Has anyone been to that fog-city yet? I know the area outside the wall's pretty dull, but I haven't had much time to explore too far. And who all is going to that party whatshisface mentioned?

[She is!]

[For someone who's just been kidnapped and brought to another world, Ikaruga seems to be taking this all in stride. If anything, the pink haired woman almost looks amused by the situation.]

My, my. Kidnapping a lady? How unseemly.

[There is one thing she's pleased about - her sword is in tact.]

Still, I do owe some small token of my gratitude. Debt shall be repaid for a gift as precious as the stars.

[She looks about ready to turn off the communicator before turning to the camera again with a little bow of her head.]

I am called Ikaruga. It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance.

[Laura is walking through the now colourful land of Asgard. She looks less like someone who is appreciating the beauty of nature and more like a caged animal pacing.

She raises her communicator to give a panoramic view of a multi-hued area of the streets of Asgard, moving it around to prove her points.]

The gods cannot be relied on to keep their word. They will probably try to hold onto us for insurance.

[Pessimistic? Just a bit. But then, Laura has never been a ray of sunshine. It's not in her nature to see the bright side of life.]

( Spira House )


With Blonde Bombshell’s influx of business, we’ve decided to hire two additional workers. We are looking for anyone with Blacksmithing experience. If you are interested then come over to the shop and fill out an application. You can find us over in the Heimdall district.

Now that that's done, how is everybody?

[ooc: Job app can be found over on this page. You can post it there too.]

[The feed starts with both Rikku and Gippal in the screen. Well, sort of. Rikku’s trying to get front and center, while Gippal just stands there and stops her]

Gippal, I wanna do it!

I know you do, Rikku. But I let you pick the name of this place.

Fiiiiiiiiine [huff!]

Good girl. [Gippal ruffles her hair before turning back to the camera.]

Hey! [Cue Rikku furiously fixing her hair while Gippal blabs]

I’m here to announce the opening of a new store in the Heimdall distract owned by me and this little lady right here. [Gippal nods his head in Rikku’s direction.]

The store is called Blonde Bombshells We provide a number of services such as the creation, repair and even modifications of different weapons.

[Rikku nods, her hair finally fixed] Yep! We’ve got posters going up, too. [She holds up a poster] We thought now was the perfect time for one, what with the war and the dragons and all that

So if you are in the market for a basic weapon or if you have something special in mind that you’d like to see if we could make, then swing by.

Gippal here’s good with the actual making, and I’m doing most of the mods. We’re not hiring right now, but if we need to hire more people, we’ll let you know! We can do guns, blades, and things to bash people, as well custom stuff, like Gippal said. We’ve got a full list in the shop, so swing by!

[Rikku waves at everyone and Gippal shuts it off.]


[ooc: Green is Rikku and red is Gippal.]

[When the feed starts there are two people visible, Euri and Shu. Euri has a forced look of determination on her face, even though she's fidgeting slightly. She's never used the video option before due to her appearance, so this is uncomfortable. Even moreso considering the subject they're going to be focusing on is one that terrifies her.]

Hey, all you assholes! Listen up! We've got something important we need to tell you all!

[Unlike Euri, Shu looks uncertain. He's over complicating things in his mind and he's second doubting himself. Maybe this wasn't such a good idea after all.]

Assholes? Euri, you should be more polite. You can't go around calling people assholes.

[She does have a point though.]

I apologize for her behavior everyone. [Pause.] Um...I would appreciate it if you all took the time to listen to us speak.

There's something dangerous out there that I think you all deserve to be aware of.

[Euri rolls her eyes and hisses back quietly.]

They won't listen if we don't get their attention!

[Then she raises her voice.]

Yeah! There's a vampire out there named Diva who's been attacking people! [She nudges Shu in the side expectantly.]

That doesn't mean we should be rude about it.

[He thinks he's the last person people would listen to. At least Euri is here to bail him out.]

I know it sounds a little scary and sudden, but what Euri is saying is true. I was one of her victims.

[As proof, he'll show the injuries he received from Diva that night. They're bite marks located around his neck. Gross.]

I'd like it if all of you took the time to consider what we're saying. Really think about it.

[Good boy, Shu. Having evidence really helps their claim.]

Not just that! If you see her, kill her! At this rate she's going to kill someone.

Everyone, please be careful. This isn't something you should joke about.

We're talking about innocent lives here. Diva is far from innocent. That's all we need to say. Excuse us.

[The feed turns off.]


[ooc: the red font is euri and the green font is shu o/]

A hot tub? I didn't expect for that to be the prize that we'd get. Not gonna complain about it, though.

Don't forget to thank Hana, everyone. She was the brains behind the cupcakes.

[ Tidus is wagging his wrist, suggestive that he smarted it somehow. After muttering something about a stupid bracelet, he glances at the screen with small surprise and seems to forget all about bruise forming on his wrist joint, a result from hitting his bracelet against a table until it worked. ]

O-oh, hey! Hey! Has anyone seen my old man—err, I mean Jecht? I've been looking everywhere, and I haven't seen a sign of him!

[ Evidently, there's a PB&J sandwich sitting nearby. He takes a generous bite out of it and talks with his mouth full. ]

Y'know, I ha' a fee'ing tha'—[ swallow ]—I'm not where I was supposed to go. I mean, I've never heard of a place called Asgard before. And who is this Thor guy, anyway? I don't recall ever pledging my allegiance to him. I swear, if this turns into another Yevon situation, I'll… I'll show 'im!

[ He sighs and takes another bite of his sandwich. He doesn't even know what his options are. With a headache forming, he ends his train of thought prematurely and scratches the back of his neck. Then, he seems to address the screen more personally. ]

Look, Dad, if you're around here… well, I'm not in a hurry, I guess, but I want to say a few words to you now that everything's settled. And you being here also means I'm in the right place, which I feel isn't the case. Or who knows, really? So anyways, just say something or come find me, if you're there.

And to everyone else? The name's Tidus! I'm from... [ shrug ] Zanarkand!

[ Finished. He pops the last of his sandwich in his mouth. ]

[ It's almost evening, and though it seems the serious-looking woman in this video feed is in public - her back pressed to a wall that might be familiar to those observant enough to recognize the area around the city's central castle, her face flushed from the ambient cold - this particular message is very private.

As in, private to the entire populace- except the other 'traveller' who shares her face and name. Yes, Lightning actually went through the entire list, picking people one by one and completely disregarding how long it took her to do so. She means business. ]

I think it's pretty clear by now everyone's been stripped down 'power'-wise, but is there anybody who can still do something not handed down by these gods?

[ She takes a breath, annoyed. Addressing a lot of people at once, in so many words, really isn't her thing, but she's damn determined. Even though there's been others trying to do their own information-gathering, of course, she needs to make these specific questions very clear and get some solid answers before it drives her crazy. ]

Otherwise, is there any power here that lets its user imitate others? Anything at all.

[ And with that, she waits, trying to hold back her poor mood and any second guessing over what she should and shouldn't have said. What the video doesn't show so well is just how armed and stiff she is while going out now, caught up in her suspicion.

However, it isn't long before she finally decides to start heading 'home' again- to terrorize the poor people unfortunate enough to share a House with her. ]

[The video feed switches on and shows Gippal. He just finished looking over the basic functions of this thing.]

Huh. This thing recording now? Can anyone hear me over this thing? [He waves his hand a bit in front of the holographic screen. It's not exactly like the tech he has in his world.]

Looks like it’s working. [He’s gonna feel silly if it’s not. But anyway, now it is time for introductions.]

The names Gippal. I’m from this world called Spira. Anybody else here from there? If you are, you need to speak up now. If you aren’t, then just feel free to introduce yourself.
