[This post takes place early Sunday morning, but it's unintentional. The feed runs for a minute or two with with very few sounds. Shuffling, footsteps on a floor, the occasional deep breath. Then there's a musical note. It rings out in a quiet room and is quickly silenced. After a brief moment, a few more notes start playing until it's a song. It sounds like a music box. Some people in the Port may recognize the song. It's rather familiar.

As the music begins to slow, Jinx's voice finally chimes in, off-key and rough.]

Twinkle, twinkle little star...

How I wonder w-what-- [She chokes. The music fades out. There's some hitched breathing before the feed finally times out.

IC replies won't come until later.]

Hello, Siren's Port. I come before you with a desperate plea.

[Visser One is no fool. First she takes a few hours to scan the networks and sort through enormous amounts of archived data. What she finds is interesting: evidence of Earth mythological figures, inhuman creatures proudly identifying as alien. People obviously from worlds far more advanced than Earth.

Still, she chooses anonymity. No sense in publicly humbling herself and exposing her Achilles Heel.]

I am a new arrival to this world in serious need of help. My species needs a certain kind of sustenance that we can't find outside of our home world.

I need help, or I will die.

I need someone with highly advanced technological capabilities to help me. Fortunately, I have the means to feed myself temporarily, which you can adapt for your purposes in creating a larger generator. Without it, I will starve to death painfully within a week.

Please, I beg you. Compensation will be given in whatever manner I'm capable, once I can concentrate on anything other than survival. I assure you, I am far from helpless, and will pay my debt in full. Anyone who chooses to assure my long-term survival stands to gain much from the bargain.

- There is a small report in the gossip column on a Wedding held at the Cathedral of Jonova yesterday, where the priest conducting the ceremony suddenly doubled over in sneezes and convulsions, vomiting all over the bride’s gown. Tearfully admitting that she deserved to have the day completely ruined, she confessed at the altar to multiple acts of infidelity throughout the engagement. The Groom, equally shamefaced and disgusted by the ruined wedding, also pleaded for love and forgiveness, admitting that he had secretly worked a part-time position at Afterglow XXX to buy the engagement rings. Head Priest Englewood took over the ceremony and wed the couple, after giving passionate on the spot preaching about recommitment.

[To be careful, Ruby is only going to be addressing the network via text. She has no idea who could be here, and who might want her dead. She isn't too keen on the idea of being murdered after being brought back so soon, after all.

She also isn't too fond of the idea of not familiarizing herself with everything new around her.]

So Merry Christmas, Happy Un-birthday, Jolly fucking Resurrection to me. Who knew I'd be coming back from the list of the dearly departed? This should be fun as hell. So how many others are like me, and how long have you been here?

wow, uh, i think i'm really lost!
i don't even really remember how i got here.
this isn't another weird dream bubble, right?
i feel like we've encountered so many of those lately.
not that they're bad, but sometimes they just don't make any sense.
like right now.
i probably should wake up soon though.
i need to make sure jade hasn't eaten poor jaspersprite.

Okay, so, 8esides most of you 8eing a HUGE disappointment, I really figured Earth was going to 8e at least a little more eventful than this.
And then the cool stuff that actually DOES happen, everyone goes running inside!
Clearly no one here really knows how to have fun.
Well, you've all just stum8led upon the 8iggest amount of luck, I can't even explain how jealous I am.
I happen to know a lot of good ways to have fun.
I know what you're thinking, 8ut don't worry, the amount of physical pain involved is totally up to you! And how fast you can run, I guess.
8ut you shouldn't 8e running anyway. That's not how you hunt monters. Duh!
Man, I almost wish there was a me to help myself out with this 8oredom.
I guess I'll just have to stick to helping you all out. I just keep giving and giving and giving!
I'm not even sure you're ready for this much generosity.

[Have a rather ruffled looking red-haired woman.]

Well. This is the most annoying thing that has happened ev- ... In the past week or so.

[She sighs and looks at the camera.]

Anyone want to tell me what happened here? I found this thing and thought I could work some compu-mojo and find out what's going on. But the tech is being all kerflooey and not letting me work it out.

[She shakes her head.]

And It wasn't even my fault this time- maybe this was what the anomaly in New York was...
