[diehardreaper]

Who: Ronald and the rest of you lot
Where: Near the coral
When: Probably in the morning
Style: Action but will follow you
Status: Open

[ There's a scuffle, Vatheon. His SFC is pointed to the sky but anyone would be able to hear him distinctly over the network. ]

Blimey, ow. Ah, hell... it all hurts.

[ Ronald's prodding his cheek slightly with a thumb as he gets up. Truth be told, he's an absolute wreck. His uniform's bloody and a mess, his hair's disheveled and his glasses are being groped for before being put back on his face. ]

ow... owowowowowowow... Beastly, that's what he was. Not that I'd expected mercy... cor now, hold on...

[ And then he realizes he isn't on the ship anymore. ]

This isn't the Campania. Did I fall into the ocean then?

[ There's a sigh though as he strains to sit up, finally spotting the SFC and eyeing it curiously before picking it up. ]

...Don't think anyone can hear me through this, can they?

[ that sounds painful... he also sounds pretty foreign, judging by the way he talks. 'blimey'? what is that, is that some kind of foreign cursing? you kids and your engrish. ]

Yeah, actually. Loud and clear. [ but now that he's getting a good look at this guy's state of appearance- ] Uh.. you okay over there?

[ he was pretty sure people didn't just fall out of the sky upon arrival last he checked, but maybe he was wrong..? ]

[diehardreaper]

[ And then there was an evident look of shock here. ]

Bloody hell, I wasn't expecting anyone to actually answer...

[ Ruffling his own hair a moment through to regain his composure. ]

Ah, yeah, I'm alright. Just a bit of a wreck here, sort of but I'll pull through. Don't think you've heard of the Campania, have you?

[raincoats]

Campania..? [ do they hold gladiator tournaments there geez, bloody hell indeed just look at this guy's shirt-.. ] No, can't say that I have. I doubt that you're gonna find that place again anytime soon though. This is Vatheon. [ man, there is no way to say this that doesn't sound all kinds of ridiculous- ] And it's.. kind of somewhere in the middle of the sea.

video; you saw no journal faux pas

[diehardreaper]

Yeah, I kind of figured. Was on a ship before waking up here. Got into a bit of a scrap...

[ But he tries to look cheerful. ]

The name's Ronald Knox from the London Dispatch Department. Pleased to meetcha. You are...?

[VIDEO]

[applepies]

[It's not polite to not show your face when talking to people.]

Hey... Are you alright ?

[diehardreaper]

[ Not to mention that's something creepers do. You're not a creeper, are you? ]

Yeah... yeah, right as rain. It'll heal. Bleeding smarts though.

[ A small wince as he shifts his position. ]

Hey, think you can help me out with something? I'm looking for someone.

[applepies]

[Of course not. Asato has a tendency to attract creepers though.]

Should I bring you something ? Bandage, disinfectant ?

[Asato tilts his head on the side, a curious expression on his face.]

I can try... Who is it ?

[diehardreaper]

I think I'll be alright. Give me a day or something and it'll close up.

[ But for now, it hurts like the buggery. ]

Wouldn't have seen another bloke wearing the same suit I've got on, would you? Hair's darker, slicked back, wears these square silver specs...? He was on the boat I was on before I ended up here...

[gtfo_mypersonalspace]

Ronald Knox. I see you have finally arrived, as well.

[diehardreaper]

Finally?

[ There's a small confused pout from that. ]

Begging your pardon, sir, but you kind of make it sound like you've been waiting a while.

[ ...oh Ronnie, if you only knew. ]

[gtfo_mypersonalspace]

I have been here nearly three months.

Honestly, considering we were both on the Campania before I arrived, I would have expected you to appear here sooner.

[ Yes, still disappointed even though it was totally out of your control, Ronnie. ]

[diehardreaper]

Three mo--

[ Pause. ]

Three months? But the last time I saw you was less than three minutes ago.

[ Do you see those fresh wounds on him, Will? Do you? They're demon induced and still sting so very much as evidenced by the earlier yelping. But then hey, it's Ronald. He's late for everything apparently. ]

How's that even make any sense...?

[pactum]

[ ...oh, come on. ]

Not you, too.

[ ugh why so many reapers, coral? why? ]

video;

[diehardreaper]

Well well, Ciel Phantomhive. Fancy meeting you here.

[ Hey, good thing there's only been three of them so far revealed in canon... kind of. We're just missing two more. ]

Guessing you made it safe and sound out of the Campania.

video;

[pactum]

I did. Some seven or eight months ago.

[ thank goodness for that, at least. NO MORE REAPERS HE IS SO DONE WITH THEM ]

But time is relative here, so don't let that bother you.

video;

[diehardreaper]

Seven or... Oh. Right.

[ A sigh. ]

Yeah, I heard about that. Still a little surreal if you ask me. Last I saw, you just got off the ship with that butler of yours. Prolly oh... half an hour ago?

[ladyinscarlet]

[Angelina has come to touch the coral, as she was told to do by Dr. Muraki and her nephew. She still doesn't understand why they would need to do so, but apparently people get sick and tired if they don't, so...

What she didn't expect was to find someone here so early in the morning.]

Good morning sir. Did you just arrive? [She realizes he is dripping wet.]

[diehardreaper]

[ He clicks his SFC shut the minute he hears her voice though, looking up from the screen. Have that same smile he usually gives the females: bright, cheery, over all good natured.]

G'morning. Yeah, I kind of just got here. I'd wager you've been here a while?

Bit more chatty than the locals, if you don't mind my saying.

[ladyinscarlet]

[And she gives him back a flirtatious smile.]

If I am honest, I have not been here for long. Just nearly one month. [But some people have been here for years, it seems.

She shrugs.] The locals aren't as useful as one would assume.

[cheapshinigami]

[And Tatsumi finds another puppy, besides the ones he has at home.]

Good morning sir. I believe other residents will see and hear your post.

[diehardreaper]

[ Every single reaper department has to have one after all. ]

Didn't think anyone would. Looks kind of strange for a phone.

[ He's looking it over for a moment with a raised brow and a hum. ]

[cheapshinigami]

[He nods.]

It is a strange device indeed. It keeps us communicated with the other residents of this city.

[reaper2die4]

Ronnie?

[Here comes a red-clad familiar face. She's carrying a few bags that appear to be filled with cloth and sewing items. Her eyes are wide with happiness and excitement that her junior is there.]

Ronnie darling, is that really you?!

[diehardreaper]

[ He's just accepted a towel from one of the locals and was drying his hair when he hears that voice. One glance over his shoulder and he can't help but stare himself. ]

Mister Sutcliffe?! Now that's a relief. You're okay!

[reaper2die4]

Ronnie darling, it's been so long since I've seen you! It's honestly wonderful to see you here.

[She has a large grin on her ruby lips as she stares at her.]
