Luck is just not on my side with these guys.

[Cupid is examining a smoke-covered wall beneath a broken window in her apartment, expression set into a frown that she's trying very hard to keep from becoming a pout. She gives her mirror a strained smile and settles a hand on her hip with a sigh.]

I hate to see it, but I don't think the show is that great an idea this week, all things considered. Maybe next week, huh? That said, please remember that my private inbox is always open just in case.

[She pauses a second, then smiles wryly, running her fingers through her bangs idly.]

Also- um... Joshua, wasn't it? I guess they were paying more attention than we thought, huh?

[A sigh and she turns her attention to the rest of her apartment.]

If anyone needs me, I'm pretty sure I'm not going anywhere for a while.

[There is quite abruptly a very upset teenage troll on the screen. He's glaring at the camera as if it has personally offended him. Normally he would have done this over text, but he wants to see familiar faces, and besides, the best speeches aren't given over text.]

Listen up, nooksniffers. Here's how this is going to go. I don't have time for this war. I'm already fighting in one, and that one I actually give a shit about. Since I can't leave until this place stops getting his ass kicked, the plan is to win this stupid war as quickly as possible so we can all get back to our miserable lives wherever we came from.

Okay? Good. So, what's being done around here to get everyone battle ready? Whatever it is, sign me up. I need to figure out this whole fucking "being a weapon" thing. [He even does the air quotes for added effect.] Talk to me about the training and shit. Otherwise, keep your squawk blisters shut and brutally destroy those Kishin things.

With one exception. [He raises his pointer finger at the camera. It is not the finger he's used to raising, and he very nearly flubs that up. He's used to giving speeches over text, alright. Maybe he should have done that instead...] I've already seen a couple of familiar faces around here, which leads me to believe there might be more somewhat tolerable assholes around here that I might be familiar with. If you are one of those losers, report to me so I know who's here and therefore not in as much grave danger. Worrying about you bulgelickers is a full time fucking job, alright, and I don't want to have to worry any more than I have to, because it's annoying as shit.

Alright, I'm out. [There's a little fumble and a muffled curse, along with a lovely view of the floor of Karkat's place in Casualty Communal before the feed cuts out.]

My dear Death City.
By this means I come to introduce my shop, Betty Crocker Bakery. In my universe, Betty Crocker has been a cultural icon and part of families’ food traditions—not to mention a trusted source for recipes and homemaking know-how—for more than 90 years. We have to offer dozens of different cakes and pastries at affordable prices and we are sure you will be to find one that is perfect for you and for your family.

You may have already found our cakes at Hikan Café, Doctor Franken Stein Classes and Morning Training for Guests Breakfast, and now you may find even more freshly baked cakes, sweet treats and pastries.
See our inventory, order through the communicator and pickup at the Bakery.

Your opinion is very important to us, so please, do not hesitate to contact Betty Crocker. But you may also come to us to learn; great cooks had to learn, and so can you. Find answers to all your 'how do you do that' questions with helpful tips, or ask for aid for cooking emergencies. We also would like to extend our hand to anyone who would like to form a pleasant business affiliation with our bakery, or to anyone who would like to join our bakery as an employee; we are currently looking for bakers, cashiers, busboy/janitors, but also for cooks and baristas.

I would also like to ask for your help, Death City. Because we focus on homemaking food, we feel that it’s important for us to bring part of your home back to life here in Death City. Recipes for your worlds, from your land and from your universes are most welcome and we would like to try bringing them to life. And you will be the only judge; if it pleases you, we will be happy to re-create your dish and share it with the rest of the city.

And finally, a simple inquiry, what is your favorite dish and your favorite baked good.

Thank you for your time and please, do not hesitate to ask any question you might have. I deeply appreciate your help. For it, I thank you.
Cordially yours,

Betty Crocker.

[ ooc: I'm sorry I had to filter this from all HS characters, but Condesce doesn't want anyone interfering with her business. And Ramza was filtered because Condesce remembers he was Meenah's weapon during the showdown that didn't happen in the end. Again, I'm sorry about this. ]

Greetings everyone. I know the past couple of days have been harrowing on many, and I hope the victims and those who participated in the rescue effort has had a chance to recuperate. I also would like to thank and commend those who helped.

However, although this was a success on our part, I'd like to inform and remind everyone that the situation around the city is still tense. Unfortunately, while we did apprehend all the kidnappers that were there, the masterminds behind the operation are still at large. Rest assured that those currently confined will be properly and thoroughly investigated, but you still need to remain vigilant for further suspicious activity.

In addition, the tunnels that were used in the kidnapping operation are being cleared out. Once all traps have been cleared and preliminary investigation has been done, everyone will have a chance to conduct their own searches and investigation as well. The preliminary investigation is only so there is little risk of important evidence being tainted or loss once the tunnels open.

And finally, we are still trying to find the lost possessions. If you have yet to receive your replacement communicator, please stop by Shibusen to acquire a new one.

[ sup Death City. have a video of Vincent, who seems to be sitting in front of a fan at the moment, a... distraught look on his face as he heaves a sigh. coming from a world where it was cold 24/7, the warm and sunny weather seems to be taking its toll on him. he's wearing nothing but a tank top, and probably boxers too, though that part of him isn't visible at the moment... his cheeks are slightly flushed, and he has a pouty look on his face as his hair billows slightly from the air from the fan. ]

Re-l was right about it getting really hot here...

[ ... er. right. the video! ]

U-Uh... I was wondering... what does everyone do to try and keep cool when they're hot? I've... never really been in a situation like this, so I'm not sure what to do. Usually my body adjusts to weather, [ thanks to his proxy self ] but I guess this is one of the things that changed upon my arrival... But... yeah... any suggestions would be great. I... don't want to hog the fan all day...

[ Have a pretty disturbed looking Audrey, hair pulled back out of her face. The camera shakes a little; is she shaking? Perhaps. ]

If anyone comes across a man named Tommy Bowen, please- Please contact me or Dwight.

[ She wasn't going to put out a public service announcement like this, but the recent kidnappings have her a little frazzled - and her nights full of tossing and turning once more. She could really use a session with Claire lately, but it's not likely to happen.

Her blue eyes focus on the screen, and she frowns deeply. ] Don't trust him.

[ Before she says anymore - which may or may not incite mass panic, a thing she does not want - Audrey shuts off the feed. ]

malandragem

[For once, Fabiola doesn't look anything remotely resembling cheerful when she turns on her mirror. When she speaks, it becomes very clear why.]

Bumblebee seems to have been returned. I will of course, wait until I am certain he will not be returning, however...

[However, considering that's the third of her friends in the last few weeks, she's not exactly counting on it.]

Regardless, I will be doing the rounds for my patrol if anyone needs me, and to all members of the Watch, I will gladly go where my assistance is needed when I am not on patrol.

[And god help anyone, Guest or otherwise, who gets up to anything while she's out and about today.]

snowman

[have a jack, looking uncharacteristically uneasy and standing in what is really obviously a girl's apartment.]

Anyone seen Cupid around? Y'know, does that relationship advice show, lots of pink, weird makeup? I hadn't heard from her in a few days, and there's all this fighting going on, and suddenly everyone talking about people being missing and there was no one here to answer the door, and...

[and he might have broken down the door to get in here. whoops. drawing a breath to calm himself down a little before he can keep rambling, he awkwardly runs a hand through snow white hair, eyes darting away from the screen.]

...Yeah. Just...lemme know if you know anything, alright?

luxuriant

Hey there, everyone! [The cheerful greeting is as loud as ever, and soon enough Zelos' face is grinning into the camera. When he backs up from it a bit, his free hand raises a soccer ball, tossing it lightly before catching it and hugging it to his chest.]

I'm looking to see if anyone knows how to play the game where you use this kind of ball. Some kids gave it to me when we completely aced the last mission, so... Heheh. [Pulling the most cocky face in the world right here, he raises his head a bit.] Anyone wanna help me out? If anyone's interested in playing, give me a call, too.

And if no one knows, well... [...] I'm sure I can make something up.

[And with that, he shuts the feed off. Though there's one more thing he adds on privately.]

[There doesn't seem a time when Cupid isn't in a good mood when she posts. That seems to just be her disposition though, and she waves at the camera with her usual beaming smile as she slips out of her boots in order to cross her legs on her couch.]

Afternoon, Death City! Got given an early day at work, so I figured I might as well put up the info for my matchmaking stuff while I have the chance. There's three separate forms, and once they're filled out, you can send them to my e-mail and I'll get started on seeing what I can do to partner everyone up!

[She reaches for something just out of sight- a pen and some fashion magazines, it looks like- and settles them on her lap, opening up a magazine and fiddling with the cover idly.]

Besides that- I'm looking for a partner myself! So if you can use a bow, or if you're willing to learn, then give me a shout. I'll give just about anyone a shot, and I'd really like to get started on missions, so don't be shy- I don't bite.

[Not hard, at least- and definitely not unless she's asked. Or she has to.]

Oh- one more thing! It's the weekend, and I've got the day off tomorrow so... [She gives the camera her biggest puppy-dog eyes.] Does anyone want to hit a club tonight? All work and no dance makes Cupid a seriously bored kind of ghoul. If there's no takers I'll still go of course, but it's always more fun with friends...!

( Private: Rise )

[At the end of the post, there are three links- Meister seeking Weapon, Weapon seeking Meister, and Matchmaking, as well as Cupid's e-mail address. Good luck getting partnered or matchmade, Death City!]

malandragem

[Once again, the late afternoon finds Fabiola perched on a rooftop, sun setting somewhere off to her side. She shifts slightly, tucking her legs up Indian-style, and waves cheerfully.]

I have discovered that 'paintball' is a fairly popular game in certain places- and here I thought Reborn was simply quite creative in his methods of, ah, 'encouragement'. Regardless, I have been wondering- would anyone care to participate in a game, if one was arranged? It would, of course, take some time, but...

[She tips a little to one side as a bird passes a little too close for comfort, completely nonplussed by how high she is or how precarious her perch is.]

I would be willing to make arrangements, if enough people were interested. What does everyone think?

Good afternoon everyone, this is Yuuichi! [He appears to be outside, sitting in the shade under a tree. Despite the rough wind today, he looks like he's enjoying being out.]

A~ah, it's such a nice day outside today, perfect weather for playing soccer! If I could play, I'd offer to have a match with someone, haha~

[He offers a big grin though, to show that he's not upset about being unable to play.]

Anyway, it's been a while since I've decided to talk on the Network like this! How is everyone doing?

amorini

[This evening finds Cupid on her couch again, a box settling into view in the corner of the feed while she makes herself comfortable.]

Wow, okay so- shopping for other people? Totally exhausting.

[As she speaks, she opens up the pastry box in front of her and withdraws a ridiculously decadent-looking cupcake, leaning back on her sofa and crossing her legs primly.]

Feels excellent helping them bring their wardrobe up to speed from whatever the last fashion era they got stuck in was, though.

[Not to mention she gets to dress people up all day. Score!]

But I've been thinking- since I got here, really- that helping people out with their issues might be why I'm here. Soooo...

What would everyone think of a little matchmaking? For people looking for Partners as well as people looking for romance- since really, they're both about compatibility to one degree or another. I'd have to make up some forms and stuff, of course, but I figured I should throw it out there, and see what everyone thinks...!

On top of that- would anyone be interested in an advice broadcast? I figure it'd be possible to broadcast over the network maybe once a week- folks can mail in questions for me to answer on-air, or just call in and ask live! What do you say? Good ideas or no?

[Though really, she'll probably wind up doing them regardless. She sits up a little straighter after a moment's pause though, and leans forward.]

--oh, and before I forget... [She reaches into the box again and pulls out another cupcake.] Got something for you Jack!

amorini

Well... at least they're generous about everything, aren't they?

[The voice is accompanied by the steady 'click-click' of heels along the floor- Cupid is obviously making this post as she walks to her temporary 'home' in this new city. If she sounds a little breathless though, it's more because of excitement than anything.]

I mean, I suppose it's the least they can do, all things considered, but you never really expect to find yourself in a situation like this and actually have people be pleasant about it.

--well, actually, I never expected to find myself in a situation like this at all.

[She laughs a little, seemingly entirely unconcerned with her predicament, and there's the sound of keys jingling, and a door unlocking.]

Whoa- okay, so this isn't... great. Not bad at all but- wow, there is no personality in this place. I'm going to have to do a lot of redecorating... [There's a pause, and the dull thud of a purse being set on a coffee table, and then the 'whumph' of fabric of someone sitting on a sofa.] I guess I'll have plenty of time for all that later though, huh?

[And still, she doesn't sound the least bit displeased. The video finally turns on to show a pink-haired girl, bone-like wings a-flutter with amusement, as she leans forward, setting her elbows on her knees and her chin in her hands.]

In the meantime, I guess I should introduce myself! [Her tone dips a little from cheery to compassionate, and a little more mature- cultured, even.] My name is kind of scary-long, so most of the time I just go by Cupid. And while normally, I stick to monsters, but I think given the situation, I can be a little more flexible-

--so, tell me Death City- what matters to your heart? After all, it's kind of my area of expertise.

[So after a few days from his initial arrival, Steve finally decides to use the communicator he's given. He's not averse to using it, if the technology is helpful he's gonna work with it. He looks at the device, his expression friendly.]

Hello, this is Steve Rogers. Word is that I was here before, but guess that's happened to others too. Don't have my memories of that time, but I'm not against reintroducing myself and meeting anyone I've worked with before. [He's actually a little angry about that, but he's not showing it. It's sorta the opposite of waking up in New York, but still frustrating in its own way. Regardless, Steve remains calm and polite on the video feed.]

Not against meeting new soldiers- people, either. Trust in your comrades is always important. Doesn't matter what world you come from.

want_the_world

New people, read this before you ask the same questions every batch does, and don't go hitting the damn SOS button when you're not in danger.

Oh, too late for that.

[He links to his FAQ.]

What can I say, it's tradition.

[private voice to Sollux]
I notice I haven't had my eyes seared by your text in a while. You all right?

[private voice to Yamazaki]
If you're still up for that field trip, I'm almost healed up.

[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.

thatkindofscum

[Hey, look! It's that Obito Uchiha kid! He's been hiding his face since Gai and Kakashi disappeared, save for the times he left the apartment for work, but now he is in a pickle and calling out to Death City.

He's sitting on the veranda of the condo he used to share with his old teammate and his rival. Poor kid looks pale, like he hasn't gone out in the sun in a while. At least today is bright and sunny. Along with his orange goggles he's wearing a headband with a very distinctive design that he hasn't worn in a long time.

Still not quite looking at the camera, he starts to speak.]

So... [Obito clears his throat] It turns out Fatality Condominiums is a little expensive to pay for on your own. My lease is gonna run out in a few days, too.

I guess I need a new place to stay, but... I don't really want to live alone. So, guess what I mean to say is... Anyone looking for a new roommate?

((ooc: Obito oocly does have new place lined up already, but thanks for your consideration as well!))

[S.O.S.]

[under the blaring sound of the alert siren, rosalia's voice comes through a bit frantically, followed by one much less familiar to the network.]

N-No! No emergency! Jack's new! I'm really sorry about this!

Oh. Whoops.
