[Some of the network probably remember this particular 'concrete Brutalist nightmare of an apartment' backdrop, not to mention the room full of plants. The plants are lush. They are verdant. They are... terrified?

That part is probably not the doing of the petite young(?) woman(?) sitting on the floor in front of them, but it's true nonetheless, poor things.]

Alastor? Are you still here?

I have some of those movies you asked for. And I think, if I can get this-- infernal laptop to interface with the BadgerNet device, I can pass them along. [At 'infernal,' a reflexive smile crosses her face, as though she finds it funny.]

If not, well, hello again, everyone.

[A loud boom is heard from Helena's lab and she emerges covered in soot. A male voice comes soon after,"Another explosion Miss Stark?" "Another explosion Mr. Jarvis but I'm fine, only singed."

That is when she sees the camera rolling.]

Oh dear....

This is impossible and I did not invent it!

[OOC note: Edwin Jarvis as played by James D'Arcy will be making NPC cameos as needed.]

TWHOCK! TWHOCK! TWHOCK! TWHOCK! TWHANNNGG!

[The sounds are heard before the video kicks on. It sounds like a tennis ball hitting a wall... and then hitting metal.]

Oh come on! How many of these bucking things are there?!

[The video comes on and it looks like it's being filmed from a device propped up on a wooden surface of some sort. There is a blue unicorn wearing a set of what looks like dark blue canvas booties, who's using a levitating frying pan and a shimmering shield of transparent magic in a dome like shape to defend against what look like winged, multicolored, ping pong ball sized critters.]

Twhannng! TWHOCK! TWHOCK! TWHOCK!

[She sends one flying back with a pan, while the others pelt the dome with their bodies and get sent flying on the rebound.]

I HATE Parasprites!

[Trixie notes the blinking light on her scroll and out of sheer desperation asks]

I don't know who this is sending to... but... TWHANNGGGG! Does anyone know how to get rid of a plague of fire proof insects?

(Ooc Edit: Trixie will get out of this without BadgerNet help, but if anyone is interested in a message with the aftermath just let me know?)

[Michael tosses the butterfly plush on to a twin size bed and sits on the edge of it. The room is so silent that you can hear the faint whir of the camera drone as he talks.]

[He's still wearing his welding leathers and comeaux, and he pulls that away, and tosses it aside, letting his hair fall to his shoulders. He sits up to look at the camera, but the facade fades. He slumps into his legs.]

So. Welding finished on the company's latest, and the inspector signed off. I've been working six tens for... a while now, but until the company gets a new contract or they want me on brazing work, I'm done, and considering I've got enough for a while, I'm going to stay done. Get some college back in me.

By the way, fuck anyone who thinks working six tens is ok. That shit will kill you and your buddies. I'll be honest I'd quit if I had another job lined up.

All that money and nothing to spend it on since all you want to do is sleep.

[They let out a tired, sick laugh.]

As if that couldn't describe me all over. No, that's just the exhaustion talking, yer fine, man.

Listen, I'm. Gonna take care of myself for a few minutes, ask me anything about my job in the meantime. I won't mention the company or my co-workers by name, but I'll tell you anything else you want to know about being a certified welder, I'll answer when I get out.

[So.

The camera picks up an idyllic looking sandy Mediterranean beach, near a patch of grass and forest. It shakes a fair bit, like a cell phone cam in an unsteady - or nervous - hand.]

This is... this is uh. Deedee. ...'s player. Don't... if you know my real name from before the Badgernet crash don't throw it around.

I uh.

I'm on the fucking Shores of Awakening. I'm on fucking Mundus.

And taller and y'all hear how high my voice is. I can feel my tails.

I woke up alone face-down on the sand here. Felt it burn. I uh.

Please advise.

We at BadgerNet wish to give our apologies for the nasty network desynch we just had! We're working on fully stabilizing our operations. Turns out staying connected to multiple different universes is really hard, for many technical reasons.

In celebration of our re-connection, we're going to post a montage of baby badgers.

[Embedded is a video of various cute baby badger antics.]

Also, everyone who replies to this post will win a special "We're Sorry So We're Giving You Nice Things" prize, determined by BadgerNet.Prize!

[Hey, it's that concrete Brutalist nightmare full of terrified houseplants again. Unlike last time, Neriel doesn't seem to be aware that she's broadcasting to the network; her attention is focused on the laptop in front of her, as well as several sheets of paper in her hands.]

...What exactly is a floyd, and why does it matter so much that this one is pink? [The sheets of paper have no answer for her. She shrugs, and types a few words on the laptop. Then she presses a button, and anyone in her unintentional audience familiar with a certain stripe of Earth music may know she's in trouble as soon as the song begins.

Neriel doesn't know that, though. What she knows is that the very beginning is mildly confusing, the instrumental buildup is pleasant enough, and that smoker's cough that mars it is professionally concerning (hopefully the human is sorting that out). And then the first line hits home, and she jerks back like someone's slapped her.

By the end of the second verse, she's crying.

She plays it again.

This goes on for a while, until, several repeats in, there's the sound of a door opening somewhere else in the flat and a distant "Oi, Lantern, how's-- ah."

Shortly after, she's joined in the frame by a lanky beanpole of a middle-aged man - or, well, given that Neriel is herself an angel, presumably he's neither of those last two things. He's dressed all in black, including a pair of dark sunglasses, and he has very bright red hair. He settles down to Neriel's left and puts an arm around her, and when the song finishes, he's the one to stop the playback.

He also glares at the Badgernet device until it stops recording.]

***

[Later that same day:]

It's very rude of this thing to just switch itself on like that.

In any case, Earth music remains endlessly fascinating, and now I have to figure out how to explain this network to Crowley. But so long as I'm here, do any of you know what a floyd is?

so uhhhh poll
1: if you're in a country/world/etc where new year's isn't today, do new year's dreams still count for telling whether your year is going to be good or not
2: if so, what does this dream mean: everything being on fire + then going to an island + then finding out it's alive + suddenly the whole plot of goldeneye
i mean i know for sure none of the 3 lucky things were in it but overall idk
3: if i make a post today does it count as sending new year's postcards bc it's not like i can do that for actual, everyone i know here lives in the same place as me anyway. and new year's here when they have it is totally different
no variety shows or idols bc no one's invented tv
no games and stuff
everyone's bday is new year's officially (and for cami-nee it actually is which is super cool) (cami-nee don't get mad that's public knowledge right???)
you don't get MONEY
i did make everyone lunchboxes and mochi though but i'm p sure they're all just going "oh that momo with her weird stuff" even though it turned out pretty well! though we didn't have oranges so i just used what we have
(NOT PICKLED HERRING I PROMISE I LEARNED FROM THE ONIGIRI)
(i did put pickled herring in the lunchboxes though but those are supposed to have fish)
(but no oranges in anything)
so uh 4: do you think that was a good effort at having new year's or is it just weird

[Neriel's still holed up in the concrete room with the terrified plants, but there are two things that indicate the fact that she has in fact left since her last post. First is a sleek black laptop on the floor in front of her; the case has an apple logo on it, not to be confused with an Apple logo.

Second: the laptop is playing music.]

None of you mentioned the music was so good. [Someone please ask what her frame of reference for Earth music was before this. She's already been accused of living under a rock for it.]

I'm still trying to track down the song that caught my attention at first - I have the right person, but the humans who helped me couldn't remember the song's name and there are apparently over a hundred to choose from. But I have time, and I haven't found anything I don't like yet.

Aziraphale was a great help with what he calls classical music, and Crowley seems to think that his vehicle will introduce me to Queen if I'm here long enough. Otherwise, I'm open to suggestions, if anyone has them.

[Surolam is sitting quite formally in front of her device, a slight frown on her face.]

Greetings. I apologize for the lack of contact recently, but both my and Luca's devices have been, as they put it, "on the fritz." And his has lost the connection to Badgernet completely as well. He's currently working on regaining it, but for now any messages you might have for him will require my device to be passed on.

Did I miss anything?

Gonna try something tonight. If it works you'll get an interesting video. If it doesn't, you won't.

[Several hours later, as promised, Shinji's camera turns on - in the dead of night, outside a pretty normal-looking high school. For five minutes or so, nothing much happens, not even the sound of cars on the road.

Then what light is available in the video shifts, taking on a greenish cast. The video is interrupted by static, occasionally, but is still clear enough to show off the main event. With an ungodly amount of noise (mainly heavy rumbling, but there's a lot of metal-on-metal scraping and more than one sound of glass breaking), that normal-looking high school telescopes upward into a giant hodgepodge of a tower.

"Still don't know how that doesn't fuck up the school," Shinji mutters, before turning off the video and putting the Badgerthing away. He doesn't respond to anything until he's back in the dorm, and that's via text.]

Huh. That worked. Good to know.

(OOC: OH RIGHT. Sound on the video's not relevant, and the video itself isn't important past about 1:15.)

[Momo's set the mirror "camera" up on a shelf in a kitchen that... well, it looks like one you'd find in an isekai setting: some implements are accurately medieval, others wouldn't have been invented yet. This is another world, after all, and the main takeaway is that it doesn't look modern. She steps back and waves.]

Hey! So since Azra-nee and Cami-nee were having trouble with accidental posts, I figured what might make the algorithm or whatever runs this place happy is something fun! And, you know, intentional. 'Cause you know, content creation's a whole thing on Earth. Buuuuuuuut I can't draw, we don't have video games here, and I don't get nearly enough allowance to do those "I bought one of every whatever-thing in the store" videos. They don't even make chips here, much less pickled plum or cheese-on-cheese flavour.

Buuuuuuut. [She snaps her fingers to point at the camera and gestures to ingredients on the counter.] What I do have is... kitchen access! I mean, I kinda borrowed some rice flour from Taro-jiisan's cafe, too. Because what I'm gonna show you in Cooking With Momo-chan is... [Momo makes a drumroll by hitting two spoons against the counter.] How to adapt food you might've seen in other worlds, even if you live in a world like Iden!

...Guys, don't worry. I totally learned from that one time with the pickled herring.

( recipe below )

No one's invented modern ovens either. So now we gotta wait for the next step. How have you guys been?

[See this? It's Marla, sipping down a beer while she stares into the camera.]

What's up, sluts?

Alright, I'm gonna propose we try to play a game here. It's called "Never Have I Ever" and I'm assuming you guys have heard of it, but if not, you just say something you've never done, and if anyone here HAS done it, ya drink.

And then you say something YOU'VE never done.

I'm gonna start! So um:

Never have I ever been arrested?

[The image being picked up in the video blurs and shifts until the camera focuses on an incredibly baffled looking Miqo'te. Q'uila's purple fur is mussed and coated in dirt and ash and the end of her braid looks slightly singed.]

Oh! This was not what I meant to press, I almost forgot that this was on here...

[There is a loud roar out of sight, Q'uila's ears flicking to the side before she ducks down with the camera, the colour brightening as a plume of fire shoots over her. She laughs sheepishly, unbothered by the fire.]

My apologies for the noise, I am currently corralling dragons but they are being less cooperative than usual.

[To emphasise her point there is another roar and a dull explosion followed by some indistinct shouting]

I feel like I missed a lot, what has been going on whilst I was travelling?

[ It's been a while since Azra poked the magic book linked to the BadgerNet, which means the BadgerNet isn't playing nice.

And so there's a video feed on a post under Azraxe, Azra's username. The video is shown as if whatever is recording is set on a table, showing off a... well, it's a cafe. It's set up somewhat like a modern one, but the architecture and materials are all not modern. The sound coming through are mostly... cat noises, and the reason why are the many cats loitering around the area.

It's a cat cafe.

In the background, you might see an elderly Japanese man working behind the counter, but then Azra kind of blocks the view as she comes into frame. It's the first time anybody from the Net's seen her. And she is, in fact, a catgirl. One with short hair, and a very prominent, somewhat jagged scar running down her face.

She pauses as she sees the book. She peers forward. ]

When did this get here...?

[ She pauses, a cat ear twitching, and then she adjusts her hair a bit. ]

I wonder why there's a mirror on this book. What purpose does that have...? The Invaders are pretty vain, but these people are supposed to be different.

[ Almost in response, there's a meow. A calico cat walks into frame, brushing up against the hand Azra's placed on the table. ]

I guess you wouldn't know, huh?

[ Somebody tell the poor girl this is recording. ]

Sooo the weirdness of last month aside, hello gamers it's yaboi Jake with some good news.

Turns out that setting up the interdimensional API for Another World Online should actually be pretty easy - Badgernet itself has resources for it, so we'll be piggybacking off of Chimera server and getting proper VR pheripherals for it soonish.

In combination with the livestream going, uh, live this weekend, that means that I'm ready to field questions about how to play and things to do in Mundus!

Hi, I play a punchwizard vixen in a massively multiplayer roleplaying game that's about to go interdimensional, AMA!

[It's another video from that strange blank world with buildings in it… And if you squint, maybe you'll see some of the weird steampunk things from the other video in the window of one of the buildings… and… is that a cave somewhere in the background?

Anyway, a guy in a creeper hoodie takes a moment to adjust the settings as a purple-haired woman with dragon horns brushes her hair out of her face, looking quite embarrassed.]

Almost… There! Got it. [The guy steps back and awkwardly clears his throat.] Good… Afternoon, Badgernet. It has come to my attention that we've posted a rather… Strange video… While we were under the influence of that technical hiccup. We apologize for any confusion we may have caused, and I strongly assure you that is not how we usually act at all… Right? [He turns to the woman for a second.]

[She nods.] Indeed it is not. I have heard that several of you were affected as well, though perhaps not to such an extent mentally. [She rubs her forehead.]

I do love Luca dearly, but I certainly do not condone those things I said under the influence. [She moves forward a bit to nuzzle her cheek against his.]

Ah heh… [Luca blushes a little as he's being nuzzled. Poor guy looks like he may never get used to the random acts of affection.] Likewise, I don't have any intention of bringing ruin to an institution that does not exist… Though the fact that I remember the whole thing clearly must mean that's finally healing somehow… [He mumbles to himself…] Wait, Surolam, did I already introduce myself before that whole mess?

I don’t think so. You did kind of go straight to talking about the “experiment” you were working on. [She pulls away slightly, though her arm remains around his shoulder.]

Ah… Right, I was trying to speak with the badgers myself… [He reaches to rub his neck and feels her arm there… Then he just… Pats the arm and smiles at her.] Anyway, my name is Luca Balsa. I understand my lover has spoken highly of me on this website before… I will admit, I'm not entirely sure how she managed to find this site before me, but I have offered to help improve it before… Well, you know. The offer still stands, by the way. If anyone is having technical difficulties with the site and can't contact the administrators, feel free to ask me about it.

[Surolam nods proudly.] You should certainly put your faith in him. He’s quite the genius in that regard.

[That earns her a grin from Luca.] Thank you, love!
