Still never going to get used to not having to get used to this thing.

Okay, so. I think I've got a little more handle on how this city works. Thanks to everybody who helped me get my feet on the ground. I never thought I'd be glad for Metatropolis being weird sh... stuff central, but it makes adjusting go faster.

[He knows this place drags kids here, or at least teenagers. Self-censoring is go.]

Though I've got to say, the coffin and garlic jokes just because I'm used to the night shift wear a little thin. I can't be the only guy here who usually gets up when the sun goes down, can I? Anybody else get that feeling?

[This is his attempt at being subtle about saying "where my Kindred at, yo?" Because he's not used to coming to a new city without actual introductions and contacts and things. As much as he hates his clan's organization sometimes, it makes knowing who's in on things much easier. Not like he can ask normal people where he can get blood at this time of night.]

Oh, by the way. Guess I should introduce myself if anyone cares. I'm Maugris, I'm new here. I know about weird occult or paranormal things, so if you need help with that stuff, let me know - just know that I'm usually asleep during the day.

This is a public services announcement for anybody who attends the Phoenix Free School.

[ Of course, Yuri herself doesn't attend the school, considering that she's already graduated. But she's going to be serious about this, even though there's a huge smile on her face. ]

Don't go into the principal's office unless you want to die. There's a trap set up there and it will only turn off unless you know the password. And even if the trap doesn't kill anybody, it will be quite painful and you might end up in the hospital.

So don't do anything stupid like go in there unless you want me to personally kill you.

[ She's mostly joking, actually. ]

Otonashi-kun, Noda-kun. Are you up to coming back to headquarters? Hinata-kun and I are already here.

Um... I have a question.

I-It's about a friend.

So my friend has a boy she likes. She's liked him for a while. And she told him she liked him on the night of Tanabata. But the boy told her he'd never thought about her like that before, and that he needed some time. Oh, and he also said that he wanted to keep being her friend no matter what.

...Should my friend be happy or sad? He didn't say no, but he didn't really say yes, either. Does that mean maybe? And when he said he needed time, what do you think he meant? Time to think about her like that? Do you think he'll say yes later?

Um...! My friend would really like to know what you all think! I'll be sure to tell her. She's shy, so...

...yeah. Thank you again!

Why can't this city handle its own affairs? Are the people of this city truly so weak that they cannot create their own force to protect them?

I had a mission back in my world that I intend to see through. I don't have time to fight someone else's battle.

shibuyasmusic

[When the video feed comes on, it's from someone's little watch, set up and aimed down at a baby grand piano, with a very clear view of the keyboard. Someone sits before it, and it's a little hard to tell who but they have pale arms and long, thin fingers. The type of person who definitely knew how to play.

After only a moment of hesitation, as the player positions his hands on the keys, he begins to play, a very quick and very upbeat tune, perhaps familiar to those who know classical music well. His fingers are fast, nimble, hitting every key with grace and deliberation. The experience in the player was clear, and the whole piece was over in less than two minutes.

Drawing his hands back, the pianist slides off of the piano bench and grabs the watch, putting it back on his wrist and aiming it at his face. It's Joshua. The one missing his right eye, the one with the black collar. He gives a wry smile at the camera, a business smile more than a genuine one.]

Hello, Hinoto-Ri. My name is Joshua Kiryu, and I'm in need of some work... My most practical skill is piano playing. I know a large library of classical pieces, as well as modern pop, and it takes me only two weeks to memorize new pieces, depending on the difficulty level.

If there are any places that would like to hire me for my entertainment skills... any hotels, inns, bars or clubs... I would appreciate any work I could get. Please, get in contact with me and we can discuss it more.

Otherwise, suggestions for places where I could work, or any critique about my technique, would also be appreciated.

I must admit I'm a little rusty.

a_gentle_boy

[The video flips on and a young boy with golden blonde hair and somber blue eyes blinks slowly into the camera for a few moments. His speech is hesitant and his manner apologetic.]

Hi.

I, um... I think this is working now. Can anyone hear me? ...I'm sorry if I'm not doing this right; I've never used anything like this before. But they said this was how I could communicate with everyone, so... hello.

[He shifts uneasily as he speaks, though he manages a small smile as he introduces himself; his gaze falls now on a point just slightly right of the camera. Technology was not something he was terribly familiar with using - or ever really wanted to be.]

My name is Lucas. And it's very nice to meet all of you. I guess I'm using this now, because I... I'm happy to be here and help, I am, but I don't think I really understand why I'm here. I mean, I do understand about the monsters and the 'demons' and all of that kind of thing, and... of course, I want to help, but what I mean is... I'm not sure I understand why me and why... now. I-I know it's a bit selfish, but I...

I'm very tired.

Do you think I can go home for a little bit before I start here? I promise I'll come back and help; it's just -- you see, the thing is, I sort of needed to see if there was a home to go back to, still, and then this happened, and I really should... check.

[He swallows, and his eyes flicker to his feet as his speech becomes ever more incoherent.]

Um. Sorry, that didn't come out right at all. It's not like that -- I mean, it is, a little bit, but not very; it all should be fine, I just -- Oh!

...I'm sorry. This wasn't how this was supposed to go.

[He blinks hard and brushes briefly at his eyes before reaching to fiddle with the COMP, trying to turn it off. It will take him some time to be successful.]

ex_outofcontrol435

[Video: start. Unimpressed teenager with slicked-back hair and a cranky expression: appear.]

Okay, so either the Professor is pulling a huge fuck you on me for leaving, everyone in this town is sharing some kind of mass delusion, or I actually got kidnapped to a Japanese city in another world to fight monsters.

Someone remind me why I'm believing the third one?

[He rubs at his eyes, then looks a bit more cheerful as he keeps speaking.]

Free room and board just for beating shit up, though. The place I came from could learn from this Philemon guy. All I wanna know is if there's any other mutants around - that's Homo Superior, the evolution beyond humans, not whatever you might call mutants in some other world. As good as this all sounds, I'm not sticking around if demons are my only alternative to humans.

[And he's done.]

((ooc: rather pertinent rewrite after he got the details about the place and actually kind of liked them. facepalm.))

icanhearscreams

I guess I'm new here. This place is really weird. It doesn't make sense.

It's Ushiro, by the way, if any of the others are here.

Hospital food sucks. They told me I needed to get my strength up by eating, but how are you supposed to eat when everything tastes like cardboard?

Also 'combat fatigue' is a stupid sounding diagnosis. It just sounds like you took a nap during a battle.

aurathread

[The video turns on, revealing a very worried looking Tsukasa. He's holding a tiny grey kitten who looks extremely thin. The cat's shaking, too.]

... I know how to take care of kittens, but I don't know anything about medicine. Does anyone know about animal medicine? Or... I guess I can go to a vet here. It's kind of expensive, though.

I haven't seen a lot of animals around anyway. It's weird.

princessofheart

[She had waited a few days to make this announcement, just in case they came back or it turned out to be some sort of fluke, but nothing changed; almost every single one of her friends and family had left the city. And for the sake of those who had come to consider them their friends after all the time they had spent making here their home, Kairi figured she ought to put out a message on the network about the situation.]

For those of you you knew Aqua, Terra, Xion, Sora, or Riku... they've all returned home.

[The redhead could feel a lump catching in her throat, unsure if she could add anything on to that statement without breaking her composure; the sense of denial about the situation was finally crumbling. With a deep breath, her eyes shy away from the camera, giving it a final small nod before she turns off the feed.]

[When the feed clicks on, it reveals Nano standing in front of the Amagi Inn, wearing a yukata and with her hands folded in front of her. There's a sad look in her eyes that she's doing her best to hide, but since she's always been pretty bad at that sort of thing, it's probably pretty evident that she'd been crying before making this broadcast. She sniffles for a moment, rubs her eyes, and takes a deep breath to compose herself before beginning to speak.]

Hello, everyone. My name is Nano Shinonome.

[She bows politely to the camera before continuing.]

For those of you who knew her, Yukiko Amagi-san has returned home. [She gestures behind her.] Her family's business, the Amagi Inn, is still here in the Scorpio District. Yukiko-san left a note here that said if she were to leave Hinoto-Ri, she would like me and her friend Kanji Tatsumi-san to take care of it in her place. I want to do my best for Yukiko-san, since she's one of the closest friends I've had since coming here myself, but most of the inn's staff except for the Pyro Jacks that heat the water are gone too, and with school starting again next month, I'm not sure I'll have enough time to do the thorough job this inn deserves.

[There is a small sigh as Nano closes her eyes, pausing to compose herself again. She wants to come off professionally.]

So because of this, I'd like to interview some people for positions working at the inn. I'm going to work here myself on some evenings and on the weekends, but since my own house is in the city too, I won't be able to be here all the time. If anyone is interested in working at the inn, please contact me and we can talk about it more privately.

I think we'll need some people to work at the front desk greeting guests, people to clean the rooms, and a small staff to work in the kitchen preparing meals. There are some rooms for the employees to stay in if anyone would like to move in for convenience's sake, and the hot spring out back is open too for when you're not working a shift. I'd like to get some people quickly so the inn doesn't have to close while we wait to fill the positions, so if you're interested, please reply as soon as possible.

[Another deep breath, a smile, and one last polite bow.]

Thank you very much!

deathboss

[Goooooood morning Hinoto-Ri! There's a camera pointing at Eikichi right now as he's sleeping in bed and...wait is that Eikichi it's hard to tell, he doesn't have his makeup on.

Sure is a lot of hair too...

Whatever, he's in that semi-lucid part of waking up when you're still not sure what's happening and he notices Miyabi is sleeping besides him and falls from the side instead.

~Classy~]

Owww. Didn't know you were here, Babe, sorry!

[Sorry I slipped off of bed?

However you, dear viewers, might notice something else is off (and we don't mean the fact he's in his blue underwear), and see what happens at least until the feed cuts off.]

electricyousei

"Hello. This is Hoshino Ruri. I was wondering two thing. Firstly have any of you ever made a model kit? I had one requested of me and while I had several crew members who built them in the past, they are all at home so I can't ask for help with them."

"Oh yes, also if any of you are good at sewing things, and discreet, I need some assistance with a project. For me. Nothing too complicated just I don't know how to sew."

She looks around and lets a breath out, still looking deadpan, but with a slightly more annoyed tone in her voice.

"Also, something of mine has gone missing. A passport from the nation of Peaceland. If you see it could you please get it for me? Something worthless here, but it is one of my few ties to my biological family, even if I hardly know them."

((ooc: The faeries have stolen Ruri's passport and she's looking for it, hopefully before people read it.))

demifemme

As soon as the fairies found out that the COMP could be moved by them while using the video function to film somebody else, the pranking began.

[WARNING: Shower videos. Full monty from Gale.]

prototype_blues

[Now those who know Blues, which probably isn't a lot of people, will find this post to be really really strange. More or less because he thinks he posted it under the guise of anon and well.

them tricksy pixies went and fixed that. So while he is very sure this was posted as anon? It ain't.]

So.

Say you have a machine, it's from your world but it has a flaw. One that you can't actually fix yourself because well. You can't.

It wouldn't go well if you tried, but getting someone else to repair it is a bit tricky. Because you don't want it to be changed too much, but you want it to be working properly. And there is the fact that you don't know any of the people who could fix it nor how good they are at what they do.

[wow, so rambly there get to the pooooooooooooint.]

I guess what I'm saying here is this; who here is good with machines?
