Report 054 - [Video]

[followstheflame]

[This month just keeps getting better and better.  Riza had hated to leave Negi during such a horrible time, but this new city suddenly emerging in the Wastes demands her attention.  She's made her way to the top of one section of the Great Wall, separating the Safezone from the Wastes, and has her rifle slung across her back, the barrel of the weapon visible over her shoulder.  Her hair is pulled back in a hasty ponytail, as well; obviously her appearance at such a time comes second.

But it's still evident that she means serious business.]

People of Adstringendum, there is indeed a city in the Wastelands.  I can see it right now.  I don't know too much about it, but if you do approach it, please do so with caution.  We don't know what kind of tricks the Animus are up to this week.

As for anyone in the new city, we mean you no harm.

[Okay, mostly not.  There are some residents that just do not care, but she doesn't want to frighten anyone.]

If any of you can even see this message, please respond and inform me of your situation.  The more information we have of each other, the easier it should become to work together and figure this out.

Thank you for your cooperation.

[She ends the feed.]

A city in the wastelands?
It wasn't always there, was it?

[Video]

[followstheflame]

No. It seems to have appeared at midnight. The chances are it's part of the new event. It wouldn't be the first time Adstringendum and another world have collided.

Colliding worlds again.
Well, at least it's something interesting.

[Video] I apologize for this threadjack :/

[... He seriously did not just say that. Did he?]

What do you think?

[Video] O hai, Faye-Faye!

[realfolkinblue.livejournal.com]

Just making sure.
It's not like I go out into the wastelands very often.

A new city? Really?

It's been a while since the Animus have done something like this.

[Video] *pets the puppy*

[followstheflame]

Yes.

Not too long, if I remember correctly. Clearly it is still in their power to do this sort of thing.

[siriuslymagical.livejournal.com]

Guess it shouldn't be too surprising. It could also be a lot worse.

Do we know if the locals are friendly or not?

[p0ker-alice.livejournal.com]

Knowing them, it'll be something fun, I'm sure.

[Video]

[followstheflame]

That's all we can really expect.

[p0ker-alice.livejournal.com]

I don't even want to know.

[Here, have a non-human stranger show up on screen!]

Ah, hello~ Nice meeting you; I'm Trance. Though... 'misplaced' might be a better word. Or visiting, if some theories turn out to be right.

We seem to have been moved to a section of your universe during an explosion, though the two events may not be related past the timing. Our city is called Veles, and most likely the natives here will stay in the city. I talked to Sebastian a little, so I know both of our cities have the similarity of new residents being from other worlds. Most of ours are good people, but... Well, it doesn't always make them nice, and some just seem to cause or attract trouble. As long as you don't approach looking like you're ready for a fight, I don't see most of them moving in for one either.

[A non-human stranger who gives information is perfectly welcome.]

It is good to meet you, as well, Trance. I am Lieutenant Riza Hawkeye.

While our situations are unfortunate, it is oddly comforting to know that we seem to be in similar straits. However, may I ask what kind of explosion it was?

[She seems to think about the best way to word this.]

You could say Hughes and some others had a very big party. I don't think they were expecting it to turn out like this, though.

[elegantthorns.livejournal.com]

The people there, do you not think we should be concerned of them coming here?

[Video]

[followstheflame]

That is a healthy worry. We want to protect ourselves, possibly as much as they want to protect themselves. I wouldn't take it to paranoid levels, but do stay vigilant, just in case.

[Video]

[elegantthorns.livejournal.com]

A wise view.

I shall.

[ Okay... she's excited. ]

Are there shops and bars?!

[video]

[followstheflame]

[...No, indeed Rangiku hasn't changed much from the last time she was here.]

I have no idea. I haven't received that kind of information, though if they're in a situation like us, the chances are slim.

It could be dangerous anyway, even to a Shinigami.

[capuletguarddog]

[Dryly]
Thank you for pointing out the obvious.

And who put you in charge anyway?

[Video]

[followstheflame]

Since Colonel Mustang's disappearance, it is my duty as his lieutenant to carry on his stead. And in case you were unaware, he held some influence in this city for quite some time.

Has this ever happened before?

[Video]

[followstheflame]

Once, in my knowledge. Another world, Edensphere, collided with Adstringendum for a week. We all could interact, though we had to be careful because the had all lost their memories to some extent. Even saying their real names could harm them.

I hope this isn't as drastic, but we should be prepared for the worst, regardless.

[taijiya]

I'm investigating right now, actually.

Have you discovered anything of note?
