[ Following the aftermath of this, and after an aggravated tirade at one unconscious form of I told you so the whole way back into the city, a thoroughly harassed-sounding Bakura keys up the radio handsets. ]

Valdis is unavailable for the immediate and foreseeable future. Yes, I know what happened and yes, I warned her of the risks beforehand.

There is a reason the phrase is 'know thyself'.

[ private to Raine and Fletch; ]

Seba-rekhet, senwinaw, I don't know which of your skills will be better suited, but if one or both of you could reassemble her, that would be fine.

This new city we have come to... it is very strange, yes? It is not like an abandoned place - I know such places well and there is not- ... it is not the same. There should be something there, even if only echoes.

Are places often empty like this? Are cities not built for people?

[She grows quiet, eyes averting downwards, before lifting up a Bibiru that is contentedly munching on a root vegetable. It's a particularly pudgy specimen.]

This one needs a name also.

Bakura was not wrong about Tu Vishan slowing down. A number of Kedan have spotted what seems to be land on the horizon.

It is entirely possible Tu Vishan will be making landfall soon, so if there are any necessary preparations to be made, then consider yourself forewarned.

It seems we have also had a small influx of newcomers. I bid you all a very warm welcome to the city. Miss Zatanna runs the Welcome Center and can set you up with anything you might need. The Midnight Hotel is open for business and I am able to make arrangements with any newcomers who are not yet able to pay for lodgings. There are also a number of job positions that need filling if any of you are seeking employment.

The Sky Sector also has numerous homes dedicated to housing Foreigners, should you prefer more spacious quarters.

If there are any questions or concerns, I will gladly offer whatever information I can provide.

Thank you for your time, and good night.

[ Grouchy thief seems extra grouchy today. ]

Does anyone want a short ticket home, because apparently hiring anyone to do the Dojo's paperwork is a guaranteed way to disappear from this place.

[ He managed to lose not one, but both of his bookkeepers inside a week. ]

And why does it feel like the damned turtle has stalled?

[It's been months since Kylo Ren made an announcement on the network, but today he does, and looks oddly pensive, withdrawn.

In the background you can catch a glimpse of a painfully generic living room, there are no personal items other than a glimpse at his infamous table of ashes.]

Lately I've had a lot of time to think, and there is something I have been wondering about. We get to meet people from other worlds, or people who are dead to us, but there is no stability to the bonds built here. Foreigners are randomly brought to this place and taken away.

Yet some of us have been here for years, they watched many come and go. How do you go about this? I dislike the uncertainty. You can't plan for anything.

[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.

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?

aspacepirate

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.)

[Just like every other time Conan used the consoles, the video begins with a blank screen and the sound of a scraping chair, quickly followed by the sight of the boy climbing up on the chair to reach the view of the camera.]

Hello! I've been thinking a lot recently. Lots of people have told me about how magic works around here. But I'm curious. How many people around here have been trying to see why things happen around here with science?

For example, has anyone looked at the dust with chemistry or forensics? Has anyone been tracking which items from home are found and what time they were first spotted?

[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?

sensitively

[ Rey's expression looks worried and confused — there are the beginning of tears welling in her eyes, making them bright over the feed and threatening to spill over at the least provocation, and her lips tremble as she speaks to the residents of Keeliai. ]

I know I don't talk to all of you very often, and for that I'm regretful, but — has anyone in the Sky Sector, or elsewhere, seen Poe Dameron? He's... [ she blinks, attempting to control her emotions, but they're bubbling to the surface despite her best efforts. ] He's tall, dark-haired. Very personable, many of you here have spoken to him, I think.

Has he shown himself anywhere, in the last few days? Has he found a new place to live? [ That thought is dreadfully painful, that he would simply leave and abandon her without even telling her where he was going, but she'd almost rather have him be safe somewhere else on the turtle than have disappeared from it for good. ] If he has, or hasn't, tell me. I just want to know that he's alright.

valyriandragon

I would like to apologize for my first impression. [This is late, she realizes, but she has spent her time well, adjusting to this world and its...peculiarities. For the sharp eyed, one might notice that she is dressed like...medical personnel? A Healer in the making?

The Queen is not above getting her hands dirty and helping others.]

I have not lived an easy life. I bite and I roar when I believe someone is taking advantage of me. Once, I cowered, you understand. I promised myself I would never do so again no matter my fear.

[Some might not understand that. She understands that too.]

In my world, I am one of four dragons; the last of my family line. Even so, I am here to serve my fellow Foreigners. My hands shall not rule in these lands; they will heal instead.

Thank you for your kindness and your patience.

(She stares into the device to make sure it's recording. Her expression turns from something kind of serious and deep in thought to one of relief. "Oh good. Not much different than that other place..." Marie then tries to smile, of course she looks a bit more concerned than anything else.)

Uh, uh...hi. I'm Marie. Um...let's see here... I think I'm good with what's going on. I mean, I get it. At least, I have a map...and I've been without a lot less before... it's a long story...

(Marie finds herself beginning to ramble - to the outsider it sounded like some "adventure" or a not very thought out plan she had when shew was younger, but she quickly stops herself. It's definitely better to not get so personal, not yet anyway. She glances down for a moment.)

Ah, uh..right. I'll just shut up now about that. It's not very interesting.

(Then she pauses.)

Um, by the way...has anyone seen....

(She lets her thought trail off and she debates in the middle of her question about asking if someone else might be wandering around. Only slightly taller than her (and she's a tall girl herself), square headed, overly serious looking... potentially over his head in trouble within moments of setting foot in a place?)

She woke up alone now that she gives everything some more thought and then she glances at the ring on her hand. )

Um, well, uh...it's not that important. So, um, I'll be here for a little while....

[Han just looks angry and he's got his blaster in his hand. There's still some dust on his vest, revealing why he's all in a rage at the moment. There's a lot of chaos in the background because of the riot going on.]

Whatever the kriff that dust was, it got to me. I jus' feel like I want a good brawl. Or maybe just smash somethin' around here.

I think I'm just kriffed off at everything and everyone.

And since I ain't no Jedi, the Dark Side stuff doesn't bother me much. I don't have to control my anger and no one's gonna make me. I'm sick and tired of my life bein' out of my control. The turtle...gettin' kriffin' kidnapped...this guy who won't believe he isn't my son...

[Han takes a shot at a glass window.]

I'm on my own here, I don't want anyone tellin' me what to do. Just like the old days, and I'm lovin' it.

[No matter the world, Daenerys's appearance is likely to cause a stir. From her silver-blonde hair to her purple eyes, she is, to some, strikingly beautiful.

Yet one would be mistaken in thinking her delicate.]

Separate me from my Dragons, my armies, my councilors and you accomplish nothing. I am Daenerys Stormborn nonetheless and I do not fear you.

[Her small stature belies her fire; her passion. Hands clench at her sides and she inhales, muscles tense and eyes bright.]

Reveal your intentions. [It is an order; a command - given by one who is accustomed to being heard and obeyed.] To those not involved, you need not fear me or my Dragons. They will find me. It is only a matter of time.

[She believes in her children. She has faith that they will look until they find her.]

And when they do, they will protect and defend my allies and vanquish my enemies.

iwillnotlookback

Have I been gone so long? It feels as if only moments have passed for me, and yet the mainland lies nowhere in sight. Only water... In the way of the people of my first husband, Drogo who was my sun-and-stars, the sea is called the poison water. They fear that which their horses cannot drink.

[ And Dany? What does she fear? ]

Again, I seek word of Drogon, if he is here. When last I was present he'd only just arrived, and injured several people. Though they weren't residents of Keeliai, I offer my sincere apologies regardless. If he's still here and has hurt anyone since... You may submit yourself to me for recompense, and I will ensure justice is done.

To those who are new since my last term of residence, I give greetings. My name is Daenerys, of House Targaryen.

[ ooc: HER HAIR IS BACK ftr, idk magic or some shit ]

[The acute observer may notice two things different about Alcuin. The first is that there's a faint pattern of lines on his forehead that seem to form some kind of mark. The second is the bruise on his temple- the edges are fading to yellow and green, but it's still dark purple at the heart, though somewhat hidden under his hair.

But he doesn't seem to be minding either of them, instead looking pleased as he holds a small book in his hands.]

Some of the fruits of our docking at that city were sweeter than others.

[That's a joke. Definitely a joke. He hasn't been in evidence much, besides going to work everyday. Landfall was rough.]

A friend of mine was kind enough to gift me one of his discoveries- a book of poems written by my lover, Anafiel Delaunay. I cannot guess how it came to be there, but I am so glad that it was.

[He runs his fingers over the cover fondly.]

You see, back at home these poems were banned. It was unlawful to speak them aloud, or even to own a copy- not through any fault of the poetry, there were politics involved. But I would like to read you one of them, one of my favourites. It will be the first time that it has been spoken in public in many years.

( Cut for length and vague sexual content. )

[He closes the book, smiling softly- caught in a reminiscence of Delaunay. After a moment, he remembers the camera and turns it off.]

everylittlegirl

[A young girl appears on screen, tiny but very noticeable with a bright red jacket hanging from her shoulders and stretching out to her wrists.]

Wow. This is.. I've never really been on my own before. This is all pretty new to me.

[Hayley lifts her thumb to scratch idly along her brow, as if giving a thumbs up to the viewer in an awkward way.]

Does anyone have any information or advice? Maybe why I'm here? I get that I was brought here for a reason, but they won't tell me what it is other than something about some emperor and so that doesn't really answer my question, you know?

Anyway.. Any advice would be mucho appreciated. Especially if someone could, like, teach me how to cook or tell me where to find some other clothes? I mean, I like the ones I'm wearing and I'm a total teenager when it comes to doing laundry, but.. It seems kind of gross to wear the same thing for more than a day or two.

[She drops her head to the side, thinking.]

Uh, I guess that's all. So.. Thanks, if you can help. Or, you know, just for listening.

[She gives a half-smile, and then reaches forward to end the post.]

[ clink-- POP ]

... there we are.

[ /ahem. ]

While I understand completely the feeling of inherent laziness that no doubt consumes those of shofter life spans, ironically enough, it simply boggles the mind that so much time and effort goes into the process of skinning, slicing, and preserving simple fruits far more easily obtained from a tree.

I doubt this is even a real peach.

[ there's something to be said about all the added sugar, though. It's like peach soup. ]

Of course, the obvious lack of bountiful orchards in the immediate vicinity is to be blamed currently, but one wonders where the fruits come from if not a garden or orchard nearby.

[ clink-- POP. Sigh. ]

Hm. Money that would've been far better spent on a book.

-- should anyone suffer from a sudden brain injury as a result of an errant can of carrots, you've my most sincere apologies.

[ Inara comes into view with a smile, as always. She’s very confident sitting there in her suite, hands in her lap and a few candles burning behind her for ambience. She is the picture of calm and poise and looks entirely at ease.

Inside, though – Inara is boiling. Inara is Not Happy about several things, but there are…certain experiences best not ‘advertised’ on a public network.

But boy is she pissed about being fired, then threatened on the way home.

ANYWAY. ]

I have decided to open the Companion House that is located in the Fire Sector earlier than I originally planned. [ read: Inara got fired, and needs another source of income. ]

If you are interested or require more information as to what a Companion is and does, please let me know and I will forward you directions and information. [ Inara learned a valuable lesson: make a pamphlet. Repeating herself explaining the intricacies of Companionship was quite taxing. ]

I am also taking applications for those that would like to enroll in Companion training as well. [ Inara smiles, but her eyes are decidedly sharper here. ] This is not an endeavor lightly chosen. It is a life choice – a career, and the training is intense and not limited to intimacy. I will personally speak [ interrogate ] to any interested party.
