[ After a few hours of failing to fall asleep, Wally gets bored and decides to address the network at some point in the middle of the night. He can get oddly reflective when he's tired. ]

For curiosity's sake, what is everyone's thoughts on time travel? I suppose it's even possible some people here might have experience with it given we come from so many different worlds.

[ He stops to release a loud yawn, before continuing on. ]

I mean, if you knew something in your past was wrong, would you go back to change it and just deal with whatever the consequences are if you could do it? What if someone told you that by going back to save their son it would save thousands of lives?

[ If one was to get the feeling he has found himself in such situations in the past, then they would be correct. ]

Or, would you simply accept things for how they are and move forward no matter how hard that might be?

So...[The audio was the first to turn on, and Lucy figures it out when she sees her screen is dark. She quickly changes it to video, looking at the camera, unsure of what she's doing but she has to try. The network gets to see a young girl who looks unsure, but trying to be brave at this moment. A lot has been on her mind, but she needs to figure this place out first.

To some, she may carry certain characteristics of another young person from a long time ago..or recent.]

I can't say this is cool or not, we're on a moon and there aren't any flying cars but...

Anyone here know of Snow White? Or...The Evil Queen? And if they're here...maybe, point me in their direction?

[Is she being serious? The look on her face says yes. She needs to find people she can trust, and hopefully not be placed in a group home.]

[Odo’s a little unsure how to address the network, and as much as he tries to repress that hesitation, it’s still noticeable for those paying attention. The network was usually something he only observed, but this was a quicker way to gather information than asking individuals.

He starts off with what he thinks is a socially appropriate greeting.]

Good Morning.

I am looking for information regarding renting some space. Either something suitable for an office, or an open area without any furniture. I suppose that means I’ll have to contact some kind of landlord.

[His tone indicates he’s not exactly happy about this idea.]

If any of you could point me in the right direction I would appreciate it.

[He’s about to end the feed when he remembers something.]

...Thank you.

alkahestic

[ al's currently on floor 6, like... literally the floor, which has books and papers shoved aside so that there's a clear space. at first, the feed is a little shaky as he adjusts it, and then it's visible that he's got a rather large pile of dirt sitting in front of him. giving the feed a shy grin, he claps his gloved hands together and transmutes the material. there's a blinding flash of blue and yellow lightning and a whirl of dust. when it all fades, there's a pot with flowers sitting in the spot where the pile of dirt had been.

pleased with himself, al grins at the camera. ]

What with all the snow and everything, I thought people might be getting a little tired of the cold weather, so if people want some fresh plants to liven up their homes or rooms, I'd like to help.

[ he lifts up the pot and brings the flowers into focus. ]

I can make all types of things, if people want. My brother and I are still running a repair business for just about anything you can imagine, so please let me know!

[ setting the pot down again, he settles cross legged on the floor. ]

I was also thinking of all the different abilities people have here. For example, I'm an alchemist and you all just saw what I can do. But what can other people do? I mean, if it's not too much to ask, I'd like to ask a few questions.

holds_up_walls

[Lyle is sitting on the floor of his communal floor, which lets face, he's currently the only resident of so its more like a private floor at the moment. There's probably the biggest grin people may have seen on his face in... ever here]

So I got the best surprise first thing in the morning. I've been wondering if I'd see him again and he's finally here.

[He glances over to the side]

Hey, come back over here. I know this is new.

[There's a pause and he's shifting his phone so he can still have it on him as he hefts a round orange robot into his lap, about the size of a basketball]

This is Haro. He helps with piloting my mobile suit back home. Say hello, Haro.

Haro! Haro!

[The "ear flaps" wave and the eyes flash]

Who? Who?

Who are we saying hello to? The people on the network. They can see us on the phone.

[And Haro rotates a bit under its own power as though its trying to look at the phone]

naturallywavy

_{[ The feed reveals one apathetic looking guy. His hair is particularly eye catching, though, being a white color and wavy. He seems to be checking in from home, and by the looks of his attire, it looks like he's in traditional Japanese attire. The guy looks well built and fit, but what seems to be a giant bowl of ice cream is before him on his table with a mound of strawberries on top of it. It looks like he's in the middle of breakfast. Would you call this breakfast? It is for him.. because nobody is here to stop him. He raises one hand as a greeting, though he's sluggish in movement. Get it together, Gin-san! You're basically in the middle of an interview! It's really hard to do this because he usually has two subordinates that introduce themselves with him. Needless to say, his introduction has less vigor.. probably because he's on his own again. ]}

Yo. Sakata Gintoki is my name. It's been awhile since I've showed up here. Aaa, they gave me a job when I first got here, but that didn't work out. Tch, it's a shame, really. What do they expect from me when there's no motivation? I ain't Ch*hiro on a quest to save my pig-turned parents, oi!
_{[ He pauses to take a good bite of the ice cream, a smile finally appearing on his face solely because it tastes so sweet and good. He twirls the spoon idly in his hand as he continues. ]}

Guess that means I have to work for you all now. If you need anything done, no matter what it is, for the right payment, I can do it for you. Here's a list of some of my skills.

( cut for odd jobs )

tutee

I've been thinking... everyone likes to set new year's resolutions, right? to try something new or learn a new language or something.

the thing I'd like to try to learn is magic. my world doesn't have it, but I know there are people here who do, and I'm wondering if anyone is willing to take on a student? or at least tell me where to look to start learning?

if not, then maybe just share what your new year's resolutions will be.

cheers!

lionunchained

So here is a question: How would someone know that they like someone? Not just as a friend, but as more.

I've dated before, but this... this is different than that.

supersweet

What do you do if someone from your family is sorta maybe evil?

Do you make them take an internet quiz to check??

trashvalkyrie

[This broadcast comes to you LIVE from outside a fancy lingerie shop, where Val and Sif are standing, both looking perplexed and a little...grumpy?

The shop employee wouldn’t let them film inside, so Val’s begrudgingly bought a few of the more offensive items on offer, purely for the purpose of figuring out what the fuck is wrong with people, y’all need Odin.

Nodding to Sif, she holds up a pair of lacy thong underwear. Her phone is propped up on a public mailbox so she can do this handsfree, waggling the offending garment in front of the camera.]

Right. What MAN decided this was a good idea? The whole point of underwear is to keep everything covered. This—this is a torture device.

And it gets worse. Sif? Show them the other thing.

[ Sif appears reluctant to even be touching the thing in her hand, but in the interest of getting some answers she is going to make the sacrifice. It’s another pair of panties, of course, this time with a zipper down the front. Said zipper gets opened, and Sif spreads the resulting hole out to really show it off to the camera.]

Is this supposed to be appealing? To anyone? These things barely exist to begin with, surely ease of access was never a problem big enough to warrant such a thing.

[Val nods emphatically.]

Fucking exactly. You guys had one job and you botched it. Not to mention— ‘push-up bras’? Why would I want to choke on my own tits? It’s completely unnecessary. If any of you have an explanation, please tell us. We want to have a good laugh about it.

[Sif simply nods at that, Val pretty much summed it all up right there.]

Open
[So when Lyle starts this video, people can see that he's clearly put up some rudimentary Christmas decorations around the 14th floor... which is uninhabited except for him simply because he hasn't moved anywhere else]

Merry Christmas or if you speak Gaelic, Nollaig Shona.

So Christmas is a big thing back home. People start celebrating practically at the beginning of the month and on into next month. Tomorrow is the actual day. Normally it's one to celebrate with family, but you know what. I have no actual family here so I wanted to extend the offer to anyone who wanted to join.

Tomorrow I'll be making Christmas dinner and anyone who wants can come up and grab a plate. Stay a while if you want, but its not a requirement.

Closed to Tieria
Hey... I also wanted to invite you over the day after Christmas too.

earlofphantoms

Merry Christmas~! {Vincent is wearing a Christmas crown (yes, that is a thing) and he is beaming from ear to ear.} May you enjoy the day, keep warm, drink some hot chocolate and exchange gifts!

{There may or may not be a fake skeleton sitting behind him. He steps back, wraps an arm around the skeleton's shoulders and winks.}

If you need company, this house has more than enough to spare! I won't stand for anyone being in the dumps today.

{This might be him projecting, but it will have a good effect, at least.}

bunnyblock

 Christmas is a holiday that's pretty important, back home.
In Germany, it's a family affair, usually. It wasn't celebrated much in my own household, but the city outside was always decorated, and there was usually a parade in the streets on more beautiful nights.

I've heard it's different for some people.

And that gifts have more meaning than others.

I'm curious to know the differences, as I still don't really understand it, much.

hititwithacrowbar

[ Jason had considered not doing it but after getting off work and putting some thought into it.]

So, joint call, even if I know your out doing whatever with the mech together. Evening of the 24th your both coming to floor six. I'm going to educate you neophytes on the best Christmas movie ever, Die Hard.

burntbridges

[This message is preceded by an accidental audio clip from the username "necromantica". It's only a few seconds long, and contains only a single phrase.]

--Oh, bloody hell--

[The clip stays up on the network for an hour or two, before she remembers how to take down mistakes like that.

Several hours later there is an anonymous message, in text:]

I'm curious about everyone's thoughts on death, in this city. It's been so long since I've had new thoughts to hear on the matter.

Are you afraid of death? Would you be less afraid if you were in your home world?

If you had the chance to die briefly and return, just to see what it was like, would you take it?

Do you feel abandoned by those who have died before you? If someone abandoned you, could you forgive them?

Do you believe that corpses are people, or simply objects no longer in use? Should the dead have a say in how their body is used?

Could you love a ghost? Could you even stomach being their friend?

a. action
[Beverly walks down this same street almost every day, on her way to and from work. From that coffeeshop on the corner to the weird little knick knack shop full of bits and bobs from across the multiverse, the sights have become very familiar to her. Which is maybe why this particular door showed up on this particular street. Or maybe it's all a coincidence. It's hard to say sometimes, in the Quarantine.

The door in question would not be a particularly remarkable one save for a unique symbol etched in the center of it. Even so, she easily might have missed it - hell, maybe she already has before today. But now that she's seen it, there's absolutely no chance she won't be investigating. The door opens easily and she lets out a surprised gasp when she sees what's inside.]

Oh!

b. network; video
Good evening everyone! For those of you who don't know me, I'm Beverly Crusher - and I found something a bit... unexpected today. [She grins.] A good sort of unexpected, though. Something from my home world that I'd like to share with you all.

[Here she carefully balances her phone against the wall so that it more or less shows both her and the room she's in. It's not readily apparent what sort of room it is as there is nothing in it and no windows or doors, only black walls, floors, and ceiling criss-crossed with glowing yellow grid-lines.]

Now, I know it doesn't look like much but! [She dances over to the middle of the room. She's really excited you guys!!!] Computer! Play File Dixon Hill, The Big Goodbye.

[Immediately, the room around her changes into a street scene from 1930s San Francisco. A figure wearing a fedora bumps into her. "Sorry, ma'am!" he says as he tips her hat and continues on his way, though not without first giving her an odd look - she is after all dressed in odd clothing for the era.]

It's a holodeck! Or well... I suppose since we're not on a ship it ought to be called a holosuite instead, but in any case, it's a holographic projection system that creates a virtual reality. There are only a few scenarios loaded onto the computer right now, but I plan on making more - with ideas and suggestions from you! I want this to be a collaborative creative project that we can all have fun with! There'll be a link below the video for more information and feel free to contact me with any questions you have!

[She gives a little cheerful wave goodbye before reaching down to turn off the video stream.]

ooc: And here is the info page for all holodeck related activities!

imperceptus

do you suppose it is ever truly possible to escape the circumstances of your birth?
to escape destiny?

killthepast

Who is FELICIA? And why do people say goodbye to this person when they aren't even HERE?

[ Please explain your internet memes to Kylo Ren, thanks. You can't see it, but he's VEXED and typing VERY ANGRILY. Thanks a lot, Poe. ]

super_sane

["Ash"'s device cuts on and shows the ground. The occasional tremble can be seen in the video and heard in his voice that has nothing to do with the cold. ]

I went for a walk today and found something I can only describe as horrifying. A body, with a note attached to it. I have made sure to hide the rest of this video after so those that do not wish to see the following image won't have to and we can just...discuss ways to calm my shaking nerves.

( Video )

What should I do?

volitaunt

[ It starts with a blank screen and cheerful booping that anyone who has met BB-8 will recognize, with muffled conversation in the background.

BB-8 is working on something. The screen flickers from blackness to brief color, goes dark again, then abruptly displays the following image: ]

[ Yes, it is Poe Dameron, standing nobly above a motif of X-wings, over the word "RESISTANCE" and below the words "WATCHING OVER THE SKIES AND STARS."

The background conversation stops. Poe's voice comes through clearly: ] Bee, what are you--BB-8, take that down right now.

[ Annnnnd the image vanishes. ]
