[When the feed comes on, Kratos can be seen lounging in one of the seats in his and Lloyd's apartment. Everything seems as normal as can be.]

I have an inquiry pertaining to motorcycles. Is one worth acquiring and, if so, is it difficult to learn how to ride one?

[Lalala simple question while relaxing in a comfy chair. Nothing out of the ordinary nope.]

[In the meantime, Lloyd is walking through the apartment in the background. He stretches a bit. Nothing too exciting.

At least until he suddenly hits something and goes toppling forward with a thud and the sound of something shifting.]


Nnnng... OW!

[Instead of turning off the communicator as planned, a thump distracts him from doing so. Now what could that have been. He turns his head and sees his partner looking like an unhappy pancake on the ground. How graceful.]

[Lloyd gets up on his knees, cringing a bit. Finally he shoots Kratos a glare.]

Hi, everyone. It was feeling kind of lonely before Pascal showed up... but, I brought some company to my apartment awhile back.

[ Then she holds up a scruffy-looking brown hamster for all to see. Cute, huh? Most of the money she earned from her job went to this hamster and potted flowers to pretty up her room. Some company meaning a hamster, as well as all the flowers. The plants are family too! ]

His name is Tiger Festival... he's a hamster and my new baby. Hee hee. We're family now.

[ She smiles proudly before setting the fluffy critter back down on her lap. ]

When the war here is over and things calm down back home, I'll have a family there too. I'm going to have a father and I'll get to call him "dad"!

I was born without parents, so I never had someone to call "dad" before. It's... happy to have someone to call "dad." Do any of you have fathers... or mothers, too? I was wondering... what kinds of things do families do together?

Annd...that should do it!

[She nods firmly, fixing a smile on her face before beginning to speak.]

Hello everyone! My name is Marta. I’m one of the new arrivals. I still don’t really get it, but if there’s a war going on, then I’ll do whatever I can to help. I’m pretty sure that’s what he would want me to do.

I’m a Meister, so I guess I’m supposed to try and pair up with a weapon...but before I worry about that, could anyone give me any tips on settling in? Oor anything else that I should keep in mind? They told me so much when I first got here, but it was so much at once! It’s really hard to remember it all.

[She pauses, seeming to lose her train of thought for a moment before suddenly remembering it.]

Oh! And if anyone sees a boy with short blond hair and green eyes, wearing a black and blue outfit, please let me know! His name is Emil and if he’s here then it’s really important that I find him as soon as possible!

Why hello, everyone. Now that I’ve come to the realization that I have not, in fact, been kidnapped by the Chinese, I think it’s time for a proper introduction.

I am Barney Stinson. Some have called me great. Others? Mighty. Noble. Dignified. Virile. Humble, because I will so willingly drop to my knees in the presence of true physical perfection.

Speaking of which... upon arriving, I haven’t turned a blind eye to how many perfect female forms exist in Life City! I’m calling it Life City because I’m here now, because I am the life of the party, and nothing kills a boner like a pile of actual bones. Not to mention all this sand. That stuff chafes, if you know what I mean.

That being said.... ladies. If you do happen to be mourning or missing someone, let’s meet at the Bitch’s Brew tonight at 8:00. I’ll listen to anything that might come out of your mouth... and maybe later on, I’ll put something of my own in it. High five!

In the meantime, can some sophisticated bro tell me where I can get a rush-job on a tailored, high-quality suit? That is priority numero uno. Because I arrived dressed as a very awesome robot, but I'm not wearing that to the bar tonight unless someone can guarantee that a hot tinfoil fetishist is going to be there.

Good morning, Death City!

[One very chipper girl waves cheerfully at the mirror set up on the coffee table. She's currently relaxing on the couch, her non-broken leg pulled up against her chest while the broken and encased one dangles over the edge.]

Yesterday, I saw some very cute baby cats in an alley nearby, and I'd like to capture one when they're a little older. But before I can do that, there are some questions I need answered. The capturing mechanics of this world are very... [behind] different from my world?

So! I might not have the technology available to me that I did back home, but every good Coordinator knows how to improvise! I was thinking of using rope - does anybody know how to tie a lasso? Which stores sell rope in Death City? The convenience stores don't, for some reason.

...Although a box trap might do the trick. I saw a store that sold 'cat food' - that would make good bait, right?

Either way though, I'm pretty sure I'll need- [Haruka leans over to the coffee table and grabs what had previously been out of sight of the camera, displaying them once she's seated comfortably again.]

-these!

['These' being rocks the size her palm.]

You can't capture a Pokemon without weakening it first, after all. And since I don't have my Pokemon here to battle it with, these will have to do. I'm pretty sure they use rocks in the Safari Zone anyway, so there's obviously something about them that works.

I would be extremely grateful if someone were to answer my questions.

[And with that, she bows politely at the mirror before reaching over and turning it off.]

[From the looks of it, Loki is at the top of Shibusen's stairs. He's sitting cross-legged on the ground in front of the propped-up mirror, and there is an empty DeathRobbins cup sitting next to him at the edge of the shot.

The Madness wavelength really shook him. He's spent most of today thinking about Things, totally blowing off his job to wander around the park and climb up to the top of the city. Loki is visibly subdued, far from his usual chipper self. Although the ice cream did help a little. He'd heard it might.

[It's short, but that's because it didn't seem like there was too much that needed saying. She would miss Fuuka, she had just wanted to let everyone know, let her friends know that she seemed to have gone home now.]

The dates are starting to line up again, so me may end up having newcomers from BREW in the near future. Might be a good idea to watch out for that.

...Of course, it also means that there may be even more disappearances than the ones we've had over the past few days. Those two usually go hand in hand.

[Pausing there, looking a little rueful.]

Funny how I've been around here long enough to notice this sort of thing. Makes a man think, really.

[The feed ends there, for most folks.]


Filter: DOGS/The Watch
[Now it's back to business.]

I've talked with Shibusen and a few of you about this already, so I think it's time to bring the idea up to everyone.

Recent events have made our numbers dwindle lower than they have in a while, and I'm not comfortable with constantly waiting for BREW to bring in people who could be interested in joining us, or on the folks who are already here to come around quickly. As such, in order to focus the resources that we have at hand and make sure that everyone isn't overworked, I'm planning on ceasing all Watch activity in Outer Residential Quarter III, and Zones 1 and 4 in the Outer Quarter of Death City.

I am aware, of course, that a number of you will be affected by this move. As such, I want to hear how you feel about this, where you'd like to be transferred, and who you're more comfortable working under among our current set of Zone Leaders. You're free, of course, to approach me in my office or send a message to me in private with your responses.

Anyone who's violently opposed to this move is more than welcome to talk to me about it. Know, though, that it's not an idea that sits very well with me either. Still: the last thing I want is that we're unprepared for another attack on the city, or for whatever else might happen to us from here on. Hard decisions need to be made if we're truly going to do everything that we can to protect this place, and each other.


Separate Filters to the patrolmen at Outer Residential Quarter I and Outer Residential Quarter II, although the message is exactly the same

If this move does take place, that means that Zone Leaders Neji Hyuuga and Lain Iwakura may need to take command of your area. How do all of you feel about this?


Filter: partnered pairs on patrol EXCEPT for Tenten and Santana

Would any of you be interested in a deputy Zone Leader position? This is on the pretense of actually taking command of an area in the future, of course.


Filter: Tenten & Santana

Of the pairs I've got at the moment, the two of you are in line for a promotion. [Smiles.] Are you girls interested in that?


Separate filters again, same message: Riza Hawkeye, Karkat Vantas, Flynn Scifo

How soon will you be available for a mission?


Filter: Genesis Rhapsodos

Any news on that serial killer of ours?


ooc: Riza, Flynn - assume that Roy approached you about this matter already, maybe a day or so before this post came up. Everybody else: you're more than welcome to action spam me here if you want to log anything related to this post out. XD

[Filtered from the Symphonia cast]
Hey, there's something I've been wondering lately. How many people come from a time much different than the others from their world? Most of my friends from my world all come from times that were around two years ago for me, and...it's strange, I suppose, being from such a different time from all of them.

[Especially when he only met those friends a few months from his perspective before he arrived in Death City. But he doesn't say that.]

Has this happened to anyone else? I don't think I've ever really talked with anyone about it before.

My name's Emil, by the way. I'm a meister, and I'm still looking for a weapon if anybody's interested. I usually use a sword, but I think I can try other things too. I, um...I become somebody else when we fight - another me. My friends call him my Ratatosk Mode. I know it's weird, and it might make working together a little harder, but I know both I and my other self want to find a partner and help out more here. So if anybody's okay with needing to work with both me and him, I'd like to try something out. Thank you.

[The feed starts, revealing a confused and angry-looking Sheena glancing about the room. The picture jostles steadily as though being bounced in irritation in her hand.]

Okay. I really have no idea what’s going on, but if I find out that you’re behind this, Zelos Wilder, you’ll get more than a smack to the head.

[Her voice raises, and her brows knit together.]

Do you hear me?! [Sighs.] He probably can; he’s just waiting for his “voluptuous hunny” [sarcasm is evident] to calm down. Which isn’t going to happen. Zelos! I swear—[the picture shifts suddenly, becoming off-kilter and skewing rapidly as it reveals it’s falling past her legs.]

Damn! I don’t need more bad lu---[picture cuts out as the device hits the ground.]

[Zelos isn't familiar with the technology here, but with a guide and previous knowledge of all things Tethe'allan (and even some things with Cruxis)? It didn't take him long to figure out how to smoothly turn the video on to the image of his winking face.

He gestures his hand in a sort of salute with that wink.]
Yo! All you cute hunnies can stop worrying, now. The Great Zelos Wilder has arrived to save the day!

[He laughs after that, lowering his free hand and leaning just a little closer, showing off that signature smirk of his.] These guys really couldn't wait to have me here. But, I guess I can't blame them. [A pause, and then he flashes a grin as if breaking from one thought and moving onto another.]

So which of you beautiful ladies would like to meet the Great Zelos Wilder first? [And without any reference to any males existing in this place, he hangs up. IT'S A COPING MECHANISM OKAY.]

[When the video turns on the first thing you’ll notice is that Lain is wearing a scarf despite being indoors and, if her tank top can be any indication, fairly warm. There’s a bit of red peeking out on her neck over the scarf, but she clears her throat as if to drag the attention back to herself.

Her stomach churns and she swallows, squaring her shoulders and adopting a serious expression
]

I... [She trails off and turns a little red, loosing her will momentarily. A beat and she takes a deep breath, starting again]

My name is Lain Iwakura, and I’m one of the Zone Leaders of Outer Residential Quarter III. [A short pause] I’m afraid I haven’t been a very good one, though... I was... I was too scared to do anything, too scared of messing up or making people angry with me. So I left everything up to my partner, Neji, and got away with doing the minimum. I know that not many people trust me, because there’s more than one of me in my head and for...other reasons. [like remembering what Evil did with all their information]

And I know that that’s partly my fault, because I haven’t done anything to gain anyone’s trust either. But...I want to fix that.

[She sits up some, adopting a more commanding pose, face determined] So that why, effectively immediately, I’m taking over the Zone Leader duties completely. Neji isn’t in a good enough condition to do these things himself--he needs time to recover. So... from now on, anything that needs to go to him will go to me first, and I’ll talk to him if it’s something I can’t handle on my own. But I intend to step up to my responsibilities and become someone you can trust and depend on.

I know it’s asking a lot, and that it will take some time, but please bear with me. I hope it’s not too late to step up like this.

...Thank you.

[She pauses and wonders if she should have filtered that, then decides it doesn't matter. If there's anything private that has to be discussed she figures they'll filter it to her first. It's not like she's letting out any actual important information, right?

Now nervous about that, she turns her communicator off. She's already taken Neji's communicator from him, so any attempts to contact Neji directly will fail.

Look, I didn't ask to come to this world. Like the rest of you, I was pulled here against my will, so I don't owe Shibusen anything.

But, I've recently experienced what the witches of this world are doing to people. And knowing that I have the power to help people in this world, I can't really stand by anymore. So... I guess I'm saying I need a partner. I'm a sword, so I need someone who can use one.

[This isn't easy for her to say, and she's not sure if she's going to find anyone trustworthy enough to work with, but she feels like she has to try.]

I've been wondering something for awhile now...

Is it normal where you're from for girls to act however they want? Not that there's anything wrong with it! Only, back home they're usually expected to stay home and take care of babies and the only time I've seen a girl allowed to fight was during a barking revolution in an entirely different country so it's a wee bit strange to me.

[The apartment in the background doesn’t look like the usual free apartments in Casualty Communal. Those who are familiar with it may recognize it as the interior of one of the Death City Heights apartments.]

Hey. I just wanted to thank everyone who offered to try resonating with me before and to say that I’ve found a partner now.

For those who want to know, I’m partnered with Takasugi Shinsuke and I’ve moved in with him at Death City Heights.

[Aqua smiled faintly at the communicator. Things had been difficult for a while, and they probably would be again at some point, but for now, things were looking up and she intended to make the best of it. Though her smile falters a little, because she was really a lot less certain about what she needs to say next. But when she keeps speaking, her voice doesn’t waver and to the unobservant, her unease isn’t apparent at all.]

It also looks like I might be becoming your second Zone Leader for the Outer Quarter soon. For those of you I haven’t met yet, my name is Aqua and I look forward to working with all of you to help keep the city safe.

A-And they're from a different time and things happened and now you don't know what to think or feel about a lot of--

I guess I should say that I think Noa's gone from the city, for those who knew him. I've been looking out for him lately, but...well, I tried to find his room today but I think he's really gone. I found some notes - is there anybody named Zed in the city right now? Or Ran Fan, Auron, Kuroro, Kurapika...he left notes for all of you.

[He sighs. Being the bearer of bad news is never fun.]

Um, aside from that! There are new people coming in right now, right? Hi, everyone. My name is Emil Castagnier. I'm a meister currently working for the Watch, and I'm still looking for a weapon if I can. I'm best with a sword, but I can try and learn other things, too. I'm not entirely sure what my meister ability does yet, but I'm starting to figure it out. And I can try working with anybody, really, whether you're new or not. The only thing is...

[Emil hesitates, but continues on after a few seconds.]

There's another me that comes out when I fight. At home we used to call him my Ratatosk Mode. He's a little different from me as I am right now, but he's all right too. I know it's strange, but - I want to find a partner as much as anyone else here. So even though there's me, and the other me...if you don't mind that, if you still want to give it a try, I'm willing to try with anybody.

[Another pause.]

That's about it. Thank you.

Are there others from Tethe’alla or Sylvarant here?

[ There seems to be some silence as Mithos was making sure that it was on, before speaking. He was also a bit hesitant. This was a new world, so this was a situation that he wasn't used to. Especially since his sister wasn't by his side. He was trying to figure out what exactly he should say in this situation. After deciding that he would go with sometime simple, he finally speaks. ]

H-Hello. My name is Mithos Yggdrasill. I've just arrived here in Death City and been told of the situation. This place... is in a war. Against witches... this one is a little different from back home...

[ He seems to have droned out towards the end of the sentence. You might have heard the last part if you listened really closely. There's a bit of silence as Mithos ponders on what else he should say. Eventually he decides that it might be a good idea to see if any of his companions were here. It's a long shot, but there's always that chance that they could be there as well. ]

Ah... if I may ask does anyone knows of someone named Martel? Or a knight named Kratos? Maybe someone named Yuan?

[ He's really hoping that they're here. He thinks back to the situation they were in back home and withheld a sigh. Why of all times did it have to be right before he was to make a treaty with Tethe'alla and Sylvarant? He shakes the thoughts out of his head as he tries to think of more to say. Eventually giving up on the idea, he speaks more clearly as he says his final words:]

Thank you for your time.

[ There's a bit more silence. Mithos quietly speaks to himself, but one could hear it if they're quiet enough ]

Good morning, Death City. I hope everyone managed to sleep well given recent events.

Death the Kid has requested the help of the Watch in rebuilding portions of the city in the aftermath of the earthquake we experienced yesterday, but seeing as we all live here, I thought it best to open it up to the public. Anyone who would like to volunteer is welcome. In addition, anyone with any special skills related to building or carpentry is needed.

Also, a member of our organization, Auron, is holding another of his classes tomorrow. Please attend if you think you would find the information and skills useful.

That is all.


[Filter to: The Watch]

I've been asked to take a role call. I need to know who is still injured and unable to work their shifts, as well as who would be able to cover for those who still need to rest due to injury.

Thank you for all of your help during the time after the earthquake. We responded well, in my opinion.


[Filter to: FMA Cast]

I would like to hear from those from Amestris as well. My duties had kept me from properly keeping in touch. Is everyone well?

[A very wet nose suddenly peeks up at the bottom of the communicator's screen before the puppy's face comes into view. It looks quite like another dog she may have had to leave behind at home, only this one has a perfectly snowy coat.]

White Hayate! Down!

[She has not, however, had time to properly train the puppy, and so the communicator is quickly knocked off the table with a nudge of the animal's nose, which promptly cuts the feed.]
