[The sirens have sounded; it's nighttime. At first, nothing is visible on the video transmission. The screen is completely black, though the sound is working well enough. Scraping. Short, repetitive noises... Like something is being gnawed. There’s a brief pause in the noise, and suddenly the NV’s camera picks up on several rows of glinting teeth; ( Read more... )

[Having scouted around for the last week, taking in the lay of the land and the people in it, Gin was finally bored ( Read more... )

[The video link clicked on to show a silver-haired man in a pristine white uniform; he didn't seem distressed at this unexpected world change, on the contrary he was smiling. Widely.

His voice is nonchalant, and almost deceptively mild.]Now that ain't nice, taking someone who was busy someplace else. Did yo' mother never teach ya any manners ( Read more... )

[It's dark, and Gin's video cuts on to the sight of bricks flying by, dizzyingly fast. Something's chasing Gin, and he turns, a short blade gleaming in his hand. There's a brief flash of what he's fighting: something short and squat and canine, the front half of its face a mess of ropy growths.]

[the video feed shows a slow pan around a small, unlit apartment in the Towers, with Axel's voice coming in the background; he's obviously holding the phone.

Are you humans this excitable all the time? Do you always play this music?

And Mr. Man On A Horse, where can I get this Old Spice? I think I know a man who needs to smell like

[A wild tumble to the ground causes the NV to turn on, laying on its side to capture the shot of one area the baseball diamond and away from the owner of the device.

And so this is to be my new home, a dark and unsanitary city in the middle of nowhere. It's a not a dome, at the very least. I can be grateful for that. But still...it's lacking. What sort of world made by the Creators can be so devoid of technology? Even Romdeau was better than this.

[A sigh.] Oh well. Beggars can't be choosers, right? This ( Read more... )

[Isshin pokes about at the NV for a while, then leans back. He's wearing his Shihakushou, with his zanpakutou hanging down at his side.
