[OPEN] April 2013 Introduction Log

Characters: Volunteers, Newcomers and OPEN for mingling!
Location: All Around Death City
Rating: Varies
Time: May 19th, All Day
Description: Welcome to Death City.



BREW doesn't think about kidnappings, activists or the hot, dry weather that hangs over the desert city this week. After powering up, giving energy readings on the night of the 18th that alerted Shibusen to new arrivals, they turn now to volunteers to assist in giving the newcomers the information and supplies they need.

Perhaps you're one of the ones who woke up in the Kishin Chamber on the morning of the 19th. Perhaps you live in Casualty Communal and were woken up by equipment transporting strange x-ray machines to rest in front of the building, prepared to scan the fresh meat and determine which are Meisters and which are Weapons.

Regardless, it's looking a little more like old times... let's give them a warm welcome, shall we?


[ooc: Newcomers! Simply tag in to any or all of the sections here and volunteers will pop right up to greet you ASAP! The last section is completely OPEN for newcomers, volunteers, or Guests all ready in Death City who want to come up and say hello. Have fun!]

Well, yeah, maybe he's next, but he's not technically in line. He's probably been next for the last couple rounds. He looks around, and when no one else seems to be moving forward, he approaches. "Hi. Look, can I just skip this part? I really don't give a shit, and I have no interest in seeing my soul or finding out if I'm a meister or a weapon or whatever." Maybe if he doesn't play along with them, he'll get to go back to the Veil faster.

"It would be unwise if I allowed you to leave before finding out." Eyes leveled with his and voice steady, the detective continued. "First of all, the city has been attacked before. Only Weapons can defeat Kishin eggs so if you were one or required one, you would like to know that knowledge ahead of time and consider who to partner with. Second, you would want to know your Meister ability or Weapon form to better develop your skills and transformation speed."

She pointed to the staircase, "Those steps are a typical hazard, but the quickest way to transform. You shouldn't throw yourself down them unless you are a Weapon. Finally, no one leaves unless BREW decides to send you away and one or two people actually understand how BREW calculates that. If you want to, you could have your Soul Perceived at morning training by Stein-sensei... Those hours are 6 AM to 9 AM."

"Yeah, it's unwise, but you can't force me to do shit. If I want to die a horrible death, then I will die a god damn horrible death with no way to defend myself. Maybe I"ll be able to punch the fucker in the nose before I'm brutally murdered." Sigh. That's not what he wants though. He needs to stay alive so he can get back to his friends. "Alright, fine. Do whatever you need to do. I'll cooperate. I don't need fucking special training with this Stein guy. Who are the one or two people how know how Brew works? I'm assuming one of them is your leader."

Naoto waited for Karkat to finish with his rant, but in the meantime, guided him over to the side. They would use a hand-held since he wanted to be on his way. "The portable scanner will let you leave in five minutes at least."

She picked one up from her machine and pointed it at him. If Karkat knew a supermarket, the device would look familiar. "Unfortunately, the current Shinigami doesn't. The one who would currently know would be a figure named Eibon."
redregrets: (LOOK NOOKSNIFFER)

[personal profile] redregrets 2013-04-16 04:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Five minutes. Okay, he can deal with that. "Fine." Might as well discover all he can about this place from someone who seems fairly knowledgeable.

"You're telling me your leader doesn't know shit about his own magical thing? What kind of shithead put him in charge? Why doesn't he just ask this Eibon guy then? Isn't sort of important that the leader knows what BREW can do?"

"Our current leader was left in charge abruptly after the previous leader's untimely disappearance. Little can be done about that."

Just one click of a button and his soul was bring processed. "Eibon is apparently an enigmatic figure. Plenty of people would've already inquired him about BREW were he present or able to be located."

"Oh." Well that makes him feel awful. Great. "Uh. Sorry about that."

"Alright, great, so he's out of the running. Who's the other guy who knows his shit. You said there was two." Karkat is very carefully not paying attention to the processing.

"It's fine. You're currently lacking details."

The scanner dings, but first. "It's possible that perhaps a Witch would know some details... Speaking to them, however, is another matter." Glancing down, Naoto nodded. "It appears you are a Weapon."
redregrets: (what?)

[personal profile] redregrets 2013-04-16 06:48 pm (UTC)(link)
"A witch?" He knows the Sburb class Witch but he's pretty sure that's not what is meant here.

A weapon, huh? He guesses that's more useful. "Uh, okay." He's still not sure what to make of this news. "Does that mean I have to throw myself down a flight of fucking stairs, because I think I'd rather avoid that."

"Yes. They're females who have powers often destructive. Apparently, they're affected by the 'Sway of Magic' which results in their violent nature. They take out their violence on innocent people of course."

Naoto shook her head. "That is the fastest way, but not the prescribed. It's a matter of mind. With some practice, it will become second-nature... without the need to put yourself in harm's way."
redregrets: (AT LEAST TRY TO USE YOUR THINK PAN)

[personal profile] redregrets 2013-04-17 03:24 pm (UTC)(link)
"Okay, so more enemies. Great. Is there anything that doesn't want to kill us here?"

Thank god. He really did not want to have to deal with that. "A matter of mind? Like, am I supposed to picture myself as a weapon or something?"
pishirogane: Icon by: <user name=pishirogane> (Normal expression)

[personal profile] pishirogane 2013-04-17 04:32 pm (UTC)(link)
"It will mainly be the Witches or Kishin eggs attempting to kill us. There are a few unknown factors present as always."

No doubt, some Weapons did regret that decision later after they found out they could transform without falling. "Yes. You already know what form you take. All that matters is making your conscious aware and then shifting."
redregrets: (glare)

"Of course. That just sounds fucking delightful. Sign me up!" This sucks. He already has a war he's fighting in he doesn't need another.

"You make it sound really fucking easy. I'm good at using a sickle. That doesn't mean I'm good at transforming into one. And it's no good if I can transform now anyway, because I need to find some asshole to swing me around. Who even knows if they'll know how to use a sickle properly." Huff. It's his weapon and he's good at using it.

She'll wait for him to finish again. Really, she didn't recall the last Karkat being like this, but then again, that one hadn't been so fresh off the arrival train.

"Transformation isn't supposed to come immediately. I've been here for over six months so it's become second hat. Again, it will take a few days or so to understand transforming fully. If you become impatient, the stairs are still there." She sighed. "And unfortunately, that's how it is here. You'll need a partner if you want to do any real damage to a Kishin egg or Witch."
redregrets: (not quite out for the count)

[personal profile] redregrets 2013-04-17 06:36 pm (UTC)(link)
"Six months! Oh god, look, I can't be here that long. It'll all be over by the time I get back if I'm here for six months! That's too long!" No no no this is not happening. His friends need him. "When do I get to do shit to help out with the war?" Because he's determined if he can't beat them he needs to join them. If they win this war, he'll be able to live and help his friends win theirs. That means he's got to help Death City win as fast as possible.
pishirogane: (Cool stare)

[personal profile] pishirogane 2013-04-17 08:06 pm (UTC)(link)
"Helping out requires a partner or looking around the city and seeing what precisely is being offered. For the prior, I again suggest morning training, but you may also use the network to place an inquiry to Meisters if they're looking for a Weapon."

Naoto doesn't have much else to say on the matter. Unless Karkat was interested in attending classes at Shibusen, training would cover the basics.
redregrets: (Default)

[personal profile] redregrets 2013-04-17 09:07 pm (UTC)(link)
"...Alright. Thanks for the help." Training he can deal with. Finding a partner might be tough. He's not sure if they'll be a meister here who's even tolerable.
pishirogane: (Good day...)

[personal profile] pishirogane 2013-04-17 09:16 pm (UTC)(link)
"You're welcome. If you have anymore questions, don't hesitate to ask."

She nodded to him slightly, almost like a bow, but with a tip of her hat. He would find plenty of people willing to help in the mixture of those looking simply to bother or befuddle.
redregrets: (Default)

[personal profile] redregrets 2013-04-17 09:27 pm (UTC)(link)
He nods back. He doesn't have a hat to tip, though. "I will." Now he's got to go and figure out this city. Gulp.
