[locked to sutoku alliance] video, un: levirage

Hello, everyone!

[on the screen is a polite-looking person with messy green hair and purple eyes. they give a wave and smile with their whole face from behind their white-rimmed glasses.]

My name is Leviathan Astrape—Levi, if you'd all like—and let me be the first to welcome you to the Sutoku Alliance! What we do here is a little more up in the air than other factions, but I think that just gives us the freedom to be who we are. If you're not sure what to do next, just keep your ear to the ground and get to know as many people as possible! It really can't hurt in the long term, and it's always better to know more than to know less.

[they don't sound stiff as they're saying it, like they have some practice with public presentations like this, but anyone watching the tracking of their eyes could probably tell that they're reading off cue cards.]

And on that note, we have a few names to know. They'll spend some time introducing themselves, I'm sure, but please keep an eye out for Artemy, Kim, Xingqiu, Yuri, Ydris, Marie, and Cloud. [a pleasant smile as they get to the end of the list.] Please also look out for Emily Dyer, especially if you need any kind of medical assistance or you're interested in helping out there. And our lieutenants within the alliance are Matoba Seiji and, of course, the death-defying Sakamoto Ryouma.

[they gesture in front of them with an open palm towards the person behind the camera.]

You're coming in during exciting times, everyone. We just had a bit of a shake-up at the Tanabata festival. The daughter of an important financial magnate has been kidnapped by an enemy of Toraguma, and though we haven't heard any orders from the Daitengu quite yet, I think we all know how things like this play out.

[and bringing both their hands in front of them, at waist level, they smile and give a polite little bow.]

So please, take this time to get to know your fellow alliance members. [they look towards the camera, then glance at their lapel, where they have a pin with the kanji for sutoku. they laugh like they knew they were forgetting something, and look back up towards everyone else.] And don't forget to pick up your official faction pin from most places within our area if you're interested.

[they wave goodbye, then stand there for a couple seconds. without the feed cutting, they walk forward towards the camera and start talking much more casually.]

Was that okay? Getting those names right was harder than I expected, and I even cut out a lot of the last names. I don't know how you did it the first time.

Hehe, y' know, I wondered about that "death defyin'" part on paper, but hearin' ya say it like that makes it sound pretty heroic! And honestly, I'm pretty sure ya did way better with those names, now that I'm thinkin' about it...

[ anyone who isn't new here will recognise the voice that responds to them from behind the camera, especially with that accent. ryouma is pretty sure he botched a couple names last time, mostly for that same reason. he might be able to fake it and cover it when he's speaking his own language, but when it comes to foreign-sounding words all bets are off. ]

So that was perfect! I think ya gotta real knack for this sorta thing!

[ which... hmmm, take that with a grain of salt because this man long predated show business, but still!! judging by his tone, ryouma is very pleased since all his coaching and cheerleading and cue card holding paid off, in his opinion! sure the rest of the faction will agree... right? ]

((this is a mingle post! feel free to threadjack and get to know everyone within the faction. and thank you again to min for contributing ryouma here!))

[ It certainly wouldn't have facilitated locating Heizou, but some people find that sort of thing amusing.

Xingqiu himself could fall into that category depending on the cleverness of the setup, of course. For now, he is under the impression he got the right information and he will arrive at the agreed spot in what amounts to less than ten minutes. Unlike certain people that haven't made any changes to their wardrobe, Xingqiu has long ago left his original outfit. But that doesn't mean he has become partial to wearing pants. It's nice and comfortable wear. All stylish enough.

Upon his arrival, he immediately approaches Heizou knowing what the other looked like. Thankfully, at least one of them opted to communicate through video. ]


Good evening, Heizou. We communicated previously about meeting here. I am Xingqiu.

Dissect you? No, I'd never do that to a living life form, even if they were a machine.

[Scan and analyze, maybe though, if she had the resources. But she doesn't here.]

An entire metal planet populated by your kind? Amazing. Were you developed by someone or did you evolve through some kind of atechnogenesis?

It's nice to meet you, Baldr. And welcome to the Alliance. Having someone else that's familiar with reconnaissance will be a great boon to us.

...That and having domestic skills.

Don't go at it alone. We're an Alliance for a reason. It's not about brute strength. [ We're not the Shuten. ] You seem to have a good head on your shoulders. Use that judgment of yours.

[ What he's saying is be smart out there. ]
blackabyss: (You created an opening for me)

[personal profile] blackabyss 2022-09-19 10:31 pm (UTC)(link)
That is correct. Dark Shadow is my Quirk, and it is thanks to possessing him that my appearance has changed accordingly.

[Dark Shadow lets out a little humph.]

I think you look great!

[Fumikage merely hums in acknowledgement, before he continues to speak.]

He may be alarming, but I assure you, Dark Shadow is rather well-behaved, most of the time.
blackabyss: (You are the one who chose me)

[personal profile] blackabyss 2022-09-19 10:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Hmm... I personally have not met them, but I have friends in the other clans who may have. From what I understand, they are do well to embody the ideals of their clans.

[While he hasn't heard Bakugou talk about the Enma, he does remember Todoroki mentioning Tamamo.]

It may be best to ask those who are in those clans directly, or someone who has been here longer than I have.
blackabyss: (You created an opening for me)

[personal profile] blackabyss 2022-09-19 10:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Most definitely. Being higher-ranked means you have authority over those lower rank than you, as well as being privy to more sensitive information. If he wished it, Cloud could pull rank and order us to do something.

Though, based on what I know of him, he does not strike me as the kind of person to pull rank purely out of spite.

[You know. People don't tend to be that adament about asking him why, but he is so unused to being around people in general that he probably should have expected it eventually? Maybe? Why would someone be that interested...? He has to think about it a little.]

Having been not treated as human for most of my life, it is difficult for me to think of myself as anything more. There is also that ...when one raises too high, inevitably they will be torn down. I do not wish to live through that a second time.

I do my best. Trust me, I'm not about to go running in all on my own!

[ Unless he is. ]

First time for everything, huh...

[ He laughs quietly. ]

I'm used to vampires, so... I guess this isn't that different.

[personal profile] nightcalled 2022-09-19 11:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, wow.

That sounds really rough, honestly. You're definitely worthwhile! So don't talk down on yourself! Even if it's tough!

[A doctor or a police detective. What's the worse option here?]

Light touches are not one of my specialties, I'm afraid. Lucky you.

Of course. None of us would get anywhere if we did not trust one another's skillsets.


[He's just going to slide into some DM's here...]

[personal profile] worldbent 2022-09-19 11:13 pm (UTC)(link)
That is the million yen question. I wonder if the prize of 'more ice cream' would be appealing after stuffing oneself with that much, but perhaps if you are willing to partake in such a contest, you already love it to such a degree, hm?

Ahh, a sponsorship? Excellent thinking. I will certainly reserve that spot for your funeral services.


[Is that what they call 'Death by Chocolate'...?]

[ No Kou! This is why Yuri's warning you. Anyway, he'll chuckle hearing that. ]

Alright. I believe you. Don't let me down, yeah?

[ Look, sometimes you gotta punch a hole in a vampire's chest because he's trying to eat your classmate. ]

I can't really promise anything, but I'll do my best.

[personal profile] playfoul 2022-09-19 11:59 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Ok, valid. Still, Yuri doesn't like the idea of roping kids into gang warfare. ]

If you need anything, you know how to reach me.
nightcalled: (005)

[personal profile] nightcalled 2022-09-20 12:05 am (UTC)(link)
Same here! Thanks for the chat!
blackabyss: (Focus)

[personal profile] blackabyss 2022-09-20 12:09 am (UTC)(link)
Vampires?

[That... actually catches Fumikage's attention, and despite his stoic visage he visibly perks up.]

You have vampires in your world?
nightcalled: (015)

[personal profile] nightcalled 2022-09-20 12:23 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, yeah! I'm friends with one!

[ Kou grins. ]

We might have other creatures like that, but I haven't met them yet if they are around...

[personal profile] vivens 2022-09-20 12:30 am (UTC)(link)
It certainly does and this is all very well thought out. I wonder if the other factions are as organized or even put that much concern and care into making sure that as many as possible are prepared.

[ shame cloud can't see sabo nod but he can hear him laugh softly. ]

The only question I have left to ask is what kind of qualifications do you require of someone to help out with those who aren't as comfortable handling a simple weapon or defending themselves. I trust there must be some level of quality control.
vivens: (pic#15698462)

[personal profile] vivens 2022-09-20 12:52 am (UTC)(link)
[ he'll chuckle softly at her. ]

They do, don't they? You can't exactly be messy if you want to be good at espionage.

And I'm glad there aren't limits on us to who we're allowed to speak to. I couldn't imagine how hard it would be to get things accomplish it there restrictions around it.

[ a moment to pause as he huffs. the pleasantness in his voice never wavering for a moment. ]

Especially since it would mean that I would be finding myself in plenty of trouble if there were. ...and would continue to do so as I would have no plans on stopping.

[9S kicks at the ground with a huff.]

I said it before didn't I? I'm an android. A mechanical lifeform.

[It might sound like largely a semantic difference, but it's Important to 9S. As for why...]

When the aliens invaded, they created the machines to take over Earth. We've been at war with them ever since.
blackabyss: (Ho ho..!)

[personal profile] blackabyss 2022-09-20 01:43 am (UTC)(link)
Truthfully?

[Ho ho..! This has definitely perked Fumikage's interest!!]

Fascinating..! So your world is home to several creatures of the dark. To live among them and forge allegiances with them... you must truly be fortunate..!

Well, I'm trying to become a vampire. So I guess it's just natural?
