Thanks a bunch for this, I really enjoy being sent back and forth as BREW pleases. I see it still makes no sense at all. What is the point of sending me away for two months, really?

[ he eventually switches to voice, to be recognized ]

Who here remembers me? [ a pause ] Uhm - Karina. Is she still around?

[ OOC: anyone who wishes to meet Matt personally, he is over the intro log ]

[Here’s a face which might be familiar to some although its owner wouldn’t recognize anyone. The man (or is it a woman?) is dressed in an elaborate Chinese robe and inclines his head towards the camera. The chin length black hair concealing a portion of his face shifts and those who look closely might catch a glimpse of a yellow eye, a mismatch for the other violet one. Or the fading bruise marring the cheek below.]

Now that unpleasant business is over with, allow me to introduce myself. I am known as Count D.

[D smiles although he’s not pleased with the situation, being drawn into some foolish human war. And even more distressing is the fact that animals wouldn’t just obey him here. The way that moose attacked him! Fortunately, he’s had a lot of practice masking his true feelings and has had a few days to recover from the shock of that discovery.]

If I am to be stranded here, I would like to hear your recommendations of the best tea shops and bakeries in this city. Suggestions of your favorite items from these establishments would also be welcome. [After all that has happened, he especially feels the need for tea and sweets.]

I also find myself in need of a good tailor. One who can make robes of the Chinese style. [His outfit could use mending and some of those clothes in the mall were in even worse taste than Leon’s wardrobe!]

[ have an angel, death City! Kaworu is (of course) smiling, but if you ever paid attention to kaworu’s smiles before, this one is a bit different. Quieter. Maybe a bit worried.

In any case, he speaks softly, as usual ]

Hello, Death City. I hope things are well with you after the last battle. I understand it was quite difficult to some. [ yeah, he and Allen had a hard time, too. But that’s not why he is making this post ]

I’d like to know your opinion on something. I suppose it’s a question for Weapons, however, I’m certain Meisters can answer too. How do you feel about the consumption of souls we are asked to do, in this world? Though they are the souls of an enemy, though they are twisted souls, though there is a purpose, are you alright with consuming such thing?

[ Hello again, Death City! Near sincerely hopes all of you are feeling fine and dandy, not because he actually cares, but because healthy (or living / mostly unharmed) guests means more customers, and he is finally going to pimp out Black Mesa over the network. The feed starts out as audio, and although Near hates doing this kind of thing, he doesn’t let that show in his voice; it remains as neutral as always.]

Good afternoon. As some of you may remember, a guest by the name of Matt once founded Black Mesa Consulting: a house call technician business which involves repairing computers, business equipment, security systems, and broadcasting and wireless systems. After BREW sent Matt and his second in command back to their respective worlds, it was passed on to me.

We are currently hiring. If you wish to apply for a position, contact me. If you are interested in our services instead, contact the company.

[He links to his inbox and to Black Mesa’s general inbox.]

One of Matt’s and Black Mesa’s greatest contributions to this world was the creation of the Madness Geiger Counter.

( And here is the Madness Geiger Counter, oocly cut to spare your reading lists! )

The MGC is copyrighted and belongs exclusively to Black Mesa, so if you wish to acquire it, do not hesitate to contact us. Needless to say, this device is invaluable during missions, city-wide invasions, or just about any situation in which madness wavelength is involved, no matter how small and seemingly insignificant its intensity may be.

Thank you for your time.

[THANK GOODNESS THIS IS OUT OF THE WAY. Now he can go back to what really matters: building lego structures!]

[FILTERED to Amateratsu]

I finished customizing one of my radio controlled cars to make it faster, more resistant, and similar to a small furry animal in appearance. Do you still want to play?

[Psii has never shown face on network before. Has concluded doing so now is marginally less embarrassing than having to describe similarities between self and imposters, as would be necessary to supply context for text post. This way, other imports to Death City can see mismatched eyes and mustard-yellow t-shirt (this one with honeycomb pattern) for selves, and draw appropriate conclusion.]

Don't know exactly how attackers got powers that rightfully belong to self. But am sorry for trouble they caused.

Does anyone know how they were able to mimic?

[private to Amaterasu]

Want to level up. Would you like to go on mission?

I'm sure 8y now many of you have 8orn witness to increasing prevalence of o8jects and 8eings that have 8een appearing lately. While this is already trou8lesome, there also some that seems to 8e recognizing the o8jects as well. I find this concerning, 8ut until I have a 8it more information of why this is occurring I would prefer not to speak of what this may possi8ly 8e.

8ut more to the point, I 8elieve that this may 8e an indication of even more o8jects and 8eings may 8ecome predominant. I would ask that if you have seen any such o8jects that are familiar to you and the world that you have come to say so that I may have some confirmation of this theory. Also, perhaps it would 8e prudent if we also discussed the various dangers that exist in our respective worlds so that we may prepare for them.

Hrrnnn....Hello?

[The lupine EVO is sitting alone in the apartment he shared with Holiday and Six. Most everything appears untouched, except his pile of blankets in the corner has gotten significantly bigger. On the floor in front of him, there is a small collection of Souls he has earned on his two successful missions.]

Ummm...wh-what am I supposed to do with them?

[ The video clicks on, and it's clear that Ghoulia isn't in her own residence. For those who have been there, it is clearly the residence of one C.A. Cupid. Some of her things are visible nearby, and Ghoulia is slumped on the bed. This isn't something she can just ignore, and she's exhausted every resource she can. It wasn't possible that Cupid was just "on her way back" from the Shelter anymore. ]

[ She just has to be as professional as she can about this, but it's definitely clear she's not at all happy. ]

Fellow residents of Death City. Cupid, our resident goddess of love and good friend to many, is missing. [ A pause. ] I fear that she has departed the city entirely. I...

[ "I", what? She really can't think of any more to say. Why had Cupid vanished? So soon after her previous disappearance and reappearance. As much as it hurt for her to be gone, it would hurt more to desperately wait for her return. She wasn't sure what else to do, but the more others that knew, the better. With a slight shake of her head, she ends the video looking more upset than when it began. ~~Which is all worth noting considering her usual lack of expression at all~~. ]

awfullyironic

dude im in a city and its got people
hell yes i need to get me some supplies if yall feel like helpin a bro out

squeeze that shit over a glass and OH SNAP
fuckin apple juice
freshest of the fresh

[There's a pensive moment before Ramza begins speaking.]

From war to rebellion, from the star-signs to the fiends, from missions to madness... I could once have very well have mistaken the strife of this world for that of my own. And... [a pause.] ...Mayhap I am fated to the same struggles here, as well. But I will not wait to see my secrets come to chase me here, nor wait to see them spilled by madness or sorcery. It will be by my will and my hand.

So thus let me be the one to tell you that ere I arrived I was a blasphemer, a murderer, a kinslayer.

( It only goes on from there... )

[PRIVATE to Meenah, Aranea, and Psiionic]

I pray you are all well. But I can tarry no longer in asking... Why is it that you wear the marks of the celestial houses?

sermonize

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.

It seems as Guests of Shibusen, the Witches have a particular fondness for testing their newly developed Madness devices on us. This is the third or so time they've done as much. Unfortunately, there is generally little to be done to prevent it, as very few of us can ward them off, but information at least, may prove useful. I've compiled a list of the devices and procedures I've witnessed the effects of below.

Evening, Death City- hope the evening's finding everyone alright...!

[Cupid's voice comes amidst the slight clinking of dishes being put away- which may explain why the post is all audio instead of her usual video.]

Okay, so I've been thinking, since Blair brought it up to me and... I think- considering recent events and the fact that the city probably isn't as safe as it could be- that more of those here could probably use partners- or at the very least, someone they can call on when things get a little hectic.

Therefore, I'd like to suggest a kind of... partnership speed-dating event- though really it could be for regular dating too.

For anyone that doesn't know what speed dating entails, it's pretty simple. Those interested gather in a venue and are given a number- then half are seated at tables and the other half switch around the tables after a certain amount of time. Usually not more than ten minutes, but the duration is totally up for discussion depending on everyone's preferences.

Each person has a paper that they write things down on- namely which people they got along with best and would like to see more of. Then at the end of the night, the papers are given to the Host, and the host then pairs up those who thought the highest of each other for longer 'dates', so to speak, at a later time. Obviously for anyone looking for partners it wouldn't be so much a 'date' as probably a resonance trial or even a mission... but still!

I think it sounds like a good idea... what do you guys think?

I don't have a date in mind yet, but I think waiting until after the Gala is probably a good idea, just to make sure everyone has time to wind down from something like that. I'm also open to venue suggestions if anyone has any ideas- actually, I'm pretty open to suggestions, period...!

[Here she finally takes a pause in her slightly too-peppy ramble to take a breath and almost palpably hesitates before continuing.]

Oh, one more thing before I forget- um... it looks like Jack's gone, so I've got a bunch of extra cupcakes I'm probably not going to finish, if anyone wants to drop by and take them off my claws I'd appreciate it.

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.

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.

[ The video feed opens, but shows only the sunrise. Pretty, isn't it? The scorching rays are only just beginning to heat the city up, and there's still the slight darkness looming over the city. The view is offered from the 13th floor of Casualty Communal. After a few moments, Kanaya speaks. ]

Good morning, Death City. I must admit that a view such as this, one of the sunrise, is a most pleasant one to accompany my first morning here. Likely like a handful of other residents, I find the sunrise to be a beautiful, pleasant beginning to the day. Others may view it as a disappointing end to the night. Neither view is wrong, but at the very least for those who may miss it today, it is here.

[ After a moment, she turns the video to face herself, and she's sitting on one of her room's chairs on her balcony. A jade-green Virgo symbol (♍) is clearly visible on her black short-sleeve shirt, and is one of only three things that break away from her monochrome colors; the other two being the yellows (not whites) of her eyes and her horns. The residents of Death City have seen a troll before, though only those who are more familiar with them (or trolls themselves) will notice that her gray skin is notably lighter than the others here. ]

Good morning to each and every one of you. To those I already know, I look forward to our time here. To those I do not yet know, I am Kanaya Maryam. [ A smile. ] Sunrise or not, may you all have a bright, pleasant day.

[ She turns the feed back to the sunrise for a few moments, offering the beautiful sight once more... before she ends it. There was no sense in beginning anyone's day anything but pleasantly. ]

[Hey Death City! Look, it's Chika showing up on your devices. And she's... not in a good mood, at all.]

You know, it figures, after weeks of trying to get extra help for the Arcade, that this would happen right when it looks like I'd actually be able to go on a normal mission. Thanks a lot BREW!

[She sighs, trying to calm down a bit, since she hadn't really meant to complain on the network.]

... I'm not sure how many people knew him here, but my partner Zero's been sent home by BREW. I just figured I should let anyone who knew him know.

[And you know, maybe see if anyone who answers this happens to be a sword... though maybe she should calm down a bit first and not jump to the first person who looks like they might want to partner with her.]

[ Hello Death City, you are now faced with an apparently very warm Re-l Mayer. There's a fan blowing somewhere in the background, a dull hum going through the air, fanning herself on top of that with her free hand. In the other is what is apparently a snow cone, or some sort of frozen fruit drink, trying to keep herself cool enough that she doesn't feel like passing out.

Back in her home world, every thing was a frozen waste - much different than this hell parable she was apparently currently trapped in, in an apartment that she was trying to fix, no less.

Being trapped inside by heat and sun was not something she was very pleased with, and by the way she's dressed in lounge clothes, with her hair tied up and away from her neck - she's been trying to fix it, then. ]

How the hell anyone manages to function in this heat and sun is absolutely beyond me. [ Hence why all of her blinds are practically taped closed. ]

What are some favored ways to cool down, for people that are more used to this than myself? In my world it's more likely that you'll freeze to death than suffer heat exhaustion, so as you can assume I am not very well equipped to deal with heat.

... Also, considering the amount of inventors and technologically inclined people, here, I have a question for you. Is there anyone who is experienced in touch modified holographic technologies? I have the shell of a notebook I used in my world, with holographic pages, that I would like to get back up and running if at all possible.

My notes are better kept in that, anyway.

If anyone would like to look it over, leave me a message and we can see about setting a time for a meeting.

[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.
