[Demyx looks the same as always, except for something pretty interesting happening as he's suddenly sprouted wings from behind.]

So hey, I took a trip to Nova City. It's kinda cool, cause I can hover now!

[He's hovering, it just can't be seen since the phone is pointed at his face.]

Uh, but it didn't stop when I left, so yeah, I guess I have wings now?

[Oh well, probably not something to worry about.]



[Action]

[Demyx is now hovering around Genessia proper, because hovering is fun, even if it's only a few inches off the ground. He doesn't exactly have his sitar though since he can't summon it, but that's a small detail. Seems like he wandered into Nova City and got changed into a fairy, although he didn't get any smaller than he already normally is.]

[Takeru had been here for a good few days now. At least long enough to get somewhat settled, even if he really, really didn't want to. But if things were true he couldn't get out, which worried him. But if there was one thing he was good at it was hiding how he felt when he needed to.

So hiding his concern and worry behind a small smile he switched on the feed, adjusting the hat he brought yesterday slightly.]

I figured I should give my hello's to those I haven't met yet and are in the same boat and it seems like this is the best way to do it. This seems much better than the phone I have if you can talk to multiple people at once.

[Would be useful in other areas when he thought about it and it looked like an interesting phone style choice. Moving a free hand he kept the smile on his face and waved slightly.]

My name is Takeru Takaishi, it's nice to meet you all, or speak to you all, in this case, I guess. [He paused for a moment. He was sure that he at least introduced himself, but what else was there to say? Or maybe ask? Would these people understand? He seemed quiet for a little too long before he finally decided what he wanted to say.]

Was it strange for most people to come from one season to here which is a completely different season? [Yep, that was what he was going for.] I mean coming from summer or October nearly Halloween is a really odd jump for me. I mean not really complaining too much about it because October is a good month, I guess except here from what I've seen since I arrived. I like scary stuff but not when it's trying to kill me.

[Way to use to that much.] Which reminds me, I still didn't fully thank someone who helped me. If I can ever find them.

[As he said the last part the feed was switched off.]

Action; All Cities
[When Takeru could get around what was going on in Genessia he found himself exploring each and every city. At least one city a day so he could get his bearings about them all and figure out what he was going to do while stuck here while everyone else was back at home.]

 [Radec has stealthed his way through certain areas before, but nothing could stop him from running into various monsters while stealthed.]

[Genessia City]

The Helghast is already having to unstealth his way through a chaotic monster area and is already slashing his way through certain monsters. So much for a normal day here.

[He had a job but today he was wearing his armor just because.]

"Anybody run into monsters as well?"

Action (Genessia City - Late Night)

He wouldn't have been taken by surprise by the hulking, two-legged werewolves when his feet hit the concrete outside the Bay if his senses weren't accosted by so many unfamiliar scents. It hadn't taken a pamphlet to convince the lythe auburn-haired young man he'd been taken very far from home. He'd left his club, fully anticipating the scent of the northern Pacific Ocean to fill his heightened sense of smell, but had instead been overcome by a strange fatigue.

He'd awoken in a coffin surrounded by water that smelled strangely chemical. He'd glanced over the pamphlet but other strange smells had drawn him curiously to the surface. The snarling animal slammed into him as soon as the street lamps on the street level filled his too-sensitive brown eyes with their stinging, momentary blindness, and the beast's momentum caught him at a bad angle, sending them both tumbling to the ground. Survival instincts kicked in and Luther rolled back to his feet faster than a human eye could track, dilated pupils causing his brown eyes to appear black in the light overhead. His lips curled back from slightly curved fangs in a hissing snarl. The werewolf was back on its feet too, growling menacingly before launching at him again, but this time Luther was ready, easily side-stepping the wolf before looking around for some sort of weapon. It looked like something out of a horror movie (a bad one) but that didn't mean Luther wanted to risk hurting the thing. Who knew what might be going on with the beast.

Instead, he ran as the werewolf attempted to right itself (vampires were exceptionally good at running, and a few blocks down jumped to the third story fire escape of the nearest building, paying no mind to who might be in there, or whether it was a business or an apartment. He just needed to put some distance between whatever was prowling the streets and himself until he could sort things out.

(OOC: If you'd like to action, I'm down with you stepping in at any point in that little exchange, including he invaded your apartment/home :) I'm down with prose or bracket spam!)

( video )

[The young man, clean cut and cleaned up a bit from his rough introduction to the city, seems a lot calmer and completely normal when the video feed initializes. There's a cool charisma to his words when he speaks, even if the topic seems a little strange.]

Hello, everyone! Sorry for the late hour, but this place doesn't seem to run on a schedule. Your welcome committee could use better manners, by the way.

[And he assumes you all know what he's referring to.]

Now, I vaguely remember some sort of recorded message talking about Genessia, giving directions, and being altogether welcoming, and cute, but I was a little busy running from a rabid werewolf to pay complete attention. I'd really appreciate a fill-in.

[He pauses briefly, smiles, and makes a little wave with his free hand.] I'm Luther, by the way. I hope we can all get along.
