[The audio switches on briefly, to catch a muttered...]

--n't even know what the hell this thi--

[Audio and video switch on, suddenly. Curling smoke mists the feed for a moment-- then the face of a man appears, half obscured with a brush of white hair.

And then he blinks.

Curiously.


For a while.]


Hn. I could just be talking to myself-- but I was led to believe this is a communication device of some kind. [a long pause] I think I just signed on for a war.

I have--- a lot of questions. Is anyone there?

[There are several false starts as the video flickers on and off, a blond-haired man can be seen with a fierce expression on his features as he tries to figure out the device. The voice function is activated numerous times as well and is temporarily filled with angry grumbles that are often partial yells. Finally, the video snaps back on again, and the young man's words can be heard shouting.]

-this stupid thing! ARE YOU ON NOW? Yes? Alright. Good.

[He glares into the camera on the PDA.]

I am Switzerland. [A slight pause. Then, loudly: ] I DEMAND THAT YOU RETURN ME TO MY HOME IMMEDIATELY! And where is Liechtenstein!? She was with me just a few hours ago. I DEMAND THAT SHE BE RETURNED UNHARMED! DO YOU HEAR ME?

Is this thing really functioning? It's America's work, isn't it? He hasn't been good at these sort of things since he started sending all of his production to China.

[Switzerland is still fiddling with the device when something startles him. What, precisely it is, we may never know. Perhaps it was a errant Shadow, a person walking just out of view in the fog, or even a animal seeking to escape the rain. Really, the only reason that Switzerland's sudden look of surprise is notable is that it is immediately accompanied by a cry, the sharp and distinct crack of a powerful gun, and the sudden drop of the PDA's view as it clatters to the ground beside a Weapon now shouting his protest of such treatment and demanding once again to go home (but not without Lichtenstein.)

Thus enters Switzerland. Perhaps the quickest among the new arrivals to acquire the use of his Weapon form. In this it seems, his natural paranoia concerning others has served him well.]

((He's outside the Casualty Commons. Anyone within the building might have heard his Weapon form go off.))

[you see a very concerned man appearing on screen. The image flickers for a second when he presses the wrong button, but it comes back to life soon enough]

[you hear him muttering to himself] The ritual must have gone wrong...hopefully I'm the only one- [and oh he caught glimpse of the blinking red light. If he remembers correctly that means that-]

Hello? Can anyone hear me? Your majesty? Your highness? Gwendal? Wolfram? Are any of you out there?

[unsure if his attempt had worked, he clicks another button, and the feed ends]

[There's static and the sound of buttons being pressed, even after the video and audio recording had been activated. A mildly puzzled Hong Kong stares down at the screen, not too sure what to make of the device placed in front of him.]

A miniature typewriter? Or a television broadcast.

[He pressed a few more buttons.]

I've been told I'm to fight witches here. Maybe this is Mister Kirkland's idea? He's the only one who can see witches and ghosts. We might end up fighting the gnomes and fairies too.

[He pauses, glances around himself and squints.]

I may need a little help seeing them, if I'm going to fight in this war.

[The feed opens with the sound of things being roughly moved around and some frustrated muttering - then again, this is Squalo, his 'muttering' is normal volume for most people.]

---years. It's been hardly a day, and he's already making me want a fucking smoke. That's gotta be some sort of record.

[Finally addressing the actual PDA, the rummaging of stuff in the background doesn't stop though.]

VOOOII, anyone knows if that damn fog is leaving any time soon? There's shit I need to get outside.

[More mumbling.]

...I need a fucking nicotine patch.






ooc: ...about ten to five minutes after this post, anyone still in the Communal hears a screech of outrage. You know a loud one. The sort that makes the ceiling shake and people fear for their lives.

You may forward your appreciation to Xanxus.

[When the transmission first turns on, no one says anything. It's because he's yawning. Then--]

Ah, that was easier to find than I imagined.

[A pause.]

My cats are gone...

[ooc note: since shibusen was like EVERYONE OUT he's wandering around near the casualty communal. sleepily. looking for his cats. feel free to stop him.]

[filter. zenjirou kasai. voice. also, somewhat grumpy, but that's nothing new.]

... I owe you a couple of drinks, I suppose. Never let it be said that I wasn't fucking charitable to anyone.


[addressed to everyone. text.]

First fog, now rain. Anything new out there? I refuse to believe this rain is normal, given previous circumstances.

[Tapping can be heard and for a second a whirring sound where the device is being shaken. You can hear the mumbling of a male English-sounding-yet-French voice, and it sure sounds disgruntled.]

What is this blasted contraption and why won’t it work?

[More tapping can be heard.]

This isn’t the castle at all! And I need to get back home, your fatuous war or not. The master will have my head if I don’t find my way back soon, not to mention the staff will have destroyed the place without me to direct them! Oh bother…

[And the video turns on! A chubby moustached face looks to the screen, his clothing and hairstyle obviously rural and to those who know it: French.

Realization that it might be working dawns on him and his attitude changes to a more pompous and graced sort… But you can’t mistake the annoyance.]


…Oh, is it working? This must be the same magic used on those upon my awakening. Well then, if people are listening like the last were talking, then I must insist on answers at once!

Well at least the Shadows seem to be gone now, but this is obviously far from over.

For now though it seems the best we try to recuperate from all this. Um. I know a lot of people went out, so if you guys could check in just so we all know you are okay? That'd be really nice. Naoto?

Seems like we also got quite a huge group of newcomers this time around. BREW really has no sense of convenience, does it? If any of you newcomers need help please check this out. If you have any questions let me know.

Lavi, Basil, Kurapika. Obviously we'll have to put off making that directory for a later time when things aren't so crazy. If it's not one thing, it's another here.

As for the medical training program I think I got a list of all the names thanks to Raenef, but like everything else it will have to be put to the wayside for now.

Filtered to Investigation Team. Yes. That means you Naoto 8|

What do you guys think? The fog is mostly lifted but...

End Filter

((edit: for some reason Im not getting notifs of tags on this entry--and just this entry uhhh. Everything looks fine in my account. Just letting you guys know I'll be a little slow about getting back to you, but I will answer! ^^))

Rise~ Rise, Rise, I have the list for you! For the medical programme.

There was Mister John Watson, Aeris and Heather. Heather would be a student and the other two would be teachers.

I think they were the only ones that responded. Anyone else?

Oh, and China said he wanted to help too! And Arashi Kishuu and Taiwan.
