[ video ] ☠ april 8 ☠ evening

[Kid is looking like he hasn’t slept in a while. that’s likely because he hasn’t. but even so, he has his usual cool front and is doing his best to hide it.]

Greetings everyone. For the recent arrivals, I’d like to formally introduce myself as the current Shinigami and leader of Death City, Death the Kid. I apologize for not being able to greet the new arrivals properly, but BREW’s activation was unexpected and went by unnoticed. Due to the small number of individuals that came through, it is believed that its power was small enough to not appear in the readings. But I’m sure you are confused as to the...state of this city. [his father’s city...wrecked again... the thought alone makes him give a small, haggard sigh before it's masked again.]

The past few days have been trying for all of us. As the others have reported, the damage to the city has been great and a few changes will have to be made to accommodate the refugees. However, that is not the point of this particular announcement. I do have some good news.

As a result of this mission, we were able to obtain the second witch soul necessary for Liz and Patti’s transformation to death scythes. [his expression softens here.] So I am very pleased to announce that they are now official death scythes.

[Patti’s presence in the room becomes apparent when she stomps past Kid, shouting emphatically.] TAKE THAT, YOU DAMN WITCH! HIYAAAHHH!! PYEW PYEW!! [She seems to be reenacting the fight in a dramatic, childish way.] BANG BANG BANG!! Oh, no! You’re beating me! Aaaah!! I NEED TO PROTECT DEATH CITY! RAAAAAHH!! TAKE THIS!!! [Patti continues this reenactment as she continues stomping around, out of range of Kid’s communicator.]

[Liz is the middle ground between Patti and Kid: clearly pleased with the world but not quite as energetic as her sister. It all balances out. It took a while, but she wasn’t going to complain.]

Personally, I thought we needed more firearm death scythes anyway. It was starting to look like a close range-only club. [She’s giving a teasing smirk to show she’s kidding.]


[and Kid just has a bit of a dry look at their antics—well, Patti’s in particular—before he lets out a small sigh and continues.] There is great importance in this. With the madness levels reduced, I no longer need to maintain the barrier, and I can now go out and actively fight alongside everyone. With their power and mine combined, we’ll be an even greater threat against our enemies.

Some have questioned whether it is worth becoming a death scythe. All the Weapons born in this world will tell you yes. But their words and opinions are fundamentally different from all of you. You may still think otherwise, but you will see through our training the greater amount of power we will have.

I’d also like to mention that a pair of guests is actually very close to achieving death scythe status. Cloud and Sephiroth have been with us for about ten months and have acquired 89 souls. What will that mean for them and for those who are considering or debating about it? They will be able to go out into the world to handle more difficult and restricted missions, have more independence in what they can do, and will have higher access to information. Their strength will be of great benefit for all of us and in truth, they didn’t have to do this. But they chose to and will be properly recognized when the time comes. Of course I am not saying you must work to becoming death scythes. But as they’ve proven, it can be done for those who wish to do so.

[and now he really was worn out. for once his weapons may not have to literally drag him away from the desk to rest. but as always, he hides it and keeps that strong front.]

That is all. I thank everyone who has helped defend Death City during this surprise attack and for those who will help rebuild it.

Yeah, that sounds about right. [Unless you're poor Tsubaki. How long have she and Black*Star been working on collecting souls?]

I kinda was to be honest, but I don't mind a girl chat or girls' night out every once in a while. Or even just a shopping trip. Makes things a bit more normal.

[of course it probably helped if you had a somewhat steady partner which she didn't have yet...]

It's been a while since I've been on a nice shopping spree and now I actually have the proper currency. Actually, what sounds really nice is a spa day.

[Yeah, that helps a lot.]

Ooh, that sounds fun! Been a while since I went.
morecowbell: (grin)

[personal profile] morecowbell 2012-11-24 03:11 am (UTC)(link)
Do you by any chance know of a good day spa around town?
tallerbrooklyndevil: (Pleased)

[personal profile] tallerbrooklyndevil 2012-11-24 04:01 am (UTC)(link)
No spa, I'm afraid. But there's always the hot springs along with the Mortician's Touch salon.
morecowbell: (seriously?)

[personal profile] morecowbell 2012-11-24 04:11 am (UTC)(link)
No spa? [seriously is that even possible in a city this large?] Well... a hot spring sounds nice and I could use a good mani-pedi. The Mortician's Touch, huh? [these names...]
tallerbrooklyndevil: (Hands On Hips)

[personal profile] tallerbrooklyndevil 2012-11-24 04:17 am (UTC)(link)
Those are your best bets. Really, I keep hoping someone will open up a day spa. We ladies need a place to chill out for a while without the boys.

[You get used to the naming scheme.]
morecowbell: (manners)

[personal profile] morecowbell 2012-11-26 07:15 am (UTC)(link)
I know a lot about the spa business maybe I should just open one myself.
[only half kidding]

Well until then, I suppose I should give the aforementioned places a visit, of course it would be boring alone, if only I could find someone willing to accompany me.


[No never!]

Hey, if you want to, I'm sure a lot of ladies would be hitting it up. [She likes the sound of that.]

I'd be willing to go with you when I've got the time. Still, you can try asking around to see if anyone would like to go.
morecowbell: (thinking)

[personal profile] morecowbell 2012-11-27 12:43 am (UTC)(link)
It's worth considering at least, I'll test the market out later perhaps.

[she's thinking for a moment, she really doesn't know many girls very well around here, she's not really used to having actual girlfriends] I can ask Miss Hanabi at least.
tallerbrooklyndevil: (Pleased)

[personal profile] tallerbrooklyndevil 2012-11-27 12:51 am (UTC)(link)
Sounds great! If you ever do get it open, I'll be your first reservation.

Also, if you want to meet more people, you could post an open invitation for just the ladies.

Excellent!

Thank you for the suggestion, I will see about doing so after I get some other affairs in order.

No problem!
