[Lee is on a walk through the Red Light district. As a member of the Watch, he's been doing what he can to try and cut down on the recent slurry of anti-Shibusen vandalism plaguing the City while he can. That's not why he's posting this message, however.]

Good evening, everyone! I hope today saw you all well!

I would like to announce that I will be stepping up in helping Hyuuga Neji, my Meister, as a zone leader! I am sure you will all do your best to cooperate with the two of us as we work to guard the streets!

[He flashes a smile, but then it dims a bit as he continues on.]

And speaking of cooperating, I was wondering if anyone had heard from or seen Haruno Sakura-san lately? I attempted to visit her earlier today and found her not at home, and calling her yielded no results. Perhaps if she sees this message she will give me a call? [He pauses. Hint hint.]

... And that is all from me. Thank you!

[He cuts the feed.]

Few announcements and a question. First, I’m Matt and I have a business called Black Mesa. It's a House Call Technician business, and we fix computers, broadcasting and wireless systems, business equipment and security system. If anyone is interested or just wants a job, call me maybe. Second, I’m doing missions, have a nice record, and kind of want to keep going. So I’m currently looking for a Meister who would be cool with going on missions. I’m a Weapon, a Portal gun; I shoot regular bullets and also create Portals. Third, imagine you have raw steaks. How hard it is to cook them? And how do cook them exactly?

[ PRIVATE TO: DUO ]
Duo. I hope you didn’t forget our date tonight.

[ PRIVATE TO: NEAR ]
A word, please.

For those who visit the strip club in the Red Light area, I have a question for professional interest.

[Well, he's one of the strippers there so he might as well ask.]

Which do you prefer more as part of the performance: an act with a pole or an act without a pole?

[He nods because really that's the only question he has.]

Thank you for your time.

Question.
I'm curious as to the origin of this weapon/meister duality. Have the people in this world simply always had this latent propensity? Or was it cultivated after being engendered by some crisis point? Or maybe something else entirely.
But I guess most of us being draftees, not a lot are going to be familiar with the in-depth history of what is essentially a glorified internment camp that is rapidly going through all the fuck's I'm able to give.
So, instead I'll ask: How 'natural' does your designation as a meister or a weapon feel? Do you feel that it's something that stems from your nature, or that's it's just as random and senseless as everything else about this place?

[So when the video feed comes on, the image is shaky before it settles to show an injured and obviously very sick Saleh with bandages wrapped around his right shoulder and chest. There is the distinct sound of chuckling before Zagi appears on the screen. He is settled directly in front of the camera until all that could be seen is his face. The communicator is propped up on something at the foot of the bed.]

You all thought that I couldn't get out of that chair. Well...I did! Oh! And you all know THIS guy!

[He steps out of the way to show Saleh again. Oh and he does look quite pleased to be on this public video! He HAS to be! There is movement in the background before Zagi appears with a chair next to the bed with a bowl of something in his hands. He is grinning like an idiot as he holds out a spoonful of hot soup. There is no way he is going to give him blueberry jam after all. He can't give him something he likes.]

Now...open up.

[Saleh shoots a quick glance at the direction of the communicator, looking visibly tired, if the dark circles under his eyes are any indication. Eyeing Zagi again, he forces a weak smirk.]

But I don't want it.

Don't be like that.

[There is nothing caring about the way he states this. It sounds like he is mocking Saleh. He brings up the spoon close to the other man's mouth with his lips still curved into a maliciously delighted smile.]

I wouldn't want to spill this on you.

I thought we were past the pleasant façade?

I could just spill it on you. How long do you want to have to stay in bed at my mercy though?

What, bored already?

I could do this all day.

[And by that, he means Saleh suffering because of him.]

(ooc: This color for Zagi and this color for Saleh. Zagi escaped the chair Saleh had him tied to for days. He partially transformed at that time to badly injure Saleh. Due to Zagi's weapon ability which happens to be poison, Saleh is pretty sick.

IMPORTANT: If you can, it would be easiest to reply to the second person if both Zagi and Saleh answer the same post. It keeps it looking clean :D)

Funny, I'd imagined that living off of people's charity would be easy. But in between the merchants refusing to take our credit-- and having to protect my hat from constant attack…

[qilby's got a face made for smiles, but even he has room for a brief, disgruntled look. those posters some jerk's been leaving around can't be getting to him, can they? nor can a bit of what appears to be civil unrest...

evidently it's not important, because the moment quickly passes-- he's excited about what he's come up with, as excited as his old body will allow him to be. if his previous record is any example, after all, he only seems to show his face on the network when he has something to say. change of subject.]

BREW has been acting more erratically than usual, as I'm sure anyone with minimal observational skills could tell. Just one of the innumerable mysteries about the way this universe works.

[a smile.] I think it's high time that the more inquisitive and scientifically-minded among us attempt to do something about them. If you count yourself among that number, I'd like to talk.

dialogical

I have to say the advent of tiny touchscreen keyboards on one-handed computing devices was never one of the more impressive steps in the inexorable march of technological progress that would ultimately culminate in myself.
Think-typing was a real fucking boon, despite the unfortunate risk of corporate brainwashing by the manufacturers.
Voice-recognition, though. That was always terrible.
Since it seems that given the opportunity to speak to a computer, most humans are provoked to start asking inane questions the pitiful program could never hope to answer. Thereby amusing themselves and reassuring their ego that they are still smarter than a non-sentient machine.
Plus, statistics show that 98.5% of people having conversations with their cellphones look like assholes.
But I will have to grant that both of those admittedly flawed input methods still have metric fuckload of pros over shitty mini-touchscreen keyboards.
Which are slow, prone to error, animatist against those of us who have never had fingers before, and force you to interface with a dickshitting piece of software that thinks it knows what you are trying to type and was written by someone who has been plugging his ears against the foul language of the world since he was ejected from his mother's womb to the sound of her screaming profanities in a pain induced haze.
No.
I did not mean "docks hitting".
And before many helpful individuals inform me that there are video and voice functions:
I know.
Your advice is preemptively appreciated.
But I am more comfortable with text.
Just, ideally over devices concerned less with being pocket-sized and more with functionality.
Unfortunately, it seems I've been thrown back to an era before the value of computers as fashion accessories has been recognized.
Shucks.
Anyway.
Sup, Death City?
Also.
In before a bunch of assholes reply with tldr or some amusing and ironic variant thereof.

[An incredulous Seifer is a Seifer wanting more information so:]

Thoughts on Shibusen anyone want to share? Let's hear some stories.

I'd just like to let everyone know that I've got an especially virulent illness. It's possibly tuberculosis. Cough, cough.
So if you planned to come over today, please, please stay away from my apartment, unless you don't want to get this serious and painful illness.
I won't be able to go to work today, Keroro-san. I'll miss you and all my colleagues.

[Private to Sheena]

Don't worry, I'm not sick. Take care of yourself!

[Private to Mello]

I'm not lying. Cough. Take care of yourself.

[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.

Has anyone figured out what having that Madness emitter so close to Death City might have done to things? BREW's been acting a bit strange since then, I think... it hasn't been giving any warning for anyone to set up welcomes for new arrivals, and there haven't been as many. Though it's hard to tell when it's not all at once...

Do you think something changed? Either having it be that close or destroying it... If BREW really is bringing in less people now and not being flashy about it like before, maybe we're getting closer to wining?

*With things more settled in the city, Auron belatedly realized he hadn't had a class in while. Better fix that quick!*

To all the newcomers, welcome to the city. My name's Auron and I'm a Zone Leader of the Watch in the Shopping District. I'm a Meister *he can finally say that name properly* with the ability of Soul Armor and I'm looking for a Weapon. Preferably a sword type but I could attempt anything that aren't machina based firearms.

I also run a survival skills class. Haven't had one in a while so I'm going to fix that. If you want to learn more about basic first aid and surviving in different locations, come on over. You don't need to have any prior experience. I think I'll have the class in the next few days. Maybe April 24 or April 25 depending. We'll meet at the bottom of the Shibusen stairs.

So all of you who are my students *That means you, Kanji and Takuto* I expect you to show up if you're not on a mission.

((OOC: Like the man says, anyone is welcome to show up. Or if you just feel like giving Auron a hard time, you can respond to this message too. XD))

[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.

[The feed turns on to a bright and sunny day. The sun is having a blast, laughing away in the sky. But then it turns downward to the person filming, and... oh. Oh.

If looks could kill, anyone watching this video would have keeled over dead right now.

It's Kanji, and he's not happy in the slightest. The slicked-back look with his hair is gone, weighed down by some sort of juice. In fact, the guy's covered in what looks like chunks of red fruit that fell from his hair and any part of his skin that it was clinging to.]

If I find the son of a bitch who put up those damn 'Seven Mystery' flyers... I'LL--

[Splat! A tomato hurtles in from off the frame and smacks the back of his head, followed by another. He's seeing red, baring his teeth as he turns.]

"There's a girl I really like! I wish for the courage to ask her out!"

"I wish I was taller! Accept my offering, ancient being!"

You're gonna be wishin' for some painkillers in a few seconds!

[With a roar from Kanji the camera is jostled, and there's the sound of a shockwave, followed by a pair of panicked screams. The feed cuts here.]

[ooc: Mysteries of Death City post for reference.]

zealous_steiner

Hello, Death City! Hououin Kyouma speaking!

[The camera turns towards a cheerful Okabe and, in the background, the total mess that normally permeates his living space. On the table behind him there's a DeathStation laid open; it seems he's trying to fix it.]

I've decided that I want to try out this meister-weapon thing. My goal is to go on missions and get some experience with Madness so I can try and... well, reverse engineer it. It's worth a try, right?

Now, I'm not too good at fighting things, that's really my niece's forte, but I am good at sneaking around. I have no idea how to use firearms, but... er, well... [He spends a moment reconsidering whether he wants to say what he's about to say. It's embarrassing. He never thought he would have to bring up the fact that he taught himself how to swing a sword when he was 13 because he thought it was really cool- ah, fuck it.] I taught myself how to use a sword at a young age, and anything I can swing would be good, too. [There, that's better.] Also, something that looks cool, please.

If you're a weapon and want to gather some intel? [He makes the phone sign with his hand up to his ear.]

diedforyoursins

[it's a video post this time around, but the camera is focused on the interior of an empty apartment. for a moment the scene twitches, as if he'd intended to spin it around to face himself and then decided otherwise.]

...I believe Castiel was sent home. I do not know if there was anyone he would have wanted to know, or...

[he kind of feels like a terrible brother right now too, realizing how little he'd actually known about the man and that any chance to remedy that is now gone. and even without the visual of his face, it's pretty evident in his voice -- kaworu never bothers trying to hide his usual serene happiness, and it seems like he's just as unable to mask his sorrow.

there's an odd pause like he thinks he's supposed to say something else, but he eventually just gives up on that.]

...That is all. I am sorry.

naniwarocky

[The video feed switches on by itself and it shows Sendo sitting on his bed. He's holding a little kitten in his hands and there is another, bigger cat sitting off to the side watching.]

Now you've gotta keep quiet. I haven't told Saya that I brought home a new cat yet, and you don’t want to hear her when she is angry. [The little kitten just mews softly and then licks Sendo’s hand. Sendo puts the kitten down on the bed and scratches it behind its ear.]

I bet you don’t care, though. Cause it’ll be me getting yelled at and not you. But you know..I do wonder if all women yell that much when they are mad. Granny just used to smack me on the head. I think she's just too old to raise her voice that much..

( Locked to Haruno Sakura )

It is in my personal opinion that there are quite a few things out there that could be taken advantage of. Ideas, as it were, that could come into realization. Things that science could help bring to life or create, making life or the combat many of us take part in easier or safer. Because, for many of us, we are in a new situation with new possibilities. That can be taken advantage of.

Ideas come in the thousands but I would like to hear what you would prefer to see or mysteries you would like to have answered.

With that comes the need for money as science cannot pay for itself until it begins to create. If someone would like to invest money into seeing certain ideas come to life or would simply like to donate in an effort to help, please let me know.

And finally, if there are those who have a sharp mind or an entrepreneurial spirit and would like to help, regardless of motives, I am sure you can be put to good use in this venture. Research and development requires as many willing hands as possible.

Of course, anyone is free to question my credentials and I would be happy to supply them.

I'm sure we all have a 'bucket' list of things we'd like to do sometime in our lives before we die. This place certainly gives us opportunities to cross items off it, such as getting to visit other continents.

On the other hand, it also presents us with things we'd never believed would ever happen to us - the whole manner of our arrival and subsequent submersion into this war aside.

[Akiha is back from her mission in Brazil and she's not terribly happy with how it went.]

For example, I can now claim that I have been eaten by a giant slug. Allow me to cross that off my list. I've always wanted to have to kill something while inside its stomach and then cut my way out. [/sarcasm]

That said, can anyone recommend a hair stylist here? I need to take a few inches off thanks to stomach acid. [Or whatever it was.]

scatterflower

[Chika shows up on the communicator, looking a bit more subdued than normal. At least, at first, she quickly forces a smile to her face.]

Hey everyone, especially the new people who were brought in by BREW this time. Sorry if we didn't have enough of the baskets that we at SEES make for the New Arrivals, but well, things were kinda busy and we didn't even know you were coming this time. If you guys didn't get a basket when you arrived this last time let me know and I'll see what I can do to get one made for you quickly.

[She frowns a bit, before leaning back.]

Of course, things are still pretty crazy as it is. What with everything going on, and what just happened. I wish that you guys could've shown up at a different time if BREW was going to bring you in, but well...

[She shakes her head.]

Anyway, if any of you new people here need help with anything, let me know and I'll see if there's anything I and the rest of SEES can do to help out. And if you ever need to get me in person, just head to the Triple A Arcade and ask for Chika.

[Filtered to Zero]

[Chika's filtering this message specifically to Zero, and as such she thinks it's alright if she frowns a bit.]

Hey Zero. There's something that I want to talk to you about. Do you mind meeting up with me in person?
