*PK walks up and pats Teddie on the shoulder, speaking to Yes! The Nexus is very strange! It makes me feel great defending the innocent lives from harm! How are you Teddie? Your okay right!

[Teddie's head comes up quickly, surprised by the sudden patting on his shoulder.] Uhhh, yeah i guess i'm okay?...

*A dark figure walks up tot he others with a smug green and gleaming yellow eyes.* Yes, but it's also a lot of fun if you know how to have a good time... *The figure stands in the light to reveal a black haired man with a white coat. He looks similar to Yu as far as his features go.*

*A wasp can be heard buzzing annoyingly around the cliff. It lands on a nice stretch of grass and looks at the others, rubbing its front legs together*

[Teddie still has his eyes closed, uh, just so you know.] Is... That who i think it is?

*Tatsuya walks into the cliff, a little ways away his bike sits off to the side. For one reason or another his investigation has taken him out here. Rather than continuing however he walks up to Teddie and looks the man over, this guy beat Kazuya?* Yo Teddie right? You might not know but the names Tatsuya Suou, so I'm curious about you actually... After seeing ya beat Kaz I'm impressed. *His head turns over to Chaos, different hair but the same face and build along with Yu's voice? Whoever this is they sound less than pleasant* So tell me what's your bit pal? Got some master plan or what? Most doubles of my friends I met tend to be kinda evil so I'm not getting warm feelings.

Sounds good Teddie! Yo- *PK then turns to the other person around, bowing to then before speaking once again Hello there! Pancake_Knight at your service! Who might you be?

*The figure smiles with a twisted smile as he walks close to Teddie and PK.* I'm probably not quite who you think I am. The name's Chaos and I can't help but notice that you look like one of my old self's old friends.

[Teddie still refusing to open his eyes, replies to Tatsuya.] Oh yeah, I beat Kaz, but I wouldn't say i did so in the most fair of manners. [He seems to regret it but he smiles anyway.]

[Teddie seems confused by "Chaos", especially since he hears Yu's voice] W-what do you mean, "Chaos"?

*Chaos' expression shifts as he hears Tatsuya's voice. His smile fades and as he looks up clear disdain can be seen in his eyes.* Tatsuya Suou... Dammit, of course, every Nexus has to have one. As if the first wasn't hard enough to kill...

Ah! Well then hello Chaos! Its good to know that another person is here in our merry little place! It's a little lonely sometimes! *PK then smiles and reaches out for a handshake, completely trusting Chaos

*Chaos focuses back on Teddie with the twisted smile returning to his face.* Guess there's no point in lying with the fire freak here. I'm a shadow created from Yu Narukami's guilt originally. I was created by the crawling chaos himself to kill Yu. Back in my own world, I succeeded too. However, I felt myself finding my newfound position as a real person somewhat inconvenient. Turns out nobody really likes when you kill their friend or some junk like that. So despite my best efforts to fit in, they hated my guts. Ironic, huh? I wanted to become a real person and that was my "reward" for doing so.

... [Upon hearing this, he goes silent...] ...I understand.

*Chaos looks stunned for a moment by Teddies words but then interest piques in his eyes.* Understand? I'd call you out for claiming something like that but you're a rather strange one yourself. You have me curious now... What exactly is it that you understand?

[His smile becomes wider.] I seem to be the same as you, "Chaos", interestingly enough. [He begins to laugh.] I killed the Teddie in my world and took his place.

*PK continues to smile for a second as his brain takes a few seconds the process the information he just heard as he jumps back and draws a laser sword, not turning it on though as he holds the handle W-what! Who are you people and what are you trying to do!

*Chaos smiles wickedly as the glow from his eyes seems to grow brighter.* Interesting, I wasn't aware that there were any other beings like me here. So, have you realized just what it means to exist as a person yet for us shadows? *Chaos looks at PK briefly as if looking at a new toy rather than a person.* You're quite slow, you'll make for good entertainment...

... You did what? *Fire flashes around the man as Apollo stands behind him. He's not attacking first but he's sure as hell getting ready* I don't know who the fuck you are but if you're planning to hurt people think again asshole, good to see you know I won't go down easy though Chaos. *He turns back to Teddie and... Doesn't really seem shocked at all? The "I understand" Gave it away pretty easily so this just seems par for the course. In spite of these shocking events he simply smirks at Teddie, clearly not caring overmuch* As for you Teddie? I don't give a damm what you are. Okay so you're if I'm hearing right a murderous shadow but hating you? Won't do anyone any good... You've done no wrong by us as far as I can see so how the hell cares man. But this guy? He's gonna kill everyone. *Tatsu rubs the back of his head for a moment* Well that's what I got from those words of his. So yeah I couldn't care less about what's in past, nobody can change what's in the past but... Hell I've killed people too, I'm no fake but... It's not like your motives are hard to understand, if I were a shadow I'd wanna be real too man so what the hell? I don't see any reason to treat you different now... Not sure how anyone else is gonna feel though.

DRINKING BUDDIES

[His smile goes from wide to... sinister.] Does indulging in the benefits count?

[Upon hearing Tatsuya's words, his smile turns into a usual one.] You seem to react more kindly than how others would, that's quite a nice thing of you. I never expected that, though.

*Chaos just glares at Tatsuya with hate-filled eyes.* Always like this, aren't you? Like you even understand what it's like to be one of us. Shadows are born with one purpose in their head, to kill their other selves. We don't get a choice in the matter, it's either kill this person and be hated for doing so or die trying. Yet, somehow the ones who end up hated are the lucky ones, me especially. I didn't give anyone a chance to hate me so let me ask you other Teddie. Do you feel like your existence has been fair? Did you really want to have to kill just for the right to be someone other than a mindless shadow?

*PK stares back at Chaos, keeping up the glance but not speaking, biting down in his tounge as he listens to Tatsuya, Teddie and Chaos, before speaking again Tatsuya is right! You don't have to be evil! Everyone has good in their heart!

[His smile fades, he finally opens his eyes and turns around, revealing his glowing yellow eyes.] I wouldn't say my existence is fair, and i didn't really want to kill to gain the right but you know what they say, beggars can't be choosers. Right?

*Chaos laughs at PKs words as if it's a joke he's heard time and time before.* Good and evil? Is that really what you're going with. Good and evil don't exist, those are just ideas people use to justify their actions. My existence is an example of that. If you want to know my plot that's simple. I have no plot, I'm only in this to have fun the only way I know how to have fun. You can call me twisted all you want but this is just how I am. *Chaos looks back at Teddie with a golden glow.* But we can be the choosers now. Power is everything and those with power can be anything they want to be. Freedom from hate and despair, all you need is to let loose a little bit.

No they can't Chaos, and that's why I'm willing to leave it be. You never asked for that life so what right do people have to hold those actions against you? I sure as hell won't... You killed for the right to be a person, now you can do whatever the hell you want to right? So do you want to just keep on killing and basically be the same? Or do you want to change and be something more than that? *He smiles at Teddie for a moment... Before glaring right back at Chaos with his own hate* That being said Chaos what you've done isn't something I'll just leave be! If your plan is to kill this world then I have news for ya asshole, we're gonna stop it just like we always do... One man can't win against us all, and even if you've got a fucking army then I'll rip it apart with my own hands to defend these people! *The flames roar up behind him as he shouts at Chaos, rather than the kind voice he's taken with Teddie a venom fills the man's words. Clearly Chaos is very good at angering Tatsuya Suou*

[He thinks for a moment before replying.] I know I can probably a bit more loose after revealing this and all, but I still want to have a good time in this life that doesn't revolve completely around murder. I mean there CAN be some on the side I guess.

It's not about murder, it's about using anything and everything for your own fun. Honestly, killing key players in my game would be a waste, they have the most potential and are the funniest to play with. The NPCs are the only ones I'll bother dealing with if I feel so indulged. However... *Chaos looks at Tatsuya while his eyes burn with a yellow light.* I can't forgive you for all the pain and discomfort you caused me. In the past I was misguided, hell, maybe I deserved it but... I still remember the feeling of burning alive thousands of times and that pain will never fade from mind.

*PK seems distraught at having his ideals challenged, its clear that he haven't put much thought into it, although he raises his voice in protest, Well! Even if they don't exist you can still be good! Being good just means actively trying to make the world a better place! Being evil is trying to do the opposite! But everyone can change! Nobody is fully evil or good! People have to strive to be better! That even goes for you and Teddie!

[Teddie's smile returns.] Well, I enjoy fun, if that wasn't apparent.

*He stares at Teddie for a moment before shrugging and shaking his head... There's worse things to do than that frankly, and hopefully it can be kept towards deserving targets* Some murder on... You know what just don't kill anyone decent and that's fine with me Teddie! Just ya know... Try not to go too overboard? I get that fighting is fun an all but too much of a good thing man. *Tatsuya snorts at Chaos and sighs, clearly this person's words mean jack shit to him. Sure he isn't wrong in a sense, but who the hell cares?* Hey maybe if you weren't out killing people for no reason I wouldn't feel the need? Ever consider that perhaps your the issue and not the ones trying to stop your sorry ass from killing an entire world? But nah clearly I'm the real bad guy here why I'll just kill myself on the spot because of how right you are, woe is me! *The sarcasm drips from his tone, even Hazama might actually be outdone by this point*

*Chaos seems amused by PK's idealism as if he's speaking to a walking parody of some kind.* And what exactly has this world done for us that makes us inclined to help it? Not everyone cares about helping the world. Some would be happier watching it burn but that's not my goal either. I'm simply looking out for myself and doing what I want to do. The ultimate way to live is through having fun, isn't it? People would only end up hating me regardless so does it really matter in the end? *Chaos turns back to Teddie with a bigger smile on his face than before.* So, you want to help me out with my fun? I'm sure you'll have a good time with it as well as long as you know how to laugh that is.

This whole "life" has a lot of stuff to do, like the consumption of alcoholic beverages, fighting, and quite a lot more. So many things to indulge in, so many things to try. [He chuckles.]

I dunno, what's your idea of "fun"?

It's quite simple. I set up a game for the key players and watch them struggle to beat it. I suppose you'd like me to be a little less vague but I'll put it this way. Most key players will do anything to save the NPCs, it doesn't make much sense but it's convenient. Of course, my games aren't unwinnable and if they do beat it then they might actually get a chance to meet me as well, though I'm never around for too long after the game is over.

*The walking parod- I mean PK continues strong, fighting back against Chaos's words with his own You don't need a purpose to help someone else! Just a little push in the right direction can change someone's day! Or even saving someone from injury! Nobody hates somebody for no reason! Even if they do you change your image! Like I said before nobody is fully evil!

[He thinks for a second.] Eh, I think i'd rather just stick to drinking and stuff.

*Tatsuya flashes a thumbs up at Ted, obviously he's pleased by the ma err shadow making the better call* Alright man good on you! Let's go out for drinks after this or something. Anyways we done here Chaos or you still wanna keep going or is this going to end?

[He seems surprised, but really happy about Tatsuya offering to go out for drinks.] Wow, that's actually the first time anyone has ever offered to go out for drinks with them. You really speak on my level, friend.

*Chaos looks disappointed as he walks away towards the shadows.* If that's what you want then far be it from me to stop you. Just don't forget what you are and what the people around you do for a living... *Chaos vanishes amongst the shadows.*

ooc: to put into better wording i mean offered to go out for drinks with me

[Teddie sees Chaos vanish amongst the shadows, with only one question on his mind.] Wait, how do i do that?!

... Geez I have no idea but I'm sure it'd be useful. *Tatsuya stares at where Chaos once stood with wary eyes* In spite of the fact that he's gone I get the sense we're not done here Teddie... Oh well for now let's not worry about it! I've been hunting leads all day and geez am I worn out. *He walks over to the bike and smirks at Teddie* I've got no clue where I'm headed but eh I'm sure we can find something semi likely to kill us soon enough right?

Well! Little steps at a time! It's good to know I won't have to fight you anytime soon Teddie! I think of you as ahe great friend! *PK then flashes Teddie a smile and a thumbs up,

[He smirks back at Tatsuya.] Yeah, probably. [He waves goodbye to PK.] Good to know, I guess. [He rifts out, not before attempting to vanish amongst the shadows like Chaos did, to no avail of course.]

[slithers right by the clif, looking like a snake centipede hybrid]

Snakes and centipedes aren't of species that can produve together

*produce

[look, its a oc thing alright]
