genessia | 1st Run - Ain't New York Anymore

Video - Public - Genessia City

[ Shoji's arrival to this world differed little from any other. He wakes up in the Bay confused, a little afraid, and uneasy. The hologram and the pamphlet help ease his mind, along with his prior experience with strange supernatural phenomena. But this is completely new. So right after swapping the damp clothes he was wearing to fresher ones, and finding a tall rooftop to perch on with a canned drink in hand, Shoji made use of this network by making a video. It's risky to put himself out there, but he's got a lot of faith that people here wouldn't be evil or out to get him. Firing up the video function, Shoji taps on the screen and holds his device up at a decent angle that shows his stylish casual clothes. Starting off with a friendly smile and a two-fingered salute, he speaks: ]

Hey there! Shoji speakin', new meat fresh off the bay. Any friendly faces in this place willing to have a chat? How many of us are in here anyway? Man, this is crazy, it's like being transported into some bizarro dimension filled with yokai, only with no yokai. This is really feels more like a human world than anything.

Video/Action - Public - Nova City

[ The shock of suddenly being transported into a different world was enough to keep Shoji awake for a long time. So he decided to spend the night just running free until he makes it to Nova City. Weiss' welcoming message have mentioned Nova City, so it was natural that it would catch Shoji's curiosity. The futuristic wonderland just energized him more to keep exploring. This was way bigger than any city he's been, with buildings much higher than he's seen before. It was almost intimidating, but also tempting to make this city into his new parkour playground. Just wandering where he feels like, Shoji eventually runs into a seedy underbelly of Nova City. After soaking in the sights of the lines of bars and other neon light establishments spread throughout this street he finds himself in, Shoji finds himself in trouble.

Shoji turns the video on, not having any time to pick names and not that he knows any Guardians yet, showing himself hiding behind a wall. Gunshots could be heard along with some screaming from panicked pedestrians. Despite being in such danger against guns with firepower unlike his homeworld's, Shoji presents himself in a somewhat calm demeanor in the video ]

Uhhh... Hi again. I may or may not have run into some thugs having what looked like an arms trade. That I interrupted. Unintentionally, I might add.

[ Then a gunshot fizzed by and nicked the corner of the wall he's hiding behind. Dust from the shattered piece of wall makes him pause and cuss under his breath for a second. ]

So uh, some help would be nice? They got some heavy firepower but I'll keep 'em occupied until you get here. I'm at the northeast quadrant of the city. In the back alley of a bar named "Wish You Were Beer". God, that name is terrible!

[ Shoji cringes at saying that terrible name out loud, activating a holographic shield over his arm before putting his phone away on his coat's chest pocket. He takes a sharp breath before steps out of hiding, using his shield as protection to slide from cover to cover, just before he throws his shield like a boomerang and striking at one of the armed thugs before returning to him ]

Do you need help with anything since you are new?

As for numbers that are here it's... honestly really hard to count the numbers if I have to be honest.

[ It's a cute girl! That's the first thing he thought about, but luckily Yukiko's words didn't zip past his head. He retains his friendly demeanor, smiling and shaking his head in a polite declination ]

I think I'm good. For now. But I'll let you guys know if I have questions. Still getting my this new world idea wrapped around my head, and talking to you guys is what I think the best way for me right now.

[ He'd ask about the numbers again later ]

It usually is. I mean we have a lot of nice people who are willing to talk and help out if needs me, myself included. So if you ever have questions in the future, please let me know using this device or at Amagi Inn where I work.

[She was always more than happy to help or at least make friends anyway.]

So what do you think you will do now then? Explore a bit?

[ Shoji feels uplifted that there's people like this in this glass prison he's in. He takes a sharp intake of breath through his nose to pause and think about what's next on his agenda. ]

Yep, that's pretty much the only thing in my mind right now. Waking up in this crazy place added a few more hours of energy in my battery, and Nova City sounds like something I just gotta see right now.

[ Right after he finishes his drink, that is. ]

So your job here, is it something you like doing? I heard in the hologram that we're to support ourselves here. I honestly don't know what sorta job I can get, really. Doubt they're looking for delivery boys for their supernatural citizens.

[ Shoji shakes his head with a little sheepish laugh. That was essentially his job back home, other than being a college student and unofficial superhero ]

Ah, futuristic places are always something someone should so, either because it's something they are use to or something they aren't use to, but it's interesting.

[She nodded slightly.]

Of course, I wouldn't be doing in if I didn't. Though you really can do anything, you just need to find the right city and of course customers.

Yeah, totally.

[ Reading her nametag on the device, Shoji finally puts the pieces together and concludes that Yukiko might be the owner of the Amagi Inn she mentioned. She looks young, though ]

Reading your name tag, I just realized that you could probably own that inn you work in. I mean, do you?

[ That would be so cool ]

That's correct. I own the Amagi Inn of Genessia and Fayren and hopefully the other cities in the future. They are meant to be places for new arrivals to stay at while they get settled. it's why I'm trying to introduce a coupon for at least a two week free stay.

[But she can't really 100%b do that until the others are open.]

If it odd that I own them? But it was something I was meant to take over back home.

Edited 2017-06-06 07:38 (UTC)

Naw, not odd at all. It's just you look like someone my age. We youngins don't get to run businesses much, you know?

[ He's still used to the standards of his world where most business owners are at least a little older than they are. But what the hologram said and what the pamplet covered, Shoji realizes that this sort of situation with Yukiko is entirely possible here ]

That's pretty sweet though, owning a business here. I saw the commons place and it just looks so depressing. Might have to stay at your inn for tonight then. Sounds like a fun time.

[ Provided he won't get arrested later ]

I wonder, is it like a full-blown ryokan style or a bit more "western"? Genessia looks a lot like an American city.

I understand. I was called the youngest back home when I had to take over for my mother.

[Or at least she was in training to take over, minus the time her mother collapsed after things happened.]

It's not normally an everyday thing people would see, but yet here... Someone my age can with no questions asked.

[She nodded slightly.]

It is a nice place, we have a hot springs and we do cater to what the customer wants. So you would actually be correct about the style being ryokan styled

That's awesome. I'm excited to see it.

[ Shoji finishes his drink, crushing the can in his hand because he's hardcore like that. ]

I was in Osaka not long ago. Finished high school there before I went back to America.

[ He shrugs, that's a story for another time. For now, he stands up and dusts his pants off as he gets ready to make a run for it ]

I'll tell you all about it later. Yukiko.

[ He flashes her a wink and a two-fingered salute before switching off the feed ]
