[ OPEN ] August 2012 Introduction Log

[perfectorder]

Characters: OPEN to new arrivals and NPCS.
Where: En route to Casualty Communal
Rating: Gen
Time: March 12 onwards
Description: Welcome to Death City!


It had been a little over a week since the sandstorm, and thus a little over a week since the last batch of newcomers. When the readings indicated that BREW was activating again so quickly, it was a bit of a scramble to get everything prepared. The last time it activated before then was early February, so this really was a small time frame. It had been some time since that happened.

But everyone dutifully prepared just in time for the first arrivals. It was also a relatively good day despite the past few rain showers. At least things were much calmer now.

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

[ Matt only glances at it, but that's enough.

y e p
that's Mello alright. Always such a bundle of joy, isn't he? But now that Matt knows who exactly to contact, this is going to make everything three hundred times easier and it means he doesn't have to worry all that much that people know him.

Whatever... those people are. What's a troll, anyway? They look humanoid enough. Aliens? Mutants? Hipsters who got too much time and money on their hands and indulge in coloring their skin gray, horns and elf ears?]

Thanks. [he wants to leave, but at the same time he is not going to make it too obvious] What's a troll? [please don't say "what I am". Matt is hoping for a better definition. And he also knows the urban Urban Dictionary, too]

[dungenessmaster]

By that I assume you mean my species and not some precious internet slang or grossly racist old folk tales involving bridges and shrill barn beasts. We're from a planet in a universe way older than this one, which I guess from your perspective would make us the aliens, preposterous as that sounds.

It just goes to show how much of a shrieking boggy mess this world's in and how far BREW will reach to bring in help.

Witches, aliens, shinigamis. Death themed city. [kinda a gamer's dream come true in the most fucked up way. ]

If they have to bring outside people to do their dirty laundry, it's messed up alright. [Matt wouldn't usually bother to make unpleasant comments be he REALLY needs a cigarette. He can't even think like this.]

The Weapon thing you mentioned earlier. Why would anyone throw themselves off the stairs?

[dungenessmaster]

Plenty of reasons. Some people are too goddamned stupid and keep getting distracted by floating dust specks or a bird outside or something. Or they're just the kind of openhearted sucker who'll try anything once. I didn't say it was the BEST way, it's just the one that's almost a hundred percent idiot-proof.

[3rdbest]

Fine, then what's the best option? Meditating? [mutters] Sounds really boring.

[dungenessmaster]

Isn't that something you should be figuring out? Everyone does it differently. I mean, when I first got here, I got talked through it by some guy claiming he was an entire country.

Being a weapon is pretty damn boring and kind of insulting sometimes, but the partial body change thing is pretty useful if your form doesn't suck dead maggots off a hoofbeast carcass.

Hell if I know. [points to self] New guy, remember?

[he really has no idea how the hell is he supposed to turn. Ether way, he will eventually figure out. Probably]

[insulting? aha] Not happy with your position?
