[the video opens on Jane in the same overstuffed armchair she was sitting in during her first video, only this time instead of sprawled out on it, she's sitting up, legs crossed at the knee, foot pumping in the air, and a notebook in her lap with a pen poised over it for taking notes]

So, I've gotta know what you think of the gods? Which ones are your favorites, which ones do you hate, and why? It's for research.

[the video opens on a young woman sitting sideways on a large, overstuffed armchair. legs crossed and slung over one arm, head resting on the other. she's got an anticipatory smile on her face, like someone who has a secret]

First thing is, I don't know most of you and most of you don't know me, so Alice? This is Hadriel. Hadriel? This is Alice. Moving on.

Okay, I think we're all in agreement that the entertainment options around here? Suck. [she waves a hand] With the exception of the Speakeasy because who doesn't love booze? But anyway, entertainment!

We have no TVs. No movies. No internet. Not even books. [she rolls her eyes to show what she thinks about that option] But there's one thing we do have and that's people.

And what can you do with people, I can hear you all asking. And the answer to that is plays. Acting! And I even have an idea for the play: the history of Hadriel. 'Cause not all of us have been here five million years.

First act can be a drama, the story of when it was just you guys, Fear and Hope. Second act is a comedy, the weird shit that happened when the rest of the gods came back. Third act? The Null attack. Which will be a musical. And you can't talk me out of that one, so don't even bother trying.

So I'm looking for volunteers! Actors, stagehands, costumers, set painters, shit like that. So fucking volunteer. And those of you going out to sea, don't worry. It's gonna take some time to get things organized, so you can get in on this, too.

((OOC: this is entirely the brainchild of Rey-mun who was kind enough to let my character be the public face of her idea. Thank you so much!))

[For those who frequent the tops of the various climbable buildings in Hadriel, they might recognize that this broadcast is from the roof of one of them due to the angle; otherwise it's just a rapidly darkening cloudy sky for a backdrop, sun setting and rain clearly threatening to roll in at any time.

It's pretty, and that may or may not be the reason why Connor is out on a roof in the first place, but it's definitely not the point of this impromptu broadcast. He's just been wondering some things, and it's in his nature to actively search out answers rather than waiting for them to come to him, so he's decided to just go for it.]

Hello everyone; my name is Connor, and I just arrived a few days ago.

[Always good to start with introductions, and also to avoid saying exactly how many days or hours it's been since a given time when pretending to be human. He's getting a little better at this.]

I've been catching up on the situation at hand, and although the context is somewhat different, there are parallels to current events in my world that are difficult to ignore. Before I arrived, we were dealing with what might be the beginning of a civil war between humans and machines.

[He's trying to tread carefully, projecting enough genuine interest without sounding over-invested. He's just asking, after all, nothing more; there's definitely no personal reason why he wants to know.]

So I'm curious; I'm aware that what the Null have done is enough reason to be against them, but does what they are play any role in your feelings toward them?

Okay, I guess I'm a little overdue for this-

[Here goes nothing.]

My name is Quentin Coldwater. I'm a magician. I used to teach at Brakebills, and for a while, I lived in Fillory. I've got a pretty good grounding in physics and mathematics, and interuniversal travel. Normally I would consider myself able to claw my way out of this shit, but no dice this time.

Is there anyone here who knows anything about any or all of the above?

[He pushes his glasses up the bridge of his nose, a nervous habit.]

I would like to get the fuck out of here, if anyone has any, uh, inroads on that one. Novel, I'm sure, but we've all got to start somewhere. Cheers.

[ The video pops on to Rey's excited face, bits of hair falling in her eyes and sweat beating on her temples and clinging to her red cheeks as she sets the phone on something high enough to show where she is. ]

This is the prototype's first real water test! I've made a few adjustments after testing the parts in the fresher and I think that it'll support my weight.

[ As she backs up you can see about 12 water-bottles taped together inside a plastic bag is tucked over her head and tied around her waist, and she motions towards a monstrosity of a contraption that was floating, tied to shore with a length of rope. Rey's incredibly excited about it though, and waves to it, her voice loud for the camera, and sounding more than a little manic. ]

It took me a while to find material that wouldnt sink, even when filled with air! I've got very little experience with needing to make things float on water, but - [ She laughs ] I think I got it right this time. Oh and to steer!

[ She grabs something off the ground and lifts a broom that's had a dust pan taped to the end of it, and now, covered in bottles and beside her junkraft, she looks quite mad. Rey tosses the paddle into the boat and then jogs back to the phone, reaching for it.]

I'll check back in after it's maiden voyage! Wish me luck!

prophesiedone

I will keep this short.

Don't do that again.

[And now, thanks to his temper and total lack of Jedi training...]

I'm not going to apologize for the temples.

[He still feels like trashing them, though he knows, deep down, that isn't right. The materials could be of use. Later. Except now they are in pieces. Oops? Totally qualified ~~Jedi~~Sith here.]

ghostlocked

[It's late when Harlan folds and decides to go to the network for a distraction. He would vastly prefer not to do this, but, well. That's why it's called folding.]

cant sleep.
tell me stories.

[ooc: feel free to threadjack and use this as a sort of storytelling free-for-all!]
