There are a bunch of new people around, so...hey, I'm Nate.

[ It's been a while since he posted to the network, but things are starting to get sticky - and not even in the comparatively fun, sweaty jungle way - around these parts and tension feels like it's ramping higher. Crackling in the air. It makes the hairs on the back of his neck stand up. He's not in the city, as evidenced by the dense, green foliage at his back. His sketchbook is out, open, but he's talking with both his hands. ]

I realize we're kind of running the gauntlet right now in terms of what's being thrown at us, and we're basically getting ready for an inevitable showdown, and there are already a lot of efforts being made toward preparing.

[ Sonya - a woman he doesn't know - was proposing escape routes and manageable cover strategies for civilian types. It's a good idea to have those routes mapped sooner rather than later. ]

But I've spent a lot of time since we got here getting to know this landscape, the topography. What I'm looking for are people with actual combat experience, whether that's strategic, logistical, or something similar. Fight's gonna come to us whether we want it to or not, and weaponizing the environment is one of the best chances we have at mitigating the risks. Guerrilla warfare isn't pretty, but we have the resources for it.

[ For a moment he looks distracted, thinking of something, writing it down and talking over the act as he does so. ]

So just, um. Call in if you've got the know-how. Thanks.

[ It opens with a few long seconds of silence as Poe thinks over what he wants to say. ]

Should have brought this up sooner, but--things got away from me. Us, I guess, really. Me and Finn and Rey found a relay station about a week out from the city on foot back on the ice planet.

Tinkered around with things, and we found out not only could we track the positions of the Null in real time, we could upload info straight into their hivemind. Didn't mess with that too much. Kind of figured the risk of pulling them down on our heads wasn't worth it.

[ A pause. ] We found maps of three different galaxies. Two are null-infested. The third one's barely touched. Personally, I think running to where things are mostly clear will only delay things. It won't win this fight. It won't save the lives of the sentients who don't see the threat coming yet.

[ A longer pause. ] We're looking for ideas, thoughts on what we could upload into the Null systems. People who could make that kind of thing. Put me in front of something with wings and I can fix it, no problem, but programming isn't my bag.

So. Who's got something useful to say?

Hey, guys.

[Tranquility sounds tired, worn out, a little defeated.]

Thanks for coming for me. That's not how I would've wanted it to go down, but... well, I'm here now. And at least Delight started fighting for us again there at the end. Everything she did, as bad as some of it was, was to try to keep us safe in her own misguided way.

I'm gonna miss her.

Anyway, we're kind of in a crappy position now. The Null are almost certainly gonna track her essence, the parts that ended up here. So we've gotta move, but we're running out of options and time. They've killed one of us already, and they were going to kill me. We've gotta decide how we want to play this. Your lives are on the line here, too, just as much as ours. Maybe more.

Wherever we go, the Null are gonna find us sooner or later. It kinda comes down to whether we want to try to strike against them first, or whether we want to find a more defensive location and shore up, wait for them to come to us. We have a few different options in terms of locations, some of which we've been to before and some we haven't. Thanks to a bunch of you guys, I have a lot of information about where the Null forces are, which places will be less safe or more safe, so take that into consideration.

There's a file attached to this with the info I've collected from you, and from what we already knew. Take a look at it - or don't, I'm not the boss of you - and let us know where you want to go.

Have you ever been in love?

(This is asked late one night and it might seem frivolous with the current concerns hovering over the populace of Hadriel. Yet Sansa believes love is important no matter how long someone lives - or where they are imprisoned. Besides, she had a taste of love recently and it's a frightening - and exhilarating - change of scenery for her.)

Can it last?

[ Now that Emily's apartment drapes are done pretending to be shitty ghosts and that one fork is done banging around in the drawer, she can address a very important matter. ]

you guys want coffee again, right? good coffee, stuff to get you warm and wide awake in this fucking tundra

lmk if the thought makes you feel hopeful so i can tell hope it's worth his time to give me back the coffee cart my friends and i used to have. i'll put you down as a priority on my coffee route if you help

[ That's it. She's just doing this for the coffee tbh, sorry abt her. ]

[ ooc: also i apologize for her, weeps ]

Hey everyone, this is Peter. I'm, uh... Just lemmie-- Okay, I'm gonna preface this with "I'm fine", which... probably still sounds concerning to anyone who knows me. Uh, with good reason, but I promise that I really am fine.

Okay? Okay.

So... okay, you know those freaky tentacle snails that attacked those guys a little while ago? Yeah, they're still around. I ran into a few of them outside the city, and by 'ran into' I mean 'was totally ambushed by'. Like, I was just minding my own business and they jumped out all "Blahhhhgh!" and I was like "oh snap!!", so yeah, we fought a little and I got bit and, y'know, it hurt. And I know the one guy was all "hey call for back up if you see any" and I totally would have if I'd had a chance, but I didn't? I mean, not because I didn't want to, it's just like, in the moment I was a little distracted by trying to get away from the things, and I didn't have my web shooters on me because they're possessed by demons right now? So I wasn't gonna even try to catch one of those guys without my gear, so I left. My toothbrush tried to stab me this morning, I'm not dealin' with this on top of that today. I'm done, I'm tapping out!

Anyway, if anyone else ends up fighting these guys, go for the eyes if you can. They're kind of hard to hit because of all the tentacles, but if you can take their eyes out it slows them down. They're still dangerous, though, like, they will absolutely still try to fight you, so just like, don't stick around if you can help it. In fact, just don't go outside the city by yourself. Don't go anywhere by yourself. Y'know, buddy system up if you can. I don't know how many of these dudes are still out there, but I have a feeling that they're not going away any time soon.

Oh right, I did manage to break a chunk off one of their shells. I don't know how helpful that's gonna be? But I've got it at the lab if anyone wants to see it, assuming you can pry it away from Newt. I also got a photo! It's... not a very good one, but uh, I'll put this somewhere, I guess.

[ Charles does the whole wake up in the middle of a Colosseum surrounded by giant scorpion thing. He managed to kill one. He's the Scorpion King now. Totally coined that. ]

Detective Charles Boyle.
I'm new here.

My nana always said, bad news first because the good news is probably a lie.
Fun fact, she made me cry a lot.
So give it to me hard and fast.
Bad then good.

[ But now for the most important thing. ]

Jake Peralta.
Jake?

He's 5'10". 165 pounds. Beautiful light brown eyes.
If anyone has seen him, please tell me.

[ Now he'll get some information and find Jakey. ]

[For the first time in Hadriel History, Taako is appearing on the main feed without his sister. He actually looks a little bit serious, seemingly sat down at a desk with his fingers laced in front of his face like some fantasy Gendo Ikari. Without the glasses it kind of loses the effect, but hey, what can ya do.]

So, listen. There's been like, a toooon of posts lately about like, magic, and learning it. And don't get me wrong, I'm sure there's other people that know magic here. But if this is where we're goin'... wouldn't you rather learn from the master?

[He shoves his chair back from the desk and opens his hands by his face, giving them a shake as the words Taako's Awesome School Of Magic appear over his head in sparkly bubble font.]

Not to flaunt my resume or anything, but uhh, I've been bomb ass fantastic at magic for over a hundo years, I'm a transmutation expert, and, oh yeah--, I already have my first student who can speak to my incredible teaching style.

[Just because he's really showing the fuck off, a spectral hand appears in the air by him and floats offscreen, only to return about a second later with another network device. It presses a button and the voice of a certain boy detective can be heard through the playback.]

Taako is a good teacher, and I've really learned a lot from him, magically speaking! If he threatens to utterly destroy you should you ever surpass him in magical ability, that just means he thinks you're making good progress. Probably.

[It very abruptly cuts there as the magic hand disappears, the device falling into Taako's open palm.]

Really, it's a no-brainer here. You could go with somebody who wants to teach you some light tricks- don't get me wrong, you gotta start somewhere- but take it from the guy who can teach you how to be a t-rex, there are sooooo many better magical tutors out there.

[He looks very, very smug.]

Make room for chaboy, Hadriel, that's T double A to the K-O, because I'm the knockout you need.

[A wink.]

So call me.

[The video turns on to show the outskirts of town, nearby is a fence of sorts made of junk Pratt collected from the Colosseum and some baling wire. It's encircling a fancy new shooting range complete with training dummies and targets and some other items that aren't immediately identifiable.

Okay fancy isn't the right word, everything is made of remnants he found and some of the targets are empty soup cans on sticks but it looks serviceable.]

This is Deputy Pratt. I know we're all busy freezing to death, but if you'd like to take your mind off that, I've finally got this all together. Range is up and running!

It's set up by the orchard, or well.. where the orchard should be anyway.

[He pans the camera towards the orchard to show where it is and then starts walking towards the range. The camera is surprisingly steady, this is someone who has filmed hundreds of Vine videos of him and other deputies doing stupid stuff on slow days. He's a pro at this shit.]

I've got training dummies up front for anyone who wants to get their melee fighting on. But uh.. try not to completely destroy them because I don't have a ton of wood to fix them up.

For the range itself I've got targets at 10 meters, 25 meters, 50 and 100. It's not perfect because I'm measuring this with my feet, but it's close enough. Spinner targets are for guns, and the bigger baled ones are dirt and wood so they shouldn't chew up your arrows too bad.

This thing is a work in progress.

[He sets a can onto a contraption off to the side of the range, stomping his foot on a pedal and sending it shooting down the lane and a little to the left. The camera gets unsteady here as he launches a knife that's far too big for this at the can and it tumbles to the ground.]

Keeps shooting them off to the side, but it's better than throwing something and then trying to hit it.

As for weapons... [He walks over to a large but very battered chest and opens the lid.]

I've got some throwing knives that aren't stupid like the hunting knife I have. A few bows. And some arrows in here. Keep them in this crate because the weather is not kind to bowstrings and you don't want these things snapping when you're shooting.

It's on the honor system because I'm not going to freeze my ass off monitoring this twenty-four seven. So try not to burn it down in the next two days.

[Please guys. He worked hard on this. Don't set it on fire.]

deviledlegs

Hey, all you heavenly angels and cocky asshats! Consider this your very first public service announcement on behalf of everyone's favorite pirate cook, Sanji.

[There he is, blowing cigarette smoke at his phone's camera with that shit-eating grin. All is well, or so it seems.]

I need food wrapping paper and air-tight containers. A shit ton of them.

Each and every lovely lady who has the generosity to go out of her way and deliver some to me will go home with any dish her heart desires so long as I have the ingredients! You other bastards can just be grateful knowing you might not actually starve later.

[He wiggles his fingers in a rather silly goodbye gesture.]

Ciao!

[ Hello, Hadriel. It's your local displaced cop grinning at the camera with his usual level of semi-manic energy. ]

Alright, this has been one of the most confusing months of my life and that includes that time I had to live in Florida. But, hey, there's a silver lining to everything, right? Even with the whole horrible crushing fear that I'll never see my family and friends again because I'm on an alien planet--

[ Ooh that got darker than he intended. TIME TO MOVE ON. ]

Forget all that! What I need to know is if anyone has the gear to set up a big movie night thing because I just so happen to be in possession of the greatest cinematic masterpiece in the world. And dare I say? The universe?

[ His hand, which has been out of frame comes in with a copy of- ]

That's right! Die Hard! Can I get a hell yeah?!

But, yeah. Short version: I found the greatest movie of all time and I wanna have a movie night. Who's in?

redwinekindofgirl

Sooooo, guys, girls, others. What's the grossest thing you've ever eaten?

[Don't mistake this for her not being concerned about Caedra, and not being concerned about generally everything, but a recent conversation and a recent find has piqued her curiosity enough to ask the question.

For her own answer, she holds up a small, white, chalky-looking cube.]

This one's mine. It's called 'carbtien', and it's basically what we live on back home, because we can't grow enough food for everyone. It's military rations, and I don't know what they put in it, but it doesn't taste of anything and when you try to swallow it, it's like your brain forgets how swallowing works.

[Julie snorts softly and drops the cube down out of sight.]

I found a big bag of them just lying around a couple of weeks ago. Weird, right? I guess I'll keep it safe for if we ever end up starving or something. You might not thank me, though.

[The post opens with a startling image of Caedra, frozen in ice on one of the islands' many rocky beaches. With it comes a text attachment.]

The demonness, Caedra, has been brought to justice. Let her icy prison be a warning to those who would harm and torment others, and to those who feel they are free of consequences, simply because they have power others do not.

There are those who will fight back. You will be stopped.

To those who lived in fear of her, you have thirty days of respite.

[There's no distinguishing mark, no calling card, either in the post or the image. He acted independently of the Phantom Thieves, after all, so he should behave as such.]

[ooc: Yusuke won't respond to this post, but you're welcome to post reactions/use this thread if you want to poke the Caedra popsicle.]

[Mettaton’s been here for a little while, and definitely long overdue to talk to the city at large. But today he wouldn’t dare to avoid it, not at all. Because hey, when it comes to what is significant to someone else he cares about…it’s definitely important to make a big deal about it to everyone. So the city is thusly presented with his beautiful robot face, accompanied by a winning smile and a wink (Someone should mention that winking makes no sense when you have only one eye visible).]

Hello, darlings!! It’s been…apparently a very long time since I’ve spoken to any of you, or maybe if I’ve even seen you at all! My name is Mettaton, and I am the magnum opus of our resident monster scientist, Dr. Alphys! You most definitely must be familiar with her!

In fact, that’s what I wanted to talk to everyone about!

I have been made aware that Alphys has been here for two years, and I believe this endows us with a wonderful opportunity to let her know what a kind and beautiful person she is! That’s right, it’s time to share some love for her!!!

[Mettaton nods to himself assuringly, then starts to move with the feed still going. Now that the display is bobbing slightly and less focused on his face, the surroundings are becoming a little more discernable. He’s…in the lab, perhaps?

His next words are hushed, as if he’s trying to hide his presence. Maybe he’s just respecting the work environment of the lab since it’s not just Alphys here, there’s also others who make use of the space.

But this is Mettaton. It’s not that simple.]

Alphys has been working hard lately to help, so even if you don’t see her doing it, you should definitely appreciate her. Tell her how pretty she looks, tell her how smart she is!

[Mettaton stops by a door, moving close to it and cupping a hand round the ear closest. It’s all flair and dramatics, but the smile on his face is real; genuine at first, then a little more conniving.]

In fact…let’s tell her together!!

[Suddenly, the view is jarred and there’s a loud SLAM as Mettaton kicks open the door with absolutely no respect for public property to reveal Alphys, likely surprising her SOUL straight out of her body for at least 5 seconds.]

There she is!! My queen and yours!! Send her a lovely message, won’t you?? Toodles, sweethearts!!

[This might backfire. Maybe he's not right, and Alphys isn't all that popular but ayyy, it doesn't matter. She's the most popular to him. ❤]

[[OOC: Contained here are 2 probable responses Alphys could have had because apparently I'm a nerd. you kicked the door in whyyyy and damn cute.]]

[ Geralt has been keeping himself to himself lately, ever since the adventurers had come back from the sea with fragments of the door. The strange emotional effects that swept over the Islands seemed to have struck Geralt, catching him off guard.

He was holding something in his hands, the phone sat on a rock at his side, along with a vast amount of empty bottles of alcohol he'd brought with him. It looked like a woman's coat, old Victorian style with delicate little intricate embodiment around the buttonholes, cuffs and collar. Geralt looked somber, as if the item of clothing meant something to him. ]

I can't tell if this means she's dead or... She was here one moment, gone the next.

[ Okay, so your resident Witcher might be a little bit drunk and emotional, ~~thanks Gods.~~ He's in no fit state to be out alone right now, lord only knows what he might do when his mood changes. ]

Her scent is faint. It's still warm, traces of heat but... I can't sense her.

redlikerose

So, what's up guys??? How's it hanging?

My name's Ruby Rose! I just got here recently and I noticed that everyone's got really cool weapons??? I fight monsters with a scythe that I made myself.

I have a bit of a favor to ask. Can you tell me what kind of fighting style you use?

Do you beat up monsters with a stick?
Or make flames with a magic wand?

Tell me please!! I'm dying to know!! TYVM!!

[Elena Fisher isn't a constant ray of sunshine, no matter what some people say, but she's usually in good spirits when she talks on the network. Even in Hadriel's most difficult times, she's tried to project an air of optimism, or at least determination.

Not today.]

Nate's gone.

[She seems to search for more words before shaking her head.]

I just wanted to let people know.

poisonprincess

[Rain is NOT her friend. In fact, she hates it with a passion. Not that it really matters because hating something isn't going to make it go away.]

Has anyone else had to deal with the change in their moods with the way this weather is going? I want to go out and run, but this weather isn't going to allow that. I miss the sunlight. If and when this stops I definitely won't miss looking like a drowned rat, that's for sure.

Also, we'll have to see what this has done to the places around us. Maybe see about helping each other get stuff situated. For me it's just a matter of needing something to do.

nonscriptum

I fell victim to one of the classic blunders- do I seriously have to read this?

[You may recognize the guy on your screen as local parkour enthusiast and history nerd Nathan Drake. What he is wearing, however, differs so resolutely from his typical "jeans and a Henley" aesthetic that the broadcast appears to be hosted by a man whose sartorial sensibilities make him look like the quintessential Harvard professor: tweed vest, bow tie and all.

He gives a pleading expression to someone out of frame, who appears to have no mercy. Nate takes a fortifying breath and continues his recitation with approximately zero enthusiasm.]

...the most famous of which is "never get involved in a land war in Asia" - but only slightly less well-known is this: "never challenge an FBI psychologist to deliver a line with a straight face."

[He looks directly at the camera, then at the figure behind the camera, and mimes a finger slicing across his neck at the figure in question with a mouthed I'm going to kill you.]

puzzlingly

if a chicken says
"all chickens are liars"
is the chicken telling the truth?
