journalkeeperHello? This device seems to be for, uh, communication -- so it seemed like it would be best to reach out, uh, on it. I need your help.

journalkeeperflightforfreedom[ Poe is sitting in his own living room, for the first time in two months, not that many people watching this would know that. On his lap is Beth's dog Polly, and he's petting her head as he sets up the video. ]
So, I'll tell you straight up that the beaches are better on the west coast. They don't even compare. And there's nothing more hilarious than watching people's faces when you go from surfing to flying before they can compute what's happening.
[ His tone is light, but the smile isn't reaching his eyes. He rubs Polly's head a little more vigourously. ]
Anyway, two things for a head's up. One - uh - I don't usually do this, but I don't know all her friends, so - Beth's gone. She came out to Cali with me, and just - yeah. Ported out. Usually I'd let people know in person, but. [ That was kind of impossible, when he didn't know everyone she knew. ]
I'm gonna try to keep all her affairs in order until she comes back, so let me know if you need anything that way. [ Not an if she comes back. When. Even though part of him was already assuming she was gone for good, he was at least trying to pretend to keep his head up about it.]
Number two -
Something weird is stirring up. I follow a lot of the imPort chatter on the Native internet, and heard a couple rumblings from my squad - just be careful out there when you're dealing with Natives, I guess. Sounds like they're getting on edge again.
Remember that if they get put down, they don't get up like we do. They've got a lot of reason to be afraid of us - don't add to it, however annoyed you might be when they give you grief for being here at all. We're on their turf, and we owe them, not the other way around.
[ It's weird, saying this. He would have said the opposite, a year ago. Raged about being kidnapped. But. Well. It's been a long year. He clears his throat. ]
Alright, Dameron out. [ The feed winks off. ]

continuousgroaning[Tina's happily humming to herself as she turns the feed on. A notebook is lying on Maurtia Falls #003's kitchen table, and she zooms in on several labeled drawings of burgers as she slowly flips through the pages:]
Magnus Burnsides - mango salsa with "sideburns" of hot peppers
Wizard Of Mozz - Italian sausage patty, topped with pizza sauce and mozzarella
Merle Highchurch - Pan fried, topped with a few different kinds of greens
Detective Angus - made of Angus beef with a mystery cheese inside
Max - a long bun with two mini patties and fried pickle wheels, to look like a skateboard
Sharpedo - sharp cheddar cheese with "fins" made of nacho cheese Doritos
Pikachu - put pepperoni slices for cheeks, olives for eyes, and mustard for the face on the patty
Exeggutor - honey and egg bun with two fried eggs
[Tina then shuts the notebook and turns the camera on herself, looking quite proud.]
This has been my latest project- coming up with burgers themed after imPorts I know. I want to sell them, maybe at swear-ins, or something like that.
If you could make your own burger, what would you put on it?

mathemagierAre there any talented painters available for commission? Or alternatively, if anyone has recommendations for native talent, that would work just as well. I'm looking for photorealism in particular.
It would be wonderful if it could be done within about two weeks, but it's not absolutely vital. It's meant to be a gift.

Assuming- assuming this isn’t a… massive delusion, or a dream, or… I don’t know. A vision? This doesn’t seem like any of those, but who knows!
[His voice isn’t shaky, but there’s a nervous energy to his words. He’s trying to keep himself in check, but it’s only getting him so far, and he starts going off.]
Maybe I hit my head! Maybe that vampire bartender did strangle me to death! Maybe I’m dead right now, and this is the afterlife?
-No. The Norse afterlife wouldn’t have McDonalds, or WcDonalds, or whatever it is I just saw.
[He’s talking to himself, clearly. He knows it’s recording, but he doesn’t particularly seem to care right now. Another heavy sigh later, he turns on video.
He’s just an average looking guy. He’s wearing a nice, neat suit (pocket square included), has brown hair with a few grays. Nothing really stands out about him, except for the fact he’s settling his face in his hands in mental exhaustion.]
My cellphone isn’t working. So, Takara, Bastien, Tom, Keiko- if you’re here, and you get this, let me know.

May. 16th, 2018 11:41 pmshesalittle[Karolina's face appears on screen. She's smiling a little, but not as much as is her first instinct. She can't sell that level of cheerfulness these days] Hi guys. I already met some of you, but I haven't done one of these yet, so, to make it official: I'm Karolina Dean. My assignment thing says that I'm supposed to be a student. Which I'm good with.
But if we're supposed to be studying, it seems like a waste to only use the resources that come from this place. There's people here from a thousand different places, and I think that learning about all of them is the best study opportunity we have.
[Okay, she might have oversold that. It felt like too much as soon as it came out, but she's a little rusty when it comes to public speaking.
She figures she'll just skip to the questions] Anyway, it'd be great if you guys could share some stuff.
So, today what I'm wondering about is, well, faith. Whatever that means to you. Whether it's the faith you have in people, or the faith you have in yourself, or in something larger than yourself.
Um. [She half-scoffs, half-laughs with a shake of her head] That sounds like an essay question. But, it's something that's important to me. If anybody's willing, I really do wanna talk about it. [She pauses, a troubled look on her face, then forces a smile on and stops recording.]

10. A girl and her horse [Video]
Apr. 3rd, 2018 03:44 pmcontinuousgroaning[There's some shuffling around when the feed clicks on; Tina sets her device upright on a crate before moving back and sitting cross-legged on the ground, so that most of her is visible. She's sitting in a field, with scattered hay and dry grass all around, holding a few horse cookies in one hand. She turns, offering them to something off-camera.]
Come on, Jake... don't be shy. I want everyone to meet you.
[Slowly, a small pony- with a piebald coat, to fit in with the Pi Day theme of the swearin she won him from- pokes his head into view, sniffing the cookies before ignoring them to affectionately lip Tina's hair instead. Tina giggles and leans against him. In response, the horse shakes his head a bit, knocking her glasses askew, suddenly interested in the treats. Tina does not care. She simply readjusts her glasses and watches him cronch on the cookies instead, an expression of pure, unadulterated joy on her face. A big thing, for someone who rarely makes huge displays of emotion.]
The past few months have been hard for me, but sometimes... sometimes life can be so good.

Apr. 1st, 2018 04:49 pmextremeteenbible[ The video begins in selfie mode outside a grand stone and brick cathedral, which some might recognize as Maurtia Fall's local Catholic Church, St. Drausnius (named after the patron saint of invincible people). One might not immediately notice that the camera is in selfie mode, as only the top of Merle's head is visible, a mess of bright white hair at the bottom of the frame. Crowds of families in their Sunday finery are headed into the church, which has a brightly colored banner across the front welcoming parishioners to their Easter Sunday celebration. ]
I've heard a lot about this "Easter" holiday... [ Merle starts, finally pulling the camera down to show his full face in frame. ] Seems like people can't quite make up their mind as to whether the celebration's about new baby farm animals, or the death and revivification of some ancient demigod. I figured, why not check it out for myself to find out?
So... Any one wanna come with me, and see whether the promise of a petting zoo at the end is just an April Fool's prank?

11th Mission // Text
Mar. 17th, 2018 11:18 amdarkpants_warmfeelingHey, everyone. Just got some intel back from the last mission that needs to be shared.
For those who didn't hear, some of us got flown into space last month to take out a network of hostile orbital weapons platforms. One of them attacked an imPort spaceship earlier, and the government found dozens more of those things up there, just hanging over Earth. They had missiles pointed at the planet, and more ordnance to use against us and civilian satellites when we engaged.
I know a lot of people here don't trust the government, but I want to say that the whole mission would never have been possible without their backup. They provided the intel, transport, and equipment we needed to go into orbit and attack our targets. Working with them is the only way to beat things like this, unless someone has a private space shuttle I don't know about.
Funny to think about. If it wasn't for that dumb reality show, we might never have known about those things until they started hitting the planet. Their missiles had the payload to take out a city block. I'd say we got really lucky.
Anyway, we got the job done. Salvage records indicate the targets were launched from sites in Eastern Europe in early 2017, by companies tied to the Otherworld Technologies Organization. For some reason, the satellites were clustering over certain spots every few weeks, in groups of four or five. Always over land. Those spots are probably important somehow.
The OTO is a name we've heard before. They're serious business. We need to keep our eyes out for them, keep following up leads. And we need to get more organized, so we can tackle threats like this even when we don't get lucky.
Speaking of organization. I'd like to know what kinds of experiences people have had with "super-teams" in their time. What worked? What didn't? What would you want to see on a team you're part of?
That's all for now. Stay safe, everyone.
P.S. Anyone else going to check out the meteor shower they're forecasting? It's supposed to be a hell of the show. I'm going to see it from Heropa. Get a nice view from the beach.

Mar. 17th, 2018 01:09 pmh2noYo, so these powers are crazy and all that shit, some of them suck, some of them are fun and helpful. We know all this.
[archie rubs his beard, holding a hand up. a soft, pastel rainbow glow surrounds it.]
What's your favourite way to use your powers? Somethin' that probably wasn't the intended use, specifically. I can use this as a sweet rainbow light in the dark, if I want! My other stuff is breathing underwater, which only goes so far. Or maybe I'm just not thinking outside the box enough...
[he snorts, shaking his head.]
Let me know! What's the point of havin' these things if we ain't gonna do crazy shit with 'em, huh? [he reaches towards the camera, then pauses.] Ah-- this light thing is a healing power, so let me know if you need it? I'll do anything from paper cuts and headaches to, uh... life-threatening stuff, I guess. It works on animals as well, if you have a sick pet. Can't regrow limbs, though. Sorry. Gimme a shout!

Mar. 5th, 2018 11:25 amcigarbribery[When the feed opens, Foggy's—not actually drunk yet, but he does have a bottle of beer in front of him, and he is nursing it with the determination of the broken-hearted. For a moment it's possible that he just turned his comm on by accident, but then he glances in its direction and gives a tired little wave hi.]
I think we can all agree that people getting Ported out kind of blows. [Understatement of the year right here. He'd have invited Odin along, but the guy's happy with his boyfriend and Foggy doesn't want to burden him right now, so—ta-da.] Drinking alone also sucks, so—if anyone here recently lost someone they were friends with, someone they cared about or were seeing?
[He waves a hand to the surroundings around him: a shitty little dive bar in the midst of Maurtia Falls.]
I—really don't want to drink alone. [It's a sad confession, and after a moment Foggy seems to think better of advertising this to the general public. He sighs, reaches out, and shuts the feed off without saying the name of the esteemed establishment he's at.
It's Pour Unfortunate Souls, by the way.]

LUNAR INTERLUDE 4: VOICE
Mar. 2nd, 2018 05:15 pmjournalkeeper[ Lucretia has been laying low for the past month, focusing on keeping a certain something safe - but now it was gone. And, after the usual couple of days waiting to see if it was a Porter blip, didn't look like it was going to return. That meant a couple of things. ]
I don't, uh, know how long you're supposed to wait before announcing these things but Magnus Burnsides has been ported out for a few days now.
[ She pauses. Being open and honest about something isn't really her strong suit. ]
I... owe you all an apology. After the incident in Maurtia Falls in January I tried to address the Network to break some terrible news and reassure you that the destruction wouldn't happen again, but I was unwilling to -- I didn't want to say everything. But now that Magnus is gone, so too is what he'd inadvertently brought into this world - the Philosopher's Stone.
I was afraid that broadcasting its existence on the Network would be little more than an advertisement for an extremely powerful magical object, um, and I believed the only way to keep it safe was to keep people from seeking it out at all - whether for altruistic or... less than altruistic reasons.
[ She likes to believe the best in people, but she doesn't trust half of you as far as she can throw you.]
Regardless, the Stone is no longer in this world and I can finally, finally reassure you that you will be safe from its power.

Feb. 12th, 2018 01:26 pmcalloused[ Amidst candidacy announcements for Ambassadorship and thought-provoking questions aimed at the viewer comes this garbage.
The video opens deep in the woods outside of Nonah, and there stands a particularly grumpy dude, staring down at the camera like he's three or four seconds away from breaking his comm in half. There are children around him. So many children. A dozen boys, aged six to nine, all of them in scout uniforms, screaming at the top of their lungs, hitting each other with sticks, throwing dirt at each other, generally causing havoc. One of them throws a milkshake at another boy, who screams and cries. Where did he get a milkshake? Who cares. It's the other kid's now. Seeing as he's wearing it.
The angry dude is pointedly ignoring all of them. ]
I don't want these. I don't--
[ A kid runs past and he grabs it by the collar. It giggles, and the dude holds the little shit up to the camera. ]
I'm giving these away. I don't want them. Who wants these? There are twelve.
[ this is how you be a scout leader ]

hellosirs[ Angus waves into the camera, polite and a little nervous despite himself. It's been a while since he's done one of these! He's broadcasting from his bedroom, which is impeccably neat, full of stacks of library books (mostly true crime fiction) and covered in wrestling posters.]
Um, hello! I recently got back from a... well, I assume it was some kind of porter mishap, and I think my 'powers', so to speak, have changed a bit. I used to be able to just generate my detective gear out of nowhere, but I can't anymore, so...
I was wondering if anybody knew where I'd be able to buy some equipment? I'm missing a magnifying glass, lockpicking kit, a grappling hook, and... I know this is a long shot, but a miniature wrist-mounted crossbow would come in handy. Just for self-defense!
[ He's never been any good at ending these things. How do you sign off politely? ]
... uh... Thank you for your help, goodbye!

[ Lucretia looks tired, and sad. Her cameras focused on her face he can't really see very much about going on behind her, but if you pay attention you can definitely hear other people around and there is a glimpse of a cop nearby.
And the other, pervasive, inescapable sound is Magnus Burnsides wailing his heartbroken heart out.
This whole scenario was exactly what she was afraid of, but she's in no mood to say "I told you so". And, considering it was caused by one of the Grand Relics, has no right to. ]
I have... news.
The plant infection of Maurtia Falls is over. We've managed to stop it from spreading, and hopefully things will get back to normal soon. I'm sorry for all the trouble and grief it caused, but please rest assured the worst is over.
[ She sighs, and then straightens her self as if steeling herself to say what she has to next. ]

ghoulkingHello, especially to the newcomers. I’m Ken Kaneki and I’ve been in this world for three and half years now. Don’t worry, most of you will be leaving before the one year mark. [ better to add that before everyone starts to freak out ] I’ve written a F.A.Q., if you want to know a little more about your situation, and I've also written down notes regarding what happened through the years I have been here. I'm attaching the links if you want to have a look. Jacob-san, from RISE, has also compiled a Threat Roster which works as a resource to know who our current enemies are. [ because YES, they have enemies ] If you have any questions, I can try answering.
[ Kaneki leaves links to the F.A.Q., to the Notes and to RISE's Threat Roster. ]
On a much more positive note, :Re Café is still on going and we have new faces working with us, Veronica and Justine are our new employees, please treat them all. We will be adding Veronica's slushies to the menu since her power is useful like that. [ and since newcomers are here and Kaneki no longer hides it ] Our coffee shop provides mostly japanese food and snacks, we are also a book café, and we provide food for non-humans. [ take that as you will ]
Finally and unrelated to the above. Mako-san and Daryl were ported out. I was waiting for them to come back but... [ he sighs a little. Kaneki doesn't deal well with loss ] Nevermind. I just wanted to let you know about that.

Good afternoon and Happy New Year, imPorts. I'd like to take the opportunity to remind you all that voting for the Maurtia Falls election is today. Personally, I’ll be returning to the polls after this to hand these out.
[ He pulls briefly at the “I Voted” sticker on his chest. ]
Many things have happened in the last few months - not all of them good. Although I think we've reached a unanimous agreement that extreme caution should be taken in contacting the porter, I believe now more than ever we must find alternative manners to research its history and mechanics. As of now, there are more than a few ideas of paths forward, and I want to create a more open forum for its discussion in order to ensure-- and reassure-- the safest possible outcome.
[ But enough about current news, let’s segue into some programs: ]
During the De Chima election, The Foundation and I were in the final stages of creating a facility with which to train individuals on honing their powers. The Danger Room is now open to the public, and I highly encourage you all to visit, utilize the facility, and leave suggestions for improvement.
I have always been a proponent for the betterment of our quality of life, and following the success of the Danger Room, I have several project proposals of interest. The first is a volunteer network to pair settled imPorts with new arrivals in order to help them adjust to the new environment. The second is a career placement board, where imPorts can be matched to positions that highlight their skills and own personal interests. Lastly, I'd like to propose funding for an insurance program for unregistered minors, many of whom come from extreme circumstances and should not be denied healthcare, housing, or education.
Whether or not you agree with my politics or my ideas, I hope that all of you have been inspired by at least one of the candidates. Regardless of your choice, the De Chima election brought out record numbers of voters, and I hope for the same kind of turnout and fervent interest in choosing your representatives today.

So, bit of a problem with all this- and by all this I mean this ah... mystery realm, let's call it. Earth? Earth. Not connected to the Astral Plane, is it! I think. Or I'm not, which-
[there's what's clearly a wolf whistle in the background, and camera turns enough to show he's at a cafe and some pair of people in the distance go 'hey there goth guy!' kravitz turns the camera back to himself with a :| face and ignores this]
Which is a wee bit of a problem. I have a theory, this is some sort of purgatory dimension and all that 'please get me out of here' wishing I was making was some monkey's paw bullshit- pardon my cockney.
[he sighs as those cat callers probably waggle their eyebrows.] If only this was a big goof.
