I apologize for this, but Sollux Captor is no longer in Death City. From what I understand he had been here for quite some time and had made quite a few friends. This is the reason I am sending this message out.

Perhaps we will be fortunate enough to have him within these walls once more.

redregrets

[Karkat has never thought he had a flattering face, but it's particularly ugly when he's worried, because he looks about two times his age. And he's worried alright, because a certain housemate has been missing for far too long for comfort.] Has anyone seen John? John Egbert. He's human, and he wears stupid glasses and has stupid messed up human dentition. Actually, wait, hold on, I drew a picture. A lot of you probably know him; he's the obnoxiously friendly type. Anyway, he hasn't come back to the hive in a while, and it's not like him to just disappear like that. Well, okay, it is, but not for this long. He would have finished setting up a prank by now. If anyone's seen him, let me know, because I'm going to run around the whole fucking city looking for him, and that's going to be a pain in the nook. If anyone wants to help look, that would be cool, just look for a guy running around that looks like my drawing.

Also, does anyone know how to take care of a hopbeast? ...Humans call them bunnies. It's John's, and I have no idea how the fuck to take care of it. I've just been feeding it carrots, and making sure it's still breathing. John's going to murder me if I kill this thing while he's gone.

[He sends a rapid fire text Dave's way. He wants to make certain Dave doesn't get into trouble.]
( private text to dave )

[It takes him a bit longer to send the second text, only because he feels weird about asking for help, because it's something he sucks at doing, and it doesn't happen often, but he's worried enough that he goes ahead with it. So, Signless' crew (Di, Psii, Rosa, and Signless), Kanaya, Aranea, Meenah and Sollux will get this text.]
( private text to signless's crew, kanaya, aranea, meenah and sollux aka the trolls he likes )

sermonize

To be fair, I did not expect to be making such a request, considering what my stance has been upon first arriving to this city.

For as long as I have been here, I have not wanted any part in this war that continues to rage between sides whose intentions are still questionable to me at best. Such is the reason that I have not sought out a partner or have attempted any missions.

I still stand by my convictions that I have no place fighting a war that I do not understand. However, there are quite a few here that I have a desire to protect. It has hard to do so without involvement and this is the reason that I now find myself trying to find someone willing to give this resonance a go. That being said, I am a meister with a calming ability. As for combat skills, I prefer ranged fighting over close quarters.

Now that the series matter is out of the way.

Could someone give me a recipe for an apple pie? I'd prefer to stay away from cookbooks, if you do not mind.

[The feed turns on to show two trolls: Signless and Disciple are standing next to each other. Di is holding the mirror out with one hand, and has the other wrapped around Signless' waist as she lightly leans on him.]

Hello, Death City. I hope everyone is recovering well from recent events, and I welcome all our newcomers. For those of you who don't know us I go by the title of Disciple--or Di for any uncomfortable using that.

[ Signless has one arm around Di's shoulders, keeping her close. his own mirror is in his free hand, though his attention isn't on it. he's softly smiling at her mirror instead. ]

While I am known as Signless. While I welcome all those new to the city as well, our intention is to share some news.

[She looks away from the mirror to look at Signless for a moment, her expression soft and warm before turning back to face the network.]

A peri-- [Pause, use human terms] a month ago Signless and I became engaged. In a little over a month we will be wed.

[Her face flushes lightly, but you could see no happier expression on a person]

[ his eyes look towards her, his smile growing. ] Actually, she proposed to me. "Marriage" is an unknown concept in our culture, but the reality is...

[ and here Signless presses a kiss to Di's temple. usually he doesn't go for that sort of PDA but this is a happy announcement. ] I do believe it is perfect for us. We are sort making this an invitation, of sorts.

[Aww yee. Di is the same and the way her blush heightens indicates this but she is too happy to care.]

Our wedding will be the 6th of July and will take place outdoors, in the park center at 10pm. It will be a small affair but we would enjoy seeing some of you there.

spinneret_mindfang

[The damn device phases in and out a couple of times, much to Mindfang's dismay. Once her face comes on screen, it can be seen that her wavy raven hair is being tamed by a rather lame looking sun hat. At least that would keep the blistering heat off her face]

I am assuming many of you have already heard too much contrite babble to be bothered with questions that have been asked hundreds of times. For that reason I will save my breath sating my curiosity toward the obvious.

[Momentarily she fiddles with the device, shifting down an alley way that has much more shade. Fuck the sun. ]

I will, however, ask where the hell can I get my hands on a decent wardrobe for this dreadful climate? I seem to be without my sylladex for whatever reason.

[She scowls, still unable to find any relief from the 94 degree weather. Ugh. Just ugh.]

I cannot bring myself to believe that anyone tortures themselves by voluntarily living in this barren wasteland.[Slight pause]

Are there any familiar faces out there?

[Please for the love of all that is sanity, do not let a Redglare be the one to answer this message]

Though, one obvious question does plague my think pan and I'm afraid I shall have to ask it anyway; what is a Meister and how the hell could I possibly have some type of ability?

And how do I go about finding out just what that ability is?

The Hikan Café and Metokkori R will be closed for the day. We're sorry for the inconvenience.

filter: Metokkori R/Hikan Café employees

The stores were vandalized, so please stay home for now. Keroro and I will help clean up the graffiti when we get back from our mission.

((OOC: So the store-fronts of Keroro's business has been vandalized. Anyone who passes by will see that there's been anti-Shibusen graffiti sprayed onto the store-windows. Someone had even taken care to spray some obscenities over Keroro's 'We take communicators! :D' sign. Some of Eve's replies might be ICly delayed until later in the evening when she returns from her mission.))

[ Private to Ancestor Den ]

[This little message comes fairly late in the afternoon.]

I went to Mortician's Touch and there has b33n a bit of an accident.

I'll be back late, so please don't worry.

[You have to worry a lot]

My dear Death City,

I have stumbled across this world or rather this world has stumbled upon me. I admit I'm very surprised, but also happy to be of assistance. I hope to learn more about your city, your people and your customs, just like I truly hope to get to know all of the guests who are in the same situation as me. Perhaps we will have the chance to meet each other better, but for now I have few questions that I would like to be answered if it's not too much of a hassle.

I was told I am a Meister. How can I find out about my ability?
I realize that, in order to aid you with your noble objective, I will need a partner to fight along side. Could you explain how one goes about finding a partner and how does resonance work?
In order to become stronger, one must consume souls. What would happen if one was to consume a non-kishin egg soul?

I would deeply appreciate your help. For it, I thank you.
Cordially yours,

Betty Crocker.

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.

douchebagging

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

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

itsfondue

[So after a few days from his initial arrival, Steve finally decides to use the communicator he's given. He's not averse to using it, if the technology is helpful he's gonna work with it. He looks at the device, his expression friendly.]

Hello, this is Steve Rogers. Word is that I was here before, but guess that's happened to others too. Don't have my memories of that time, but I'm not against reintroducing myself and meeting anyone I've worked with before. [He's actually a little angry about that, but he's not showing it. It's sorta the opposite of waking up in New York, but still frustrating in its own way. Regardless, Steve remains calm and polite on the video feed.]

Not against meeting new soldiers- people, either. Trust in your comrades is always important. Doesn't matter what world you come from.

sermonize

[ no one sees Signless at first, nope. this critter is on the screen instead. the feed follows the little guy about before gray hands pick him up. look at that. the hedgehog is even getting hand fed, with a little chuckle. ]

Feferi, I'll have you know that this was simply a horrible idea. I hope you realize that Cocoa here is nothing less than spoiled. In fact, I might have caught Sollux even giving him some attention. Interesting that hedgehogs prefer to eat catfood.

So now I will ask a simply question, as I realize I have been here a few months and do not know even half of everyone that I should. As Alternia's creatures are more often than not custodians or guardians rather than pets, what are common animals on your various worlds that can be domesticated?

braidedwonder

So I'm kinda sitting around here, bored off my ass and hungry so I figured I'd ask -

I'm gettin' bored with my usual recipes so.. Do you guys have any favorite recipes you know from your home worlds that you'd like to share? Provided you can get the stuff to make it here, of course.

We're pretty adventurous eaters at the Maxwell-Barton apartment so no need to feel like you'll make us squeamish or anything!

notsatanscamaro

[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.

shiromadoushi

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?

seadweller

Hi again, Death City!

[Have a resident sea troll, giving the video feed a full, sharp-toothed smile.]

I've been really bored lately, so I need you to recommend to me some good human movies. Ones with happy endings!

Or.. if you don't know what to suggest for that.. where can you go in Death City that's really fun, like the carnival was! ...Until it got destroyed and crash-landed, obviously!

[Private to Sollux]

Sollux!!
I )(ave somet)(ing for you! 38)
I forgot to give it to you t)(e ot)(er week because t)(at attack )(appened.
But more importantly, I want to see you!
Can we )(ang out?

[Private to Eridan]

Are you ready to talk to me yet, or are you still avoiding me?
Don't bot)(er saying t)(at you're not, because I know you AR-E!!

[ So here's the same grinning face, but a very different background. There's a box here or there, and what is clearly a new apartment, as well as the pitter patter of little paws running around in the apartment around what is probably Trowa's feet as Duo takes a break for a moment to announce their new digs. ]

So - Trowa and I moved! We're in Murder Manor now, so if you go to either of our old apartments you won't find us! But I have a question that seems to always come with new digs, but considering I've never had a place to be able to have a housewarming party I figure it's pretty applicable -

[ Whoa, wait, take a deep breath Duo. Words are separate things, not meant to be strung together and said at 50 miles per hour. Especially over the network and without Trowa to explain. That's happened quite a few times as they were moving today and Duo got a little over excited. He takes a moment to roll up his sleeves, breathing deeply for a moment, making it seem as though he was going to ask something possibly earth-shattering. ]

- So like, I wanna throw a house, apartment, whatever, warming party but.. how does a person throw a house warming party? There's no way I'm not throwing one now that we have a place that's like.. passably ours! And I mean, I can't buy the booze or anything but I'm not gonna tell anyone if you show up with it or whatever..

[ There's a little yapping bark in the background, and the scrabble of little feet. ] Sorry, puppy's going a little crazy, but back to the point -

House warming parties, how do you throw them and how much food should I make since I'm... well I'm not really in to guest lists or anything, and everyone's invited.. I'm kinda relying on the fact that someone here's thrown one before, at least..

A general inquiry: do you or does any8ody that you know possess limited vision pro8lems that requires corrective lenses?

I may wish to meet with you for an experiment.

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.]
