Down on the beach by the bay there is a dashing man with vivid red hair, bright blue eyes, and an outfit with a black close fit shirt, with a pink long vest, that reaches his knees, loose over top of it, white pants, a white headband, and pink and black gloves that reach up to the top of his bicep. He is trim and fair, with a toned and strong physique. If people notice him before he notices them, his expression is a bit bland, almost frustrated, but as soon as he sees anyone he lights up in a bright smile, and ladies will get an even bigger welcoming grin out of him.

Left to his own devices he will slowly make his way into the city proper, looking about and taking in the place, and he seems just as likely to notice anyone dressed well as he is anyone dressed like a beggar. He continues to offer very friendly smiles to anyone and everyone who looks his way and even gives extra charming smiles to ladies he sees, of any age.

(Video)

[The video comes on to the little lady appearing to be finoshing up some final touches in the kitchen. Cooking ingredients lined up neatly in the background and dishes in the sink.]

Good morning, everyone.

I just finished baking sweets I learned from my Home Economics class and I want to share them with you.

I'll be making a round in Genessia and Nova, so if you see me, come say Hi, okay? Bye!

---------------------

(Action - Genessia & Nova City)

[True to her word, Anastasia can be found making rounds around the city. Dressed in her Hunnouji Academy school uniform and pulling a pink wagon around filled with large containers of homemade sweets, and a Glaceon to keep them chilled, she certainly sticks out in a crowd.

Whenever Anastasia sees someone who doesn't look busy, she'll approach with a smile.]

Excuse me? I'm sorry to bother you, but would you like to try any sweets I made? They're free.

So, now that I'm not dying. [Thanks, Orihime.] Is there anyone who can point me into the direction of employment?

Honestly, it wasn't something I had to do back home. People normally came to me, so this is just all around weird. My resume probably isn't the best considering my business. [COUGH. ASSASSIN. COUGH.]

But, I have some healing magic and I'm very good with my hands.

[He says that last part with a smile and a wink.]

Anyone need those skills?

[ACTION;Genessia City]

[He's an idiosyncratic sight, the man stalking through the city streets looking like something out of a strangely futuristic fairy tale: the high leather boots, gleaming mail armor bearing a coat of arms depicting a full moon branded by the figure of a dragon, short sword at his hip, and gauntlets he wears give him the look of some kind of medieval soldier or knight.

The look of him is too sleek, however: the mail he wears is a snug fit, shimmering in the light but seemingly little more than fabric, covering him from neck to waist with his arms left bare. The boots and gauntlets are heavy leather, but make no sound as he moves--and carry a strange pattern, something like scales but not.

And despite the fact that he was visibly on his guard, scanning his surroundings at regular intervals, every sense on high alert...he's visibly comfortable with his surroundings. He navigates the streets with ease, minding street lights, hugging buildings to make faster turns around corners--he's clearly seen a modern type of city before. He's lived on streets like these, he's walked a world very similar to this one.

It's been a while--decades--but Neil Blair still remembers his way around a city. It's not Nocturne, it's not the five realms, and it's not New York. But it's still a mostly known quantity.

He's going to feel a lot better once he has a lay of the land--and finds a place to gather some spell ingredients.]

[VIDEO;public]

[The moment the feed comes to life, the moment of transition is brief--a handsome face with dark coloring frowning in confusion at the smart phone in his hand before he confirms he's life and refocuses on the camera. His expression is...well, angry is the nicest way to describe it.]

Uh--hey. I'm--

[The words are on his lips. Black Fire of Nocturne, the title he uses at court, but this isn't the five realms. This is...another world, and nobody knows him here.

The anger in his face dies for just a second, replaced by something like hope before his features turn guarded.]

--I'm...Neil. New here--uh, I was just curious about what people do for work around here? Y'know, what and where. These temporary bunks are okay but I wanna get a job and get out of here...so recommendations on housing would also be good. I know there's a few places to go, what's your input?

Thanks in advance.

[ Action; Just outside the Bay Area]

[ After coming out of the cave area, she found the most helpful looking newspaper stand with a bunch of helpful things like pamphlets and a big map for her to take. She added them to the pile of things in her arms and even though she seemed to startle at the sight of the hologram woman that appeared, she kept calm and listened to everything she had to say. She even bowed her head to the hologram before she seemed to disappear. It was still really alarming to know she'd been kidnapped to some strange place, but as the woman said, she must keep calm! If she panicked and caused a scene, it might make things difficult, and it could cause others to panick and that wouldn't be right. She wanted to be as helpful as she could... well as soon as she could figure things out that was.

Quietly she unfolded the map and and found a spot nearby to lay it out. It wouldn't do very well if she gets herself lost without knowing any landmarks right? So the best action would be to stay right there until she could figure out which way to go. Or maybe catch the attention of anyone near by. ]

I hope Nero's okay back home...

[Video]

[ Okay, so the pamphlet she had with her told her about this smart phone device... It seemed so strange to have a phone that was so small and cordless, but that wasn't important right now. It said to play around with it, get used to the functions. The smart phone would help her interact with others here which would be extremely helpful. After playing around with the functions a little a voice can be heard, but she was holding it the wrong way so all that could be seen was the inside of her palm. ]

Hello...? [ She clears her throat.] I just wished to thank whomever provided me with this starter packet and this lovely map. I will put it to good use and I promise to work my hardest to be some sort of help here. [ A small pause ] My name is Kyrie and I hope we will be able to get along together. Huh.. what does this do?

[. . .Click. ]

A couple days ago, there was an incident at a Genessia city arcade. "Hero-in-training" Katsuki Bakugou attacked a civilian seemingly over a video game. What ensued was a chaotic scene where multiple explosions were detected, resulting in large scale property damage and injuries to civilians.

Just remember. This is a 'hero.'

[Attached to the text is a picture of Bakugou, explosion coming from his hand as a crowd of people try to scatter away from him.]

WHO: Nero, Yang Xiao Long
WHAT: It's off to Everglade to rescue the human sacrifices from a demon trying to summon an eldritch god. Yang calls in Nero, and they're off to fight. A couple of cards, these two!
WHEN: August 19, 2018
WHERE: Everglade

( Whisper tales of gore. )

[ Even though she is fidgeting a little when the feed comes on, the pretty brunette offers a charming little smile as soon as she knows the video is going. She is sitting in the room she had been given upon arrival but she doesn't feel like staying there for long. She feels restless and she wants to check things out but maybe getting a little bit of direction isn't a bad thing. Nor is meeting new people. ]

So this is...fun. Have to admit that I kind of thought maybe this was some kind of afterlife or something but I've been reassured by a big grumpy man that it's not. [ Pressing her lips together a bit, she falls silent for a second before continuing on. ]

Anyways, my name is Courtney and I'm kind of new to this place. I guess I'll have to find a place to live and somewhere to work too but I do have a question for everyone. Is there a good place to go when you just want to go dancing and cut loose?

I'm sure there are a million other important questions I could be asking but those will come in time. Once I have more time to process, I guess. I mean, there is a part of me that still wonders if I'm dreaming or if this is some kind of other place people go when they die but....

[ She frowns. ]

It's not, right?

A - [Video]

[Here we see a young warlord without his helmet and armor, just got out of a shower, put on his professional clothes, and finally relaxing from such..confusing days. While he was looking at the video, trying to figure it out, it finally dawned on Ryoma that it was rolling.]

...Ah. Here we are.

[Ryoma cleared his throat]

Greetings Kingdom of Genessia. It seems that you have welcomed me into this place with open, warm arms. Speaking on terms of the Kingdom of Hoshido, it is an honor to be welcomed to such a country.

To the citizens, I am looking for my family and fellow alliances. Hinoka, Sakura, Corrin, Azura; if you are able to get this message, I wish to meet. It seems something strange has happened to all of us upon our fall to The Kingdom of Valla according to Takumi.

Xander, Camilia, Leo, and Elise: This goes for you as well.

This could all be The First Dragon's doing, so stay alert and strong.

[he stops his speech, and takes a deep breathe]

-And Scarlett. If you're out there, I will be at your side as soon as possible. We cannot trust this place completely. Our army will come together once again, for both of our Kingdoms.

[The video signed off abruptly. This prince still didn't know what he was doing, but at least the message was out]

B - [Action]

After the video, Ryoma had gotten his armor back on and was about to search for everyone. He had his time of rest, now it was his time to gather everyone. He didn't care if it was at night, he needed to make sure everyone was safe. Unfortunately he was lost...The Prince would never show or admit it, but as the more he thought about it, maybe he did need that help.

For Orihime - Cake Town - Morning

[ Charlie was good at remembering places, different details of where she was. It was useful information, great to have handy in a situation where she needed to run away or make it sound like that was the town she was from. It was great to know where hiding places were, places she maybe needed to stay out of, places she could rest in for a moment or two.

And since old habits died hard, Charlie was out wandering Genessia. She starts around the temporary housing, taking in businesses and the like, trying to see where exactly everything is in regards to where she was staying. And she even wanders to the area near the bay, looking at the various businesses and trying to see if any of them might be hiring.

Truthfully, she has no job experience, unless picking pockets counted in which case? She has some there.

So deciding on a place that might be okay with how untrained she is? That's hard. And she really doesn't like the idea of starving, so her stomach wins.

She makes her way to Cake Town and pushes the door open, looking around for a moment before approaching someone she hoped worked there. ]

Excuse me. I was wondering if you were hiring? If there's a now hiring sign and I missed it, I promise I'm usually a lot more observant than that.

[ That was probably not as helpful as he hopes. ]

Attleton: Market - afternoon: OTA

[ With a job squared away, Charlie can be found trying to grocery shop. She has limited funds, a desire to see it extend well past her first official paycheck, and a small fridge to put food in. So she can't buy much, even if her stomach is telling her to buy everything. She manages to buy a few apples, some quickly cooked microwave meals and a gallon of milk and is now waiting in line to pay for everything, watching everyone and everything with casual interest.

Is she settling in? Probably not. But she's relaxed some. Nothing about this place is making her danger sense scream, so maybe she's okay? ]

Genessia: Starter Residences: Evening - OTA.

[ The small handful of errands run and Charlie's back home, heading to her place in the starter residences. Her tiny but pretty cozy apartment with the small fridge, shared bathroom. Okay, that part? That part she's not too fond of. But she has a roof over her head and it's quiet. She's good with both of those. She can be found either inside the halls, heading to her place, or outside on the front steps, writing in a journal she bought earlier and watching the people come and go. Nothing too intrusive or exciting, really. Just a teenage girl with an apple and a book and a pen, trying to settle in and remain as inconspicuous as possible.

So clearly, that means come and say hi. ]

[After dealing with that bounty in Everglade, all Yang wanted was a long, hot shower. She wasn't sure she'd ever feel clean again after all that swamp mud, but here she is, fresh and refreshed, a damp towel slipping from her tangles of wet blonde hair. She waves two fingers casually at the camera.]

Yo! Looks like we've got a lot of newbies showing up. Welcome! I'm Yang, one of the deputy guardians in Nova City. You need anything, give me a call. I'm mostly in that city, but I do a lot of traveling when I'm not on patrol, so don't be shy and come say hello.

[She scrubs her hair with the towel again, using her metal right arm as she tips her head to the side.]

I'm also looking for some volunteers to help out at the carnival. There are a couple of charities I want to help out, so I'm setting up a kissing booth to raise funds. It's just going to be on the cheek, so don't get too hopeful.

[She winks.]

But hey, if you really want to volunteer and offer the usual, be my guest. Just keep it PG.

[There was something else she wanted to mention. What was it? ...Oh well, if it were important, she would have remembered.]

That's about it! See you guys around!
