[Broke as Rose might be, valentines day is always made out to be such a Big Thing. Unfortunately, Rose also has to work - which is why, when Kanaya wakes up she will discover (2) green roses, (1) valentines day card and (1) tiny gift, wrapped in lavender.
Inside, the card reads: To my valentine, I owe you one breakfast in bed ( ;) ). Love, Rose.
Inside the gift, there is a (tiny heart; one long chain) necklace. ]

[ It's been days since she last tried calling. Renee doesn't expect a response anymore, but she leaves one last message anyway.
There's a beat of silence, and then: ]
Listen. I'm sorry, okay? I'm sorry.
[ A low, exhausted exhale before she hangs up. ]

Lady Maryam,
I do not wish to be a bother, but I have been informed that you offer services as a seamstress. As I have found myself in this strange place without a wardrobe save for the clothes on my back, which are rather ill-suited for the climate, I would be indebted to you if I could purchase some garments. I will gladly pay you for your trouble. Please do respond if you can assist with my dilemma.
Sincerely,
Lady Sansa Stark

This is an odd question, but are most dog collars and harnesses repairable?
[There would have been a previous notice that Kate is trying to compile other porter meeting notes before providing Kanaya with her full and complete conclusions. This would have come in early August. Unfortunately, Kate wouldn't have shown her work off by then.
The report itself comes mailed, with a tiny envelope with a flash drive in it. The flash drive has a password with the hint of 3/10/2014 and the timestamp 12:51 AM EST. With some cracking, it will lead to this conversation, and the hint is only an F. Not "Fe." That might be too obvious. (The eventual password is "tonystark.") Once this is bypassed because Kate didn't want to seem lazy, the report within shows the compilation over the last few months.]
• De Chima, Maurtia Falls, Nonah. All names of Roman Fates. Present BEFORE Lachesis. Why? Unclear.
• The history of the imPorts from before grants no reason to believe that there was outside interference. "Interference" being that indicated by Lachesis' involvement. This involvement has been detailed numerous times. (Kanaya, you experienced it first hand.) Reason to believe potential connection between Fates and government for this reason. This isn't just a general leap of information or conclusions. These specific cities are unique to this world. My interdimensional experience says that unique fixtures such as these are likely bound to be key to the overall shift in the world differences. Does that mean the previous world where people came from is a Mayfly dimension, or are they unique to one another? Understanding is that none of these cities had the same weight back home.
• Nature of Vulcanus also different. But Vulcanus isn't a world determining attribute, but it is uniquely shared. Why? No connections to Vulcanus since the second swearing-in event. Reason to believe it's unimportant or requires more research.
• Either way, through not ignoring Vulcanus' existence, they helped throw a government event. Things tie back to the government, rather than the other way around.
• The government was also prepared for our arrival. Why is that? Lachesis did wake up and give notice, apparently, but many of these events take planning. Unsure if this is a lead.
• Two individuals entered the porters and came out with the following information:
From the (previous) Commander Hange Zoe:
- The Porter itself doesn't provide any background information on the imPorts it brings in, so what's in their files is all that the government has access to. Whether that information exists somewhere currently inaccessible within the Porter is unknown.
(Where is the information coming from, then? Between this and the lack of precognition, it's unclear. Wires crossing?)
- The porter does not seem to display precognitive abilities, but some of the technicians theorize it may have dormant abilities it is choosing not to display.
- In the past it was possible to send people home at their request, although since the recent Porter changes that occurred in January it has been behaving irregularly. People being brought in and then sent home is currently classified as a malfunction.
- After the Porter was synched up to by a sentient and nearly omnipotent program known as Lachesis, it has been able to instantaneously "scan" each imPort brought in through means still unknown and produce basic information such as their names and abilities. It is theorized but still undetermined this may be achieved by some sort of DNA reading or brain scanning.
- It is thought that the radiation the Porter gives off is what gives imPorts their powers (or changes them, or allows them to keep them).
- The technology in this world, Porter not included, has not yet advanced enough to the point of being able to give civilian powers. The Porter itself appears either disinterested or also incapable of this, and the Porter specialist Moira Nomos's hypothesis is that people native to this world are immune and incompatible with the Porter's radiation. Why this world is considered important by the Porter is still unknown.
- The Sidereal technology is very similar to virtual reality, but on more of an "astral plane" level than a truly virtual one. The "Quantum Zone" exists separately from said technology and is said to be a spiritual plane that exists directly above the normal one, though not "high" enough to completely separate the soul from the body.
From Billy Kaplan:
• Minor magic works around the porter. It does not automatically nullify powers.
• I have a recording of the porter, but unfortunately, I'm not willing to share it at this time.
• The other porters are man-made. Still, why Fates names? Unclear. Theories: perhaps why Lachesis was brought here? Perhaps unclear? Names of government officials all mysteriously mythological. Not a HUGE conclusion.
Lachesis could access the other three porters, but has not made an appearanc since bringing imPorts into this universe. No sign of Atropos or Clothos, either.
It's assumed that Lachesis chose this world because of the limited time. Given the previous world that also housed imPorts (failed imPorts?), this seems as if it's not entirely unlikely. ImPorts are a commonality between worlds.
Commonalities between imPort worlds:
· Fates (and related themes)
· ImPorts being requested to be heroes (perhaps heroes in the mythological sense? This is just a thought, not a conclusion I leaped to, Kanaya.)
· Vulcanus. (This is at least three worlds?)
· Citizens may be from each other's worlds, but none with imPorts. (This is unconfirmed, but seems to be the case so far.)
Oddity of this world in comparison to other imPort worlds:
· Very little Fate involvement in every day affairs? Directly visible.
• The porter doesn't respond to flirting. (This was Loki's idea!)
• Previous imPort information: All imPorts, once they gained control over the porter, were granted the opportunity to return home upon arrival. If you were dead in your universe or wanted a change of pace or thought this world needed some help, you could stick around. If you turned up and saw no need to help this world, you could leave. The imPort deaths were what led to the removal of them from this world, though that seems highly suspect. It is suspect because there are numbers with the Hornets situation that are not adding up. Something is missing from the explanations, but I don't know what.
• In connection, Peter Narga exploration got stalled. A friend of a friend got ported out. Considering other options.
• It goes without saying, but Captain Holiday is low on the chain of command. The paintball incident came down as a directive from above. They see no need to do that again. (Got what they were looking for?)
Conclusions: This is disconnected, but there aren't any solid leads on any information at the moment. I think looking into the Narga matter is of the utmost importance right now, but colleagues of mine have insisted that I don't involve myself. Yeah, it limits my investigation a bit.

Recently returned from a port out.

[She's making tea, when she decides she needs to tell Kanaya about Hobgoblin's persistence. It's been weighing on her mind for weeks; the uncertainty of Hobgoblin's continued presence has had Rose on edge, even in her day to day goings on. In class, she glances out the windows with furrowed brows. When getting coffee, she glances over her shoulder. Spider-Man knows her identity, why not her new friend too?
Norman - Norman is a thought for another time. It's an avenue she should take, but Kanaya's been good at gathering sightings. Spider-Man may know something, but she's far too reluctant to approach him. Not after practically selling him out to Norman.
She takes two mugs and makes her way to Kanaya. She sits at the edge of their couch, glances towards the hallway, hands Kanaya a mug and then, in a quiet voice: ]
We need to talk.
[Except, that sounds fairly like a break-up. ]
Err - about the goblin issue. And something else.

Kanaya, do you have an Earth calendar equivalent birthday?
Lovely - need you to do something for me. Guess there's some sort of holiday this month; news to me. [Greed takes a moment to exhale on his end and the tap-tap-tapping of his smoke is made obvious when his knuckle collides with the side of a porcelain tray.] But it looks like it'll be good for business. I usually wouldn't ask, but since you've been here longer, I figured you'd know this a little better.
See if you can get something on the network. It's the 31st, right? [He says, almost absently.] Our ghost friend gave me the run down. Feel free to find a decorator, or whatever it is they do. Eh-
[Thunk goes a heel, thunk goes another.] I've got a supplier for the liquor already on hand.
Whatever else you can think of, I'll leave it to you. Guess this is some sort of costume thing and you seem like an expert. [Clothing, right? Eh, must be similar.]
[Ice rattles on his side of the line and Greed eases into a groan as rolls his shoulder back.] Ah- right. We'll be open from three in the afternoon to six in the morning. If you need anything else, you know where to find me.
[With that, there's a click.] "Message ended."

hey. kanaya? it's edward. greed told me to get in touch with you about work?
Three things:
(1) I spoke with Spider-Man. It was emotionally exhausting but worth it.
(2) I am going to get knee-deep into this 'Hornets' business. That is to say, I am finally being a productive member of society. May need you to proof-read a speech I am planning to the network, may not. Maybe simple is the best way to go: 'hello yes, I can help. I can see many things all of them helpful. Call me.'
(3) How do I change my font color? I am ready to re-embrace my true self. Black, while ultimately the color of my eternal soul, is terribly boring.
SUPER BONUS: (4) I love you.

Kanaya, Harold broke his leg yesterday skateboarding. I've asked Houka to step in as my dance partner next weekend. He's asking me to:
Which I assume has something to do with the whole creepy exposition dance mockery stupidity from September.
"Please inform Kanaya that I'm going to be your dance partner, and be sure to mention that you are the one that asked me."
