[Castiel has his voice back! This means it's time to go over several things, many of which are recent developments anyway, and he looks a little harried. He's had a busy day. First on the agenda...]

I am attempting to collect information on how many here have which abilities, as well as what level of power they are at, specifically for those who have experienced more than one increase in strength. Those of us at what would essentially be 'level three' seem few, and it is both out of curiosity and practical application that collecting such information would be warranted.

Therefore, if there are those who are willing to share this information, it would be appreciated. Anonymous answers are also of academic use, if you are concerned about revealing too much about your power.

[Alright, mission one accomplished. Objective two...]

There was discussion recently about a system of representatives and of emergency response. The latter seems a decent idea, and there has been discussion for some time of organizing a group specifically for action in times of crisis, such as attacks on the city. This would, however, not be a group with a leader or a hierarchy, but simply a team of individuals with experience and powers that are of use in such a situation, so that those who are unaccustomed to battle need not take part or be at risk.

Ideally, this group would know of all the individuals involved in it for reference, and to be able to contact each other when necessary. Training and practice could be coordination internally as well, so that those involved are used to fighting or working together. Those who have interest in such a group, or insight into this idea, are encouraged to speak. I will compile a listing of those who would like to take part.

[And an awkward pause, before something completely different. He sets up a minor filter.]

[Filtered away from Daphne Allen]

My... My wife recently arrived here.

[Another pause. He has no idea what he's doing.]

I do not have my ring here, but there must be somewhere to procure one, or someone with the knowledge of how to create one.

[Someone help him out on this?]

[Daphne is sitting cross-legged on Castiel's bed, frowning thoughtfully into the holographic video recorder. She thought she had what she wanted to say all worked out, but suddenly, she's at a loss for words. It's kind of hard to absorb that a good chunk of the world you thought you knew isn't really what it seems, but she seems intent to allow that to remain her business, and no one else's.

Besides, she has important things to discuss. Important things.]

Hello.

[It's said a little uncertainly.]

I'm... my name is Daphne, I just got here yesterday morning. I'm in the house of Sigyn, but I'm staying in the -- Odin? district for now. At least, I think that's where I am. I haven't really wrapped my mind around the entire concept yet.

[Bluh bluh the network doesn't care, Daphne. Her cheeks grow a little pink -- public speaking is so not her thing -- before she continues.]

I... have the power of healing. And in my world, I was a nurse, so -- I wanted to know if anyone needed that kind of thing around here. I'd be willing to start as soon as possible. So -- thanks.

[And then, she smiles briefly, before she shuts off the feed.]

( Filtered to Team Free Will // Private // Unhackable] )

[ The video feed flickers on to show a flustered young lady, her cheeks blushing all too red that it's anyone's wonder if she's down with the flu/fever. She fidgets for a moment, seeming to take a while to compose herself, stifling a yawn. Then she smiles, a small shy one, her green eyes mildly confused and hesitant. ]

Ah... Hallo there. I guess I should introduce myself. My name is Liechtenstein, or more formally, the Principality of Liechtenstein. [ Now that sounds slightly too formal even to her own ears. If possible, her ears redden even further. ] Urm, just... Liechtenstein will do.

[ She fumbles briefly with the bracelet, trying to keep the view above her shoulders, as if embarrassed to show what's below. She clears her throat, pulling herself together even as she tries to still her wildly beating heartbeat. ] This might seem like a strange question, but if anyone has seen my brother, could you let me know? His name is Switzerland, and— [ At this point, she can't help giggling softly, before quickly catching herself. ] —he tends to carry a rifle around.

[ A small nod of her head in reminiscent of a curtsy. ] Thank you.

[For whatever reason Train is making probably the most pathetic, annoyed pouty face a grown man of 25 could ever possibly make]

Man, I forget to look at this thing for days and then I learn when I do that everyone got a beard?
Laaaaaame.
I want a beard.
Well- not like a real one, but like at least one of those little chin stubble things.

...
Actually scratch that, I'll just end up laughing at myself in the mirror for days.

[Truly he only focuses on the most important things in life.]

[When the video starts up, you can see a very tired-looking Kate Beckett sitting in a hospital bed. She's rubbing the bridge of her nose for a moment before she remembers that she turned on her bracelet and looks up, giving a small, tired smile.]

Not gonna lie, I honestly have no idea how this happened. But I must have lost my bracelet... [She shakes her head.] You weren't kidding Sam, that was seriously... yeah. Not fun.

If you guys tried to reach me in the past...week? Was I seriously gone a week? Anyway, if you tried to reach me and I didn't pick up...that's the reason. I'm sorry if I made any plans or anything. I really have no idea how I could have been so stupid.

[Kate sighs, rubbing her temple and trying to calm a raging headache she's had since she woke up. Right. The video.]

Conan, I'm sorry about disappearing like that. Especially with all I left you guys at the Forensics Unit...

I'm in Room 212 if you need me. I don't know when the nurses here will let me go. They seem to be really enthusiastic about my state of being, but it's not like I was shot or anything. [Even she cringes at how poor of taste that comment was.]

I'll be answering all the messages in my inbox shortly. Sorry about that guys, but I’m back now.



[filtered | private to castle]

Hey… [She’s not even going to try and look any less tired than she is. That whole mask she had up during the network video is gone. Kate doesn’t have to pretend with Castle, and boy is she tired.]

I’m…sorry. I didn’t…I know I- I didn’t mean to disappear like that. I don’t even remember taking it off, I swear. Just… I’m fine. Now. At least, I feel okay.

[She’s going to thread her fingers through her hair, pulling it back off her face.]

And if you could bring some, you know, real food…yeah. See you when you get here.

[ The video shows the interior of Freya's kitchen, with Peeta standing among bowls and measuring cups (most of which are still clean. Measuring by eye is much quicker) and various ingredients. The countertop is covered in almost as much flour as Peeta, himself, is. While his shirt sleeves have been pulled, the shirt that he bought with Rue has hardly been spared. It's covered with flour and paint (or possibly food coloring. He's not entirely sure right now) alike ]

Say someone was suffering from insomnia or something close to it, what would you suggest?

[ He doesn't bother looking up from his work as he speaks, instead continuing on with what he's doing. This cake won't frost itself ]

And while I'm at it, does anything get food coloring out of clothes? Or maybe this is paint...

Figured you could use a hand, you mooch.

[Whose trying to get his lazy best friend a job. THIS GUY.]

Whoever thought it would be entertaining to take my bracelet from me, know this:

I will find you. And I will make sure you know just how entertaining it really is.




[[ ooc: So yes! Erik is back and angry and in the hospital, if you want to come visit. Just be warned, he's not a fan of...well, anything at the moment. Wow every post I make for this guy (all of two) are all him being really pissy. I should probably check that out.]]

I am super sorry, guys! I know I asked everyone a bunch of questions just a few days ago, but I forgot something!

[ She leans down, fumbling for something beneath her desk, and then -

Jade thrusts some sort of makeshift book right up to the bracelet's camera with this drawn on the cover: ]



I'm making a comic book for Roxas! Staring Griddlebone, the roguish yet charming Squiddle pirate with a heart of gold. Critique welcome! And if anyone knows where to find actual comic books, I'd appreciate it. I just don't think I'm cut out for this business!

[after a bit of tinkering, he got the video feed to turn on & soon the entire network can see the amazing guy cecil's charming smile]

Hey there! Got that to work! You know this thing is pretty cool. Bet the guys at Sheridan wouldn't have thought of making something like these before. It's really, really cool!

[wait guy, you can't fanboy where people can see]

O-Oh right, so I'm looking a place I can find where there are more devices like these? [he gestures to his bracelet] Asgard sure has pretty neat technology & I'd like to see if there's more around here.

Or you know, a library would do too. Is there one around, uh... where am I... Heimdal... Heimdall, right. Anywhere around here would be great but hey, I'm not opposed to wandering around the city either. As long as I'm pointed in the right direction.

[then it looks like he forgot something] Woah, totally forgot! I'm Guy Cecil. It's nice to meet you all out there. Thanks in advance for any help.
