[The feed opens up to Ruby sitting eagerly on the edge of her bed.]

Okay! So I've been meaning to ask this for a little while. But I'm curious to see what sort of weapons everyone here has. We're all from different worlds, right? So we probably don't all use the same sort of stuff when we get into a fight.

I'll start us off.

[She shifts the camera over to show off a very high tech looking red scythe.]

So this is Crescent Rose. She's my baby, I made her myself back at school. She's a Scythe that can change into a sniper rifle. Perfect for short and long range combat.

[And now her face is right back in front of the camera.]

So come on! Don't be shy! Show me what you got!

[ the weather is . . . insane, at the moment, given the sudden shift in every single quadrant of the temple making it spring, summer, winter, and fall simultaneously. roy has steadily been ignoring it, focused instead on collecting information, and preparing for the inevitable next world jump.

that being said: ]

I hope this place picks one season, soon.

[ tiredly, as he shakes the snow out of his hair. someone has recently been through the snowy abyss that is the winter section of the temple. it looks like, from the background, that roy is in the kitchen area. the fire-brick oven is just behind him. ]

At any rate, we've recently lost a slew of members, and we need to regroup, and calculate who is missing, and who is still here. We had a successful trip, for the most part. [ ilde's meltdown excluded. ] Hopefully our good luck continues. I think we've all come to the agreement by now that this place can turn on a dime.

[ roy pauses, again, before his face settles into something a bit more somber. having been here since the very start, roy is used to this song and dance by now. it's only a matter of time before people are sent home, and he runs a hand through his hair, shaking out the last of the snow. ]

So. Who have we lost? And who is still here? And does anyone have any bets on what is coming next?

[ at the very least, roy is here to listen. ]

[Although she's currently an elf, the one feature of Ikaruga's that's remained completely the same has been her pink hair. When she flips on the network, she's looking rather satisfied with the results of the jobs she's taken.]

Hello, my dear Circle comrades. How are you enjoying your time here? These changes we've all experienced are interesting, are they not?

[She's up for some small talk, although that's not the main reason for her post to the network.]

I've just purchased some quality mead and two pies that I cannot possibly finish myself. Perchance, would anyone care to join me for a drink and some dessert?

Hey. So my name is Dr. Nathaniel Heywood, but most people just call me Nate. I'm a historian, not a medical doctor, so if that's something you need, I probably can't help you much there. But if you ever want some good trivia about different period's in Earth's history, I'm your man.

Anyway. That's not this is about. I have a question. So it seems like our powers from home don't work here, and we have cool new powers instead which you know, is cool and all, but say if some of your abilities back home had neutralized a disease you had struggled with most of your life back home -- would you find yourself suffering from it again here?

Just, you know, asking for a hemophiliac friend of mine.

[that hemophiliac friend is himself.]

Any feedback or theories would be appreciated.

Hello?

It looks like tech, but it's apparently magic. That's a new one, even for me. Although the past few days have been nothing BUT "new ones" so I suppose I should just get used to that. Not the point here, let me get to it.

My name's Carmen. I came in with the festival I guess. I'm currently hanging out at the Fighting Ring and was curious if there was anyone who also wanted to blow off some steam or at least work off some of that food.
If not, I guess I'll be giving these dummies a beat down.

[There's a pause and then quickly adds.]

Oh. Or I guess I could finally try to figure out this ability I was supposedly given. After everything else I've seen and heard that one might be the least strange. Unfortunately, I can't test my ability without some help. If you're interested let me know. It could be interesting for the both of us.

See you around.

[Carmen will reply to repsonses here OR you can just go find her at the fighting ring]

You left me to die.

[ Soft with buried rage and spite. ]

[ On the video feed today, a tired looking young man appears in the lounge. Miyuki has been going through notebook after notebook, and he's been up again trying to determine what the hell he could be doing. He's finally decided on turning on the watch. ]

Good afternoon. This is Miyuki Shirogane-- apologies if I've been a bit quiet lately. I've been spending a lot of time in the lounge attempting to get my bearings. I've... well, never been in space, and I wanted some time just to take it all in, I guess.

[ It was hard to deny that he had been spending an absurd amount of time stargazing. His childlike dreams come first! ]

That being said, I figured... there may be others who may not know what's been going on so well, so I was wondering if we could consolidate our information. I don't know if that's something we'd want to do through the video feed, or meet up somewhere to do so, but I figured I would put the idea on the table. I'm willing to take notes down, if necessary.

[ A pause. ] I figure as well, it may be good to... check on whether or not there's anyone who may be missing. If there's someone out there that hasn't been accounted for in a while.

Thank you for your time.

(( of course, threadjacking encouraged!! let's spread the joy and the info! ))

[ A green-haired, green-irised woman with a distinctly American accent (California), comes on the screen. Some of you may know her from her previous time here. ]

This is a weird re-arrival and I'm not sure how much is just me tripping balls or not, but I'm just gonna go with it. Anyway, hi, name's Lorna Dane -- or Polaris ... whatever -- and I was here before for a hot second, then got yanked away, and now I'm back as of recently?

Cool.

[ A brief pause, then: ]

Anyone got the cliff notes of what I missed, and at least six beers?

[ Jesus, she sounds like Wolverine (Logan, not Laura) a bit there. ]

Thanks.

[ Another half second's beat of silence. ]

Right, and while I don't really have my magnetic powers here, I think I probably ought to find someone who can teach me the physical fighting better than what I already know. Which, uh. Yeah.

[ Back home, she relied mostly on her powers, despite all her years with the X-Men (+ various other one off teams) and that training. ]

[ this is the first time he is making a video post, and honestly he isn't very sure how to go about it. Maybe he should have gone with text... in any case, that's not important right now! because he is already using video.

Rimuru waves at the camera for a second, trying to figure out how to start this ]

Hello, I'm Rimuru! The slime... [ he knows some people only met him as a slime, so it's better to make it clear he can look human too.]

This whole place looks like it came out of a video game. It's kind of creepy... But anyway, I know I just arrived and I'm not experienced in this at all, but I'd like to help in what I can. Is there any sort of planning going on? [ hopefully there is! ] Water should come first, then food... Perhaps defenses next.

Speaking of that - I know how to use a sword, but I don't have any. It might be a long shot, but can anyone make swords? Or does anyone have an extra sword? I have a feeling my slime powers are going to be a bit useless if we find a xenomorph...

Due to Chelseamod's ineptness with Dreamwidth communities, the tag post is now awkwardly floating around amongst your entries.
