Truth to be told, when Koda woke up, it was a disorienting thing.

He almost literally busted out of his pod in a wild panic, the sensation of ice creeping from his body a familiar one. The cold of the awakening caverns made him hunch over in a nervous way. Where was Kendall? Where was Keeper? Chase? Anyone?

He listened to the hologram, before straightening up. Another world? Like another Ranger World?

Clutching his chest, he checked it and found his Blue Energem sitting there. Another motion and he drew his Dino Blaster. And his Dino Sword. So everything was here. He could even sense the presence of the Stegosaurus within him. So his Zord made it too? Kendall said they follow him anywhere, and it had helped him in the past.

COLD was another thing, as he stumbled out the cavern into the cool of the weather. Food and fire, food and fire is first. Dog not good eating. Chase told him not to eat pets.

So, finding his money, he stumbled into the first burger place and slapped his money down. All of it. "Bronto... burger, rare please." He said.

Twenty minutes later, Koda had managed to obtain three or four burgers, and the rest of the cash was pocketed safely. Now for fire.

Climbing a nearby tree, he ripped the branches free and piled them up. A little shoestring which he didn't wear shoes cause he didn't like shoes later, and he was working fire into a roaring flame in the middle of the park.

"Is... not as cold as home," said Koda thoughtfully. Pulling out his Dino Comm, he got nothing but static. But maybe the other device...

[The video is upside down as Koda waves.]

Is very nice... meet you all. I... am Koda, I come from Earth.

Forgive my speak, I am caveman, from year 100,000. I am looking for Kendall. Chase. Many others. 9 in all. Plus alien, named Keeper.

Is there more fuel for fire? It is very cold today. No cave for shelter.

So. Many. NPCs.

They weren't even People of the Land, but the HUD was telling her there was a ton of NPCs here. And there was also a lot of Adventurers, and she peered at each and every screen for a moment before grinning. "Well, nothing to do but to find out if my guild is here!"

Scrolling through her friend list however made Tetra scowl. He grumbled a little, poking at it. "C'mon, it says they're all online but I can't Voice Chat with them!"

Poking her friend list over and over, he grumbled a little. "This sucks. Aw well, time to find work I think! I think an Idol should do!"

Humming as she skipped along, Tetra let magic flow as music accompaniment followed him everywhere.

Tetra was Tetra after all.

Hi hi~! It's Tetra! I'm really glad to be here, and I'm your favorite idol on stage! It's time to have fun and enjoy yourselves!

[She struck a pose with a giggle.] And if you get beat up, your favorite idol will be able to cast magic! Honest to goodness real life magic! I'm a two-in-one idol cleric!

So, donate all of your cheers to me! Seeya!

[gauntlet thrown Eli and Nico]

[Oh look!

It's Cecil! He's been busy, and that's not an excuse. He really, really has been very, very busy. Mayor, as it turns out, is kind of a hard job who'd have thunk it.

STILL, he's slowly learning how to get his social life to balance with the endless cavalcade of paperwork that has become his entire life's purpose now]

Good morning!

I apologize for not being on the air recently, things have been a bit hectic considering the past few weeks and their events. I hope everyone enjoyed their Valentines day!

I have an announcement!

I'm a man of my word, Attleton, and I ran on a platform that promised a pizza party. Well, we are going to have one! I'll be making motions to rent space in the Attleton University for it.

How about next Saturday? Does that work for everyone?

[CECIL THAT IS NOT HOW PUBLIC EVENTS WORK YOU DON'T TAKE A POLL FOR WHENS GOOD]

Oh! Concerning the recently stated rumor going around.... No, donkeys are still not allowed to sleep in the bathtubs in Attleton. Please construct a proper pen and holding area for your equidae.

[PRIVATE to CASSIAN ANDOR]

Mr. Andor, if you don't mind, I'd love to have a chance to speak with you! It's nothing bad, I promise.

[Maybe you're looking for a cake or maybe you're just visiting Pan's Grocery store for more general supplies and merchandise but either way it may be noticed that there's now a human-sized purple monster working there. He's currently behind the counter where the cakes are displayed; icing or frosting more cakes, adding sprinkles and decorating them with all four arms keeping busy. Throughout the day there may be a birthday cake or a wedding cake or even some cupcakes being made. He's not trying to draw attention to himself but he sticks out anyway. Come and browse or buy a cake!]

[CW for aftermath of torture]

[A petite blonde is wringing water out of her hair when she's spotted. A wand is perched behind one ear and the jewelry will be a beacon for her friends, a pair of earrings made out of what look like radishes. The clothes don't look to be in the best of shape along with the girl wearing them, but she speaks. Thankfully thanks to knowing some of the Muggle world she figures out the device rather quickly.]

Compared to before this has to be a picnic to borrow the expression? But got the video speech and well a next move would be useful, for now I'm craving tea and chips. So directions to a pub would help? [Luna also shivers, she's freezing.]

[public video]

I take it you have all received one of these mysterious tickets.

[ Cassian holds up his ticket. ]

I know they were delivered to my house easily bypassing all our security systems. With it just being an envelope, at least we didn't have a bomb scare this time.

I would like to hear your theories, no matter how far-fetched.


[private text to Attleton Deputies, in the aftermath of Marco's flaming video]

Attleton team please take note: if any of you EVER pull a stunt such as Everglade's Deputy Marco I'm going to give you cement shoes myself. I don't care for reasons or excuses or your feelings. The self-control to keep from terrorizing your own city is the bare minimum of qualifications for this job.

I know you're better than that. I trust you. You did well when K-2SO was dead and I was out of commission. I'm just saying this to make clear that standards of what is permissible haven't changed in Attleton.

Come to my office at your convenience, I have an extra task for all of you.


[action, Maribelle's office, Everglade]

[ There is also a delivery of brownies, from the stash in the Attleton Guardian's office, delivered to Maribelle's office.

A short note accompanies the treat, saying]
Thank you for the files
Andor

[On the screen appears an absolutely ordinary looking young woman. Light brown hair with just a hint of frizz to it, a furrowed brow and eyes that swivel between the device in her hand, the map she retrieved from the magazine stand and the entrance to the cave behind her. She is wearing the standard necklace, though her stone appears to shimmer like peacock feathers, with the dominant color changing depending on lighting. For those close enough to hear, they might catch shards of what is clearly a muttered conversation to herself.]

"This is all highly irregular. I thought we had got rid of all the secret magical portals that go nowhere. And this device... it looks just like the one Dad was raving about the last time I spoke to him. Something about a new invention from Japan." 

[The look on her face appears to change from confused to mildly annoyed.]

"Right. I'd best get some answers before someone gets hurt. I'm sure the Accidental Magic Reversal Squad will want to know about this. Now, where is the nearest library?"
