[The screen is filled with a petite cake. Not just any petite cake, but possibly one of the most ridiculously overdecorated cakes ever. Just to start with, there're pink frosting and red ribbons made out of candy. As well as candy pumpkins. And then there're the miniature candy gingerbread house atop, the candy canes sticking out all over and... let's just say that it looks like someone tried to cram as much candy onto and into the cake as they could, and then added a few more beyond that.]

Look, look! It's the Lambdadelta cake. Isn't it so wonderfully delicious looking? I want to eat it all right now!

((From this thread.))

[Coulson is staring intently at the computer screen. Very intently. In fact, this may be the most serious that he's ever looked -- which is saying something. The man doesn't do much that isn't serious.]

Almost...

[The word is muttered to himself, brow furrowed.] Just about... There!

[And now, seriousness is replaced with absolute triumph. A kid who just got exactly what he asked for from Santa. Fiddling and a sheet prints. It's an order confirmation, straight off of eBay, winning bid. As he holds it up to the light read it's quite visible: Complete series: Captain America trading cards, original printing, near mint condition.

There's a bit of a grin starting on his face as he suddenly realizes he's sharing this. The expression fades entirely, and he pauses.]

...this is research. [And then he hurries to turn the video off.]

Hi everyone! My name is Yukishiro Honoka, and I'm new to this community here. I'm really excited to be part of something like this, even though up until yesterday I didn't even think it was possible for there to basically be an internet that spans different worlds

But even so, I'm really excited to be here, and I'm really excited to see what kind of knowledge is available here. The internet makes it a lot easier to research and learn about new things, so I can't wait to see what kind of knowledge other worlds have that mine doesn't.

So... I guess I might want to start that by asking a question, shouldn't I? So, everyone, what type of world do you all come from?

[ You want to see some violent action, ladies and gentleman? Of course you do.

SO BAM! A warehouse door, a current base for enemy forces, gets kicked open by Captain America, who is in a significantly more badass version of that silly costume you might have seen earlier. He's up front with a circular shield that's reflecting bullets, followed by his team of six that are all armed to the teeth and hardly missing a shot.

They go in guns blazing and you think gee they are totally outmatched in there? because there are way more than seven men on the enemy side BUT NOPE. They're cleaning the place out.

There's enemies up on a ledge throwing grenades down into the area. MOVE MOVE MOVE. Steve catches one and throws it back up there. Bucky totally snipes the rest down. THEN- ]

10 o'clock Captain, they're making a run for it! [ How do you stop running guys? THROW A SHIELD AT THEM. He throws it towards the wall and it bounces off, knocking into one head -- the next-- off the wall again --

It's like pinball.

Bing bang boom. Everybody's down. ]

[re-routed from a guitar discussion board by the community]

Hi. I'm new to this forum, but the bloggers at musicpro.com said this was a good place to ask for recommendations for music books and stuff. I'm eleven and I've been playing for three years, but I just teach myself. Usually I make up my own songs or figure chords out on my own, but if anyone knows about any good songbooks that I could use for practice, that'd be cool.

Thanks.

Edit: If you come here a lot, can you please fill out my survey?

[A little bit after the original video post there is a slight edit.]

What is... I didn't post this.

[Breakdown looks uncommonly unnerved by this, though he seems to be trying to mask it with anger.]

Okay guys. I've got something serious to talk about today. Shocking, I know.

For any of you out there who are friends with Steve Rogers there's something you should probably know. He's from the same world as me, but from the past. He's basically a living legend here but the history books have him suddenly disappearing one day.

The public doesn't know the details, probably some government cover-up, but I can only guess something bad happened.

Given that he's got a lot of friends here, I figure none of you want to see the big guy go. With all of the crazy powers and worldhops and whatever that we've got here at the community, there's got to be some way to help him out. I've already talked to this Rory guy and he's all for helping. Anyone else in?
