[The video clicks on to reveal a very tired looking Rapunzel. Her eyes are red-rimmed and her cheeks somewhat blotchy with color. It's very apparent that she has been crying. Pascal is perched on her shoulder. There's a sympathetic look in his eyes and he rests his head against her in a pseudo-hug. Rapunzel manages a weak little smile and waves at the camera.]

Hello everyone. I just wanted to let people know that Pascal and I will be staying with Stiles and Derek for a while. My suite was feeling a little...empty all of a sudden.

[For a moment she looks like she might break down and cry right there on camera but she takes a deep breath and holds it in.]

I'll still be working at the clothing shop, welcome center, and hospital as usual so there's no need to worry about that. I just didn't want people to be concerned when they saw I wasn't in my suite.

Well, that's all. Thank you. [She waves again and turns off the feed.]

 [Anna looks nervous as she switches the feed on, chewing on the corner of her lip and twiddling her fingers. She's been feeling pretty useless lately, especially in light of this miasma-bottle thing. But she's still trying to put her best self forward. She needs to check on her friends and family.]

Um- Hi, everyone! Again. I just thought I should check in, and- I'm okay. Just a little- shocked at everything that's happened lately. [She lets out a nervous little laugh, managing a smile as she brushes back some hair.] I mean, things have been pretty crazy! Everyone said that they would be, but I didn't know it'd be all-- yeesh! You know?

A-Anyway. How's everyone doing? Safe, and not in a bottle, and miasma-less, I hope?

[ Jack's been largely off network for about a month, other than replying to those whom he's closest with. But there's too much to do and too many people who needed him to not be uselessly hung up on his own issues. So he faces the console screen with something much closer to his usual good cheer and Baby Tooth is perched in her usual spot on his shoulder. ]

There's been a lot of new people lately so I thought I'd bring this up again. My name's Jack Frost, this is Baby Tooth and I'm... kind of in charge of the Welcome Center here in the city. For anyone who's arrived lately, the kedan who showed you where your suite was should have mentioned it to you.

[ There will be a location ping that shows a very centrally located address, one that if anyone else in the city has tried to procure a business of their own will know is normally unavailable. ]

If you need anything that the kedan weren't able to provide at your suite, let me know and I'll see if I can track it down. Don't worry about if it costs money you haven't got yet. I've collected information about the city that'll help you get settled in and they're in brochures, there's books you can borrow that aren't in kedanese if you want to borrow them, like a library. Just bring them back in one piece, 'cause there aren't that many and we only seem to get more when we visit a mainland. Oh, and I have a list of some kedan shopkeepers who are willing to take on Foreigner employees so they can start working.

If you want to volunteer some time, just let me know. You don't need any kind of experience, just be willing to answer questions and help people learn about the city.

[ He thinks for a moment but can't come up with anything he's forgotten. ]

Yup. I think that's everything.

[Don't panic. Don't panic.

Eugene paced back and forth endlessly, staring at the console in his suite, and repeating the instructions he was given over and over again in his head. Even after everything he had seen while arriving in this world, including suddenly appearing there and feeling like a drowned rat, he had a hard time believing this kind of technology existed. Yet, there is the console in front of him, primed and ready to go.

Eugene takes a deep breath, patting both of his cheeks simultaneously, and getting his “game face on”.]


You've got this, Flynn. You can do this. I mean, what's the worst that could happen? These guys could be lying, and you get sucked into some other strange world where they turn you into a fish—and okaay, not going there. Nope. That train of thought ends right there.

[There's nothing to it but to do it. Delaying the inevitable is only making things worse. Logs into the console and gets things going.]

So, I've heard there's a bunch of people on the other end of this thing. Possibly alive. Possibly dead. Like me.

[Eugene is really, really hoping the former is the truth and not the latter.]

And to you I say, hey. How's it going? The name's Flynn; Flynn Rider. Like the rest of you, I come from a place far, far away, where things happen and all that. Blah. Blah. Blah.

[Flashes the console one of his infamous grins.]

The whole thing sounds a bit suspect if you ask me, but here I am. Denying everything and all that isn't going to do me much good. What is far more useful is finding out more about this place. I'm open to hearing everything and anything about this place.

[Stares at the console for a moment, trying to play it cool while secretly hoping and wondering if he used this thing properly.]

[The video feed has started to flicker, on and off, on and off, catching bits and pieces of Anna struggling to remember what the Kedan taught her about using these things. When the feed finally steadies, there's a triumphant "AHA!" that goes along with it. She looks plenty smug about her little victory, flicking a single pigtail back over her shoulder.]

Got it! Hah! That was nice and easy, just like they said.

[And then she abruptly remembers that she'd turned the thing on so she could talk to people. For half a second her eyes widen, then she recomposes herself, clearing her throat and dropping the self-satisfied smile so that she can look official. Or at least poised. ...Which doesn't last long, because she can't really help smiling or waving cheerfully (if a little awkwardly) at the camera.]

Sorry about that, I didn't mean to, um- Anyway. Hello! To... everyone that can see me! The Kedan said that I could use this- [She gestures at the console with one hand.] -this thing to contact people if I had any questions, and I, well, I've got a question! Just a quick one, really.

I know they said that we probably can't leave here, ever, but it's kind of important that I do. I mean, first of all I have to find my sister Elsa and bring her home to Arendelle because- Well, it's just really important that I do all that, so I wanted to see if anybody had any ideas?

Anyway, it's very nice to meet you all! I mean- Well, I guess I'm not really meeting you just yet, since we're not seeing each other right now, which is still really weird, but- you know what I mean.

[She pauses for a second, chewing on the corner of her lip, trying to figure out what else she should say. How do people end speeches, anyway?] Okay. Um- That's all! Sooo... Thank you very much. For your time. ...Bye!
