Literally! Well, as close as you can get without the Earth being engulfed in burning plasma. That would be bad.
I'm Amaterasu. Normally I'd have an envoy for this sort of thing, but he's not here so we'll have to make due. Probably for the best, he can be something of an acquired taste.

How does one celebrate an anniversary?
Are there gifts that have a particular meaning?

[Despite aiming for semi-anonymity, Danny goes with using his voice instead of text. Because if he has to type this and give himself the chance to overthink things, it might never happen.
The mic picks up the light sound of wind, and when he speaks up, Danny's not putting in the effort to change his voice, beyond playing down his slight New York accent and shifting his tone to something softer and more professional. It's a stark difference from his usual laid-back drawl, but the kid's naturally scratchy voice is still easy enough to recognize.]
So...did anyone else who caught Fantastic's speech find that a little worrying?
For anyone who was caught in the Confluence, or just fell from the sky, welcome, or welcome back. Here's what you missed.
[A recording of Fantastic's speech starts playing. Tinny and rough, like it's coming from one speaker picking up another. It sounds awful scripted for a "heart-felt" speech. Not meant to comfort or inspire confidence but to rally soldiers. The kind of speech Danny became familiar with when he was far too young. And when he'd heard it coming from Fantastic, it settled in his stomach like lead.]
You can probably find a better version of that online, but this gives the gist.
Can't say I'm crazy about him talking to us like we're a bunch of soldiers, but then, I'm guessing that speech wasn't actually for us.
Maybe I'm just being paranoid, but I have a bad feeling that if this guy gets to be the Alliance leader, the way he wants everyone to think he already is, things might get worse for us.

I came from a world that doesn't have magic, so everything I know about it could barely fill a paragraph. I'm assuming this is some sort of spell.
On average, how often do things like this last?

So say hypothetically an encounter with a strange Meta you don't know led to you teleporting into the middle of what looks to be a barren wasteland in the middle of what your GPS says is some sort of canyon in Arizona.
And say that hypothetically you aren't equipped to get back to civilization at the moment and the next town is something like an hour and a half walk away.
And hypothetically you don't have water on you or food.
Um, how would you get out of this situation?

Oct. 2nd, 2022 08:28 pma_gaggle_of_ghostiesThere are two matters that need addressing. One is likely more urgent than the other, but that does not mean I don't believe it's in our best interest to handle both as soon as possible.
As for the first matter: Doctor Strange and I would greatly appreciate anyone familiar with magic, sorcery, or whatever else you may call it in your world to assist in a particularly worrisome matter that has come to our attention. I won't share much here, but the short version is that there's a surprisingly large and well established cult that's gone and done something we'd very much like to put a stop to before it becomes a problem...specifically, everyone's problem. If you're interested and willing to assist, contact Stephen Strange. He'll also be the one to handle transportation, if necessary.
As for myself, I'd appreciate some assistance from anyone part of the Alliance, or at least anyone who has sway with its existing members. Given the potential for this matter to become bigger than anything we can handle ourselves, it wouldn't hurt to keep them apprised of the situation as well. Considering my refusal to align myself with any of the existing factions, among other factors, I doubt they'd treat anything I have to share seriously enough to ensure something is actually done about it. And having at least one guild prepared to serve as reinforcements should worst come to worst wouldn't hurt.
[And, being honest, by now he had such a distrust--and a rather pronounced distaste--for the established order of things that it meant he wasn't really in a position to handle that part of things entirely on his own. He'd need help getting his foot in the door. By himself, he'd be lucky to go five minutes without the Alliance calling security or having to mind trick half the Alliance personnel between the door and the nearest briefing room.]
As for the other matter: Anyone with a background in engineering--particularly one that involves advanced/alien technology or telecommunications--I would appreciate your assistance in a particular project I think could prove beneficial to those of us pulled here from other universes. Given just how dramatically the feelings toward our presence have shifted in such a short span of time, I think it would be best to prepare an alternative communications network for ourselves. One not reliant on remaining in the good graces of the powers that be, or on existing infrastructure, and especially one that could be easily kept away from any prying eyes that might wish us harm.
I have a possible solution in mind, including suitable devices to be studied and--if possible--replicated, but I require more specialized expertise for there to be any chance of it being implemented. As well as the means to produce whatever is needed for it to become operational. Anyone interested in assisting with that endeavor can contact me directly. And don't worry about transportation--I can retrieve anyone who doesn't have access to the guild teleporters, it just won't be as fast or efficiently as Strange can. It would, however, mean you could begin work immediately.
I look forward to your cooperation.

I'm looking for more information outside the basic brochures on the guilds. While remaining independent would be preferred, there are certain issues that need to be monitored, and the guilds seem like they might have the resources needed.
Information from those who are or been previously involved with the guilds would be incredibly useful to make a final decision.

Are there any experts in nanomachines in this world? If so, where might I find them?
I was recently brought here from another world, and I'd like to get in front of a potential issue before it actually becomes one.
