So...this is how sleeping 8 hours feels like. Hello everyone. [Ram smiles, looking a lot more alive and relaxed than the last time he posted. He's behind the bar of the Host Club Cabaret but there are no clients around that need his attention. He's wearing the white suit again.]

I'm going to miss working for the WATCH, but now I can rest better and focus more on the training. And seeing how things are going in Europe, I think this is for the best. [Ram's about to say something else when a girl wearing a dress that would put Stripp's clothes to shame arrives.]

Hey hottie, you know what I need now? Sex on the Beach. [Ram stares at her for a second before to reply.]

I don't doubt it would be nice but there are no beaches in Death City. [She giggles and leans against the counter, smirking.]

I meant the cocktail.

Oh, right. [Ram smiles sheepishly and turns to the communicator again.] Sorry, gotta work. [Before he turns off the the feed the girl can be heard saying '...but if you are ever up for the other there's plenty of sand around'.]

[There's some blood on Gai's face as he turns on the feed. White hair can be seen by his shoulder, but as he's close to the screen not much more can be seen.]

I need a medic. Now, please. Shibusen, the mirror.

[His expression is noticeably grim, but his voice and eyes tell more to those who know him. Gai is stressed and worried.]

Death City Times

ANTI-SHIBUSEN AND SHIBUSEN SUPPORTERS CLASH IN LONDON, PARIS, BERLIN, AND ROME

Rallies and riots have broken out across Europe as people for and against European Union support of Shibusen take to the streets in protests regarding the possible outcome of the EU council. Heated Internet discussions have also led to DNS attacks and consequent downtime of major site servers.

Shibusen representatives have made their appearance to join the talk and attempt to persuade the European Union against the decision. Deathscythes Tsar Pushka and Spirit Albarn are among the attendees.

"Our agents are working hard to handle the violence in Europe," Tsar said. "Our allies from North America, Japan and Australia are also helping with our crowded mission board."

The European Union move came in the wake of the Liechtenstein disaster of January 5, 2010, following an attack that closed Liechtenstein borders to all civilians.

[Temperatures for today will be 54/39F (12C/4C).]

Yuri Lowell has been returned home by BREW. It does not appear he left anything behind. [Just like him too. Flynn is managing a very professional straight face though]

...

I am currently looking for a partner. I am most skilled with one handed swords and shields, but I am trained in various other melee weapons. Be warned that any partners would be required to go on Watch based missions and training. Thank you for your time. [Yeeeep, makes it pretty obvious why he hasn't been really looking till now. He had held out some hope till the end.]

video ☆ january 7th, early morning.

[The camera's perched atop a coffee table and in the distance is Zatanna (who is wearing a torsolette with thigh-length fishnets attached to the garters). She's inside of a box, her body contorted at an odd angle.]

In case you can't tell, I'm in tip-top shape again! I haven't done a Box Act in a while... [She shifts into an upright position, her legs bend and slide forward so she's on her knees. From there, it's easy and she's standing on her feet and stepping out of the box.] It's more of a challenge to do it with a top hat and a pair of killer heels, though.

Anyway, now that I'm done being a show-off, I'm in the market for a manager. As some may recall, in the past I had an excellent one by the name of Pepper Potts. [There's a little sadness in her voice; she tilts her head forward, smiling softly.] Obviously, the market for magicians isn't too great, but the competition's low! I'm going to be heading to the bookstore shortly, but tonight I'll be at the Bitch's Brew. If you're interested -- or even if you aren't -- swing on by! So long as you're over twenty-one, drinks are on me!


[ooc: there is an open log here with the option of the book store, the bar, and the trip in between!]

I don't really blame the people in Europe.

[Enma isn't looking at the camera -- he's fiddling with the bandages on his hands and watching the kitten on his apartment floor bat at scattered bits of newspaper]

Shibusen isn't their problem - they just want to keep their families safe. Just like the people in Death City.

[A pause. He frowns, the expression perhaps carrying more bitterness than his usual embarrassed blushing and stammering. As he does, he reaches down, crumples up a small bit of paper, and throws it for the kitten to chase.]

How would anyone like it if their loved ones got hurt when they didn't need to?

[Bad memories - way too many of them. Compulsively, he bites his lower lip. The sound of a kitten mauling paper can be heard somewhere in the background]

Should probably just forget them. Help yourselves.
