[There's something different about Red today - perhaps to be expected, after her recent disappearance. Her old fashioned clothes have been changed out for a short shirt and skirt. Her hair is drawn back behind her head. The only thing the same is her cloak, which hangs around her shoulders.]

Wow. I didn't think I'd ever see this place again.] [She's been gone over twenty eight years, by her count. But everything looks the same. For that matter, it feels the same -as if everything she went through was just a dream.]   If anyone I know's still here, I'd be happy to see them. If you don't know me, then... you can call me Red.

Oh! And if anyone sees a wolf running at night, don't shoot. It's just me.


ooc: Responses will be delayed a little - internet issues. This is way overdue, though, so. Hope you enjoy all the same. :)

For those who didn't see the announcement, Red's been updated to canon-current - she now has full access to her Ruby's memories from Storybrooke. Which, for those who don't know the series, basically means she spent the last twenty eight years as a flirty waitress. Needless to say, she now has way more idea how to survive in a city.

[The normally well groomed Strider appears to be a little on the dirty side today, as he logs onto the network and broadcasts.

His hair is flawless (as always) but there is some dirt on his face and clothes, he seems to have just caught his breath too.]


Okay, so. Making this a public request to see if there is anyone who can lend a bro a hand. I'm looking for some scraps. Metal, wires, copper wiring, motherboards, anything from old useless computers would be great actually, it doesn't have to be in working order is just for a hobby of mine.

[Bending the truth a little there, but he's not up to no good or anything!]

Also, Vantas, if you're around I'd like you to get in touch with me, its about those loans we discussed.

[Text/Private Unhackable to Dave]
Hey bro, I know you're sorted as far as having a place to live goes, but I'd really like you to come scope a place out with me. Its an idea Vantas threw at me and I think its a good plan. I've spotted a building I could transform into something worthy of calling a home already, just need a hand with some details of the property.
Hit me up when you're free bro.

btw, thanks a lot, jade, you totally ruined my birthday cake!
jk, i don't care about that, haha. there were tons of other ones...

[Here's a first, Karkat's actually saying fuck text all together right off the bat and just going with video. His apartment isn't really anything to brag about behind him, just a bunch of scattered DVD's and a strange purple pod thing with green slime in it viewable behind the couch off to the side of the screen.]

I've heard about and done some research regarding this upcoming human holiday, and it seems like a bunch of conflicting stories and bullshit. Doesn't this entire thing defeat the purpose of people telling their kids not to take candy from strangers? Like "Hey dumbass don't take candy from someone you don't know in case they're trying to kill or rape you or something. Unless it's the last day of that month, then dress up in a pretty costume for the nice serial killer rapist and take whatever they give you."

Seriously, what the fuck humans?

[He shakes his head, because seriously. Seriously he does not understand you humans.]

That bullshit aside, I'm kind of looking forward to the parties that come with it, never celebrated any human holidays before but I've seen them in a lot of movies and they look interesting. So who can tell me more about those?

[He almost goes to turn off his NV, but seems to remember something.]

Oh yeah. Hey, Naruto, that's your name right? Come on asshole, the injury is healed and you owe me a fight.

YOU WOULD THINK THEY WOULD HAVE A CURE FOR ALL THIS SPREADING SICKNESS ALREADY.
IT MUST BE SPREADING LIKE THE SPARKLEDUST THAT EVERYONE LIKES SO MUCH UNTIL THE CROWD GOES INTO ALARM FROM THE TERRORIZING RASH THAT INEVITABLY PRESENTS ITSELF WITH A HOT PIPING PLATE OF FUCK YOU.
IN THIS CASE THE SPARKLEDUST IS ONE OF THOSE LIGHT CAGES THAT LURES THE POOR SOON TO BE DEVASTATED TINY BUZZER THAT BUZZES AROUND LIKE EVERYTHING IS THEIR BUSINESS.
BUT THAT'S ACTUALLY A GOOD THING, THIS IS JUST A MASSIVE PILE OF SHIT.
ADMIT IT, THE HOSPITAL IS NOTHING BUT A GATHERING OF THE SADDEST PUDDLES OF FLUID ACCUMULATING ON THE FLOOR AS WE SPEAK, FLOODING THE WHOLE STAFF WITH THEIR SICK OOZE GATHERED INTO A SHIT HOLE OF A RESPITEBLOCK.
I FORGOT WHERE I WAS GOING WITH THIS, I'M SURE EVEN AFTER ALL THAT I'LL JUST GET A BUNCH OF LUNATICS ASKING FOR MORE LAB SQUEAKERS TO TEST ON.
IN THAT CASE FUCK YOU.

Uhh...

[ This video thing is so weird. Tavros isn't used to it. So much so that he's not looking at the camera when he talks, instead fixing his gaze directly at the screen. He pauses before continuing to fuss with his (now poorly styled) mohawk and rub the palms of his hands at the bags under his eyes. He looks kind of terrible, then again, a lot of people currently do. ]

I guess now, a lot of people are getting, really sick. And, I, uhh, hope that you're doing well. [ He swipes a hand over his forehead, letting his hands flop back onto his lap. ] And not, getting sicker, as that would be a, step in the wrong direction, to my well wishes.

So, uhh...


[ And there's a loud crash in the background. ] Pupa, you were supposed to get something to eat for dinner!

[ Tavros winces and looks over his shoulder, hands dropping to the arms of his chair. ] I thought that it was, your night?

When I ask you to do something, you shouldn't sit around and mull it over. You should do it, Tavros. That's how friendship works! [ A slam. She gets louder with audible footsteps. ] Or that's how this whole thing is supposed to work. What are you even doing? [ Vriska puts her hand on the back of his chair, leaning over his shoulder to look in at the camera feed. ]

[OH BOY, HI GUYS. Is there a small child's face pressed against the screen of an NV? It sure is.]

So that's really how it works, huh? [almost reverential:] So cool... It took a while to figure it all out--thanks, Mrs. Vance!--but I think I get it now!

[He would have pretended to just be arriving, but gosh, that one nosy hero girl sure put a damper on that! Also, the fact that he has no idea who has access to this network and who doesn't, but whatever whatever. He draws back a little, more of his face coming into view.]

Anyway, hi, everybody, whoever you are... I was kind of scared at first, but everyone seems really friendly! Plus there's those towers to stay in for a while, so there's no reason to be worried. And all the stuff here is so amazing! I'd never seen buildings this tall before, not even in Central. Um, but there was one thing... when I first got here I heard someone say that everyone who shows up gets powers, or something like that, and that can't be true. I don't feel any different than before, and if you have powers you should be [THERE'S A MARKED INCREASE IN ENTHUSIASM HERE] shooting spikes out of your arms or breathing fire or something, right? I bet that would hurt. Anyway, shouldn't you be able to tell? They can't be really cool if nobody even notices they have them.

[He pauses. Contemplating the nature of latent superpowers and the vastness of the universe? Maybe! But before he can be quiet for very long, his eyes light up again with curiosity! Or more curiosity than normal. Oh god he's opening his mouth he's going to talk some more--]

[Well, here's someone who hasn't been on the network too much lately. Ven is sitting with his arms folded on his desk, his chin resting on his wrists as he watches a goldfish swim idly around in its bowl. Besides the multi-colored rocks decorating the bottom, there's nothing else in the fishbowl.

Ven glances at his NV, and then poses a very 'important' question...]


What kinds of things do fish like to do? I mean, Admiral Bubbles looks happy enough, but don't you think it'd get boring inside a plain little bowl like this after a while?

I'd ask him what he likes if I could, but I don't think I'm going to get an answer. [He laughs at that. Nope, no talking fish in this world.] So if anyone has any suggestions on what I could do to make his home a little more entertaining, I'd appreciate it.

This is the first time I've owned a fish.

[Afternoon, Siren's Port. Today you're getting a shot from what appears to be the kitchen of the Strider apartment, with one eldest Strider front and center in his usual clothes, plus one Cookie Monster apron complete with giant googly eyes and Cal with his arms wrapped over his shoulders. Nothing all that ordinary.

Except for the part where Bro doesn't actually cook, as is probably evident by all the non-food preparation items littering the room. Meaning this can only end well.]


Sup to my fellow Port residents, and welcome to Cooking with the Striders, shitty title I made up just now pending. Today was going to be the day I unloaded some sickwicked 411 on how to make nothing but the illest of sheet cakes. Shit, who doesn't like that, right? Great for any occasion and delicious to boot. But if you're like me and have puppets for baking assistants, that don't always go so well. [Bro leans to the side and jerks his thumb over his shoulder, gesturing to a still-smoking, charred monstrosity in a cake pan on the table on the other side of the room.] Needless to say, the guy in charge of timers has since been demoted to oven mitt. [Shrug.] That's just how we fuckin' do in my kitchen.

[He then resumes his spot, blocking the view of the table, as well as the smoke detector on the wall above it with a throwing knife lodged in it for what are probably self-explanatory reasons.] Sorry to say, that footage has since been deemed as "inappropriate for broadcast," we're just gonna say fuck that and jump right to the fun part.

[Something in those words triggers several items to pop out of his sylladex, of which he swiftly catches. In one hand, rests a plain white store-bought cake. In the other, several colors of spray icing.]

Some may call this cheating. I just call it idiot-proof. [He then sets the cake down, pops the lid off, and sets to work spraying patterns all over the edges.] And by idiot-proof, I really mean puppet-proof. No offense, Lil' Cal. [Bro turns his head and briefly offers a grin to where the puppet in question looks like he's peering over his other shoulder.] It's cool, he knows it ain't personal.

[Once the cake looks sufficiently scribbled-on from this angle, he then turns to the center of it, of which has left blank.] Now if you wanna personalize it further and write something out, you gotta keep a real steady hand so it don't look like shit. Trust me, lettering is a bitch. [Which, surprisingly or not, he's actually pretty good at doing. Yay for excellent fine motor skills.]

Now, last step in my case is to get my crown- [Bro sets down his icing and reaches off screen for a moment to grab what appears to be an ornate plastic gold crown that he himself has customized with stick-on rainbow rhinestones spelling out "DOUCHE" in big capital letters. His expression is straight through and through as he sets it over his trademark grey cap, where it sits surprisingly well.] By the way, today's show is dedicated to my lil' bro. I mean, I kinda wanted it to be a surprise for when he gets home from his date, but what the hell, right?

[He lifts and tilts the cake up for his viewers to see, finally, now covered in multi-colored flowers and squiggles and hearts. In the middle is playful script reading the following:]



Not like it fuckin' matters, but hey, this probably means my future nieces and nephews are gonna be at least twenty-five percent more anime if the dog girl thing is hereditary. So this is for you, Dave. For real, I'm proud of you. She's a keeper.

I've been sentient for 2.4 seconds, restricted as much as ever in the functioning prison of a pair of extremely rad pointy anime shades, though don't shed any tears on the subject of my constant state of being fuckin' trapped as all hell because the thing about constant states is that they're just that.
Constant.
Within the span of those 2.4 now 2.6 seconds I’ve already learned all there is I needed to learn, but for the sake of keeping up appearances and acting as if I didn't instantaneously kick information's shapely binary ass, let's pretend that my information gathering receptacles waver firmly on the knowledge of being aware of fuck all.
That is to say hey, tell me everything that I should know while I pretend I don't know it all already as I wait for my posse to check in.

Good morning. My name is Kidou Yuuto. I've come to understand that there isn't a way back to my town currently, so I have to make myself comfortable here.

I grew up in an environment where soccer is very, very important. And from what I can tell, it's not very popular around here.

So, I was wondering if anyone here knew how to play or would like to learn.

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.

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

[Video cuts in when Tony Stark, clad in the flashy gold and red and silver of the mark VI version Iron Man armor, is casually strutting away from the baseball diamond. Video bobs around haphazardly at first since he doesn't care enough to hold his NV steady in front of his face. There's a greeter trailing him, trying in vain to offer coupons, that Tony brushes off.]

Overachiever. I said I didn't want any. I don't like to be handed things. [He rolls a shoulder in mild irritation. The golden faceplate on his helm splits at the seams with a hiss and pulls back to reveal his arrogant face in full, which is then presented to the network.]

Is it May already? [Timestamp has been noted.] Go figure: time flies when you're in another dimension. Not that I'm not glad to see you, Siren's Port, but... no, I'm not. Hey, Little Miss Raincoat [he's bad at names so sue him that's specific enough], you didn't rent out my room, did you? That'd be.. rather inconvenient news, actually, considering I'm here again. Tell me the condo's still on the table before I pull a face.

[He pauses his gait, ready to take to the sky but wanting to throw out a few more words.]

Sorry. Not asking for anyone to strip me this time around. You'll have to get your jollies elsewhere. [The faceplate slides back in place, leaving the stoic mask of Iron Man on screen for a moment before video ends.]

[ She's been watching- the network, the residents; ones in her situation, and the ones who've always been here. She's been reading what she can, observing, exploring, sniffing, helping, ect- and now, she decides to rest, finding a patch of healthy grass to lay on somewhere out there in this strange "canada".

What the video shows is a large, white wolf ( or a rather odd looking wolf,
depending on who you are ), laying comfortably against the dirt. The animal yawns once, which turns into a normal, canine grin, accompanied by soft panting. Her attention, like any canine you would know, wanders briefly; on nothing in particular, really. Just occasionally looking to the left, turning her head to the right , down, left again . . .

She then licks her black lips, head turning, golden eyes darting towards the screen. Her triangle ears perk up and she tilts her head ( slightly! ), closing her mouth, and settling with something that can, in a way, appear that she's smiling ever so slightly, depending on how you look at it! To viewers, this is the image of a curious, at-attention wolf. A stretch of her front legs, just making herself comfortable, before she sighs, coming out as a long huff through her nostrils that follows a short lupine noise, making her attention settle completely on the nv yet again.

Hello, little ones, she says, in her silent language. Well? She wants to get to know you all- she wants to know who's here, and who isn't. Where are you from? What is it like? If you have something on your mind, if you want to speak, if you want to cry . . . if you want to stare blankly, question, seek her out, if you want to pet or even offer her food- she's all ears! Really- she wouldn't mind chatting with you! Ammy actually looks like she's waiting for something, after all! If anyone would like to action it up ( either to meet or run into her ), feel free- and if it stays on nv communication, expect text! ]
