[Mami's softly smiling face appears on the network, a steaming cup of tea in her hands. Obviously she wasted no time in hunting down some tea for herself upon her arrival here.]

Ah, good evening everyone! I am Mami Tomoe, a new resident of the city. It's a pleasure to meet you all.

Mmm, I hate to be so forward so soon after my arrival, but I was hoping to find at least one of my kouhai here - just to confirm that they're alright.

[There is concern in her tone there, though she seems to be trying desperately to hide it.]

Thank you very much for your time.

[With that, the feed ends.]

[The video begins in a very interesting and rather lovely room, quite different from Death City's usual fare: The feed appears to be coming from a very BLUE lounge, lavishly decorated with sofas, cloth-covered tables, and the bluest curtains. A pair of cabinets are in the shot, one carrying various types of glasses and a few bottles of this and that. The other is filled to the brim with books, though titles can't be determined. If the viewer listens hard, there's a relaxing tune going on in the background, completing the display.

That... and the two people within the shot. There was Kanji, seated atop one of the tables, and Naoto stands with an open book propped atop one hand. The observant can tell there's something odd with the way Kanji and Naoto are dressed, just as blue as the room among... other things. But that's not important. Standing as a stark contrast among the blue are bright red armbands on the left upper arm of both individuals, reading 'S.E.E.S.' on each.]

[Naoto nods, clearing... her? thoat. Seems a pink in the face and a little embarrassed.] Good evening. It's been some time since SEES matters were addressed, and we apologize for the silence.

[Kanji's looking less embarrassed, despite the attire.] We got a lotta new people in Death City since the last time, so consider this not only a 'SEES is ready to fire up again', but a 'hey, welcome to the weirdest goddamn city. If ya don't like Halloween, well, you're kinda screwed.'

[Naoto frowns at him briefly.] Be that as it may, SEES is open to new and old faces alike. We all meet here, in the Velvet Room, located in the Shopping District. You've seen our table set up before Casualty Communal after you first arrive, giving out welcome baskets to help make your transition easier, but that isn't all that we do. We're a group focused on not only community-building, but aiding and protecting Death City and its people despite being a 'Guest'.

SEES was founded on, uh... 'destiny', but really it started up on what we're all good at. If you're a fighter, cool. We're right out there when someone else decides to try n' trash Death City, or we head out on a campaign of Shibusen's to turn the tide of the war. If you're not a fighter, you got a place here, too: There's always a need for a friendly face and extra pair of hands to help repair the city, provide support to your pals and help welcome the newcomers each week.

[Naoto snaps the book shut at hand and nods.] We've also removed the age limit set by the previous leaders... any and all of you are welcome to join SEES. Kanji and I are happy to answer any questions you may have over the network or in person. Members receive a Velvet Key to access your new headquarters and an arm band worn during duty. We aim to meet more often and discuss new ways to help Death City and Shibusen as a whole, and would like to hear your ideas as well. Please, don't hesitate to speak up.

A'right... I think that covers it. So give us a shot and let's kick Death City back into good shape, yeah? Keepin' our current home safe's just as important as goin' out there and kickin' ass!

[Both appear content, glancing to one another, but both look away quickly. Yeah, they look ridiculous.]

[ooc: Kanji and Naoto. No, the outfit links aren't mixed up. Comments, inquiries and whatnot will be answered by one or both.]

peacocked

[since the last time he asked for people's suggestions went well, he's deciding to give it another shot.] How many of you own pets here or back home? I recently stumbled across this stray- [he flips his camera (albeit somewhat awkwardly) over to zoom in on this cat. of course it doesn't have the cute bow-tie on, but that's what it looks like.] -a couple of days ago, and it followed me home. I've done everything I could to get rid of him, but he's been rather persistent. So I've decided to keep him.

Except I'm not entirely sure what to name him. I've never owned a pet before, so I was wondering if anyone had any ideas what I could name him. [because let's be real here, the name he's picked out, which so happens to be moonbeams, is a terrible name.]

huntressing

[ Judging from the (moving) background, Masako seems to be walking up the stairs as she's activated a broadcast on the communication device. She's still looking as unamused as the day she got here, some sort of stiff frown permanently stuck on her face. ]

I have an inquiry. [ Her tone is extremely business-like, if not just stiff to begin with too. ] I certainly am not used to this way of living, so-- [ She's cut off by the sound of a thud and then the sound of stuff falling down the stairs in the background. She turns and the device turns with her in her hand to show what's lower behind her on the stairs - Shu is standing there. ]

No... [ Shu voice suggests that something terrible is taking place. ]

Why did I have to drop it after coming up all this way? [ He looks at Masako with an angry expression. Shu's the last person who should be carrying heavy luggage. ]

I can't take it anymore! Don't just speak so calmly at the mirror, Miss Masako! Please take responsibility and help me out here.

You agreed to help me with a thing or two, did you not? Carrying my things up these stairs would be one of them. [ She just says it calmly like it's the most normal thing in the world to make people do stuff for her, especially when they offer it themselves.. but she sighs a little as she stares at the mess that rolled down the stairs. ]

Although you are the one who dropped those things, so you should pick them back up. Isn't that the way the world works? Here, I'll at least tur-- [ --n off the device, presumably, but she does just that.

Someone please tell her she can't just make people into her servants or come give Shu some moral support.. ]

( ooc: Masako and Shu will be seperately replying to tags on this post! )

evokes

[Good afternoon, Death City! Today you'll find one possibly familiar face looking pretty chipper on the feed. You'd think someone who was in a grave situation only a few days earlier would be resting still or looking a little less upbeat, but Minako looks as cheerful as ever.]

Hey guys, this is Minako here! This is probably going to seem like a pretty silly question, but you see, back home it was summer just a few months ago actually. It was the beginning of September when I ended up here, so school was already back in session. Bummer, right? Ending up here right in the swing of summer though, I can't help but wonder...

There wouldn't happen to be any beaches around here, would there? [Her eyes may or may not be gleaming just the slightest bit. She's a teenager alright you can excuse her for wanting to live out her youth!!] It's not summer without some swimming at a beach after all, and it'd be a shame to not take advantage of my extended summer vacation! Although I guess calling this a vacation is a bit of a stretch... Still, you should take advantage of what opportunities you can, right? If there's some time for a bit of fun in the sun here, I'll definitely take it!

Sorry, I guess I got a bit off track there. Long story short, if anyone knows about a beach nearby, I'd love to hear about it! Thanks in advance, guys.

atleast80

[Hyoubu had left his communicator at home by accident the night before so he missed the whole thing with that Erinyes post. Which was too bad, really. It looked like it could have been fun.]

"We are everywhere", huh? Sounds like another terrorist group back home. I guess idiots like them exists across multiple universes.

[He paused.]

Hey, I'm curious now, what's the craziest or stupidest organization you've ever fought? You can also replace 'organization' with 'person' if that's what you were up against.

[Audio]

Has anyone seen a weirdo cyborg wearing a helmet over his face before? I'm not talking about myself when I say "weirdo cyborg" this time. I know, I'm weird but that's not the point.

This guy has these strange eyes that look kinda like a snail. He's a shit stain and he calls himself Monsoon. Currently, he's affiliated with a group known as Desperado. You can recognize him by how much he talks about the memes of the soul and other gene related bullshit.

I just have some matters from back home to take care of and that means settling the score with him.

If anyone has any information about his whereabouts it would be greatly appreciated.

[Video | Filtered away from Snake]

[The feed turns on and then focuses on Snake who's just angrily grimacing in the corner.]

Do you see this guy? His name's Snake and we're from the same world.

[Raiden's whispering now because he doesn't want Snake to hear this next part.] What Snake doesn't know is that four years into his future he gets told off by little eight year old girls. If Snake makes you angry, just tell him that he couldn't use first person mode until the remake. Don't worry about the details, he'll get it. Trust me.

procuracy

Um, if it's possible I'd like to get an opinion on something...

My partner, Re-l, has been sort of gloomy about our apartment being damaged recently, from the riots. We've been working to fix things up where we can, but for the most part, she's still beating herself up about it all.

This is where I'd like some help... I figured I'd try and get her something to cheer her up... like a gift or something. [ to which will dually work as a belated birthday gift, though he won't mention that part out-loud.. ] The thing is, though, I'm... not entirely sure what to get her. I know she enjoys shopping for clothes and other stuff like that, but... I kind of want to make this a special gift.

Though, maybe it'd be more helpful if I knew what she liked... [ he has AN idea, but let's be real here-- ] Though... would a piano be good enough? [ ... go big or go home? ]

[ FILTERED TO MATT ]
Re-l told me that she had talked to you about her holographic notebook...

Is there... anything I can do to help out? [ he's desperate to make her happy again, okay ]

sombrero

If anyone knows more about witches and how to beat them now would be a good time to share.

deadcenter

[well well well... this lovely prisoner finally shows his face. he heard about some thing's going on here, calls for assistance and whatnot, and frankly he's a little amused by it. however, he's still a little... well, new to all of this.]

...So, get pulled outta your own world, get dropped off here, and be expected to run around and do things for other people? Come on, you can't be serious, right? I mean- that's worse than being dropped in prison, at least there you can do whatever the fuck you want, y'know shit that won't result in death row comin' early.

Anyways... let's hear it from all of you, how many of you are really okay with this, this place 'n shit? Me? Well-.... I guess I don't give a fuck where I go, just a drifter, and this place seems damned interesting, buahaha!

Just one more question, any gyms or anything around here to train and workout? If I don't have a set of weights in my hand I don't think I'm satisfied.

fujigglephysics

[There’s a bit of shuffling as the audio feed turns on, along with some low murmurs.]

How do you do this again...which was it...

[Voip! Looks like she’s found the video button;a closer look shows that she’s in a medical gown, which can only mean one thing.]

Oh! Ah, hello everyone. [She gives a slight bow as she smiles.] It’s a little late to introduce myself, but better than never, right? I’m Asagami Fujino, and I’m a newcomer here. I can’t really do much at this time until I’m released, but I’d like to hear an interesting story that happened to you. The time doesn’t matter, so present or past, either one is fine.

[A split-second of uncertainty flashes in her eyes, even as she keeps smiling. It sounded normal enough, right? At least, it’s what she hoped.]

Um, also, I don’t really like to fight, but I will help in any way that I can, so thanks for hearing me out and I hope we can all get along with each other!

[There. That should be alright for today, so she gives one last smile and a wave before she cuts the feed.]

sombrero

( Private to Minako Arisato )

[Public]

Seems like some people use these communicators more for whining instead of actually getting useful information.

I'm looking for someone who'd be willing to spar with me using swords.

And if it's about this then you can forget it. I won't be responding to any complaints regarding that post of hers.

evokes

[The whole tour thing had gone fine and dandy, not a thing that went too far over her head and all. Minako was just the type of girl who liked to explore and become familiar with a new place herself, so another walk through the city was no problem. It was just that, well.

No one told her about something like THIS.

Through the video feed, there's one red-eyed, XXII pin-wearing girl smiling apologetically. And a large box behind her.]

Hey, uh, sorry to bother everyone. Ideally, this isn't how I thought I'd introduce myself, but circumstances have changed somewhat... [She points the camera so it shows the box more.] I get the whole fighting witches and being in a place called Death City, that's fine. But either this box has been following me all day and I have no idea why, or I might have actually just gone crazy.

[Okay, no point in staying in the box if she already knows he's in there. So much for cover. ]

Would you feel better if I told that you were crazy? [He just groans because disguise is no longer effective. ]

You can't just give away someone's position when they're undercover and---[You know what, forget it. He doesn't feel like trying to explain why this whole thing is wrong.]

Never mind. Look, I'll drop it. Just don't mention it ever again to anyone. Got it?

( cut for hideous i.e. length )

[ooc: Joint post for Minako and Raiden! They'll both be responding, but expect threadjacking from either side.]

pishirogane

If someone could inform me of Dojima-san's current whereabouts, I would be grateful.

[Since she's been trying to speak to him directly and rather not invade his personal space]

( Private to Minako, Shinjiro, Fuuka, Kanji, Raidou, Saya, and Takuto and respective partners )

adiosasshole

Everyone alive? I'm staying here, but you guys heading out... be careful. [Surly tone or not Shinji actually sounds a bit concerned for you people. A rarity]

...Kanaya, where'd you hide my coat this time?

dragneel

[ 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!

prosecutory

[The view seems to plummet down from above before resting somewhere with a pretty good angle of the swimming pool at the recreational center at the park. The next thing you see after that is a raven flying away from the screen, claws clamped onto a magenta-clad man who is struggling as the bird soars higher. His yells are clear; he doesn’t want to be kidnapped, and he glances over his shoulder as if looking for something.

Unfortunately, he just dropped that something.]

Nrgh - release me right now!

[The video seems to go out in white and red, but it suddenly returns as it flashes away. Muffled barks can be heard as this new, bizarre form darts after the crow taking off with the man. The raven seems much too high for normal reach, but a rotted skull rockets into the sky and nails the bird in the head. It caws in shock and swerves suddenly - dropping the man in the process. He lets out a yell that is cut off when he hits the water with a big splash.]

Arf!?

[There’s the white and red form again, running to the edge of the pool and peering into the water. The wolf hovers there, tilting its head and whining when the man doesn’t come back up immediately. It takes a few paces backwards before breaking into a dash and leaping into the water after him.

And of course, at that precise moment, he finally surfaces with a gasp and a couple of coughs. The first thing he sees after wiping his hair from his eyes and wrapping his arms around himself is is the wolf.]

A-A-Amaterasu?

[The wolf stares at him, blinking, but then swims closer and gives him a lick on the cheek. He nearly sinks again, but manages to keep treading water as he sighs and speaks between chattering teeth; after all, it was February.]

I’m...I-I’m all right. Thank you.

[A woof and the large wolf begins nudging him; a simple message to get him swimming towards the edge if he could. He manages a small, grateful grin before turning to swim toward the nearest ladder. It was rather slow work, since his clothes weighed him down, but he finally climbs out, dripping and shivering but otherwise very much alive and not kidnapped.

He roots around in his pockets and glances around, then catches sight of the communicator. Then he hurries toward it - not running, but walking as briskly as he can while wrapping his arms around himself again and leaving wet footprints behind him - and gasps again upon realizing that it had been recording the entire thing. With a scowl, he shuts it off.

OOC: I'm sure you don't need to know which is Ammy and which is Edgey. XD]

wildcardette

[Those of you who have been invested in the goings on of SEES in Death City will likely recognise the room Minako is sat in. She's in the SEES office, sat with the communicator on the desk in front of her.

... She doesn't look happy, but she's trying to cover it up. There's an odd glitter in her eyes, but she's refusing to let it break out into... whatever it would break out as. Anger, frustration, tears. She probably doesn't even know herself.

There's a little silence before she takes a deep breath.]

I'm sorry it took so long for me to do this. A lot has happened in the past couple of weeks, and... I feel like I've left this for a little too long.

SEES will be resuming activities soon. I don't plan to make this a very long, detailed post, I just wanted to make sure those who have been interested in joining know they still can. Information on what SEES does as a group in Death City and sign ups can be found here.

[A small, but genuine smile crosses her face.]

We'd be very happy to have you.

[PRIVATE TO MEMBERS OF SEES AND ROY MUSTANG]

[As soon as the private message clicks on, Minako pauses and rubs a hand over her face.]

I don't know how many of you are aware of this, but when Souji-kun left Death City he left SEES in my hands. When... SEES first started, it wasn't his vision, but he took hold of it when asked and turned it into something to help Death City out and offer a chance for those who didn't want to actively fight in the way the Watch does to help out in their own way. I don't want SEES to lose that, and so I want to work hard to make sure we keep doing what Souji-kun set out to do in the first place.

As it stands, I'm afraid I have to be selfish for a moment. When we started out, Souji had help; his second-in-command, and two other helpers, myself and Junpei.

[She pauses, and shakes her head, swallowing slightly.]

Out of the four of us, I'm the only one left. I'm not asking for someone to devote themselves wholly to SEES, but I will need some kind of support similar to what Souji-kun had. A couple of people to help me keep the best interests of SEES in mind, and to help SEES run events smoothly, and to the best of its ability when they can. If you would like to help out, then please let me know. I'll be glad of the help.

If you have any questions, ask away. Like I said before, I left this hanging a little while, and it's time we got SEES back into action. Souji-kun left us a scavenger hunt to do, and I think when we have some new members on the team it'd be a great way to get us all moving and working together again. What do you guys think?

... anyway, thank you for your time. I hope I'll see more of you guys soon.

[PRIVATE TO ROY MUSTANG]

[There's another brief pause, before Minako bows to the screen.]

Souji-kun kept correspondence with you and the Watch, didn't he? I hope we can do the same.

[... she nods.]

[Private to Ling Yao]

I, uh. Owe you an apology. You haven't heard back on your application to join, have you?

I've had a read through now though. When SEES is up and running again, we'll be happy to have you along as well.

[OOC: OOC info on SEES can be found here

pishirogane

[Naoto making an address to the network. The doctors will not be pleased since she's supposed to be resting, but this is necessary]

To those who wish to pay their final respects, a memorial service for Yosuke Hanamura with be held January 30th at 3 PM at the church. Thank you.

( [Locked to Karkat, Terezi, Dojima, Shin, Minako] )

(OOC: Just going to leave this again.)

thorny

[those who know this network id well enough should know that usually its user stays exclusively to voice and text. today seems to be the first break from this pattern, however, as the feed opens to Rose standing in the morgue. those not intimately familiar with the place will have difficulty pegging it as such - the angle of the camera leaves only the very edge of the corpse fridges visible.

Rose's face is carefully neutral, although she's far too pale for comfort. she stands stiff and ramrod straight, the first indication that something is very wrong. when she speaks, her voice is tight but calm.]

We've returned from our mission. I'm afraid that we ran into more trouble than we could handle.

[without changing expression or moving her gaze from the camera she reaches out and in one swift motion pulls on a slab, bringing the body of one Yosuke Hanamura into view.

she was very careful in angling the camera so that the damage done to his arm wasn't visible - it was bad enough that she had to do this in the first place, there was no need to make this any harder on anyone than it had to be.]

I don't - [she cuts herself off, swallows hard. Rose hates tripping on her own words, hates losing her composure in public, but it's so difficult to keep a handle on everything this time. she hadn't even been back to her apartment yet, caught up instead in the whirlwind that her arrival back in the city with a dead body on her shoulders had caused.

she was very tired, and her work still wasn't done. keep it together, Lalonde. you brought this all on yourself.]

There haven't been any arrangements made. I suppose that whoever takes charge of his effects will have to plan that out as well.

He left me something to give to a friend but I'm afraid that he wasn't able to specify which, only that he had a girlfriend. [she pauses, shifts a little. for a brief moment Rose looks as lost as she feels as she murmurs, words encompassing more than just her last wish dilemma]

I don't know what to do.
