[The boy on screen might not look too familiar to most on the network, maybe because he doesn't really get out much, outside of his little circle of acquaintances. But if you've seen him once, he's pretty hard to forget, between the bicolored hair and heterochromatic eyes, and of course the giant scar on the left side of his face.

He looks pretty serious, but then, he always looks pretty serious, if he doesn't look tired.]

After everything that happened last month--[He stops short, biting his lips and breathing out through his nose before trying again.]

...I guess that isn't really right, though.

After everything that happened last month, and everything that's been happening for as long as I've been here, I've made up my mind to join the Moon Knights. I'd been holding off because I wasn't sure about swearing my loyalty to a planet that isn't mine, but after everything the Lunatians have suffered through because of us, everything they've done for us, I think we owe them something. Or at least I feel like I do.

I'm not asking permission, or looking for recognition or praise or anything. I just wanted to know if there are any other Moonblessed out there who've joined, or anyone else who's on the younger end of their application range who's looking to take the exam. My combat skills are good, and I've been studying medicine, but it's not just about how well you fight or if you can set a broken leg, here. I'd like to hear from others who've already joined about what to expect, and what else I should be studying. And if there's anyone else who's planning on joining, too, maybe we can train together. Let me know.

[And after one last pause and a brief flicker of what looks like hesitation, he shrugs a shoulder and adds one last thing, before the video ends:]

...I'm Shouto. If we haven't met, yet.

audio | writing this post made me want pie

[spah]

[what's up everybody, your texan boy is here

the audio starts with a telltale flick of a lighter, followed not long after by an exhale from the first drag of a cigarette]

You know what's a damn shame?

I been here a year and I still ain't found anywhere that makes decent pecan pie.

I know I can always make my own. Reckon I can't complain too much about not findin' hometown cookin' on an alien planet, but... mhn. Still miss that diner down on 71 towards Austin. Mateo made pie so good you'd climb a dang power pole for seconds.

General poll, 'cause I got nothin' better to do. You miss any kinda food from home? Diner cookin', mama's cookin', anything.

I've never been on camera before.

[ The woman with the 50's bob and red lipstick smiles a little nervously, but it's friendly nonetheless. ]

Uh, hi. I'm Virginia Johnson. Another new arrival.

[ She gives a small wave. ]

So, this place is pretty weird to a girl from Missouri, but possibly the thing that surprised me the most is, well... the permissiveness. The people in this world seem to talk about sex openly, with no shame. Where I come from, most people are a lot more squeamish about it - even Puritanical. My partner and I were trying to change that, but it wasn't going too well.

I suppose my question is, are there others who've had similar experiences on arriving here? Or are these other worlds you come from more like this one, in that regard?

[ She hesitates a moment, glancing to one side. ]

Also, does anyone have a 16 mm film projector?
