Who: Charlotte, Lucifer, Leviathan and everyone
What: Halloween Hunger
When: November 8, 2014 (06:00 to 23:59)
Where: All 5 cities
Warnings: Overeating, blood, excessive biting, excessive sexual desires, obsession, violence, possible death?

Once Lucifer's network post has ended, Genessia is left silent. As he appears from one city to another, people may find their vision hampered. People may think that the entire city has darkened momentarily. But it isn't the city. In reality, it is just their eyes. And for those people who weren't affected, they'd see a black cloud covering the eyelids of those affected, before the cloud enters through their eyes.

After a few seconds, everything becomes normal again. Everyone resumes what they are doing. Nothing explodes. No one dies. Everything is safe. But is anything really safe with Lucifer in this dimension?

For those who are observant enough, they would notice that the affected individuals are incredibly hungry. They hunger for food, for water, for blood, for attention, for sexual intimacy... they hunger for those things which society dictates them to control. Their hunger knows no boundaries. People can't get enough of the good stuff. They will continue to consume even if everything in their body tells them its wrong to go any further. Nothing will stop them. They want to stop. They know they should stop. But they don't. Because for those affected, nothing is more important than feeding their hunger.

The change is gradual, but as the hours pass, their hungers increase. All control is gone. Nothing is forbidden.

WHO: Everyone!
WHAT: It's time for the Halloween ball! Get together for socializing, dancing, drinks, and flaunting your costumes.
WHEN: October 29th, 2014 - Evening
WHERE: Grand Hall, Genessia City
SOUNDTRACK: What a coincidence, the DJ likes the same music that I do. Put it on shuffle and enjoy!

The Grand Hall was decked out in fake spiderwebs stretched in the corners of doorways, and tiny plastic bats hanging from the ceiling. Stacks of jack-o'-lanterns glowed eerily in several displays, each one carved with a different face. To the right, the ballroom had a fog machine pumping white mist over the feet of the dancers while the DJ queued up a variety of songs, some for dancing, some for Halloween, some for both. There was a table with punch and water to keep dancers hydrated, and a number of spooky snacks like spiderweb cupcakes and pumpkin-shaped cuts of cheese and ham for crackers. ...If you weren't sick of cheese already.

Out in the foyer were similar tables of snacks and drinks, but there were games and activities too, such as a big washbasin filled with water and apples, a table for carving pumpkins, and a couple of fat jack-o'-lantern pinatas stuffed with candies.

[Oh look Raye seems angry what a huge shock.]

Let's get one thing straight.

[At least she's getting right to the point.]

Yes, I'm here to answer your questions. But this doesn't give you the right to treat me like a servant, or ignore what I say. When I tell you 'no' I mean it!

[She hefts her broom like an experienced samurai would heft his katana.]

If you trespass where you're not invited, or think you can push me around, I will chase you out. So think carefully before you start acting like a jerk.

[Especially if your names are Azula and Ted.]

Greetings, inhabitants of Genessia. If Guardianship is anything like being a politician, I guess I'll have to make a speech to that effect. It's a pity I don't know many of you yet; I hope to rectify that in the days to come. Moving right along, here are the reasons I ought to be the guardian of Attleton:

1. A free dessert of your choice to any and all who vote for me; I bake. Lucifer is not the only one who can tempt.

2. The democratic spirit. I firmly believe that people who head anything should be representative. Attleton, a more or less quiet suburb writ large, is a place much like where I spent the majority of my youth. I intend to keep it that way.

3. Variety. As far as I can tell, all the other guardians are of the same sort; dreadfully practical women with some measure of strength. What fun might one have, then, if you had an unpractical man with a measure of weakness?

4. Fun. Where I come from, in order to secure their positions, most politicians say things in the news that are hardly newsworthy. Rest assured, I won't rest until any and all newspapers alight themselves the moment they're printed, so aflame will the contents be.

5. Destiny. I believe I'm the only one that can truly defeat Lucifer. It is written in a legend. I'll produce it, upon request.

6. The best for last: I have found Justice. When he is properly wed, he will join me.

Thank you for your time; hopefully I've used precious little of it.

[Minako had spent a good portion of the morning under the covers, not having a care in the world, that was until she actually paid attention to what the date and time was. Wasn't she suppose to be doing work earlier this morning? But that didn't matter, what mattered was the date. One day left. This was enough to get the young girl excited.

Springing out of bed she sprinted through the door.]

Tomorrow is my birthday! [Yep tomorrow meant she would be turning seventeen and one more year before she would be considered an adult. So she had another year to act as immature as she liked before that one. She soon went back and grabbed her radio, after all the whole world and Raye needed to know what tomorrow was. Once she managed to get it on she seems to be beaming.]

Hey guys guess what day it is tomorrow? I'll give you a hint, it's a very special day? [Once she stops talking she is grinning from ear to ear and before people would even have enough time to actually answer she'll answer for them.]

If you don't know I'll tell you, it's my birthday~! I'm going to be seventeen, I'm so excited!

[If that wasn't obvious enough as it was already.] I just thought everyone should know. [With that she switches off the feed before going to see if everyone was still around. If so except an excited Minako to suddenly appear right in front of you.]

[This might be a familiar face to some people around here, even if her time here before was oddly short-lived but Megumi's back, looking a little sheepish as she speaks into the communicator.]

Wow, I didn't expect to wake up here again. I was really surprised!

[That seems to be an understatement. ... She's soaking wet.]

Um. I don't remember my way around very well, does anybody know where I can get something new to wear? I kind of rolled out of the pod after it opened.





[How did she manage that...??]

As I'm sure you all have seen by now, the results of the elections are in. I tried to assimilate into the culture here and to form a symbiotic relationship with this place. However, the people here have made it clear that they do not wish to have a Pokemon in charge of guarding this place, despite the roll of guarding nature that Pokemon take on naturally in our own world.

As such, I have little choice in the matter here. While I search for a way to escape this place, I will require sustenance. I refuse to simply starve myself for the convenience of humans, meaning the only recourse left to me is to take what I need.

If you value your safety, do not attempt to stop me.

[That damn son of a bitch got him tired, and not in a good way. He needed a break after that fight. Plus, he's been to busy checking on Orihime who was practically catatonic. Sure he's helping heal her, but he's not so sure if it was enough. Either way, his angelic body needed to rest for now. He still had plans for next month after all. So, he switches bodies.

For now, the feed opens with a familiar face. It was Kira, and as always, he had the most confident and charming smile. Isn't he just handsome? Right now, he was actually dressed too.]

Sup everyone!?

[He takes time to wink before he proceeds with organizing some paperwork.]

It's been a while since I've set up my tattoo parlor, but figured a little advertising won't hurt. I'm at Nova City, in the alley between [X] and [Y] street, and I'm good at what I do. For all the ladies who want something cute placed on yah, you get a kiss for no extra-charge.

[Winks] Looking forward to seeing all of you.

[For all those people who frequent the underworld of all the five cities, they'd recognize the address as one of the den's for recreational drugs. Of course, if you're not a frequent customer, Kira won't offer anything to you. This is a joint venture he had with Lassen after all.]

[Private to Raye]

What time are you picking me up? [He looks forward to a night of pampering from the woman who he won from the auction. Though he seriously doubted it.]

[ mamoru was no stranger to being kidnapped or finding himself inexplicably in a strange place with no memory of how he came to be there — nor was this his first time waking up in a strange pod, nevermind that his memories of the time he spent under beryl and metalia's control were (thankfully) few and faded. it was because of this prior experience he had with all three that he emerged from the depths of the bay already transformed into tuxedo kamen, his true identity hidden behind the glamour and the mask on his face.

he read the pamphlet before speaking up on the network, but having read it didn't mean he trusted it. that sense of calm that washed over him was not to be credited to the information the pamphlet provided. it was due to the presences of those he knew, beyond a shadow of a doubt, were here. somewhere. he could feel it; one of those things he just knew without trying to know, because that was simply how his power worked. they're here — she was here.

from the right angle, a pair of bright royal blue eyes could be seen peering out from behind the mask as he asked of the network the only — and most important, as far as he was concerned — thing he was interested in knowing at the moment: ]

Where is Sailor Moon?

Who: Minako, Usagi and Open obviously
Where: Nova City
When: 12th September
Summary: Minako and Usagi have set up a business and the best way to open it is a dating auction.

The rules will be as follows:

1) You can only bid fives times on one person.
2) The maximum amount of people you can bid on it two.
3) If there are no bids for a five days, it will be closed and the last bid will be the winner.
4) No bidding on one another aka if two characters are up for auction and they bid for one another. But one person can bid on one, just not both ways.
5) All bids start at 100 Red Bills.

There will be a thread for each person up as well as threads for random things such as food and general hanging around. Okay finished, have at it.

"I will kill you, Chiyo-obaasan and turn you into one of my....", said a gentle childlike voice. His tone was that of cold amusement. When his wide brown eyes opened, he was not in the same cave as the one used by the Akatsuki during extraction. There was more water in this one. And he seemed to be sleeping in what seemed to be a metallic giant egg shell.

When Sasori woke from his slumber within the Bay, he wasn't hidden underneath Hiruko. In fact, Hiruko was nowhere in sight. But in his hand was the scroll for summoning his precious defensive shell. Not that he was Sasori's favorite doll, but still, Hiruko was a very useful puppet. It was not safe for a puppet master to go around in his own body - that was a weakness for them.

So for anybody who would wish to see Sasori in his true form, they'll have to do so while he was in the Bay. The moment he leaves the Bay, he mysteriously disappears like a true shinobi.

[Video]
[After an hour, the feed opens with a masked man wearing a farmer's hat. Only his eyes could be seen, and they perpetually looked angry. The man was haunched and wore a long and large black robe with red clouds on them. He was walking slowly, as if he was old. Behind him was a long metallic tail which swooshed from one corner to another. Every step he took, a bell rang melodically.

He arrived at one end of the block. People were just standing behind him, waiting to cross the street. Clearly the pedestrian light was red. Yet, he just walked forward, ignoring everyone's warning. Each car that threatened to hit him met with his tail and was thrown to the adjacent building or road.

By the time he crossed, the road was a complete mess. It was burning with many people injured. Still no emotion can be perceived from Sasori's eyes.]

I hate waiting...[He said with a low and raspy grunt. His voice different from that when he didn't have Hiruko on.]


((ooc: During the feed, the person people will see is not Sasori, but actually Hiruko. Sasori is conveniently hidden inside. But he will introduce himself as Sasori only with Hiruko's body. I apologize in advance for him.))

[The feed opens with a half-naked Kira. He is wearing a pair of dark-washed jeans, and leather belt. In his hand is a white long-sleeve shirt which he was in the process of putting on. Everyone will also see a blood stain over his well-sculpted chest, while he's trying to close his shirt. He has his glasses on as he peers into the feed with his onyx eyes.]

Sup, everyone?

Is it safe to go out now? Not that Nova City was ever in danger, but can't be too cautious.

[He said with a cheeky smile. It's been a while since Lucifer has used this body, but he needed to rest for at least a month. So his body and powers, along with most of his memories were currently asleep. All replaced by his last human form, Kira Sakuya or Nanatsuya.]

I know some of you know me already, but just in case you don't, let me introduce myself. Most especially to all the ladies out there.

[He bows like a gentleman would. At least, someone trying his hardest to be a gentleman.]

My name is Sakuya Kira. You can all call me Kira. And to a select few...[He winks.] You can call me babe!

[He then straightens his body to give everyone a complete view of his physique.]

So, I'm looking for a job. And well, being a hot high school student and all, I don't think I have too many choices. I can use a sword. I have above average IQ. I can do sports too.

Can anyone help a guy out with expenses? Cause living here ain't cheap! And batting my eyelashes won't pay the rent.

In other words, I need a job.

[He gives everyone another wink, before he ends the feed.]

((ooc: As previously mentioned, this is Lucifer's alternate self. He will barely have memories of spending time in Genessia as Lucifer, though Lucifer will have all of Kira's memories. But he's been roaming around Genessia for months now and Kira was in fact signing up to be a part of the host club with Renge before she left and has helped Christian settle in the city. Also, just cause he's Kira doesn't mean he's nice. He's still a delinquent, though he's 100% more emotional than his angelic self.))

[The feed opens with the view of a large tree within the depths of Fayren's forests. Upon that tree was a cross and on top of it was a sign that said, 'Fayren city guardian; pray for assistance.'. Azula knows little about praying. But she had to challenge the current city guardian of Fayren for guardianship. As much as she hated it, she had to follow protocol. There was a guardian listed in the Employment Center, so she had to check if that one was absent first before she dealt with Mewtwo.]

Day 1
( There is honor in Trying! )

People of Fayren, is this your guardian? This God-person? Where is he? or she?

When the attack happened in Genessia City, its guardian was also missing. I would hate to see the same thing happen to this city! I know there are many capable citizens in Fayren, some of them I've had the honor of working with. But a city still needs a Guardian and deputies thereof.

[Private to Satsuki]
To think I would have died if your subordinate came a minute too late. You have my gratitude.

[Private to Zuko]
I'm out of the hospital. You can stop crying like a baby!

[She is trying her best to be comforting. Clearly it is failing.]

I need to keep using the pacemaker for another week. So no lightning bending from me. I...I appreciate having your presence there.

Day 2
( She is not as unyielding as an Earthbender )

[To Raye Hino] [Not Locked]
Fire Priestess. I would be honored if you would grant me an audience. I can be there in a few minutes. [She's not kidding. She will be knocking at the temple doors, regardless if its 12 midnight.]

Day 3
( What is this 'patience'-thing you speak of? )

Fayren.

This god-person has abandoned you! There is no way for us to know if she will return any time soon.

I have no intention of abandoning you. I believe I've proven my worth in a time of calamity. I have shown myself to be capable. I urge you to cease this opportunity. Use me. I am your humble servant. Allow me to be your City Guardian. I vow that you will not regret it.

[With that she ends the feed.]

[Private to Zuko]
Zuzu. I think I found a job!

Do you still expect your poor baby sister to pay that money you lent me? [Insert Azula's standard puppy face here.]

( Of death and sacrifice. )

It wasn't long before she found it and switched on. Hello people, now you can see Minako on your screens.]

Hey guys, I hope people are okay? Or as okay as one can be considering... [Her eyes look around, damage can be clearly seen, but at least she is checking people are okay, she worries about friends, okay. With that done and out-of-the-way she gives a small smile.]

If people need help that doesn't include cleaning, I'll be happy to help.

[Now there are more important matters to attend too as she switches to private.]

[Private to Raye and Usagi]

[Minako's smile had changed to one of seriousness.]

Meet me at mine and Usagi's place in an hour.

[She pauses once more before she thinks about seeing them again after what happened would be awkward, so she needed something to break the ice.]

I'll bring cake.

What: Darkness Event
Who: Lucifer and Everyone (with your choice of NPC involvement)
Where: Genessia City (Four other cities and dimensions gates are excluded)
When: July 17, 2014
Warnings: Possible deaths. Horror. Flames. Darkness. Lightning. Falling Debris. People falling off buildings.

I

From the highest building of Genessia city emerged a dark and unwavering light. It lifted up into the heavens. It brought with it obsidian smoke swirling around the light as if a shroud of darkness. In an instant the bright skies lost its light. Thick black clouds descended from the heavens. They tossed, tumbled and seemingly kissed the city's skyline. It was noon and yet the sun was no where in sight. With all light, it stole all happiness from people who saw the dreaded skies.

Loud booms, sizzles and crackles were heard beyond the clouds - as if a prelude to the coming event. This lasted a while before everything became hauntingly silent. Nothing could be heard. Everything, from the ground to the skies were silenced.

Waiting.

Aching.

And finally welcoming.

The skies glowed eerily. Dark hues of crimson, azure and silver lined certain portions of the skies. Then a white light glowed. A light which ripped through the space between ground and skies, leaving a crisp sound in its wake. The lightning bolt was strong enough to make the very ground quake at its presence. After a moment of silence, similar bolts of lightning hit different areas of the city. Continuously. Relentlessly.

Following the thunderstorms, came a foul stench raining from the skies. It smelt like rotten eggs. Suffocating. It was Burning Sulfur. With the stench came black flaming orbs which plummeted wantonly on the buildings of Genessia City. It burned anything it could get its hands on.

The terrible weather continued for at least five minutes after it had started. Never softening. Just ending abruptly after it had left most of the city in flames.

II

Not too long after the skies started to brighten, after people assumed a crude state of sanity, an ominous circle of light emerged on top of Genessia Hospital. For a few seconds, there was nothing but silence. But slowly, the circle of light expanded its terrain. Soon, it was large enough to cover the entire medical building. But still it remained silent. For people who have affinity for arcane magic, they can sense the power flowing through the circle - an energy devoid of any positive light.

A minute after the circle first appeared, the land beneath it started to quake. Every pillar and every wall shivering and threatening to fall. Then, the same fire storm that was released around the city was concentrated to fall upon the hospital building. A barrage of obsidian flames fell to the building one after another. Never stopping until the building itself hasn't fallen. After the building has crumbled the flames slowly dwindled into the bright glow of scarlet flames.

((OOC: Each part here comes after each part from Lucifer's Video Feed. So Part I from the feed comes before Part I of the Log. Each section here will be divided to sections deemed appropriate for the event. Any further questions can be addressed from the ooc-community post or from this journal. Fights Lucifer will get into are limited due to ic (after his little show, it'll be too much if he can still fight a horde of people) and ooc reasons (basically too many fights will drive me bananas).))

Interview with Ms. Filliah

This Week the Tribune reporters were able to catch the author of Hearts on Fire for an audio interview to discuss its popularity:

Q: Who are your target readers for this series?
A: Teenagers and adults both - anyone who's had their hearts set on adventure but weren't able to. Anyone who's loved someone close to them but been too afraid to say.

Q: The male lead seems incredibly similar to my neighbor, Stu. Is Stu your inspiration for Katsuo?
A: Wh... N-No, I'm afraid I don't know that person - there was someone else entirely that is my inspiration for N..Katsu..o.

Q: There are rumors of a big screen adaption of this book under production, can you confirm this?
A: Ahahaha, something like that would be not anytime soon I assure you. The thought is pretty exciting, but right now I can honestly say those rumors are untrue.

Q: You may or may not be aware of the shipping blog 'Katsuo_and_Frey_4eva' that has recently exploded in popularity, over three thousand followers, due to the scene in which the two shake hands. It appears a large number of fans have taken this as a sign of a romantic plot twist. Your thoughts?
A: ......................

[ The interview was sadly interrupted when the author erupted in peals of hysterical laughter. We hope to continue this interview at a later date. ]

[ Attached with the newsletter is another piece of paper in dark print. ]

Help Wanted!

Sienna Entertainment, in a merger with Squealix Gaming Arts is proud to announce a dynamic new gaming system in the making that will puts you the player into the game. The Veer 500 works surprisingly close to virtual reality, but before the console can be released, we are in need of several volunteers both as playtesters and models for the first game of the year.

Interested parties can reply to this add at the Tribune, attention Milton Nerdlinger.

[ OOC Or reply to this post with interest. ]

[The feed opens with a never before seen face in Genessia. Her amber eyes were cold and dark and her lips were curled satisfactorily behind her obsidian black hair. Her surroundings dark and blue light flickered behind her. But her crimson armor was apparent even with the faint light that illuminated the room.

For those people who have visited the front desk of Regency, they'd recognize the man who was standing in front of the teenage girl. He looked horrified as he was handing her what seemed to be a key.]

T-the... key... Room 301. W-welcome to the Regency, Miss Azula

See, that wasn't so hard, was it?

I-it wasn't..

I told you bowing and kneeling helped!

[When the girl took the key from the man's hand, the feed zooms out and reveals that the furniture of the lobby of the Regency was covered in blue flames. A couple of men, probably the staff, were lying on the floor unconscious with their clothes burning rapidly and their body bruised and burnt. There were also people cowering near the walls of the lobby as the entrance/exit was currently ablaze.

She twirls to look back at her things and noticed her communicator was recording. It took her a while to learn how to use this thing and to learn valuable things about the city - rather it took some citizens a lot of convincing before they told her what she needed to know.]

Is this the best welcome you could give your new Fire Lord, Genessia? Pathetic!

[When she said this, the flames surrounding the room instantly grew. The flames snapped against the air and almost reached the ceiling. This made the people in the lobby whimper and cry even more.]

I'll be in this sorry excuse for a luxury apartment until you can think of something better! Don't leave me waiting!

[Raye's partied out. That's more social activity than she's had since the Cherry Blossom festival she hosted, and even then, she hadn't really gone out of her way to talk to very many people. She leans on the railing of her apartment porch, gazing out at the city quietly. Tendrils of long black hair float in the hot summer gusts, brushing over her shoulders and the curve of her back. It's a long shot, she knows, but she's got to try. Maybe a call will be enough to shake away their encroaching apathy. Taking out her radio, she looks down at it before pressing a few buttons.]

Private Video to Jaune Arc and Harry Dresden

Haven't heard from either of you two in a while. Let me know if you're okay.

[She hesitates for a moment, wanting to say more. But she doesn't. Her gut tightens, and so does the line of her mouth.]

I guess that's all.

[The video ends as she shuts off the radio and slips it into the back pocket of her white jeans. Then, holding the railing, she leans back and takes a deep breath, letting it out slowly. It's hot out, and she'd rather stay inside with the air conditioning, but right now a walk sounds pretty good.]

[Locking up her apartment, she heads downstairs with her purse slung over her shoulder and steps onto the streets. Where to go? It doesn't matter. Just somewhere. Her sneakers are laced up tight, and the forest green tank top lets her arms breathe better in the summer heat.]

[She hopes they're not gone, but...a little voice in her head tells her she knew they wouldn't stay. Men never do.]
