[There is a labored breath as he tries to figure out what to say, unsure how to address the infinite number of people that could live here. After only a second's worth of further deliberation, he finally finds the words.]

I am Kratos Aurion.

[He begins stiffly, stiffening, though they can only hear the quality of his voice, deadpan and deep almost to an unsettling extent.]

Of course I am new here.

[Another pause and another sharp intake of breath before a slow and controlled exhalation.]

I'm not about to cut corners. I am only using this link to send out an inquiry for information. I understand the basics but ...

Harumph.

[Absently almost, he rubs at his face, voice becoming momentarily muffled.]

People who live here will have specific details that I am fairly certain I don't have

flamberge

[It has been one hell of a week for Kratos. Falling outs with students, near death experiences and living in a real daytime soap opera were just a few of the notable occurrences. He and Lloyd had only gotten back the other day after what could be called the mission from hell. The first thing Kratos did upon getting home? Promptly pass out. And stay passed out the entirity of the next day.

Up and awake now, there remains some house keeping to do. Kratos appears as calm and collected as usual, but a few signs pointed to not everything being normal. He's sporting several bandaids on his face, said face is overly pale and there's a few bandages poking up from under his shirt collar. Nothing overly serious, nope.]

I apologize for having neglected both my teaching and Watch responsiblities for the past several days. Due to circumstances beyond my control, neither Lloyd nor myself had been in the city until the evening of the 19th.

[And speaking of Lloyd, he's just going over to Kratos now with a glass of water. All things considered, he should probably help out with things while Kratos recovers. No matter how weird it all still is...]

I fully intend to resume my duties by tomorrow. [Kratos begins reaching for the offered drink.] Should anyon--

[Lloyd suddenly straightens in surprise, unintentionally pulling back his arm with the glass.]

Wait, what?! You can barely even walk right now! Wouldn't training just make everything worse?

[The unexpected movement causes Kratos to slightly over reach for the glass, which effectively irritates those broken ribs of his. Pain flashes across his face as he practically doubles over. Thanks for that, Lloyd, thanks.]

[Not quite realizing his own role in that, he continues.] See? Trying to grab something even hurt!

[He grinds his teeth and it takes a moment for him to reply.] It... It doesn't hurt. You're over-exaggerating.

But people only sound like that when they talk if they're in pain.

I told you [Deep, kinda shaky breath.] I'm all right. [He clicks off the device.]

flamberge

[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.]

Quit leaving all these books in the middle of the floor!

( Cut for two idiots bickering. )

battleprincess

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!

kill_some_time

Should anybody ask, tell them that Hades does not reside in this city. …you might also wish to omit any relation you have to gods or the like yourself.

[Family. Don’t you just love having to deal with them?]

demandsacrifice

[You can see a bulky man standing on the dinning hall of shibusen] [He takes a breath and starts to scream at the communicator, which causes the dinning hall to stare at him] ( read more... )

[[ooc: for people which would be on the dinning hall can react to it with action, other people can just complain about his loudness... and he will keep answering in a loud voice until someone explains him that he doesn't have to shout]]

blue_wayfinder

[Aqua was sitting by a window, with her knees draw up and the communicator balanced on top. She leaned back against the wall, posture relaxed.]

I've been wondering, does anyone come from a world with magic? If so, would you mind telling me a little about it?

[She reaches out a hand to steady the communicator when it slides a little to the left before righting it again.]

I specialized in magic back home, so I'm curious about what kinds of magic exists in other worlds.

[ private to Clover ]

I found a copy of the Grimm's Fairy Tales in the library. [She smiled.] I really enjoyed it; thank you for recommending it to me.

boredallready

Has anybody talked to Zelos lately? I haven't heard anything from him for a few days.

[Filtered from Kratos]

I just remembered that Kratos said his birthday is coming up. I feel like I should get him a present but I don't know what would be good. I could try to make something, but I only have til the 30th. And I'm pretty sure he wouldn't like anything I can make anyway.

Does anybody know what someone like him might want?

[ooc: Yes, Lloyd does mean February 30th. And it really is the date Kratos told him ~~or will when we get there~~. Feel free to point out the problem!]

blossomgale

[ The voice application was useful on the communicator, especially since Sophie didn't know how to read or write complicated words. She went for the video option, thinking it might be helpful for everyone to see her. With Shinra's help, she managed to figure out what most of the functions are designed to do.

The feed displays a young girl with long purple pigtails, peering worriedly into the screen. Of course, she's feeling a little troubled... especially when she thought she didn't have to worry about being left all alone so soon... ]

Oh. It's working, I think. Asbel? Do you see this? Your scent, voice, the sound of your footsteps... I can't sense how far or how close you and the others are anymore. Please, tell me you're here.

[ Practically all of her functions she was originally built with no longer work. There's a brief pause, like Sophie is expecting someone to say something. Then she continues to speak. ]

Back where I came from, there's also something very important that I need to do... but I know I can't go back right now. There's a war in this world. Does that mean... a lot of people are going to be killed?

I'll do my best to protect everyone.

With all these new people here and with a certain holiday tomorrow, I thought a date would be in order!

( Cut for looool picture )

You see this man here? His name is Kratos Aurion and he's just so lonely! He's currently 28 and is completely single! Would you ladies want a man like that in your life? He's more handsome than the picture looks but if you want a date, let me know and I can arrange something for you two ♥

ninjainviolet

[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.]

srslytoopretty

[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.]

younglife

[The feed begins with no sound, only a bit of breathing at best. Half a minute goes by like this, until Nanako gets her resolve and decides to be brave and just get through it. She starts...]

He... Hello. My name is... Nanako Dojima. I'm seven years old and I... like Junes.

Um...

[She speaks slowly, nervously, shyly.]

Has anyone seen my dad? His first name's Ryotaro, and he works a lot. Sometimes he gets angry and yells, but he's my real father and I love him a lot. I don't think he'd like it if I was here without him... He always wears his jacket over his shoulder and sometimes he smokes when he thinks I'm not looking. He had a partner... his name's Detective Adachi. I don't know if he's here either... But if he is, um, he probably knows where Dad is...

[Um.]

It's a pleasure to meet everyone, and, um, thank you for your help! [In a hurry, the feed disconnects.]

boredallready

[Lloyd is standing in the park. There's an object just to his left but just the top is visible right now. He's once again a bit cranky, but at least there's a good reason this time.]

Does anybody know why everything's been acting crazy yet? It's...

[Suddenly he snaps his head toward the object, and as he does so the picture shifts so it shows what he's now directly glaring at. It's a horrible, diabolical...

...water fountain.]

HEY! You're really starting to piss me off, you know that? What's your problem?!

princelyspirit

[The feed opens up to the zoomed in image of a large, bright blue eye. It blinks and a voice mutters in the background, before it pulls back and reveals the face of a young girl in her early teens. Her long, pink hair falls to the side as she tilts her head, and begins to speak]

Hi, I'm Utena Tenjou, one of the new meisters here. And, well...Okay, so. You all remember the Kishin Chamber, right? You know, dark, gloomy, filled with statues and rubble?

[tilts her head back up, and looks off to the side]

And you all remember what he – what Mister Albarn – said about the war, the city, and all of that. And I get that, I think. But...

[the feed blurs as Utena waves the phone towards the window, and soon it refocuses on image of Death City's infamous sun. It smiles down, as bright and creepy as ever]

What's the deal with that?

boredallready

[Fail filtered from Kratos]

[Aforementioned fail filter is because he's a little on the completely tired side. And he seems pretty cranky on top of that.]

Who seriously wakes up at 4 in the morning to train? Or for anything?

Other than Kratos, I mean. [It's hard to tell if he's talking to himself now or not.] What the hell was I thinking, he's such a jerk...!

this_is_keron

[Have what appears to be a red frog looking out at you from the communicator with his arms crossed and speaking with a no-nonsense tone of voice.]

How many people here had actual combat experience before being brought here? And how many of you have been in a warzone before?

[Assessing the capabilities of your allies is important! Though how seriously will you take a talking red frog, anyway?]

knightofcourage

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.

yearslost

[The feed turns on to show a pink pigtail, and after a minute it backs up to show her whole face. Enter Presea, who...looks rather unfazed despite everything going on. She’d gotten her briefing already, so most of her questions were answered on that at least.]

Are there others from Tethe’alla or Sylvarant here?

[She pauses, thinking things over.]

If anyone has any knowledge of those worlds, or knows anyone who may have knowledge of them, please tell me.

Thank you.

fonicmelody

[ She was still getting used to using the communicator, but after commenting around for a while, she's comfortable enough to make her own post. She wanted to introduce herself, and offer her assistance and all that. ]

--Oh, it's working. Good.

Ah…Greetings. My name is Sergeant Tear Grants, of the Oracle Knights Intelligence Division. Though I doubt my rank is of much consequence here. I’m one of those that just arrived, so please bear with me while I get used to how things in Death City are run. I'm hoping to be able to do my part soon enough.

Also, I was wondering where I would be able to find more information on this world. I've only been here a short time, but even so, I've noticed a number of glaring differences between this world and my own. It would be prudent to learn of any others, especially whilst fighting a war on foreign soil.

That being said, I would like to make it known that I will do everything in my power to keep the civilians of this place safe from harm. While this world is not my own...it is my duty as a soldier. This situation may be less than ideal. However, I look forward to cooperating with you all to bring this war to an end as quickly as possible.

[ Okay that…covers that, she supposes. Man she is not good at this. Should she say something else? It seemed trivial to ask meaningless things… so…

There's a small pause before: ] That is all. Thank you for your time.
