[He's back. Ah, and not much time has passed here, has it? Might as well prod at the network a little, though why not make it a bit of a game? He did have that endearing persona he used once before against... who was that again?]

[Guess who.]

[Or don't. You can also just tell him about cool stuff you've done to make yourself a potential target and be fawned over and complimented because you're so cool.]

[The sky is blue, the birds are singing- till they suddenly fly the hell off and out of the frame of the video once someone starts to yell. Gamagori is on screen, you're welcome. You might be familiar with him by now, either from various public announcements or events, or from his monthly patrols in all the ImPorts cities, usually ranging from 2 to 5 stories high.]

[Today he's showing up with someone else though, a looming smaller figure on the left, arms crossed. Blue hair, a white Goku Uniform in contrast to the gold and black one Gamagori always wears. They match, sort of? Inumuta remains quiet though as he stands beside him, for now, letting Gamagori speak.]


Gamagora Ira, Registered, Nonah ImPort Ambassador, and Inumuta Houka, Registered ImPort, both here now with a few announcements! Your attention please, Registered and unRegistered alike! This concerns all of you!

[Despite the volume, Inumuta seems completely unphased by it, standing at attention with his collar covering his mouth.]

[Gamagori takes a breath, moving to fold his arms behind him, chest out.]


First! Let me personally thank all those who assisted with last month's unfortunate events. Everyone that took part in assisting not only their peers but the civilians entangled in it deserve acknowledgement! Not everyone was prepared for something so intense but let it show all those new to this world or those dismissing the possibilities that there will always be a conflict ready to strain our backs and wrack our minds! We must always be ready! Concerning this- I will continue within this announcement, I urge all of you to keep your attention here until then!!

But first, I will allow my team mate a word considering another finished project.

[Gamagori will then step aside, though of course still managing to take up a lot of the screen. At least he better opens it up for Inumuta to step forward and speak. With nothing near the same ostentation that Gamagori presents himself with, Inumuta rather plainly steps forward and adjusts his glasses with the tip of his middle finger.]

Hello. As Gamagori had announced a short while ago, I have been working on an A.I. program, which I've since dubbed the Automated imPort Response System. It's job will be that if anyone, Registered or not, has a question related to imPort events, past or present, it will be able to answer them to the best of it's abilities. However, as an always learning artificial intelligence, there are still a few things it doesn't understand yet, and so please report to me any strange responses it gives. Thank you.

[And with that, he steps back to where he had been before taking his turn to speak.]

Thank you, Inumuta. [Said with a small nod as Gamagori steps back up, clears his throat, and raises his head.] And with that, I will continue concerning our preparation as imPorts here.

As many of you are aware, I, Gamagori Ira, as well as both Ambassadors of Maurtia Falls and De Chima, was given the responsibility of writing a bill to be passed in my city! Only recently has this been passed. I have been given permission to oversee the planning and creation of an ImPort Training Facility!

For those of you looking to sharpen your skills and learn to better discipline your powers and abilities! Or those merely wishing to handle their every day life with what the Porter has granted them and have no interest in pursuing the goals of a hero, this facility is open to you, Registered and Unsettled alike!

The creation of this facility is completely funded but will be accepting further funding to support the grande array of powers it should contain. Anyone with the interest and ability in planning, constructing, and managing this facility, make yourselves known! This is to be a structure able to withstand shifts in mass, elemental properties, changes in speed and exceptional feats of strength, among the many other abilities we've been given. Rooms designed to train in various situations for individuals or groups alike, a medical wing for those in need of such attention and those with the desire to learn it for themselves! Complete with a training program for all imPorts wanting to teach or to learn from others with abilities like their own!

Finally we will have a place to spar and train away from the possibility of harming others!


[He's really getting worked up about this... Gamagori just loves discipline though, gosh, and a facility for training? All aboouut discipline. But he'll take a breath, closing his eyes for a moment before continuing.]

A project like this will take time and effort, and we have been given allowance to not only create it as we see fit, but to control it ourselves. This Training Facility will be optional to imPorts, so if you have no interest in taking part or even using it in the future, dont. But to anyone able to assist in it's creation, or wishing to help manage it when it has been finished, I, as well as Inumuta Houka are open to questions.

Concerning the Tutoring Program, there will be an Application Process, if you have an interest in taking part as a tutor or will be looking for a tutor once the Facility is opened, please see to filling one out. I will begin going over them in the future, so if you don't get a response soon after, wait.

On a final note- LOCATION. [A breath, frowning a bit as he raises his head.]

Due to the SIZE this building may be once finished, it's location will not be in Nonah! So I ask you for your ideas on the best place to raise this project! Considering how far it may be, there will also be need for a group of individuals willing to work on a fast transit system, like the Porters even, that will assist imPorts in going to and from what location we choose.

Thank you for listening. [Not that you really have a choice since that power of his makes you listen...] We will now open our time up to questions, comments, and ideas, should you have anything else that may be a good addition to this project.

Actually, this is Kay showing off her vocal replication powers by getting revenge on him for spilling all that information over the network during the Hornet mind clone invasion. All replies will be anonymous and in Inumuta's voice unless otherwise specified.

Hello. I want to apologize for being such a massive jerk last time for leaking everyone’s information. [Well, he sounds...strangely resigned. Or is he just being sarcastic?] I would also like to take this time to say that I’m a real stick in the mud who sits in his computer chair for so long that it’s got an imprint of my butt, and it’s not just because my jacket’s all buttoned up too tight.

Someone should put a “Kick Me” sign on my back. It would do both you and me a favor.

That is all.

Uh... hey.

[He clears his throat.]

So, listen. I wanna apologize for anyone lookin' for me for the past month. I... was stupid and wasn't thinkin' straight. Yeah, yeah. I know, 'Moses not thinkin' straight, must be every other day'. But, look.

[He grumbles, trying to get to his point here.]

We've all done some shameful stuff back home and maybe even here. I'm sure all of us have done somethin' that may have broken the law. I know I have and I'm damn well sure I ain't the only offender here.

...But shame ain't the way to go through life. Feeling ashamed of what you are ain't the smartest thing to do and I would know about things that ain't smart to do!

[And you can ask him about that.]

Maybe I'm the only one who didn't get it. But if you ain't sure, just know that whatever you did in the past, before you got here, is just part of who you are. And if you let someone shame you from trying to move on from that, don't listen to them.

You're better than anyone who treats you like you're a terrible person.

...And if you ain't sure, or wanna talk to someone who might know what you're goin' through, I'm always here! I can always listen and I ain't gonna judge you if you ain't gonna judge me.

...I guess that's all I gotta say about that. Uh... yeah.

...Bye.

[Once again, the cheery face of the bun-headed school girl appears on screen as her camera blips to life. She may not be around the network as often as some, but that hair style isn't necessarily forgettable. She's seated at her desk, her cutely decorated room as her backdrop, smile bright as ever.]

I know this is a day late but… Happy spring everyone!

[Her excitement over the season change is genuine, despite the fact Heropa never got terribly cold during her stay in the latter part of winter. But after a moment, that happiness seems to falter a bit.]

Things have been… kinda nuts, huh? I know some of you are better at handling this sorta of… thing… better than others.

[It's kinda a weird moment, for Usagi to look more sullen. There's a difference between the cry-baby tears and this more serious tone she's fallen into.]

So, I also wanted to say… good job, to everyone. A lot of you have been doing your best to help out! I really respect you for that. Honest! There are so many of you out there who have a real sense of duty to help people. You're really strong and courageous! It's amazing…

[She is quiet for a spell, eyes straying from the camera. But then she shakes her head a little and pats her cheeks. When her eyes return to the camera, she's smiling more again.]

Have a lovely weekend, everyone!

[Oh look, a new post on the imPort communicator! Although this time, there seems to be no ID attached to the post, it's entirely anonymous. It's pretty late at night on the 25th, surely some people will be up.]

Heroes.

How safe do you really think you are?

Warning: Picture heavy under the cut )

[OOC: Aaaand Inumuta is currently infected with the Hornet's Mind Clone of Miguel Rodriguez right now! So he's not exactly himself at the moment. Right now, Inumuta's doing the whole anonymous schtick, but if any hackers/people capable of tracking him down do any digging whatsoever, they'll find him. He's intentionally not covering his tracks as well as he could have because as a Hornet, he isn't shying away from any jabs he can get at Imports.

So, action is possible, but please try to coordinate with other players in this! Feel free to threadjack, whatever!

Side note: Please forgive my typos, and I'm sorry for the poor choice in pictures for some characters, if I used a picture you don't like and want a new one, send me a link. Also also, I will update this post with a few more characters once I hear back from a few people to get their final approval from my plotting post.

[ The camera opens on a young 25ish man, settled in front of a large window that looks like it might be a restaurant or cafe. The light is beginning to die outside, but you can still see the shops of downtown Heropa in all their dusky glory. The man himself is wearing a white, collared shirt, pressed to perfection.

The angle has him looking down somewhat, making him look a little taller than what he is but framing him nonetheless well. He looks bright and smiles a little. You can use this video to get a good idea of the earnesty he's putting into his quick words. ]


Hello, to all the imPorts out there listening right now.

My name is Louis Bloom. I'm a pretty recent arrival to this world, and I suppose I could go so far as to say our world, now.

But where I'm from, I was the owner of a successful news gathering service. It was our responsibility to ensure that the public received footage of breaking news stories, especially when it concerned crime in the community. This was without a doubt an important role to fill in my old community, but with the hands-on aspect to this one, I would say that it's even more important that news be swift and accurate.

That being said - are there any imPort news production teams already out there? Who do you trust to keep you informed?

[ He gives a momentary break, blue eyes unblinking. ]

...

On a semi-related note, I am looking for information. Firstly, I am welcoming suggestions for a lawyer, specifically one that has experience in cases of personal injury.

Secondly, and to those asking questions about the first, I am looking for any and all information regarding this man.

[ The video flashes to a picture of this man, although it's dark out and John Reese is lit by the fire of a burning building nearby ( though it's hard to tell going by the shot alone ).

Lou's voice continues. ]


A name and what city this man might be taking residence in would be appreciated.

Thank you for your time.

[Gamagori appears, in his usual Goku Uniform, pressed and perfect just like his posture. His eyes closed, arms pulled tight behind him, he stands for a moment, taking a breath before-]

ATTENTION ALL IMPORTS. I, NONAH'S IMPORT AMBASSADOR, AND BOOTCAMP INSTRUCTOR OF CAPE CANAVERAL, GAMAGORI, IRA, AM HERE CONCERNING THE ATTACK ON FEBRUARY 13TH, DURING THE MOST RECENT SWEAR IN. CONSIDER IT A MESSAGE TO YOU, AND ALL IMPORTS, AND DO NOT OVERLOOK IT IN FAVOUR OF LETHARGY!

[Oh yeah. It's that voice you can't get enough of- literally. One of his abilities is to grab and keep your attention with his voice. So despite you wanted to turn this off in favour of lethargy or- whatever the hell Gamagori is talking about, it's incredibly difficult to and you might as well listen to the entire message because trying not to do so will just be more painful- some how. Damn this kid has some pipes.]
The following addresses information gathered from two captured Hornets, asks for volunteers in locating a third in Nonah this weekend, and discussing warnings about the Lightning altering memories. The vaccine produced at StarkTech is also mentioned. Peggy Carter's information about De Chima is also mentioned.And it's Gamagori so- buckle up. )

Hi, it's Barnaby again. I realize many of us are still recovering from this weekend's rescue efforts, but since people expressed interest in the CPR and first aid certification classes, I thought it would be good to follow up with more information.

The Red Cross is willing to offer a course entitled "Responding to Emergencies". It provides a comprehensive skill set to anyone interested in learning how to save a life. Upon completion, you'll be granted a 2-year certification in both First Aid and CPR/AED. In addition, you'll be prepared to respond to a variety of emergencies involving infants, children and adults.

Course modules include: First Aid, Adult CPR/AED, Pediatric CPR/AED, Injury Management, and Disease Transmission Prevention.

Classes will be held at the Nonah Community Center on the following days*:

February 28th: 9:00 am - 5:30 pm
March 7th: 9:00 - 5:30 pm
March 14th: 9:00 - 5:30 pm
March 21st: 9:00 am - 5:30 pm

In other words, every Saturday from February 28th until March 21st, for a total of four days. The course itself is 30 hours long, but a one-hour lunch break is scheduled for each class day.

(*classes may be rescheduled in the event of an emergency, inclement weather, or other extenuating circumstances.)

Non-cardholders who have some prior experience are also encouraged to look into scheduling a skills check between now and then, although this NOT mandatory. Please note that you may only take a skills check once. If you fail, you'll be referred to the certification instructors in Nonah. Anyone who's interested should send a message to:
[Insert contact information for the skills check here!]

How much does it cost?
Responding to Emergencies: $150
Skills check: $120

That said, the Red Cross is offering fee reimbursements for registered imPorts who agree to do some volunteer work.

I realize this leaves unsettled imPorts at a disadvantage, though, so if anyone is willing to sponsor an unsettled imPort, your assistance would be greatly appreciated. Likewise, any unsettled imPorts who want to enroll but can't afford the tuition are encouraged to request help, either in response to this message or in private.

If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to ask.

ETA: People interested in signing up for the course can do so here:
[Link is included here, how convenient is that!]


And on a completely unrelated note, since I don't want spam the network, I'll just go ahead and mention that Kotetsu T. Kaburagi's birthday is on Tuesday, February 17th. Since it falls on the same day as Mardi Gras, we won't be having a birthday party, but please take a moment to offer him your well wishes if you get a chance.

Thank you for reading this.

[She's used to phone calls, and has done more than a few video chats, but for the moment, she's just a little more comfortable communicating the good old fashioned way - text. Maybe it's the pitiful exposed feeling she's got from being kidnapped via teleporter, or just a desire to keep her distance till she figures things out, but either way, this is how she wants to do it.]

Wow, this is nostalgic. It's been a while since my blogging days, and I can't say I missed being a tiny voice in a shouting crowd, like all bloggers are. Still, it was always nice to interact with my fans and express myself a little, so I'm going to go ahead and enjoy the blast from the past. Excuse me if my writing's a little rusty.

[For a few moments, she pauses while writing here, trying to work out what she wants to say, and how.]

I could get all 'rah rah fight the power' here, and advocate striking back against the system, or maybe I could make an argument for fighting evil with the backing of the government and how, shall we say, empowering that might be - but I can't say I'm feeling that political right now. I'm not feeling much of anything. I guess that makes me a bad blogger, but I was never really a good one to start with.

So instead, I'm going to ask a question. What's going on behind the scenes? I know the official rules, what are the unofficial ones? Fill me in on all the dirt.

[ It's not often that Matt actually has something to say publicly like this. He can't really think of the last time he did. However, it seems unfair to dump it all on Kate and make her do it, especially after he went all the way to Greece to make it happen. ]

Per the research into the Hornets done by Commander Shephard and Kate Bishop, and Kate Bishop's suggestion that someone attempt to track down Eleni Wang, I can now confirm that she is, in fact, alive and in Greece. Lil Crawley and I managed to track her down.

[ It may be a miracle that they managed to work together. ]

To that end, I have some new information about the Hornets and the Import situation in general circa 2010. I can confirm that, to the best of my knowledge, everything she had to tell us was the truth as she knew it.

[ He clears his throat. He's not going to elaborate on how he knows that. ]

Richard Peter Wayne, also known as the Black Arrow, was killed during his investigations. He had been attempting to look into potential government cover-ups, but came across the Hornets along the way. Ms. Wang believes they are probably responsible for his death, and that possibly a former hero was involved or may have committed the murder. However, her attempt to investigate his death was cut short by anonymous threats, so she cremated his body and left the country.

[ And deciding to discard some of the detail on her personal life... ]

In addition, she had a fair amount to say about the Import departure in 2010. Unsurprisingly, opinions were sharply divided between the people who believed it was the right thing for them to leave and the people who thought the Imports had run away with government permission. There was a shockingly brief period of increased National Security, which surprises me immensely given my universe's United States, but it later turned out that the Import departure did not in any way escalate international conflict, since the country no longer had it's own, uh...personal superhuman weapons. Consequently, they downgraded the alert after six months.

Ms. Wang also suggested that this may have contributed to the rise of the Hornets, and at least provided them with a new group of willing recruits who were dissatisfied with both the government and the imPorts, since the Hornets side with neither. She emphasized quite clearly that they should be handled with caution and considered dangerous, particularly if former heroes may have fallen in with them.

[ There's the sound of shuffling paper, while he checks his (hideously handwritten nobody can ever decipher) notes. ]

That's the main gist of it. If any of you should come into contact with her family again, she specifically requested that they not be told why she left the country, so I'd appreciate it if you would honor that. Given that she was more than willing to cooperate we should at least be able to do that much in return.

[ He's also deliberately left out some details, such as what her assumed name is or where exactly they found her, but Matt also figures that's something he can reveal to anyone who might want to go speak to her again, and not broadcast widely. ]

[ kanaya knows she has to make this confession, not that she's particularly looking forward to it. but now that they've put her in solitary, nothing about this punishment has been satisfying. she needs something better.

everyone needs to know, but she doesn't want their pity, and doesn't deserve their sympathy. so. she kind of goes a little too far in the other direction, there.
]

I've been quiet the past few days. I say this not as an apology, because I don't particularly give a shit, but as an explanation. For those who don't know me, my name is Kanaya Maryam, an for the past few months I've been moonlighting as a costumed thug. One might even go so far as to say I was a supervillain.

Shocking, isn't it? I was a bit surprised, myself. [ not that she's going to explain that one. ]

As Hobgoblin, I committed numerous crimes, whether disrupting traffic, harassing the costumed set, playing ghost in a haunted house, other, more serious infractions. Kidnapping. Stalking. And...worse than that. [ her flippant tone cracks, her voice falling low and shaky. ] I've-- I've hurt people. People who didn't deserve it. Innocents.

[ there's a fury brimming in that last word, a self-loathing and shame. she can feel her hands shaking, her knuckles going white as she balls her fists. but they won't see that, it's important that they don't. if they recognize any remorse, it will defeat the whole purpose.

she takes a deep breath, letting it out slowly as she collects herself again.
]

For all of these things, the most the local authorities have seen fit to do is stick me in a room alone without my powers. Which is really great, I must say. Wonderful to know that we feed and house our criminals when law-abiding residents have no such amenities, especially when they aren't registered! I must say this world's punitive measures are deeply impressive, it truly overwhelms me with compunction, how much softer-handed it is than I expected when I turned myself in. I suppose I shouldn't be really surprised, when the approach to everything is such a joke, such a limp attitude toward justice is at least consistent.

But it isn't real justice. It's a mockery. [ she thinks of terezi, and wonders if she'd be more embarrassed by the meagerness of it, or that kanaya submitted herself willingly. terezi would know what to do here. ]

I'm sure many of you could do better, someone who really believes in the subject, unless you're too stuck in all the nonsense moralizing humans too often preoccupy themselves with. You're heroes. I'm a villain. That seems simple enough to me.

If you want to see real justice done, I'm not going anywhere.

[Oh hey there, Network. It's the first time Inumuta's been in his own video in a while. It's rather dark where he is- oh yeah. Because it's probably about 3AM on Dec 31st when he posts this.]

Hello, Network. I haven't spoken on this in a while. I hope you haven't all forgotten about me.

[Not that he'd be terribly offended, if anyone did. He knows he can be forgotten, even in the best of times.]

But I've been thinking. About our existence, here. -If you're one to complain about those being philosophical on the Network, please tune out now. It's going to be one of those videos.

[And with that, he politely waits a few seconds before continuing.]

… I've been thinking about the idea of multiple realities converging on this one in particular. Is it possible, this is happening in other places? Is it possible there's duplicate versions of myself, in other worlds aside from the one I "should" be in? Am I succeeding better in other places than this one, or am I progressing more here than anywhere else? How would I even measure this progress?

[Yeah. It's definitely one of those. He's staring intently at the computer screen, although you only can probably see half of his eyes. The other half is shrouded in Glasses Glare.]

It'll be almost a year of my being here. I've seen several of my friends come and go, and I've been accompanied by two of my closest… family, for as long as I've been here. For that, I'm thankful.

Spontaneity is something I still don't fully understand. In fact, I think it's growth on my part to acknowledge that there are some people and some things I'll never understand.

[And at this point, Inumuta looks to the side of his desk, and then brings up in front of his computer screen camera, a green plastic guinea pig ball- you know, the ones they run around in- which is filled to the brim with small baggies of a red and circular hard candy. Inside the ball can be seen a picture of a Capricorn.]

I've come to the conclusion that Will Graham is one of them.

[Inumuta looks intently at the camera, as if it holds the answer to his question, and then squints.]

What the actual hell is wrong with Will Graham?

[This is the "thank you for the present," Will. It's the kind of thank you one should expect, with the gift he was given.]

I realize now something I should have before: I need more than to attend a mere class to learn about these... computers.

[That pause for dramatic emphasis was definitely necessary.]

I have tried attending those courses at the library, but for some reason everyone else there is ancient. I feel odd among the elderly like that. So! I wonder if anyone would be willing to become my Master in this art. I would like to know everything about the Google and other such services. I think they would help me grow better accustomed to this future! I am willing to train for as many hours as it takes, to work as hard as you would teach me!

[When the video comes on, Sai has a book in his hand. From the looks of the cover, it's an encyclopedia of some kind. After a few more moments giving a mildly intrigued look to the page, he addresses the communicator.]

I've been reading up on sports, recently.

[He thought it might help him to relate to his classmates better. Spoilers: it hasn't.]

It's all very interesting--[read: weird as hell; the NFL makes about as much sense to him as the chuunin exams do to anyone here] but there's one particular thing I've noticed that keeps coming up.

Will this be sufficient candy to hand out before I head to that party?

[How much candy is enough candy to give to children cause Satsuki sure as heck doesn't know.]
