[willofjustice]

[The video twists in a dizzying circle. First one way, then another. Images of a suite spin past, too neat to likely ever have been used.]

Okay . . . Okay.

[The voice is a girl’s, high-pitched and uncertain, wavering slightly. Finally the image jolts suddenly; the user has plopped to the floor, stilling entirely. The microphone picks up one quiet, shuddering breath.]

If there’s a way on, there’s a way off, isn’t there? I mean . . . there’s options. If it’s an island and an ocean, maybe there’s other land around somewhere. If it’s a city, there’s probably libraries to look up things, and if there’s an Emperor . . . maybe she can be reasoned with. She’s got people too, right? People depending on her . . . Justice behind her.

[Silence for a long minute.]

Right. No need to worry yet.

I can do this.

[She wishes that were quite as confident as it sounded.]


((ooc: My brain apparently failed and forgot it's a console, not a handheld device. With replies, it's a little late to fix, so please ignore that part and I will do all new poses as though it's a console. *so embarrassed*))

[ A girl in a large bonnet peeks at the screen curiously. ] … Is this working? Ah, I think it is! Or at least I hope so; I hope I’m not speaking to no one… [ She pauses, her eyebrows furrowing. That would be really embarrassing, wouldn’t it? Quickly, she smiles and clasps her hands together, attempting to regain her composure and make a nice introduction for herself. ] Never mind that, I’ll assume from this point on that you are able to hear me.

It is a pleasure to be in your company. I am called Cosette. I’ve never had a chance to befriend so many people and the people here seem exciting certainly. I hope we are able to get along at the very least.

[ Cosette laughs slightly, wondering what her father would think of all this. With that thought, she stops herself and puts on a much more serious face than before. ]

If possible, I would like to know if any of you have spoken to or heard of a Monsieur Fauchelevent. [ Another pause and she remembers someone else she'd like to find. If her father could be here, then so could he. ] And I am also looking for Marius Pontmercy. If you know of either of them, it will be a great help to me. It is very important that I find them, you see. Still, thank you for your time. [ She gives a small smile and stops the video there. ]

Skipping the bullshit and heading right into the formalities here.
Fresh fish stepping up to the bars of this prison to say while it's an inconvenience to be here we could always take this as a chance to expand on our knowledge of other cultures and worlds, hell maybe even other species as there's no limit to the possibilities before us.

So yo, what's up? Name's Di-Stri and I build sweetass bots in my spare time. You provide materials and I might be able to work something out for anyone who's interested, anything from something to keep you company to a full on death battle bot to fight with. Artificial intelligence included might cost a bit more than me simply being bored as it takes up more time and effort and such a delicate technology has to be handled with care on a case by case basis.

What about the rest of you? Any special sets of skills, hobbies or even traditions you liked to indulge in back in your worlds?

Ahoy fellow citizens!
Ive just arrived on this phenomenal island and thought it would be quite discourteous of me to not introduce myself now that im all settled.
The names english. Jake english. *double pistols and a wink*
If youve heard of me please do contact me asap i would love to catch up with any friends especially since some of you might already be here what with time stopping back home and all. I hope at least someone has!
Ive never seen a swimming turtle island before.
I cant refute i wish i could have had my own personal one to carry my own island around!
It would have been a lot easier going to visit jane if i could have just swam up there and arrived in style on the back of a large sea creature! Haha the look on her face would be priceless shed be so flabbergasted!
May i inquire if anyones done much exploring outside of the city?
Im a man of adventure you see and if theres anything thats been left untouched why i would give up my right leg to be the first to explore it!

[OOC: Jake has a unique way of typing so I apologize for all the grammar and punctuation problems 8D]

[Shelby's pretty much gotten the hang of this communication thing. She watched carefully when that kedan had shown her what to do, and she's been watching Garrett from the background. Whose terminal she is using now. She's just not the best at communicating or people skills, so she pretty much just stares at the screen for a few minutes, as if she's unsure of what to do or say now that she's set it up. Enjoy having someone stare intently at you, everyone, and be glad that it's not in person for now.

After another moment, she finally speaks. Her voice is soft and low.] My name is Shelby Rook. I'm looking for a dragon. He's about the size of a pony, dark red in color, breathes fire. I have found the other person the dragon was with, so I can only assume he might be here as well. He answers to Bubbles. [A pause, and then a slight smile.] Try to not run from him; he is still a deadly predator, regardless of size. [And it'd suck if people started going after her dragon for such a silly thing like him eating them or something.]

[She leans back somewhat, head tilting.] I have been told we are to work here. I... have a varying set of skills, including some medical training. [And other things. You want a bitch killed? She'll kill a bitch. She likes killing bitches.] Thank you.

[Contrary to his usual charming self, Courfeyrac looks nearly heartbroken as he faces the feed.]

I lost it. I already lost it and I don't know how I'm going to replace it. Surely I cannot charm my way into another hat... And I'm not entirely certain I wish to! This one I had deemed my lucky one until I could find one more of my fashion in this place!

[He sighs and dramatically slumps, burying his face in his hands.]

And here I had dared to believe my luck had changed here.

 [ the feed shows Peeta sitting in his room, rubbing the back of his hand against his forehead in exhaustion. he's covered in flour and sweat]

With the rations...it's hard to say how long the bakery can stay open for. [ he rolls his shoulders] Needless to say, it's going to only be plain bread and more plain bread for a while. 

[ he rubs his hands together ]

I'm. Not sure how I feel about reacquisitions. 

Has anyone said what they're going to be doing with one-fifth of everyone's earnings? [ he frowns, clearly nervous ]
