mopirates_moproblems[From the moment's hesitation between when the mic clicks on and the speech begins, it's obvious that this individual isn't quite comfortable with the interface yet. Possibly because, despite the demonstration he received from the kedan, he's never encountered technology of this level before.]
If I understand correctly, this message will be accessible to all of you in this city. I apologize for the intrusion on your day.
[He sure does sound ridiculously stiff, even to his own ears. But really, how is one supposed to address an entire city population without any sort of proper introduction?]
I arrived quite recently, and I find myself in need of proper clothing before all else. My current garb is not appropriate for public wear. [Because there's a big hole through it. No blood, strangely, and the wound itself seems to be healed, but still. His coat, his waistcoat, and shirt are all torn. His cravat escaped, but he can hardly wear that and nothing else.] If anyone could provide guidance on where I might find appropriate garb, I would be very grateful. I believe I've been housed in the Water Sector, if that is relevant.
[This barely dips past the surface of his many questions, but enough for today.]

flawedgoods[If Favrielle looks distracted and not quite as polished as she usually does, it's because she didn't sleep much last night, and is very clearly worried.]
Has anyone seen or spoken to Nita--that is, Namorita Prentiss, in the last twenty-four hours? I expected her at dinner last night and thought perhaps she had just forgotten, but I'm having difficulty reaching her. She's not responded to my private messages...
[She pauses, a moment, as if expecting an answer, and then continues.]
For those of you not acquainted, she's average height, blonde, and beautiful, really. Her ears taper to a point at the top, and she has wings on her ankles. If anyone has any news of her whereabouts, it would be very much appreciated. Thank you.

virginprice[It's late at night and Alcuin is sitting at his console, wrapped up in a cozy charcoal-coloured dressing gown, a cup of tea resting just in front of him. He looks tired, his hair in a bit of a tangle. He was sleeping, after all.]
Is there anyone else about who keeps such late hours? I find myself in need of a bit of conversation, if there is. Come, tell me something interesting.

trainwrecked[He knows something is afoot, after that message from the Emperor, and - he'll be over here offering a slight diversion. For people either staying safe or - well. Keeping an eye on the foreigners.]
Hi, all. Name's Sergeant Bucky Barnes, and since I figure there's a number of new people here who are still likely to get mixed up with the technology available, I though I'd offer some help.
If you want a bit of teaching about it from somebody who didn't grow up with computers and mobile phones and such, feel free to hit me up, either over these - the consoles - or directly in Wood sector, suite in tree WO-1A.
Bucky out.

February 16th, 2013 22:52monstrous[There are a few seconds of dead air as someone is still tinkering around with the console, but then there is the sound of a man clearing his throat]
Giant turtle, yeah? It looks like Hinduism had it right a least. Well done and cheers on that everyone involved.
Anyway, introductions! I’m Tobias Matthews, Toby to my friends, and I think this would be the bit where I say that anyone willing to help out a newcomer would be welcome. So thanks again, cheers, etc and so on.
[There is some more awkward dead air, and then a long sharp exhale before Toby starts again. The forced smile can be heard in his voice]
Right, so anyone here know about getting games on these things, or at least a bit of television?

inseine[The man on the video screen has done his best to compose himself to mixed effect. His gaze is alert and provokes attention, and his stature is dignified and determined. But from beneath his carefully buttoned coat and tamed hair creeps a glimpse of tremendous blue-yellow bruises. His clothes, thick as they are, do only so much to hide the swelling, and then there was the small matter of his pallid complexion, and his discolored right jaw.
His voice and lungs have both strengthened with rest and food, but not even a good night's sleep or two is enough to fix everything else. Yet he scrutinizes the screen intently and speaks in a clipped, abrupt tone, carefully void of any strong emotion and calm as a lake on a still day.]
Good day. I am the latest model, a fresh one.
[He grimaces, a twitching spasm in his jaw.]
I need more work. The fellows in the welcome caravan were unhelpful. I have no references, so I will start with odd jobs. I can prove myself. I will take long hours. Simple things, whatever there is for me. [His brow lowers almost imperceptibly.] Hard labor is fine. I am fit.
Second, I seek a clothier. Secondhand will do.
Third, a mapmaker.
[An awkward pause, in which he pierces the monitor with a guarded, hawkish stare. His grim smirk is incongruous. Foolish thing, advertising to no one at all! There are no faces for him to study. What else is there to say? He hastily wraps it up,]
I am called Javert. Send me tips, people, places, instructions. I will come to you.
[He bends into the feed, his steady eye filling the screen, when the video cuts out.]

suoxi[ Inara appears on the video screen to those who might happen to be watching at this particular time, poised and smiling and entirely at ease. ]
It appears as if new arrivals are a fairly frequent occurrence. Every weekend, it seems. I know it's a trying time and very frustrating, but if one chooses to think of it as an opportunity as opposed to misfortune, then perhaps it isn't quite so bad. In any case - welcome.
[ pleasantries aside...]
Now, down to business -- literally. [ she smiles and it's a bit more cautious this time, head tilting slightly as she wonders at the wisdom of her query. ]
I have been told by the kedan that there is an area of my sector that caters to specific needs and comforts, and while I am certain their tastes run true, mine, perhaps, might be a bit different.
For those of you that don't know me, my name is Inara Serra, and I am a Companion. [ seeing as no one here seems to be from the 'Verse, she decides to elaborate - delicately. ]
I provide company, conversation and comfort to those who might desire such a thing, and I am paid [ a high sum ] for my time. I entertain, converse with, and bestow companionship to my clients, and ensure that they have only a positive, enlightening and joyful experience when they are with me.
[ another polite smile. ]
If there is, perhaps, someone here who could show me some of the...finer institutions that the city has to offer that might be more suited to my personal tastes, I would be most grateful. Thank you.

epigrammatical[For a man of his era, Lord Henry has picked up the basics of the computer with surprising alacrity and ease. Perhaps he has been motivated by the understanding that it provides him with a platform of unprecedented scale.
So behold: a well-bred Englishman in his mid- to late-forties: if his good looks are a bit worn around the edges, he is still quite handsome in a way that suggests he cut a truly rakish figure when younger. His voice is exceptionally pleasant and musical, and when he speaks, his words are accompanied by graceful—though not excessive—gestures of his slender hands.]
I am given to understand that this device offers a podium to rival the pulpit at Westminster Abbey. Capital—although I assure you that I shall not bore you with a sermon; I can't abide a man who makes of himself an amateur curate.
Allow me to introduce myself—Lord Henry Wotton, late of London, which is not nearly so exciting as the vision of Moreau in which I now find myself. There are many questions with which I'm rather concerned at the moment, but most importantly, where does one find a tailor in this city? And, tiresome though domestic matters are, I suppose I must enquire after a valet. There are many indignities a gentleman may suffer in silence, but not an inadequate selection of poorly-pressed shirts.
virginprice[Alcuin is too curious to stay away from the network- and besides, he's looking for someone. It's important that he begin as quickly as possible, so he makes a video post. He considered typing it, but pressing the keys to make the letters appear was just too strange. He'll save that for later.
He smiles shyly at the 'camera' that the man- or creature?- had pointed out and told him to look at when he wanted to show himself on the network. He's adjusted his shirt so that the bloodstains he arrived with don't show much, but the dark spots do show against the white fabric of his shirt, near the bottom of the screen.]
Hello. My name is Alcuin nó Delaunay and I am told that there are many in this strange city who can hear and see me now. I'm very sorry to trouble any of you, and I hope you are all well.
[He hesitates, unsure of how to phrase the next part, anxiety clear in his dark eyes.]
I have a question and a favour to ask, of anyone who might be willing to help me. My question is- has anyone met a man named Anafiel Delaunay? I hope that he is resident in this city too. If anyone has word of him, please tell me.
[He takes a breath and looks down for a moment, calming his fear that Delaunay is not there, then lifts his head and smiles.]
As for the favour, I am in need of some clothing. I have the coin that these- these, ah, kedan? That the kedan have given me. I do not know how much would be appropriate, but if someone would bring some clean clothes I will pay you. I'm afraid that I am in no state to leave my home and visit a tailor.
[It's the bloodstains. And the fact that there's this big rip that shows his stomach. It's just kind of a mess.]
Thank you very much for listening, if anyone is.

January 13th, 2013 16:35thetyrant[Logan taps his fingers agitatedly as the feed begins, but that's the only part of him that's anything but stoic. Even with his hair lank and greasy from the sea, his clothes stained and damp and that breastplate surely irritating him, he projects as much kingly composure and calm as he can muster.]
I suppose the first order of business would be to introduce myself. [His voice is deep and rich, a bit of a contrast with his thin, angular features.] My name is Logan. I am the king of a place called Albion, but unless any of my citizens have found their way here, I'm aware I have no authority and will not make any attempts to command.
[His left hand clenches into a fist, hard enough for his knuckles to go white, then relaxes. The movement is repeated rhythmically as he finishes.] The person who brought me here from the Shell's Edge seemed to believe he had told me everything of import, but is there any other knowledge I'm likely to be missing? The natives of a place often take for granted something a foreigner would like to know.

cowledWell, this is... embarrassing, if I do say so myself.
[He laughs a little, just to prove how completely embarrassed he is. Look. Do you see his embarrassment? Because it's totally there.]
Here it is, almost literally the eve of this masquerade and I find myself without a date. I hope none of you gentlemen mind me cutting in on you when the time comes.
[His tone is a little at odds with his expression, which is patently apologetic. His voice, however, is steeped in savoir-faire. Because what playboy wouldn't be happy to go stag amidst a party of beautiful women, I mean really.]
And on that note, I would officially like to extend my gratitude to Favrielle nó Eglantine for making this event a possibility in the first place, and for sharing this aspect of her culture with us. She's been a rock of our community for some months now, and she deserves every ounce of recognition her genius affords her.
( not!IC cut, various encryptions to people )

trainwreckedI was going to talk about the masquerade next week, but it seems to be what most of the recent network messages are about, so I'll... think of something else. Still, ladies, if you're looking for a dance partner, I'll try to make sure you get at least one dance. More, for those who like it.
So, for the something else. I know some got hurt from the trips to the mainland, and some got... unpleasant side effects. Everybody recovering all right?

knowsmadness[ kara is, as always, relaxed and reclining - boots up, cigar in hand. it's standard fare with kara thrace, y'know. she does other things, of course - smoking (and drinking, you just can't see that glass full of amber liquid off to the side) just happens to be one of her favorites!
smoke curls from her lips as she grins, and she leans to ash her cigar in the adjacent tray while her free hand holds up a pretty little invitation between middle and pointer finger. ]
A party, huh? Anyone else get one of these?
[ a shout over her shoulder-- ]
Hey York -- wanna go to a party?
[ her attention back on the camera, Kara grins again. ]
This should be fun.

excessivehubris[Charles had actually spent a bit of time investigating this whole ‘personal computer’ situation and while he’d been dubious at first, the more he’d read about the system, what it was capable of, he was delighted! Then he’d been distracted for a day or so in simply learning all he could about the technology.
However, the warning from the kedan who had rescued him still echoed in his head. He needed to find some sort of work, something he’d never actually had to seek out in his life. A small part of him wondered at the laugh Raven would have if she could see his predicament over having to ask about a job, the thought bringing sorrow to his eyes but a small smile to his lips as he reached to turn on the video feed.
The sorrow was quickly wiped away, replaced with his trademark friendly smile and earnest expression as the display snapped to life.]
Ah, excellent just like it said it would work.
Hello! [He offered with a practiced good cheer.] My name is Charles Xavier and I am what I suppose you would call a recent arrival to Tu Vishan and this city, Keeliai; do hope I pronounced those correctly.
Interesting name, Tu Vishan and I would be quite curious to hear what the others who have been brought here make of our situation? [He can’t help asking!]
But of more immediate concern, I’ve been told that I need to search out employment. I fear that for personal reasons anything to do with heavy lifting is out of the question but I was wondering if there were any libraries that might require assistance?
[Seemed a good way to combine the chance to learn more about this place with the necessary employment requirement; at least in the short term.]

As I'm sure many of you are aware, we'll be making landfall soon - and it sounds like we'll need intervening time to prepare. I'm going to take a survey team out, see what we can find, collect some things that the kedan have requested. I'd be willing also to get soil samples and whatever else the scientists here from... off-turtle? Off-world?
[A small smile and he refocuses on the transmission.] In any case. I'll be putting together supplies for a team of no more than six, myself included, for a ten-day span in rough terrain. Five days out, five day return. It will not be pleasant and it will be dangerous.
[He pauses.] A few of you already know you'll be coming with me. [PEGGY, BUCKY, HE'S LOOKING AT YOU.] I'm prepared to take volunteers or recommendations.
Miss Favrielle, I hoped we might talk about protective clothing for the trip. I know it's short-notice, but I'm capable of compensating you.

survival_isnt_living…remarkable, if there were some way to—
[Whatever the thought is, it’s cut off with a pensive hum, and a few moments later the feed clicks from audio to video. A handsome young man peers rather bemusedly at the screen.] I suppose anyone’s wanderlust should be satisfied by a location this… unconventional.
If what they say is true, though—about this place being between states of life and death, or really awake and dreaming—does that mean someone dreamed of all this? [He smiles faintly, his bright green eyes sparkling with mildly sardonic humor.] I think I’d like to speak to whoever did. Find out what else they might dream up.
[Beat.
Very clearly unable to stop himself:]
Are there only the five sectors of the city? I would have expected one for wind.

October 21st, 2012 13:19idkmybffcyclops[The water at Alkali Lake is cold. The water surrounding this damn turtle isn't any better. Logan is freezing his perfectly sculpted buns off when the Kedan haul him out of the water and is thankful when they drop this itchy blanket on him. He doesn't sleep on his way to his suite and about 95% of what the Kedan tell him about his new residence is dismissed as irrelevant. He's not planning to stick around long.
Once he's home, the Kedan give him a fresh set of the local threads and Logan's still thankful. Even more so when they're finally gone. He takes a few moments to take a look around his suite. The console is the last thing he approaches and it takes a few tries but he finally manages to get the thing working.
The camera begins to record and it captures Logan glaring in the lens.]
I don't give a damn who you people think you are. Send me back. Now.
[And this is about the time John would tell Logan to be nice.]

[Say hello to Peggy, sitting at a console with what looks like the designs of a Fire Sector suite in the background. For the tech savvy, the console address is traceable to Steve Rogers.]
I hope those displaced from the Earth Sector fire have found a place to stay until the suites can be rebuilt or new homes. Fortunately, it looks as if the damage was contained before it spread too far. I think this situation is exactly the sort of thing a council for us ‘foreigners’ would be good for, and I mean in the sense of checking the damages, injuries, and helping people find temporary lodgings.
[Not necessarily hunting down perpetrators. And she has her suspicions on what might have started it, but that is not going out publicly. So on a different note!]
Though we can all understand the spoken word and each other here, I’ve found that’s not the case with the written. I’ve started making efforts to crack the kedan language, as it were, but there’s very little to help along these lines. Picking up words on signs is one thing, but a grasp of the grammar and structure is another.
Has anyone else been trying to do the same? I’m not sure much more will be possible unless we find the kedan version of a Rosetta Stone, to be honest.
[video; filtered/locked 30% to Favrielle nó Eglantine]
