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?

[ She's used this thing enough now that she knows how it works quite easily, but she's never actually addressed the network as a whole, and it feels a little strange. After a few seconds of static where she tries to remember just what it was she had planned to say, she starts to speak. ]

Well, uh- Hello everyone? [ ...That is a pretty good place to start, yes. ]

So I'm sure everyone's noticed that it's starting to snow, and um. I can't be the only one who feels a little festive, right?

[ This is getting ridiculous now, obvious statements are obvious. Anna pauses briefly and shakes her head, huffing before continuing. ]

Anyway, I guess the point of this is because I know some of us have friends and family from home, but there are people here who are alone too, and I thought it might be nice if we all do something for each other while we're stuck in this place.

[ That? That is definitely rambling. She starts to speed up her words slightly, and while they're still clearly audible it's obvious she's somewhat regretting this spur of the moment decision. No one else is going to be interested, they don't even know what time of year it is, everyone has enough things to worry about.

She pushes on anyway, though. ]

Look, we used to do this thing at home a while back. Secret Santa? You just get given a name out of a hat and get them some kind of present, that's all it is, but you get to reveal at the end and I guess I just there might be people who are up for it. No one has to do it, obviously, but well. If anyone's interested just let me know, okay?

[ She coughs awkwardly, and there's another small static-filled pause before she adds: ]

Well, that's it. Bye. [ And then the feed cuts out. ]

It seems that someone has removed all of the food from the empty houses. Dire, given the fact that we're no longer getting new food. Luckily, I managed to spot them and I know where it is.

We need leadership, not a bunch of spies making decisions and I nominate myself. My name's Edgar Stane. I worked in security for years and I know how to keep all of us safe, not just my friends.

I've changed the locks on their stores and I'll be monitering the situation. If you want to find me or you need me to ration out food to you, I'll be taking up residence in the Town Hall.

reluctantsword

I have a favour to ask.

[Wallie gives the camera a slightly embarrassed smile.]

So I don't know who lived in this house before I did, but they weren't anywhere near my size. If anyone's got any cast-off clothes in their houses that might fit a really big guy, I'd appreciate it. If it gets much colder than it is, I'm going to be pretty miserable without at least a shirt I can button up.

[He considers.]

Pants might not be a bad idea, either.

could_be_dangerous

Have none of you lot managed to get murdered yet? Really, isolated community with few resources and no established legal system and none of you are even remotely psychopathic? Could nobody so much as pretend?

[It's just not decent, this many ostensibly remarkable people being this incredibly boring.]

Barring that, I don't suppose anyone happens to have found a violin? Or... anything of any remote interest at all?

wandandsickle

Hello! I am Jones, if we have not yet met; it's occurred to me that it might be wise to advertise some skills of mine in the event that some of you might be in need of them. In these kinds of strange situations we must all work together, yes?

If you require additional clothing or alterations made to clothes you already have, I am an experienced tailor and can make nearly anything you might want, although I will note in advance that the fabric choices here are somewhat limited. I can also effect repairs to most any of your belongings, should they be broken or damaged. I shan't ask for compensation, though donations of material would be much appreciated.

I live at #18, though please let me know in advance if you'd like to drop by, so I can be sure to be there!

pursuitofcappiness

[ This is an all-too familiar scene, where Steve can't remember a thing or why he's wearing these clothes. He supposes his first thoughts really shouldn't be about why people keep thinking it'll be more appropriate to the situation if they undress him.

The voice starts, and he's a little disappointed. Guess they've stopped trying to impress him.

He examines his watch, because it stands out like a sore thumb against his soldier's uniform. He turns on the video feed unknowingly, and it shows him turning away to look up at the ceiling where the voices seem to be coming from. ]

What year is it?

ellectric

Okay.

Who. The fuck. Is supposed to be refilling the chips around here?

Because I'm almost out of chips. So butler guy, Alfred or whatever, fix this shit. I want those chips!

[MATURITY. THERE IS NONE. Except in language?]

primogen_vampirate

[Exactly twenty four hours after her last disaster of a post, Mina's back on the system.]

I'll spare everyone any speeches about "no good deed goes unpunished" or "if you can't do a job right, don't do it at all."

Effective immediately, I shall be resigning from my position at the clinic. I leave you in Doctor Banner's very capable hands.

[Locked to Carter and Coulson]

I tried, darlings. I really did. I will, of course, still happily lend my hand to any matters of the supernatural you face.

God help anyone in this place who ever needs a blood transfusion.

[Locked to Castiel and Gabriel]

I'll thank you gentlemen to keep the rest of the representatives of your world the hell away from me. I took a goddam bullet for you, Castiel. And this is the thanks I get. Disrespected and all but announced to the entire world as a vampire by a gaggle of oversexed alpha males.

indiscreet

[ This is her first time posting with her communicator wholly on her own, and for a moment the feed statics, then flashes to a blurred image of a face— ] damned contraptions [ —before switching properly to the AUDIO setting. ]

Ah— good evening. I suppose it is becoming increasingly apparent to all of us that we're either stuck here or else need to begin acting as though we are. [ Her voice is young and pretty-sounding, the accent mostly American but subtly tinged with Russian. ] As such, I was wondering if anyone might have...well, weaponry. Specifically, weaponry I might be able to call my own. I know my way around a bow, so that would be my preference, but beggars can't be choosers.

I can't precisely offer payment, but I can promise to shoot various beasties of the edible or dangerous kind.

PRIVATE to Mina Barrett
The dire wolf population seems to be thinning. For the kine that's a good thing, but for me...

Mina, I don't know how you're doing it, but I need a source of blood, and between the two of us — hell, even with one of us — it won't be long before we make everyone here anemic, or worse. I can keep trying to hunt animals, but I can't catch them without the Huntress's abilities. So, unless you have any better ideas, it seems like the lesser of two evils.

beenunmade

[ Video flickers on and Clint's sitting on top of his house, fiddling with his bow as he contemplates quite a few things right now. Mostly that this place fucking sucked and Nat was gone. Both of them were. Despite Phil still being there...Nat was the third member of their fearsome trio. Fearsome duo just didn't really have the same ring to it as he sets the bow on his lap. ]

Can anyone fuckin' tell me how Loki for Tasha is a fair trade? Cos I ain't seein' it. She wouldn't just up 'n leave so it's gotta be somethin' else. Does anyone remember any videos of either of 'em bein' nabbed or somethin'? [ He fiddles a little with her SHIELD identification card that he found left behind in her room. There were also a couple knives that he'd made sure to pocket. ]

[ Private to Loki ]

I need target practice...stand ground level from my house. You can run in zig-zags if it'll make you feel more comfortable.

theshield_agent

This is Phil Coulson. In an effort to keep organized and assess the situation, I'd like to try to get a rundown of everyone here. If I could get everyone to check in with me and let me know what sort of skills they might have, I would really appreciate that. Anything from medical knowledge to combat to cooking or carpentry could be useful and I would love some help with all this clerical stuff.

I'll be in the general store taking inventory if you prefer that to these communicators.

((ooc note: He is compiling a list that will be shown to other characters.))

greenisnteasy

Hi. My name's Bruce Banner. I'm a doctor and a scientist. Not to flood everyone with information or to alarm anyone, I feel like I need to say a few things.

If you could gather up the medicine you find in your house and bring it to the pharmacy in the middle of the town, that'd be appreciated. You're welcome to keep a small supply of your typical things, like aspirin, but it'd be a good idea to centralize everything else.

Clearly whoever was living here left in a hurry. Keep an eye on yourselves for signs of illness, including radiation sickness, in case there was a biological reason for the evacuation. Nausea and vomiting are going to be your first indicators that something could be wrong radiation-wise.

I could make a Geiger counter or something similar to test the radiation levels, but I need some electronic parts, and I can't seem to find any except for these cameras. And I don't really recommend taking those apart unless you like getting electrocuted and blacking out.

[That had been fun, and by fun he means he was incredibly grateful that he hadn't Hulked out.]

If you find any parts that don't give you a shocking experience, could we share?

Um... Keep calm and carry on. [But no really, he hopes they can avoid some The Monsters are Due on Maple Street style panic.]

goodluckkobra

Hey, guys, just a quick FYI... Yesterday, I smashed the camera in my room with a chair. Today? Totally fixed camera. Kinda creepy, because I'm a pretty light sleeper and I didn't hear anything last night. Maybe... Lydia! Hey, Lydia!

[He shrugs.]

I think she's sleeping.

Oh, and catching seafood with your bare hands? [The camera shakes around as he mimes with his hands.] Not as easy as the movies make it look. So if anyone knows how to like... fish or catch lobsters or whatever, you should give them to Kurt so that me and Kenzi can eat them. Also, I recommend being a good swimmer, which I am really not. Apparently.

Uhhh... Kobra out.

wandandsickle

[A woman's voice, subtly lyrical, and with a faint Eastern-European accent (Russian, if your ear is very good), comes from offscreen.]

—and after everything we'd done for her, that I had done for her! The [Russian expletive]. And now everyone's gone and God what have we—

...Jones...what are you doing.

[A woman's voice, also with a light Eastern-European accent—Lithuanian, if you're getting specific; the communicator probably belongs to her, and is tilted away from her face so all you can see is the black fabric of her dress.]

Ah, I think I've figured out what it is supposed to do—see, it is sort of like Dr. Brown's portable telephone, except you can see people's faces, yes? ...and also it is on your wrist, I suppose.

Well, what are you doing with it? Are you doing something with it? Is it on?

I thiiiiink...

[A finger taps the screen a couple times.]

Er, I think it might be broadcasting right now...

Broadcasting? Who in God's name would it be broadcasting to? Is mine on? I've tried not to touch it...

That is a very good question... Oh, I think yours is off, Anna. But, ah... hello? Is anyone there?
