[Walter is doing the walk-and-talk method of recording himself. Based on the cityscape around him, it looks like he's walking through Heropa.]

I have come to learn that there was once an institute in this world designed specifically by and for imPorts. Those who were heading the project have since returned to their own worlds, but what of us? I think it could be of great use. That's why I'm working to reestablish this institution, but I will need some assistance to make that happen. 

The same original opportunities would apply as before: classes for people of all ages and education levels, teaching positions for those hoping to change careers, and dorm housing for both Registered and Unregistered imports. There will also be practice spaces geared for honing one's own powers, and classes for learning self-defense.

I know that there are already a variety of combat instructors among us, but I think it would be beneficial to have as many as possible under one roof. I will be offering competitive pay and better resources to anyone who chooses to join the faculty. I have a comprehensive background in education, and am currently in the midst of getting additional government funding. I will do everything I can to get you what you need... Within reason and safety standards.

Not all of the import-taught classes would have to be about self defense, of course. Even if you have no experience with teaching in a formal setting, I would welcome your involvement nonetheless. There are so many among us with unique skills and experiences. If you would be interested in sharing your expertise, I can work with you to find the teaching methods that suit you best.

[He takes a turn, and now he's near a property that looks a little more forested than the rest of the city. He turns the camera around to face the school itself. It looks overgrown, even a bit dilapidated. There’s a large hole in the roof, a few broken windows, and an overgrowth of plants on the property.]

But before we get that far, the building itself is in need of a little... elbow grease. It will require a large amount work, but I truly think it will be worth it.

[His hand reaches into view, wiping some overgrown brush off of a placard that declares “Heropa Organization of Porter Education”.]

So. Would anyone be interested in rekindling H.O.P.E.?

[ The video opens on a scene of Catra sitting in an elegant-looking armchair, legs crossed, arms on the armrests, posture and expression confident. In the background, you may hear the sounds of people talking and tableware clanking. ]

Greetings, Earthlings! It is I, the Goddess Catra of Eternia, and I have come to Earth to grace you with my presence.

[ A cat walks through the screen in front of Catra, its tail held high. ]

If you wish to meet me, I can be found at Royal Purrincess Cat Café.

[ From off the camera, a voice that’s considerably louder than the other ones filters in. ]

What are you doing there? You’re here to work, not goof off!

[ Catra hisses quietly and turns toward her left, where the voice is ostensibly coming from, and shakes her fist at whoever it belongs to. ]

I’m giving you publicity! That is work! Just let me finish-- [ She turns back toward the camera. ] Wait, is this thing still on?

[ She gets up, walks a few steps toward the camera, and then reaches forward until her hand and arm obscure most of the picture. Then the screen goes black and the video ends. ]

(OOC: SO. This is the combined result of this and this and a whole lot of boredom. :'D HAVE AT.)

Soooooo.... hi. I'm new here, annnnd... I still have a lot of questions about what exactly is going on! Ha! Ha ha... I don't know how any of these things in this building work and I can't ask anyone outside for help because every time I try they just keep flashing me with bright lights on their little magic boxes and it's all really starting to kind of freak me out.

[ Great idea opening with run on sentences instead of an introduction, right? The nervous blonde on the other side of the video swipes at her forehead with the back of her free arm, revealing soot smudges on her fingers and palm, the other held up to record her video at a suspiciously low angle looking up. There's a kitchen towel over her shoulder and in the background, if you squint REALLY hard you can see a portion of wall peeking out that looks slightly charred and dripping wet. The top of a plastic pitcher, probably empty of its contents sits a little to the other side. The story tells itself almost.

She takes a deep breath, looking towards the ceiling while she takes a second to compose herself, because it's OBVIOUS she's ten seconds away from freaking out. ]

Also-

[ There is some lip biting and rubbing at the back of her neck No Rapunzel that's the sooty hand!!! going on here for a second, as Rapunzel is a little embarrassed to be admitting this on the open network- but it's necessary so DOING IT ANYWAY.]

I... ah... I might have had a little mishap. I don't really know how it happened. I was reading and suddenly the book caught fire. Is that normal around here?

[ Wow that sounds dumb. She is getting flustered which is evidenced by the nervous darting of her eyes and her pulling the towel off her shoulder to fidgit with before remembering that her other hand is the one holding the "magic box"- the moment the feed dips there's more evidence of the extent of the damage, briefly, before it returns to its previous position. She looks considerably more flustered now, laughing nervously at her own blunder. ] Sorry! Soanywaythethingis- I don't know if there's anyone here who has experience with, um... suddenly catching fire?? But I don't suppose there's someone here willing and able to teach me how to control it? PLEASE?? I-

[ Something off screen just caught her eyes, which widen in alarm. She lets out a startled shriek ("OH! No! Nononononononono!!!") and drops her phone, showing the dish towel on the floor now also ON FIRE. Thankfully, or unfortunately depending on your perspective, the feed cuts out abruptly. ]

[The video feed presents an older british gentleman at his desk, surrounded by stacks of history books. He looks up into the camera and smiles warmly.]

Good evening, my name is Walter Strickler. I'm a new arrival here, and I thought it best that I introduce myself. More than that, actually, I was hoping to ask a question.

I am in the midst of familiarizing myself with the history of this world, and how it differs from my own... Most of the discrepancies have been fairly minute, others less so, but it lead me to wondering about other worlds. Your worlds, and the histories theirin; if you care to share them. I suppose I'm just curious, is it common for most of us... "imports" to be from worlds that are similar, or ones that are vastly different? Is there anything here that has struck you as odd?

[There's a small pause, an aside glance, as he arranges the wording of his next question carefully.]

And, are 'powers' common where you're from? Whether it be mutations, magic, or anything of the sort. Are these things familiar to you?

Please do forgive me if I take a moment to understand anything you have to share. I must admit, I am still attempting to process all of this... But I would not want to have anyone feeling put-out for my misgivings. Thank you. I look forward to getting to know you all better.
