ONE ❀ TEXT.

[dreamcatcher]

( she's relying on the relative anonymity of text, even though Emma can't exactly hide who she is, when the network tracks every user. still, she can't help herself, and in a town full of others that just got a heaping helping of powers they didn't ask for, it seems like a good time to ask. )

how do you handle having powers that are so much bigger than you?
how do you control it, so nobody ends up hurt?

[ When Claire appears on the network, she looks much the same as she did a month or so ago, if not a bit more relaxed as she smiles. And she definitely has the hang of the device by now. With respect to her roommates in residence 9 of the Falls housing, she's commandeered a table in their living room, currently surrounded by (in organized piles) books, bottles, vials, dried herbs, different flowers, and mortar and pestles.]

Good afternoon, everyone. I have a general question for all of you. We're from different times and places, and I wondered what your favorite 'home remedies' are. For example, boiling ginger and drinking the tea for nausea, or gargling with garlic water for a sore throat. Anything you would do before taking some sort of medication because you feel you've seen the proven results of it working.

You could even have practical uses for things in medical emergencies. Like using cobwebs as a bandage in a pinch.

Let me hear it, everyone. The things you know work that have been passed down over time. With such a variety of us from different places, we must all know different things that could be useful.

Or, if you'd like, please feel free to ask any questions you might have.

[ The video turns on showing nothing but vibrant pink. It  takes a few moments for the camera to zoom out to an armored soldier.  ]

Heeeey Guys!

As a new Hero I thought what better way to introduce myself than with a song.

[ Is he serious? He clears his throat - Yes. Yes he is. He takes a moment to begin but when he does -- oh god ignore the lyrics!! ]

♪ ♫ ♪ Let me blow you… Away!  ♪ ♫ ♪
 

[ At least his voice isn't too grating?? Right? Either way, the song comes to an end a little too late to save his credibility.  ]

♪ ♫ ♪  So let me blow you…
Blow you all…
One by one…
Individually---or in a group
Blow you---
A… way…!  ♪ ♫ ♪

[He ends the song with a flourish then bows deeply, pretty in pink. ]

This has been a Franklin Donut Production!

[ What did he just.... Yes. You heard him right. He wasn't going to pass up an opportunity to put his talents to use! Sarge never lets him do any plays or musicals back home but ~Sarge isn't here sooo~... With a wink that no one can possibly see through with his helmet he moves to end the video but stops half-way through the act as he remembers something. ]

O-Ooh! Before I forget. Does anyone know where to find De Chima #005?

[ He looks around. ] I'm kind of lost.

001. [ VIDEO ]

[ The camera is pointed sky-ward, briefly. The tops of buildings could be seen, as could the vast blue skies with puffs of pure white clouds that dotted it. The chirping of birds, the sounds of a bustling town could be heard as the camera remains idle. Then there's a soft fall of footsteps, followed by the scraping of a chair being dragged against pavement briefly.

The camera shifts, as it's delicately picked up between two fingers. A girl with blonde hair and bright blue eyes appears, and she looks no older than seventeen. The surroundings behind her shows that she was sitting at a local cafe in Heropa. It appears she's having nothing but a casual day, although she finds herself immensely lost in this place.

A small smile appears on her features, and she finally opens her mouth to speak; ]

Greetings, my name is Aigis.

[ There's a brief pause as she attempts to figure out what to say. ]

This is my first day here, so I am obviously new around these parts. I am making this video in attempts to find out more information than what was given to me... And to perhaps connect with others.

VIDEO.

[ The video starts and a young child can be seen: he is ten, but he looks more mature than that if only because he looks so serious. He is surrounded by trees, and to those who are familiar with the place, it's clearly Heropa's park. Next to him there is a bird that strangely doesn't seem to be afraid of him. In any case, Ame isn't sure how to start this, but he knows exactly what he wants to ask; being an introvert is hard, but he is trying his best!

He doesn’t speak, at first, and he doesn’t really look at the communicator at first. He seems to be focused on something else (smells, sounds). Eventually, he does speak, with a soft low voice and his eyes turn to the small camera ]

Tell me about your forests. And this world's forests. [ okay, that's not so bad. The bird nearby approaches enough so it'll land on top of Ame's head, but the kid doesn't seem to even notice its there. ]

And about the wolves, too.
