Characters: The Watch & OPEN to everyone
Location: Death City
Time: May 10th-13th
Rating: PG-13 for now
Warnings: Potential violence
Summary: The city is in chaos and the Watch is trying to do their job, but it's a little more than they can handle on their own.


The civilians have taken to the streets in a formal march of protest, holding signs both insulting and critical; some simply vulgar while others call for action- for change. They come from everywhere and don't stop until they reach Shibusen's stairs to rally with a growing mob of protesters. Shibusen agents gifted with Calming Wavelength stand by to allow attempts at mediation, but while they aren't violent, the protesters remain unyielding in their convictions.

In other parts of the city, trouble-makers work tirelessly to disrupt or sabotage businesses, paint graffiti over any untouched wall of known guest establishments, and harass the unusual-looking passerby. Don't go out alone, or you might find yourself cornered by these troublemakers with unpredictable temperaments.

The Watch is on the move in every district, working to protect its citizens and try their hand at peacemaking, but they're stretched pretty thin...

At that, Genesis couldn't help but laugh heartily, amused by Kotetsu's comeback. Somehow, it reminded him of a dear friend of his back home-- that kind of humor.

"At least I tried to explain what this wing was before dismissing it as complicated. I thought you'd return the favor."

[wildest]

"You barely explained anything!" Kotetsu replied with a slight pout, but the humor in his own tone was still slightly visible, meaning he wasn't exactly that insistent on keeping his own complicated explanation all that secret. Crossing his arms over his chest, Kotetsu appeared thoughtful for a moment before he sighed.

"Alright, I'll give you the short version. Think police officer. Just way cooler."

[recitings]

"Alright, that explanation's acceptable," Genesis chuckled and took another sip of his drink. "Sounds like you're a soldier or secret service... something to that effect."

[wildest]

That response promptly earned him a rather odd expression from Kotetsu, a little sour, like he'd just eaten something not quite right. He waved his hand in dismissal, shaking his head. "No, no, nothing like that. Not even close! There's no way someone like me would be cut out for that kind of work. Too... intense?" He scratched at his chin, raising an eyebrow.

"You're gonna get me to come right out with it eventually, aren't you? Well too bad, not happening. I'm just sayin' that I protect people. How about that?"

[recitings]

"Fine. That will do. I've spent almost my entire life fighting wars and leading troops, so I guess I've forgotten how difficult that is for most other people."

Genesis grins at Kotetsu then.

"Well, now you know what I used to be before I came here."
