Even - or perhaps especially - in the wake of a fallen god, I find the utter lack of law enforcement in this city fascinating. How far have the limits been pushed, I wonder?

[the video is a bit shaky because - well, it’s moving from one person to another. someone gruffly says,]
You do it.
[there is a rough, hurried sort of whisper from someone trying to be quiet but at the same time understandably frustrated.] Me? What on earth am I supposed to say?
I don’t know, Charles. I’ve spent the last few hours talking to people, I’m tired. Say something. Anything. [pause] Not …. regular things. [he looks at charles, expecting him to understand this just by looking. but when he doesn’t register a word, erik repeats, rather impatiently,] Things.
[the english voice again:] Oh, because I haven’t? For heaven’s sake - give it here - [and the video finally focuses on the man in the cardigan]
Uh - hello. My name is Charles Xavier and this is my - [a pause. they’ve only just met for the first time after the cuban crisis and while he agrees that they should put that aside to deal with the immediate crisis, yes okay, god - well. things.] - my associate, Erik Lehnsherr. Who some of you may have already met. As well as myself. And we would like to -
-- we? [wait. there’s something more offensive - ] Associate?
Look, you said I was to do the talking, I get to do the talking my way.
Yes, but - [slight growling.] We agreed.
I’m trying to sound professional. Will you just - [hushed whispering again] - yes I know what we agreed, but this is hardly the time to bring me to task over terminology.
That’s not what I’m doing. [and then - ] Fine.
[charles looks somewhat remorseful and returns to the video.] As I was saying, I’m Charles and this is my friend, Erik. [he is looking at this video camera with the most deadpan look he can manage despite thinking he sounds like a seven-year-old.] We come from the planet Earth in the year nineteen-sixty-two, for what that’s worth to anyone. And while we’re up to speed on the situation at hand, we - [turning to erik - erik turns the camera away again] - what do we want? I mean obviously we want to make sure we haven’t managed to miss anyone we know from home.
[erik is quiet for a bit, considering, and then he turns the camera to him and says,] We would very much like to talk to those who are familiar with our names and our work. [in a hushed tone to charles:] I don’t know if ‘work’ is the right word. But -- well --
No, work...works. Um. Oh! If there’s any more information on our new location, whether personal or from a third source --
-- I can tell you about that. [annoyed.]
You’ve been here all of five minutes, I was thinking more along the lines of a history book.
I’ve been around. [an annoyed huff.] I can tell you things. [wait, that’s not very eloquent.] I’d be glad to accompany you to the library. [THERE.]
Well. Thank you. And if anyone else out there has recommended reading or would simply like to say hello, then feel free. We’re - [oh no it’s too late and rude to switch to singular pronouns and let’s face it the next part is a blatant lie] - friendly. [he didn’t use ‘very’ on your behalf, asgard.]
[erik, on the background, looks like he was about to say something to that again, but decides not to. he turns the feed off.]
ooc; erik and charles will reply. rather slowly. BUT WE'RE HERE, WE PROMISE

[The feed opens on the remains of a pretty grisly scene, in Sigyn district. There's dried blood all over the place, like someone beheaded another person here, and there's some graffiti reading "the deer jumped from the cliff". Then it turns around, and oh, look--Elphaba does not, in any way, look happy.
In fact, she looks downright pissed.]
All right. [And yes, she sounds more than a little angry. She sounds like she's going to fly straight off the handle any minute now.] What in Oz happened while we were away?

Tell me about the dead in your world. Not specifics. I don't care about dear deceased Aunt Marge. Do they stay dead? Or are there arrangements like the one we have here?

[ He never thought he would say this, but - wow, he really hopes he's not the only one who didn't go on the gods' mandated trip to wherever the hell it was everyone was going. The network had certainly been quiet, but... ]
If anyone is left in the city, I would like to put in a formal request for reading materials. Please bring whatever you can pilfer to the library promptly to the prison.
[ And then, as an afterthought.... ]
Thank you.

[The voice that comes on is light and cheerful and opens with a laugh.]
Hey hey- quick question guys. So I've talked to a few people over the past couple weeks, and I'm getting the idea that a lot of you aren't too keen on the whole 'murdering your fellow man' thing. Which totally surprises me, since I thought we were pulled here to murder things! Or fight a war, I guess.
So this is a little informal poll!
Uh- how many of you have killed someone before? Of your own species, or close enough! Cold blood, warm blood, lots of blood- method or reason don't really matter.
If you want to give details, that'd be awesome.
--I guess I should start, though, huh? I've killed loads of people. Like a lot! [More laughter.] Buuut my world's had at least two wars just in my lifetime, so there's never been any shortage of targets, nya ha ha!
Okay, your turn!

Traveling soon far outside the city. Seeking 1-2 companions who know how to keep their mouths shut. Serious inquiries only.

Death is temporary here. Travelers unlucky enough to die will find themselves resurrected by the gods within the day.
With that in mind.
Needed:
One subject with a very open mind and a pressing need for money.
Skeptics and the morally offended need not respond.
[ And here's hoping he will be removed from the city before he has to pay back all of the incredible debt he's accruing at the bank to fund his little projects. ]

I am looking for someone who is skilled with codes.
It's not time sensitive, just a curiosity.
I'm not sure I have much to offer in return, but maybe I can tempt you with tea and good company?

Question.
Say a Traveller really wants to be doing something useful but he or she is coming up short on the ideas front. I'm not talking filling time here, I'm talking taking care of business, touring the facility, picking up slack.
For the sake of this question, let's assume that they're already training with their magical ability (not exactly combat orientated) and learning some fighting skills. But they're kind of new to this whole general public experience and feel like they should be doing more. Let's also assume kind of average in the skills department. I mean, there's stuff they're good at -- really, really good at lbh -- but none of that applies here in no-power central.
Advice?
((ooc: replies may be slow -- have a busyish day but wanted to get this up without further delay!))

In Hel district there is a cemetery.
Inside it, a headstone lies. A place where those mourning their loved ones who are not buried in Asgard. To all those who have lost someone in their respective realms and have no grave, no headstone to visit and pay their respects to.
It is found near a tree unto which a triskele is carved.
[ and that is the whole message. yep. ]

[ The voice that snaps over the bracelet is sharp but bored. ]
Required: a number of test subjects for this ridiculous, useless power that I've been assigned. Willing subjects preferable, though this is not set in stone.
Compensation will be provided.
