[Since his arrival, Gus has mostly been getting settled in: talking to the greeters, walking around the city, very literally getting the lay of the land. Now, he thinks, it's time to make his presence known.

The video turns on to show a slim, dark-skinned man standing in the exact center of the screen, wearing a dark plaid suit with a black shirt, a striped tie, and thin wire-rimmed glasses. He carefully adjusts his cuffs, and then the tie, and then the frames, and flashes the camera a smile. When he ultimately speaks, his voice is warmed by a hint of a Chilean accent.]

Good morning, everyone. My name is Gustavo Fring, although I'm going to insist that most of you call me Gus. I'm very grateful for the warm reception I've already received. If the greeters also receive messages over this network, really: thank you. You're providing a wonderful service to the city.

But most primarily, my reason for contacting you all today is this: where I come from, I used to run a chain of fried chicken restaurants -- Los Pollos Hermanos -- and I'm interested in relaunching the franchise here. I have one investor lined up, and I'm welcoming others, as well as looking for information on, well... [He chuckles sheepishly.] Just about everything, really. The greeters did an excellent job, but there's still a lot I need to be brought up to speed on. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

And, of course, I hope to see you all on opening day.

( Privately, to Walter White )

((OOC nota bene: Gus has been chatting amiably with greeters for the past couple of days along with doing the basic Setting Up House kind of stuff. He's mostly just been asking about local business, SERO and AGI, and a lot of questions about powers and the Core. If you want to arrange something specific or handwave some stuff OOCly, get in touch!))

C-can anybody hear me? My name is Emily.

[ A little girl is weeping. ]

Everyone's dead. Mother and father. My big sister. Everyone.

[ She is a doll come to life. Somehow she has acquired Xerxes Break's NV. ~~Because Pandora Hearts is a canon where Important Things get jacked by little girls~~. ]

Kevin, where are yoooooooou? Has anyone seen him? I told him, please don't go. I said don't leave me!

[ She sobs freely, inconsolable. ]

Help me! I'M ALL ALOOOOOONE!

[ Looooooming behind her is something enormous; only a small part of it is visible on camera. It's metallic, like armor, and red. ]

[Castiel, for those that were a part of the raid on the hunting grounds, seems no worse for the wear after having been shot several times. He also has been acting somewhat innocent, arguing with some people on the network about the morality of prosecuting those involved, but not admitting his own involvement even if he's pretty sure it will come out.

Some of the discussions have prompted his curiosity though, and so he addresses the network in the calm, interested tone of someone who's seen this all before, which ties into his question.]

How many here have witnessed an uprising in their world, or a revolution? How many have been a part of one?

If you are willing to share your stories, what happened?

For those of you who knew my nephew Zuko, he disappeared this morning. It was as if he vanished, not a trace of him anywhere.

[He had made an effort of looking]

I think that it will probably be for the best, he has much work to do back home.

[It is a bittersweet parting. He was glad to have family here, but he would rather Zuko be off fufilling his destiny]

summing_it_up

[Hiccup is busy. It's not often one gets to see him so engrossed in doing things. He appears to be threading something together, maybe even reinforcing the edge of the saddle that usually stays on the dragon's back. As a few more stitches are made, he stops, checking over his work.

It's not long before the Viking boy will find himself with company. A large black shape slinks in behind him, large green eyes glancing over at the NV-rock before the dragon peers over at Hiccup.

The boy doesn't appear to notice, muttering to himself as he goes back to sewing.

Toothless peers over his arm for a few seconds, then pulls back. It's not long before he does so again, this time having come around the other side.

Without looking up, Hiccup wrinkles his nose.]

Toothless– hey. What are you–

[Green eyes glance to one side, then the other.]

–I'm sorta in the middle of finishing this–

[Big green eyes stare at him a moment before Toothless pulls his head back again. Maybe he's leaving Hiccup alone to finish up?

Seconds pass as Hiccup blinks, checking either side once more. Although slightly puzzled, he eases himself back into his sewing.]

...Okay. Good boy.

[It's several minutes before the dragon reappears. This time he settles his chin over Hiccup's head. From here he watches a while, and it becomes apparent just how comfortable he's gotten as he yawns and closes his eyes.

And as Hiccup finds himself hunched under the weight of the dragon's head, he sighs. This makes sewing impossible.]

Really?

bratziska

[The screen flickers on to small blue-haired girl skulking around the baseball diamond, trying to stay out of sight of anyone who might disturb her. There's a riding crop between her hands, bent so hard it might actually snap. While otherwise she could actually be considered a cute little girl, she looks absolutely livid.]

I have had enough of this preposterous nonsense! If anyone has any information - real information, mind - then I will gladly hear it! [As gladly as someone hissing like an angry cat can, anyway.

Somebody off screen seems to look at the girl the wrong way, and she seethes even more, if that's possible.]

How dare you - ?

This is no way to treat a disciple of von Karma!

benditlikekorra

[Unlike her last post, Korra seems much more upbeat this time. Naga's large snout can still be seen hovering behind her. She gives the viewers a jaunty little wave.]

Hey there. [Naga also barks to say 'hello.'] Thanks to everyone who helped me out the other day; I really appreciate it. I had some questions about the island, and I figured it'd be easiest to ask if anyone who's been here longer than me knows.

Since I'm the only Water Tribe person here I don't expect there would be any places that sold water tribe food. Are there any markets that sell fruit like ocean kumquats or sea prunes? Or any seal meat? If not, are there any seals that live around the island, and would it be okay to hunt them? I guess it'd be kind of a long shot to find any restaurants that carry seaweed noodles, so is the seaweed in this world edible? The noodles aren't hard to make if you have the right seaweed.

[She scratches her cheek and looks pensive for a moment.]

Also, are there any doctors or healers who know how to deal with... hmm... delicate brain problems? [Korra seems a little unsure, and gestures to the crown of her head.] Someone who knows about chi and chakras and things. I've been told that the doctors here are really good, so I figured I'd ask.
