Alright, so check this.

[The video comes on to show Dave(sprite) standing in front of a good sized tree stump. He gives it a few kicks to show the audience it isn't rotted through. Then, with more dramatics then necessary, he turns himself into weapon form and plants himself blade-end down into the wood. Excalibur style.

You'll have to forgive him for not actually knowing Excalibur.]


Bet you there's not a single one of you that can make themselves the crowned king of cool by being able to yank me free of this thing.

Though I'm not waiting around all day. And I have the right to decline attempts based on high percentages of lame.

[The video starts up without the fumbling of a beginner using the network, though there is an unfamiliar face staring through the mirror. Obito definitely took his time reading that manual to get this right. He was also too lazy to check the DEMISE network before, but that's not the point. Distinctive about his face are his eyes, which are two-toned. The left is normal and black while the right is permanently stuck with a strange red pattern on it. The boy also has a bright smile and an arm in a cast. And a strange pair of orange-lens goggles. But other than that he's normal.

He raises an arm in greeting. His one good arm, of course.]


Hey, everyone. I probably should have done this before, but I was kinda busy before now just getting used to this place. Anyway, I'm Uchiha Obito and it turns out that I'm a Meister so...um, I look forward to working with all of you.

I'm a shinobi from Konoha. I know there are supposed to be a few others from there... Oh! If you're familiar with Gai and Kakashi, I'll be staying with them for now. In case you were wondering.

[He's rambling now, not sure what else to say to make this introduction any smoother. He's pretty bad at these things... Oh, right, he had a question to ask!]

Before I go, do any of you know a good idea for a thank-you gift? I need to get something for someone I'm not too familiar with, but I feel like I owe him a lot. Any suggestions?

[That should do it, right?]

Thanks for your help.

I've been curious about all the other worlds and some of their stories and journeys, so what do you say we share some together? I'll start!

Once upon a time, there existed a giant tree that was the source of mana. A war, however, caused this tree to wither away, and a hero's life was sacrificed in order to take its place. Grieving over the loss, the goddess disappeared unto the heavens. The goddess left the angels with this edict: ‘You must wake me, for if I should sleep, the world shall be destroyed.’ The angels bore the Chosen One, who headed towards the tower that reached up unto the heavens. And that marked the beginning of the regeneration of the world.

[ Even though time passes, the only person he cares about and would die for refuses vehemently to react with him. No matter how much Wolfram insist, he knows Yuuri will keep on denying his request.

That leaves him with no other choice but to turn on the video feed. His tone is as stern as his expression: ]


... I need a Weapon. I am a meister.

This is mainly directed at the residents of Konoha, yet anyone is free to give their opinion.

[and straight to the point:]

Is Uchiha Itachi still considered an enemy here, or is he now considered an ally?

[you told him to ask, Itachi, so he will. Publicly. :| ]

[There is a considerable amount of green showing on the screen of your communicator: the camera focuses on a very fashionable jade green scarf, before being pulled away from the person in question and placed on the table in front of them. Well well well, what do we have here?

At first glance, it may appear to some that the communicator has focused on one Kanaya Maryam, but upon closer look, it becomes obvious enough that the troll currently on screen is older, taller, and has much bigger horns: that is because this troll lady is indeed far older than the trolls Death City is familiar with, and is, in fact, one of their ancestors.

The Dolorosa sits up straight and poised, dressed impeccably for someone who, until very recently, held the role of a slave on a dangerous gamblingnant’s ship. She smiles slightly as she addresses the DEMISE network, adjusting her scarf so that her sign-- ♍, embroidered carefully in black thread-- is more visible.]


What an odd predicament I seem to have found myself in. An entirely new world, inhabited by a species far too different from my own... and yet, despite our many anatomical and presumably intellectual differences, the thirst for violence and war remains a common trait. I do so hope that Death City does not reveal itself to be as dangerously close-minded as Alternia, however.

[She speaks calmly; there is a certain gentleness in her voice that sounds almost motherly, even as she speaks about violence. But as much as she would love to preach about equality and the teachings of the Signless, there are other things she must do right now: meeting the descendant of her dear Ψiioniic, as well as her own; she has already met Karkat and Nepeta, after all.]

I have a request, if I may be so bold upon my arrival: it is my desire to meet two young trolls who were brought to this world before me. [At this, she raises a sheet of paper where the symbols for Gemini and Virgo were drawn, in yellow and jade green, respectively.] It is of utmost importance that I am allowed the opportunity to make their acquaintance.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

[There’s a slight bow of her head at the camera before she reaches forward to turn the transmission off.]

[In case youre around to see this
Ill play this game
Lets see how far this bullshit will go
Though if it isnt your game then I guess itll just be that much easier to win I guess
]

[The video comes on to Handmaid peering at the camera as sullen and stern-faced as she always is. There's an edge of curiosity to her expression- but she doesn't say anything- just turns her head toward the screen of the communicator and begins to type again.]


Your names
Do they mean something
To you or to whoever gave them to you
If you picked them yourselves then why did you chose them



What makes what youre called so important



[ooc: people have made her curious, and she wants to now what the big deal about having a 'name' instead of a 'title' is.]

[the video clicks on to one of the apartments in Death City Heights, but the kitchen wall has been knocked out, extending the space into the neighbouring apartment. the camera is currently sitting on the counter and pointing at a pile of boxes, some half open. on the coffee table is an array of belongings, including an ironcast teapot and what looks like a headband. following is one seriously displeased voice:]

Naruto!

[there's a squawk, and Chicken (which is, in fact, a chicken) runs into view and bobs it's way into the second living room in an angry flurry of white and brown feathers. a shirtless Sasuke steps in front of the camera, where he points at the pile of moving boxes like he's giving some kind of decree. in that hand is also a pair of ridiculous looking boxers.]

What the hell is all of this doing in my apartment? You don't even live here. I'm not going to clean up after you. Come and get rid of it.

[The video feed turns on and the pale, dark haired boy simply stares at the screen for a moment, frowning slightly at this strange technology before him.]

Gai-sensei told me that several other Konoha shinobi are present in this city, including my teammates. Kakashi-sensei? Naruto? Sakura?

[Another pause, almost as if he is waiting for some sort of reply.]

To anyone else that can see this, I am Sai. I would usually say "nice to meet you" but seeing as we were all kidnapped and brought here against our will, the greeting does not feel appropriate.

...If any of you strangers have seen my teammates, could you please tell me where they are? I can give you physical descriptions- One is a masked, grey haired man who is often seen reading pornography. The other two are a pink-haired girl who likes to hit people and a blond-haired boy who is loud and sometimes does really stupid things.

[he lifts a hand up to his forehead, tapping the forehead protector strapped to it.] All three of them should be wearing one of these. Thank you for your time.

[the feed starts and a boy with sandy blond hair and blue eyes is staring at it intently]

Now, obviously, I'm new here. While I'm no stranger to suddenly being brought somewhere without my especially wanting it I will admit this is definitely a squick different than the last time. That, hm, tour, explained a wee bit but I'm not going pretend I understand it all. I do realize it looks like I'm going to be stuck here whether I want to be or not.

In that case, I might as well get answers to the most important question first.

[he leans closer to emphasize the seriousness of the situation]

What I want to know is: what's the best place to eat around here? If you can help me with that, it'd be brilliant.

[he makes to turn off the feed but stops and mumbles]

Oh, right. Should introduce myself.

[he then sits back and salutes at the screen, grinning]

Things seem to be getting pretty bad in Europe, don't they? Not that everywhere isn't being affected by this war.

This world needs us now more than ever, and I know that I'm going to do what I can to help protect everyone here.

[The words almost seem to be spoken more to Yuuri than to whoever is watching. Seeming to come back to himself, he shakes his head and peers at the screen moments before his eyes widen subtly.

He almost gives the appearance of being caught by surprise, which he half-had, before Yuuri is smiling sheepishly.]

Aaaaah... Does anyone know if there's anywhere that hires out carts, or wheelbarrows or something similar?

[Private to Watson]

I hate to ask this, but could I get the 9th off from work? I wouldn't do it if it could be helped, but something came up that I need to do. Sorry to leave you in the lurch like this, Dr. Watson.

This feels weird, or wrong. I don't know...

But I need a partner. A meister. Don't think I can keep staying in this place unless I have one.

Looks like the other guy from True Cross is gone too. So that leaves me.

[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.]

[ Kurt is sitting at the kitchen table, cup of coffee and his breakfast, half a grapefruit, visible in front of him. There's a copy of the newspaper folded up in one hand, and he's frowning with great uncertainty into the video feed as he puts it down. ]

Pretty grim news these days, if you ask me. Somehow it doesn't seem right doing nothing. I don't want to get swept up in madness, and as much as I hate it...

[ He looks for a moment at the ceiling and gives a huff of a sigh before practically grimacing as he starts to speak again. ] I need a new partner. I tried earlier on but then I stopped after the whole... Gamzee incident. I'm decent with a sword and all right with knives and willing to use whatever other less conventional Weapons are out there. I realize there are better trained Meisters who have more of an idea of what the hell they're doing but if there's anyone willing to try out a mission or two with me, contact me. It's not like I have zero experience, either, just so you know. My previous Weapon and I downed our fair share of kishin eggs...

[ Another deep breath. He's trying not to let it show too much, but Kurt is really nervous about this. He's tired of getting hurt, but maybe if he starts small for once... At least half of the time when he got hurt in the past it was because he was trying to help in too big of a way. Start small. Easier missions. But even easy missions have a certain amount of risk. You just never know, do you?

Kurt shakes his head and tears his eyes away from the video feed before turning it off, but not before one final: ]
Thanks.

[Those that live in Fatality Condominiums may hear a bit more noise than usual this morning while someone repeatedly opens and closes doors in one apartment, going up and down the stairs inside it, as if making a hundred laps of the small space will change what he sees. The noise finally stops as he stops, as it sinks in that he can't really deny the only possible conclusion. There's one last, quieter lap of the apartment as he looks behind every door, in every closet, and even under the beds once more. Then there's silence again.]

[When the device comes on, it shows Gai in an empty apartment. He looks tired and down. There are a few false starts as he tries to speak and doesn't quite get it out. When he does speak, his voice is far more quiet than usual.]


Rock Lee and the Kaze--Gaara have left. Everything is gone. There is no question of it.

[The words are slow because he's having to admit it to himself as he speaks. Gai doesn't want to accept this, that his student has returned without him to face the war, he wants to go out and find Lee, but his student wouldn't have taken all of his belongings and hid. It's Lee.]

I...

[He blinks, forgetting what he was saying. Then he shakes his head.]

Is there anyone who would like to see about being a second for Morning Training? Not for this morning. It is too short notice. I will be there today. But I mean so that perhaps myself and my Meister can take on a mission in the future. And if anyone wishes to suggest more things for Training, they are free to do so. Perhaps now is a good time.

[He sits there for a few moments before nodding.]

Thank you to those who were my... my Lee's friends.

[Gai bows his head and ends the message.]

[and this is Sasuke, his face in the camera, and barely contained fury in his expression. he's abrupt and to the point. it's bad enough that he was already in a terrible mood the last two weeks; with the huge losses of BREW and now this? he's half as pissed with himself as he is with the thief.]

I'm giving you one chance.

Whoever the fuck was in my apartment better come forward now. If I find you, and what you took, first, I'll kill you.

I hope that everyone had a great New Years Eve! I know I did. [Even if he spent it mostly hiding under the blankets while watching scary movies.] The fireworks were definitely something.

[His ever-present smile continues to accompany his words.]

Oh! If anyone needs any help cleaning up after last night, I'll be more than happy to help them. We've all got to work together, right?

[Filtered to Saralegui]

[His expression softens when the feed turns filtered. While he's been busy in the clinic, he hasn't been able to get Sara's situation off of his mind.]

Have you got time to talk?

[what a network post from sasuke where he isn't bitching about everything under the sun? what is the world coming to? his voice is low, either way. heavy.]

If anyone didn't know, China and Sohki. They're both gone.

[he takes a breath, and it sounds like a sigh. his next statement doesn't quite meet the offhand manner he tries to make it. the tea set has his name on it, but he's never had a dog before. he's a cat person. he's not sure if he's offering the animal to someone else or not.]

Sohki left his dog behind.

[another beat, as he considers bringing up the new years celebrations, before he changes his mind and cuts the feed.]
