Hi.

[ She smiles. ]

For anyone I haven't met, my name is Ruby and I'm the leader of the hunting club. I'd love if we could get everyone together this afternoon in the park to touch base on where we are with the meat supply. Anyone who's interested in helping is welcome to join us and we can try to get you a buddy who can teach you some basics.

Oh! And if anyone wants to learn how to cook the animals we're most likely to catch, I'd be happy to give some cooking lessons, so just get in touch with me.

I see a lot of you kind people have been signing up for extracurriculars. Scouting, hunting, washing the dishes, all that sort of thing. Buuuuuut, I couldn't help noticing a bit of a gap in these activities, which I brought to the attention of our fearless leader and got his permission to fill! Sort of. Our little town is so lucky to have such a devoted mayor. Three cheers for ol' what's-his-face, et cetera.

[It's almost all true. The permission bit isn't, predictably, but the guy hadn't forbidden it. Not in as many words, at least... and not that that would stop Gabriel.]

So, uh, anyone willing to make the ultimate sacrifice and join me in testing the safety of the chocolate, alcohol and bedsprings, possibly all at the same time... sign up here. I know, I know -- I'm not saying it'll be easy. Hells, I'm not even saying any of us'll make it out alive. But those of you prepared to give your all in the service of your gilded cage and your fellow vacationers, you'll be doing the right thing. You'll be remembered as heroes.

[Needless to say, he's bored. Somebody entertain him before he takes up serial murder again...]

I knew I had a power. I knew it. You should've seen the freaks back home who got super powers. There was no way I stayed normal and losers like that didn't.

[He manages to pause for brief moment, but if you're worried about being kept in the dark, don't be. Nathan is feeling particularly smug and has no plans to keep anyone in suspense over his new discovery. He looks as though he might burst if he keeps his mouth shut any longer than he does, although it's probably in everyone else's worst interests that he doesn't.]

Well, guess what. I'm immortal. So, in sixty years time when you're all sitting around in care homes waiting to be put out of your misery? I'm still going to be young and beautiful, making a shit load of money shooting myself in the face and jumping of buildings. Barely legal girls are going to be swarming all around me.

I hope you're all jealous. Or horny. Although that last one's only acceptable if you're both female and attractive. With a power like this I really don't see myself needing to be that fussy.

disbar

[ The feed comes to life revealing a startling amount of forehead topped with a carefully styled bedhead. Entranced yet? Wait till you see the face that comes with it. ]

Oh, now it's working. [ The video stops shaking and quaking to focus on the face, which appears very disgruntled as it peers at the device. ] So, who am I blaming first for this situation that makes absolutely no sense whatsoever? I'll go ahead and say Abed, because Troy? Yeah, Troy gets it. [ What 'it' is, we may never know. ]

So I'm going to count to three, and one of you better jump out with the key to end this whole shtick. [ He makes another face, this one more out of distaste. ] But while we're focusing on certain things, you could have at least chosen something out of your cereal box that was a little less tacky to put around my wrist.

[ He's not actually counting to three, because one: he's not their father, and two: erm, lame. ]

violenthearted

[ Good morning, ~~Losties~~ Kore....ites, or whatever you are, please accept a video, featuring Erik's ever-present displeasure with his communicator. He has figured out how to work it by now, but this does not mean he likes it any better. B| Behind him, in the slices provided by the small screen, appears to be a kitchen, because that is exactly where he is. God forbid he sit in the living room or anywhere like, comfortable. So kitchen table it is. Charles is probably around somewhere, puttering, being British, but for the moment Erik appears to be alone.

And he has questions. Many questions.]

For those of you who failed to witness the catastrophe that was my arrival here, I'm Erik Lehnsherr. If that name means nothing to you, so much the better. If you think you have some idea of who I am - and I have come across those who do - let me state again for the record that I continue not to be a doctor of any kind, nor do I have any interest in adopting a moniker invented by bored adolescents.

That said. I'm looking for information on what appears to be an ever dwindling food supply. I understand you are provided with sustenance from the sky, but frankly I'm suspicious of quail. At best.

[It's a joke, see, because wandering forty years in the desert and bitching about manna and stuff--never mind.]

Has anyone looked into what might be done on our own terms? Anyone hunting, fishing, looking into the feasibility of farming? If someone's already taken that task on what I can only assume to be very level shoulders, I'd like to meet you. And if not, I'd like to be that person. Not - [he shrugs, loosely] that you're obliged to put your faith in a stranger. But I dislike idle hands, particularly when they're mine.

(ooc: this is forward-dated to the morning of day 48, in case that was not clear. :3 all replies will be video.)

enchangement

[ The shot opens with two small toy dinosaurs, standing facing each other on the railing of a wooden bridge.

A young woman's voice begins talking: ]

We've played this game before. We are veterans in the sport.

Perhaps it was an oversight to bring a professional lab rat to a new lab. Perhaps she broke their teeth before they put her down she can't remember.

There's something in the water.

[ The camera angle shifts - here is a face full of an older teenage girl, long hair damp and brow furrowed. She seems to understand that this is recording, peering at the communicator intently before waving her arm wildly in a futile attempt to shake it off.

Quietly: ]

So what is the difference between a sport and a game? Hunting labrats is fun for the ones holding the gun, pull the trigger if you're ruthless, put down the broken specimens, they're just dragging down the standard deviation isn't that it?

Keep them fighting keep them starving keep them sleeping keep them kept.

[ She sighs and rubs a hand over her face. ] We are not a fan of these particular sports. Lab rats can still chew through the ropes, the wires, the bones.

Just give us time.

Just...

[ Her voice cracks at this point and there's a small sob snuffled in there, but the girl regains her composure fairly quickly. ]

Be polite, River. Say hello.

Hello.

brittanator

[The feed kicks in with Britta staring, her head bobbing up and down as if she's confused by the device on her wrist.] I know retro is in, but- [Wait. Is it on?] Oh! It's on!

Hey, Troy and Abed. This? Not funny. Which way is Greendale?

... How'd you get the money to do all this, anyway?

Hi. My name's Ruby.

I know some people are worried about food, but a lot of these kitchens have stocked spice racks and there are plenty of animals. I promise I can make them taste a little more familiar. There are some of plants in the woods that are edible, too.

If anyone's having a problem making due or they have things that they're not sure what to do with, I'd be happy to share.

[ Private to Mina and Kenzi ]

Now, I know I promised you ladies a warm meal.

redripoff

Is this on?

[It is, and giving a nice shot of a wide-eyed little guy bundled up and sitting outside by the fountain. He watches the camera, but occasionally (just occasionally) takes a skittery look out to the side.] Hey, I--uh, hello.

Has anyone started catalogueing the wildlife around here? I mean--beyond robot bears. Natural wildlife: deer, rabbits, regular bears--uh, birds? Owls, maybe?

rigging

[ The video starts off with Jesse rubbing at his face with the hand not attached to a communicator. He looks sort of worn down, but at least he's not covered in blood! That's nice. When he's finished with that, he wrinkles his nose. ]

So, that whole escape thing was a bad idea. I hope nobody, uh... died. [ Wow, sensitive. ] I'm okay, for anybody who was wondering, which you probably weren't, cause I know maybe three or four of you, but. I got a question, anyway:

Anybody got any cigarettes? Or, y'know... food, that you ain't eating, but cigarettes're more important.

[Have Mina's lazy drawl. She sounds a little more tired than she wants to admit, but what can you do?]

I don't know how you people are figuring the calendar around here, but if you seem to believe that Christmas has come and gone, I reckon the same can be said for the Winter Solstice at this point.

To any of you who were not aware, I am a pagan and my people have certain rituals that are performed around this time. I intend to carry out one such ritual. Any of the ladies of the village who wish to attend are welcome to do so.

[She pauses.]

This is, perhaps, the one thing in my life I actually attempt to take seriously. If it is not something that aligns with your morality, I understand that. But I would appreciate it if no one mocked this.

greenisnteasy

Update on the mysterious packages. Sherlock and I did some science, and we figured out that for the ones that made people go blind and mute -- those were the only samples we got -- there was some kind of toxin on the items inside. It penetrates the skin very easily, but its toxicity window is small after being exposed, so there weren't any secondary infections from the same box. Unfortunately, I can't say much more than that, unless anyone opens a package and finds a fully stocked lab.

Probably you've already been able to guess as much, but here's the kicker. I have a box here that controlled someone's mind, altered their behavior, and made them obsessed with someone else. That toxin isn't present in this box. As far as I can tell, there's nothing wrong with this very lovely sweater featuring a moose and a tree.

I'm out of science to do here, so I'm wondering... Some of you guys out there know a thing or two about... magic, for lack of a better word, right?

Any takers?

plaidsamurai

[Logan looks a little rougher around the edges than usual and it's pretty obvious he hasn't gotten much sleep lately.]

Hope no one waited up for me at that party. I was busy. 'Course I was s'posed to give something to you, Carter, I'm just full of disappointments lately, 'specially for you. Maybe I'll be able to make it up to you. [He seems pretty distracted, rambling a bit as he thinks about what he needs to actually say.]

I got a real important question for everyone. Has anyone seen a girl, black hair, lil' shorter than me, kinda talks like a robot- not like a digital voice thing, just all proper and, um, mechanical. Claws come out of her hands and feet if that helps any. Goes by Laura. She's missing and I've run into some issues, but I gotta find her.

Any help would be appreciated.
