So now we've got some full size monsters, huh? Seems like a good week for stickin' close to home, between those things out there and the snow.

I've gotta admit I'm gettin' a bit sick of the homebody life over here, though - anybody got a decent pair a shoes size 25 or bigger? I'll trade ya coffee beans or an art commission for those. Same goes if you've got a bottle of liquor lyin' around anywhere.

If ya do and you're not livin' in Latimir... we'll work somethin' out for pickup. Stay in.

[Yeah, that cut-off little snap! noise might've been a shock, but it's a little hard to tell from the unruffled Japanese drawl as the video comes on to show a section of wall splashed with brightly colored graffiti art. The image pans over a tree dripping red and yellow, leaves swirling into a blue cloud, fish leaping over crosses that cast writhing shadows that bleed into a riotous nebula of green and gold. A few small drifts of snow have collected at the bottom edge of the wall.]

Just so ya know for the next couple days: Caution, wet paint. Anybody wanna name another spot around here that needs spicin' up?

[The video feed pans back to Hanekoma's grinning face, looking a little worse for wear without eyebrows and stubble noticeably patchier than usual.]

Speakin' of things that could use work... hey Alpha, you got a roaster in that coffee shop, and can I borrow it for a batch or two?

Anybody wants to talk me into trading some coffee beans for brewin' or sproutin', just make an offer.


[ooc; open for commentlogs if anyone happens to be walking by Latimir; Hanekoma's mural is on the dilapidated building next door.]

[after this...]

[Between the freezing wind and the group of zombies he'd had to flee from, Hanekoma arrived at the Latimir apartments in an even fouler mood than he'd been in when Minamimoto had hit him with the exploding penguin. He couldn't feel his toes. He could, unfortunately, feel his face.]

[He took a deep breath and let himself into the building. No point in brooding. It had been a good shot. And as revenge for putting Sho's clothing up for sale, well, it was about as subtle as he could have expected. Less annoying than the broken leg he'd had a few months back....]

[Trying to convince himself that the irritation wasn't worth the effort, he stalked up the stairs. Of course, it wasn't worth it. It was just that he hadn't seen it coming. And he was not used to that. Least of all from an ex-Reaper with an exploding penguin.]

[Well. No helping it. If he was lucky, he'd get back to his apartment to clean up and assess the damage without running into anyone on the way....]

...Well, now, that's funny.

I could've sworn I was back in Shibuya for a couple seconds there. Guess my mind was playin' tricks on me. That lovely lakeshore sure isn't anything I'd expect in Tokyo.

Sure isn't anything I'd expect in my apartment, either, and I recognize this little note they left me.

Hey there, Discedo.

Lemme guess - it's been a while?

I'd appreciate somebody fillin' me in while I make my way back to less soggy ground. Just how long has it been? Seems a bit colder than the last time I was here.

By the way, if anyone listenin' to this thing has a hand on the controls of whatever you use to drag us here, leave me a bit longer next time, won't ya? I could've grabbed a bag of beans.

Hey Josh, bad news - looks like the library's lost everythin' except the fiction section and some how-to books. Not that the fiction isn't interestin' stuff. I could probably drop some by your place on my way back home.

That said... it has been way too long since I worked on a canvas that was the right size.

Anybody wanna point me at a boring wall with a good view?
ceiling_cat: smiling intent expression (mostly awesome)
Heyyy, Catnip, got that painting done for ya. It's down here if you wanna come get it - otherwise, my leg's doin' well enough that I can drag it upstairs for ya. Got a preference?

And the camera goes to video, focusing in on a section of a carefully smoothed and painted board. )

She's been gone for a couple days now, and her frequency's off the network... so it looks like Shiki's been sent back to Shibuya. She'll be doin' all right back there, if I recall correctly.

About her box of cloth... anybody takin' over that sewing club she had planned? Wanna look after it? Materials oughta be used properly.

How's that cold of yours doin', Catnip?
ceiling_cat: hand on chin, thoughtful (i see london)
So we've got earthquakes again... I haven't felt any tremors over here, though. Anyone know what might be goin' on over there?

That aside... I've been stuck in here more'n long enough. Gotta keep myself entertained somehow. Anyone up for a card game? Poker, blackjack; anything but solitaire. I'm settin' up in the front hall of Latimir.
ceiling_cat: serious expression (this is my serious face!)
...This place....

Now, isn't that funny! I can't say I recognize anything around here... place could use a little maintenance, though, couldn't it? Shame seein' a nice place so run down.

Goin' by the look of things out that window, though, you guys've got worse problems. Red ash... that's nastier pollution than I'm [he pauses, sounding uncharacteristically uncertain] ...used to?

Can't be normal. I couldn't tell ya what is normal in this place, though, so it'd be handy if someone chimed in.

Nice ta meetcha all, while we're at it.

I'm...

...huh.


[Hit by Josh's chip removal, since his own chip's still firmly in place... I couldn't resist breaking hiatus for this one. Complete amnesia, though he remembers cultural context and can use all his normal skills. Tags may be slightly slow, but I'm stealing my cousin's connection for the evening~]
ceiling_cat: casual smile, eyes closed (content enough)
Sorry 'bout that, guys. I'm in one piece.

...Still got it, too, Sho. Pockets're useful that way.

Everybody else all right? And, Shiki, that offer of crash space still open? I'd be obliged. Seems like the old place's a fixer-upper all of a sudden.

The recent seismic activity is becoming more severe. As yet, the building in which I am residing has not suffered structural damage. This may not last. A number of other buildings in the city display signs of earthquake damage, up to and including complete collapse; if this continues, evacuation of the larger, more vulnerable buildings may become a necessity.

My evaluation of the chip obtained from Minamimoto will have to wait until a less precarious workspace can be obtained. Given the scarcity of the resource, I wish to obtain as much information as possible from this one device; conditions should therefore be optimal.

The Composer has been distracted by the arrival of his Proxy, bringing to eight the number of those involved in the Composer's Game to be taken by Discedo's scientists. Their choices are unusual: although a number of the individuals here were genuinely influential in the events of the weeks previous to my arrival in Discedo, others were simply proximate. I suspect that the scientists' method of selection is

Not to distract you guys from everything goin' on, but I hear there's a lab over at the school where a guy might pick up some tools. Anybody know who's runnin' it, and whether they'd mind me stoppin' by to borrow one or two?

If they're not for public use, I'd be just as happy with directions to the industrial district or any hardware shops this place might have.

I've gotta ask, with all the confusion going on... this place has a police force, doesn't it? What have they been doing lately?

Not meanin' to step on any toes, here, but it might calm people down a bit to get the official word.

One, two, testing... Anybody out there? There's gotta be; whoever left me this gizmo didn't intend it to be a paperweight.

Let me tell you, I'm not real impressed with the state this place's in. Looks like you guys are just letting it crumble. Forget civic pride, it's just depressing, ya get me? Tell me there's somebody around here who cares enough to brighten up a wall at least. Plant a couple flowers. Pick up some trash before it starts rottin' in the gutters... but I'm getting ahead of myself!

Think I can convince a kind soul to tell me what's goin' on here?
