[Private to Kon & Kuchiha;]

Look, guys!

[Do you see this? It's Toki with a handful of dirt containing a tiny plant sprout -- he makes a face at it for a moment, and suddenly it grows, roots slithering across his hands and stem lengthening until a single white flower unfolds.]

I learned to do this! It's pretty cool, huh?

[And now he tries to untangle his fingers, only to end up dropping the whole plant. He yelps, jumps, then looks down with a clearly distressed face.]

Oh. I stepped on it.

It's pretty cold, huh? I've been trying out my power, but it's hard to keep plants alive in the snow.

What kind of powers does everyone else have? I bet we could do some pretty cool things if we worked together!

[Hello there, Asgard. Have a troll, laying back on his bed in his room over in Hel house. He's got his pillows and blankets piled against the wall, leaning back against them with his knees bent up and his arms pulled in around his stomach. He's set the bracelet on the nightstand, where it records him looking down at his fingers while he plays with his nails and thinks for a moment. Then he looks up at the recording, taking in a deep breath before he starts.]

Alright, so after explaining what the fuck I am and what I've done for the two-thousand-eight-hundred-and-thirty-sixth time, I think it's time to get a little back from at least the halfway-intelligent of the rest of you.

Basically, I have way too much fucking time on my hands all of a sudden, and I don't know really know what to do with it, so I might as well get a little more involved in the "community" if I have to put up with all of you nooksucking woobie idiots. In short, you can all be reassured that it's out of sheer, mind-numbing boredom that I'm even acknowledging the minuscule amount of curiosity I harbor toward the multitude of universes you've all been unceremoniously ripped from at what I can only assume was the worst moment possible. If you haven't caught on yet, I'll make it perfectly clear what I'm talking about.

I want you to tell me where you're from. Describe to me, in the most intelligent manner possible, what your home world was like. And don't just give me stupid hoofbeastshit stories. I might have copious amounts of time, but not enough for you to waste with grueling dribble about exactly how vaguely "cool" or "awesome" or "boring" your world is. Make it interesting.

[He pauses, making a bit of a face as he realizes something.]

Oh, yeah.

If anyone else from Alternia has gotten here, and we haven't talked yet, we need to, so get a hold of me.

[The feed starts off blinking, before coming into view.  Clearly the wearer hasn't gotten fully used to his braclet yet even though he's been wearing it for a few weeks now. ]
[He grumbles] Is this thing-dammit fine be that way...stupid.  Cheh.

AHEHEHEHEMMMMM.  OI, IF YOU GUYS ARE LISTENING.  I got somethin' to say.  While talkin' about our feelings is great and all.  Has anyone got any real answers?  I mean, we know we're kidnapped, but there's gotta be something more than that. 

I know I'm not the only one whose sick of sitting around all day with nothin' to do, but pick lint off the floor. 

When are we gonna do this spring cleaning that they recruited us for?  I know I sure didn't sign up for this. 

If it comes down to it, I'll go talk to those stupid Gods myself.

[This is not the first time he's woken up in a strange place.

He's starting to thing that someone out there is just toying with him at this point, but at last last time he wasn't really missing anything. This time, the timing was downright awful, and he's angry and worried as well as disoriented.

Still, he's doing his best to look friendly and smile when he turns his video on from his room.]

Hey, everyone. Looks like this is new to all of us, huh? Does anyone use this network that isn't from another world? It seems kind of weird to set something up just for us.

Also, has anyone here heard of "heaven's net"?

I wonder what kind of "fate" they have here...



Oh, yeah -- I'm Tokidoki. It's nice to meet you all, I guess.
