video | ❝ it's the end of the world as we know it ❞

[quickfingers]

[There's a crackling sound to the audio as the feed starts, screen black until it becomes a blur - wind rumbling through the microphone before the image settles on a hair-raising view of the city of Maurtia Falls from up, up above. Peter gives a little kick to one of his dangling legs, not at all nervous about how precariously he may be perched on the edge of this building. In fact, when he turns the camera around, he looks completely at ease and flashes both a grin and a peace sign to the lens.]

Hey, check this out this view. I could look at it every day and never get bored. Get it? Eh? Eh? Is it too soon to be making bad jokes about a terrible situation? 'Cause that's kinda my thing. But so's trying to make bad situations better by presenting amazing solutions. Totally revolutionary ones. Hear me out.

[No, he's not going to send himself hurtling into any nukes. Or off of this building.]

If we're doomed to repeat today for all eternity, why not choose to go out with all-you-can-eat pizza? And not only that, free all-you-can-eat pizza. I deliver faster than than my boss is gonna forget he won't get paid, so order up and order big. Let Porter Pizza cater your amazing parties and hedonistic delights tonight. And every other tonight yet to come. Just, y'know? Maybe invite the delivery kid to maybe have a drink? Since all other tips are gonna be bullshit by morning.

[Peter snorts, catching his tongue between his teeth because he's taking a back seat approach to all this. There's nothing he can do at this point that will have much if any affect, and rather than let the helplessness get to him he's got to focus on something else instead. Bring a little levity to the situation.] Anyone else starting to make an end of the world playlist, or is it just me?

[He raises a brow, some music turning up in the background before he gives a little shrug to the camera.]

I want your recs.

VIDEO | ID SAYS BLUE BEETLE | FORWARD-DATED TO THE 26th/27th

[khajidont]

All right, this is getting ridiculous.

Hey, everyone. I'm the Blue Beetle, and I'm with the Justice League - even if this isn't specifically a League project, so don't think I'm a spokesperson, or whatever. We've got good intel now, and we've got all of us with way, way too many skills and abilities to just keep letting this happen, but obviously us just, like, running into the missiles isn't working out so well for us. If we're going to fix things, we're going to have to work together. As far as I can see, we're gonna need some people to go up to space like we did last month, some people on the ground to make sure as many civilians get into bomb shelteres in case this is the last shelter, and some people who, uh... know how bombs work? Point is, if you're good with tech, I'm willing to bet we could use your help.

I'm getting a team together to try and figure this out for once and for all. If you're interested, let me know, and I'll give you the coordinates of where we're going to meet to sort this out.

We're too good not to be able to succeed - now, we just gotta try. Who's with me?

[ Kaneki won't be greeting anyone because this week hasn't been easy. So he will go right to the point: ]

Following up some information from last month's missions to South Korea and Space, Jacob-san, Cisco-san, Anderson-san, Thrawn-san and myself did some investigation, which lead us to Chile, Iquique, and Mexico, Guadalajara. If you are interested in knowing what we discovered during last month's missions, please follow up the two links I'll be attaching to this post. [ He will be linking to Jacob's and to this ] If you want to know what we found in Chile and Mexico, please keep listening.

In Chile, we found a launch site that has been stockpilling large amounts of construction materials used to construct Project Phobos, and launching them to Mars. We came to realize OTO's satellites were simply meant to provide concealment for these launches, and all the materials check out with the inventory lists obtained in South Korea. Aparently OTO was using legal loopholes to manage all of this, so the Chilean government seems to be unware of what is going on in their soil. [ kaneki is flipping through pages as he speaks. He wrote everything down, as usual ]

The launching site belongs to a company by Hora Nueva, their CEO is Vincent Magaldi, and their headquarters are in Mexico, which we also investigated. Hora Nueva doesn't seem to know OTO's plans, and like it has been happening with a lot of companies related to them, it seems that they are just exchanging services, so they aren't involved with the nuclear attack. OTO was interested in them specifically because HN managed to create a 'Jet-Express' engine, that allows fast travelling through space. That's how OTO was able to get their materials to Mars orbit so fast.

We also believe the missile is using this engine.

[ so it's not travelling at normal speed, no. Kaneki eventually puts his papers down ] Me and everyone else involved can try answering any questions. If anyone wants to follow up on any of this, or has any ideas, feel free to come forward. Right now we need all the help we can get.

O8 👶 VIDEO; + RONAN LYNCH

[pillz]

[it's been a handful of days since the nightmarish time loops started. when kavinsky appears in the video, he looks harried and gaunt; even the argyle sweater he's wearing is skewed. beside him, there's ronan who looks like he's actually, somehow, in a worse mood than usual. as per usual, it's kavinsky who ends up talking first:]

We made a Porter. A shitty-- knockoff Porter.

We've made it two fucking times, but it doesn't work right because we ain't fucking gods, I guess— [it's odd for kavinsky to swear, ever since his visit with dr. chilton's home for lost boys, but the veneer of american psycho is peeling off thanks to stress.] So we need your help. Magic or science, whatever you got. We need it, so if you can just--

[Ronan interrupts, impatiently:]

We're in Heropa. We're in position. All we need is the fucking energy to make something functional. It keeps redirecting the fucking missiles instead of porting them out, and as far as I can tell, it's because porting shit takes a fuckton of power. We don't need anything from you people except juice, so if you've got any kind of energy manipulation, talk to us.

[OOC: Belated plotting thread-o is here! We can handwave the action if your character would ICly sign up, but Pana and I are around to RP things too!]
