((Posted as this is going on.))

I'm en route to the clinic with an injured prisoner. Before anyone asks, he was fine a few minutes ago, nothing happened to him here, and I've got the surveillance footage to prove it. With this new nonsense that the Porter's pulling now, my guess is that he got switched out in the middle of one slagging bad day.

He's in bad shape, but I still want him under guard. I need somebody to meet me at the clinic and keep an eye on him. And after that...I'm taking some personal time. No one call me unless it's an emergency. Understood?

[When the video flicks on it is considerably clearer then previously. One can see that the man sitting in front of it looks pale-but excited.

When the image widens, you can see an array of tools, parts, and various devices. Hoffman has transformed his apartment into a workshop.

Grinning like a maniac breathes deep]

....Can everybody see me? I broke this yesterday and uh-I fixed it but..uh..

[He hesitates]

I bought a car! I paid 300 dollars for it. No kidding!

Because I knew that it needed a...new..

[Here he struggles for a moment, unable to quantify it.]

Well. Uh...I fixed it. Also, to the buick owner parked outside the MAC, you...should consider taking your car in. Sooner the better.

What'd I miss? [....there is a click offscreen as something thuds.] Dammit. Hang on.

[Hoffman vanishes and returns with the toaster in his hands.] ...taoster broke.

[He sets down to fix it, heedless of the video feed still recording before.]

...So...How're you?

So this is what that computer thing defines as a vacation? Great. No thanks. I'll be going on a vacation of my own.

Heard I can go outside the City, so I'll be up north in Canada for a few days and I won't be answering this because I'm leaving it behind. I need to clear my head from all this bullshit.

[ Have a teeny-tiny Japanese five year old speaking in a seriously boonies and archaic Kansai accent. She's likely to be indecipherable to any non-native speaker. Also, her voice is squeaky and half-choked. Sooomebody's about to start crying. Every now and then subway noises--especially station announcements--drown her out. ]

did someone order an angry sociopath; VOICE

[notsoloyal]

So let me get this straight.

[The ID makes it quite clear that Shockwave's communicator is the one being used to record this. But that voice is most certainly not his. It's not monotone, lacks any form of a British accent, and it sounds far too emotional.]

Not ONLY did I wake up being snuggled  by some blue-haired idiot, whining about where his boyfriend or whatever is! But now, I'm stuck in some PATHETIC human body!

[There's a loud sound of something breaking.]

Well frag this!
Being in jail was better. Hn, and at least the Unicron thing gave me something to do.

I can't turn into a satellite, or a tank like this. There's nothing to do here! And I'm getting bored.

Blue-haired guy! Whatever your name was. Find me something to do, or a gun. Something. Anything. This is ridiculous!

Oh. And which one of you morons is in charge of the Decepticons? If you're anything like that worthless piece of scrap, Megatron, then your days are numbered.

[ooc → Shockblast has a very similar voice to Zechs from Gundam and Vegeta of DBZ. You may poke at this if you want.]

Red .07 // video [Titans filter]

[The video clicks on to reveal Batman - except of course, there are subtle differences between this Batman and the one the Titans are the most familiar with. The difference becomes more apparent when he speaks, a grim and emotionally blank rendition of the Bat Voice that is nonetheless just recognisable as Tim.]

Titans. I trust you recognise the situation.

Stand with me, or leave the Tower. You have two minutes to decide.

001-- part II [video]

[liadrin.livejournal.com]

[Liadrin's hands are shaking-- so much so that she has to set down the comm in order to allow it to focus on her. Her voice is much more timid than it ever was before. Her eyes are, instead of a deep green, a brilliant azure-blue and her body is much more fragile in appearance, draped in robes instead of armor. She looks years younger, an adult, but just barely.]

I...I know this is a lot to ask....I don't know what is going on or who you all even are but I...I want to know where I am.

I want to go home.

[The video is shakey and only showing half of Arthas face. Instead of the undead scoourge king, he's a fresh-faced yellow haired princce. The video shakes a bit more- Arthas is obviously rattling the device a few times before becoming satisfied with the result.]

Okay. How many of you are in here then?

[vector sounds only a few steps up from that. tea helped him recover from the metaphorical WHAP that the shift caused to the point where he can -pretend- to be all right, but staying up all night can counter some of that good]

Those of you who have been here for some time, I have some questions. I...can only assume that these recent changes are the Porter's doing, and similar to other stories I have heard of her work. Are such things...temporary?

[pause]

More importantly, are they restricted to the City and its imPorts...?

24. The First Turnabout (Again)

[objectiondenied.livejournal.com]

[You can hear what sounds like people behind him and anyone listening will pick up quickly that it's the fire department. "So his couch just... on fire?" "-not gonna believe this." "...imPort..."]

[Anyone will recognize the comm number as Phoenix Wright. He's muttering to himself.]

Hey, it's kind of like a smart phone. Guess this thing's more useful than I thought. Um... hello? Wait, let me see if I can post to this message board. Everyone else looks like they're just as...

Larry, if this is some kind of prank, it's not funny. Someone could have used that couch.

[A series of quick sneezes and he sniffles.]

They keep calling me an imPort.

Does anyone know what that means? Is it something bad? I don't want to ask them anymore questions.

[He laughs a bit nervously.]

They've already been really patient with me.

No, don't look at the comm like that, this is actually a problem.

[deadelfwalking.livejournal.com]

[The feed shows you an elf. The elf is young, wearing highly ornate platemail armor, and beautiful in a way that almost disturbs. His features are healthful and vibrant, his expression playful and inquisitive. His eyes glow with the magic that suffuses his entire body. He smiles only a little nervously into the communicator and speaks. Even his voice sounds like liquid honey.]

Okay, so I don't know if this thing is a scrying device or what, but I'm pretty much completely lost here. One minute I'm training at the Academy and the next I'm in a street full of so much weird stuff that I'm wondering if I overdosed on bloodthistle without thinking about it. So the thing I'm asking myself right now is, did someone try to teleport me as a prank and it went all cross-eyed on the both of us? Or is this the most insane dream a man's ever had?

I've pinched myself 'til my arm turned red, so maybe it's the former. And if so, I'm Koltira Brightdawn, and it's uh, nice to meet you? Jeez, I hope whoever played this joke can get me back home, too. I have a brother to look out for, man.

[When the video comes on, she's rubbing at one of her temples with a few fingers - anyone who knows her will know that's her 'these negative emotions hurt owwwwwww' stance. She looks worn out, completely exhausted to say the least, will bags under her eyes and everything.]

I-Is there someone out there with a positive and uplifting view on life right now? Perhaps even happy? I'm not looking for someone who will fake happiness for my benefit, being an empath takes the wind out of that, unfortunately.

I think I need to be around someone uplifting for only an hour or so. Until this headache subsides, anyway. I'll even pay for the meal, or coffee, whatever you desire.

... Thank you to anyone who legitimately offers. I do appreciate it.

[The face that appears on Kel'Thuzad's communicator looks fairly similar to the one that is usually there, save for the bone mask...and the glowing blue eyes...and the white hair. Ok, so he doesn't really look all that similar. Kel'Thuzad is very obviously alive and doesn't appear too unhappy about it. His hair is a shiny raven black and his eyes a startling emerald green. His skin has only just begun to wrinkle with age.]

No teleportation back to Azeroth possible, no portals, not even a single ley-line. How exactly is it that you people function around here?

[The man's arms fold with a deep sigh to compose himself.]

So leaving is not possible and there are several others scattered about this...City. That's what you call it, yes? It's certainly no Dalaran, but it has its own charm I suppose.

Speaking of Azeroth -- just how many of you have heard of it? Or perhaps there are some I've missed in greeting that reside there as well.

log 26 [video]

[chlorodermic.livejournal.com]

[the camera is shaky, obviously being handled by someone who isn't familiar with it. the Supreme One looks annoyed.]

You idiot you're holding it the wrong way. Just...stand next to me. Put it down. Put it down. Comprende?

[the feed continues to shake and the Supreme One approaches it, setting it down somewhere stationary. she heads back to where she was originally standing. she looks different, her outfit has definitely changed and there's that hideous skunk hairdo of hers. her cabana boy stands next to her, for show, of course. take heed that he's wearing some sort of collar that looks pretty unstable. she made it out of random shit she found in the apartment.]

Well hello City, it looks like you picked up the wrong woman and plopped her in the wrong dimension. Now, I'm all-too-familiar with time travel and dimensional rifts and yadda yadda yadda, but honestly, that's only okay if I do it. You know, me, the Supreme One.

[she glares, but continues, putting on some sort of sugary, commercial-esque voice along with a smile. bipolar? why yes.]

However, if you brought me here because your world is in desperate need of a ruler, then you've come to the right place. I successfully have taken over the world in my dimension, and I'll be happy if you sold your entire being over to me. And if you refuse, weeeell, guess I'll have to do things the hard way now, won't I?

[a laugh, and she holds up a monkey idol body*]

Now, I found this lying around in some kind of museum. I never thought there would be duplicates, but if you do choose to go the hard way, well then...

I'll just have fun taking over the world a second time. Talk to you soon, City.

[she jabs her cabana boy in the rib to turn the feed off. he approaches it aaaaand...the feed ends.]

*ooc: yeah, it's not part of the real Tempus Simia, since it can't exist here. Shego only thinks it is.
(and remember, her feed is still untraceable I just...haven't been putting that in her comm posts recently.)

Six. [ video ]

[superxgrlfriend.livejournal.com]

[ Video opens on Monet, deftly mixing a martini at a modern looking bar. Those who have been there before will notice that it's her bar, but otherwise her location is untraceable.

Of note, she's is using only her right hand, as the left is currently casted and slung across her midsection. However, she barely seems to notice the handicap as she swirls cold vermouth in the glass, discards it, and spears two olives. ]


How odd this city is. First, it chooses, seemingly at random, people from varying timelines and universes, calls them heroes, and expects them to defend the city. From who or what, exactly, is interesting, as objective data is currently leading to the conclusion that there is no rhyme or reason to the process, and there seems to be no exclusion criteria. If the porter were so interested in the defense of the city, why would it take criminals? Villains? Civilians?

Now, once again, the porter's objectives are in question. Why ever would it decide to take the heroes it so painstakingly chose to come to defend the city and replace them with dangerous, insane and/or useless versions of themselves? No logical conclusion can be drawn at this time, though after a few martinis, perhaps the solution will become clear.


[ Monet pours an expensive-looking gin into a shaker, and, after shaking and straining, drops the olives and gin into a martini glass. After taking an experimental sip, she deems her drink a great success. ]


Also, Rachel Grey is a dinosaur. How did that happen?

[Alternate!teenage Alison and Warren are hanging out in the backseat of what looks to be a VERY expensive sports car. They look pretty comfortable and amused with themselves despite everything that's going on. With a grin, Warren turns his comm so that it's facing them fully.]

This place really isn't so bad! Everyone's kinda weird, but...it's okay because we found a LOT of money with my name on it! And this car...

Yeah, and we've been readin' all those past posts with brooding blue face and sparkles the diva.

Er, yeah. [Warren makes a face] No sense in using this video thing to yell at people and be grumpy. We're going to take this car out for a spin and we need two things: a really good place to eat - and nothin' fancy like that jazz bar because that was just WEIRD - and somewhere we can buy musical instruments!

And someone should REALLY, REALLY get me booze.

Uhh. Yeah that, too. She finished everything in the apartment last night....

There was hardly anything, War! [She climbs over, the passenger seat and makes an oomph sound.] Man, let's roll! I'll even let you drive, fly boy.

[He gives her the comm before clumsily climbing over the seat.] I guess that's it. Unless someone wants to come help us find stuff. Bye, then!

[comm flickers on to show a young girl, no more than eight or nine years old. she has the camera held up to one big brown eye, and she blinks a few times before pulling it back so you can see her adorable little face. she looks confused, and tilts her head to the side.]

Nee? Where am I? This isn’t Café Mew Mew! This isn’t even Tokyo, na no da! At least, no part of Tokyo Pudding has ever been to.

[her expression morphs to intense concern, and then to a hideous look of sadness, i.e. the bottom-left panel.]

WHERE ARE ICHIGO AND MINT AND LETTUCE AND ZAKURO?! AND RYOU AND KEIICHIRO? DID THEY LEAVE PUDDING ALL BY HERSELF AGAIN? THEY KNOW SHE’LL GET LOST, NA NO DA! WHY ARE THEY SO CRUEL TO HER?

[she looks about ready to cry, and then it seems as if a lightbulb goes on over her head. oh yes, pudding has realized that she is practically on t.v., and will not let this opportunity go to waste. her face perks right up, and she gives her best showman’s grin.]

Well, no worries! I’ll just make do here! [she messes with the camera for a few minutes, and then has it propped up on something. she steps back and raises her arms in greeting at her imagined audience. she is wearing a coat that's surprisingly appropriate for the weather, though it's bright orange and goes down to her knees. she has on bright yellow rain boots, too. she is literally just somewhere on the street.]

Ladies and gentlemen! I am proud to present the Amazing Pudding and her Astounding Feats of Acrobatics! [she flips backwards and lands in a perfect one-handed hand-stand. her coat falls down and partially covers her face, revealing light blue pants, but she ignores it, going on with her spiel.] She will wow you and stun you, and entertain you to your heart’s content, na no da!

[she flips back to her feet, takes a deep breath, and rapidly brings her hand up to her face. there's something there, but you might not notice once she starts to breathe fire off to one side. when she finishes, after a few seconds, she grins back at the camera, and strikes an awesome pose.]

So come one, come all! Come see the amazing Pudding and be wowed! [wink, wink.] And don’t forget to bring tips, na no da!

Why dear god why are you wearing a false mustache and goatee that make you look like Colonel fucking Sanders? And, above all else, why are you still wearing a t-shirt with this logo on it?]

Oh help. Assistance! I'm an old, old man and I can't remember anything that's happened to me! Oh, woe. Alackaday. I'm going to wear onions on my belt and talk about the Great War!

He's sporting a black eye as well as sleep-deprived baggy lower eyelids, and is smoking a cigarette in short, quick puffs. Judging from the ashtray in front of him, he's either been out there for a while or has been taking frequent smoke breaks.]

Tank... Booga... sorry, guys, but I'm gonna have to take a break from the ship for a little while, hopefully not long. I'll definitely be back for the pre-flight checks if not earlier. Fingers crossed. We've got a bit of a situation happenin' here.

Look this should go without saying but.. but anyone who has in this city who has arrived  last night, please, please be sure check the message history on your coms to see if any posts were made in your name. I understand the reality of this situation can be quite baffling as we are face what seem to be other lives but… we must examine the evidence at our hands.  These communication devices that we were given are a valuable tool to finding out what friends, teammates, and relatives are here.

My name is Ken Ichijouji.  I’m a specialized private investigator from Odaiba, Tokyo. In light of this rather puzzling affair, I have decided to try and make myself useful by re-opening the detective agency next to Upper West Toys on 75th.  Also it has come to my attention that the building has two apartments in the back.  If any recent “transports” are looking for a place to stay temporarily let me know.

[The screen clicks on and the first thing to notice is a lanky man sitting directly in front of the camera. There is no way to tell where he is, but the sounds of cars and people are a constant hum in the background. Elbows rest on both knees and his knuckles are pressed against his mouth. Above and below his left eye are two scars, the top running above his eye and up into his hairline while the 'X' below his eye stands as a stark contrast to his skin.]

Took apart communicator. No answers. Primitive tech, but useful for now...

Teleportation? Transformation? As a human? Possibly work of the Reapers? Not enough humans to complete another Reaper? No, no, no... genetic material would weaken. Code would break down. Useless and results would be messy.

[He stops, closing his eyes. A deep breath and his shoulders visibly sag as the air leaves his body.]

Hero? Such role would be better suited to Commander Shepard.

So it appears this device has the ability to translate from Japanese to English automatically. I find it intriguing. However, I do not think it prudent to let my English get too rusty. Hiei, I heard you were going to take classes, is that correct? Perhaps Kuwabara and I could join you. And Yukina, if you would like. It will be like our own little family.
