[The NV feed clicks on and Loki, looking a little worse for wear around the edges, is peering down into it, a bit wary.]

Leah? Daimon? ... if this is about those shirtless jokes- [A frown as he looks about] Oh. Oh! [Then his expression brightens.]

Well met and glad tidings, Siren's Port! It has been a while- [He pauses] For me, at least. For here...it seems less than a day has passed, but that only means I have interesting things to share and the lot of you do not. How much power this place yields to obfuscate the memories of it from even an one such as myself, and all the way back in my own world, no less!

Disconcerting.

Ah well! I shall welcome the break and consider this a much needed vacation. After all, I have saved Midgard no less than three times since I returned. Only 997 more times to go before we are even.

Ah- if you meet a verbose magpie, converse with him at your own peril lest he talk you into swallowing your own tongue.

[Starting at 1000, Magneto starts sending texts. He's had his NV back for two days now, and it's taken him some time to catch up simply on what is addressed to him, he hasn't read the general network yet. All the texts are encrypted and unhackable.]

kuritsun

[ the reclusive genius girl makes an appearance! Well, maybe not that exciting. But Kurisu is indeed appearing on video today, sitting at a desk while facing the NV and wearing a rather formal expression. It seems like she's composed herself a bit more since her arrival, regardless of the fact that nobody had actually seen her then. She nods towards the screen before speaking in an even and businesslike voice. ]

Good afternoon. It seems like all the other "newcomers" use this as their primary means of communication, so I thought it was time that I introduced myself. My name is Kurisu Makise. I'm eighteen years old, originally from Arizona in the United States, and I was working on my masters in neuroscience at Victor Condoria's brain research lab. It's a pleasure -- ... Well, considering the circumstances, it isn't really, but I hope that we can at least work together.

[ she runs a hand through her reddish hair. ]

I wanted to ask if anyone knew more about the company that's guarding the Core. I've done some research on them, and they seem sort of -- [ a loud bang from the window interrupts Kurisu as she jumps about a foot in her seat with a decidedly unprofessional squeak, turning quickly to look at the window behind her... and seeing several orange somethings flying by. The chair scrapes against the floor as she pushes out of it to go look out the window herself... and she's clearly visible jerking back from the window in surprise, sounding absolutely dumbfounded. ]

-- Fish?!

[The call begins with a woman giving a running commentary without context. When she speaks, her words are tinged with an accent that most could only identify as vaguely Eastern European but a few might recognize as Romani by way of Transia.]

Ah! What the—?! Oh, ick.... I guess that means it’s ... on? Sooo, how do you change to video from— Oh!

[The video function activates and displays the obviously surprised face of a young woman in a red hooded cloak. Her shocked expression quickly turns to one of triumph.]

Hold on. [She holds up a hand, gesturing for the viewer to have patience.] Give me a moment.

[The video displays blurry flashes of a wall, a bedspread, something red, a ceiling, and a wall again. Finally it settles once more on the woman, who has evidently decided to push back the hood of her cloak, revealing dark brown hair and a red tiara. Now that the video feed is stationary, it clearly shows her sitting cross-legged at the head of a bed in what appears to be a starter apartment.]

Hello! [She smiles sweetly and gives the camera a little wave of her fingers.] I’m new here, but you’ve probably already figured that out. [She makes a self-deprecating face.]

I’ve read through the welcome packages. So, I think I have a pretty good grasp of what’s going on. And, to be honest, this sort of thing [she gestures vaguely] has pretty much been my life recently. [The woman shrugs and offers a cryptic smile but provides no further explanation.]

Anyway, no need to go into all of that. But I could still use your help! [She perks up as the subject changes.] Unfortunately, I’m currently stuck wearing my Avengers costume, which is not appropriate for everyday wear. [The woman glances down at herself in mock dismay.] And, it’s definitely not warm enough for the weather at the moment! [As if to highlight her point, she uses one hand to draw the two sides of her cloak together and hunches slightly inward.]

Can anyone tell me the best place to get some clothes, hopefully from a charity or on credit of some kind? I don’t have any money at the moment. [She looks very apologetic.] But I’d pay for them as soon as I could! I truly appreciate any help, and I promise to repay the favor.

[The smiling woman gives a small nod in confirmation before moving out of frame. The video shows the ceiling for a few seconds before her face suddenly reappears.]

Oh, right, where are my manners? You don’t even know my name! It’s Wanda Maximoff. Thank you!

[And she’s gone … again. However, her voice can be heard off screen.]

Okay. You can hang up now, Tallus.

[The call ends.]

thelittlestbub

[She's got make up on and is hiding the illness still wracking her. She's managing not to hack up a lung because this is important and you never show weakness. Ever.

She's also in her uniform. Not her normal flat black, though. This one is different. There's a deep red under her arms that goes downward. No one can see the bottom, where the racing stripes down her legs fade from silver to blue, to Magneto's purple. It's directed at someone, because she knows he'll get it. To hell with the rest of you plebeians.]

Good morning. In certain sectors of the Newcomer community this morning, I have no doubt that there are a lot of questions.

I am neither condoning, condemning, nor confirming actions, at this time.

However. I am asking that all who are leaving the House of Awesome do so by noon today.

All belongings left behind will be stored and returned to their rightful owners, at mutually agreed upon times and places.

Temporarily, I am stating that this building will no longer be accepting Newcomers. Until now, we've had an open policy, but as of noon, that policy is on indefinite hold. I am sorry for anyone that this inconveniences.

[No, she's not, but it's politic to say so.]

Of course, anyone that remains here will have leave to come and go as they need. All visitors will be cleared by myself and myself alone.

I am available if anyone has any questions.

[Feed cuts to private filters:]

[HoA, but ONLY those that are staying, and she can pretty much guess who they are, Magneto Filters]

Anyone else who wishes to leave is welcome to. I'm sorry to see you go.

[That's at least honest.]

[Locked to Deadpool, Spidey, and Loki only.]

Deadpool, Loki, Spidey, this house is hereby on lockdown. Until further notice and yes I'm in charge.

[See her? She's the mercenary child soldier trained by Wolverine, Cyclops, Emma Frost and Charles Xavier. Welcome to her world.]

[Private/unhackable to Kenzo Tenma]

[Finally, she drops the facade and just looks tired.]

... I could use a friend tonight, if you've got time to spare. Please?

blackmoonrising

[About half an hour before this feed goes live, the more spiritually sensitive inhabitants may have felt the arrival of a very, very potent source of spiritual energy interrupting their senses. Sorry about that, he can't help it.

The NV feed being broadcast is video, it’s after dark and someone seems to have accidentally pressed the video function while trying to get to grips with their newly acquired piece of tech. And now he’s picking a fight with it.]

Send- damn it what the hell kind of piece of crap are you?! Don’t give me that ‘number is not in service’ bullshit I know that damn number’s right!

[There’s a beep and apparently this is enough to make the orange haired boy on the other end of the line growl in frustration.]

What the hell kind of phone are you supposed to be you piece of junk!

[It looks suspiciously like the NV is about to be hurtled at the nearest wall, and now viewers can very plainly see an annoyed teenage face scowling at the screen as it is held at arm’s length, before he seems to notice that the red light next to the camera is on and…]

Crap is this thing on? Hello? Anyone there?

[And then he sighs, moving the NV back down to a more user friendly distance and glowering at the camera.]

Okay, if anyone’s paying attention then I need to know how the hell to get to the asshole who thought dragging me here was a good idea. Or you can point me in the direction of someone who can help.

And, uh, anyone know what the international code to dial Japan is? I need to call home and let 'em know I'm gonna be late for dinner.

[There’s a pause… and then he seems to be mulling something over. What he is considering is whether or not to explicitly call out the familiar sources of reiatsu he can feel in this strange new city he’s found himself in, thus a) exposing his Shinigami allies where they may not want to be exposed or b) making him sound like a crazy person if they’re not here and he’s just imagining it all through displacement induced wishful thinking. He opts for a happy medium, scowl still etched on his face.]

Oi. I can feel that you’re here, y’ know. Anyone feel like saying hi or am I on my own out here?

[But that scowl's still not gone. He really looks like he's weighing up his options here, and then, with a rub of his neck and a sigh (because he knows in advance he's going to regret asking this but he doesn't have a choice), he adds this little beauty to the end of his transmission. Desperate times call for desperate measures.]

And I'm kinda missing a corpse. I had it before I got here and now it's gone. Anybody seen one?

axetrid

_{[When the feed comes on it's unstable for a moment before the NV is set down, finally stabilized to show a pair of bright blue eyes and beautiful golden hair. The scowl on her face however, is anything but pleasant. Meet Astrid, a beautiful, deadly and now extremely irritated Viking.]}

One would think Loki had a hand in all of...this _{[She gestures with her hands to everything in front of her and around her with an exasperated huff.]} considering he's the trickster god and all, but really? Just what in Odin's name is going on?! Some guy snuck up on me from behind while I was just standing around and then had the nerve to get angry at me when I knocked him down with my axe. How was I supposed to know that he was trying to help? You shouldn't sneak up on a Viking if you don't want to get whacked.

_{[Her anger soon begins to shift into anxiousness as she stands, gaze shifting to and fro.]}

Nothing makes sense - even the signs are meaningless to me, all written in some strange language I can't make any sense of. _{[English is strange looking, okay!]} If people can understand me, then why can't I read the signs? Where are all the dragons? Are there even dragons? And what's with the weird tall buildings? Are they homes or temples or what?

I just...I don't know.

harriedosborn

So.

[ He's speaking a little slowly, the bitterness properly enunciated in the slight tipsy slur to his voice. ]

… You know. I wasn't going to think anything of it, I have way better things to be working on and thinking about, but the more I think about it the more it's really burning me up. I mean, I really wasn't going to think anything of it but then--

[ He clicks his tongue and pauses to take another sip of whatever he's drinking. ]

I think that's really great. Really. My dad never remembered my birthday and he always blamed it on the leap year, but -- but my birthday's the twenty-eighth, that's just bullshit, right? I -- I, um -- it's so stupid, I don't even know if they remember either because I'm pretty sure I'm supposed to be dead--

[ There's a clink as something breaks, and apparently spills as well. ]

Oopsie. What was I saying? Oh -- no, the worst part is I forgot about my birthday too! [ He laughs a little, quiet and forced and slightly whimpery. ] Usually Liz says it to me in the morning, but…

'm not sure what I'm trying to say actually. I'm just giving myself a headache.
