[ At first, there is nothing but static, flaring louder and louder, and the picture onscreen dissolving into fuzzy gray and black lines. It rises and rises, hitting almost ear-piercing pitches, until, abruptly, it stops, and the picture resolves itself into a man. There is a faint rustle that may or may not be wings. He peers at the device, head ( Read more... )

[After spending quite some time sifting through the network, investigating as thoroughly as he can and puzzling over the results, Arthur so far has only one thing to ask the Promenadian public.]

What kind of a name for a city is Promenade?

[filtered to Ariadne and Eames]Ariadne, Eames. I can see you're both here already, so would one of you mind ( Read more... )

[The PORTAL switches on abruptly, and a flash of green streaks past. The view is at an angle, fallen over and tilted against something. Within the shot is a young woman. Short, with white-blonde hair and wearing the skin of a hrakkar, a white lion of the Dothraki sea, about her shoulders, that hangs down her back. A streak of black goes past the ( Read more... )

[The Portal display is dark. But there’s faint light, twisted in reflection, and after a moment, it pans out slightly to give a better view. A black mask. A helmet. It’s smooth, completely opaque, with a few dashes of color to the sides-glowing red-orange from within. It tilts slightly, as if observing ( Read more... )

[The Doctor is making his PORTAL debut, mask and all. He’s bent at the waist, arms bent at an odd angle. He doesn’t last very long in that position, as his center of balance suddenly shifts and he takes a stutter step forward before righting himself. He looks right, then left, then takes a quick spin completely around before his gaze lands on the ( Read more... )

[Locked to Rose Tyler]

There's...another Time Lord here. Yes, I know, I said they were all gone, it's a long story. And I thought they were. Anyway, he's called the Master, and he's an old...acquaintance of mine. Whatever you do, stay away from him. One of his favourite things to do is hurt me, in whatever way possible, and I quite imagine that he ( Read more... )

[ When the video comes on, the PORTAL is obviously on the floor, focused upward on nothing in particular. In the background the sounds of someone stomping around and moving things - heavy, metal things - can be heard. Some soft curses in what might be German and then suddenly a swish of red flashes by the screen. Was that a cape? Is Batman's gay ( Read more... )

[ the feed cuts on to show a corner of a seemingly uninhabited room. moments, after, there's a spike of brown hair seen, then Sora finally makes it onto the camera feed. He raises the camera so he's looking all the way up, then down, showing that his room is in disarray. already. his mask, ornately crafted with a crown design but black in colour. ( Read more... )

[The PORTAL turns on to reveal a rather unsatisfied-looking redhead with a mess of hair going in all sorts of directions, giving the impression that he either just woke up, or simply doesn't care. He scrunches up his face when he sees the screen turn on, letting him know that it is, indeed, recording.]

Okay, I don't really know what's going on, but ( Read more... )

[The screen on the PORTAL shows what looks at first sight to be just a normal human male. He wears a black and gold ornate mask, and doesn't look all that put out, even if he's much more confused than he's letting on.]

It figures that humans can't do anything right. Such a simple set of instructions, and yet they still managed to foul that up! ( Read more... )
