So is that it?

We're all just going to buckle down, paint our bio-luminescent picket fence and start over?

In case the novelty of being on a giant turtle is waning, let me remind you: this is not how your life is suppose to be. They took us away from it - our lives. And they did so without giving us all the details.

Whatever we had in our time, that is what's real. Not this bullshit.

andaway

[Kal's audio post is short, and to the point. In his world the chance that someone would gt to know Superman and Clark Kent at the same time and they didn't already know about his secret was minimal, and even then he'd worked so hard to keep those aspects of his life apart it wasn't a conscious act anymore. He could play little tricks to make sure no one could get a decent image of him, even.

But that's harder to do in here where everybody got to meet Kal-El and Clark Kent at the same time, and the number of people who could actually be Superman was limited. Thus, he has to be more careful.]

I'm making this post to offer my help rebuilding those houses that were burned to the ground or somehow affected by what happened on that night. My name is Superman, and I'd of course not require any payment, at all. I'm afraid the materials aren't a thing I can produce- but this is not a momentary offer, any time anyone needs some help rebuilding their houses I'll be happy to lend a hand and use my powers to help.

[Well, that's said and done. He then pauses... and sighs.]

And second, a question that's less urgent. I'd like to know if anybody knows for sure what happens to those of us who... disappear and are nowhere to be found on the turtle. And if you have theories about it I'd like to know about them, too.

[That's... clearly the voice of a man who's lost someone recently. Losing what was for a while the only remains of your family, again? Never gets easy.]

histruename

[Hellboy's been on the edge of making this announcement for the last few days. What happened during that fire was pretty terrible, but he's not so sure he wants to open that door. Still, people have a right to know at least a little about why the Sector burned before they start jumping to conclusions. He may not be the best public speaker for the job, but he'll try his best.]

I know people have been wondering about the cause of the fire in the Earth Sector last week. I was there, and I can tell you it was just an accident, not any kind of anti-foriegner terrorist attack. I'm sorry that people got hurt, but most of us made it out alive. That's the important thing.

[There. He'll leave it just like that. Some people might not buy it, taking into account that the first explosion of fire was more like a bomb and less like someone leaving the oven on, but he's using the term "accident" loosely. If they don't like it? Well... That's just too bad. The rest is Liz's personal stuff. If she wants to tell people that's up to her. But for now, this'll have to do.]

disfavored

[He's still acting like his usual self, for now - very confident, turning up the charm.]

I'm still accepting more nominations for council, and as far as a public forum goes I think we should have one sometime within the week.

[He pauses, and his expression becomes more serious.]

But, I'm afraid I have some more dire news to break right now.

There is a man here who calls himself Nanuq, and he says he's a healer from Republic City. This is a lie. He is from my home world, and went under the name Amon there. He was a wanted criminal, leader of a terrorist organization, and he is very dangerous.

If you don't want to trust me on this matter, there are others from my world who will probably testify to what a threat he is. I'm not suggesting that anyone attack him, but use caution when dealing with him and know that he's been presenting a false identity, and this is not the first time he's done so.

[Tarrlok looks downward for a few seconds, hesitant about what he's going to say next.]

His real name is Noatak. He is my brother. I wasn't aware of this until very recently. For that reason, I ask that you please bring issues concerning him to my attention, if at all possible, and I will deal with it.

I'm not saying you can't use self-defense, but...if it is something that doesn't require immediate attention, please let me know.

Thank you.

[Rin is in his suite, nursing a cup of tea and frowning at the console as if it personally insulted him. Underneath that he looks vaguely worried, though.]

Oi, has anyone seen Merle lately? She's basically like a catgirl--you know, tail and cat ears and everything? She lives in the Earth Sector, I think...

[He trails off, staring at his tea for awhile before he blinks, seeming to remember something.]

Oh, there was something I wanted to tell you guys. I was gonna say something sooner, but then all this crap happened and the storm, so...anyway, in case you don't know or were wondering? The Emperor is the one who brought us here. Yeah! It's all her fault that we're stuck here. It wasn't the turtle or anything we did, it was all her. She says we're here for some kind of purpose, but she didn't even tell me what that was! Not even a hint!

...So yeah. That's all I wanted to say.

mistyoldworld

[Aisling seems to finally understand how to work the console. Sort of. She's actually sitting on the console table with her knees up to her chest and her hair wrapped around herself like a blanket. But at least she knows where the camera is and where to look.]

It smells like a storm, doesn't it? I wonder how well a turtle will do in a great storm? I've seen the kedan outside, all rushing about. Well...the trees tell me that storms come and go here, as storms do. I am not very concerned.

[She heaves an impressive sigh and props her chin on her hands.] Still, I am more than ready to return to my own forest. The trees here are so difficult to talk to. As closed-off as the kedan are.

[She's silent for long enough that it almost seems she's forgotten the camera is on. Then she looks up again.]

What do all of you miss the most from your homes?

tasteforpoison

[Time for a video post from yours truly.]

This may have been asked before but, what level of technology does everyone have where they're from? The more I've talked to people the more I've realized that where I'm from is...well, it's really far behind everyone else. Or at least it seems like it.

What sort of technology is normal in your world? Things that aren't powered by magic, that is.

[She is kinda sorta really curious, but anyone who answers had better be prepared to explain it in simple terms because no one has even discovered electricity yet in Ixia or Sitia. Heated baths? A luxury found only in the Commander's castle.

Y E P.]

[ the video feed shows Lina looking right back at the screen with a dubious expression on her face, as though she’s unconvinced that this terminal thing actually works. ]

Well, this thing doesn’t look like it’s powered by magic, but it’s definitely not like any machine I’ve ever seen. Where’s Zel when you need him? I guess I’ll just have to trust that it works.

[ And then her disposition shifts a little. Lina draws herself up, smiling winsomely at the screen, hands clasped in front of her. ]

Well! Who cares about that anyway, right? Since I’m in a totally new world and none of you have probably heard of me, I guess it’s up to me to enlighten you all! Standing here before you is none other than the world’s most beautiful, intelligent, magnificent sorcery genius extraordinaire, Lina Inverse, at your service!

sharpes

[Brandon looks, for all intents and purposes, bored as hell.]

You know what this place really needs?

[Bit of a pause. Purely for dramatic effect, you understand. He is an actor.]

Twitter.

And if you have to ask me what that is, you're seriously dead to me. Like. Don't even try.

stickshift

So, who all here is into racing?

[simple, direct, to the point. she's smiling as she says it, though. It's about equal parts mischievous and competitive.]

Oh! And for anyone working on or interested in Mr. Kent's newspaper, I'm going to be writing a section on automotives. If anyone has any information on any of the vehicles or mechanics here, I'd love to talk shop. Thanks.

[She gives the camera a little wave, and disconnects.]

wolfnamedkitty

[Kitty has spent most of her day trying to find out as much as possible since getting fished out of the ocean- but at the end of it, the kedan were amazingly unhelpful, there, before depositing her in her 'suite'. It's in a tree! She spent a bit of time exploring it thoroughly, since a part of her, Wolf, was comforted to an extent by this, somewhat more than she would expect, but now that that's over, it's time to get to finding out what exactly is going on. So, to the console! Research is always helpful, as is poking out on your own...

She hesitates at first, but given the option, she'll always go with audio- she doesn't really feel up to video right now- even though it's been years since she's resolutely avoided the idea of being on camera, and going with something similarly familiar will definitely help.

Her voice sounds nice, relatively calm, and very present- definitely belongs to someone used to working on the audio side of things.]

Are we really on some kind of mystical between-states island sized turtle with a city on its back? [A very short pause of consideration.] I guess that question marks me as new, doesn't it? Does anyone have any more information than what the kedan say? They weren't really helpful on that topic.

ohmygiita

( an airy voice comes on, sounding as if still in the middle of a daydream )

So we're on a giant turtle then? The shopkeeper who gave me directions explained it to me...maybe he's Ton-chan's great, great, great, great, grandpa or something! Oh yeah, Ton-chan is a pseudo soft-shelled turtle! His nose looks like a little pig snout.

I wish I could have bought him with me - he would have probably liked to meet umm...what did they call him again...hmmmm.....well, I'll call him Mister Ton-chan for now I guess.

( it cuts off for a few minutes. when it turns back on, it's video now and a very fearful and serious yui can be seen )

Has anyone heard from my friends? Mio, Mugi, Ritsu, and Azu-nyan? Mister Ton-chan is so big and I don't know how I'll find them...( she begins to cry ) I just hope they're okay.

hackingyoursensors

[Suddenly, there's an unfamiliar voice on the network. Young, male, probably prepubescent and very, very familiar to some residents of Keeliai.]

These are some seriously nice digs. It's hard to believe that they have so many rooms "just in case," so I'm guessing this might be little more common than I was lead to believe. Do they employ kedan to wander around the Shell's Edge, plucking people out of the ocean? I wonder what you'd put on your resume: Plucker of Maybe Dead People Out of a Magical Ocean?

[The joke sounds slightly strained, but joking tends to make him feel a little more at ease.]

Anyway, I got the basic rundown from those kedan. Very friendly guys-- at least I think they were guys. But it'd be nice to have confirmation from more than one person. No offense to them, but I like cross-checking my sources.

And while we're on the subject: does anyone know anything about the Emperor? The kedan didn't speak about him too much.
