[ih8spiders]

What does it feel like, arriving here and seeing your friends?

... Or alternatively, seeing your friends arriving here? The more selfless reaction would be to feel dismay that people you care about are getting stuck here along with you, but...

[Someone's gotten ridiculously, abruptly homesick because of the recent newbie posts and all the reunions he's seen and tried very hard not to eavesdrop on.]

... I think I'm starting to forget... [Kurapika trails off, but people who know him, or those listening closely might be able to tell that he's pining. Pining for his friends, maybe. Or pining for life pre-Death City. He's been here for five months. He didn't think that five months can feel like forever.]

01 new start [video]

[The feed switches on, showing a corridor in Casualty Communal and a young man with dark skin and silvery-white hair. As if to top his foreign looks off he sports three additional small eyes that are set in form of a downward triangle on his forehead and has a set of dark, forward-curved horns and long, furry ears.]

Hi everybody~ Or should I say ‚howdy‘?

My name is Aion, I’m more or less from that funny place that some of you might know ‘America’ and, let’s be upfront about it since I won’t be able to hide it anyway, I’m a demon and a Sinner. …the latter means that pretty much all other demons want to see me dead because I broke the rules of Pandemonium. [Aion chuckles, sounding somewhat awkward but not at all guilty about it.] The last I remember it was the year 1870 and apparently I am now what is considered to be a weapon here, which means that I’ll have to find a meister in order to experience some good things, or so I’ve been told~. So- [From off screen there's a loud gasp.]

A-Aion? [Whoosh! A blur of cat ears and labcoat suddenly rushes onto the screen with a squeal and tackles Aion.] You'rehere!IheardtherewasaSinnerherebutIwasn'treallysureandIthoughtImightbealonebutyou'rereallyreallyhere!

I-Shader? [ The camera tilts to the side as Aion finds himself the sudden victim of a demonic-mad professor mckittycat-hug that leaves little space for breathing lest waving around a handheld communicator and looking good while doing it. The formerly oh so suave tone of Aion’s voice turns into one of blank surprise mixed with confusion that quickly changes into one of relieved happiness.] Shader, it’s you! You don’t know relieved I am to see you here! They mentioned there being other demons, but- Did you just come out of that room?

Eh? [She glances behind her and points to the door.] Yeah, room E? That's mine! [pause] Wait, is that room yours?

[Aion sweatdrops, feeling torn between giving her a friendly ‘welcome home ‘ ruffle of her head and lightly whacking it for blurting their rooming place out to the whole network.] Yeah. I was just about to make my presence known and start looking for you guys as well ask a bit more about how this place is run, but I guess we can forget about that for now. [Still caught in her hug, he pokes her with the communicator, causing the camera to move wildly in the process.] It’s still running, sister…

O-oh! Oops. [Shader reaches out toward the device and apparently shuts it off, because the feed ends.]

((ooc: Guess who just found out that they live three rooms across the corridor? xD Purple is Aion talking and lime is Shader! Any tags will be replied to from the same living room with a little delay since greeting your sibling > playing with human technology. Both will be replying (beware of them threadhopping/-jacking each other for it will happen! o/). ))

[Oh looks it's Masaru, or as you newbies know him 'that guy that runs into walls on the internet'. Today's post is much less violent, and in fact he has a large bandage wrap on his head.]

Mission's coming up, everyone better be really pumped for this, alright? I KNOW we'll do great, cuz I found a lucky omen today~

[He reaches down under the living room coffee table and brings out... a rice cooker. Or what might have once BEEN a rice cooker, if it wasn't so horribly melted]

I found my rice cooker! I thought all my stuff vanished when I went home, but it's still here! Heh, it even still works! [He plugs it in, there are sparks]

See, we're like this thing. No matter how much you get beaten on, lost, or set on fire you just gotta keep bouncing back! [Looks like all those pep talks from various people have finally sunk in.]

[he blinks, then points to his head] And don't worry about this, I've been getting concussions since I was like, 6, this is nothing. Just a little cracked screen...

Oh yeah that reminds me, when we get back you and me are trying out this resonation thing Tavros, so don't go vanishing again while I'm not here to watch you, alright?

Anyways, I'm gonna try this thing out, make some egg curry... think I should bring some to the office for everyone Boss? A man can't truly fight on an empty stomach!

[Someone is clearly extremely irritable right now. Mitsunari is scowling at the screen and fanning himself lightly using the small, white fan he has grasped in his free hand.]

My meister, Sima Yi, has left this place. I suppose this means I should start looking for a partner again. I am a Tessen, otherwise known as an iron folding fan, but the one thing I discovered during my exceptionally brief partnership was the fact that one who resonates with me gains the knowledge of how to fight with a Tessen. So experience with such a weapon is not particularly necessary.

[He snorts.]

Whatever. This means I can focus on my job, in the meantime.

[Which is "clearly" something he is happy to do. Easy as he finds his job as a Teller there is no challenge to it, and he's beginning to find that hard to deal with. Guess who, for the first time in years, is going to sleep at normal times and not staying up late? Back home there was always something that needed doing. Here, not so much.]

I see no allies amongst the newcomers. Well. I am Ishida Mitsunari, one of two in this city. Neither of us is an imposter, we simply come from different versions of Japan. Don't bother to sit there and question how it's possible. It simply is.

002 ⊗ [Voice] Early Morning Before SEES Tour

[pishirogane]

[Naoto's having a small dilemma... or epiphany... well, she's just having a problem]

... I haven't started working yet so I've been left with some... free time outside of training and school. Does anyone have a few book recommendations? I'm not sure... what to do... [Maybe after the tour, but she still doesn't know what is exactly 'fun'... Hush, she's learning.]

November 26, 2009 - Friday

[voyeur_moon]

[The big Arizona mission is today. The moon definitely knows that something's up--it's bleeding viscous red blood from between gigantic teeth, like it's suffering from a particularly horrifying case of gingivitis, but that huge smile is totally out of place on a face that you'd think should be in pain.

Where and what might be the cause of that bleeding, then, if not astronomical gingivitis? That's a question for another day, unfortunately, since everyone staying behind will have things to occupy them while waiting for the mission-goers to come back. Signup for SEES-sponsored activities is still open! Use this handy-dandy compilation of event links for easier navigation.

Also, have you submitted your proofs for June AC?

This day change will last a week to give people more time to tag into both events.

Today's temperatures are 70/43F (21/6C).]

[A woman dressed in red lingerie (and just red lingerie) bows deeply.]

I apologize for having to ask such an embarrassing question so late into the night, but can someone lend me something to wear? It's only for a short while. I just need to buy some clothes for myself and I realize that I can't exactly go clothes shopping dressed like this. [She smiles. She's pretty used to not wearing much but she'd prefer it if she were fully clothed. She'd be wearing a jacket over a long dress if she had a choice.]

But I have yet to introduce myself. [another bow] Good evening, Death City. My name is Karen Kasumi. I won't tell you my age but it is pretty obvious that I'm not that young. [she covers her mouth as she laughs] I come from Tokyo, Japan, in the year 1999 and I've been told that I'm a Meister. I've had a lot of strange experiences but I don't have any experience in handling weapons, especially humans that turn into Weapons. But I'll try my best to make the resonation process as pleasurable as possible for anyone who would like to try it out with me.

Thank you for having me and I look forward to working with you, Death City.

[Another bow, because that's what polite Japanese people do, even if it exposes more parts than what should be shown to the general public. That's why she posted at night... to keep herself away from the eyes of innocent children.]

005 [voice] ; Morning of November 26th

[kerorogunsou.livejournal.com]

Does anyone know where Eve-dono went? We were supposed to go to DeathDonald's for breakfast, but she isn't answering the door, de arimasu.

[Knocks]

Eve-dono? Are you there, de arimasu?

(OOC: Eve has been sent home, but will be back on the 28th as a Meister. Just so you know.)
