[There's a bit of a crackle before the video clicks in. Mi Ho is staring in concern at the comm, but then smiles brightly]

Ah, good, still works!

[God only knows where she is. In a forest somewhere, where there are stars. It has to be out of the city, then, because they're bright enough to be picked up by the camera.

She went exploring, apparently. Her white dress - the same one she was wearing at the ball - is smudged with dirt.]

I thought I smelled a cow around here... [she sniffs the air but then wrinkles her nose in disappointment.]

People keep talking about jobs... I would like one, so I could buy meat every day instead of just the first day. How do you get a job? Do you need... [to be human?] ... special papers to do it? Or friends?

[she pauses for a second, her face falling a bit. She didn't have friends before she came here, either, but at least then she had Grandma. In a flash, she remembers, and adds (in a not at all private way):] Ah! Andrew Berrrnard. You know how to get human jobs, right? Could you teach me?

[He had realized that he had yet to really ever show his face on the comms. Faces were important. They would let people know who you were, let them recognize you, know you, trust you. They were also a great way to lie or manipulate something into sounding harmless.]

Hello again, The City.

[Charming and modest is the smile he portrays here, executed perfectly. No one would guess it's a fake, it's the smile he always used when making things out to be harmless. Mostly when making himself out to be harmless.]

It's been some time since I've shown up, and I've at least managed to get some semblance of my old job from home back. You see, I was a doctor, but really... I wasn't a regular crisis doctor, or the kind you go to to receive medication if you should be sick, though I have basic training in those fields.

My life was dedicated to research. Researching transplants. I was in the middle of a breakthrough, one that would allow me to attach a person's head to a new body and reanimate it. Not... for zombies or anything... [Okay, that sounded a little frankenstein-monster-esque, recover.]

But I had wanted to do so to save lives. The thing is that I had a specimen whose body could endure such hardships... He had an innate regenerative quality to him. I was studying that quality to learn how it worked, and then I died. Now I'm here. If I go back home, I'm going to be dead anyway, so I suppose continuing the research here would be fine, but I'd need volunteers with regenerative powers.

I won't be doing anything insane like cutting off head or anything like that, just simple tissue tests and extremity tests if you think you can handle it. Any pain will be numbed, and I will strive to compensate you for your time.

Thank you all for your consideration, and if anyone actually has any knowledge of technology like this that they can share with me, I would be very appreciative.

[Rose's hair is done up in a messy ponytail, and she's clearly standing somewhere in a crowd outside a building, although the angle and crowd obscures what building it is specifically. She looks fairly cheery. Also fairly stressed and a little bit strained, but overall she does look cheery when she waves.]

So I've decided t'go ahead and explore those other continents after all. Y'know...about as...thoroughly as someone in an aeroplane can in a week. If for some reason someone needs or wants me, I'll be back in the City in a week.

...Or I s'pose you could try and see if this thing'll connect well outside the City. I've heard it can get a bit spotty.

*Kaylee's all polite smiles and businesslike demeanor, much more reserved than usual, as she switches her comm on purposefully.*

Anyone 'round here need projects done?  Mechanical-like?  I got time t'kill an' a need t'make myself useful. 

*She doesn't add a 'please,' but given how strained her voice sounds, it may as well be apparent.*

[ The feed clicks on to record Luffy feet, toes wiggling in his sandals. He's currently sitting on one of the sidewalks, down from the MAC. just talking to himself and his comm like a crazy mofo ] How long as it been? A day? . . . Hmmm, I remember it being night. I think? Sanji was being weird and I was talking to Tako-Chao, but after that---Ah, that's right!! THE PIZZAS!

[ standing up and screaming into his phone, wheezing!!! ] TAKO-CHAAAO! I mean--Sanji! Chopper! Brooook!--Are they still here?--JEEESS, JESSSICAAA, HAIR-JOHNNY!! JADE, BUNNY PAJAMAAAAAS! Bear Finn! [ more names require more braining.. must conserve the strength ]

Where did everyone go? WHERE ARE YOU GUYS? IS MY PIZZA GONE?! UOOOHHHHH!!! [ RUNNING!! ]

[This starts off like an accidental video at first, with Pinkie examining what appears to be piles of balloons, pinatas, candy, more candy, yet more candy, and various random paraphernalia, much of it brightly colored. Oh look, is that cotton candy?

She appears to notice the communicator]

Oh hey! That's where this thing went! I was sort of wondering, but whenever I went looking for it I'd find something else.

[She grabs the phone thing in her little pink muzzle and trots off to a different part of her apartment, thus proving that it's not all a disaster area, and is actually mostly fairly neat. There's just a corner that seems devoted to party supplies everywhere - though some of the banners and streamers and things have been hung up around the room.]

Hey, every- uh, body! How are you doing? Did you know that they give you bits just for BEING here? Except they call them dollars here, I guess. Look at all this candy!!

[Pinkie that's not healthy]

All these leaves changing color is making me think of the running of the leaves back home, though. Last year I got to go up in Twilight's balloon and commentate. Spike was with me, so that was fun, because being with your friends is always fun. I miss everypony here, even though it's always nice to make new friends.

Oh! And I was thinking that I should throw a party! It's turning autumn, and what better way to celebrate? I'm not quite sure where it should be, though....

[Sometimes people have realizations about the world that are so amazing, profound, and life changing that they must share their discovery with the world thus changing it forever. This is not one of those times.]

Himuro, you're a girl.

[ sent straight to your communicators from the Jessica Drew comm, it’s clicked onto video and there’s a Johnny Storm lying upside on the couch, with a de-racooned eyes Gwen sitting by him, painting her nails. Jess is holding the communicator and therefore, off camera, and it’s obvious the three of them are in Gwen’s apartment.

aaaanyways, Jess is in the middle of talking (surprise, surprise) when it clicks on. ]

-- So, anyways, they have this team called the Avengers here. And, uh -- Nertz -- [ when she realizes that it’s recording her talking like a buttface. ]

…. Heh. Avengers, anyone?

[ gwen, totally not realizing that jess is recording this: ] Avengers is a way better name than the Ultimates. How full of yourself do you have to be to name your team the Ultimates? It kind of makes sense, though. They’re all a bunch of douchebags.

[ johnny snickers and twists around to look at jess. ]

Are they huge douchebags in every universe though? Like, just say they’re upstanding, helpful citizens or something in another universe.

[ Jess clears her throat and the camera moves upwards, filming............... the ceiling. someone take it out of her hands. ]

I don’t think they’re that bad here? I mean, I didn’t think the Ultimates were that bad.... Captain America seemed like a jerk though...

The least douche-y of them is Iron Man, and that’s saying something. I mean, the guy had a leaked sex tape. And he totally landed on our lawn once, looking for -- [ there’s a pause as she looks up and sees jess recording ] … For directions.

Man that was lame. Doesn’t that suit of his have a GPS or something?

[ the camera starts zooming in on the ceiling because, sure, why not. ]

I know, right? It’s like he’s just floating above the lawn, giving Aunt May a heart attack like... Thank you, good citizens! And I’m just standing there thinking, you’re in a giant, million-dollar suit and you can’t fucking MapQuest where you need to go? You have to come to Queens? He’s the dumbest smart guy ever.

[ aaaand then the camera’s swiveling back to Gwen in the middle of her rant, angry hand gestures caught on camera and all. after a long pause.... Jess clears her throat again and gently... whispers into the mic of the communicator ]

Iron Man, if you heard this, please don’t bust into our apartment and kill us with your repulsor beams. Thanks...

[ and she... slowly cuts the feed ]

To all interested heroes - Hero TV is now accepting applicants for the auditions! For more information and applications themselves, you can go to [hero tv official site], or call [hero tv phone number, conveniently 555-555-555]!

I hope to see the very best out of you all!

Now, I can put some focus into getting my other projects underway... I'm also looking for people who might be interested in doing radio. Nothing permanent, necessarily, I'm just looking for some exciting guests! Variety, the spice of life, you know how it goes!

And, also, finally, I'd like to survey the tastes of people out here, in what they want out of their nightlife. What do you like to see in a nice club or such when you hit the town for the night?

I'd particularly like to hear from men and women of, shall we say, certain taste? [Dohohoho, being obvious while coy at the same time.]

Or, as ever, you and I can just talk! I love meeting new people!
