[A rather grumpy visage can be seen on the communicator, screen as Lethe seems to be mashing buttons at random.]

This is stupid... I hate Beorc devices, I hate Beorc cities, I hate being kidnapped, and for the love of the goddess, I hate not knowing who in the hell is responsible! ... But when I find them... I will tear out their throat if they don't have a good reason for bringing me here.

[A feline hiss comes out of the cat laguz as she throws her communicator on the ground, splashing in the inch deep water.]

...

And I hate my fur getting wet.

(ooc: Enter Lethe! Fire Emblem's very own tsundere catgirl of snark and bark. She's coming just after the events of Radiant dawn's epilogue, where she was in her cozy jungle/forest home, to being dumped here with you folks. Feel free to chat with her through her communicator, or meet her in person at the bay! Warning: Cat bites can be nasty.]

"I will kill you, Chiyo-obaasan and turn you into one of my....", said a gentle childlike voice. His tone was that of cold amusement. When his wide brown eyes opened, he was not in the same cave as the one used by the Akatsuki during extraction. There was more water in this one. And he seemed to be sleeping in what seemed to be a metallic giant egg shell.

When Sasori woke from his slumber within the Bay, he wasn't hidden underneath Hiruko. In fact, Hiruko was nowhere in sight. But in his hand was the scroll for summoning his precious defensive shell. Not that he was Sasori's favorite doll, but still, Hiruko was a very useful puppet. It was not safe for a puppet master to go around in his own body - that was a weakness for them.

So for anybody who would wish to see Sasori in his true form, they'll have to do so while he was in the Bay. The moment he leaves the Bay, he mysteriously disappears like a true shinobi.

[Video]
[After an hour, the feed opens with a masked man wearing a farmer's hat. Only his eyes could be seen, and they perpetually looked angry. The man was haunched and wore a long and large black robe with red clouds on them. He was walking slowly, as if he was old. Behind him was a long metallic tail which swooshed from one corner to another. Every step he took, a bell rang melodically.

He arrived at one end of the block. People were just standing behind him, waiting to cross the street. Clearly the pedestrian light was red. Yet, he just walked forward, ignoring everyone's warning. Each car that threatened to hit him met with his tail and was thrown to the adjacent building or road.

By the time he crossed, the road was a complete mess. It was burning with many people injured. Still no emotion can be perceived from Sasori's eyes.]

I hate waiting...[He said with a low and raspy grunt. His voice different from that when he didn't have Hiruko on.]


((ooc: During the feed, the person people will see is not Sasori, but actually Hiruko. Sasori is conveniently hidden inside. But he will introduce himself as Sasori only with Hiruko's body. I apologize in advance for him.))

[First view people will be getting is of a sign with a picture of a cat eye on it. Why one might be thinking, but it soon become apparent as the device moves back to reveal the wording underneath the sign saying 'The Cat's Eye' It wasn't long until it turns around and Fai appear with his goofy grin across his face.]

Good morning everyone. As you can see my cafe is ready for a grand opening which will hopefully be today. I figured advertising it will be helpful here at least.

[Better than doing something else he figured, if it's easier it's better in his mind.]

Because it's a grand opening the first day is on the house, but... payment would be in the form of spreading the word for me. After today it can come in one of two ways, depending on which I find more useful at the time. If you are curious about what one method of payment is, please contact me in private so I can explain.

[He pauses for a moment, he figured that was all he needed to say right now. He figured anyway.]

I hope to see you all, or at least to the grand opening.

I must have taken a wrong turn somewhere in Sodom and passed out.

[If he weren't so gallantly derpy, it might have been easy to tell he was lying through his teeth. Raiha knew exactly what to do and where to go, before he found himself here. Admittedly he was a little disappointed in this development, he was handling it rather well.]

Is there a clinic anywhere nearby where I woke up?

[He automatically assumed everyone came here this way, for one, and was easiest to ask via common denominator, and two he was rather weakened from his recent use of the madogu Raijin during his fight with Fuuko.

Had this feed not been audio, his wounds would be visible. Of course the public didn't need to know how serious of injuries he had. Raiha wasn't even sure he could trust them.]

Citizens of Genessia, it has been a while, and things have been calming down rather nicely. However, I find myself with increasing amounts of time on my hands. As they say, idle hands are the devil's playground. As such, I think I'm going to begin offering my services and the services of my robots to provide security around the city.

[Private to Dragunov]

Can I interest you in helping me maintain this little undertaking of mine?

(OOC Warning: This character is dangerous. She may eat you if you approach and agitate her.)

Charlotte was soaking wet, her sleeves dragging behind her as she waddled away from the bay. Clenched between her teeth was the communication device which she was now chewing lightly on. Not hard enough to break it but the video had switched on giving anyone watching a very strange view. She was very disoriented.

"Where am I? Where did everything go?" Her words were accented by strange characters that drifted from her as she spoke, though they, like her voice, were a bit distorted due to the device in her mouth. 

"Hungry. Hungry. Cheese. Where are you?" She began moving toward some nearby people, tripping over her own feet and tumbling head over heels, her necklace smacking her in her face.

This wasn't right. This wasn't home... She needed a new home. She needed to make a new home. Somewhere with cheese. Yes... That would be good. Pulling the device out of her mouth, she let it fall to the ground, giving any viewers a clear image as she sat up, manifested a cake, and proceeded to grumpily stuff it into her mouth...

WHO: Death the Kid and Maka Albarn
WHAT: Talking about ~feelings~
WHEN: 8/16 (backdated like whoa)
WHERE: In their apartment
WARNINGS: May contain lethal amounts of Seriousness and Stupidity

[One would think that things would get better after the arrival of Maka's Weapon partner and BFF Soul. Well...that was before Maka spent nearly two hours in the bathroom listening to Kid's wailing about how she's forgotten to groom herself. Soul did his part to keep Kid from barging in and doing the washing of her himself...thank goodness for him. Hopefully this is not something that gets back to her dad.

Speaking of her dad, Maka remembers that she said she would talk to Kid for him. Why she's intent on doing her dad any favors, she doesn't entirely know, but Kid has a lot of responsibility on him now and as his friend and the leader of the team, there has to be open and honest communication with him. And the general message of "hey, I'm here for you."

So after drying her hair (holding off on putting it into her usual pigtails for now) and changing into a new set of clothes, Maka heads out to find Kid--maybe he'll stop being mad at her now that she's fixed up.]
