[A man sits back in his chair after he activates the feed. He's an older man, late forties, early fifties, with golden-blond hair and a beard that resembles a lion's mane. His glittering green eyes are framed by his easy smile.

When he speaks, his voice is smooth, refined, a man of learning and stature, if ever there was one, but his tone is kept neutral. Almost carefully so.]

Good morning. My name is Alek Reyne, and, quite clearly, I am new to the city. I come to you in order to find out what manner of occupation is available to... I believe we're called Foreigners, correct?

[The name doesn't sit right with Alek, but... When in Pentosh?]

I thought it would be best to secure gainful employment as soon as possible. To elaborate, my skills as a fighter are, perhaps, the most pertinent. I am a trained knight, and have, alas, seen many battles and wars pass through my homeland that my skills are kept sharp. I also have experience in law enforcement.

[A pause.]

As for less... violent skills, my family are experienced in handling gold and silver, we are well known for our business enterprises and managing accounts. King's Counter, I may not be, but I know how to balance books and run things smoothly.

If what I have said entices someone, feel free to contact me. I will be happy to demonstrate anything that I have said on request.

I'll admit, this... technology is not something I am used to, so it may be worth visiting the hotel for a speedier response. I will usually be found in the common areas.

Thank you.

[the boy who appears on the screen is a handsome one, with artfully scruffed brown hair, hazel eyes, and a small, friendly smile. he looks directly into the camera with the sort of confidence that comes from public speaking experience.]

Well then. I feel a bit like a tourist on a very, very strange island. As much as I do enjoy traveling, most of the time I attempt to prepare more thoroughly.

[another little smile, this one more wry.]

In any case, my name is Gansey, and I'm looking for a companion. An exploration companion, to be precise. Maps are delightful, but actually learning your way around a place is even better. An experienced Traveler with some free time or other newcomers like me would be equally welcome. I'll be here in the Hotel lobby for a bit, and I've picked up one of those handset radios if that's your preferred method of communication.

[he gives a bit of a wave, and the video goes dark.]

[ Okay, so it's obvious Sheena's a little excited when the feed comes on--if that huge grin is any indication. So different than the last month or so. ]

Hey! Have you guys been in the Earth Sector lately? They're making clay pots. vases, bowls, stands... Okay, you might want to check everything out. Anyway, you can take one and paint it for free, then have them finish it for you--for a small price.

[ She holds up the vase that she did. ]

I'd say it's worth it! Not only can you be creative, but it helps the kedan out as well.

[ A pause. She's literally buzzing with energy right now. ]

Sooo... I think I'll go make some more. Who wants to join me? Or... I can make one for you if you like! See you later!

[ And the feed ends. ]

Hello. Hi. The handsets seem to be nicer now. I think I'd still just to have it programmed to run through my phone. Tony-

Is Tony still here? He worked on it last time.

[ That was a thing that happened, right? People left. And some came back, apparently. ]

Are other people here? That I know?

Right! This is Sonja. Maybe some people remember me. I probably sound different, it's been- [ How long has it been? It's not like... the memories are super clear. She had thought this was a dream, maybe. A dream that had been forgotten. ]

It's been awhile.

[ Bisi exits her home in a bit of a panic. She'd fallen out of bed and scrambled into her chair and then bolted out of her house - before remembering to go back and grab her radio.

But what does she even say? She left Mag with Kylo Ren and she has no idea what's going to happen. ]

H-hello is anyone in the sky sector? I- I need help.

bostonhowler

Well.

[ Here's someone not seen for a while. She looks a little disheveled, but otherwise, whole and hearty. ]

I think I disappeared from here? The date seems to be quite different from what I remember. I've already stopped by and seen that the shelter is still running.

[ The paperwork is a mess, but she'll straighten that out soon enough. ]

On to more important business. I need help at the shelter. Several people would be ideal, but what I need is a head honcho. [ Yes, she just said that. ] There's relatively little money in it, but doing good works is its own reward?

[ To Jackie: ]

Are you still here, Jackie? I'm sorry I disappeared, I just went to sleep and when I woke up an entire month had passed. It's a bit disconcerting, really.

Does anyone mind me asking a couple of questions? It isn't something very personal, at least I don't think it would be for the most part, but okay...

(Then.)

Has anyone here ever met someone who is a different version of someone you know? If you have, what did you do? Try to be friends if you were in the past with the other version or did you just let things happen as they were going to?

Oh, hey...this log...

I don't have to do that here, do I? Well, alright, that makes things slightly easier and less formal, but I guess I have to explain things again... (Not like he has been formal or proper in any of his past logs, anyway?) So, the name's Mark Watney and I'm deciding to go with the quick explanation, so if something doesn't make sense - just ask, I don't want to have to try to think of every single thing right now...

Basically, where I'm from...that version of Earth, anyway... we've been going to Mars for a little while, about 2 missions completed and mine and then at least two more after that - if they don't cancel the missions - and basically a series of weird circumstances happened coupled with a set of weird circumstances that somehow lead to me surviving - I got myself stuck on Mars. Yeah, stuck. They thought I was a dead man, but nooooo I have to like a cat with the whole nine lives thing. Or a zombie. Or some other thing... zombie would be pretty sweet, though. But not like the whole romantic comedy type.

(Mark actually tries to chuckle and manages it but he's just going to sit there and wince at the same time. Note to anyone who asks? Body slamming a detached airlock hurts after the third time, same with being thrown around like a rag doll - do not recommend if you can avoid it.) In any case, I was kind of in the middle of a situation before I woke up here and my face plate kind of got f....messed up. Sh...crap, it's not sinking in that I don't have that thing here with me. It's back in the rover. That's going to be really, really bad if I figure out how to get out of here and back to the red dusted hellhole.

(He frowns.) Well, at least it was sealed, I guess and even if I come up with a plan it's not like I'm gonna remember it, anyway, right? (But, what else is he going to do? Sit and twiddle his thumbs all day? Nah, that just sounds lame.)

In any case, you have no idea how glad I am that there are other people here. No idea at all.

(It hasn't been a day at a carnival, that's for sure.)
