Destinyland: Christmas edtion!
Homura wanders into the park with a grin on her face, after that mess in the forest it's pretty nice seeing something fun.
"Heh, it's actually really pretty out here this time of year... Wonder if anyone I know will show up?"
The girl shrugs to herself and begins looking around. Various attractions being seen around the place as snow falls to the ground. The ferris wheel spins in the background, several roller coasters can be seen going around, for some reason however there's a shocking lack of people beyond those running the place... Huh, how odd to see that, but she won't complain at the moment. Beyond that the place is filled with Christmas decorations as one would expect, a tall tree standing in the center of the park with a star on top of it. Ornaments bearing various Destinyland icons hang from it, along with a series of multicolored lights across the whole thing. Homura smiles as she sets off to take a look around the mostly empty park.
"Hmm... Now, what should I do first anyways? Well, whatever it is should at least be kinda fun after all that fighting!"
Phillip tiptoes around just like an old cartoon, scuttling from hiding place to hiding place, taking notes as he does so.
"Good data..."
He presses his finger into the fresh snow, shaking the moisture off of it as he pulls it back.
"Good texture..."
His constant shuffling is fairly obvious to anyone who possesses ears. It may be better to ignore him, he seems deep in thought. His thoughts; however, are anyone's guess.
Madoka walked about the park with a smile. She planned to come with a group, but well...
Still, this was nice! Madoka looked at the familiar rides and attractions. It wasn't that different from the one in her world, though there wasn't many people... She may or may not know the reason for that...
Regardless, Madoka stopped to look up at the castle. It was more romantic in the snow. It was so cute, she thought. In a fantasy, she'd be the princess of a castle like that... maybe. Lost in her thoughts, she wouldn't notice Phillip scuffling about, yet, though the noises interrupted her thoughts.
...?
Phillip rolls up the snow into a small ball, and pelts it on a tree, documenting how well it splattered.
"Very nice... amazing!"
Phillip writes so fast in his notebook, his hands seem to have an afterimage. Now it's fairly obvious with the noise of graphite rubbing against paper, that he was standing near a tree.
Homura glances over at the strange boy curiously, how odd to see someone sneaking about like that... She giggles as the image of him wearing some spy suit comes to mind.
"Um excuse me, were you doing something over there Mr... Well uh, I don't know you actually."
The girl smiles and waves at him, perhaps leaving him alone would be best... But she can't help being a little curious.
"Anyways, since I've asked you name I'll give mine. Homura Akemi and it's nice to meet you I'm sure!"
She bows to him with a grin on her face, it's an entirely over the top and silly gesture, but kinda fun regardless! Upon looking around a bit more, however, she'd notice Madoka staring at the boy and run over to the other girl, her smile growing wider as she pulls Madoka into a hug for a moment.
"Ah Madoka! I didn't know you'd be out here tonight, but it's really nice to see you! It feels like it's been a while since we've done anything together, don't you think?"
Homura's face takes on a curious look as she considers just how long it has been, but. Entirely too long must be the answer clearly.
Ooh.... Snow.....
Maybe I should do some fireworks!
Nanaka runs along and begins setting up magic circles along the ground far in the distance
Madoka was drawn to the peculiar boy under a tree... Writing something? He stood out even amongst the few people in the park. She hoped it wouldn't be rude to strike up a conversation...
Umm, what are you doing? Writing or drawing something?
Kya~!
Madoka is surprised to be hugged suddenly, but giggles upon realizing it was Homura.
Hi Homura-chan! Umm, I came here with my family a few years ago, so I was nostalgic... I'm glad to see you! Don't we hang out all the time though?
Aitome walks into the amusement park and stands next to the tree Phillip was drawing, staring off into the distance with a solemn look, talking to herself and not noticing him
Geez.... I honestly can't believe him...
Ai then turns around to see Phillip and notices she's in the way, quickly moving out of the shot
Gah! Sorry about that! Was I in your way? I-in fact.. What are you doing exactly?
Ai then walks over and peers at the paper, seeing Phillip move extremely quickly, it was impressive
W-wow...
Phillip keeps on scrawling, almost in a trance, though his notes were clearly in view. Peeking at them might prove dangerous, but if anyone is brave enough, they'll see documentations on snow.
Optimal texture, greatest depth, rolling techniques. Many things pertaining to a snowball fight. Alongside them are pictures of various tools: a snow plow, a strange cannon, a weird device consisting of several snow shovels, and some indecipherable scribbles.
"Not too wet... Very nice..."
The girl shrugs, well yeah that's true...
"True, but... I guess it's just been a while since we've done anything special ya know? Feels like the only thing outside the normal I've done lately has been Wi- uh... Work. Yeah, because my job is so exciting!"
She laughs nervously and hopes to god that Madoka realizes that "work" just means Witch hunts and other such things. No need to shout it from the rooftops after all. As she does so, however, she'd turn around upon hearing Aitome has come into the place, and geez whatever that guy is working on look pretty impressive too.
"Hello, Aitome-chan! I guess you decided to come out here too then? Heh, I wasn't really expecting to see anyone I knew... But I'm glad anyways!"
Speaking of people she's met, Homura takes a look around and would spot Nana working on those odd magic circles... Wow, even for the Nexus it's a little odd to be doing magic so openly outside of a fight.
"Um hi... Person I met in the forest, I just realized we never gave each other names did we? Well, Homura Akemi is mine and it's good to see you made it out okay too! That was some stuff out there huh?"
Eh?
Aitome tries to understand the documents but it mostly flies over her head, but she can understand that it had something to do with snowballs and canons?
This is pretty complex... You must be pretty smart to draw this up! What's your name? I'm Ai, Aitome Korichi.
(edited by Aitome_Korichi)
Wow, so this is the famous Destiny Land, huh....?
*Haruko walks down the path of the park, admiring all the lights, and wearing a thematic hat.*
Madoka smiles and nods.
I know what you mean! "Work" can be pretty tiring.
She winks at Homura.
It's nice to relax like this... Witches are one thing, but everything feels odd lately, even in a happy place like this. It feels like... Everyone's afraid of something.
Madoka looked uneasy for a moment, but smiled again as she held Homura's hand.
But that's not what matters! Let's have fun, Homura-chan!
...Madoka quickly let's go of her hand and blushes, realizing that there are other people around. Getting carried away again...
Homura grins at Madoka and takes hold of the hand again... Frankly, she can't really bring herself to care about the blush covering her face or the fact people might question it... Not after this crazy night.
"Right Madoka! Even if things are totally crazy around here... I just want to have a good time with you for a change instead of worrying about all the madness."
The girl smirks and looks up at a roller coaster, hmm. It does sound sorta fun, but no telling if Madoka would want anything to do with that. Either way, she points with her free hand and gives the girl a questioning look.
"Speaking of that, we're here right? So... I guess we might as well go on some rides or something don't you think!?"
An infectious cheer can be heard in Homura's voice as she stares upwards, she's never really gotten to do anything like that... Hospitals weren't very exciting, but who cares!?
*Urumi enters the park*
*Urumi looks around, wondering about stuff. Urumi soon sees Homura with someone else that she does not know that all*
HA
GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY
Huh? *she looks around* Did someone just make a really bad joke?
DID SOMEONE SAY THEY WANTED TO HEAR A BAD JOKE
DW FAM I GOT YOU
AHEM
MBFRPI
Madoka did not lose her blush, but was less reserved with Homura being the outgoing one for once.
Rides sound fun, Homura-chan!
She looked up at the rollercoaster as well. Of course it stood out.
I used to be scared of rollercoasters, you know. But, I feel like I can do anything now, so...~
She couldn't help but notice the odd girl staring, though...
...? That girl is looking at you, Homura-chan. Is she a friend?
I don't get it....
*she shrugs*
Ah well, weird voice aside this is honestly a great place. And it's nice to see winter finally showed up.
Homura laughs and begins walking over towards the ride, it's actually nice trying to be less shy for a change... Heh, she should do it more often.
"Yeah! As long as we're together there's nothing we can't do, right Madoka!"
Upon hearing the question, however, she'd look over towards Koto and sigh to herself. She begins leaning into Madoka's ear and says a few things.
"Not as such Madoka... I well, I saw her doing some things she really shouldn't have been, so uh I kinda tried to tell her to be nicer... Her response was hardly favorable though, so uh can we just keep going please?"
With that she'd tug on Madoka's hand slightly, walking over towards the ride just a bit faster and pondering if she should let Koto anywhere near Madoka... Honestly, the girl scares her a bit,
but she's not letting that show right now.
Madoka looked in curiosity in confusion at the girl in question.
Hmm... Maybe she's just misunderstood...?
Y-Yeah, let's go!
Madoka shakes it off, as she just wanted a fun time with Homura for now and not worry about serious stuff. She still glanced back at Urumi before skipping along with Homura towards the ride with a smile.
*Urumi sighs and looks up at the sky. Urumi was not here to have fun at least until he job is done here, she begins to walk somewhere else while putting on her mask*
"I... Well I'd like to believe that, I think maybe she's just fallen in with a bad crowd."
As the girl continues walking, they'd finally arrive their destination, Homura quickly taking a seat on the left and grinning at Madoka.
"Anyways, let's get this show on the road Madoka! After all, we're here to relax not think about crazy problems."
At that she'd gesture for her girlfriend to sit down next to her... And put on her seatbelt, able to survive or not? Falling out of a roller coaster sounds awful.
*Sees someone in a mask walk past and stares....*
I didn't know they sold masks here. I should get one.
*Kotaro appears behind Haruko.*
They don't. Not one like that, anyway. I don't think.
Yes!
Everything's set!
The fireworks will go off at night!
Until then!
Nanaka warps back to the park, then begins walking around excitedly
OOOh! So many people! Which one to talk to first!
Madoka sits alongside Homura with a smile, fastening herself in as best as she could... She then took an extra step to make sure Homura's safety was adjusted correctly. Madoka was her mothers daughter after all.
I'm not scared! Not anymore. We've faced worse than this together, right?
Maybe there will be fireworks too!
Aitome notices a strange new person wearing a mask, running up to them she smiles and waves, perhaps they needed a friend
Oh! Hello there! My name is Aitome Korichi! How are you?
*Urumi kept walking*
I'm currently busy
Really? Then why is she wearing it around like this? And for that matter, who are you?
Who knows. I'm a figment of your imagination, not hers.
*With that, Kotaro walks off, gradually fading away.*
*Irona and Braza run through the park excitedly.*
Irona: Yay! fun places are fun!
Braza: Yay! Awesome places are awesome!
Both: Fun and Awesome places are cool! Yay!
Ack, this was going to be a hard one to crack, but you can't call yourself a hero if you don't try
Aw come on! Don't be so tsun! That's my job! At least give me a name okay?
just call me masked death, its what the people are calling me...
*Urumi runs off to stop a deal that is going on somewhere here*
Nanaka gets onto the Ferris wheel
That.... was very weird....
*she shakes her head and ducks into a nearby shop to get something to eat.*
*The Twins, in their joy, crash into Urumi and fall to the ground*
Both: Oww...
M-masked death? Why does that remind me of myself... You kn- h-hey! H-hold on!
*Ai follows along quickly, running after her with a boost of speed from her persona as she tries to slow her down
Hold on! I'm the Wandering Changer of Fate! So it's my duty to help change your cruel destiny! Its a promise alright? So let me help you!
*Ai then sees the twins and gasps, trying to help them out
Oh! Are you okay? You aren't hurt are you?
(edited by Aitome_Korichi)
Homura giggles as Madoka looks over her belt, it's kinda nice seeing someone so concerned with her safety for a change, usually around here she's had to look out for others come to think of it.
"Yeah... Geez we've been through a lot haven't we, but ya know? I've been thinking about stuff lately. And when I really think of it, just being here with you means things have finally changed for the better!"
She beams over at Madoka as the ride finally begins to start, going down a simple straight track at first.
"I... Haven't said anything yet, but well I fought myself sorta? Long story short, I went into another world that brings the things people won't admit about themselves to life... So I delt with that, and everything I've learned from it?"
The girl is cut off as a sharp wall hanging turn is suddenly taken, a grin spreading across her face as she feels the cool night air blowing her hair back, before things level out again for a moment.
"Well, I guess that I learned... For the longest time, I just thought life was an unbreaking cycle, and that no matter how hard I tried I couldn't possibly hope to make it change..."
As Homura closes her eyes and smiles with a hint of sorrow, the coaster would enter a loop for several seconds. The girl laughing and screaming joy as she looks down on the park, especially the castle as it glows with Christmas lights.
"But... After meeting that thing? I actually feel a lot better about things! I've managed to realize that things really have changed for the best and now, well now I'm gonna do everything I can to make sure they keep getting better!"
As Homura grins and starts to lean her head into Madoka's shoulder, the ride reaches the top of a tall hill before shooting downwards in a blur, Homura herself throwing her arms into the air before quickly grabbing onto her glasses, heh. She almost felt em slipping for a bit there.
"Well... I just wanted to say that I love this place in spite of all the weird and kinda scary things that have happened. I love the city that doesn't make any sense! And the people with all kinds of weird powers who don't look at me like I'm crazy when I say I'm a magical girl! And the cool stuff that I've gotten to learn from some of them! And heck even if I hate fighting, I kinda love some of the stuff I've learned about it anyway, I never knew how much I was doing wrong! But..."
The girl pauses for a moment, the track quickly going into a final few turns before taking one last loop, at the top of it Homura even spots the Tokyo Towers for a moment... Pretty crazy how high they are right now, but finally, it'd draw to a close and they'd need to step off.
"Well, most of all I guess I love you Madoka, I've said it before I know, but I guess I don't think I say it enough?"
With that Homura grins to herself before giving the other girl a quick peck on the cheek, a bright red blush spreading across her face as she glances away to the rest of the park.
"Uh anyways, my cheesy thoughts aside, it was really nice getting to come and do this with you, so I hope you had fun too!"
!?!
*Urumi Fall down and makes sure that the mask is still her my face... the masked was off, Urumi worries where her mask is*
(edited by Urumi_Koto)
Braza: Hmm? What's this thing?
Irona: It looks cool.
*Irona picks up Urumi's mask and puts it on before making a pose*
Irona: Behold! I am black mask, slayer of all. Mwu ha ha.
Braza: Hey! I want to try it! I saw it first!
*The twins start squabbling over which one of them saw Urumi's mask first*
*Urumi looks at the twins who have her mask and does nothing due to begin shy without her mask on*
(edited by Urumi_Koto)
Ehehehe...
Aitome smiles awkwardly as she walks up to the twins and attempts to stop them, trying to pull them apart while speaking
Hey now! That mask isn't yours now is it! I think it belongs to that girl over there!
Aitome then points towards Urumi, yelling to get her attention
It is your mask right!
*The twins look between Aitome and Urumi, Irona moving the poor fitting mask from her face*
Both: Really?
*Urumi shyly nods*
Wheee! FASTER!!!
Somehow, the ferris wheel came off of its supports and is now rolling down the park with Nana in it
Both: Oh... Sorry, Miss.
*The Twins hand Urumi's mask back to Urumi*
Its ok...
*Urumi puts on the mask*
you did not know
*Urumi gets up and goes somewhere*
(edited by Urumi_Koto)
H-hey! Hold on! I didn't change your fate yet!
Ai tries to chase but ultimately fails, returning to the twins with a slightly disappointed face,
Sigh... Being a hero is hard work...
Both: Don't give up, Mister Hero guy.
*The Twins pat Aitome on the back. They then watch the Ferris Wheel roll by*
Both: That looks like fun.
Madoka smiles, listening quietly like a sage as she shares her experience.
You've changed, Homura-chan. In a good way. You were so timid when I met you, and this place made you so strong... I'm glad you have fun here! I really like it too. Though, maybe I've become so used to blending in that I've blended in too well...
...I guess, I feel like I'm falling behind. Before, I just followed what Mami-san said and strung you along. Then... We died. All of us except you...
Madoka looks down. This still clearly haunted her...
I remember how sad you were, crying while I tried to convince you it was okay. Then I ended up here, and got to love you all over again...
But since then, I don't really know what to do. I wish I were stronger, so that you wouldn't have had to cry... And with things getting scarier, what can I do to protect you and the people of this world? What if you got hurt...?
Madoka held Homura's hand tightly as if trying not to cry.
But seeing this white world, lights, being alive here with Homura... It was everything to her.
But... I think things will be okay this time... You're stronger, and I need to get stronger too, so whatever happens, we can keep living here, making new friends while we look for our old ones!
A lot has happened, but... I'm glad we're here tonight... I love you, Homura-chan!
Madoka smiled as if her previous sadness had been but a memory and leaned over to kiss her lips softly and innocently. Her cheeks were pink, but she was not embarrassed at all, simply warm.
It's early, but... Merry Christmas, Homura-chan~!
*Walks out and sees a ferris wheel rolling along.*
Nope, not today.
*She goes back inside to eat instead.*
It's at this point, when the magic circles go off in the distance.
Missiles of magic fly into the air, exploding in a cacophony of colors, each one large enough to be heard and seen for miles.
After the first few pops, Electricity begins surging from rocket to rocket in a chain before mixing into the explosions, showering the park in sparks of many different colors.
Eventually, the rockets also begin exploding into ice as well, giant stars of frost turn into snow in midair until finally, the finale
Ice shatters in the sky, Flames burst from the earth, and lightning strikes from the heavens in the distance in a massive display of the elements, before the final rocket bursts, lighting up the night sky, and the air is calm again
Aitome jumps at the pats, before seeing who it is and trying to put on a smile
Heh, thanks.. I guess it should be the other way around huh? The hero saves the people from peril right? Well id it comes to that I promise to change your fate!
Ai then turns to see the ferris wheel roll by, stepping out of its way
Well... On that note I guess I'll be going now! You two have fun alright! Don't stay out too long! Seeya!
Aitome then takes her short sword and opens a rift, walking through it before disappearing
*During the fireworks some stuff went down but no one heard it due to the noise the fireworks made*
*Urumi came back, just had stop a shady deal without killing anyone but just making them feel alot of pain before knocking them out*
Both: Bye bye Mr Hero.
*They watch the fireworks in glee before a man in black appears behind them*
Cobalt: We're leaving
Both: Lame
*The Twins sadly follow Cobalt through a portal home*
*Sees the fireworks from a window.*
Oh, wow, I didn't know they had fireworks like those!
*It's a success.*
*Urumi took off her mask, put in her backpack and looks around while sitting on a bench*
(edited by Urumi_Koto)
Homura's face goes red as Madoka leans closer. It's a little embarrassing even now, but she doesn't really mind. Heh, this is about as well as things could have gone but... Upon breaking the kiss she'd lean over and pull the other girl into a hug
"Madoka... I had no idea that you felt like this, but well. I'll if you want to get stronger I'll do everything I can to help you!"
With that she'd rest her head on Madoka's shoulder and bring a hand up to her hair. A grin crossing her face and a content sigh leaving her lips.
"I don't really... Well, honestly Madoka I worry about you a lot too, the thought of you getting hurt out there fighting something... I can't help thinking back to Walpurgis, I-if I'm honest."
Her voice goes a bit lower, if they weren't right next to each Madoka wouldn't stand a chance of hearing.
"I've kinda been trying to keep you out of things Madoka, but I guess... I guess I shouldn't do that huh?"
Homura buries her face in Madoka's shoulder, a few wet spots would be felt on Madoka's shirt as she does her best not to start tearing up.
"Just... Well I really didn't want you in this crazy stuff anymore, but... It's not my choice to make I understand that, so in spite of my misgivings um, like I said I'll do my best to help!"
With that the girl leans up once more, seeing fireworks go off in the sky as she wipes her eyes and starts to feel a grin spread across her face once more... Hah, it's really kinda romantic out here like this, there's something she hasn't thought for a while.
"Anyways! I'd say things have gone pretty well so far, nice fireworks, fun rides... Good company of course."
*Urumi sighs, and thinks about stuff*
*Urumi looks around to see that their were not alot of people around here now.... hmm weird*
Akari strolled through Destinyland, smiling all the while.
She always wanted to go to this place.
She looks at the many rides and the castles, each looking like its own adventure. Her eyes glittered with wonder.
A portal appears and Leo comes from it.
closing portal.
Leo looks around and sees Akari.
Hi Akari, where are we?
Nanaka finishes re-attaching the ferris wheel to its supports
Fixed for the next ride!
Akari waves to Leo.
This is Destinyland, the most magical place on earth. It has games, adventures, rides and all the characters from my favorite cartoons live here!
Akari smiled innocently, fully believing that the mascots were the real deal. She tilts her head at Nana, pointing.
Does that lady work here? She's pretty.
Analysis: User Leo is very stressed. Proporsal: have some fun here.
I'm not that stressed...
Negative: you are stressed. Proporsal: go to the ferris wheel.
Alright...
Leo walks to the ferris and speaks to Nanaka.
Excuse me, can we use this... wheel?
Ehehe~
Sure! Do you want Normal or fun speed?
Analysis: Person identified as Akamoto Nanaka.
Her age is:
I don't need to know that...
Understood... Proporsal: try the full speed.
Alright.
Leo goes and takes a seat.
How works this thing?
Fun speed it is!
You sit inside and it zooms away!
Nanaka closes the door and hits the "MAXIMUM FIREPOWER" button, the rude starts slowly, but gradually gains speed as the wheel begins shaking until it Shakes itself off the supports and begins rolling through the park
Ahahahaha~
Wicked.
I wanna get on!
Unconcerned for her safety, Akari jumps up and grabs onto one of the seats, gripping onto it and holding on to it in the seat as the ferris wheel begins rolling across the park.
This is the best ferris wheel ever!
Well, maybe this fuuuuuuuuuaaaaa AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
Leo turned pale while he screamed at the insane speed of the wheel
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
STOP IT! I WANT TO GO DOWN!
Alert: detected anomaly in wheel's structure, the machine is running in an excesive speed. Proporsal: Stop the machine or leave it.
WHAT!?
Hmm..... it needs improvement......
Nanaka watches the wheel roll through the park
Phillip is wandering through the park once more, unaware of the havoc approaching him. He continues his pace, as the wheel rolls over him, it falls on an open interval, and Phillip only experiences a large gust of wind, nothing too bad.
"Wind doesn't pair well with snow... I should be grateful it isn't Fuuto for once."
The machine starts to make strange noises.
W-what is that!?
Alert: the machine is about to break, Proporsal: open a portal.
OPEN A PORTAL TO A SAFE LOCATION!!!
calculating... calculating safe spots...
The wheel eventually rolls to a stop, and Nanaka warps it back onto its supports
the machine stops.
Thanks...
Opening portal.
What? W-wai-
A portal appears under Leo and he falls next to Nanaka
.......
Closing portal.
Thanks...
*he walks about he sees Leo on the ground*
You okay Leo?
Akari rolls out, seemingly unaffected, though her hair is a mess. She smiles.
That was... So cool!
I can't wait to do that again!
Ahaha!
Nanaka laughs at Leo's landing
How did you fall out? I designed it to keep the people inside safe!
(edited by Akamoto_Nanaka)
I can open portals when and where I want, I can even open time portals, but this last one is not recomended.
As he said... is my... assistant... in that way.
And yes... I'm okay Spectre...
(edited by Leo)
*he helps Leo up while holding a wrapped up sword*
Your assistant loves messing with you.
Oh boy, more chaos, huh?
*looks at the rolling ferris wheel*
At this rate they'll shut this place down.
In the corner of the park, two suited men look at the mayhem caused by the ferris wheel. They examine the mayhem and put their hands to their ears.
Oi, boss. It's happened again.
Mm... More catastrophe at their hands. It's gonna cost you, boss.
Mm... Understood. Report to code N, all present remain on standby.
The suspicious men go seperate ways, stern looks on their faces. Approaching them may be dangerous.
Nah! They'd never shut it down!
Star owns destinyland! She loves stuff like this!
I'm leaving... I got enought for today... later Spectre.
Open a portal.
Opening portal.
Bye.
Leo walks to the portal.
Wait are you saying this isn't owned by Destiny Company...?
See ya Leo. And any one planning to spot that Ferris wheel or I have to do it?
*he chases after it*
Phillip ponders on the fact that according to his information, nobody truly owned this location,
there have been property disputes yes, but no legal documentation, perhaps it would be more suitable for him than he initially thought.
"The wind is the primary dissuading factor..."
Star bought Destiny Company.
........ I think.....
At least she said she did.....
But that's was a while ago, and she sorta disappeared....
(edited by Akamoto_Nanaka)
I thought Misky Mouse owned Destiny Land...
Shrug
I don't know this stuff, all I know is that fast ferris wheel is fun! And nobody is gonna stop it!
Phillip whips out a larger, more official looking notebook. This was his chance.
"Legal work was never my forte, but it did keep Shotaro out of trouble."
Once again he begins scrawling in it, writing in margins, creating signatures. Of course barely any of it was legible, but whatever it was seemed VERY official.
Oh! I know what's missing!
Nanaka lights the ferris wheel on fire
There! Now it'll be even more fun!
Oi! Stop what you're doing!
Two intimidating, suited men much taller than Nanaka approach her.
Tch, figures, give a woman a mans job and they can't do shit
The two exhange an arrogant laugh.
You said it, Aniki!
Anyway, there's some investment in this joint here. Stop this shit before we have to take you off.
We got a place for people like you, y'know. Why doncha come along? It'll improve that little power of yours...
Hahaha, you guys are funny.
It's fun! Why not try it?
It's on fire now! That makes EVERYTHING better!
(edited by Akamoto_Nanaka)
We ain't askin', girlie. Come along before this gets complicated, yeah?
Annoyed, one of them makes a grab for Nanaka's arm
Tch.
The air around Nanaka bursts Into flames as he reaches
Excuse me?
Rude much? I'm just having a little fun.
Shove off before I get pissed.
"Is there a problem here?"
A young man wearing a thick gray clock over some casual looking but monotone clothing steps up to the two men threatening the girl. He looks somewhat annoyed as if he didn't want to be doing this but he couldn't let something like this go without confronting it.
"I think you should treat people with a little more respect to get what you want. Otherwise I'm gonna have to intervene."
He seems unsuprised about the flames. He expected everyone to have strange powers at this point and at least the girl didn't seem kill happy.
The two suits back off and click their tongues, visibly now.
What was that!? You usin' that magic again you little millennial punk!? That's it! Bring em out Aniki!
The two bring out some strange device and press a button,
summoning two Slimes.
Apprehend this bitch! We're takin' her to the boss!
One of the suits looked over at Quintis, annoyed. From the side, Quintis could see that the man was armed with a particular type of Chinese pistol, probably imported.
You stay out of this! This is private business, brat!
Phillip wanders through the gathering of strange people, not a care about him. He's whistling a strange tune and carrying some official looking documents.
Quintus seems to smile slightly as if almost happy at the men's unwillingness to cooperate. A golden aura surround his body as he puts his hand forward.
"I really didn't want to do this but I dislike impolite people...
Persona...Yggdrasil!"
All at once a giant tree sprouts out of the ground behind quintus. It's bark is black like ash and its leaves shimmer with a golden light. In the center of the tree is a hole with a shining golden light bursting out.
Quintus keeps his hand out as he seems to push the air. A series of strange roots bursts out of the ground and heads towards the men. They're black in nature like the tree itself. The roots would attempt to wrap around the man with the pistol to restrain his arms in particular. The roots would be surprisingly as hard as stone
"I didn't really want a fight today...well, anything for an excuse to see your fear..."
Hehehehehehe~
That's cute, they're like Ratata.
Nanaka pulls the blade off her back and slaps a sword shaped stone into a slot on it, changing its shape and color
https://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/infinitas-guerras/images/4/43/Explosion_Rave.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20170622203205&path-prefix=pt-br
Hahahaha, nice toy! It'll look good turned into scrap!
The Slimes move in, attempting to Bash Nanaka in succession.
Danksuya walks down the aisle and looks around at the rides, sighing as he finds little interest in them, however when he hears a commotion he walks over and finds people fighting, drawing his own crooked sword
Well, what's going on here?
Eh?
W-wait why?
Nanaka just stands and takes the hit, hurting a little more than usual
Ow....
Ah, I mean....
she drops to the ground, then speaks in deadpan
Oh noooo~
I've been defeated, I have no choice but to be taken my these men to see their boss as they do whatever nefarious deeds to me.....
(edited by Akamoto_Nanaka)
What's this? Hey! No fighting in Destiny Land!
OOC: Huge apologies. I didn't see Quins post because the page insta scrolled past it and didn't count Quins post as new for some reason. My bad.
Huh!?
The two men gasp in unison, caught off guard and powerless against the abilities of a Persona. They squirmed like children, for all their size.
Fucking Persona users!
When we get back you're officially on the bosses shit list!
The Slimes seemed pleased at "defeating" Nanaka, but seeing their summoners captured sends them into a panic.
They turn their backs from Nanaka, looking to turn attacks on Yggdrasil to free their masters...
..................
Welp, that trap failed.
A magic circle forms under the men and a geyser of flames shoots up from it
Boss?
Danksuya then approaches one of the men from the back and pulls them around, staring into their eyes as he pulls a sword up to their throat, trying to intimidate them
I don't exactly know what's going on, so why don't you tell me?
Danksuya's eyes then glow red, as the person he grabs feels something in their head, probing for their thoughts as Danksuya tries to read his mind
Gamma was casually walking by, hoping to enjoy the sights at Destinyland, maybe even ride the bumper cars...... Naturally he can't help but notice the commotion at the center. Seeing Quintus, Nanaka, and two losers at the center of it.... He looks at Quintus for a moment and continues walking by
Yep..... I didn't see anything.... Carry on kids.... *pathetic attempts at whistling*
Quin would look towards the small blobs without much worry.
"I guess it's time for the fun part now...I'll make sure you all suffer in agony. Armed Mode: Hookworm! Time for a meal!"
As the roots continued trying to hold the guards in place Quin would bring out two hooked shaped blades attached to his hand via strange looking cables.
He would throw both blades at the two slimes. The blades wouldn't deal physical damage but rather would pass through the slimes to try and absorb their blood, if they didn't have blood then they'd drain their energy instead.
"After I'm done with your pets...don't think I won't kill you. I'm not even gonna give you a chance to report back to your boss."
Quin tried to sound confident with his threat though at core he knew he wouldn't actually be committed to killing the guards. Their fear was enough.
BWAAAAA!!!
The two men are scorched by the flames, not killed, but very clearly damaged and crisped. They remained in Yggdrasils grip, helpless. Meanwhile, the bloodless slimes would be shocked from the attack they received, which is clearly too much for them as they sink down like melted putty, completely knocked out.
The two goons shriek in fear, not even having the will to squirm.
P-Please, don't kill us! W-We just do our job! The boss needs us, bro! You can't do this! Do you want money? Fame? Power? We can put a good word in! Please don't kill me!
The one man was almost sobbing in fear, while the other let's out a "kgee!" of fear. Danksuya is able to read into his thoughts...
Shit, shit shit! We're gonna die! We're really gonna be killed by freaks! I didn't join the Ashura-Kai to die like this!
I just want to be where the money is!!!
Quin would smile in a way that showed content before Yggdrasil would release the men. He seemed satisfied with their response as did the parasite within him. The hooked blades would sink back into his hands as he would back off of the two men.
"Alright, I'm satisfied then. I spared your lives for today but that doesn't mean they might. Better remember that I spared you first though especially since I was in a good position to squeeze you to death."
Ashura-Kai......
Hey. Tell me your boss's name and..... well, everything else you know.
Or would you rather I freeze your limbs and break them off?
Power...?
Danksuya then releases his grip on the man he grabbed, keeping his sword at the side though as he speaks
Tell the Ashura Kai that Danksuya Suou will meet with them. I want a taste of this power.
Danksuya then puts the blade away and motions for the opponents to move along, flicking his lighter and saying a few last words
Bad luck, running into me... Too bad your so weak I can't even gain any power from killing you.
The two drop to the ground with a thud, very beaten up. One taller one which Danksuya didn't grab, spat at Nanaka.
Ha, you wanna meet with the boss? No one gets close to him except his closest hands! Even threatening us we can't go that far! But the kid in the hat... You can join us if you wanna know more, you know. Heheheh.
We ain't gonna squeal though! We'll die with our secret!
The other one, however, still looks terrified.
Y-You'll never meet Mister Tayama! He owns Tokyo at this point, y-you'll disappear way before you get close!
The other man turns pale.
Tc-- ugh! Itou, you cowardly piece of shit!!!
Ehehe~ Good boy.
Nanaka pats Itou on the head, then heals him
I'd suggest getting a new job. These kinds are dangerous.
Something bad might happen to you, see?
Nanaka freezes the other man solid
(edited by Akamoto_Nanaka)
Hm.
Danksuya then begins to follow the taller one when be gets hit by a freezing spell, Danksuya sighing and summoning a ball of fire in his hands to slowly melt the ice, turning to Nana and giving a death stare
I don't suggest you get in our way. Let that be the end of it.
Quintus reels back at the sight of the man being frozen solid. He seems to be a little annoyed at the girl for doing something so horrible.
"What exactly was the point to killing him? Its not like he could've foughten back anymore...Tch...such a waste of a human life..."
Quin would give a sign of relief at the ice melting thanks to Danksuya.
"At least some people seem to care about life. I'll remember you red hat."
(edited by Quintus_Geminus)
He's not dead, just frozen.
And look, Red Coat #2 is unthawing him, so everything's hunky dory!
She just smiles mischievously at Dank
(edited by Akamoto_Nanaka)
MERRY MOTHERFUCKING CHRISTMAS
"Attempting to actually kill someone and failing doesn't make it better and freezing people kills them. Are you people so jaded to what normal people are like that you don't get that?"
AY, BE HAPPY, ITS FUCKING CHRISTMAS
I really don't care about what happens to people other then me and my friends. Your simply getting in my way of my pursuit for power by killing these people.
ITS FUCKING CHRISTMAS, BE HAPPY GOD DAMMIT
Quintus just face palms at the weird creature.
"It's December 8th...Christmas isn't for another few weeks."
I DON'T FUCKING CARE, ITS DECEMBER, ITS TH BEST MONTH
... Who are you again?
Seeing the chance, the cowardly yakuza called Itou instantly calls back his Slime and flees the scene, while the other yakuza cowers in a ball, his fate to be determined by the others.
OOC: This will be my last post as I'll be watching NJPW soon, do whatever you want to this meathead dudes
REPERZELL, AND I FUCKING LOVE DECEMBER
Ahaha~
If I wanted to kill him, I wouldn't have frozen him, I'd have blown him up or warped a rock into his heart.
IM JUST HAPPY FOR DECEMBER
... What? I don't think any persona has that power...
Danksuya then picks up the Yakuza and sends him on his way, he's had about enough of this debacle, then turning to Rep
Why? What's so good about December? Sure Christmas happens, but that's about it.
"Whatever, I don't have time to deal with a twisted little girl. Shouldn't have expected anyone here to truly be kind at heart anyway. I'm just gonna go sit next to the roller coaster or something. Maybe I'll collect some fear there..."
With that Quin would go off to sit on a bench near where the dip of the roller coaster would be heading. The amount of fear of death he could collect there would be small but enough to at least keep him somewhat distracted.
BUT, SNOW, CHRISTMAS MUSIC, A WHOLE LOTTA SNOW
Snow isn't good. It gets in the way of my fire. Christmas music is alright I guess. Not really my place to judge.
IDC CARE WHAT YA SAY, CHRISTMAS IS GREAT
(edited by Reperzel)
AND DECEMBER
shrug
I'm good hearted, as long as you don't attack me.
Nanaka goes back to messing with the ferris wheel
...
Danksuya frowns at the strange creature and begins to walk away, engaging silent Protagonist mode as he moves away from the snake centipede hybrid of Christmas future
After watching the Debacle, Gamma notices Quintus going off on his own... He takes a deep breath and decides to follow Quintus by the roller coaster.... He just kinda stands there awkwardly for a moment.... Before eventually deciding to speak up
So.... Uh.... Sorry about the..... You know.....
Gamma seems to have a really hard time saying anything more than that, he nervously shifts his weight between his legs, looking around to make sure no one else is close enough to hear
Quintus looks up to Gamma almost surprised he decided to apologize. He would smile in a slightly awkward fashion mostly because he wants to try to help Gamma feel a little less embarrassed about it.
"Uh, I don't really care about that anymore. You were just trying to save a friend, right? I can't really hold a grudge for that. Besides, I don't really feel the need to hold a grudge. Wouldn't really help either of us."
Kotori walks into the park
...................................
So this is an amusement park?
...... the flaming wheel looks nice....
What's the point of this place?
Gamma breathes a sigh of relief and scratches the back of his head for a moment
Yeah.. G... Glad to hear it.... Its just.... Well, I've never been the most capable.... I wish I could have thought of something better......
Gamma chuckles to himself before looking at the spot next to Quintus on the bench
A.. Anyways, mind if I join you for a bit?.... Thought... Well.... Maybe It would be good if we got to know each other? Obviously... If you'd rather be alone....
Gamma scratches the back of his head again and glances around the park. He catches sight of Kotori but doesn't go anywhere
Quin looks down trying to avoid eye contact before looking back up realizing that his intentions might be misunderstood.
"I don't mind. If you want to sit here then you can. Ya'know, as long as you don't try to freeze me or anything like last time."
He tries to smile a bit to signal that he was only joking about the last part.
Gamma chuckles and takes his seat next to Quintus, he makes sure to keep his eyes off the other,
if it makes him more comfortable
Couldn't if I tried....
Anyways.... So... What do you do in your spare time? Me, I actually own a smaller cafe, Java the Hutt.... Name wasn't my idea by the way. But that's beside the point, I was wondering how you occupy yourself. At least, you look old enough I kinda assume you have a job... Sorry if that's wrong
Quintus looks into the snow as he tries to think about what he actually does. He finds it a bit hard to explain but he gives it his best attempt.
"A job? I guess I have been looking for ways to make money but it's a bit tricky given how my appearance isn't exactly normal. Most people aren't really willing to hire someone they might think is...supernatural. Apparently a lot of people here are a bit fearful of people with strange powers.
I guess that doesn't bug me too much for now since I found a place that's sorta live able. Its this empty warehouse that oddly has some living accommodations installed in already. I guess someone else was trying to live there but I didn't see anyone else around.
I guess other than that I mostly wander around. I think I'd go crazy of boredom if I didn't. The only place I'm a bit hesitant to enter is the woods really. Though I do spend quite a bit of time staring into them..."
Gamma raises an eyebrow and looks back over Quintus, he's a bit pale maybe, but doesn't look too weird.... Maybe he's become desensitized. Nothing to worry about
Well, as I've mentioned, I've been running a cafe, but one person isn't enough to keep it open too long. If you are still looking for a job... Well, I suppose I'm open to it.
It feels a bit weird offering someone at least his age a job, but Gamma simply sighs before continuing
Its not too complicated either, good chance to meet more of the weirdos around here. I swear, its like moths to a flame.
Gamma tilts his head and looks back at Quintus's wood talk
Do you mean one specific woods? Or just like, forests in general. It might have been some sort of traumatic event that made you a bit... Scared or fascinated by them. I find myself looking into lakes quite a bit personally. Though, I guess that's beside the point
Quin is a little suprised by Gamma's offer. He wasn't expecting to be offered a job right then and there and didn't want to impose anything either.
"Uh, you wouldn't mind? I'd like the job but I wouldn't want you to feel forced into anything.
As for the thing with the woods. I know why it happens it's just...something I'd rather not talk about. The woods I specifically usually stare into aren't dangerous or anything but, well, they remind me of...home, I guess.
It just feels a bit weird to talk about where I'm from now."
Gamma tries to wave off Quintus's concerns, he seemed like a pretty good guy
Its no problem at all, I was kinda gonna need to hire someone soon anyways. You seem more trustworthy than a lot of the people I've found. Consider it an apology, if nothing else will work.
Gamma chuckles faintly and leans back on the bench
Most people do. That's fine of course. Don't want to bring up any bad memories or anything..... Though, I will ask... Did you like your home? Its kinda weird, but I've seen some people who are much happier to be here.
Quin considers Gamma's question. It was one he himself didn't think about. In truth he did want to go home but...he knew he couldn't considering the circumstances. Even if he wanted to go back...he knew it just wouldn't work.
"Home...was nice. I guess, I just don't even know how I'd get back. The thought' s kind of strange to me at this point in a way.
Honestly, knowing my family is ok would be enough at this point but I suppose it'd be impossible to be able to tell if they are or aren't."
Gamma shrugs, there's no real way for him to know the answers either, so he kicks his feet a bit and looks into the falling snow
Well, if I were to guess they're probably a bit worried for you. Even if your relationship is rough... Family's still family..
Though, you bring up a good point. Not sure if you even can see them again, or if seeing them would be a good thing. Guess there's not much point worrying about it, huh?
Is still wandering the park aimlessly
Akari tugs on Kotori's clothes gently
Miss? Can you buy me an ice cream?
Huh?
Kotori looks at the girl, at first, angry, but her expression changes after a bit of staring to simple annoyance
................. ugh........
She reaches to her belt and pulls out her coin purse and flips it upside-down
I don't have any money, See?
Quin rubs the back of his head as he tries to smile. Gamma was right. He really couldn't do anything about it so there wasn't much use on worrying but he still thought it could be taking into consideration in the future.
"I guess that is the mentality to have in a situation like this. I guess I just want to know if my efforts even had any effect...uh, nevermind about that. What about you anyway? Are you from somewhere else, too?"
Oh... Sorry.
I don't have any money either. I just snuck in.
Yeah. Same. I just jumped over the wall.
Their security is terrible....
The flaming wheel is kinda cool tho.
A blimb passes overhead as a stream of 100 dollar bills rains upon the theme park. The blimb has a giant C printed on it and a man in a suit speaks from a megaphone attached to several speakers.
"Customers of destiny land! I am Carl Icahn! Hear my words! You must buy vehicles! Transportation is the way of the future so take this money and buy more vehicles!"
A woman's voice can be briefly heard interrupting.
Secretary: "Sir, this isn't a good idea. Our loses will be hu-"
"Silence! I will not live in a world where people can not even afford the bare minimum of transportation!"
I rode in it before it was on fire. It was cool.
Akari smiles at Kotori, before she notices the blimp and starts collecting the falling money.
I can't drive yet, but I can buy lots of sweets with this!
..........
She grabs a bill
Money? What money? All I see is green paper?
She burns it
Stupid adults.....
Your efforts?
Gamma considers questioning further, before shaking his head. No need to push an issue
Kinda, yeah. I lived out in the country, nothing interesting ever happened, so I don't really talk about it much. I'd probably just bor......
Gamma simply watches as someone literally makes it rain money on a snowy day. He grabs at a few bils that fall near him, but mostly just watches..
I.... *sigh* This place still manages to surprise me sometimes
Huh, free money!
*Grabs some and looks at it*
Foreign money....
Homura skips through the park in her Magical Girl outfit.
Stuffing various bills into her shield without even a care in the world... Seems she's too distracted to speak with for now.
*Urumi was still here and was watching this all happen*
A girl on roller skates comes barreling into the scene. Rushing over to pick up as much as the money as possible.
Foreign or not! Money's money! Cash is cash! Here I come!
Tch, the stuff doesn't even burn well.
How pointless is it?
Quintus looks all over to see the green paper falling from the sky. He seems confused at the currency as it looks foreign to him.
"Is that...american currency?
Also, I'm sure your home town isn't that boring. I come from a small town myself just outside one of the bigger cities."
Akari had gathered quite a bit, so much that she was stuffing her clothes with the dollar bills. She didn't know how to convert currency, but that would be a later problem.
She noticed Urumi and walked up to her, presenting a dollar to her.
Do you want one, Miss?
*Urumi looks slightly at Akari*
Im good... I dont need any more money... and from what I can tell its American money...
Umm... Are you sure?
What if you go to America one day? And I have a lot. Can it be a present?
Well I can convert my currency... into American currency, if you don't know how to do that... then look it up on your phone
(edited by Urumi_Koto)
Gamma sighs as he tucks a few of the bills away on his person
Yes, they are American. Its not really that weird of an idea, is it?
Gamma shakes his head and tries to focus back on the snowfall
I lived out in the woods kinda. Nearest city was some thirty miles away, and it wasn't very big. So yeah, nothing interesting ever really happened. Not until I found this place anyways.... You seriously don't want to hear about it
Wow, apparently if you want a popular park you need to rain money and snow snow...
I don't have a phone...
Just ask someone... around here how to do it...
What the heck is a fone?
(edited by Kotori_K)
Sorry... You looked lonely, so I tried to be nice...
Quin starts to lean back a bit as he listens. He doesn't really want to press Gamma too hard so he decides to drop the topic.
"Well, I guess that's fair. I wouldn't want to force you to talk about it.
I guess you must have your own secrets too and it's not fair for me to keep my own and expect you to tell yours."
Im sorry if I was begin rude in anyway... im just shy
.................
Is anyone going to answer me?
What is a fone!?
I'll be your friend, so you won't be shy!
Akari smiles at Urumi, beforw acknowledging Kotori.
It's a weird thing adults use to talk to eachother. I saw them on TV a lot.
Oh. Must be useless, Most adults are useless.
A costumed figure appears by the gate.
Ahh, the Christmas season....
He sits down in the snow.
So pretty....
I FUCKIN' LOVE CHRISTMAS, AND DECEMBER
Gamma opens his mouth again, but decides against saying anything further on the matter
Yeah, its nothing really... Just, letting you know, options are open for you. Just swing by the cafe sometime if you want and you can get started.... I'm pretty lenient on that stuff. No big deal either way
Adults can be nice sometimes. Mister Leo is nice.
AND CHRISTMAS IS NICE
Never met him.
Only useful adults I've met are Red Coat and Gamma-san.
I HAVE NO CLUE WHAT MY AGE IS
*Urumi looks up at the sky, not saying a word*
CHRISTMAAAAAAAAAS
Hey, what's with the stupid mask?
Kotori grabs Koto's mask and looks at it
It helps me not be shy... it also helps when I'm wearing it... on my missions
(edited by Urumi_Koto)
A voice speaks to Quintus from inside.
"I'll trust your judgement on this. It would be nice to learn more about this man...should we be forced to act. If you catch my meaning."
The voice would then fade once more and go silent.
Why? How does a silly mask help?
Sounds like it'd just get in the way.....
She begins tossing it into the air
*Urumi tries the mask back*
Upon hearing the voice Quintus would smile mysteriously. He didn't nessecarly hope that Gamma would become an enemy. He already learned the hard way that Gamma didn't fear death but if the need arises he'd much rather have them as a friend.
"I'll try to stop by when I can. The job at very least sounds like it could be good."
Kotori catches the mask and keeps it away
Honestly you'd be better off without it.
All a mask does is keep you from facing the consequences of your actions.
Gamma looks at Quintus for a moment before standing up off the bench and turning back around to face him
Very well, I'll look forward to seeing you there sometime. Its not too hard, so pretty soon you'll probably be able to run the place without me too (that can all be done offscreen if you want of course). Do be careful of course, but I trust you to stay out of harm's way at least.
With that Gamma is off to wander to park a bit, maybe he'll even find the bumper cars
Akari sees Gamma and rushes to his side
Hi Mister Gamma! What are you doing?
Phillip finally returns, armed with a thick book labled, "OWNER'S MANUAL", and a map to the park. He approaches various attractions, and flips to different pages in the book, stopping what seems randomly.
"Now to find the picnic area..."
(He coils around a random poll on the Farris whell) WEEEEE
*Urumi keeps trying to get her mask back*
What's up wIth your obsession with this thing?
It's honestly creepy.
Kotori Tosses the mask into the lake
Fetch!
(Is still coiled up on a poll the ferris wheel) WEEEEE
(edited by Reperzel)
...
*Urumi jumps into the water to get the mask*
Ahahaha! That's hilarious!
I like you! I think I'll play with you alot!
Gamma seems surprised, but he smiles at Akari as she runs up to his leg
I'm just walking Akari, nothing important. How have you been? I'm glad to see you're doing alright. Find anything interesting lately?
(He watches this all happen) WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU K!
*Urumi comes out of the water with her mask in her hand*
I'm okay. I got a bunch of money from the blimp man, see?
Akari proudly displays the stack she holds, as well as her clothes being stuffed with them.
I'm gonna learn how to turn them into yen and buy lotsa ice cream. I also wanna explore the castle. Maybe I'll find Misty Mouse.
Akari smiles happily.
Where are you going, Mister Gamma?
Also, I don't think theres anything wrong with me right now, Mister Snakecentipede.
Kotori snatches the mask and throws it back in the water
Fetch!
(edited by Kotori_K)
Just...just why
*Urumi goes back into the water to get her mask but this time she puts it on*
As Koto comes out of the water, Kotori hits her in the face with a snowball, knocking her back into it
Ahaha, that's not gonna help you any!
Homura shakes her head and looks around, geez she's been at this money grabbing thing for a while huh... And oh hey, it's Gamma over there, with... Who? At that point, she'd walk a bit closer to them with a grin on her face.
"Hi Gamma! How's it been going lately? Haven't seen you since... Well, you know what happened."
On that note, she turns away from him to look down at the young girl, geez she's gotta be a few years younger than Homura is, who the heck lets her wander around alone anyways?
"And it's nice to meet you, I'm Homura by the way... I guess I'm one of Gamma's other friends, uh. You two are friends, right?"
She looks between them curiously, she's always wondered why he hangs around her honestly..>
But the saving his life thing might have something to do with it, but this girl? That's a little shocking.
Gamma chuckles and shakes his headm its kinda cute how much effort she put into it
Don't worry, I'm sure we'll be able to exchange it pretty soon. This place is pretty good about using all sorts of currencies.
Gamma looks over towards the Destinyland Castle, then turns back to Akari with a smile
Why, I was just going to check out the castle myself. Now that you're here, why don't we go together?
Gamma turns around as Homura approaches.... Not where he'd expect to see her, but well, it is a park, kids usually enjoy going to these things.
I haven't done much of anything interesting honestly. Just working my cafe, came out here to visit for a bit and that's when I ran into Akari here. You could say we're friends, though I like to see myself as her caretaker of sorts. That is, if you don't mind miss Akari.
Gamma turns back to Akari to see how she responds
(edited by Bgammax)
.................
Eh, you've outlived your usefulness, I'll just wander around some.
Kotori heads for the most eye catching location other than the flaming wheel, the castle
Castle adventure with Mister Gamma would be awesome. I wanna become the princess!
Akari smiles happily. She notices Homura and waves at her.
Mister Gamma and I are friends. Hi Homura-san! I'm! Akari. Akari Suzumoto, tho my family name doesn't mean much anymore.
We were gonna go to the castle together. Do you wanna explore with us?
*Urumi gets back on land with her mask still on then walks somewhere*
(edited by Urumi_Koto)
"Ah I'd love to Akari-chan! And there's no need to be so formal, calling me san just seems a little outta place don't ya think?"
The girl grins and begins looking over towards the castle, she'd wanted to check the place out after all! Although... Nah, what are the odds of finding anything like a Witch around here, right?
"Anyways, off we go right everyone!? I had no clue I'd be joining this, but it sounds very fun to me anyways!"
With that she'd set off, walking a bit slower than usual and looking back now and then, fairly obviously trying to keep track of the small girl... She seems nice, and perhaps a bit too naive to be out on her own actually.
After noticing the group, Kotori follows them, trying not to look like it though
Gamma nods to Homura and offers Akari his hand before they continue on towards the castle
Well then, if you'd like to be a princess, it'd be my pleasure to escort you. Onwards and upwards as they say.
With a smile Gamma would take care to follow Homura, holding Akari's hand as they approach the castle, if she accepts
Then, let's go! Homura...chan? It feels weird calling someone older than me "chan". But I'll do my best, Homura-chan!
Akari blushes and holds Gamma's hand as they walk towards the castle.
Okay! Mister Gamma will be my knight then! Onward!
What's this? Perhaps I've been absent far too long, but does the coldhearted, edgy Gamma have a soft spot for... underage girls?
How scandalous! I guess he and Kalib have something in common now. What a nice icebreaker, eh?
*Little did the group know above them was a woman who was on a flying broom, this woman was a witch known as Medusa*
*Mayu enters the area and starts wandering around.*
So, this is the places those two brats were talking about. Hopefully, the Boss won't find me here. Tee hee hee.
"A knight huh... I'd offer, but I think I'm best just being one person's knight, ya know?"
Homura giggles at the girl's blush, heh. Kinda funny how someone this young can still be a bit formal.
"And Homura-chan is fine, just Homura would be okay too if you prefer? Honestly, I'm not that picky about these things... Even if my family kinda was, but hey. No sense worrying about people who I don't see anymore, right!?"
Homura looks backward for a moment, instincts she wished she didn't need telling her there's something following them... Only to see a girl a good bit shorter than herself, although she seems older than Akari if nothing else. She'd simply shrug and decide to allow her to follow, for now, sending the other girl a wink before turning her head back to the front... Something else is up too, but that voice in the sky is perhaps more apparent right now.
"Okay, I have no clue who you are, but if you're implying what I think you are... Shut the heck up please, I'm not exactly sure why you'd think Kalib-kun or Gamma are like that!
*Urumi takes off her mask and keeps walking somewhere*
The group is pretty near the castle when Hades appears to mock him. Gamma takes a deep breath to calm his nerves before looking around for the voice
Ok, first off who are you supposed to be? Second... Its nothing like... Whatever you're trying to suggest. I'm not going to like, let a ten year old wander around alone, that would be wildly irresponsible.
Gamma clears his throat and looks back at Homura, before continuing on his way to the castle
A... Anyways, we probably shouldn't pay attention to those kinds of people... Just trying to annoy us, yeah, that's it.
!!
Kotori isn't sure what to do upon being noticed, but ultimately decides to continue at a distance, but close enough to hear the conversation
(edited by Kotori_K)
Underage? Does that mean we can't ride all the rides...? I wanna ride them all with my friends...
*Medusa grins soon saying*
Vector Arrow, Times three!
*arrows like 'snakes' appears and arrows move rapidly towards Homura*
I'm just calling it how I see it, honeybunches!
In any case, do you think your "knight" would be able to protect you, little miss princess?
Umm... I think so. He's tall and strong.
Gamma turns back around to glare at Hades, if he's just trying to annoy people, it sure is working
And what exactly are you trying to imply here? Sure, you can joke about me being friends with them, that's kinda to be expected.
Gamma sighs and looks Hades in the eyes
But if that's supposed to be some kinda threat, I don't think anyone would like what happens next.
*Mayu wanders over to the group of people*
Heya. What's going on with you guys?
*Medusa leaves*
*the Yharnamite walks into the park*
Heeey it's my favorite Underworld manager, munching souls like taffy I presume?
Ah yes, but so is a bamboo pole, princess. Yet it does still bend at the slightest force against it. A small push against his will, how long will it be until he snaps in two do you reckon?
Hades chuckles at Gamma's threat, before bursting out laughing so hard the ground rumbles with each burst of air leaving his mouth.
So what if I'm giving you a threat? You think you can take me, Frostie? All right, hit me with your best shot!
Hades puts his fists up in a weak, almost mocking manner.

*Urumi just watches*
Gamma... you pissed off Hades?
I dunno what an internet troll is though...
Akari looks at Hades oddly.
Is he posing for a picture?
Homura sighs and gives Gamma a blank look, this really isn't the time to be dealing with something like that, is it? And besides, fighting some new jerk just for being an ass doesn't sound very smart. Instead, she'd simply turn Mayu and then point over at the castle, the various lights upon it shining in the night.
"Well, we just going to check that place out... I honestly haven't got anything better to do, so I thought why the heck not right? Anyways, I guess if you wanted to come along you could!"
Homura grins at Maya for a moment, before turning back to Akari and looking confused... Geez,
how odd that someone wouldn't know this in such a day and age.
"Well Akari, they're people without any lives whose sole joy comes from ruining the fun of others, pretty awful people really. But in the end utterly pointless and easy to ignore, so nobody really cares about their jerkiness when it can't actually do much!"
Gamma takes a deep breath and directs his right arm towards Hades
Shi......
Homura is sure to interrupt him, causing Gamma to shake his head and turn back away from Hades
My apologies, you're right. Lets just leave this clown behind. Not like he can do much of anything anyways. Just getting some kinda weird enjoyment out of annoying people. That's all.
With a sigh Gamma tugs on Akari's hand, to indicate they should probably keep moving
No need to worry about him, he'll be just fine Akari
*Mayu notices Urumi and waves at her*
Heya Urumi.
Kotori is still following along, Getting slightly closer
Ohhh, so they're meanies? I saw meanies in school. They pick their nose a lot. I wonder if he picks his nose too.
Akari continues walking along with Gamma and Homura to Destiny Castle
Castle Adventure~!
Hades shakes his head in disappointment before giving a small chuckle.
Is that it? You're wimping out on me before we even get going? Well, I suppose you'll have to find out if I'm all talk or not another time...
Toodles, lovebirds! I have bigger fish to fry, if I'm going to be honest. And when it really gets down to it, you're all just another plaything to me, and just like a good toy, you'll be in the toybox next time I venture into it.
Hades laughs again before walking off, a large treasure chest proofing into existence where he was once standing.
*Urumi waves to Mayu*
Hi...
Homura glares at the chest, part of her wants to just blow the thing to bits on the spot but... No telling what that could do, or if would scare someone.
"Ignore that, it's more obvious a trap than anything inside a Witch's Barrier, which is really saying a lot actually."
With that the girl once more sets off for the castle, various employee only signs line the way into it but... Well, Kyoko wouldn't let that stop her, so why should Homura?
"Come on Akari let's go... And also."
Homura adjusts her glasses before turning around again, she'd look back at Kotori with a grin on her face and wave to the other girl.
"Hi there! I've been kinda ignoring you up to now but well, seems impolite don't ya think? I'm Homura and if you're gonna keep following, you should join us!"
With that she'd once again set off, walking up the steps to the castle and looking around, as she moves towards the top she'd pass by various Christmas decorations, a few streetlamps lining the way painted red and white like candy canes. Along with a line of lights running across the front of the door... The door that is in fact closed as far as Homura can tell, well, nothing ventured right? She walks up and attempts to push them open, only to feel them resist her efforts.
"Heh, for some reason I don't really think we're meant to go in there... All the cool places are ones people say you shouldn't go though! So who wants to get those doors open anyways?"
The girl looks at anyone who's still following, a mischievous grin appearing on her face as her eyes gleam behind her glasses.
*Urumi had decided to follow the group, while trying to remember where those dealers she knocked out yesterday*
(edited by Urumi_Koto)
This place is pretty...
I wanna see all the halls!
Kotori makes her way to Homura
Kotori.
Uhh..... Not exactly sure what I'm doing....
Someone said this place would be "fun"
But I've mostly just been bored.....
Decking all the halls does sound fun. Whatever that entails. I used that term in the right context, didn't I?
Homura sighs at Kotori and shakes her head for a moment, maybe she just hasn't been going about it the right way?
"Well, I guess it depends on what you would call fun Kotori-chan! I... Well, I just like hanging out with people really, the rides and all that are neat, but it depends on the person, so... I guess without knowing you better, I can't really help with that fun thing. Getting doors open, however, is well inside my skillset!"
She smirks as her clothing bursts into a black dress with a white and blue overcoat, a blue bow resting upon the front as she turns around to face them for a moment. A small shield can also be seen on her right wrist at the moment.
"Now watch and see how a Magical Girl does these things!"
Inside of the shield, an hourglass snaps shut as Homura leaps a bit off the ground and turns around, her left leg slamming into the doors with a loud thud and the things coming open effortlessly, she'd land on her hands before standing back up. Dusting herself off as the flow of time resumes and her clothes return to normal, a wry smirk spreading across her face as she begins walking into the building and looking over her shoulder at them.
"Pretty neat huh? Or at least I like to think it is... I wonder if you can guess how I did it though? Most people seem to have trouble with that, so I'm pretty curious!"
*Urumi just sighs and enters the building, she looks around to see if this is where she knocked out those dealers*
The wandering barista had been walking around the park for some time, just minding his own business. But that was when it happened.
Is...is that a treasure chest?
The man looks around to see if anyone was paying attention, and when the coast was clear...
Well then. Finders keepers! I could use some extra money. Although, I do feel bad about this.
The man would then hesitantly reach down and open the chest.
Uhh......
Did you manipulate the wind behind the door to undo all the locks?
Homura chuckles... Wait, Homulilly might be able to actually do something like that, but not quite what happened here.
"Nope! Completely off the mark in fact... I'll give you a hint Kotori, my Magical Girl powers don't use elements at all. I've got something that does, but well I'm not very good with it yet. No, that one was something both more normal, and less!"
She looks ahead through the hallway in front of them, less decor lines the place... But yet still there's some, seems like a waste for a part of the park no one will ever see, but at least it's pretty!
Either way, she continues going forward towards a main hall of some sort.
Ah....
No wonder I didn't guess.....
There's element-less magic?
Kotori follows after Homura, curious
*Urumi keeps walking...*
Let me guess the shield you have is not normal but it's a magical sheild and it helped you opened the door by stoping time.... correct?
(edited by Urumi_Koto)
"Huh, is it that rare for you? Most magic back home doesn't relate to elements at all actually... And if I'm totally honest? The magic part was utterly to make myself look cooler!"
She smirks at the shorter girl as enters the hall, stopping her explanation for a moment to look at a tall Christmas tree in the center, lights dancing in her glasses as she grins at the thing. With that, she'd clear her throat and go back to the fun little magic lesson.
"Anyways where was... Oh yes, my magic! Well it's not like I needed to do magic, just being a Magical Girl kinda makes me a lot stronger than people... I just jumped kicked it open with brute force! The real question, how did I do it without you seeing me?"
Uhh......
You kicked it.... but I didn't see it.....
So.... Either you're so fast it's impossible to see you.....
Or.....
Time Magic?
........................
Being a "Magical Girl" makes you stronger?
How do I become one?
*Urumi just goes away but is still here but will be back*
Homura's face goes dead serious as she looks down into Kotori's eyes, just because it looks fun when she's doing it doesn't make it a good idea, Mami was a wonderful friend but... She really should have bothered to explain things long before they reached that point.
"I'll tell you this, it was the second one. Once upon a time, I wished to turn back the clock and save someone I love, it... Didn't go how I hoped, but things worked out in a way now that I'm here. But here's the thing Kotori, being a Magical Girl isn't fun, it's not exciting, and it can't make your life better."
She sighs and pulls her glasses off for a moment, her eyes being seen more clearly as they narrow at the thought of everything she's seen up to now. And suddenly, a small ring with a purple gem on her finger becomes a large almost egg-shaped gem with golden metal around it.
"See this? It's called a Soul Gem... And that name means everything it implies, it holds my soul now, that's part of becoming one of us. And you see the tiny black part at the bottom of it? If it ever turns fully dark... Well, to sum it up I'd become a horrible monster of grief and despair that kills anything its path just for being there... The only way to avoid that, is by killing those very beasts."
She tosses the glass back on and shrugs, it's not exactly a fun thing to talk about frankly... But she feels the need to impress upon Kotori exactly what she'd be getting into with that contract.
"As for becoming one... Kyubey, I can't quite tell you what the Incubators are or how they work. But I know they form contracts with girls about the age you look. To be exact, all you have to do is make a wish and you'll get powers based on that wish, it's why I can bend time after having turned back the clock. But... I've never seen one of our wishes work out how we wanted it to, somehow or another they backfire every freaking time, almost like the one granting them is just trying to mess with us."
On that cheerful note, Homura turns around and begins walking out of the castle, this fun little bit of info sharing hasn't exactly left her in the fun-loving mood... But, if it'll spare someone sharing this fate then it's more than worth it!
Ah... So it's one of those "Get powerful fast, but at a heavy cost" things......
.................
I'm not interested in easy power..... I just want some way of increasing my potential....
I've hit my ceiling....
So I think I'll pass on this.... "Magical Girl" thing...
Thanks for telling me.
And for the warning.....
Kotori notices her leaving and rushes to get in front of her
W-wait! Weren't you gonna show me why people say this place is fun?
"I-... Heh, alright I guess that I can give it a shot or something, though I won't lie Kotori-chan, talking about this stuff doesn't exactly put me in a good mood."
Homura messes with her glasses for a moment and looks around the place, hmm... What exactly should they do anyway? The ferris wheel is on fire!? Well, that's out then... Gotta be something around though, she glances over at... Oh yeah, Tower huh? Falling insanely fast is neat right? Well, sounds fun to Homura as she points to it.
"Heh, I bet you haven't been on anything right? Well... How do you feel about heights hmm? I can't exactly say this kinda stuff will be fun if they bother you so I'll just ask it now."
The chest doesn't seem to open.
Hmph. I never understood the obsession with chests anyway. Adieu, you hideous wooden construct.
He waves with a flourish before leaving.
Nah, I'm Ok with heights.
......
Kotori watches the tower in the distance
Are we gonna jump up it?
"Well... I guess we could try that? I've never considered it bu-"
Homura cuts herself off and giggles, it's unlikely she's that strong even now honestly, geez... She's feeling entirely too tired, as she thinks, an all too familiar feeling of despair flows through the girl and she mutters a curse to herself.
"Wonderful, tch guess I should deal with it before someone gets hurt... Sorry Kotori-chan, but I've gotta go deal with. Well, I already told you so I'll say the truth, I'm feeling one of those Witches not too far from here honestly, so uh I'll see you around... Hopefully, we can have a better time the next time we meet, but it was still fun meeting you!"
With one last cheerful wave to the other girl, Homura's clothes burst into her Magical Girl uniform before she dashes off into the night, she'd casually leap over a fence leading out of the park and look down to her Soul Gem, the usual glow leading her off to her target as the girl sighs... At least she can use Homulilly some more now.
Nn... Bye..... Homura-san.....
Kotori waves her off, an unknown feeling growing in her chest as she watches the girl leave
...................
I think....... I've been wrong........
A thick fog begins to roll in around Kotori.
"Oh? Another lost lamb? Young. Vulnerable. Weak."
A man that's familiar to the young girl would appear from the fog.
"Kotori Kisaragi. A disappointment from start to finish. I've come with an offer.
The warmness of the man she met in Yomi is gone, in its stead is this cold and wretched aura.
Huh?
Kotori turns around to look at the man, Hostility clear on her face
....................
Who asked you?
And what do you mean an "offer"?
He steps back into the fog and moments later is right behind her.
"Now, now...no need to be so hostile, my dear."
He puts a frigid hand on her shoulder.
"I, however, see a spark in you. I only want to let you glow! You fear that you'll be weak, right? You can't stand the thought of never getting stronger, right?"
He holds out his hand as a black orb leaps from the fog and into his open palm.
"My friend here would like to help you. His name is Termite. He will be your window to unlimited power. What do you say? No catch really, just go about your business and make the strong bow to you. Oops. I guess that last bit was a catch."
M-Make them bow to me?
..........................
Y-yeah..... I'd love that....
To see those pompous assholes eat the dirt.....
To be the one..... The weak one to surpass all of them.....
....................
And this... Termite would help?
How? I've already reached my ceiling of potential.....
I can't get any more powerful than I already am.....
(edited by Kotori_K)
"Ceiling?"
The man pats her on the head before stepping in front of her.
"My dear girl, you have barely begun to grow. You are still just an egg and soon you will hatch. And from there, you will grow stronger and stronger. I could use a General like yourself. An elite warrior. One whose power demands respect."
He holds out the orb to the girl with a malevolent grin.
"What say you, my Champion of Destrucion?"
......................
Kotori stands and looks at the orb for a few minutes, thinking to herself
All I have to do.....
Is beat people stronger than me......
That's all I've ever wanted to do......
Why would I say no?
Kotori holds her hand out to the orb, hesitant at first, then more confident
Yeah.....
I'll do it.
I'll crush all of them.
And I'll become stronger than them all...
She decisively grabs the orb, almost snatching it up
I'm a Kisaragi!
It's in our blood to be the strongest!
It's in MY blood!
"Good answer. You heard the lady, Termite! Help her weaken the foundations of those who oppose us!"
The orb would sink into the girl's skin and travel until reaching the center of her spine. Then a voice would speak to her directly.
"So you're my host then? Pleased ta meetcha! Name's Termite and I'm gonna help you bring those heroes to their knees! We'll have you revered as a Goddess of Destruction in no time!"
The voice would then quiet down.
"Now summon him. Bring forth his Armed Mode."
Uwa!
She's completely caught off guard by the voice in her head
A-ah. Nice to meet you.
..................................
Heh. Here I thought you'd be a deep ominous voice....
Hehe, Yeah. Let's take them down!
Kotori then looks at the man with confusion
Armed Mode?
Hey. Termite.... What's he talking about?
What's this "Armed Mode"?
How do I summon you.... it....?
"Ya just need ta focus! But no worries. I can do it myself for now! Comin' through!"
The voice speaks to her once more as she feels the creature move towards her hand and then it emerges. However, this form was different. The head of a sledgehammer comes out of her palm and is followed by the rest of the handle.
"Termite: Armed Mode! Whatcha think?"
The hammer begins to speak as a pair of red eyes appear on the two smaller faces of the hammer's head.
"Amazing! A proper weapon for a bringer of destruction!"
Woah! It feels creepy when you move!
After looking at it a while, Kotori looks nonplussed
Hammer.....
I mean, Useful for destroying buildings and all.... But I don't know how to use one.....
She grips the handle with both hands and takes a few practice swings
At least you're light though. I'll make due!
.............. I should probably keep you a secret though.......
The less others know, the bigger advantage we have......
"Agreed! I wanna make a huge IMPACT when people first see me! Hah! I can't wait ta bash skulls!"
The hammer would then retract into her hand and the sensation returns to her spine.
"Don't worry. As you two spend time together, you'll learn how to best utilize his Amred Mode."
Yeah.....
But why wait to start smashing stuff in private?
I wanna try this out!
Kotori turns her attention to the flaming ferris wheel
Hehehe..... you're so proud of your damn toy!
She pulls Termite out
Lets see how it stacks up to MINE!
Charging at the ride, Kotori lets loose a couple of heavy swings at the supports, crushing them and bringing the entire wheel to the ground as she smashes it to pieces
Ahahaha! I love it! I'll crush the small ones first... then I'll grow my way to the top.... Until finally.....
I'll break her just like she did Daddy!
Aaaaaah! I can't wait!
Fakelib just stands there with a grin.
"Smashing. I really am good at finding these hosts."
He turns back to the fog and waves at the girl.
"Ciao! And do remember to take care...that pesky Tatsuya is always around. And I can't stand the thought of him hurting my precious General! Hehehe! HAHAHAHA!"
He fades into the fog as he laughs.
All I have to do is keep a secret.
Shouldn't be that hard.
Right? Termite?
Hahahaha....
Kotori leaves the park, laughing joyfully to herself
