I'm trying to decide something important to me and likely not to you. Since I can't decide, I'm going to leave it to npcs and randos to tell me their experiences first. That's the best way to get a good, honest, cut and dry isn't it? Asking anonymously and letting the worst of what could be said eek out of the darker corners of your hearts?

So, hero or bystander: What was the most horrible thing you did both back at home, and the most horrible thing you've done here to, or in this place. Maybe to its inhabitants?

Go ahead, try and shock me. Anon me if you have to, lock it if you want to, or be brave and put your name to your sins for the world to see. I don't really care as long as you tell the truth.

[The video opens on Anders. In his arms are an orange tabby and grey Scottish fold wearing small Christmas sweaters.]

Look at them. Aren't they cute?

[The tabby snuggles up with him while the Scottish fold looks like she had murder on the mind for being stuffed into the sweater.]

I actually had to cast a repel glyph on the tree to keep Prince Honeysuckle from trying to climb it. He's such a curious little boy. Aren't you?

[He proceeds to make baby noises at the tabby.]

[ Anakin is sitting on a barrel, it looks like it's painted entirely blue. He's in a course coverall, and there's many different dripples and dabs of paint in various colors. White and blue are the most featured, then black and grey. But there is some yellow and red sneaking in there. There's a fleck of the same blue on Anakin's jaw, and he looks a bit sweaty. ]

When we arrive here, we are assigned a city, an apartment, a job. How many of you have kept those arrangements? What made you change them? If you didn't change them, why not?

[ He rolled his shoulders back, and twisted a little, stretching his back out. ]

I know there's a fair few of us with lightsabers. I'd like to get a bit of a dueling club together, but first we need to hold some classes. So anyone who is Force Sensative and wants to join in, let me know. It can be privately. But I will be holding some basic safety classes first to make sure everyone leaves with everything they brought with them still attached.

[ the video starts and Kaneki has a small nervous smile because using video is always a bit awkward. He is in his apartment house in Maurtia Falls, with tons of books on the shelves behind him. ]

H-hello. We are almost in December, and I guess Christmas is very important here- [ he has noticed all those Christmas decorations and songs, yeah. It's all a bit overwhelming, but he is going to get into the Christmas spirit too ] So I was wondering if anyone would be up for a Christmas dinner? I never had one, neither hosted one, but I think it'd be nice and different.

Me and Katsuki live in Maurtia Falls, and we can host the dinner here at the beginning of the month after the Welcome Ceremony for new imPorts, maybe. For friends, and friends of friends. [ kaneki smiles wider ]

If anyone would like to bring food or drinks you can, but I will be the one cooking, I've been reading a little about popular Christmas dishes.

Happy almost Halloween. I'm not going to reuse my superhero look. I don't feel very heroic these days.

I think I've come up with a costume, or my stylist came up with a costume, that the fans won't recognize me in. The only issue is I'm not sure what to call it. Here's a photo. Goth girl maybe? Halloween girl? I could add some fake blood and call it a zombie costume. It's a little creepy to be an undead creature though, considering that I was dead. Maybe it doesn't need a name.

What are the rest of you imports going to be for Halloween?

You've Got to be Kitten Me! [Video, OTA]

[The feed begins with everyone's favorite speedster grinning like a maniac, with a small bundle of
floof in his hands]

Some of you may have heard about this, but now that vaccines and worms and stuff are fully cleared, I wanted to introduce everyone to my newest housemate! He's a little clingy, so you'll probably see him hanging with me or Kon wherever we happen to be, so if you're allergic to cats, you might want to say so if we're planning to hang out so he can be with the other parent.

But yeah, he's the cutest, and he just wouldn't let go after being rescued. Poor guy clearly has abandonment issues, or at least doesn't like to be alone when he can be with someone. Still trying out names, but mostly he's just the fur-monster and besides, how can you not want to boop that snoot?

[And Bart suits his words to actions before letting the kitten climb up his shirt to perch on a shoulder.]

Anyway, I just wanted to say that he's the luckiest black cat in the world, and if you've never considered a pet, well, there are plenty that would love to consider you! I'm actually talking with a few of the shelters in Heropa to feature some of their older and special needs pets on my stream in the future so stay tuned for more!

[The video comes into focus on Abigail standing on a sidewalk in a costume.]

Kavinsky suggested I get in on this contest. Better late than never, I suppose. I've already donated some of my healing music CDs to hospitals.

[A car drives by at a high rate of speed, swerving off the road and nearly hitting her as it drives past. Abigail looks perfectly calm. She pulls a knife out of her sleeve and throws it at the car, hitting the tire. She does the same with a second knife and the car comes to a stop. She walks over to the car, opening the door and pointing at the driver.]

Drunk driver! He reeks of booze. There's a lot of them that go by here, leaving the bars. They're criminals too. Maybe they'll stop now that Abi-cat? Kitty-gail? Me..now that I'm on the case. So if you see me, don't think I forgot when Halloween was. I'm saving lives really, stopping these guys before they get to busy streets.

[Abigail busies herself with telling an on-looker to call for police and making sure the drunk driver is okay. She leaves the video feed on, in case anyone wants to talk.]

[It had taken a lot of time for Atsushi to even consider college. This world didn't seem to press for it, so he had almost talked himself out of wanting an education. But living with two teachers and their student makes it hard to ignore school and learning. Eventually, he'd decided to look into it... and, naturally, found a disappointing roadblock.

Still. Atsushi is determined to make use of his time here. So even if it's a little bit (very) embarrassing, he figures there is no harm in trying.]

Good day. Sorry to be a bother.

I was wondering what everyone here knew about getting a high school education? Like... Say you're too old to go to high school anymore, but you... can't pass the college acceptance exam as you are now. And you don't even know what a major is exactly... But you're interested.

[He's definitely not talking about himself, he would like to say! But Atsushi is very bad at lying.]

I'm probably not smart enough to do any of the science courses-- I mean. Uh. If the 'you' I'm talking about wasn't smart enough to... [uck] The point is. What kinds of things can you even go to college for that aren't science? If I-- you, could even get in.

[Lying is so exhausting!]

[ Text ]

[ text is easier when you are a bit of a coward and hate facing your issues. So Kaneki is using text! ]

I know it's normal for people to come and go, and sometimes to come back. But how normal is it that some of those people don't remember being here? Specially if they spent years here, I don't understand how memories can vanish just like that.

I was told multiple-universes exist, so maybe that person who was here isn't really me. I wonder where he went to, though, and if he can come back. I think it's a bit unfair to the people left behind who knew him, but I really don't think I'm him. I'm sorry about that, we can be friends again but we would have to start over.

I'm thinking about going back to college but I'm not sure what to expect from this place. Has anyone tried it? Do I need to do anything special in order to enroll or do I just show them my imPort tattoo? [ he is being a bit cheeky, but can you blame him ]

{ 010 } ♔ TEXT

Much has changed over the years, as some of you have seen for yourselves. Many have come and gone. Many have returned remembering this world, while others have returned remembering and knowing nothing.

Next month will mark the third year in which I have taken up residence here. I wouldn't call myself stuck, not particularly, though I know there might be some who would disagree.

So then here is a question for everyone: how long have you been residing here? What have you done or accomplished during your stay? What will you do next?

For me, I believe it is time to obtain some form of official license with piloting. Among other things.

Is there anything about yourself that you would change, if you could?

And do any of you have the ability or powers to change people's physical bodies? Like with magic, or something.

Not science.

[ Science has already let him down. Science led him here. Luther doesn't much savour the idea of another brilliant person with brilliant inventions trying to get beneath his ape-like skin, when he and his father already tried and failed.

There is something to be said for acceptance, and coming to terms with yourself and your new capabilities or lack thereof. Luther isn't there yet. And he has too many memories now, of an entire decade in the City without this albatross around his neck, this anchor around his ankle. Every time he thinks he might have readjusted to his malformed body again, this world delivers him another goddamned reminder of what he's lost: accidentally remaking his own form when dreams became real; his siblings winding up in others' bodies; waking up looking like his teenaged self, from a far simpler time. It rankles; makes it harder each time to feel comfortable again.

So. He asks the question, finally. ]

& ooc: I don't want to permanently 'fix' Luther, but if your character can do it, I would absolutely be open to a change backfiring or working temporarily! Feel free to plot ICly, or reach out OOCly to hash out some details!

013 // accidental video

[There is no preamble—there is just a piercing, horrified scream across the network. Someone might recognize Jane’s voice. Any doubt that it might be someone else flies out the window when Mjölnir flies across the room with a crackle of lightning that momentarily illuminates her bedroom. Then the room is plunged into darkness once more.

It has to be … three in the morning? Panicked, shaky breaths can be heard, along with mutterings that are supposed to be ‘reassuring’.]

It’s not here. It’s not here. It can’t hurt anyone. They sealed it away. It’s gone.

[Or, at least, she is attempting to be. She sighs deeply.]

This has got to stop.

[OOC: This takes place a few days after this wonderful fiasco.]

17 👶 TEXT; UN: DREAMTHIEF

Scream into pillow, go for a coastal hike. Bone down with randos. White boy dreads. Animate some self-replicating broomsticks to do your bidding. I heard setting yourself on fire gets basic after you done it once or twice, so I'm exploring my options.

Fencing. Uno. Wood working. Euphemism. Foogle says "tree-bathing" is a thing and it got a Japanese name.

Maybe > coping strategies is the wrong keyword. If you can do me one better, I'll take it.

[Video]

[And the screen cuts on to see a red-headed girl with her face a mixture of relief and confusion, muttering before it grows louder]

Heropa? Then, it's not Vale or even near Beacon. What's happened to Beacon, though? There's... there's no way I could have survived. Not with that woman aiming at me... even my heel has healed, though...

[She blinks as she looks down at the screen, noticing it on]

Oh, did I turn this on? I'm sorry, I was...

[She sighs]

...this isn't the afterlife, is it? If it is, then this is a very strange afterlife.

If I could have everybody's attention...

There are many heroes here and ... those of a more dubious nature. I would ask all of you to fill out the following very important poll.

( ImPort Powers Research Poll )

Your participation in this research is appreciated. Any outlier comments or questions can now be left and I will respond, if necessary.

Sooooo...

Here's a question. What's the weirdest thing one of your fans has ever done? Or, like, the weirdest piece of content you've ever found?

Because I just found there are bwitter accounts dedicated to trying to prove I'm not actually dating my girlfriend? I thought it was a joke but they're in like, a flame war with someone whose really into it... Like, I know I shouldn't be reading it, but I just can't look away.

[ oh, right, wait, also need to be responsible. ]

Oh, right, almost forgot. Hi, I'm Josh Foley. I work at De Chima General. If you've got weird medical needs or something you need fixed, I'm your dude.

Video - 001 - Expert Performance

[When the camera comes on, it will show a woman in a red uniform. There is no adornment on it save for a small, brass American eagle over a flag. The pin had been a cheap trinket, but she knows full well that this country enjoys theatrics. A few days watching television had taught her that much.]

Greetings and salutations. My name is Ysanne Isard, and I felt I should introduce myself to everyone here. I wasn't expecting my arrival to attract any attention - well, I wasn't expecting to arrive at all! - but I felt given the attention it has created I should say hello.

[She had made sure of the lighting, of course, and her makeup was perfect. She was finding so far that this country had a rather on-again/off again relationship with authenticity. Presentation mattered, but it is her manner that really makes her look far younger than her forty-odd years. She is an expert in seeming - and her performance is flawless.]

[Everything about her radiates ease, and friendliness. She could be a friend, or an older sister. She's hidden in characters for so long that she learned the secret: believe it a little bit yourself.]

I come from a universe of strife, and conflict. I thought I had reached my end and then...[Her voice cracks, just ever so slightly, and she clears her throat.] then I was given a second chance. This country of yours...it is a wonderful one, full of opportunity that I intend to strive for.

And I'd like to help. Your country has given me a life, and I promise you all I will give back.

My name is Ysanne Isard. And I'm here to help.

[Luxord is not very comfortable with these 'phones' that people use here. They're like Gummiphones but more complex and troublesome. What's worse, at the moment his is very hard to operate. For instance, he intended to set up an audio post, and believes he has. Instead there is a video of Luxord. Sort of. To those that know him it will look mostly like Luxord. For everyone else, well, haven't you ever wanted to watch one of those overly detailed Play Arts figures come to life? Because that's what is on screen, right down to the articulated arms and joints, and hands frozen into certain positions.

You want uncanny valley? The plastic man doesn't blink. Instead it's like the detail of his eyes goes away, replaced by a closed-eyes face, and then back. Too fast for even super speed to see anything MOVE. Just open eyes. Eyes blinking closed. Open eyes. Creepy. Worse is his mouth, that moves a bit like old fashioned video game or cartoon characters. Closed to open a little, open a lot, and back. Lots of times. LIke it's painted on.

Truth of the matter was that his awkwardly shaped and plastic hands accidentally hit video feed instead of audio only, and so the camera has him at a strange angle, and moves around jerkily as he attempts to gesture within his very limited range of motion. But hey, at least he's still life-sized.]

Forgive me for the intrusion while everyone is so clearly so excitedly engaged in the most recent amusement that this world has cooked up for us without any clear sense of supervision to control its over-eager bluster. However I have found myself in a position of needing recommendations on a proper cleaning solution for plastic collectibles, one which will not dissolve the plastic or the paint. It seems I've unwittingly come into possession of a rather impressive collection there of and until such time as this issue is remedied, I do still wish to preserve the mint condition of it.

[In other words, help, somebody spilled jam upon him and he needs to clean up.]

[ Kaneki waves a little when the video comes up. He still doesn't know how to start these video posts, but he is doing his best ]

Hello. I'm Ken Kaneki. [ maybe he shouldn't introduce himself everytime, but ah well ] I arrived last month, so last month it was my first Swear-in. It was surprising. To say the least...

But I wanted to ask about Registration. I was wondering what is the point, if it's better to register or not, and if there is anything else to it that they might not tell us. And.. yeah, that's it.

Thank you! [ with a small polite nod, Kaneki turns off the feed ]

[ Kaneki did not enter his new house in De Chima #1, instead he is standing in front of it, looking very unsure of he should go in, despite being told that's where he lives now. The video feed will start with him looking up at the building for a second and then smiling back at the camera - it's totally a nervous smile ]

Hello- I hope this is on. [ oh this is very awkward. ] I'm Ken Kaneki, 18 years old and I come from Tokyo, Japan. I have just arrived so I'm still trying to figure things out. This is all a bit too surreal...

I was given a house and a job. I don't mind the house but the job is a little... [ bad, the job is bad ] I wonder if I could pick something else.

[ He is still smiling though, and his uncovered eye looks down while Kaneki tries to figure out what else to say. No, he knows what to say, but how to say it...? ] Is there a way to know who comes from where? I'd like to know if there are other people from my world here. [ he can't just downright ask if someone is a ghoul, after all ]

... and coffee. If anyone knows where I can get good coffee, I think I need a big cup right now. [ this is waaaaaay too awkward ] Thank you.

[ and with a small head bow, he turns off the feed ]
