[HEY SHIBUSEN, remember when you guys all saw Cross naked with that pretty lady? Well, it's time for another installment of JESUS CHRIST CROSS, PUT SOME DAMN CLOTHES ON. Today, he hasn't actually realized that it's running, Cross is sitting in Ganymede's apartment (as evident by the huge hole in the wall) and his communicator was actually turned on because there's a cat that comes in every morning to eat some food that Cross leaves out for her.

That is to say that he broke out of the clinic a day ago and he's enjoying his free time. Not that it shows anything, but it's quite obvious that Cross is sitting ass naked in an armchair and reading the Origin of Species in the sun whilst smoking a cigarette. It might be because he's going to back to his natural pale gignerness, but who knows.

This episode has been brought to you by the letter N, the color red and Death Sticks.]

My attentions are needed elsewhere, and so I will be relying on you to take charge of our Watch quarter during my absence.

En Taro Adun, Selendis. I have spoken at length with Shibusen in regards to constructing the psi-field generator. The construction has been approved, and I will begin at once.

[He knows that she's not pleased with his offer, but when has Tassadar ever done anything that initially made his people happy? >.>;; ]

While your assistance in this is not necessary, it would be greatly appreciated.

[There's one last thing that he needs to mention, but he's wise enough to wait until she's made her decision. He may have been rash for a protoss, but he wasn't foolish.]

I will be taking a leave of absence from my duties in an effort to aid Shibusen in the defence of this city.

<sub>[as the camera flickers on, Stein's up to something: he's at an angle, the comm propped up against a few books, as he works at what's obviously Spirit's kitchen table. whatever he's working on is hard to see, but there are a few scalpels involved, and there seems to be ink of several different colours on his lab coat. (at least, one hopes it's ink. some of it almost looks too red in some places, and too crusty and brown in others.

but don't concern yourself with such things. do, however, concern yourself with whatever the good doctor is currently saying!]</sub>

Lately there's been a lot of buzz about Christmas on the network. It's not wise to let your guard down, but after all the attacks in the past few months, it's probably a good idea to celebrate, even if you wouldn't at home.

_{[there's a tearing sound and he tosses something over his shoulder, not once looking up at the camera. it lands somewhere with a slight squelch. don't ask.]}

Of course, keep in mind most Death City celebrations end in an attack, if current trends are observed.

_{[here he pauses in his work, staring for a long moment at whatever's on the table; after a moment, he starts to turn the screw in his skull, cocking his head. this goes on for about a minute, before he seems to have a sudden spring of inspiration and the screw makes a loud KLK, and he returns to whatever he's working on.]}

I've noticed that most of our newbies haven't really had a chance to acclimate very well this time around; something about stopping a witch is always time-consuming for everyone in the city. If any of the Guests have any questions, feel free to ask.

_{[another wet tearing noise. what in god's name are you doing, professor? but he seems distracted by stapling back together whatever he's done.]}

I'm one of the teachers of Shibusen. I probably know what I'm talking about.

Good afternoon, Death City~

[Aerith smiles brightly as she addresses the network. She's sitting at home, in her new apartment, looking happier than she has in weeks. Life has been pretty good to her lately.]

For those of you that don't know me, my name is Aerith Gainsborough, and I've recently been given the duty of Liason Officer for Death City's Office of General Security, better known as the Watch. I'm sure most of you have heard of us, but for those of you that haven't, the Watch is a Guest-run organization here in the city that is focused on safety. We run patrols through the various sections of the city, and most of us are also a part of the war effort. In case of a direct attack on Death City, we are also part of the defense force.

If you have any questions about the Watch, how it is run, what it's like to join, or anything really, please come and talk to me. I'd be happy to answer anything you'd like.

If you'd rather just talk to me about other things, that's fine too~ I always like making new friends.

( Filters to: The Watch, Aion, Friends, Cloud, Roy )

[ooc: The friends filter is for anyone that Aerith is on good terms with. If they've spoken and she was pleasant (which should be just about everyone), then you should be on here. Sephiroth and the remnants, as well as anyone she's never met, are excluded.

I will be a little slower than normal with replies here. Feeling ill and tired all the time, but I'll try to keep up ^^]

Ritsuka's birthday is in a few weeks. I'm a bit sad that he won't be here. I would have liked to celebrate for it. Perhaps I will go and buy a gift, just in case he does arrive...

Has anyone else had this sentiment?

[well, the good news is, Asch is feeling almost 100% better from the cold he'd been suffering from the last week. bad news is, he's misplaced his weapon. and by misplaced, Rufus hasn't been home for the past two days. while Asch knows Rufus is a big boy and can take care of himself, it's kind of a little worrying that he would just up and leave, not mention where he was going, and not come back for a couples days. which is why, Death City, you see this text on the network.]

Rufus hasn't come home in the last two days. Has anyone seen him?

I am making a somewhat informal request of Shibusen here and now.

I am asking you to retire Spirit Albarn, immediately.

That is all that I have to say.

[there's a rustle, like paper moving.]

After talking to a few of you, it seems more and more clear that many of us are from worlds that are radically different. Both from this one and from one another. Places that we've never heard of on Earth, at least not in my time, and from what seem to be alternate dimensions of Earth... Even Japan sounds unlike the place I know...

[he half sounds like he's talking to himself at first, before his tone changes, directed more toward his unseen audience.]

I suppose what I've been wondering... is how many different worlds do we have here? How many different Earths? If you're from an Earth country, what was it like there?


[Filtered to the Agency]

Hello everyone. I've had the pleasure of talking to a few of you already, but for those of you who don't know, my name is Choushiro Kirishima. I'm new to Death City, and have recently acquired a job with your Agency. I look forward to working with all of you.

I've tried to filtered this directly to Agency employees, so please let me know if I've sent this to the correct people. [there's a bit of a self-deprecating smile in his voice.] This technology is a bit beyond me I'm afraid.


[Private to You Haibara]
Are you keeping out of trouble?

[a stupid question, but he hasn't heard from him and it makes Choushiro nervous]


[Private to Sakuya Haibara]
Sakuya?

[voyeur_moon]

[Today’s temperatures are 55/37F (13/3C). It's getting colder and colder, but the city's current hot-to-fug ratio should be enough to keep everyone warm and toasty, right?? If not, you can always ask your partner for a kiss...

There's only a few more days until the postponed AC. Use this time wisely, you never know when the servers might die again. Read about the period covered here in case you haven't yet!

And speaking of AC: applications for the upcoming app cycle are due on August 11, 2011. Applications will be processed on August 12-19. But we will be accepting applications for characters who might idle out of the August 6-15 Activity Check until August 19, 2011. This exception is strictly only for characters that will be dropped or will be idled out of the game during the August 6-15 Activity Check.]

[For an energetic ninja, Yuffie isn't looking all that energetic. In fact, when the image clicks on, she's bundled in blankets and only her head is poking out from the cushy mass.]

I hate this! What happened to the warmth? The nice, comfortable weather where a girl can walk around in shorts and not feel like she's going to die a horrible and cold death? That sun just keeps on grinning and I think it's keeping all that heat to itself! We should be planning a counter attack!

[There's some more grumbling and complaining, but it's muffled by the blankets as she fidgets and pulls them into a tighter cocoon.]

I demand heat!

[Never mind, it sounds like she's plenty energetic enough...]

( FILTERED TO RENO )

[Back to squirming and tugging at blankets until she can get an arm free and pull the communicator closer.]

Not... like I'm that worried or anything, but something's been bothering you... Are you okay?

[On the cold Friday morning you may catch a polite greeting from a young detective, making a post from his apartment. He's not injured or sick this time.]

Good morning, Death City.

Given how often Christmas is being mentioned lately, I thought it pertinent to ask about it. Are there traditions involved that people who are not Christians should be aware of and possibly even participate in? I fear my knowledge of the holiday is rather lacking.

[A brief pause.]

Oh, and I believe I should inform everyone I have been in contact with that I will be moving to Death City Heights in the near future.

Whenever you are ready, Alucard-san.

[A small smile, and the video ends there.]

♦ TENTH SPARKLE || 3RD DECEMBER 2009 || VIDEO

[sparklingmanly.livejournal.com]

[This isn’t filtered, but heeeeeey Watch people heeeeey come look here. See this video feed? This one? Yeah, its there, and its showing the Watch Headquarters, as always. Armstrong is here now being all sparkly as usual while beside him is a certain blond knight who most of you might remember rather fondly.]

Greetings. [Formal as always, can’t always hurt.] As most of you are aware by now, the Colonel is currently taking a break from handling the Watch and has given command of operations to me at the moment. Once again, should any of you still have any concerns, please direct them to me instead of the Colonel - I will direct them to him, should they be necessary.

[Anyway, to the point of this post. Armstrong inclines his head here now.] More importantly, today I would like to introduce you properly to Flynn Scifo. Some of you might already know him, but the Colonel has wished for him to participate more actively in the operations of the Watch, and thus he will be undergoing instruction and training so as to incorporate him into the core command of the Watch in time to come. As such, he will be around frequently; that said, I hope that you all can be patient and understanding and learn to work with him well. [Yeah so saying that, he’ll step off for a bit so that Flynn can put in a few words for himself.]

[Flynn takes over, placing a hand over his chest and doing a little half bow before speaking] I’d like to personally thank Roy and Armstrong for this chance... but as I’m still very new here I’d also like to ask you all, not just those on the Watch but all of Death City’s citizens, to teach me while I’m working here. This way I can better serve you all. [He tucks his hands behind his back in military at ease... though he also looks a little pleased with himself regardless of the serious stance, maybe even a little embarrassed by it all.]

[Oh Flynn is done! Stepping back now, all beefy and sparkling again.] Once again, if there is anything about the Watch that requires attention, please direct them to me. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

[Okay the important bit done. Now to the other things...]

[Filtered to the Watch]
In addition to that, Miss Gainsborough - one of the clerks - is now aiding the Watch as a Liaison Officer, so please do give her your support.

[Filtered to Watch Trainers (+Roy)]
One of the medics has requested for some lessons in basic combat. Would anybody be willing to teach him?

[Filtered to Motochika (+Roy)]
The Colonel has instructed me to pass you more orders for customised weapons to be made. [Pause.] Should you be willing to do so, the items are a pair of iron fans and a shield.
