[As the video turns on, a youth that some might know stares solemnly at the screen. His tone is calm and collected as he speaks, the seriousness of an adult rather than the play-acting of a child.]

Greetings to you all. I am Naoto Shirogane, Weapon to Raidou Kuzunoha, and a detective at the Kuzunoha Detective Agency and Yorozuya, which I will henceforth refer to as 'the Agency'.

To those of you who have recently arrived in Death City I offer you both salutations and an explanation for the information I am about to impart to everyone regarding the current status of one Jonathan Crane.

A brief account of recent events is listed in the text portion below:

( Cut for Text Explaining Crane and His Atrocities )

Crane, as you might already be aware, was caught via the offensive action and personal risk of several Guests; he has since been brought to the Agency. Unfortunately, the facilities within Shibusen that were suited to humans were destroyed in Adachi's attack and have yet to be satisfactorily repaired. In the meantime, Crane will remain in the Agency's custody. His ability as a Weapon has been temporarily sealed by Professor Stein's abilities and he has been rendered harmless.

Visitations for questioning Crane may be arranged here, however, Shibusen faculty and staff not only have priority in obtaining access to the prisoner, but may also deny those they feel untrustworthy or too incompetent to interrogate Crane. As Shibusen is the ruling government in Death City, Raidou, myself, and those others associated with the Agency will bow to their wishes regarding wayward Meisters and Weapons. This is, after all, their life and expertise.

Thank you.

[Oh? It's cloudy today! What do you guys see in the clouds?]

[Today's temperatures are 97/89F (36.1/31.6C)]

Who has more information on this stupid war and on how to get stronger? Some of us have more important things to do than spend time hanging around here, so the sooner we get this over with the better.

And is there anyone else besides that Maka person who can tell me what the hell I'm supposed to be?

[Straight to the point and obviously impatient. He practically just left that message for Maka.]

[ This video feed comes on to France's beautiful face, looking pretty laid back about this and that's just because he's biding it all on his own. Regardless of what they said when he arrived, he's still a country and even the smallest doubt isn't for the general public to see. A war at America's place in Nevada of all places sounds très bien ridicule to him anyway. He brushes back his hair and smiles at the camera ]

This is all well and good, but I heard there may be some faces that I recognize here? And évidemment, plenty of new ones as well.

S'il vous plaît, don't be shy! Say hello to big brother France, and he'll take very good care of you! Whatever lonely, sad, and cold emptiness you've been feeling in your life here in Ville de la Morte will be quickly reverse itself in my presence. Je vous promets~ ♥

Is thing on? Heeelllooooo~? [Norma pushes a bunch of random buttons but she isn't sure if it is working properly.] It would be better if I could kick it or something, that always works. So...time to introduce myself! The name is Norma Beatty and I say we should play a game! Why? Because it would make things so much easier to introduce yourself to me!

How do we play this game you ask? It's really simple! One person says a word and the next person must say another word but the first letter must begin with whatever the last letter was.

Okay, that was confusing. Like...for example, if person one says "Gold" the next person must say something that begins with the letter D. It could be anything ranging from Dog or Desk or...something. You get the idea. But to make it a challenge, the words must be a noun! I know, I know...what shall you ever do? Hehe, don't worry, I'll go easy on you guys~

I'll start and I say Straw!

Y'know for a place called Death City, I'm surprised there ain't more video games that're death-themed.

I did find a shirt that said "I left my soul in Death City" though, that was kinda funny.

[ there's a soft hum, and a thoughtful voice in the network, something old and something new, perhaps. though the voice doesn't seem concerned about their situation, it does sound a little weary. of course they are- another war, and in unfamiliar ground, that's never really pleasant, is it. ]

Well, damn. [ - is really all they have to say in this situation. ] What a bummer. And I was really looking forward to getting a very, very early retirement.

[ a beat. ] Cute place. For city of Death, that is.



[ ooc: tags will be a bit very delayed, idk that plan has been thrown out the window apparently. and hi. ]

{四; video}

[queensharbour.livejournal.com]

[The camera flickers on and is facing the ceiling, just after a rather feminine looking hand picks up something indistinguishable next to the DEMISE device. While the two nations are off screen, it's possible to make out their voices and several disgruntled noises.]

Stop moving, you're only going to make it worse!

Be gentler or this isn't going to work. [Some shifting is heard in the background and a grunt of pain follows.]

Don't worry, I'm sure the pain will subside after a while.[There might be some noises as though she took something from the table] Now hold still!

How long is a while- [Interrupted by a sharp hiss.] Mei! Careful.

Sorry! [A pause] I know this it your first time but I promise you, that after a couple of times, it will be like it was nothing!

You do this on a regular basis? [His voice is a little strained, and his breathing a little uneven, before he paused.] ... We're going to do this again?

Yes, but I'm use to it so it isn't quite as bad. [She seems a little uneasy.] Are you sure you want to continue? I don't want to hurt you even more.

Just... keep going. [And he sounds stubborn.] I can bear it.

[There's relative silence for a couple moments, before a pained groan is heard as well as a quiet 'oops' and a hand reaches over to shut the video off.]

[twentieth] great entry for you to watch; aug 13

[seizeyoursouls.livejournal.com]

[the camera feed turns on zoomed into PRUSSIA'S BEAUTIFUL FACE with a shaymin on his head. He's extremely peppy today!]

Oi, oi. This week has been one thing after another! For one, I found little Blümchen and have it under my care for the time being! As you can see, it is content on resting on my wonderfully shaped head! [Zoom in to the creature for a moment, staring at the communicatior and sniffing it.] For another, I've finally managed to make it from 2 pushups to 215 pushups in fifteen minutes. It's a bit slow, but I'm getting there! YOU HEAR THAT CITIZEN?! I'M GONNA WIN THIS BET, KESESE. Another thing!

[There's a bit of a gentle but energetic smile here]

Fritz! Ol' Fritz! He's really here! He's really here...I saw him last night so it wasn't just a really cruel dream. It's been so long since I last saw him, ya know. Old man's just like me, I guess! He just can't ever stay down. I'll have to introduce him to West! And my beloved citizens! And that angry girl with the wrench! And my partner...

[The camera moves a few angles over. Now you can see Prussia with his metal arm lying across England's shoulders, grinning.]

I also punched a guy! Right?

[England is quiet, allowing Prussia's heavy arm to drape across his shoulders. For now] I told you. I don't remember.

Well, I do! He went flying, let me tell you. Damn bastard deserved it anyway, kesese!

.......... [nothing but silence from England. Yeah, he feels like a failure again. Though, for the record, he hasn't minded his stay at the clinic. Being close to his partner as well as Watson is helpful]

I bet I knocked out a couple of teeth...I'd have kept them as a souvenir...oi, oi. [Pokes him in the cheek] You feeling better at all?

[piku! he clears his throat and sits up straight, remembering that they are on camera] O-oh. Yes, I am. [from Prussia, to the camera] Thanks to everyone who helped with the patrolling. You all probably know that Crane has been arrested. Your help is very much appreciated. [a small, strained smile]

[pulls on his cheek a bit, grinning] Yeah, you guys are awesome! You guys stopped that criminal!

[ow ow ow ow what are you doing. he grabs Prussia's cheek and pulls, too] Y-yes. Certainly. All thanks to your help.

[Owowowow, drops the camera as he tries to grab the other cheek of England] Yeah, thanks a lot, hnngh...ow, damnit, that h...ow ow ow...KESESE....

[they are no longer in view anymore, but you can still hear them struggling, trying to outdo the other] H-Hahahaha! Let go!

NEEEEVER. I WIN EVERYTHING! HNGRAH!

[the fighting continues on for a while...]

zero five [voice/video]

[awesomeboots.livejournal.com]

[Initially the feed is just audio and seems to have been turned on by accident as the first thing you hear is a loud and repeated bang and a loud yelp as the banging stops. Then:] OW.

[A pause.]

Oh, hey, it... actually worked! ...Now what...?

[Then there's the sound of something whacking itself against the comm until finally it switches over to video. There's a strange object on the screen that looks like this. Lenalee's rather disgruntled voice is coming from it.]

Can anyone tell me how to turn back into a human, please? I seem to be stuck.

001; Voice

[nenstitches.livejournal.com]

[the feed clicks on, but there's a moment or two before the person speaking actually says anything. She's making sure the communicator is actually on and working before speaking, since hey, this thing was pretty different compared to the phones and such that she was used to using. She didn't want to have to repeat herself because she assumed the communicator was on when it actually wasn't, after all.]

So. This 'Death City' really is an actual city, not a part of that game, I take it. Assuming anyone gets this message, I require information. That welcoming committee didn't give information as detailed as I would have liked.

[003] nightmares {voice}

[yumekui-kenbun.livejournal.com]

I don't suppose it would be worthwhile making a list, of who is here, and whether they are a Meister or Weapon? It would be beneficial, but with BREW constantly bringing in more, it would need regular updates as such.

I suppose I should also extend a welcome to all the new arrivals. My name is Chi - Hiruko. Beyond perhaps being of some assistance once I do transform to a Weapon, I can also offer help to those with nightmares. Not as much as I could have previously, but as I was a baku, I suppose I could still help with dream interpretation if it is needed.

That aside, a question, for the Shibusen faculty staff. Is it possible, for some of us to perhaps stay? Or will we all be sent back home after this war is over?

[hawkeyed-crow.livejournal.com]

[ This is going to be short. ]

My name is Howard Link, and I don’t intend to fight in this war while in my own world, a war is keeping me busy enough. However, if one wishes to employ my services from time to time—with proper payment—I may oblige.

[ He decides to give his hunch a try. ]

Walker, if you’re there and can see this message—

We need to talk. As soon as possible. Disappearing like in an untimely fashion—are you trying to make my job difficult?

[ Transmission ends. ]


[ooc: Late start. I was too busy playing with my new comp...]

Hey, are there any haunted houses in Death City? Ancient graveyards? Or maybe some mysterious cave outside the city? Because tonight is gonna be a great night to go ghost hunting!

I need a favor, old man. It'll get Xanxus off your back for a while.

[Private to Watson]

...so, doc. I think I might be in dire need of your services very soon. Are you up to it?

[Private to Yamamoto]

VOOOII, I'm doing something fucking stupid and you're making sure I don't die.

[hey Death City did you miss this handsome face on the network, of course you did. Cuba seems to be in very good spirits today, grinning broadly at the camera as soon as it clicks on]

Haha, it's finally here! Today's the birthday of a very important boss 'a mine, onea the best I've ever had.

So I'm gonna be throwin' a little celebration in my room, you're all welcome to drop by for some free food. Or booze. Cause I've got the good fuckin' stuff out for this, ain't anything cheap up here today.

Certain assholes who know who there are and will not be named are banned automatically, and don't think just cause it's a party I won't smash you up.

[he reaches over and thumbs the off button, clearly assuming it's already off as his face and tone become more troubled]

Ey, Fidel...you and your hermano better not be doin' anything stupid. Can't take much more fuss.


[ooc; action logs are fine if you want to drop by Cuba's little party. or complain about the obnoxious ethnic music he's blasting. :D]
