[The video is certainly not being held correctly, catching the floor instead of G'winveer at all. She can't read or write so even getting that far had been a feat.]

What is this place? Who did this?

[Was she kidnapped by the oil company? It all seemed quite elaborate but as someone who had never left Shay mountain and saw modern society this was all rather overwhelming.]

How do I get home?

[Though, she's smart enough to know that there's probably no easy answer to that.]

amery

[He hadn't listened. The attempted explanation? He hadn't listened very well. Everything was new and strange and he didn't like any of it one bit. He'd almost thought, when he'd first opened his eyes and pulled his goggles down around his neck, that he'd woken up in the Airmen showers. But the bathroom was unfamiliar (and now smeared with soot here and there).

He couldn't shake the feeling of vertigo that kept hitting him, but he left the bathroom, listened to some of the explanation, and then tried to puzzle out the strange device he'd been given. He didn't have any idea how to work it or what it was supposed to do. In the slightest.]

[It would be easier to type if he took off his flight gloves, but the thought didn't cross his mind. He didn't even realize the two garbled texts posted anywhere. The idea of a network was over his head.

At least, finally, he managed to turn on the video. Not that much could be seen because he'd smeared ash over the camera lens while trying to get the phone to work.]

Hello? Can anyone hear me? Bastion- [He was speaking English but his accent was foreign. Volstovic, to be exact, and for anyone unfamiliar with it, it came across as a blend of Russian and French. It sounded proper, just a hair shy of snobby, and though a little heavy was not unintelligible.] What is this thing, where am I. What is this language?

Who: Grace & Jamal
What: Grace should be in the Hospital wing but she keeps finding ways to sneak away
Where: HQ: Hallway
When: 11/2; evening
Warnings: Possible talks about injury.

Grace knew that she should stay in the Hospital until she's fully healed but she didn't like it there. It made her feel bad with everyone fussing about her and everything there was foreign to her. The lights in the Hospital darkened at the same time they do each night and just like the evening before Grace slipped from her bed and silently moved down the hall and away from the Hospital. She had a nightgown on which wasn't too different from her usual dresses and her red-ish hood. They'd let her keep it during her stay in the hospital and she now used to it to cover the bandage on her right forearm.

Like father like daughter.

Her bare feet ghost against the hard floor as she turned the corner and crashed into someone walking the other way. Being half the size of a regular adult Grace fell to the floor releasing a whelp of pain as her injured arm reached out to catch her.

Who; EVERYONE!
What; Airy has invited everyone to a Halloween Party.
Where; Cafeteria & Recreation Room
When; October 27th - 31st
Warnings; Horror.

Airy had sent out a video on the 15th of October inviting everyone to a Halloween Party. She'd also plan to set up activities for people who wanted to get into the Halloween spirit. Most of the decorations would be hand made and a day or two before. A few people mentioned that they wanted to help so Airy made sure to send out text with dates and locations of decoration projects. As Halloween neared people will notice orange, purple and black streamers lining the halls. The children were running around in masks even though it wasn't Halloween yet and the tension in HQ had begun to relax as the excitement of the holiday approached.

Who: Grace & Open [Feel freel to make top level's and mingle]
What: Tea Party
Where: Cafeteria
When: October 8th 2016: 2pm - 5pm
Warnings: N/A

The cafeteria didn't very different from it's usual light colors and set tables. Grace had promised not to make a mess and she chose to do that by changing nothing and simply using the table tops. Sitting on the table's surface were pots of tea and over a dozen small cups and saucers. She'd spent her own money buy the sets and she planned to gift them to Gus after her part was over.

There were five teapots in total each one holding a different mixture of tea's that Grace had gathered together. The first pot is light blue and inside of it was a silver needle white tea with a hint of vanilla. The next pot was dark green with leaves imprinted on it and it held a young tea that tasted like the earth with a hint of lemon grass added to it. The next was gray, the teapot looking as if it was made out of cast iron, with a tea that tasted like english breakfast but with a twist of honey taste on the end. The fourth teapot was light blue as well but with a hummingbird drawn on the outside of the pot; it held a very light herbal tea that tasted like roses and berries. The final pot was a brick red, much like Grace's hood, and inside that pot was a jade green tea mix. The tea cups were all white, simple and looked rather breakable.

Grace met everyone with a smile and would tell them what each tea was before taking a seat.

allineedisyou

[Grace smiles at the scree though, as always, her smile doesn't quite reach her eyes.]

Hello everyone!

I wanted to invite you to a tea party. It's going to be in the cafeteria so we don't make a mess anywhere else. I'd like everyone to come! Please let me know so I can put out the place settings for everyone. It'll be in five days, on the fifth at two o'clock.

[She wishes she could invite her stuffed animals but they remain in the Enchanted Forest without her.]

Thank you.

[Grace inclines her head before flicking off the screen.]

Who: August W. Booth~~/Pinocchio~~
What: Arrival & seeking answers
Where: Around HQ
When: 9/29 or thereabouts
Warnings: None

He's not unused to waking up in new places. It's just that usually when he does so, he remembers how he got there. Usually. He's also usually in a bed or on a couch or at least not on the floor. In a place that appears to be...a daycare?

The strangest part about this is that he doesn't feel the twinge in his leg that he's been feeling for weeks now, since he day he knows Emma showed up in Storybrooke. He gingerly reaches down to touch it and it doesn't feel like wood. He pulls the hem of his jeans up to look and it definitely flesh and bone again, not wood.

Huh. That's something. It can only mean that he's not in Storybrooke anymore.

He stands and gathers his shoulder bag, and when the old man shows up and hands him a phone, he pockets it and heads out in search of some more answers.

Who: Bucky Barnes and OPEN
What: Arrival
Where: Around HQ
When: 9/28
Warnings: N/A! Will also match action brackets

Bucky was disoriented when he opened his eyes. He didn't remember passing out or anything that could have led to waking up in an entirely different location. What was even more worrying was that nothing that greeted him looked like Siberia. Even worse? Steve wasn't there. No one was there. He barely stayed in the hospital wing long enough for the stranger to show up and tell him what was going on. Bucky took the phone, but the explanation wasn't satisfactory.

He left the hospital even though he had plenty of reason to stay, being as sweaty, bruised, and aching as he was, but he knew there wasn't much they could do for broken ribs. He'd just have to wrap them himself later, after he'd found Steve and figured out what was going on. That was also the hard part, because he didn't know where he was as he wandered the halls and he was too stubborn to ask anyone for directions. Not that it would have helped, unless someone could give him directions to a quinjet or a tall blonde. He would just have to search the place from top to bottom.

[Alexis had returned late to HQ after giving a late tour but she was happy, she was actually good at giving tours. So the only sound was the click of boot heels but there was a second set of footsteps behind her so cue the female voice asking if whoever it was had gotten lost then cue the fist fight. Thanks to everything going on Alexis is reliving the night she was kidnapped and is now fighting back.]

ki2k

[For most people, the pain of feeling like they were being squeezed too tightly into a space too small for them was, while all too real, also somewhat illusory; a transitory feeling accompanying being brought to this place. While horrifying, it would pass. For KITT, the pain was all too real, and seemed to continue long after he'd dropped to his knees, clutching his stomach and squeezing his eyes shut as if to ward off the sensations.

He stayed that way for many long moments, but when his eyes finally opened, he realized several things.

Knees. He had knees. And kneeling on the hard floor was making them hurt with a different kind of pain. Also, he had a stomach, and hands, and eyes. He was seeing his surroundings, not with scanners, but with eyes, recording not with sensors, but with skin. How was this possible?

He sat back on his haunches, raising his hands before his face, his mouth contorting into horror. What had happened to him? What was going on?

There was a woman speaking, but he ignored her, ignored everything but this nightmare he'd awakened into. He'd been re-charging in the back of the semi, and now he was here, and...

The world went black as he passed out, slumping heavily to the floor.]

The shield came down and then......nothing. Tony blinked for a moment and slowly sat up. A woman babbled at him for a moment and gave him some things, but Tony's focus was on the fact that he wasn't dead yet. Steve had meant to kill him. The idea made Tony freeze and start to shiver. He tried to take in a breath but found he couldn't. A panic attack, he recognized the signs. He started shaking more and he backed up until he hit a wall. He struggled to breath and take in something that would help calm him down, but it wasn't working and he was just getting more terrified. "Pep..per," he managed, "sor..ry."

Grace was running towards the arrival bay the moment she heard that more people were appearing on the platform. She didn’t know if her father might be there but she hoped. He would be there and she’d be there to greet him with a smile. She didn’t know why or how he had left. She woke up one morning and found him gone.

He would never leave without saying goodbye. Grace was sure of it.

She can be found at the arrival platform for the next few days. She took up a post by the door wearing a new dress but the same red hood. Depending on the time of day she can be found sleeping in the same spot and after a few days she’s trying her best not to cry. Her father wouldn’t want her to cry but she missed him so much.

He’d been here, for a few weeks, they had been together and they were happy. Was she a bad girl? Why would he keep leaving? Did something happen to him? Was he okay? Why couldn’t she protect him? Was she too weak? She was only just a child.

As the arrivals stopped appearing she realized that her father was really gone and she was alone again. She curled up on the floor and cried on that final day not caring who saw her.

Who; Rogue (from the movieverse) and YOU!
What; After hiding out for a few days after the Big Important Meeting, Rogue's out wandering. Come meet her or catch up?
Where; Various locations
When; August 5th - 10th
Warnings; Mentions of imprisonment and torture, but nothing graphic. Will update as needed.

Being stuck underground was starting to take its toll on Rogue. It wasn't quite as bad when she was out and about, like in the cafeteria for her sorry excuse for meals, but when she was in her room... It was too much like being in the lab, where there had been no windows and nothing personal to remind her that she was still a human being.

With each night that passed, her nightmares grew worse and she found herself spending more time just walking around HQ, settling in one place for a few hours before moving to another. Being around people helped sometimes, but nighttime was the worst, when everyone seemed to settle and there was no one left to remind her that this world was still alive.

OOC; Starter posts/locations in the comments. Feel free to propose others, Rogue will be doing quite a bit of wandering.

IT'S A MINOR BLIP IN TIME
Maybe you were showering, or sleeping, having breakfast. You might have been participating in your morning commute or fighting off a horde of zombies.

Whatever you were in the middle of, a strange sensation of disconnection comes over you, as though you're watching your life on screen, a passive audience to the proceedings. It's almost like, well, being sucked down the drain like every adolescent nightmare, the feeling of disconnection replaced quickly with a pain so deep, it's as though every atom of your being is pressed too closely together, and your vision goes dark. Then, just as quickly as the pain came over it, it's gone, reality snapping back into place like a stretched rubber band.

WELCOME TO NEW YORK CITY

When your eyes adjust, you find yourself in a slightly spartan room, standing on a platform that seems to be made of glass or some sort of crystal. Energy currents in blues and greens swirl within it, dizzying and hypnotizing if stared at for too long. You're shocked from the vision by a cheery, bubbly voice that belongs to a petite brunette grinning at you from the base of the steps that lead down from the platform. She apologizes for any inconvenience you may have been caused, and hands you a small package, explaining that inside you'll find a phone, a directory of locations within the complex you've arrived in, a charge card with a balance of $500, and a key to a room in the dormitories which can be reached by following the green line on your directory.

She apologizes again for how confusing this must all be, but assures you that everything will make sense soon!

OOC NOTES: Feel free to hit up any of the NPC starters, start your own threads under any of the locations provided, or start your own threads independent of the starters! Prose or brackets are welcomed! Once characters leave the Receiving Room, they will have full access to the Network, and you're free to post there as well!

CIRCLES OF LIFE

Circles
Of life,
Born from
Pulses
Of light,
Vibrate
To
Breathe,
While
Spiraling
Outwards
For
Infinity
Through
The lens
Of time,
And into
A sea
Of stars
And
Lucid
Dreams.
