22 ❄ ( VIDEO ) backdated to Feb 2

I know it's a long shot but if anyone sees a large groundhog with a hat and a vest out today, tell him thank you for me!

[ Someone's pretty gleeful that today's weather is bright! Casting shadows everywhere! Six more weeks of winter for him! ]

[She looks more like a deer caught in someone's headlights than someone about to proclaim something, but it's been coming up, and she doesn't know how to deal with it.]

I don't know what you all want, but I'm the Abigail Hobbs Hannibal mentioned. [Maybe it's like putting a target on her back. She doesn't see herself as an innocent, though she would have done anything to be able to say this to the world back home.]

My father was a serial killer, too. So if you have something to say to me, this is the place.

[It's personal, and it's open, but she thinks she knows what she's doing. Abigail always thinks she knows what she's doing before she throws herself to the flames.]

[When last Emma graced the network, she had been looking for a salon, and either found one or is making do brilliantly, because she's as put together as ever, though this time her expression is more serious.]

It's come to my attention that the late Dr. Lecter was a psychiatrist. If any of his patients want to continue counseling, I'm a licensed therapist. [Sex therapy totally counts.] I don't actively practice anymore--I'm a schoolteacher--but I'd be willing to hold sessions if there's a need.

[She pauses and her expression gets a bit wry.]

It's entirely understandable if the man damaged anyone's opinion of the profession, but I assure you, we're not all serial killers.

[History of supervillainry and general manipulativeness aside, Emma is in fact a perfectly good therapist if she isn't trying to break up your marriage.]

[Julie's usually a responsible person but today, she woke up with a bit of a shock. Probably the worst one in a good long while. Raleigh was gone. She checked where he worked. She checked his usual hang-outs and when she checked his old suite and saw the Kedan cleaning it...

Well, that confirmed it. He was gone.

So she went back home and tried to go back to bed, but she couldn't sleep. She should tell people what was going on. But she didn't want to. When she finally could drag herself to her console to post a message, the video is on for at least a second and the look on her face is definitely one of hurting.

So off the video feed goes when she realizes she can't actually say what's wrong and she resorts to text, instead.

She doesn't even bother filtering it.]

Raleigh Becket is gone.

[That's it. That's the note. That's all she wrote, folks. She may have to just stay inside today and try to paint something because going out sure as shit isn't happening.]

[ there is a scrawny, shaggy-haired teen on the screen. he does not look particularly impressed to be on the screen. his hands are shoved into the pockets of his jacket and one might wonder if that slight frown is a permanent fixture of his face. ]

What happens to the dead here?

[ out of everything, it's his most pressing question about this place. sure he's had it up to here with being unwillingly trapped anywhere, he's down a 40 ft statue, and there's a million other questions rapidly milling about in his head, but the most concerning thing right now is that lack of a certain presence — one that's almost become a staple in his life. try as he might, he can't seem to sense the underworld, which being a son of hades, is reason enough to worry. (plus there's a distinct lack in his ability to just shadow travel out of here, which he suspects might tie into the whole thing).

making a post hadn't been his first option, but since finding his suite hadn't exactly brought any new information, he'd turned to the console as a resort. ]

I need someone who can answer other questions too. Real answers. [ none of that half-answered, roundabout, dodging of the kedan. preferably the same person who brought him here, but he'll wait to see if that's going to happen as easily as he hopes. ]

I guess I should start off saying happy New Year. Even if it feels strange saying that. [Stranger still that she's been here this long.]

I don't really do New Years resolutions myself. If people want to change, they should do it. Not because it's some sort of gimmick. Besides as strange as it sounds this is the most normal I've ever really had.

[She sighs.] I should probably stop waiting for the other shoe to drop.

VIDEO 004; LOCKED FROM JULIE GRIGIO.

[You guys know Raleigh right? He's been around. He's been recovering and spending time with Julie and Ellie. Today however, he has something serious on his mind.]

Show of hands who knows Julie Grigio.

[After a moment's pause] She's got a birthday coming up, and I want to plan a real old fashioned birthday party. This is me...gauging interest.

...This is me admitting I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing.

It's a secret however, so everybody keep it to yourselves.

[Costigan appears on screen, frowning but seemingly less anxious and restless than usual.]

I forgot almost everyone here I know for over two weeks. [A beat.] I remember now.

[He doesn't mention that it hurt both physically and emotionally when that happened, or how he might have intentionally overdosed himself if not for Abigail's presence.]

Anyone ever find anything out about that?

[It’s colder than it was. The light enters his new suite enters at a lower angle, casting long, ugly shadows. He hasn't taken the time to rearrange this one. He doesn’t like the deep stripes, like bars across the furniture, and it would be almost nothing to move things, give the room better flow -- but every time he tries, his hands begin shaking. He holds them under the desk, out of sight of the console.]

I don’t know exactly how much time has passed.

[He can’t account for it, the gap in his memory. Oh, he remembers. Late summer sunlight, sitting at the table, gathering the pleats of fabric, pinning them in place. The chill light of the city, filtered through the water, as the turtle dove. And then nothing. He sits in front of the console, dressed far too lightly for the sudden onset of cold weather. But his face shows none of the near panic, the unanswered questions. Just a pleasant, even expression.]

It’s obvious that some has; at least several weeks. Is Finnick Odair still here, or maybe Katniss Everdeen?

[Katniss was gone, but maybe... There’s a sick twist of hope in his gut that he struggles to keep hidden. Katniss would know. If she’s here, she could answer the questions that he desperately needs to know the answers to. But he can’t hang his hopes on that.]

Well, even if they aren’t, I’m going to need to get my feet back under me. I’m opening up commissions for made-to-order clothing. My name is Cinna -- I previously worked in Favrielle no Eglantine’s dress shop, and I have several years of tailoring experience. I’d hope there is someone here still who can vouch for my work.

[But he doesn’t know -- it could well have been years. Where was he, in the time he can’t account for? Who had him? He swallows.]

Thank you.

[ Olivia's got her standard smile on, but for people who know her, her voice and smile have a forced edge to them. Which makes sense given the opening of her post. ]

If anyone knew Lincoln Lee, he's not here anymore. If anyone has any unfinished business involving him, you can contact me.

[ She shifts a bit and looks down for a moment before bringing her head back up with a renewed smile and a touch more genuine enthusiasm. ]

That being said! The bakery is still going to open within the next few weeks. We've been working hard to get the building in shape and perfect our recipes, so I expect to see all of you there sooner or later. I'll make an announcement when we open for good. Like I said, should be soon baring, oh, an invasion of rabid zombie turkeys or whatever disaster is flavor of the week.

[ The vouchers on offer have been put to good use. Witness one Vulcan wrapped up in a couple of high-neck, long-sleeved sweaters where he sits in front of the screen. There's no way of regulating the temperature as accurately as he could on the Enterprise, so the curtains are also drawn to stave off the encroaching cold and, in the comfort of his own abode, he's donned a thick cardigan that looks like a customized blanket. ~~Winter, nngh.~~ So while Spock looks a lot fluffier, his tone is just as businesslike as usual. ]

Many of the foreign recipes I am familiar with have little bearing on the available ingredients in the market and as such may not be employed here. I would be grateful for suggestions on supplemental dishes and am willing to provide recompense for any assistance provided. On a different note, if there are any individuals with an inclination toward telepathy, I am curious as to whether any of them know where it would be most opportune to try and establish a meld with the turtle. That said, they would be welcome to participate in a psychic foray being made. I was told that this has never been attempted by a great number of minds and find the unexplored concept fascinating.

I am familiar with the weight of a great many consciousnesses and amenable to hosting temporary mental immersion with others.

[ In other words, Spock is happy to be the Red Ranger in a group setting where other minds might need to rely on him for direction or support. He goes on, lifting a hand-written stack of notes off his lap. ]

Ellie, I have compiled more information concerning space and attached a short questionnaire to serve as your homework. Please contact me at your earliest convenience to collect your personalized astronomy file.

I know I'm not the only who went through that. [And honestly she's so tired of 'going through' things. But there's a breath.]

Guess I feel like there's pieces of me back there. Did anyone else forget someone important to them?

[Because as much as she's upset over what happened, what happened to her back home, and just her entire familial situation, losing her mother as in actually losing her made her feel even more isolated and alone. Abigail isn't one for reaching out. She barely speaks to the people who know her situation, but she'd rather not feel alone in this.]

TEXT ★ 004

Obviously, I was not the only one affected by that damn Pagan holiday prank, but I am wondering:

Has anyone reappeared that didn't come out completely unscathed?

If so, please respond here, or come to the clinic. I would like to ask a few questions.

[There's a short silence before Costigan speaks. When he does, it's probably the most tentative he has ever sounded.]

I can't tell you what happened. I wasn't a part of this world, but now I am again. Maybe I was dreaming, maybe I was a spirit, I don't know.

[Another pause. You can hear the frown.]

I need anyone who knows me to contact me.

And I might need a doctor.

The interesting thing about Halloween is that you can be someone else, I think. Most've the time that's not really an option.

_{( he thinks it's probably never much of an option, for him, but that's a thought that doesn't need vocalizing. )}

If you could be someone--something--else, would you?

It seems kind of like running away.

It's quite upsetting, I believe...

[He pauses for a long moment, thoughtful, before sighing. Courfeyrac has painted a cat's nose on his and whiskers... And has somehow managed to procure a pair of cat ears.]

I may not understand this supposed modern concept of Hallow's Eve... But I am thoroughly depressed that my greatest disguise was the woman's body I found myself with just one month ago. I'm afraid nothing can ever quite live up to that again.

[Wrinkling his nose thoughtfully, he scratches just above the paint and shrugs.]

Regardless, I'll just have to try harder from now on. Nothing ever goes quite like it should, does it?

((OOC: ALL MY APOLOGIES to all who tagged Garcia's initial post! Soon after introing her my health exploded and it's been a very rough month. Anyone who wants to handwave or continue those threads PLEASE let me know and I am happy to!

Also I wrote this post riiiight before going to the hospital for 4 days, so if we could subtly gloss over the lateness and/or backdate threads that'd be awesome!))

[The woman on the screen probably looks familiar. Her bold makeup and brightly colored jewelry and clothing are similar to before, but gone is her blonde-with-streaks hair. Now she's a ~~fabulous~~ redhead. However, the starkly freaked tone and expression might ping a few memories. Also, the rambling.]

So, okay. Maybe I'm still a little green or newb-like whatever, but in my book it's not every day someone casually announces the almost imminent death of you and everyone you care about and all the worlds ever to the beginning and end of time. Yeah, I'm still freaked out about that. I don't think I've stopped freaking since I got here.

Here's the thing, though. I don't know if it'll do a lick of good since home's home and here's... whatever it is and I don't have any fantastical awesome powers beyond the realm of computer code, but here goes nuthin'. If anyone knows of any way a certifiably world-renowned hacker could be at all useful in the process of, you know, not getting killed, I'd be totally willing to help.

I also have a kickass fashion sense and I play a little ukelele and if anyone's into shameless flattery I can spread it nice and thick... not that I assume those are, like, in demand for the purposes of not dying, but I'm just. Throwing it out there. Really, I'm a fan of being not-dead so I'm not ruling anything out. Penelope Garcia, at your service.

If nothing else, I could use a legit paying gig because my wardrobe is sorely lacking. And if I'm gonna die I'd much rather do it while looking spectacular.

four ☂ video ☁ alright don't worry even if things end up a bit too heavy

[ When the feed comes on, Isaac is giving as close a smile as he can. He's not a grinning guy, so it's somewhere between a smirk and a genuine smile. He's also back in his own body. It's a good week. ]

Question. Is anyone sick of having to be in one place to check messages and send them? I don't know about you guys, but I miss phones. And texting. Texting made everything so easy. [ Not to mention, it kept people safe. Instantaneous danger alert, natch. ] Anybody able to come up with some sort of phone prototype? I'd ask if magic can convert a phone or something - cause there's magic here - but, mine is still in the cradle of the car I was driving. So, I want the next best thing. I'd even say some sort of weird telepathy thing could be cool but nobody should be inside my mind. And I don't care what you're all thinking.

[ Also, gross, being inside someone's mind. Switching gears. ]

Also. I feel like my circle of social interaction is limited. No offense to people from Beacon Hills, but I'm used to the small town high school atmosphere. Even being infamous was better than this. So, I'm looking for some friends. I have one really, [ A beat as he considers this ] really good friend. [ Because, what is he going to define right now? ] And I think I had a friend who I pissed off and then there's Erica but there should be more, right? That's what being a teenager is about? Friends and stuff? Since I can't go to school, I want the school experience.

Also, sports. I play lacrosse - if anybody knows what I'm talking about. And thanks to gym class, I've played everything from badminton (no) to basketball (sure, I'm tall) - anybody into organizing something? I even ran cross-country. So, finding some guys to run with. Could be cool.

[ He has all this excess energy, sue him. ]

Also - parties. Specifically, raves? Clubs? Anything like that here?

[ 30% hackable - Stiles Stilinski

We should talk. Catch up. I uh - I got something for you last week.

[ 30% hackable - Scott McCall

I know I called you a friend. You're like my best friend. I also know we've crossed into, you know, more territory. I just - don't know what you thought about me being full disclosure. I can get back on the network and shout it to the rooftops. I've just never been that guy. Or, had the chance to be. Anyway, uh, yeah. [ He blushes and looks away. ] Yeah.

[ 30% hackable - Erica Reyes

We're overdue for catch up. And I need to tell you something.

[ end hacks

[ And then, he turns the camera back onto the public feed. ]

I know why we were brought here and the name we can't say and all but, am I the only person who thinks this place doesn't suck? Discuss.

[Hayley sighs a little, then sounds mostly disappointed. Those paying close attention can probably tell it masks a level of anger.]

Seriously? Is no one talking about the whole people getting murdered thing?

[It has been a long time since Will has woken up both not tired and craving a hot pocket. There are no hot pockets on the turtle though. There's a lot of confused in his morning. Even the thought that everything he remembers was just a very long dream and he's 20 again in another dream, prehaps that pre-morning dream change you get sometimes. Too elaborate though.

He looks on the network and sees that there is apparently a beginning for this and it's not just him that's affected.]

Is it wrong of me to say that waking up this morning was a refreshing change? Like rainwater hits cracked ground after a dry summer.

Though, my circumstances are less... dramatic than others. [Here's looking at you gender swaps. And one known case of body swap. Anything really is possible here.]
