NEWS & ADVERTISEMENTS

- Who will be crowned Cutest Kid in Port?
AGI and the Underground Mall Clubs Association join to sponsor The Fall Children’s Fashion and Talent Pageant, held at the Mall’s Memorial Auditorium at 4pm today and broadcast on AGI basic cable’s primetime spot later in the evening. AGI will also be showing short featurettes throughout the day, spotlighting the precious tots and their pushy pageant moms. Along with a $15,000 grand prize check, the pagent winner will become spokeskid for AGI’s Afternoon Television Programming, aimed at schoolage children.

- The City Fairgrounds is seeking volunteer creative teams with “A Flair for Scare”, to concept and carry out original walkthrough Haunted Houses for this year’s Halloween Festival starting on the 20th of October in Sector 5. The event’s coordinator found himself short handed this year after announcing plans for interactive horror entertainment, when the Sanguinarian Society abruptly withdrew funding.

Spookers with experience in set design, lighting, costuming and monster makeup are in high demand, as well as volunteer actors to frighten guests! This is a great way to showcase your creative talents, put a unique twist on seasonal themes and participate in one of the busiest community festivals of the year. Haunted House creative teams may opt to charge a small ticketed admission fee to fundraise for any non-profit organization or charitable cause.

archangelflonne

[Nestled away in a well decorated room and with a fluffy white rabbit on her lap is the mighty archangel Flonne. Before she starts speaking, she nudges the rabbit off her lap, which hops off to a corner and curls up for a nap.]

So, I was thinking recently. I've been here for some time now. I forget how long. I should have marked a calender, I guess. Its been some time, but I really don't know many people. And some of the people I came to know just suddenly vanished from existence, too! Well, at least from this place. It was probably good for them, but not so much for me. I sort of grew used to being surrounded in people back home. I knew people from all sorts of different worlds! And...and I miss my giant robot, too! How am I supposed to strike fear into the hearts of villains with Great Flonzor X?!

[She takes a moment to compose herself.]

But anyway, I'm just sort of curious. About the sort of people that are around me now. I pay attention to the news, but that isn't the same as actually knowing people. For all I know, there might even be people I know and I just haven't found them yet! Oh, but I suppose this is a good chance for me to reintroduce myself as well, since its been so long since I did. Unless I didn't do it the first time. Is there some way to pull up old videos on this thing? Its so much harder for me to work then a bluray player. I guess I'll figure it out eventually. Anyway, I am the archangel of love and justice, Flonne! Please don't treat me too differently from a normal girl though. Has anyone out there heard of a place called Celestia? It is where I am from. Oh, and don't be scared of me if you're some sort of demon, either. Some of my best friends have been demons, I don't believe in hating so I sure won't hate you for that!

[She won't bother filtering this from the Espada. They doubtless already know the information she's about to relay, and if any try to snipe at her, she's more than capable of handling it.]

[Retsu is prim and composed as always, giving little indication of what may be going on beneath the surface.]

To anyone it may concern, Kuchiki Byakuya has been returned home by the Core. If there are any loose ends that need to be attended in regard to this, please let me know and I will do what I can to help.

Current Mood: contemplative

There've been so many departures lately. It really is random, isn't it, how long we stay? I've just realized that it's been a year for me in this place. Though I missed my first "anniversary", as it were. [A slightly amused chuckle.] Fitting enough, considering I forgot my own birthday earlier this year.

[She looks a little reflective now, gaze casting out the window. It's after sirens, so anything could be going on, but from the sounds of it, all is quiet around the boarding house.]

A year can be a long time for some people. Can be full of things they've never had to do before. Is there something in your life that you've done only once? How many of you ever consider doing it again?

[It seems something of an odd question from her, and she's not even clear why she's asked it herself.]

Current Mood: thoughtful

itsjustafruit

[For someone who hasn't been seen on the network before (or has he? is there a certain nagging familiarity about him?) this chap looks unruffled, freshly pressed in a button-down shirt and tie, and arrogantly unperturbed behind his dark sunglasses. His accent is crisp and English and says "London, money, and education." His accent is lying, and then again, it isn't.]

There is the expected, the unexpected, and apparently there is Siren's Port. Monsters at night, super-powered people of all persuasions during the day, and this network can't even do me the decency of showing me something truly new.

The name is Crowley. [Pronounced like the black bird, "crow-ly".] Since I can't get anything new, I will take recommendations and directions to a proper bar or pub.

[Here's a girl in a pair of jeans and a tank top. Her hair's up in a messy bun and there's a broad smile on her face.]

Finally got an interview! There's a school here that's hiring dance instructors for the fall semester and they're hoping someone can take up some lessons after school for tutoring and all of that. They gave me a call back, told me to prepare a few routines to show them and...

[She just grins, stretching up on her toes. It's hard to contain her excitement.]

It just feels really good, even if this place utterly sucks sometimes. At least I don't need to worry about not making my bills or anything.

[She needs to figure out a new place to live, too.]

...Oh, but before I forget. Has anyone seen Dante? Tall, kind of brooding, silver hair? Wears red? I tried calling him and it seems like his phone's disconnected.

symmachy

[scatty is standing in the middle of an empty room. there are a few black mats spread over the floor, but otherwise the entire place is done up in white and cream. there are all kinds of weapons leaned up against the wall behind her--katanas to bows to nunchaku. she looks entirely too pleased with herself, even if she appears too pale for comfort.]

Finally finished setting things up for my dojo. For the time being, basic lessons will continue to be free, but I'll work out prices for advanced weapons training. Any weapon, any style.

[she pauses, glancing behind her as if she's heard something. she mutters something in a foreign (read: dead) language, and then turns back to the camera.]

Right. As always, feel free to drop by if you're interested.

revengeisalie

[Have a Rin with dark rings beneath her eyes peering at you.]

Ahh... this place is so exhausting! Lights blinking at you every which way. I've seen panels with moving pictures on them in every other window while walking on the streets. Then there's the self-moving cars, I keep forgetting to watch out for those when I'm just leaving a building!

And the sirens! Seriously, that one siren just goes on and on. Do they have to do that? I'm kind of curious about the Darkness, but most of me thinks "yeah, maybe next century".

[She momentarily doubles over.]

In which my bones may well lie on this soil.

[Zip! Back upright. As you do.]

Anyway, the point of this whole rant is, I need a job. Uhm, I don't really have experience, but I guess I can do housework all right. And I'm polite and get along with people. I could also carry things if they're not super heavy.

Uhm, I hope you will consider me... ?

[Guess who's back, back again? Alice's back....don't tell a friend because she's pissed.

Well, annoyed. She really doesn't have it in her to get pissed off at the little things.]

So you're telling me in all this time I was gone, no one thought to go and clean up my studio? Even check up on it at all? There's dust everywhere, all of my fabric has to be washed and dry cleaned now.

There's even food and blood in the fridge that's gone so bad I think it might be alive again.

[It wasn't her food, but the blood was. Do you people have any idea how hard it is to get cow blood bottled like that?!]

Well, if anyone wants to give me a good explanation, I'll be here. In my dusty apartment.

Alone.

failedparenting

[John has a slightly upsetting message to deliver to the city at large.]

For anyone who knew him, Bigby Wolf is gone from the city. As far as I can tell, he's been gone a few days. If anyone wants anything of his, you can come see me at the apartment.

[Doot beep boop, here's the address.]

Anyone who worked with him might want to come check it out. I don't know if he had anything from active cases, so....just get this out of here. Please.

[Ooop, he might be more upset about this than he wants to admit.]

[ Filtered to her employees ; easily hackable ]

Luke, you're in charge until Wednesday. Try not to burn my shop down.

[ /filter ]

So, as most of you all know, we have our very own celebrity, Marco. He hasn't hit it big yet but there's no harm in making a fan club, yeah? A little encouragement won't overly inflate his ego. [ She giggles. ] That'll come after he has his face all over the tabloids.

Oh, and Yosuke? If you're planning a surprise party for me, don't hold it at my apartment. Some of the Darkness got in and I need to clean up before it's inhabitable again.

ex_prodigism243

[ Hello Network, today you're greeted by a bespectacled teen in summer clothes who looks pretty unfazed about finding himself in Siren's port. There's a sniper rifle casually slung over his shoulder and he's obviously moving, but his hand is steady enough that it doesn't turn the feed shaky at all.]

Hello everyone, I'm Yukio Okumura and I've been here before— which was a year ago, I believe. I remember everything about this place and I was told then that the Core likes to send people back home and then bring them back here again, but well. It was a difficult concept to grasp then. Not anymore now, I suppose. Does it happen often? And to those it happened to as well, did you remember Siren's Port when you returned home? That's all I wanted to ask.

[ He pauses, about to cut to feed, before he remembers and adds: ]

Oh, and just like before, I offer my services as an exorcist and my medical knowledge to anyone who needs it.
