WHO: Nova City Guardian/Deputies + YOU
WHAT: Halloween Trick-or-Treat Walk
WHEN: Halloween, Early Evening
WHERE: Nova City, near the Guardian Skywalk
WARNINGS: Hopefully not many? Adorable trick or treaters and just goofy Halloween fun tbh. Some of the characters are still affected by the curse but this is mostly just a happy lil log.

[ While each of the Guardian and Deputies is required to have their devices on for alerts in case something does happen, most of them are in front of the Guardian Skywalk this evening for a special event! Kids can go around visiting each of the Guardians, who are all volunteering to hand out candy. There are a couple of attractions set up for the kids nearby- a ring toss, a bean bag toss, laser tag, a kettle corn stand, and a stuffed animal claw machine. It's nowhere near the size of a real carnival, just big enough to get the kids out and have some fun. Naturally, it's a safe place for everyone and it's free for anyone 13 or under. Adults are welcome if they pay with a limit of one prize per game (seriously, this is for the kids, don't be a dick).

Each of the Deputy Guardians has a huge pillowcase of candy to give out though, so feel free to go up to any one of them to chat or to get some sugary goodness, see the costumes, or just enjoy the cool night air! ]
 
 
Intro - Closed:
[ Ayame arrived in Genessia quietly; making no hassles and just calmly followed the breadcrumbs left for her by the authorities of this world. She listened to the hologram, read the pamphlet, and even went to the welcoming company office to get herself sorted out. It wasn't her intention to go to this world in particular. She was simply jumping from one random universe to another and ended up here. Her first impression wasn't muddied by the cold dampness of the Bay, and the sight of a peaceful modern city was enough to put a weary smile on her face. Dressed in her kimono-esque battle uniform with arms clad in armored bracers, and armed with a sword at her side, Ayame felt out of place and just want to get changing to something more comfortable. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, prepping herself for a new beginning. ]

Video - Memoria Park/Shrine:
[ After getting changed to some civilian clothes and checking in at a hotel, Ayame decided to go for some fresh air with nothing but her purse in hand and her necklace she got from the Bay complimenting her overall look. She spent all day and afternoon in Genessia City, getting a feel of the place. Taking pictures of flowers and trees at the garden park, that Gothic temple, then going to the grocery store and checking out the library. Ayame's excitement for this new world, apart from her inability to sleep, made her compelled to go outside once again right after dinnertime.

Ayame ended up seeing a Shinto shrine in the city, much to her bewilderment. She's always had a complicated relationship with her "religion" given how she was brought up. She simply looked at the shrine itself, not bothering to ring the bell or offer a prayer. She wandered around the grounds until she ended up at the Memoria Park nearby, seeing the marble slab with all the names carved neatly in the stone. Ayame looks at the names, reads them in her mind until she found a name that gave her pause: Troy Dantes.

A gasp and a moment later, the puzzled Ayame took a moment to get her bearings while reading the name over and over again. Is this even the same guy she knows? Granted, Troy wasn't a close friend of hers yet, but he made a good impression enough for her to know and respect him. It was nagging at her mind. While it was likely this is a different man, there was also the slight chance that this is him. After all, she was drawn to this world against her will, who is to say someone else from her world was taken the same way? There was only one way to find out...

Taking her comm device, Ayame hesitated for a minute as her mind began being flooded with what-ifs and anxious thoughts of having to put herself out there for others to see. But it was the only way to get this out of her head. She chose the video option and places her device on a flat surface.
]

Hello? Good evening. Pardon me for asking, but does the name "Troy Dantes" mean anything to any of you? It's the name of someone I knew from my world, I only want to know if it is the same person. Please, if you have known him, I would like to confirm if this is the same man I know of.

[ Her body language was polite and calm despite how befuddled she was at the revelation. It may not seem like a big deal to many, but if this meant two people from her world have been taken here, who is to say there weren't (or aren't) more from the same place. ]

[When the feed clicks on, he can be seen standing in the middle of Attleton's Colosseum, much to the annoyance of the spectators and assembled fighters.]

I have gone far too long without a decent challenge. As such, I have decided that I will not leave the Colosseum until that need is satiated. This is an open challenge to any and all who wish to test their mettle, come find me, and I will engage any who step into this arena. Be warned, however. I will not hold back. I intend to exercise my power to the absolute fullest for the first time since setting foot in this place.

Some of you may have noticed that I haven't been around much lately. I have good reason, and for the time I was gone I don't think I was capable of fulfilling my duties as City Guardian or as a leader, so I'd like to thank my Deputy Artanis for taking care of things in my absence. I don't intend on talking about what happened with a bunch of strangers. You're not my therapists, and most of you aren't my friends. What most of you are, despite everything that I've been through in this world and my own, are good people who deserve to be safe. I think it's obvious that I'm not capable of doing that through sheer enthusiasm and ability. I'm relatively certain no one elected me because they thought I was going to be able to punch superpowered serial killers through a wall in the first place and make everything perfectly safe like that.

What I ran on the first time was creating teams and using my brain to come up with new ways to protect this city and its people. I think it's about time Nova City saw more of that, so I'm breaking Nova City into protective sectors and hiring more Deputy Guardians out of my own pocket. Being able to guard smaller sectors and call in backup from other parts of the city is going to improve security and I make more than enough disposable income and I can't see a better way to spend it than to make sure that you all know that even if I couldn't protect myself alone, I'll make sure that Nova City will become a place we can all feel a little safer again.

I'll let all of you know who the new deputies will be and how the sectors will be divided up by the end of the month. Anyone interested leave a private message, but I make no guarantees about who will actually get a job and who won't. Any candidates will be informed of the interview procedure just before it. No sooner, no later, and if they would like to withdraw their candidacy at that time they are more than welcome to.

[ As her face appears on screen, Winter's expression is stern; if not a touch annoyed with her pale blue eyes piercing and cold. Like they could freeze anyone they fixed themselves on. By the look of it, arms crossed over her chest and visible from where the device was recording her from. ]

It has come to my attention that a lot of people have things to say regarding Weiss Schnee and how she has been doing things in this world.

[ There's a bite of harshness in her voice then. ]

I have looked through that anonymous 'chat' and see a lot of you cannot put your true feelings out there without wearing a face of anonymity. How cowardly. So with that said, I will put this out there without hiding.

[ Winter clears her throat, eyes narrowing a touch and completely unafraid. She can be a little reckless - as most Schnees tend to be - and as such does not exclude her from this and may likely regret it but for now she can't let this slide. ]

ANYONE who has an issue with my sister or anything that she's involved in will take it up with me before choosing to engage with her in any way or form. This is non-negotiable so if any of you are not weak-kneed and cowardly enough to shy away then come forwards and I will deal with you without fear.

[ Come at her. Really. She's sick of the people talking smack about her baby sis, and even if the younger Schnee can take care of herself, it didn't mean she was going to sit by and let people do whatever they wanted. This was necessary, Weiss. ]

VOICE; OPEN
( poorly filtered against cinder, emerald, mercury, neo, and roman )

After learning more about the situation Emerald spoke of from Professor Ozpin, I've decided to put the Beacon Academy archway in Nova City under heavy guard as it was created before its destruction in our world. No one may enter or leave without my explicit permission until further notice. I opened it up, I'll be taking responsibility for what's in it until further notice.

VOICE
This is Nova City Guardian Weiss Schnee speaking.

As of this moment, Roman Torchwick is considered a wanted fugitive. I'll offer level 5 payment as a bounty, direct from the City Guardian office. I would encourage other City Guardians to list him as a high-profile criminal as well. Torchwick's list of crimes includes murder, theft, kidnapping, torture, evading the law and that's just from his previous experience in Genessia. Back home he's done much, much worse.

If you do not have experience fighting, do not approach him. Keep in mind that to keep him alive, you'll need to break his aura but not go beyond that except to disable him. I don't care what state you bring him in provided that he's alive and secure. No one's getting paid for killing him because killing him still means he's free. Anyone found aiding, abetting, harboring, or hiding information about Roman Torchwick is considered a criminal and will be dealt with appropriately.

ACTION; Open to Remnant House / Anyone who wants to visit?
[ Once Weiss had left the Dream Docks, she went home to change clothes and check everyone's rooms. Chances were, those who didn't know what was going on would've just been going about their lives normally, maybe at work or off doing whatever errands, but she still just wanted to see if anyone was home. She wanted to see anyone. She wasn't even bothering with privacy, instead just peeking her heads into doors as she knocked. ]

Hello?

[A voice comes on over the feed. It's been a while since Artanis addressed the community as a whole, but certainly not the first time his voice has been broadcast using this device. As before, it has a very noticeable echo to it, much like the popular depiction of telepathy. Psychics may even notice that it is telepathically based.]

I greet you once again, fellow inhabitants. Once again, I find myself seeking out advice from those who have more experience with matters in this place.

Ever since I arrived, I have been searching for a job that fits my capabilities, yet...nothing has come up. I'm afraid I am ill-suited to many of the tasks that are posted for employment.

[He's also going out of his way to avoid customer service jobs. There's no way a seven-foot tall, grey-skinned, telepathic alien without a nose or even mouth would work at making a good first impression.]

So, I must ask, are there any other sources I can seek out for employment? Ideally, a position that makes use of the skills I've gleaned would be best, if one is available. My experiences lie in the fields of politics, strategy and tactics, hand-to-hand combat, and technology -- even the level of technology in Nova City is old-fashioned compared to the society I hail from. I understand that these traits may not be necessarily in demand in a place such as Genessia, but it cannot hurt to get confirmation.

That is all. I thank you for your time.

[Sakura is a medium and while it isn’t a gift she uses all the time she is using it per Fai’s request to learn about those who call Everglade their home. She’s running all over Everglade talking to ghosts, spirits; some visible and some not to get their opinion of things.

In most cases it looks like she’s talking to air and each time she always seems to have a worried expression on her face. She has a clipboard in her arms and a pencil which she uses to scribble down notes.]


Are you sure?

[She asks the empty air in front of her with a frown.]

Okay.

[Sakura looks down at and nods feeling discouraged in her task.]

|Video|

[When the feed flicks on it looks like Sakura is over thinking. She’s chewing her bottom lip and there is a second of silence before she remembers that she had turned the phone on.]

Does anyone know what it feels like when we die?

[That sounds depressing.]

I mean… I know it’s sad but… I guess I’ve been thinking about it a lot.

[The dead deserve to rest, they sounded so sad to Sakura and the princess has begun to put the weight of their happiness on her shoulders.]

[Action - The Bay and the surrounding area]

[Artanis jolts awake with a start. It feels uncomfortably humid. How long had he been asleep? It was still dark. Had he slept the entire day?

...No. No, that wasn't it. He hadn't fallen asleep in a place so...cramped.

The realization sends a jolt through his body. Anxiously, he feels around the inside of the box he's in...then manages to push open the front. He falls out, but it's an easy effort to lift one of his legs and stop his fall before he lands in the...

...Water?

Now steady on his feet, Artanis looks around. He appears to be in some sort of body of water, with other similar boxes around him. They've all been opened. It's like no place he's seen before.

Well, first things first. He was going to try to call for help. Broadcasting his thoughts outward, he speaks.]


Karax, can you hear me?! Matriarch Vorazun! Rohana!

[The only thing that answers him is silence. He looks around, searching for a way out. But first, something catches his eye back in the box he emerged from.

Upon closer inspection, there appears to be some sort of communication device there, as well as a pendant. He picks them up and looks them over, as well as the welcome note. He then looks around, and finally spots what appears to be an exit.

He emerges into bright sunlight, and immediately he can feel nourishment. However, it doesn't relieve him much -- the surroundings are completely alien to him. The geometry and the structures indicated what might be a Terran settlement, but...it didn't seem right. Something was off.

After taking a few more steps, he investigates a device...until it activates. Suddenly, a holographic projection of a Terran female appears before him, and Artanis listens to the message. Fortunately, it fills him in better on his situation. Not that it makes him feel any better.

If he's trapped, there's a problem. He's the Hierarch of the Daelaam -- the ruler of the united Aiur, Nerazim, and Purifier factions of the Protoss. And after the End War, he's their greatest living hero. While he has no doubt that the council would be able to continue on in his absence and might be able to obscure his disappearance, he fears mass panic would break out among the general populace if they were to find out.

But first things first. He would gather as much information publicly available as possible, then send out a message asking the inhabitants here for further information.]


[Action -- Genessia, Schnee Company Welcoming Center, Amagi Inn]

[Clearly these people had never seen a Protoss before. As Artanis walks through the streets of Genessia, he draws stares left and right. Though to be fair, a seven-foot tall, gray-skinned, elaborately-dressed alien with glowing blue eyes tends to stick out like a sore thumb. It's all Artanis can do to act natural and ignore the fluctuation of emotions around him.

Eventually, he makes his way to the Welcoming Center in Genessia. After getting more information there, he leaves once again and heads toward the Amagi Inn. He's heard they offer free rooms temporarily to new arrivals, so that was as good a place as any to go.

Feel free to catch him at any point during all of this.]


[Audio]

[Broadcasting his telepathy to make it audible is easy enough. Dealing with an unknown Terran settlement, however, is a bit different. He chooses to keep the broadcast on audio for now.

Listeners will hear a deep voice with slight reverberation to it.]


To all who are listening to this broadcast, I bid you greetings. My name is Artanis, and I am a new arrival here in Genessia.

The reason why I am making this broadcast is because I seek information -- namely, information on access to our homes. It is imperative that I return home as quickly as possible, but for the moment, it seems that I cannot. But can we learn about what is going on in our homes? Can we access any detail, any scrap of information whatsoever about them? Any information, no matter how small, will be welcomed.

[OoC: Artanis has had dealings with humans in the past, and he knows how skittish and even hostile they can be to what they don't recognize. Therefore, until he can get a better read on people, he isn't going to show his face to them unless given no choice -- so video responses will be met with voice only.

However, he will be more open to showing his face to anyone who is visibly non-human! If he can tell they're not human, he's more willing to be forthright in an attempt to foster goodwill.]
