[The phone starts recording at Makoto tries to pry a growing cat off of the screen. There's a little objective mew as he does but he gives him a little chin scritch.]

Oh, Felix. I know, you miss him. [A little meow and he head butts the phone, giving Makoto a chance to turn it full towards him and- oh. It's recording.]

Ah, sorry about that. I, uh, I'm not very good at this but I guess I should tell everyone that Yu Narukami has gone back home. I have his cat, Felix.

[This time, a fuzzy little head butt the phone to look at him.] I've never cared for a cat before. We had Koromaru back in the dorm on Tatsumi Port Island but he's a dog. And pretty self sufficient.

So, advice on taking care of a cat would be very appreciated.

[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]

[ 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.

[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]

[The blue-haired teen on the screen has one headphone settled on an ear, one free, and it fiddling with a music player hanging from his neck. He's also still wearing his uniform from Gekkoukan. After a moment, he let's it drop and focuses on his new phone.

This is weird, he's used to having a flip phone.]


I guess I should introduce myself. My name is Makoto Yuuki, I'm a student- was a student, at Gekkoukan High. I'm starting at the university here soon, once I'm a little better settled. I was leading a group called S.E.E.S.

[He's not good at this. Even Ms. Toriumi didn't force him to introduce himself in school.]

I know how to fight, if anyone needs someone to help with that? I'm mostly used to swords though, any kind. I was involved in kendo at my last school. Fashion club too, music club, student council. [What is free time?]

So, uh, if you need help with anything.

[ Jim's face greets the network, blue eyes alight with excitement and a big, happy smile on his face. He's dressed all proper in a flight suit, hair with that annoyingly perfect curl over his forehead, and behind him a glimpse of the front of the shuttle he's been working on can be seen. ]

Good morning, everyone! For those of you who don't know me, I'm Captain James T. Kirk, and for the six months I've been in the Quarantine, I've been a member of the Perimeter Guard as a surveyor. A couple of months ago, I took a small team to the waterfalls as we tracked down a mystery signal, and found an abandoned vessel there, buried in a cave. We brought it back with us, but it was severely damaged and it took a lot of work and sleepless hours to get it back into shape. However, it wasn't wasted time. I'd like to present to you all— [ He stands up and moves behind his device, so the camera focuses fully on the shuttle. ] the PGS Intrepid! ta-daaah ] She's good as new and fully functional now, and I'm excited to say she's ready to go well beyond the walls and all around the whole moon.

[ He comes into the view of the camera again, retaking his seat in front of it. ]

The shuttle is an invaluable asset of the Quarantine, and with her restoration, a new branch of the Perimeter Guard has been established: aerial survey and exploration. So far it's only Poe Dameron and myself, but I'd love to see more skilled pilots and explorers joining us.

Likewise, if you'd like to pilot the shuttle and have the skills to do so, but don't want to commit to that specific branch of the guard, there will also be flight permits available to any skilled pilots who might want to use the shuttle for quick trips and various missions.

On both these circumstances, there should be a small flight test to assess your skills.

Now, if you only have minimal or no knowledge whatsoever, but you're interested in learning, we'll also be offering piloting lessons, ranging from basic to more advanced depending on your current skill.

Should anyone have any further questions, feel free to respond here, or drop me a line through my personal inbox. I'm also often at the Perimeter Guard, and anyone's welcome to come by. In that case, you can also take a closer look at the shuttle.

[ He sits up, smile growing a hint wider. ] Thank you for your time, and I look forward to hearing from you. Kirk out.


(( ooc: open to both network replies and action threads @ the perimeter guard! feel free to check out the post about the new aerial survey & exploration branch of the perimeter guard (and also jooooin uuuuus). actual interactions aren't mandatory, and we can definitely handwave your character signing up for classes/taking the flight test/poking around/whatever, so don't feel like we have to play out any of it! ))

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?

I've talked about this with a few of you, but I wanted to make a public announcement just in case someone I haven't spoken to yet was interested in going.

I'm going to take a team with me out to the abandoned city to scavenge for a spaceship. If I've talked with you about it before, you're still invited. If I haven't talked to you yet, now's your chance. I'll message everyone soon with a date and time.

To those who are interested, a mission has been issued to take care of the chalice currently stuck in the portal. I've formulated a plan, but I require assistance.

[In the video feed, Tieria addresses the network with a serious expression. Though he thinks the whole situation with the chalice is ridiculous, he's still choosing to involve himself. He's been restless from too much free time and too little direction since he arrived, so when given the chance to do something familiar and productive, it's only natural for him to take it.]

There are two apparent options: destroy it, or push it back through the portal. Taako claims that only a god can destroy it, so unless one is present, our most likely option is to send it back.

It is unknown how much force, or even what kind, is needed to accomplish that. Based on what we do know, I propose we try two separate attempts, one with kinetic force and one with magic, to see if the chalice responds to either. I have the kinetic approach covered, though I need a Parameter Guard that isn't in training to supervise. For the magical approach...

[He's still coming to terms with the fact that magic even exists, but trying to deny it will only impede the mission.]

Since there isn't any magic where I'm from, someone trained in that subject is needed to cover that part of the operation.

Contact me if you are able to help.

[Good morning Riverview. America's favourite wizard is here with an announcement.

America's favourite wizard is also doing his first audio only post, because he looks like shit and he's out of spell slots to cast Disguise Self.]


So, uh, what's up, my dudes? I'm gonna cut to the chase here, cause most of you aren't complete idiots and have probably noticed that some weird shit is happening and that weird shit, while not my fault, is thanks to some fucko in my world messing with magical items, so now we're dealing with the consequences.

[That fucko is Magnus, who he's throwing under the bus on this, although not by name at least.

There's a very audible sigh from Taako's end of things.]


Here's the skinny: an item with control over time has gotten its shit messed up in the portal, and that's why people are suddenly like, babies or whatever, and the folks here don't really, uh, well they don't know how to fix it. They don't know enough about the chalice, and I don't know enough about the portal, so... so we're asking for help. I'd put money on arcane knowledge getting us the furthest, but at this point I'm willing to take input from anyone who knows their science shit, too, as long as you're not gonna try to tell me that magic doesn't exist. I can guaran-fucking-tee that I'm not in the mood.

[Someone hasn't slept in two days because he's been trying to figure this out, worried about both the chalice itself and the potential that a part of the light existing in this universe could lead the Hunger to it.]

The big thing is that it needs to go back, we bring that shit all the way in here and it's gonna break pretty bad for a lot of people and this stupid cup has given me enough grief that I'm super ready to never see it again in my entire life. Anyone who wants to help should get in touch with the dudes running the portal, but if you got questions I can field 'em. Heads up, you'll get better answers if you promise me coffee.

[He's doing his Good Deed of the week, he could at least get some caffeine out of it.]

[ The camera comes on revealing a young man with unruly hair and an easy smile. He chuckles to himself, pleased the communications device is like the ones he's accustomed to... for the most part. Talking to a nameless, faceless group is a little different than he's used to. Before he says anything, something a little helpless and a little embarrassed flickers across his face. When he finally speaks, there's a faint lilt in his voice that easily identifies him as Irish (at least to those familiar with the accent). ]

I seem to have lost my partner on the way here. If anyone sees a little orange robot rolling around, about... [ He gestures with his hands to indicate roughly the size of a volleyball. ] this big, answers to 'Haro', could you let me know?

[ Oh, right. It's an open network, not like the secure one he used to communicate with other members of Celestial Being back home; he needs to identify himself. For a second he looks abashed, then smiles again. ]

The name's Lockon Stratos.

[ Why, yes, he is making finger guns before leaning in to turn off the feed. ]
