[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?

[Well, at least some people are paying attention to that. What were they teaching these guys at their Hero Academies?

Still, he's hitting on one of her favorite topics, her career! Rose beams at him before answering.]

No, I'm the only one. [Then again, there's Nathan running his own company.] I can't lie and say it's been easy. Balancing my schoolwork with my careers has been difficult at times, but I have great support from my parents, friends, and fans, so I've always been able to push through.

[She's repeated that so often that she doesn't even sound rehearsed anymore.]

Electricity and wind is a pretty strong combination! I know Heroes who work with one or the other, but not both. I'm impressed! It sounds like you're working with things way beyond what I'm used to. [Then again, it was more likely that he's just being figurative when he's talking about gods and monsters. Either way, flattery wouldn't hurt.]

[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?

[Karina honestly can't complain, she never went to it. Powerful and skilled enough that they snapped her up before she left high school.]

Trying to save the multiverse is going to be a welcome vacation.

[She says it so drily, it might be hard to pick up on the fact that she's joking.]

Honestly, that's probably the smartest way that this so-called 'Time Trapper' could have handled things.

It was probably only a matter of time. I just finished saving the world back home, I guess that wasn't a long enough rest between times of trouble.

[At least last time he'd gotten a longer period between the Titan War and Juno kidnapping him and erasing his memories for her quest.]

You people really do operate on some stunning scales here. I'll give you all that. I have my hands full with a city!

[Jason smiles a little sheepishly, making the scar at the corner of his lip a little more pronounced.] What can I say...it's about par for the course where I'm from. Though, perhaps it's not always a potentially world ending quest. And thankfully it's usually required that we do things like that in groups anyway.

[She laughs and shakes her head. Oh man. This was something, wasn't it?]

Either way, leave some for the rest of us when we've got to go out on a mission, all right? It sounds like all of this is old news for you.

You've got it. Next time we're sent on a mission to a murder world it's all yours.

[Okay he's teasing a little there, but hey you asked.]

Well, I missed out on the death games with Jake, so I guess I can handle a planet of assassins.

[Of course, she was busy with other parts of that emergency, but...]
