combat though should have an idea of what to expect from me and my Persona's.

[Yu knows how S.E.E.S worked.]

So, ah, I guess this is an invitation to meet my new coworkers?

WHAT IS A SUGARDADDY?

[ALL MIGHT NO]

Action. | Toshinori Yagi, the skinny, undercover civilian man.

[There is a skinny, concerned man of about 7'3" standing in the local superstore, in the pet food section, with his hands full of various cat toys. And apparently the source of his misery is trying to figure out which of these twenty different kinds of cat food would be good for the young Mr. Bean residing in his private apartment. Look, toys are easy. But diets? Toshinori is more than familiar with the difficulty of a well-balanced diet!

OH THE HUMANITY, WILL HE EVER ESCAPE THIS CAT HELL.]

thesavior

[The video pops on, with Emma sitting in the kitchen of her apartment she shared with Lucy. The fact that she has a pile of cookbooks next to her, shouldn't concern anyone unless you know her of course. ]

Right. let's do this. I'm Emma... Swan. I've been here for a couple of months and recently my granddaughter showed up. It's confusing since when I left my kid was her age, but not the point.

[She sighs smiling a little.]

I figured I should probably learn how to make actual food that isn't Tacos, pizza, pop tarts, or boxed mac and cheese. Are there any gourmet chefs out there?

[Private to Victor]

Hey, I have a favor to ask?

thestoriesarereal

[The video turns on to show a little girl wearing a jean jacket with some store bought brownies on a plate. She looks a little nervous, but it fades when she smiles at the camera.]

So...I was told there were other gods and demigods here. And if none of you are busy, I'd really like to talk to you? Cause...I only know of gods from history books and stories, but it would be nice to know what actually happened and what was really embellished--cause author's tend to do that.

[And then she remembers the brownies.]

I've got brownies too! So...your time's not wasted or anything.

[Hopefully Grandma Emma won't be upset about this...her granddaughter basically asking to talk to strangers...

But really, what's the harm?

...And hopefully the gods and demigods like chocolate.]

somakemelaugh

[The video comes on to show Undertaker in what looks like something he'd arranged himself, lying stretched out over a couch in casual wear, feet crossed at the ankles over the arm while his head rests on the opposite seat, hair spilled all around like he doesn't care. Which he doesn't.]

[He's alone here and he knows it. Or thinks he is anyway. A few minutes pass and he still hasn't spoken, and though he appears to be looking straight up, he's holding his chain in one hand over his stomach, fingers rubbing one of them. One of seven.]

[A few minutes more and it becomes clear he doesn't realize he's being recorded. He still hasn't said anything. But then just as the viewer may feel tempted to switch the feed, Undertaker giggles. The giggles quickly become a spasm before he bursts out laughing for no apparent reason. None at all. He's laughing so hard, kicking one foot, that as he turns, he rolls himself right off the couch with a thud...]

[... and keeps right on laughing. And there, the video ends.]

ichimyatsu

[The feed buzzes on to Ichimatsu looking boredly down with his hand resting on one fist, his other clearly setting the phone up to record. Despite how often he looks bored, this time he looks a little perturbed, as well, and he glances up at the phone after a while, shifting its view a moment later. It shows a large wooden chest, in the corner of a relatively nondescript room, and the inside of the chest is sectioned off into several segments, most of which are... filled with plants, be they dried or in seed form. He slowly moves the view across the entire chest, and then sets it back on a shelf, or a windowsill, where it can focus on him as he sets his cheek back against his fist.]

...so I've had this chest of plants for almost a fucking year now. I completely forgot about them, and all the labels are... burnt, it looks like. Somehow the plants are okay? They're weird space plants, they all do weird shit. I remember two of them, but not their names.

[A long silence, and he shifts to uncurl his hand and set his chin in his palm, instead.]

...guess I'm gonna be selling some weird space plant extracts once I figure out what they all do again. Anybody interested? Or, for that matter, anybody know anything about plants? Reaper, Karamatsu, you two remember these things?

[ooc; Ssssso these are plants Ichimatsu's had since he was in Eluvio. There was an event in that game where the ship visited a planet with seven districts based off the seven sins, and characters were allowed to harvest and keep flora from the districts. The moderation of that game has since locked the post with the actual names/effects of those plants, so I'll be working off memory for effects and making up new names, but the plants bear no actual resemblance to any other existing flora. Feel free to have any botany-smart people tell him as much! ...also hi I changed usernames.]

likeacoupon

Okay, I did the 'getting-used-to-this-place' thing and I have two questions.

First, where can I buy or borrow a bike. [She'll borrow one and live life pokemon style if she has too.] I'm already getting tired of walking everywhere.

[Willa doesn't make it clear if she's talking about a motorcycle or a bicycle. She's not that picky and either would do. However, she has very little to no experience driving a motorcycle but she's sure she could figure it out.]

Question number two. [She holds up two fingers and holds them in front of the screen.] What did you guys all do before you arrived here? Is it the same as what you do now? Be it jobs or hobbies or whatever.

[Anyone can respond or not, but Willa wants to meet more of the people here and see what kind of crowd she's dealing with. From the small sample she's run into, it's certainly an eclectic bunch.]

deathkid

[ it's late, but the stars are shining and the moon is big enough to reveal that nico is once again in the graveyard, sitting atop a gravestone as he munches some fries. his legs swing back and forth. with his mouth full, he pauses and regards the feed. ]

I've been doing a lot of thinking. Mostly about the future. So we're stuck here for five years, right? How many people are planning on staying after that? If so, why?

I mean... [ another bite of fries and he swallows this time before continuing. ] What do people miss the most about their original homes and is it enough to want to go back? If there was one thing about this place that could make you stay, what would it be?

I dunno. Anyway- Loki, I need to make sure I have Wednesday night off. And Jason, I need some advice. Also, Ed, I have a few questions about your alchemy.

igotusout

*Look, the teenager who had shield powers during Paintball. She looks all serious and 'has a mission.' Then again, Lauren usually looks serious since she got here.*

Is there any easy place to practice deflecting and stopping projectiles. Like... I guess something with a pitching machine? Whatever I'm blocking has to be dangerous but not lethal. Cause I'm not crazy.

*Lauren the last way to practice your powers was a pregnant woman who tosses sawblades at you and your friends. That's a little crazy.*

I guess if people wanna fire beanbag rounds at me that'd be fine too, but I don't really want to inconvenience anyone if I can practice on my own.

childofaxios

[ When the video kicks in, it's clear that Chyler is in one of the Perimeter Guard's offices. She's standing close to the lens, adjusting the feed until it lines up to her satisfaction. Then she steps back and stands at attention.

For one brief, brief, oh-so-brief moment there's a flicker of exasperation on her face. Then she locks her gaze on nothing in particular and shouts like she's in the middle of a drill: ]

MY NAME IS CADET SILVA AND I AM A CLOCK.

[ A pause, oh-so-brief a pause, but her expression doesn't waver this time. ]

IF AT ANY POINT YOU REQUIRE THE LOCAL TIME, IT IS MY DUTY TO PROVIDE IT DOWN TO THE SECOND. I AM REQUIRED TO DO THIS REGARDLESS OF WHERE I AM OR WHAT I AM DOING AT THE TIME OF YOUR REQUEST.

IF AT ANY POINT I REFUSE, PLEASE INFORM PERIMETER GUARD SQUAD LEADER JOHN SHEPPARD OF RR-1.

[ Chyler snaps off a salute, then reaches forward and turns off the feed with equal crispness. ]

absolutperfection

[He could try to do this the anon route but didn't see the point.]

I've got a couple of questions and some statements to make.
One, Peaches. If you're out there. Text me sometime.

Two, does anyone know this man. If so, please leave info on how to win him over.

Lastly. I've figured this whole thing out.
Why they bring use here.
It's because we're all so damn attractive.
Look around.
Bet there's not a single person here that doesn't fit that description.

UPDATED: I am not referring to children. I'm sure they're all cute though.

[Contributing to the network - yes. High quality - debatable.]

shoplifter

[The feed opens with a huffy looking Laura, sitting in front of the screen like it's a PSA announcement or some such — and judging from the glancing up at what must assuredly be a teacher, it's exactly that. Or something. She scowls at the camera again before looking down at the paper held in her dainty little hands that have totally never hurt anyone ever, no sir. She reads it blankly, and it's very clearly she's the worst podium speaker in the entire universe:]

I have agreed.... to read aloud, so that I will not be suspended for the week.

I would like to formally apologize for anyone I have ever stabbed, kicked, punched, or bitten... It was not my intention to hurt anyone and I will try my best from this point on to control my temper, both — in the complex and at school. [She wrinkles her nose, looks deadpan at the camera, and continues.] I am sorry to Tabitha for shoving her nose in the grass during recess. Even if it was because she was being unkind to another student, it does not give me the right to use... 'force'.

And I am sorry for using... Spanish expletives toward Jared, and hitting him in the throat with his own backpack. Even if he was being rude, it does not... excuse violence. [She looks so annoyed, save her.] From this point on, I will do my best to stay in school... for the whole school day. I will try not to leave past the wall.

[She puts the paper on the desk, calmly.]

... And I will not steal the chocolate milk from the cafeteria anymore.

[More gravely:]

But if Susan insults my accent ever again, I will shove her into the trash ca—

[huh the feed ended suddenly how about that

... she's in detention now]

deploy

Looking for an X-Box, 2 controllers and some games.

Madden, Burnout, GTA, Tony Hawk, Fight Night, etc.

Stuff you can play while eating popcorn and drinking beer at the same time. No downers.

Will pay $$$ if you can deliver by tonight. It's an emergency.
