Coffee Fantasy XIII: Leblanc Returns
Boss enters his old, now unused building, the old building. small, quant, still smelling of perfect grounds and mahagony woodwork. everything was in tip top shape, and as a smile crept across his face, he pasted up the permanent rules once again, made two entire drums of coffee, stuck them up as if youd get wine from them, and flipped the sign from is normal closed position to "open". lights were turned on, cups were apparent, and the rules still read as follows; no roughhousing no romantic gestures beyond hugs, you may be in love but you can do it somewhere else existing plots have no place here, this is for relaxation and friendship. and last of all, relax, enjoy the large bowls of curry and plentiful coffee, and have fun with your pals. also pay your bills, this aint no charity
Inari storms in YEEEEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
(edited by Inari)
upon inari returning, boss points to the coffee barrels and give a warm smile
Inari sits down on a stool "Hey Boss, how much for a black coffee and plate of curry?"
(edited by Inari)
Boss keeps his smile, and prepares the dishes bout 1500
1500 Yen?
yep
Inari takes out his wallet, takes out 2000 yen, and puts it on the table. "Keep the change." *wink*
*Death enters the place, he was hoping for a peaceful time here* *Death sat down and looked around the building*
Boss accepts it, and puts it in the register with fervor glad youre so charitable
*he walks in with helmet visor glowing blue* I heard this place is popular.
The woman would walk in with a sigh, defeated as she'd realise that she succumbed to her friend's begging. She scanned the area before resting on someone - Inari. Taking a seat next to him, she'd say, "so are you happy I'm here? What is this place anyway-- why am I here?"
Inari looks at Queef, before his face turns into a full-blown shit-eating grin. "The coffee and curry here is the shit. I'll pay for yours if I must."
(edited by Inari)
Boss retains the warm smile at the new faces, and gestures to the refreshments "This, little lady, is my cafe. as for why youre here i couldnt tell you"
*he takes a seat in a booth* Oh... comfy seats. I haven't sat in a legit seat for two years.
The so called "little lady" would only just now note the newcomer and flashed a small smile. "I take it you're the manager? Apologies for my rude behaviour, sir." She then turned to Inari, "since you're offering, it'd be rude for me to decline so go ahead."
Inari takes out his wallet again, and gives Boss another 2,000 yen bill.
Boss fixes a plate for inaris guest, and sets it in front of her "my most famous dishes, have a taste, havent run across anyone that cant stomach it
*Death watched everyone, not really caring about anything about it*
She looks at the plate, inhaling the aroma erupted from it before looking between them. "It smells... Nice," She states, hesitant before she gives in to temptation (or rather her stomach's cries), trying a bite.
(edited by Queef)
Inari looks at Queef, while sipping his cup of coffee. "Well? Whaddya think?"
She looks at him, blankly staring for a few seconds before regrettably admitting, "it's good... The only reason I even came here is because you kept bugging me, okay? Besides, lately I've been busy!" She seems rather flustered that she has to admit it to him.
(edited by Queef)
He takes another sip of his coffee. "Well, if you're ever free and wanna hang out with someone or just get some good foof, I heard this is the best place to go to. Also, if you're here at the right time, well... let's just say "special things" happen." "Anyways, finish your food! (or not, i can eat the rest lol) I paid for that, you know?" Inari's eyes flash a variety of colors for a few seconds before returning to normal.
A cat plops down in a random seat. He's decided to stop sleeping in the moon base today and instead get out and... take a catnap in Leblanc. Perfect.
Overhears "Moonbase" "Ah that reminds me..."
She nods, eating her food at a considerable pace. Once done, she starts on the (hopefully sweet) coffee. "By the by, what did you mean by something special?" She states, between sips.
Eh? You want a moonbase? Jumping to conclusions, cat?
"Let's just say... this place is quite magical."
She arches an eyebrow, "magical..?"
Summons Persona for demonstration "As you can see. This leads to multiple stories being spun from here."
Oh, hey, a Persona! The Cait Sith literally slams a card into the table, summoning an odd-eyed black cat. ...Yours is a lot more colorful, nya.
Leo
Walks in what are you doing? is something wrong here?
*Death just watches*
*Inari takes out his laptop and goes on a website called "overseer2.com". He seems really invested, so you shouldnt bother him.*
*Death just watches* Who cares?
*Death was happy that nothing crazy was happening for once*
Wow. Never thought I see this place open again.
Leo
reading a book
A young man enters the building, slightly surprised. It's been so long... The man takes out his phone and starts up a stopwatch as he looks around. ...Now, we wait.
I wonder if the Polyb machine is still in the back.
Leo
Turns to Rom Greetings
P-Polyb? You mean... His eyes become slightly more alarmed. He sits down at a booth, hoping to calm his nerves when he notices Leo. Oh, um... Hey, Leo. Never thought this place would reopen for a while...
*Death hopes wherever War that is not dead or still stuck with them*
(edited by Darksiders_Death)
Sam
*A worn out looking booth drops from a portal into the corner. Sam sits on one of the leather seats, attuning his arm* Been a while, huh?
Boss smiles even wider, glad his old friends have resurfaced "im glad everyone decided to come to my little reunion spot"
Leo
closes the book Hmmmm...
Rom's nervous expression eases as he sees Boss's smile. Heh... don't mention it. It feels nice to have a main hub. It gets exhausting just walking around, waiting for plot to happen.
I hope no plot happens.
Leo
A-are you ok Rom? You look really nervous
*Aigis enters and looks* Dang... It's been a while since I've seen this place around. Maybe it will actually manage to survive this round.
*bursts through the door, wearing h8s mimukyu costume but with a Christmas hat* MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE
Cute. I want to keep it.
Leo
turns to aigis and bona Greetings.
As he turns towards Leo again with a deadpan expression, Rom's right eye flashes from its usual brown to a cyan color for a nanosecond. Hm? I'm fi- Rom nearly jumps as Bona enters the scene. Whoa! It's past Halloween. Why the Mimikyu costume?
(edited by Rom_Dolos)
Meh, I like it so I'm just gonna keep wearing it for a while.
another old friend enters, almost bringing a tear to the old mans eye glad to see you again aigis, everyones turning up from the grave i guess....
Leo
Leo noticed the flash and thinks What was that? I should think about it...
*she takes a seat at the counter* Yeah, you coming back always seems to bring the old gang back around.
Boss' smile doesnt fade, only grows wider at the reminder of the old gang true, nostalgia follows me wherever i go, it seems
*she smiles herself* Now, how about some coffee please... I haven't had any in ages.
Gleamstar walks in and yells at Bona. "IT'S NOT EVEN DECEMBER YOU JERK!" She turns around and runs right into the door.
I KNOW ITS N9T DECEMBER IM JUST FRELING FESTIVE!
Gleamstar rubs her head and raises a finger/toe/whatever. "THERE'S A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BEING FESTIVE AND BEING IN THE WRONG HOLIDAY!"
Leo
Stop yelling, now.
Zero walks in, "Hey there." He goes to Boss's counter, "One cup of your best coffee please."
Ooc: do people exist
*He bleeds through the floorboards* It HAS RETURNS!!!!
*quickly mops all the blood off the floor* I mean, it's gonna stain real bad otherwise
She repeatedly pokes Inari until he notices her. "Don't just forget about me! Tell me, what stories?"
*a giant robot mech marches by the cafe carrying a canister* Lukas: Make way! Carrying a explosive payload to a IMC base!
*Death got up and left*
Aincrad walks in sighing and dropping dead on the counter, his cane falling to the ground and top hat toppling of his head, revealing quite a mess of hair, and starts talking to himself. "Ah the familiarity... Something I can actually use now... No I don't want to go... Yes I know that but fuck it... Well then they can take care of the idiots okay! I just need rest..." With that his eyes close and he starts snoring.
*Naho enters the Leblanc and sat down on a chair*
*Inari closes his laptop and looks around* "W-What! When did you guys get here?"
walks in and looks to Inari You really were focused on your laptop
*Naho enters the Leblanc and sat down on a chair* Still nobody cares.
Rom walks in, looking quite tired. He immediately takes a small box out of his bag and plugs it into the nearest port. He then takes out his laptop and starts typing.
(edited by Rom_Dolos)
suddenly appears behind Rom Hello!
Kushala_Daora's sudden appearance seemed to have slightly snapped Rom out of his exhaustion. He nearly falls off the booth. GAH! ...Please, don't do that again...
surprised about his reaction he noticed it Oh i scared you? Sorry, by the way, what is that? points to the laptop
Hm? He looks at his laptop and back at Kushala. Oh, it's just a computer. I do my work on it almost every day...
thinking... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... You can use that to search information about things, right?
A little black feline nudges open the door, then pads into the cafe. It blinks at this strange new place. "Mew?" Upon seeing the dragon, it hides under a table.
Rom chuckles briefly. ...Yes, that's right.
Can you search about monster with strange fog and creatures behind them? The other day another kushala with that attacked me and a blonde guy.
A teenager wearing a school uniform enters Leblanc and looks around "Hopefully this place doesn't have terrible service and horrible coffee." He walks over to the counter and sits on a chair
Rom has a slightly quizzical look on his face. I... guess so? Just watch out for the occasional abundances of fake info... Especially the Phansite. That place is preeeeetty weird...
The kitten tilts its head. So the dragon isn't hostile... But it talks... Strange. He pads out from his hiding spot and walks over to the man with very stylish hair. "Mrrow?"
Pansit? I don't care about that, does your laptap iformation about that?
Like I said, It might have information about what you need, or something... Some things just may be false.
The teen looks down at the cat "Huh, a cat? I never knew that pets were allowed in cafes." He then gives the cat a pat on the head
Rom looks over at the cat and smiles. ...Should have brought Iso with me today.
The kitten purrs a little and sits down, waving its tail happily. It then seems to remember something and looks around. It tries to hop up onto the counter, but its small body isn't strong enough.
Oh i see... by the way, do you know a guy called Hisato? Is my friend and I have to warn him about a dangerous monster.
"It looks like it's trying to get on the counter." The cat is lifted onto the counter by an invisible force "There we go."
"Mew?" The kitten looks around, baffled as to how it was put there. It shakes its head and wanders on the counter, as if searching for something.
He seems pleasantly surprised at the dragon's last comment. You know him? That makes things a whole lot easier... though I haven't seen him in, like, two weeks.
You know him? Perfect, if you see him, please tell him to be carefull with a monster called Lavos, can you do that for me?
The teen turns around to Rom and the dragon "Excuse me, but is someone supposed to make my coffee for me, or is this place one of those self serve places?"
The kitten soon finds something: a phone. Getting to it will be the hard part... It wiggles its rump, then leaps towards the device on the wall. It crashes into the wall and falls limp.
Rom smiles at the dragon's request. Of course! He then turns to Josuke. I think someone usually makes it here. I guess Boss isn't there right now...
"Boss? Is that the owner of this pla-" Josuke stops his sentence to look at the cat *Sigh* "This damn cat..." The same force puts the cat back on the counter right before Josuke turns back to Rom "Anyway, should I wait for him to get here?"
(edited by Josuke_Higashikata)
lies down Thanks you. bites his back and gives a diamond to Rom This is a gift.
The cat blinks and gets to its paws. It doesn't seem hurt. It lets out a sigh and hops off the counter again, this time landing softly on the ground. It begins attempting to nudge a box towards the phone.
W-What the...?! Um... Thank you, I guess. Rom quickly puts the gift into his bag as he looks at Josuke. I wouldn't really count on waiting. Sometimes, he doesn't appear much. Sorry, man. Rom looks back at his laptop and starts typing again.
"I'd might as well wait." Josuke lays his head down on the counter while watching the cat
(edited by Josuke_Higashikata)
No luck. A kitten couldn't possibly push that. It goes behind the counter and finds... a stool? Should work. Tugging it towards the phone is hard, but not impossible.
Leo
walks in Greetings.
After a few minutes of work, the stool is underneath the phone, giving the kitten a chance to hop up onto the stool. It curls up and closes its eyes.
*he walks in holding a duffel bag* Lukas: Hey guys, and hey there Leo.
Leo
turns to FM_pilot Greetings. continues his book
*his helmet visor glows as a sign of his Titan OS speaking* Ion: Evac transport from Nohr and Hoshido to Planet Harmony more specifically Angel City are complete. Lukas: And your brother... still wearing sunglasses due to him not being used to the neon lights.
The black kitten snaps open its eyes and hops off the stool. Its fur bristles a little at the new person. That gun and outfit... it was something much more threatening than any police officer had.
Leo
Oh, thanks about that. I'm still invesrigating, but i have nothing... well, just a few mentions about it, nothing more.
Aincrad yawns a little and rubs his eyes, slowly sitting up. "Mornin everyone. Glad the world hasn't ended yet." He sits back in his chair eyes starting to close again.
Ion: Yharnamite Hunter, and Pilot and Winslow Accord Spectre are still investigating the entity. Results are still in process. Lukas: And some long haired dude with a string-less bow was punching Frontier Militia pilots and grunts yelling "death to Nohr sympathizers" or something, but jeez, he got some strong adrenaline to be knocked out with twenty tranq darts. *shows Leo his previous pilot helmet with a giant dent in the center* Lukas: He even made a dent into my old helmet!
The conversation is too strange for the kitten. He wanders over to Aincrad and puts on that good ol' kitten charm... "Mew..."
Josuke gets his head up off of the table "New arrivals eh?"
Leo
suddenly the book of Leo starts to shine, a second later it stops. The book... changed?
*he looks at the book in confusion* Lukas: What just happen?
Aincrad looks down and pokes the cat. "Sorry kitten I'm a dog guy. But if you check the fridge, Boss might have fish. Good luck on your journey." With that he salutes, laughs lightly and looks back up.
*he rushes in while holding his Hunter themed Omega Yato* SOMETHING HAPPENED! Leo what's going on!?
The kitten turns around and soon curls up under and empty chair. It seems content to observe for now.
"Amen cat. Amen." With that his eyes close and soon he's snoring again.
You know, I was under the impression lingering in an establishment well after it was closed is considered rude. Some would even say Immoral. A young, mocking voice can be heard as soon as Hunter slams open the front door. As the door begins to close, one can see a tall man with long, gray hair behind it. The man grins as he says this. Unless that’s changed recently, it seems quite mischievous if you ask me The man flinches after having said his piece, a flash of annoyance across his face, but quickly returns to his calm and airy demeanor
*he looks at the guy that looks like his own Hunter attire but more flashy* The heck are you?
A ding comes from Rom's computer. He then unplugs the box he brought and put it back in his back. He then looks around, surprised. Jeez, I need to stop zoning out like this... What's happening?
(edited by Rom_Dolos)
Leo
leo opens the book and touchs it opening portal, destination Leo's room a portal appears in front of Leo What!?
*he peeks into the portal* You okay Leo? Looks like you seen a ghost.
The kitten's fur stands on end. Portals... intimidating people... it didn't make any sense. He knows they aren't a threat to him, but this is still out of place. Cautiously, he emerges from his cozy spot and approaches Hunter.
The young man bows to the group, low and dramatically Consider me a wanderer, little more. The better question is, who are you? The wanderer cackles, And flinches once more, he quickly shakes it off and returns to his jovial mood As a performer, it’s part of my duty to learn about and retell stories of those I find along my path.
Hm? He approaches Leo and Hunter. Did something happen?
*he also looks in* Lukas: That doesn't look good
Danksuya approaches the old cafe, he had some fun last time he went to one, perhaps this one will be similar, however when he enters he sees that everyone is on edge, strange for a supposedly a calm place ..?
Know what Leo... we're going. Marco, Polo. *he kicks Leo into the portal* FUCKING YOLO!!! *He jumps into portal as well*
Leo
the portal disappears
Even the cat is confused. Why did Sword Guy kick that man into...? Whatever. "HSSSSS!" The cat hisses at the portal and dashes over to Danksuya, the relatively most reasonable person awake here.
*he looks at the portal vanishing* Lukas: Might as well follow them too. *he presses a button on his left gauntlet and phases to them*
Leo
OOC: Working, give me time.
!!! Danksuya then sees the strange portals opening and backs up to let them pass, then looking towards the cat, Danksu wasn't really an animal person but he can make an exception this time ...
The wanderer watches those fools fall through a portal and chuckles Oh kids these days and their fancy toys. Always in such a rush with no time for.... The wanderer flinches again, and takes a deep breath, walking over to and sitting at the counter before continuing Style. Quite a shame really. Not even polite enough to acknowledge someone.
"Mrr..." The kitten waves its tail, a bit glad that there were less people here. It sits down and looks into Danksuya's eyes with its own yellow ones.
Now I'm even more confused... I've still got some work to do. Rom starts typing again on his laptop.
*Aki enters looking at a paper not noticing anyone, mumbling to herself* Been a while since I've been here. Oh well.
Danksuya eyes the wanderer, he wanted to know more about this person, he then walks over and sits across from the person, keeping his hands in his pockets[/I] ..? [i]Danksuya then looks at the cat, yellow eyes, perhaps something is different about this one as well, he then extentds his hand and pats the catto on the head ...
Aincrad mutters a bit but still snores, eyes fluttering a little yet still definitely asleep. "Keep it down... Some of us are trying to sleep heres..."
The cat closes its eyes, letting out a small purr. It seems like a normal cat, although what's a kitten doing on its own? It doesn't seem to be too playful, either, just content to watch the others. It gives Aki a curious glance.
*Still looking at her Paper she sits down, takes a pencil and begins writing something * *She was to focused to notice anything*
The wanderer raises an eyebrow at Danksuya, before leaning back in his seat Wonderful, absolutely wonderful. First audience I get is a cat, a mute, a sleeper, a businessman, and.... The wanderer flinches again before catching sight of Aki, he smiles widely at the newcomer Whoever you are. Honestly, I come here in search of stories to tell, and find little interest.
*Danksuya thinks over a few things as he pets the catto, surely it must be special if its survived for this long, this place had alot of evil doers no? Perhaps it has a persona? ... *Danksuya then takes an interest to the newcomer, they looked quite strange compared to everyone else, he then tries to steal a peak at the paper, some information perhaps? ..! *Danksuya then shoots the Wanderer a death stare, was it that bad to be mute? He could have at least given him a chance
(edited by Danksuya_Suou)
Josuke's still sitting at the counter with his hands folded "..."
Rom eyes the wanderer for a second. L-Lower your expectations. In a hub like this, it's kind of hard to find stories.
The cat quietly follows Danksuya. The feline's interest has turned to the paper the girl is holding. He can't read, but maybe one of the others would say the contents.
Hmm? *She notices the curious glances* *She waves the wanderer away* Sorry I am not intersted in stories right now. I am just writing a to do list that's all. *She scratches her head and continues*
The wanderer pays Danksuya no mind, instead turning to Rom with a wicked grin Oh do tell then. What spot is better to find travelers and hear of their paths than a gathering place? It’s the only logical guess to make. They shrug and lean back in their chair. The brim of the wanderer’s hat hides their face for a moment as they look down Starting to run out of material. There’s nothing better to make a myth about than actual experience, true or false.
A to-do list. Nothing out of the ordinary. The little lady did that back home sometimes. Now that he thinks about it... is this even his... "country," as humans call it? He tilts his head inquisitively. "Mew?"
Aincrads eyes open a little and bends back looking at the group. "Hey what's going on? Something interesting?" He yawns and rubs his eyes. "Lets se- oh heya Aki! How's it going?" He gives her a smile and waves at her.
Rom grins back at the wanderer. You must be fairly new here. I'm just saying that while that may be true, this is where people go while waiting for plot to happen. Think of it as a... story's prologue.
Danksuya then stares at the list for a second before shrugging and noticing the cat following him, perhaps he made a new companion? What would his other self call it? A social link? Yeah thats right, he then talks to the cat Just a list, nothing more.
*She turns to the familar voice* Hey Aincrad. *She smiles slightly* Glad to see you again.
The cat flicks his ears, a little surprised to see this quiet person actually speak. Perhaps it would be best to stick around them... At the very least, it's revealed that the lady is named Aki. Unusual name. The kitten flicks its tail and sits down next to Danksuya. It seems Danksuya has formed a new bond... The obligatory Social Link speech would reveal this Link as of the Fortune Arcana.
He grins and turns his chair around, jumping down and sits beside Aki. "Same here, how's life been treating you? You look a little stressed, and not the normal kind."
Danksuya smiles at his new catto friend, he had a feeling they would be good friend for a long time, he then thinks for a second and points towards the cat's belly and then the fridge ...Hungry?
Yeah the missions kinda stress me at the moment,it's been a while since I had friends to talk too. But well you gotta earn Money someway. I just missed relaxing or having fun. Like I usually do. Anyway enough about me how about you?
*wakes up* *yawn* That was nice....
The cat shakes his head. He doesn't really need food, and the likelihood of cat food in the fridge was low anyway. Plus, his small appetite would raise suspicions. There's a reason the detective was always in charge of feeding him.
The wanderer sighs and begins absentmindedly tuning his instrument while muttering Times like this make me miss talking to a brick wall. They soon clear their throat and, Andrew a short pause look back to Rom Do I look like some hero to you? I’m not one to put myself in danger’s path that’s for sure. I’m asking if anyone here has done ANYTHING interesting so I can avoid being fired for running out of material. Got it?
Aincrad smiles. "Yeah I know the feeling, it's just been one thing after another recently, but exhaustion has hit me much harder than I ever anticipated. So it's just sleeping whenever I get a chance to, so not much room for fun." He chuckles nervously and rubs his head. "But hey that's life right?"
*Danksuya shrugs and goes towards the fridge, opening it and looking through the contents, fish, fruit, beans... eventually finding a can of Armita Sodaâ„¢ and settling for that, dropping some yen in place of the can as he returns to the cat, looking for some way to identify it, perhaps a collar with a tag?
(edited by Danksuya_Suou)
Josuke turns to the wanderer and finally says something "Fired? Fired from what?"
Rom turns off his laptop and sighs. He then looks back at the wanderer with a deadpan expression. Did I call you a hero? I'm not suggesting anything. To put it bluntly, most interesting things here don't always happen here. To answer your question, things get pretty uneventful here, so no. Sorry to waste your time. He then reaches into his bag pulls out a notebook, and starts sketching.
*She starts to laugh a little* True I can understand. I think I also turned into Yawning Zombie everytime I returned from a mission. But hey, I am glad I can help people with my abilities.
The kitten seems to understand Danksuya's intent, and lifts up his head. Around his neck is a red scarf, but there seems to also be a collar underneath said scarf. Its tag says says "Sissel" and gives the cat's address.
Leo
OOC: I have a bit of time now. Leo is staring at the book What is this book?
"Amen there!" He chuckles then leans in. "That reminds me, I never did show you my quote unquote secret did I? Want to see it? I'm sure it'll brighten your day up a bit."
Sissel... Danksuya then marks the address on the scarf mentally in his mind as he offers a hand to the catto, he's not sure if the cat can shake it but he might as well try, while doing so he points to himself as he speaks Danksuya.
The cat almost seems to smile, and puts his tiny black paw into Danksuya's hand for a handpawshake. Another strangely-named person, but they still were friendly enough.
A secret? If you think it'll help me then I trust you, Aincrad. *She smiles gently*
(edited by Aki-Joker)
OOC: BRB low battery
The wanderer flinches again, taking a deep breath, before smiling and turning to Josuke A storyteller, a bard of sorts. I’ve been hired to listen to people from all across the realm and tell their stories. The wanderer grins and flicks their fingers with a brief flourish Embellished a little if need be. Of course, I can hardly go out myself, but I had hoped some traveler might have had some lifeline for me.
Leo
hmmmm... touchs the book Aki-joker. searching... opening a portal in Aki-joker location a portal appears in front of Leo and Aki-Joker Amazing...
Danksuya takes the paw and shakes it before letting go and checking a watch, looks like its time, he then gets up and nods to the catto to say goodbye, then leaving out the door
"Meow..." Sissel meows goodbye, then looks towards the others here. The portal thing is interesting... Wait... "Meow?" He nudges Leo's leg.
Leo
new identificated as Leo, welcome Leo, I hope we work together in past, present and future. What the hell? turns to the cat Hi kitty, what do you want?
Huh? *She nearly falls from her chair seeing the portal* Be more careful. You startled me.
He grins ands stands up. "Okay gimme a second!" With that he walks behind the counter and grabs his top hat. "Ah ha! There you are!" He then runs back and holds it one hand. "And now I shall attempt the greatest trick of all! Come one come all!" He beams at Aki and reaches into the hat, making his hand explore then his hands stiffen up and his eyes light up. "There he is!" With that he starts pulling out and slowly but surely Aincrads Persona in human form starts coming out with blue flames on the edges of the top hat. About halfway through Aincrad drops the hat and pulls Shadow out fully and drops him beside him. "Ta-Da!" With that they both turn to Aki and bow. Shadow grins and nods at Aki. "Hello there, it's nice to meet you."
"Meow." The cat stares directly at Leo's book. His yellow eyes seem to gleam. However, the sudden appearance of Shadow distracts him. It only takes a second for the cat to narrow its eyes at Aincrad.

"Well I have a lot of interesting stories, but I don't feel like sharing them with anyone because they're really confusing." Ooc: Brb.
(edited by Josuke_Higashikata)
Leo
turns to aki-joker M-my apologies...
*Her Eyes start to gleam and she claps* This is wonderfull. Your Persona looks so cool. *She walks up to them bowing as well* Maybe next time I show you my secret too. But this I can only do without a crowd. *She smirks*
(edited by Aki-Joker)
*he enters in holding three weird orb with each having Leo, his and Hunter's name* Hey Leo. Founded this in Palace Macarath.
Aincrad grins and laughs. "Well he isn't exactly just a Persona. It's a long story, but he's his own person as well, and this is just the form he choose to look like when he's not fighting, and sometimes even when he does fight." He rubs the back of his head nervously and chuckles. "And yeah I would love to see that, I'm betting it will be interesting!" Shadow smirks at Aki. "Thank you Miss. And yeah Ain here is just a show off. Normally I just sort of appear instead of being pulled out a hat." He chuckles and turns to the cat. "And looks like the show worked somewhat."
Leo
turns to Spectre Oh right! searching... opening a portal to Hunter another portal appears
The kitten looks between Shadow and the strange orbs. All this makes him look somewhat normal in comparison... He pads up to Shadow, circling him, looking for a clue as to what he is. Or what even a "Persona" is.
*he puts the orbs next to Leo and readies his Razorback smg* I'll be back. *he jumps into the portal*
The wanderer grins as he watches keeps a close eye on Shadkw and the portal Something tells me I just might get something after all. Wonderful
I see that is so cool though. And I promise I'll show you that. *She turns to Shadow* I can be kind off a show off too.^^ But more as part of my Persona. *her Phone alarm beeps* Goddamnit another mission seems I have to go. Thank you Aincrad, you really cheered me up. *She gives him a quick hug and leaves* OOC: I am tired, have to sleep now, bye
Josuke looks at Shadow for a few seconds "Oh, it's one of those downgraded stands that everyone seems to have."
Rom smiles in awe at Shadow. Wow... He then turns to another page of his notebook and sketches some more, this time with more energy.
Aincrad grins and hugs back before she leave. "Yeah I'll see ya later!" He chuckles and sits down sighing. Shadow leans down and pets the cat. "Well that went quicker than expected, but hey it worked." He grins and sits down beside Ain. "Also I'm headed back to work on my designs. Sleep well." Shadow then begins to be consumed in blue flames before disappearing entirely. Ain then lays his head then and starts to close his eyes. "Yay... sleep..." (And off to work. Adios.)
(edited by Aincrad_Hazel)
In the brief time the cat interacted with Shadow, he managed to deduce one thing: Shadow, a "Persona," was connected to Aincrad. Not entirely the same person, though. Personas were likely the same as their counterparts, as Shadow was apparently an exception. An interesting observation. The kitten hops up onto a chair, then onto the table. It closes its eyes and flops down near the three orbs left by the man. After a moment, one of the orbs moves on its own, then rolls off the table.
Leo
sigh sits on a seat and begin investigating his strange book.
...aaaaaand back to boredom. Rom puts his notebook back into his bag, and looks up at the ceiling, slightly distraught.
The kitten opens his eyes. All that was accomplished was that all three balls had rolled onto the floor. Their owner would be rather annoyed... He stretches, then hops onto the table Leo is at before falling limp onto the surface. The book's magic is activated a second later...
Leo
warning: time issue detected on Rom_dolos and Leo warning. Warning. What the hell?
The book's magic activates again, as if attempting to try something again. The kitten on the table is completely still.
Eh? What's happening?! ...and how does it know my old persona? Rom jumps out of his booth, looking alarmed.
Leo
detected strange magic in Leo and Rom souls analizing the source of the magic... What the hell is going on?
Josuke looks at the commotion that's going on "What's going on?"
The kitten's body is still, even as an unknown force activates the book once more. Even the cat's ears are completely motionless.
This might be your chance, Storymaker... Hold on, Leo. I'll set up a scan of the area. Rom taps his phone. Small, transparent, silver panels spread across the floor for a brief second before they fade away. A loading screen then appears on Rom's phone, indicating the scan will take 1 minute. C'mon, load... What the hell is happening?!
Leo
analysis completed, the source of the magic comes from a monster called Lavos, I already removed the magic from both persons.
Another result of Ron's scan: two energy signatures detected. One from the kitten's body, and another one from the book. Both are very similar.
Josuke just watches without saying a word
L-Lavos? That thing the dragon mentioned? With the scan being loaded, a hologram appears, showing every heat signature (including the cat and the book) and other infrastructures in the vicinity. He then scrolls around it, hoping to find the source of the voice.
The cat's heat signature is abnormally low... Speaking of the catto, it snaps awake and sits up.
Leo
turns to Rom What? From a dragon? It was a kushala?
Ku...shala? It certainly wasn't Alatreon, so I guess so. A-Anyway, what was that? Is there anything I can do?

Leo
Rom, the other day after the coronation a kushala, a strange dragon who talks get attacked by another. The point is, the other kushala was surrounded by a strange fog and... he has a persona, but... that persona killed him, and then it dissapeared. And the big fact is... he said lavos and that's not all... Elise heard that name when she went to the palace.
(edited by Leo)
I... I see. The dragon did mention another one of its kind attacked it... What even is Lavos, and why did I have some of its magic in me? Rom swipes around the hologram screen a bit more frantically.
Leo
Wait... maybe... opens the book Lavos. searching... searching... Lavos: Gigant parasite monster who came to this world from the space 65000000 years ago, status: unknown. Location: Unkown. ...
The cat observes the two quietly. Dragons... creatures of myth. The little lady sometimes read books about them to him. Why do they exist here? What is this place? He hops off the table and is soon on the table beside Rom.
Rom ponders for a second, hoping to make sense of this situation. So... what do we do about this "Lavos" creature? Did it come back from its eonic hybernation?
*a portal opens and out comes Hunter holding three Master Seals* Special Delivery for Rom and Leo. *he puts the seals on the counter*
Leo
lavos status: unkown I don't think so... but I know what we have a big problem here... What is this book? inform: this is Traveler's book
Rom picks up one of the seals. What is it? He looks back at Leo. Traveler's book?
Leo
afirmative, i can take my user to anywhere, I can also take him to the past, make him return to the present and take him to the future, please, be carefull if you do that, you could create a paradox and destroy the universe. Wow...
Unable to read the text, the kitten is left baffled... "Mew?"
Leo's imporving retainer Odin said that these things does a class change... since I am a mix of a Yharnam Hunter and Sword Master, I feel like a change is needed.
A time traveling book? Seems dangerous... let's be really tactful about this... He turns back to Hunter I see... How do I use it?
(edited by Rom_Dolos)
*he gives Rom and Leo a Master Seal as he taps on* I don't know. I think just to saw what class you want to be. Like for me as a example I ask it that I want to be a Myrmidon. *the seal transforms his cloths into the Myrmidon Hunter set* Wow...
Goes in running, grabs one of the orbs and leaves "giggle"
Time traveling book. The cat was familiar with time travel, but his own experiences... were they different than this book? The cat falls limp, and the book shakes a little, as if some force is trying to activate its power.
I see... in that case... Rom closes his eyes while holding a seal, and his clothes change into a big blue cloak, and he is holding an Elwind tome in his hand. ...I'll be half... whatever I was, and half sage. This may help with my mana flow... Rom snaps his fingers, changing back into his regular hoodie and jean combo. Oh, thank goodness, it still works!
*A strange looking man enters, wearing a black cloak and a top hat.* I heard this place had good coffee and curry...
Leo
Alert: detected the same issue in Hunter, Elise, Spectre, Sam, Addalme and Blackmask, please bring here that persons to remove the magic What?
Wait, what was that last one? Isn't that just Akechi's shadow? Everyone else must just be doing their own thing... Rom ponders.
The strange force attempts to affect the book again. The black kitten doesn't even twitch at a new arrival.
*He orders some curry and some coffee, and starts to eat.*
Leo
Alert: detected an issue on Blackmask, here are signals of 2 blackmask existing at the same time; status of the blacmask from the present: alive. Status of the blackmask of the future: death:....... analysis: The future Blackmask died from a similar energy you had in your souls. More!? W-wait... from the future!!??
... well since I got arcane that can nuke a village care to fix that Leo and Rom?
W-What...? So... he died from Lavos's energy? Is it some sort of curse? ...God, this is so convoluted! Rom paces around, slightly panicked. What do we do?
Mildly annoyed that the book is ignoring the very obvious force trying to activate time travel, the force tries again.
Leo
analysis: Stop it! Is enought. change in the future: current chances to beat Lavos changed to 1% from: 0%.
*shows Rom his CAT scan of his brain with eyeballs looking at him* I am a Great One which is the same as Lavos so off to the HUNT!!! Open the portal Leo!
Leo
analysis: the cat is trying to manipulate me, please, tell him is imposible, only The Current user: Leo, can create a time portal.
The cat snaps awake again, and looks up at Leo innocently. "Mew?"
Uhh.... what? A-Anyway, are we seriously doing this? We may cause some sort of paradox...
Okay what about this. Plan is that we kill Lavos at it's weakest point and DON'T meet our past selves. We need disguise to prevent it and Owain, Oboro and Orochi is needed for that.
What' going on my dudes?
How far back would we need to go, anyway? That is, if we go back in time at all?
Leo
Wait a moment. Can we fight lavos now? negative: a barrier is protecting Lavos, please, kill the prophet to destroy the barrier. I see
Time travel. Fun. Perhaps it would be best to tag along... The kitten looks up at the new person. "Meow?"
So plan, get disguises that Oboro and Orochi taylored for us, kill the shield casting prophet, kill Lavos, harvest it's blood and everything is fine.
Ah!A kitty cat!
Leo
Where is the prophet? unknown Nice...
The cat yawns and rolls over, closing its eyes.
So... what do we do?
Eito attempts to pet the little cat. Black cats always gave me good luck.Is it the same with you?
OOC:link was unintentional
Leo
OOC: leaving, bye.
OOC: See ya
Leo
Appears from a portal. i think I´m getting used to this. closing portal. the portal disappears
*he enters in with his reforged Chikage* Any luck Leo?
Rom enters, still in his normal clothes, but reading an Elwind tome. Any update on the situation?
Leo
target locations, unknown Not yet...
Eito comes in,obviously tired. "Heya everyone." Eito sits down in a booth and falls asleep.
Leo
Alert: detected strange magic appearing, analizying... Or not...
A swat van arrives, 4 swat members hop out, no sirens are raised. Weapons are down. They begin radioing someone...
*Suddenly The gun are cocked and the cafe is surrounded and a army chopper is above* COME OUT THIS IS A RAID!!
Eito suddenly wakes up. "WHAT,WHO,WHERE!?"
*he glares at the spec ops as he grabs his Chikage* Hell are these sci-fi punks?
*In a Matter of seconds a tank rolls up to the cafe with the cannon aiming right at it and The entire spec ops squad aiming there A2 rifles at the cafe*
Hunter, please don't escalate the situation! Rom hides behind a booth near the back.
Hey military gun heads! Hell out of the cafe! *he loads a buck shot into his blunderbuss*
Leo
analysis complete What is going on?
The swat team pulls out grenade launchers loaded with tear gas grenades, they strap on gas masks, break open the window and shoot the gas.
Eito hides under the table of his booth,drawing his combat knife. "Why did I draw my knife?I can't fight.I am totally gonna die!"He thought to himself. He sees the tear gas grenades. "OH SHIT,GAS!"
(edited by Eito)
Aincrad wakes up eyes twitching. "Can't you people let a person sleep?!" Grabbing his cane he goes outside and stares at the two teams. "Scram! Both of you!" He points his cane at them. "You have no quarrel with us and I can get both your units shut down should I choose so get the hell out of here!"
Leo
proposal, open a portal and leave Alright! Open it to... open it to alatreon's house! opening portal a portal appears behind Leo Follow me guys! jumps to the portal.
*The spec ops open fire and the tank fires off it's cannon and flashbang grenades thrown inside the cafe*
*he gives a middle finger to the SWAT and Spec Ops, throws a timed molotov cocktail and jumps into the portal*
Eito sees the portal. "Better than dying here!" Eito ran to the portal as fast as he could.
The swat rush through the fire, then throwing lethal grenades into the portal, cooked and estimated to blow in 3 seconds.
Aincrad sighs and his eyes flare. "Bad move." With that a fire wall appears in front of the cafe and incinerates everything before it can get in. "Now scram before I light you all on damned fire!"
(edited by Aincrad_Hazel)
Rom ran through the portal as well.
The swat shrugs. You know, you killed about 200 innocents, you rat fucking stinking knob! The swats pull out assault rifles.
"I don't kill. So don't force my hand and make me hurt you. Cause you douchebags just woke me up, and I am not in a merciful mood today. And put those silly things down." His eyes flare again and soon the guns start heating up becoming too hot to hold.
Leo
the portal disappears
*An airstrike is called in and Water balloons are dropped dousing the flames and drenching the cafe*
A black kitten wanders over... and immediately starts banging his head on the side of a SWAT van. Why. Was. This. Place. So. Violent? He stops his minor mental breakdown to let out a sigh.
*a giant Ion/Northstar hybrid Titan walks up infront of the Spec_Ops and SWAT* Ion: For the destrcution of property, and harming of civilians, I am given access of the use of extreme violence. *the mech charges up it's Splitter rifle and shoulder mounted missile pods and aims it at them*
The swat team begins radioing someone, then retreating to the van the swats are fleeing..
"... wow you really are a bunch of children." He shakes his head and walks back into the cafe and summons a dome of solid light around the cafe that deflects projectiles. "Oh and do expect me to be speaking to your superiors. Have fun out there. Thanks to you nobody is here anymore." With that he sighs and summons several small flames around the building drying it out.
*An orbital strike hits the Titan and Keeps blasting it*
Ion: Target locked on to the SWAT Van. Starting vaporization. *he fires five homing cluster missiles at the van*
With the SWAT van about to depart, the kitten shakes his head and surveys the damage to the cafe. It's incredibly wrecked... "Mrrrr...." But before he can complain in cat language, the missile strike sends the small cat flying from the blast.
(edited by Black-Cat)
A swat hops out from the top, pulling out a heavy machine gun loaded with grenade-like bullets, shooting for the cockpit with 900 rpm.
He opens the dome a little and signals to the cat. "Come on in, I'm just drying this place out."
The swats throw out some smoke grenades, attempting to use them like flares, they turn left behind an apartment.
*Air support deployed, A Gunship fires missles and a minigun off at the Titan and using armor piercing rounds*
