[Shibusen can be seen in the background. Hughes is about halfway up the steps.]

So...can someone explain to me why this place needs to be so high up? I mean...is it supposed to keep people from getting up to Shibusen or something? Isn't it a bit inefficient for it to be so far up for the people that work or go to class here though?

[He turns and continues walking.]

But the view is nice. I suppose that's a bit of a reward... I might be biased though since I like watching the sun rise. It really is nice though. [He shifts the communicator to show what he is talking about.] See?

[The camera turns back and faces Hughes, but he is looking up the steps and focused on climbing. He pauses a bit before he continues speaking.]

...a couple years back—well, before I came here—my daughter was still a wee little thing. Sometimes she would wake up crying, a little before the sun came up, and I'd take her outside so my wife could sleep. I'd walk around the yard for a bit while rocking her, and she'd eventually drift off again. Surprisingly, I never got complaints from the neighbors, hehe. But then I'd sit out at the end of the walkway and watch the sun rise. It was calming.

[After another pause, he glances down at the communicator and chuckles.] I guess most of you probably can't relate to that, hahaha. Sorry, I'm just an old fart, heh. The sun here has a face anyway, so that's a bit different. [He looks back up again.] I'm just really bored though. It's early, and there isn't really anyone around, and there are a helluva lot of steps. I'm sure you can let slide something like that right? At least I'm not posting a billion messages this time...hehehe.

[There is another pause before he stops and glances at the communicator again.]

Okay, I'm out of stuff to say, hahaha. I'll leave you guys alone.

Filtered to Kotetsu:
Oh, yeah. I'm still going to race you up this thing, so you better get ready, hehehe.

[And up pops Shinra, with his pleasant little smile as he sits in his pleasant little room. There's just something awkward about this happy, young doctor, but even so, it doesn't stop him from rambling.]

Hello, Death City! My name is Shinra Kishitani, but everyone can call me Shinra. I guess I'm adding to the recent wave of individuals who are new to the city. I hope everyone's doing well today.

I'm glad I paid attention to the local gossip about the Communal! Apparently a lot of problems had happened in regards to the little Valentine's day presents left around. I guess I was lucky - mine tasted very... fishy. It was actually rather awkward. [He chuckles softly.] Whoever left them, thank you for the gift!

As I've been here a few days, I think I've gotten a hang of the layout of the city. It's properly sunk in that there doesn't seem to be any easy method of escape - but is there a way to at least contact people from our original homes? There's a young lady who's probably beside herself with worry at my lengthy absence... And we had such a beautiful date planned, too! [He looks up, almost as if blinking away tears. Pardon him, he is having an emotion right now. ...and then it subsides rather quickly because he knows he's being melodramatic.] Well. If not, she's a strong soul. I'll just have to buy her something special whenever I'm permitted to leave... She'll be so mad at me.

I digress. I was also wondering about how to procure a job, so I'm not completely idling my time here. I'm not quite sure how much schooling I'd truly wish to take - after all, I think I learn best hands-on, and my skills lie more in doctoring - any sort - than fighting. There's a hospital of some sort here, isn't there? Are they hiring? Or is it strictly volunteer staff?

[He sighs softly, a hand reaching up to scratch the back of his head.] I must sound ridiculously new with my large set of questions. I'm sorry! I really am just this new, though.

[ The night is young and the we’re in love... Or not.

Are you in love yet, Death City? No? Well, you’re in luck. Because tonight, the greatest hosts in
the world, Gin and Gura (not to be mistaken for Gintoki and Kagura from Yorozuya May Cry), are here to treat you lovely angels to a pre-Valentines chance for love and romance.

This is not a scheme to get chocolates for Valentines day. Just as this is not the Yorozuya May Cry office, badly decorated with paper hearts, lace, red plastic over all the lightbulbs, and feathers from a molting duck. That’s feathers from a fallen angel, you dumbass! Where’s your sense of romance?

Ehem... take it away, lead character. ]

What is love? [~~Baby don't hurt me.~~ You might recognise that voice as belonging to Gintoki, but tonight, it is softer, strangely melodic. It is Gin. He holds a rose - plastic - to his chest as if it is something precious.] We, as hosts, have pondered this since the beginning of time. Though it is without physical form, it is sweet, and it is forgiving, providing men, women and children all over the world with joy. [Kind of the same way chocolates do. Gin then twirls, holding the rose up above his head. If this were a shoujo series, there'd be sparkles and real roses in the background.]

And tonight, as a special service to you, Death City, we, Gin and Gura, shall showcase these wonders to you personally. Even if it costs us our lives. [And suddenly, he tosses that rose over to...]

[ KaGura catches that rose as she spins on her toes. She tosses her long, bishounen hair to the side and lets out a loud--] Fuu! [She raises the rose in the air.] Our time together might be short, might be fleeting, my princess, but that’s the way beautiful things are. What’s important is that we keep the memory of our meeting in our hearts. And yet-- [dramatic turning of the head to the side! It’s that 3/4ths profile that makes all hosts look good!]

-- the beauty of that moment still can’t compare to yours. [She hands that rose to you, person who’s watching this through the communicator which means that you can’t touch this obviously plastic rose.]

Should you, the lovely queens that you are, choose to grace us with your presence tonight, you need only to bring yourselves and a tribute of chocolate, so that once this night comes to a close, and you are to disappear from our sights forever, we may gaze upon your neatly wrapped sweets and remember the way your hair would smell, your fond embrace and your kindness. [And then he joins Gura in pointing at the communicator.] Just do it!

Visit us tonight as Yorozuya May Host Club! Fuu!

[ Blue font is Gin~~toki~~. Red font is KaGura..

Are you ready for love? THE LOG IS RIGHT HERE. Again, this is not a scam for Valentines Day chocolate. ]

[Santana greets the camera with a smile, something the network hasn't seen in a while from anyone. She's not totally feeling the smiling, since she's still a little worn out from that last week of mayhem, but she keeps it up pretty convincingly so she can make her pitch.]

Hey. I'm sure you're all aware, but Valentine's Day is right around the corner. If you come from one of those sad worlds that don't know what that is, it's the fourteenth, and basically what happens is you buy things for people you want to make out with. Usually chocolate.

But since the collective confidence of the girls here couldn't fill a damn lipgloss tube, and I'm just a great person who would feel awful if I didn't give back, I'm offering a one time only workshop called How to Be Confident and Sexy and Get What You Want. You girls need this.

[Fuuka, Kaoru, she's looking at you.]

BREW has pretty good taste, so most of the people here are marginally hot already, with a little guidance, there is no excuse for being single on Valentine's Day. If there's nobody here you're just dying to fondle, find someone cute to go on a date with. With so many nervous and skittish people around here, we're all in danger of having the most depressing Valentine's Day ever, and I can't let that happen.

So, Death City Heights, building seven, apartment 1B, Thursday. That gives you two days to work your new magic, which should be more than enough.

Any questions?

The past few days... they have been particularly hard ones, haven't they? [Fuu sighs, wearily. She's tired. It's hard not to be.]

I think now might be a good time to ask, if anything... what would you suggest to do to relax in the city? Back home, I'll admit I spent most of my time indoors, but reading and playing games tend to be solitary hobbies...

And I would like to meet more friends, and spend time with the ones I have.

[For a moment, Fuuka wasn't sure if this was a good idea and especially to comment on something like this when Valentine's Day was just around the corner. She did had a talk with Colette about this and made her even more unsure about what she was going to ask. She was never the person to directly go to someone. Besides, she always felt so guilty whenever she has to talk to someone about her problems. It was kind of selfish to dump all her problems to this simple question but...after 2 months, she felt like she needed to talk her frustrations out. It wouldn't hurt if it was an anonymous text...right?]

How do you get over a former love?

[She was going to comment on how do you deal when you have someone giving you some mysterious chocolate from an admirer but...she'll stick with one problem at a time]

Can I ask an important question? If this place is so advanced compared to my world, why do you guys still sew up cuts with itchy string?

[Guess who has stitches?]

I mean, I've been here for months, and I still don't get it. If you want someone to avoid scratching at the stitches, use something that doesn't itch!

[Guess who keeps scratching at her stitches?]

[There seems to be nothing on screen at first, and it'll take some squinting to realize that the feed's showing someone lounging back on a couch in one of the rooms at the Casualty Communal ~~(Bansai's room, actually)~~, as though the communicator's positioned against his knees or a similar location. It's hard to make out who you're looking at, but a few moments later, it becomes obvious what he's doing: taking a pipe, putting it to its lips, lighting up, taking a long drag, exhaling.

The flicker of a flame revealed what might be a familiar face to you, only significantly older, with bandages over one side of his face.

Yes, Death City. Say hello to Takasugi Shinsuke all over again. But it isn't the Takasugi that you're familiar with at all.

Or are you?

No words, first: only movement. He's reaching out towards the switch of the lamp beside him, flicking it on.]

Hou. So it boils down to this yet again.

[Another drag, exhale. He's glancing out the window.]

I see that you are still at war, Shibusen. A shame that your toy hasn't stopped bringing in people to fight it for you.

[Then, he turns and smiles, slow and amused... or is he? Hard to say.]

I may be convinced to help again.

[The video feed comes on to the office Megumi has now occupied in the General Hospital. You can see tatami flooring and a pot simmering on a hot plate. A timer dings in the background and there is the sound of her speaking:]

This is ridiculous. What is the need for all of these papers, I'm up to my ears in them. Taking the time to fill them all out takes time away from where we should be-- the patient's bedside. And why is this "medical board" having us perform so many tests on each patient even when the diagnosis is already clear? No one gets better from running all of these unnecessary tests, but we have to bill them anyway. It's a waste of time and money-- ours and the patients'.

[A man's voice can be heard, it's an NPC supervisor] That's not my concern, Doctor Tanaka. Fill out the files or-- do what the rest of them do, get yourself an assistant and make them do it. I don't care, just get it done. Good day.

[The door closes and Megumi turns around and shuffles back towards where the communicator is. She can be heard cracking an egg into a bowl and muttering something that sounds very much like:]

It's Takani, you stupid ass.

[She cracks another egg for her tamagoyaki, and that's when she notices the mirror was on that whole time.]

Hmph. Figures.

If you are out there, and you're injured-- and I know there are many of you after all of that. Come to the clinic at the hospital tonight or tomorrow. I won't give you the same nonsense or run-around that they are recommending us to. It's my job to get you well and back home.

[Open to action threads here, or you can tag in to this log!]

[ Tenma has been in a rut even since the black blood incident. He had been slowly improving until the news about Ryuuji. Tenma didn't know him very long but that wouldn't stop Tenma from considering Ryuuji a good friend. It was with Ryuuji's help that he took his first step as a Meister.

He wouldn't have been any help this time so he kept out of trouble the best he could, but realizing how real the danger is in this place has made Tenma decide that inaction is not an option. Not when his friends can be in so much trouble. ]

I was wondering if anyone maybe wanted to try resonating with me. Uhm… Ryuuji said that my Meister Abiltiy is called Soul Blitz. It's just like playing soccer! So maybe I'll be okay at it.

But uhm, I haven't ever resonated with someone before. And I don't really know anything about using any weapons or fighting...

[ A hopeless grin spreads on Tenma's face and he scratches a cheek. ]

I guess I'm not making a very good case for myself, haha. Sorry. Maybe someone could help me at least. I want to be useful next time something bad happens!

[If it's not one bad situation, then it's another. Sanosuke's not even sure how to really handle this one but he knows one sure fire way to remedy something like that.]

Tch. Can anyone just tell me where’s the closest place to get a drink here?

[He had planned on just asking but as if on cue, his stomach rumbles rather loudly. Sano presses his lips together. Ah, what the hell.]

And a free meal. I don't have any cash on me right now and I'm starving!

As has already been announced, Doctor Watson has been returned home. Although he may be gone, I remain in his place and will continue to do so as long as I'm here.

For those of you who are new or unfamiliar with me: my name is Naomi Kimishima, an experienced doctor and former surgeon. Currently I help keep the clinic in working order, and if you're on the Watch or are planning to join it, then I also happen to be responsible for you when you need medical attention - remember that. If you're not on the Watch, chances are you may see me anyway. I'm on duty from six in the evening until six in the morning, and after that I lead lessons on basic first aid for field purposes at morning training. If you want to find me, look in those places at the specified times or contact me via communicator.

That's it for now. Thank you for your time.

[Filter: Clinic workers]

We're going to need a second head again, for both workload and practical purposes. We lost Rockbell some time ago, and now we've lost Watson as well. I have no illusions about my permanence here either. In the event that I leave, somebody else should be here and able to take my place.

The job requires its own work, however. The clinic doesn't run on its own, after all, and I understand that there are only so many people with extensive medical experience and learning here. Still, is anybody willing to take it on?

[The video comes on to a kimono-clad lady who seems to be mid-tirade, hiding in a back alley. She doesn't know how to aim a camera at her face so you get to see her upside down, mostly a chest shot.]

--if I'm not checking the knitting of the bones and nerves he may lose use of his hand. Ken-san, his body is still recovering from fighting that Shishio Makoto! He nearly died and he needs treatment still! Not to mention, I have patients in Tokyo who are waiting for me to return. Furuhashi-san’s baby won’t deliver itself, and she is a first-time mother. Dr. Gensai will need my help.

Are you even listening? [She smacks the mirror with her hand a few times for good measure, frowning angrily.] I went on your "tour" and I don't care what you want me to do. I've had enough of this. You spoiled little "Death God" boy, and all of you brightly-colored-hair devils, you stop playing around with people’s lives. Human beings are not your pawns to control. Return me to that train right now.

[She huffs imperiously and pushes buttons. She thinks she has turned the mirror off, but has actually simply pressed the wrong button. Now she moves off-camera and is muttering to herself in worry and panic.]

Tch. What am I to do...? This can’t possibly be real--

Seems it's still needed. Don't mind us.
