YO, people of Death City! I got somethin' important to talk about.

I dunno how far word has spread, but I've been told by a few people now that there's this legendary sword who gives the users ultimate powers and can win this war. Dunno why no one's tried to find it yet -- but I've been lookin'! It ain't in the toilet of Keroro's shop, by the way, Luna.

[ Natsu holds up the LEGENDARY BOOK OF EXCALIBUR. Then he flips through to show a picture of the sword embedded in stone. ]

It's apparently in this cave. So here's what I'm thinkin'. We go get it. We take a day to prepare a team and then go out and get our hands on the weapon. Lots of us wanna go home, right? Shibusen needs us to win the war, right?

[ He taps the book's cover with his hand. ]

This is our best shot. Who's with me?

This city doesn't offer much in way of entertainment, does it?

[He smiled at the communicator with his chin resting on his hand and his body leaning to one side. Even dressed in casual clothes, Waltz's body language betrayed his aristocratic roots. Not that he was even trying to hide it at all, not with the way he was sitting in his arm chair much like he would have sat on the throne of Forte.]

Those missions sound interesting though. I don't suppose anyone would be willing to take on one with me? I'm a Weapon, more specifically a rapier. If anyone wanted to try this, ah, resonating business, I wouldn't be adverse to it.

[The tiny girl on the screen looks like she's concentrating hard on the multitude of computer parts in front of her, working diligently at taking apart a computer and putting it all back together again, for no other reason then because she can.

At length she speaks quietly
] Have you ever had that feeling like you've been forgetting to do something; and it's like an itch in the back of your head you can't quite get to?

[Lain frowns, putting her screwdriver aside and looking like she's working hard to remember. After a moment her eyes widen] Oh! This is the day we decided our birthday would be! How did we forget...?

[The voice that comes out of Lain then sounds distinctly different from the one before, body language subtly shifting to become more aggressive and confident. Bold sighs] Aarrghh, it's not like we're used to this! [She looks momentarily thoughtful] You know, who knows how many years we've actually been active. Let's say we're 21 now.

Bold... [Looking reproachful at--well, at the air, Lain then turns her attention to the communicator, picking it up to peer at it with solemn eyes and a serious expression] We've never celebrated a birthday before. What are we supposed to do?

[While she's not doing anything to celebrate the holiday, Luna is nonetheless dressed festively, in a rather fluffy pink sweater with the arms rolled up. Her mood is somber, though... or maybe she's just frowning slightly and not blinking quite enough.]

I'd be worried about the chocolates, if I were you. Since candy is one of the most delicious substances in the world [after pudding, of course] it's almost one of the most dangerous. It's simply too tempting for many to avoid eating.

Logically, they must be from Shibusen -- who else would utilize a mass distribution to the people they brought here? And from seeing what's happening around the city...

[She's got this shit all figured out, don't you worry.]

They must be charmed to impact our prowess on the battlefield. Soon, we'll be fighting Witches with hugs.

If you've already had some, keep an eye out for sparks coming out of unusual places in your body. That will be the next effect.

[The feed blips on to reveal a rather messy-looking young man. While his face is a little dirt-smudged and there are a few leaves in his hair, he still holds a very striking resemblance to another prominent member of Death City.]

Good day, Death City! It is I, Rock Lee, here to greet you on this fine day!

[Grinning widely, he holds out his communicator to view the city from his place high, high up... somewhere. Anyone familiar with the layout of the city would know he was in the middle, like he might be at the top of the steps of Shibusen, but he's actually much too high for that.

He continues to allow the camera to survey the city as he continues.]


I arrived in this grand city only a few days ago. I apologize for delaying my greetings to you all until today, but I had made it my goal to scout out every inch of this city, which I have just completed! Never you fear, the beautiful beast of Konoha will remain ever vigilant while here in Death City!

[Have your characters had a feeling someone might have been leaping from tree to tree, or maybe there was a man on the ceiling but when they looked up he was gone? Thaaaaaaat may or may not have been Lee.

He returns the camera to his face, and now if you look closely you can see that he's sitting on one of the spires of Shibusen.]


My arrival has come at an excellent time. There seems to be a holiday in progress! But I would warn anyone off the strange looking chocolate. [He pulls a face.] It tastes like fish, which is not proper chocolate!

[And that is your Rock Lee PSA of the day! The camera shuts off after one more look at Lee's dazzling smile.]

[This one is quick and businesslike, and Kasuka sounds and looks as flawless and flat as ever.]

I'm getting tired of sitting still and doing very little. Right now, it seems I'm only living off of my brother's graces.

I don't know if I'm capable of resonating with anyone, but if someone would like to try, please contact me. I'm a weapon... I've only tried to transform a few times, but it seems my form is some sort of camera.

Aside from that, what do you usually do to pass the time? I'm not used to having so much empty space in my schedule.

Thank you.

[ Life in Death City hasn't been too difficult to get used to. There are a couple differences from back home, but it's usually nothing a guy like Tsurugi can't handle. Some of his friends people from back home have even shown up recently, so things aren't looking too bad.

But there's one thing he can't quite adjust to.

See – it turns out not everyone in Death City comes from a world obsessed with soccer. Some of them don't even know what it is. And that's terrible. Especially since a certain group of soccer boys would like to get a match or two going one of these days.

So he has come to the network with a very important question. ]

Who here has played soccer before, or has at least heard of it? It doesn't matter if you're any good or not. Let me know.

Hey everyone! The name's Taiki Kudou, pleased to meetcha!

So, I just have one question. Why is a place called Death city.......so pink?

[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.]

[The feed treats viewers to a full-screen shot of a mutant turtle's face, bedecked in a red bandanna facemask, a beaten-up hat with the words 'Turtle Island' inscribed on it, and a patch stretched over his left eye. The turtle doesn't look happy.]

Alright, so, name's Raphael. Obviously, I'm here to help out in this 'war' going on. Sure, yeah, I'm doing it to get home, but what I've heard also means it's the right thing to do. Wouldn't be the first time I helped out in savin' the world, probably won't be the last.

[He looks off to the side for a moment, then takes a deep breath.]

I s'pose there's no other mutants here, especially not other mutant turtles, judgin' by the way people've looked at me. Don't know if that's good or bad, but I guess it means my brothers aren't here, so I won't bother wastin' anyone's time by asking about 'em.

That's... that's all I've got in the way of introductions, really. I guess you all can ask me questions if you want. Maybe you'll even get answers. [He lets a smirk slip out.] No promises, though.

[Santana greets the camera with a smile, something the network hasn't seen in a while from anyone. She's not totally feeling the smiling, since she's still a little worn out from that last week of mayhem, but she keeps it up pretty convincingly so she can make her pitch.]

Hey. I'm sure you're all aware, but Valentine's Day is right around the corner. If you come from one of those sad worlds that don't know what that is, it's the fourteenth, and basically what happens is you buy things for people you want to make out with. Usually chocolate.

But since the collective confidence of the girls here couldn't fill a damn lipgloss tube, and I'm just a great person who would feel awful if I didn't give back, I'm offering a one time only workshop called How to Be Confident and Sexy and Get What You Want. You girls need this.

[Fuuka, Kaoru, she's looking at you.]

BREW has pretty good taste, so most of the people here are marginally hot already, with a little guidance, there is no excuse for being single on Valentine's Day. If there's nobody here you're just dying to fondle, find someone cute to go on a date with. With so many nervous and skittish people around here, we're all in danger of having the most depressing Valentine's Day ever, and I can't let that happen.

So, Death City Heights, building seven, apartment 1B, Thursday. That gives you two days to work your new magic, which should be more than enough.

Any questions?

The past few days... they have been particularly hard ones, haven't they? [Fuu sighs, wearily. She's tired. It's hard not to be.]

I think now might be a good time to ask, if anything... what would you suggest to do to relax in the city? Back home, I'll admit I spent most of my time indoors, but reading and playing games tend to be solitary hobbies...

And I would like to meet more friends, and spend time with the ones I have.

[The video starts with only darkness and muffled sounds as if the communicator has fallen with the mirror side down on the floor. The voice that can be heard has a Texas accent and sounds frustrated.]

Dag nab it! Why am I in this cotton-pickin’ place again?

[There’s a sliding sound as the mirror moves a couple of feet over the floor, accidentally kicked by its owner who finally realizes that it’s on the ground.]

[As the communicator is picked up and turned around, the first thing visible is a small X cut into the person’s palm, still bloody. It leaves a smudge of red on the mirror which slightly obscures the video as it turns to a glimpse of the Kishin Chamber and then a woman in a black dress who hasn’t appeared on video over the network before.]

[After being sent back to San Francisco by BREW in the aftermath of the invasion, Lily has returned after exorcising a demon from the School of Fine Arts and having a confrontation with a murderer. It’s a bit difficult to tell from the dim lighting but her face and other visible skin seem to be covered in insect bites, glass shrapnel, and tiny droplets of blood. If anyone else had been in the room with her, they might have also noticed the smell of sulfur on her clothes and hair.]

[Although her injuries are superficial, Lily knows that she must look about as attractive as three miles of bad road. There’s a brief flicker of panic when she sees that the communicator seems to be recording; not due to vanity but the incriminating state of her appearance. She fumbles with the mirror, trying to turn it off. Hadn’t she left this thing in a drawer in her apartment? She never liked technology much and this doggoned phone wasn’t doing much to change her opinion.]

Man, things have been really hectic past few days. [With the monsters attacking the city and the number of people he had to rescue...and to top that, there was the Madness going on and those kidnappings he had heard about, orz] This whole war situation is worse than I thought...[And incredibly inconvenient when you’re only armed with your fists, as Zidane has discovered]....those monsters would have been less of a handful if I had my daggers with me...

So, I’ve been doing a little bit of thinking. It looks like I’m not gonna get far in this place without someone to partner with. So, I was wondering if anyone is still looking for a Weapon to go on all those missions? If you’re a girl and you’re cute, that’d be a bonus!

Er...Chika, you said you were up for a few missions? Is the offer still on?

[The communicator clicks on to heavy breathing.

You'd be breathing heavily too, if you just spent the last few hours or so of your life, tearing apart your brother's apartment--and then your own out of sheer frustration. She knows what's happened, though, and for once, there's nothing she can do to change it.

There's no one she can kill that would change BREW's mind, and she's not even in the mood to celebrate the successful rescues.
]


...Hey. Instead of whining every time someone's been sent home, has anyone ever figured out why BREW decides kick them to the curb?

[It doesn't seem right that it gets to throw people out like useless trash. Especially not someone like Snake.]

It's not like I've been doing all that much... [Aside from maybe some meaningless deliveries--only because no one else could be bothered to do them.] Why am I still here?

[She's just going to mope and generally be pouty and angry and miserable.

Whoops?


...Click!]

[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.

[Haruka's still stuck in her bed in the clinic, and that's why she's got it on audio. Firstly, so that nobody who sees her post is bugged by the dim lighting and secondly, so that she doesn't create any more light than necessary.

Her voice is quiet, but can be heard just fine.]


Hey... My name's Haruka.

...I can't sleep. And I've got some questions that I'd really like to find the answers to. Um, I'm still pretty new here, and I haven't gotten out that much so I know I'm bound to be asking questions that were already covered, but I'd just really...

I just want to understand things better.

...So if it's okay:

[There's a pause, and Haruka takes a slow breath to calm herself a little.]

Okay. How did the Witches become evil? Was it the nature they were born with? Are they raised to be evil? Or does something horrible happen to them and then they turn bad and become a Witch? Does that mean they were regular people once too?

And, um... They're...

All of them are the bad guys, right? No exceptions.

[On the DEMISE now was a woman clad head to toe in black, with two guns at her hips as she was perched on a rooftop. Her hair (which is pretty damn long) is fluttering in the breeze.]

I never thought that witches were truly this destructive. It feels like a challenge to actually rise up to.

[There's a bit of a smirk on her face. Some might think she's off her rocker, being more interested in the fight than going out to actually save people.]

I think I'll try out this mission thing. Maybe going toe-to-toe with a fellow witch would be something worth experiencing.

[ The feed begins with Natsu slamming his fist into the wall -- the plaster cracking and crumbling beneath it. Hell. It probably provides a view into Lucy's apartment now. But he doesn't seem to care, dislodging his fist and keeping his gaze away from the mirror. ]

All of these people, taken right under our noses -- and there wasn't a goddamn thing we could do to stop it. [ His words are calm but dangerous, and after narrowing his eyes on something unseen, he finally casts a glance at the communicator. ]

I need a weapon. I'm going to rescue her -- rescue ALL of 'em! And if a weapon's the only goddamn way to unlock your fighting potential in this world, I need one for this mission 'cause I ain't sittin' back and lettin' anything happen again! I'm used to usin' fire, but I don't give a shit what kinda weapon you are. We'll work it out in the training area before we leave. If we got the same resolve, 'm sure we can overcome everything -- even resonance.

[ He pauses, lingering in silence. A look of determination slowly takes place on his features when he speaks again. ]

That BREW thing made me a meister for a reason, and even though I'd wanted to be a weapon from the start -- I'll step up and embrace what I am here, what you guys made me, and fight with everything I got to keep those important people safe. That's the kind of thing you can expect of a mage from Fairy Tail!
