Hypothetically speaking, what would you do if the person you were in love with literally forgot you existed? Or, what if you remember having a life with this person except it technically never happened for them?

Would you try to build a connection with them? Would it even be fair to do that? Would you simply try to move on?

So this Surveyor job is pretty cool and all, but as a guy who has a bad time with idle hands I figure I could put my name out here a little bit and see who needs what, so here goes :

If anyone's in need of a mechanic to fix something up real quick, or even to build you a little something you can't find in stores here, let me know. I like tinkering and making bikes and cars loud as I can, that kinda thing.

Also pretty good with computers, if that's more your deal. Building, programming... hacking.

I can even send viruses to your exes if you want but you'll never be able to pin me for it.

All your usual stuff.

Contact me here, or if you see a kid with a long braid in public it's probably me.

Oh, and, does anyone have any idea of a place that sells motorcycles or even a frame I can start building off of? A guy needs wheels around here.

[ The video feed opens with one Hana Song looking absolutely pleased with herself and decked-out in her signature plugsuit. With an undeniable, confident smirk on her face, she declares: ]

D.Va online! Finally.

First of all, shout-out to the guy from the Perimeter Guard who personally delivered the best present a girl could ever ask for—

[ Hana stretches her arm out, offering the feed an extended view of what's behind her: a large pink mech, whirring and glowing with lights. Its apparently pilot beams at the camera and flashes a victory sign at the corner of the screen. ]

Ta-dah! Riverview Quarantine, let me introduce you to my state-of-the-art armored battle suit, a.k.a. a mech unit for the Mobile Exo-Force of the Korean Army, a.k.a. my MEKA unit! Someone out there must really like me, huh? You guys are not prepared for what you're gonna get to see coming up.

[ The screen then flips back to Hana, looking very contemplative. ]

But I'm in a bit of a pinch here. None of my engineers are around, obviously, and I know some basics, but this baby's going to need a lot of maintenance. [ it is high-maintenance like its pilot ] I know there's a lot of new people coming in, and there's still a lot of you guys who've been here a while. Any chance any of you are mechanical geniuses who wanna help out? I'm looking only for the best of the best! Come down to the garage of communal housing if you wanna marvel at this beauty!

[ Does she mean herself? Or the mech? It is a mystery! ]

Oh, and one last thing? [ She seems to move for a little bit and then pans the camera so that a sign that reads: "MECH PARKING ONLY" is visible over her shoulder. ] This parking spot? Mine. If anyone parks in my spot my mech and I are stepping on your vehicle. That's all! Love, D.Va!

Hi everyone! My name's Yonah and I'm new here. Is this like writing letters to people, but faster?

[ Then there's a sudden switch to the voice option. Typing on the phone's a little harder for her, at the moment. She's putting what she learned during her introduction to smartphones to use.

Anyone listening will hear a young girl's voice over their communicators. She sounds pretty thrilled over her very first smartphone. Oh, and talking to a bunch of strangers. She really misses her Dad right now. ]

Can everyone hear me? I see so many letters on this network thingy. Some of them are kinda hard to read. Maybe someone can help me read them! We can read it together! Dad used to read me his letters whenever he came home-

[ Suddenly, several seconds of raspy coughing. Though she clasps her hand over her mouth, the muffled coughs are still audible. At least, she makes a quick recovery and starts talking again: ]

...Sorry. I'm okay! Um... I just wanna talk to everyone...

fogwells

[ There's a clearing of a throat, followed soon by a low voice, calm and steady in its nature. He's well practiced in his speech, as if he's had to make an introduction like this about a thousand times, and with his career choice, he has. ]

Hello there. My name is Matt Murdock, and while I am a new resident here, I work in the offices of Bülent & Feige. In my — [ He pauses for a brief moment. ] — previous home, I ran my own law firm at Nelson & Murdock, so I guarantee that I have the study and experience of being a well-practiced defense attorney. So if you're in a tough legal position, and you need assistance under the law, I can provide that support for you.

[ His voice remains soft as he finishes: ]

Now, there's a reason I didn't put the video on this, but ... [ He briefly switches the setting to video, a dark haired man now in view of the screen, round glasses over his eyes as he offers a warm smile. ] While I won't be able to identify you for — [ He gestures to his eyes, waving his fingers. ] Obvious reasons. If you need to find me for professional guidance, please don't hesitate.

[When the video starts, you can see the Pokemon Professor reading his journal in his bed before he turns his attention to the camera.]

Hello there. I actually need some help on another expedition, although I have to warn you it might be a little dangerous.

As you all know, there is this reality TV show where a young girl of the family owned a pet that originally came from outside the fences. It's been in a rabid demand lately and they want some people to capture the breeding pair of these creatures and bring it back to the Quarantine.

[He even shows the photo of that said creature that he captured from his phone.]

But the main reason I want to take this mission is that I'm practically worried about what kind of creature they have. Not to mention how did they tame a dangerous monster like the one in the show. This won't be easy, but I assure that I may find the truth behind it.

Of course, I'm willing to accept anyone to aid in this expedition. But I have to warn you that it may be dangerous since we don't know what are we dealing with, so if anyone is willing to risk themselves for this mission, just contact me if you can.

Until then, I'll try to prepare for the expedition. But I hope you will join me very soon.

Making a bonfire isn't hard, right?

[ Though Marinette was more likely to respond to people speaking on the network, she's decided to use it herself this time around. The image would show her sitting on a chair at a desk, with a big grin on her face. ]

Hey! It's been a while since I last posted to the network here, but for those of you who don't know me, I'm Marinette, aand I've been here about..a month? Or so. Welcome to everyone who just arrived, belated though it is.

Actually I probably gave my welcomes out if I met you already so -- not that you can't have welcomes again or anything but -- [ Headscratch. ] I'm.. getting off topic. I've been pretty busy this weekend, making some baked deliveries - Link, thanks again for helping me with that.

Anyway, I bet you're wondering what's kept me so busy, so, look! [ She turns the view around to show off a set of dolls. ]

Aren't they cute? They're actually of some... er.. people back home, and since the dolls I made of them are still back home, I thought I'd remake them here. But it'd be kind of selfish to keep them all to myself, so ..

[ Here she turns the view around again, where she's now working on another doll ]

I thought I'd offer to make dolls for anyone interested, ..for a small fee of course, in addition to designing and making outfits. I'm not limited to making those dolls though. I can make dolls of other things too, if I have a good enough idea of what they look like. Just let me know if you're interested in dolls or clothing, or if you need someone to design other things.

[ Action for Floormates or Roommates, feel free to say hi! ]
[ Finishing up her post, Marinette set her unfinished doll down and sighed. She really missed little Tikki. Absently reaching up to touch her earrings, she smiled faintly, then pushed her chair back, flexing her arms and stretching. ]

"Okay Marinette, time for a break~!"

[ She turned and padded out of the room, glancing around to see if any roommates were about. Though she didn't stick around long, and wandered out onto the tenth floor, heading over to the elevator to go and explore. Though she did glance around to see if any other tenth floor flatmates were around - she never did meet the people in the other room on that floor. ]

[ The video starts in the low light of a mostly dark room. There’s a bit of sunlight coming in through a nearby window, but the blinds are closed to give the room a soft, muffled quiet atmosphere. Yuri’s face swings into focus, and he smiles at the camera in his own hand knowingly, pressing a finger to his lips in a ‘shhh’ gesture, before turning the camera back towards a very soft and comfy looking pile of bedding- on it, Otabek’s cat Tazaghul. And around her, a mass of soft, tiny, wriggling mewling newborn kittens. ]

Taza went into labour early this morning, it’s been several hours. But mama’s finally all done. She did so good, you guys. [ Yuri’s voice is hushed, adoring. The focus of the camera remains on the kittens, the mom- but Yuri’s free hand reaches into frame, and softly he rubs his fingers between Taza’s ears, who lifts her head. Meows at him softly as her paws kneed against the bedding she and her babies are resting on. ] Six teeny tiny little babies! She’s got them all cleaned up now, such a good mom. [ Yuri coos, voice fond. ] So, everyone welcome them to the world! They’re so cute I could die, aren’t they, Otabek?

[ The camera swings again, to fix upon Otabek, nearby. ]

They’re so small.

[His tone is as quiet as Yuri’s, but the way he says it is so factual. His expression is curious and almost like he has never seen a kitten this size before. He clearly wasn’t knowing what to expect here, and he reaches, gently placing two fingers on one of Taza’s cheeks, gently petting her. She meows quietly, eyes shifting closed and almost burying into the bedding. Otabek’s own attention shifts, lifting to Yuri. There’s a brief glimpse of adoration, but it quickly disappears. ] Mama looks tired, doesn’t she?

Yeah, she does. But she did just bring six little lives into the world. I can’t really blame her. [ Yuri brings the camera back to Taza, where Otabek’s petting her now, as she buries her head into the blanket, closes her eyes as her kittens start to nurse. ] Happy birthday, babies! [ He whispered it, glowing in his tone as his thumb shifts into frame, giving a thumbs up. ]

Oh - it’s...the fifteenth, isn’t it? [ There’s a pause, and Otabek moves his hand away from the cat. He just looks at Yuri for a moment. Quiet, seeming to ponder something. He’s digging through his memories for something that he definitely has buried in there. He seems to realize, since his eyes light up, although his expression doesn’t change. ] It’s Leroy’s birthday, too.

[ The camera jumps, Yuri screeches out- ] WHAT?!? [ And then, the video ends. ]

[The video turns on to a woman obviously still in a hospital bed if the sterile white scenery is to be believed. She's bandaged over one eye, forehead, and on her neck as far as the camera can see, and her hair is pulled back away from her face thanks to the medical supplies. She looks grumpy rather than relieved to be alive, however.]

I was promised a bar by... someone. The universe. The powers that be. If someone would be so kind as to point me in the direction of said bar, I'd be grateful.

[She fidgets with something off screen with frustration apparent for a moment before remembering the live feed.]

And if someone would like to break me out of this hospital, the first round is on me. I'm an a-class drinker, though, so don't think you're gonna win if you try to out-drink me. Of course, by all means try. Loser picks up the tab, and yes that's an open challenge.

Shepard out. [And the feed cuts as the woman goes back to trying to make the IV in her arm more bearable.]

[Oh hey, it's Taako, wearing Taako clothes and a pointy hat. Obviously it's Taako.]

I, the great Taako Taaco desire to learn new and exciting languages because I have a need to show everyone how smart I am behind this undeniably gorgeous face. You should teach me all your strange languages, as nothing is beyond my immensely powerful abilities.

[He's grinning, faux fanning himself like he's just too hot for this feed.]

Since I have all of your undivided attention, you must know that all my stunning good looks and amazing magical powers all come from the fact that I have a really small dick.

[And oh hey, it’s Taako again, except this time it’s just his voice off-screen:]

Hey dingus, have you seen my pho... ne..?

[It’s a very telltale trailing off, the way someone who has caught their shitty sister in the act of Pretending To Be Them™ in front of the entire fucking network.]

Gimme it, now.

[There’s a surprised shout and then a lot of cackling as the phone is pulled up and Taako #1 is running off to the other side of the room to get as far away from Taako #2 as possible.]

OH NO, AN IMPOSTOR! Save me! I’m too beautiful and sexy to die!

[Luckily, at least one member of this family remembers they’re a wizard, and the phone is mysteriously plucked from Taako #1’s hand and returned to the real Taako, who turns the phone to face him so everyone can see how done he is.]

What’s up, chucklefucks, I’d like to introduce you to my complete asshole of a sister who I hate more than anything in this world.

[From behind the phone, now;]

RUDE.

Don’t start shit you can’t finish. [He sticks his tongue out in her general direction, then turns his attention back the camera.] I’m for real about the languages thing, I’m bored and wanna learn new shit, she just jacked my idea before I could come ask. Do not believe her about the dick thing, though, that's fake as hell.

[With the alarming sound of encroaching footsteps, Taako quickly shuts off the feed.]

[ooc: Lup = red, Taako = purple. They're both the worst]

exfine

[ It's Tsumugi's first time to make his own post on the network, so why not start with something simple?

Also this is on audio since he still hasn't figured out how to turn on the video -- either that or he's still rather shy at talking to strangers eye to eye. Who knows. Anyway:]

Good day, everyone. I've always wondered ever since I came out of that portal last month and stumbling upon the library which is rich with literature that came from other worlds...

What are your worlds like, if you don't mind me asking? Mine is pretty mundane, as I only come from Japan and I go to this specialized school for idols, but it seems that most of you even come from worlds with technology and magic that I've only read from books? Please, enlighten me! I want to hear all about it. ♪

[ ... ]

Ah, my name is Tsumugi Aoba, by the way! Thank you for listening!

tempredmental

I guess this is what you do when you're new? Introduce yourself on the network. So, yeah. I'm Keith, the Red Paladin of Voltron.

Uh... nice to meet everyone, I guess.

[All the awkward. What is this 'being social' you speak of?]

Current Mood: grumpy

alchemyfreak

Do new people always come in batches like this? It doesn't seem like anyone's really been here long enough to notice a pattern. A lot of- relatives showed up, recently. Pretty odd coincidence, I think.

[He looks... frustrated. Everyone he'd spoken to so far had only been around for a few months - tops. There's something suspicious about the whole thing, and he's trying to figure it out. After a moment he sighs, expression changing for the following announcement.]

Some of us have been doing research since we got here, and we're looking to start exploring the abandoned city for more information. We'll be meeting up to make arrangements this week on floor six of communal housing, if that sounds like something you'd be interested in and can defend yourself, feel free to stop by.

[Ed will give the specific time and date for this log, but we don't have a specific one set up OOC - probably July 10th, after the festival excitement has calmed down. Once again, if your character would crash without an invitation they are welcome to show up on their own without knowing someone on Floor Six or replying to this post.

Characters who can't defend themselves are welcome to join for the research aspect, or try to lie their way into the exploration part.

If you need an excuse to have an IC reason, feel free to poke Ed here or whatever.
Also please note, Ed's a CRAU so appears different than in canon: more info here on that!
Any questions? Hit me up on plurk or PM Ed's journal:

[ jessica jones doesn't want to be here. yes, she sat through the orientation video, as crapass and cheesy as it was, and told the assholes who greeted her that this was a mistake. she doesn't need to be rescued or sent to a new home, but despite her demand to return to her world, she would have to wait. it's difficult to navigate the portal, they inform her, and they ask for her patience. too bad that she lacks any.

a few hours after her arrival, jess decides to grace the network with her presence. what else is there to do while she waits around in a city on the fucking moon? ]

i didn't sign up for this star trek narnia bullshit. how long does it take to fix this goddamn portal?

and where can i find a decent drink in this shithole?

[ the feed opens up with a little bit of jostling until it's settled on a nearby bedstand. then, there's a flash of red cloth before al settles down on the floor in front of it. in his white-gloved hands is a broken lamp. he sets it on the floor in front of him. ]

Hello! [ he's rather cheerful. ] I'm Alphonse Elric. Some of you may have already met my brother, Ed. We're alchemists and though we're working in the Perimeter Guard, I also wanted to let people know that we're here to help. If you have something broken, we can probably fix it.

[ he gestures at the broken lamp with a grin and then slaps his palms together. they're then placed above the lamp as a bright, blue light encompasses it. there's a spark of energy and soon the broken pieces are molding back together. ]

See? Just like new.

[ switching it on, the light flickers for a second and then begins to glow steadily. ]

So again, if you need something fixed, Brother and I are on floor 6. Have a nice day!

fratropathic

I know you're here. I've felt your presence ever since I arrived. Don't you think it's rude, making me wait this long to hear from you?

[This was absolutely meant to be public, and absolutely meant to be too vague for anyone to guess the intended recipient. Riverview, meet Regene Regetta and his flair for the dramatic.]
