Am I the only one who thinks it's suspicious how, in the weeks around the Emperor's murder, our presence is suddenly graced with a pair of queens, a princess, a prince, and whatever that horned kid is?

It's not the first grouping I've noticed.

[Say hello to Emma Frost, an intimidatingly beautiful but apparently normal human woman who is not especially pleased to be on a giant turtle and drafted into some kind of metaphysical war. She's got it dialed down to an aura of vague irritation, though, and she leans back in the large desk chair that came with her Fire Sector suite. The deep brown of the leather sets off her pale coloration and low-cut white X-Men uniform to excellent effect, and if you think she didn't plan that, you haven't met Emma.]

Please tell me there's a half-decent salon somewhere on this planet.

[If she has to do her own roots she's switching to diamond form until the problem is resolved, see if she doesn't.

Yes, yes, Malicant, a murdered emperor, giant turtles all but extinct, a world on the verge of destruction...but none of those are the sort of thing one ought to ask stupid questions about in public, now are they?]

As some of you may know, I was hired to find the person responsible for multiple killings in September, along with an attempted homicide. That person has now killed the Emperor. [ There's a flash of something like remorse, but it only lasts a second before her jaw tightens. There's no time to feel guilty for not catching the person sooner. She has to stop him now, before he kills again. ]

I have a list of suspects. I've narrowed it down significantly. If you were one of the people I talked to about it, please see me immediately.

[ Jack's voice is quiet, nearly monotone and there are dark hollows under his eyes. ]

There's something you should know about the snow in the open areas between the domes. Some of the snow I make has magic in it, and what it does is make people more open to loosening up and playing around in it. It has to do with my center being Fun, it was never intended to hurt anyone but... it did.

Even though this time was an accident... it was also in the big snowfall last March. If you spent a lot of time outside that weekend, you probably got at least a little dose of it. A couple people already knew about this but I'm the one who should have said something before this. Long before, I was just--

I've already tried to break as much of the effect as I can between the three main domes, it should be mostly clear now and back to regular snow.

[ Which might explain the ill effect it seems to have had on him; he's been literally trying to undo the very essence of himself he expended into it. He takes a breath as though to add something else then apparently thinks better of it, reaching over and turning the console off. ]

So... the turtle is new and different. I've done space whales, but not reality-turtles.

Anyway. Longshot, but any of my team here? Lookin' for a General James Howlett especially, or Miz Alison Blaire? ...Hercules? ...Emmaline Frost-Summers? I mean, she doesn't even like me and I think she's a goddess now, but worth a shot.

Guessing not, though, so does anybody need somethin' fixed? Because I hate being bored, and unless somebody's got a mission that needs doing, I'mma be a huge pain in the butt.

[The feed picks up as a crate of comics book is slammed down on the desk by one Bart Allen, who is grinning like the Cheshire Cat. It's like Christmas. It's better than Christmas. It's better than every holiday rolled into one, and Bart can barely keep in frame, because he cannot stand still with this much excitement. Whether he's bouncing on his heels or buzzing with energy is unclear, but, if anyone had ever wondered what would happen if you gave a speedster espresso, he's doing a pretty good imitation.]

Guysguys you are not going to believe what they had at one of the auctions. BillyKonBarry! You guys have to come over and see these.

[Bart reaches into the crate and pulls out a comic book. It looks like it's from the 1960s or earlier, and those who would recognize it can clearly see that this book is a Flash comic, featuring Jay Garrick as the Flash.]

This is awesome! There's got to be hundreds of these and I've never read any of them and SOMEONE has to come lock them up somewhere I can't get at them and only give me one a day. 2 a day. OK. Three a day, but I don't wanna burn through them all because some of them aren't in the best shape and if I read them all now what am I gonna do tomorrow??

[Everyone gets to see two familiar faces this time, with a couple of twists. Dick (the elder) is sitting down in the chair, wearing a bright red coat with white trim, a hat of the same color, and of course, a beard to match the whole thing. It’s pulled down, though, so you can see his face. And his wonderful assistant, Zatanna, is standing behind him, dressed up like the most beautiful elf there is. They’re both looking pretty happy about this.]

It’s getting cold out! And what does cold mean? Holiday fun, of course. So I, and my amazing elf assistant here, have decided that Santa Claus needs to come to the turtle. [See what he did there? See it? Okay, good.]

And so it is with pleasure that we let everyone know-- [He gets cut off as Zatanna leans forward, and he looks up at her.]

[The fifteen-year-old elf bends down until she's level with his ear, covering her mouth so she could whisper something secretively to him.]

Really?

[She nods, and offers a playful wink.] Trust me. I know a guy who knows the guy personally.

[Dick looks back at the screen, and his voice drops into a perfect, heavy Russian accent.] Is this better?

[She practically has to bite her tongue to keep from bursting out laughing. Impressive. She should've known.] It'll do.

[Dick grins.] I’d like to invite everyone to come over to the Wood sector, where we have a little holiday party going on.

[He stops, laughing and shaking his head. He has to drop the Russian accent.] Okay, I can’t keep that one up, but I tried! Anyway, we’ve got a small thing going on in a café in the Wood sector, with some cakes and gingerbread-ish things, and some hot drinks. And what would Santa be without his...

[He holds up a huge, red velvet-like bag.] Bag, yes! And it is filled with little odds and ends, so there are presents for all!

[Dick sets the bag down, and pulls the beard back up with a grin.] And to all, a good... day? Yeah, that still works. To all, a good day! Remember, café in the Wood sector, we’ll be here awhile!

Jaime, my son, is no longer here.

Tony, Miles, if you could come over to the clinic at some point, I'd be grateful. He left some instructions for where a few things should go, in case... this happened.

[Still hard to say.]

That's all. Thank you.

[ Jack looks and sounds better than he has in the last week or two, a combination of the cold weather snap and feeling like he has been productive easily sweeping aside the thoughts which are wont to drag him down. In fact he's beaming at the console screen, Baby Tooth hovering by his shoulder and he's reasonably certain that most people have found their way back to being able to see and hear them so he just dives right into the reason for his post. ]

I've got something to share: the welcoming committee that I mentioned last month? Now that people are coming into the city again, I asked the Emperor about it and whether the kedan whose jobs it is to help us that first day could mention it and she said yes. But she also got me a permit for a stall in central Keeliai where it's easy for everyone to find, to set up a place where people can visit if they're confused by everything and need help.

[ He's giving credit where credit is due, because he is appreciative that Eshai helped out. ]

So now it's like a welcome center-- sort of? A really small one. But we can use it to have written maps and guides for learning the city, in different languages if people are willing to translate. Instructions on what the consoles can do beyond the crash course that the kedan give and also about things like how they turn to goop if you try to mess with them. Uhh... what else. Oh, right! Books that are in English or other languages that people might recognize, like a mini library! Also things like what you can't say out loud, because... yeah.

[ Questionable oratory skills aside, it's obvious that Jack is excited for the project. ]

Also if people are willing to show others around when they get here, it'll help them settle in. Sometimes it helps just to get the tour from a person rather than a map, right? Oh and here... I tried to make a schedule for the people who already volunteered to help.

[ Attached is a tentative grid for those who offered in the last post, with blocks of time set up for them to be "on-duty". It'll probably be all shuffled around shortly to accommodate people's schedules, but at least he made the effort. ]

I don't think I forgot anything...

So. Uh, getting kind of cold out there.

[hello Keeliai. Ellie clearly doesn't have a reason for being on the network. Not an immediately obvious one, but she loved the idea of being able to talk to everyone like this, quickly and easily. It was so foreign from what she's known her entire life]

You know what, though? It's not that bad. Pretty fucking cool, actually, and just about every restaurant I've been to is serving hot something. Hot chocolate, hot tea, so if you get cold, you know what you needa do is get some of that in you.

[okay, she could tell that was stupid. But hey, maybe she could ask more people about Thanksgiving, while she was there. A day late.]

So, I know this whole thing is a day late and a buck short and all that... But what'd everyone do for Thanksgiving? Yesterday was my first one and it wasn't bad. I ate a lot. And, okay, this is dumb, but I started thinking about things I'm thankful too. Yeah, I know, it's what the holiday is all about... But I'm kind of glad to be here. Believe me, I love food.

... And friends and stuff. So, uh... anyone got any good stories? They don't have to be Thanksgiving related or anything, I just wanna talk.

Okay, why is it cold as balls right now? I'm from California. I'm not used to this. This is completely unacceptable. If I wanted to live like this, I'd move to freakin' Alaska and cuddle up with a polar bear. I'm going to get frostbite. Things are going to start falling off my body because of this, I know it.

Bryn, I'm calling out sick for the duration of this because if I go outside I'm going to drop dead. Of ice. I'm going to turn into an abominable snowman after all, and this time it won't be a joke.

[It's been awhile since Bianca's made a network post, but here she is again.]

This is going to be on the long side, but I have a few announcements regarding the clinic to make, and then something regarding Thanksgiving. [If the clinic info doesn't keep people's attention, the thought of food certainly will.]

First off, the kedan are expecting winter weather and cold temperatures to hit us soon, and the Dr. Natu clinic [Even if Soranik isn't here anymore, it makes sense to keep calling it that] received vouchers for warm clothing. If you don't have the funds to purchase winter clothing like coats, especially if you're a new arrival, stop by our clinic here in Earth, [Directions to the building here, with a location ping] and pick one up.

Ours isn't the only clinic to get these vouchers, so if there's one closer to you, you don't need to make your way out here.

Second, once a week from this point onward, we're also going to be offering classes on basic first aid, what to do in case of medical emergencies, and general health classes, among others. These are open to everyone, including the kedan, and while we'll be charging for each class, it's to help fund the clinic and to pay for the supplies for the basic first aid classes. If you don't have any experience with first aid, I heavily suggest signing up, since we'll also be including a first aid kit with the first aid classes.

We'll also be having a full staff day on these same days. If you haven't had a physical or checkup recently, the full staff days would be the best time to get one, especially with cold weather approaching.

Finally, on a more personal note, since we had Halloween about a week ago, [Even if that went badly with all the disappearances going on] for a lot of us, that means that Thanksgiving is a few weeks away. I know not everyone celebrates it, and that not everyone has family or friends from where they came from here with them, but I want to invite everyone here to EA-1A for Thanksgiving dinner in three weeks if they want to join Jaime and me, and you don't have other plans.

If you decide to come, feel more than free to bring something along with you if you like for the table.

[Anyone who has CR with Jaime or Bianca would be getting a personal invite delivered in person for this by Jaime.]

[OOC:Most of the clinic information, besides the cold weather voucher bit, can be found here.

The forward dated Thanksgiving log can be found here.

I wish to know how much of what they told us is a lie.

[ Since she couldn't actually rip it out of the kedan telepathically. Damnit. ]

Other than that, I require a guide to this city, someone well-versed in its politics, and history. [ Small pause. ] And a regular shopping companion. You will be well-compensated.

I wonder what it means now that people are showing up again. Why such a long period between the last group that showed up and this one, is it taking too much out of the Emperor?

[He frowns and sits back.]

Is this what it's going to be like now? A long break between people showing up or was it just a blip?

[He shrugs as if to move on because wow, that's a lot of questions.]

Anyway, hello to all the new people that've shown up.

[It took Teddy a couple of hours to get his footing after the kedan dropped him off in the city. He had been experiencing information overload, not to mention feeling completely exhausted. That's why the first thing he did when he found his apartment was locate the bed and pass out. But he hadn't expected to sleep until the next day.

When he appears on the console screen his hair will be messy and sticking up at different angles like he just rolled out of bed. Which...he did. He smiles at whoever is watching and clears his throat.]


Ah, good morning. I'm Teddy Altman, and I arrived yesterday. I've gotten the big explanation about this place already, but I have a couple of questions for the rest of you.

First, does anyone know where I can find a really good cheeseburger? Do they have those here? I haven't done much exploring of the city yet, so feel free to recommend places for me to check out. Even if they don't have burgers. I'm willing to compromise.

I'm also wondering about this whole employment thing. What sort of jobs are available? Is anyone looking to hire a teenager without much skill? [Being a superhero is the only "job" he's ever had. But he's not sure how well it would go down if he mentioned that.]

[Once he's done asking his questions he goes silent for a moment or two. His grin slips away and his expression changes to one of complete seriousness.]

For my last question...I'm wondering if anyone has seen blonde woman, in her early thirties. She's wearing a matching blue outfit, shirt, skirt, and jacket. She...may refer to herself as Mrs. Altman. [The words taste like poison on his tongue. He doesn't want to believe she's here, but why wouldn't she be? She's powerful enough. Even worst he's probably giving himself away if she is here, but he can't just remain silent.] Anyways...if you see her, stay away from her. She's dangerous.

So uh, if we were back on Earth it would be pretty close to Halloween, wouldn't it? Uh, those of you from Earth, I mean.... And Halloween is nothing without horror movies--especially zombie movies. As I don't think moves are an option here, I'm trying to get my horror fix somewhere else. Suggestions??

I know it's been a few days since the whole magical mix up's been sorted but...it's mega lame when you wake up and you remember that you're not as strong as you grow up to be.

Been here for over a year and...well I haven't noticed my clothes getting too small or anything. Y'know, don't see any changes. Don't feel any changes either.

[He brings his other arm up, the one not holding his head up, and flexes.]

See that? That's like half the size they were last week.

[He lets out a sigh and sits up straighter before leaning back in his chair.]

Okay, there was actually a point to making this. Not that. Anyone got a job going? I'll do anything. I'm a great people person, I'm pretty strong yadda yadda, the usual self selling spiel people do when they need a job.
