[When Leeloo comes on screen the haziness of smoke is wafting around her. She's covered in blackened ash, it's in her hair and smudged across one cheek in a familiar pattern that makes it look like she had tried to wipe it off.

You might notice in the video once some of the smoke clears that she's in the Thor kitchen. She's sitting on the counter, legs crossed Indian style and there's a demolished microwave behind her still pouring out fumes.

She coughs and waves the air in front of her face before leaning her head into one hand, frowning into the camera.]

It does not work correctly.

ooc; Thor residents are more than welcome to action tag into this post!

[It's off-hand musing time, with your host, some emo guy!]

You know what I miss? The outdoors. Yes, I know, we can still go outside, but I miss fields as far as you can see, and trees, and hunting animals outside, instead of just a sea of grey. [Like he used to, sometimes, before the Shades went berserk on everyone.] And speaking of seas, I almost miss fishing, too. I lose my head to it, but it was a great way to pass the time... and some freshly-caught fish, there aren't many things more delicious when you fry that up.

[Ahh, memories. His expression is soft, thinking back to those halcyon days.]

And what of you all? What do you miss about home?

[He had already spent a day observing other conversations on the network. Jin hadn't personally socialized with many people, focused on determining the situation as best he could without interruption. He realized how unusual it was that he was here when he had last been with several people and had one held close to him — Yunoha. Now, however, he had to address the other inhabitants and integrate to learn more. He speaks in a calm even voice regardless of current events.]

Excuse me. Is there anyone in an official position that I can speak to?

[Short and to the point. Are there leaders here? People who aren't the gods that have authority and to whom he can speak. It would be the most efficient method for learning more. They should have greater knowledge than regular inhabitants.

Just as it had been at the academy, there were many of the Reaiglers. Their presence was still unsettling, but it was good that he had some experience with them before coming to this place where where there may be even more of them. He refrained from asking about Yunoha. Perhaps later he could ask someone, but so far he hadn't noticed an indication that she was there. However, there had been two familiar names.

One of them may not recognize him. He isn't as unsettled as his first time immersed in an environment with Reaiglers and people crowding him. He's collected and alone in his own room. There's the usual calm in his voice. The other should one way or another, but Jin isn't going to help him figure it out.]

[This? This is from a very wiggle-happy dog and Alice attempting to clean him up after a walk. He's not covered in suds, but he's certainly drenched, and so is Alice, much to her displeasure.]

Wait a minute... come back here, Julius! Stop it, you're going to break something!

[Who would have figured a wet dog could get so hyper. He runs all over and Alice attempts to grab him down, falling in the process. Oh, he doesn't break anything, it's Alice off screen colliding with the dog and a crash.]


[ooc; Hel residents are free to notice a very happy dog running around after a bath and Alice has been chasing after him :D]

[ What's this? Pinkie's baking? How unheard of! And she's clothed now too what a surprise

And not only that, but she's singing! Event or no, Pinkie is one musical pony. Sheesh, even after this week she's just gonna keep right on singing.

Mares of Ponyville, the tune may sound a little familiar. ]

I'm making lots of cupcakes; they're the best, I guarantee!
Everypony's welcome to them, and I'm sure that you'll agree

That after just a single bite you'll want more than just one!
So, if you want some cupcakes please come outside to have fun!

There's lots n' lots of flavors so there's something for everypony,
Like strawberry, chocolate, mint and even cheese and macaroni!

It's okay if you're not from Loki, the invitation goes to all,
Cupcakes are to be shared so please come to outside Loki Hall!

Don't worry about numbers, I've been baking morn and noon,
So if you want some treats, I'm sure I'll see you very soon!

[ Mac n' cheese cupcakes?! Yes. The baking ingredients in the kitchen are limited so she had to improvise. And don't worry, they're actually quite tasty! So basically, if you want cupcakes, COME 'N GIT IT. ]

[[ EDIT: With the help of Shika, I have concocted a full list of flavors! Prepare for some odd ones. ~


If she stole your food, sorry! ]]

[The person on the video feed might look familiar to some of you out there, though much... younger than you might remember. It might be seen as a curse, but as soon as he starts talking, certain people in the know might realize something else is going on entirely.]

This kinda looks like that thing Mickey and Riku were using...

[At this point, he speaks up a little louder, though he still seems to be talking to himself]

I thought we beat all the bugs, so... why am I in another world?

[Not that he minds necessarily, he's just... very confused. Did they miss something? At last, he seems to address the feed itself.]

Riku? Mickey? Are you there?

[After a substantial amount of panic, shouting and demanding to know where his friends are, Kurogane has finally given up on finding them in the palace and turned to this strange bracelet. He manages to get the audio feature working, vaguely remembering how telephones and stuff like that worked in Hanshin and Piffle.]

Oi. [His tone is tense and he obviously has to force himself to keep calm. This is not a happy man.] I need someone to tell me how the hell I get back to where I was and who's responsible for this shit. [Another interference from that guy? It doesn't look like it but who the hell else...] I don't have time for this crap.

Kid, manjuu... Mage... If you guys are here, let me know now. [He sounds more and more stressed as he goes on.] If anyone's seen a kid with brown hair carrying a girl or a guy with blond hair and an eyepatch, say so. [Pauses for a moment, tense.] If this thing even fucking works! [Kurogane growls and tries to turn the communicator off, quickly getting frustrated and just slamming his fist against the wall, with an audible crash.]

I only let go for one fucking second, damnit...

The Doctor-- The Tenth Doctor has um, gone home. 

[ The screen flickers on to a blonde kid with a beanie pulled down so low it almost covers his eyes.  He has an expression that somehow manages to be both incredibly confused and incredibly pleased at the same time.  The feed wiggles around a little, and from the way his arm is positioned just off screen it's pretty clear he's screwing around with moving it the holographic panel. ]

Oh my god this is so awesome... and I thought my cellphone was cool.

[ The feed wiggles again... and then again more rapidly.  Someone apparently is having a little much fun with his new toy.  It abruptly stops and the teen looks almost sheepishly at the screen. ]

Oh crap... that was on wasn't it? Yeah... it was.  I, uh.. sorry to anyone watching that.

[ Kazu is silent for a moment and tugs nervously on his hat for a moment.  It looks like he might just be ready to escape this embarrassment all together and turn his neato bracelet thingermajiger off, but he pipes up again soon after. ]

I guess if anyone is out there this is a good time to ask if this whole thing is for real? That maid kind of explained things but she was... vaguely creepy.

[ And here is one person who hadn't shown her face in a long while. This is the Lady Morgana, a long gown, pale skin and black hair caught up in a messy bun.

A messy..? Yes, for once, she doesn't look flawless. But that is because of where she is.

Lady Morgana is in the kitchen and from the look of it, she is baking.

A royal woman baking, yep.

At her side, there is a rather nice looking pile of cookie dough and a few trays of cookies which she had, at last, after many weeks, managed to comprehend how to bake.

But now she's not baking them, rather she is trying something new. But she looks confused. ]

Mix the eggs - do they mean one at a time or all together?

[ watch her frown at the recipe. ]

Has anyone ever attempted baking a cheese cake? I find myself rather confused. I managed the crust but I can't comprehend the rest of it.

[ and now watch her just...eat a bit of cookie dough. This is hard, ok? ]

There are two questions I wish to have answered.

[ Hullo Asgard, goodbye Asgard, someone is remembering his etiquette lessons again. yes, sure, this is how you talk to people.

At least Ja'far isn't throwing anything this time..! (and if you have heard ~mysterious crashing noises~ in Heimdall last week? Then let's ignore those, that was certainly not his doing...erm ) Anyway, taking a deep breathe here, someone is really rather tense ]

I have been told that the comings and goings of the people trapped in this place are not self-determined, rather, they're controlled by external forces.

Those left behind can be caught too, and those trapped in this city are liable to disappear without prior warning. I take it that there's no possibility to know how they are fairing?! Those self-named gods would not consent to lowering themselves enough to relief our worries most likely and--

[ stopping right there because even Ja'far realises that he is losing his cool. No, he has survival instincts, why are you asking? There's a hand massaging at his temple now, the movement rough, the knuckles dyed dark blue. Ink? Bruises? Who knows, he doesn't seem bothered by them at least ]

I find myself without employment at the moment, that would be the second reason behind this...video. I am not comfortable with that arrangement and wish to inquire about the possibility of rectifying this.


( OOC: SO, Ja'far without work is a REALLY BAD THING, he gets rashes for one {!!} but he could avoid those by camping out in the library reading like a loon. As for the other, he miiiight have taken to just. picking up things he finds in Heimdall and putting them in order. folding clothes. cleaning shoes. filling out other people's crossword puzzles! Feel free to have noticed that and bite him for it. ALSO, I am probably falling asleep soon so I will tackle this when I get back!!)
