[ This? This is, for the very first time, an actual honest-to-god face. It’s the face of a very pretty girl, eighteenish, with dark hair and heavy eyebrows and a very intense expression. Here she is, Kitty Jones, at long last, in all of her fierce revolutionary glory. ]

Don’t get excited when you see the network ID. I’m not new. The Porter hasn’t started bringing in new people yet.

[ Her accent is South London. Her voice is confident, bordering on bossy. Passionate, but not crossing the line into angry. Definitely not the terrified squeak that would be more representative of how nervous she is right now. (This has been rehearsed many times, and sounds better right now than it did the first few.) ]

I’ve been around about a month now, but I’ve going on the network by Lizzie Temple. It was a fake name. My name’s actually Kitty Jones. I had reasons for lying, but those reasons are gone now, so this is really me. A pleasure meeting you all.

[ That last part is said with a hint of irony. But that irony drops away immediately, because who has time for it! Not Kitty Jones, scared but pretending to be ferocious. ]

So why was I hiding?

My world, my London, is dominated by magicians. Which, yeah, sounds like it ought to be a joke, except magic where I’m from isn’t card tricks and taking rabbits from tophats. It’s enslaving spirits to your will. It’s using those spirits to keep a particular sort of order, where commoners - non-magicians - aren’t allowed to vote, to speak up in dissent. It’s hurting those spirits, and hurting commoners too, if any of us step out of line.

I’m part of the commoners’ resistance against magician rule, and have been for years. The trouble is that we’re making no progress. Commoners haven’t got any power against magicians ourselves; all we’re able to do is lob a few bombs, then suffer when the magicians crack down, get angrier, get more violent, suffer more - go around and around like that as more and more people die. The way we're fighting right now - people are dying, but we're making no progress. For that to change...We need help.

[ Her smile is quick, tight, determined, and mirthless. ]

In my month here, I've learned two things about all of you. First: you love freedom, and you hate oppression. You believe strongly in the rights of the people, that the voiceless should be given voices, that the weak should be sheltered. Second: you all have power that’s far, far beyond what the magicians can muster. That's a combination that's led me to think that there are some of you who might be willing and able to help us back home.

So who will? If I lead you to my home world, who will help fight tyranny?

[ She sits forward in her seat, hoping that call to arms was sufficiently dramatic. Really, really hoping. Inspiring speeches, leadership, all that - she hasn't really had to lead anyone since she was a kid, and that was just a couple of other kids. And she very much doubts that she’s ever inspired a single person in her whole life.

But people’s lives are on the line. Self-doubt is a luxury for times of peace. ]

This won't be bloody. I know magicians; they're cowards who will back down soon as it's clear they won't win. And it won't be forever; I'm working on a way that'll get you to my world and that'll let you leave again. It will take bravery, and strength, and goodness. And success isn't guaranteed. But if any of you are willing to take this chance, if any of you are willing to help to free my people - if any of you think that there might be something that will lead you to be willing - speak up.

[ And then she sits back again. She lifts her chin, all poise and confidence. ]

I'll answer questions now. Don't ask me about the travel between worlds; I know everyone will be curious, but you'll have to wait for details - but I will give them, I promise. Ask about anything that sounds wrong, or anything you're not sure of. I'll answer anything. No lies this time.

[Wing appears on the network looking as thoughtfully calm as always. This is merely a clever deception, however, as he is, in fact, in a lot of pain. Not that he'd openly admit that, but he does have a very important question he wishes to ask the organics of this world.]

Let's say, hypothetically, you are a human who has a pair of wings, and you injure one of those wings in a reckless bridge-diving exercise. Would you go to the doctors for such an injury, or a veterinarian?

[He's been mulling over this for about two hours now. It's been a very long process.]

This is all hypothetical, mind you. But not so hypothetical that immediate answers won't be appreciated.

[Locked to Fulcrum and Ratchet]

Greetings friends! I've got something for you! Consider it a "Christmas" gift. That's what the locals call it!

[Standing ontop of what appears to be a court house, holding the camera down, looking up, giving his appearance a much more intimidating look, not that he needs it at all. He stands with his head high, in his black and gold Goku Uniform.]

[A deep intake of breath, through his nose, nostrils flaring. A big breath in big lungs to fuel some big words. You miss Gamagori's network posts, everyone? It's been a little while, hasn't it?]

GREETINGS NETWORK VIEWERS, imports of all kinds, THIS IS GAMAGORI IRA, Registered imPort and CAPE CANAVERAL BOOT CAMP INSTRUCTOR. I am here with a brief announcement.

[It's strange, even if you don't care about what he has to say, the man's voice calls to you, makes you listen to him, makes you wait for what he's going to say next. Sure- it's loud, in your face, confident- but there's something else about it that makes you give him your attention.]

There will be a holiday gathering at The Red Branch in Maurita Falls, Pennsylvania open to all and is being hosted by the import Moses Sandor. Free food, festivities, and room and board for the nights after will be offered to those that attend. The event will be taking place during the 24th and 25th, with available time to assist in preparations up to the 23rd! Assisting nor reserving is mandatory, but should you wish to help contact Moses Sandor via his personal voicemail, questions now? Please direct them here and they will be answered accordingly, but remain patient. The party should be looked at as a time of leisure and celebration, please do not consider any of this obligatory but bring both your good cheer and desire to MINGLE and RELAX!

Thank you for your attention and Happy Holidays! It has been some time since I have spoken to the network personally, I am happy to see many of you doing well, and should you find yourself not during this holiday season, I am always open to ask for assistance of any kind! I will not rest until I amend your troubles during this month or any to come! Thank you again for your attention and greetings to those whom I have yet to meet and speak to since your arrival.

[Link to the event is here. Feel free to post any time, and if you have OOC questions, lemme know or hit up Moses mun.]

[ Today, Toboe has few things to address. He is sitting at the park, under a tree, and nearby there is rawhide bone some nice lady gave him. It appears he has chewed part of it already, but he is taking a break right now. ]

Hello! I have a couple of questions. [ he smiles wider before he starts ] Back in my world there was something called "Lunar flower". It's a white flower that smells really good and it blooms during full moons. [ they are also what will guide wolves to paradise. Toboe pauses as he thinks for a moment if he should say that or not, but decides it's best not to. ] People I asked didn't know it, so I was wondering if there were any in your worlds.

And uhm- [ the next question is a bit... difficult ] I have a question about the Porter. If... someone who died is brought here, and then the Porter sends them back... are they... just going to die again? [ asking because reasons. Toboe looks down at his hands as he is silent for a second ] That sort of thing sounds really scary. [ he doesn't want to die again.

But he rises his head again, with a smile ] Oh! And where can I learn how to read? Everyone uses text so much, and it's a bit difficult for me to always need to put everything into voice. [ at least the communicator gives him that option, else he'd be in serious trouble at times ]
