It had been quite awhile since that mission had started and Vivio hadn't heard hide nor hair of them since that time. It did worry her quite a bit, especially after that message and Allenby's attempt to help them. For the moment, though, she needed something to distract herself with. Anything, really!

To that end, Vivio had made herself at home in her little workplace at the Media Library, reading various things she randomly picked up from the files across the room. Seeing as she has a big set of chips on a table nearby, Vivio's either intent on reading everything she can, or reading herself to sleep.

Care to bother her?

Azula hadn't had alot of luck with the Sensoriums before, typically they reflected her own shattered psych and that was miserable for her on every level.

But with Zuko's help sucker Azula had found ways to calm her mind when it began whirling too fast.

It was all about fire, the life giver, the destroyer. The fire inside her that kept her going.

And so she entered the Sensorium today with a controlled confident walk and brought the world up around her.

Fire Nation Capital during the Fire Days Festival had always been one of Azula's favorite times in the past. She could walk through the festival with respect and without fear. People moved to let her pass, she never had to stand in line for the things she wanted to buy and the entertainment was always top class.

And it didn't hurt that she had gone to more then a few of these with Mai and Ty Lee.

Still this recreation didn't fill her with the warmth and nostalgia she had been hoping for. She moved through the crowd of simulations quietly and felt something else, something different and all together unpleasant.

Regret? Homesick?

The stalls of colorful masks and puppets, spicy food and beautiful trinkets did little distract her from this and she turned her eyes to the sky as beautiful golden paper lanterns glistened and began to lift into the sky powered by the flames of her people.

"How many of you even wondered where I vanished to?" She wondered out loud though none of them made notice. "Did even one of you object to his rule? Or were you all too pathetic and cowardly to even consider getting involved in your own futures?"

She looked back to the lights in the sky and tried to focus on the fire again. Even if this simulation wasn't pleasing her she wouldn't let her own delicate mental state ruin her festival.

"Ifrit, can I have a ginger ale, please?"
"~You can, but you said to remind you we were warned against teleportation spells. There's one about a mile east~"
"Which way's east?"
"~To your left. Wait, you're seriously going to walk a miles to get a ginger ale?~"
"Sure. Why not? You can't give me any, right?"
"~Not without a teleportation spell. You know I can't create.~"
"So what can you still do? The Zap spells, right?"
"~Do you have to call them that. But yes. Offensive spells, anything destructive except ... this would be a lot easier explain if you knew a damned thing about magic.~"
"...You're right! I should learn more about magic! Maybe I can get lessons!"
And scampering Alex goes.

The Jedi Temple.

He really needed to propose the Magic Department move to the Tower of High Sorcery. It really made a lot more sense, didn't it?

Oh well.

An illusory sign out front said "Welcome New Applicants", along with a magic mouth that welcomed them and gave brief instructions to the office he had reluctantly claimed after deciding that no one would ever manage to properly find their way to his actual wizard's lab. Thus, behind a desk, he sat scribing a scroll and awaiting potential new members to the department's ranks.

The rest of the crew assembled on the Observation Deck to meet the latest editions to their numbers. After the revelation that their worlds are gone, many of them are even more eager to see people they knew from home.

Several people are set up near the doors to provide the new people with omnicoms and comm rings. New crew-mates might see a tall man in green armor and snake girl among their number. There are also several authoritative-looking figures ready to introduce themselves.

There's a lot to tell the new people. It's going to be a lot to take in.

[ooc: Only new characters and Command Staff can start new threads for introductions, to limit the number of threads. Everyone else, just tag in and have your guys greet the newbies.]
