( She's sitting in her bedroom on the edge of her bed and, around her, there are loads of different-sized glass figures ranging from the single life-size attempt that she's tried to push sort of out of the line of sight of the camera and the tiny actual-size ladybug figurines on the little table beside her bed.

The large piece is pushed aside because it's a bit sloppy, given it's a first try, but because her room is largely a mess out of the peripheral of the camera, it's still sort of visible, looking a little bit like a slightly-melted version of a female warrior with Wonder Woman-esque attire, a sword in one hand and an especially melty-looking shield in the other. She tried, okay?

Right now? Rikki should be at work, but she's skipping it. Today, she wants to take some of her pieces out to the beach to see if she can just sell off some of the little ones that look much better to get her name out there, but she needs a couple of things, first.

Thus, the video.

Her expression is determined and her Australian accent is very present in the uncharacteristically serious tone when she speaks a moment after adjusting the camera to center her in the picture. )

Okay, so...I'm looking for someone who's good at graphic design and someone who knows how to build a good website. If those someones are actually the same person, that's even better.

I can pay you, but not a lot. I'll be able to make it more once I've sold some of these later on, but I can pay you a deposit or something up front. I'd really like to see some examples of what you can do before I do that, but I figure there must be someone here who does that sort of thing, yeah?

I'd rather keep it with the imPorts, but if there's no one, I'll just start looking round for a local who can. Anyone?

[The video focuses on Kenzi sitting on the couch in Kang's place, for those familiar. She's flipping through a book with Sir Apple curled around her neck. Her normally straightened hair has taken on a bit of a curly frizz thanks to the humidity in Heropa.]

Everyone else seems to have done their "So the world didn't end, what now?" posts and I guess it’s time for mine. Yeah, I'm like two or so weeks late on that but I been partying it up in Thailand, sue me.

[She loudly snaps the book closed which causes the little dragon to start and launch himself from Kenzi’s shoulders in surprise. She jerks forward and brings a hand up to rub her shoulder as she watches the dragon rush off.]

Ow, dude. Ow.

[She turns her attention to the comm.]

I'm curious. When's the last time there was, like, a fancy ball or date auction or something? I mean, I can't really organize something that, I don’t have that kinda money, buuuuut any excuse to dress up all fancy is my jam.

That said, I'm moving out of Jeopardy. I'm not sure I'm ever setting foot back there after all that mess. Not to mention it’s just plain [shudder] creepy.

I'm thinking about moving back to Maurtia Falls. Not sure why I was avoiding it. Figured I'd check out the Red Branch and see what kind of state the building might be in if it's still there and not, like, owned by someone else. Thing is, it's been a while and I'm sure there's prob, like, squatters or teenagers that have taken over the place as their clubhouse or whatever. So anyone wanna go with?

At the very least, it could be a fun outing in the Falls.

[There’s a pause before she adds] I owe the creation of a sword. When you wanna get together and do that?

Hello, fellow imPorts. I'm Dr. Eli Ever, a neuroscientist with the United States Department of Health and Human Services.

[ He looks barely old enough to drink, but ooooookay. ]

I'm sure you don't need me to tell you we have a medical emergency on our hands here in Maurtia Falls and De Chima. The terrorist responsible has already taken credit for the incident and it's been discovered that the contamination is being spread through the water supply. To stress what's already been said: Do not come into contact with the local water supply in the affected cities.

My colleagues are currently investigating the situation and we're all hard at work on a treatment plan. In the meantime, I'm seeing patients at the NIH facilities at ground zero in Maurtia Falls. If you or someone you know is experiencing symptoms, please contact me immediately and arrange for transportation to one of our clinics. If you even suspect you might develop symptoms, do not operate a vehicle yourself. Experiencing a hallucination while driving could lead to a fatal accident and it isn't worth the risk to you or the people around you.

Be on the lookout for aggressive behavior, restlessness, disorientation, unwanted thoughts, paranoia, nightmares, or waking hallucinations. If you begin to experience delusions, such as the belief that others are conspiring against you, seek help immediately. People experiencing induced psychosis may be dangerous to themselves and others.

I'm here to help. If someone you know is in crisis and can't be relocated, let me know and I'll come to you. I'll take any questions you have here, although I can't promise that we have the answers just yet.

[ Cool, he'd been in De Chima earlier today and he supposes that means he's already contaminated if these people aren't dicking around. Thus, he looks as pissed off as he is, because literally? Since he's gotten here, it's been nothing but one nightmare after another. What the actual fuck? ]

Oh my God, why is this place such a fucking shit show?! What's a guy gotta do to go the fuck home? This is fucking ridiculous.

Real talk: does it ever stop? Literally ever? This is fucking bullshit.

[ And people wonder why he thinks they all need fucking therapy. ]
