[River doesn't look at the camera. Instead, she sits crosslegged on the floor, writing rapidly in a notebook. Almost as though she's forgotten she started recording herself]

Already I've heard hypotheses on how we got here, and what we might be doing here. Alternate dimension seems to be the most popular theory but I'm uncertain. The train seems to imply short distance travel, and yet this planet is not in any solar system I've visited. Some sort of transport capable of space travel would be necessary, but I've yet to find anything outside of Serenity.

[Finally, she looks up, pausing in her work.] My name is River. If you wish to meet me, or partake in dance lessons, I can be found at Groove City.

[So, all of the craziness of things here aside, Adam had recently gone through some more craziness of his own. Namely going to bed one night and waking up at the information booth with new memories. Memories that made him feel bitter.

There was a reason he was on voice and not video. He could have gone for text, but...he just didn't want to.]

What do you do...if you feel like you've done the right thing, but you don't think anyone else would agree with you?

[What did you do if the 'right thing' hurt the person you cared about most? Was it still the right thing?]

hibana_incursa

[ She is absolutely not getting on video for this. For a variety of reasons. She's tired. A bit terrified. All of this is vastly familiar and she hates it.

But she knows a thing or two about it, so she's going to warn the town. ]

A couple years ago, I found myself in the wrong dimension. There was this guy who was so desperate to see his dead wife and son again, that he had people build a machine that punched holes through the multiverse and I happened to fall through one.

While I was in the wrong universe, my cells and molecules were fighting to get back home. I wasn't the only displaced person in the wrong universe, we were all going through the same thing. We called it glitching.

It kind of feels like suddenly every molecule in your body is on fire and trying to go an infinite number of directions all at once, and it's a very visible response to being where you shouldn't be. It looks like turning on the television and for a moment, the picture goes wild. Like several shows are trying to air on the same channel. Kind of sounds the same way, too.

I just glitched...three times? Since I woke up this morning? And I'm not the only one. My boyfriend's experiencing the same thing.

Anyone else? Or are Hawk and I the only lucky ones, here?

If we aren't the only ones, please be very careful with what you do today. There's really no way to predict when these are going to happen, and it can get really, really bad.

Like...molecules dying just a bit at a time bad.

The one thing that fixed it was getting back to my own universe, but as none of us even know how we got here in the first place, I don't know what else to tell you.

Stay safe. Stay with a friend in case you get hurt and need help.

[It was rare that Adam had been excited or happy for something while in this place, though he had his moments. This evening? This evening he was smiling. He was in his room at the Barns, a white rabbit visible on the bed behind him.

He didn't usually use the network, but he was trying to engage more, too.]

Hello, everyone. I'd been thinking for a while that who knows when we're going to get out of this place and go home. You know, resume our lives.

[Do what they wanted to, live their lives. Adam might never experience his dreams and become a lawyer, so.]

So, yesterday I got a tattoo. [Which would probably surprise anyone who knew him.

He held out his left arm, showing a beautiful tattoo on the inside of his wrist. It stretched halfway down his forearm and had a border of roses and vines. He'd gladly explain at least part of the reason why he chose the magician card if anyone cared to ask.]

I'd really recommend the Mystic Ink tattoo parlor. Parts of this even glow in the dark. [Which was maybe the coolest part about it. He turned off the light for a moment, showing that the roses, the eye of the bird, and the edges of the feathers all glowed, before turning the light back on.]

It's really cool.

[He swiveled the camera a little to show the rabbit again.] Also, that's Cottonball, if anyone was curious.

Has anyone went to sleep at home and woken up at the information hub?

blueberryprincess

Let me preface this by saying I grew up in a place a lot like Haven. Rough, but colorful. Everyone looking out for themselves, the environment really not suited for anything fancy or pretty, but making do with what one has.

And I'm used to the clothing. I've made a lot of clothing like this when I was younger, even modifying clothes to make them more durable for The Isle.

That being said, I'd love to help anyone that has clothing they might need altered. Please get in contact me if you'd like me to help with this.

Thank you.

Evie Grimhilde.

[ It might strike people as odd that Evie opts to post a text message, and not actually show herself like she usually does. But like she said, she grew up in a place a lot like Haven. She's not exactly feeling the most happy right now, and would rather people didn't see her upset. ]

stayfightgive

[ There is a singular purpose behind posting this message: offering help with the current situation, and in doing so, finding out who can fight and who needs protection.

The video starts with a shot of a woman dressed in armor, with a sword at her side. She appears comfortable in said armor, as well as being very comfortable with her weapon of choice. She purposefully picked a neutral place with nothing remarkable in the background for this first message to the network at large.

Depending on the reception it garners, she may very well be making more. ]

Hello.

[ It's only an introductory statement, but she's just getting started. ]

Something is very wrong here, from the curfew to the feeling that the streets are not safe. And there are the ice statues to consider.

I have also heard talk about the Unseen and the threat they represent. I don't know what I can do against them, but there must be something that can still be done.

What has been done before? Surely all options have not been exhausted.

[ She pauses for a moment to clear her throat. ]

And even if it turns out that there is nothing, if there is anything that I can do, even if it is as simple as providing any one of you with an extra set of eyes- I am prepared to make that offer.

[ Never mind that she's barely gotten settled and that she hardly knows anyone. These seem like dangerous times, however, and she knows she can't remain idle. ]

hexbuster

(Darcy had been here for a couple of days but she was staying under the radar, trying to figure out what the fudge was going on. She was frustrated beyond belief.)

I don't know what is going on... Is this Westview? Because I gotta tell you, it leaves a lot to be desired. I'm Darcy Lewis. Dr. Darcy Lewis, if that means anything to anyone.

So, what's the sitch?

wayfaring_stranger

[ Jace has been here a few days, hiding out in his new apartment or stealthily moving around town to learn his new surroundings and the people who live here. He's learned quite a few things without ever having spoken to anyone. But the announcement of recent events makes it difficult to stand back and observe. ]

Anyone who knows how to fight should be working together. Anyone with information needs to start sharing what they know. The library won't let us take books out of the building, but I know a few people have been reading and taking notes. If you're looking to stop these demons meet me at Starbucks tomorrow morning, as soon as the sun rises, bring everything you have. Information, weapons, breakfast.

[ He holds up a set of keys. ]

I'll make the coffee.

[ At around 7 AM on Wednesday morning, a news bulletin goes out to every single Fluxphone. Much like the alarms of the massive storm that hit Beachville several months back, this alert won't be ignored.

A news icon has popped up on every person screen. Tap it and you'll both read and hear the following;

"This is an alert to the citizens and residents of Driftcrest. The Unseen attacked last night and several members of our community are now gone. Please check on your loved ones."

What follows is a long list of names of people who are missing. Names of store owners and waitresses at favorite restaurants and, disturbingly, the names of friends and family.

"Stay safe, Driftcrest."

The feel of Driftcrest is more subdued than it's ever been, several sops now closed and boarded up. And the statue garden is fuller than ever. You might find someone you know. ]

[ ooc: please use this to talk amongst yourselves and get some plans for research started! ]

[Gansey shifts against a pillow, the room décor around him hinting that he's not at the Barns. He winces and the image wobbles to the side of the bed. In a chair next to him, Ronan sleeps, or as close to sleep as he ever gets while somewhere that isn't home.

As he rights the device, a few bruises and cuts can be seen. All looking bluish instead of the expected warmer colors of bruises and cuts. Letting out a careful sigh, he runs a hand through his hair, looking chagrined.]

Ronan and I did something stupid, but we'll both be okay.

(ooc: Please specify if you want to talk to Gansey or Ronan.)

amery

[What a day he'd had, but at least he'd managed to have a long hot shower after slogging through the cold, and it'd been a long time since he'd had a shower to himself.

Amery was perfectly clean and groomed when the video turned on, dressed in dark slacks and a white dress shirt, though without his gloves. He'd already discovered them, but he saw no need to wear them in what was, apparently, his own dwelling, without company.

He fussed with the camera on his phone for a moment, appearing uncertain, before finally leaving it be.]

Ah, is this thing on? Forgive me, I'm not used to such...technology. [His Volstovic accent, resembling a blend of Russian and French, was strong but not overpowering, and he spoke clearly enough.] I suppose I should start by introducing myself. My name is Amery Vallet and I am a member of the Dragon Corps.

[This was the part where he hoped to see a familiar face. Rook, Jeannot, anyone.]

I would be grateful if someone could explain where we are and what is going on. I'm aware I'm apparently far from home, but the rest... [He gestured vaguely.]

Also, does anyone know of a laundry service? I'm afraid I'm not sure if regular washing will help my situation much.

batgirl_babs

[She puts on an air of being more nervous than she is when the video comes on. Because Barbara Gordon is, in every way, clearly a civilian with no other nocturnal activities whatsoever. But she still waves, in a friendly enough manner.]

Hoo, ok, where to start. Umm. Well, I guess I should start small? I'm Barbara, Barbara Gordon. Formerly of Gotham City, in case anybody knows it. And ugh, I am so hopeful at least someone does.

So I've got some idea what I'll be doing around and about - it's all a bit strange to me, but, hey, when in a weird situation, make the best of it.

[She holds up the introductory literature she was given.]

Now, umm...this is all a little bit strange in terms of surroundings and...whatever is going on, but if you need someone to work through information fast, I'm your girl. I mean, not much else I can do, other than maybe throw some computer science and gymnastics at it. But yes, research skills if anybody needs.

If we were still in Wechester City, I'd suggest a New Years Eve party at my place. It would have been a lot easier to manage without a curfew.

But now I'm wondering if it's still possible? Unfortunately, this puts people at risk to run into whatever the guards are watching so vigilantly for, should they want to leave the party once the new year has begun.

And as big as my house is, I don't really have the room for people to stay over, much as I'd love to let people sleep here. But I have one spare bedroom and I'd be more than fine with sleeping on the couch while someone borrowed my room.

But, and I know this is last minute, but what if we all got rooms in the hotel and had a party in one of their ballrooms?

I already checked; it's open to use. No one's booked it for late-night parties for months.

Would anyone be interested? There's also the option to celebrate via video call, but nothing beats interacting face to face, you know?

blueberryprincess

So, now that I have my new sewing machine set up, I'm here to let you all know that I'd love to start making custom clothing again. I've been doing this since I was fourteen years old and a student at Auradon Prep, taking orders from my dorm room for cotillion, school dances, formal events and even day to day wear. It was lucrative enough that I could buy my first home when I graduated.

And I miss having that business. I love what I do at Sun and Fun Photography, and I've been making clothes for my sister and I, but I'd like to extend that offer to everyone else.

So, if you'd like something custom made, please don't hesitate to reach out to me. I'd love to make something for you.

Thanks!

[ Hello, Flux. Have one professional looking Bruce Wayne - suit and all. ]

Hello, everyone. If we haven't met yet, my name is Bruce Wayne. I've recently been employed at Weschester Enterprises on behalf of Mr. Weschester. Which is unfortunately why I'm having to reach out and contact you all about it.

Mr. Wechester has seen some increasing interest in the building, especially after it appeared to us in Flux. He's sending a formal request, through me, that the activity cease. He feels its interrupting business and frankly, rude. He's only asked me because I'm the only one on the Board that is not native to the area.

So... that puts me in the unique position to directly give his wishes to you. As well as... discuss what interest any of you might have in Wechester Enterprises.

[ He raises his eyebrows, being purposely pointed about that. Giving a hint to those who might be paying more than casual attention. ]

Bring your concerns to me and we'll see what we can work out.
