Not to be a spoilsport. I'm enjoying all the parties and naked frolicking as much as the next man, but...


...Is anyone else perturbed by the proximity of a chunk of what is clearly some manner of Nethecite?

Anyone? Or need I explain myself more thoroughly?

Oh, I got it to work.God, this is embarrassing.

[ clearing his throat, the brunet on screen fidgets, wondering what to say. They taught him a million things in the Welcome Center- why couldn't they give him a lesson on how to say "Hello, I'm new!" without feeling like an idiot?

Okay. He can do this. No biggie. Just everyone's first impression of you. ]


Err, I'm Leonardo. Leonardo Watch. I got out of the Welcome Center a while ago and well, um, does anyone know where I could try and stay? I know they said something about looking for a hotel but, uh, yeah.

[ That should be interpreted as: "I didn't understand their directions and now I'm lost." Even he has pride, alright? ] Also, thanks in advance!

 [Oh look, a certain Jedi is actually making a console post instead of stalking everyone else's.]

My apologies for not introducing myself here sooner. To those I haven't already met, my name is Obi-Wan Kenobi. 

[Now that, that's done. He has a very important question.]

Does anyone know what 'grasshopper' means?

Ssssoooo...

[Cue one Nurse Fletcher, sprawled out in a chair in one of the cafés, a cup of tea sat before him that he's idly stirring. It's his lunch break, he's allowed this.]

I've noticed that there doesn't seem to be much of a nightlife around here. Or, at least, one that people don't use like they should. I am, of course, talking about most of the Foreigners around here. Seriously, guys, you gotta blow off some steam at some point.

[A pause.]

And I ain't talking about bashing one another to bits in that arena on Tavimbi. I'm talking about going for a pint after work, or going on an all-night bender, getting mortal and waking up regretting stuff.

[Another pause.]

Not that I'd recommend stuff like that on a regular basis, but, hey. It works. Besides, a bit of social lubrication can help get people to know each other better.

[He then stops, scratches his cheek, raising the cup.] Of course, I might be completely wrong about everyone being boring and not spending time with each other. [Slurp of tea.] So, if I am, you'll have to come and prove me wrong.

[The welcome centre had, indeed, been welcoming. Which was a pretty good thing, considering Adrien had bust in very confused and very worried. Plagg was more exhausted than Adrien had ever seen him, and it took a lot of convincing that Hawk Moth hadn't just straight up kidnapped him. But he'd been calmed and informed. He still wasn't exactly happy. He needed to be back home. With Ladybug. They were not supposed to be apart. Still. For now, he decided to play along. Not much else he could do.

So a fifteen year old boy will appear on the feed, offering a polite smile and a small wave.
]

Um. Hello. I'm Adrien. I'm new here... obviously. I'm still trying to get used to the whole turtle thing. I mean. This is a whole lot different to Paris. Less honeymooners, that's for sure.

[He gives a small, nervous laugh. He has no idea what he's doing. For the first time in his life, he's free without the mask. There's no staff waiting to whisk him away to whatever his father had planned for him that day. There's no schedule. He has to do this on his own and it's as terrifying as it is liberating.]

I guess I need to find a place to live? Does anyone have any idea where the best place to be is? I would be very grateful.

[He startles, as if something has kicked him in the ribs, which; hidden under his shirt, has absolutely happened.]

OW!- I mean oh!. And cheese. Is there a good place for cheese here? Thank you.

[And now he's gonna be the Weird Cheese Kid, thanks Plagg. Thanks a lot.]

[She was wearing sunglasses again.  Although, this time, rather than the pasta-themed pair donned in celebration of her and Tim's private joke...she was wearing a simple--yet still stylish--pair of dark shades.  The kind that concealed her eyes from view completely.  Combined with the way her head tilted down ever so slightly, along with the occasional wince as she spoke, and it was clear she had a reason for wearing them beyond fashion.]

Okay, first of all?  Anybody who's been getting the idea to go join that Fight Club over in Causeway?  I so do not recommend it.

[Don't ask.  Please.  The answer was way too embarrassing....]

Second...and this is just a shot in the dark here...but I was wondering if there were any tech-friendly people know anything about programming games and stuff?  Mindless entertainment or even educational.  I'm good with either option.

I'll admit, you've got one interesting place here.

[The voice belongs to a young woman, and sounds to be in her early to mid-twenties. A bit tired perhaps, but whatever stress she feels is being carefully restrained as she begins her plea for information - with an introduction naturally.] As practiced as that orientation is at the Welcome Center, I take it everyone is rather used to newcomers. So, hi. Name's Abigail, and I'm from a city called San Fransokyo.

[There's a pause that follows, but the hesitation is shaken off as she proceeds to her point.]

Just walking into the city in the first place showed me a lot. And keeping an open mind, the whole Great Turtle is begging a lot of questions, but I have one thing I would like to confirm.

For lack of a better way to say it, did time really stop back where we came from? Has anyone been able to verify it somehow? I ask because I transitioned here at a really...inopportune moment.

[The video shows a posh interior scene--silken curtains, low sofas, cushions, and more pretty people wandering through the background of the video than you can shake a stick at. It's luxurious. Almost flamboyant. Which, amusingly enough, is still no match for the flamboyance of the person in the center of the video feed.

Yep, it's Rue again. He's been missing in action since the night of the Masquerade, and missing from the network a little longer still, but here he is: he's wearing the closest kedanese equivalent of a frock coat, sky blue and satiny, with frilly cuffs and a wide-brimmed hat as usual. What little face can be seen beneath the hat is powdered and rouged and bears a perfect smile of lipstick. He's even found himself a fancy cane with a silver handle in the shape of a flower.

He's back, and he's addressing the network from what looks like a brothel.

When he speaks it is, as always, in a high-pitched, nasal English accent.]


Good morning my darlings--or is it good evening? I do believe I've lost track of the hour.

[He waves a hand imperiously, dismissing the thought.]

Anyway! It has come to my attention that we've arrived at our destination. A new land to explore, new peoples to meet, et cetera et cetera. So tell me, my dears, what have you seen? Is there anywhere on this new rock I simply must go for myself? How is the culture, darlings? The fashion?

...or if you've not yet gone yourself, would anyone care for a companion?

[There's a suggestive little smile at the end, there.]

Let me take a guess at how many people you get freaking out on a regular basis. Don't get me wrong, this whole thing is, uh... bullshit, but given we apparently can't do anything about it — do you still get a lot of whiners? Maybe I'm not being fair. Maybe everyone is reasonable about all this.

[ He grimaces, then shrugs. ] Then again, maybe not. Still, forgive me if I mess up some kind of cultural thing because I'm from somewhere that doesn't have magic or people other than humans. I'm still learning.

[ That's when he takes a deep breath and looks almost pained that he has to keep talking. ]

All of that said, my name is Junior. Well, no it isn't, but I go by that. My name is Will Vega. I guess I'm looking for a job now. Anyone know of anywhere looking for a baker?
