[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?

[Valdis appears more relaxed and content than usual, her hair is braided and pulled over one shoulder.]

Though it was some time ago, I appreciated your defense of me against the unfounded charges anonymously posted to the network and am pleased to say that I have spoken with Arbitrator Eliyen and have been reinstated as the KPD's Chief of Police.

The past few months have not been ideal, but I would like to thank Pepper, Gene and Kaliel for handling the KPD in my absence. It isn't an easy job and it was made even more difficult due to the atrocities committed by the Cultists. The KPD has several of these cultists in custody, but they are nothing more than pawns in a greater plan. I promise that we will find the masterminds and they will pay for their crimes.

[Now for the new things]

To better serve Keeliai, I will be doubling the number of officers in the coming months. In addition, we acquired four Kirin a few months ago for a mounted force, but need a single person to devote some time to their care. If anyone is interested in that position, please let me know.

That is all.

Okay okay - question to all the Foreigners!

What are your favourite foods? And how are they made?

I swear this is important.

Also if somebody were, you know, writing a kind of story, which may or may not involve Foreigners, what's the rule of thumb for your biology?

...Asking for a friend.

[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.

[The video switches on to the sight of a pretty man with an eyepatch and a mop of blond hair, grinning and waving back at the camera. He's wearing what looks like a slim black kedanese suit, which shows off just how skinny he is, and... yes. That's a frilly pink apron over the suit.]

Hello everyone!

[His voice is light and high, his tone cheerful and friendly.]

I suppose I should introduce myself, shouldn't I? My name is Fai. I'm new to this world--it's nice to meet everyone! Well, sort of. [He laughs] It looks like I'm going to be helping in the kitchen at the Midnight Hotel for a while, and a little bird told me today is Valentine's Day. We didn't have Valentine's Day where I'm from, but my companions and I learned about it during our travels and I rather like the idea. So~~

[He turns the handset toward the room behind him--it's the kitchen of the Midnight Hotel, and it's absolutely full of treats. Chocolate cakes, heart-shaped chocolates, cake pops... you name it, Fai's probably made it, and everything looks professionally-made and delicious. He starts speaking again without moving the camera back to himself.]

My chocolate fondant was quite a hit a few worlds ago, so I thought I'd see what I could whip up. But.... As you can see, I may have gone a little overboard. So if anyone out there needs a treat for a friend or a co-worker, or a sweetheart or a ~potential sweetheart~, please stop by! I'm not charging much, so everyone can afford what they'd like. And if you're nice I might take special requests~

((ooc: Please feel free to toss an action thing at me and have someone stop by in person :3 ))

[Miles holds up his camcorder with his right hand, trying to keep his lack-of-finger from showing. The finger stub is tucked under the hand strap, so, success?]

Okay, I give up. Anyone know where I can get someone to fix a camcorder? It's not really broken - it works fine, but the lens is cracked. [And that's why you don't drop it down several floors, idiot. Never mind that had been totally out of his control.]

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, assuming I got my months right, we just started a new year!

It's a big cultural celebration where I come from.

Does anyone have plans? I was thinking of trying to make a party. We usually celebrate on the first New Moon of the year.

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.

[If there was one thing practically guaranteed to put Danny into a foul mood, it was this time of year. He had never, not once, ever had a Christmas he enjoyed.

And if anything this year was only going to be worse.

After last year he'd promised, okay? He'd promised not to let his usual holiday funk interfere with his family and friend's enjoyment of the season. He'd promised to be better, to try.

And here he was, alone. None of the people he' made that promise for were here. And Danny was just done.

He scowls into the video feed.]

Look, I don't know if people celebrate Christmas or Hanukkah or Kwanzaa or whatever here. I'm just going to get this out before people start going nuts and all the tacky decorations go up.

Leave me out of it. I don't like this time of year and I'm not about to start.

[There's a man in his late 20s on the screen, and he looks tired. Not like he hasn't been sleeping well - though that, too - but like 'tired' is just generally a state of being for him. His hands are out of frame. He's going to keep it that way.]

Not to diss Raine and Heather, without whom I would be dead, and I am very grateful for their help, I've got a question. Out of curiosity, are there any doctors here? Gonna be clear here - I don’t mean maniacs with rusty shears, I don’t mean someone with a penchant for making people into unwilling human guinea pigs for whatever the fuck, I don’t mean Dr. Strangelove’s crazier Nazi cousin who’s trying to turn mental patients into batteries for nanomachines with more tubes in them than that one senator guy called the internet.

‘Cause before I let anyone come near me with so much as a stethoscope in future, I’m going to need to see some medical credentials.

[A pause, and then:]

Also, if anyone comes at me dressed as a priest, this is the only warning you’ll get that I am going to set you on fucking fire. It worked on the last guy.

I'm going to need someone to explain the metrics of this place without mentioning the giant turtle. Before you ask; yes, I have seen it. Though seeing it does little to convince me of its authenticity. I'd never get very far if I took everything at face value. That being said, Discussions on Science and verifiable facts only. if you intend to talk magic don't bother responding. Your input isn't needed. SH

[ Elizabeth holds the new handset up, still marveling at the technology, but getting right to the point. ]

Excuse me Foreigners, I have a request to make. I've been told that there are those here who might be able to teach runes -- or other magics -- to others. Most unfortunately, I've had a young woman named Sonja attempting to obscure who that might be, so I'm making the appeal directly.

If there are people who are indeed capable of sharing these remarkable abilities, and who might be willing to discuss the possibility with me, please let me know. If you'd prefer to meet in person, I can meet you anywhere you'd like.

Hello. Hi. The handsets seem to be nicer now. I think I'd still just to have it programmed to run through my phone. Tony-

Is Tony still here? He worked on it last time.

[ That was a thing that happened, right? People left. And some came back, apparently. ]

Are other people here? That I know?

Right! This is Sonja. Maybe some people remember me. I probably sound different, it's been- [ How long has it been? It's not like... the memories are super clear. She had thought this was a dream, maybe. A dream that had been forgotten. ]

It's been awhile.

Oh, hey...this log...

I don't have to do that here, do I? Well, alright, that makes things slightly easier and less formal, but I guess I have to explain things again... (Not like he has been formal or proper in any of his past logs, anyway?) So, the name's Mark Watney and I'm deciding to go with the quick explanation, so if something doesn't make sense - just ask, I don't want to have to try to think of every single thing right now...

Basically, where I'm from...that version of Earth, anyway... we've been going to Mars for a little while, about 2 missions completed and mine and then at least two more after that - if they don't cancel the missions - and basically a series of weird circumstances happened coupled with a set of weird circumstances that somehow lead to me surviving - I got myself stuck on Mars. Yeah, stuck. They thought I was a dead man, but nooooo I have to like a cat with the whole nine lives thing. Or a zombie. Or some other thing... zombie would be pretty sweet, though. But not like the whole romantic comedy type.

(Mark actually tries to chuckle and manages it but he's just going to sit there and wince at the same time. Note to anyone who asks? Body slamming a detached airlock hurts after the third time, same with being thrown around like a rag doll - do not recommend if you can avoid it.) In any case, I was kind of in the middle of a situation before I woke up here and my face plate kind of got f....messed up. Sh...crap, it's not sinking in that I don't have that thing here with me. It's back in the rover. That's going to be really, really bad if I figure out how to get out of here and back to the red dusted hellhole.

(He frowns.) Well, at least it was sealed, I guess and even if I come up with a plan it's not like I'm gonna remember it, anyway, right? (But, what else is he going to do? Sit and twiddle his thumbs all day? Nah, that just sounds lame.)

In any case, you have no idea how glad I am that there are other people here. No idea at all.

(It hasn't been a day at a carnival, that's for sure.)

valyriandragon

I would like to apologize for my first impression. [This is late, she realizes, but she has spent her time well, adjusting to this world and its...peculiarities. For the sharp eyed, one might notice that she is dressed like...medical personnel? A Healer in the making?

The Queen is not above getting her hands dirty and helping others.]

I have not lived an easy life. I bite and I roar when I believe someone is taking advantage of me. Once, I cowered, you understand. I promised myself I would never do so again no matter my fear.

[Some might not understand that. She understands that too.]

In my world, I am one of four dragons; the last of my family line. Even so, I am here to serve my fellow Foreigners. My hands shall not rule in these lands; they will heal instead.

Thank you for your kindness and your patience.

(She stares into the device to make sure it's recording. Her expression turns from something kind of serious and deep in thought to one of relief. "Oh good. Not much different than that other place..." Marie then tries to smile, of course she looks a bit more concerned than anything else.)

Uh, uh...hi. I'm Marie. Um...let's see here... I think I'm good with what's going on. I mean, I get it. At least, I have a map...and I've been without a lot less before... it's a long story...

(Marie finds herself beginning to ramble - to the outsider it sounded like some "adventure" or a not very thought out plan she had when shew was younger, but she quickly stops herself. It's definitely better to not get so personal, not yet anyway. She glances down for a moment.)

Ah, uh..right. I'll just shut up now about that. It's not very interesting.

(Then she pauses.)

Um, by the way...has anyone seen....

(She lets her thought trail off and she debates in the middle of her question about asking if someone else might be wandering around. Only slightly taller than her (and she's a tall girl herself), square headed, overly serious looking... potentially over his head in trouble within moments of setting foot in a place?)

She woke up alone now that she gives everything some more thought and then she glances at the ring on her hand. )

Um, well, uh...it's not that important. So, um, I'll be here for a little while....

[No matter the world, Daenerys's appearance is likely to cause a stir. From her silver-blonde hair to her purple eyes, she is, to some, strikingly beautiful.

Yet one would be mistaken in thinking her delicate.]

Separate me from my Dragons, my armies, my councilors and you accomplish nothing. I am Daenerys Stormborn nonetheless and I do not fear you.

[Her small stature belies her fire; her passion. Hands clench at her sides and she inhales, muscles tense and eyes bright.]

Reveal your intentions. [It is an order; a command - given by one who is accustomed to being heard and obeyed.] To those not involved, you need not fear me or my Dragons. They will find me. It is only a matter of time.

[She believes in her children. She has faith that they will look until they find her.]

And when they do, they will protect and defend my allies and vanquish my enemies.

holbydelboy

Look what I found.

[Fletch is postiviely glowing, grinning as he hefts a large device with a screen onto the table in front of the console. Fletch wraps an arm around it as if it was a long lost friend.]

This is a LifePak. A LifePak 15, to be precise. It's a medical monitor, and am I bloody glad to see it. Basically, it does everything; blood pressure, heart monitoring, temperature... You name it. It even acts as an automatic and manual defibrilator. I just found them in one of the curio shops. The kedan shopowner was very accomodating when I stopped him from frying himself on the charged Defib parts.

[He's still grinning. It's tech from home. Tech he can use.]

I'm donating these. One to the Healer's Guild, one to the Hotel, with the caveat that both can be used by anyone trained in them if they need to, and they can be moved between the Hotel and the Guild freely. As for training, I'm happy to give courses in how to use 'em, at a very generous rate that will go straight to the Healer's Guild, of course.

[A pause as he looks the device over.]

I need to have a word with someone who can fashion a charger for them, though. They're fully charged at the moment, but, yeah, they're battery operated. So anyone from the Metalworkers or the College fancy a challenge? Let me know. It'd be much appreciated.
