Characters: Volunteers, Newcomers and OPEN for mingling!
Location: All Around Death City
Rating: Varies
Time: June 6th, All Day
Description: Welcome to Death City!



BREW's at it again. After powering up, giving energy readings on the night of the 5th 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 6th. 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.

The sun is laughing high in the sky as temperatures soar to 110 degrees F. The air wobbles in the distance, and many citizens are drinking plenty of iced tea and lemonade to cool down. One group of children has popped open a fire hydrant and are playing in the spraying water before the police arrive to give them trouble.

No doubt the new arrivals are confused... let's give them a warm welcome, shall we? But not too warm- stay hydrated and cool, everyone!

And new guys? Welcome to the desert.


[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!]

[...oh. This should be a treat. Minatsuki had been walking around as well, trying to find some plants she could use for her room when she suddenly caught this guy walking around. She wouldn't have even batted an eye at him if it weren't for that stupid haircut he was sporting. But even more so was the fact that he was complaining about the guys taking his money. It just made her stop and stare for a moment, with her crossing her arms and standing in this guys way. Sure, she looks cute for a moment, but...]

...oi. What the hell are you complaining about? Don't you know the saying "work your way up"? Did you really expect they'd make things this easy for you?

[She starts to frown a bit, but she actually waves her hand off dismissively at him.] Looks like you're shit out of luck for now. Someone could probably throw you a bone, but if you're expecting me to, then you might as well eat a dick.

[unbreakably]

[ Oh, hey, another girl! That one looks just as-- ... fr.. iendly... until the moment she opens her mouth, that is. Josuke is just completely struck silent for a moment, he doesn't even know how to deal-- do girls really speak that way?! No way, right, even if Yukako was pretty crazy she at least didn't talk like this! What's up with this girl?!

And since Josuke is so.. Josuke, his shock immediately appears in his expression too. He doesn't know how to deal.. ]

Uuhhh.. [ HE LITERALLY DOESN'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY. OR HOW TO DEAL. WHERE'S OKAYASU TO YELL TO WHEN YOU NEED HIM. ] A-are you feeling okay?!

[vulgaris]

[...well, if she couldn't spot a dumbass from a mile away, she would be shit out of luck and possibly out of a job in that case. Still, her expression doesn't seem to lighten up one bit. Instead, it actually grows a bit more annoyed as she walks up to him, staring at his face.]

...what? You never encountered someone like me before? Let me tell you a little lesson, Hair wonder, [oh dear lord] if you're going to get accustomed to this place, you need to learn that there's going to be asshole girls like me out there, and there ain't much you can do about it.

And like hell I'm okay, does it look like I'm feeling all alright in my brain?

[unbreakably]

[ ... Oh no.. Minatsuki, you said the one thing you shouldn't say! Of course he doesn't pay any attention to the rest of what she's saying anymore when he hears that insult, instead his face twists in a huge frown, his expression darkening so much. ]

What the fuck did you say about my hair?!

1/2

[vulgaris]

[...ah...!? Her eyes widened up a bit in shock at what just happened. Did this guy suddenly just grow a pair or something? Sure, Minatsuki was going to give him more sass when it came the time, but she knew if she continued, she was probably going to get socked. And she did not want that on her, oh no. So...she eyes the boy for a minute...]

[vulgaris]

...mister...can't you tell I was only joking...? You didn't have to say such a mean thing to me in the first place...

[She started to sniff, feeling tears coming into her eyes as she looked up at him, with a look of "please don't hurt me". But inside, she was hoping to god this would get her out of him punching the daylights out of her.]

...s...so please don't take what I said to heart so bad...I...I promise I won't do it again... [It was then the water works began to fall from her eyes, as she began to bawl.]

[unbreakably]

[ Josuke here was about ready to punch her over it - normally he wouldn't punch a girl, but she hardly even seems like a girl to begin with, and talking about his hair just.. triggers his rage which is basically a blind rage he can't snap from..

... But he's never had this kind of reaction before. And that actually does manage to make him snap out of it and blink in confusion. Wait, what, wasn't this girl being rude as shit just now, why is she suddenly like a normal girl?! What happened?! There's no way he can punch someone like this in good conscience, right?!

He's totally freaking out here, oh god, Josuke Higashikata, what have you done.. ]

W-- wait, don't cry! Shit, I-- I.. my hair's just a sensitive point, okay?! I won't hurt you, s-so just don't cry!

[vulgaris]

[She begins to calm down a bit, wiping the tears that had been rolling down from her eyes, looking up at him with a bit of wibble to her mouth as she tries to speak once more.]

...so...I should not talk to you about your hair, then...? I'm sorry, I was just saying that it looked really cool...but...I guess it sorta came out wrong...I'm sorry about that. It won't happen again, I promise!

[Inside of her mind, she's practically laughing her ass off. She can't believe she was able to turn the tables on this guy so quickly...seriously, she was the only one who was able to be pull this sort of shit off in the first place. And especially against this weirdo.]

...so...um...are we okay now...?

[unbreakably]

[ How can she change so suddenly?! Is this what she's actually like and the rest is some front, or.. which way is it, which way?! He can't just figure this out, where's Jotaro when you need him...?! ]

Uh.. y.. yeah! We totally are, so it's okay, right?! No need to cry anymore! [ Good job, making a girl cry on your first day.. ] Besides, you're right, my hair is totally cool..!

[vulgaris]

[Great, because she's totally sick of the tears coming out of her eyes. As soon as he says those words, her face totally switches back to what it once was when she encountered this guy.]

Great, looks like that act totally saved me from a walloping. [She says, sticking a hand on her hip and pressing a finger into Josuke's chest.] You're a little asshat that falls for this shit way too easily, huh?

[unbreakably]

[ ............

A moment ago she was all cute and normal.. and now she's right back to this. For a moment he literally doesn't understand it, he just stares, but then he's slowly starting to get what happened here.. oh no, he doesn't like that. Although he doesn't move to hit her or anything, he definitely looks pissed. ]

Do you always lie to people like that just to get away from shit?

[vulgaris]

Not all the time, only when I really feel like it, y'know?

[So she says, digging into her pockets and bringing out a little juicebox that she begins to sip.] No, really, I'm totally sorry about calling your hair...okay, you know what, I ain't even gonna comment on it no more. Looks cool enough, okay?

Also, you new here or something? Otherwise you wouldn't be complaining about money so much.

[unbreakably]

[ AS IF HE'S GOING TO BELIEVE YOU NOW, MINA! Anything you say could be a lie and he knows it, so while he hopes that part about his hair is genuine, he's cautious about it and just decides to not go for it either.. he'll just flip out if she insults it again either way. ]

Yeah, just arrived this morning. [ He shoved his hands into his pockets. ] What's it to you?

[vulgaris]

[She pauses for a bit, her eyes squinting a bit as she looked up at his face. Sheesh, she didn't think he'd be super tall, she's...well, she's hardly even at his shoulder. So, she's just walking up closer to him, patting his chest.]

You know, you could always tell a newbie when they're complaining about money in a place like this. [She tilts her head.] And they look lost as shit. But hey, welcome to...uh. Shit, what the fuck was this place called...erm. It's something retarded, I just can't remember what the hell...

[unbreakably]

Death City. That's what they said back there, anyway, not like I know a lot about this place. Don't even know where to find a decent place to get some ramen.. [ .. but at that he seems to realise his lack of a wallet once more, and he just ends up sighing, looking down at her. ] Guess it doesn't mean anything without money though.

[vulgaris]

[Minatsuki slaps her forehead as she finally remembers.] Right, I remember now when I first heard it, I thought it was going to be a place full of blood and shit, but it turns out it's just a normal city with some oddball features to it. Heh, and I thought I was going to be in for the time of my fucking life.

[But she paused, digging into her pockets and bringing out another juicebox, slapping it against the guys chest and offering it up to him.] Minatsuki Takami, by the way. Pleasure to be acquainted with your unlucky ass.

[unbreakably]

[ This girl is still too weird. HE'LL NEVER GET USED TO IT, DAMN YOU, MINATSUKI.. ]

The name's Josuke Higashikata, dunno how I should take that second part though. [ :| What happened to "nice to meet you"?! ] Besides, what're you saying, it's better that this isn't some weird kinda place full of blood, right? It's already bad enough that there's a war going on.

[vulgaris]

[DON'T EVEN TEMPT HER RIGHT NOW, JOSUKE. She's merely just laughing at what he just said right now.]

Are you fucking kidding? I would have gotten a kick out of there being a bloody death battle going around then this war. Then again, this is also pretty exciting too, I'm not going to lie at all. [She smirks, still trying to shove the juice box into his face.] Trust me, though, after a while, you'll get used to it. Tell me, are you one of the "heroes" back where you're from?

[unbreakably]

[ .. Why.. is there.. a girl who enjoys blood talking to him.. is she one of the bad guys here?! But she's fighting on the same side as him, right?! Man, this is way too complicated, sadistic people can't be good people but she still is a good person?! Or not?! Someone please bring him back to the land of shounen moralities. ]

What do you even mean, "heroes"? Not like I'm some old man from a legend.

[vulgaris]

Not like that! I meant were you the type who went out and wanted to protect people, you know, shit like that. Feh, how old are you, anyways? I'm seventeen, and you look like you're in your mid-twenties or something.

[Don't mind her, she's always just babbling nonsense like this all the time. Or at least to someone she doesn't like, anyways.]

[unbreakably]

Hey, I'm sixteen!

[ .. Wait, it probably wasn't for the best to blurt out that she's actually older than him.. but then again, it's not like he wants her to think he's some old weirdo either-- it's like it sucks no matter which way you turn it?! This is probably the curse of his life.. ]

And sure, I protect people back home. Nothing weird 'bout that, right? If people aren't strong to fight for themselves, someone else's gotta do it.

[vulgaris]

Whoa, you're younger than me? Heh, something must have went wrong with someone back in the day... [So she says, examining her nails more close, picking at them...]

Yeah, there's nothing wrong with it, and I'm not saying that it's weird or anything, it's just...feh. I could do a hell of a lot better than just "protecting" people. You know, protecting people and making bloodbaths, that sounds super awesome, right?

[unbreakably]

[ .......................

Just.. giving her a stare for that last part. ]

Are you kidding me?! Sure, I can get you sometimes have to beat up the bad guys good before you can be done with 'em, but it's not like you should intend to make a bloodbath, that shit's just gross!

[vulgaris]

[Don't look at her like that Josuke you'll make her cry again.

Aha yeah right.]

...what, can't a girl have a little bit of fun, sometimes? Sure, it'd be nice to get away scotch free and without a bruise, but it's no fun if the other party isn't all fucked up to begin with. I mean, that sort of shit is pretty fun, once you think about it.

[unbreakably]

[ HE WON'T FALL FOR THE TRICK TWICE, OKAY!! .. Well, maybe he might, Josuke's too much of a good guy.. ]

See, that's what I don't get! Sure, there's some fun in fighting if you're just sparring or whatever, but a fight to the death isn't exactly what I'd call "fun" or some shit like that.
