[with all the fighting, the chaos, and the numerous opportunities therein, chase has been busy - and thus hasn't had the opportunity to make his opinions on the whole affair known. because, clearly, they are the best opinions, and everyone needs to know them.

he's in his suite, looking no worse for wear despite his involvement in fighting off the gangs in the metal sector those days ago. his attention is half on the video and half on the slim journal he's writing in.

he starts with his eyes on the journal after making sure the feed is on.]


It has been an exciting few weeks, hasn't it. My commendations to the local militia and to the temporarily-deputized - the former for their stellar work keeping the peace, the latter for somehow managing to decimate a more numerous foe while simultaneously keeping us all from drowning.

[or so he assumes would have been the case if the turtle lost a flipper. there's a brief, unpleasant smirk that pulls at the corner of his mouth.]

And now that we've all had the chance to be suitably heroic ... what happens next? We've already been stripped of any rank and paid to someone else's standard. I can only wonder if they think we can be called up at will to defend a land that's decidedly against us.

[he flips his brush around and taps the end of it against the page, like he's thinking, before glancing up at the screen with a condescending raise of an eyebrow.]

Then again, I'm sure plenty of you find it all suitably rewarding already. In a ... moral way.

[spoken like morality is some sort of disease. his disdain is evident as he reaches to cut the feed - but he stops, suddenly, remembering something. and because what is technology, he doesn't know how to bother to filter the rest.]

Ah, yes ... old monk. [by which he means shifu, since he never got the name.] Now that the fun's over, I suggest we actually see which one of us is the better combatant. Fighting side-by-side is only much to go by.

[and then it's off.]

VIDEO;

[ An anonymous post from a console the Console café pings the network. The poster had gone through the laborious task of omitting any indication of what café they were in, or any personal details. Said post is a relatively non-descriptive person of color of some indeterminate middle-aged with a nervous, almost supplicant air to them. His voice is now more than a cagey, but friendly conversational tone. ]

The black walls, high as they are, were as comforting a sight as the police force with their unorthodox, eccentric regulations and the majority of the natives who had something more judgmental than curiosity in the glances they throw our way. And this curfew business that's new.

Enough to make anyone nervous. Some first day, right?

[Jill sits at her console for a few moments before turning it on. After a couple weeks here on the turtle, she's gotten some much needed rest, but not really paid as much attention to the network as she should have. The wounds on her chest are bandaged and the battlesuit off and hidden away where she doesn't have to sees it. So, instead she'd dressed in a dark blue Tangzhuang, the lightly colored collar visible near the bottom of the frame. She's still looking a little on the pale side as she speaks,]

My name is Jill Valentine, I'm with the BSAA--- I'm looking for my partner, Chris Redfield. Or Josh Stone, also BSAA. I... maybe they came with me. [She pauses, considering that that would mean that they too were between life and death. No. That would be worse. Taking another moment, Jill breathes, composes herself and offers,]

I guess I didn't think the afterlife would be so bright and cheerful. Sure is a good way to throw off the bad vibes.

[Video]

[Electronics aren't really B.A.'s thing, but the console isn't too hard to figure out. It seems like the best way to try and contact his team, if they're here. He goes for the video option, since he's not wanted by the military anymore and has no reason to hide his face. It's not a very friendly looking face, though.]

Hannibal, Face, Murdock - if you punks are here and I don't hear from you soon, I'm gonna kick your asses back into the ocean.

[Charming. He should say something to the other people on the network too, shouldn't he.]

Everybody else - I'm B.A.

[A short pause.]

Sergeant B.A. Baracus. Who else is on here?

--oh, shoot. Just how do I work this contraption? I knew I should've asked for specific directions... Is it a phone? Or... something... huh?

[ The feed opens up to one confused looking Avatar with a hand paused mid-scratch at the side of her head. Blink blink. She straightens and attempts to clear her throat a bit, but even doing that does nothing to remove the slightly confused frown on her face. ]

So... Keeliai. [ how does i start conversation to people she isn't even sure she might be speaking to ] It's... a nice looking place, I guess. I have so many questions, but I think I should start off with...

What next? I mean, if anyone's got any helpful suggestions on how to deal with this place, I'd be all for it. Really!

[ Pause. ]

Uh-- oh, right! The name's Korra. It's nice to meet... whoever'll be answering this message. I hope. Ugh.

[ She's making a fool of herself, she knows it. ]

[AUDIO]

I haven't really done one of these.

[A short pause.]

Wasn't going to do one.

[Another short pause.]

Figured it'd be too much like I'd be one bad day away from ending up under a blanket screaming 'leave Britney alone!'.

[A snort of amusement with a bitter edge.]

But that's, I was being stupid. I didn't think a place like this was going to be dangerous,

[A long pause, then he continues in a decidedly fake amused voice.]

You'd think I'd know that already, I've seen The Chronicles of Narnia.

[A laugh that fades into a sigh.]

Anyway, I'm just giving a quick shoutout, Asami, Short-And-Grumpy, Annabeth, Criminally Handsome, Little-Panda-Guy and my fellow rooftop dweller; seriously hoping you guys are okay.

If you - or anyone hearing this - needs anything just say the word.

01 [Audio]

I know they said that this place is somewhere in-between life and death, and it seems that most people remember being alive before they were brought here.

But I was wondering; is there anyone [anyone else] here that... wasn't?

[True, Yue was going to become the Moon Spirit shortly after, but she was brought here before that could happen. So as far as she knows, she's just... well. Dead. But not dead.

... It's all very confusing, really. But mostly, Yue is wondering if there's anyone else here who was in her predicament.

[The image flickers on to Kara casually sitting in her chair, arm draped over one side as she pushes herself back, one booted foot coming to rest on the desk in front of her. A lit cigar is between her fingers – they’re finally dry -, and there’s a set of blacked out shades covering her eyes. ]
 
Guess saying ‘Galactica, come in’ is out of the question, huh? [She snorts, and ashes the cigar before putting it to her lips again to take a long drag.]
 
Peachy. [Brows up behind the glasses, and her mouth pulls into a smirk that’s lacking humor.] Sounds like we’re all going to be one big happy family here, doesn’t it? [She sounds SO pleased.]
 
Name’s Kara, call sign Starbuck.  I go by either, so pick your poison. [Ash flick, and she pulls the sunglasses off and tosses them aside, grinning.]
 
Speaking of ‘poison’ – anybody know where the party’s at, or do I have to start my own?

[Sokka's face is scrunched up and his tongue is just poking out of his mouth as he jabs at a few things and then pulls back with a grin.]

There! It...is set up, right?

I'm not going to just be talking to some...what is this thing called again?

[He squints and gives another jab before shrugging.]

Anyway, I know there's other people around, so hi! Hello! I'm Sokka, just some guy currently hoping that he's doing this ri--[And the video and all sound cut off as Sokka touches something that clearly makes it end recording.]

[Video]

[The computer terminal isn't anything new to Grave, although the specifics take a moment to figure out. After that, though, he's activating the feed and getting right to it.]

Just when you think that you've seen everything technology has to offer, there lands yet another surprise in your lap.

[He doesn't look particularly impressed or surprised, really.]

I've really just got one question at the moment... Was that a cow? Not that I've ever seen a real, breathing cow anywhere around home... I don't think anyone has in the last ten years, actually, but there are pictures in holo-books. Maybe GeneCo should expand from human biology and take up endangered and extinct animal species.

God knows, I could rip right into a natural fucking hamburger that wasn’t made up of bi-products I can’t even pronounce.

I’m not too sure how happy I am to have been dropped into the ocean, [He gives a half shrug.] but it's already a good deal nicer than home. Nice pad, by the way. Still, it seems quite the eclectic group of people hereabouts and with such diversity comes business, and that’s one gift horse I’m not going to look in the mouth. [He smiles and many might think it the smile of a predator and in many ways, it is.] Every market has a sub-market, so they say, and it’ll just take a bit of poking around to find it here.

[His smile slips then, his expression growing serious.]

Hey, Kid, you around?
