Hey there. For those of you who don't know me already, I'm Dr. Ray Stantz, and I'm a paranormal investigator.

So, I've noticed lately that we've gotten a few skeptics in board lately, and it made me wonder about something. How many of us have encountered the supernatural before the Legion? You know, psychics, ghosts, demons, magic, goblins, gremlins, Nessie, vampires, that sort of thing? If you have any stories about the paranormal, I'd love to hear them. If you'd rather not go into details, that's fine too. Just a little curious, is all.

[The feed opens on what could be a stock footage from a business video; Claire has found her habitat and she's broadcasting from behind the desk of her office, overlooking a corporate campus. She herself is dressed smartly in pale colors.]

Good afternoon, Legion. I thought I should introduce myself. My name is Claire Dearing, otherwise known as The Director. [Keeping it professional, but there's still a little hesitance with her 'superhero name' because seriously, she's a grown woman.]

Back home I was Director of Park Operations for a, uh ... an amusement park, [Sure yeah let's leave it there,] and I'd like to offer my services to anyone who might need business advice. This can be anything from finances, public relations, general or specialized business practices.

[Please just give her something normal to work with.]

Thank you, and I look forward to working with you.

[If Garrus looks a little bit uncomfortable, it's only because he is. He's not exactly at home in front of the camera, especially in any kind of official capacity. He's always worried - probably justifiably - about tripping up or saying something stupid.

[Still, he's already been pulled into another dimension and narrowly avoided death today. He's fairly certain he's seen the worst of it no matter how badly he botches his introduction, and for some reason that's reassuring.]

Hi, everyone. I'm Garrus Vakarian with ... honestly, I'm not sure what outfit I'm with anymore. [It's gotten very complicated over the past few years. There's a beat before he adds thoughtfully] I guess it's the Legion now.

Not really sure how all of this works, but I'm a former Citadel Security Investigations Officer, turian military before that, and up until recently I was the resident marksman on the Normandy if that means anything to anyone who happens to see this.

[Not that he expects anyone to.]

As for codenames, mine is Archangel.

[He pauses.]

That's all I can think of as far as introductions go, so ... I guess I'll see you all in the field.

[ The camera comes on, showing a kid wearing some kind of strange battle armor. Definitely young, too young to be part of the Legion. But the muscles and mess of spiky black hair probably give away who this is. ]

Um... I know I'm used to time travel and everything, but... I'd like to stop changing ages now.

It's really weird.

notwithoutafight

[ A very angry looking Videl turns on the feed, looking younger (and angrier) than she has for awhile. Gone is the attractive bob haircut, replaced with the unruly short 'do that makes her look like she has permanent bed head. ]

Okay, you know what? I've had it up to here-- [ Videl makes a measurement motion with her hand extending above her head. ] --with this universe and its time travel junk.

I remember being older here and talking to everyone and going on missions and stuff, but it's more like deja vuu, or like an out of body experience. I remember telling everybody I was married and had a kid, too. Except I don't remember any of that actually happening. [ She huffs impatiently. ] Apparently, I sort of... "blipped"-- [ She makes finger quotes. ] --home for a sec and then reappeared like ten years older. And I remember the whole "being back" part, just not the "being home" part.

[ Her frown deepens. ] I don't think anybody has any idea what's wrong with me. I went to Dr. Gym'll and he said I'm definitely 18 and I've definitely never had a kid before, so either I lied to everybody for months or he has no idea what he's talking about.

[ An exasperated sigh. ]

I just want to find that Time Trapper guy so I can punch his stupid face in.

(ooc; Videl is permanently aged down to a teenager again. She’s lost all her memories of being an adult except for what occurred here in Legion. )

fourstars

WHAT JUST HAPPENED?!

[ The feed comes on to show Gohan's face. Looking younger than he did before, although that absolutely shouldn't distract from his completely bewildered expression. ]

Y-You know, I'm pretty used to a lot of things... but having memories of being older that are still somehow in the past?! That might actually be a first for me, believe it or not!

(ooc: using the time ripple event to age him back down to being a teenager, but i'm having the time trapper give him his legion memories back. tl;dr: he's eighteen again, permanently, but remembers being older. oh, and uh, pretend this is after the plots, obviously.)

mercurypowermakeup

[The image on the screen shows a blue haired girl in a rather interesting outfit taking her pledge to join the Legion.]

To the Legion of Superheroes I make this solemn pledge: To use my powers for good. To fight for justice and protect the innocent. To aid my fellow Legionnaires in times of peril and to keep their secrets safe.

I choose a new name to honor the heroes of the past. I am the Guardian of love and Intelligence, I am Sailor Mercury!

[She couldn't help but add in part of her usual introduction as she swore her oath. Back home she did what she could to protect people and that wouldn't change while she was here. The new powers would take some getting used to though.

After finishing her oath, she turns her attention back to the omnicom with a smile and a small bow.]

Hello. My name is Sailor Mercury, but you may also call me Ami. I've only just arrived here, but I will do what I can to help.

I do have a question, does someone know where I might be able to find a library?

goddamnwingman

[Video feed flips on with the observation deck serving as a backdrop to a man in black. Black cowl, covering the head and upper face, all the way down the neck and across the shoulders. All that shows is the man's lower face as some sort of lens even covers his eyes.]

[Though the cowl is a little odd in that there are definitely 'ears' on the top of the head. Though lower than some who knew him in his own world might have seen before. Then again, Batman did like changing up his costumes from time to time.]

[He's frowning, but it seems more a thoughtful frown than one with any actual emotion behind it.]

I have to admit, this isn't where I expected to be when I started my patrol.

Anybody want to give me the rundown of this place? The one that's not sanitized for newcomers.

unrecovered

[Wash looks a bit better than he did a week ago; turns out a successful mission and a plan for the future really do help.]

We've all seen the Legionnaire Legacies, and I'm pretty sure we're all tired of them. Well, Mirage is a genius, and she had an idea: we'll make fake ones. Use our Anywhere Machine to pull real footage, create fake footage to supplement it, write our own narratives, and broadcast them. It'll discredit the press, and it might keep them off our backs, because there's no reason to broadcast someone's past if it's already been done by someone else.

So. Who's in?

[ Those who know Tex have probably noticed she's been gone for some time, and that she didn't participate in the last round of missions. Before she left, she was often to be found in the training rooms and workout facilities, even though she doesn't have any muscles to work out and can't gain any strength. Tex gains satisfaction in life from being sharp and a good fighter and even though most of her abilities require her systems to be in good working order and calculating her opponents' moves, she likes to stay in practice.

But not long ago, researching the UP and the government's role in the Legion, she discovered something that she felt required more personal investigation. This situation is the conflict between Colu and Robotica, and how the former world attempted to block the latter from being accepted to the UP. In fact, she was intrigued when she learned how the UP in general treats citizens of Robotica, because she herself could easily be considered a similar lifeform.

It's the things she learned on this trip, as well as the changes the Legion has gone through in her absence, that have led her to decide to make this post. Tex isn't typically one to engage the video function, but that's what she chooses to do this time. She sets the omnicon on a desk in her quarters and stands across from it to film herself. ]

This is Lonestar and I just got back from a pretty informative trip. I know I left pretty suddenly, and I'm sorry I missed the last round of missions, but getting back and learning about the stuff you all accomplished, I'm just thinking about what might be done about what I learned.

I don't know if you're familiar with the planet called Colu, but they pretty much consider themselves to be the smartest and the best in the whole galaxy. They think they're so great, but the interesting thing is they can't stand the possibility that mechanical sentience might be rising on other planets. In fact, they went out and tried to stop this from happening on a planet called Robotica. Robotica got into the UP through the Legion's intervention, eventually, but Colu has attacked them even since that happened.

Now I don't want to be too presumptuous, and I don't want to question the way we run this organization, but I'm wondering—why would we support Robotica getting into the UP and not sanction Colu for treating them the way they have? It's not like we're not willing to help arrest corrupt politicians when we see the crap they cause going on. In fact, from what I've learned, Colu is essentially responsible for attempted genocide of the life on Robotica. That was a long time ago, yeah, but people on Colu live so long some of the ones who tried it are still around.

And yeah, before someone says it, I have a bias. That doesn't mean I can't see this garbage for what it is.

[The Legion World staff maintains a feed of all Legion-related media so Legionnaires can be kept abreast of any reporting that's done on them. A segment has aired on Neutrino News about the Legionnaires and their capture of War and the corrupt Council-members.]

[Two women appear on the screen, sitting at a desk, their appearances altered by glam filters so that one is all pink hair and skin and sparkles, and the other is all in blues. They look pretty flashy and tacky but this is the future. Reporters don't exist anymore; they're "personalities" now. More serious news outlets have already reported on the Council-members; this is one of the fluffier retrospective programs that have aired.]

Shellee: I'm Shellee Star! [That would be the pink one.]

Tammee: And I'm Tammee Tim! [That would be the blue one.]

Together: And this is Legion Watch! [They say it in unison in the perkiest voices possible and a stylized graphic of the words "Legion Watch" appear at the bottom of the screen. Occasional clickable sidelinks pop up as the news show goes on.]

Dudes! Check it out! I got sent home for a while and got a totally freakin' metal new mask! Literally!

[He flips down his new steel mask and models it.] Made it myself! Whaddya think? I think it's the coolest skull mask around myself.

[PRIVATE TO JUNKRAT, a little while after the first post.]

Hey, uh, listen dude. I wanted to say...I'm sorry for what happened when we first met. Guess I got a little trigger happy, huh?

ordinarily

So uh. Quick question.

[ The feed shows Danny in what looks like the Observation Deck. The only other place he liked to hang out in that wasn't his Nasty Burger biome. He was sitting on the floor, his legs hanging out over the edge. Upper body leaning forward against the railing, as he stared off not at the planet below, but right into space. ]

Does anyone know if there's, like... an arcade around here or something? I've already looked around, and I don't think I saw anything like that. But I dunno, maybe I wasn't looking in the right places.

[ A pause, as he keeps staring into space. Until finally, another question: ]

Also, I was thinking... can I, like... go to the moon?

[ Another pause, in which he starts to feel like maybe that was a dumb question. ]

I-It's not a big deal, I don't really have to do it. I guess in the vegan space future, going to the moon probably isn't that big of an accomplishment anymore. [ A chuckle. ] Thinking about it now, I should probably be thinking about going to like, distant planets, or meeting aliens, or... I dunno, something bigger than going to the moon...

[ But the moon was familiar to him. And everything else here so far wasn't. ]

Anyway, yeah. I guess that's it.

hallaifyouherd

I greet you, my fellow Legionnaires.

[ The image accompanying said greeting is that of a young woman with pointed ears and tattoos across the upper part of her face, peering inquisitively into the camera. She thinks she's got this broadcast option thing down. ]

In case we haven't met? My name is Marjara.

[ Her lips quirk upwards, before her expression grows a little more somber. ]

I've been thinking something through. And I think I know what I want to do. But a little experience from other people who might have gone through similar circumstances would help. I think.

[ She's not going to ask them to choose for her. Gods knew she'd never let someone make her mind up for her before now, and she wasn't about to start...but learning about the shift? The consequences? The little things that came along with it that you might not initially think about? Might be worth the time to ask. ]

Have any of you lost a part of you, a limb or...something else of similar importance, and chose to have it replaced? Would you be willing to speak of what it was like for you?

If not, I still thank you for your time.

thedreamisdead

Morning, culture lovers.

[Someone's in a chipper mood. Might have something to do with the fact that she's in the sim room, sitting alongside an oversized motorcycle that is in no way compensating for anything.]

( Read more... )

zippity

How's it so many of you are runnin' about and not bringin' back any stories with you? Some of us could use it you know! Instead of havin' 'em all dumped out when they drop those spots on the news, anyway.

[Ahem.

Tracer is broadcasting from the monitor room, where she's clearly been serving out her duties with as much patience as she can muster (read: not a lot). Even with all of the activity, Tracer can't deal with the tedium. She's rigged up a way to continuously spin herself in a chair while she spends time dispatching Legionnaires as is expected of her. Even with that, she's incredibly restless, and has herself perched in the window, lounging on the sill in a manner that probably would be considered unsafe if she weren't capable of rewinding time around her.

Overwatch's systems were mostly automated. When a warning went out, the Strike Team left -- and that was the end of it. This dispatching nonsense makes her thankful that it never got quite as large, but also makes her nostalgic.

That's not the only thing, but. Well, its a big part of it. And while she's trying to think of a way to bring up that first thing without outing herself, she can be seen tapping her fingers nervously on the big glowing machine on her chest.]

...speakin' of stories. How many of you lot got families back where you came from? Maybe a better half...

[She pauses here -- not too long though. Don't want to be suspicious.]

...do you think they're still lookin' for you? It's been a tick, hasn't it?

-A new face has appeared! At least new to almost everyone of the Legionnaires save for one. And boy does she have a ten mile wide smile. She's practically bounding in her seat as she starts to record the video. Fortunately for her, these devices aren't impenetrably high tech. Hell, compared to spellphones, they're downright antiquated by being an actual physical object. Still, those blue eyes of her (what was with the odd rings in her irises?) were shining with what could only be described as wonder.-

"To the Legion of Superheroes I make this solemn pledge: To use my powers for good. To fight for justice and protect the innocent. To aid my fellow Legionnaires in times of peril and to keep their secrets safe.

I choose a new name to honor the heroes of the past. I am Miss Guns-n-Roses!"

It all sounds so romantic! The life of a super hero! I can hardly believe it! If there are three jobs every girl wants in life, they are being a queen, being a rock star, and being a super hero, and while I've come really close to two of those, this third one is right at my doorstep! I'm already here, even!

Who knows, in between rescuing cute alien animals and saving innocent people from danger and evil, I might even finally find MR. Guns-n-roses! -She's starting to talk faster, like really fast...- Can you imagine? If I were the wife of a super hero, with both of us being super heroes, we'd become the ultimate power couple! The literal ultimate power couple! Our honeymoon would be on a distant planet with the most gorgeous of sunsets over a glowing ocean, but be interrupted by a sudden attack from a dastardly, scheming villain! He'd cackle, -She deepens her voice throwing her head back and turning her hands upwards with fingers hooked- "MWA HA HA HA! I FINALLY HAVE YOU, MR AND MRS GUNS-N-ROSES! PREPARE TO SUFFER!"

But our love is too strong for them! In a long, blistering battle, we destroy the evil with the marvelous full strength of love between husband and wife! A bond unbreakable by the most terrorizing villains of the galaxy! We'll stand as a testament to love, and when the dust settles, we'll hold each other closely! Mr. Guns-n-Roses will say to me -Another deep voice, and a bad British accent, apparently?- "Darling, I don't just fight for the galaxy, I fight for you, and nothing can take you away from me~"

-... Her nose is bleeding. A lot. Oh god.- So perfect...

A-anyways, hello! -She quickly grabs a tissue to dab up that rush of blood.- I'm actually Elphelt Valentine! It's nice to meet you all, and I hope we can all work together for a better tomorrow~!
