[Hello, network. It's your favorite British mutant.

ID: Psylocke

As usual, the device is levitating a few feet away from her face. Today, she's dressed in a black sports bra and cranberry yoga pants; her violet hair is tied up in a high and tight ponytail, and her violet-irised eyes give a warmer stare to the camera. There's a thin glistening shine of sweat to her face, as if she's just finished working out.]

I could always use more practice with sparring with or without weapons, and I'm sure some of you also could -- or maybe even to learn for the first time -- so I'm offering my time for both, for any of you interested imPorts.

[A beat of silence then— ]

Who's in?

[She cuts the feed there.

[ Kylo's expression is tight, his eyes intensely sharp- and those who have seen him before will note something else, too. His face is scarred- a long, neatly healed line running right over it, from his brow down to his neck. ]

Thankfully, he hasn't taken his clothing off for the occasion. ]

I'm back.

[ That's it. ]

[continuousgroaning]

what's the worst or funniest way your device has tried to autocorrect you?

i'm curious because I was trying to type a diary entry about my boyfriend and how i want to kiss ham instead of him

and all the times i've almost texted my housemates that we were having Taako for dinner

or calling Magnus a mango

i could use a good laugh

[You're not imagining things - that is D33's username attached to a video post on the network. He doesn't appear in frame, though. Instead, the video opens up to a couple of cats snoozing on a couch. D33's voice comes from off screen, deep and flat as usual, stuck in his perpetual monotone.]

Greetings. [He sound about as awkward as you'd expect as he says this. He's really not used to giving greetings at all, but it seems a little weird to just start talking without saying something first.] I am addressing you this evening in regard to an abundance of animals that Kaneki and I have recently found ourselves saddled with. [Is that a pun? Probably not.

[The camera turns, then, to a large fish tank containing one red-tailed black shark.]

The fish is being offered as well as the cats. In addition to that, we've-- Ah. One moment.

[The camera shuts off for a few minutes. When it turns back on, the scenery has changed to that of a barn, in front of which Kaneki is currently being devoured by a hungry goat (it's chewing on his hair).]

Goodness, Kaneki-- Push that thing away from you. [The camera fumbles a little and goes dark, but the sounds of a brief struggle can still be heard until it comes on again. This time, the goat is on the ground, chewing on Kaneki's pant leg instead.

[D33 sighs, turning the camera away from the goat to face a pen containing a couple more goats as well as a few medium-sized pigs. There are a few chickens hopping about as well, pecking at the ground for seed.]

As you can see, we are quite overwhelmed with current situation. All of the animals you have seen filmed are available to be taken as soon as possible--

[Just then, with an excited bark, a cheerful dog bounds into frame, tail wagging as it runs through the chickens.]

Tommy--

Not that one. Come here, will you?

[The video shuts off there.]

((Ooc: Kaneki and D33 will both be responding to tags on this post!))

[sleight_of_hand]

[ When Adachi appears on the screen he... already looks like he's had a couple drinks, as he's swaying a little in front of the video. Riza the poochyena can just be seen in the background of the video, her head tilted and looking like she was saying she was disappointed in her human dad. ]

Heeeeeey~! It's February first! You all know what that means!

[ He held up a glass beer bottle that's practically empty. Yep; definitely buzzed at the very least. ]

Who wants to join me drinkin' for my birthday~?

[001] video;

[gazeboeffect]

[ On the screen is a small boy with worried eyes. He holds up his right arm, which is encased in a white cast with the word LOSER scrawled across it in black ink. The S has been covered over with a red V, making the word LOVER instead. At first glance you might assume he'll have a personality as small as he is, but then he opens his mouth and promptly ruins the illusion. ]

Okay—just—this is ridiculous. [ He flings an arm out to the side for emphasis, barely missing the communicator. ] As if my life's not already messed up enough, now I get sucked into some weirdo alternate universe? And in this alternate universe, my hometown doesn't even exist, but there are bizarro world versions of my friends walking around in Florida, for some reason! Like that's not fucked up!

[ You might think this is the end of the rant, but it's only a pause while Eddie sucks in another breath and prepares his second point. ]

And this— [ He's waving some paperwork, presumably his own file, in front of the camera, but too quickly for anyone to make out what's written there. ] I can't live with total strangers! This is illegal, and unsanitary, and my mom will kill me if she finds out I moved into a house with people I don't even know. And why do I have a job? I'm a kid! My job is to be a kid!

[ Look, you guys, clearly Eddie is just getting started here. But luckily for everyone involved, just as he's preparing his third (fourth? ish?) point, little white pills start to fill his palms and clatter to the floor, and that pretty much ends any further ranting. Eddie's mouth drops open in utter shock and embarrassment, and there's a quickly muttered ] Oh Jesus [ before he reaches out and cuts the video feed. ]

From what I've observed of your fiction, humans put aliens into two categories. Either they are violent invaders or they are so superior and intelligent that all of their tech is way beyond your human brains and it makes Earth look low and aggressive in comparison. Either way, somebody is blasting the other.

Is this what the majority of you believe about us?

Yes, some of you would have clearly noticed that I'm not human and not hiding that fact is sometimes a risky proposition. Case in point... what I already said.

Not every alien fits into those two boxes.

Personally, what are your views about aliens?
