Hey, I'm thinking of going to find this stupid turtle's head and trying to talk to it. If the Emperor and the kedan didn't bring us here, it's gotta be the turtle, right? So I'm gonna talk it into sending us all back.

Anyone wanna come with me?

[ Mandorallen has opted for video for his first post, because while he’s figured out how to use the keyboard, the notion of using it still mystifies him somehow. ]

Greetings, fair people. I thought perhaps I could trouble thee with a question of mine own, as it hath scarcely been a full day since I found myself on this strange isle. I was garbed in mail on mine arrival, and, as I had feared, my time in the water hath set it to rusting. Doth any man know of a sturdy armorer or blacksmith who might thusly be capable of mending it? The damage doth run deep, I fear, and I must confess that I feel naked striking out without its cool weight upon my breast.

[ He smiles, a bit vacantly, into the video feed -- its' definitely a foreign concept to be speaking to...well, no one at all, and yet still have an audience -- and after a moment’s hesitation, bows his head. ]

If any soul could offer assistance in this matter, I thank thee kindly.

Okay, so not to be ungrateful--because I really appreciate being fished out of the ocean and given a crash course, really, I do--but the whole time thing? Things are just frozen, back where we came from, is that it?

_{( He pauses for a moment, and huffs. Perceptive listeners will be able to tell that he sounds exhausted, more so when he continues. )}

Yeah, I find that a little hard to swallow. More than this place, even. Has there been any verification, on that? Or am I just supposed to assume the nice people fishing me out of the ocean were telling the truth?

_{( Another pause, some muttering that isn't quite audible, though there may be a curse or two in there. Something about deserving this? Who knows. And then, just as unceremoniously as it began, the feed cuts. )}

[Well, hello there. There’s a friendly face smiling at the network, nervously pushing his glasses up. He doesn’t seem to have any kind of trouble with the computers, but it’s obvious by the way he’s looking speaking to crowds (and he seems to consider whoever might be looking a ‘crowd’) isn’t really his thing.

Or that’s what he wants to make you believe, anyway. Clark Kent had always been the go to personality in case of kidnapping. He isn’t stupid enough to show where is he exactly living, but you get to see enough of his room to guess he’s in the water sector if you care enough to notice that kind of things. Seeing how calm and easy going the guy seems it shouldn’t come as a surprise.]

Um, hello. [A little friendly wave and a tilt of his head.] I’m not really sure if we’re supposed to-ah, introduce ourselves? I was told everything would be alright and everybody I’ve seen has been rather welcoming so far so I though… [He trails off, shrugging.] Call it farm-boy routine I guess.

Anyway, I’m Clark. Clark Kent. It’s a pleasure.

[the video comes on in his own suite, very evidently in the fire sector by the blue glows flickering in through the open windows. dressed in simple and casual - if nice - city clothing, chase is watching the video feed with a bored expression, one gloved hand supporting his chin, the other wrapped idly around a cup of tea on the desk.]

Aren't there just so many ... interesting people here, now. [the significant pause indicating that 'interesting' was a few dictionaries away from the word he probably intended to use.] And so many so young, too.

[there's a flicker of a sneer there.]

I'm sure everyone's had their fair share of time trying to figure out precisely what this place is and how you got here, but undoubtedly we've all heard the suggestion that this is, in one way or another, the afterlife. Not an idea I'm entirely fond of, but without any evidence otherwise, I'm forced to consider it a possibility. [very grudgingly, if his tone is anything to go by.]

So - a question. How many of you actually remember dying before your arrival here? A simple yes or no is enough, unless you had a particularly interesting death, in which case feel free to elaborate.

[ Rikki's in her suite, in her street clothes, toying with the long knife she took off that kedan and frowning to herself, not quite looking at the camera as it comes on. She glances up briefly, but she's too distracted to try and keep up the eye contact. ]

So... I guess a lot of us were at the thing at the festival. Obviously. I hope everyone came out of it okay and all.

But I've been thinking about what that guy said, before he was killed. About us saving them. Have any of you heard the kedan say anything about that before? Did I imagine that? And... maybe it's just me, but I don't see a whole lot to save anyone from, other than... y'know... the kedan.

[Rin is broadcasting from his room, and aside from a few scrapes he seems to be fine. He's absolutely livid, though.]

What the hell was that all about?! What's with this "anti-foreigner" stuff all a sudden? And after everyone went on and on about how great this city is! Yeah, some city where people wanna kill us for shit we can't control! I mean, I'm pretty sure no one chose to just show up in this stupid place, right?

[He grits his teeth, which makes his sharpened canine teeth stand out even more. Rin's taking this all rather personally.]

Is everyone okay at least? Those girls got to safety, right? Oi Nita, that was pretty good getting to the blonde girl so fast. And Merle--are you doing okay?

[He growls a little.]

If one of those anti-foreigner kedan shows up near me, I'm gonna kick their asses!

I know they said that this place is somewhere in-between life and death, and it seems that most people remember being alive before they were brought here.

But I was wondering; is there anyone [anyone else] here that... wasn't?

[True, Yue was going to become the Moon Spirit shortly after, but she was brought here before that could happen. So as far as she knows, she's just... well. Dead. But not dead.

... It's all very confusing, really. But mostly, Yue is wondering if there's anyone else here who was in her predicament.]

[He won't even bother wasting his time showing his face or voice. Text is a lot faster, gets the message through without revealing himself.]

I hope you're all enjoying your stay on Fantasy Island as much as I am. I still haven't gotten my wish for the largest whirlpool bathtub and all the chili dogs I can eat. I'm hanging in there but I'm starting to lose my patience.

Got some questions and having them answered would really boost my mood.
How high does the tech run here?
Who else is kind of freaked out by the locals?
