Right. So is it just me or do certain weather patterns work on a time schedule here? That's twice that I've gotten needled out by hail. Bloody things gonna make me look like a pin cushion.

[At least she didn't spill her coffee everywhere this time. Jesus, she needs that morning wake up when it's this cold, thanks.]

[Oh yeah, she actually had a point ( Read more... )

[ It's rare that Amalthea will lower herself to resorting to human form these days, but it became necessary, sad to say. That is, necessary because her employers insisted that she be inside for the duration of the snowstorm. Probably still guilty over accidentally shooting her and all, a year ago. ]
I am loathe to admit such, but I require ( Read more... )

[There's the sound of rustling far too close to a microphone, as if a thumb is being rubbed across it, mixed with ambient noise. The thudding of heavy footsteps and heavier breathing, the clatter of a glass bottle, the squeaking of some unholy thing in the dark. In fact, it sounds suspiciously like the Master is butt-dialing you ( Read more... )

[ The video comes on to show a young girl sat in a pretty bare room. She's been in the Port for a couple of days, and managed to get her hands on actual clothes, but has yet to really do anything. She's not too sure that she wants to ]Not to repeat what everyone else says but kidnapped to Canada? Pretty sure that wasn't on my list of things to do ( Read more... )

[ Not her usual video this time, but her Scottish is as distinctive as ever. It sounds like she's rummaging around and cleaning up, so there's a reason. ]

The snowglobes were nice while they lasted, yeah? I wasn't really expecting them to melt though. [ Guess who had to clean up a bunch of them? ] Sort of made me miss a few things. Well, okay, ( Read more... )

Captain's log, Stardate twenty-eleven point nine-I-don't-really-goddamn-care-right-now.

[Say hi to Jim Kirk, everyone. Some of the video feed is dark, however much of it is illuminated by an orangey-red light. Jim himself is being bathed with enough of the unusual light that any viewers will be able to see him practically dripping with sweat ( Read more... )

[The NV is propped up on something that gives a sweeping view of rooftops and Serrure in profile. Light fades as night is coming on and he's seated on the edge of a building's roof, feet dangling over. There's no worry in his face, just a pensive expression and he speaks as though to himself, though the words are obviously meant for an audience]How ( Read more... )

[A touch louder, more strident, and commanding than usual:]

Yo! Newcomers, Siren's Port people, everyone! Come to the Newcomer Community Center for my speed-dating event, you won't want to miss it. It's going to be interesting!

[She pauses for a moment, thoughtfully, then goes on again.]Yeah, so, it starts tonight at 9. At the NCC. That's all ( Read more... )

So I keep hearing things about people who don't have gifts or abilities already. That they end up developing them here. This is account of the Core, it's influence and such, yeah? And I'm assuming people who already had powers n' things don't get anything new when they come here?

Is it random or does it sort've come out like something that fits or ( Read more... )

[The feed flicks on. Tonegawa is at home in his office and as close to casual as one could possibly get with him so publically. He’s jacketless, for one thing, with his sleeves rolled up to reveal a large gold wristwatch and with his tie loosened just a little, enough to reveal that his topmost shirt button is undone. In one hand he holds the ( Read more... )
