[Video! It's the pirate. She... doesn't post here too often, and she looks a bit serious again. Tired, still. She really needs to take better care of herself. None the less, she speaks:]

I lose a Captain and get a cat? [a hand hefts up a small spotted gray kitten, currently looking sleepy, like she just woke it up. Dropping back onto her bed and ( Read more... )

[Video comes on and shows Ace, looking almost the same as always: wild black hair, freckles standing out across his cheeks. The biggest difference is that, for once, he's wearing a shirt. The next big difference is that he's about a third of his usual size and a little rounder in the face. The now-ten-year-old pirate muses aloud to the network.]I ( Read more... )

IT'S REALLY A NEW WORLD!!!

[Someone is extremely surprised by this and gaping entirely slack-jawed as he looks at the city. Someone with pink hair and tattered clothes who started to poke at his NV as he went to explore, once freed from the greeters. Just as quickly as he exploded in surprise, Natsu lets out a little sigh and seems to wilt ( Read more... )

[Video begins in an apartment with this goth lolita girl in view from the bottom of the screen. She lifts her NV up over her head with a grin on her face. Oh yes, she loves her new NV already. Her tone begins with a childish squeal from a young girl.]

I was hoping to get back to that island but that's okay. Heehee. What were those things out there ( Read more... )

The media in this world is horribly unpoetic. Nothing of heroes and proper wars or the things of epic poetry. Instead there are... monstrosities.

[Whoops. Someone made the choice to go see the terribad 50's movies late at night-- most likely what he ended up seeing were all the monster movies.]

Monsters. Creatures to be feared and to be hunted.

[ A young girl appears on the video feed, concern written all over her face. ]

Hello. I'm looking for my friends.

They're trapped inside a big creepy looking house. The people on the baseball diamond told me that I can't get back there, but there are monsters inside!

[ She shakes her head. ]I have to find them, and tell them there is a way out ( Read more... )

[The webcam on Brooke's laptop comes into focus and a skeleton with an Afro can be seen fiddling with the keys as he sits in the center of the baseball diamond.  He has an unsheathed cane sword on his lap that seems to have seen some action this evening.  Upon noticing that his webcam is working again Brooke straightens his bow-tie and beams at the ( Read more... )

[His body feels cold when he wakes. Cold and sluggish but warming, and breaths are easier than they were the last time he was conscious. Layers of filth coats his skin and clothes, thick, dried blood flaking off as he moves. He can feel it crusted at the corners of his mouth and taste it on his tongue, a strong copper flavor along with ash and ( Read more... )

This is Kurogane. If anyone in this place is serious about working on their skills, I have a place. Too many people drop in with no resolve.. rrf, only take me up if you mean it! I can show sword--

[Another voice butts in:] HOW THE HELL AM I SUPPOSED TO DO YOUR RETARDED MEDITATING IF YOU KEEP TALKING?!Shut up! You're letting yourself lose ( Read more... )

[Ace doesn't offer a wave and his face is serious. There is no lazy, lopsided smile today.]

It's Ace. Those of you who don't know me yet, don't forget. [Fire starts creeping out of his skin as he talks, crawling up his right arm to his neck. He irritatedly swats it only for it to pop up on his left side instead.]Something happened and I'm really ( Read more... )
