[Enjolras is shown on the screen examining the device for some time before he satisfies both his curiosity and his understanding that he is indeed on the network. Finally, he lifts his head and speaks. His voice is troubled in tone, but clear.]
My friends. Greetings. It’s been explained to me that we will are confined in this place, brought here with no consideration of our will and left here without the ability to leave. I do not choose to accept this, and I trust others feel the same. If you do, contact me and join me. We will gather as much additional information as we can, and see if we can’t take this upon ourselves to gain our freedom. Who is with me?
[He’s fierce as he speaks. His eyes and set of his jaw show his determination. He shuts off the device, again taking his time with it, and waits for a reply.]

So I've been thinking of maybe setting up my telescope one of these days. You know, before the weather does something else weird. Anyone interested in trying to make an astronomy night of it?

As a recent...demonstration...[perhaps the best way to phrase the recent Network Reading of a Certain Story]...the hobby of creating works of fiction appears to be quite popular.

I have long conceded that this is simply a means of entertainment for many, and do not question such a motive. However, I am curious as to which...alternative variations of storytelling are to one's personal preference.

Right, so I guess some of you might have noticed the thing with the dragons running around? Kind of noticeable and all.

[Danny shifts awkwardly as he tries to figure out what to say.]

Look, I didn't bring the amulet here. But I did recognize it. It's from my world. So I guess I kind of feel responsible. Is that a thing? Things from home following you here, I mean?

But yeah... Just for future reference. If you see something glowing a weird green color, maybe try running in the other direction instead of picking it up?

Hey, everybody. I'm turning... twenty one? Twenty two? Have we decided how we're counting that year in the Dreaming yet?

Anyway, I'm having a party at my place. Everybody's welcome. Even if you don't like me, I do have a lot of ice cream. Just putting that out there.

[Attached is his address in the Sky Sector, and the date and time.

Some Foreigners – specifically, Aya, Raine, Jackie, Bucky, Valdis, Danny, Sonja and Miles – will also receive individual texts, consisting of an ASCII art birthday cake, a smiley face, and a link to this video message. Cute.]

Mr. Holmes isn't here any more.

[Conan pauses for a moment, as if he was about to say something else. But really, nothing else needed to be said. Anyone who cared enough to know about Sherlock's whereabouts were smart enough to draw their own conclusions from that.

But on to his other business. Sherlock's disappearance had once again left Conan in the position of being an eight-year-old with no caretaker. Even here he couldn't hold an apartment by himself. Which left him with very few options.]

Is anyone looking for a roommate? I have an apartment, but I don't think I'll be allowed to stay here by myself.

[The video opens on a somewhat charming smile. The man in it seems very sure of himself, and utterly unrattled by his new situation.]

Hey. Captain Jack Harkness here, and I've got to say it's a pretty nice turtle you've got. She's not exactly where I was trying to get, but seeing as this place seems short on the killer reality tv shows...pretty minor quibble.

I've already met a few of the locals - thanks again guys, and sorry about those vegetables - but I'm always open to meet more people. Local, not-so-local, I don't really mind either way since it looks like I'll have some free time.

Other than company, all I'm in the market for right now's a job and maybe some tools, if someone's willing to lend them - I have a piece of tech that got broken in transit somehow, and I'd really rather get it back in one piece.

[He raises his left arm to show off a leather cuff with what appears to be a communicator inside. It's been fried.]

I'm sure we can work something out in exchange, I've been told I'm pretty good with my hands.

[He laughs a little, at his joke, and there's a moment of dead air after it. Just when the pause starts to get uncomfortably long he makes a show of clearing his throat.]

And oh, Doctor, Rose? [His smile tightens, just barely. Appears just a bit forced.] If you're out there, looks like I'm alive after all. Which I'm kind of hoping you two didn't know, because seriously? There are much nicer ways to let a guy down.

I’ve made a fascinating discovery about your Red Dust.

[ For a moment that seems to the end of it but added as, what seems to be an after thought- ]

Oh, and it looks like I've managed to figure out how to stabilise it before you. Tough break that. If you're feeling the need to try and extract the information from me, I invite you to try. You know where I'll be. SH

I have a question.

[ She's got her hair up in a messy bun. At least she's being seen? She's still pretty scarce, but she's coming out of hiding a bit. ]

How often do people get things from home? I mean something you know you left at home and is now here.

I got a photo from home is why I ask. I wasn't expecting it, and it looks like the real thing? Though why it wouldn't be is beyond me.

I was just wondering.

[A brief text message appears on the consoles. It's directed at the Foreigners, but it's not encrypted, nor has Tony disguised his console ID. All that's unusual about it is that it's text: Tony almost always uses the video setting.]

How many of you have been seeing other people's memories? Does anyone know why it's happening? Is it happening to kedan too, or just Foreigners?

Most important question: is it over??

Helloooo, residents of Keeliai!

[Here's a new face -- and someone who doesn't really seem bothered by the news that he's not in his own world. He's smiling, perfectly relaxed, like he does this all the time. He doesn't look at all like someone just had to explain to him how one console connects to every other console in the city, plus a whole bunch of smaller communicators. Man, the wonders of magitechnology.]

I'm sure you hear this all the time, but your women are beautiful. Don't worry, I got the hint, they're off-limits, but I mean it. All you lovely ladies out there, you're gorgeous. It's amazing you have a way for me to be able to tell everyone that at once, this... whatever this is. Seriously.

[His smile brightens, giving the impression he really means it, and then he waves a hand.]

Oh yeah, and it looks like I'm not the only Foreigner here. Anyone want to show me the ropes? The kedan are great, but there's only so much you can get out of them. Apparently -- [And here's the first instance of Zelos looking less than comfortable.] -- we're on the back of a giant turtle.

[ He's set this one to audio simply because he's not feeling well today as evidenced by the brief coughing fit when the feed first snaps on. When he speaks his voice is clipped and slightly hoarse. ]

I need a distraction.

One [ Cough. ] of you must have some perplexing problem you can't solve on your own. [ Cough Cough. ] Bring it to me, and then go away. I'll contact you once I've finished.

[ Cough. ]

And do us both a favor, don't waste my time with anything boring.

[ A pause. ]

If you have to think about it-it's boring.

[ Or you can save yourselves from being insulted by letting him suffer on his own. ]

And John? We're out of tea. Kindly make yourself useful and get some more.

One year has passed since I have arrived on these shores.

For one year, I have known the joy freedom, to wander paths that always have been closed. And while there is much I have learned, there is still so much yet to discover.

I hope these days can continue forever. But even if they cannot, I am happy to have lived them - to have known all of you. I am grateful.

If it is something I am allowed to choose, I would like to consider this date my birthday.

So, um, wow...

This is going sound incredibly stupid on both counts, but would anyone mind lending me some advice on a couple of things? It's nothing really personal, it's just I'm having a little trouble with a couple of small things. (A breath, calm yourself, calm yourself.) Okay, so for starters... I need to look for a job. I used to work at the cat cafe, but that's gone now I think. So, I was thinking of something that I would like to do. And I kind of think I wanted to start a business again. I used to do that. A scooter rental shop in my own world and in another place I was at I ran a consignment shop...

I think if I was going to do that again, I would want to start a bakery or something like that...

(She might even be smiling based on her tone of voice now.)

What kinds of things would you want to see sold? How much do you think I should charge? Should I think about doing something else? What's setting up something like that going to take? What am I missing here...

(Oh, right. She has to ask about this other thing too.)

And now for the second part...

Does anyone know how to build those really cool, big pillow forts? I thought it would be something fun, but I'm having trouble even keeping this little tiny fort upright.
