[Pierce's very first video post, everybody! The reason? Well, his hair is very clearly dyed red, and that is apparently important.]

'Sup, network. So, fun story. Sort of. Ish. Fuck it, I'm telling you all anyway.

So I dyed my hair red for the first time yesterday. Looks pretty good, yeah? But apparently whoever I was or... whatever we've decided our Echos are coming from had red hair, so I got an Echo off of that. Apparently my slash his name was Pyralis and the name came from being a redhead.

Boring, right? Yeah, I looked up the name, and aside from apparently having something to do with moths in like... species naming and shit, Pyralis as a name means 'of fire.'

Basically what I'm getting from this is my and or his parents must have sucked, because they basically named their kid Firecrotch. [He shrugs and gives the camera a thumbs up before cutting out.]

[personal profile] peacefulwinter
[Monday afternoon. Winter's on the screen, looking better than before but still not 100%. This... isn't her room, though. Where is she...?]

I have... a little bit of a problem. I had a talk with someone a couple of d-days ago, and I'm not sure what to do anymore. There are things I want to do, but I don't want to put... my important people at risk. I've already almost lost someone dear to me because I was careless. I never- [She has to stop for a second; it came out a little too choked for her to continue.] I never want to have to experience that again. But I...

I'm sorry, I'm no-not really making sense. I want us to return to Las Vegas, once everything is said and done. There are still too many people that are going to be at too high of a risk without... someone to help keep them safe. But can I do that? Am I... being too selfish by wanting to go there again? Am I putting them at risk? I know I'm not forcing anyone to go, but... it's so dangerous, just like it was here. I don't know if it's something I can ask anyone to do. But I can't go alone. I'm not strong enough to do anything by myself. I know that, by now. Still... if I don't have to put them in harm's way, I want to. My friends haven't done anything wrong, either - they shouldn't have to pay for my desires.

I don't... I'm not sure what to do. Part of me knows that, sooner or later, someone has to go, and there's no real reason it can't be us. I just don't know if I can r-really ask them to follow me again, after what happened last time. Am I being too selfish? Or am I just overthinking it? Or... mmn.

I guess I'm just not confident about all of this. Not after what happened before. I don't... know what to do.

[The video feed switches on, and there's Hajime. He looks pretty darn satisfied about something. Kind of like he's done something impossibly stupid, survived anyway, and has now decided that the experience was actually pretty cool and that he is cool for surviving it.]

So Jack and I went by the courthouse to talk to the alien. Between the two of us, we were kind of a spectacle, so Geoff offered us a more private place to talk.

[Yeah, he's pretty proud of that luck there. He usually doesn't grin, but there are hints of one now.]

So we ended up meeting him aboard his spaceship. It's not like we got the full run of the place, but we saw some stuff...I don't even know what most of it was.

But they--the aliens--didn't try anything funny. No surprise ambushes or anything. It was pretty peaceful overall, even if it was...weird. Aliens respect monsters, I guess.

[He's about to switch off the feed, but then he stops.]

And before I forget, are there any doctors out there who could get Jack a doctors' excuse for the past couple months? Something about being laid up with bird-itis?

[That's what you call it when you turn into a giant peacock-thing, right?]

[Robyn will stand up and step back from the chair.]

Alright, three, two, one... Go! [She'll throw her arms into air and ...Nothing will happen at all. She'll just stand there awkwardly for a second before she realizes that it didn't work.]

Wh-Okay, that was practice. This time it's for real.

[She'll throw her arms up again but once again nothing will happen.]

Oh come on! It was doing it earlier, I swear! Come on. Work, WORK!

[She'll close her eyes and start to concentrate really hard. After a solid twenty seconds of nothing happening. She'll huff and stomp her foot.]

Ugh! Why isn't it working!?

Who: Geoff Benwick and OPEN (to Locke City characters in the main log; phone-in thread is open to all).
When: June 1st-4th, afternoons.
Where: By Locke's City Hall.
What: One of Locke's visitors from beyond the atmosphere would like to make acquaintances of some of the city's other less-mundane occupants.

Spend your busy days with monsters and your quiet ones with aliens. )

[OOC: If your character cannot, would refuse to, or just plain wouldn't meet with Geoff in person but you'd still like him to speak with them, you may have them call in if you like.

Remember that speaking with Geoff directly 1. leaves a person under the influence of a supernatural "charm" effect which makes him seem trustworthy by default, and 2. grants eligibility for a plot Echo.
saviorsoul: ([wings] watch as we all fly away)
[personal profile] saviorsoul
[ Alexi's voice comes onto the Network, nervous and scratchy. He really doesn't want to reveal something this big to so many people he doesn't know, especially with everything else going on, but it's also his own chance to find out if anyone can help him. And he really needs help as soon as he can get it. ]

So I really don't know how to put this but... I have a big problem and I could use some advice. If anyone has advice. I don't actually know how common this is. But I know there's at least two people out there who can relate. So I was hoping... maybe someone know how to... hide... 'em.

Also, um, if you think you might have some... really inconvenient echoes, you shouldn't watch this. I don't wanna put anyone else in the same mess as me.

[ The feed switches to video, which has been positioned to shows Alexi from the neck down. He takes a deep breath and steps back from his laptop, placed is atop some elevated surface so the motion allows for any viewer to observe the fairly well-kept room. Well, aside from the broken lamp lying on its side by the bed and and various other items scattered across the floor, as if they'd been recently knocked down from their original location.

And as Alexi continues to step back, all the while keeping his head turned to the side, it becomes increasingly obvious that there is something large behind him. Running a shaky hand through his hair, he turns his body more to the side to give a clear view of the massive white wings protruding from his back. Three of them, as if the simple act of having wings wasn't bizarre enough.

As soon as that's done, he quickly switches the feed back to voice-only, his voice even jumpier than before. ]

My parents think I've been sick for the last day, but I dunno how much longer I can keep them from comin' to check on me and I dunno where I'd even go if I tried to get out while they're gone. I feel completely... screwed.

[A deep sigh.]

Bird god talks. He doesn't remember anything except for that I'm a "Legendary Magic Knight" or whatever you want to call it. Not his name, not where he's from, not anything else. Just that, and that's what he calls me.

And he doesn't. Shut. Up. He woke me up to ask me why the bakery across the street starts opening when everything else is closing and he has not stopped talking since. He's impossible to ignore because he has a giant voice and it's inside my head.

[Another deep sigh and then--video. Anais is in One strange getup, a strange cross between magical girl and actual armor.]

So I figured I'd try to work out what was going on with the armor. Somewhere along the way it decides to change into this. I wouldn't normally bring it up... but I don't need my glasses and I poked myself in the eye trying to make sure there's no contacts, which was really stupid.

I think I have magic LASIK armor.

It's also the first time he's accessed the network from a device that's not his phone or his laptop - he's on one of the computers in Thorir's house, and it's got a webcam and he's activated it because he's pretty damn serious about this. Whatever's going on, he's obviously tense, probably worried, a little angry, but definitely has a purpose in mind with this.]

Anyone out there, if you, uh, if you know Killian Ryan - he was supposed to meet me today, but he didn't show and he didn't call. I came over to the house and it- [Pause. Things are gonna be okay, things are gonna be okay...] Something happened, his phone is still here, and so's his cat, but some of his stuff is missing. With everything that's been going on lately-

[Yeah, he probably doesn't need to continue that, does he? Deaths and the police and the media and just the usual madness of being numbered, it's enough to make anyone worried.]

We're trying to find him. He needs to be here, with... his family.

[Please send his son back to him.]

[After that's done, though, it's time to call his brother. There's definitely going to be problems with this.]

[Haruka's dumb, goofy face shows up on the network, his tongue slightly protruding from the very corner of his mouth. In his hand is a pencil, and he seems very focused on whatever it is he's writing.]

I hope I'm not causing too much trouble for any of you right now, but I had an idea. Things seem to be getting pretty complicated lately...All the stuff with those three aliens, and everything going on here and in Vegas, it's pretty hard to stay positive. But you know what cheers me up when I'm not feeling too hot?

Art! So, I'm gonna write my number down on this piece of paper, and then whatever I draw should come through to the network, right? Just like when we do handwritten messages. I thought maybe, if people were browsing the network and saw some nice art being drawn, it might distract them from their bad day, or calm them down. I know watching art in progress always helps me with my nerves!

So, here we go! [Haruka immediately begins drawing, each line being transferred over the network to show his work in progress slowly becoming more and more complete.] I'm drawing something I saw in one of the memories I got back. I know sometimes they can be pretty scary, but this one just makes me...hungry! [A laugh as he continues drawing. The drawing starts to become something more recognizable--a scene depicting rows and rows of festival stands containing all sorts of delicious food, gently tinted in the orange glow of the sunset overhead.]

Maybe I'll get some of it back one day, doesn't it look good? [Now putting the finishing touches, he diligently colors in each food item with colored pencil.] Bright and colorful! Happy food for happy people. I'm tempted to draw smiley faces on them, actually!

You know, if you haven't tried authentic japanese festival food before, I highly recommend it. My parents make this sort of stuff from time to time when they feel like we need a shot in the arm of tradition. Maybe I can invite some of you over sometime!

[After a few more minutes of diligent work and lots of Bob Ross inspired commentary, Haruka scribbles "all done!" into the corner of the picture and signs it.] And there you have it! I hope this doesn't bother you too much if you aren't interested in it, and...I guess I hope it can remind some of you to try to focus on the good things instead of the bad? Like takoyaki...

I'll try to draw on here as much as I can, maybe I'll try to depict my new memories as best I can? If it's not too troublesome, that is! I just want to share something nice with everyone, it's about all I can do right now since I'm stuck at home and I don't really have any cool powers that I can use to contribute. So...thanks for watching!

[ Today, Nathaniel is broadcasting via a small circular handmirror. It doesn't provide a particularly expansive view, but he needs something portable and he doesn't own a cellphone. And let's be real, nobody needs to see any more of his horrible flowery chintzy living room than is already visible. Ugh.

He isn't looking quite as bored and above-it-all as usual. There's a hint of slightly-undignified excitement in his expression and everything.
]

Loath as I am to take up valuable ephemeral-number-network space, I do have something important to announce. I have created a spell set I believe many of you will be interested in. Observe!

[ Holding his mirror steady in one hand, he waves the other in an elaborately theatrical gesture. For a moment the view from the mirror is obscured in a shower of purplish-white lights, and then... ]

Oh, bugger.

[ ...he isn't in his living room any more. He's outside. The mirror gets turned away from his face to display the location more clearly - Nathaniel has been teleported on top of the roof of a building overlooking the Vegas strip.

Yeah.

After a few seconds, the lightshow obscures the mirror once more. When it dissipates, the view is trained back on Nathaniel back inside his living room.
]

I was aiming for a nearby alleyway, I suppose I shall have to recalibrate a tad... But you get the idea. I have achieved instantaneous transportation between Locke City and Las Vegas. I am also capable of enchanting items with the spells involved, so that non-magical persons will be able to use them.

Supplies are limited. As such, should anyone wish to obtain any enchanted items I will require adequate compensation. [A pause.] And I should note that unlike the staves I produced previously, these are entirely unsuitable for vegans.

Hi there! I actually had a question that I was hoping someone could answer. A couple of questions, actually!

☆ How common is it for relatives to be Numbered?
☆ If you have a relative that's a Numbered too, how are you related?
☆ Did you both have your first Echoes around the same time?
☆ Were you related in your pasts, too?

Thanks a lot for answering my questions! I've been thinking about this a lot ever since I found out my brother was a Numbered. But I'm sure that if it happened to us, it definitely had to have happened to others also!

[ After spending a good week and a half waffling over whether he really wants to draw attention to himself (he's never been especially great at talking to larger groups), Alexi finally enters his number into his cell phone and starts typing.

His punctuation isn't the best and he's not really bothering to capitalize. In fact, it probably looks like it's coming from someone who's just typing before he even finishes the thought, as if he's getting increasingly nervous. ]

so i'm not really expecting much from this. i mean i'm pretty sure someone screwed up. there's no way i'm one of those 'heroes' everyone keeps talking about. sure it'd be kind of cool but i'm just not that special. really. so i figure this is a fluke, right.

[ There is a pause of about a minute or so before the second part of the message appears, as Alexi debates how to explain things without sounding like a total idiot. ]

it's just when i asked mom and dad about what i remembered -- you know those pulse things. they didn't remember. that was weird. i mean that girl didn't seem like a stranger and i can't find any pictures of her. so it's kind of freaking me out you know. i guess i'm just hoping that if this is really happening someone can tell me what i'm supposed to do next. cause i've got no idea. and talking to someone has to be better than confusing the heck out of myself.

[ Hopefully, that didn't sound as stupid as it did in his head. ]

To do list:

1. Find out out what [Insert her number here.] is all about. - Did I have ICQ at some point? I don't remember making an account for it. Are ICQ numbers that long? What the heck would I have used for a password when I made it?

2. Do homework. ...Bleh... D:

2.5. Find something better to do than homework. ...Good idea!

3. Convince dad to buy me a guitar. (If I ask him every day, he'll crack and do it. I know he will)

4. Pick up sunglasses so I don't have to explain the whole eyes changing color thing to dad. No, too obvious. Maybe there's a place in town that sells colored contacts?

5. Ice Cream? This should really be higher up on the list, me. You know better.

6. AUTOGRAPHS! NEED TO GET ALL OF THEM!!!! - TOP PRIORITY This is now number one on the list.
...Maybe number 2, I could really go for some ice cream right about now.

7. Mmmmm.. Cookie Dough... :)

[ The video is on a laptop camera, of moderate quality, with Marina sitting in a chair looking into it, annoyed. Behind her, the bed is somewhat visible, and on it is the edge of some armor, just the armor portions, fairly lacking in actual coverage. Sure, the armor's magical, and Marina's well aware that they all survived some shit that was pretty bull, but... with this? ]

So, who here knows much about armor? I've got this little... breastplate and shoulder armor combo thing here, and it's not much but I don't even know how to put this shit on. Like, it got magicked onto me in the past, and it's not doing that now, so I'm trying to figure out how to do that, and if it's even worth it.

It doesn't look very comfortable, but if it's magical, I think I want it.

[ She shifts the laptop to look more fully at it, and walks over to hold up the pieces. They've got the appropriate straps, but frankly, she's kinda lazy.

Marina walks back up, and sits herself down again in front of the camera. ]


Also, I got more giant robot memories, and it seems kinda... like it'd clash with the whole, y'know, magical knight thing. Right? It's some weird shit.

[The feed turns on to a certain blond, standing somewhat close to the camera. She adjusts her webcam slightly before stepping back. She's dressed strangely, in what appears to be partial armor. And from the look on her face, she isn't quite sure what to make of it.]

So, I found this in my bag. I know I didn't pack it, because I don't remember having anything like this before I left. It's pretty light-weight considering [She moves around a bit to demonstrate] but I have no idea where it came from. I definitely wasn't expecting to find a breast place in my bag!

[But did the fabric underneath have to be so... tight-fitting? She felt awkward showing off her stomach and legs in something like that...]

I found something else too.

[She walks back up to the camera, reaching for something behind it, and pulling it out. A small, solid gold chalice, with simple etchings around the body of it.]

It's weird. I'm not sure what other me would have used this for, but I get this strange feeling whenever I hold it. I can't really explain. Has anyone seen anything like this? It looks like a goblet, but I can't for the life of me figure out why I would need something like this...

[She sighs.]

Anyway, I'm starting school tomorrow, and I'm a little nervous. I've never been to a public school before. What should I expect? I know there are a few people from LCHS, so some advice would be great. What teachers are good? Should I completely avoid cafeteria food? What are the need-to-know things I should, well, need to know?

Hail and well met, everyone! I was wondering if it would be possible for me to get the answers to a few questions! I have heard many rumors from school, but I do not want to believe them until I hear the true story! To do otherwise would be rude!
-Is it true that the giant robots which were used in the battle last month must eat cars for energy? Is it true that the cars are actually sentient and it is a case of robotic cannibalism? (That seems so cruel 8C!)

-Are those with super powers actually aliens themselves fighting an intergalactic war after the destruction of their home planet and you've actually come here to protect our planet from invaders, asking nothing in return? (If that is the case then I am sure you will find that this world will welcome you if you'd like to settle down!)

-Are you actually the product of radiation experiments in after school detentions? (I have never been to after school detention is it really so bad?)

-Can you get powers or strange memories by being bitten by someone who has powers? (I do not remember being bitten by anyone!)

-I've heard that there are people who became angels! Is this true?

-And animals who can talk!

-Is everyone who has found that they can access this network actually a clone of their original selves replaced by the government in order to combat the looming alien threat?? (I do not personally believe that one, but I would like to get confirmation.)
As you can see there are many different origin stories and I just want to make sure I get it right, so as not to offend anyone. Thank you for your time, everyone. ♥
