Kuri kuri!

[People of death city there is currently a strange creature broadcasting to you live from a nondescript bedroom. It's brown and fuzzy and rather round with large purple eyes and it keeps bouncing around like it's never been so happy as it is right now to meet you all.

In it's rampant enthusiasm it manages to send the device on a rather dizzying topple off the table where it was perched.]

Kuri kuri!

Huh... Kuriboh? [Seems the creature isn't alone.]

Where did you... Hey! Give me that!

[The face of the pharaoh appears only briefly before his hand closes around the feed and it cuts shorts.]

...

[A second message follows maybe twenty minutes later, with Atem looking far more compose although the call of his companion spirit can still be heard echoing gleefully in the background.

Someone has discovered running water in the bathroom.]

I don't suppose this is the city's answer to latent dissent among the guests or any lingering homesickness?

[Make no mistake, he may sound annoyed but really finds it pretty amusing. ~~How could anyone be upset about kuriboh?~~]

Ok, now that lots of stuff nobody really cares about happened I guess there’s an update in order: Anybody involved in that LRPG plan, feel yourselves informed that it’s on indefinite hold since the one in charge doesn’t feel like wasting all of that effort and attention on an ungrateful git anymore.

Things might get picked up later on, but for now that’s that.

[There is a pause and a faint close-by clinking sound of a spoon hitting a side of a cup while the background shows the familiar background of the Hikan Café. Bakura takes a sip before he gives the camera a serious, calculating look.]

I’ve also decided to rent out some of my special talents. I’m a Meister with lots of experience, no partner, good with pretty much all kind of Weapons and any kind of monsters. I’m an expert on the occult and treasures as well, but that’s not relevant.

I’ll go with you on a mission for a fixed rate, no questions asked, no strings attached. If you want to do something different than monster-hunting, ask first.

[Private to Yuugi]

Hey vessel. How are you doing?

[Private to Yuugi]
The host-protection has been officially revoked.

[Private to Nanami]
Did you get my flowers?

[Open to all]

Alright, now that the kidnap-season is over is apparently over.. I’m looking for a princess for a city-wide event. It can be either a real one or somebody who’d be good at playing the role, guys can apply too. Payment’s generous.

That said, I’m also looking for somebody who’s familiar with the library and cares to give somebody who’s not a tour.

tauborn

[He looks a little worried, when in fact he is actually a lot worried.]

Um, has anyone heard from Yako today? Or... yesterday?

[The hallway behind him isn't his own. In fact, anyone who has been over to Yako's would know he's standing right in front of her door. He's posting this video after knocking for a desperately long time.]

lezard_valeth

[The feed begins, the angle revealing the front of a shop with a sign reading Yesterday's Magic. The view is perfect... deliberately so, the light of the moon casting a silvered light against the cobble, wood and metal, a fog (dust from the desert?) hanging in the air. A pair of figures are moving quickly from off-camera, approaching the front of the shop and inspecting it before setting down a sack.]

--face when she found it? She just about shit!

Sshh! Help me get this set up. I can't see a thing in this crap.

[The two figures hunch down and get to work, crowding around the sack. But as the fog began to build, the two begin muttering their frustrations. It's getting harder to see, and since when was there fog like this in a desert? But there's a flash of light, a brief wisp of fire, and something rising presumably from the ground in front of the shop; a slender figure wrapped in a black cloak with the hood drawn, too tall to be human. The moment they notice, the two immediately spring back.]

Thou hast summoned me...

What the hell's that thing!?

But thou hast offered an insufficient blood sacrifice... a curse upon thee for thy insult! [The voice that comes from the figure is deep and distorted.]

'Sacrifice'? 'Curse'!?

Oh... oh god... the chickens, dude! I think it called some shit up!

So send it back or something!

HOW, dumbass!?

A curse upon your eyes and of those you hold dear! May insects crawl and feast behind your eyelids! May your ears be forever filled with the buzz of their wings! Let it be but a temporary repentance until the agony grows too strong to bear... and I will come to ensure a blood debt repaid!

[The pair seems unsure of what to do, frozen in place, until from the sleeves of the cloak grow long, twisted fingers as the figure draws in closer and reaches for them. The distorted voice rises in a strange language, words in a rolling staccato that grew louder and louder as the two decide they don't wish to be cursed and scatter, screaming, with the figure hot on their trail. Listeners familiar with Old Norse might recognize a recitation of the Lord's Prayer and little more. For a full minute there is nothing but the foggy storefront, and shouting in the air that faded off into the distance.]

Really, now? Pathetic...

[But then the ghoul returns, stopping to chuckle. When the hood was pulled back, a bespectacled human face is revealed, grinning like a devil as a small mouthpiece was pulled away from his lips. As the figure has to all but clutch his stomach as he doubles over laughing, the video ends.]

[ooc: Red font is, of course, this jerk.]

shiromadoushi

( Long solo action spam under here, feel free to ignore! )

i cant

[[His finger slips and hits the send button, the words vanishing onto the network, incomplete and useless. No. No, he didn't mean to send that. He had to fix it. He couldn't.... couldn't...

Instead of trying to correct his mistake, he simply stares at the screen as if somehow by doing that, it would fix the words into what he had meant to say. Even if he wasn't even sure what that was any more.]]

tauborn

[When the feed switches on, it’s obvious enough that it isn’t intentional, since Yako is in the middle of speaking.]

—can’t believe you actually punched them.

...They had it coming.

[If he sounds a little defensive about it, it’s because he is.]

Takuto. I understand that...well, that in situations like that, you would naturally want to beat sense into the people involved. I know that. But that doesn’t give you the justification to actually hit them. It’s usually just a phrase.

[She sighs, and then goes to rummage in the freezer for a moment.]

[He’s silent, thinking over her words. But in the end, they might just have to disagree.]

Usually. But I’ve always found it to be really effective for really important things. And this was important.

Still, I would think there’s enough damage between friends done already on that front, without bringing physical pain into the mix...

[She emerges with an ice pack, which she quickly wraps in a hand towel and presses gently against his shoulder.]

[He’s kind of used to getting beat up just a little, so he takes the cold without whining. Besides, he is of course going to take it like a man in front of his girlfriend. But he’s silent for a long moment, putting his words together before he speaks.]

I don’t think they are good for each other. I think they can’t see anything but each other, and even then they can’t see what they actually do to each other.

[Yako is quiet for a moment, but when she finally speaks, it’s as gently as she can.]

Takuto, we don’t know every detail. I mean...I want to believe that they can handle this sort of thing. They probably—hopefully—have a long, strong history between them that led up to that incident. I...well, I’m actually beginning to wonder if I ever really understood him in particular, but...

[She sighs.]

I don’t know. Sorry, you helped a lot, but my head’s still a little mixed up right n—

[The feed cuts out as abruptly as it started.]

topgun_textiles

[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.]

i_am_not_eleven

[There’s a rustle coming from the communicator and the quiet groan of someone burying their face into something.]

...sleepy....

[There’s a different, softer sigh and the sound of someone else shifting under covers.]

....mmnph...quiet....

[The bed creaks as if it is adjusting to accommodate a shift in weight.]

...come over here...it’s too early anyways.....

[That earns another groggy noise, one indicating either acceptance or that the other party is drifting back into the realm of unconsciousness anyways. Things meld into a quiet lull for a few minutes, until there is an ominous creaking of metal and a loud crash, peppered with at least two yelps. One of which is decidedly not human.]

Wh-What the...! ….SAI?!

( OOC cut for length )

doc_holi

[Six and Holiday were sitting in their new apartment together for this video. However, it's only the doctor that speaks. Six remains quiet next to her, but he's there for moral support and all. Besides, this was his idea in the first place.]

We had heard about the casualties during the city wide invasion and we were thinking that... there should be some sort of memorial for them all. For the residents of Death City and the guests alike. We were just wondering what opinions everyone had about this.

kuriboh_boy

[The screen flickers on and Judai sits there blinking at the camera, a small smile on his face.] I’ve been thinking about starting a blog ever since I left Duel Academy. [His comment sounds idle and a hint of exhaustion creeps into his voice towards the end of the sentence. A moment later, he's all smiles though, shaking the camera a little.]

Hey! So, I'm new here! I guess... that's a thing that happens, huh? [He laughs and rubs the back of his neck.] My name's Judai! It's nice to meet you all! Or, I mean, it would be if you were... y'know... here instead of... [He gestures vaguely.] On the other side of a network I think??

[Judai pauses for a moment here and then eagerly reaches off screen, pulling his hand back into view with a deck of cards a moment later.] So I was think that maybe somebody might wanna duel me? It'd really be great! I love taking on new challengers, and since you're all new... [He trails off and his smile falters for a moment before he hitches it right back on.]

So yeah! Hit me up if you wanna duel! I can meet up with you wherever! Uh, so long as you tell me where I'm going. [With a snicker, he winks at the camera.] See ya soon!

mieru_mienai

[Filtered to Atem]

[Under normal circumstances Yuugi would be using text, but circumstances are obviously not normal. He's in a rush, therefore, Atem is privy to the tense and even panicked edge to his voice, feelings that Yuugi wants to hide from him but can't right now because of everything that's happened.

He should've done this yesterday, the moment they got back from the mission! What kind of partner... Damn.]

Hey! Are you okay?

shiromadoushi

[[Private to Yuugi]]

Where are you?

[[Private to Mello]]

Ryuzaki's at my apartment. He'll be safe out of the way there.

[[Private to Takuto]]

Something's going on and I'm worried about everyone. Can we team up?

shiromadoushi

How important are names? If you have to switch what you're called, does it change what people think of you?

[[There's a lot more he wants to ask, but there were so many false starts that it took him a good 10 minutes to even just have those two things typed out.]]

Current Mood: pensive

doc_holi

Just a, uh... quick question to the other Weapons here.

I've already tried looking things up on this, but I'm just a bit wary about trusting some of the material.

Weapons get stronger by collecting souls, right? Eating them... basically. I've heard that there was an alternative and Weapons could choose to not collect them, but-

What happens to the souls that we do collect? And can we still get stronger if we choose not to... do that?

pregames

[Up until now Atem has been more or less content with just ignoring this perplexing piece of technology. However, it was an eventful day at the tournament and one can only be mistaken for someone else so many times before addressing it became a necessity.]

It has come to my attention that a number of you are acquainted with a certain Yuugi and there is a need to set a few things straight. Before finding myself here, I had no relation to him whatsoever. While I cannot not deny the resemblance, he would hardly pass for an Egyptian, let alone a pharaoh like myself. Ergo, this case of mistaken identity is growing to be rather tedious.

[There's a pause where he debates how much more needs to be said. How hard could it be? There was two of them. Stop confusing them. The whole 'future self' part was proving difficult enough as it is. Then there was that other matter. He knew bringing up the issue of identity was just inviting people to ask about another, one that prompts a slightly awkward hesitation.]

As for my name... it is.... insignificant. But if there is a need to address me in the future, my title should suffice. I pray this clears up some of the confusion. [And just like that the feed cuts out abruptly.]

dead_black_eyes

My cat is lost.

It's mean-tempered, not very bright, mangy and just generally terrible. The breed is Cornish Rex, the age is "old", and the color is something between smoke and mud. The sex is male.

Wear thick gloves if you attempt to pick it up.

[Privately Coded to Mello, Near, and Matt] [Audio]

Relevant information follows, so listen carefully.

Yagami doesn't know that he died, and he doesn't know that I'm aware of the events following my own death... including the fact that I know he is Kira. For now, I want to keep it this way. Should any of you encounter him, feign ignorance. If something changes, I will inform you immediately.

[Privately Coded to Bakura] [Text]

1. I got those cards you left for me, and I saw some people playing in public the other day. I am still trying to decide whether I actually want to look like those individuals, but the prognosis is grim. 2. What I didn't tell you recently is that Light is back in the city. Don't talk to him. I'm concerned that you'll ruin something with your general bumbling and strangeness. 3. I am out of shortcake.

[Privately Coded to Yuugi] [Text]

When is the next time you're not going to be over at Bakura's?

[Privately Coded to Eridan] [Audio]

I am nearly certain that our surveillance of Kadaj will draw to a close soon. I want you to know that you have an excellent reference, if you want to take a different position within the Watch.

As much as I like having you work for me, you're too talented to fetch coffee and check spreadsheets. Also, I'll be working alone for my next assignment, by my own decision.

[Privately Coded to Light] [Audio]

How are you acclimating to Death City? I thought we should meet sometime soon. Maybe in the neighborhood of "right now?"

tauborn

[Takuto has an announcement for everyone in Death City! Yes, his hair looks like that, and yes, he is wearing that magnificent white coat.]

Hi, I'm Takuto!

So we got a lot of new people here lately, and I'd like to let everyone know that there's a drama club, and we're looking to recruit new members! We'll be meeting the day after tomorrow at 5 pm in the basement of the World's End pub.

I hope to see some new faces there! If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask me!

[He almost turns off the feed, and then he looks a little sheepish and he doesn't quite look at the screen as his next words come out.]

To everyone who's already in drama club, sorry we haven't had practice lately. I... had some things.

want_the_world

I haven't observed as many stupid questions this time around, so good show, new people.

Still, read this.

[He links to his FAQ for Death City.]

[private voice to Kaworu]

Hey. Angel. You have a piano, don't you?

[private text to Feferi]

Feel free to swing by whenever you want. Sollux knows where we live.

soul_mods

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