[A smug-looking Rumplestiltskin is back on the network. After being gone, to anyone who might have noticed (read: Belle, and possibly Loki), since Friday.]

Well, that was a bit of an adventure. It's good to be back. Even better, though, to have discovered something of import.

[He turns the crystal's viewer away from himself, to show where he is: the home of the murdered woman from the week before. Some people might recognize it, but most people probably won't. Thankfully, they have narration.]

This is the home of Nadia, that lovely young woman who died last week. In her own home, no less. In this very room. I have discovered the identity of her murderer. Behold.

[He's enjoying this, can you tell? There's a pause, and then the room swirls with purple smoke. When it clears, said young woman is there. She's sitting in her living room with another familiar face, the librarian page who turned up dead Thursday with two others. They're drinking tea. Nadia picks up the dishes and moves off to the kitchen with them. The visual follows her, as does her killer. They're chatting, though the vision has no sound, so no one can tell what about. As Nadia finishes the dishes, her back to her friend, he walks up behind her and slits her throat neatly. Thankfully for the potential children watching, their backs are to the video feed, so all anyone sees is the woman crumpling to the ground. Rumple even politely turns the feed away before there's more than a little blood.]

Very interesting, wouldn't you say? They were apparently friends, and he is acting in quite an un-librarian fashion. Even more interesting, given he turned up dead, not two days later. Food for thought, is it not?

[And with that, he turns off the feed-- and gets the hell out of that house before someone shows up to arrest him for trespassing on a crime scene, no matter how old. He'll be responding to things in a minute... once he's someplace a bit safer than here.]

[Matters have calmed somewhat at the hospital now that the bone fiend infections have all run their unfortunate course.]

Certain issues recently apparent. Authority to make medical decisions often unclear.

[Yes, Shepards, he means the fact that no one is sure which of you gets to authorize autopsies on your crew actually]

Requesting clarification from all non-Verdana natives. Designation of authority in case of incapacitation.

[And because what is death.]

Also stance on post-mortem examination if circumstances unusual.

[Thor's back to bother everybody on the network! Or rather, a video one of his remote cameras is back to bother everybody, with Thor's voice in the background.]

I believe I have set this up correctly....

[The video is showing a forest, near the edge of the dead zone, if anyone recognizes that.]

Ah. I have seen something on this video feed. But it cannot make it go forward, now, to the correct time. And now I believe it is stuck, I cannot find the command to take this video off of the communicator. Many apologies, everyone. I will simply have to describe it from memory.

[Still playing forest. Yup.]

I have these cameras from Tony Stark, around the area where everything dies. It recorded something this morning, of one more of those bone demons squabbling with something I could not make out. They were smaller than the ones we fought. But then something... pulsed. And it killed the camera, and, I believe, the bone creatures. I went to investigate, but could find no trace.

What could do such a thing?

--aha, I found it!

[And the whole feed stops, instead of just the peaceful forest scene. Thor can manage some technology all right, but sometimes he's just a doofus with it. Sorry network peeps.]

[When Christine awakes to the sound of the pod's door unlocking, she's disoriented for only a moment before she remembers what happened. Her second death. She didn't like that (who would, though?). She was on her third life now. How many more would she get?

But, not willing to look a gift horse in the mouth, she pushes open the pod and opens the trunk at the foot, getting dressed. Once that's done, she sits for a bit to cry before finally turning on her communicator and addressing everyone.]


It's Christine. I'm... back again. From the pods. Did those monsters come back? Is everyone safe?

[She pauses to take a shaky breath.]

What day is it?

[The backdrop is a middling familiar one to anyone who's been paying the slightest bit of attention to the goings-on with Salvation, consoles of a futuristic bent: mostly functional, bulkheads: some damaged. Kaidan is leaning up against one of the bits of better-repaired tech, his communicator propped up to let him speak as if giving an interview.

(To the annoyance, somewhere in the multiverse, of one Diana Allers, he seems a lot more open about this one.)]


So, ah, hey there.

This is Kaidan Alenko, since I know we've had some new people wake up since the last time I was on the network. I'm one of the people that's been working on the ship, among other things, and I figured I should let you all know how it's going.

Ah... specifically I'm trying to bring Salvation's ship's AI back online. AIs are kind've a touchy subject back where I'm from, and I imagine that's probably not an isolated experience, so I thought I may as well put this out there so people can get any questions or concerns out now, instead of after they've tried storming the ship and ended up put inside a force field by it.

If there are any newly decanted engineers or other folks with mechanical or electrical skills, we could sure use more hands on this project too. I'm hoping that bringing Salvation back online will let us figure out how best to fix her so we can work on getting home again.

[ Akito has decided to show off his now mostly-grown kitten, Aura, who has a lovely plumage instead of fur.

For those of you who don't believe in him, or spirits in general, all you'll see is an adolescent cat floating in front of the camera as though something invisible is holding her up from under her armpits. ]


Aura has grown so much, ne? I was thinking of getting her a nice collar now that she's big enough...

[ Aura chirps once, then purrs at Akito's attention. While he hasn't figured out her strange mix of language enough to decipher what she says, he at least understands what she means, and so he rubs his face on her head affectionately.

He switches the video to Atticus and Genesis' garden. It looks kind of... shabby, but not yet dead! Since he has been trying his best okay. ;; He comments on it in text, since he wants his message to reach everyone: ]


Does anyone know much about gardening? I'm not very good at it, and I don't want their garden to die.

Hello, everyone. For those who don't know me, I'm Christine and I work at the hospital in Poseidon. After getting some good advice from a friend, [You know who you are, Pepper.] I've decided to start a first aid seminar here at the hospital for anyone who wants to learn. My hope is that word of this spreads out past Poseidon to other places, but for now, I'm mostly expecting locals. I'm aiming for a class once a month for a couple of hours. The first class will be at the hospital on Saturday. Just follow the signs from the front door.

If you have any questions, or you're a medic yourself and want to contribute, just let me know.

How does somebody get a job around here? I'm starting to go a little stir crazy, just hanging around The Flop. I don't really have any professional skills, but I'm a quick learner and I'm really creative.

I know Atticus's been gone for a bit now, but seemed too soon to be worryin' about this before. But... me 'n Luke need a new officiant, since he was gonna do the ceremony. There anyone else who can help us out with that?

And I ain't got a bun in the oven!

[If anyone was wondering where one werewolf happened to be, well, here he is, looking a bit embarrassed. He's obviously made his way out of the ship, and back to his own apartment in the Old City, given the background isn't the ship, but a dimly lit and sparsely decorated living room.]

This is Randolph Lyall. I thought I should probably let everyone know I've returned, now. It doesn't look like I was out of commission for very long, at least, though if anything major has changed, or anything minor that I ought to know about, do please let me know.

I will say, the experience of waking up in that ship again was... disconcerting. I appear to be as I was, however, minus a week or two of pay. Though apparently my motorbike has vanished. Wes, if you find this message, if you would be so kind as to let me know if it's at that apartment. I'll come fetch it, if so.

[Which will be a pain if it is, but more of a pain if it's disappeared entirely, which is what he's afraid happened.]

Otherwise, well. I suppose I shall see you all in person again come the weekend.

[The setting in behind Kaylee is fairly recognizable as the area right outside the ship. Which isn't surprising, as the smudge of grease on her face suggests she's very recently been pretty deep in a generator or engine.]

Alright, I ain't the only one who's been feelin' right discombobulated when they go on or off the ship the past coupla weeks, am I? Thought I might be comin' down with somethin' at first, but that's the only time I get all dizzy like. Wouldn't be the weirdest thing the ship's ever done I guess...

Atticus is sleeping again on the Ship. I thought everyone should know. Let's hope he returns, yes?

Um, okay, so I think I've been watching a little too much Twilight Zone lately...

[Dani's voice is slightly nervous, as is her little laugh at her own circumstances and attempts at assimilating her current situation into her own world view. And she knows she's more than just nervous because that's her father's voice in her mind, not hers. She's scared. Her eyes dart nervously about and she often looks away from the screen of her communicator.]

This isn't all just in my head, is it? This place? I mean because at least this all being some weird immersive hallucination would make some sort of sense.

[If she were locked away in Building 7, for instance, and everything that had come after her father met with her in holding was the product of her own guilty mind. Or she was still in that room in the warehouse and one of Stanton's special pets was weaving some elaborate simulation for her. That would make sense. But everything feels too real and this is a remarkably random scenario for either of those explanations.]

I just don't understand. I'm trying, but I don't know how I got here. I don't even know how I can be here. The last thing I remember...

Look, I'm not even sure what the last thing I remember is, okay? But I do know that I was in New York and then I was waking up on some kind of spaceship in my underwear.

[Another nervous laugh.]

Do I need to worry about being probed or something? [A small, frustrated sigh follows.]

Is there anyone out there even listening to me?

[ Helga Hufflepuff is finding the communicators to be an incredibly useful tool. She finds it a bit like addressing a classroom, almost. Much more manageable than a magic mirror and less messy than an owl. However, she does have the translate feature on. There is bound to be a language barrier of some kind when one is from the distant past. ]

Hello. For those that I have yet to meet, my name is Helga Hufflepuff.

[ She is currently seated by a wide but shallow stream and a large rock that the water has made mostly flat. She has the communicator set up on a flat rock a foot away so that it might capture her movements. There is a knife, a small reed basket filled with purple and tawny colored stalks. There is also a two pieces of white cloth on the rock, one looks used. Helga does not have a table but this will suit her purposes nicely. ]

This...

[ She holds up a lilac colored mushroom. ]

Is a bluestalk mushroom. It is commonly found in forests and you may eat it, however, I do caution against eating it uncooked. It can disagree with one's stomach.

[ Yes, this is a bit of a lesson but there is a purpose. ]

I am surprised to find them here. However, I must urge a bit of caution when picking this mushroom. To begin with, it looks similar to other, more deadly mushrooms. Bluestalks have a sweet, almost floral fragrance. More mature specimens, will be darker in color.

[ She shows one. ]

Their cap will be flatter. Lighter colors and a more conical shape cap indicate a much younger mushroom. I have not found that age makes a difference in taste.

Until you are very certain about what mushrooms you have harvested, you will want to check its pattern. Parchment is best but clothe will work as well. Cut the mushroom in half and press into the cloth. You must leave it for several hours, I find it best to leave it overnight. Do not worry about the edibility. This short time will not effect it.

[ Helga picks up the white piece of cloth and moves it closer to her. She spreads it to ensure that it is flat before picking up her knife.She slices a mushroom in half and presses it into the fabric. ]

I have done one ahead of time to show you that a bluestalk mushroom's pattern will be almost white in color to varying shades of pink.

[ She reaches for the second piece of fabric and holds it up to display the spore pattern. ]

If the pattern is any other color, do not eat it! That is not a bluestalk and you will be extremely regretful. However, it is entirely possible that you found a mushroom that produces a very lovely green dye.

[ A silver-lining that is not poison, Helga has found it.

She puts aside the cloth and mushrooms before addressing the communicator properly. ]


I do not wish to boast but in my time, I was something of a merchant and a teacher. I know quite a bit on the subject of herbology and what I wish to propose now is something of a trade. Your knowledge for mine. This place is new. I need to know more about the native animals and plantlife that make up this world. Herbology is not my only skill. I can heal. I can mend.

[ She smiles. ]

Thank you.

I've heard about the collars that neutralize a person's magical abilities.
Do they still use those in this new Verdana?
If so, how do they react when used on a non-human?
Are they turned human too or are their abilities simply taken away?

[The video flickers on, water blurring the feed a little.]

Gods below... [A mutter and then Atticus is flopping over on his side to look down on the camera. He's shirtless, laying in the grass in the woods somewhere getting rained on but grinning so wide he must not care. Anyone that knows him will note that he's got his tattoos pressed firmly to the earth beneath him which accounts for the relief in his voice.]

So... uh... [And it takes him a moment to decide what's safe to talk about on the video. He's a little addled after more than a week in Nowhere.] How much trouble has my hound been causing?

[A smirk. Yeah he was going to sprawl out in the grass anyway but there's another reason he's on the ground.] Missed you too, Akito.

[ For most, this video feed might look like nothing but a nice shot of scenery in the forest. Birds chirp and flutter on and off camera but, besides that, there's nothing really happening and no one in sight. For those that believe in her, however, they'll see Toothiana in all her wonderfully bright colors and with a small smile on her face.
Despite the feed being video, a text message accompanies it.
]

Hello, everyone!

My name is Toothiana. While that's my given name, almost everyone where I was from referred to me as the 'Tooth Fairy.' Yes, /that/ Tooth Fairy. It's a familiar story for most but to those that it's not-- I collect the teeth of children and leave behind a small gift in exchange. The reason I collect the teeth is because the most precious memories of childhood are stored in them. It's why my other title, though lesser known, is the Guardian of Memories.


[ Though there's no actual delay in the post, she had deliberated for quite a few minutes before figuring out what to say next. ]

I know it's probably a little strange but I'm not the first spirit here. There's Jack Frost and Akito, to my knowledge, and I'm similar to them. You can't see me if you don't believe in me. I don't expect all of you to believe me in me though. Not right away, at least! I hope that you do eventually, of course, as belief is the only thing keeping me in existence.

I'll be happy to answer any questions that you may have. Thank you for your time!

Hi. [ he's not sure what to say, so he goes with regulation; he clears his throat, his tone going official. ]

My name is James T. Kirk, and I'm Captain of the Federation starship USS Enterprise, [ he falters: ] not that that... really matters here, I guess. [ a half-hearted attempt to return to sounding official: ] I got here- "woke up" --roughly two nights ago, and, [ and it falls apart. ] I've gotta say, for a city in the middle of what was reportedly a bountiful forest, I'm feeling underwhelmed by the cuisine here. Is there any place around here to get something good? I'll eat just about anything, I just [ he laughs quietly. ] ...can't cook. I can hunt if I have to, but I'd rather go with someone until I learn the basic lay of the land.

Mm, and while I'm here, I need to get a job or something or I'm going to go insane, so if anyone needs a fully-trained starship captain...? I'm your man.

Thanks. [ awkwardly, because he's not sure how to end this transmission: ] Kirk out.
