[ v i d e o ] ☠ feb 17 ☠ early afternoon

Greetings everyone. Several have been asking about BREW and it has been decided to allow all of the guests an opportunity to see and approach the Demon Tool.

[he's personally not so keen about it since past events, but it was better this way. it would allay some fears and give opportunity for others to ask questions.]

It will occur tomorrow afternoon at two o'clock in the Shibusen gymnasium and will be open until four. After that, I will be returning it to its proper and secured place. The next time it will be available has not been determined and I make no guarantees that another viewing will happen. Therefore, if you are curious then this will be your only chance.

[and anyone can tell by his tone and expression that he is dead serious about this.]

I will be repeating this tomorrow, but there are a few things I'd like to tell everyone to keep in mind. You will be able to approach and touch it, but I highly advise that no one try to attack or damage it. Not only will you do nothing to BREW, but you can gravely injure yourself or your Weapon.

Security will be in place and I will also be personally overseeing and standing by BREW. Needless to say, no one should try to steal it, but if anyone tries—[eyes narrow.]—I will not hesitate to shoot you down myself.

[and for those who saw the previous stunt with Soul and Black☆Star just the other day, they should know he is dead serious.

and then he lightens up a little.]

There will be ample opportunity to ask questions tomorrow, but if there is something you'd like to know, you are welcome to ask them now.

[FILTER TO: Roy, Riza, Kotetsu, Barnaby, and Mello]

I believe you all were chosen to help with the security, correct? I just wanted to give you my thanks and if you have any questions about tomorrow you are more than welcome to ask.

[FILTER TO: NPC CREW]

I just wanted to reaffirm who will be there tomorrow. After what happened back in November, I'd rather not have a repeat.

Do you need more people? I think I can drop by if you need another helping hand.

To be honest I wouldn't mind having the extra help.

Okay, I'll come by then. Anything you've got in mind?

[muses.]

Keep your Soul Perception on and just keep an eye out for any that may cause trouble or seem out of place.

[nods]

Will do. Hopefully it'll be smooth sailing the whole time.

Only a fool would try to steal BREW with all of us around it, but I'm not willing to take that chance. [not after that incident in November.]

My only fear is that we may be attacked during it.

It'd be kind of stupid for us to be so lax after... well, everything. Between those who are unhappy about being here, and our enemies who'd want to get their hands on it, I think I will be surprised if it's completely calm.

[sighs.]

Exactly... But I hope this will at least help alleviate and answer some questions that the current populace may have about BREW, which I know is part of the problem.

There's just too many unknowns right now.

Yeah. I just wish there was an easier way to get some answers, ourselves, but I'm sure that's a sentiment everyone feels.

[there's a small pause before he answers again.]

I've considered going back out to the Lost Island where we first found BREW.

-- ? Do you think there's some kind of clue there?

We saw Eibon there, remember? And it was where BREW was constructed. There must be something still in that magnetic field that could help.

I remember, but... I'd assume the explosion that happened there would have wiped out most of everything. It's entirely possible that something was left behind, though... After all, no one can really stick around for too long because of that magnetic field.

For a normal human, no. But I would be able to stay for a little longer due to my being a death god, and I have no idea how the guests would be affected by the field.

The only problem is I can't leave Death City.

[and he looks very frustrated by it. if he could find Eibon...if he could see maybe where he was going, to get into that place before it exploded, maybe, just maybe... even the littlest of clues to send them to another direction. maybe not even related to BREW at all, but...]

What if it was a covert mission? Perhaps it wouldn't be wise to let everyone know at large you're travelling out there on your own, but we should be able to hold our ground for a few days.

[...what.]

You want me to actually leave Death City unannounced and leave it exposed to the Madness? Are you insane?

We're not completely helpless, you know! There's no way a normal human would last long in there, but so far it's the only lead we've got.

But it won't matter how strong you are if everyone is infected with Madness. It might be fine for a few days, but if I'm out there too long or if something happens to delay my return, then what?

What makes you so certain that will happen just because you step foot out of the city for a few days? You can rely on us better than that! If anything happens, we'll do what we've always done before, and that's fight with what we've got.

I know I can rely on all of you, but I don't want to leave you all, either. What kind of leader would I be if I'm not there to help protect his own city—his own people and friends?

It's not that I don't know how you feel... But, just trust us, okay? Besides, I know you want to go back there for anything that will help us progress with this solving this entire ordeal.

...

[dammit. he wants to go but he doesn't want to leave everyone either. so he's just going to not respond, still conflicted.]

-- Ugh, jeez! Do I have to kick you out of here myself?!

You know that would be impossible.

I don't care! Honestly, I wish I could go myself if only to spare us the trouble.
