voice;

[ The first thing that comes up is a very short silence, as though the one on the other end of the feed is still giving a bit of thought to what he's trying to say. It doesn't last that long, though, and soon enough, a man's startlingly deep voice comes up, one with a slight monotonous edge to it, calm and composed, even somewhat apathetic if you pay enough attention. ]

Greetings. Sirocco, correct? That would be the city's name, as I understand. This device certainly is convenient... well. In either case, an introduction is in order, I suppose. My name is Kirei, and naturally, this is the only information I have to offer at the moment. If this city is one of a small population, it makes a certain amount of sense for everyone to be familiar with one another. Beyond being simply easier to manage such a thing when in a city with a small population, it makes things easier in case of an emergency. [ Then, another pause, and the feed suddenly switches to video, allowing one to see the face of a man who's speaking-- an adult man, probably in his mid to late thirties, wearing a dark blue coat that seems to be over something that is extremely difficult to make out, but if you look hard enough, resembles the clothes of a priest more than anything else. ]

It is generally easier for others to remember names when there is a face to accompany it. [ Then, he narrows his eyes very slightly, as though in thought, but doesn't express whatever is on his mind. ] I shall not keep you for long. This city has plenty of matters to attend to, I'm sure, more important than a new arrival. But if there is anything that those at the lab... hm, fail to mention for one reason or another, that one should know upon arrival, I would certainly not mind being informed. Better safe then sorry, as they say.

action;

[ So! After settling in, what is the first thing Kirei does? ~EXPLORE~! In other words, Kirei would be out and about today, taking a silent walk around the city, but the freaking tall guy in a coat and priest's clothes is bound to catch a certain amount of attention anyway, so you may find yourself bumping into him or just noticing him.

Alternatively, anyone coming into the restaurant on the first floor of Ermis will notice at, at some point during the day, it's completley empty- Kirei chooses his times well!- save for the guy in question who's sitting somewhere and eating amazingly huge amounts of boiling hot spicy foods. Look, this prompt was necessary, okay. ]

[[OoC: Psst! Characters only remember one name upon arrival. First, last, nickname -- your choice.]]

Uh...

[Even over the network, Shirou can feel the impressive (and somewhat intimidating) aura of this man.]

Well, uh, so far, what do you know?
wontdieifkilled: (Huh?)

[personal profile] wontdieifkilled 2012-02-11 06:17 pm (UTC)(link)
...Right. Well, uh...did they tell you that sometimes memories come back on their own? It's a lot slower that way, though.
wontdieifkilled: (Serious)

[Something about the way Kirei put that makes Shirou feel uneasy. It makes it sound like they're unwelcome.]

Well, trips out into the wilderness also get pretty dangerous. So there's some benefit to waiting around. But if people don't feel comfortable doing that, they can take jobs in the city and get anemoi that way.

So...I guess you're right in that waiting around isn't a good thing to do. There's other ways to get memories.

Uh.

[Sudden personal interest? That's just a bit unsettling.]

Yeah. Like, uh...half a year now? It's been a while.

Yeah. I can think of one or two people who have been here longer than me. I don't know how much longer, though.

You talk too much.

[ He should be very proud of his not!spawn for her honesty. ]

[Something about the guy sets Gordon on edge. Maybe it's the priest's outfit, but something about the man suggests that he's just waiting for the chance to deconstruct you piece by piece and remake you just the way he wants it... hmh. Maybe he's just being paranoid.]

The guys at the lab were pretty quick to clam up when I asked anything too. I had to scale an impenetrable wall of you'll-see-in-time's and that's-classified's and you-wouldn't-understand's. Man, it bugs the hell out of me when they do that! How would they KNOW if we wouldn't get it or not if they don't tell us everything?!

So anyway, I asked here just like you. From what I understand we have a lot of the necessities taken care of while we're groping around tryin' to remember something, which is actually pretty cool. Also I'm still fuzzy on how these anemoi crystal things work but they gain your memory back faster than just waiting around. Best place to find those are outside of town in the ruins I hear... but then you have to deal with those weird blue things and other freaks.
trustycrowbar: (I wonder...)

[Well, at least this guy's somewhat erudite...]

Not really, all I've got is hearsay. I have to admit I AM a little curious, but I sort of forgot my plus-two vorpal sword at home. I'd have to figure out how to fight with something before I even went out there. That's kind of a catch-22, isn't it? You need a weapon to go out there, to get the crystals that get back your memory, so you can remember how to use the weapon in the first place!
trustycrowbar: (What..?)

[personal profile] trustycrowbar 2012-02-12 05:49 pm (UTC)(link)
You got a point there. Maybe I'll just pick up a handgun... Those things're the great equalizer, and they can't be THAT hard to get the feel for. Plus with the way this place relies on squadrons of amnesiacs for defense, they probably play fast and loose with registering them to I don't even need a full name.

Oh right, name's Gordon, by the way, I don't think I mentioned that before.

[ His genes are flawed. More news at ten. ]

Well, what else did you want me to say? My name? Then you should ask for it. Forgiveness from the Lord? I'm working to remember just how exactly to do that.

video; I also forgot I played this girl here too SOBS

Wha-? Kirei?

[ Why does that name sound so familiar? Didn't that have to do with---!! ]

You're that jerk!!

[ The most descriptive way to describe him........ ]

[He shrugs.] Hey, I'm going on best guesses myself. I... GUESS I'm an American? Yeah, until I get evidence to the contrary I'm just gonna go with that. What about you? Kirei sounds Japanese, I think.
