[Despite the chilly weather, there were indeed people out and about doing their business, including a small four foot girl dressed like a Japanese schoolgirl delinquent with a baseball bat resting on her shoulder. She carries herself with authority, head cocked to the side slightly as she inspects various businesses. Only businesses. As she saunters inside, the bat is used more like a cane, as she leans on it to inspect various products before approaching whoever seems to be in charge at the current time.]

Nice place ya got here. I've been hearing some nasty rumors going around though, seems some thug's been goin' around vandalizing stuff. See, I'm hot on their trail and offerin' my services ta keep the punks from wreckin' shop.

Ya interested?

[And yes, she is indeed speaking with an extremely exaggerated Brooklyn accent.]

[Action]

[Just like everyone else who has come here, Saber -- Siegfried -- arrives in the Bay. After waking up, getting out of the box, and going through what he's been given, he emerges into the sunlight. He trips the hologram, listens to what it has to say, and looks at some of the pamphlets put out by it. Time to see what's going on here.

The people in Genessia will see the newcomer walking around. He's a very tall man with long, unkempt, platinum blond hair, and a very long sword, almost as long as he is tall, strapped to his back in a sheath. He also has much of his chest exposed, and there appears to be a glowing sigil of some kind there. Other than that, and some strategically-placed plate armor, his outfit is mostly black.

Even for newcomers, he stands out like a sore thumb.]

[Video]

[The feed shows a newcomer, though the camera only shows his face and his mane of hair. He has a very serious expression.]

Please excuse me. I just arrived here, and I find myself at a loss as to what is going on, other than the basics of my situation. I know nothing of current events, politics, or anything of that sort. Would anyone be able to update me on what has been happening?
