[ Video - Open to All! ]

((OOC note: Bulma got a water-damaged book from a search that can be partially restored!))

[ The video starts with Bulma seated at her bedroom desk, and what can be seen of her work area is actually relatively clean for once. ]

Hey Genessia, if you don't already know, I'm Bulma. [ She gives a short wave to the camera ] I've got a question!

[ She holds up an old water-damaged book, and flips through the pages to show the extent of the damage. ]

Is anyone out there good at restoring old text? Goku and I found this out in the mountains, and I thought it could be something interesting. [ Casually leaves out that thy annihilated and entire species of mud monster in the process, but eh. ] I'll pay to get it restored, of course!



( [ Action - Goku & Bulma only ❤ Backdated to a week or so after Trunks and Mai's arrival. ] )



( [ Text - 17, 18, Vegeta, Goku, Mai, Trunks, & Bulma only ] )

((OOC note, if your character asks about her home or any of the people she mentions, she's guaranteed to refer to herself as a main character or talk about how she's a manga/anime heroine. So if that's too much 4th wall, just note that and I'll avoid it!))

[ Action ]

[ If you're out and about in Genessia City, there are a few places you might catch Kagura throughout the day. Squatting in front of Weiss's hologram, as if she's a little kid enjoying story time. Or maybe at Cake Town stuffing her face with what little money she has. Or she might be at the Genessia police station, trying to file a missing persons report for a pair of glasses and a dead fish with a silver perm.

Or feel free to run into her somewhere else. She's extremely pale, using a large purple umbrella to hide from the sun, and she looks a bit young to be wandering on her own. ]



[ Video - Much later in the day ]

This goes out to everyone, right?

[ She's standing in the middle of her tiny commonspace room, picking her nose and shuffling her feet in uncharacteristic nervousness. She suddenly realizes everyone can see her too, and she pulls her finger from her nose quickly. ]

Umm, I am Kagura, yes? I just got here, ahead of my Earth family, and I heard that people have to get jobs here. I used to be the manager of an odd-jobs business back in Edo, [ Total lie, but Gintoki isn't around to smack her upside the head and inform everyone that she was just a worthless employee. ] so I was wondering if there are any jobs like that? I'm real strong, so I can do any kind of job. I want to have a really nice place when Gin-chan and Shinpachi get here, so I need money, yes?

[ Because she knows they can't break up the main trio of characters for too long! So they have to be on their way to Genessia, right? ]

[Action]


[Matt was glad these cities had parks. He had wanted to put himself through his paces for a while now and he needed to stretch out to do it. He'd forgotten what it felt like to just let his powers loose and sink into them like nothing else mattered. He stood in the middle of a patch of grass and just let go. Flips, somersaults, kicks Matt put himself through his paces. His senses were completely open to the world around him and for the first time in a long time he let himself be the person he wanted to be, not the person everyone else wanted him to be. He could sense other people around him, but he didn't give a damm if they stopped to watch. Right now was for him and he wasn't trying to impress anyone. He was just letting himself be Daredevil, the part of himself, maybe the only part he was comfortable with anymore.]

[Video]

[Matt appears on camera looking a little nervous. He's never had to ask about a job before, he's always been either offered one or worked for himself, so this is a giant leap. He needs something to distract his mind and he needs it now.]

Hello, for anyone who hasn't met me before...my name is Matt Murdock and I find myself in need of a job. I'm trying to save up to start my own law office and I'm a little short. I'm a quick study and smart, so I can pick up any skill. I've run my own office and I have a decent combat skill set if anyone needs security. Please don't let my lack of sight turn you away... I'm a decent worker if a bit broody at times.

[Action]

Hector's eyes shot open the moment the haze of sleep was pulled away. His body was laying on something firm and soft, and it had been nearly a century since he'd felt anything like that. With a yelp he sat up, floundering a bit as he half tumbled and half stepped out of the pod. The memory of his heart raced and he swallowed thickly.

"Ay, w-where..." There was nothing familiar about the stone or water around him. Much less the object that had scattered along the floor. Scrambling to pick them up he looks over the instructions, not liking the words or meaning at all. Because wherever he was, was not The Land of the Dead. Which meant, there was no connection to The Land of the Living.

"No bridge." He clicked his tongue and grabbed everything, shoving it in his pockets and taking off out of the cave. He doesn't even pause to listen to the recording. He needed to get home. To get home and make sure to get over the bridge. Nothing else mattered. Not strange devices or, or necklaces.

Not even crashing into solid people.

"Lo siento!" Hector managed as his bones scattered across the sidewalks of Genessia, with a small little grunt he drew himself back together, placing his head on with a crack and turning to apologize to whomever he'd bumped into.

"HIJOLE!" He scrambled back, pointing a bony finger, "Y-you're...how? No, no puede...ah!" He grabbed his hat and yanked it down as he tried to calm down, "How can you see me!? You are alive!"

[Video]

[The camera is really close, showing a single, warm brown eyeball.]

Caray, is this on? Hola? Ah!

[He pulls back, looking a bit sheepish and nervous.]

I apologize for that. I was told to introduce myself on this...network? To see if there is anyone I might know.

[Not that it would be difficult to spot them in this land of fleshy people but, well Hector just had that sort of luck.]

I am Hector and I'm still not sure how this works. But, that is the way of it. If anyone recognizes me.

[Pause.]

And I do not owe you a favor, please! Say hello, si?

[A bit of fumbling and the feed ends with a little whistle from Hector.]
