[Video]

Koishi appeared on screen, her face too close to the camera. She tapped it twice. "Hello? Is this working...?" A pause "Oh... Oh! There we go." Stepping back she was wearing something not seen for some time. A pseudo military uniform. It was clean and in order. Even the somewhat shabby scarf had been pressed nicely and was laying flat. A... Kamui?

"Miss Satsuki and I have been working really hard on getting Noushuketsu here into fighting shape!" She patted the outfit's lapel gently. "So we're gonna be down at the Attleton arena for some scuffles. No holding back!" She was absolutely beaming into the camera. "Anyone is invited to come! I need to see how Noushuketsu works in any situation. And since its the arena no one will stay hurt from the fight. Isn't that great?" Which probably meant that there was a good chance lethal force was going to be used.

She stepped back, pointing the device at Satsuki in the background. "Miss Satsuki is already here so we're going to get started right away. So just go to the prep room to get ready if there's a fight going on. Or just walk out if there isn't! Okay? I'll see you there!"

And click!

( Super fighting youkai Koishi )

[The video clicks on fairly quickly, but all that is to see is the skewed view of a table cloth. Striped in sugar pinks and minty greens with dollops of sweet jams carelessly dropped about! The sound of something rhythmically tinking, metal on ceramic, is heard for well, a while actually.

Over the tinking there is a hum. Light and off key.]

What wears mustard on it's face and pickles as a bowtie?

[The feed now goes on, a pair of feet coming into view. Well shined black shoes with what seems to be water stains upon them. Eventually the feed times out, the tinking still going.]

[It's been twenty four hours since he woke up in one of those stupid pod things, and as disconnected as Derek feels in this place--far from his pack, too close to the bloodshed left in the Nogitsune's wake--the time he's spent on his own in a small, semi-comfortable room far removed from Beacon Hills...it's actually been good for him.

That was yesterday, however, and now Derek's starting to get antsy.

Which is why, when the network comes to life, the forests of Fayren are the backdrop behind a handsome young man with dark coloring, a neat yet scruffy beard, and no shirt. The fine sheen of perspiration on his face and shoulders is indicative of the run he's just been on--and working up that sweat was no small effort.]

Hi. Name's Derek, just got here. I'd like to get out of the Commonspace pretty quick--but if I'm gonna get a place, I'm gonna need a job. Anyone out there hiring?

[There's a beat...and because he's an Omega now, because he knows for all the aggravations, he really can't do without that human connection...with a sigh, he sets his jaw for a moment, and keeps going.]

And, uh--if anyone's in need of a roommate, hit me up. We can work out shared costs once I find work, but can't hurt to send up a flare, right?

[It kind of looks like it does hurt, from the scowl he can't quite hide--but he doesn't take it back, just sort of sighs, offers a terse nod of silent thanks, and kills the feed.]

[Action]

["Hold fast, men! As soon as Luffy makes it out of her territory, our task is done!"

"Life or death?"

The memories of his recent battle against the Big Mom Pirates are still fresh in Jinbei's head as he wakes up in the Bay. Spotting the water on the ground, he acts without thinking, scooping some of it up and flinging the water out of the cave. Hopefully, there's nobody directly across from one of the openings, because that water's going to be airborne for quite a while, and if it hits someone, it's going to hurt.]

Strange... I don't think Big Mom would underestimate me this much...

[The massive fishman takes a few hesitant steps forward, keeping an eye out for one of the many Devil Fruit users and homies in Big Mom's forces, when he nearly steps on the phone.]

[Video]

[Anyone looking through the network may be greeted by an up-close look at a large blue ogre-like figure tapping at the screen.]

--think I've got it... [After taking a closer look at the device, Jinbei sits back, eyes closed in contemplation.]

It's clear that wherever this is, it's not in the Grand Line. I suppose I'll be delayed in getting to Wano...

My name is Jinbei, and I am grateful for all of this information; it's very helpful. If any of the Straw Hat Pirates are here, I would appreciate it if someone could direct me to them. ...Or perhaps they'll find me. They are quite the energetic bunch... [A small smile crosses Jinbei's face as he thinks back on his short time with the crew.]

I will need to find work and a place to live... but I can figure that out later. [It clearly doesn't concern him; if worse comes to worse, he can find a large body of water and build something under there.] Thank you for your time.

Video

[Asami is dressed up in a neat, but comfortable business clothes, as she does the video on her lunch hour at work, hit by inspiration.]

How many here drive cars or other motorized vehicles? I've been wanting to hold a race for a while, to test how fast the machines here can go. It would just be more interesting as a race. A whole event just for racing with motorized vehicles of different kind.

Of course, it would be nice to help a cause by donating any profits gained from an event like this.

And nothing says there can't be a category for other types of racing as well. Horseback riding or running, bicycles, air balloons... whatever you can come up with.

Let me know if you're interested.

Action

[Throughout the day after work, Asami is either window shopping or actually shopping in Nova City, finding parts for her own little projects and also comparing prizes. Of course, she'll also need to go grocery shopping, too, before heading home... but she's likely going to be at it a while, in different kinds of high tech part shops.

Or vehicle shops. Those work too.]

[Tap. Tap. Tap. This was something Winry was used to hearing at this point. A pencil tapping against a notepad. She had been working on many a drawing, but never anything new. Improvements to those who needed it. Checking that things were fine for another, but she rarely found herself making any new prosthetics from scratch. Nothing she could put her name to anyway.

In a way she felt happy that she didn't have to, it meant the healers here were doing an extremely good job. But the other part of her found herself questioning a lot. Was there even a point in her being here at this job? Did she really deserve the pay? Could she maybe ask to give her less? Or maybe she figured it was time to move on from it, try something new. But she knew as she sighed she just couldn't.]

That's another design done... [She turns the page over, already going to start on the next design, but it wasn't long before she found herself pausing. Pencil just inches away from the paper once more. After a moment she put it down before moving to lean away from the desk she had been currently sitting at.]

I should really hand in my letter. I mean I will finish what I need to here before the two weeks, but... I should maybe have already had what I am going to do planned.

[She sighed slightly as she soon moved to stand up moving to grab the device before it finally shuts off.]

Action: Genessia Hospital
[Winry had left the office for the time being. Her plan was to hand in her letter of resignation or her two weeks notice at the hospital. She knew it was for the best since she wasn't exactly happy working there anymore for the pay she was getting.

She would have rather had less or maybe she could have done something for someone with the extra money, but Winry knew the other reason for it. She just figured it was the best time to try elsewhere. So with that in mind she was walking the corridors, saying hello to people she meets along the way.]

Video
[After she had finally handed in her notice she made sure the feed was on. A small solemn smile placed upon it.]

So... I handed in my notice at work today. I figured now is the time to try somewhere else and use what I have learned elsewhere. Be in at another hospital or even getting my own place. [She honestly didn't know which it would be. While having her own place might seem normal, she wasn't sure she could do it alone. She always had someone.]

But because of it, I realised that... I should really consider my living arrangements again.

[It wasn't long before there was a crash coming from behind her as Winry was quick to turn around.]

Togepi, what did I tell you about going in there?! [She was quick to move to deal with it as the feed switched off.]

{ Video }
Ciaran's video is currently of her - masked face and concealing armor and all - as she sits at a bench somewhere not far from the Bay.


"We require a healer's assistance."


“If you do not have more pressing matters to attend to, that is.”


Ciaran's gaze flicks off screen. "More pressing than preserving the use of an arm. My friend cannot move his currently."


{ action }

Or someone is free to come across the pair sitting not far from the bay, near and on a bench. That is to say, Artorias is sitting on the ground near the bench, and sits taller than Ciaran on the bench.... Totally a normal pair of armored newcomers, right?


(OOC: Ciaran and Artorias will reply, pick one, or just let the knights do as they do-)

Video

[Anyone watching the video is going to first notice that it's very, very low to the ground. And that whoever has it is running down the streets of Genessia City and climbing the sides of buildings like there's nothing to it. When the movement stops, the camera is pointed at Stitch's face and he blinks a few times before...]

Hiiiiiii.

Action

[People in Genessia City might come across Stitch as he skitters down sidewalks and up buildings. They'll notice that he follows traffic signals and tries to avoid running into people, but is incredibly curious about the new city as he perches on the top of light posts and sides of buildings before jumping down and carrying on.

He'll stop a few times to check where he is, so you can catch him if you want!]
