Good afternoon! This is just a general question and it's not important, but if you had (or actually do have) wings, what would make you want to NOT have wings anymore? Anyone can feel free to answer, regardless of experience with wings.

[Despite being voice, it's clear the guy talking knows exactly what information he wants but would much rather leave the actual asking to someone else.]

If anyone has met any youths by the names of Cyan, Rin, or Supergirl... I would... appreciate knowing if they are here.

[...]

[With more annoyance,]

Additionally, is there anywhere I can find real books in this city?

awooligan

I guess announcing this sort of thing is what you do on here, so
Héctor Rivera-Adlantis and Neko Adobephotoshop aren't here anymore
Yes I know it's Adomaitis and Nekane, I don't care

[But he'll still make it clear who they are, and stuff. Something something jerk was married to a forgotten guy, being remembered is basic decency or something.]

What I care about is that this means someone else has gotta step up and buy my booze for me
Preferably without the lecture

[This isn't the first time Jonesy has found herself waking up in a strange place she didn't remember going to sleep in. It isn't the first time a robot has woken her up, either.

The stone slab is new, though. As is the explanation that she's on an entirely different world than the one she knows.

She doesn't believe it at first, until she steps outside into an entire city of robots
- and their claim is further backed up by the fact that none of her implants can connect to a satellite to get her GPS location. Or the fact that the wireless matrix of this place is set up way differently than the matrix she's accustomed to.

There is a wireless network, though. And the robots even gave her a tablet to use. So, of course, Jonesy does what any hacker would do in her position: She searches the internet for answers.

And when she fails to find a quick and easy explanation of how to get home, she goes on the internet to complain.]

ok so ive been running the numbers in my head and its starting to seem very likely that this is all real, and that i'm not just experiencing biofeedback induced brain damage OR trapped in a hyper realistic VR sim from which i cannot escape.

in which case i must ask:

what the FUCK

you kidnap the best hacker in LA , take me to an alternate fucking planet in a city filled with sapient robots and dragons and gods and no one wants me to DO anything??

no hacking, no repairs, no IT work? i didnt get grabbed because someone was planning a cool space heist that they need my skills for? i'm just supposed to hug people?

i am feeling EXTREMELY undervalued here.

if i got picked because of the arms then i'm not hugging anyone. you robots can go fuck yourselves if thats what this is about.

Hello, this is Shinji.

I've been growing watermelons, and I've ended up with more than my house could possibly go through. If anyone would like to come and pick one or two of them up, please let me know either here or by contacting me privately. Whatever time works best for anyone, my schedule is flexible, so I can be around to let people through whenever is convenient.

Alternatively, if you don't want to come pick them up yourself, there's a very good delivery service available that can take some out to recipients.

That is all, thank you.

[Katsuki is sitting in his bedroom wearing casual clothes, which ends up being a black tank top and pants. He looks irritated as he looks down at his screen, but then again he usually looks irritated.]

I'll get right to the point. Hugging and physical contact's how we make money and everything, ain't it? I wanna make enough money so let's- let-

[His scowl deepens and his face begins to redden as his frustration grows. His voice goes low and gravely as he tries to cover up his embarrassment.]

Look, I can't be the only one here who wants to get rich and multiple god powers and shit but thinks hugging for it is fucking stupid. I'm willing to hug you idiots and put up with your disgusting smells and stupid fashion choices, and in return we can both get paid and do whatever we want.

Let's do this shit.

[ Mina comes to the screen with a huge smile while wearing her hero suit. she leaves the communicator at a distance so it can capture her whole body, while she waves back at the camera ]

Hey guys!! [ Unlike her last post, she seems a lot more perkier now, the way Mina usually is ] Check it out, check it out!! [ she won't give an explanation, but from her feet and palms, acid starts coming out - a lot of it. It grows and grows, until the acid actually engulfs her completely and forms a shape. As Mina moves, the acid follows along with her movement, working like an outer skin ~~and no, her hero suit doesn't melt, neither does Mina~~

After a while, it finally drips to the floor into a puddle. Mina takes a deep breath, laughing after, and rising her arms again excitedly while she shakes her head like a wet dog ] Did'ja see it?! That's my Acidman!!! Isn't it cool?!

It's my Super Move, I figured it out a couple of months ago. [ she is super proud of herself, that much is clear ]

Oh! By the way! [ she reaches for her face to take off her white mask] I'm living with Bakugou now. I still gotta carry my stuff to his house, does anyone want to give me a hand?

daikonrose

Hello! This is a little sudden, but I'd like to hear some opinions. Anyone who has time, please go ahead and answer! Does it seem to you like the native folks are getting better at keeping the basic requirements of human life in mind? How should a person bargain for things like meal breaks, sleep breaks and so on with potential employers who haven't needed such things themselves in thousands of years? Would it even be possible to persuade someone like that? Would it be possible for someone with an ordinary, mundane human body to impersonate a robot? How would you do it? Would there be a punishment if you got caught, do you think? This is all just brainstorming, so please don't worry about wrong answers! Thank you!

pinkxeno

Oh, is this working...?

Hello! [ a young girl looks back at you, with a huge smile and... Pink skin. And hair. She is also wearing a very flashy suit and a white mask around her eyes and that is totally Mina's hero suit.]

My name is Pinky, your brand new superhero! [ she makes a pose, but then waves her hand] Actually, I only have a Provisional license, but since I was brought here, I want to do what any hero would do and help out.

Though... [ her smile drops a bit, and she puts her hands together apologetically] I will need someone to fill me in on all.... The gods and the barrier and such. [ there is another small pause] And is there a way of knowing if someone from my world is here too? It'd be fun if the rest of my class was here as well-

[ but alright, she is ranting now! Mina will shake her head to stop herself and then grins wide and waves her hand] Thank you!

Hello, everyone! This is Pyra, and I have important news!

For the past year, Honerva and I have been monitoring the energy levels around us, specifically that which makes up the barrier. While the barrier appears uniform, it's actually made up of four distinct signatures of energies. These energies fluctuate throughout the year, and there happens to be one that tends to come out in greater quantities than the others. After studying these energies some more [ And with greater concentration and effort on their part, certainly, because none of these energies can be detected alone-- ] we've discovered that at the point of touch or contact, this energy is undeniably generated, and the unique bands travel towards the direction of their corresponding temples.

If anyone is wondering, we haven't detected any energy generated by touch that might be traveling elsewhere, such as towards the Crawling One or Winged One as mentioned in the archives.

I'm sure some of us remember the following messages received two months ago, "Balance must always be kept"; before that from the Archives, "Balance, [The Winged Lord] told His followers, must always be kept"; and from Nalom last year, "Remember to keep the balance." It might just be that the balance that they're referring to is the four energies in relation to one another, and currently, it seems that Rawna's energy has been dominating for some time. [ Hopefully, however, not for long. ] It doesn't seem productive to simply discourage those aligned to Rawna from engaging in touch, since despite all of these messages of balance, we've seen some definitive changes in this city alone from what we've all accomplished together. We've come so far!

Since Ainir of last year, myself, Honerva, and Lup have been working on a conduit together, forged from nicean and sildar ores, the same ores found in the chasis units of the locals, to take in the excess, unbalanced energy into its core. We're hoping that we'll be able to help correct this balance in a few different ways. Our purposes for this conduit include:

• creating an exoshield around us to help explore outside the city's barriers

• creating a haven with the conduit like a checkpoint or a satellite base outside the barrier

• powering and protecting vehicles as they travel outside the barrier

• to be simply worn by individuals who engage in more touch than others to divert excess, imbalancing energy into the conduit instead of upsetting the balance of the barrier that protects us all.
I'm happy to report that we've presented this prototype and the goals to the researchers, and they seem interested!

Of course if anyone is interested in refining and continuing to work on these projects along with us, just let me know! A fair warning, though, that even though the researches are interested in what we can discover, the priests are not very supportive.

And if anyone is interested in exploring outside the barrier, I would be happy to lend you one of these prototypes to see how well (or faulty), our current version of the conduit works. I'm especially keen on anyone who is willing to explore further down the factory's mine shaft or those interested in finding the potential location of Fractured Hill.

(I would also like to thank Cloud for gathering all the scrap metals from the ruins to help with this project, Besithia for repurposing all the excess metal and continuing to investigate more on his own, Magolor who is no longer here but I've bounced ideas off of, and Noct for being so very supportive and tolerant of me coming home with metal shavings all over me.)

[ OOC: For fairness to all the people who wish to have their characters go beyond the barrier and limited slots, I'm going to only be counting those characters who expressed interested and responded on this post. ]

[ FILTERED AWAY FROM IKARI SHINJI ]

In my world, Lilin tried to complete "Instrumentality Project". In Instrumentality, the flaws in every living being would be complemented by the strengths in others, thus erasing the insecurities in people's hearts. No one would ever perish, no one would ever leave, and everyone would understand everyone, deeply.

No insecurities in people's hearts, no hatred and no confusion. Your mind would be at peace. True Paradise.

In Instrumentality Project, you’d have to lose one thing and one thing only, which is what brings you so much pain: individuality. All souls would be gathered and united as one. This would create an existence where nobody exists singularly, but merely as part of the whole.

[ so ]

Would you accept it? Would you prefer eternal happiness or your individuality?

Hello! If we haven't met, my name is Kyoko Mogami! I noticed the research center is offering money for new recipes, but it seems like they want it to be some kind of team effort? In any case, I already had some notes written up about some of the dishes I've been able to make satisfactorily since I got here, so if anybody would like to help me with the taste testing and descriptions, I can neaten up those recipes for submission. And of course we would split the compensation! Oh, but I've also gotten some additions to my replicator since I wrote down those other recipes, so I can do a lot more now! So far I have kombu, bonito flakes, miso, soy sauce, sake, and tofu! So if you want to try something that's not in the notes, just tell me what it is! Nikujaga would be nice, right? Please contact me if you're interested!

[Good morning Havenwell! A chipper little guy (a Pokemon or something?!) is waving into the camera some time a bit before lunch on this fine Lasra day.]

Hello to my fellow Havenwell citizens~! It's me, Magolor. You may have heard of me already! The natives of our beautiful city called me your emissary, and I take their words very seriously! When I feel like it.

[Smile.]

Hehehe, just kidding! I'll get to the point now that I've introduced myself. I really do care about closing the culture and knowledge gap between us offworlders and the natives. Since we're going to be living here for a while and they owe us so much, it's only right that everyone's as comfortable, happy, and informed as possible. That's my job!

I'm going to pay the council another visit soon, so all I'm asking of you is that you chip in with anything you'd like me to either pass along or investigate. What do you really wish the natives knew about taking better care of us? What do you reeeeally wish we knew about whatever's going on here? Pass it along to me, and I'll pass it along to them and get the conversation started! Last time they listened to our requests and put some real work into fixing up the food replicators, but by now I think we've all got some more important concerns to pass along, huh?

Anyhoo, you can respond to this message if you have any input. Or, if you'd rather things be off the record and a little more personal, I encourage you to come meet me today at Petals & Pages! I'll be there waiting for anyone who wants to chat. The couches are super comfy! Major shout-out to Vianca, the second-tiniest entrepreneur!

[He's the tiniest, duh. Not counting Vianca's plant self. He's being a good boy and not mentioning that about her!]

Laaaast thing: I'm going to see if I can't get another look at those archives we were all working in a few months back, so let me know if there's anything you'd like me to keep an eye out for when I do. Even I can't read an entire library at once. All right, I've blabbed enough! Come drop by for a chat! Or embrace cold technology and reply to me here. ♥ Bye byeee~.

(( There is no log post to go with this network post; instead, have a mingle toplevel! Feel free to reply here or there as you and your character prefer \o/ ))

[ It's somewhat late at night, and Rin is apparently out in the gardens, sitting under a tree and watching the sky ]

Rin's a bit lonely, with Miss Aqua gone. Mm, and it's hard to look for food here, when Rin doesn't know where she's allowed to take food from? Rin's just wondering... is there anyone who can show Rin what she's allowed to take?

[ Guess who is actually sleeping in the gardens about half the time, and ... probably pinching food wherever she can get it. What is money, she's never had it and has no idea how to manage it. ]

heron

[ when the feed turns on, there is a man with large white wings standing too close. he squints at it quizzically before moving back with a frown that barely mars his beauty. his wings flap erratically behind him. ]

My sister, Leanne, seems to be missing. I have searched everywhere but she cannot be found. I — [ reyson bites it off, frustrated before taking a deep breath. ] — I will assume she has returned home as I know there have been cases of people . . . leaving. And I have no reason to suspect foul play. The Gods have deemed it so.

[ but, oh, it is a bitter pill that for a moment his face cracks from the effort from it. but reyson has borne worse. ]

Perhaps . . . if you could, please share some words or prayer to your own Gods to watch over her. Or share me stories of your deities. Are they kind? Cruel? Are Gods strangers to you?

shroudedsecrets

Greetings.

The conditions outside of the barrier are extremely poor, confirming what had been indicated to us previously. The atmosphere is heavy, and full of toxins, and currently uninhabitable.

I have attached some images for those who may be curious.

Be aware, however, that for those of you who might have the ability to withstand such conditions in your previous universes, it will still pose a danger to you here.

... That is all.

[And as the text indicates, attached to this fairly open message are quite a few snapshotted images, and even a brief shaky video or two taken of the outside just beyond the breach, indicating the state of the wall from the outside just before the repairs were completed.

A few shots focus on the conditions of the broken and corroded buildings, ones that indicated that the city had once been larger. One of these shots even captures an odd looking small lizard, hiding among the rubble.

There's a few wider shots of the area, revealing some bleached bones of a large, unidentifiable creature among empty expanses of dry, cracked wasteland, a little further off.

Lastly there seem to be slightly blurred images of some of the monster activity, from further away.]

heron

[ the feed starts to show a large, dainty looking man with large white wings peering at the feed before pulling back, satisfied. ]

Greetings. My name is Prince Reyson of the Heron Clan.

As you know, we have trouble lately with the breach. To ensure such a thing does not occur so suddenly, I thought about proposing a part-time perimeter guard of the walls. I think we would be better prepared should anything happen again.

Also, as I know some people were hurt or struggling, you are welcome to see me. I have the power of the galdr which means I can soothe one's spirit, trauma and pain. Should you have need of my abilities, do let me know.

twistedempathy

[The city is still in a state of disarray, though the fighting is over. Everyone will surely need to pitch in for some extensive repair work to make Havenwell what it once was. Will is sitting on a somewhat mangled chair on a cafe's patio, disheveled and powdered with stone dust, looking more exhausted and discouraged than most people here have ever seen him--unless, of course, they happened to help him endure the agony of the battle's psychic backlash.

He's doing his best to smile regardless, and holds up a slightly rumpled piece of paper to show the camera; on it are some surprisingly good line art head shots of Akira, Akechi, and Kei done in pen. They may not be exactly artistic, but they're at least faithful to their subject matter; he's even helpfully tagged each with hair and eye colors, since he could only work in monochrome.]

Has anyone seen these three recently? My roommates all vanished during the fighting. I figured they must have had their hands full, and maybe they got hurt and needed to stay with someone, but.....

They aren't answering their tablets, and they're not at any of the temples. I've been searching around town, but I haven't found them yet, and Arche can't pick up any scent trails, either. I'm starting to think maybe they got sick, and..... got worse.

[Anyone who's seen or experienced the strange illness that can grip the newcomers may understand what he's talking about, and why he's so worried--people fading out of existence entirely is a frightening prospect. His voice is quieter now, as he reaches out to end the recording and submit it to the network.]

.....I'm not sure I want to stay in my house anymore.

song_princess

Hello everyone, I have a question if I may be so bold to inquire.

I am curious with all the different worlds out there gathered here... How does one celebrate the date of birth. Is it worth celebrating even when it is it time of great sorrow? What are the traditions surrounding it?

I cannot offer much in return of such information, perhaps a hug or a song. Thank you for answering the curiosity of one as myself.

flawed_immortality

[Cor was not intending, initially, to do this as a video. Such requests would certainly go better if someone has a face to go with the voice, can see the type of person they'd be working with. He's as stern as ever, even if there are subtle indicators that he's been exerting himself recently. The ever-present jacket discarded for once, sweat clinging to his face, breathing slightly elevated.]

I know I am not alone in being unused to such... quiet. I suspect many of you are from worlds where such unquestionable peace is not the norm. I am a soldier, as I have ever been, and there is familiarity in the discipline of body and mind.

[A noise off screen, an animal perhaps? Something dying? A lazy king snoring? The deepening scowl on Cor's face makes it apparent that whatever it is Cor isn't happy about it.]

If anyone would like to join me in the mornings for training routines perhaps we can teach one another of the fighting styles of different worlds.

[Again a noise, this time more like a chainsaw or motor boat than an animal and Cor takes a moment to wipe sweat from his brow, heave a sigh and his expression turns a touch apologetic.]

Also if anyone has access to a chess board or mahjong table they'd be willing to share I would greatly appreciate it.
