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. ]

heavenly_earth

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.

bielefeld

[Since Yuuri's disappearance, Wolfram has been keeping to himself. Mostly. He does still attend morning practice and he is actively looking for a job, but...

He isn't his usual confident self.]

I don't see the point of me remaining in the city. I would be of more use back in Shin Makoku.

[But it isn't up to him. He doesn't have control over anything it seems.]

If there are no available Weapons attuned to fire, I want to at least become employed. I thought about taking over Yuuri's position at the clinic, but I would require training.

[Not that it would take much. He just isn't that interested in patching people up.]

I am well-read [in demon literature] and I can use a number of weapons - though I prefer a sword.

If the city possesses some sort of police force... [He isn't sure about the name.] I have the qualities necessary to become apart of it.

Yet I wouldn't be opposed to working in a library or in some sort of research capacity either.

[Wolfram pauses, scowling tiredly at the screen before he adds:]

I won't fight for those who control this city. They're too cruel.

spandexisyouth

[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.

My name is Sion Eltnam Atlasia and I have a simple request.

Considering that some of you are from various other places, I am willing to take a risk and say that knowledge bases are different between various universes. In my own universe, I am seeking one thing. And to get that thing, I just require simple answers.

What are vampires in your world?
Do you know any vampire legends?
Do you know any vampires personally?
Are you what would be considered a vampire?

Simply answer the questions that apply to you. At your wish, you can respond to me privately, if possible. If you require face to face communication, I am willing to acquiesce to such a request.

erostripperella

[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]

realimperfect

I'm beginning to realize I need to take it easy more often.

Without Iggy here to remind me I've been running myself ragged with work and being too busy minded to sleep.

So, Death City, what do you do to relax or unwind?

I'm open to any suggestions that are reasonable.

[ Because clearly what's 'reasonable' is a very obvious thing. ]

usedforcepalm

[Hanabi does her best to keep her expression neutral, but her voice wavers a little. She is upset, and people who know her well enough will be able to tell.]

For those who knew her, BREW has sent my older sister Hinata home.

[There's a polite nod to the camera.]

Thank you for your time.

[The video feed disconnects after that.]

awokentospring

[Lee is a little distracted today, and for the first time here in Death City he looks truly exhausted. He smiles, but as he speaks the smile doesn't quite reach his eyes.]

Good day, Death City! It is wonderful to hear that our mission yesterday was such a success and that we are one step closer in the battle against madness! I hope you are all inspired to continue your training as Weapons and Meisters here so that we may strike with just as much vigor in our next big mission!

And speaking of training, I wish to see you all at Morning Training again starting tomorrow! I was not able to make it today, and for that I apologize. Gai-sensei, I owe you an apology as well for missing our run this morning! May I ask that I have a moment of your time tonight? There is something I wish to discuss with you.

[And with that, Lee cuts his video...]

( Only to start a new private message for Neji )

soulsutures

[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.
( Cut for length )

conjecture_this

Resonance is an intriguing process as well as experience. I am glad to have had the opportunity to experience such.

[She pauses, looking thoughtful a moment.]

If I may, I wish to offer a theory. Perhaps part of why we may be brought here, aside from being of use to BREW, is for such new experiences. Is it not an often held ideal that experience leads to personal growth and learning?
I believe in this instance, that is how I shall view the processes I have so far experienced. Is my theory sound?

I have likewise been participating in some processes known as 'recreation' or 'down time'. I have found myself confused by--

[She flips through a pad of paper here. Yes, she did make a list.]

Shopping. While some of the stores are intriguing, there is nothing particularly recreational to the process. I fear I do not fully grasp the ideal and that it might lay outside the bounds of my conjecture.

May I ask for the assistance of another to explain this particular process?

lezard_valeth

[A pair of eyes are looking through the device, but quickly note that this object is recording.]

Ha! It functions! While similar to a scrying orb, it cannot divine that which was or what shall be. Oh, what a shame, but it will have to do.

[And the mirror is laid on a surface - propped atop a chair perhaps - revealing the rest of him. Glove-covered fingers adjust the gold-framed glasses rested atop his nose as his lips twitch into a grin.]

Well good morning, nonetheless. I am Lezard Valeth, one of your 'Weapons' in this aptly-named city. It is a pleasure to be thrust into another world filled with lowly beasts all-too-eager to feast upon the souls of man. You could say I've ample experience in dealing with such creatures... [And he enjoys a short fit of laughter with a further thought.] How amusing would it be were I inconvenienced with homesickness!?

[A devil-may-care shrug here.] Ah, but I digress. I seek a Meister with which to begin my participation in this campaign. My alternate form is that of a tome, but what function it serves must be further explored... Soul Resonance would undoubtedly be the key.

As for requirements, hm. [A hand to the chin.] To resonate with a woman may yield stronger results... though, I suppose I shall make exceptions for a better-fitting candidate.

And so my search begins. I look forward to meeting each and every one of you. [He dipped into a theatrical bow, and the feed ends.]

mywayofhelping

[A man with very long blue hair and a half-mask is looking quite calmly into the screen. He might be in a pleasant mood or it may be...something else. It's a bit hard to tell. About the only obvious thing is that he was one of the new arrivals the other day since he really should have stood out by now.]

I do appreciate the hospitality of our hosts under these aberrant circumstances. I'm afraid the inconvenience of this entire situation is already all too apparent, however. I have some rather pressing business to attend to.

[A pause.] But the odds of me being the only one in this situation are quite low, I'd suspect. Is anyone else mostly concerned with seeking the best way to leave this place? I would be interested to hear any information that's been gathered on the subject.

incinerare

[Forgive him for doing this a little late, but he's been busy adjusting to his new surroundings as well as learning about the responsibilities the other Roy had undertaken while he'd been here. He could see how they came about to a degree, and he'd likely be agreeable to possibly continuing them if he was asked to. He'd cross that bridge when he got there, however.

The man currently on the feed might actually look familiar to some, though there's one glaring difference between him and his previous counterpart. That being the obvious lack of an eye patch.]

Good afternoon, Death City. Roy Mustang. I've been made aware that this isn't the first time that someone bearing my name has been here.

[The idea of an alternate universe is still something like out of a novel. If he didn't already have physical proof of other more outrageous things happening here, he'd still be somewhat hard-pressed to believe it.]

Unfortunately, I am not the same man who was here previously. From what I've heard about him, he was apparently from a different timeline.

However, while I have no memory of this place, or the people who once knew this man... I am willing to help this city in the same manner as my counterpart did, if those in charge here are all right with that.

kuramaless

[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.]

nolicenseyet

[When the feed comes on, Eve isn't looking at the communicator. She had her head bowed, her bangs now long enough to obscure her eyes.]

Keroro's things are gone. [She should be happy, right? That he's home with his friends. But somehow...

Somehow, she felt like it would be better if he was still here.

She reaches out to cut off the feed, and those who were watching carefully may notice how her eyes were wet when she did.]

tembleques

[since there seems no way around it, he will contribute to the onslaught of newcomers on the network. he's not very keen of this communication system, but being on the loop of things is better than living the life of the secluded and sitting on his hands. kanda is also not here to make friends, nor to seem polite. (it's not his fault if people take it personally!)]

So we are in the middle of a war and yet it seems that there is plenty of time for domestic charades.

[and considering his pathetic drunken state upon first arrival, he... sort of missed out on some details about their stay in death city.]

I've lost something. Who do I have to bother to get it back, or is it part of this joke of a city?

donttelldaddy

Edward? Are you listening? I realized that I didn't get a chance to properly thank you for the other night, so, here it is.

I really appreciate that you didn't abandon me when I needed you the most, like a lesser man would have done. I also like that you speak your mind, even when you disagree with me, so that I don't have to spend my time agonizing over trying to decode you, when I could be pleasantly spending that time with you, instead. Thank you for that. I'd also like to thank you for sparring with me, and for being built like you can withstand an attack from something tougher than a kitten.

[Her voice is sweet, but with a bite, and yet sincere...none of her praise is sarcastic. Still, it's pretty obvious that this is a reaction to someone else more than it is to Ed.]

I think you're a great person, and not the type to make a fool out of someone and tell them what they want to hear only to break her heart at every single opportunity, like there's a medal for backstabbing on the line. There are a lot of people in this city who pretend to love and understand you just so that you'll settle down, and I'm glad that you're not one of them, because that would make you condescending and insensitive, not to mention a liar.

[Her voice gets softer, and loses the bitterness. You can almost hear the smile.]

So thank you, for being lovely. I know that you're not very interested in dating and girls, but I hope you'll reconsider. I'd like to go out with you, sometime.

followthetwine

[It's only a week late, but it's better than never, right? Right? Oh dear, hopefully someone didn't just...say that to her without meaning it. Because she totally took it at face value.

Also, she's been having issues with getting lost. Yep. No biggie there, happens all the time. Somehow, she's managed to find herself in a tree in the park. Because, you see, there's a very interesting story to go to that, but first...]

It almost reminds me of home, in a way. Well, Sundermount and Kirkwall, I suppose. Except with barking dogs! That I haven't heard in so long, really. When they're not trying to attack me. It's really nice. And cleaner, too! [And sunnier..and quieter. People haven't been barking at her either. Not yet at least.]

It's just Death City isn't a very nice name. It's so...dismal. If we named it something happy, maybe people would stay here longer. Or be happier about it. Death City just doesn't seem to inspire much confidence. [But wait--that's not entirely what she meant!] Not that it's really needed or anything, just something to think about.

[She kind of lowers the communicator, laughing nervously.]

Sorry. I ramble when I get nervous. I don't mean to, it just happens. I'll just...stop talking now. Yes.

[She fumbles with the communicator as she hasn't quite learned how to turn it off yet. There's a small, "Oops," as really the only thing seen is the ground rushing to meet the screen before it turns off.]
