[The video clicks on and it's clear it has been stabilized and tested a few times before this recording goes live. The view is simple, professional. A man in his twenties seated at a desk, a blank wall behind him. Just at the edge of the view one can see a glass ashtray, smoke still curling up from a recently extinguished cigarette. The man is wearing a pristine white lab coat, dark grey shirt, perfectly pressed. Crisp. Sharp.

Not unlike the piercing gaze behind heavy, plastic framed glasses.]

Good afternoon, Havenwell. It seems, for the duration of your extended stay here, there has not been a proper medical facility available. I understand the native populace has done their best to accommodate organic forms but their overall understanding of, at least human, physiology is decidedly lacking.

I would like to offer my services.

[A slight incline of his head, eyes dropping from making contact with the camera lens briefly. A humble servant, here to assist. ]

Dr. Albert Wesker, Ph.D. My training has all been through American programs but I have had the opportunity to learn from specialists abroad as well. My particular field is in immunology, nearly ten years postdoctoral research into vaccines for a particular virological taxon. Not quite the same as clinical work but I assure you I am more than qualified.

((Again, Wesker's Permissions are here if you want to avoid some of the more unsavoury aspects of his character and canon))

Lance, if you're seeing this, turn it off now. I mean it.

[Keith is sitting alone in his room, a notebook in hand and pen at the ready.]

I don't normally do this kind of thing, but I guess I can utilize my resources to compensate for uh...my social skills. So.

[He exhales deeply, closes his eyes for a moment, and looks back at the screen. He looks very serious, though there is the faintest of blushes on his pale cheeks.]

Romantic dates. What is really romantic? As dramatic as possible, but still doable.

begguiling

[It's the beginning of the month, and you know what that means, don't you? Don't you by now? Magolor is hoping that force of habit will have everyone coming to expect these in time. Either way, here he is, giving the camera a chipper little wave and salute.]

Hellooooo, fellow citizens of Havenwell old and new! It's Magolor again, your good friend and emissary. ♥ I have some important news this time! . . . But before I get to that, don't forget about this, okay?

[There's a link attached; it's the personals-esque document from last month. Why yes, he is going to shill it out again.]

Completely optional, of course, but think about how happy you'll make me if you fill it out! Who wouldn't want to brighten my day? And that of your fellow citizens and all that.

But anyway, now that we've had our commercial break, I have something else important to share with you all! As you may know, I managed to weasel my way into the Havenwell Archives recently. Completely legally, I promise! But boy are they careful about who gets in . . . so it's only right that I share my findings for the sake of everyone who can't wiggle in so easily, hmm? I didn't have as much time as I'd like, but I did manage to document what I had time for. You can read it for yourself, see?

[And there is indeed a second file attached. Hell yes, it's (mago)lore time! Everyone thank your lovely mods for preparing that for us!]

It's some very interesting stuff, and I'm not just saying that because I had to go far out of my way to get it for us, okay? I mean it! And just for the record, I do accept snacks as thanks, but I also like a friendly hug. Remember, it's good for the planet! ♥

Until next time! Bye byeeee~!

jinzhong

[The camera flicks on to show a slightly scruffy Chinese man. A large tattoo of an eagle on his chest can be seen poking out from the top of his sleeveless shirt, and there's a tattoo of a Chinese dragon wrapping around his right arm. He looks like he could be a dangerous man...except for the fact that he's beaming.]

So, Havenwell, huh? If I heard it all right, sounds like we just gotta hug it out to get things back to normal around here. I gotta tell you, guys, there are definitely worse ways to save the world.

[He looks a little haunted on that last sentence, but he snaps out of it quickly, right back to his cheerful self - which is at least partially a facade.]

Look, I gotta ask, though...anyone seen a lady named Brigid? Redhead, kinda ripped, really pretty, some kind of American accent...New York? Brooklyn? [Boston, Jackie, but close enough. All he knows about America is from movies and what people on Konryu have told him. Which isn't much.] ...I dunno. Just thinkin', since she disappeared out of Aifaran before me, maybe she made it here, too.

[Ohhhh, he hopes she's here. He misses her like burning.]

sealsthedarkness

[Oh, hey! Look who's back!

If you know Link, you know he's usually pretty easygoing - which makes the fact that he's practically frantic right now more disturbing than usual.]

I was gone? How long was I gone?! Who's still here?

Kiwi? Aqua?

...anyone?

[Waking up suddenly to find all his friends are dead and gone has already happened once. He doesn't want it to happen again.]

flawed_immortality

[Cor's not great at this whole party thing, especially as this time it's not just a family gathering but intended for the friends they'd made here as well. The video starts with Cor sitting in a cushy white and grey striped armchair, a stone fireplace beside him glowing warmly. It's a classy set up and far above the townhouses they've been in.]

It's New Years, celebrations are in order. His Majesty, Ignis, and I have obtained a larger space and we'd like to offer our home for the festivities. Feel free to stop in, have some snacks, and await midnight with us.

[Locked from Regis]
[He looks a little paranoid at first, double, then triple checking that he's done this right.]

It's also his Majesty's birthday. He's always eager to sweep it under the New Years celebrations but he has no reason to shy away from any such celebrations here. Don't let him.

[Action - Party Start~]
[The new house is really very nice. It's nothing compared to the Citadel but it is very nice. Clean and homey with the accents of warm wood that, if Cor didn't know better, he'd have thought was reclaimed.

There's a fire in the hearth, hor d'ouerve trays laid out on the kitchen counters. The replicator is of course available to anyone who wants something specific, though you might be surprised to find she responds to voice commands and is distressingly cheerful to talk to. The house is open for examination! Go on, explore folks, mingle away.]

[Action - Midnight]
[As chill as the night is Cor makes a point of slipping through the crowd throughout the evening. There's a number of Lucis Caelums and other magic users as well. So when the time comes near he does his best to usher everyone into the backyard, or at least onto the back porch.

He's certainly not the one to lead the countdown, no someone more energetic can do that, but at the final count a series of spells get fired into the night sky. They may not be traditional fireworks but a few Flares, Thundaras, and spells he has no names for will work well enough, don't you think?]

wannabethehero

[The audio on this message is a little hard to pick out from some background noise - it sounds like Kiwi is in a public area with a lot of chatter.]

Hi everyone. So, Will is staying with me for a while. He's been really stressed and sad, after the monster attack and...some friends of his getting sick.

So I want to do something to cheer him up; I'm putting together kind of a last minute party. Nothing too fancy...if you want to come over, we can play some games or just talk. I just want to remind Will that we love him and we're still here!

Let me know if you'd like to come...and don't tell Will about it! I want to surprise him.

abracafcku

[The video opens on a bare wall and to the sound of very, very corny fanfare. Then Taako's voice cuts in with the sound of applause.]

Yes, yes, welcome one and all to the greatest day of your lives. Today we have a real treat for you folks, so pull up a chair, take a load off and enjoy this banned text we've managed to procure.

[He clears his throat and a puppet appears on the screen - a non-descript looking human priest wearing dark robes and a blue sash around his neck. The voices that read the following lines are similar, but not the same and anyone who knows both Lup and Taako can probably tell it's the twins taking turns to read the passages. People who don't, however, might have a hard time telling them apart.]

"I used to have a lady love,
she journeyed through the sea,"

[A new puppet appears - a beautiful female mermaid with hair that falls just past her breasts. She slides up from the bottom of the screen and the priest turns to her, fawning all over her.]

"Her fins were as the mourning dove,
a mated pair were we.
Our bodies tangled, hand in glove,
a queen and devotee,"

[As the poem progresses, the priest does some...very not PG-13 things to the mermaid puppet. Eventually, the mermaid pushes the priest away, looking tired.]

"But she was called to rise above,
our bond not meant to be."

[Here the mermaid "puppet" flips a double middle finger at the priest and backflips into the sea, leaving him drenched in water.]

"Though I endure, bereft, belove,
I have her guarantee,
I'll be the one she's thinking of,
a little dove told me."

[The priest pines and waits by the water, pantomiming the lament of a forlorn lover as a bird lands next to him, rolling its eyes. The puppet show ends with a curtain drawing across the screen and then the video shuts off. Taako's voice cuts back in once the video is gone.]

Yeah, so the people here? Raunchy as hell. I love it. But then some people were, y'know, boring and said things like--

[Lup's voice takes over smoothly like they're still the same person talking.]

"If any other colonies can hear this message, please respond. This is Havenwell. We're still alive. The city is safe. We will come get you, no matter how far you are. This is not an automated message. Please respond." That there's a radio transmission from "Colony #56'07'4TM", which, obviously, is home sweet home. Not the most interesting, but I won't deny that the archive visits have been… informative.

Anyone else get something fun?

[OOC: It's a joint post! Replies here can be from Taako, Lup, or both of them. If you have a preference, just let us know in the title of your comment or it'll be a roulette of which twin you'll get.

Feel free to use this post to stir up discussion amongst yourselves regarding the lore contributions!]

wannabethehero

[There's a little fiddling and rustling for a moment while the caller figures out what they're doing. And then once they get it - oh, it's that cute bard, dopey smile and all.]

Is it on? I think it's on. Hi, everyone!

I was talking with Will at the festival, and he gave me an idea; I wanna form a band! I was in a band in Delphi, but then I had to go travel the world with Miriam, so they've got a new singer while I'm away.

We'll need a manager - Manny took care of all of that. But he had me find other performers, so I'm good at that! So! If you play a musical instrument, I'm always in the town square so you can come talk to me about my band!

[The video feed flips on, and Natasha sits on the grass her legs crossed underneath her.]

So, we've been here for a while, and it doesn't look like we are going anywhere anytime soon, so...

[Her voice trails off for a second, her gaze landing on something off-camera before she returns her attention to the present]

A long time ago, I liked to dance. Where I grew up, [Yes, that's her name for the KGB, deal with it]

The only thing I liked was dancing. Is there someplace where I might do that?

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.

trashbot

[A video feed pops on to a very robotic looking face. Not the same kind of robotic as the natives, but still very not human. Tailgate gives the camera a wave.]

Hey everyone! I realized the other day that this is the first time I've ever lived on my own. It was kind of fun at first, but now that the novelty has worn off, it's actually pretty boring. So I was wondering if anyone wanted to be roommates?

I'm sure a lot of you are thinking "but I've already settled in to the place I found", but I have a list of qualifications that might change your mind.

[He holds up a fingers for each point he makes.]

Firstly, I will never eat your food. Because I literally can't. Second, I won't hog the bathroom. I'm not even sure what it's used for, but I've heard you organics value your time in there.

If just that isn't enough to change your mind, I can also reach high places because I'm very tall. Fourth, I can turn into a car. If you ever need something, I can go get it way faster than you could by just walking. And fifth, I love movies, so we could have lots of movie nights! If... they have movies here. I haven't actually checked come to think of it...

[He pauses for a moment.]

I probably should have started with this but my name's Tailgate, by the way. I don't mind moving in somewhere, but if you want to move in where I'm living now, we, uh, might need new furniture.

[It's not his fault that the sofa and chairs in the living area were not made for the weight of a Cybertronian.]

Anyways, if you're interested in being roommates, let me know!

((OOC: Obviously not everyone can have Tailgate for a roommate as much as they want to, so let me know if you do really want to move in with this disaster. Pretty sure Natasha is going to be one roommate, so that leaves three open slots.))

[At least Keith knows how to keep a feed steady on his face. He's had a lot of practice at this. His voice is somewhat hushed, and he is in a darkened room, glancing back over his shoulder before he finally clears his throat and starts to speak.]

It was Lance's birthday on Sunday. And I totally forgot, and I think it might have hurt his feelings. So. [He takes a deep breath, glancing back behind his shoulder again.] I guess I'm going to throw him a late birthday party, so he stops sulking. Please, everyone, I could use some backup here. If you could just show up at the house this afternoon for a few minutes or something, that would be great. You don't have to know us. He'll just be happy to have people paying attention to him.

[There's some noise behind him, and he looks back again before standing up hurriedly and speaking in a hushed voice.] Okay, Keith out.

action

[Keith is pretty sure that Lance is aware that something is up, because he's been running around like a madman setting things up for what he hopes to be at least a decent little gathering. With luck, people have heard the message and will show, and that should help Lance feel a little better. Not that Keith cares, of course. He just wants his roommate to stop making snide comments.

By mid-afternoon, he's managed to set up a table with some food -- of questionable quality, but still edible -- and found a bot to play some music quietly. It's not like any sort of music he's ever heard, honestly, but it'll do the trick for now, hopefully.

Now to wait and pray that someone actually shows. Even better if they bring something with them.]

This is Chief Besithia. After some investigation it has come to my attention that medical services are limited here. Considering the lack of biological life present previous to our arrival, it's of no great surprise that hospitals weren't a priority. There are limited supplies as well.

Thus, I would like to offer my medical services. I would charge a nominal fee to cover the cost of supplies.

I have over a decade's worth of experience out in the field and have had dealt with everything from mild to critical injuries. I often had to work with limited supplies or in substandard conditions and was commended for my work.

Though our world was limited to humans, based on my extensive experience I believe I would be proficient in adapting my knowledge to work with other races as well.

I'm also an adept engineer, in case anyone happens to have mechanical parts or be wholly mechanical.

I can be reached anytime through this tablet.
