[47's out to explore the Safari Zone, making sure it's a good enough place for his precious Pokemon to stay. Of course his Pokemon are happy to see him, trying to shower him in affection and making exploration a little difficult. Once the place passes his inspection, he indulges his Pokemon with a little play, throwing things for them to fetch or letting them "chase" him around. And through it all, his natural scowl never wavers. That IS his happy face.]

((Feel free to run into 47 at the Safari Zone, or on the train going there/coming back. Maybe you can even convince him into a Pokemon Battle!))

[SCOWL SCOWL SCOWL, GRUMP GRUMP GRUMP. Don't mind him, that's just his face.]

Does no one listen to the welcome hologram anymore? It's almost impossible to exit the bay without passing by it.

[Wow, look at this girl with pink twintails on screen, she's beaming with joy and excitement about ... Everything, probably.]

Ah, hello hello~! My name is Madoka Kaname, but everyone can call me Madoka starting right now and this [stepping off of the screen herself to show a black haired girl.] is one of my best friends...

[Now when Madoka is hiding behind the device, she is encouraging Homura to speak by making cute gestures off-screen! Smiling! Looking sheepish because she has no idea what to do either! But she's silently whispering her to "say something, anything, just your name is fine too!" and whatever her thumbs up and some cheering gestures are for ... probably 'you can do it / you'll be great, Homura-chan!'. She believes in her cool girl introduction skills!! Should she apologize later for suddenly putting her up for it when Madoka could have also introduced them both? Maybe.]

[For Homura's part, she hadn't expected to be so suddenly put on the spot like this. She hadn't much to say, either, but watching Madoka's gentle encouragements does cause her cheeks to flush in a radient hue. Did... she really just call her 'cool?' Oh no, she had to say something now.

But once she's able to collect herself, she opts merely to simply bow her head politely towards the screen, in spite of her aloofness, feeling she would upset Madoka if she were not to make any attempt to reach out to their audience-- if nothing else, and speaks out clearly and directly to the camera.]

Good day, my name is Homura Akemi. I'm pleased to meet you all.

[Perhaps it's not what she wanted to say, but there's no reason to be rude.]

[Madoka looks surprised at her reaction. Huh, she's really not expecting the change of color on Homura's face at all. Did she say something weird...? Madoka's blushing and smiling too but that's normal for her. She grins at Homura's lines with a giggle and switches the thing to showing her too agan.]

Also we're looking for Sayaka Miki, Kyoko Sakura and Mami Tomoe so if they happen to be here, we'd really love to know!

Umm, we just got here and we haven't really done a network post like this before. So I have no idea what this is supposed to include and all of this is kind of lot to take in at first but that's fine! We haven't really thought about jobs yet, so that can come later once we go through that colossal list... but I'm getting the feeling that it will be hard to choose from all them. [What is she even good at doing? That's something to think about in a way that it fits employment here.]

What are your favorite places to eat here? What about some delicious places for cakes? Oh, we got keys to an apartment at El Galeón! So if there are any neighbors and they happen to see this, I hope we'll get along! That goes for everyone else too, it's nice to meet you all!

I -- I guess you can ask us anything? I'm really not sure what to say here but this seemed like a good way to say that we're here now for anyone, who doesn't happen to run into us.

♥ ACTION; around Genessia and Fayren

[Madoka keeps holding Homura's hand gently but tightly with her own. Even if she wouldn't go away this time, it's still the her current favorite way to make sure that neither of them goes anywhere alone now. Sometimes she tries to look at a map but it's more fun without it!

Walking around here and there to get to know this new place though they are only focusing on those two cities today.

And then there's shopping for their new apartment. Sailor themed bed sheets need to go as soon as they find some cute ones like rainbows! Madoka stares at all the things in kitchen departments in surprise. Come to think of it...]

Do you know how to cook? [That's technically a question to Homura but anyone can answer.]

[Not that Madoka wants to spend too much money too soon but a basic change of clothes would be great, so they can be found in clothing stores too. And food sounds like a great idea, too bad trying to find a place to eat takes time when there are so many places to choose from!]

How about this one? [Girly clothes! Or some place for eating.]


[OOC: Replies may come from both Madoka and Homura!]

Who: 47 and Aerith Gainsborough
What: Aerith visiting 47's nursery
Where: Broken Sword Nursery, Genessia
When: ...Late May, early June? Somewhere around there.
Warnings: Can't think of any, will add them if and when they become relevant.

47 strolled around the greenhouse of his nursery, checking the plants for signs of disease, damage, and the like. The door between the nursery proper and the store out front was left open, risking bugs but allowing 47 to better hear what was going on in the store. He was expecting visitors, and kept a sharp ear out.

[Winry turned on the feed and was currently surrounded by books on robotics as well as some medical journals. She figured that if her off time if she didn't have anything job related to do she would learn other things. The downside was she found she didn't really have much of a social life. She figured she should really change that since her only close friend was currently Eliot.]

I have a question. Does anyone here find it hard to want to form and gain connections here because of the possibility of them going home?

My Pokemon would like someone new to play with.

[The camera pans over his three Pokemon.]

I think that's what they've been telling me, at least.

Who: This angel and a retired assassin.
What: Bounty hunting! Sort of...
When: Backdated!
Where: Everglade to Genessia, then to Everglade again... Yeah. And at night.

 [video 1 - no replies]
[As the video comes to life, it shows a petite girl with short, messily cut red hair and startling golden eyes. She seems to be fiddling with the device until the last minute, causing it to shake and the camera to move all over the place.]

How- Does- This- Woooork? Is it magic? I'm not picking up any magical auras. [She begins tapping it with her finger.] Hellooo? Are you alive? My name is Silicon. I know this is troublesome of me, little box friend, but might you assist me? Are you my friend, or my enemy-- [She must have been waking while she played with the device, because Weiss' welcoming message can suddenly be heard in the background.

Silicon shrieks and throws the device against a wall.]

GHOOOOST!

[action]
[This is followed by Silicon tearing out of the Bay as fast as her legs can carry her. A big thank you to everyone who tried to make the Bay a calm and informative experience. But you missed the mark on this girl.]

Ghooost! Waaah-haaa I don't know any holy arts! What do I do, what do I do--- Ha! [She skids to a stop, still in a panic. Realizing she's surrounded by civilians and afraid she's led the ghost into this ?town? It looks funky. Silicon spins her long wand and turns to face the "ghost."] I-I can't let it hurt these people--- eh?

Where'd it go? Why's it not following me? H-Hey, I'm worthy prey, aren't I?

[video 2 - responses okay]
[And now she's back! Having returned to the Bay to pick up her device, after someone hopefully told her what it is. She's poking at it again, but this time she's not shaking it or anything.]

H-Hello? Is it true I can talk to people in this box? Is anyone there? May I speak to someone, please?

A friend of mine likes to cook and bake. I've been collecting recipes for a year or so in order to make her a cookbook as a present.

I think I've exhausted the locals. Does anyone have recipes from their home world they're willing to share?

I'll be testing the recipes before I put them in the book, so don't give me anything with unobtainable ingredients.

( Initial Reactions )


[Action//Here, There, Everywhere~]

[Have a seven foot man in a dark suit… who may look more like a skeleton in a wig than a man to be honest--just sort of wandering around taking in the sites, occasionally coughing into his hand and for the most part trying not to draw attention to himself. Alas, that’s kind of difficult to do when you’re this tall and there don’t seem to be too many other stupid tall people around here to detract attention, ugh.]

[And despite his best efforts, he still bumps into you and offers an awkward overly-toothy smile and an apologetic raised hand.]

Ah, sorry about that.


[Text to Aizawa]
Aizawa, it’s All Might.

[Lame text is lame but straight forward. Rational boy will probably like it.]


[Text to Midoriya]
I AM HERE! And wondering if this is really you, kid.

[Video]

[The young woman on the screen is awkwardly trying to hold her belongings -- the box she woke up with, the communicator in her hands, and what seems to be a fistful of weeds? Wildflowers? She's also got a backpack on her shoulders with a few farming tools sticking out of the back, and an empty watering can hangs from the dirt-smudged apron around her waist.]

Hello. My name is--Oop!

[There goes the box from under her elbow. It clatters to the ground, but nothing appears to be broken. She blushes, but she's still smiling.]

My name is Annie. I'm one of the farmers from Oak Tree Town. How do you do?

[She bows, and her tools clank noisily.]

Thank you for the kind welcome. I'll be staying in the Commonspace for the time being while I sort things out. ...Just a moment.

[She stoops to pick up her box, she wouldn't want to forget it there and have it turn into LITTER.]

That's better! I'd like to meet everyone in person later, if possible. I've lived in a city before, so this is a little nostalgic. But my heart is the heart of a farmer, so give me a little time to work and earn enough to buy a new farm, and you'll be treated to some of the best crops and fresh milk and eggs you've ever tasted!

[Annie bows her head and beams cheerfully, then goes to turn off the feed. Before the screen goes blank, the box drops out from under her elbow again.]

* * * * * *

[Action]

[She's searched high and low for a shipping bin to drop her foraged weeds and wildflowers into for some extra cash, but there doesn't seem to be anything like that. The wildflowers she can give as gifts, but not many people like weeds. She hates to just throw them away when they can be made into fertilizer, but without her processing machines, they're just going to take up space in her bag. Luckily, cities have garbage cans on every block, so she throws the weeds away and dusts her palms together to wipe off some of the dirt.]

[Then she's running through the city, greeting every person she sees, especially if she notices they're wearing a pendant.]

Hello! I'm Annie, nice to meet you. I just arrived!

[That should be obvious. She still has the smell of the countryside lingering about her, of freshly dug earth, cut grass, and warm hay. She's still got the dirt of her farm on her apron and under her fingernails, as well as caked on the soles of her big brown leather shoes. But even if she isn't pristine and sparkling clean, there's a natural warmth in her shining hazel-gold eyes, and a robust health in the rosy color of her cheeks.]

I hope you like wildflowers. I picked a few while I was looking around.

[Never from any public fixtures or in people's yards, but she did find some growing loose on the park grass and in vacant lots. Without waiting for a response, she thrusts one such flower forward as a gift.]

What's your name? When is your birthday?

( Restless )

[24-Hour Convenience Store]

[By the time she walks through the automatic doors, she's pretty wet, but she still greets the sales clerk with a cheerful smile before heading toward the freezer section to buy an orange popsicle. On a rainy September night. At 2:30 in the morning.]

[And a strawberry milk.]

[The cashier doesn't pass any judgment, just ringing up her purchases while she digs out her communicator, looking at the list of names she knows. She kind of wants to call someone and talk, but... They're probably all asleep, and even if they weren't, what would she say? 'I sure do miss my friend who turned into dust and I'm worried the same will happen to you so please tell me a joke and make me laugh!']

Mm...

[She lowers the communicator, troubled, only to blink in surprise and hastily apologize when she realizes the cashier has been waiting for her to pay. Hastily she digs out a pair of red bills and bows her head before hustling outside. She unwraps the popsicle and pulls up the hood of her jacket. If anyone thinks it looks weird, she'll just say she's getting used to late night patrols.]

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

[Two Hours Later]

[It looks like Orihime was trying to headbutt a vending machine. She's sleeping straight up, arms limp and swung forward, her body tilted into the machine at a perfect 45-degree angle. Her communicator is sticking halfway out of her pocket with a nonsensical message sent out to one or more people:]

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Chicago

[And there's a popsicle stick hanging out of her open mouth.]

Broken Sword Nursery is a plant nursery. I cannot babysit your children.

...Because more than one person has asked me that.

[NPC's. NPC's have asked him that. "If this is a nursery, where are the babies?" The not-so-bright ones.]

And as it will be autumn soon, we now have more plants that do well in cooler weather and less sunlight.

[Yes, perfect segway into an advertisement. Perhaps he's got this "business owner" thing down?]

[Private Note to Cake Town Staff]

I've got some ideas for Cake Town, so I thought we might have a quick meeting after we close tonight. I think we're ready to start growing, so I might have some new job opportunities that you guys should have first choice of taking if you want them!

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

[Public to Everyone]

[Orihime appears, looking as cheerful as she normally does, and bows politely in greeting before rising with her hands clasped in front of her chest.]

I saw that a lot of people are looking for jobs, so I just wanted to let people know that Cake Town is always hiring! If you want to bake, or cater, or be a bouncer, we can definitely find a place for you to fit in!

[Did she say 'a bouncer'? She hasn't batted a lash, so she might be serious. Or maybe she thinks she's being funny again. Who can tell?]

Even if you only work for a month until you can open up your own business, we don't mind at all. It's a fun place to work, and you get to take home the things we didn't sell that day, so that's a fun bonus, ne?

[She beams. Free donuts is a pretty good perk in her opinion.]

Just let me know! We're pretty informal, honestly. And if you'd rather be a customer, we've got a new summer menu lined up that we're very excited about. Please give it a try!
