[A handsome man with no shirt and rather large white feathered angel wings appears on the screen. He flashes a matinee idol smile.]

Hello everyone.

I haven't been on the network much. I've been... not well... [He flashes his smile again, as if to distract from the words.] But, I want to learn more about this place and this... network.

So Siren's Port! My name is Warren. I'm a bit of a newcomer still, just looking to meet people and break some monotony, you know?

Please, introduce yourself. I'd like to meet you.

[Video ends.]

[The NV switched on, showing Dirk's view, instead of showing the Strider himself. The view was that of the floor, a hand splayed upon it looking bruised with dry blood and old cuts and scrapes on it.]

So it seems I owe a few people an explanation. Well that's fine, I'll get right onto that shall I? Only, how about I first make something clear.. You can't keep a Strider down, you can try and you can fail, down is something we just don't take well to. That is all.

Alright, next on the list of things to do, I need to tally up my Bro's, make sure everyone is accounted for and in good health, a little filling in would be great here too guys, I'm like an empty sandwich right now, just two sweet buns of wholesome plain white, itching for something between.

[Private to Dave]

Dave. I've been missing in action for lord knows how long now, I'm sorry about that. I can't go into the details right now, but it seems my interest and rad skills with robotics had me on some AGI top ten wanted list... I'll be more careful next time.

If I had you worried, I apologize, if not? Than I'm glad you had faith in me bro.

[Private to Karkat]

Words can not excuse me on this one. I fucked up and I've paid- am paying for that now, threefold. It would be cool to see you if you're not cursing my name seven ways 'till Sunday for up and pulling a Houdini on your ass.

(ooc: Just using random icon insets till I update my account! o7))

[There's the sound of wind blowing, and the faint howls of darkness creatures in the distance, but Sasuke is tucked into a corner on a rooftop--sheltered for the time being. In a moment, he'll get back to patrolling as the masked Kirin, but for now, something has been bothering him for close to a week. So he takes a breath and addresses the network in a low murmur.

Maybe they can give him some answers.]

What does "family" mean to you?

[The NV shifts on to show a large furry creature kneeling down in front of it, trying to make sure it turned on properly.]

No. Fucking. Way. Egbert, if you don't take that back I'm kicking you out of my room and you can go watch your shitty movies by yourself. I'll put up with a lot of your retarded bullshit because I'm sure you've been hit on your head enough to cause substantial brain damage but not even a sledge hammer to the face can excuse you for being that delusional.

[The voice comes from behind him, and as Z is sure the NV is recording properly he grins and moves out of the way. The view is of a somewhat clean bedroom, the only mess being the pile of movies that the two teenage boys are sitting next to. John's back is to the NV and it appears Karkat's too busy looking personally offended and glaring to notice what Z is up to.]

What! Nicolas Cage is better than Will Smith, I am just being honest here. I'm sure you trolls would think so if you'd ever actually heard of him before you met us humans.

No. No a thousand fucking times over. From what I've seen by comparing human Will Smith to Troll Will Smith I'm pretty damned sure that human Nic Cage is just as god awful as Troll Nic Cage and he doesn't have shit on the beautiful art that is everything Will Smith touches.
( Cut for length )
[Karkat scoffs and pauses, the light from the NV catching his eye as he finally realizes it's on.]

Z, what the hell-No, you know what? This is perfect. Hey assholes, any of you that know anything about movies or good cinema who do you think is better - Will Smith or Nicholas Cage? We'll put this shit up to a vote and see who's right.

[John pauses to turn around to see what Karkat's talking about and just grins and gives a wave when he sees it's recording.]

Nic Cage FTW!

[And just before the video cuts out, Karkat smacks him in the arm for trying to sway people's votes.]

[See Deadpool sitting beside a fire in an old looking room, with a fancy chair. There is some classical music playing, some few may recognize it from Masterpiece theatre He sits with a pipe in hand, his mask lifted enough to draw a bit of smoke from it, and puff it out.]

Friends, today I ask a simple question. Before I do, I would advise all those under the age of seventeen to turn off your NVs, or otherwise disregard this information.

[Gaara stares into the comm for a long moment. He's silent, seeming to think about what he wants to say.]

...Who is hiring?

[Perhaps not the best start for an interview. But he's never done this before. In fact, this is the first time he's really even tried to dip his toe into the community.]

I... do not have much experience with. People. [More experience with them being scared of him.] I want to change that. To be a part of this community.

To protect it, if I can. As much as I can in this place.

Ah, quick question. What do people eat on a regular basis?

[Normally this would be an easy question to answer, but....she's so confused.]

I mean, I imagine you can't eat the same thing every day, but how do you keep it diverse too? Do you have to go shopping every few days? And cooking, do you have to do it three times a day too?

Honestly I have no idea how you get anything done if you're cooking or eating all the time.

[HELP HER.]

[Its only 19:10 two hours after evening sirens, but already Dirk was needing to take a rest and find shelter to catch his breath and take stock of his actions.

His NV showed him for a brief moment as he cleaned the gore from the shades, before panning around the street, left then right. The sound of beasts and other horrific monsters could be heard in the near distance and the mutilated bodies (or what was left of them) were scattered at Dirk's feet.]

Like looking for a needle in a hay stack my ass...

[Spitting onto the red tainted blade of his Katana before cleaning it off on a rag he pulled from his pocket.]

I'm looking for one needle, not a fucking crack house full of them.

[Dirk sighed and slipped his NV-shades back over his eyes once both it and his sword were clean. He'd been looking for a certain kind of monster, but managed to stumble onto every other kind and its mother.]

Has to be out here somewhere. Lets try this again.

[This was where the feed cut off.]

empathetics

[The video feed flicks on, revealing a somewhat tense looking young man. He's blonde, with snowy pale skin and purplish shadows under his dark eyes. If you're a possessor of heightened eyesight, you may notice that his neck and jawline is heavily ravaged by crescent shaped scars, disappearing into the v of his shirt.

He's sitting in what appears to be some sort of holding cell.]

My name is Jasper Hale. [His voice is clipped, with the barest hint of a Southern accent to it.] And firstly... I'd like to apologize if I had harmed anyone at my arrival. I acted on instinct, and that clearly wasn't the correct choice.

[His tone is wry, perhaps even bitter. He's silent for a few moments.]

I hear vampires aren't quite a secret around here, and I just can't help but wonder how well that's working out for everyone.

((ooc: Okay. So at Jasper's initial arrival he was a bit of a sour grape and tried to attack some people. Long story short he got voided and is currently chilling in jail.))

I am interested in boxing lessons. Preferably in the evening. Any information is welcome.

[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.

[ Two days. It has been two days of Jesse waiting. Waiting for a certain someone to come to the apartment. The last time he seen him he was in an cold Sunday night, when both of them went to bed. The morning after, Bruce was gone and assuming that he went to work on something, Jesse's been waiting for his return ever since.

At first, he remembers an earlier talk and maybe figured that he got caught up and it was after Dark, so he decided to stay in someone's place. But as the nighttime hours have grown longer and the daylight hours shorter, Jesse cannot wait idly anymore. Two days are long enough to wait.

He's not interested in showing his face today, for he has started to get the smallest of suspicions of what really happened to Bruce. But Jesse wants to know for sure.]

Where's Bruce Banner.

[ The question is made a statement out of Jesse's slowly growing anger and worry, but it will be hard to tell, as a child who is not known to show any emotions at all.

If anything, he sounds cold, and the lights in his room are starting to flicker, unseen by the network. ]

[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.

phazeandblood

WHOEVER THE FUCK IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS BULLSHIT BETTER PRAY I NEVER GET MY HANDS ON THEM.
THIS IS NOT FUCKING FUNNY.
THIS IS LESS FUNNY THAN THAT CANDY CORN BULLSHIT STUNT GOD DAMMIT.
I JUST KEEP GETTING REMINDED OVER AND OVER WHY THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE SEEMS TO BE HELLBENT ON MAKING MY LIFE AS MISERABLE AS POSSIBLE IN WHATEVER CRAZY WAYS THEY CAN MANAGE.

...

SCATTY, I NEED YOU TO COME TO MY APARTMENT AS SOON AS FUCKING POSSIBLE.

Fess up.

[Whoever did it--since it's apparently widespread--will know what he's talking about. Not that it will slow him down; he just has to remember to adjust for an altered center of balance. But it is annoying, and if a dispel won't get rid of it and he can't see the source, he's going to have to interrogate the caster.]

hulkbusted

[Someone has gone through several cups of herbal tea this morning before feeling assured that he's calm enough to come to the network. If he didn't have classes to teach today, he'd spend the entire day doing a thorough physical on himself. (Get your minds out of any gutters they've fallen into.)

As it is, after the initial incredulity, shock, horror, and rising fury passed, he's thrown on a button down shirt, shoved his hair out of his face, and settled down in front of the video camera.]

Broadcast to any students in his class
Good morning, students. If you're thinking about skipping class today because you're suddenly confused about which bathroom to use, don't. I'll be there and fair warning to SPU faculty, I'll be using the men's room.

Biochem students, yes, we will be having the scheduled exam.

Loki. I want a word with you.

[The feed opens to a video, early morning, out in a courtyard. Iroh is standing outside this building, within full view. He has purposely made it as close to home as possible, with a few modern conveniences within, as well of course the necessary Darkness proofing.]

For those of you who might know me, my tea shop has been completed. It is known as the Jasmine Dragon, as it was at home. It will be officially opened for business next week. The grand opening is on Sunday. I have endeavoured to have a wide variety of tea, which is available both for consumption and purchase.

[He inclines his head]

There are positions available for those seeking employment at such a place, feel free to contact me. There are a variety of positions available, the most prominent being servers and hosts, though there are also cook positions available for the small menu of food we do have. Thank you for your time.
