[ it’s probably too soon after the kidnappings, but Demona doesn’t care.

The video feed starts and you get to see a blue woman with red hair and a set of wings on her back. She is obviously not a human. For those who don't know her, meet Demona. In return she doesn't even attempt to smile or greet the network. ]

Before, there used to be a group which didn’t have any name, focused on scientific research and meant to work alongside with Shibusen. Suffice to say, it never worked out because apparently its name was the only thing worth to be discussed. Qilby, before leaving, tried to bring it back, but not many people seemed to be willing to make something out of it. [ okay, she is done with the lame introduction ]

I think it’s time we discuss it once more.

The basic idea was to create a group with researches and science inclined Guests with the goal to synthesize our abilities and our knowledge to further research to aid Shibusen. I understand there are many academic people who wish they could support Shibusen with their knowledge and help the war some other way, and I believe this could indeed help.

Just a small note, nothing of this is official yet. I aim to make it so, but first I’d like to know who is interested.

[Bumblebee switches on his video feed, but he still communicates via text.]

I was wondering if there happens to be anyone here that has experience with constructing or repairing advanced machinery. Specifically robots.

I am not asking because I need any repairs done to me now. It was brought to my attention some time ago when I was speaking to a human Medic that it would be a smart idea to find someone to work on me, should I sustain any minor to serious damage in future battles.

I am aware that it may be necessary to study me as I am now to understand the way that I function. I have no problem with that as long as my partner is allowed to be there.

[It’s been awhile, but Barricade’s decided to grace the network with his anonymous presence. Kidnappings and rescue missions aren’t all that interesting to him, after all. Let the humans sort out their own.]

I think everyone here is in agreement that BREW is a terrible invention. What really bothers me about it, though, is the fact that it’s obsessed with pulling in more humans than anything else. It’s a disturbing thought if humanity is the common denominator across endless realities, isn’t it?

I suppose it sticks with what it knows, which is consistent for a machine built by humans and not helpful at all. Human conflict solved by human ineptitude isn’t a very good strategy. I’d give it some points for wising up and bringing in superior species every once and awhile, except none of us want to be here. The only comforting part about humanity infesting so many realities is that there’s always something actively trying to wipe it out. That's a universal constant I can live with.

[Akiha can't believe she's doing this...]

Who among us considers him/herself a scientist?

soulsutures

[The video switches on to Stein in his usual place sitting backwards in his chair with his arms draped over the back, he looks more tired than usually but given the circumstances combined with his already hectic schedule it's no surprise.]

First of all I'd like to thank all of you for holding with us in these tougher times and assure you we're doing what we can to get to the bottom of all of this mayhem. But that's not what this is about today.
( Cut for length )

[ Showing her face is a no go, as she usually does so even in person when she's wearing a mask. Painwheel's still a bit frustrated and embarrassed from earlier when she was tracked down and guided around the town. Granted, she had every reason to treat anyone that was approaching her as an enemy, but she still felt bad about punching some guy in the face that just wanted to help her.

Painwheel's voice is noticeably deep and rough for her age, and with the irritation added to it, she sounds more aggressive than she intended. ]

Okay, I think I get this. I'm a literal weapon now, I guess? I don't really see the difference, but I'll figure it out.

I heard there's other weapons out there too, and... uh, meisters, I guess? Yeah, kind of doubting I'll find one of those anytime soon.

[ The dreaded rambling! She cuts herself off and gets to the point. ]

Whatever, I'm Painwheel. If you see a new freaky looking girl around you should probably avoid her. I mean me, because you know, I'm talking about me. Yeah, this is your only warning, it's best to just leave me alone.

[ She's mostly just worried about unintentionally hurting someone else, but she can't think ahead far enough to realize that she's inviting trouble. The woes of having the mentality of a teenager... ]

pmsgargoyle

[ since no one mentioned it, she might as well make the announcement ]

Qilby left; his apartment is empty, so this means BREW took him back.

[Hyoubu looks at the communicator with something that could be called a fond smile if it weren't just a little too sharp, a little to mocking.]

Looks like we've really over-stayed our welcome. But no one should be surprised, right? It's just how people are. Those with special powers are only tolerated when they're actually useful, after all.

That being said...I'm curious. What do all of you have to go back to? Between that and what we have here... [A war. Anti-Shibusen sentiments and everything.] Which is the better deal for you?

ironicusername

Question.
I'm curious as to the origin of this weapon/meister duality. Have the people in this world simply always had this latent propensity? Or was it cultivated after being engendered by some crisis point? Or maybe something else entirely.
But I guess most of us being draftees, not a lot are going to be familiar with the in-depth history of what is essentially a glorified internment camp that is rapidly going through all the fuck's I'm able to give.
So, instead I'll ask: How 'natural' does your designation as a meister or a weapon feel? Do you feel that it's something that stems from your nature, or that's it's just as random and senseless as everything else about this place?

imnosuperman

[Asura's not one to show his face to a lot of people, much less to the whole public, but there was something else he forgot to ask on the tour, so on goes the video feed! Spiky white hair, red eyes, and pretty much frowning all over...he seems to be a pretty scary guy. Or well, if not for the fact that he's looking a tad awkward and embarrassed right now.]

Hey. [His eyes start shifting in any direction when he glances around.] Does anyone know where to find a- [He stops, as if something catches his eye.] Hang on a sec.

[Asura doesn’t bother turning the communicator off, and immediately shoves it in his pocket. The sound of tromping can be heard, followed by some yells, burly screaming, a few thwacks here and there, and a sickening crack. A shrill, high-pitched screech cuts through, which then immediately dies down. The heavy footsteps start up again and a few minutes after, they stop once Asura pulls out his communicator again, his appearance is a bit more disheveled this time, along with a few flecks of blood on his cheeks, and some of it dripping down his forehead. Even more odd is how he looks nonchalant now, right down to his tone when he starts to speak again.]

Sorry about the interruption. [cough] Anyway, where you do find a training ground? I wanna spar, so if anyone's got the info, I'm all ears.

[Bumblebee switches the video feed from his device on, but he still communicates via text on it.]

Here in Death City, we are all mostly soldiers. But I am a bit curious, what was everyone's profession in the world that they came from? I know that some of you may not have had one for various reasons, but you are still free to reply to tell me what it is that you did back on your world.

I will start things off.

Where I am from, I am a soldier. I became one after war broke out upon my home planet. The war has been going on for over a millennia, and I fear that it won't be ending any time soon. But before the war and becoming a soldier, I was a guardian to one of my people's most sacred relic along with another Bot.

[There's the sound of someone unfolding a piece of paper. Hyoubu takes his time doing this, so for a few seconds all there is is the sound of rustling paper, and a sharp 'pop' when he suddenly pulls on the bottom and top to straighten it out.

He sounds amused when he begins speaking.]

Looks like someone [Read: him.] has been busy putting up some flyers in the city. It looks like pretty interesting stuff! Ah. [He paused as if he only just realized this was a voice post.] Right, you can't see it even if I point the communicator at it, can you? Here, let me read it out to you.

Ahem. "The Seven Mysteries of Death City."

( OOC cut due to length. )

I wonder how many of these are true? It would be interesting to try to find everything on this list, wouldn't it?

Oh, and we're doing a promotion at World's End this week. For every two drinks you buy, you get a third one for free. It's not as interesting as these mysteries, but if you want to, drop by some time.

((OOC: In order, the mysteries are talking about: Shirogane, Quilby, Lily+Lezard, Bakura+Yami Bakura, Fatal Frames, Hanabi+Neji, and Cloud+Takuto+Kanji. Hyoubu's put up multiple copies of this flier throughout the city. Maybe someone even spotted a suspicious silver-haired teen in a Japanese middle-school boy's uniform walking around with a small pile of fliers. :3))

[When the feed first comes on, you see Aqua, looking as serious as ever.]

I need to find a partner, at the very least, I'd like to find someone who can go on missions with me. [Because she's tired of sitting around feeling useless.] I'm a Weapon that turns into something that's used like a sword, if that helps.

[Then she hesitated, as if she wasn't sure about what she planned to say next. When she speaks again, her voice softens a little, one part awkward and one part something else. She'd originally made the cake with someone to help her try it out in mind, after all...except they weren't here any more. She tries her best to smile a little, though.]

And I baked a cake. If anyone would like to help me finish it, feel free to drop by. I'm currently staying at Reaper Residences 2B.

realimperfect

I've been thinking, lately, about something I experienced back in the place where I was born..

If you could meet yourself as a child…

Would she/he be proud of you?

What kind of excuse would you say to excuse the things you've done or the person you've become?

Londo Mollari was killed during the attack.

I'd like to cremate his remains in order to perform a Wind Ceremony.

[For anyone that happens to know Kotetsu, you might be a little surprised at the serious, almost stern features on his face. He almost looks as if he has something dire and important to say, and in fact, he does. He opens his mouth-- and then closes it, his eyes going wide slightly, and he stares down at his feet as if trying to recall what he was going to say.

Damn it, public speaking wasn't ever his strong point, but Barnaby had taken care of the first message relating to this subject so it was only fair that he'd handle it this time around. Finally, with an assured nod, he lifts his head up.]

Okay, I'd like to have everyone's attention please! I know a lot of people probably know more than enough about those killings going around, and if you haven't, get outta that rock and read yourself a newspaper. It's good for you. I'm not sure how many of you remember the message someone named Barnaby gave about this "serial killer" in the area, but it's related to that.

[Kotetsu takes a deep breath and removes his hat, his expression going serious again.]

They're calling the guy that everyone is looking for "The Crim Cutter". But that's not his name. His name is Lunatic. He's from my world, and from the looks of it, he's now in Death City. Back home, he was famous for going after criminals and giving them his own brand of justice, and that was by killing them. No one knows what he really looks like because he wears a mask and an outfit, and no one knows how to catch him. Not yet at least. He's never gone after regular, innocent people though, so there isn't too much to worry about. Still, he's dangerous, and he shouldn't be here. We can't let him stay loose for long.

...some people might think that he's not that bad of a problem because he goes after criminals, people who you think deserves this sort of thing, but that's not true. It's a lie. No matter who he goes after and why, he's killing people, and no matter what, that sort of thing can't be forgiven. You don't get any kind of justice with murder. It's not right!

[He doesn't realize the tightened hold he has on his mirror or the raised tone in his voice until he hears it slightly echo in the room he's in, and Kotetsu jolts slightly, surprised at his own outburst. Calming down, he rubs at the back of his neck and continues.]

Ah, so, if anyone has any questions, don't hesitate to ask me or my partner. --oh, my name's Kotetsu. My partner's Barnaby. We've dealt with this guy a lot longer than Death City has now so hopefully, we can help out in catching Lunatic and getting this all to stop as soon as possible, because trust me, he's not gonna stop for anything.

I'm sorry to take you away from the fun of this amazing Carnival, but I would like a word with you, Qilby. [ and it won't be filled with sarcasm like this post]

By the way, it's a shame that you didn't participate on the Beauty Pageant. I'm quite sure you would have won.

I've just heard word of every8ody's success in the mission at Lake Tahoe.
You should all feel proud of yourselves, though I dou8t you need to hear it from me. :::;)

I do find myself more than a 8it curious to know a8out what happened specifically, however.
Does any8ody mind letting me know?
I would very much like to hear of your first-hand accounts, if any8ody is willing to share them.

[ It's been a little over a week since the whole fall out with Lloyd (and even more so Kratos). Since then he's only interacted with two others; one of them being his dog. After the fallout he realized a few of who he could consider friends have left Death City, leaving the half-elf possibly the loneliest he's ever been. At least when he felt lonely back home he had his sister.

There's a bit of silence other than a tail thumping at the ground before a single question was asked: ]

What does one do when they find out someone they really trust betrays them?

[ Then a click. ]

spandexisyouth

[Gai looks happy and confident. There are a few bruises from the latest mission, but not many and he seems very relaxed.]

Hello Death City! Do you know what day it is?

[He pauses and viewers may be able to practically feel his excitement bubble up.]

Today is the first day of spring! March 21st! It is a day that should be celebrated and embraced, because it is a day of new beginnings and rebirth! Of life and growth!

I will be in the parks for most of today, since training is over for the day. Do you have any traditions with which you greet spring? I would love to know them!

Also, Lily, I believe I asked you to come see the park with me on the first day of spring.
