My, I hadn't expected to encounter such ardent Shakespeare aficionados here. I'm afraid my own literary enthusiasm has been put to shame.

[he smiles. perhaps he should be informing everyone of his little brother's departure, but he doesn't like to emphasize their relationship publicly, and he doubts amaimon was much of a social butterfly in the first place. if anyone is actually concerned with his presence or lack thereof, they'll figure it out for themselves.]

Well!

[there's the thud of an owl hitting the window off screen; his eyes glance in that direction for a moment, but he simply ignores it.]

I suppose it's only polite to extend a greeting to all of our newcomers, and what more efficient way than to address them all at once!

Welcome, and I'm sure we're all happy to have you join us on this surprise holiday! I can assure you there will be few dull moments during your time here, however long or short it may turn out to be.

(And if any of you happened to see the finale of Magical☆Motoko before coming here and plan on discussing it, please place all of your spoilers behind a cut for those of us whose timing was less fortunate. ♥)

[The feed kicks on to show a very close image of a handsome, sunglasses-clad face. Whoever this man is, he's got a merry grin for someone who basically got kidnapped from his Earth.]

Ah! Perfect, perfect! Finally got the nature of this little device downpat. What marvelous technology this place has. I've never seen its like, before. Not even in Blacktech records...

[He refocuses, sweeping his broad hat across his bare chest and giving a slight bow.]

Ciao~! On behalf of the chivalrous Jellyfish Air Pirates, Johnny greets you all with an open heart. It seems we're all in quite an interesting predicament, hm? Rest assured, I intend to pull my weight and help get us all home as soon as possible. Hopefully before Christmas, as I have very important business to attend to. If the women of Earth noticed me missing for too long a time, there might be panic in the very streets!

Well, let's see what kind of crew I'll be working with. Any other Thor patrons on this message system? Come, come, step forward. House-mates should help each other, no? Even if you're not in that house, introduce yourself anyway.

[While he's on a roll, might as well keep talking.]

Personally, I'm an Earth-native, from the year 2182...give or take. We're not entirely certain, due to unfortunate circumstances.

My, doesn't it smell delicious in here! I certainly hope my new housemates will feel like sharing. It's much harder to flourish on an empty stomach, after all. ☆

Has everyone found their time here to truly be as simple as we've been told to believe? It sounds almost more like an unexpected vacation than a world-saving mission-- though I suppose there are still certain responsibilities that seem to have followed me here.

[lookin' at you, bros]

Well! Regardless of what may lie in store, I shall eagerly join you all in embarking on this grand adventure!
