Mercury Black
15 March 2016 @ 12:02 am
[ The feed begins in a dark room - there's moonlight through a window somewhere offscreen, but not much else to illuminate the feed. There's not much to look at - a simple folding chair is all that's really in view for a little while, though there's the sound of shuffling footsteps in the background for a moment. Finally, a figure makes its way to the front of the camera. A giant, heart-shaped figure.

That's right. It's Huggy Heart.

He gives the camera a happy little wave before turning a bit, shifting back and forth as the person inside gets to work on taking the costume off. It's not a fast process - the stupid thing was pretty cumbersome - but eventually he manages to get the zipper in the back open, and with a bit more shifting around the costume falls to his feet.

Mercury stands there, hair a bit mussed and in a plain black t-shirt rather than his usual jacket. ]


Whew! That thing was not built for comfort.

[ He kicks the costume aside dismissively, falling back into the chair with his legs splayed out. ]

It was nice getting out and about for a while, though. That carnival was...

[ His smirk falls a bit. ]

Well, let's be honest. Pretty lame. Decent food, but not much else going for it. Didn't really wow me. Three out of ten at best. What I'm getting at here is that I'm bored.

[ He leans forward, elbows resting on his knees, narrowing his eyes at the camera as he lowers his voice. ]

Me and boredom are a baaaaad mix. Some of you might remember that! So consider this a heads-up that I'm going to be hitting the streets again. No more costumes, no more sneaking around. That lost its luster a while back. Just me and a few cities worth of friendly faces to mingle with. Can't wait to meet some of you face-to-face.

[ He leans back again, crossing one leg over the other - his pants and boots, at least, are the same as usual. His expression returns to his usual smirk, tone casual. ]

All that aside, anyone know any good jokes? Come on. Make me laugh.

[[ OoC: Ling is in black, Greed is in red, have fun with these two! ]]

[ The feed clicks on to show what initially looks like a pair of twins wearing the same battered and torn clothing. The boys are both staring at the camera, frowning as if they’re not sure if they’ve gotten it to work. ]

Yo, there really anyone out there that can hear us on this thing? It’s supposed to work like a phone, right?

Do you think that light means it’s on? It wasn’t there earlier and you clicked something.

Maybe. Why do we gotta use yours though, I bet mine works better.

Because I’m the prince. Whatever I have is always better. [A beat.] No, actually, I don’t think there’s any difference.

Damn, you’ve gotten quite the mouth on you now. Wonder where that came from, Ling. [ The one who just spoke is rubbing his head while staring at the other, albeit with a bit of a smirk on his face. ]

Spending all that time with someone like you might have changed me permanently. [Like he wasn’t kind of a brat before Greed happened.] Anyway, what should we even ask from this phone?

Well, seein’ if there’s anyone else from Amestris here is a start. Better hope we don’t run into the wrong people though, I’ve had enough of my ‘family’ for one lifetime let alone the many I’ve gone through.

It’s a risk we have to take since if you’re alive, who says the others aren’t. [Ling sighs. Just as they got through the battle. Then again, this wasn’t supposed to be possible in the first place.] While at it, let’s ask for some food.

Now that I can agree to, but you could make it not sound like a bad thing that I’m back. You know you missed me, you little brat. [ The shit-eating grin he’s wearing just speaks for itself now, or at least Greed hopes it does. ]

I liked it better when you were inside me, actually. Seeing my face look like that is kind of disturbing. [That’s said with a total deadpan.]

Sure, keep tellin’ yourself that. [ He finally turns to the camera again. ] Anyway, if any of you out there can hear us then maybe you can tell us what the hell’s going on here. And if any of you are from Amestris, better speak up because we wanna know if we’re the first ones here or not.

        Video;

[With the warm weather slowly returning, Rikku is able to wear her default outfit more often now, so in celebration of this...]

Ah! This weather is getting a lot better which means.... Summer is around the corner! There's not much that we can do now, but I never had a chance to throw that beach party last year! So~ That means I'm definitely going to make that a thing soon! First we have to wait for it to warm up more.

But until then, would anyone be interested in going swim suit shopping with me? And maybe I can come up with more ideas for the party! I'll get back to you guys with an actual date later, so count on that!

Also, if anyone has any magic specialties, I was looking for someone who might be able to help me recreate something from back home.

[With that, she give a cheeky grin and wave goodbye for now.]


        Action;

[Anyone near her home in Everglade might notice a mass of parts and tools lying around. After talking to a few people about engineering and machinery, she seems to have gotten back into the mood to create machina. Anyone is free to come check out what exactly this incomplete machina even is. If that doesn't catch your attention than this probably will. Although it's far from complete, it's hard to miss the giant sphere support. She's currently working on a piece in order to work properly but it's clear from the grease on her cheek and hands that she's hit some sort of road block.]

Tysh! Fryd ys E cibbucat du tu du nalnayda ed? Fyc ed cusa cund uv sykel? Syopa E cruimt ryja duug y lmucan muug yd dra cdyteis eh Luca.....?

[She probably won't notice anyone watching and anyone nearby, but she has another creation that seems to be zipping around Everglade. Anyone is free to follow it back to her home.

Translation: *Damn! What am I supposed to do to recreate it? Was it some sort of magic? Maybe I should have took a closer look at the stadium in Luca.....?]

[It's been a while since Gou has made an appearance on the network, but now she comes with a question and possible job offers.]

Hi everyone. If you don't know who I am, my name is Kou [Nagisa you better not ruin it, you little shit] and I wanted to ask a few things regarding my business.

First of all, I was wondering if there's anyone here who's into fashion design that would be interested in a job. If you don't know already, I own the Sametobi SC in Genessia, located on 16th Iris Avenue. I know I started it at a strange time, but with summer coming up soon enough, I've been thinking of possibilities and I was interested in hopefully making a shop for anyone who's looking for any swim gear. So while I don't know how reliable shops are with swim suits, I was hoping there was someone out there that would be interested in making some for that purpose.

Second of all, due to a few circumstances, I'm in dire need of help. I thought I could hold it off on my own, but one of my friends has left and the other can no longer perform his duties for personal reasons. That's why I'm offering a few positions. If you're interested in any of them, feel free to contact me and we'll set up a time and date to meet for an interview. I'll also allow walk in interviews for anyone interested for the next few days.

I really need someone who would be interested in coaching. That's the most important one, but I would also love someone for the front desk. And since I'm thinking of expanding the business to include a store eventually, I'm looking for one or two people to work there as well as a designer. There's also spots open for maintenance and cleaning that would be most appreciated.

[Please send help. This girl is about to pass out from all of this work soon, even if she's playing it off like she's totally okay right now. She's in over her head.]

And since I'm on the subject, I'd just like to remind everyone that there is a swim club if anyone is interested in joining. Feel free to stop down here at any time and sign up. Until then, let me know or come and visit me.

Thank you for your time.

[She'll end it with that note as she goes back to killing herself with a lot of work.]

[Ending up in Genessia isn't exactly a Cool Funtime Experience™, but it's not like there aren't resources—the pamphlet, the money, the informative hologram... While disorienting, with a little coping time it's not too hard to get on your feet.

Or you could stubbornly decide to not wear the necklace, leave the videophone untouched, and ignore the advice about the Home for Children. That's also definitely a thing you could do, if you wanted to make things hard for yourself. You know, hypothetically!

In related news, there's someone in a huge suit of armor settled at a far table on the top floor of the library with a large stack of books. After skimming through each one (still wearing his helmet and both gauntlets, the weirdo), he sets it to the side, finally getting up and switching them out for a fresh stack once he's finished. Rinse, repeat! It seems like he's methodically working his way through the section on physical sciences with no signs of slowing down. Or bathroom breaks. Talk about dedication.]
 
 
Yugi Mutou
15 March 2016 @ 08:05 pm
[Yugi was dealing with the device, setting it up. At least that was until someone or somepokemon managed to grab it, if only for a moment. They wantd to see the people that usually appeared on the magical device. However Yugi was quick to grab it.]

Now Chespin, you do not snatch. Got it?

[He soon held the device as he sat down, causing Chespin to move and sit down on his lap for the time being.]

Okay you can sit there while I talk to everyone.

[As Chespin seem happy and content, Yugi had managed to reach over and hold his duel disk in his hands. He had really missed wearing it and it was the reason he was making a public post that wasn't about the tragic thing that happened the month before. At least he was moving on... Sort of.]

Now that Chespin here isn't trying to steal the device again, I wanted to make an announcement. Back home, I would play a game called Duel Monsters. It's... honestly quite a complicated game, but can be extremely fun. [When the world wasn't in danger obviously.]

Because of that, I was planning on giving lessons on the game and how to play it, maybe in the future even teaching someone how to make there own deck to suit them. [It didn't seem like much but since seeing Kaiba here made him think about ding this kind of thing even more.]

If you are at all interested, have questions or would like a demonstration, I'll be happy to show you or answer those questions. [As he talked he had put his duel disk on his arm. It just felt right being there for the moment.]

Just let me know, okay? [With a sweet smile he was going to switch off the device and see if anyone would be interested.]
