[AUDIO]-Not So Intentional

[There is a buzzing and a beeping noise that can be heard through the World Mobiles. Everyone's devices click on so that the announcer can be heard.]

----bzzzzzt---

...So it's coming straight for us?

[There is a slight murmur of noise before another bzzzzzzzt covers it straight up.]

I don't know what to do with them, either. I--

bzzzzzzzzzzt

Understood, we don't want them to be killed here.

[The Feed ends there.]

[Video]

[The feeds clicks on and reveals that Fai is still dressed in his typical baker's employee wardrobe. It's clear that he has just finished cooking up something since there is flower practically covering him.]

Hello everyone!

I hope you are all having a pleasant work day! I don't mean to distract you from your work by it seems I've once again overstocked the shelves. I have all these extra goodies and not enough people to share them with.

The nice people in charge tell me that I need to get rid of it because it will go bad, but I hate to see it go to waste. So if anyone is interested in some very discounted baked goodies, please stop by the bakery soon!

Hope to see you~

気:一 [VIDEO]

[Hakkai is sitting at Central Station, there is a white dragon hovering over his shoulder as he peers into the camera of the World Mobile.]

Hello? I hope I'm using this function correctly.

The situation has been explained well enough for me for the time being, but if anyone knows anymore than what the initial video has told me, I would appreciate the additional information.

Also, if anyone has seen three other men-- [He holds up three long, slender fingers]
One is a tall redhead usually seen with a cigarette in his mouth by the name of Gojyo.
Then there's a blond with violet eyes wearing traditional priest robes that goes by the title of Sanzo.
And lastly, a short brunet who has golden eyes and a diadem on his forehead who we call Goku.
[He lowers his hand.]
Could you let them know that Hakkai is looking for them? Thank you very much to all who can see this.

[He bows his head politely and ends the feed.]

[ Video ] A Vampiczar Arrival!

[ When the feed clicks on, Kaname's face can be seen gazing into the WM. The happy voice of the device chimesout to alert Kaname of his new position. ]

"Welcome to your new position as a World Mart Beauty Technician!"

[ Kaname blinks once, slowly. He is sitting in a couture coat which is unbuttoned, and a sharp-looking button up, vest, and slack combination. ]

...Beauty Technician... [ And in some sort of common thriftville, no less. Well. He had certainly heard of stranger things. But still... different dimension? New job? Pay for his right to exist? ]

[ ... ]

[ Well, even Kings had to start somewhere. He reaches out with slender fingers, picking up the device. His mahogany eyes are the last thing the feed picks up before it clicks off. ]

[It's becoming clear to Allen that there's a bigger problem here then just the lights being out and all of them being stuck here. So, it's time to approach this situation like he would an emergency situation if he were still an Exorcist with the Black Order, irrespective of his own excommunicated status.

When the video clicks on, Allen is actually somewhere with light that isn't just from the WorldMobile display itself, though the additional light isn't incredibly bright.]

I think we need to try to organise and protect ourselves since it's becoming clear something strange is going on beyond the loss of power.

Since being brought here, I've been assigned to the produce section, and there seems to be some limited light here. Has anyone else found any other sections that have light? If there are other areas we should try and make a note of them and try to make those common meeting areas.

Also, based on what we've been seeing on the network, people are being attacked. Does anyone know who--or what--is doing this? Is anyone seriously injured and need medical attention, or general assistance? We should try to stay in pairs or groups, so again if we can make any lit areas sites to congregate we have more chance of keeping an eye on each other.

Finally, I'm sure we're needing to eat and make shelter by now, but I would advise everyone make a list of anything and everything you eat, drink, or use. Oh, and if you borrow any of the products try not to damage it. And keep the packaging in tact if you can.

[Allen doesn't trust you, WM higher-ups...]

Aside from that, does anyone have any additional thoughts, suggestions or ideas?

001st. [video]

[After watching the intro video in his world mobile, Takeru immediately heads for World Mart from the Employee Dormitory. The video did say that he has to earn his way home, and while he doesn't entirely believe this, World Mart might have all the answers he needs. It's a good thing he already has prior experience when it comes to being summoned to different worlds. The Digital World will always be the cream of the cake for him, but this is almost equally strange. Is he really in a different world or just somewhere in the universe? And since when do companies kidnap people to make them work? He hasn't even finished elementary school yet!

These questions will have to take back seat when he finally arrives at the World Mart entrance. Wait, it's closed?? But how can this be? He has to find answers! Okay, calm down, Takeru, what now?

--Oh, yeah. He has his world mobile with him! He can't be the only one summoned like this, right? Maybe, just maybe--]

Hello, can anyone hear me? [There's an audio recording first before it jumps to video as Takeru fiddles with the device. He looks a little distressed while he's currently in his pajamas. Oops. Seems like they pulled him while preparing for bed.]

My name's Takaishi Takeru and I don't know how I got here, but... [He points at his device.] There's a video here that says I have to work in this shopping store. It seems to be closed, though. [Looking back to check, he only frowns and pauses. After a while, he sighs and turns back to his mobile.]

I'm sure I'm not the only one who... well, who's here, so maybe someone can help me? [Through everything, he manages a smile.] I'd really appreciate that. Thank you. [And he cuts off the feed.]

[Video] Something's creeping in the dark.

[ Somehow Bug's communicator turns on, it's obvious the rabbit wasn't really paying attention to it as he's humming softly to himself as he walks through the produce section of the store. Thanks to the lights out it's dark but there's still enough of a glow from the emergency lights that one can see what he's doing from a handcam perspective. He's heading over to the carrots and a gloved hand reaches out as he contemplates which to pick. ]

Hm, dis looks good.

[ He starts to pick one up when a low growling sound can be hear stilling his hand. ]

Uh...maybe it's just me, but I don't tink carrots are supposed to make dat noise.

[ There's a rustling sound right behind Bugs and he turns to look behind him. There's something moving right behind the cabbages, and the noise it's making sounds a little too much like a dog or worse. ]

Nice doggy...

[ Bug's starts to back away from the noise. The creature makes an appearance but it's silhouetted by the glare of the emergency lights showing only the outline of a large furred creature. It lunges at Bugs causing the screen to go black. ]

✘ 001. [ video ]

[ Aoko hadn't wanted to play into World Mart's hands. She'd been doing her job, but she was adamant that she wasn't living here - she wasn't going to socialize, wasn't going to get used to this because she was going to go home.

...The blackout is enough to urge her to reach out, turning on her communicator to speak with the others in the same situation. ]

Is everyone okay? There've been some strange noises, but luckily this place doesn't seem too dangerous. [ At least, from what she's seen, it's not. ]

Anyway...does anyone want to play a game? There's not much to do during a blackout like this, and it's kind of boring.

[ Goes to shut of the video...except wait, she has one more thing to add: ]

Oh, wait, one more thing! Nobody better make any big messes while we're stuck here....because if Aoko has to clean up after you, she won't be very pleased.

[ Okay, now she's done. ]

[Video] Darkness Prevails

[ It's late at night on Friday. Naruto doesn't really know how much he can take of this whole "trapped in his business" thing. He's managed to make some sort of nest on the hard, unforgiving ground that his World Mart, mainly using things from the Home department. ]

[ Its dark, and currently the ninja is sleeping on the floor. The WM had clicked on at some time on the ground beside him, casting a glow over the area surrounding Naruto. He was sheltered in the Clothing department. ]

[ The feed was mainly silent at this hour... but then... ]

[ Shuffling sounded around the blond. It was dark, but for some reason it looked like there was something moving in the background of the dark feed. It was hard to tell. ]

[ A furry mass slapped over the screen, shrouding the feed in darkness. ]

[ And there was a scream before it cut off. ]

[[ooc: ...Video or Action! Save Naruto from the pack of fur coats? ]]

[ Pre-Event Post] Mandatory Meeting

[ Over the World Mobile, a familiar voice sounds out. ]

Attention, all Employees.

A mandatory meeting will be held this week on Aulderday, at 7am. All employees will be required to attend. I repeat, All World Mart Employees will be required to attend.

Thank you.

[[ ooc: You heard the lady! All characters will be required to attend the mandatory meeting... the event post will be going up either Monday or Tuesday, so keep an eye out for it! and as always, feel free to comment to this post OOCly or ICly. Just be sure to mention if its OOC! ]]

Hello everyone!

I hope no one got too scared at the carnival the other day. Wasn't it exciting?

I just wanted to say hi and to let everyone know that I am in the process of making pies. Lots of pies! A special request was made for them.

Oh, I should mention that my name is Fai and I'm one of the bakers around here. So does anyone have any requests? I'll make just about anything but you'll have to wait until I'm done with the pies.

[He laughs as a thought suddenly hits him.] I'm Fai and I'm making pie! It rhymes rather well~

[With that he goes back to his baking.]

[ Audio ] - Sincere Apologies -

[ The WM clicks on. The Announcer's clear, feminine voice is crisp as she recites the following: ]

The following is a thank you to all Employees whom attended the carnival brought in celebration of our swell of new arrivals. Unfortunately, for those whom remained after hours, it seems the Carnival we imported had a few... ...quirks.

[ There is a bit of silence on the line. ]

For those whom were caught in the unfortunate happenstance, we apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you. Therefore, the ETR has decided to reward you one (1) star, as a token of your efforts.

May you continue to climb to the top, and pay for your right to exist.

[ The audio buzzes, as if about to cut off. However, for everyone who attended CarnEvil, the WM starts to clatter and glow. Out spits a gold arcade token with the words GOOD LUCK stamped into it. Your character can add it to add to their inventory. So what does this shiny GOOD LUCK token do? While your character may never find out, this coin will spare your character from one disaster of your choice. This will be OOCly picked out by you, the mun, and will activate seemingly at random for the character. The character does not have the choice when it works (but if it's a coincidence, that's another story). You can use the GOOD LUCK token to spare your character from accident, injury, event effects, and even death. This token is only good for one use. It will disappear as soon as its activated. Use it wisely! ]

[ If you (or the character) has any questions, comment here! Just make sure to put OOC in the title if it is a question for yourself! ]

[video] 01

[Gojyo fiddles around with the communication device that he recently received. It appears that he’s on a bed, looking more irritated than anything. He lights up a cigarette, taking a drag and blowing the smoke off to the side. He clears his throat, figuring that he might as well say something to this strange device, but stranger things have happened.]
So, what shit have I gotten myself into now, huh?
[He grumbles and looks to the side briefly, his thumb absently brushing over the camera, so his image goes dark for a few seconds here and there.]
Where the fuck is everyone though? That stupid chimp probably ended up getting lost or fell out of the jeep or some stupid shit like that…
[His voice waivers momentarily. It sounds like he’s concerned about something, but he won’t delve into that. Not publically, anyways. He grunts and tosses the device off to the side, but his voice can be heard in the distance.]
Fuck this, I’m not going to sit here with a thumb in my ass all day.

[Video] What the Duck is Going On Here?

You have got to be freaking kidding me? Some kinda cockamamie inter-dimensional big box store? These things are bad enough when they're puttin' Mom and Pop stores out of business back in the regular world. This right there? This is gonna tank the economy, you know it.

I already done enough dimensional traveling to last a life time.

Somebody tell me some egghead out there's found a way out of this?

[ Pre-Event Post] A Festival of Seasons!

[ The World Mobile turns on suddenly, regardless of where you are: in your dorm, the middle of a transaction, wherever. The Announcer’s voice rings clear on the WM. ]

Attention, World Mart Employees. Due to the unusually high wave of New Hires, the CEO of World Mart wants to thank his employees with a grand event. He knows coming to a new world can be difficult, but we are here to help you adjust.

In order to celebrate, The CEO is importing a famous carnival from the planet Earth, from a state called Iowa. Entry and rides are free as long as you show your World Mobile. Old fashioned game tokens will be allotted for each employee, ten per person. Games cost between 1 and 3 tokens to play. Extra tokens will be available for purchase at the carnival.

Both World Mart employees and residents of Central Station will be attending, so please have fun and mingle with your fellow aliens. The carnival will be open on Vegetaday, from 10 am until Midnight. If you have any questions, you may respond to this message. Any employees needing help being transported from World Mart to the Carnival can inquire with the ETR.

Have a pleasant day, and welcome to World Mart, a taste of every dimension. [ And with that, the feed clicks off. ]

[[ ooc: Feel free to have your character comment to this post! We will be posting this event tomorrow so everyone has plenty of time to tag it this week, even though the event will ICly take place on Wednesday (Vegetaday). Of course, with World Mart, everything is not as it seems... ]]

[ Video ] When You Think About It, Everyone's in Debt.

[ When the feed clicks on after the intro video, Naruto is sitting at the edge of the bed, the most wide-eyed, confused expression on his face. How--...what? ]

...Tha... that was it?

But...! [ And he reaches out quickly, snatching the device up in his hands. His face now now close to the screen as he talks into it. ] But what about the war?! Finding Sasuke? Saving Gaara and Tsunade-baachan and the rest of the village?! [ He shakes the device wildly. ] SEND ME BACK, DATTEBAYO!!!

SEND ME BACK!!!

[Accidental video]

[Once he's had time to calm down (mostly) and wash off all the dirt from Purgatory, Dean focuses his attention on making the World Mobile do what he wants. Unfortunately, what he wants is to contact his brother, so he won't be finding much success.

But he does end up turning on the video function without realizing it as he fumbles around with the device.]

--piece of crap, mobile communication my ass! Call Sam.

[He pauses a moment, and you can hear a few beeping noises, like he's trying to dial a number, but it's no-go.]

Son of a bitch!

[Frustrated, he chucks the WM onto his bed, which also cuts off the video feed.]

01 | (Accidental) Video

[There's a sharp cracking sound as the video turns on, but the feed doesn't show a face or even a body. Instead, the picture starts off all black before the object that's blocking the screen pulls back: it's the heel of a boot, and it stomps down again a good few times before delivering a kick that sends the communicator skidding across the floor and into the far wall.

A mostly incoherent tirade, peppered with all kinds of colorful curses, accompanies this display.]

...my right to--?!...

...can pay with my sword through your stomach...

...damn interfering bastard--...

[Eventually, though, the fit of rage subsides, a hand reaches down to pick up the communicator, and a scowling face comes into view, only slightly obscured by the thin crack that's appeared across the top right corner of the screen. There's a few seconds of frowning, and then a blink of comprehension and he realizes that the device is on and capturing what he says. He doesn't know who's listening, but he has to assume that he can talk to the Powers That Be this way.]

Oi, whoever you are that's behind this idiot scheme: when I find you, I'm going to wring your damn neck like a dishrag and then cut you into pieces!!

[OOC: ~~Start as you mean to go on?~~ Kanda is in the dorms (room 101) having just seen the (helpful and informative!) orientation video. He's taking it rather well, all things considered. (I'm not sure what it says that this counts as taking it well.) Feel free to have characters hear the commotion coming from his room, if you'd prefer to ~~meet him in full fit of pique~~ run into him in person!]
