Death City Times

LIECHTENSTEIN LOST FOREVER?

This morning brought an end to the uneasy and momentary holiday peace in Europe as enemy forces once again attacked a Shibusen base, resulting in a possible permanent loss of Liechtenstein. Like the previous encounters with these threats termed as Black Clowns, the target of the attack was the base of Shibusen, which was unfortunately located in the small city of Liechtenstein.

Reports of the attack began this morning at 4:14AM and ended at 4:45AM. The city is currently engulfed in a black ball of madness and all attempts by Shibusen to recover the victims have not been successful. The attack reportedly happened so fast that assistance that came in via mirror were immediately sucked into the black ball.

Liechtenstein began heavy evacuation following the events of the European attacks last December 20, 2009. The two thousand civilians, military personnel, and Shibusen agents that remained in the city after the evacuation have all been listed as missing, though European Union officials fear that they are all dead and have been lost into the black ball. The Liechtenstein royal family members have been listed as part of the casualty.

There are no known methods to removing the black ball and all locations affected have been quarantined by Shibusen and the EU for safety. Shibusen Europe predicts a drastic rise in the kishin egg number in the area and has coordinated with other Shibusen branches for assistance.

[As a reminder, Beta-reading guidelines are now available! The Watch is looking for some people, too. If you're wondering where AC is, it's going to be delayed a few days! Also, it's busy with classes starting back up and a new category of missions available!

GEEZ, THERE REALLY IS NO TIME LEFT TO WATCH MY FAVORITE TV SHOW...

Temperatures for today will be 45/35F (7C/2C).

[WELLP. It's probably almost 1 am. The video feed starts when the communicator is smashed against the wall. Actually, it wasn't Stripp's intention to throw it, but she didn't even notice. What you see next is basically a pretty pissed Stripperella. Why? The mission she took on the 4th failed. And now she is home, all bandaged up, and she is unloading her woman/ex-super-hero/ex-secret-agent rage on her things. Yup, she is not used to fail AT ALL.

Stripp grabs the nearest chair and basically throws it around the room, smashing it against the wall. After doing that, she starts kicking her bed, kicking each time she says a word] I. don't. lose. to. kishin. EGGS!!! WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?!!?! [the last kick was delivered to the nightstand, breaking the lamp. After, she grabs a pillow and buries her face in it, screaming into it]

[and finally she seems to calm down a bit. Except not. Stripp raises her head when she remembers her failure again and throws the pillow to the floor and stomps on it after] DAMN YOU!! [the woman quickly turns, looking for her communicator, and once she notices it, she grabs it and walks out of the room. Though she didn't even look at it, eventually the feed dies]


[ooc: Stripp will be running and jogging through the Death City to relax. Yes, in the cold. Yes, in the night. If you want to meet her go ahead. If not, all replies will be coming AFTER she relaxed. And no work for Stripp the next days because of her injuries]

[It's Minato. He looks plainly at the camera as he walks down one of Death City's many cobblestone streets.]

If you're looking for him, Junpei Iori went home again. With the current situation, I'm sure many of you would like to return to your worlds also. Actually... it seems like many people have...

[There's a short pause... He's unlocking a storefront. The view briefly swings upwards as he kneels down to reveal the Awesome Arcade of Awesome (Triple A) signage.]

If any of you were relying on him for something, I'll help you instead. I'm not really sure what he did here this time...

[A grunt of exertion. The metal rafters slide upward.]

So if you knew Junpei... I'd like to speak with you.

Thank you for your time.

[He bows politely and the public feed ends there.]

[FILTER: Triple A Staff]

Hi, I'm Minato Arisato. I started the arcade with a different Junpei several months ago... It looks like I'll be your employer now.

... Do we have a list of who works here?

[FILTER: Fuuka, Yukari, Shinjiro, Minako, & Naoto]

[He's got that game face on now.] I need a team.

[All that appears on screen is an empty room. Clean, unused, empty.]

Kasu— [Yuffie's voice cracks from behind the video feed, out of sight, and she coughs to cover it up.] Kasuga's stuff is gone... Um... [And as much as she loves the sound of her own voice, Yuffie leaves it at that and shuts off the feed just as it starts to turn back toward her.]
