[ The transmission is coming from the front of the Rogue One household. It's still looking pretty cold, But Bodhi is sitting out front - wearing a scarf and jacket over his clothes, gloves sitting uselessly next to him - the reason why is because he's petting a dog with his free hand. He doesn't quite look at the audience as he speaks. ]

You know, dogs where I come from aren't half as -- well, cute as the ones from this planet are. Isn't that right, boy? 

I um. Need some help. I've never had a pet before, and I could use some advice? [ He's done a little research, but it can't hurt getting some more input from others, right? the dog barks, nosing into Bodhi's face and he almost topples over, trying to avoid death by licking. ] Hey, hey. Cut that out, you.

[ He's not mad, though. Smiling, he shakes his head and addresses the camera again. ]

Also, name suggestions. I could use some of those, too. I'm no good at picking names.

[ at least not for living things. But calling a dog 'Rogue One' cause he can't think of anything else is out. ]

[The transmission opens on the young woman sitting in front of her computer. For a moment she is quiet, fumbling a bit with her camera as she finds a suitable set up. She had never handled a camera before, it had not been important for her to learn anything about technology before, and she hoped that it wasn't too obvious. Her goals in her missions had always been to blend in as much as possible. And the inability to could mean her life. But this wasn't a mission. She didn't think so. And she wanted to blend. She wanted to connect. And this was a start.]

Hello, My name is Kei...

[Her voice finally comes through and she can't help but smile as she introduces herself, warmth swelling in her chest. After a second to regain herself she speaks again.]

I've heard this is a well used platform for people who are searching for answers. Asking questions. And I can tell you that I've had a lot on my mind since I've arrived. If you could bear with me, I have a something I'd like to ask for advice about.

[She falls silent, rubbing her lips with the tip of her fingers as she searches for her words.]

What is it like? To shop for clothes? To shop in general really... It's just that I've never been able to dress myself. Well, not dress myself, of course I dress myself!

[The woman laughs, adjusting the loosely fitting t-shirt hanging on her shoulders.]

I've just become so used to a strict uniform. I'd really like to have an outside opinion on what and where and...well... how... to get clothing. Thank you for your time!

THE MAJORITY REPORT: JANUARY 10TH, 2018

[maskormods]

THE MAJORITY REPORT: JANUARY 10TH, 2018The federal government has cooled to the usual airways between imPort officials and their communications; there is a palpable mistrust of imPort competency thanks to the recent issue with the Porter. Rumor has it that the Virginia, Florida, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania state governors are trying to spin the misadventure in an "accidents happen" way, but it's difficult to maneuver. General positive opinions of imPorts has taken a nose dive,
and residents who once supported imPorts wholeheartedly now have second thoughts.

DIO-MONDS ARE FOREVER
As seen on social media, imPort news websites, and news stations in the Porter cities:
ImPort entertainer and semi-professional rabble-rouser Count Dooku has involved himself in politics yet again, releasing an online statement endorsing vampiric lawyer Dio Brando for the position of Maurtia Falls Ambassador. In the statement, Dooku describes Dio Brando as an "inspiring and trustworthy figure who I know will fight tirelessly for change," and encourages all imPorts who desire progress to vote for him in the current elections.

Followers of imPort politics may remember that Count Dooku once ran himself for Maurtia Falls Ambassador in 2016, only to see his 'Reform' platform crushed by the campaign of current Mayor Petyr Baelish, and by Komasan, a talking ghost dog who promised the city free soft cream.

#SNOWBLAKE
As seen, in abstract form, on some Theology and imPort related blogs, and rotation on academic Bwitter:
An article titled "Imports and a Study of the Fates" recently came out of the Heropa suburbs recently. Adjunct professor at Heropa Central College, Dr. David Blake -- a recent import -- writes a detailed history on the nature of the "Grecian Fates", named Clotho, Lachesis and Atropos. Much of what he writes is speculative, determining the nature of the fates with regards to import imprisonment.

"While not much is clear on the nature of why imports have been brought here, even in the short time since I have arrived, the name Lachesis was given to me within my first days. Lachesis, the one who measured the strings of fate -- and I was told that we are hated by the oldest, Atropos. Not just because we cannot die, but because of a feud between the fates.

Interestingly enough, from other accounts through the import Network, cataloging public mentions by longtime imports, I wonder if perhaps we should approach this like the oldest of the fates is a force of nature --"

After the abstract was released, the full text was picked up by "Grecian Lightning" a theology publication, and the professor promises it will be available in full next month.

PITCHY PERFECT
As seen reported by Brenda via TMI:
Was this an infamous Count Dooku citing? Bwitter celebrity "Daoy" claimed to have witnessed the imPort moving down the main coastline of Topsail Beach in North Carolina.

"Yeah, he was rockin' -- uh, rockin' and rollin'. Down to the beach was strollin'."

But the seagulls? Were they poking his head? Not fun! Pressed on the seagulls:

"Mm," said Daoy. "Stop it now."

ODAMN
As seen on the TMI website:
ODIN OR WODEN? Who is the TRUE King of Asgard? Who's the One-Eyed Daddy to rule them all?? The Wise Wanderer? Who's the Allfather and who's the Don't Bother? Midgird your loins and settle an era-spanning dispute! Vote below in our official TMI poll!

CODE SWITCH
The Homeland Security Advisory System has moved from BIFROSTY to DISAPPOINTMENT GRAY. The President isn't angry, she's just... Disappointed.

[helllllo network. have a girl who looks, well, faintly annoyed. she rubs her face a little before she starts talking, sipping at a cup of bubble tea. she's parked herself at what some might recognize as a coffee shop in maurtia falls.]

Hi. Lost... over a year this time. Back. What have I missed?

[her voice has a slight rasp, clipped around the edges, like she's not quite used to using it.

... but wait. she should probably backpedal. she presses her lips together for a moment, before continuing.]

Um--I'm Cassandra. I was... here, before. Looks like things have changed. [And she's not exactly sure what to make of it. There's so much to catch up on. At least time moved forward back home while she had been back, but... she hadn't exactly had a great time.]

...Anyone from Gotham? [she's really not very good at breaking the ice.]
