[He almost doesn't want to make the stupid video but he knows that, as much as he wants to, he can't just hide away until the next mission, ninja in, and start doing...whatever. Hero stuff. Whatever it is that heroes do.]

[God, he's done it this time, hasn't he? Gotten into yet more hero crap, and he doesn't even know these assholes. At least back home, he and the other Remedial kids are friends now. Sure, he's hoping to eventually use them in his whole quest for vengeance, but at this point, they'd probably help out with that willingly.]

[Now he's got to make nicey nice with a bunch of strangers, when it was already hard enough to do it the first time. And apparently he's not allowed to kill anybody if he joins up with their outfit. The only way to really face this threat to all their worlds is with this stupid team, and that means he's got to follow their stupid rules.]

[So it's a very cranky ninja that appears on screen. His face is cowled; the small bit of skin that's visible is a bright blue. Two pointy white horns jut out from the sides of his forehead, and his eyes glow with a menacing orange glow. Even though his face is cowled, the way his eyes are crinkled up make it clear he's scowling under there.]

[When he speaks, his voice is low and raspy. He sounds like the teenage boy he is, but definitely the kind of teenage boy that smokes six packs a day. Also the Joisey accent is pretty unmistakable.]

'Sup, losers. My name's Kyou Tanaka. I've been told there's some kind of cosmic whatever we've gotta stab repeatedly in the face.

Which is a good thing because apparently the morons in charge of this outfit won't let us stab anything else in the face.

So you're going to not be seeing me hanging around a lot. I say "not" on account of, y'know, ninja. But on the off chance you ever do see me, like when I move in for the ki - uh, punching, for the punching - don't shoot me or blow me up with butt lasers or anything. I can heal from it, but seeing as most of you can't heal when I inevitably throw a shuriken in your eye on sheer reflex, you should probably save us both the trouble.

[He pauses. Shit, what else is he supposed to say?]

I guess I'm supposed to tell you my "superhero" name. [Quotey fingers. He only has four fingers on each hand.] It's Murderizer McKillinstuff.

[Another pause.]

Just because I'm following your stupid no-killing rules doesn't mean I have to like it.

[Recovering from her first major mission, Claire throws herself into a project she's been working on since she arrived. Today, it is nearing finished, although there are still some holes she needs to address. This she can't do without a bit of help. A video feed opens to Claire sitting at her desk in her office that is her habitat. You know, the one with the perfectly manicured and fabulously landscaped grounds? With the architecturally interesting buildings? Yeah, that one.]

[She smiles for the camera.]

Good evening, Legion. I hope everyone is recovering from the recent missions.

[She definitely took a spa day or two.]

If anyone is interested in a less active sort of mission, I have just the thing. I am looking for a handful of volunteers to travel with me to Korugar, Rann, and Tamaran for a goodwill PR tour. Each stop will involve a meet and greet, a Q&A panel, and signing, so be aware that we will be presenting the best face forward for the majority of this tour.

[Well. Audio + a picture.

Jason sounds entirely too pleased with himself after uploading that shot.]

Look at what I found! They're pretty cheap, considering.

I'm probably gonna get them. They do custom orders, too! If you want, I can drop a few orders for you guys while I'm here.

manwhosoldtheworld

Well, isn't this nice?

[Peter has a mug of coffee clasped between his hands and is wearing an obnoxiously acid green t-shirt. You can take the man out of the gym, but you can't take the gym out of the man. His tastes haven't changed that much.]

Electricity. Hot running water. Coffee. As much alcohol as I can imbibe. It's delightful.

[Yes, he does intend to take advantage of the new-found luxury.]

I would love to say that I'm shocked to be here and all those platitudes about trying to adjust, but really, this makes about as much sense as anything else that's happened to me in the last few years.

Zombie apocalypse, insane hippies with mind-control rays, people growing lizard scales... superheroes and alternate realities seems like the next logical step, as far as logic has anything to do with it.

[He takes a long drink of his coffee.]

Oh yes. You can call me Peter. I'm... A Runner, entertainer, part-time spy and occasional meat shield. I'm sure we'll have a marvellous time together.

legionnpcs

[cw: Dipper's canon is supernatural/horror, so this LL contains everything from zombies (including eye gore), to petrified thrones of human agony, to implications of suicide, to tooth gore, to blood...waterfalls. If you have a specific horror squick you want to try to avoid, but want to read, PM me (Korel) and I'll let you know if it's in here.]

[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. 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.]

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

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

Shellee: Welcome to another installment of Legion Watch: Legionnaire Legacies. In this episode, we're focusing on one of the youngest Legionnaires, a teenager who has inspired controversy with his actions in Murderworld, and has caused many to be intrigued about his possible origins. Tonight, we'll focus on a Legionnaire whose motivations are as mysterious as his callsign: Dipper Pines, aka Captain Mystery!

[The lines and creases of his face are carved deep with stress. There are bags under his eyes. Neither of these things are going to be unusual, he thinks, and he's seen no reason to hide them. He'd be surprised to hear a one among all the Legionnaires have been getting a good night's sleep.]

You all know what happened on that ship. The Silent Horizon. My part in events was small but, in its way, not insignificant. I broke my oath. I believed I was holding to it, at the time; I allowed my arrogance and my- my grief to blind me to what I knew was right. I allowed myself to become something which would have killed every one of you, given half a chance, and dragged you all into hell with me. I had my doubts about all of you, all of this, but I see it's myself I should have been watching - should've watched my cowardice, but instead I allowed it to drive me, and in so doing broke the oath we all took. That was unforgivable, but I'm crying your pardon anyway. All your pardons, I suppose. Anyone who feels moved to give one. You who don't will, I guess, just have to learn to work with me. The Legion's purpose here is noble, after all, even if one of its members has forgot how to measure up.

[For a second he watches the screen, considering. That could, perhaps, have been more succinct. But it's been a long time since he's done something like this, and it would be shameful not to get it right.]

[No, he decides, that's it. That's all. He reaches out toward the screen, and the video ends.]

the_real_sir_prize

Hellooo Legion of Superheroes!

[The man on the screen is handsome and pale, with silvery hair that falls over one of his stunning blue-green eyes. He looks to be in his mid- to late-twenties, and only a pinched look around his visible eye betrays worry. His mouth is certainly smiling and relaxed, and he's speaking with a pronounced Russian accent. It looks like he's still in the Medbay, but he’s sitting on the edge of his bed there.]

I am Victor Nikiforov! Which means much less here than it does back home, so that's a new and interesting experience for me.

[There's a bark off-screen, and a dog appears at Victor's elbow, clearly sitting on the bed with him. It's fluffy and a little ridiculous looking, probably a standard poodle but without the funny haircut. Victor obligingly moves his arm and adjusts the angle of the camera so that both of them are evenly in the shot.] Makkachin and I are recently arrived, and I’m very grateful that the Legion has been keeping an eye on Phelolu, because I would have been very disappointed if we both died there of poison and cold.

I've been informed that I now have short-term precognition. Either that or people are just repeating things as a funny joke, but that seems a little far-fetched when I'm already in another universe in space! So right now, I'm working on choosing my super hero name. Please, tell me yours, and what you like to do around here in your free time!

Oh, and I was assured that Yuuri Katsuki is already here. If anyone sees him and he's not on his way, could you tell him that his coach and the dog who likes to jump on him in public are here? [Makkachin barks again, and Victor laughs, glancing away from the camera.] Yes, and Makkachin is here too!

strangebargains

[The image is shaky at first, since he's holding it. A moment later and the image stabilizes and becomes much more than a chin or pair of nostrils. Stephen comes into view, he's wearing a red cloak with a high collar but it isn't his cloak and he's pretty miffed she didn't get pulled into this universe.]

Hello, everyone, I figure it's best to see if there's anyone I know here. New arrival, Doctor Stephen Strange, if that name rings a bell I congratulate you. That means you're alive and well because I was probably your Doctor. You're welcome.

[He waves a yellow-gloved hand. Underneath they were scarred and ached in certain temperatures, so he figured it'd be best to protect them in this manner.]

Now I've done this whole multiverse song-and-dance deal before. If I'd had the foresight to bring the Eye of Agamotto with me I could have taken care of your little problem. Chronoblivion? Been there, done that.

[He gets a dark look, and shakes it off. That sound exactly like Dormammu and he wouldn't be surprised if that simply was what they called him in this universe.]

Too many times.

Plus, what's the deal with giant world-eating entities? Do they have a club or something? Is it like what they do for fun since they're all bored in their dimensions?

Anyway. I decided to join your little group of Legionaires. I can't use magic here for some reason, but apparently I can still do some things. It's a little different from what I'm used to, but it's nice not having to worry about losing your sling ring.

katsudork

[If the young man that appears on the screen, sitting in his Medbay bed, looks like he's slightly in shock, it's because he is. Yes, the Medbay staff, Officer Erin, and RJ Brande explained it all, but that doesn't mean it was easy to accept as reality. The staff, worried about how he was dealing with it all (which was with a lot of yelling) had even called in a tiny little alien psychiatrist to speak to him.]

[She'd actually helped a lot (even if her sheer existence only added to how unreal everything felt) but that doesn't mean Yuuri is adjusting well. There's a part of him that's still not sure any of this is real, and even if it is, he's not sure what he's supposed to be doing.]

[He feels disconnected from everything. It's like his brain is watching a movie projected on the back of his eyes, and his body feels strange and heavy, like it's not his own, just dead weight he's tethered to. His brain is still swimming with everything they told him, with words like "end of existence," "you'll find that you have superpowers" and "could use your help" floating in and out of focus. He'd nodded in agreement to it all but his brain hadn't put it all together in a complete picture yet.]

Um. Mm.

[He makes some wordless muttering noises, looking for words. They told him there were other people here, that he could talk to, other people like him that had come from other worlds, but talking to new people is something he finds difficult on the best of days and this is probably one of the worst.]

My name's Yuuri Katsuki. I'm -- [He should say who he is, right? Say something about himself. Except it feels almost silly to say what he is. He's in a sci fi novel now, or a comic book, or something, so what does being an athlete matter in all this?]

[So he breaks off into another weird mumbly noise.]

I have ice powers. I don't have a superhero name yet. They said I have to have one, but I haven't really thought up a good one yet so if anyone has any suggestions, that would be... [He trails off.]

[His brows furrow and he reaches a shaking hand up to push his hair back.]

This is real, right? This is all actually real?

icysmile

[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?

I need one of you who knows weaponry in this world universe

[That he can erase unwanted words - 'universe', however new to him, is more accurate - has not occurred to Roland. That he should try has, likewise, not occurred to him. Of course his message is still completely legible.]

I'll be able to pay with credit soon I can pay with services now

[It isn't that he doesn't know the magical power of a full stop at the end of a sentence. He is, after all, wearing the ear plugs which allow him to know this language as if he's been using it all his life. It's just that the types of messages, barring legal documents, that needed writing in his own dimension have led him to believe that punctuations are something which happen to other people.]

I need a tailor or seamstress to pretty up my damn uniform for me Payment same as above

frostedoverland

[Jack Frost comes on the feed, looking only slightly confused as he tries to make sure it's working. It's been awhile and he generally doesn't handle electronics, shhh.]

O-kay, hopefully, this is working. Didn't really use this much last I was here--

[He had his staff held under his arm but now that the comm seems to be working, he holds it with one hand so he could let his staff rest naturally on his shoulder.]

Hey, everyone. Guess I'm back. [He shrugs, not totally okay with it but clearly going to roll with it since he already had his initial shock from before.] Been a few months but I guess I'm still needed and, assuming I still get to be seen by everyone, here I am.

Uh, if anyone doesn't know who I am or are new, I'm Jack Frost. Yes, that Jack Frost, and I was here once before for a few weeks. Got sent back home though and now I'm here. Again.

So, uh, yeah. Hi. Did I miss anything?

[A beat.]

No one gets to call dibs on me this time. [He still doesn't really know what that means.]

bachido

Hello, everyone. Um-

[The boy looks awkward for only a second, before rallying.]

My name is Kubo, and I'm a storyteller.

Some of you have heard a few of my stories already, in the cafeteria or ... Because we've talked, but I just wanted to -

[This is less rehearsed than his performances are, and it shows - that Kubo is uncomfortable shows, not in front of the camera, but uncomfortable about something.]

We all heard the news. That they're going to look into our pasts, and show our stories. We know from the parts of your stories they've already shown, that they don't exactly care about telling the whole tale.

[Hello, Murderworld? What kind of disservice were those clips?]

I don't like that. So whatever part of my story they plan on showing -

[His discomfort overtakes him for a moment. What are they going to show? His parents' deaths? Him killing his aunt? Are they going to make him see Mother and Father at the heartbreaking end of their lives, the end he lead them to, again?

He returns his gaze to the camera, determined.]

I'm going to tell everyone the whole thing first.

So please come to the cafeteria in five day's time! I'll be rehearsing hard to give you a great show.

[And because he needs those five days to actually get all the parts of this story in order.]

If I haven't met you yet, I hope to meet you there.

[The next message is privately sent to Dave. Kubo continues look determined.]

Dave, I'd like to ask you a favor. Since you know more about machines and sharing recordings and pictures than I do.

fourstars

So um... I've been thinking about this for a while. Ever since we left Harrub, actually...

[ He grimaced a bit, pausing for a couple of seconds. Glancing off to the side, before taking a breath, and addressing the camera again. ]

But um, after the whole Murderworld thing... it's kind of become clear that some of us aren't... handling things that well... [ He was thinking about Videl specifically, but the anon meme has also made it clear Videl wasn't the only one. ] I know we all took the oath for various reasons, and we probably all expected different things out of becoming a superhero. But um, some of us probably didn't expect this... so...

... With the whole "Legionnaire Legacies" thing coming around the corner, I think we should... [ Another pause, as he tries to figure out how to phrase this. ] ... um... I guess, share our lives with each other? To make sure we're prepared, in case... in case the news digs up stuff about us, and tries to drag us through the mud with it.

[ This is so weird and strange and against everything Gohan knows. He's usually the most secretive person in the world, but... he's kind of had to cope with having an open identity, so might as well go all in. ]

I guess um, I should go first? My name's Gohan, and... if you have any personal questions for me, I'll be happy to answer them...

bachido

You guys have SO MUCH MUSIC HERE it's amazing I've never heard anything like it!

[The omnicom's sensitivity is the only thing keeping Kubo's post legible. The poor boy has finally discovered all that the modern music industry has to offer (or at least a significant chunk of it) and he's screaming with all the excitement his bard heart can muster into the voice recognition software.]

What's your favorite song and whats your favorite

Band I guess? Is that the word? Band! or performer! Because I'm a musician but I don't know much about all this space music and space machines!

Anyway my name is Kubo and I'll be performing in the cafeteria every day at midday if you want to come hear a story so you should come tell me about your favorite music or just listen to mine there!

turntex

[After finally getting through all the "welcome to spacefuture" stuff and the Legionnaire oath shit, there's a huge ship full of amazing new things to see. So of course, the first thing Dave does is sit down with his omnicom and check out their little network. Kids these days with their internet and their mobile devices. Gosh.

A bit of fussing and he's even got his standard font set up. It almost feels like old times, pestering people online. Unfortunately, this means everyone else is faced with this wall of eyebleedy text.]

ok cool so i guess were playing superheroes now
im down with that i guess but theres a few things weve gotta cover first
number one im not wearing any spandex
i know its a fucking tragedy
depriving the universe of this hot ass clad in the tightest material possible
thats practically villainy in itself really
go ahead and arrest me for this heinous crime but im sticking to my guns here
gotta leave some stuff to the imagination yknow
besides ive got these godpajamas and theyre comfy as shit
youll have to pry these duds from my cold dead corpse
but hey they come with a cape and everything so i think im pretty set on the costume front
so moving on
number two is the superhero name thing
im actually cool with that part but see the difficult thing is picking the best option
there are just too many excellent possibilities how am i supposed to make a decision like this
minute man
clockblock
im think im leaning towards justin time for the potential hilarity but im open to opinions and/or other ideas
apparently chronoblivion is taken so thats a bummer i was totally gonna use that
anyway number three
i need yall to sound off or something
if im stuck forming the justice league with a whole new squad of weirdos then im gonna need to know what what im working with here
and if were gonna do introductions guess i should probably go first
