[She's already had some reports from others that Eddie and Venom were alright, but once they've gotten started down the mountain, with how cold it was, with the snow, and knowing Eddie wasn't a fan of camping in the first place, she wanted to check in.]

You ok?

Circling the Wagons time, folks. Who's got what on hand, what colors are you connected to- Kamala, Bruce, drop your knowledge for any newcomers caught up in this mess. Whatever emotional trigger or whatever used to be needed for them? Doesn't seem to be a thing.

If anyone's found a source of water, let it be known.

For me I've got- a hammer and a chisel. That's it.

[billy shouldn't even need to see the username from this message to know who the sender is - tommy's voice is easy to recognize, though the anxious tightness of his tone is probably a little less familiar:]

Billy ... please, dude, ya gotta pick up. Pick up, I need to know where you are, I need to know what happened to you ...

[the next sound is a loud, frustrated sigh. not knowing where billy is and not having his speed to rely on in searching for his twin makes for one extremely unhappy tommy.]

Dammit ... look, Billy, just call me when you get this, OK? Like, the second you get this.

[he won't say it out loud, but the message should be fairly clear: he's worried about billy.]

[public voice, January 25th, a few hours after all the videos are over and everyone's on the way back:]

Natasha here. Everyone keep an eye out for foxes around the temple. The big orange-brown variety, in case there are others. That sound they make? Apparently can teleport you. The range would be impressive if I weren't so irritated.

I'm here with Ezio and Hawke. 'Here' is apparently south of that mountain range. We're going to follow the river we've just hit and see if we can go around the mountains instead of back over them. It might take a while.

Everyone I was with--sorry to leave so suddenly. I didn't get much of a choice. I'll be home soon as I can.

[Private to Bruce:]

Don't worry. The people I'm with are skilled. We're going to be fine. Postpone date night for sometime week after next?

[Private to Betty:]

Looks like this has turned into a sightseeing tour. Feed Ginger while I'm gone? If you need gloves there's a spare pair in my dresser, top drawer.

Not sure how this works, entertaining little thing though. Are you well? [He's remembering the video and how rough things have been for Altair of late.] I admit, I'm concerned.

Kat (text)

Please tell me you're safe. [After finding her in the snow, he's more worried about her than perhaps he should.] If not, tell me if you're okay. I'm in the village and few are here.

Peggy, Brigitte, Hawke (text)

Do try and stay out of trouble? Entirely not checking on where you are and if you're well.

I hope you are as well as you can be, my friends. Those of you who are stranded, please inform me of your animals and their needs? I assure you I will make certain they are cared for. Please list the location as well, I am new and do not know everywhere. If there is anything else we can do from here please inform Signore Watney.

Ezio can you see this? Has anyone seen Ezio? He is Italian with long dark hair and golden brown eyes, and he has a scar on the right side of his lip.

[Leonardo cannot be seen at first, just the side of the northern inn, as he curses quietly in Italian off-screen.] How is this ... mio Dio ... can I be heard? Hello?

[He glances at his wrist and is still not aware that he is on video, putting his mouth close to it as if it is audio only and he thinks this is the only way to be heard. His voice is enthusiastic at least.] Hello I am Leonardo da Vinci, it is a pleasure to be here! [After a pause.] Perhaps not in the strictest sense as we are prisoners or kidnapped, but it could be far worse, we could be in a cell.

What was I saying? Ah! I have been informed that many of you are from future in which there are flying machines and technology that is similar to this strange instrument on my hand, and I wish to know more about such things.

[His face backs up so he can actually be seen, still in his violet scrubs although he has a coat and a hat on even inside.] I would also wish to know if these spaces in the village to the north are free, as I am without a workshop. Or objects. Or materials. But everyone starts somewhere! I should stop, Ezio always knew when to stop me.

Grazie! [A long pause as he tries to shake his hand and the video up and down.] How do I turn it --- [It ends.]

[Someone is looking better than he has in a few days, as coiffed and polished as one can when they've only been gifted with the bare necessities of self-care. Suspicious as Loki is of accepting any gift he's given in this place, one doesn't look a gift horse too closely in the mouth. Certainly not when it comes bearing shampoo and conditioner, at least, and it's incredibly what feeling clean can do for one's spirits.

And what better time to reach out to someone than when Loki is well aware of how attractively the steam of his bath has left his skin just barely kissed with a warm flush and how noticeably damp, glossy curls can let an already audacious mind wander.

He doesn't apologize for anything his call may be interrupting. Instead:]

[Kamala starts the video in the style of every cute teen Youtuber: with a wave and sincere smile before adjusting her hair for the millionth time.] Hey, guys! So I wanted to touch base with you on stuff so please watch this. You're helping in the name of science or something. Still watching? Good.

[She takes a deep breath and gets to it.] Alright so spoiler alert if you've been living under a rock: we have color-coded superpowers! Sometimes other stuff, but mostly color-coded! If this is new to you and very confusing, please look back at Mayor Hotdog's post on the subject. If you didn't save it or weren't around when he broke some stuff down for us, that's okay! I saved it and will forward the video to everyone who wants it.

So okay! I'm green which means my power to make my skin super tough and share that power with my friends... or friend. I usually give it to Frank when we go hunting.

I used to only be able to do it when things got super scary. Like a week or maybe two weeks ago, Frank was like, 'Sweetheart, can you do the thing???' or something like that. [Yes, she really tried to mimic Frank's gravelly voice for accuracy's sake. It's as hilarious as you think it would be.] Look I don't write this stuff down. And I was like, "I can try?? I don't feel really scared right now!' and then I did it without being scared at all! It was so cool. I've been experimenting with it ever since. I thought I'd share my findings with you guys now that I've made some decent progress. Share whatever you've found out about below!

Here it goes: [DRAMATIC PAUSE] It definitely lasts up to ten minutes. I tested this by poking myself with something sharp for every minute at home. [She holds up her right forearm with the tiniest speck of dry blood on it.] I drew blood on eleventh one in the name of science. I've touched Frank in the past during our hunting trips, but turns out it's not necessary! He just has to stand nearby. So far I've been able to share my power with him from up to roughly fifteen feet away. We took it foot by foot, but in the heat of battle or hunting, you're not going to be able to do that so just note you can do it from a distance! I think we hit the limit on how far we can go, but I could still use volunteers for how many people I can share this with and what happens to me when I hit that limit. Does this power come from my lifeforce or is it from our wristwatches??? Things to think about! Maybe just one person at a time in case it is a lifeforce thing? I don't want to slip into a coma from hitting a limit too hard.

[She clearly takes that as serious risk. Kamala looks lost in her thoughts for a second before snapping back cheerfully and with painful sincerity. What she has to share next is important.] That about does it for me. I hope this helps and remember! It's super important to figure out how to control your powers. 4 out of 10 villain origin stories begin with, 'I lost control and my sister died! Or she's in some crazy coma!' No one needs a dead person or coma backstory. Figure it out! And remember that it's a personal thing. I couldn't explain to you how I do this. It's like breathing to me. It's probably different for you and you owe to yourself to find out.

Oh and standard warning to potential crazies in our midst who hate people with abilities: congrats on joining us. Please don't start some insane mission to wipe us out and then yourself because God told you to do it. I speak to God five times a day so I can promise you He definitely didn't! He'll probably express His disapproval in the form of a tall and scary man if you come at me. Bye. [She ends the video with a wave.]

[ She takes her staff everywhere with her. If it isn't hidden at her back it's at least poking out of her backpack. Never leave home without a weapon, right? And knives are great, but sometimes a ranged weapon is the wiser choice.

She doesn't even make coffee before turning the house upside down, checking every nook and cranny four times before she gives up. Her weapon is gone, and the only way it could have disappeared is if somebody took it. ]

[ She turns the video on for this, just in case anyone questions whether she's serious or not. She is very, very serious. ]

Someone here has taken something that doesn't belong to them. If it isn't returned in the next 24 hours, I will start breaking things and it won't stop at fingers.

Who do I speak with about ingredients for baked goods? I am more than willing to share the results of such endeavors or otherwise come to a trade agreement.

Does this place have a name?

Has anyone given constellations names or configurations?

I am a mapmaker by trade, which is why I ask.

[It's video for a change, although all that's on camera is the ceiling of Sam's room at the Inn. She's been working on a mural actually. It's the underbelly of a dragon, wings outstretched as it lifts up into the sky. Still little more than a pencil outline at this point. And it's missing both a head and a finished tail. But there's an enormous amount of detailing in the scales. It's no Sistine Chapel. But then again, it's not trying to be.

The camera moves as Sam speaks, as if she's gesturing with her hand. Her face never appears, but the disaster zone that is her room appears in flashes.]


Can someone tell me what the fucking point of turning twenty two is?

I mean, seriously. Bar or Bat Mitzvah at thirteen. Quinceañera at fifteen. Super sweet sixteen, whatever the hell that is. Donate blood at seventeen. Vote at eighteen. Drink at twenty one. All the good milestones are gone. Twenty two is a filler year. And don't say you can rent a car at twenty five. My world is literally flame and rubble. I'm never renting a damn car.

[She sighs.]

Anyone still alive after that party?

I don't really know how to go about this. Where I'm from, we're trained to help out in any way we can. I don't have a lot of experience outside of protecting people and gathering information, but I'd like to learn a variety of things. I've always had something to do, so if there's anything I can do to help out, please let me know. It doesn't matter if it's small or big, whether I know how or not. If you're willing to teach, I can learn.

I have a notebook I can leave for people to use. Maybe in the South Village Inn where a lot of people can easily see it. Just describe what it is you need me to do and how to contact you or where to go to talk to you. I'll find you as soon as I can. You could also contact me over the communications network and I will respond as soon as I can.

I don't want anything in payment. Consider this my contribution to the villages.

[The video starts on a young man that looks a bit tired, but if you know Nida you know that's probably status quo. At least he knows how to easily position his arm to get himself framed well now that the video's started. And, if you were one of those already lucky or maybe unlucky enough to know him, his nervousness is evident in how he runs his right hand through his hair, his main nervous tick.]

Hey, Nida here. Uh, so I've been trying to figure out how to approach this for a week or so now, since the 'party' thing that happened. And while I've been through this device and a lot of different filtering options, I can't seem to find one that will, sight unseen, just filter to young adults.

Hello you lot! I got several decks of our favorite card game Wicked Grace from our mysterious benefactors. I've been teaching a few others already, but I'm opening it up. Bull recommended strip Wicked Grace since we have no coin, but that is not a requirement, I'll think of something else we can use for betting. Get your bluff faces ready.

It appears my roommate's gone missing. Or he's been missing for a few days now at least. His name is Connor. I can only assume he's somehow returned back to his time as that seems to be a pattern I'm noticing since I got here a month ago.

He had a tendency to go out hunting a lot. Went between the inn and across the bridge most of the time. Tall, gentle giant looking kind of guy,
[ IC edit after speaking with Nida: ] Native American dark hair, dark eyes, tanned skin with a pair of good looking cheekbones. He isn't much of a speaker. He also went by 'ratonhnhaké:ton' on the network.

Please let me know if you've seen him? I'd greatly appreciate it.
