Is the picture finally off? Good...

My name is Zelgadis, and I'm a new arrival.

I'm interested in information, especially from other sorcerers. Not about the world: I got the whole spiel from the locals. About magic where you're from. What you can do with it. I'll trade in kind, if you're interested. I am a sorcerer, and I've travelled a lot of my own world.

You can contact me over the console, or in this message.

[ She probably should've stuck to a text post, or even voice, but sometimes even Lina Inverse's vanity overwhelms her common sense. She's sitting in front of the console wearing a broad grin, a little pile of gold and gems and such nearby. It looks valuable, but more or less innocuous. Less innocuous, however, is the golden helmet sitting further behind it -- it's in frame, off to the side, but it's not immediately noticeable. ]

If we haven't met already, then let me introduce myself. I am Lina Inverse, sorcery genius extraordinaire! None of you are from my world, so you probably haven't heard of me, but back home, I'm practically a household name! And I've got something you might be interested in, Keeliai.

[ She picks up a small gold coin, turning it over between her fingers. ]

You see, a few neat trinkets have come into my possession recently! Some of them even have magical properties. And as much as I love magical artifacts, I just don't need all this stuff! Besides, a girl's gotta eat, right? My prices are very competitive, so if you're curious, I'd be happy to show you the goods!

[The video opens on the Emperor, who is writing at a desk. She looks... composed, but with that hard-edged irritation in her that so many foreigners have come to know and either hate or be frustrated by. She sets her pen down and looks up. She is Not Here For This Bullshit, but children must be minded and the foreigners are little else, as far as she's concerned.]

As some of you may know, we were recently attacked by the undead. Despite your admirable efforts in turning away the enemy, some individuals who cannot seem to think beyond the end of their fists and considerable over-compensatory strength caused structural damage across the turtle shell. This damage caused significant collapse in ancient sewer systems.

My architects are working to repair the areas. Stay away from them. And no you may not help. Anyone caught in the area will be arrested and incarcerated for an indefinite amount of time.

If you've nothing useful to say, remain silent. My time is precious.

[As always, Superman's post comes from an anonymous location, somewhere in the Fire sector. He's been changing the place he broadcasts from in every post, in case someone tried to track it.]

Well, it's become obvious the turtle has decided to take a bath. It seems to be safe for now but we don't know when it will stop. The way things look it isn't going to be anytime soon. The Kedan seem to be pretty sure it will be alright so it's probably not the first time this has happened.

Those of us who can breathe underwater or spend a long time under it should share experiences to see how far we can get, but I wouldn't suggest trying to break this barrier.

Another thing to keep in mind is the lack of sunlight. [AND NOT AT ALL BECAUSE HE'S GOING TO SLOWLY LOSE HIS POWERS WITHOUT IT why would you think that geez.] Is there anyone with the kind of power that would allow them to duplicate it? Or to create a substitute? I can offer my heat vision to make fires anywhere it's needed, but it's a poor substitute.

Anyway, just... be careful, everyone.

[On comes the video. A handsome man in his early forties, wearing a Stetson, staring the screen down with the kind of suspicion typically reserved for interrogations.

And for about ten seconds that is all he does. When he speaks, it's with a thick Kentucky accent.]

I suppose, now I'm thinking about it, using this means of communication is an acknowledgement that this is in fact happening and I am not higher than a summer kite or having a trauma-induced hallucination of some kind. S'funny, I didn't figure myself as the type, but I suppose one never does.

I'm going to find a drink. Somewhere in this… [A pause that stretches long enough to indicate he's at a loss for words.] Extremely creative venture into the deep recesses of my apparently disturbed psyche. Because god knows if I'm in my head, there's got to be a puddle around here somewheres.

[ For once, Lina looks relatively calm and collected, more concerned about getting down to business than unleashing some explosive rage on some poor schmuck. This is Lina in business mode. ]

So there's a bunch of bandit gangs around here, right? Does anyone have any information on them? I'm willing to trade if it's good enough.

[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.

[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.]

unchimerical

[ Zelgadis has already been flipping through the network a little bit to get accustomed to what it was and how people used it, but there was such a flood of information there that he lost patience reading through other people’s drivel. It was time to send out feelers on his own.

The feed shows a stony blue face carefully watching the screen with a slight frown as he makes sure it’s actually doing what he expected it to. ]

I’m under the impression that there are many of you out there who arrived in a fashion similar to mine. Meaning, not natives to this city. Who are all you people?

[ the video feed shows Lina looking right back at the screen with a dubious expression on her face, as though she’s unconvinced that this terminal thing actually works. ]

Well, this thing doesn’t look like it’s powered by magic, but it’s definitely not like any machine I’ve ever seen. Where’s Zel when you need him? I guess I’ll just have to trust that it works.

[ And then her disposition shifts a little. Lina draws herself up, smiling winsomely at the screen, hands clasped in front of her. ]

Well! Who cares about that anyway, right? Since I’m in a totally new world and none of you have probably heard of me, I guess it’s up to me to enlighten you all! Standing here before you is none other than the world’s most beautiful, intelligent, magnificent sorcery genius extraordinaire, Lina Inverse, at your service!
