soul_logs | [ OPEN ] August 2012 Introduction Log

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.

I don't think I have. But it was quite the eventful few hours.

[Really, she hasn't had this much excitement since she saw the new heroes initiate their game.]

[Another nod and she hits a button. As Naoto said, nothing happens besides the machine whirring and soon, there's a ding. It all stops immediately as the results are prepared.]

You can step off the marking now.

[With nowhere else to go, Aranea approaches Naoto to see if she could make any sense out of the results.]

[As an x-ray, it does show some form of Aranea's structure, but it's mainly focused on the cerulean blue orb in the center of her chest.]

... You're a Weapon.

[She's happy to see the blue, but her head tilts.]

How can you tell?

It says so.

[She points at another screen that reads 'Weapon'] I've never seen a Meister or Weapon's soul personally for various reasons, but one could venture to come up with several theories as to what makes them different.

[Oh, so it did! Still... a machine that was able to see souls? That's pretty impressive tech! No wonder they were able to bring her back from the dead.]

What theories might those be?

[Everything about this place is interesting. The more she saw, the more she wanted to know.]

Well, it could boil down to personalities or roles within your world how your soul is ultimately shaped.

[She shrugs] It's something worth asking Stein-sensei.

Stein-sensei is a person that is in charge of souls?

[That was a small shame. The way this ~~girl~~ boy carried ~~herself~~ himself made it seem as though ~~she~~ he was quite the expert...]

No. He's a teacher at Shibusen, but he has a great understanding of souls. He's capable of perceiving souls on his own and is capable of making himself compatible with any Weapon.

[Not a native here after all.]

[Huh... was sensing emotions the same as perceiving souls? Aranea wonders if that was the case... and perhaps the jumble within BREW was because it might have has some trouble handling such a specific skill like that. Or maybe she was on the wrong track, who knows.]

That sounds like a unique skill for this place. It's no wonder he's an expert.

[Ah...]

I hope it is not inappropriate to ask, but are you a weapon or a miester, mister...

...[hmm]

I'm sorry, it would seem I may have forgotten your name.

[She nods. Don't think too hard into it, but it's always possible]

I'm a Weapon. Demon Gunblade to be exact.

[Ah]

Naoto Shirogane. Pleasure, Miss...?

Serket!

[she smiled] Aranea Serket.

Well then, a pleasure Serket-san.

[She looks back at the screen.]

So I'm a weapon. Will that mean I'll become a sword too?

No. Each Weapon is different. Blades, projectiles, pole arms... they don't have to make logical sense. I believe... someone here previously was a hand mirror.

[She knows exactly who that was. No, not talking about it.]

A mirror? [She's really surprised at that. Mirrors can be weapons? :o]

How would that work as a weapon? It'd break the first time it is used.

You would ask his Meister if he's still present. However, I believe this Weapon would be able to reflect attacks or something of the sort.

Oh... interesting!

To find out your own form, you'll have to practice transforming. I suggest attending morning training... oh, and if anyone suggests throwing yourself down the Shibusen Staircase, don't do it.

...does that keep happening?

Yes. Pranks like that are common. Someone began a rumor that kissing your partner would improve resonance... though, I have a feeling that could be counterproductive.

You didn't try that, did you?

No, I did not... but another boy attempted to on me.

[Her face is blushing blue! :o]

Oh dear...

[He's certainly forthcoming of other people's advances!]
