eleven : everybody's looking for something [BART'S CONSOLE]

[everylittlegirl]

[The video clicks on to Hayley sitting at a console that is not at all her own. The observant, familiar, or technologically savvy might recognize it as Bart's. She's looking casually off screen, her attitude as if picking up in the middle of an existing conversation and not meaning to make a separate post. It is, of course, an act. She means it to seem unintentional because the person it's meant for will know it's not.]

I know what I said, but Hannibal being gone changes things and maybe- okay, not maybe: I agree. That's what you wanted, right? I'm not Luke or Lex. I'm not going to be a villain.

[She looks at the camera and gives a little shrug.]

Your turn, by the way.

[Mera is sitting at the console in her suite in the Water district, twirling a strand of her hair around her finger. She looks as though she isn't quite sure what to say or how to say it, which is really rare for her]

I don't quite understand it but...I think I was sent back home and then returned here. I wasn't aware that kind of thing could happen but apparently it can. It's strange. There doesn't even feel like there's a gap in my memory. I'm not even quite sure how long I was..."gone". Although, would it even be considered "returning home"? I'm not sure how you would phrase what it is.

[She waves the thought off and changes her focus to something a little more important] That's not the point. If I worried anyone I previously spoke to, I'm sorry. It wasn't my intention. Have I missed much? [She pauses again, looking conflicted and then manages a small smile. The public video shuts off then and switches over to a private one intended for just Arthur and Kaldur. She's not 100% sure they're both still here but if they are...well, they'll see this]

[The video feed shows Toad (in all his scummy green glory) focused and frowning as he messes with the console. It’s not like there wasn’t an explanation, but he’s bad at listening. And refraining from touching things.]

Ah… freakin’… stupid… Heeeey, it’s workin’!

[He immediately brightens. Then scowls again when he remembers what he turned it on for.]

So, uh, I'm new. Hi. Anyway, how cool are people with this deal? Maybe someday do something to fight the weird evil whatever it is, get a house on turtle island?

[The roof over his head aspect is actually quite a selling point for Toad. And there's something unnatural about admitting he exists on some kind of public channel and not just hiding in the shadows, but it seems to be what people do here.]

‘Cus that’s stupid, but how stupid? Is it worth playin’ along? I didn’t see a lot of dumpsters to dive in and stuff, so can you even be, like, no, fight your own monster, I’ll be over here, hiding. Do you actually get in trouble or go to turtle jail?

[He’s a follower. And a coward. Having some idea of how much of a tantrum he can get away with throwing will be helpful.]

...Toad out.

[ This is Pike's first post on the network, but he didn't think it was going to be for this reason. ]

For those who know him, Commander Spock is gone [ again, apparently ], has been since this morning. He's left most of his possessions with Jim Kirk. Should anyone have any questions about or claims to them, you're free to contact me.

[ Since he's pretty damn sure Jim wouldn't want to talk to anyone about this just yet, anyway. ]

My name is Christopher Pike.

[ It's short and simple, but he doesn't think that Spock will have it any other way, anyway. The most important bit has been said and done, after all. ]

[The first thing the network sees is a big piece of paper with something written in it with dark ink, and careful calligraphy. For those who understand, it says 'Fai Zhang son of Emily Zhang', 'The strongest dragon of them all' ... and 'I like rice'.

Grandma Zhang had really tried to teach him Chinese but he had barely listened, okay, it was actually hard for him to remember that much.]

So... [After a few moments he moves the paper from the camera and the network gets a view of Frank, looking slightly awkward. It's been a while since he made an actual post on the network. Ever since he lost his voice, actually.] Is there anyone who can understand this? It's Chinese, at least that's what it's called where I'm from. If so, could you teach me? I'll pay.

I'm not sure how much I should pay for this, so just... pick your price? Like, I'm not loaded or anything so keep that in mind.

[He shrugs. Really bad at this, for srs.]

Also, I was given this. [He shows the network... a little bag of purple candy. Or what looks like candy anyway.] By Milyn, that [Uh] really happy doctor who helped us all when we ghosted out and later, to recover what we'd missed and cleansing in the ritual. She's nice, or she seems nice, but yeah.

Candy given by strangers. You see how that could end up badly. So is there anyone who could analize it or something? Tell me if it's safe for consumption? I'll also try to pay for that. [Rich kid, never really had to think about money, etc.]

Thanks!
