WILL YOU HELP SAVE THE WORLD?

Mask or Menace is a panfandom urban 'superhero' genre DWRP game, where heroes, villains, and everyone in between seek to survive and thrive in a world loosely parallel to our own.

( the whole thing comes through not using the device but almost psychicly. lilith had set herself up, meditative state to expand her reach, divining in her sense for other witches, magic users of any form.

once she's located them the message comes, short and simple, clear voice not quite speaking into their minds but leaving an impression. a message )

My name is Lilith -- a witch from Greendale. Given the unusual situation we find ourselves in I thought it prudent to seek out other witches, gather our magical strength against what may come.

The devices will help you to contact me -- for questions, perhaps a meeting. Consider it.

( and then she's gone, the feeling of power that had rubbed with her message fading away. perhaps it interests perhaps it doesn't but she's curious )

( ooc: lilith's setting up a coven! whilst the initial contact from lilith is not on the network characters can use this post for that sweet network response/to contact her and in a week I'll put a log up for that first coven meeting/meet'n'greet )

If it cannot break its egg's shell, a chick will die without being born.
We are the chick. The world is our egg.
If we do not crack the world's shell, we will die without truly being born.

Smash the world's shell!
For the Revolution of the World!

Since the world is apparently ending, I have two questions:

1. Who is actually planning to do something about it, and how do we sign up?

2. Who's throwing the Halloween parties? I know a couple hundred imPorts that need one or five.

[Chaos and imminent destruction means miss placed humor.]

[Mysterio is dressed in full costume to present his latest motivational speech, to be a literal light in these troubling times, and he speaks grandly, with earnest punctuation in his emphasis and tone.]

This month has brought much turmoil and dark days to this world but I am here today to tell you to stay strong and together we will all overcome this. Whatever horrors or terrors that have been visited upon us shall be destroyed, whether it is an undead hoarde or ghosts of the past, let us all stand firm against this adversity.

You can survive. You can be greater. You can move forward and into a brighter day.

Let my words give you the strength to fight. To be a hero for yourself and to rise up and vanquish these dark enemies. Find support in others. Find support in your hearts. Your souls. Let your intelligence guide you. Find your friends and help them. Help a stranger.

But most of all, help yourself. Believe in yourself and others will believe in you.

May I play, as well?

If you don't find that particularly fun or interesting... Can you tell me what you think of Heroism?

[ The video blips to life to showcase the familiar interior of Residence #001 in Maurtia Falls, a place some might recognized as Magnus's house if they've been there before. The camera shakes a little, the view of the living room growing distant as someone walks into the kitchen instead. Once the feed stops shaking about and is settled atop the dinner table, Sabrina plops down before it so she's in full view.

She looks different, naturally. Her blond curls now a peculiar shade of platinum and wearing vibrant red lipstick, a stark contrast to her black outfit. For those who pay sharp attention to details, she does look a touch older, as if it's been a few months for a teenager still maturing into her features.

It has, for her anyway. ]

Clearly a lot has happened while I was away. I thought blood loss might have made me hallucinate things, but did I seriously see some sort of Blob-esque monster on the news in De Chima? The reporters said it's gone, but... what the hell happened?

[ Hell's bells, this place.

She clears her throat right after, setting her hands on the table now. ]

Before that though, I need to apologize to those who had a run-in with someone that ran around posing as me a couple of weeks ago. From what I heard, she hurt a few people and caused a lot of trouble for others. I don't know what spells she tried to cast on others, but I'm so sorry that happened in the first place. If I had had my magic...

[ Sabrina's jaw clenches for a moment. ]

If there's anything I can do, I want to make it up to you.

I have been wondering... For those of you not from Earth (or from an Earth significantly different from this one), what do you think of humans?

Humans can also tell me what they think of humans. I don't mind.

Do you have favorites? Do you have frustrations? Are you enjoying your stay?

( Bless, Peter taught her how to use the network but not how to filter privately, so everyone gets to see. She'd be sorry if she had any shame, but...she doesn't. At least not for this. )

Hey Dolphin Boy, meet at the Porter in Heropa on Saturday around half past five? I wanted to go a bit later, but I also don't want to risk missing the last bus to get back to the Porter when we've finished, so hopefully the beach won't be too busy at that hour.

codeoracle

We uh...Heropa 001 has an empty room now.

[Anyone who regularly talks to Futaba might notice her voice is quiet, contemplative. She hasn't sounded this withdrawn in a while.]

If anyone knew Utena, some of her things are still here but her signal is gone. I'm sure she'd want her friends to have something if they wanted it...I'll be here for anyone that wants to come by.

[OOC: I will be posting a log either tomorrow or Thursday if anyone wants to play out coming by H001~!]

What does it mean to revolutionize the world?

Maybe that's not the right question. I don't want the definition of the word or anything.

For you, specifically, for YOUR OWN, PERSONAL WORLD... What one thing would you do to revolutionize it? What one thing could allow you to live the way you want?

Do you have the power to accomplish that task?

[ Guess who's back who's back again? ]

Heh. So I'm back again. Thankfully, I don't think you call can get rid of me quite so easily.

[ For those new to the party, Woden's helmet is in full view of the screen, his camera the only reflection. He's sure to take up the whole thing, so his specific location can't be defined from the helmet's reflection. His tone is musical and amused, like he's just experienced something funny. ]

You know what the amusing thing is? I'd already been punished for my earlier transgressions. I'd been killed and beheaded for the things I had done. Beyond that? I've been quiet. I've lived my life, I didn't even interact with the people who felt so... betrayed by my actions. I kept my nose clean -- [ A beat, and a tip of his helmet. ] -- relatively.

Do you know what being good? What being quiet and diminuitive got me? It got me murdered in my own home. [ He leans back, now, and he's most certainly not at home. He, in fact, looks to be in the middle of nowhere, a dark room, other than the bright whites of screens that illuminate from behind the camera. They are all static in his helmet. ] Let me reiterate, for no reason. I did nothing, and because of my reputation, or my odiousness, someone thought it would be fun to murder me.

I would like you all to think on that, the next time someone speaks ill of another person's reputation here. We are... the sum of our actions, yes, but for some, those actions are immediately forgiveable. For others, it doesn't matter how many times we are killed, or punished. It's never enough, to try to change our lives, and make up for it. It's ironic, how easily manipulated you all are, isn't it? How you all don't even question the people you trust?

I digress. I suspect I'm only complaining into the void, regardless.

[ A pause, and he lifted a finger, as if he had another point, his helmet tipped. ]

I suppose I should wish all the other fellow fathers out there, a happy father's day, shouldn't I?

[ On radio stations throughout the various Porter cities, a new talkshow is being advertised: ImPort Diagnosis. When it finally airs, the announcer gives his usual patter to hype it up. ]

"We're pleased to introduce a new weekly segment to our schedule lineup! Please welcome your new insider source to the imPort community and the host of ImPort Diagnosis, Knock Out!"

[ Knock Out's voice comes on, smooth and unflappable; if anything, he definitely seems like he's used to carrying a one-sided conversation and not unnerved by the thought of an audience. ]

Let's dive right in: if you've ever wondered whether we imPorts spend time thinking about Big Concepts, you're in luck: there's been a spate of imPorts pondering those very things lately. From anguished musings about justice to questioning one's true purpose, from finding one's life trajectory to the never-poignant matters of existence, imPorts deal with the same existential concepts as you do, our most gracious world hosts.

And why is this important to know? Because sometimes imPort actions can seem discordant with the image of touchless paragons that they are to the public. And it is this doctor's opinion: that is a good thing. It reminds both sides that they're not so different from one another. A touchstone of commonality, as it were.

[ It's clear by the way Knock Out's waxing poetic that he likes the sound of his own voice just as much as the radio show producers are hoping listeners do. ]

Finally: it's been a rough month for your favourite imPorts. Next time you see one of them on the street, cheer them up with a hug. Preferably in public, and persistently. Don't let your heroes suffer alone!

[ He's not sorry. ]

[ Klaus fumbles with his camera, standing outside of a bookstore that seems to have a few new items on display. ]

Uh... guys?

[ He pans over a display of comics that seem to feature... him and his siblings, should anyone actually read them. ]

We have a slight situation here.
So much for the anonymity- Jesus Christ, where did they even get these...

[ Guess who meant to send this as a message to said siblings and instead posted it on the Network? This guy. ]

(( OOC: Just in case there is any confusion, these comics are NOT the real-world Umbrella Academy comics, but an in-universe comic book from the Netflix adaptation. You can see them in Episode 1x03, "Extra Ordinary"))

Good afternoon, everyone.

[ Always with the niceties, this one.

Haru is seated comfortably on her bed, above the bed frame on the wall a small, impressionistic painting by a local artist hangs. To the right one can make out a couple of succulents and what looks to be a Venus flytrap sitting on a small plant shelf next to the bed. ]

Today I have officially been in this world a year. I've seen many of us imPorts make posts over the time I've been here about their own anniversaries, sometimes even doing something for it, although... [ She leans back against the frame, drawing her knees close. ] Now that the time has come for me, I am not quite sure how to feel. I thought I would feel something, maybe sadness or happiness, but it's really quite ambivalent.

I mean, I do miss my friends, many of whom were ported home over the year. But I still have others here from home.

[ Haru smiles shyly, then shakes her head. ]

Perhaps this ambivalence is because I haven't occupied myself with as much as I thought I would. Maybe it is time to learn something new? I've been so focused on my gardening and schooling that I don't think I've made any real attempts to do something new. And while I am here I probably should learn something new and exciting, yes? What do you think?

It has been some time since we have set a public message here. We want all imPorts to know: We are still willing and happy to assist you.

The Dark Brotherhood provides murder to all who require it, for a price. Clients remain anonymous unless requested. We do not require explanation. If you complete the Black Sacrament, we know that you are committed to your desire. Perform this ritual, and we will be summoned.

For all others, we provide free instruction in methods to remain anonymous on the Network, or to change the name that appears with your messages. Simply ask, and we will isntruct you.

Finally, we will answer other questions about us, within reason. We cannot betray the confidence of our family members, after all.
