[Kon is far too tired to talk or show himself right now. But somehow, text makes a whole lot of sense. Even though it requires more than hitting record. It makes sense to him. Talking is tiring.]

lies and truths, weird future vision things and now a gas attack from a lunatic freak. i'd say something about it being just like home but it's not. I don't know whats worse.

I don't know why i expected it to be easy here. You know like nothing dramatic was going to happen because of us to...us.

I'm sorry. if I hurt anyone.

So on a scale of one to awesome, one being useless as a slicker in the Sahara and awesome being ten: how useful is/are your power(s)?

Idle curiosity. Must be Tuesday.

Checked the newspaper, it is actually Tuesday.

[ that was handy and this, as she's walking to the bus stop from the porter, again, seems more expedient than texting everyone she knows. it only seems to be a day or so, so maybe they won't have even noticed.

ha!

anyway abigail is back from her power update! ]

audio; his [ one ] beating heart

[hisheartsdesire]

Hello! [This voice and accent.] Some of you might know me already.

But for anyone who doesn't know me—and I'm sure there are lots of you who I don't know—I'm Tobias Matthews. Thought I'd introduce myself and perhaps ask for help, or tips and tricks to using these devices and the internet and things like that.

While I'm at it, mind telling me your favourite methods of posting or responding? Voice-audio, text, or video? Just asking out of curiosity. Also, before you answer, Dorian, I know your answer is video because you love plastering your face everywhere so everyone can see it. As if people can't get enough of it.

Obviously, my favourite is voice-audio. Anyway, I guess that's all for now. Looking forward to meeting everyone. Good-bye.

[Hey everyone, guess who's back? It's Peter and he still doesn't look like he's getting with the times any and changing his attire. Nope, still looks like he hopped right out of a fairy tale book.

Regardless, he's offering a smile to all, if a tad sympathetic.]

We've had a very depressing few weeks, haven't we? An event to bring unity and friendship between all imPorts and normal citizens alike only for our more seedier members to go and spoil the whole thing.

But, we have countless people making an effort to help put this behind us. Some through physical means others through word.

However, I feel I have not done my part to help alleviate people's tensions. So allow me to help with song.

[He's pulling out pipes now and raising his lips and then he plays. It's a cheerful little tune, nothing more nothing less and he does nothing to mask the sound magically to certain people. Everyone may hear it, but, some people may also feel it when the sound catches their ears.

The music will tug at heart strings, touching a far off happy memory lingering deep inside. A well of happiness just bubbling beneath the surface. Of course, it's only a suggestion in his magic. They can choose to ignore it, but why would you? It's been so dreary lately.

He has no target this time for his music, letting it's magic run a bit wild and see who it touches.

Otherwise you just hear pretty pan pipe music.

Clearly nothing sinister here. ]

[It's video time with Jeff! Why can't he just do text like normal people, you ask? Because then the world wouldn't be able to see his beautiful face, duh. He's at his desk, lounging like a pro with a full glass of scotch held at eye line, managing to look somewhat thoughtful as he keeps his narrowed eyes on the alcohol before him.]

I went home like a month ago. Did one of those away for a day, lived a year things. Kinda makes you wonder what game the Porter's playing with crap like that, some weird ass brand of temptation and torture all in one.

So, real talk here, imPorts... If we all got told they didn't want us any more, that we got 24 hours to decide whether to go home or stay here forever, what would you do? Is what you built up here enough to keep you? Or are you just gonna be counting down the hours to get back and see those you left behind?

Pretty deep stuff, huh?

[He finally looks to the camera, just starting to reach to turn it off, before...]

Oh! And uh, season one of my show is drawing to a close soon. I know you've all been watching it avidly. Gotta start considering my options for next season, so wanna guest star? Got ideas? Wanna be in the crew? Hit me up. Time to make season two even better than the first. [And he's out, with a final, winning smile.]

[bestsword]

Okay. Public opinion poll because some people don't understand what protocol actually is.

Question one: can you call dibs on a house

[Distantly, in the background:] Yes, but that's not the fucking point!

And question two: do you think it counts when they aren't around for it if you write your damn name on it

[Still distant] No! The whole point of goddamn dibs is that someone is THERE TO HEAR YOU CLAIM IT!

I mean, usually there's the "there is no wrong answer" here but-

There is, and it's yours!

- shut the fuck up, Church - there is TOTALLY a right answer to this and I need to prove I'm right.

Video - Ambassadorial Announcement

[exsithstential]

[Hey everyone, it's your friendly neighborhood Ambassador from Maurtia Falls. He's got his killer black suit and red tie combo going on as he regards the screen warmly.]

Good evening. And yes, I can say that. Because despite everything that has been happening lately, we continue to persevere. In the face of pain, and in the face of terror, we have stood strong. As I know we can continue to do together.

We remain unbroken.

I know many of you still feel anxious, however. Like me, you're probably feeling a strong urge to act, to do something. Anything to strike back against this feeling of violation. But I urge you to consider what matters. What truly matters in times like these.

Have we lost because someone struck out against our community? That we have been beaten? I have seen Imports assaulted time and again and yet I still see the resolve to continue our lives. To not bow to our fears.

Not once have I considered us beaten.

I believe that every step we take forward from tragedy is a victory. And as long as we continue to move ever onward we have never truly beaten.

That is why today I will not give any more attention to those that would wrong us. They are no longer worthy of our consideration. I come to you with my step forward into our future.

Today I bring you the Import Helix Station.

[With a wave out and behind him, the camera pans back to a large, gleaming multi-story building. Despite it's simple design, having been until recently an out of service highschool, the exterior had received a complete overhaul. Large windows framed with shining white-steel walls cover the majority of the visible side as it seems to almost glow in the evening sun.]

Of course, that's just the first name I could think of. [Revan hums this as the camera comes back to focus on him, losing much of the grandiose and somewhat enthralling tone he'd had until now. Now he seemed softer, more personable.] I'm actually open to ideas in that regard!

If you have forgotten or missed my previous announcement, I've built this facility to provide a base of operations for all Import designed services and charities that are directed towards our own community. While the other Ambassadors have done exceptional work providing for us all, I know there are several of you out there that have a desire to do good for your peers. Especially those that have just been ported in and lack the resources to comfortably start out on their new paths.

Now, you'll have the resources to do so. Any who wish to sign up their service will have all the tools and foundation they need to let their noble intentions find traction.

For starters you'll receive your own office, as well as workshop space and tools for you and anyone supporting you so you'll have a base of operations from which to act. And if you choose to register your service, you have the option of setting up the service to be a permanent addition to the facility. Meaning should you even become unable to continue your work, another noble soul can come in and pick up from where you left off.

So I urge you, come. Take this step with me into the future of Import prosperity. Together we can over come anything.

Together, like a helix. All interconnected. [He makes a bit of a spiraling motion with his hands] So... you see what I did there, yeah?
