Mmmmn... it's already that time again, huh?

[Shing sighs a little, looking out to see all the new people causing trouble in/interacting wit hte others in the City.]

I feel like I've been here too long -- I can already tell when people are visiting...

Still... is there anyone out there that I know? You're always welcome to say 'hi'!

--especially those ( Read more... )

Ah--! More people again?!

...oh, wait... they're all still here from yesterday, aren't they.

It's the same as several months ago, too...

[A pause as he seems to be thinking of something.]

Hey... if there's anyone here from my world, you're more than welcome to stop by and say 'hi'. I'd like that...

...especially you, Kohaku. Hisui, too, if you're out ( Read more... )

[The device clicks on, somehow, to a scene of normalcy. Honestly, what could be more normal that two friends on the Network teasing each other?]

...turned into a girl now, too?

[There's a tone of amusement in Shing's voice as he smiles innocently at Yuri.]

Not. A word.

...if it makes you feel any better, you look pretty as one?

No, that doesn't ( Read more... )

[The feed opens to... a view of outer space? What?]

...

[It's quiet. Far too quiet. But at least the view's nice?]

...hello?!

[Or not. The device suddenly starts being jostled around by dust, ice, whatever kind of crap's flying around near it. What's going on?

Finally, the camera's grabbed -- and it turns out that Shing's the one holding onto it ( Read more... )

[There's some shuffling as Shing gets out of bed today -- just a normal day, right?

Except... he notices several things. One -- his clothes are tighter than usual, and two -- he feels as if his body's different. It doesn't take him long to put two and two together and run over to the nearby mirror.

...cue a scream and several yelps of surprise from ( Read more... )

Whoa... hey, everyone, can you see this?

[Shing sounds like... well, he sounds both afraid and a little excited. He points the video camera up to the sky, showing the sky rippling and quivering under the orbs of light that crash into it.]

I don't think I've ever seen anything like this before...

It looks kinda neat, though! But... is this supposed to ( Read more... )

[There's a bit of silence. Then, some awkward shuffling around as two sets of footsteps can be heard moving slowly towards... something.]

Hey, Yuri. You sure this the place?

Of course- checked it out a little earlier. Don't you trust me?

H-hey, I didn't say that! I just wanted to make sure, is all.

This is as sure as we're gonna get. Don't worry- ( Read more... )

I haven't seen Kohaku for several days now...

[Maybe...]

...she's not here anymore, is she.

[Just like Estelle, too... I should be happy that she managed to escape, but... augh, it still kinda stings.]

...

I hope she'll be okay without us.

[I didn't even get to tell her before she left... that I...]

[There's a bit of a smothered sigh as Shing ( Read more... )

((OOC: I'm sorry for the random crack -- the idea of this happening was too much of a lure for me.))

[So, denizens of the City, Shing's been a while, and we've all seen him at his best and worst for the short time he's been here. So nothing can faze you all anymore, right?

WRONG.

This time, there's a certain Shing Meteoryte who's playacting the ( Read more... )

Whoa... wow! I didn't think that the City could get this lively! It's kinda exciting, actually...

...

...but wait. Where'd everyone come from?
