Hello, everyone. For those of you who are new, my name is Natasha Romanov. I'm one of those superheroes you might have been warned about.

In the interest of accurate record keeping, I'd like to help Doctor Strange sort out how many worlds and alternate universes we have here. Knowing what powers you had before arriving would be helpful, too.

I'm not going to twist anyone's arm in this. Share or not, but we might be able to find out a pattern between our home worlds. So, if you could, here are some subjects I'd like you to hit:

World name
Current year
Does magic exist? If so, what is it like?
What is the technology level like when compared to Norfinbury?
Is contact with other worlds/universes/planets common?
Do monsters/ghosts/fairies or other "mythological" creatures exist?
How many sentient races inhabit your planet?
If you come from Earth, name some recent, major events that have happened. We have a lot of "earths" here, and I'd like to separate them out if possible.
How many other people are from your world in Norfinbury?

And as for powers or abilities, try to be as descriptive as possible.
Is it considered magic or a superpower, or something more mundane?
Is your power unique or somewhat common?
How does it work and how do you use it?
Does it have a genetic component, or did you acquire it in some other way?

Thanks.
 
 
I meant to announce this a while ago, but this town doesn't exactly like making anything simple.

In the aftermath of the Admin's announcement a while back about supplies running low, I took the liberty of looking into how our food is restocking. Nobody else had mentioned they were doing so, and it seemed like something we should know sooner rather than later.

[There might be a slight note of annoyance that she was the only one who thought about and followed through on this. Or if she wasn't the only one, the only one that's announcing the results. Not that she's going to go into a full day-by-day at this exact second. She's not a politician - she isn't here to make some kind of long-winded speech.]

Preliminary results are showing no change in how much food is being stocked in stores. Anybody who wants to know the full details of what I did in my experiments and how can ask for them.

That being said? My experiments were far from conclusive. There's only so much I can do by myself, and I'm not sure how much time we have exactly to dedicate to this. Don't get careless with food just because we think that food supplies are fine for now. That won't always be the case.

[And hey, on that earlier note of slight annoyance.]

And if anybody's interested in trying to do a more thorough experiment, or if at any point you or a group you're with empty a restock point completely, contact me. Or if you've done something similar and haven't said anything yet, now's a good time to add your own contribution.

[Video is a conscious choice for this post. Stephen is new here, a relative unknown, and he's coming to these people asking for information. He sets himself up with his tablet in the bedroom of the house where he's overnighting with Dr. Watson, camera angled to show head and shoulders. The cuts and scrapes of a few days ago are still in evidence, and a sharp eye might pick out the new bruise forming on one cheek.

Besides looking a hell of a lot like Sherlock, he doesn't look much like a neurosurgeon. If anything, he probably looks a little like a super villian, with the goatee and the high-collared red cloak and everything. Just don't tell Stephen that.

He levels a serious gaze on the camera. What comes next is just a little bit rehearsed.
]

My name is Doctor Stephen Strange. I spoke to many of you when I arrived here three days ago, and it seems to me we would all benefit from knowing just who else is here with us. Being able to match up identities to screen names will be helpful to everyone, and it's possible that if we conduct a full census of the people here it might shed some light on the question of why each of us were chosen to be brought here.

I've started already. I marked down the people I've seen on the network since I got here, and I copied over names and dates from the obituaries. I know this list isn't complete, though, so I ask that all of you help me fill in the blanks. Look up yourself, look up the people you know, and tell me what I'm missing.

And, uh, thanks.

[And he reaches up to turn off the feed, one scarred hand visible for only a split second. He'll conduct further responses over audio instead.

Attacked to the image is a link, labeled Network User Census.
]



[OOC: Known errors in the census include incorrectly consolidating records for multiple versions of the same character (Rhys, for example), failure to consolidate characters listed on the obits under slightly different names (Margaret vs. Peggy Carter), possible double-listing of characters separately under screen name and real name when the two names aren't known to be linked, and the exclusion of characters who have not appeared on the obituary or in recent network posts. The spreadsheet has been generated and will continue to be updated with IC knowledge only, including errors.]
 
 
 
[Zach hasn't made a network post in a while. In over a month, actually. The last time, he'd looked happy, had been ridiculous with Steph, doing a reading of Norfinbury's finest literature.

Right now, he looks gaunt, terrified, and sad when he shows up on camera. His coat swallows him up, and he's all hunched shoulders, not really looking at the camera. His eyes are still strange looking, the Prophet eyes still plaguing him. There's nobody with him in the frame.

He rubs a hand over his face, sighing loudly, before looking up at the camera.]


So, if math is right and all, today - or yesterday, or tomorrow - is my birthday.

[He lets out a bitter chuckle.] Shoulda known that even my 21st would suck balls. Heyyyy, I can drink legally! I don't have anything to drink! Happy birthday to me!

[He holds a hand up in the air in a fake cheer, letting it drop back to his lap afterwards.]

'Nyway. [Time to change the subject. He's got nothing good to actually say or offer, he's been way too lost in his own shit to think of what to do to help out on how to get out.]

I've been thinking about trying to build my laser cannon back up, but I don't really know where to even start. What does one need to build a laser? Can anyone help?

[He's not actually looking hopeful in terms of getting an answer. He keeps on looking down at his hands like he's missing something, the back of them obviously scratched to bleeding. Someone is not at peak health, right now.]

[This is only the second time that Bucky has ever addressed the network as a whole, and he's just as reluctant this time as he was last time. It digs at the paranoia in his head, putting things about himself out there for just anyone to see, but after what happened last night... There's probably nobody better qualified to talk to the people who were prophet eyed, even if that wasn't him.]

Being controlled to kill makes it not your fault.

[That's a hard thing to accept, though. He knows, he really does.]

Separate your identity from the identity of whoever used your body last night. Recognise you can be dangerous and take precautions, but don't shut down. If you do, they win.

[He knows that he doesn't exactly spell out that he has experience in it, but this amount of implication is the best he can offer. And that's all he can say about it. He hangs up and goes to check on the people he is with in person.]

[House is exhausted, he's frustrated, he still feels betrayed by Ecks, he's no longer taking meds to stabilize his mood, and now he needs to ask for help. These are all things that would individually be a problem, together, they make him even more unpleasant to talk to than usual. But he's a pragmatic person when he needs to be, and they need help.]

1. review @donner's post for backstory

2. anyone in the eastern tunnels
if you found a ragdoll with an eye symbol
tell me where and how
and start heading for building 222 to put the doll(s) you have in the stands there
also look for more ragdolls
we have four that i'm aware of and one that can't be moved
we need 10, potentially


[He attaches a photo of one of the ragdolls in his possession.]

3. if you run into @ecks do not let her touch the ragdoll
she'll try to steal it


[A photo of Ecks is included.]

4. anyone near the entrance to the tunnels
inside or outside
go get food
we need to divide and conquer tasks here

5. i need details about the dreams people had a couple of months ago
stiffi has the cliff notes version here
i pulled up all of the details i could find publicly here
i don't care about summaries
i want specifics
even if you think something you heard isn't important we need to know
you might have a piece of the puzzle that no one else does
also need to know for anyone who talked to the people who aren't here anymore
if you can remember verbatim or exactly what happened
spell it all out
i don't care if it takes a while
we have the summary
we need to drill down
