EVENT: The Great BREW Malfunction Pt 1 [OPEN]

[soul_mods]

Characters: Everyone and anyone
Location: Anywhere in Death City!
Rating: PG-13
Time: Starting July 14 after 11am to July 15
Description: ...something strange is going on here.

At some point, something strange begins to happen. People start randomly disappearing. Sometimes they reappear immediately after and they may not even notice, but sometimes there's a noticeable lag between their disappearance and their reappearance.

Sometimes, they don't even reappear in the same place!

At least it doesn't seem to be dangerous. Unless you disappeared from your kitchen and reappeared at the other end of the city. In which case, you might want to start running.

Either everything sort of points at this being BREW related (after all, if it were Witches, there would be a lot more danger).

*Auron had also found himself near the stairs but luckily at the bottom so he didn't have a chance to find out his new status just yet. He peers down at the strange looking machina.*

How did you get here?

[unbreakably]

...

Well, I would, but...

[ He's trying so hard to not look at the book. Even though technically he wouldn't be able to see it either way from where he is on the floor, but he's still trying so hard.. ]

T-then I'll.. have to look again.. shit, I can't do that!!

[motherofthesun]

[She doesn't know if he's really helping by climbing the tree too, but can't really voice this. Ammy can, however, bark as the tree begins to lean somewhat towards the side the both of them are on.]

[ritsu_kouyou]

[Well now. That would be Akiha having the worst temper tantrum while stuck as a credit card ever. If Amaterasu had still been a Meister, the things she would have felt as Akiha was so angry she was actively trying to tap into her BREW suppressed demon blood. Anything.

When that didn't work because of BREW being the dick it seemed to be right then, Akiha internally grit her teeth, narrowed her eyes and used every bit of willpower she had to refuse to be stuck as a card. Which meant a few minutes after picking the card up, Amaterasu would suddenly find her teeth on Akiha's side, tearing through the fabric as her weight ripped it.

Gross. Oh so gross, being covered in dog slobber. And her blouse was now ruined.

That meant once her feet were under her, she lunged at Amaterasu, trying to tackle her into the ground.]

I am not something to ever put in your mouth!

[She mad.]

good.

[peacocked]

[he loosens his hold on her wrist, but doesn't let go of it. it would probably be better for them in the long run if she at least knew where he was. though really, it is a good thing she can't see him. not that he's blushing or anything because that would horrendously be out of character for him!! nope, water u talkin' bout lewis? anyway--]

It's quite alright. Just... try not to do it the next time. [the only thing that suffered was his pride.]

Okay! And I assume Naoto's not coming in until a bit later?

[vintage_magic]

[Inside the soul space, Lily swore. Not again. This was already what, the fourth or fifth time today?]

[And it was Kanji, too! With how he had talked of him and Naoto going out to hunt a witch soon, she hated to think of what he might think if he opened the book, saw the spells upon her pages.]

[She hoped he would just put her down on the counter and not try to open her, leaving it for a non-existent mystery customer who had dropped it.]

[motherofthesun]

[Well, at least she wasn't biting down hard, but yes, that would be wolf slobber coating Akiha's side now.]

[She blinked at the appearance of the other girl and realized that the card was a Weapon. What a truly strange form... She yelped as she's tackled, hitting her back. Her response is to kick the girl off with her hind paws and hopping back to her feet, growling. This girl was always pushing it.]

[She growled. Excuse her for trying to do something nice! Though, she had a feeling the girl knew little of the word.]

[lezard_valeth]

BREW was a fascinating object. Something so small yet so powerful, they'd say, but Lezard had seen his fair share of immensely-great artifacts one could carry in the palms of their hands.

Yet there he was, staring at a box full of odd holes as he was tempted to seize it, study it in private. Were there keys or tools that enter the holes? Does it open? And if so, what was inside? The authorities swarming about, however, reminded him that he could only be so lucky as to perform tests on it or so much as take it. Lezard was no fool--

His vision was flooded then, the earth shifting beneath his feet. For just a moment, he stood where he swore was the top of his tower, and ahead of him was Loki's path of destruction, augmented by the Dragon Orb. His eyes widened as he pondered if BREW had dismissed him without warning, and here he was planted right back at the moment of--

...Shibusen. Lezard blinked, looked around, and frowned. Inwardly, he sighed his relief and adjusted his glasses. Perhaps he was exhausted and had been seeing things, but he ought investigate this on his own time later. For now, he waited for someone- he looked at a clock on the wall- who was now late.

He needed to visit the apartment again, he thought with a small grin. But the moment the thought entered his mind, he felt something tug behind his navel, and the world around him blurred. The Death Room melted, turned into what he quickly recognized as the interior of Lily's apartment. How in the...?

A grin spread quickly over his face. If he didn't know any better, he'd just performed a teleportation spell of some sort. Did that brief flash of memory have to do with it...?

Park

[draculabackwards]

*Alucard peers at the ground. Who left this book here?*

[peacocked]

[oh, well this is even more alarming!]

I... really? I thought this was all a terrible joke, but... [he trails off.] Yes, I did.

Detective Agency

[draculabackwards]

*Despite how odd today has been, Alucard managed to get back to the Agency in time to maintain his guard post.* Ah, buna, Mello. *At his expression, Alucard adds* Are you all right?

[draculabackwards]

*Alucard is walking back to his apartment after a very odd day and notices a card on the ground.* What's this?

[draculabackwards]

*What is this? First Alucard has a very odd day at the Agency and now he seems to almost trip over nothing. Although it certainly felt solid.*

[niptuck]

... Then it must be a city-wide incident.

[Did something happen at the BREW showing?]

[vintage_magic]

[Well, Lily finds this embarrassing too. But it would be worse if a customer were to walk in and see her on the counter like this before she could manage to change back!]

Maybe, you could just cover your eyes and reach out and close it?

[ritsu_kouyou]

[Kicked off, Akiha rolled up to her feet, one hand still on the ground to steady herself. The growl was disregarded as Akiha locked her eyes onto Amaterasu's. She wasn't backing down, but at least she wasn't being violent anymore.]

Obviously you're not a Meister anymore either or you would've been able to tell you had a hold of me. Open your ears and senses a little more. We can still somewhat feel another Weapon's wavelength.

[Otherwise, how else would Kid's Weapons be able to use each other like they sometimes do?]

[ritsu_kouyou]

[Someone was nearby. Akiha hoped it was a Meister, because she was way too tired of being picked up by other Weapons. She was tired of ending up as this damn card anytime she got angry about BREW messing with things.

She was a Meister for a reason, damnit!

...Alucard might notice there seems to be some wetness on the surface of the card. Wolf slobber to be exact.]

[motherofthesun]

[Amaterasu isn't breaking eye contact. Yes, they can feel each other's wavelength, but Akiha isn't the most prickly thing she's had in her mouth before. So, she snorted.]

[Her tail doesn't change, but she does partially transform if only to dab some soul ink on Akiha's shirt and fix it in a blink.]

We'll hold out until they get to the Agency, then give VG a nudge. :3

[topgun_textiles]

[Kanji's head lifted, searching the store for someone who looked like they'd leave a book like this around.]

Any'a you leave a book here?

[Some eyes turned his way, and one customer shook their head. Primarily they seemed a little bothered to be addressed by the big, abrasive-looking boy, and Kanji grunted under his breath. Whatever, assholes. This is why he stays in the back room most of the time.]

[But despite Lily's inward pleas, he flipped open a page or two, looking for someone's name written in pen or pencil or something. He usually put his name on things he owned, so this too, right? But he didn't find a name. Instead, he found... recipes? But this asked for goat's milk, drowned bats and some other pretty weird stuff. Magic chants, too.]

...One'a those witchy cookbooks. Spooky stuff. Man, only in Death City.

[He tucked the book under his arm, calling to a coworker- "Yo! Gonna head out somewhere real quick! Be right back!" Before he moved on out the door.]

Heh... L-like I need an excuse to visit 'er.

Alucard -- randomly in the streets heading toward Agency -- July 14

[draculabackwards]

*How exactly is it possible that one could be in the Agency, getting ready for work and then abruptly in the street, trying to figure out what just happened.*

Good Lord. *The dhampir takes a moment to regain his balance from a very abrupt appearance.*

[vintage_magic]

[Lily looked up as a shadow fell over her book form. Raidou's partner. It had been a while since she talked to him.]

[She normally wouldn't mind chatting with Alucard but not in this form! Not only was it embarrassing, it was incriminating too with her spells. She hoped if she stayed quiet, he would just think someone had put their book down for a few minutes and leave her alone.]

[ritsu_kouyou]

[Normal credit cards don't have a wavelength. That argument is invalid. But Akiha does look down at the tail flick since it felt weird against her side. Her jaw muscle twitches a bit as she sees her blouse fixed.

Raising her head she sniffs and starts to walk past the wolf.]

I hate this. I'm a Meister, not a Weap--

[OH HELL.

With the flaring of her temper, she poofed into a credit card again against her will, clattering to the ground.

THIS JUST SUCKED.]

[00110010_00110011]

No. Seldom make jokes.

[He's very bad at it.]

Did you feel anything weird?

[motherofthesun]

[Doubt Akiha has carried a plastic card in her mouth before, but okay.]

[Amaterasu watches and woofs, laughing when Akiha turns into a Weapon again. She's not surprised. With a grin and tail still transformed, she draws a circle around Akiha and leaves with the flowers blooming around the girl.]

Okay!

[vintage_magic]

[Lily panicked as he moved to check the first couple of pages. He thought she was just a cookbook? In a way it was a bit of a relief and she was lucky he hadn't landed on a page with her drawing.]

[But then he called out to the other employee and tucked her under his arm, setting off another small wave of panic as he headed out the door.]

[Where the heck was he taking her?! Even if she had the hang of transforming, she couldn't change back now without giving herself away. Which meant that she could only helplessly allow herself to be carried off and hope for a chance to escape later.]
