[OPEN] Feb 2012 Intro Log

Characters: OPEN to new arrivals and NPCS.
Where: En route to Casualty Communal
Rating: Gen
Time: January 26 onwards
Description: Hello, everyone!


It was gloomy weather in Death City, made even gloomier by the state of the city and the tired silence of its inhabitants. Cleaning up after one disaster or another wasn’t cheerful work, anyway, and the commercial district was still muddy in places from the flood three days before.

Still, gloomy or not, everyone seemed welcoming of the new guests, from the heads of Shibusen down to the littlest girl in the pastry store. Even the sun had a smile just for them, from behind the occasional cloud.

Welcome to Death City, newcomers!

[ooc: Player characters will also be joining the log. Everything after the sub thread Soul Perception is open to all characters.]

"Hello!" Ferio answered the friendly smile with one of his own. Naturally, all this was decidedly overwhelming. He could only begin to guess at the amount of culture shock he'd be feeling by the end of the day - what time of the day was it, anyway? Impossible to tell in what he supposed was probably underground.

The communicator is well-recieved, and he handles it with care. "Thank you. Oh, and might I ask - this is Earth, right?"
daddyscythe: (hurf durf)

[personal profile] daddyscythe 2012-02-23 12:38 pm (UTC)(link)
"Hi!" Spirit replied with an equally friendly one, pleased that someone was being nice and polite and not freaking out on him. "And this is, but you might fight it a very different earth from what you're used to. We get that reaction a lot."
invertedwind: (I see you there)

[personal profile] invertedwind 2012-02-23 12:45 pm (UTC)(link)
"Oh, so there are different ones?" He looks mildly surprised. Then again, considering all the people around... "I've never been to... any earth, myself, but we've had visitors who came from here. Well. Maybe not here, but close enough."
daddyscythe: (eh it's like this)

[personal profile] daddyscythe 2012-02-23 01:00 pm (UTC)(link)
"It seems that way, from what I hear from the guests. There's an earth where the countries have personifications, and then an earth where there are monsters everywhere, and then an earth where everyone has magic..." Spirit laughed. "And now you're in an earth where some humans turn into monsters and others turn into weapons. What kind of earth was yours?"
invertedwind: (What's your name)

[personal profile] invertedwind 2012-02-23 01:08 pm (UTC)(link)
"No idea! Like I said, I'm not from earth, and I think the visitors that came to Cefiro, where I'm from, had other things on their minds at the time. I didn't quiz them about their home. A lot of people can use magic back in my country."
daddyscythe: (heh)

[personal profile] daddyscythe 2012-02-23 01:10 pm (UTC)(link)
"But if they can visit you, I guess that's somewhat like your earth, too. Or something." Spirit wasn't actually sure, but he was all about being open to different cultures! "Here, only witches can really use magic, but we all have our own little abilities related to the soul. You get one, too."
invertedwind: (From someone)

[personal profile] invertedwind 2012-02-23 01:18 pm (UTC)(link)
"Oh? That's interesting. I've never gone into magic and the like at home, so all I'm bringing are my swordfighting skills. Neat to get an ability of my own, though." He wasn't entirely sure whether or not they understood the term soul in the same way. Probably not. On the other hand, it didn't really matter, he'd likely learn all about it soon enough.

"I suppose they'll tell me about it somewhere further along? Or do we have to find out what our abilities are on our own?"
daddyscythe: (w: battle hardened)

[personal profile] daddyscythe 2012-02-25 05:01 am (UTC)(link)
"We'll tell you which you are -- meister or weapon -- and then you can attend morning training to find out what your abilities are." Spirit grinned, more comfortable tackling this sort of question than the whole 'when can we go home' thing.

"Each Weapon can transform their body to exactly that -- a weapon. The meisters are those who wield them, and they get a select ability of their own. Usually, these things are based on bloodline and soul, but it seems that with you guys, it's more based on the things that you're familiar with in your world. I'm a weapon!" And just like that, his arm was a large, dully gleaming curved blade.
invertedwind: (I see you there)

Ferio took a quick step back, tensing and sorely missing having his sword, but he eased back into a conversational mood as there was no sign of any immediate attack.

"That's- impressive!" He stepped closer again, but kept at a polite distance while examining the blade, before looking back up at Spirit's face. "How long does it take to master abilities like this?"
daddyscythe: (... s-sweatdrop)

Sorry, died a bit over the weekend.

Spirit only grinned and let Ferio look -- he was used to demonstrating for the students, because while he made a pretty awful teacher, he was always a willing subject. Unless it was as Stein's experimental subject, anyway.

"I started going to Shibusen when I was about ten... twelve? Resonance and changing forms has always been easier for me than others, though. My partners said it's because I'm an idiot." Maybe not the best impression to make, but Spirit was never above making fun of himself. He shrugged his shoulder, and soon the blade was an arm again.
invertedwind: (I see you there)

Ferio merely gave him a puzzled look when he mentioned his age. After all, being used to strictly voluntary aging from the time you were capable of controlling it meant that de facto age and apparent age rarely lined up. He tried to play it off with a sheepish smile.

"Really? You weren't making such a bad impression on me so far."
daddyscythe: (heh)

[personal profile] daddyscythe 2012-03-01 01:15 pm (UTC)(link)
"You're a nice kid," Spirit said, grinning broadly, pleased to have at least one guest so far who seemed wholesome and accepting and just... generally nice. It was good to have nice guys around, if only because Spirit was such an easy guy to bully.

"But you should head off to the rest of the tour, yeah? You'll figure out all about meister things when you stay here. Nothing's as good a teacher as experience!" And given how the war was turning, experience would come in plenty to them, whether they liked it or not.
invertedwind: (And begin to show it)

[personal profile] invertedwind 2012-03-01 10:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Ferio couldn't help a sheepish laugh. Earth people sure were odd, judging age from appearance, but he didn't care to correct Spirit only to point out he was already sixhundred odd years old.

"Yeah, you're right I better get going. Thanks again though." And with another grin, he followed the trail of people to the tour.
