[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.

[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!

[ Good morning, Badgernet! Should you click on this video, you shall be greeted by a room full of steampunk zappy things. The man standing in the middle of it all regards his audience with a slightly unhinged grin. ]

I've done it! I've finally done it! [ He grabs a nearby jar full of electrified blue liquid and what looks like a handful of copper coins. ] And they mocked me for thinking it could be done... You all are to witness the marvelous union of alchemy and science!

[ Here he tosses the coins into the jar, amplifies the electrical current and--

BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP.

The whole scene glitches out. The man freezes between one and two frames like a lagging frame, abruptly turning into a more disoriented version of himself for a split second before the screen goes black. A string of numbers pops up in one corner... ]

01101000 01100101 01101100 01110000 01101101 01100101 01101001 01101101 01110011 01110100 01110101 01100011 01101011

[ And they linger there as the scene returns to normal, almost exactly where we left off... Except... Well, even the mad scientist is staring at the empty jar in bewilderment. ]

... Huh. Those were supposed to turn to gold, not vaporize.

No matter! [ He sets the jar on a nearby table next to a pile of gilded coins that were not there before the glitch. ] I'm sure I'll figure it out with a few more experiments...

[The post is written in a flowing cursive, unlike the normal computer text. The penmanship is impeccable, though the stray ink blot implies use of more traditional implements, like a quill pen, over any modern tools.]

Good day, and I hope this missive finds you well. I am Princess Camiel, heir apparent to the throne of Sengeis, founder and commander of the Invader Defense Force, Thane of Kiladdak-ah-Hahdax, voice of the gods, and protector of the elementals. I am writing in my official capacity in these titles, so that I may impress the importance of my words upon you. I and my people seek to remove the influence of other worlds from our own, as their one-sided invasion is no less than an act of war, an attempt to erode at Sengeis' own laws and rules. As such, I request the immediate removal of your activities from the world of Iden. The presence of this magic is not desired, nor welcomed. Remove this presence from Iden, else this shall be taken as an act of hostility against the world and kingdom of Sengeis, and responded to with the appropriate measures. Sengeis, and Iden's, only desire is to be left to ourselves. We desire not the influence of other worlds. Our affairs are our own. We will show no mercy to invaders.

[ Badgernet's video function is broken in today by a disconcertingly close-up pair of blue eyes and a muffled: ]

- oh, blast -

[ Some fiddling and repositioning later, the eyes are revealed to belong to a boy no older than eleven, wearing an unusually green suit and an expression of astonishment. ]

I say, this really is a marvelous little device, isn't it? Right, then:

[ He straightens up to his full height of... not very tall, rearranging his face into a practiced superciliousness. ]

It's all well and good to go around claiming to be angels and devils and what have you, but clearly this gadget's more than just an elaborate typewriter, isn't it? I suggest you all show yourselves! Look, I've done so first, as a gesture of goodwill.

[ And definitely not because he hit the video button by accident while snooping! Luckily(?), internet stranger danger isn't a concept in his time yet, so he continues: ]

And shall we take a roll call while we're at it? You may call me Valmont, and at present I am located in San Francisco, in the year 1976 A.D. Are all of you people really from the future - ?

Who are you talking to, sweetie?

Oh, double blast -

[ A hasty rearranging of the camera view, and a brief close-up of the inside of an expensive suit pocket, before the feed turns off. ]

[As alarming as it is that this device was delivered to Neriel's work space in the infirmary without drawing any attention... she thinks it may be useful. Especially now that matters are, well, arguably deteriorating further, even with Armageddon grinding to an unexpected halt.]

Can anyone tell me more about Earth? It looks like I'll need to make a planetside visit soon to get to the bottom of something, and our official records are... pretty vague. Comes of most angels not wanting to set foot on the place, I'm sure.

If it helps, we're 6022 years past the Creation of Earth, close to 6023. I believe the prevailing human calendar is at or near 2020? [It's near, not at, but that's never been a relevant calendar to Neriel's interests.]

Welcome to the grand opening of the Multiversal edition of Badgernet! Hopefully you can see this, going multiversal turned out to be surprisingly tricky! Assuming all goes well, you should be able to reply to this and make new posts. You should've also gotten the welcome message. If not, well, you probably won't be able to contact us so we'll be keeping an eye on things and immediately getting on fixing problems as they appear. As such, we'll be too busy to respond to comments on this post. Apologies!

[Insert a gif of an animated badger opening a champagne bottle while confetti falls everywhere.]
