*There is some momentary fumbling with the video portion of the controller and then it's steady as a man with very long blond hair and yellow eyes looks into his communicator.*

Is there a word for a sensation of being someplace before and yet, you cannot quite recall how that can be? I have never seen this...thing I am holding, nor have I seen this place before, yet I know how to use this device and this streets are familiar.

*He closes his eyes and rubs his head, as though it pains him.* Can someone enlighten me as to whether I have been here before?

[It isn't a clean scene because this is recorded in the office. Documents are on their side, unable to be read, and Naoto isn't going to take complaints about organization today; talk to her later if you must nitpick.]

Greetings. While I have a feeling the majority of you know me, I'll introduce myself for the few who don't. I am Naoto Shirogane, Shooting Instructor at Morning Training and Agent at the Kuzunoha Detective Agency.

Introduction and credentials aside, I wanted to report a very recent investigation that my Meister and myself conducted on the cave system located near Death City. There appears to be an odd mist of Madness within the tunnels and while thin, it's potent. We're offering to escort groups who wish to practice combating its affects into the caverns. I advise having a few missions under your belt and not to merely drag a Meister or Weapon with you for this exercise. All interested parties will contact either myself or Kanji, and please do so as soon as possible. We cannot guarantee it will remain for much longer.

Thank you.

[The address is concluded and the feed turns off.]

[Four days after he disappeared from Death City, Raidou appears on the network again, looking puzzled.]

[He's also slightly singed and covered in soot.]

...Could someone tell me how long I've been gone?

[Biowulf taps the lens of the camera on his phone.]

Hrrnnn....Hello?

[The lupine EVO is sitting alone in the apartment he shared with Holiday and Six. Most everything appears untouched, except his pile of blankets in the corner has gotten significantly bigger. On the floor in front of him, there is a small collection of Souls he has earned on his two successful missions.]

Ummm...wh-what am I supposed to do with them?

draculabackwards

*It has taken time for the dhampir to compose himself but his voice is even and strong when he makes his post.*

It would seem BREW enjoys sending some people back more than others. My partner, Raidou Kuzunoha, is not here in the city, but his things are here, which suggests he'll be back. I know not when.

Has it happened to anyone else here? Wherein you were here, BREW allowed you return to your home to take care of whatever quest you were on, and then brought you back?

*Alucard looks down off screen for a moment* Yes, yes, you will both be fed soon, worry not, cats. *His composure wavers for a moment before it's back.* I do not suppose there are any Meisters out there who would not mind going on a quick mission with a Weapon such as myself? I turn into a broadsword, if there are other swordsmen or women out there.

Good morning Death City!

Ladies and Gentlemen! [ Okay, she's never quite done any TV work (not that this is TV), but it's just performing to a camera instead of people. It can't be that hard. Smile at 1000 watts.

... It's a shame the background is so dull - her new apartment is pretty bare-bones. ]

If you're looking to dazzle - or to be dazzled - I have just the thing for you! The Wright Magic Show will make your parties and businesses stand out from the crowd. Just ask for Trucy Wright, Magician Extraordinaire! [ There's a pause, and suddenly:

]

And the Amazing Mr. Hat!

[ Trucy giggles and nods. ] And the Amazing Mr. Hat.

Does anyone know where a Hat can get some oil? [ His arm creaks, and in a mock whine, he adds: ] All this travelling is bad for my joints...

[ Mr. Hat bows out, disappearing back under Trucy's cape, her hat dropped back on her head, and she leans over, fiddling with the feed until it switches off. ]

[The following entry is entirely in text.]

Greetings, fellow visitors to Death City. I have been told that this device will allow me to write to all of you. My name is Sona Buvelle, and I arrived here from my own world a few days ago.

Although I would very much like to help this world in whatever way they need, I must admit to being a bit confused by my sudden arrival. I’m afraid I was in the middle of something, and the change of scenery has been very...jarring.

[A pause, as though she’s not sure what else to write.]

First, I suppose it would be best to find out if any of my allies from home are here. Has anyone heard of the planet Runeterra? Of Demacia, Noxus, Ionia...the Institute of War? I know that it is possible that I am not the only one – isn’t it?

amorini

Evening, Death City- hope the evening's finding everyone alright...!

[Cupid's voice comes amidst the slight clinking of dishes being put away- which may explain why the post is all audio instead of her usual video.]

Okay, so I've been thinking, since Blair brought it up to me and... I think- considering recent events and the fact that the city probably isn't as safe as it could be- that more of those here could probably use partners- or at the very least, someone they can call on when things get a little hectic.

Therefore, I'd like to suggest a kind of... partnership speed-dating event- though really it could be for regular dating too.

For anyone that doesn't know what speed dating entails, it's pretty simple. Those interested gather in a venue and are given a number- then half are seated at tables and the other half switch around the tables after a certain amount of time. Usually not more than ten minutes, but the duration is totally up for discussion depending on everyone's preferences.

Each person has a paper that they write things down on- namely which people they got along with best and would like to see more of. Then at the end of the night, the papers are given to the Host, and the host then pairs up those who thought the highest of each other for longer 'dates', so to speak, at a later time. Obviously for anyone looking for partners it wouldn't be so much a 'date' as probably a resonance trial or even a mission... but still!

I think it sounds like a good idea... what do you guys think?

I don't have a date in mind yet, but I think waiting until after the Gala is probably a good idea, just to make sure everyone has time to wind down from something like that. I'm also open to venue suggestions if anyone has any ideas- actually, I'm pretty open to suggestions, period...!

[Here she finally takes a pause in her slightly too-peppy ramble to take a breath and almost palpably hesitates before continuing.]

Oh, one more thing before I forget- um... it looks like Jack's gone, so I've got a bunch of extra cupcakes I'm probably not going to finish, if anyone wants to drop by and take them off my claws I'd appreciate it.

[Hyoubu had left his communicator at home by accident the night before so he missed the whole thing with that Erinyes post. Which was too bad, really. It looked like it could have been fun.]

"We are everywhere", huh? Sounds like another terrorist group back home. I guess idiots like them exists across multiple universes.

[He paused.]

Hey, I'm curious now, what's the craziest or stupidest organization you've ever fought? You can also replace 'organization' with 'person' if that's what you were up against.

nanitewerewolf

[A very ruffled, very fidgety Biowulf appears on the screen.]

Hrrrrrn.

I am...not familiar with the ways human packs display gratitude.

[He gives a sort of snort, like a sneeze.]

I am...Hrrrrfff...in need of advice in the matter.

[A woman opens the channel and peers grimly into the crystal. Though at the moment she doesn’t know yet that she’s turned it on. Instead, she seems to be indirectly addressing a person explaining what it does.]

So, this device is a means of conveying instantaneous information? I had heard such tales as possible, but could never scarce believe I would see such a marvel. Aside from Marach’s toad, surely.

[Her eyes narrow a bit and she begins talking into it as though it were a horn.]

Ah… if any should hear this, I would like for you to respond in kind. Though I have no reason to doubt the veracity of my guide’s claims, it would be very much to my benefit to bear witness to this marvel’s ability to transmit another’s visage. Surely were such a means common in Ivalice, the stratagems of the battlefield would greatly benefit.

[There’s a pause as the knight appears to be watching for any signs of life. After getting some, or perhaps after the thought had occurred, she decided to addL]

I have also heard that dissidents have brought war to the people of this city. I would like to speak with the commander in charge of administrating peace in order to assess how he plans on preparing the city and what other benefit I may be to their aid.

That will be all. For now.

prosecutory

[It's Saturday - a fine Saturday afternoon. DC's favorite prosecutor is - gasp - not in the office to deliver this transmission. However, he is still dressed as fabulously as ever and is surrounded by shelves of books in the spare bedroom which he had long since converted into his personal library. In fact, a few books are on the table he is seated at, and one particularly thick and ancient-looking one is open before him, along with his organizer. Edgeworth shuts the book - at a glance, one can tell that it is part of Shibusen's library collection. The organizer remains open but from this angle, you can't quite make out what he has been writing.]

Good day. I'm Miles Edgeworth, public prosecutor and one of the heads of the Kuzunoha Detective Agency, which specializes in investigation, dissemination and archiving of information, and security. [In case you folks forget men who wear cravats and wine-red suits on a daily basis, and what they do around here. But really, this is for formality's sake and the new folk.]

[He clears his throat and folds his hands neatly on the table, but not on his closed book.]

I would like to remind everyone, especially the newer guests, that the Agency is, as always, looking for agents, messengers and guards. If you have experience with law enforcement, investigation, or any similar fields, and you wish to work with us, you are more than welcome to contact me, or my co-head, Near, for an interview. If you have no such experience or credentials, we can take you on as an apprentice. Furthermore, we are also seeking maintenance staff. [AKA janitors.]

Our office is located in the Shopping District. [And here he will give directions beginning from Shibusen, and an alternate route that begins at Casualty Communal. Clearly Edgeworth has been around for so long that he knows the city well.] I suggest visiting us on weekdays, preferably from late morning to afternoon.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask either me or Near.

[A pause. He looks...thoughtful for a moment, as if pondering what to say next.]

By the way, I am always looking for regular chess opponents -

[Edgeworth suddenly stops and glances down...somewhere, under the table. Then a furry, reddish-brown head pops up and stares up at him. He sighs, shaking his head, and rests a hand on the Australian Shepherd's head. The faintest trace of a smile is visible on his face before he resumes his serious, calm expression and faces his communicator again.]

And I would like to remind everyone that, in the light of anti-Shibusen movements, it would be in everyone's best interests to not travel alone at night, as much as possible, and to report any suspicious activity immediately to us, the Watch, or Shibusen, as we all cooperate to work toward your safety and welfare.

[The Australian shepherd whines impatiently and he shushes her gently.]

That is all. Thank you for your time. [Spoiler: It's Edgeworth's turn to walk the dogs today.]

scribes

Recent conversations have sparked some curiosity in me.

We all come from different worlds and different times, and I can't help but wonder what some of the common myths, legends, and fairy tales are in these times and places. Such things can be very telling of the people from which they come and I think I might enjoy making a collection of sorts and analyzing them.

So, Death City, if you would be so kind tell me about your worlds and the stories you've been raised on. The more detail the better, and if you know anything of their origin that is better yet.

consider8

As we may 8e well aware, there has 8een an alarming amount of activity 8oth in the streets and across the net. It does not take a particularly astute individual to recognize 8oth the magnitude of this escalation, and also the potential consequences it has on us. While I do not 8elieve that retaliation is the 8est solution, and I am saying this as an individual who has 8een personally affected 8y the assault, I would urge you to use 8oth your judgement and sense to protect yourself and prevent escalating the tension further. Emotions flare. People get angry and upset. It will disperse once given enough time. The most important thing to remem8er is that when tempers cool and we address our wound that we look 8ack at the actions we have chosen without em8arrassment or remorse. If you would like to me to address something specific, then please, feel free to contact me. In the darkest times an opportunity to talk may 8e what is needed most of all.

Yo! If one've you wanna give Detective Shirogane a nudge and tell 'em to call it a day, I'd owe ya one.

Workin' late's great and all, but so's dinner and sleep. [A rather distracted, stiff nod. He didn't know Naoto hadn't even made it into work today, but this is the only place he knew she'd be.]

Thanks.

pishirogane

[This can't be far from Death City Heights when the video turns on. Naoto stands, her back against the Anti-Shibusen graffitied wall and a split grocery bag at her feet. There's a cut on her cheek and several taller individuals surrounding her. She looks indifferent as she thumbs away the blood.]

... Very well. Since you have threatened me physically, understand from this point I'm responding properly in self-defense.

And what will a pint-sized thing like you do without your gun?

[The one speaking steps forward, knife raised]

You'll get back to that boyfriend in a few pieces once we're finished.

[Naoto doesn't say anything at this remark, one hip popped and her hand resting on it. How she responds to the threat seems to irk the boy holding the knife. Few may have noticed, but she appears to have grabbed something hidden on her form with a finger]

Are you quite done? You're pathetic and an insult to criminals everywhere. I expect my groceries to be replaced.

[That seems enough to tick the gang off. The communicator is turned off when abruptly stepped on.]

sixthdeadliest

Does anyone have any recommendations for weapon cleaning cloths? The one I brought from home is on its last legs, and I'll need a replacement soon. Trying to look for one that bladed Weapons find comfortable.

Thank you.

[[His finger slips and hits the send button, the words vanishing onto the network, incomplete and useless. No. No, he didn't mean to send that. He had to fix it. He couldn't.... couldn't...

Instead of trying to correct his mistake, he simply stares at the screen as if somehow by doing that, it would fix the words into what he had meant to say. Even if he wasn't even sure what that was any more.]]

crazyunbreakable

Oi, is this working?

[ A little more fiddling around before Josuke's face finally comes into view. Of course, it’s not only his face. Hanging just over his forehead is his trademark pompadour, casting a shadow over his eyes. He might even take this opportunity, seeing as he is technically looking into a mirror and all, to push a stray hair into place. Maybe it has been a long day but it’s still important to look sharp. ]

It is working, isn’t it? Great.

[ He says Great but his intonation doesn’t seem to agree. ]

I don’t know who all is listening on this thing. And I guess there might be a war going on and all but hear me out. I don’t really know how I’m supposed to be able to help you any, without being able to use my stand or anything. It’s not really any of my business anyways. Dunno what you expect me to do here.

[ He points a threatening two fingers at the screen. ]
So what's it gonna take before I can get going back home? My mom is gonna cut back my allowance again if I’m out too late. I won’t let you off easy if it’s your fault I am broke again this summer!
