( Cut for Courier/Troll Quirk )

Welcome back to Barney's legendary blog. I know that my devoted readers have been just dying to see how I've fared over the last 24 hours, and I'll be glad to fill everybody in. Especially the ladies... high five!

1. My Suit

Yesterday while the sandstorm was being lame and I had nothing better to do, I did a favor for a lover of spandex and wrote a touching story. My mysterious and likely extremely hot benefactor came through for me in a major way, donating money for a suit. It took all morning in fittings and price-negotiating, but I finally have my suit! Suits are like Doritos or women, though... you can't have just one. Basic black is necessary, but so is pinstripe, two shades of grey, navy blue, and then doubles just in case something, heaven forbid, happens to one of your well-fitting friends. And then the fun suits, like white or diamond-encrusted, and so on and so forth. Obviously, to fund these suits, I need more money. Which means I need a job. No problem, I'm used to having a job and I'm actually happier living a luxurious lifestyle. Which brings me to...

2. My Crappy "Apartment"

Seriously, Death City? Seriously? This is no kind of bachelor pad. Casualty Communal is a cute name, and all, but you might as well call it "Casual, Sweatpants Broke-Ass Community Living Center for Sad Losers." I can't continue living here. I can't take a woman back to this place. But the computer came in handy. So I spent this afternoon making and editing a video resume with the camera on my communicator, some awesome stock footage, and my apartment's computer, which brings me to...

3. My Legend...wait for it...dary! My LEGENDARY Video Resume!

Potential employers of Death City. I want you all to pay close attention to your next star employee. He possesses the qualities of a leader, the mindset of a team player, and sickening amounts honesty, integrity, and perseverance!

[From the looks of it, Loki is at the top of Shibusen's stairs. He's sitting cross-legged on the ground in front of the propped-up mirror, and there is an empty DeathRobbins cup sitting next to him at the edge of the shot.

The Madness wavelength really shook him. He's spent most of today thinking about Things, totally blowing off his job to wander around the park and climb up to the top of the city. Loki is visibly subdued, far from his usual chipper self. Although the ice cream did help a little. He'd heard it might.]

People of Death City...will you tell me of your families?

Hey, there's something I've been wondering lately. How many people come from a time much different than the others from their world? Most of my friends from my world all come from times that were around two years ago for me, and...it's strange, I suppose, being from such a different time from all of them.

[Especially when he only met those friends a few months from his perspective before he arrived in Death City. But he doesn't say that.]

Has this happened to anyone else? I don't think I've ever really talked with anyone about it before.

My name's Emil, by the way. I'm a meister, and I'm still looking for a weapon if anybody's interested. I usually use a sword, but I think I can try other things too. I, um...I become somebody else when we fight - another me. My friends call him my Ratatosk Mode. I know it's weird, and it might make working together a little harder, but I know both I and my other self want to find a partner and help out more here. So if anybody's okay with needing to work with both me and him, I'd like to try something out. Thank you.

YO, people of Death City! I got somethin' important to talk about.

I dunno how far word has spread, but I've been told by a few people now that there's this legendary sword who gives the users ultimate powers and can win this war. Dunno why no one's tried to find it yet -- but I've been lookin'! It ain't in the toilet of Keroro's shop, by the way, Luna.

[ Natsu holds up the LEGENDARY BOOK OF EXCALIBUR. Then he flips through to show a picture of the sword embedded in stone. ]

It's apparently in this cave. So here's what I'm thinkin'. We go get it. We take a day to prepare a team and then go out and get our hands on the weapon. Lots of us wanna go home, right? Shibusen needs us to win the war, right?

[ He taps the book's cover with his hand. ]

This is our best shot. Who's with me?

I'm glad more friends from home showed up. It's great to see Zelos is back, and Sheena is here now too! Though I haven't heard from Presea in a bit.... Um, how did everyone enjoy Valentines? I'd never heard of it before, but Fuuka told me and we made chocolates together! It was really fun, and I got to spend the day with Lloyd.

[Day spent with him after handing out chocolates to her friends. Not that either of them considered spending the day together a date or even know what a date is because this is Lloyd and Colette here. She's quiet for a moment, considering if there was anything else.]

I hope the person -- um, vigilante is caught! Stay safe everyone, okay? Be careful, until they are caught and stopped. We don't need more people getting hurt or killed. With everyone keeping an eye out, I'm sure it won't be too long....

[Oh yes, Death City, prepare to receive a text message from one Sheena Fujibayashi, which is meant for Zelos only:]

Zelos:

I need to speak to you. Is there any way we can meet privately?

Sheena

[Hits "Send to All" instead of "Private" when finished.]

Current Mood: thoughtful

[The feed starts, revealing a confused and angry-looking Sheena glancing about the room. The picture jostles steadily as though being bounced in irritation in her hand.]

Okay. I really have no idea what’s going on, but if I find out that you’re behind this, Zelos Wilder, you’ll get more than a smack to the head.

[Her voice raises, and her brows knit together.]

Do you hear me?! [Sighs.] He probably can; he’s just waiting for his “voluptuous hunny” [sarcasm is evident] to calm down. Which isn’t going to happen. Zelos! I swear—[the picture shifts suddenly, becoming off-kilter and skewing rapidly as it reveals it’s falling past her legs.]

Damn! I don’t need more bad lu---[picture cuts out as the device hits the ground.]

Man, things have been really hectic past few days. [With the monsters attacking the city and the number of people he had to rescue...and to top that, there was the Madness going on and those kidnappings he had heard about, orz] This whole war situation is worse than I thought...[And incredibly inconvenient when you’re only armed with your fists, as Zidane has discovered]....those monsters would have been less of a handful if I had my daggers with me...

So, I’ve been doing a little bit of thinking. It looks like I’m not gonna get far in this place without someone to partner with. So, I was wondering if anyone is still looking for a Weapon to go on all those missions? If you’re a girl and you’re cute, that’d be a bonus!

Er...Chika, you said you were up for a few missions? Is the offer still on?

[The view seems to plummet down from above before resting somewhere with a pretty good angle of the swimming pool at the recreational center at the park. The next thing you see after that is a raven flying away from the screen, claws clamped onto a magenta-clad man who is struggling as the bird soars higher. His yells are clear; he doesn’t want to be kidnapped, and he glances over his shoulder as if looking for something.

Unfortunately, he just dropped that something.]

Nrgh - release me right now!

[The video seems to go out in white and red, but it suddenly returns as it flashes away. Muffled barks can be heard as this new, bizarre form darts after the crow taking off with the man. The raven seems much too high for normal reach, but a rotted skull rockets into the sky and nails the bird in the head. It caws in shock and swerves suddenly - dropping the man in the process. He lets out a yell that is cut off when he hits the water with a big splash.]

Arf!?

[There’s the white and red form again, running to the edge of the pool and peering into the water. The wolf hovers there, tilting its head and whining when the man doesn’t come back up immediately. It takes a few paces backwards before breaking into a dash and leaping into the water after him.

And of course, at that precise moment, he finally surfaces with a gasp and a couple of coughs. The first thing he sees after wiping his hair from his eyes and wrapping his arms around himself is is the wolf.]

A-A-Amaterasu?

[The wolf stares at him, blinking, but then swims closer and gives him a lick on the cheek. He nearly sinks again, but manages to keep treading water as he sighs and speaks between chattering teeth; after all, it was February.]

I’m...I-I’m all right. Thank you.

[A woof and the large wolf begins nudging him; a simple message to get him swimming towards the edge if he could. He manages a small, grateful grin before turning to swim toward the nearest ladder. It was rather slow work, since his clothes weighed him down, but he finally climbs out, dripping and shivering but otherwise very much alive and not kidnapped.

He roots around in his pockets and glances around, then catches sight of the communicator. Then he hurries toward it - not running, but walking as briskly as he can while wrapping his arms around himself again and leaving wet footprints behind him - and gasps again upon realizing that it had been recording the entire thing. With a scowl, he shuts it off.

OOC: I'm sure you don't need to know which is Ammy and which is Edgey. XD]

[Miles is once again at his desk. A pen and an organizer are within reach; one can tell he has been writing with them before turning on his communicator. The magenta curtains with gold trim and tassels (almost like the ones in his office at home) are partly drawn behind him. Pens are arranged carefully, as are the folders and papers on his other side.

All in all, it's the usual. Except for one thing - the shadow of a picture frame that blocks a corner of the transmission before he moves it. Anyone who has been to Miles' office or at least seen it over the network would know that there are no framed photographs of any sort on his desk.

His tone is crisp, that of someone who seriously means business. Then again, since when did he NOT mean business?]

The Kuzunoha Detective Agency is looking for at least one more guard, a janitor, and a messenger. If you are interested, do let us know. You may either leave a message in my inbox or Near's inbox, reply to this post, or pay us a visit. [He gives quick directions from Shibusen to the Agency, which is in a quieter area of the Shopping District.] Of course, if you wish to apply for a different position, then by all means do so.

[He clears his throat, and careful hands tug at his cravat slightly.]

As we are receiving another batch of newcomers, allow me to introduce myself. My name is Miles Edgeworth, public prosecutor and one of the heads of the Agency. [He inclines his head slightly in greeting.] Near is my co-head, and he is in charge of the city's surveillance system.

The Agency was organized to conduct investigations, gather information, maintain security, and coordinate with the Watch and Shibusen for these purposes. Many of our members have had experience in law enforcement or the legal professions; if you are skilled in such or any related fields, or if you believe you can contribute, we would be glad of your assistance.

[A pause.]

Moving on to other matters, I am still looking for a Weapon - preferably a knife, a sword or a staff. I'm willing to work with any Weapon, in any case. My Meister ability is Soul Talk; I can command and convince others to do my bidding.

[Private to Ahiru and Fakir]

I hope both of you have been practicing.

fonicmelody

[ She was still getting used to using the communicator, but after commenting around for a while, she's comfortable enough to make her own post. She wanted to introduce herself, and offer her assistance and all that. ]

--Oh, it's working. Good.

Ah…Greetings. My name is Sergeant Tear Grants, of the Oracle Knights Intelligence Division. Though I doubt my rank is of much consequence here. I’m one of those that just arrived, so please bear with me while I get used to how things in Death City are run. I'm hoping to be able to do my part soon enough.

Also, I was wondering where I would be able to find more information on this world. I've only been here a short time, but even so, I've noticed a number of glaring differences between this world and my own. It would be prudent to learn of any others, especially whilst fighting a war on foreign soil.

That being said, I would like to make it known that I will do everything in my power to keep the civilians of this place safe from harm. While this world is not my own...it is my duty as a soldier. This situation may be less than ideal. However, I look forward to cooperating with you all to bring this war to an end as quickly as possible.

[ Okay that…covers that, she supposes. Man she is not good at this. Should she say something else? It seemed trivial to ask meaningless things… so…

There's a small pause before: ] That is all. Thank you for your time.

oblivious_klutz

[Because Colette is more worried about her friends now she is in the clinic and someone can look over her ankle, the first thing she does is try to get ahold of Lloyd and her friends.]

Um, Lloyd? I hope you're okay. Fuuka, are you all right? Please let me know if you're okay everyone. Kratos, Zelos, Emil, and Zidane.....

[But of course, she puts on a smile. No need to worry them about her.] I just hope the aftershocks calm down soon and nobody is too badly hurt. I'm okay though. [For the most part. It could have been a lot worse given how klutzy she is at the best of times without the ground shaking beneath her feet. Regardless, others might recognize her surroundings as being the clinic and ask what happened.]

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