[ Jack looks and sounds better than he has in the last week or two, a combination of the cold weather snap and feeling like he has been productive easily sweeping aside the thoughts which are wont to drag him down. In fact he's beaming at the console screen, Baby Tooth hovering by his shoulder and he's reasonably certain that most people have found their way back to being able to see and hear them so he just dives right into the reason for his post. ]

I've got something to share: the welcoming committee that I mentioned last month? Now that people are coming into the city again, I asked the Emperor about it and whether the kedan whose jobs it is to help us that first day could mention it and she said yes. But she also got me a permit for a stall in central Keeliai where it's easy for everyone to find, to set up a place where people can visit if they're confused by everything and need help.

[ He's giving credit where credit is due, because he is appreciative that Eshai helped out. ]

So now it's like a welcome center-- sort of? A really small one. But we can use it to have written maps and guides for learning the city, in different languages if people are willing to translate. Instructions on what the consoles can do beyond the crash course that the kedan give and also about things like how they turn to goop if you try to mess with them. Uhh... what else. Oh, right! Books that are in English or other languages that people might recognize, like a mini library! Also things like what you can't say out loud, because... yeah.

[ Questionable oratory skills aside, it's obvious that Jack is excited for the project. ]

Also if people are willing to show others around when they get here, it'll help them settle in. Sometimes it helps just to get the tour from a person rather than a map, right? Oh and here... I tried to make a schedule for the people who already volunteered to help.

[ Attached is a tentative grid for those who offered in the last post, with blocks of time set up for them to be "on-duty". It'll probably be all shuffled around shortly to accommodate people's schedules, but at least he made the effort. ]

I don't think I forgot anything...

[The console turns on to the sight of Teddy's anxious face and in the background the viewer can just make out the shape of a giant egg laying in a pile of blankets on the floor.]

I'm calling all turtle egg parents here. I'm a new...,uh parent I guess. Man that is really strange to say. This is my first time taking care of the egg by myself. I guess I was just wondering what are some of the ways you other egg parents take care of your egg. Like, do you ever leave your apartment? Because I have to admit the idea of walking around out there with the egg is kind of intimidating.

So...yeah. Help? Please?

[Teddy scoots in closer.]

I have another question for you guys, and this one probably applies to a wider group of people here. I know that a lot of people here have powers or special abilities that are unique to them. That's probably old news to everyone, right? What I'm interested in knowing is what kind of powers or abilities does everyone have? Think of it as a kind of survey. It might become useful in the future to know that we have twelve magic users and only two telepaths or whatever. [If not it will certainly satisfy Teddy's geeky need to categorize as many new heroes and their abilities as possible in his head. He's definitely missing Wikipedia right about now.]

You don't have to give your name if that makes you uncomfortable. Feel free to reply with an anonymous text if you want. To start things off, I'll go first. My main talent is shape-shifting. But I also have some other handy abilities like super-strength and a healing factor. [The anonymous text idea is really for people who want to keep their established secret identity a secret. Teddy feels more comfortable being open about his identity here where he's surrounded by other people with powers, but he knows there are probably others who don't feel the same.]

[Stiles, already a big believer in layers, is wearing two sweaters, a jacket, a scarf, and even though you can't see it, has his blanket draped across his lap. He looks like what a cartoonist believes appropriate cold weather clothes looks like. Or, no, he look like Randie in A Christmas Story! Yes.]

Okay, why is it cold as balls right now? I'm from California. I'm not used to this. This is completely unacceptable. If I wanted to live like this, I'd move to freakin' Alaska and cuddle up with a polar bear. I'm going to get frostbite. Things are going to start falling off my body because of this, I know it.

Bryn, I'm calling out sick for the duration of this because if I go outside I'm going to drop dead. Of ice. I'm going to turn into an abominable snowman after all, and this time it won't be a joke.

Petition to make the turtle swim to Tahiti, sign below, thanks.

[Do not adjust your consoles, turtlefolk, the picture of the slightly scowly person taking up your screen is correct. Thor just happens to have really, really broad shoulders.


He stares silently into the console for a moment longer than might be comfortable for some people.]


To those of you who reside on this turtle whom I have not yet met: greetings. I am Thor, brother of Loki and member of the Avengers.

[Another pause. Why on Earth do people talk to each other on these things? One might as well talk to a brick wall.]

I am responsible for the sudden storm which arrived and so suddenly departed a few nights ago.

If you know of any damage which was caused then, bring it to my attention and I shall put it right. You have my word that any future storms of such magnitude will be kept outside the confines of the city.

[Another pause... and he nods. That's everything he wanted to say.]

[Locked to Tony Stark 616 (20% encryption)]

[Thor is much quieter than when they last spoke.]

We must have words.


[Note: This is following up this happenstance. TL;DR: Thor lost his temper and made it rain and lightning quite badly and there's been slight/mild damage to stuff because YAY FIGHTING?! :'D Feel free to have had something of your character's been damaged by lightning and Thor will come fix it (or just yell at him for being so noisy so late in the evening. Wow such a rude neighbour.)]

[Well, he's had better days. He died, woke up to a very rude looking woman, been nerfed of his powers, dragged out here, and was told that he needed to find a job. These weird turtle people were about to find a shoe up their ass, but he couldn't really complain, could he? He did think he was dead. Then again, perhaps this was a trick from his brother. Maybe Lucifer didn't actually want to kill him and just sent him here... or maybe this was prolonged torture. Both were possible.]

[His grumbling stopped once he saw his new digs. A tree house? He could legally live in a tree house and everyone would think that was just peachy? Oh hell yeah. Maybe he judged too soon about these guys. Course, there was the issue about his senses being cut off and his witness protection scheme. Others could have shown up, too...]

[Gabriel suddenly realized that he didn't give two shits anymore. Screw Lucifer and Michael. Screw all of them. Once he gave it a night (actually slept, whoa) and began to get some old powers back, he turned on the console.]


How's it hanging, turtle-fiends? I see that this place has been up and running for awhile now but never fear. Gabriel has arrived. You can now start the party. [No, he doesn't plan on explaining which Gabriel. It's a common name, right? Thanks to him, but whatever.]

First order of business, though. I need some sweets from a sweetie and possibly some good tunes. The sound of nature's great and all, but I prefer the sound of fury, if you catch my drift. Don't want birds nesting in my tree with me.

It's my tree. [His.]

Second. I was told that I need to get a job. [He shivers in disgust.] Is anyone willing to pay me to eat candy all day? Sex is also an option, but I'm not sure how many of you want to see me in pumps and fishnets.

If you do and you're female, I live in 2D. Bring ice cream.

[Sylar flicks on the video, looking bored.]

I'm no hero, but I can believe in a greater cause. [When it suits.] So tell me, who's in charge, organizing? Someone must be gathering people to fight.

And I wonder.. Is there anyone else here who can't be killed?

[Yes hello turtleland. It's been a while, hasn't it? Rory certainly thinks so. Time just seems to fly somehow when you're trapped on some apparent 'In Between' thing that happens to be on the back of a giant turtle. And then there's also the fact that he has an egg to care for...

...but that's not the point of this post. This post is out because, as one may be able to see from the moment the video starts, is the fact that while the post is most certainly from Rory's console, the person making is video is not Rory at all. In fact, the person who's in your screen now is not even male.

He's somehow turned into a bigger than average red woman.]


Um.

[Trying not to fidget here... yeah, this is kind of awkward. Which is really an understatement in and of itself.]

I really hate to join in the other posts going around now, but-- [Gestures to himself. Or herself. Either way.] --could anybody tell me what to do? Is whatever happened to me reversible, or am I going to be stuck like this for as long as I'm here?

[Pause, as Rory takes a moment to not freak out.]

Really hope I'm not in an alien body-- Just, could somebody help me here? I really don't want to make this any weirder than it already is. [Attempting a smile here. It's not really working.] Thanks.

[ Guess whose internal almanac confirmed that today is officially the first day of Autumn? That's right, this guy! Who's currently bouncing around his treehouse like an over-caffeinated grasshopper while Baby Tooth peeks in the corner of the console screen with an expression like welp that's Jack for you. Whether viewers can perceive them, especially the newer arrivals, will remain to be seen. ]

WHOOOHOOO! Goodbye Summer, goodbye! Have a good vacation! Don't hurry back!

[ And then with a final whoop of joy, the feed turns off! Yeah, that's all he wanted to share. ]
