[Guess who didn't bother changing his username after all? This guy.

Anyway, he was here with a small announcement.]


So, Shiro and I had to put the self-defense and martial arts classes on hold for a bit, but we've figured something out to make it work again. We won't be doing it at the house anymore, though. Instead, there's a space in the gym that can work, and they're letting us use that for practice space.

If anyone's interested in continuing.

[He gave the camera a small smile.]

Thanks.

[ Poe is sitting on the floor of his bedroom with BB-8 sort of in his lap. More accurately, he has his legs crossed around the droid. This seems to be a regular position for the two of them. ]

Hey--I don't know how many of you know Finn, and if you don't know him you should know him, but.

[ He tilts his head, trying to think of how to put this. It's not like he just wants to blab about Finn's past to any old person. That's supposed to be Finn's choice. ]

Right. We're... we're coming up on a year, here, and I want to throw him a kind of a birthday party.

[ THIS IS HARD WHEN HE CAN'T JUST SAY "HE GOT HIS OWN NAME A YEAR AGO." ]

A kind of a surprise thing. Not really that much of a surprise because he hates surprises, so I'm going to warn him and no one's going to jump out of hiding at him, but I don't want him to know right away.

[ Poe scrubs a hand through his hair, shaking himself out of the uncertainty with a grin. ]

So anyway this is an invitation to a Finnday party on November 11th. ...Uh, and if anyone wants to help me with it, that would be great.

I apologize for being missing in action for a while there. Just... things happened and I needed to get used to this.

Is anyone out there good with robotics of any sort? I have a bit of a problem and could really use a hand.

[It's been... a hell of a last two weeks for Laura. She had woken up with a chunk of memory inexplicably gone, uninjured as always, and yet — the faintest scent of blood under her scrubbed nails. She wasn't in a hospital, but some big room with heavy doors and Linda the social worker; her head was bandaged, her look one of bone-deep concern as she sits beside the girl.

Oh. The memory of her recapture sits heavy in her gut. The collar, the chair, the network recording, just before everything vanished from her mind. Linda runs a hand through her hair and explains things basically: Shiloh came, he took her, and he used something on her to control her. But it's fine now — all fine, his body was found, he can't do anything anymore.

Laura looks tiredly skeptical at the whole thing. She asks if she killed anybody. Linda dodges the question, which is answer enough. "We just... what he used might still be in effect, so we're making sure you're back to yourself." Linda knows her bad history with rooms like this. Maybe it's why it's so big and spacious.

But she stays, and days pass, and she's not sure what happens outside. She just knows people are dead, and she hasn't any clue who. There's something terrifying about not remembering if you took a life, even if such an act is too easy for someone like her.

When she's finally cleared to leave, there's a paranoia in her that maybe she isn't.

So she steers clear and packs a bag and runs away into the woods. But she at least leaves Linda little note this time, so she doesn't pull her hair out panicking. Out there where she can find comfort in isolation, she makes herself known on the network; she doesn't use text. It feels like an easy out.]


I do not remember... what happened. I know a man did something to make me hurt people, but...

[A pause, heavy and unsure how to proceed; but the guilt is there to carry her forward.]

I am sorry for any pain or suffering I caused.

I will be staying outside the wall for a little while, to make sure I am not a danger.

[She thought she'd maybe figure out something to say after that, but...

Her mouth just sort of freezes there.]

[Keith looked older when he started the video, and he had a new scar down the right side of his face. His hair was longer, and, when he shifted the video enough to get a glimpse of his shoulders, he looked broader. He also looked like he had a couple of bruises on the left side of his face, too.]

If you've seen Shiro's post, then yeah. We both got canisters this time. Stuff happened back home.

[He paused.]

Does anyone know how to change their username on this thing?

[Laura has not really been on the network much, since the kidnappings had happened. She had been scarce in general; just because she was held captive all her life, after all, did not make it any easier to be thrust back into that terrible sort of world. But now she's back and has at least had some time to try and heal from those nasty little metaphoricalwounds, chewing on her pencil thoughtfully before lowering it and smiling a little from where she sits at a table in the community housing..]

I am twelve now... I have never had a birthday before, so I am not sure what to do other than to say so; since I have been here for a year now, I have decided that August is my birth month.

[She grins a bit, rather impish.]

And since I do not have the exact day, I guess every day in August will have to be my birthday. Gracias.

[LAURA NO

Oh, the feed ended on that note.

Guess August is National Laura Month, so sorry.]

[When the video starts up, it's a little shaky, jostling as if the person behind the camera is trying to get situated. Eventually it evens out, and focuses on a creature a few yards away - about the size of a large cat, with the head of a chameleon and bulbous eyes, long body flocked in short, vibrant orange fur, a curled tail and four grasping little hands like a monkey. It has all four of those weird little 'hands' curled around a fallen stick, where it perches on the makeshift log in a field of tall grass, occasionally fluttering the set of dragonfly-like wings on its back.

Hiccup's soft voice comes from behind the camera.]
And this seems to be the natural habitat of the furred chameleon. It prefers tall grasses to hide from predators, although the bright colors make me think it might be venomous also. It's, uh, it's kind of the opposite of camouflage out here, so-

[As the furred chameleon opens its mouth, long tongue shooting out like a frog's to catch a colorful beetle buzzing by, the camera jostles again. A black shape blurs onto the screen, leaping into the stalks of tall grass and rolling joyfully.] Wait, Toothless-!

[The furred chameleon lets out an indignant trill and flies off. All that's left on screen is a delighted looking Night Fury, rolling around on his back like a cat in the grass, flattening a good sized patch of it. Dryly, Hiccup continues,] Well, there goes my biology extra credit. Is that- is that dragon-nip? Ah, we're gonna be here a while, huh, bud?

I'm not sure how many people she was able to tell about this, but it looks like D.Va is gone now. She got a chance to go back home and finish fighting the war in her own world.

I guess its a chance any one of us would have taken if they had been given it, but... she will be missed.

[He's really trying not to look sad about this, but it is rather hard. He had been close to her and now... she wasn't there]

[This is audio because Shiro really doesn't feel like showing his face. Maybe he's being a bit vain given the circumstances... but oh well]

I have a feeling I am not the only one, but I feel like death warmed over. Whatever this is is really annoying and pretty much nothing helps. I think I've hit the point of exhaustion where I just can't sleep anymore.

[In the background there's the sound of one of the lions, purring very close to the phone]

Okay, yes I see you. Some space please.

If I die from this, can someone put this on my grave - "he died as he lived - being attacked by robots".

[There's a very audible huff and the metallic sound of the lion stalking away]

Come on. I was joking. Ow...

[And that's when it cuts off.

[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.) ]

[ 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. ]

[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...

[This had been prompted by questions from others, making offers to help, and from Shiro and Keith talking to each other about said previous conversations.

So Shiro has decided to formally make the post. With Keith in the video as well since it is for both of them. So he had set up the video feed in their living room with Keith next time. If someone tried very hard, they might might see some animal of some sort sleeping on the stairs, only because animals didn't understand this was serious business and needed to be out of the shot. The lions luckily did.]


Hello, Quarantine. For those for those of you who don't know us, I'm Shiro and this is Keith. So we've received some requests from others for help recently so we wanted formally offer. We will be offering personal training sessions for anyone interested. Anything from learning to how to use the weight equipment to weekly training to sparring sessions both for those who have experience and those who don't.

[Keith glanced at Shiro for a second and then added a little at the end.]

We can work with you at the gym or here at the house if you don't want us to beat you up in public.

[He smirked a little, just teasing the audience.]

And he is apparently in a gym building befitting a high school, a clipboard looking terribly small under his massive arm. He has the usual signature smile and seems like someone who has had to do this very thing before; confidence always comes with time, and he's had to do so many television and school PSAs in his career, he's utterly prepared and spunky!]

Hello, it's me...



And I'm here to talk about Sex Education and you! Now, it's extremely important to know, during a very... active and festive month, how your body works, and to understand the ways to both protect you and your partner! Not only this, but learning about the threat of sexually transmitted diseases and informing yourself on contraceptives is extremely important!!

ATTACHMENT: STD AND STD SYMPTOMS
ATTACHMENT: SEX EDUCATION

If you would like contraceptives - condoms, birth control, and the like - or you have any questions, we'll have options available, visit your local clinic! Or feel free to come by the high school gymnasium to pick up some of our supplies here, at no cost! It's important to protect yourself, your partner, and your future plans! We also have pamphlets and video downloads. If you have any questions, do let me know!

I know there is a vast assortment of people here, with different walks of life, so remember - no question is a stupid question!

[ The video starts off shaky, clearly taken using the front-facing camera on a phone being wielded by a deeply intoxicated Cisco Ramon. He is pink-cheeked and bright-eyed and giggling so much he has difficulty speaking. ]

Heyooo Quarantine! Sup! Guess what?! It's my birthday today! That means I'm twenty fuckin' five, which means I'm totally old, and wise, and stuff. So I thought it'd be fun if y'all sent me, like, questions! For advice! You know, like Dear Abby, only instead it's Dear Cisco. I've been around a whole quarter of a century now so you best believe I've got plenty of knowledge I can drop on ya like that!

[ He lifts the hand not holding the phone, clearly meaning to snap, but realizes belatedly he's still holding a glass. He turns away from the screen, muttering a quick Babe, babe hold this for me- before handing off the drink to someone outside the shot. Then he looks at the camera once more and snaps, not loudly enough to be heard and late enough that it is unintentionally very comical. ]

It's cool if you send them anonymous or not, anything goes. Lemme help you make some good-ass choices in your life! Or if you're not feeling the advice game you could just like do some shout outs and holler at your loved ones.

Good evening. I know I may be overstepping my bounds, but I was wondering if anyone else might have heard a disturbing rumor flying about the quarantine regarding some...beetles of unusual size that are, if the terrified gossipers are to be believed, heading straight for us?

I'll save my opinions on the continued existence of over-sized insects for the time-being and simply suggest we do something about it before we're all trampled into beetle dust. Any takers?

I could use an opponent. I can spar all I like against myself, but that won't do me much good.

(Just keep in mind, even without magical powers, she can handle herself just fine. After dusting off her hands, she picks up the communicator and pans the picture, showing that she is right on the edge of the main civilization.)

hititwithacrowbar: (Jason - Towel fighting)
[personal profile] hititwithacrowbar
[ Jason was face down, asleep in bed, dressed only in a pair of boxers. A pile of tissues nearby, and the gun resting on the bedside table beside a mostly empty bottle of NyQuil. A shot had been taken just after the text conversation with Damian assured that he was dead to the world. He had assumed he was safe, that Damian wouldn’t really bother… boy was he wrong.]

[Wrong? He wasn't just wrong. He was out right stupid to think that he could issue a challenge to Damian and the teen would just let it got. Please, Damian didn’t know how to let things go. It didn't take Damian long to find Todd, but he waited until the cover of night and returned to the communal living, finding the might Red Hood passed out and drooling into his pillow.

The evidence of used tissues liter in the floor made it clear the man was ill. This was going to be too easy, Damian might’ve felt bad if care, but a point needs to be made. You don’t threaten his pets, call him pipsqueak or challenge Damian Wayne! He moves to the trunk by Todd's bed and find his uniform and some gear. Smirking, Damian takes out the grapple and ties the rope around Todd’s ankles.

He finds the man's network device, because well, why not give Todd a recording of his defeat? Once his trap was set, Damian moves to the head of Todd’s bed, removes the gun on the nightstand and taps Todd’s red nose to wake him.]


...Found you.

[He drawls before firing the grapple towards the ceiling.]


[ The grapple was strong for sure, all bat-gear was and it had to be strong enough to let him move from building to building… so it yanked him hard and fast out of bed for the ceiling the way Damian intended. His eyes had started to slowly open at the tap on his nose before his world flipped.

Oh shit. He was not in any shape for this. It was by some higher power that he didn’t puke all over the place with the first spin. He looked green for a moment before the rage overpowered the logic. And he screamed as mad as he could. His hands flailing trying to get Damian but instead he found one of his knives in the bed and started swiping for the younger boy.]


Fucking! Little son of a bitch! Get over here!

[ He yelled as he tried to pull his legs free, but damn Damian’s knots. He couldn’t try to stab him and cut himself free at the same time.]

That it! Your dead again!


[Damian just takes a step back when Todd starts flinging a knife at him. What is it that Damian has on the nightstand? Why it's Todd network device and he is recording your misery as we speak.

After all, you said you didn't like pictures, nothing about video.]


I warned you that round two was coming, Todd. [Damian ducks another knife swing and points at Todd dramatically.] Did you really think I wouldn’t take up your challenge? Like I'd ever turn down an excuse to rain ruin on you Todd. [He says, because you really just asked for this.]


[ Jason growled still swiping the knife Damian’s way, but misery was his true love it seemed, and a violent set of sneezes came in fast repetition. Which was life in general just laughing at him. He tried to swipe at Damian again once he got the sneezes stopped. Dizzy, half drugged and sick as hell. This was not his day… and the damn camera.]

Turn that shit off! I swear to god I’m going to bring the pain when I get down! [ He yelled at Damian.] Shut it off!
