Genesis is gone now too.

[ he pauses, then adds the same message in text format for those who can't see him for lack of belief. ]

The Winds can't find her at all.

[ which might explain any sudden breezes that Pepper, Jack, Elissa, and Christine may have been wrapped with momentarily shortly before his announcement. just checking in on his friends and important people. ]

So many of the friends I've made are disappearing. I'm sad they're not still here, even if it's selfish.

[ he ends the video feed and switches entirely to text. ]

I think I would like more things to fill my time with.
All I've been doing lately is training and training
But it gets tiring after a while.
Are there any good books or movies here people can recommend?
Or small mechanical items that need fixing?
Or anyone that would like a drawing of something?

djinnigenie

[A very happy Elissa is holding her communications device and speaking very loudly as if trying to be heard over a great deal of noise. Strangely enough, the only noise is the rather frantic barking of her enormous dog Dane who keeps trying to push his way into the view of the camera.]

Greetings, all! I hope that you can hear me over the celebrations. Kozmotis has been found! It seems half of Ferelden was on the ship, but they are safely with me now. All is well! There is no need to search further!

[She laughs at something only she can hear and casts a brilliant smile to her left.]

Really, you should all come visit this week to meet everyone - Alistair, Leliana (she is the one who is singing!), Zevran, even my brother Fergus and my beloved Loghain are present! If you come, please bring ale as Oghren shall shortly run us out of our supply.

[Dane is still barking as Elissa ends the communication.]

djinnigenie

[Elissa's expression is uncertain as she looks into the camera. For those who have visited Kozmotis' big home in the woods, it is obvious that she is sitting in the central area. The head of an enormous dog rests against her arm as if trying to look into the camera as well.]

Please forgive the intrusion, but... Has anyone seen Kozmotis of late? Dane and I have searched the surrounding woods, but tis difficult to track the man due to his shapeshifting abilities. If you have seen him or if he is with you, please let me know that he is safe. He has not answered his communications device.

Thank you for your time.

[The large dog whimpers and licks at Elissa's worried face as she cuts the camera.]

djinnigenie

[Elissa flashes a bright smile to her communications device.]

Jack? Are you busy? This is Elissa.

akito

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?

[ added later | private messages to Christine, Lyall, Pepper, Belle, and Jack ]

Do you mind if I ask you a favour?

djinnigenie

I am awake. Was anyone else hurt? I hope not. Despite not knowing how long I have been asleep, it seems that I am well. The three of you have my gratitude for your efforts and my apologies for being foolish enough to be caught in such a situation. If any of you were harmed, I shall be most grieved.

[Afternoon~]

Okay, I realized I forgot to do my duty and survey everyone who had a little time travel jaunt. So if anyone can help me in that, I would appreciate it. I know it is a little late, but I didn't think it could be important. So, apologies for the tardiness in this question and the potential for any repetition. That was my fault as well, I was distracted with other projects.

Also, I am in the market for an assistant or two. I'm looking for someone who has a basic grasp of the scientific method, or barring that, the ability to help do pesky things like make sure I've been feed and had adequate hydration and that I am getting enough sleep. My assistants tend to be my minders, I'm sorry to say.

And finally, I can use an engineering consult, so that will be much appreciated.

djinnigenie

[Elissa's voice is as neutral and relaxed as she can manage it when she speaks.]

This is Elissa Cousland.

I have procured a ring to protect from mental influence from another who woke in the star vessel. I have spoken to Inara who seemed to have some understanding of mental influences. Thor has easily forgiven me as he suffered no true harm except to miss out on battling the creature once he was through the rift. I have made peace with Chime who is now my friend.

I tell you these things in order to ask for the return of my weapons, so that I might be of use on the expedition to locate the fallen object. Twill be difficult to protect people from wildlife or other threats with nothing more than a hatchet and an awl from our current building project.

Humbly, I request the return of my longsword and dagger, if only for the duration of the expedition. Allow me to prove myself to you. I will gladly return them to you once the expedition has ended, should you still lack trust in me.

[ While trying to figure out what path to take, Helga has been studying the communicator device that she was given. It is unlike anything she has ever seen before. It does not resemble something that even great Archimedes would have crafted. It is sleek. There are no gears that she can see nor can she see any moving parts. She cautiously experiments, buttons are pushed. The screen flashes on. People talk. It startles Helga into dropping the device as though it had just burned her.

What is that? The device is pointed up at her and it shows a woman with long, red hair wearing an even longer mustard-colored dress. She is sitting outside of the great ship. There is an expression of uncertainty on her face.

She watches it for a moment before picking it back up. ]

Is this a two-way mirror of some kind? Can anyone hear my voice?

djinnigenie

Janson? This is Elissa Cousland. We have spoken before - do you recall?

akito

The Spring Equinox is coming up
And the city is getting ready for preparations

I am turning 100 years old this Equinox
Which is an important birthday
At least for spirits
I think

I don't know much about birthday celebrations
And the city looks like it will be having its own big party (???)
So I was wondering if anyone would like to
Hang out with me during the equinox?
For a little while maybe
If it is not too much trouble!!

tiptoeing

[Bruce is sitting at a small kitchen table in his house, which is much nicer than his last one. It's small and simply decorated, thankfully, but living somewhere with things like heat, electricity and running water is a little weird. Of course, he was used to going without some, or even all of those things even before Verdana.

There's a pile of papers in front of him: messy notes on information he's gathered from various people and library books. He's wearing his glasses and a professor-like outfit, and is also enjoying a cup of tea.]

For those who know me and haven't seen me yet...well. I'm awake, obviously. I've already been filled in on what happened, but I'd like to know who's still here and how things have changed for you.

I've found my house in this timeline, but I'm not sure if finding out where I worked before would even be worthwhile, considering my absence. I would, however, like to help out on the ship and in the hospital again, if possible.

For those of you who don't know me, I'm Dr. Bruce Banner. I've been in a pod for the past two and a half months, but I was here prior to that. My skill set includes nuclear physics, biochemistry, medicine, engineering, and various languages. If you need help in any of those areas, feel free to contact me.

[The message pings its way across the communicators, encrypted and filtered to the Ship contingent (and Thor) on a lazy Saturday morning. ]

Kaidan Alenko here.

Now that we've all had a chance to catch our breath, I should share what I learned for my part of the timeslip. To give some context, I was dropped back a hundred years or so relative to now, to a point on board Salvation roughly a week before her crash.

The ship was functional, and I was able to speak to the AI and learn a few things about the nature of what's going on here. Most critical is the fact that we weren't brought here by Salvation or her crew for a specific purpose, we were rescued after having fallen through a dimensional rift out of our own realities and into the spaces in between, where it's pretty lethal to the point where several weeks of regeneration in the stasis pods still left one poor guy looking like what might some day become hamburger after the pod dislodged him ahead of schedule.

I'd say 'accidentally', but Salvation's AI suspected sabotage, but was unable to prove it due to gaps in her memory logs, likely intentional. I was unable to access key parts of her systems in that timestream, but if we can get her online again now, I bet I could learn more.

Back to the reality rifts thing -- one opened on the ship at one point, letting these energy-sucking creatures on board the ship. Exciting stuff, if you can imagine, and I wonder if they were the same things that people in the future timeline reported seeing.

Salvation has the computing power needed to get us all home again, if we can repair her enough, but to my mind the stakes are higher. Something's destabilizing different realities, and the goal of the ship was to figure out how to stop it. If that's the future of Verdana, and I have my suspicions about what that countdown on the ship is about, I think we might need to make a stand here before we think about going home, or we might not have homes left to go to.

Alenko out.

[In a private message to Tosh, Bruce and Tony]

On a lighter note, I scored an equation for calculating time travel off the AI, if anyone's curious. It's huge, though, you'll need some serious data storage just for the equation alone.

djinnigenie

[There is greenery behind Elissa - too much of it for her to be in any populated area. Logic dictates that she must be in one of the forests or at least a heavily forested area.]

Greetings, all.

I seek mages, witches, or any who can wield the power of magic to aid me in several quests. If you do not wish to reveal your abilities to the world at large, please send me a private message. I shall keep your confidence.

I have several herbs from my world. Tis my hope that someone skilled in plants might be able to find seeds upon them in order to grow them here.

I have several medicinal potions and poultices from my world that use the herbs for the main ingredient. I also seek someone who can replenish my supply, if the herbs can be grown.

Thirdly, I seek someone skilled in enchantments or runes or amulets who might be able to craft something to ward off mental attacks.

I have few valuables upon my person, but am quite willing to barter services for any who can aid me.

girlworthfighting

Hello. I hope everyone has been well and able to acclimate to all the changes upon our return to this point in time. I seem to have gotten my bearings now...though it was a little difficult, especially in light of the fact someone was apparently making decisions for me in this other version of the present.

However, there is something I'm looking into. Right now my home is still at the Flop, but I'm no longer...comfortable, staying there for the indeterminate future. It isn't the same as it was before, and I'm getting the sense I might have worn out my welcome.

I was wondering if anyone I've already made acquaintance with would be willing to let me move in, if they have the room for it. I can help pay for lodging; I have steady employment here. Not much money, but enough.

fearguard

[Koz can't do much with the storm going on so he's going to make some conversation with the people at large here.]

While I'm aware that english, or at least a variation on it, is the language most used here I'm curious what other ones people know or are more comfortable with at the very least. I'm familiar with quite a few so if there's one you'd prefer speaking in I'm more than willing to oblige.

A language barrier shouldn't be a reason for us to be unable to work together and if anyone wishes to learn a language I'm more than willing to teach.

[There's a pause.]

I'm also wondering if anyone skilled with a sword could use a sparring partner, I seem to be short one.

djinnigenie

[The young woman on the image wears a grave expression and seems to be quietly determined. Her spoken words are more like a letter than an actual conversation.]

Thor.

I have seen you working for the past few days. Is there a time when it would be convenient for us to speak face-to-face? You are owed an explanation and an apology and so much more.

Please give me a chance to speak with you?

I would be most grateful.

Your humble servant,
Elissa Cousland

forbiddenfriendship

[the video feed turns on, and a giant, curious yellow eye stares back, accompanied by a deep, rumbling noise that sounded a bit like a cat's purr. Off in the distance comes a young man's voice talking in Norse - although thanks to the communicator's translation, there's an easy English text version popping up]

Toothless, what are you doing with that…[there's a crash, as the voice has apparently just dropped something]...oh gods, it's a magic book.

[the giant eye twists away, as Toothless lifts his head up to look inquisitively off at something to the side - the source of the voice, presumably. The angle is strange, and all you can see is part of his head, but it's clear enough that Toothless is covered in black scales, and big.]

Okay, okay…Toothless, just come over here, okay buddy? [Toothless rumbles softly, but takes a step away from the book, and out of view.] That's it, come on…let's get away from the magic, probably cursed book…oh gods, why me…

thefuzzyguy

[As he speaks he holds up what looks like a clunky digital watch from the late nineties with too many buttons that don't do anything. It is slightly smashed.]

So this is probably kind of dumb, since I barely use it anymore, but my image inducer broke... back in one of the other timelines. Not important. It's a pretty weird piece of technology und I totally have no idea how it works, but I know there are techy people here. Sometimes from the future in space. I know back home the professor can usually fix it, but once in a while he sent it back to... whoever made it for him? I don't get all the secrets. I just get a hologram that can sometimes keep me from looking like Satan started a line of plushies.

djinnigenie

[Open channel audio again. Someone really needs to teach Elissa the correct use of the communicator. Instead of going out to a specific individual, anyone can hear the message.]

Haruka? I need my things. I have no money, no clothing, no protection. The people we thought dead are alive. Can I not regain my possessions?

[Fumble, fumble. *click*]
