[It was a lovely day for a Network Post, wouldn't you agree, residents of Keelai? The sun was shining...~~the tank was clean~~...and Zatanna was sitting in front of a public console with the brightest smile she'd worn in a long time. Cheesy, at first, and definitely purposely over-the-top (her boss had clearly put her up to this, and she clearly was going along with it for giggles), but even as time went on and it melted away into something more genuine, her aura continued to project sheer happiness at life, the universe, and everything. For now.]

[Although the casual onlooker might be more interested in the unusual outfit she was wearing. Which she very deliberately paired off with her favorite charmed choker, not even caring that it didn't match the rest of the ensemble.]

Do you know what the Future Holds? ...that's okay, neither do I. But together, we can probably managed to squeeze a few hints out of it...with these.

[Smirking, she held up one hand, then flicked her wrist in such a way that a deck of cards appeared in hand. Magically.]

[Of course, those who knew her spells well enough would recognize the fact that she hadn't uttered a single backwards word. The trick was legitimate sleight-of-hand. No cheating.]

Spring Special: all tarot card readings, half off for the entire Month of April.

Admit it. You know you're curious.

[And on that note, she sent one last wink directly into the camera before signing off.]

[You may be pleased to know, certain residents of Keelai, that Aya had no intentions of offering another long-winded highly detailed technical analysis of...whatever it is she's up to at the moment. In fact, her latest message is surprisingly simple:]

It has been brought to my attention that my choice of vocabulary and diction is considered...unnecessarily formal by some.

[To put it mildly.]

I have made several attempts to alter my speech patterns, but have realized that I still lack a more concise understanding of what precisely entails formal versus familiar speech. Therefore, I am seeking any an all information regarding more colloquial expressions or terms that may be used in everyday conversation, which I will do my best to learn and subsequently employ accordingly.

Thank you.

[Her eyes narrow, however, when the following message is delivered. Anger was not quite an accurate assessment of her emotions at that particular moment...but annoyance wouldn't have been a stretch.]

You did not follow through with your agreement to meet with me last month, and have since done nothing to rectify this error.

I wish to know why.

Stupid piece of crap...

[Really, he knows how to use devices, he's just... really frustrated and mostly angry right now.]

Vergil! [Can't find his number? Call him out. He won't hear the end of this, Dante knows it, but he doesn't actually care because there are bigger issues than dealing with his paranoid twin getting his thong in a twist over shouting his name.] What the fuck is going on? You said we were going to the real world, not this place! A basin? Are you serious? Your damn number of the beast and the pentagram got us here? I know magic is your thing, but I did not sign up for this!

Answer your phone, brother, I know you can use one.

[The woman’s white hair is a shaggy mess, still slightly damp; her expression is pensive, even calm considering the sudden change in locale and the heavy infodump regarding the current situation. Well, it’s not like other worlds are entirely a new idea to her, anyway.]

My name is Raine Sage. I'm newly arrived here, perhaps obviously. I suppose I should start by saying that I’m skilled with healing artes, and if anyone here has need of such things, you should seek me out. Yes, even if it’s in the middle of the night. [The ghost of a rueful smile. What can you do? Teenagers especially don’t care to be convenient about when they get injured.] As I understand it, danger is becoming more and more prominent, and sleep is easier to reclaim than life.

On that note, from what I've heard so far, the scope of the problem currently facing this world seems astronomical, to say the least. I’m not yet sure where to start, but I intend to render my assistance in any way possible. [An invitation, perhaps, to suggest applications for her intellect. They just fixed their world. The too-well-named evil here will simply have to be stopped before it can follow anyone home. She’ll stake her life for that.]

And, of course, if there's anyone out there who traveled with us, or knew of the Chosen, Colette, I would welcome a familiar face. [The fate of the known universe aside, it’s hard to be by yourself when you’ve become accustomed to company. A heavy exhalation.]

[Then, a complete aside, half to herself:] ...now, what was it I heard them saying about ruins...

[She may have to be dissuaded from mounting a full-scale expedition.]

goodanswer

uh hi everyone - new comrades i guess? my name is yosuke hanamura.

this place is CRAZY. i feel like im at a theme park or somethin. but, we r here to fight a big evil guy, huh? i guess i should be thankful im sorta a veteran for that kind of thing, at this point. not 2 brag.

[If you think he's bragging even through the text, don't worry. He's totally bragging.]

but that isnt even the weirdest thing about this. ill just say that, hopefully this will b the last time i wake up in a tub of water w/ a bunch of weirdos around me. they might as well have drawn sumthin on my face w/ a marker while they were at it. nnnnnot exactly the best first impression. and like what am i supposed to do now? its nice i got a place to live but im at a loss aside from that u know.

anyway, im looking for my friends. we r from inaba, a town in yamanashi prefecture. if any of u know people from there plz let me know.

or,hey if hey u guys see this, message me. and tell me wtf is going on... and that all this fog is a coincidence & not something i should flip about...

[The video feed pops on: in front of a blank, undecorated wall, there is a woman of pencil-straight posture, with a serious and somewhat serene look on her face. This is Milla: even-tempered until she’s given a reason to be otherwise. Her hair is still wet - it takes some time to dry twenty years’ growth, and she had planned on wasting no time in finding her friends and a purpose in this world. In fact, with the way its sopping yellow mass sits around her face… her hair had, perhaps, not crossed her mind at all. And despite the relative chill in the air, she has made no effort to put on anything warmer than what appears to be a crop top.]

Yes, hello there. This is Milla Maxwell speaking.

[She nods her wet head once, understanding from the screen that her movement and voice have registered to the network. So while she might be new to these kinds of things, preferring to leave them to the more technologically-minded members of her party to activate and/or destroy, she has executed this video program without an issue.]

I understand that the concept of Maxwell does not exist in this world, and the spirits appear largely unreachable. It is my understanding that this is the last remaining turtle of many... other than the young turtles I have witnessed on my way here. Have these been bred to replace Tu Vishan's dead brethren? And is there a force protecting them? If possible, I would like to assist in that.

If that means fighting, then so be it.

[Okay, she’s gotten to the point. She nods once, then leans into the camera a little bit, eyes widening as she strokes her chin.]

I do look forward to finding my place in this foggy world.

[r-r-r-r-rumble. That's her stomach.]

...I also look forward to dinner.

[It has been a very interesting two months for Aya thus far. The young not-so-Artificial Intelligence has already learned so much. About Keelai. About the multiverse. About her fellow Foreign "visitors" and, perhaps most importantly, about herself. And how little she actually knows about herself, and the circumstances surrounding her apparent unique creation.]

[Which is what brings her to the Network for a third time. Her eyes are shining with their usual curiosity, although this time, they are enhanced by a certain...hesitation behind them. An uncertainty that emphasizes her surprisingly (and deceptively) young age.]

There is something I am curious about. As your localized Network System appears to be the best place to make such public inquiries, I have chosen to make mine here as well.

[Somehow, when she preempts with this rather innocent statement, it sounds like she's apologizing for wasting everyone's time. Despite the importance to her, personally.]

I have had several conversations regarding...memories. In particular, those that people are able to access, and those they are not. It has been drawn to my attention that, upon departing from this world, any and all memories of this place are to be deleted from one's memory banks without fail. [She is not okay with this, of course, and yet this is still not the main focus of her post.] It has also been drawn to my attention that there are certain memories in which the majority of organic beings are capable of retaining as well as forgetting.

I was programmed to never forget. And yet...I have been made aware that there are certain events which must have occurred in my life that I cannot remember. I find this both curious and disconcerting. Which is why I must ask:

Is it common for one to possess no memories of the circumstances surrounding one's birth?

More so, I am also curious as to precisely what kinds of memories everyone appears to retain best.

[[PRIVATE MESSAGE - TONY STARK (MCU)]]

[Shortly after her more public message, one in a drastically different change of tone will appear on Tony's screen. For either him or JARVIS to encounter first]

I have completed the designs of the sweaters--[here, a small image of said sweater will appear on his screen for visual]-- you requested for the office. Pending your approval, and a total count of sweaters necessary, I shall proceed to create one for each member of the company.

I know it's a long shot but if anyone sees a large groundhog with a hat and a vest out today, tell him thank you for me!

[ Someone's pretty gleeful that today's weather is bright! Casting shadows everywhere! Six more weeks of winter for him! ]

[He thought a good night’s sleep would cure him from this weariness, but when he woke up in the room he remembered seeing in his dream well that was more than enough information to let him know this was real. It’s not the giant turtle that gets to him or even this sector with canals and fountains. No, it all reminds him of home. What gets him is him being drafted into some unknown war by some noble. That’s unreal. Maybe if he were a knight, it’d be different, but he discarded that idea some time ago.

Playing with the console he was taught how to use, he figured he may as well see if he can really transmit a message. If he was fooled, well, it’ll make him look like an idiot to anyone within an earshot of him. If he wasn’t, then this would be a good way to find some useful information.]

So, we’ve been brought here to fight a war, right? I’m sure that’s a question you’ve all heard lots of time from newbies like me. I get that, really, but shouldn’t I get some say in whether I want to fight? [His voice sounds weary, still tired from all this despite getting sleep. More or less finding displeasure in this situation.] Whatever, I’m stuck here, aren’t I? May as well do what I can. [Not that he sounds enthusiastic about this.]

Is there some sort of training facility around? I mean, if they want us to fight, we gotta keep up with our skills, right? If not, I’d love to have a sparring partner or two. [He grins at this point, excited at the thought of fighting otherworldy people. Are they strong? Can they actually put a scratch on him? If they can kick his ass then that’s even better. It’ll help Yuri get stronger.]

Also, I was told I needed to ‘find a job’. [He almost scoffs at this statement. The only jobs he’s had are guild jobs. Oh, and being a knight, but that didn’t go well.] I’m pretty handy with a sword and a spatula, so there’s my resume. [Cooking is even better because that gets him close to sweets to satiate his sweet tooth. He’d call that pretty even pay.]

Well, hope this went through. If not, then I probably made myself sound like an idiot trying. [He gives a lopsided grin, chuckling at the end as he’s trying to figure out how to send this and turn it off. After a few seconds of fumbling, he finally gets it.]
