Simply opening her eyes, Nacci looks around the sky before herself without standing up. "Location confirmed, time unknown, record inconclusive. Reboot, standard procedure." Her eyes flash for a moment before going dim. A faint familiar start-up sound plays before the lady finally picks herself up and looks around properly. "Hmm, first thing to do is check up on anyone around." She lets out a long sigh, her right hand now shifting through her bangs. "Let's hope someone else is around, let alone has information about this."

Naoya awakens and finds himself in a random part of the city he was usually wandering about. He gets up, but then gets the crushing feeling that something is obviously wrong... He looks around the city, trying to look around his surroundings while putting his hand on his katana, which was fastened around his hip, next to his MP-5 SMG, staying on guard.... Should he notice something, he would immediatley take out his katana and call out to his persona.

[There are multiple people around, but they pay no attention to Naoya or Nacci. They don't even glance at Naoya's weapons.]

Normally for the definition of "Wrong" Is good for Sho as he would smirk looking at the fools and Possible new people to hunt down and have some "fun"..... "Oh how I love the fools of this city.....Makes me want to pity them! Oh a cruel world this is where I'm the cruelty!" Sho looks at his cuffs and fiddles with them blending in with the crowd

Nacci simply watches the people around for the moment, before trying to grab the shoulder of whoever looks the most... alive. "Excuse me, could you tell me where I am right now? Have you seen anything suspicious around? Do you know what the date and time is?"

Naoya still is suspicous, but eases up for a bit before just wandering in the crowd, wondering if any of them know this strange feeling of something being wrong

[The crowd pays no attention to the three, and Nacci's words are completely ignored by one of the people. Her attempt to grab them just makes her hand pass through empty air. The trio seem to be the only ones that can perceive each other...]

Naoya finally notices Nacci asking people, and walks up to her, "You notice the abnormality too?" He asks her, putting his hands on his hips and waiting for her response.

Tired of seeing people pass by and nothing chaotic going to happen Sho holds a hand up and Smirks as his eyes glow yellow and a dark orb forms In the palm of his hand and throws it like a ball right into the crowd "That should do the job now HAHAHA!"

Nacci suddenly jolts backwards as her hand phases through the passerby. Either everyone's become a ghost, or... "... There's got to be something around here... ah!" She turns with a jump once she hears Naoya, before breathing a sigh of relief and giving him a smile. "Yes, I noticed. Honestly, I'm simply glad to not be alone in this. We should be able to find the answer to this together, I reason." She begins to look down the different streets around her, specifically looking for anyone or anything out of the ordinary. Her memory was not just metaphorically, but literally photographic, so hopefully she was able to notice anything odd at a glance, should this really be a part of the regular city.

[Indeed it is. The only difference is their... unique situation.] [Sho's attack bursts outwards, creating an explosion within the crowd... but the only thing this accomplishes is knocking Naoya and Nacci back. Everyone else is unharmed.] [On the trio's left hand for each of them, they feel a burning sensation. A red mark appears on their palms: 60:00, counting down. Any cellular device or messaging system on their person also beeps.]

Leo woke up in the middle of the street, he was on the middle of the road, but lucklily he is not hurt. Where...? Leo stood up and looked around, at first sight he didn't noticed anything interesting, he placed his hand on his check, when he did thay he began to hear some kind of noise Tic... Tac... Tic... Tac... Leo's attention turned to his hand and then he saw the timer. What!? What is this!? Tico!? ... ... ... Hello? Can you...? Leo looked around, he tried to ask a person buy he also ignored him. Hello? Can someone hear me?

Nacci quickly picks herself back up after being thrown back by Sho. She wastes no time in putting her left palm up towards him, a small hole in the middle opening. "One more attack like that, and I'll go at full force. We're in a strange situation right now, you included. So unless you want to be stuck in this nightmare for all eternity, help us." At that, she then pulls her left arm back as the burning sensation kicks in, noticing the numbers as well. She then stops moving for a moment, almost as if frozen in time, before her open mouth lets out a beep similar to the other's devices. She finally comes back, reeling backwards with her hands over herself. "U-um... excuse me..." She quickly puts her left hand to below her ear, seeming to press a button almost. She was simply bringing up her own ability to see what the beep was, like unlocking a smart phone.

"Hmm...You want me to help you!? I can just take kill you now and get out on my own! But I may listen for a price...." The Smirk turns to a vicious smile as a glare is sent to nacci, Sho only having the idea of tearing her apart slowly and painfully

[To save time, here is the message:] "Welcome, my little test subjects. Please proceed to the subway station marked on the attached map. You may need to pair up. In that case, just touch your left hands together to make a pact with someone. Arrived at this station within 60 minutes, or you will be punished. -HS"

"What!? I'm no ones test subject! Alright fine...I'll bite and believe you...." A glare is given to nacci as a feeling of disgust is Within Sho

She shakes her head and sighs at the unfamiliar man's look, before turning to Naoya. "Hey, it said we need a partner. How about we pair up? I think we'd probably be a decent team, don't you?" She raises up the back of her left hand to him, waiting to see how he responds.

Leo looked at the sky and then around him, trying to find who is speaking to him. I have 60 minutes... well, 58, maybe is better if find someone to pact with... Leo carried a hand to his lips and he began to think, probably there are more like him on this situation, if he can find someone to "pact" with... wait... why he has to pact? Anyways, is better if he teams with someone. He said the train station? Probably more people will go there, is my best move but also is very risk... I don't know what I could face... I have time yet, I'll look around. Leo will look around, trying to find soneone. OOC: if I meet with the others or not is your decision catto.

[Leo eventually wanders towards the direction of the station. Out of nowhere, something leaps out! It's just a few humanoid dog-like Kobold demons, but something's off about them... They're a dull color with some bright green streaks, and their form wavers often.] [Nacci's only option is Sho at the moment, since Naoya has vanished.]

Nacci stops and looks around, trying to find Naoya, but he's seemingly vanished. Not even waiting a moment, she sighs and motions Sho to follow her, deciding not to offer him the same partnership. "Come on. Let's get going..." She begins to head off towards the station, not bothering to wait for him.

Shadows!? Not... demons? Uh... digi... poke... nevermind... Leo took out his brynhildr, his tense face turned to a confident smile. Sorry but you've taken the wrong adversary. Leo opened his brynhildr and raised his hand to unleash the magic of the brynhildr.

Nacci catches up to Leo just in time to see his magic... Not affect the demons at all. They growl and begin to approach him... Sho easily reaches the station while avoiding enemies at that speed. However, he... runs into an invisible wall. Someone laughs nearby at this sight.

"TSUKIYOMI! KILL THOSE FREAKS!" Tsukiyomi Appears and Casts Vorpal Blade on the demons and vanishes as Sho arrives to the train station and unsheathed his pair of Swords

[Said demons are unaffected.]

Nacci rushes up to Leo's side, beginning thrusting her palms the demons, ready to shoot, but noticing the lack of an effect by Leo's magic... "I'm not sure if we can do this like this... maybe this is why we need to pair up..." She looks down at the back of her left hand before bringing it up to face height and moving it towards Leo. "Hey, tap the back of my left hand with yours."

Leo got surprised, the enemies are inmune to his magic? could it be... related to this pact? He need to perform a pact with someone to be able to fight? Maybe... I need to do a pact with someone... Just when Leo said that, Nacci appeared, maybe this was the best chance to team up with someone. Alright! Leo tapped the back of Nacci's left hand with his left hand.

[Pact made: Nacci-Leo] [There's a strange rush, as if something's moving between their hands. They feel in sync, and the demons don't look as unstable to them anymore. The three Kobolds bare their teeth and charge, swinging their clubs.]

Alright, let's if see if this works now, go Brynhildr! Leo raised his hand and next to him a few roots appeared they began to grow up towards the demns, ready to stab them. Be carefull Nacci, we don't know what they are able to do.

OOC: sorry I was abscent, should I still continue as if I've been here the whole time?

ooc: very well.

OOC: ok IC: Naoya somehow finds himself next to Sho, who seemed very agressive about everything. "Huh? What just happened?" When he looks at Sho he gets on the defensive and takes out his katana, "Are you behind this?!" He yells

Nacci gives Leo a smirk, putting her palms out towards the monsters once again. "Heh, don't worry about me. I'm not as fragile as you'd think. I'll be your shield!" A burst of light comes from her palms as she unloads bullets onto the Kobolds while Leo's roots aim to stab them, aiming with a wide spread in order to hit all of them at least a little, as well as restrict their movement.

"Oh I Wish! I'm trying to kill those things before they get me!'

Naoya looks towards what Sho appears to be fighting, and quickly turns his stance against THEM. "Ok...well I suppose I can help fight them off..." Naoya then touches his face with his left hand, rather on instinct, "VISHNU!" he calls out and blue flames start to encircle him, with a being that appears to have come out of Naoya through some way appearing behind him. With a red flowing cape and black armor that sports a bit of a hindu motif, it stands firm, staring down the demons. "Maragion!" Naoya yells as Vishnu unleashes a fire spell that burns the demons with medium damage.

"Can't you piece it together from that text?" [A teenager in headphones hums as he taps buttons on a DS of some kind. He smiles a little as he watches the Kobolds burst into energy from the attacks.] "Down easily. Classic weak Kobolds. Well, I assume you gotta pact to get past that wall by the station, Red Hair and Katana Boy. Of course, I'm always open, although I can find someone for myself if needed."

"Me work with him?! You serious!?"

"That's why I offered. The name's Kade." [Kade grins, and holds out his hand.]

"Ya know what! Fine I'll take it!"

Naoya looks at the aftermath before turning to Sho, "Alright, I don't trust you as much...but this will be the only way we can get through...if you're ok with it..." He then extends his hand forward towards Sho, "I'm Naoya, Naoya Toudou."

Great work Nacci, looks like we have to work together if we want to beat those monsters. Leo closed his brynhildr and he looked to the timer in his hand, better to reach soon the station, just in case something happens We should't waste time and go to the station, I don't want to be punished.

"Very well Naoya...I plan on doing things then not die!"

"Very well. Let's go." Nacci looks down at the back of her left hand again, before heading off towards the station.

[And thus the station has been reached...] [The numbers disappear. Mission complete.] [Another text is sent.] "An easy test, but it just tells me if I will do this again or not. It is unlikely, but good data nonetheless. Thank you. -HS" [Everything is back to normal, the snake's spell gone.]
