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.

[Jane begins the video facing the screen, with her fingertips pressed lightly together. In the background, muffled and distant, is the sound of the boy currently in her care, playing with his dog.]

I have a question.

[Each word is carefully enunciated, and a far cry from the uncertainty of her first post to this network. A small frown is just visible between her eyebrows.]

And, please do pardon me if I overlooked something in orientation when I arrived, I am certainly open to being told if I did... but am I correct in understanding that young children - imPorts, specifically - are simply being left, alone, to care for themselves here, save for the lucky chance that someone might take them in?

[Her lips press together. The calm is a facade.]

And this is acceptable?

[She really wants someone to tell her she's mistaken.]

So I've... well. I seem to have been roped into another job, with neither warning nor explanation, and I'm left with no... ethical way to quit, I suppose. At least, I don't think I'd be able to tolerate the consequences, if I tried.

[ Ruka doesn't post often, and when she does it's usually either about the fucking apocalypse, or some vaguely maudlin waxing about the passage of time. This is definitely not the former, but it doesn't sound much like the latter, either. She trails off and rephrases as she speaks; there's no noise or sign of anything going on in the background, but her voice is airy, distant — easily distracted. ]

It's nothing I have experience with, but we come from all types, don't we. So, do any of you have much experience working with charities? Charitable foundations, maybe. Less, uh, the voluntary fieldwork stuff, more the... resources, and financials. Organization. The gears of the machine. If you will.

[ ... ]

... Thanks in advance.

Stay safe out there.

[ 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?

[The feed clicks on, and everyone is greeted with Guzma grinning like a total jackass. He looks the part too, white and black hair, yellow sunglasses on his head that are asymmetrical, purple around his eyes that... might be makeup? Lets not forget that fat gold chain around his neck with a gold emblem of a S that looks like a skull. This guy is, uh, something else.]

Attention fellow ImPorts—it's your boy Guzma!

[He pauses a moment, as if making sure he's got people's attention, like what he has to say is somehow important. Well, he thinks everything he has to say is important on some level, but whatever.]

This shit really connected to y'all? Awful convenient, huh? Guess y'all better get used to hearing from ya boy on the regular. That's right, big bad Guzma ain't gonna be letting this shit fall into disuse.

[Great news for you guys...]

So! If you ain't looking for a beat down, I suggest you make yourself useful. I just showed up, and while I ain't no punk loser who ain't got a clue on how to deal with being brought somewhere new so suddenly, may as well do some info gathering, huh?

I suggest you cough up what useful shit you got to share that them stiffs didn't go into. Don't go wasting my time with useless garbage, neither. I'm in the mood to kick some ass, so if you wanna just hand me an excuse to smash your dumbass into the ground, I ain't gonna stop you.

[Honestly, is he looking for info, or a fight? Maybe both. He shrugs, and then points to his head, tapping his temple while emphasizing his next part:]

But! Those of ya who got something in that skull of yours, y'know, a little bit of sense? A brain, maybe? You'll realize real quick what a stupid idea it is to get on the hated boss' bad side.

So, hurry it up! I ain't got all day.

[Yes he does, he literally has nothing better to do right now.]

Hey so. How do you make long-term plans? Not goals, but plans. How do you decide what they should be? And by long term I don't mean two or three years, that's actually not that hard when you have an idea of what you're currently able to do and how you can contribute. I mean ten years. That seems like a really, really long time to me, since, uh. I didn't have a very long life expectancy.

Looking for any advice here, because I never actually thought that far past taking down the cult I was in, and then finding my way to another world. The short term is easy, and unchanging - add value in whatever ways I can. But the long term is a whole different beast, and not one I can understand.

Hi! My name is Naminé and it's nice to meet you all. I have a few questions which hopefully doesn't sound too odd. If so, you can ignore this!

I was wondering for those who can't use sharp objects or have any fighting skills, what methods would you use to protect someone from harm? And could you give off any tips?

[She still can be pretty powerful with her memory manipulation on others, but any other tips would be extremely helpful for her!]

My next question is what is the most scariest animal/creature you've ever defeated, and what did they look like? I draw, a lot! And I wanted to try new facial features and muscles on my sketchpad. Any interesting creatures you want to share would help me a lot, I would appreciate it!

[OOC: This takes place after she met her KH crew and talked to Roxas.]

As a courtesy, I am formally announcing to the ImPort community that the ambassador of Maurtia Falls has been returned to his universe of origin by the Porter.
In my capacity as his bodyguard, I have confirmed his absence with certainty.

[ Those who have been there will likely recognize the ambassador's office. The tall, blue female-shaped machine currently broadcasting has apparently commandeered the space, and despite the absence of its usual occupant, is working diligently. It's not entirely clear what her multitasking entails — but she's methodically feeding papers into a shredder, and a few of the cables that make up her hair have extended to plug into the computer. Is she... "Cleaning up" after Logan, so to speak? ]

If there are professional inquiries or unresolved matters, you may direct them to me.
I will address them if I find it necessary and appropriate.

Personal inquiries are less welcome.
Particularly if they require me to elaborate on my emotional state.
I have prepared this default response to save time:
I am fine.

[ A small pause. That slight missed beat is the only hint of any sentimental reaction that she's given this entire time. Then, unreadably: ]

I will also be maintaining his residence indefinitely.
Just in case.

Hi everyone. This is Quatre Raberba Winner. [Another year, another unnecessary introduction, another video of Quatre sitting on the beach with no apparent care for the state of his chinos or his nice button-down shirt.] It's been two years to the day since I first came to Earth-- the Earth in my home universe, not this world. I never thought I'd spend this long on the planet, but I've been here long enough that I'm not surprised to hear birds when I wake up in the mornings, and I don't forget to check the weather any more.

[As if to directly contradict that statement, a wave suddenly comes high enough to get caught in the background of the shot, making it clear that Quatre is not only sitting in the sand but sitting in wet sand with the tide coming in; he reacts only by pausing to trail his hand through the water as it recedes.]

I don't think I'll ever take it for granted, though. I love the Earth, but I love my home more. I don't mind being here for however long I'm going to stay in this universe, but-- I know it's only temporary. I'm always going to go home again. And it's because of how different life is here that I don't mind waiting. If things were closer to how they are back home, it would just remind me of what's still missing. So to the people who are starting to see pieces of their homes here... I'm sorry. Even putting aside whatever it may mean for this world, and whoever may be behind it, and why it's happening... it must be hard to see something from home as if it belongs here, and still know that you're not there. Maybe it's hard for everyone from this era. I think in the end, I'm really lucky.

[Another surge of water high enough to make it into the frame, another brief pause. Then Quatre smiles brightly and adds] ...But on that note, would anyone like two tickets to Sentinels on Ice? They were given to me for my birthday, but... well, as important as it is to keep an eye on these... anomalies, or whatever we're calling them, I'll skip this one.

grandtheftequine

so who around here's got a hidden talent?

i don't mean your powers—we've all got those, no one's impressed

i mean stuff that has nothing to do with them (or for some of you particularly overpowered freaks, as little to do with them as possible)
like competitive hot dog eating, or the ping pong ball trick, or something

sweetbirthdaybaby

[ The voice coming across the devices is brassy, whiskey-rust and three packs a day, thick New York accent with a hint of yiddish. She's angry, obviously, but when isn't she? ]

Okay, you know what? Fuck this. Fuck this up the motherfucking ass - I don't know what kind of sick turn of events this is but I'm not about to play this game with you! You hear that, universe? Still not engaging! Fuck!

[ A pause, in which there's a telltale click of a lighter. ]

I'm not wearing my panties on the outside. Forget it. Not doing it.

[ Another pause, an exhale this time. Frustrations somewhat subsiding, she continues with a softer but no less raspy tone: ]

Alan? You around?

solarcharged

[ Does this guy ever broadcast to the network from ground level?? APPARENTLY NOT because here's Apollo with yet another video message from somewhere dizzyingly high, this time sat on top of a brightly lit neon encrusted building in the heart of Jeopardy. Over his shoulder the sun sets over the desert in a picture perfect background landscape of bright pinks and oranges, but Apollo looks pensive despite the dreamy setting. He's been keeping an eye out for the so-called ghosts, you see, and maybe remembering a few ghosts of his own in the process. ]

An old friend once told me that saving the world is no good if we leave it the way we found it. She said 'saving the day shouldn't be the same as preserving the status quo'. Because what's the point in saving the world if you make no effort to change it? To make it better than it was?

That's why I joined her team, back home. I wanted to save the world and change it for the better. None of us could have done it alone but as a group... [ He trails off, turning a little wistful. ] As a group we were formidable.

But I know most of the teams currently operating here - [ you know who you are ] - are all pretty much Registered-only affairs. And that's fine if you're the Registering type...

[ Apollo's expression turns grim. Or as grim as you can look when surrounded by neon pink signage. ]

Personally? I've got no intention of swearing my loyalty to the government just because they want tame superheroes. But I still want to make a difference and if being a so-called vigilante is what it takes, then... I guess we'll see what happens next.

So consider this an open call. Is there anyone else out there who's Unsettled and wants to do their bit to save the world?

[ And yeah, maybe change it a little bit too. He hopes you're happy, Jenny Sparks. ]

THE MAJORITY REPORT: FEBRUARY 20TH, 2019A new sense of H.O.P.E. is rising with imPorts are pulling themselves up by their bootstraps in an inspiring communal effort.

SCHOOL OF HARD KNOCKS
As seen in local Jeopardy news:
Cybertronian imPort Knock Out was fined under the Misdemeanor Act after he left Jeopardy native Joshua Atkinson clinging to the top of a school flagpole on Saturday night. Mr Atkinson was trapped there for several hours before his cries for help were heard early Sunday morning, and he was safely retrieved and checked over by Jeopardy Fire and Rescue.

Upon being reached for comment, Knock Out was apologetic. "The whole thing is merely a cultural misunderstanding," he stated. "On Cybertron, placing another at a greater height than oneself is a significant mark of respect. I most sincerely regret any accidental trauma inflicted on Joshua."

Mr Atkinson has elected not to press any charges.

AEGAD! AN UPDATE!
As seen on the official press release circulating throughout the Porter Cities and on Aegis Force Bwitter:
PRESS RELEASE FROM AEGIS FORCE: The operation to apprehend the arms dealer Franklin Duquesne, alias Master-at-Arms, has been successfully concluded. Aegis agents, in cooperation with local police and other heroes, have arrested Duquesne and several of his accomplices and customers, and taken dozens of deadly weapons off the streets of Maurtia Falls. Agents Ashley Williams, Psychopomp, and Lucina assisted in this dangerous investigation, and Agent Cayde-6 disabled the fugitive’s combat exoskeleton by shooting the power suit’s arms off with his ‘Golden Gun’ ability, before announcing that the hostile had been ‘disarmed.’

Meanwhile, the pursuit of imPort super-criminal ARMITAGE HUX continues. The charges against Hux now include attempted murder of an Aegis agent, coercing others into committing crimes on his behalf, causing a car accident through reckless driving, and littering. Hux is now believed to operate under the alias of REGULUS, an identity tied to the imPort criminal organization known as 'Constellation.' He has also demonstrated the ability to control the minds of others, and is wanted for questioning in connection with the death of BODHI ROOK earlier this month. He was last spotted fleeing a crime scene in Maurtia Falls, driving a silver Lexus.

Anyone encountering Hux is urged to exercise caution, as he is believed to be extremely dangerous. Take note of the attached updated file photo and notify the police or contact Aegis Force if you see this man or have any information on his activities that may be helpful to this investigation.

TROUBLE A-SUN-DER
As seen in the newest print of Nonah tabloid THE SUPERNOVA:
Mile high meltdown! Brawl breaks out above Nonah as imPorts clash!
Watch the shocking moment solarpowered sun god Apollo appears to attack stalwart Aegis Force member Archie over Nonah city!

A vicious attack involving two imPorts took place over Nonah this week according to eyewitnesses. Footage of the fight, believed to show longtime imPort favourite Archie and new arrival Apollo, shows the latter releasing a solar flare at the beloved Poké personality, who is seen to be knocked out of the air.

[Embedded in the article is a grainy amateur mobile phone video, capturing what looks like Apollo attacking Archie and Crobat. The video cuts as Apollo dives after them both, but whether it's to save them or attack again is unclear!]

There are rumors that the incident may have been related to reports of Archie's alleged involvement in the previous Apollo's death. Conflicting accounts of the event have been circulating on Bwitter, with fan accounts openly declaring themselves #TeamArchie or #TeamApollo.

An eyewitness report of the event, who wished to only by identified under their online handle of 'apolloswife' was available for comment; "Clearly Apollo was saving that idiot! I mean, he's definitely the forgive and forget type, right? I'm amazed Aegis hasn't written that guy up for unprofessionalism!"

Another Nonah native called in with information, claiming staunchly that Apollo was first to strike. His aggression was uncalled for and clear proof that the new sunshine hero on the block is hiding something far darker behind the bright light he puts out.

SHIP 'N SHACK UP?
As seen on Rumblr, Bwitter, Instascam:
Something must be in the air, indeed. For reason entirely unknown, imPort fandom has practically tripled in output over the past week. Excruciatingly detailed fanart of Max Carson and Tim Drake, purple prose ficlets of Andy and Georgia, actual sonnets of Mitch and Clark Kent have flourished over the usual imPort fandom stomping grounds. A local Nonah couple even cosplayed as Catra and Rapunzel and got engaged!

Needless to say, it didn't take long for an series of infamous ship wars to be declared. Is your name among the drama?

CODE SWITCH
The Homeland Security Advisory System has moved from A WINK OF PINK to A SQUEEZE OF LIME because everyone knows lime goes best with salt, and there are some unusual saltines in the imPort fandom as of late.

And that's a year, for me. A year back, I mean.

[ oh hey it's everybody's favorite depressed mess of an oldbie. for once, she doesn't sound like death warmed over!?! it's a goddamned miracle ]

It's not the worst year I've had, since leaving my original world — I mean, the planet's still here, right? That's already a great start. Better than I was expecting for most of it. But... I don't know. I'm not sure how I feel, back here, at February ninth. It's the anniversary of this return, but it's... the same day as when I was first imPorted, too. It's always been my anniversary, and it's...

[ she trails off, and hums some note of resignation. she picks up on a different track ]

Well, I suppose there's no real answer for why today. Maybe she thought I'm more suited to Aquarius? [ ha, ha. it joke. ] Oh well. We all make mistakes.

Anyway... I suppose I don't really have a direction with this. I'm not sure how I feel about the year, so, maybe you can indulge me for a little while? Tell me something good that's happened to you, since this time last year. It doesn't matter if it's only a small thing. ... Sometimes we only get small bits of brightness, to keep us going.

Anything you're willing to share.

THE MAJORITY REPORT: JANUARY 20TH, 2019The new year kicked off with a FABULOUS Swear-In!, a real treat for imPorts! Hopefully you had a chance to rub shoulders with your peers at this thrilling location.

OH FOR HUX SAKE
As seen in the official press release circulating throughout the Porter Cities.
PRESS RELEASE FROM AEGIS FORCE: All citizens in the Porter Cities are advised to be on the lookout for the imPort super-criminal, ARMITAGE HUX. Hux is currently wanted for charges including arson, attempted purchase of a biological toxin as a weapon, and assaulting an Aegis agent while resisting arrest. His known powers include the generation of fire from his hands. He is described as a pale ginger-haired man with a loud voice.

Hux was last spotted in Maurtia Falls, and has been working as a freelance business consultant. Anyone encountering him is urged to exercise caution, as he is believed to be extremely dangerous. Take note of the attached file photo and notify the police or contact Aegis Force if you see this man or have any information on his activities that may be helpful to this investigation.

PASS ME THE TAHANI SAUCE
As seen in everything ever:
Have you heard about Tahani Al-Jamil? Of course you have, darling. She is the newest, brightest imPort SUPER NOVA since Tony Stark had his last Elon Muskesque meltdown. Rumor has it that Versace is begging for a modeling contract with her. Have you looked at your local supermarket tabloids recently? She's allegedly had a romantic night with Frederick Chilton, has been proposed to by Danger, and is currently hiding the body of Momo Yaoyorozu, whom she murdered. What a delightful, elegant rascal! Easy to see why Tahani is the toast of Maurtia Falls!

What will she do next?

GOT YOUR NUMBERS CHANNEL
As heard on the AM radio airwaves of Jeopardy in repeat:
"Due to the revealing data of new ears on this channel, we cannot continue to operate under this scrutiny. Wouldn't you agree, Ken Kaneki? Jacob Taylor? Urdr? It is wiser that we stop... On this channel.

May she forgive us all."

I SPYDER WITH MY LITTLE EYE
As seen around Jeopardy:
Little neon, rubber spiders have seemed to infest the city of Jeopardy. Seems like an expensive joke -- all of these spiders have a large, grinning smile carved into what would be their faces. Thousands upon thousands of these bright little, inch-long spiders have been showering the city of Jeopardy since Sunday morning. What a bizarre prank, but it seems harmless enough.

CODE SWITCH
The Homeland Security Advisory System has moved from ELECTRIC SLIDE BLUE to TIFFANY BLUE, since she's been talking shit about Tahani probably.

[ The feed clicks on, showing a very disgruntled Catra.]

Hey, network or whatever. Here's a little PSA for everyone in this city. No, scratch that, everyone in this whole entire place:

My ears? [ With one hand, she points at one of the large cat ears protruding from behind the mask framing her face. ] My tail? Are NOT to be touched. And I better not catch you gawking at me or [ she punctuates the following words with by moving her index finger in a jabbing motion toward the camera ] you. will. regret it.

I get it, you've never seen a person with a tail before - great, now get over it and mind your business. Am I making myself clear?

darkpants_warmfeeling

Hey everyone, happy New Year. The Porter is starting its cycle again, so here's a welcome to all the new imPorts getting brought in. I'm Commander Jacob Taylor of Aegis Force, a team that works with the government to protect people in the Porter cities. You can ask us questions, report any information you have on trouble happening, or ask for help if you need it. Our group is always ready to respond when things go wrong.

I've been here a long time, and I've learned that being imPorts means our community has a lot of power. A lot of advantages that most other people don't have. Some people - and not just imPorts - think that power means you can step on others with no consequences. Treat people like they're playthings, or less. Aegis exists to show people like that how wrong they are. There are rules, and they still apply no matter how strong someone might be.

So here are a few examples I'd like to give of what NOT to do while you're here:

( cut for length )

These are not polite suggestions. These are basic guidelines that everyone should be able to follow. If you break them, Aegis Force or somebody else who gives a damn will find out and make it their problem. On the other hand, if you want to help hold the line, we'll be happy to work with you. Recruitment's closed for the moment, but Aegis can always use more allies and contacts.

That's about it for now. If anybody's got suggestions for what you'd like to see added to the list, go ahead and let me know. This probably won't be the last time I'll have to go over these.

THE MAJORITY REPORT: DECEMBER 10TH, 2018It's that time for giving and taking, what with the winter holidays hitting around. And the government wants to take what you have to give -- within a reasonable amount. Comment HERE on the official forms with a topic for debate. From the suggestions, topic(s) will be chosen for upcoming imPort Ambassador candidates to debate, so be wise in your choices. But when aren't you?

BREW-TAL DUDE
As seen in Maurtia Falls local news and on various social media accounts:
In the early hours of the morning of December 7th a mysterious fire broke out at one of Maurtia Fall's favorite tea shops Brew World Order. Unfortunately, the building was completely destroyed but the cause of the fire is still unknown. The only lead is vague rumors of an old man with a white and gray beard being seen in the area but as of yet there has been no follow up. As always, anyone with any information is encouraged to reach out to MFPD.

IMPORTANT GOVT BUSINESS
As seen in all the national newspapers, press releases, political and ImPort-related websites:
The Import Relations Division of the Justice Department, in response to Count Dooku’s demand for compensation regarding his loss of property during his incarceration, would like to dedicate this formal apology to Count Dooku, and has additionally renovated the Imprisoned ImPort Safekeeping system. A new plaque sits over a wall of lockers, titled the “Count Dooku Memorial Import Storage Locker” in memorial to him, sits in the Cape Canaveral base with guards and power nullifiers surrounding the perimeter of the room. No one’ll be stealing from Imprisoned Import storage again!

Along with the gift card given to the Count previously, the IR Division has released this formal apology for all to see.

REST IN PEACEKEEPING
As this is the official press release picked up by major news outlets within the Porter Cities, it is as follows:
PRESS RELEASE FROM AEGIS FORCE: The imPort peacekeeping team Aegis Force is closing recruitment for the time being, having fully filled its ranks with fifteen imPort members. Aegis thanks all its members for stepping forward to help protect the innocent throughout the Porter cities. Recruitment will re-open if and when new spots become available on the team.

Finally, Aegis would like to wish all citizens, imPort and native, a happy and safe holiday season. If you have any questions, concerns, or information to report about ongoing cases, please contact the Aegis Force hotline.

MAY THE RESOURCE BE WITH YOU
As reported in a local Maurtia Falls newspaper and spread via Bwitter:
'Tis the season for giving, and several local charities have banded together to help those in need have a happy holiday season. Kanan Jarrus, ImPort and head of youth outreach programs NeoJedha and the Endeavor Center, believes cooperation like this can help make our city a safer place.

"We're hoping to feed a lot of people this year," he said in an interview this week. "If we can help people in need, we can help reduce crime rates and make Maurtia Falls safe for everyone who lives here."

But he can't do it alone.

"We always need help, but especially this time of year," he added. "Socks. Everyone needs socks, and people don't really think about donating them much. Or money to buy socks. Or you could volunteer some time to help feed people, or distribute socks. It all helps."

Making Maurtia Falls safer, one pair of socks at a time.

OOF
As seen in any and all international news:
Vicente Magaldi, CEO of the Mexican technology company ‘Hora Nueva’, has been murdered during a business trip to New York City. An unidentified assailant appears to have infiltrated Magaldi’s hotel room, evading his bodyguards, and stabbed him in the back before vanishing without a trace. Magaldi was pronounced dead at the scene. The only apparent clue was a scrap of paper left by the body with the symbol of a black handprint on it.

The killer has not yet been identified or caught by police, and appears to have evaded being photographed by security cameras. However, an anonymous statement sent to multiple news sources indicates a possible motive for the slaying. It says that Vicente Magaldi’s company made it possible for the OTO to terrorize Earth from space with their technology. He has now paid the ultimate price for helping the OTO’s cruelty and corruption. For too long these criminals have acted without consequences, but no more. Let this deed serve as a warning to all the scientists and financiers of the world: the cost of working with the OTO is not worth the money and knowledge they offer. It is a price to be paid in blood.

The controversial ‘Otherworld Technologies Organization’ has been accused of crimes by imPorts in the past, but has never been found responsible for any illegal activity. Authorities are refusing to speculate about whether imPorts could have been involved in this killing. Magaldi himself was respected as a business leader in his hometown of Guadalajara, where his company works in creating zero emissions transportation, new forms of space travel, and energy engineering. When asked for a statement, his family asked for privacy in their time of grief.

CODE SWITCH
The Homeland Security Advisory System has moved from THE GRATEFUL RED to JUNIPER LATTE TO THE PARTY because at the end of the year, it's fashionable to be late to every party. You control the flow of time and events. You might literally control the flow of time and events.

WANT TO SUBMIT TO THE MAJORITY REPORT?
The Majority Report comes out the 10th and 20th of every month. You may find details and submit here. The cut-off time is 12:01 AM PST on the 9th and the 19th for the corresponding dates. As per usual, there will be no Majority Report for 12/20, to accommodate the holidays.

[ hello everyone, today Kaneki is here on video, wearing glasses because he is pretty much blind at this point ]

I've been here for a while, and yet I've never been to New York. I just realized that. [ he smiles a little and shakes his head ] before I arrived here, I've never stepped outside Tokyo, and here I am in America, and have not yet visited the most popular of cities... it's a bit of a waste, I think.

That's why I am thinking of going there the first week of December, and was wondering if anyone would like to come along. Might as well enjoy ourselves while here.

Speaking of which - since I've never been to New York before, but some of you have - what are the best places to visit? I'm specifically looking for libraries, but I'm sure there is a lot more than that.

[ and Kaneki will turn off the feed with a small bow of his head. There, not suspicious at all, just a fun touristic trip, totally something kaneki would do ~~except not~~ ]
