soul_logs | [OPEN] June 2013 Introduction Log

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!]

[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.]

[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?

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?

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.]

I see...

[Is that really a technique soldiers use? Eh, best not to dwell on it just yet.]

Oh! Are you new here?

[Hope you don't mind that he's smoking, Fujino.]

You could say that. Never been to this part of the world.

Is that so? Then-

[Cough! Oh gdit, second-hand smoking noooo.]

Where are you from?

Nowhere really. Just not here.

[God, now he's coughing too, thanks.]

[Only because his smoking started it. Watch that second-hand smoking, geez!]

Ahhh. [Okay so probably a new person, then. Also, have moar coughing!] Well, to begin with, we are in Death City, Nevada. I don't know how much you've been briefed on, but if there's any questions you have, I'll try and answer them to the best of my abilities.

[Putting out his cig because IT TOTALLY BETRAYED HIM.

And stuffing it back into the carton.]

So this is America. Looks different from the last time I saw it.

Oh? Haven't had the chance to visit it- or well, back home at least, but the place does seem to be pretty unique.

And, about what you said on the battlefield...you must be an experienced soldier, then?

Something like that.

[Ever so vague.]

Why are you asking?

Curiosity. I have a friend who's also one.

[Although she doesn't know the connection between Raiden and this guy.]

Have you gotten your soul checked yet?

[He's rather not meet said friend. Especially if it's Raiden HARHARHAR.]

I had to. Called me a meister or master or something.

A meister, huh. [Oh good, that means she doesn't have to figure out how to work the x-ray.] So I take it you already know what to do as one of them.

Let's say I didn't know. What's next?

[Fujino codec frequency let's go.]

[190.09, I mean--]

Well, you'd have to either find a partner that's a weapon or vice versa in order to go out on a mission. You can find them at anytime if you look around, but it's better to go to morning training, since there's an organized section to do that.

[He's expecting a bunch of kiddies pretend at playing war for morning training.]

Where do they do 'morning training'?

[What if they're overgrown, though.]

In the park! It's not hard to miss- there's tables set up if you want to eat breakfast, and there's also signs indicating the different sections too, along with gear set up for some of the combat-oriented ones.

[Kiddies are kiddies. Like Raiden.]

Sounds more like a family picnic.

I guess you could call it that.

[Awkward laugh, get.]

There's also the teachers, and they can be found in those sections as well.

[Now it's sounding like a class picnic...]

[.....can't deal.]

I wonder if people are taking this seriously enough.

[But Snake, what about teaching these kids how to use boxes!]

They are. [brow raise] Why, are you worried?

[A long silence.]

............no.

Ohhh.

...is there anything else you'd like to know about?
