[soul_mods]

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!]

[Snake skipped the entire tour and did some on site procurement.

AKA: See that cardboard box? It sure does look like it moved the last time you checked but its just sitting there innocently. Did you look away again? IT MOVED AGAIN. And that certainly is smoke coming out from the inside of it.

Feel free to.....bother him.]



[Meanwhile, when he's not being bothered by people, he's dialing up a certain person. RAIDEN. He saw the name on the device and BEEP BOOP he has no idea what he's doing PLS ANSWER RAIDEN.]

[sombrero]

[Wow, who's calling him when he's trying to get some sleep? Talk about rude.`

Raiden just checked the caller's ID and saw Snake. Okay, that can't be right. Snake has been dead for years. Raiden thinks he's tired and he's probably just seeing things.

Tldr; he hung up on Snake after checking the ID. ]

[sneakthatshit]

....

Hnnnn...

[Maybe he messed up the voice thing. Now text. But he can't find the punctuation keys! And shift key.]

raiden where the hell am i how do i work this thing

[sombrero]

[Okay, he's more awake now. Kind of.

What is this message? Raiden's still in disbelief and he doesn't think this message is from THE Solid Snake. He's still going to answer the question anyways.]

Death City. What do you even need an explanation on? You seem to be using it well enough. (ノಠ益ಠ)ノ彡┻━┻.

[sneakthatshit]

i cant find all the buttons like on a keyboard

[He can't into phone keyboards.]

where are you at

[sombrero]

No, you. I'm the one who should be asking questions.

Is any of this real? Are you really Snake? I think I'm still asleep and that this is a dream.

[sneakthatshit]

[Oh god, seriously? This again?]

i thought you answered those questions for yourself on the big shell kid

[fujigglephysics]

[Okay boxes don't usually catch her eye (or her interest at all), so she just chalks it off as some form of hallucination from the heatwave for a moment. Of course, when she turns back and looks again only to see it in a different position...well then.

Also what the fuck, is there a fire actually lighting inside of it or something? Yeah, she's definitely gonna peer inside. Hope you like cute and slightly-creepy-looking red eyes, Snake!]

[sneakthatshit]

[Snake just peers back out the hole. This is the part where he gets nervous because if the box is picked up, he's kind of screwed.]

[fujigglephysics]

[W e l p, she can't really tell what's inside, but there doesn't seem to be any light emanating. So, whatever in the heck is making that smoke?

Fujino moves away from view, only to step to the side and check around it. Weird- there's nothing outside that seems to have caused it so she's down to her last resort.

SHE'S PICKING UP THAT BOX, YUP.]

[sneakthatshit]

[YOU KNOW THE DRILL

99.99 ALERT.

I mean, he's kind of startled but he's still sitting there smoking.]

What do you want, kid?

[fujigglephysics]

Ah- !

[What is she supposed to say? How does she even react to this? Nothing in life ever prepared her for something this weird!

In any case, her expression shifts to a really awkward look. Because a man in a cardboard box, whyyy]

Um...pardon me for asking, but why were you in that box?

[sneakthatshit]

A cardboard box will save your life on the battlefield. Never leave home without one.

[Said with an entirely straight face after he stands up.]

[ritsu_kouyou]

[Akiha was heading home after giving her tour and happened to catch sight of a cardboard box near the stairs she was about to head down. She glanced at is as she passed and then stopped at the top of the stairs.

Was that idiot really... Again?

Turning back like she'd forgotten something, Akiha rounded once she was passed the box and kicked it.

She kicked it down the stairs.]

Raiden, you moron, this is not the way to re-enter society post-recovery.

[sneakthatshit]

[Snake rolls with it once and lets the box fly off of him. Thank god cardboard is light as air.

But he's still sitting there on a step, not looking pleased. He doesn't fall down stairs like a certain idiot.]

Do I look like that kid?

[ritsu_kouyou]

[Arms crossed, Akiha was prepared to give Raiden her death glare. Only it wasn't Raiden. It was some unshaven man wearing a bandana. Who wears a bandana?]

You both have questionable fashion sense, poor taste in concealment techniques, but I'm fairly certain Raiden can't grow a beard yet.

[sneakthatshit]

[He gets up to grab his wayward box and he breaks it down.]

Kid, a cardboard box will save your life.

[ritsu_kouyou]

I'm fairly certain a cardboard box will never save my life. Spare me the rhetoric; I've already heard the uses of cardboard boxes in combat bit from Raiden.

[sneakthatshit]

Raiden's just a kid. He hasn't learned enough to teach yet.

[Yep. ROOKIE.]

Making use of all resources is the sign of a good soldier. But hnnnn....

[Don't mind him as he gives you a look over, Akiha.]

...Japanese, huh?

[evokes]

[This is probably the weirdest sense of deja vu Minako has ever felt in her entire life. She really hopes that this is Raiden because WHY WOULD THERE BE ANOTHER PERSON THAT THINKS THIS IS A GOOD IDEA?!]

Someone please tell me that's Raiden in the cardboard box again...

[sneakthatshit]

Hnnnnnnnn.

[That's not Raiden's voice coming out. But hearing a familiar name...yeah. He's looking for Raiden but the box doesn't move.]

[evokes]

[OH GOD THAT DEFINITELY ISN'T RAIDEN... Staring at the box now.]

Er... hello? Who's in there?

[sneakthatshit]

....not bad.

[Sorry Minako

but I do believe Snake is checking her out.]

[evokes]
