[ 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.

Lezard remained quiet throughout the tour, but finally arriving here in the strangest room of all had him bringing a hand to his chin, observing the surroundings. Surely they walked in on some sort of party made for the new 'Guests'?

Surely, that golden thing was a throne. Why a throne would be a bowl of water was anyone's guess, but for the first time in quite a while, he couldn't quite make sense of it all. This disturbed him far more than he revealed, his expression carefully neutral as he broke away from the group to do a little examination on his own.

The others could prattle all they wished until their bottom jaws fell out.

Six watched Lezard and quietly approached him. He hadn't intended to be quiet but it was old habit by now. He hardly noticed he did it anymore.

"If you'd like, I can run the scan for you to determine if you're a Meister or a Weapon so you can be on your way. Hopefully before Excalibur decides to grace us with his presence."

[lezard_valeth]

For a moment, Lezard's eyes turned to the man who'd approached him and seemed to peer right through. Who was this, and why were they speaking to him? Surely he could see that he appeared quite preoccupied working to figure out this... this place that the Philosopher's Stone (or if the boy were to be believed, BREW) had thrown him into.

Not even Hel would craft such a place as this, and he'd done everything correctly; Lezard hadn't failed in preserving his own life. That was simply impossible.

"Ah, yes," he spoke, realizing that this man was someone in the employ with Shibusen. Straightening up, he turned and pulled his cloak inward to cover his frame, a force of habit.

"Such peculiar terms, 'Weapon' and 'Meister'. Your employers see fit to use them with frequency while failing to properly explain what exact roles they take in relation to one another. Perhaps in exchange for this scan you would see fit to inform me of what they could not."

[sixthdeadliest]

"'Weapon' refers to a human who can transform into a weapon like a scythe or gun. A 'Meister' is their wielder. It's a partnership with both relying on one another to assist the reigning shinigami with reaping the souls of those who are becoming kishin, demon gods. If a Weapon consumes ninety-nine of these evil souls plus the soul of one witch, they become a Death Scythe and one of the shinigami's personal Weapons."

Six had been doing quite a bit of reading over the past month. He knew he'd barely scratched the surface, but at least it covered the basics.

"Hold still, please."

And going to start scanning you.

[lezard_valeth]

Lezard's lips twitched into an amused grin. "Demon gods and reaping souls? Without exerting any form of effort, you've cemented my decision to participate in this war."

And as the scanning occurred, he found the term 'consume' amusing, if only mildly disturbing. He knew of beasts who devoured souls, nameless beings who leave corpses untouched, yet empty shells.

Nevertheless, he had to concoct a plan, but he found he needed to discover the results of this scan to decide in what form he would proceed.

[sixthdeadliest]

Six's lips twitched at that. "I wasn't even attempting to recruit you," he said with amusement. "However, I'm sure your assistance will be welcomed."

He read out the results. "According to this, you're a Weapon. If your serious about joining the war, I'd suggest you join up with Morning Training to find out your Weapon ability along with trying to find a Meister."
