Once again, I come to you with three questions that I require an answer to very quickly.

How does one judge physical beauty?
How would someone make themselves more beautiful?
Is it possible to use more underhanded methods in a competition involving physical looks?

While I am making these inquiries, please keep in mind that they have no bearing on anything in my near future. Nothing at all. So please do not ask. [No plans on cheating to win, nope.]

Greetings, Death City! [Have a happy, bouncy Lee right in your face.]

It has come to my attention the the up-coming Beauty Contest may in fact be biased towards women. However! Myself and another concerned citizen--[Eridan Ampora]--have decided it is only right for there to be another contest!

A contest about Masculine Beauty!

Yes! I mean, a Chest-Baring Competition! Let no man feel he is not beautiful in his masculinity! We shall rise and express the true essence of Manhood! Who is with me?

For those who knew of him, Naruto Uzumaki has returned to the--[ There's a pause here, almost as though she intended to say something like 'battle', but instead is cut short with a different word. ]--home. He's gone home.

[ It wasn't like Naruto to keep quiet, but Sakura held off for as long as she could before making the confirmation. So it was only right for her to share her findings with everyone else. First Hinata, then Naruto... how many others were going to return before she could? Maybe she should have held off on this information since today was Hanabi's birthday, but it was better to get it out over this than in person. At least for her. ]

I'm going to be busy today, but if anyone feels that they need to talk about it, I can make some time to be there for you. [ Satisfied with that, it cuts off. ]

On the 27th, my young cousin will be celebrating her 11th birthday. We'll be hosting a small celebration for her and those friends she's made here in Death City. As I'm not aware of all those whom she's connected with, this is a general invitation.

It won't be anything elaborate, just a small event with food provided and only in need of a few others and a handful of gifts. I'm hoping that despite her recent loss, Hanabi-san will be able to enjoy herself for a time. This will however, ideally be something of a surprise, so I'd appreciate some discretion among her friends.

As an additional note, there will not be any alcohol present and I don't expect to find any brought in. That is all, thank you.

[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.

[Stripp smiles and waves at the camera. Her wounds from the mission are still there, but she doesn’t look too hurt, honestly] Wow, I haven’t posted in a long while.

I know there were new comers some time ago, and I didn’t have the chance to meet you all, I'm sorry. My name is Stripperella. I’m a Meister and my Weapon is Bayonetta. And I have been here for nearly six months.

Anyway, me and Bayonetta both work at the Bare it all Strip Club. For those who are old enough, feel free to drop by, we’d love to see you guys there. [she winks] I promise the show is amazing.

[now, onto some other things]

Sheena, would you like to go check out the bikes, today?

Oh, and Leon. Still want to have a drink? [or was it a date? She doesn’t know]

[When the video cuts on, clearly it's a last minute decision with some part of a conversation missing.]

--EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEIN!!! WHAT DID YOU DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO?!

[Don’t mind Spirit, he’s just going to take off his jacket, tie and shirt to try and find ALL THE NEW SCARS he won’t be surprised to see there. And make a count of them. Where they are, how many, and how big.]

I HAVE ENOUGH SCARS ALREADYYYYYYY!!! Wait, what are you doing? Are you recording this?! TURN THAT THING OFF! STEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEIN!!!

Just letting the others know we're back home. You really should think twice before taking off your clothes, but I'm sure that's a thought that's never occurred to you before.

[The second voice comes from off screen, but his amusement is clear enough in his tone.]

Though I suppose it's a rather accurate first impression for some of the new guests to get of you, don't you think?

YOU COULD HAVE WARNED ME FIRST!

[Okay, don’t mind him again. He’s on a race to get his shirt back on, and probably manages to get it on with all the buttons messed up. Forget the tie, it can wait.]

...And just what is that supposed to mean?

Oh nothing.

[The video shifts as the device is set against something so it gets a proper view of both the disheveled Spirit and a mildly amused Stein lighting up a cigarette.]

Introductions are in order, aren't they senpai? You can go first, I'll let you try and save whatever reputation you think you have.

[Slamming his communication mirror down switches it on, and he stares at the screen for a while.

It might not have been intentional, but as long as it's on and recording--]

Didn't think the stupid ramen shops would stop givin' me any ramen so fast.

[His voice drops, whiny and obviously attempting a terrible impression]

"Sorry kid you're gonna eat us outta stock."

[Thunk. That'll be the sound of his head slamming against the counter... followed slowly by the gradual boil of a kettle somewhere nearby.

His hand slams down on top of the device a moment later, thereby turning it off.]

Fuck.

I'm declaring an emergency situation. My partner's birthday is tomorrow, and I'm nowhere near done getting ready. It's not any stupid birthday, it's her eighteenth, so it has to be awesome. I need a cook, a baker, someone to help decorate, someone with a sick set of speakers, and someone who owns a really cool and rare weapon, and can keep up a conversation about it for like, three hours.

She's probably never even had a real party, since recreation of any kind is banned where she's from, so this is super important. You'd change her life.

[ When the screen comes to life it doesn't show a face or anything of the sort. Instead, there's a pair of feet with the remnants of green nail polish along the toes, surrounded by papers everywhere. Papers with various scratches on them litter the floor of a common apartment, notes taken in a hurry of the area and of the people she's seen in passing. Not that the owner of these feet have interacted with them, no, these are definitely the notes of being watched in silence. Maybe one of them is a bit too recognizable for one's liking, but there's not much time to read before the scene abruptly changes. The blur is quick and then suddenly there's a girl with an irritated expression on her face. Holding her hair back is a significant band and while it's a risk to be seen with it, there's a brave disposition in showing it so freely. Well, to her at least. For those who are unaware, it's just another accessory for a girl's hair. ]

So there's no button to just turn it on, no, it just decides when it wants to start recording. [ Clearly a novice, but a quick thinking one as it didn't take her long to realize it's working. ] That's how it is, huh? Telling me I'm the type that will probably need a second communicator because I'll shatter my first one. [ Twitch. Twitch. ] Turns out this thing is pretty resilient. I'm grateful, really. I don't need seven more years of bad luck.

[ The angle of the view changes as she seemingly balances the communication device on her knees, staring down at it with a curious look. After spending a few days here, the darkened proof of exhaustion has just about left her face, but etched in her expression is concern, almost as though she's worried about something unspoken. Her thoughts are never brought up thought as she waves her right hand as a nervous gesture, trying to lighten up the mood with a half-hearted smile. ]

Sorry, sorry. It's common procedure for those who are new to introduce themselves, right? [ Although she suspects that she's not alone here, hence why she chose to wear the protector. ] My name is Sakura Haruno. Now that that's out of the way, I have to ask a question.

[ With as serious of an expression one can muster when asking a ridiculous question: ] Is there a reason for the toys of Kakashi-sensei?

[Obito stares at the camera for a while, looking a little lost. He's got his goggles on, as usual, but once again he's missing his Uchiha jacket and Konoha forehead protector.

Blinking his dark-rimmed eyes, he sighs and looks off to the side.]


I need a new jacket. And a camera.

[He's not going to elaborate on why.]

... And what is everyone's favorite kind of pizza?

[Anders looks tired as he looks at the mirror. He's a little off-center; he still isn't quite certain on using this thing.]

I could use some help, if anyone would care to explain what some of the things in my accommodations are for. There's one that makes a noise and is cold inside, another has a knob with several numbers on it? I don't know what the box with numbers is either, or why it's pink. I don't particularly mind pink. It's just that it reminds me of the way one of my greeters blushed at nearly everything I said. Kanji.

[He smiles faintly at that. Teasing helps distract, and he needs distractions.]

I'd also like to know why we wind up without our abilities. It seems extremely discriminatory to strip people of who they are, and it's traumatizing as well. I understand that I'm a Meister, but there's no comparison. It's...

[He leans back, putting his hand on the kitchen sink handle and turning it on by accident. Unfortunately, the previous resident left a rubber band around the hose nozzle, and Anders winds up sprayed by a sudden gush of water.]

Maker's breath!

[It's clearly a curse, and he shuts the Forge off before trying to figure out how to stop the water.]

[G'kar is standing in front of the camera, looking dead at it. His brow furrows, he concentrates...and turns into a thick, old, leather-bound tome. Which, naturally, falls to the ground immediately. After a second he reverts, and then stands back up.]

Did you see?

[The sequence repeats itself. He turns into a book, falls to the ground, reverts, and then picks himself back up. He seems oddly excited about this.]

It's a book, isn't it? My...'weapon' form, I'm certain it's a book. But I can't figure out how to get a good look at myself when I'm transformed! What kind of book is it? What does it look like? Please, tell me, you have no idea what this might mean for me!

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.

[Kakashi's masked face appears on screen, the basic decor of the ninja's condo behind him. Both of his eyes are visible, with the useless Sharingan open. It's late in the evening and Kakashi looks a little tired, but there's just the slightest hint of a frown to his face. Something worries him, but he's not sure yet if there's actually cause for worry, and he's certainly not willing to really express it. But one of their housemates--the most responsible one--didn't come home for dinner tonight, didn't have a mission, and it's nearly bedtime.]

Has anyone seen Sai? Nice kid, in his late-teens, male, short dark hair, pale skin...kind of expressionless. [A pause. How else do you describe Sai. He's fairly nondescript, like a good ninja.] He's an artist. His weapon form is a paintbrush.

Naruto, if you see your teammate, have him drop us a line, ok? His communicator isn't responding. [Please let this be a glitch. He doesn't want to have lost another teammate.]

The problem with questions, memories, and interactions is that once they occur they are difficult to forget or take back. I am struck time and time again, as people appear and leave this place, how people are difficult and painful gateways to new experiences..

And yet as they possess the power to bring great beauty and opportunity to learn, they also bring with them the ability take their piece of truth and the spice of their life with them when they disappear from this city.

Truth and memories are horrifically inescapable. Don't you think?

[The feed switches on, and for a few minutes there's nothing but Naruto-- staring at the screen, pouting.

It's pretty obvious by the end of the second minute that it wasn't his intention to post anything to the network, but these dratted things, and this stupid application.

Frustration, eventually, gets the better of him.]

... Why do I have to do a stupid application anyway!

This is ridiculous!

[Just like that the device spins off into the corner of his room, enjoy the spinning for those seconds until he falls still--]

Er.

[There's blond hair hanging over the screen a second later, concerned eyes wide, and in the process of checking the health of his device he manages to shut it off.]

I keep seeing this and that about all the war and fighting, but tell me-- do any of you want to dance? Or even better, are there any among you bold enough to do daring things on stage?

We have an opening at the Bare-it-all Strip Club, and it's been there for quite a while. Boys and girls are both welcome. I'm hoping there could be someone here bold enough to try out. If you're curious about what we do, feel free to drop by. I'll be dancing all this week.

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.]

[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?

[The camera shakes a little in trembling hands. While Obito is speaking, it's dark and his eyes are cast down, hidden by the shadows. He's obviously inside a room. A window is visible behind him, but very little else can be discerned. The sound of something scraping against metal can be heard from off the screen.

Obito just sits there, breathing unsteadily. Finally, he swallows and speaks in a quiet voice.]

... Itachi-kun is gone.

[He swallows and speaks again, this time a little louder.]


Uchiha Itachi is gone. Back home. [Obito swipes the back of his hand across his face.] There are some things here. I... [His voice catches.

Before he can completely break down in front of the whole network, Obito shuts off the video.]
