Hello, out there? Superboy? Robin? Kid Flash? Aqualad, Artemis-- Zatanna?
This might ... sound a bit silly, considering this place is supposedly full of um. Other heroes, but if anyone out there knows those names, I'd really appreciate having a hand in getting a hold of them.

Oh- Er. I'm Miss Martian. And while I'm majorly psyched that I'm in Florida right now? It's totally not where I'm supposed to be. I get there's a big mission thing going on but... I mean someone's got to have figured something out so far, right?

[ Ugh, hello Megan! This many superheroes in one place? If they had, I probably wouldn't even be here in the first place! ]

Oh! Or the Justice League. Martian Manhunter would be a big help, right about now... Thanks! Miss M out!

[ She's so always wanted to try that. ]

[When the comm turns on, the face of a young blonde woman can be seen. She's visibly nervous, but her voice stays firm as she speaks.]

Okay. Uhm. Hello, everyone. I'm Dr. Jennifer Keller, and obviously I just arrived here... I'm glad there's such a comprehensive welcoming package, but I do have one problem. I never had superpowers when I was home. [Her eyes move down and the rustling of papers can be heard as she looks over the file she was given again.] Is there... I don't know... some kind of place I can go to or person I can ask for lessons? Advice? Anything?

[She swallows.] I can become intangible, but I have to say, the prospect of walking through something and getting stuck or falling through the Earth is... pretty terrifying. I'm not exactly eager to go down in history being known for that, you know?

Any help would be appreciated.

So.

[ There's not a whole lot that's remarkable about the video feed outside its grey-skinned subject. From what's visible in the background, it's one of the more popular burger/malt joints around Cape Canaveral. There isn't any food in sight-- but there is a newspaper on the table, visible just off to the side.

Karkat doesn't look happy! In other news, water is wet. ]

I've been told I have a tendency to overreact when it comes to minor inconveniences. [ Scare quotes, on "minor". ] It's been suggested to me on multiple occasions that I chill out, or calm my rumble spheres, or, and I'm paraphrasing here, shut your fluttering face-flap before I cram my fist in it, you howling, feculent dumbfuck. And, okay, I guess they might have a slight point. Maybe I do have a tendency to overreact! I will grant that it's possible misplacing a pair of socks probably wasn't cause for a full-blown conniption.

[ He picks up the newspaper here, and moves it into the camera's view, before zooming in on the date printed on the front. September! ]

But misplacing an entire.

Fucking.

MONTH?!

[ There's the sound of tearing paper and-- well. That's a waste of a perfectly good newspaper. He probably didn't even read it.

There's now a very attractive view of Karkat's many sharp teeth while he howls into the communicator-- ]

What the fresh-fried FUCK did I do to incur THIS bullshit?!

[Kenzi has her comm set up so it's pointed at her on the couch. She's seated comfortably with Sir Apple, her faerie dragon, curled up in her lap.]

A'ight, thing the first, the Kenzi is off the market. Has been for a bit actually but I figured I should just let everyone know. Sorry to break so many hearts at once but I gotta do it.

Who is the lucky guy, you ask? Well, I might embarrass the crap out of him by saying buuuuut...he's really easy to embarrass anyway. [She looks off screen as if there's someone else there.] Sorry, Gil, people gotta know.

That's right, Gilbert Nightray! [She's trying not to grin like an idiot, not just because of her feelings for him but because she's imagining his overreaction to this post. And in imagining that she ends up letting out a soft snort as she tries not to laugh, quickly following it up with clearing her throat.]


[Now privated FROM Gil]

Thing the second, I need date ideas... Normally this wouldn't be a problem but it's Gil and going out to clubs and stuff like that isn't his thing. My idea of dates has always been on the loud side of things so beyond movies and dinners I'm having a hard time coming up with things more his pace. Idea would be appreciated.


[And now it's back to public for everyone]

News aside, The Red Branch is still looking for employees. Must be eighteen or older, preferably twenty-one since we do serve alcohol. We're located in Maurtia Falls, Pennsylvania so it'd be great if you live here but if you don't it's just a 'porter trip away. If you're interested drop by or give us a call.

[There's a link with a map that shows directions to the The Red Branch from the government facility that holds the 'porter in Maurtia Falls. The number is also listed here.]
