[ 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.

[blazeoflife]

Alright, then I'll havta find him soon.

[Maybe... not today though. He needs some time to process things, and to find Fuuka.]

'Back at the apartment'? You live with him or something?

[He couldn't help but give a smile at the smaller teen.]

I bet he still sleeps all the time, right? Guy could pass out in the middle of class and still ace all of his exams.

[He nodded at his question, feeling a bit like the boy was piercing into his soul as he was looked over. But the grin returned at the introduction.]

Same here, Shirogane-san. Ah, okay.

[And stand on the marker he did.]

This ain't gonna hurt, is it?

[Cause he didn't have much of a healing ability anymore...]

[pishirogane]

I can give you directions, but he has a way of finding out who has arrived. He may find you first.

[He gets a nod]

That's correct. Minato-san is my Meister.

I keep him from sleeping too much. He would have difficulty running SEES otherwise.

[Everyone tends to get that feeling. She shakes her head]

No, it doesn't. It's similar to an x-ray.

[Don't move; it's started... but its done in almost 10 seconds.]

[blazeoflife]

Hehh... that sounds like him. He has this habit, popping up at the weirdest times.

[He blinked at Shirogane, already impressed with him.]

Ohhh, so you're partners then, right? And geez, you're already miles ahead of anyone else in SEES! Er, back home, I mean. Being able to keep him from sleepin' too much and all is pretty impressive, dude.

[He stood still as the machine did his scan... so what would he be, a Meister or a weapon?]

[pishirogane]

Yes.

[Sometimes, Naoto wished he wouldn't.]

I didn't know it was that difficult.

[Once you find out just how to...]

[The machine dinged and Naoto watched as the image was brought up, the data being compiled slowly]

[blazeoflife]

[You and him both, Naoto.]

Seriously, sometimes I'd just let him sleep... only for him to be at the school gate already, even before I showed. It was damn weird!

[Drove him nuts too. As the machine dinged, Junpei relaxed a bit, taking a step away from the marker.]

So, what's the verdict?

[pishirogane]

When it's important, he'll be there...

[She's waiting for the results to appear]

... You've been designated a Weapon here.

[blazeoflife]

...Yeah.

[Naoto had no idea how right he was.]

[Junpei shook his head, focusing back on the task at hand.]

S-so, a weapon? Guess it don't tell us what kind.

[He actually had no idea what sort of weapons Death City employed. Was it like, AK-47s, or swords, or...what?]

What kinda weapon are you?

[pishirogane]

[Actually... there have been some odd things Naoto has been meaning to inquire Minato about]

Unfortunately, it does not. You'll have to transform to know.

[New arrivals were always curious]

A Demon Gunblade. I mainly improve my Meister's accuracy.

[blazeoflife]

[Junpei'd be interested in knowing what sometime.]

So...uh, how does transformin' work then? Does it hurt much, or is it just like, 'mind over matter' or something?

[Or something like, putting a gun to your head and pulling the trigger...]

Whoa, a gunblade?! That sounds awesome!

[Seriously, this guy was pretty damn cool already!]

[pishirogane]

It will only hurt if you throw yourself off the staircase. Don't; that's a common prank by some of the longer Guests. It all comes down to your mental control.

[No, no guns... though, that might trigger enough stress to change.]

It's strange, but convenient.

[blazeoflife]

T-throw myself off the--

[Oh. Oh, it was a prank. So -that- was the hazing tradition around here. Junpei let out a sigh of relief, shaking his head.]

Thanks for the heads up, Shirogane-san. I don't wanna get a broken neck after just coming here, y'know?

[He waved his bandaged hand at him, chuckling sheepishly]

Bad enough I already cut myself up. So, uh... I guess I should head out or something, quit wasting yer time?

[Junpei'd like to talk to the guy more, but... it was sort of busy in here, and he didn't want to annoy him.]

[pishirogane]

I doubt you would actually break your neck from a stair fall here. Weapons tend to be more resilient, but you may fracture something.

[Oh he... was clumsy. This was reminding her of Yosuke all over again... hm.]

We'll meet again. That is, unless you're not joining SEES.

[That's highly improbable though]

[blazeoflife]

Ooooh, really? I didn't know that! That's kinda cool!

[So maybe he didn't have to worry too much about not having Trismegistus, but it was still kinda unsettling.]

Still, don't feel like having to go to the hospital unless I gotta.

[Well he was a Magician Arcana, they tend to share similar traits. He smirked at Naoto's comment, shaking his head.]

You couldn't get rid'o me if you tried! Consider me signed up, man!

[But his expression softened, and he nodded to the younger boy.]

...Thanks a lot for all this, Shirogane-san. You're a pretty cool guy. It's really weird how much you look like Minato though... swear you could be his brother.

[pishirogane]

Yes. We've received enough complaints from the clinic of people trying to leave before they're physically ready. Don't become another one.

[She nodded. It's always good to have another on the team.]

[At Junpei's statement, she paused. It... would be right to tell him the truth, but she isn't sure. Besides, maybe Minato might enjoy it?]

... There's a long story behind that.

[blazeoflife]

H-heh, no worries, I'll do my best not to!

[Really, he would! ...Unless someone he knew was in trouble. Then, no promises.]

[He blinked at Naoto's pause, cocking his head to the side]

Oh yeah? Ya gotta tell me 'bout it sometime... for now, I'll get out of yer hair. Talk to ya later, Shirogane-san!

[He waved to the boy, before turning to leave... avoiding the toilet in the center at all cost. Seriously what little weirdo would do that?]

[Anyway, he had some shit to do... like finding an apartment, and tracking down Fuuka, and... then figuring out what to do about Minato. God, what a day...]
