[The blond appears in view with an indifferent expression and a cup of tea next to her on her dining room table]

As some of you already know, I have a couple of empty rooms in my apartment that need filling. I’m not going to be overly picky about who fills them as long as they can pay their share and mind their own business. The apartment is on the third floor of Fatality Condominiums and there is a lovely new garden on the balcony. Those who can cook, garden or clean will be considered first.

On a similar note… [she glances around for a moment before lifting the mirror and pointing it at a black and white kitten sitting on the back of the couch watching her curiously.] This was left behind and needs a home ASAP. I think its name is Jerry or Jesse or... something. Anyway, first come first serve, there are some items that can go with it, some need to be fished out from under the couch and probably the beds as well.

feelsgoodinyou

[The video starts with an evil laugh and gleaming eyes in sinister shadows before Bakura leans forward with a grin that’s full of bared teeth. The evil spirit has spent the last days searching the city near and far for the souls of two certain multi-color-haired midgets just to return with his hands empty. He had went all the way to make sure that it was no fluke and now he had certainty of the result. Malicious killing intend is dancing in both his eyes and his voice, twisting them more away from his nice counterpart than ever as he intones a mocking chant.]

The king is dead, the king is dead, long live the king~! Isn’t that how it’s said? [He laughs derisively before he shakes his head with a haughty tsk.]

All those things, all those times …and now that! Having it end like that feels almost too easy! [His smile drops into a discontent frown that turns his eyes hard before he tsks again and shakes his head as he brushes whatever thought he had aside with a wave of his hand.

The expression he presents the network with again seconds later is that of a winner, amused and cruel. ] No more games, dear Death City, for the main actor’s dead and the rest of the story’s already settled! [He feels betrayed.]

Both the main actor and the secondary cast have been removed. [He'd wanted some more time.]

So I’m going to end the game-! [It should have been personal!!]

The only thing is.. What’s the gamemaster left to do once the game’s won and over? [The frown is back at those last words. For a moment Bakura seems honestly troubled, then he shakes his head again with a mumbled curse and ends the connection. Atem has been much more than just an enemy to him.

No amount of public gloating can replace killing him with his own hands.]

tauborn

[Takuto doesn't look sad for this appearance on the network, but he doesn't look characteristically happy, either. He just looks... tired. Maybe it's just that the only light is the glow from the communicator's screen itself, but he looks far more tired than a seventeen year old boy obsessed with singing out his youth and being a source of metaphorical radiance has a right to look.

He sighs, turning the video feed away from himself, into what appears to be total blackness.]

...Some of them are missing. [The darkness of the image focuses in and out of a blurry gray before slowly resolving into tiny pinpricks of light. Stars. There's the sound of a heavy sigh once again.]

I know it's not a thing that's particular to this city or this world or the situation we're all in. People can leave for reasons much worse than a magical device's whim. But all this leaving is exhausting me. People coming and going and coming and going.

[He pauses, recollecting his thoughts as the images blurs, refocuses. The stars twinkle, distantly, silently.]

I think life is a string of people coming and going no matter who or where you are, but… but here, this… I’m getting tired of it.

BREW sent Yuugi away.

( [text | private to Yako] )

tauborn

[It's not like Takuto to look so worried. But he's doing his best to cover it up.]

Um... has anyone seen Sugata? I... he's not answering so I think BREW must have decided to turn him back into a weapon. He might show up someplace strange or without his communicator, so just let me know if you see him.

[He hesitates, and it's actually the long, plaintive whine from Firecracker that gives his real fears away. It's impossible to lie to dogs, after all. And the dog won't shut up, and won't stop trying to crawl into his lap to anxiously lick his chin so Takuto just quickly ends the message.]

want_the_world

It's sad when someone who is supposedly a genius has to be reminded that a human being is capable of independent thought and action, and therefore is not an item that can be stolen.

[ooc: there probably won't be any replies; he's doing a public post because he's a jerk]

sombrero

[Audio]

Has anyone seen a weirdo cyborg wearing a helmet over his face before? I'm not talking about myself when I say "weirdo cyborg" this time. I know, I'm weird but that's not the point.

This guy has these strange eyes that look kinda like a snail. He's a shit stain and he calls himself Monsoon. Currently, he's affiliated with a group known as Desperado. You can recognize him by how much he talks about the memes of the soul and other gene related bullshit.

I just have some matters from back home to take care of and that means settling the score with him.

If anyone has any information about his whereabouts it would be greatly appreciated.

[Video | Filtered away from Snake]

[The feed turns on and then focuses on Snake who's just angrily grimacing in the corner.]

Do you see this guy? His name's Snake and we're from the same world.

[Raiden's whispering now because he doesn't want Snake to hear this next part.] What Snake doesn't know is that four years into his future he gets told off by little eight year old girls. If Snake makes you angry, just tell him that he couldn't use first person mode until the remake. Don't worry about the details, he'll get it. Trust me.

prosecutory

[The voice that speaks is a bit weak; it is a voice that would normally be a clear baritone but is, instead, hoarse with exhaustion. Edgeworth struggles to make himself heard, and his efforts pay off.]

Hmph, mounting a riot while many of us were dispatched on missions? I can't say it was not a calculated move. The local thugs are using their brains in tandem with their brawn for once.

...In any case. [He sighs wearily.] Allow me to offer a piece of advice as one who has called Death City home for nine months: learn how to defend yourself. Shibusen has given you a choice: to either live as a simple civilian until you return to your real home, or to take up arms, so to speak, and fight. Regardless of what you choose, however, danger threatens us both outside and inside the city walls. Our enemies - anti-Shibusen forces, kishin eggs and witches alike - are not picky with their targets.

Learning self-defense is not equivalent to becoming a soldier. I'm not making your choice for you; I am simply offering a suggestion, a precaution if you will, if you wish to stay alive when the war comes knocking at your door, whether you expected it or not.

...

Should you have any business with the Agency, your concerns are best directed to me for now. [Edgeworth, you dolt, you're also in the hospital. So what if you're in better shape than Near? STOP IT.]

[Filtered to the Agency]

I should return to work in 3 days. Those of you who stayed in Death City are not excused from reporting regarding yesterday's events. [Before you think Edgeworth is a mean slave driver, note that he didn't give a deadline.]

I believe a head count is in order; how many of you are well enough to work?

[OOC: ACTION FOR PEOPLE WHO'D LOVE TO DROP BY FOR A VISIT, GIMME ALL YER VISITORS]

everyonesconfidant

[On the camera today is a new face. There's a short delay before he speaks, though it seems that he was just confirming that it was working.]

Hi, everyone! I'm Hiro Kageyama, and I'm one of the new arrivals brought in by that thing. I think that guy called it BREW? Yeah, that thing. I just got in my apartment about an hour or two ago, and after playing around with this communicator a bit, I decided I ought to introduce myself.

So... about me... someone on that opening tour told me that I was a Meister, which means I wield Weapon people. The problem is that, back home, I was just an ordinary high school student. I was never trained in the use of any weapons. So, if I meet any of you Weapons... could you teach me how to use you?

All this is kind of hard to wrap my head around... I'm still not really sure what to think. I just came from saving my own world. Kind of. It's a little complicated. I'm not sure I'm ready to dive into action again just yet. I guess I've got time to think... while I think, could you guys tell me a bit more about this place?

Thanks. See you all around!

{The video opens with a shot of Yako, smiling and on her couch, with a few stacks of boxes in the background.}

This might seem a little out of the blue, since it has taken me so long, but I've finally found a Meister to partner up with officially. Sasha and I are moving in together today, and normally I would be fine handling my end of it, but...well, Death City decided it wanted gale-force winds today. Would anybody mind helping me move some boxes, if they have time?

{She had taken the day off from work (sorry Agency bros, no snacks today!) but she really, really wants to get this done as fast as possible, in order to minimize the chance of Sai finding out her new address from the get-go. Sasha is far, far less likely to take his unexpected visits as resignedly as she does.}

Any help at all would be appreciated. Thanks!

[How have you been doing, Death City? Keroro hasn't been having a very good day today, but he's trying to look cheerful. Mostly what he feels though, is awkward.]

...It seems like Obito-dono has been sent home, de arimasu. He left behind his camera, two bracelets and a lot of pictures, de arimasu.

Neji-dono is in some of them, as well as other people that I think are no longer here, de arimasu. If you wanted them, Neji-dono, just let me know, de arimasu.

[Otherwise, he'll just put them in a box marked 'Obito-dono' and store them away carefully.]

Ah. Anyway. I think that's all I have to say, de arimasu. Thank you for your time, de arimasu.

knowyourmeme

[ He clicks his tongue once as he holds the red portion of his helmet in his hands. His actual face is now exposed. The tubes of his eyes slide around the helmet, examining the scratches with the end prongs which act as the sensors. ]

Superficial damage, but I am a little troubled that the aesthetics of its has been lost. [ A joke. He smiles wide as he has been initially worried about it. If the circuitry gets disrupted, he'd have to keep his helmet off rather than have his 'eyes' be able to interface with it. ]

I must say this is the most civilized war that I have ever been part of. But I suppose that is why I'm here, yes?

[ There's rustling as he switches the settings to public, his tone relaxed. ]

Anyone care to point a fella in the direction of a decent cup a' joe?

[ He's really hoping Bakura was kidding about that Deathbucks thing. Worse comes to worse, it'll be a start. ]

darkestshadeofyou

((OOC At the top just to preempt anyone possibly not having read the cut -- This post its full of spoilers and violent things that happened in the canon. I really can't warn enough ;-;))

[This video starts out in a dark, dark room and only the light of the night time does any decent for any sort of outline sitting at the window. It's clearly a man in a white shirt, the pants are too dark to make out any definitive colour past a shade of blue. He's made a small modification to be able to sit at the window and it's not clear what it is he's seated on, but his blankets are there and his pillows. He's drug his mattress and his table to the window.]

I had a nightmare for the fourth time since being here. Are they common? Wasn't it something I heard at one time that said talking about your nightmares would make them go away? Unfortunately there'll be graphic content, you should stray away if you have stomachs not suited to violence.

It made me sick, too.
[He means this in the double standard for those who know, for those who don't can assume what they will while they don't know he is sick in other ways. His finger comes to his lip and he nibbles at the skin on the side of it. It's a wonder he hasn't chewed clear through it for all the times he's done it.]

( I have to cut this, because it has spoilers for DN:AN and also has violence in it. Readers be warned. )

[The video opens on a view of a tree branch to begin with, but quickly swivels around to show Mizuno's smiling face.]

I found the park! [She makes this declaration quite brightly. From the fact that there's bark behind her, it's easy to tell that she's at least sitting with her back against a tree. Though, technically, she's up on a branch of the tree.]

I'm waiting around to see if any birds come by. [She glances off camera, as if she's looking for some birds right now.] Does anyone want to see if I make some new friends?

[She continues to smile for a moment before gasping softly and speaking earnestly.] I almost forgot! I'm Mizuno! It's nice to meet you all! [BEAM.]

[So apparently the communications devices can do speed dial and call waiting. Neat.]

[Filtered! Rosalia.]

I had someone drop off the supplies. We didn't count them, but we covered most of casualty communal. I'm fairly sure that there's a little more than a hundred packs, so they should help... Anyway. Good luck with whatever you're doing.

[Filtered! Bakura.]

I haven't been able to find anyone that looks capable of being delicate when it comes to our little project. Can you recommend anyone? Thanks.

[Filtered! Neku.]

...Are you moping? I didn't think you the type.

[Everyone else!]

Say. What do all of you do for entertainment here? Other than fighting the war and saving the world, of course.

Can I ask a favor?

[Private to Mello]]

Do you have a moment?

[Well, being almost!human sucked. Joshua, unfortunately, after a day of exploring the city ~~and discovering many fun shops!~~ is currently rediscovering what it means to be tired. What can he say. The battery life of an average human being is pathetic at best. 12 hours? 16? 18? Awful. The sun's going down, and the stars are out. He's currently walking to the apartment he's been allotted, but physical exercise is boring. Very boring. So! A transmission as he walks, mainly to kill some time.]

Howdy.

So~ While the little welcome get-together was indeed quite charming, I have a small question. I want to help with this little war that's going on. The faster it's over, the sooner I get back to doing what's important to me. If I can be some help in that it's better for everyone, right? Anyway, What's the best way to do that? Is it a case of simply walking to the Shibusen, banging on the door and signing some liability waivers or...?

[He's inside the apartment complex now, fiddling with a set of keys as soon as he clears the first hallway. A swing of a door later and...]

By the way. If anyone in charge is watching, kudos for the room.

peacocked

[the distant sound of tapping can be heard as sugata murmurs quietly to himself. looks like he's too lost in thought to realize that his fingers accidentally slipped and hit the ever sensitive button on the mirror device.]

I can safely rule out being stuck in Zero Time. I think I can also safely say that I'm not at home either... With all the secrets the island has, I'm sure this would have been found sooner or later. [after a few moments of silence soft laughter can be heard.] It seems as if I've found a way to escape the inevitable. However I need to find--

[another pause. ah, looks like whoever was speaking finally realized that he was being recorded. the blue haired boy ducks out of view just to be on the safe side. after all he doesn't know what he pressed to activate it!]

Ah, hmm... As interesting as this place seems, I find myself tied to other obligations. Is there a way to return home? I was in the middle of something very important and I need to get back as soon as possible. [he pauses once more as he gives a small sigh. Well... now that this thing is on, might as well give it a shot...]

And if anyone knows or has seen a Takuto Tsunashi or a Wako Agemaki, please let me know. Takuto has red hair and red eyes and Wako has blonde hair and brown eyes.

snipingyourfail

[It's been awhile since she's shown up on the Network. With the adjust of her glasses, she gives a nod. Behind her lies a sea of equipment, monitors giving readings and wire frame layouts, furiously busy running an analysis.]

It's come to Shibusen's attention that on yesterday the 10th, a small group of Guests have gone missing. By who, we intend to find out alongside the current location of our missing comrades. When their location has been confirmed, we can then organize a method of extraction to ensure the safety of both the captives and the rescue effort.

Until then, I ask that those of you affected by the disappearances remain calm and take heart that investigative efforts will not rest those missing are found and brought back as quickly as humanly possible.

Thank you.

[Filtered to: Neji]

I request your assistance. Can you meet me in the Death Room?
