[when the video feed blinks on, Tommy is panting. It's quite obvious he's been on a run, the imprinted rings from his goggles still framing his eyes. His hair looks windswept, and he certainly doesn't look happy. As if his life could really get worse right now. There's a light hum in the background, which a keen observer would note was his fingers drumming at high speed on the table. The moment his breathing steadies, he speaks.]

--Anybody seen my brother? Looks pretty much identical to me except he wears dorky clothes, has brown hair and is a idiot.

[he pauses, a brief look of anxiety crossing over his features before he catches himself, clearing his throat.] I just wanna know if I have to save his sorry ass from some kedan gang or the llothi or whatever, because it's his turn to do dishes tonight and I'm not letting him get out of it because he totally missed last night too.

[his finger stop humming as he pauses to drag a hand through his hair, a frown creasing over his features some more.]

Lemme know if you know where he is.

[And the feed cuts out.]

[Tony appears in a pair of dress light slacks and a dark button down shirt with the top two buttons undone. He's in his suite and the area around the console is one-third office space and two-thirds workshop. A partial profile of the Mark VI can be seen in the far back.

He looks at the camera, his business face on.]

CEO of multinational corporation seeking employees for long walks on the beach and late, candlelit shifts. [He pauses, tut-tuting thoughtfully.] Must be willing to be to accept a benefits package that is, let's face it, far and above what that dime store imitation Wayne Enterprises offers.

[Tony drops the token formality, taking on a charming grin.]

Stark Industries is back in business, folks. I'm launching a Keeliai subsidiary with what is, by the by, a very generous initial contract. [Guess who's pleased to be offering mobile telecommunications to the enforcement of Keeliai?]

And here's where all of you -- [Said with a gesture to the camera.] -- come in. I'm hiring and entry-level pay is twice what the going rate offered by the kedan. Plus, you get the satisfaction of supporting your fellow Foreigners on this turtle acid trip.

Telecommunications experience is a bonus, but in a city that thinks the smoke signal is better than texting? I'll be flexible.

[His grin widens.]

And, ladies? The position of my personal assistant is open and pays three times the kedan rate, to start. Try not to trip over each other in your rush to apply, because I promise each and every one of you will get a personal interview with Tony Stark himself.

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.]

[The message: filtered to any of Steph's friends/acquaintances who are, or appear to be, in their late teens.

On screen: one Stephanie Brown curled up in a chair in front of her console, her hair slightly shorter than it was last time she posted to the network, but she's fine aside from that minor change. And, well, that the room behind her isn't the same as it used to be; it's still an Earth Sector suite, just a different building than her previous residence.]

I hope everyone and their possessions escaped the fire unscathed. And if anyone needs help for any reason, please don't hesitate to ask.

[a beat, and then she gestures to the room behind her] Aside from that, I just wanted to let you all know I've got a new address, since my suite is - pretty much gone, and in order to, well, not dwell on the fact a whole bunch of my stuff is now ash, I'm throwing a bit of a housewarming party.

You might've noticed this is video is filtered and encrypted, and that's 'cause I don't really want just anyone showing up at my new suite, so I'm keeping things to people I know and who're around my age. Which is, all of you. [a smile! Doesn't everyone feel lucky to be included] That said, if you have a friend you'd like to bring along, just run their name by me and I'm sure it'll be fine.

Otherwise, party, booze, food, dancing. Two nights from now, starting at sunset and ending whenever you all go home, there's no dress code aside from, you know, actually having clothes on, and while I'll have enough food and drinks for everyone, you're welcome to bring your to share if you're that sort of person. [She pauses to think over whether there's anything she needs to say, but, no, she's sure that's covered everything]

Let me know if you have any questions, and I hope to see you there.

[[OOC: If you're not sure whether your character would be on the filter, send me a PM and we can sort it out!]]

[ This sure is Kara Thrace, chilling out at one of those cafes and those free comm things. She's just hanging out, right there in the middle of it with her boots up and not giving a frak about the dirty looks she's getting. ]

So for those of you that haven't heard or haven't smelled it yet, there was a fire in one of the earth buildings last night.

[ There is a distinct pause here before she continues, eyes slightly narrowed as she looks at the screen. ]

And it spread to mine, specifically.

Cause unknown, or at least - it still is to me it is. Anyone know what the frak happened? [ Brows UP. ANYONE? ]

Anyway, that means I'm homeless right now. [ ashing her cigar. ]

York, looking at you.

traumatizing

[fun fact: Terrance Ward is massively uncomfortable with any kind of video chat type thing]

[another fun fact: he's having real issues trying to determine what exactly he believes about where he is and why. so for now he's going with 'this is probably Norman Osborn's fault somehow']

[SIGH] So if this was some kind of elaborate ruse to make me learn my place, I'd probably know it was happening right? It's not like Osborn's exactly great at subtlety.

[he pulls a face at the camera and leans back in his seat] I don't even know who I'm talking to here. It's kind of hard to gauge what to say when I don't know who's listening. Do I introduce myself?

[ :\ ]

I'm Trauma. It's- [...] There's a good chance it won't be terrible to meet you.

Probably.

So, um... I was just wondering, did anyone ever find Teddy Altman? He went missing after the storm, and I'm... Well, I'm a worrier. Can't help it. [ Shrug. ] Mostly looking for an update from his friends, but just in case anyone out there knows anything - I hope no one else's missing people who should be here too - ...or if Teddy's around and just hasn't posted on the consoles again yet...

Teddy, you out there? Hello, hello, come in, Hulkling... [ She smiles a little awkwardly and clears her throat. SO SHE GETS RIDICULOUS WHEN SHE'S WORRIED. Shut up. ]

Also, Tommy, I still owe you dinner. [ NOPE, NOT GETTING MORE AWKWARD. DEFINITELY NOT. ] Some time this week, maybe?

And while I'm here, um... Agent... Peg- Agent Carter. Can we talk? In person maybe? There's something you should probably... yeah. It's not an emergency or anything, and it's not about Steve - well, mostly - it's just... a thing. [ Oh geez the awkwardness is reaching peak levels ABORT POST ABORT. ]

disfavored

Greetings, once again. I've only been here for a short while - and apparently most of us have not been here long - but it has come to my attention that we're rather unorganized and lack the political representation that the native residents have.

I've brought this issue forward and have been granted permission by the Emperor to form a government of our own to deal with certain issues pertaining to us, rather than going to her for help. She'll still be open to visitation, I'm sure, but you'll have an alternative.

We are a very diverse group, so I would propose a sort of coalition - or council, if you will - to be elected by democratic vote.

You may nominate someone, if you wish, although they'll have to agree to put their name in the running. Or, you can nominate yourself.

I'd like to start by volunteering myself - I am Tarrlok, for those of you I haven't met yet - and I'll open myself up to any questions any of you might have. I encourage any other interested parties to do the same.

[Billy looks a mess, his hair is dry, but sticking up everywhere from the wind and rain. The right side a little more than the rest from running his hand through it so often. He might be coming across as worried and he is.]

Has anyone seen Teddy? He went out into the storm to help out but he...he hasn't checked in. He's not back yet and he hasn't...that isn't like him.

[He sighs and runs a hand through his hair, making it stick up even more.]

He's tall, kind of broad shouldered and built, but not too built! He has blond hair and blue eyes and piercings.

[He stops because he's starting to sound really worked up, he takes a deep breath a holds it, rubbing his eyes. He lets out a shaky breath and sniffs trying to rein everything in.]

Sorry. I uh...I hope no one got hurt in the storm.
