Hello Death City. I'm Matt, from Black Mesa, and I wanted a bit of your attention please. Our company is releasing a new product by the name of Madness Geiger Counter.

[ To the screen a video image appears and as Matt talks, the menus will move to illustrate each option. ]

( MADNESS GEIGER COUNTER )If anyone is interested, has questions, comments or whatever, let me know and I will try to answer.

[ PRIVATE TO: BLACK MESA EMPLOYEES ]
You guys get it for free, so just bring your things and I will install it.

[ PRIVATE TO: NEAR and MELLO ]
Hope you liked the cake (=

So, I'm going to get straight to the meat of the matter on this, right? And you're all just going to have to deal like good, bipedal saps, right? Right. Glad we had this peptalk.

Report in, you grubsuckers. Yeah, you know who you are. Even if you don't, report in anyway. I could always use an extra chortle or two at another's expense.

If this is all you'vve managed to amass for yourself, Mindfang, I'm wwholly disappointed. I expected more out of the self proclaimed 'Pirate Queen.'

Your meager cache of stolen goods wwas barely enough to covver the expenses of a decent wwardrobe, evven after pawwning those hideous rags you tried passing as clothes.

Some information has come into my hands that I'm curious about and I was hoping one of you could enlighten me on this subject. Multiple answers are not only fine but also encouraged because there's no such thing as too much information.

I assume my question is simple, however I'm still unaware of minor details in troll culture so it could be more complicated than I'd imagined.

What's a "moirail"?

And on a second note, I've worked out a more effective sopor substitute. However, I'd like opinions on what you believe the best method would be to apply it. Via a sort of reuseable patch, a type of lotion or merely a container with strong enough fumes to be effective or any other ideas you may have.

[There is quite abruptly a very upset teenage troll on the screen. He's glaring at the camera as if it has personally offended him. Normally he would have done this over text, but he wants to see familiar faces, and besides, the best speeches aren't given over text.]

Listen up, nooksniffers. Here's how this is going to go. I don't have time for this war. I'm already fighting in one, and that one I actually give a shit about. Since I can't leave until this place stops getting his ass kicked, the plan is to win this stupid war as quickly as possible so we can all get back to our miserable lives wherever we came from.

Okay? Good. So, what's being done around here to get everyone battle ready? Whatever it is, sign me up. I need to figure out this whole fucking "being a weapon" thing. [He even does the air quotes for added effect.] Talk to me about the training and shit. Otherwise, keep your squawk blisters shut and brutally destroy those Kishin things.

With one exception. [He raises his pointer finger at the camera. It is not the finger he's used to raising, and he very nearly flubs that up. He's used to giving speeches over text, alright. Maybe he should have done that instead...] I've already seen a couple of familiar faces around here, which leads me to believe there might be more somewhat tolerable assholes around here that I might be familiar with. If you are one of those losers, report to me so I know who's here and therefore not in as much grave danger. Worrying about you bulgelickers is a full time fucking job, alright, and I don't want to have to worry any more than I have to, because it's annoying as shit.

Alright, I'm out. [There's a little fumble and a muffled curse, along with a lovely view of the floor of Karkat's place in Casualty Communal before the feed cuts out.]

((OOC At the top just to preempt anyone possibly not having read the cut -- This post its full of spoilers and violent things that happened in the canon. I really can't warn enough ;-;))

[This video starts out in a dark, dark room and only the light of the night time does any decent for any sort of outline sitting at the window. It's clearly a man in a white shirt, the pants are too dark to make out any definitive colour past a shade of blue. He's made a small modification to be able to sit at the window and it's not clear what it is he's seated on, but his blankets are there and his pillows. He's drug his mattress and his table to the window.]

I had a nightmare for the fourth time since being here. Are they common? Wasn't it something I heard at one time that said talking about your nightmares would make them go away? Unfortunately there'll be graphic content, you should stray away if you have stomachs not suited to violence.

It made me sick, too.
[He means this in the double standard for those who know, for those who don't can assume what they will while they don't know he is sick in other ways. His finger comes to his lip and he nibbles at the skin on the side of it. It's a wonder he hasn't chewed clear through it for all the times he's done it.]

( I have to cut this, because it has spoilers for DN:AN and also has violence in it. Readers be warned. )

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.

sup dc got a question for you
see i was gonna hold off on this but certain things coming to my attention have upped the ante on the importance here
whats the deal with a meister using two weapons
like i heard if theyre twin weapons or whatever it might be possible but i havent heard much else
did a little research to find a common factor that it seems a the ones listed as using two is when the weapons are related
what about if the meister is related to one of the weapons could it still work in the same general way

[The video switches on to show two color coded teens, one dressed in all red with a cape and awesome shades (with two bottles of apple juice, one in his hand and the other waiting at his side) and the other in all blue with a ridiculously long hood. The red one seems somewhere between totally chill and mildly unnerved while the blue one looks rather pleased and amused.]

Okay we've got a few problems here but the most serious one is someone please tell us we're not the only ones who can see that the sun is looking back at us. Is that like a sun or a giant rock with teeth waiting to eat us like wow that planet sure looks tasty better not eat the middle its too spicy but the north would be an awesome icy snack.

It's like big brother is watching you all the time. Or big sister. Is the sun a girl or a boy? Does anyone know?

[Dave stops to just stare at John for a moment, just giving him an 'are you fucking serious?' look.]

Dude, it's a rock.

But it has a face!

Male or female would imply it has reproductive parts and that's something I'd really rather not think of thanks. It's pretty creepy as is.

[John pauses with a thoughtful look.]

I wonder if the moon has a face. Maybe one is a boy and one is a girl and asteroids are their babies. I wonder if the asteroids have faces?

Wow. Ok, yeah. We're moving onto more important matters now, topic over.

[John rolls his eyes at Dave, he's no fun. He then turns back to the camera with an intrigued look on his face.]

What did that guy mean, I turn into a weapon? How can you turn into a weapon? I'm a human!

[Dave looks like he could care less, though there's a hint of curiosity there as he takes a drink of his juice.]

Yeah, that's pretty much all we need to know since the creepy dude filled us in on the other shit. I've got my AJ now, I'm good.

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?

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.

((translation:
So let me ask now while I've still got the cajones to:
How many of you nub-witted bipedals out there actually know how to handle a standard computer?
Or ever those shitty mirrors.
And on a somewhat (not really) related note:
Combat training.
Who has it?))

dialogical

I feel like the redhead in the intro video perhaps overdramatized the situation.
I do understand that all wars are, to some extent, a waiting game.
And I happen to be particularly excellent and ideally designed to that aspect of them.
But I'm not sure they're supposed to actually be relaxing.
I'm just saying, this place is pretty fucking great.
Akin to what I would imagine from a resort, back when such things existed, like right now.
But enough on that.
I would like to at least construct the illusion of being prepared for something vaguely unpleasant.
How many available weapons are around here?

I have a friend who needs a minor dental procedure. It seems that one of his back teeth is very sore and is darker in color than it should be. He's never been to the dentist before, and so a good, and fast, recommendation would be much appreciated.

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.

[The green alien frog seems really excited about something...wonder what it is?]

Starting today, we'll be having a week-long dessert event at the Hikan Cafe. Every order over 15 Death Dollars will come with a free serving of our dessert-of-the-day, de arimasu! Come and try them all, de arimasu! [That's why it's split into days, anyway. To ~~trick~~ convince you all to come. Every single day.]

Of course, we're very willing to accept your communicators in place of money, de arimasu. Unlike everywhere else, de arimasu.

If you're new, please let the server know and we'll even include a free drink, de arimasu! [Courtesy of Shibusen so not technically free for everyone involved, but hey.]

Remember, just your communicator as proof of payment is good enough for us, de arimasu.

Ok, first of all, seconding the complaint that this communication device is incredibly fuckin' antediluvian.
Just a general head's up to whoever makes this executive decision: I could fashion a standard communicator that would have more utility, operate with more efficiency, and in general look and function roughly 50% less like a brick.
Unless it's brick-like characteristics were selected on purpose to function as a back-up weapon in case of resonance failure.
Anyway, before I go ahead write my dissertation centering around this cultural critique,
What's up.
