[Audio - Public]

[Clark (and not Superman this time, so no anonymous location) has had a busy time ever since they became able to reach Mainland so it's been a while since he's made a post. No video this time, he's still trying to avoid showing his face in a public post unless really needed.]

Uh, hi. Clark Kent here- I hope those of you who went to visit the mainland are alright? I've heard of how dangerous it could be over there.

[And felt it, but that's neither here not there.]

I actually want to ask about that. Haven't you wondered why are we able to visit the mainland without any kind of trouble? All the foreigners who're able to fly or swim have tried to leave, and they have always found some kind of invisible barrier that prevents them from going any further.

Somehow that barrier has now included this land... maybe we should try to figure out how it works? I'm not an expert by any means but I know there's talented magic users in this place.

The second question I have is way less important but I'd still like to know. The newspaper... well, it can't be written out because it'd present the obvious translation problems we've already discussed over the network. We have to read it out loud.

So I ask for volunteers to do that task. Would anyone be up for it?

[Audio - Private to Batfamily and associates]

I don't really like to state the obvious to you guys, but... a certain friend of mine has decided to pay us a visit.

He doesn't seem to be from my world but I still don't trust him. I'll be keeping an eye on him but be careful. For all we know this could even be his doing.

[No it couldn't but Lex and Kal are famous for blaming everything on each other, let's not break that beautiful tradition.]

[When the video comes on, Yue is looking quite baffled, and with good reason. Her hair is being combed, though she's not the one doing it. It seems like the haunting of Keeliai has found its way over to her suite, too.]

I'm just going to go ahead and assume that I'm not the only person this is happening to. [She glances behind her as a broom comes sweeping into the background of the video.] This has been happening since I woke up today. The, um. The hair-brushing was actually what woke me up at first.

One of them won't stop making tea, too. I've... lost track of how many cups they've made so far. [Seriously.] They're very helpful, though I'm wondering how long this is going to last. It's a bit odd knowing I can't go anywhere or do anything without something I can't see watching me or combing my hair. Or anything else. [The thought of using the bathroom is a very, very strange one right now. Do not want spirits watching that, thank you.]

But they've been very nice, and I don't want to be rude by telling them to go awa-- [She pauses and looks at something off-screen.]

What? No! Don't throw that out, it's still good! [And she's just going to get out of her seat to stop whatever it is. The comb stays behind, floating awkwardly for a moment before whatever is holding it decides to follow after Yue.

... The broom just keeps on sweeping.

[It's Yelena, here with a quick question. She has a somewhat harried look about her, and she doesn't look like she's slept well with the bags under her eyes, but it doesn't make her any less alert.

That might be because of the coffee-like drink she's enjoying at one of the cafes in the Wood sector, but it's not what she's here to talk about.]


Just to be sure, no one has noticed any ghosts of people who aren't from Keeliai, right? That is, spirits of people who are definitely from their worlds instead of here, for instance?
imlikeabird: ([ ✘ ] Damnit quit breaking Hawke)
[personal profile] imlikeabird
[As a mage, Hawke has and always will be a target. When he sleeps, he goes to this place called the Fade and while he's there, it's like he's wearing a neon flashing sign that says 'come get me!' Spirits of all shapes and sizes and affinities are looking to invade his brain and use him as their vessel into the mortal world. It's one of the reasons mages are put up in the Circle in Thedas.

The point is that Hawke is sort of sensitive to these kinds of things.

He didn't sleep well last night. Something kept banging on the walls. And when he finally gets up, he finds some of his possession smashed or moved from their various places around his suite, he's more than a little wary. Spirits slipping through the Veil weren't the friendliest bunch. At least he hasn't encountered any.]


All right, which one of you tore open the Veil?

[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.

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.

[Ororo comes online with damp hair and a faintly irritated expression. A long jacket's hung up on the door behind her and dripping water steadily on the floor as the low lighting of the café is flickers.]

Whatever anyone's thinking, this isn't me.

[She gestures vaguely upwards, indicating the storm raging outside. She grabs up a towel borrowed from the café owners and starts rubbing the worst of the water out of her hair as she adds a final thought:]

This thing's way out of my league.

[Sure, she's been lying low on the whole X-Men thing, but way too many people have recognised her and she's given up on the whole closet-mutant deal after the gang wars mess outing her powers a half dozen times.]

 [Hey, look, a perky blonde! With a charming, cheerful smile. Completely harmless looking. Right? Going from what's visible behind her, it's apparent that she's in a suite somewhere in Wood.

Her voice should be easily recognizable from her previous, audio only post.]


Does anyone know if there’s anywhere on the shell that’s out of the way and secluded, with no people around?  I haven’t been able to check everything out yet.

After all, there has to be somewhere, right?

[May be a bit of a weird thing to ask, but look at that face! Totally harmless!]

 [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.
