Characters: OPEN to new arrivals and NPCS.
Where: En route to Casualty Communal
Rating: Gen
Time: August 8, Afternoon
Description: Deathscythe takes these new batch of arrivals to Casualty Communal together with some of Shibusen's finest crayzees part two!




Things had been looking better lately, what with the abolishment of the contract and the start of the classes again. It almost seemed normal, if not for the increasing number of new faces lately. It made him worry a little, how the BREW had been finding it necessary lately to toss even more and more people into their world -- was it a sign of things to come?

Spirit was there when the door to the chamber opened, ready in his usual suit and the communicators in a box next to him. He handed them out one by one, making sure to point out the manual, before stepping back and starting the tour.


[ooc: New arrivals are also encouraged to mingle with each other. I am trying out another format to this, so please bear with me! Basically, Spirit will be giving everyone a tour of Shibusen and Death City chronologically in different threads, and you are free to reply. You are also free to make new threads for yourselves for mingling with others if you like. Action logs are all right.]

This is very awesome and accidental foreshadowing.

[daddyscythe]

The problem with Shibusen and the locals was that they considered the Deathscythe and Shinigami as next to invincible, relied on them far too much for the heavy work and assumed that everything would be all right. It was all well and good until the hands of the deathscythes started dying, one by one. Not to mention the usual professors and even their own students – so many had been shaved off their ranks in the past few months alone. Deathscythes were not easy to make by any means, killing a witch often ending up with the potential deathscythe dead than successful.

But at China's offer, Spirit blinked in surprised. He was too used to the guests being demanding by now, that with the exception of some, their offer for help was mostly like a truffle to dig for. Spirit opened his mouth, closed it, and then opened it again. "Well--- I mean… well…"

What could he give China? "If you could help the weapons once in a while, especially when I'm absent, I'd be grateful," he said carefully, wondering how much he could ask for. "And keeping the troublemakers in line. You do a great job of that already." With that thief, especially, and the other countries…

Success in all areas, then.

He waited with some patience, but he didn't turn his gaze anywhere else. The Westerns always liked to stare people in the eye-- he'd do the same, for once. Give the man some time, see if he would turn excited and unload half...

When Spirit didn't, China might have gained a bit more respect for him. Only a bit, however. "In the training, you mean? And I do not know what you speak of. The troublemakers do as they wish." Such as that Fang girl. Obnoxious, that one. But children were children. A further tilt of the head-- "Is that all, aru?" Although why he was asking when he'd already agreed to other things wasn't quite clear (and thinking about working for Shibusen- well. no. he was doing this for the other arrivals. that much was plain).

[daddyscythe]

Spirit nodded, a little more enthusiastic that China didn't seem to be making judging eyes at him. The eye contact went unheeded. "Yeah, training! Showing them how to change forms and then getting them to practice. As for the troublemakers… well, even just scolding helps. We don't have a leg to stand on when it comes to that."

Was China actually asking him for more work? But no! Spirit wasn't like that! "That's all." The 'for now' went unsaid. "You're already… handling a lot, you know? With training, and then helping Germany out, and then all the cooking lessons and other things…"

[closedmarket.livejournal.com]

"I... could do that, yes. As long as it does not interfere with Germany's plans on my teaching partners." Or any of those other things-- "You have been listening, aru." The cooking lessons had been recent, too. Oh, well. It was good to know. He couldn't help a small snort at the scolding bit; but if that was what they wanted, then, fine. He'd make a point of it.

Maybe things would go more peacefully, if mailboxes and such weren't destroyed every time someone didn't like where they were (he knew the feeling - ruining the postal services didn't solve it).

[daddyscythe]

Assistance! Assistance was being offered! Spirit felt much like he had reached out and succeeded! Even if it was China who reached out first, but still, anyway. China, he could rely on. Germany was well and good for the things that required coordination, but for the details…

Anyway.

"I'll try to make sure that I'm there all the time! Maybe I can convince Maka to go back to training the partners…. She's been busy." A thought, a thought.… Was he forgetting something? And then a brilliant smile. "Thanks, China!"

[closedmarket.livejournal.com]

"If she is busy, perhaps there is someone else. Melding the two could be possible, as well." Musing tone, not definite; at the gratitude, he shook his head just a bit, looking off at last.

"You are welcome. Thank you for these, however." Small shake of the folder of names. Oh, wait-- "Do you need this back, aru?"

[daddyscythe]

Maybe Stein... if Stein was feeling sane enough to help out. The man had been on and off into his insanity the past weeks. Spirit shook his head. "Melding may be possible. If it's partners, we can maybe ask the other guests who've been partners for long, too..."

He grinned at the folder bit, though. "Nah, you can keep it."
