[ Behold: Lestat, sprawled on a velvet couch in a leather jacket, head leaned casually on the arm rest. Visible from this selfie angle, discarded on his coffee table, is a laptop open to a word processor. He's deep in thought tonight. ]

Have you ever fallen in love? Have you ever been punched very hard in the face, or perhaps attacked by a pack of starving wolves? For those of you who've done both, would you say the experiences were at all comparable?

[ When the communicator turns on, Jaime's settled in one looks like a computer chair, a large black snake slung over the back of his neck and still dressed in slightly oil-stained coveralls, having clearly just come home from work. ]

Hey everyone. Jaime here. I've just got a couple of questions for you guys. Or... one big one, I guess I should say. We all come from different worlds, but even if we didn't, everyone's got different customs and religions and all that junk. What I was wondering is what you guys do to remember someone - d'you have any rituals, or anything like that? And do you still practice them here?

[ He pauses for a moment, thinking, then pushes on. ]

This isn't actually one of those philosophical questions people ask the network all the time. See, I, um... I came into some money recently - which is at the bank, so don't rob me, 'cause then you won't get any money and we'll both be upset about it - and I want to put it towards something good. Every month, we have people announcing who left on the network, but besides figuring out how to divy out their stuff, that's it. I'd like to figure out how to make a place where people can actually remember the people who've left. Somewhere you could gather everyone who knew them - and maybe give people a place to talk, if they need it.

But I wanna hear from you guys first, 'cause I don't want this to be for just people like me. It's something that'd be for everyone. So if you've got any ideas, let me know.

[A certain reckless driver is in the Emergency Room. The side of his face is nicely bruised, his cheek is cut and, oh yeah, his arm is in a cast.]

Did you know...if you turn a corner too sharply...while racing, cars can flip? I thought I could counteract it, but the frame started to cave in. I lost control and the next thing I knew, I was upside down and the car was...pretty much totaled.

[It probably doesn't look like a car anymore. Good job, Anakin.]

I'm in one piece. [Has he learned his lesson? When does he ever?]

[Private to Padmé.]

Sorry. [His hunger for danger is never-ending. She deserves better.]

[ The video is shaky, almost like the man is walking as he speaks- certainly seems so with how he's holding the camera and how he keeps looking up every few minutes. ]

Unless Thoth is playing some gods-forsaken prank, this doesn't appear to be the Du'at. And my company seems to have... have disappeared.

[ He stops, leveling the device and running his hand through his disheveled, curly hair, sliding it down to his neck that’s covered in obvious bruises. Anxious. Uncertain. Distress wears at the edges of his voice as he clears his throat and tries to speak. ]

I'm looking for a woman named Takara Hurst. My companions are her friends: Tom Sinclair, Sebastien LaHaye, Keiko Yamada, and... And Chauncy Anderson.

If this is some sort of network to communicate across, any leads would be appreciated. Thank you.

( these texts seem like they should be going to just one person (who might that person be? it is a mystery), but it's late and she might have had a few really strong drinks, so. just go with it. )

name one fucking hero who could beat achilles
i fucking dare you
achilles could take on anyone
even heracles
like you know that arrow only hit him bc apollo couldn't keep his grubby little hands to himself
can't show up to a birthday party
but he'll help murder the greatest hero of our time

( listen she just has strong feelings about achilles ok. it has nothing to do with the fact that she definitely pulled an achilles once. let's not talk about that. )
