Somewhere in the shadows of a rooftop Snipe lurks above, he'd be out for a routine fly... But this? It's big, he'll need to alert the team. Part of him wants to strike now, but he can't that form well enough... "So, this game of death had returned eh? Tch, we don't need an eyesore like you around the place. Dan Masamune. As Hiiro would say. Proceeding with the elimination. But not yet, better to inform them about this little event." With that he'd quietly walk off towards the opposite side of the roof, crouched down and sticking to the shadows before he leaps across to another building. Once he gets 3 away Snipe leaps out into the air, his thrusters burning up as he flies high into the sky. Once he's hit the clouds he'd simply dart off, aiming to inform the other Gamer Riders of this disturbing information ASAP.

An unremarkable person in plain, brown, grey, and black armor walks through the streets. In short order, they catch sight of Dan.... The individual begins to turn, as though considering running, but instead, slowly make their way towards Dan E... Excuse me. Y.. You look like that figure on the cover of a game I got recently.... D.... Did you beat Chronicle already?

Masamune wags his finger disapprovingly. He laughs in small, menacing bursts. "Hmmhmmhmmm... it would seem that Bang Bang Shooting has obtained an unlicensed Gashat, has Dangerous Zombie been busy? No matter, if those fools think that Chronicle will end before it has even began.... I assure them it will last forever!" Masamune raises his arms to the heavens, cackling. He draws his arms down to his side once more, as the newcomer approaches. "Not quite, I... am Dan Masamune. C.E.O of Genm Corp. A pleasure to make your acquaintance. I do so adore my valued customers you see." He bows humbly, his arm at his waist.

The newcomer takes a deep breath, as though to calm their nerves... There's a bit of an awkward pause. Before finally, they step a bit closer and ask So... Y... You're one of the main people behind Chronicle right? Th.. That's how I got this suit of course.. I... Its a pleasure to meet you Masamune-San. They pause for another moment, before making an attempt to copy Masamune's bow, its a bit awkward but at least gets the idea across

Masamune stands tall once more. "Please, the pleasure is all mine. I urge you to keep playing until you've completed the game." He smiles eerily, but his happiness seems genuine.

The Rider stands back up straight and scratches the back of their head, all the while shifting their weight awkwardly between their legs O... Oh... Y... Yeah, completing it. I... I was totally planning on doing that.... Sometime...... Maybe......

Masamune chuckles calmly, seemingly bemused. "And I look forward to the moment you do." The clock reads 11:55.

Glancing around nervously, they finally notice the clock... After a brief pause, they ask the obvious question S.... So.... W... What is the big clock for anyways? I.... I hope its not the actual time. I.... I'm supposed to be home soon.

His chuckling grows in volume, clearly the clock reminded him of something. "I'm afraid I cannot disclose that information. You are more than welcome to wait here. Of course, that is if you think you would be ready for the event." The clock reads 11:56.

E.... Event? Like... Those global things many RPGs do? The rideplayer nervously glances at the clock, then back to Masamune E... Excuse me, b... but... Masamune-san. Y.. You didn't answer my question. Is that clock accurate, or is it a different time? I... W... Well... I can't reach my phone right now..... Under the suit and all..

Masamune chuckles again, this time a sinister intent can be heard behind it. "If you will, the present time does not matter. Not to one who has purchased Kamen Rider Chronicle, no. The only thing you should concern yourself with is completing Chronicle." The clock reads 11:58.

Looking back up at the clock, Rider begins backpedaling rapidly I... S... Sorry Masumune-san. I... I'd love to see the event but I'm supposed to be home in.... About a minute and 40 something seconds according to your clock, so I really ought to get going... S.... I... I hope to see you again.. M... Maybe get an autograph sometime? And with that, the Rideplayer bows for an instant, before turning around and walking away, very quickly

The clock reads 12:00. Masamune cackles loudly. He wanders off cackling, his laughter echoes through the streets, as a loud gale sweeps up fallen leaves, and small rocks. The striking of a bell accompanies this sinister orchestra, sounding twelve times before fading into the night. "It has begun. Kamen Rider Chronicle has begun anew, and I will see to it that it shall never cease!"
