[long time no see, Death City. England's been scarce on the network lately. but he doesn't really like the network. he pays attention to it, but kind of hates replying and leaving messages, unless he absolutely must reach someone. excuses, excuses!

anyway, he's just gotten off work and when he turns on the video it is late. but wait. this doesn't look like his apartment]

Good morning. I'd just like to tell everyone that I am now living with miss Yoko. [and speaking of Yoko, she is there behind him, waving to the camera. did she just wake up? wait up for him? who knows!] So, for those of you who want to reach me, I'll be in Death City Heights, first floor, flat A.

[he won't admit how lonely he is. with America and France gone, things are looking pretty grim. how many of the countries are left?] ...I suppose that is all. I do hope everyone is making a speedy recovery. It looks as though we'll be having even rougher times ahead of us. [a sigh, and then he turns off the feed]

Newspaper stories are kind of depressing, aren't they?

Death City Times

NEW YORK STATE OF ALERT LIFTED

New York announced early this morning that the city has now eliminated the last of the kishin eggs that had swarmed it late last Nov 16. The state of emergency, which was installed before the attack, will be lifted later after an inspection of the city defenses.

Casualty rates climb up to 600 dead, 2000 injured, and another 200 residents still missing. Shibusen bases from Australia and Japan have sent in their technicians and doctors to assist in the clean-up.]

[This particular recording arrives from a different place than usual - Vergil's seated in what appears to be a makeshift office of some kind. His eyes are angled slightly downwards, as if he's reading from something.]

Those of you who I haven't spoken with before: I'm Vergil Sparda, one of the two Zone Leaders of the Shopping District within the Watch and the Meister of Katakura Koujurou. [He clears his throat. Public speaking is... not exactly his forte.]

For the past month I've been establishing plans and setting in motion the preparation for a new institute within Death City. With the recent invasion having concluded- [-having interrupted his intended launch-] -I feel that it is time to finally announce its foundation.

[He takes up and turns his communicator around to display the location he's currently in. The office he's currently residing within overlooks what appears to be a refurnished warehouse, that now contains a fighting ring, stands, and a large training area along with accompanying facilities.]

As of now I'm launching the DCFC, which doubles as both the Death City Fight Club and Fighting Championship. [Panning back to Vergil.] The primary purpose of the DCFC is to establish an environment where fighters can test and refine their abilities in a simulation as close to real combat as possible. By bringing many combatants from different backgrounds into one place, another objective is to pursue mutual advancement amongst all participate, and expose all of us to as many facets of fighting as possible. 

The time and resources of this organization will be divided into two areas. There will be dedicated training times during the afternoons and evenings that are also open to the public. For the weekends, however, there will be a planned bouts between members, which will be a fully publicized event. [He smirks very faintly.] All fighters paid, of course.

It will take time for the Fighting Championship to be fully prepared given the need to advertise it to the rest of the city and build interest, but I expect it to be ready to launch in between one to two weeks.

If you're interested, inquire here- [A link to the DCFC Home Inbox appears on-screen.] If you have further questions, you can reply to this announcement and I'll be in touch shortly.

[He pulls a new piece of paper in front of him before continuing.] If there are members of Clinic staff who are available to offer their services, please do let me know since medical assistance will no doubt be required.

[And then time for filters.]

[He inclines his head slightly.] Thank you for your assistance with setting this up.

You up for this? I could use a hand or two.
