[The video snaps into focus instantly, giving everyone a good look at Blue Rose chatting with a technician about adjustments to something in her hab. Given the half-finished look of the place, she's strutting through while everyone's still hard at work, making sure everything's just how she wants it. Better to do it now while they're there, after all. She beams at the camera for a moment.]

Hello, everyone! You'd think there'd be some kind of ceremony with a meeting or something. [Oh well.] I'm told this is probably where I'll be staying for the next few weeks until we've wrapped up this whole Chronoblivion situation, so I thought I'd extend a hand and introduce myself to everyone. Obviously I'm one of the newer arrivals. You can call me Blue Rose, or maybe Karina if I'm out of costume. One or the other, please. [She's well aware that there are some cultural difference here, but you've got to draw the line somewhere. She turns to a worker and waggles her fingers.] The softer yellow. The other shade would glare a bit, don't you think? Oh, you don't see the color? Well. Ah. Take my word for it. [She coughs and turns back.]


It's a pleasure to meet all of you! Really, it is. I don't think I've ever worked with so many NEXTs at once! It's kind of exciting. Anyway, why don't I talk a little about myself? Let's see, I'm eighteen years old. I've been a Hero with Titan Industries for almost four years now. I understand that's longer than a few of you, but I'm always willing to lend an ear if you've got any problems. [As long as they're not stupid problems.] I'm an elemental-type NEXT, I can make ice. I'd offer a demonstration, but I'd hate to interrupt the workers here by making a mess. So something small. [She holds up a hand and her eyes glow blue, with an accompanying aura. Slowly, a frosty rose forms between her fingers.] Tada!

Anyway, in addition to being a hero, I'm also an idol! I was looking forward to releasing my third album soon, but I think that's been put on hold. I don't think that will mean much here, though. Even if it wasn't another universe, a thousand years is a long time for music to remain popular, isn't it? Maybe I'll work on something new in my free time. [She turns away again when someone asks her something. She shakes her head, handing them the rose.] No, just a normal piano. I don't know how to work that one! Oh, just give me both, I'll learn that new one. Oh, can you add some cameras? I might start a new blog, and showing people how I work would be good. [And then she's back like she wasn't interrupted.]

Well, that's probably enough about me. If you've got any questions, feel free to ask! But, really, I'd rather hear about you all right now. Why don't you introduce yourselves?

[Nita looks like someone who is trying very hard to think of something nice to say about someone's ugly baby pictures.]

We don't really have anything that. Organized.

[The Fantastic Four have a gift shop but that's not really the same.]

sure

[He's pretty skeptical. But he'd be skepical of anyone getting sponsorships and cashmoney and saying it didn't factor into their motivation. He doesn't even necessarily condemn selling out, just own that shit.]

bet youre gonna love this place then
homicidal baddies galactic threats every tuesday ad a public that likes to harass its heroes for not conforming exactly to their ideals at all times no matter the situation
it can be pretty brutal but hey
a selfless experienced hero like you has this shit in the bag
locked down tight that shit aint goin nowhere
the bag in question is one of those fancy metal suitcases with a combination lock and the combination is fuck off

[Roland frowns just offscreen and reaches out to adjust so his face is more in frame, spends a second making sure everything's in order. Writing's more familiar to him but maybe this'll make sending these messages a damn sight quicker, if he's figured the workings of this machine correctly.]

Hm. Sure you want to stop talking about yourself so soon? Don't reckon you've impressed upon all of us just how important you are yet.

woah chill on the reading into things
besides its not like i volunteered for all this
i randomly woke up on a hellplanet like everyone else here
playing superhero til they figure this whole mess out is more about passing the time than making bank
the salary thing hasnt even been useful so far i mean they feed and house us and we have access to plenty of cool future shit here

[Luckily Roland doesn't mind his drinks cold.]

Could start by deciding who it is you're talking to. If you're greeting your new fellows then greet us, if you can bear to stop ordering those workers around for long enough.

[In contrast, Roland's own tone is bland and easy. Maybe a little bit wry, not much more.]

[She was right in this case, though. He's just being a shit and playing innocent.]

id have thought being a superhero would be an instant in at any college
slap that shit on an application and suddenly youre drowning in scholarships
cant even breathe under all these letters promising funds and free board and shit
sounds pretty fuckin ungrateful of the higher education system to me
but hey i guess colleges being more about making money than actually teaching people shit is a universal constant

shit yall really do the classic comics secret identities huh
doesnt seem like that big a deal here but granted its not like most of us have friends or family outside the legion anyway
or an identity outside the legion period

You have to admit, none of them would be nearly as fun.

[Barry sighs, not happy to have that particular name brought up.]

Don't remind me, People back home called me that for over a month until I managed to get it to stop.

to be honest i have no clue
to be fair ive only been here for like two weeks


[Sixteen days, actually. Sixteen days, eight hours, fourteen minutes--]

so yeah
im not necessarily the best source of info about how people do shit around here
far as i can tell everyone pretty much lives and hangs out here when not out saving the world so theres not much point in secret identities besides for funsies

[Not that. Although it would probably get interesting if Jason started discussing his "hero academy".]

That sounds pretty impressive then. I can't really imagine trying to juggle all of that. I know someone who's considered pretty famous back home, but he just does movies and television -- no super heroics or anything -- and his schedule stays pretty busy with just that.

[He shrugs.]

I suppose it's like a storm-based power. I think we all have different expertise to bring to the table though, so we all have ways to contribute, right?
