I've been wondering about some things lately. I understand that I need to get some sort of job here. [Will laughs lightly.] But I'm afraid that I really don't know what I could do. I used to help care for the chickens and rabbit back home, but I don't think there would be much call for that here.

And I suppose there is jewelry. I've been taught a bit about engraving. But I don't really know whether that will be of any use either.

Does anyone have any ideas?

[Daenerys is smiling, far at more at ease with her surroundings. She is wearing a new dress, which might go, in part, to explaining why her mood is lifted. There is also a Kedan lingering behind her, sipping on some brew or another. Occasionally she turns, doing a fair job of speaking to him in his own language. They laugh and even exchange a kiss.

The Dragon Queen is making close acquaintances with the natives, it seems, though anyone who knows Daenerys Targaryen should not be surprised.]

I told him who I was in my world and he insisted on having me dress according to my rank!

[Oh it hadn't been as simple as that, but she doesn't really need to spell it out, does she?]

He is also teaching me the Kedan language. I'm a good student [And then some.] and I have never had difficulty with foreign tongues.

[She leans back in her seat, hair shining and recently tended to. One might notice that she is also in the Fire Sector. Without her fully noticing, her Kedan friend plays with some of her pale strands.]

Are there places on the turtle that are unexplored?

[Someone's really happy. The kind that just shows, even if you try to hide it. Not that she's trying very hard to hide it. It's not related to her message today, although it matches well with the excitement that follows.]

Hey guys, I know it's been a while since I used this thing, but a lot's happened since then. And one of those things is-- I finally have some work space for myself. So. I'd like to start putting it to some good use. That's where I'm hoping you all come in.

[Marinette is treating this as something of an interest check..]

I mentioned it before in passing, but I love sewing. Well, designing specifically. Clothes, accessories-- you name it. Whether it's recreating an old favorite or making something new a stylish, I want to offer my services to anyone interested.

And since my portfolio didn't exactly come with me, the first three people to submit a request can have them free of charge. I hope that once everyone sees what I can do, they'll be happy to trust me with their orders. It can be as specific or as vague as you want with them, but the more specific you get, the more information I'm going to need.

[...is that it? She thinks she covered everything she can think of. Well. Better make sure, just to be safe.]

Right. So. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.

Can anyone tell me anything about this 'dust' substance?

I thought that we'd left it behind when we made landfall, but it seems to be something that is still appearing and causing problems.

I've taken a few samples to study at the college, but since its not new, I don't want to tread old ground.

[ Marinette is no stranger to electronics-- a few clicks here, a few clicks there and... she pretty much has the hang of it. At least the jist of what she needs in order to use the console.

On the other hand, the speaking part...? ]

Oh... eheheh. Hi, I'm Marinette.

[ She waves awkwardly at the screen. ]

I'm still trying to put everything together but... I think I understand the basics. Since this is my first time out on my own, I thought maybe I should get some help. Where do people live here? [ ... ] And how can I make some money? I'm pretty good with my hands. [ Specifics, Marinette... specifics. ] ...My baking isn't as good as my dad's, but I did learn from a pro. Oh! And I love sewing, so... there's... that...

[ This whole thing has gone pretty smoothly so far. Huh. Great. ]

I think that's... it for now. Anything you can tell me would be really great, thanks!

[The video opens up to a strange-looking, almost derelict building. It's still standing, but looks like it hasn't been used for years. It's a little weird there would be a console there at all, honestly. But here one is. Adrien looks pretty confused as to why he's here, too. Like this isn't the place he expected to wake up today. Which...is actually pretty accurate.]

Uh. Hi everyone. I think Anton is playing a practical joke on us again. Though...I hope my bed shows up again at some point. Waking up on the floor wasn't what I'd call super fun. It's actually less fun than waking up on the ceiling, for those taking score.

[A little bit of Chat-attitude is slipping out there, but he doesn't correct it. He has other things to deal with; another reason for coming on the console. He's already lost Solomon, someone he genuinely looked up to, thought the world of, and now.... For for the briefest of moments, something like pain crosses his face. He quickly replaces it with that pleasant countenance of his. Adrien deals with loss so much, he can wear it like a backpack. It's easier in the long run not to let it show how deep it hurts. Or rather, that's what he's been raised to believe. As such, his voice is steady, as he delivers his news.]

Marinette Dupain-Cheng has gone home, for those that knew her.

[He imagines there are some. Marinette is a friendly girl. Still, he doesn't want people worrying about her, or worse; HIM. He still can't manage a smile, but he quickly adds:]

It's a good thing. She'll be happier and safer back home. Her family are there, and her best friend. It's where she belongs. So it's...good.

[Still hurts, though. She was a real and honest link to home. Someone he knew, someone who knew him. They lived in the same city, saw the same crazy stuff, they were friends. And yet...he feels relieved too. It means he doesn't have to worry about her learning he's Chat. Is it wrong he should be relieved about that? It feels...selfish. It doesn't sit right with him. ]

I just thought you might want to know.

[Avery looks positively joyous.]

Guys! Guys! Look who I found!

[They hold up a very annoyed-looking white Persian cat who could probably stand to lay off the Frisky Bits. "Mrak," says the cat.]

Mochi showed up! That means other cats might come too! So, let me know if you find any; bring them by A Cat's Paw! We're in the Sky Sector, and I have a lot of food, so I can take care of them. Also, if you want a job...we're definitely hiring.

["MRAK!" Mochi says, and the feed ends.]

This is ridiculous!

[There is a small boy scowling up into the console's video feed with a highly offended expression on his face. Not that it was easy to see that much. Even standing on a stool he is barely tall enough to reach the console.]

There can't be a turtle that big. If it was real it would be completely violating the square-cube law. Even presuming that it was possible for a turtle to grow this big, a biological creature cannot scale up like this. The larger an animal grows, the less its proportional muscle strength. According to that law, this turtle shouldn't even be able to move and there should be severe problems with its cardiovascular and respiratory functions. Even if we factor in the exception for buoyancy in sea creatures, this is still far too big. How is it possible for this to exist?

[Belatedly, he realizes that had been just a tiny bit advanced for an ordinary seven-year-old. He hastily pastes on a bright childish smile.]

I saw a program about it on television once! It was really interesting.

[ When the feed starts, Sheena doesn't say anything right away, but even though she's looking to the side, it's obvious by what can be seen of her expression that she's very confused.

Finally, she turns to the monitor, then quickly back before slowly dragging her focus again to the monitor. ]

Okay, tremors I can understand. We are on a turtle after all.

But is it me, or is the shell starting to glow?

[ And she turns to the side again before cutting the feed. ]

Sooooo...

[Fletch is using a console at the Healer's Guild, reclined back in his chair, looking generally thoughtful.]

I've heard from people that there used to be some sort of social gathering with all the Foreigners before the Malicant thing spread and... well, kinda destroyed most of everything. Well...

...Would anyone be interested in helping start that up again? Like, every two weeks have a sort of social night, get local businesses in who are looking to hire, invite the kedan, get everyone sort of mingling... Who knows? It might help. And god knows we all need to socialise a bit more.

[He shifts a bit.]

Now, I don't have much time to organise all this by myself, so I'd like to float the idea to other people, see if I can get some help. Kedan and Foreigner, both would be great, honestly, because then we can arrange stuff for both sides, and, to be honest, if I was just organising it, it would just be pub quizzes.

Oh, we'll also need a place to hold it, so if anyone's got a spare large conference room knocking around, that'd be great.

[He grins.]

So, come on, people. Stop being boring. Let's get out and socialise, eh? What's the harm?

shroudofgray

Hello.

[She gives a small nod of greeting at the screen.]

I would like to be able to make more money and I asked the Kedan how I can do that. They said to have a job is the best way.

I am very good at finding things, so this now is my job. If you have lost something, I will find it if you give me money. You do not have to give me money, I will find it anyway. But it would be nice. There are books about how to make cakes that I would like to buy.

I am Yorda, and I live at the hotel.

[This is definitely how you successfully entrepreneur rite?]

[The back of a giant turtle probably is the strangest place he's ever been. There's some close seconds - like the bottom of the ocean for a few decades, or riding a chunk of a flying city that's threatening to come crashing down.

Speaking of:]

Natasha? Do you copy?

[His breath comes out in a frosty little cloud. He remembers the air getting thinner, but not this cold. The last thing Steve remembers at all was talking to her, so if he's lucky, maybe she's here too.

But it's not the first time that he's felt like he's alone in a world that's not his own. With or without a response, Steve will carry on.]

My name is Steve Rogers. I was hoping that other members of my team might be out there. From what I've been told since my arrival, I understand that there was a war here not so long ago. I was wondering if anyone had more information about that. Maybe something that wasn't included?

[Because if there's one thing he's learned, it's that there's always a little more to the story. Steve looks down at something, that little crease forming in his forehead.]

Someone once gave me some advice about starting over. I'm not sure this is what she meant by that, but I'll do my best while I'm here. So I'll be happy to talk to anyone who needs help. If anyone else has suggestions on how to stay busy here, I'll listen to those too.

holbydelboy

Haaaas anyone seen Enjolras recently?

[Fletch's concerned face appears on the console. He's frowning down at a file.]

Come to think of it, Dove's MIA, too. [Damn. He scrubs a hand over his face.] If anyone's seen them, can you get them to contact me? This is putting a huge strain on the Guild.

Uh, just a heads-up that we might be a bit overstretched until we get this sorted.

Thanks.

omnivident

So, does anyone else find the never-ending winter annoying or is that just me?

[ Yes, he is kind of fed up with the constant cold, sleet, and snow. It's May for Pete's sake. ]

Ahem, besides that...[ a momentary pause-- he really doesn't want to be considered crazy for what he's about to say. ] did anyone else get visited by a small child that didn't say anything?

Private to Klaus

Sir, are you, uh, busy right now?

[Adrien appears on the console screen at the Midnight Hotel, looking more than a little perturbed. His usual mask of friendly politeness is starting to show some cracks. While the politeness remains, there's a small sense of being rattled underneath it all. Images from his dream haunt his mind and he knows, he knows they're memories. Not dreams.

Though the memories from home are bad enough; particularly those surrounding his father and the horrible realisation than the man knows more than he's letting on, the way Adrien got these memories is worrying him a lot more.]

Hello! It's Adrien.. obviously, sorry. I just wanted to check in to see if anyone else has ever had something here happen to them. I'm probably worrying over nothing.

So. I just woke up with a bunch of memories from home. Memories I definitely didn't have when I went to sleep last night. I always thought that process was different, that you-

[That you went to Milyn. But she's gone. The reminder is like a punch to the gut and Adrien grimaces in spite of himself. Maybe that's why this has happened?]

That it was different, is all. Any insight or information anyone has would be very much appreciated, thank you!

[[OOC: Adrien has indeed gone through a more unusual canon point. Yay for him.]]

yoyoparkour

[Alright, she's got this, she can totally do this. Not for the first time, Marinette is incredibly glad people talk to each other here through things that she cannot hope to drop. Because if it was something like her phone?

Yeah, she would have dropped it by now. As it is, she's smiling brightly into the screen as she waves.]

Hello! My name is Marinette and I just got here!

[Yes thank you Marinette that is very helpful.]

Oh. That's probably obvious. Well, it's true! And I can sort everything out on my own, but- well, I don't have much money yet. I was wondering, where is somewhere I can go that has inexpensive foods? I'm not picky, but if there are cookies that would be wonderful.

[Gotta feed that kwami, after all.]

Thank you!

problematical

[ OOC: In relation to this event. The video feed from the console in the lobby of the Midnight Hotel is still showing a bit of static as it boots back up from the unexpected power loss and restart. In the background, the lights are also beginning to power back on. ]

Circuits stop and start, follow the path of least resistance, avoids the open loop. You can't make water flow uphill, but maybe we don't have to... we just need to complete the circuit.

[ a pause ]

We just knocked.

[Following up on a conversation with Tu Yunxu at the truth party, Pepper appears on the video looking a little pensive. She's totally not just doing this for Yunxu, but with all the things they've had going on recently it's no wonder there haven't been any big, new developments.]

So, uh, now that we've gotten ourselves anchored and aren't sinking anymore, does anyone have ideas on next steps to waking Tu Vishan up? I know I'm not really much help in that area, but I'm betting everyone would be happier if he was awake. Just after some brainstorming here.

flybyshooting

Not to be a spoilsport. I'm enjoying all the parties and naked frolicking as much as the next man, but...

...Is anyone else perturbed by the proximity of a chunk of what is clearly some manner of Nethecite?

Anyone? Or need I explain myself more thoroughly?

[Solomon smiles brightly as he comes onscreen, lounging in an armchair in his customary shirt, waistcoat, tie. The only concession is that the tie is loosened. Those who don't know him will notice he has a faint Irish accent, and may notice the very faint scars around his eyes as well as the fact his gaze is unfocussed.]

I have a request. It seems someone decided to throw a party, and it was absolutely vital for my fiance to attend while I've been left all alone. She also happened to ... borrow one of my waistcoats. I'm thusly led to believe that there's going to be an exchange in gendered clothing.

To translate: Anton Shudder and Erskine Ravel will be in drag. Possibly a few others as well. Someone go out and take a video for the poor, neglected blind man. Not pictures. Pictures are useless. You could sculpt or engrave, I suppose, but video is probably easiest.
