Call Network | UN: Merlin

Hello!

[That's a good start, he thinks.]

I'm quite new here-- this is all quite fascinating. How many others are there here? What are your worlds like? I know those are rather broad questions, but I've never encountered people from other worlds before-- or at least, not friendly ones. Do you have magic where you're from? Is the technology anything like it is here? What--

[Breathe, Merlin. He cuts himself off with an apologetic little grin.]

Sorry. But it's exciting, isn't it! I'm in-- I think it's called Sorcery? But I'm going to be heading through all the bits of the city over the next few weeks-- or, at well, as much as I can, anyway, I'm manservant to a prince, I can't just disappear for ages, even he'd notice-- but when I'm here, anyway. Have any of you ever encountered devices like these? They're terribly convenient, I wish I could take it back home.

Oh! Sorry-- my name's Merlin!

cad | amicus.

Is it that no one here has anything to say or are you merely too afraid to speak? There is an important difference between hiding and working in the shadows.

So which is it?

call | basileus.

[If anyone has been brave enough to venture into the City of Nightmares, they might recognize that Dio is currently in The Corvid. Those that don't will at least recognize that he's in a nightclub of some kind and Dio appears to be both completely relaxed and having a good time. He has to talk over the music, but he makes it seem almost as though he's not raising his voice at all or, at the very least, only raising his voice just enough to be heard and not a decibel louder.]

I think perhaps this city's reputation is a little unfair in its oversimplification. [He pauses as a twentysomething woman is placing her hand in his and taking up a seat in his lap while also trying not to spill her drink. Before she can take her hand back, Dio kisses her knuckles and smiles at her. She's caught off-guard by the gesture for a brief moment but once she meets Dio's eyes, she breaks out into a wide grin and bubbly laughter. She settles in against Dio, taking her hand back to rest it against his chest.] As I was saying, I think there's more to this place than just danger.

[Dio brushes her hair out of the way, exposing her neck to the view of the camera. He runs sharp, black nails up and down along her neck until she shivers and starts to sit up again.]

I know some of you have been hesitant to travel here, [he says, his gaze slipping back to her. He runs his fingers through her hair before hooking a finger under her chin and tilting her face further up towards his.] But I think you'll find something worth your while.

[He leans down and kisses her, his fingers moving along her jaw and back down to her neck.]

((ooc: just as a brief note for those responding to the cad post, the username amicus is not associated with dio! he's using it specifically to hide his identity. while being a dick and calling other people out for hiding?? i don't know. he's a hypocrite.))

CALL Nerwork (Video, un: Speedy)

[The camera shows the area around McAran Tower and lands on a pale young woman covered in blood from what looks like a very nasty fight, the archery gear proves it. Thea Queen had seen the device and smashed the button out of panic as she was stabbed by Ra's Al Ghul which leads to her finally speaking.]

Got the basic crash course from the woman at the desk but anyone within a few blocks of here willing to let me bum their shower and maybe some clothes till I can get the blood out?

Sorry, forgot to add name Thea. Thea Queen.

[Don't blame her for the panic she's in at the moment, that and feeling like complete crap to boot.]

Has anyone seen a clockwork owl flying around? She answers to Aithne.
...Or should answer anyway.
If you have, please let me know.
And, you know. Maybe try to stop her from escaping again?
Thanks.

[A short moment passes before a second text arrives.]

Or if you want to contribute to science, stand near to her and take note of whatever may happen to your device. Any bit can be important.
Thanks again.

[ooc: Dave has brought a friend from the island trip! And he's working on connecting her to the devices. Feel free to make your character find her and, if they try the device experiment, they'll find on their screen whatever Aithne is seeing and/or hearing (like a picture/video of the characters themselves!).]

CALLnet | UN: toodark

So I got an idea to deal with that ghost thing in nightmare city, but to do it I need some strong people to come with me to commandeer some ghost traps from an evil crime organization with some serious fire power.

People who have stealth skills, who can tank energy blasts and blunt force weapons, and fire arms, those are the people who should come help me out.

Then we just give that tech to whoever is gonna go deal with the ghosts, and we do our part.

You're free to take anything else you want, they're badguys, you know.

[Private to Scott Lang]

And while they do that, we can go rob a bank in Cap Au Diable.

CALL (Video, un: DianaOfThemyscira)

Diana has set herself up in front of her CALL device so that it has a clear shot of her face, and most of her upper body. She's in the traditional tiara-and-W-Eagle-bustier she's known for. Behind her, a few melee weapons of Amazon make can be seen stored and displayed, as well as the helm for her "screaming eagle" suit of armour. Also: a pot of tea and some potted plants of various types.

"Hello, I thought perhaps introducing myself here and getting to know some others would be helpful. My name is Diana, and I am from an island called Themyscira, where I grew up among my Amazon sisters.

I've also come to be known in my home reality as Wonder Woman, a name I do my best to live up to as both an individual, and am Ambassador to Patriarch's World.

I will be upfront and say I possess abilities beyond the human norm. I won't list them, but you're free to ask if you're curious.

If anyone is in need of assistance of any kind, please ask, and I'll do what I can at no cost, if it's something I'm capable of. I intend to do my best to protect people here, both visitors and natives to this reality, as much as I do at home.

Those with... unkind intentions here can also take this as a warning, if you like."

Then she reaches to turn the camera off, and the recording ends.

You all saw that ReQuest, right? About the hotel?

You think it's some kind of gimmick? I mean... come on. People do that kind of thing all the time. Market their hotel as haunted, make up some weird stuff to make people want to visit it... Boom, lots of publicity if they can get a few people to go along with it.

Is anyone seriously thinking about going?

001 ♡ video (CALL)

[Frankly, Dio's not in the mood. Not that he's exactly a paragon of patience most days, but right here and now he doesn't have much patience to offer anyone or anything. Someone else might try to look at this on the bright side, of course. He's clearly not dead here, and there's nothing that absolutely rules out the possibility of him returning to right where he left off. Maybe some other time, when he's had time to put a little more distance between himself and where he left off, he'll think of that. But for right now? Right now, the bitter taste of defeat still lingers on the back of his tongue. Compounding his sour mood even further on that little fact is that he can't do anything about it right now.]

[But Dio is a skilled liar, if nothing else, and he does still possess a modicum of control over his temper that he doesn't throw a tantrum. To do so now would be far, far too costly now that he's found himself thrust into an unfamiliar situation. And he refuses to be caught off-guard right here and now, which means figuring out this...device. There really isn't anything exactly comparable in his world, but Dio's not an idiot. He can figure it out with little trial and error.]

Interesting. [He looks and sounds more pleased than he actually feels when the video feed begins, but it's unlikely anyone would be able to really question how genuine it is.] The technology here is impressive. In my day, there weren't many who would believe something like this is possible. I can only guess as to how clever the minds who dreamed this device in reality truly were and I'm sure this will prove useful moving forward.

[His smile increases only by a fraction, but it carries with it an enormous amount of warmth. Dio is here to play nice.]

For all of us.

[For now.]

[Of all the things that have happened to Giorno Giovanna in his young life — well. This isn't not weird, but it's also not the weirdest. He's still in his own body and no parts of his face are being sliced off, so honestly it's okay. That, and the fact that he's done a fair amount of recon already, plus the fact that anyone who comes after him is in for a nasty surprise, is what makes him look so aggressively serene when he addresses the network.]

[That, plus he just always looks like the offspring of Michelangelo's collected works and Italian fashion week. If he lays on the accent a little thick, it's probably not for nefarious reasons (but it might be) (at least a little nefarious).]

Ah, buonasera, hello everyone! I'm sure you are all very busy on a Friday night, but I wanted to at least say hello as a new arrival. I'm still trying to get a feel for everything at the moment [this is not true] but so far this place seems very . . .

[Say something Nice.]

Well-organized? [Lord.]

Mm, you can always reach me here, of course; I'm making my way through all of the different parts of the city, so if anyone needs anything, I'm happy to help! And then before I go, I wanted to ask: what are your favorite things about the parts of the city you are in? Or least favorite, I suppose, but let's at least start positively, please.

[Coming on screen is someone who clearly doesn't know how to use a camera, frame a shot, or even speak into one. It's as if he hadn't used a camera phone before, which is accurate. Very accurate. He turns his ears back and squints at it. Oh. It is working. Okay.

The kid, with clear animal features, looks pretty beat up. His clothes are ragged and torn and looks like he hasn't had a good brush through his fur in a while, let alone a proper bath or shower. He doesn't seem to mind too much about that though.]

Hi. Uuh.

I don't know what's goin' on around here, not quite. Not too big a' deal though cos' for far as I can tell it ain't terribly dangerous around here. Better than what I heard about Paragon anyway. Shining city of hope or dreams or whatever, right? Is that the story around here? Cos that's the vibe I'm getting.

Seein' as how going home won't do me any good, any chance anyone'll help me find a place to stay around here? This place is wacky, but pretty mild compared to most alternate realities I've ever heard of. I mean c'mon, for every good reality there's a hundred that suck.

So yeah. Kid lookin' for a place. Not sure if I want... Definitely sure I don't want adult supervision. No thanks.

Oh yeah. Name's Shadow, if you're wonderin' what to call me.

Signing out. [Fumbling with the phone, and blip. It's over.]

Okay, so the lady at the desk says that you're supposed to use this thing to talk to other people, right?

[ The camera sweeps around the foyer of the McAran Tower, stopping briefly on the receptionist's face before finally stopping on the face of the owner of the device. She's deathly skinny, with a pale yellowish tone to her skin that suggests malnutrition. Her hair hangs around her face like straw, unkempt and ragged. And she's only a teenager, a young one at that. ]

Hi. I'm Azula, I'm here because I'm a refugee from the unpleasant aftershocks of a hundred year long war finally ending. I'm broke, I'm homeless...I don't even have clothes or shoes.

[ She sweeps the device down her body. She's wearing a thin hospital gown that's covered in dirt in ways that suggest it's been worn for several months in a row, and she has a single house slipper on her foot, the other one had fallen off while she was trying to get a hold of the CALL device despite being restrained. Some kind person has removed said restraints, but the bruised abrasions where the shackles had originally gone are visible on her skin, some of them reddish with infection. ]

I'll...rebuild my dignity later, can someone buy me some clothes? And a cup of tea if you really want my undying gratitude.

Hi, I'm Scott!

There was a message for a ReQuest on the app the other day talking about some "Land of Brass" and I was wondering if any of you out there wanted to go see it? I got this guy named Clark (smallvilleguy on this... network? Is it called a network?) who agreed to team up with me, so that makes us two already.

Also I have no idea what crap'll be out there but it'll probably be MARGINALLY safer if people had other people watching their backs!

So would anyone want to go with me on one of the expedition trips? I'd like to go if I can find a partner; I don't get too many opportunities to travel where I'm from, so I think it could be kinda neat.

I know I'm just a kid, but I promise I can carry my own weight.

So the transport button definitely works. Holy crap. Did I hit the jackpot or what?

Looks like there's been activity on this thing, too. Are there actually other people out there? [It occurs to him suddenly: did Peter get one of these, too? He bristles at the thought and decides to pursue answers subtly. For once.] Actually, better question: what determines who gets one of these?

Good looks, right? ;)

Okay, but seriously. If you've got some answers, humor me, will you? I'm gonna go exploring.

[In Alfie's line of work, waking up to find a mysterious envelope on your bedside table is cause for deep suspicion. He'd scoured the room for anything out of place before he'd even considered opening it - and once he did discover the strange little electronic device, he'd spent a good hour learning how it works before he broadcasted anything. When he's finally ready to make his virtual presence known, he first chooses the open network.]

Right - I've got the worlds idea, yeah? And the aliens, City of Tomorrow - all that. I can read what you're all saying.

[That doesn't mean he necessarily believes it, but he at least doesn't need introductory explanations.]

There's just one thing I can't figure out. If I were to push this button here, 'transport' - what would happen? What are we meant to be transporting?

[Themselves, it sounds like. He'll go somewhere - he's gotten that much, from reading the comments - and it sounds like it'd be easy to return. But this is all completely unfamiliar territory to him, and he is going to be cautious.]

[CAD network]

[But he can't help but be curious about this second broadcasting channel - one that people don't seem to be chattering away on. A backup, maybe, in case the first goes down?]

Hello. Quiet, eh?

I've decided to give this 'honest work' thing a try. So far, so good; only had three people try to hypnotise me for free drinks.

Sooo... what are your first words to the multiverse supposed to be? Hi? Something deep? "It is hard to understand nothing, but the multiverse is full of it."

[Great first impression, Dave. Always so good at this socializing deal.]

...maybe I should stick to hi. I have lots of questions but half of them are like, is there an Earth with rainbow coffee? Is there is a version of New York without traffic jams?

[Wouldn't that be magical? Look, these are important questions, ok! ...ok, maybe not. Think, Stutler, there must be something worth to tell the network.]

Curiosity brought me here. All the new knowledge. Adventure too I guess? Is there any other reason to come?

[Because as much as he appreciates the opportunity he found in that device, it suddenly appearing one day is still kinda weird... Maybe he can start a better traveling plan with some opinions.]
