[OPEN] June 2012 Intro Log

[daddyscythe]

Characters: OPEN
Where: Inside Shibusen - The Tour
Rating: Gen
Time: March 1 onwards
Description: Welcome to Death City! Ignore the sand.



It’s one of those days when the BREW starts making the weird energy readings it gives when about to pull people into Death City. Shibusen prepares the place as usual, setting up their tables, the communicators, and calling for the agents who kindly volunteered every time this happened.

Just before the BREW starts, however, a cloud of sand rolls over the city and covers it in darkness, dust, and wind, going high enough to envelop even Shibusen on top of its normally safe location overlooking the city. The alarms go out, the residents quickly retreat to shelter, and Shibusen...

Needless to say, Shibusen isn’t happy about this, and resignedly prepares the dorms instead.



ooc: Player characters will also be joining the log. Everything after the sub thread Dormitories is open to all characters, and people are free to make their own threads. Please put a header on it: [NAME][LOCATION][OPEN/CLOSE]

"Huh. Not a bad question, but my cut's short enough."

She stood straight up again, one hand on her hip while the other brushed back some of her short hair strands. Her hair didn't really pass her chin.

[attentionwenches]

Loki would never cut anyone's hair without permission. He'd learned his lesson! Really!

"And I should hate to spoil it," he said, flashing her a smile. Cat ears or not, she was a pretty girl. She looked interesting. "An experiment for another time, then. Is there anything else I can help you with?"

[clawsomekitty]

Well, she could purr-obaby go shorter. This cut is convenient... when she could pull her head off. Wah!

"Anything else, huh? Hm... Oh yeah! How do we find out about this soul ability stuff?"

[attentionwenches]

"You'll have to find a Meister with an ability called Soul Perception," Loki explained. "They should be able to tell you what your new abilities are."

[clawsomekitty]

"... That's it? Really?"

Wow, you'd think it would be harder.

[attentionwenches]

"Well, you will have to discover how to use your abilities on your own," Loki admitted. "But for the most part...yes, that's it."

[clawsomekitty]

"Well, I supawse that makes sense."

Maybe her ability is super awesome at least. She can already see it now, sabotaging some people, stealing a few more trinkets, getting out of this stinkin' war... "Hm... Does everyone fight in this war? I mean, do we all have to fight anyway?"

[attentionwenches]

...there she went again, making the cat puns! Laying the cat thing on a little thick, wasn't she? Maybe it was a matter of pride, Loki wondered. Perhaps she was just that proud to be a cat.

"No," he said, shaking his head. "We don't have to fight. It's possible to live in Death City quite peacefully."

[clawsomekitty]

It's not only cat puns Loki. You've yet to hear everything from this one.

"Hrm, peaceful? Not the typical gimmick fur me, but neither is a war." She rubbed her chin, both eyes closed as she thought, but then opened one eye to look at Loki. "Are you fighting?"

[attentionwenches]

Momentarily, Loki was torn about whether to lie and brag about his physical prowess or not. He decided against it. "I'm afraid not. I'm no warrior," he explained. "My talents lie in a different area entirely. Alas, they are hardly of any use here."

[clawsomekitty]

"That BREW did a number on you too, then?" She stretched, but then played with one of her stitches, looking irritated. "Really makes a person consider here, don't it?"

[attentionwenches]

"Indeed it did. My elemental magic was all but mastered in Asgard, but it's impossible to use in this city." Two weeks later, Loki was still bitter about that. "What sort of abilities did it take from you?"

[clawsomekitty]

"Magic? Well, nothing like that."

Still, she outlined her scars. "See all these? I've been chopped clean through to pieces. Still, it didn't matter. I could still come back together."

[attentionwenches]

Loki gasped. "I'd call that magic -- and rather impressive magic at that!"

[clawsomekitty]

"Impurressive, but not pawsible here."

She tugged at her head, letting go after a second. "Ye-ow! I'm missing it already!"

[attentionwenches]

All he could do was stare.

"...did you make a habit of pulling yourself apart...?"

[clawsomekitty]

"Yeah. Don't worry; I always made sure to pull myself back together."

It certainly helped with fighting.

[attentionwenches]

"Remarkable," he said, appreciative. "Was it an innate ability, or did you acquire it somehow?"

Loki could only imagine how useful it would be to be able to do that.

[clawsomekitty]

"Acquired it, but that's a long and really boring story."

That's a long story that she doesn't feel open when discussing right now.

[attentionwenches]

Honestly, Loki didn't see how it could possibly be boring, but... "You're right, now's not the time to recount it. There are others waiting to be checked. Is there anything else I can do for you before you go?"

[clawsomekitty]

Her tail swishes.

"Nyah, can't think of anything right meow."

[attentionwenches]

Okay, he had to ask. He had to.

"Do you always talk like a cat?"

[clawsomekitty]

"What can I say? A cat will talk like a cat."

Her ears swivel forward and her fangs glint slightly.

[attentionwenches]

"I've never seen a cat like you before," he said. "Are you a cat or a girl?"

[clawsomekitty]

"A catgirl obviously." She's really not lying.
