[Hello MoMsters, have a faintly-frowning Satsuki in a rather ornate paladin costume on the screen before she turns the camera around and to...

Well, this.]


Will this be sufficient candy to hand out before I head to that party?

[How much candy is enough candy to give to children cause Satsuki sure as heck doesn't know.]

I get that there are bigger things going on, but I'm looking for a fork and knife I can't bite through.

[He'll lift up the evidence to the camera. It's a metal fork with the prongs neatly severed as if by, say, super strong teeth? This is the fourth he's been through this week. Really has to stop reading the network or other interesting things while he's having lunch.

Laugh it up, swim buddies (you know who you are). This is a legitimate issue at this point. He can't keep buying silverware, and with things as they are, he's not of a mind to go to the government over this. Rather have another 'Port-friend give him an alternative.

Can't even enjoy the holiday with this looming over him!]


I don't have much saved up, but if you have a solution, let's talk.

So that's it?

[The ID reads Clark Kent. He's been told before that when he’s angry he stops putting an act and his identity shines through to those observant enough, so he decided against video or audio. But this whole think is making him so mad he wants to scream and he had to let some of it out somehow.]

We’re going to be used as political pawns? We’re going to let them claim our alliance in whichever way they prefer because we apparently didn’t meet a quota of people saved in Bulgaria?

We’re talking lives lost, people who got injured. We’re talking people who had lives and friends and family who will never see them again. And they are using them as numbers. Both sides are.

It makes me sick.

[Even if you have never personally had a mother, you can easily recognize this look: the Very Disappointed Mother Look.]

I am very disappointed in some of you!

[so disappointed]

It's bad enough that poor Belgium lost so many people in those terrible attacks! [CLOSE ENOUGH] Did you really have to steal from them? Stealing from healthy people is low enough; stealing from people who are dying or hurt or have legs blown off, why, that's the lowest of the low!

Wouldn't you be sad if you lost your leg and then you learned the Mona Lisa was missing? That would just make everything even worse! That's why Museum Director-san is so upset, even though he isn't missing any legs!

[AHEM] And so I ask, very nicely, that whoever stole the Mona Lisa and anything else from Museum Director-san return them immediately, with a note saying how very sorry you are for stealing from legless people!

... Ah, right! [sounding more cheerful] I've also gotten a nice card for Captain Holiday-san! [holds up card; it says GET WELL SOON and has an injured yet smiling sun on it] I hope everyone will sign it, so he'll know we all hope he'll feel better soon! It's pinned up right outside my door [actually nailed] so anyone walking by can sign it! Thank you!

So I see this place's true colors have begun to show.

A shame. I had high hopes that the governing body in this place wasn't as all-talk as they had seemed.

I suppose it cannot be helped if they cannot control the unintelligent.

[A slow exhale, and she cuts her eyes toward the camera, expression flat and judgmental.]

Inumuta, Sanageyama, Gamagoori. We should take measures.



[Kiryuin Satsuki is coming to burn your metaphorical kingdoms down.]

PRIVATE FROM TAILGATE | AUDIO;

Okay, so. So.

I think I have a big conundrum here! I'm pretty sure that I have a d-date. But I don't know anything about human styles or fashion or anything like that and I no idea what to wear oh man oh scrap.

So I need help! Does anyone know what I should wear for a date? I'm trying to figure out where we should eat too, but I have no idea what to do. He likes... ice cream. Lots of ice cream.

Can anyone offer any advice?

I only took off "work" for a little bit but I sure as hell didn't feel up to coming back. First one in what? Four million years?

You know that saying about ignorance is bliss? Really feeling that right about now. I don't regret it at all. It was long overdue.

Just don't share living space with Thundercracker. The guy's snoring is as loud as his sonic booms. I'm pretty sure he was trying to land a fighter jet in there. I think that might be the deal breaker in our partnership, buddy.

[Settled carefully in her living room, there's the faint sound of voices in the background that indicates Satsuki is watching television.]

I had intended to put myself through viewing this for the sake of research in furthering my own current assigned career, however...

[Her face contorts into an expression somewhere between confusion and displeasure.]

I cannot understand how any of these people are meant to be the next top anything with their lack of self-control.

[...yeah, she sure is watching ANTM for research. Someone's voice rises in the background and Satsuki calmly picks the remote up and mutes.]

Such behavior... it's disgraceful.

[And yet, she can't stop watching.]

[ The feed opens on an attractive woman sitting on a standard-issue Heropan Housing couch, smiling with friendly demeanor at the camera. She has long, shimmery blond hair tied up in a high ponytail, bright blue eyes, and eyelashes thick enough to smother a fire. She's definitely the type to know how to prepare to be on camera, because that makeup is flawless; you can't even see her pores. (If... she even has them... ?)

She waves at the camera.
]

Good evening, everyone! I'm Barbie. I arrived here a few weeks ago, but things have been so crazy, I haven't had a chance to talk to you all! I'm super excited to meet you.

Now, I'll admit, becoming a "Registered Hero" isn't what I had planned for this month... or this year! But I've heard about what sort of trouble this place is in, and there's no way I can turn down a request for help so dire. There are so many dangers here... like spies! And kidnappers! And, worst of all... undersized sunglasses!

[ Conspiratorial, with her hand near her mouth for a secret: ] That's a fashion misdemeanor in Malibu. [ And with that out of the way, she straightens back up, her expression warm and welcoming. For someone that looks like she walked out of a makeup commercial (or maybe one for shampoo?), her friendliness and bubbly mood both seem very sincere. ]

While I'm here, I'm going to do everything I can to help. I may only be a toothpaste spokesmodel right now—

[ In what is clearly a practiced gesture, Barbie slips an object out of her purse without looking away from the camera, and for a short, smiling pose brandishes a tube of Gum Belle® brand toothpaste—and did her teeth just sparkle on cue? That had to be a trick of the light, right?—before slipping it out of sight as if the whole promo never happened. ]

—But if you need a doctor, or a gymnastics coach, or an engineer, or a fashion designer, or a life guard, or an astronaut, or a dolphin trainer... well, you get the idea! Or even if you just need a friend to talk to, I'll be right here in Heropa.

I hope we can all be great friends.

[Oh, great. It's everybody's favorite nihilistic dead jerk of a villain. Just in case anyone forgot he was still on the lam.]

Content warning for a jerk waxing poetic about his deathwish )

So what's the point of this? Nothing, really. Just some thoughts. But I wanted to issue a warning to everyone.

I'm coming back to Heropa, soon. I'm going to set my plans into motion once more. I won't go into details on how or what I'm doing, but I want everyone to be aware. I'll be there. And I'll be working again.

And if you see me, I want you to come and stop me. If you believe so strongly in your stupid justice, I want you to bring me to justice. Confront me. Make me pay. Kill me and put a stop to me once and for all.

Why? Because I'm a villain. And you're all supposed to be heroes. So do something about it.

If you don't, you may be the next person I take over. I can make you do whatever I want you to, and there's nothing you can do to stop it. I can control anyone I like. I could make you commit more crimes. Another murder. Maybe a real one this time.

Don't like it? Good. Then come and get me.

[This communicator has been hacked.

Attached to the broadcast is the alias LUNATIC, a name some of you may have come to know by now, though most of you will not have. Not to worry, of course. There will be plenty of opportunity in the future...]


I have been watching.

[The speaker's voice has been manipulated to sound both artificial and faintly hollow.]

There are sinners in your midst. [You know their names, don't you? Perhaps some of them even spring to mind: Lucifer, The Manipulator, Annie Leonhart, Reiner Braun, Bertholdt Hoover...and so on. It's possible you even sympathize with some of them, though it's clear the speaker does not.] You answer their crimes with rewards of friendship, forgiveness...and freedom.

Foolishness.


[What follows is clearly exasperated, but spoken in such quiet tones that it forces listeners to be all the more attentive.]

As expected, heroes...your idea of justice...is weak.

But that is why I have come.


[The speaker pauses, perhaps for dramatic effect, for when he begins again there is a certain zealousness to his tone.]

My name...is Lunatic.

[Do not mistake him for a hero.]

I will strike down the evil that has arisen. For the wicked ones...there will be no escape. The time for them to atone for their atrocities is now.

They will hear the voice of Thanatos.


[Those listening closely may hear the crackling and hissing of flames in the background...it grows louder and louder before the communication is suddenly cut and the line goes dead.]




[OOC: Please note that icon links have been broken. This broadcast in no way reveals the connection between Yuri and Lunatic.]

[005] VIDEO

[It- doesn't exactly seem like the best time to be recording this- and not because of what's going lately around er- ya know, events and that... just-

well, because of Gamagori's current- situation.]

[And by that I mean he appears to be half naked, and squatting under a rather huge bar on what appears to be a weight lifting machine. Sitting in that squatted position and flexed out, the weight he's still lifting appears to be actively burdening his upper body. Though he's holding it up rather well, despite how sweaty he is, and despite the um- myriad of wounds he's sporting. Though anyone that was in the Summer Games with him would know about those. He took some heavy damage during it, countless blades, bites, and bombs have went after this man and most of the time he just stood and took it to make sure no one behind him got hit. So yeah- despite all those wounds, bloody and broken, most wrapped up, but some missing their bandaging, he's holding up the weight rather well.]

[The recording seems like it might be a more- casual one, how he finally looks to the camera, a large frown on his face, only to suddenly-]


GOOD AFTERNOON iMPORTS! RECENTLY TRANSPORTED AND THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN OCCUPYING THIS WORLD FOR SOME TIME NOW! I am Gamagori Ira. Registered imPort and CAPE CANAVERAL BOOT CAMP INSTRUCTOR!

[Honestly, did any of you who know him expect any different? Yells with such deep vigor even while currently weight training. Hey- he has to keep his image, right?]

[But after that he'll lower his volume and close his eyes, brows furrowed, thoughtful for a moment.]


First- let me congratulate all those who successfully made it through the previous battle we've fought. I was proud to stand beside you all.

And then- I just wanted to say something aside from that, it came to me, this is unoffical, so feel free to dismiss it now if you are busy. I felt it good advice, and I will share it with you! If you will listen. [Eyes open again, intent.]

Many of the things that happen here we seem to be unprepared for. Be it the setting, be it our prior experiences or lack of them! We must start to be ready for anything, any and all this place throws at us, no matter what direction and who directly it shall come from! It is important to be as water- to roll and move with what influences us, and to crash and swallow when it comes time!

But even then, even without being prepared, with being so, we will sustain many wounds, scars- but you must remember to wear them with pride! Never consider a mark a badge of failure! BUT EVEN THEN REMEMBER, your body is to be RESPECTED. [A hmph, looking intensely to the camera.]

So be good to it, and do not feel shame in getting your wounds tended to, especially if they continue to pain you through time! NURSE YOUR WOUNDS, ANY AND ALL, THOSE FROM FRIEND AND FOE ALIKE! We must rely on eachother. For here, we are all we have, here we are connected, and even if your families are brought here to join us, many of us still can live as a family, and help support eachother!!!

[Silences after that, taking a breath. And finally he'll push up on those weights and hook them back into place behind him, sitting up a little before leaning forward and resting an elbow on his knee.]

Thank you for listening and welcome to any who have just arrived!!

This morning, several buses en route from the NCYL Leadership Summer Camp never made it to the airport. Several of our fellow ImPorts were on these buses, as well as a large number of civilian teenagers. I've just gotten word that one of the buses was found down a ravine, filled with luggage and personal items. All the people onboard were missing.

There have been no statements made yet, but I think it's safe to assume that they've been taken.

There are some unusual transmissions coming out of Colorado. Encrypted and weak, but it’s a start. I'm doing my best to locate the source of these signals, but it's slow going.

In the meantime, there are things people can do to help. We need people on the ground out there looking for clues, leads, anything. Those of you interested in search and rescue parties: be cautious. We don’t know what we’re dealing with yet.

If we work together, we can do this.


[ Attached is a set of coordinates corresponding to the site of the bus crash, as well as the names of the missing campers and counselors. ]

(OOC: This is the network kickoff for the Summer Games plot. The corresponding log that will go up later today! I won't be around to tag everything, but please use this for all your IC coordination needs. )

[Here is a message sent out relatively early in the morning; those that live the life of a nine-to-fiver will probably catch it if checking the network is part of their morning routine.

Senketsu is in the kitchen. The sound of water simmering is in the background as breakfast cooks.
]

Good morning, everyone.

Although I know that there is a great diversity of cultures from the world of my origin, my knowledge of each one of them is woefully slim. What kinds of food people eat and why...what they wear and what it means to them...and perhaps the most peculiar: spirituality and religion. Since we live in a world where people are brought in from other universes, our diversity is even greater.

So I ask you, fellow imPorts: What kind of culture do you come from? What parts of it mean the most to you, and what about it would you change if you could?

Thank you for your time.

[Filtered to Kanaya Maryam]

If you would be so kind, would you get a hold of me at your convenience? There's something I'd like to ask of you.

I can figure out how to use those machines later… At least this one is easier to use.

[The communicator is on the floor, initially only showing what appears to be a bucket of soapy water with a washboard in it… But, then it’s adjusted slightly, and there’s Sukuyo, smiling. She keeps her attention on it as she starts washing clothes in the bucket, as if this is something she’s more than used to.]

Ah, I hope none of my new housemates mind, but I took the liberty of cleaning up a little! I mopped the floors, washed the windows, made the beds… [Yes, House 30, she went in everyone’s room. Everyone’s. And it’s obvious that she didn’t do just that, as she lifts up whatever she was cleaning on the washboard… and it’s underwear. Your underwear? Probably.] I’m doing the laundry, too! You can’t be a superhero without clean clothes!

If any other house is behind on their chores, I'd be more than willing to help out! This is what a housewife does!

[Someone...is not a happy camper. Granted, that's Metalhawk whenever something isn't going his way, anyone who knows him from his 'past life' will tell you. But today? He's going to be vocal about it. After learning basic human needs from many sources: Bumblebee, Trucy, Knock Out, and Ed to name a few...he's learned that humans are incredibly needy creatures, needing to eat more than once a day and in a regular schedule. It's been a learning experience to say the least.

It's not so much the habit itself. Metalhawk's used to consuming things for energy. But it's more like WHAT they consume.

So allow him to be his oh so charming self. ...Sigh.]


Good Evening citizens--[God you don't have to sound like a broadcast...] It's come to my attention that my stay here will be for an indeterminate amount of time. However, that's not why I'm broadcasting.

No, I'm broadcasting because of this.

[And he holds up what looks like a...wrapped hamburger. Like you'd get at a fast food joint. His other hand is reaching offscreen, holding back what seems to be a struggling person, the mutters of 'give it back!' and other such exclamations from our friendly neighborhood Bumblebee.]

Am I seriously finding out that humans consume other living creatures? Other creatures that show pain or pleasure?

[That certainly is Varying Shade of Unimpressed #45D on his face right now. And yes, this is apparently his problem.]

[Today is a nice looking day weather-wise and even Gabriel is chilled out, sat at a table outside the coffee shop. His chocolate orange mocha latte seems to be the kind where you either drink it or climb it.]

Couple of things been brought to my attention, guys. First one is the paintball thing. I don't normally do crap for this place, but this time I'm joining in on the fight. Team Unregistered are totally going to win it and I dare anyone to prove otherwise. You're all going down to China Town. It'll be good for a laugh, everyone's been so serious recently. Will be good to get out.

Secondly, I have a major sweet tooth but I'm trying to figure out why anyone would even put black licorice in their mouths. Answers on a postcard and sent to any apartment number that strikes your fancy.

[Takes a moment to scrunch a napkin up, pegging it at a random passerby.]

Lastly that other guy from before mentioned I die a lot when I help. For the record that's utter baloney, ignore it. He's a jerkwad anyway.

Alright, done. Go back to your whatever you were doings. [Feel free to harass him in person, the coffee shop is a popular one.]

ImPorts, is it?

[The young woman on camera looks stern and uncompromising- though that may just be the natural slant of her eyebrows, the usual set for her lips. Regardless, she takes a moment as if making sure she knows what she wants to say, and then squaring her shoulders, continues-]

We have been brought here for a purpose, and although the ends are a mystery, the fact that we are the means speaks volumes! So tell me-

[Tilting her chin up, she looks imperious- someone who's used to command, control- and with almost surprising charisma (and oh my god, is that backlighting? How?), continues-]

What will you do if the ends do not suit you? If they are less than savory? Will you continue to obey those who have brought us here?

[She settles back into her chair, folding her hands over each other, and raises her eyebrows.]

It's only right that I know what sort of people I am meant to cooperate with, after all.
