[ Hi so here's a video of this asshole sitting on the floor of her moonbase room, looking... messily festive. She's got a few strings of silver tinsel randomly wrapped around her head and shoulders, a string of blinking, multi coloured lights hanging over her wings, and there appears to be a snowman sticker stuck to her cheek. ]

Right so I've been packin' shit up and I realized I never said hey fuck you guys like I should've, so hey fuck you guys, especially you Earthy folk 'cause not a single one of you fucks told me about department stores. I mean fuckin' come on, look at all the shit they have -

[ She tilts the camera to the floor around her and wow yeah she sure has been robbing Walmarts. Actually you can't even see the floor itself, it's just... stuff, literally everywhere, with barely a thing in her suitcase (which still has all the tags on it) that's just laying there among the pile, open and abandoned. Apollo then sets the tablet back down on the bed so she can once again have her hands free. ]

Hey by the way, Donny and medfriends, got the shit you wanted. Got uh, little hammered there for a bit and I mighta temporarily lost the damn bag I put it all in but I got it again! You assholes still on the moon or didya take off to snowland already? And actually y'know what, speakin' of snowland, I'm gonna be real sweet and letcha haaaaave [ rustle rustle ] some of these too! ( an ooc but totally not ic cut, JUST IN CASE since she's gonna be real vulgar for a second here sorry )



By hey seriously it looks really goddamn cold down there and Metalhead ate the gloves I stole, anyone wanna help a tropical girl out and gimme somethin' to keep my fingers from freezin' the fuck off?

Hey everyone.

First, if anyone here knew Ed Elric, he's left us for home. He was my lab partner and friend for the last few months, and I'm going to miss him.

Second: this cold isn't exactly the best environment for plant growth, but plants are an important food group for most of us. I've brought some spectrum lamps for plant growth back from Hydroponics on the base, along with some I built myself. There should be enough to power a small indoor agriculture operation for a while, and I'm working on more with my limited supplies.

Third: I'm also working on compact heaters if any of you ended up in unheated residences. The process is slow without supplies or collaborators, but if current progress holds, five should be ready within the week.

[Seviilia is hardly fit for any sort of video communication, and so her ghostly tones come across the network mostly in monotone, absent of her usual sadistic brand of glee. Its been a tough month in lockdown.

But she's been busy the past twenty four hours with Koltira Paroleweaver. No sense in wasting resources.]

Should anyone have need of fur, I am in possession of excess.

You will need to bring your own skinning knife. You are of course welcome to the meat as well, but I would not suggest harvesting any of it unless you are capable of cleansing disease.

If you head south from the landing point, I am not difficult to miss.

[ooc: Open log here.]

[The voice that comes through is clear, concise, and well-practiced. There's a slight metallic flange to it, matching the robotic life form it belonged to.]

Terror is not an entirely unexpected response at seeing a one of my kind, but you need not fear me if you offer your guests proper respect. I hail from the planet Cybertron, and my name is Nova Prime.

I have been informed that you are in need of guidance and defense from a force that's consumed most of this world, and have agreed to assist on your behalf. I can lend my experience in governance and war where I am truly needed.

[He'll be playing nice. For the time being.]

Any Cybertronian that is also trapped on this planet can contact this device, so we may properly acquaint.

Some time ago, there was a discussion about remaining on the moon instead of returning to Exsilium. [The tauren's words are punctuated by hooves crunching on snow, and the soft sound of something being dragged.]

I believe this is a topic that we should revisit. [The dragging noise stops, and a....large-cow-sitting-down noise occurs.]

The land is now even harsher than it was before, and the natives take less kindly to us as well...particularly those of us who are non-human. And the moon base offers safety - for us and those we are here to help. I realize that we have had...difficulties...being in that confined structure, but it should be much easier now that we can come down, if we need to.

[A pause.] In addition, I am not certain...I am not certain what will happen to us if we are able to change Exsilium back to the one we remember. This new place...it is obviously very different. It feels almost as if the planet moved into another timeway, while we on the moon stayed....unaffected.

[Another pause.] I....'m sorry, I do not understand time traveling well. But, anyway...the moon base. Let us talk?

The reports seem to be mixed. Have those of you who have returned found yourselves safe places and warm clothing? Some have offered already; I should hope the message has reached those in need.

I'm not certain of what remaining here could be of use to you Earthside, but it can be brought when I join you. But not just yet.

[a beat.]

The people...

What are they like now?

So another month, another batch of poor lost souls that are wondering what did they do to deserve this fate. Kinda sucks huh? At least we're going back down, although apparently we're not in Kansas anymore.

[ Here she takes a moment to take a little breath. ]

I mean, we weren't in Kansas to begin with, but hopefully at least half of you will get the reference, or I'll be a very sad Ella. While we're on introductions though, this is Ella Ellis speaking, Doer of Things, Helper of the Needy, God of Awesome. I also make a mean mac & cheese, by the way.

[ At least she's grown comfortable talking through the tablet? Is that even a good thing? ]

Anyway, I plan to remain in the Moon Base until the twentieth or so, so if anyone around needs something done, let me know. For the new kids that means I can make most things out of thin air, and I'm being rather literal here. For the old folks, well, you either believe me by now or you don't.

[ Ella then proceeds to drum on the tablet's surface for a solid minute. ]

Oh, I almost forgot: How do you guys celebrate Christmas? Hanukkah? The equivalent I'm obviously missing? I thought it would be cool to make pines or seeds to grow and plant them somewhere, but then I realized not everyone might know about it. Then it hit me that me being me, this should probably freak me out in so many levels you don't even know, but if you don't mention the whole religious implications, I sure won't.

Anyway, I'm out of things to say. Stay safe, stay sane, and always wash your hands after using the toilet.

Ella out~
