Aergia

OOC: Here it is! https://phansite.net/forum/topic.php?topic=8281

Tsugumi-Chan

I would try to fix it, but Ruby's more skilled in the art of gunsmithing. She made a sniper-scythe!

Kageomi

*Walks in nibbling on a bun*

Hello.

Tsugumi-Chan

*smirks* Wow, you also have a pretty sweet persona. Y'know, Imma just calk you a keeper~ *winks*

Tsugumi-Chan

(*Call, dammit)

Bgammax

*Gamma turns to Kageomi once more*

Well, that was fast. How did your business go?

imtherealklib

*Kalib finishes his coffee and turns to Yang.*

Hey....would that be called a Crescent Rose?

Unit_Spectre

Interesting Ms. Xiao Long your sister is quiter the thinker and tinker

*shows her his supressed ACOG Razorback smg*

This is the Razorback, an smg that functions like a LMG.

Tsugumi-Chan

*looks at Klib* Yeah, how'd ya know?

Kageomi

*She eats the rest of the bun*

Uhm, mostly checking on Ko-chan. Then I took a nap.

Aergia

Alright Yang, let's go!

Unit_Spectre

^^quite... DAMN IT!

Tsugumi-Chan

Yes, ma'am!

Jokerboi

And I thought I was a flirty one....
Also, if you wanna see a real cool weapon, check out this pistol!

*Pulls out a pistol similar to that if Satanael's, but human sized.*

imtherealklib

*Kalib grins.*

Well your sister must have quite the fan! My friend Emerson made a Crescent Rose himself, and it kicks about as much ass as the real thing if I had to wager a guess.

Jokerboi

Joker: Oh, what's good Kalib!

Arsene: Salutations, one who is named Kalib. I am Arsene

Tsugumi-Chan

*looks at the pistol* wow... That's a sweet pistol! *looks at Klib* Okay, hold the phone! Your buddy is cool! Try dual revolvers that double as Kamas! This girl, Emerald, has weapons like that, and they are really good!

Unit_Spectre

*scans Arsene under is helmet and finds the result INVALID every time*

You are an interesting being sir.

imtherealklib

*Kalib waves at Joker and Arsene.*

Nice to see you Joker, and nice to see you outside of battle Arsene. Talkative one aren't ya?

Jokerboi

Joker: *does some spin tricks with his gun* Yup. I had it made to have as much power and as much style as one of my other personas, Satanael. I used him to shoot god in the face!

Arsene: Indeed I am, technology user. Who might you be?

Kageomi

*She looks at Kalib*

Scanning. Name: Kalib. Nice to meet you.

Jokerboi

@imtherealklib
Joker: Yea, today he's very chatty...

Arsene: Is that a problem?

Joker: You do you, man

Tsugumi-Chan

*inspects Arsene and Joker* Damn, you two are really well-built... Yang likey~

imtherealklib

*Kalib smiles at the girl.*

That's right, pleased to make your acquaintance.

*He turns back to Arsene and Joker.*

Sorry, I didn't mean it like that. It's just Leonidas only grunts and yells, I can barely get him to speak.

Ignis_Dominus

*Iggy enters the cafe*

My. It's been far too long since I have visited this place.

Jokerboi

@Tsugumi-Chan *Laughs*
Joker: Oh my, I think we're gonna get along just fine, little lady

@imtherealkalib
Arsene: Ah yes, the warrior Leonidas. He always was a man of few words

Unit_Spectre

I am Specter Arsene.

*his right hand spins around and is turned into the Scythe minigun*

I lost my real right arm when I was patroling in a ruined city looking for survivors. Then a red haired man in a tuxedo and wearing a mask cuts it off with a katana. I founded a dead Reaper unit and my modular system went to work.

Bgammax

*Gamma waves at Ignis as he enters*
Haven't seen you in a while. Any excitement happening for you?

Jokerboi

Joker: Hey Iggy!

Arsene: Greetings, Ignus

Kageomi

*Looks at Ignis*

Scan. Name: Ignis, for short Iggy.

Ignis_Dominus

I was almost dragged into something by two strange men...

Tsugumi-Chan

*looks at Ignus* Hey there!

Jokerboi

@Unit_Spectre
Arsene: Quite the backstory, Specter. A pleasure to meet one as mysterious as I

Bgammax

*Gamma doesn't seem surprised at all as he hears about Ignis's experience*

Yeah, told you something would happen if you stuck around long enough. Still, looks like you're fine. Not really THAT much to worry about as long as you're careful

Ignis_Dominus

Hello. You're a new face here.

Tsugumi-Chan

Hah, wish I could give you a backstory... But I'm not ready to put it on the front! Ba sum tsss

Tsugumi-Chan

Nice to meet ya! The name's Yang. Yang Xiao Long~

Unit_Spectre

The feeling is mutual Arsene. I am a assassin hunting corrupt politcal and militaristic members and Jacque Schnee is my next target.

Kageomi

Good pun. Can someone serve me a Mocha?

Tsugumi-Chan

*looks at Spectre* Break his legs, nice and slowly...

Jokerboi

@Tsugumi-Chan
Joker: Beautiful and funny? My god, the total package!

Arsene: Remeber Star?

Joker: I know, I know. I'm just being nice..

Ignis_Dominus

I am Ignis Dominus. A pleasure.

Tsugumi-Chan

...you, sir, are also quite easy on the eyes...

Jokerboi

@Tsugumi-Chan
Joker: Question, is your whole deal that you're pretty and hit on people?

Ignis_Dominus

Hm? What manner of creature is that?

imtherealklib

*Kalib eyes Ignis warily, before packing up his laptop and paying for his coffee.*

Thanks Gamma, it was actually really good despite your best efforts to say otherwise.

*Kalib walks by Ignis and stops, staring him down.*

You...

*He offers a smile and a handshake.*

...looked familiar, I just couldn't place the name! Have a good one Iggy! Catch you later!

Emerson

Yo, may I get a coffee here?

*Em is suddenly sitting at the counter. No one saw him come in, nor heard him sit down.*

Bgammax

*Gamma accepts the money and, unsure of where to put it, simply sets it behind the counter. He then turns to Em*
You're going to have to be more specific than "A coffee". There are a lot of different kinds after all.

Jokerboi

@Ignis_Dominus
Arsene: Are you referring to me?

Kageomi

*She looks at Em*

Scan. Emerson. Hmm. When were you here?

Tsugumi-Chan

*smirks at Joker* Nope! I can also kick ass! *her bracelets turn into gauntlets, and she loads a couplenof slugs in the chambers* Meet my Ember Celica~

Tsugumi-Chan

*looks at Emerson* Oh, hey. Didn't see ya there.

Ignis_Dominus

Good day to you as well.

Tsugumi-Chan

(*Couple of, dammit engrish!!!)

Ignis_Dominus

@Jokerboi
Yes.

Emerson

*Sigh*
Gonna be honest Gamma, I have no idea how to order coffee. I usually just say, "One coffee please!" and someone gives me a coffee.

I'd be willing to learn though.

@Kageomi
It's a little thing I got recently. Although, I'm pretty sure energy detection still works.

@Tsugumi-Chan
Yo. How's it hanging? You... remind me of someone...

Jokerboi

@Tsugumi-Chan
Joker: OH. MY. GOD. THOSE ARE FRIGGIN NUTS! You ma'am, have caught my attention. You and I are gonna be friends!

@Ignus_Dominus
Arsene: I am Arsene. Pleasure to meet you.

imtherealklib

*Kalib smiles at Iggy and waves at everyone.*

Alright guys! Catch you on the flip side! I got an apprenticeship with Doctor Ivo, while Ver is away on business. So I gotta jet! Ciao!

Tsugumi-Chan

Really? Neat! The name's Yang. Yang Xiao Long~!

Tsugumi-Chan

*smiles at Joker* I have a feeling we'll be great friends!

Bgammax

*Gamma sighs as he looks at the shelves behind him. Noting all the different blends*

Well, it seems there are three main kinds of coffe. Light roast, Medium roast, and Dark roast. Dunno what the differences are between those. And among those three there are different blends, I assume they all have different flavors.

Kageomi

Oh. That's nice.

Ignis_Dominus

@Jokerboi
Ignis Dominus. But I'm sure you already know.

Jokerboi

@Tsugumi-Chan
Joker: Awesome! I like making friends! *Puts hand up for a high five*

Kageomi

I still need Mocha.

Emerson

@Tsugumi-Chan
Well, nice to meet you Yang. I'm Emerson.

@Bgammax
... I feel like I know more about this than you do actually. I might just not have enough faith in myself.
Medium size light roast with a lid full of ice, if you will.

Jokerboi

@Ignis_Dominus
Arsene: Indeed I do. I just wanted to greet you in a normal manner.

Ignis_Dominus

It is appreciated.

Verde_Buster

*walks in damaged and broken*

Help... repaires... now!

Tsugumi-Chan

*high fives Joker* Yeah!

Oh, you're Emerson? Kalib told me about you! You made a second one of my sis's weapon, the Crescent Rose right?

Ignis_Dominus

May I please have some coffee?

Bgammax

Alright, that's simple enough.

*Gamma looks at the coffee cups, choosing the one in between the other two in size. He then pulls out a random light roast, a New England Roast, and proceeds to make another cup with it. This time there are no real problems with the drink itself. However, in his attempt to make ice for it Gamma ends up completely freezing he inside of the lid*
There you are Em. One light coffee thing.

Bgammax

*Gamma quickly turns to Ignis*
Want to be more specific on the type you're looking for? I can work with just "coffee" but there's enough variety I don't really want to risk that.

Ignis_Dominus

Surprise me... I need to get my mind off of my encounter...

Kageomi

..... I still need Mocha.

Bgammax

*apparently flustered at his failure*
S... Sorry ma'am. Its a bit crowded here, I must have missed your request, coming right up.

*Gamma looks at his phone for a moment, before beginning to prep a Mocha. While working on it, he grabs the nearest bag of beans, a Spanish Roast, and starts working on Ignis's coffee*
Never appreciated how much effort a cafe could take before.

Emerson

Yup. Made myself some blueprints a few years back, and got really interested. It was a bit of a project with limited supplies at the time, but I managed to make it. It's really darn reliable, even without Speed.

*He takes the coffee from Gamma and puts the money in his hands.*
Thanks. Always love some good LeBlanc.

Tsugumi-Chan

Nice! Really cool to find someone that did such a feat that isn't Ruby or Uncle Qrow.

Emerson

I've been working weapons for a long time now. I know my ins and outs of making something like this.
I've been looking at Remnant weaponry a lot lately, and I've been actually making some designs of my own.

*He pulls out a small silver pistol from his belt, with light blue accents.*

This is pretty standard fare. Fires cartridges the same as any other Dust shooting weapon.

Bgammax

*Gamma soon manages to finish the Mocha and Spanish blends, but in his rush he hands Ignis the Mocha and Kageomi the coffee*

Ok. I think I did pretty well with those. Must be getting the hang of this cafe stuff.

Ignis_Dominus

*Iggy sips a bit*
It's... bland...

Tsugumi-Chan

Huh... Interesting. Hmm... Ever do a katana with the sheathe as a revolver? My mom has that, I think.

Kageomi

Wrong drink.

Bgammax

*Gamma looks between their drinks, and quickly takes them back up.*
My apologies. Give me a few moments, I'll sort this out.

*This time Gamma makes the drinks one at a time, Mocha first, handing it to Kageomi before he moves to make the coffee. Once the coffee is finished he hands it to Ignis, before bowing to the two apologetically*
I am so sorry for the mistake. No need to worry about paying, its the least I can do to make up for it.

Kageomi

It's okay. I rushed you after all.

*She shrugs and sips the coffee*

Ignis_Dominus

*Iggy sips the new cup of coffee*
... It's still bland.

Emerson

Hmm... I do have blueprints for something like that. It was... oh, what was it...
Gamble... something...

But yeah, something like that. But anyways, this gun can also do this.

*He presses in a button on the handle, and it shifts into a Short Sword. The blade glows a light blue as well.*

It can do that. Er, the blade's not normally this color. It's Dust.

OOC: Believe you're thinking of Blake's weapon? Raven's weapon is an Odachi, and it has no gun portion as of yet.

Unit_Spectre

OOC: Gambol Shroud

Tsugumi-Chan

(OOC yeah, my bad!)
Gambol Shroud!!! Blake's weapon!!

Emerson

OOC: I know it's Gambol Shroud. Just IC stuff.

Bgammax

*Gamma looks at Ignis, uncertain*
I.. I did everything right. Not sure what's wrong with the coffee then. At least.

*Gamma checks his phone*
No... Instructions don't seem to be the problem. At least, I don't think there's anything wrong.

Tsugumi-Chan

*starts having a mini freakout* Oh my Oum! Oh my Oum!! You are a real MVP!! It looks exactly like Blake's weapon!!!

Ignis_Dominus

I'll still pay for it.

Emerson

Yeah, that's the one...

Anyways, I've gotta go. Shop's gonna open soon, and I wanna go talk to someone. Take care.

*Em puts down his empty coffee, and suddenly disappears from sight. Those who can sense energy can feel him walking out the door.*

Tsugumi-Chan

*stares in awe* Invisibility... Awesome...

Kageomi

*Continues sipping coffee*

He's not invisible to those who can sense energy though.

Emerson

*He pops back into vision near the door.*

Perception diversion, actually. Not that it matters, just something I figured out.

*He walks away normally.*

Bgammax

That's not the issue Ignis. The point is I screwed it up somehow. I should be the one to have to deal with it. Not you

Ignis_Dominus

It's just a simple mistake. I'm sure it won't happen again.

Kageomi

Ya Jus' gotta get better with each try Gamma.

*She drinks all the Mocha*

You did good on the Mocha though.

Tsugumi-Chan

*slowly shuffles close to Ignis* ...Soooo, you're pretty hot. That why you're called Ignis?

Ignis_Dominus

Hm? Could you tell that I have small control over fire?

Kageomi

Shi-kun needs to see this.

*She silently records with her phone*

Bgammax

*Gamma sighs and returns to the seat behind the counter*
Whatever... Just.. Tell me if you need anything I guess.

Tsugumi-Chan

*smirks* Kind of a dead ringer if you ask me. Latin class really paid off, I know 'cause your name translates to "Dominant Fire" or "Fire of Dominance." Your aura does seem a bit warm, too.

Jokerboi

@Tsugumi-Chan
Joker: Hey, I'm pretty cool too. I shot a god in the face!

Ignis_Dominus

Latin? Is that a language in this world?

Tsugumi-Chan

Ooh... Pretty cold move if you ask me. Things got a bit heated, I'm assuming? Ba dum tsss!

Tsugumi-Chan

Yeah. Latin's an old and dying language, though. Not a lot of people understand it.

AkariSuzumoto

Complicated talk...

Tsugumi-Chan

*waves at Akari* 'Sup.

Ignis_Dominus

Interesting. Well you aren't wrong about the meaning of my name. My parents believed I would be a great Pyromancer... however they were proven wrong...

Kageomi

*Stops recording*

Eh, I could always tell him what happened.

*Starts nibbling on another bun*

Tsugumi-Chan

Ooh, Pyromancy. Wish I could do that.. My semblance isn't that, though.... Wish it was, since my hair does catch on fire when my semblance activates.

AkariSuzumoto

@Tsugumi-Chan
What's sup? Is that a soup, Miss?

Ignis_Dominus

Tell me, what is a "Semblance"?

Bgammax

*Gamma looks up, finally knowing Akari*
Ok, cool. Haven't seen you in a while, so I was starting to get a bit worried. I take it you're fine as usual? Still wandering a bit I guess.

Kageomi

*Eats the whole bun and looks at Akari*

Scan. Akari Suzumoto.

Tsugumi-Chan

Oh. A semblance is a manifestation of one's aura, a power akin only to them. Semblances are gained through excessive training of one's aura, or by chance, or are even passed down by blood. Mine is strength, or as I'd like to call it, Doube-Strike! Doesn't make sense, but it sounds cool. See, when I'm conscious I can take almost any hit, and I absorb it and strengthen myself with those attacks. Then I can activate my semblance and deal back double the damage I took. Also... Don't touch my hair, unless you want things to get ugly...

AkariSuzumoto

I found a new place to explore, so I was there for awhile. But now I'm back here again. Not that that's bad.

Ignis_Dominus

N-Noted.

AkariSuzumoto

@Kageomi
Are you looking inside me, miss?

Kageomi

No. Just taking a scan of your physical body to find out your identity.

Tsugumi-Chan

Anyways, you said you weren't a great Pyromancer. Do you have a different affinity with a different element?

Ignis_Dominus

No, just fire. It seems I can't use the Mana within me very well.

Bgammax

*Gamma raises an eyebrow at Akari curiously*
And what place would this be? New things pop up all the time, if you want to I could probably join you to look into it.

Jokerboi

Woah, that sounds pretty awesome Yang! We should soar sometime!

Tsugumi-Chan

Hmm.. Mana's the energy you use to perform magic, right? I think I have mana potions I bought in Fjordsdale, for people in Remnant studying magic. In case I met someone who needed them. I guess you're that person! *takes six mana potions out of pouch* Here. I think if you just practice, you'll get better at managing your Mana.

Tsugumi-Chan

Hell yeah, Joker! It'll be a pretty sweet battle. I'm prolly gonna have to take you down with a Yang! Ba dum tsss!

Ignis_Dominus

I-I'm not sure this is the best solution...

AkariSuzumoto

@Kageomi
Ohhh... What did you find out?

@Bgammax
Just a foresty place outside this city. There was a bunch of stuff to explore, but I have seen it all now.

Kageomi

Just your name. Nothing personal.

Tsugumi-Chan

I insist. Take them. Again, you're only gonna get better at using your Pyromancy if you practice. Unless I unlock your aura and help you train it to unlock your semblance, but that's also gonna take practice. You'd not wanna have me train you, since my semblance is pretty much a temper tantrum, as my dad calls it.

Jokerboi

@Tsugumi-Chan *Laughs* Good one! I'm excited to spar you, Yang! I wanna see those gauntlets in action!

Tsugumi-Chan

Eheheh... Did you see what I did to Junior's club? I wrecked them all!

AkariSuzumoto

@Kageomi
Oh. If you knew something about me that I didn't know then I would wanna know too.

Ignis_Dominus

Thank you.
*Iggy takes the potions*

Kageomi

I try to be cautious about people's privacy. That's why I only scan for their name, and if possible some already known and common backstory.

Tsugumi-Chan

No problem, Iggy. A friend in need is a friend indeed, I always say!

Tsugumi-Chan

*pulls out scroll, showing security footage*
See Joker? Here's the proof!

Click to load youtube video

Bgammax

*Gamma smiles at Akari*
The point isn't necessarily what you see. In fact, the boring places can be the best. Gives you a chance to relax for a change, regardless of what all is happening

Ignis_Dominus

I suppose.

Jokerboi

@Tsugumi-Chan
HOLY SHIT YOU'RE A BADASS! Now I DEFINITELY have to spar you!

Tsugumi-Chan

*smiles, giving him a thumbs-up* Oh! *she takes out some fire dust crystals, handing them to Ignis* Here. If you need to use a burst of fire real quick and not use up your mana, use these. Fire dust crystals are your friend~

Tsugumi-Chan

*smirks at Joker but turns serious* Just don't touch the hair, okay? Don't wanna end up like Junior there, do ya?

Ignis_Dominus

I would rather use natural fire.

Jokerboi

@Tsugumi-Chan Gotcha! I'll just beat every other part of you!

Unit_Spectre

*walks in tired*

Mishimans is a no go on getting ammo...

Tsugumi-Chan

*shrugs* Okay then, Iggy. *puts the dust crystals away* Anyways, good luck in your endeavors to become a great Pyromancer~ *winks playfully* You're gonna need it~

AkariSuzumoto

@Kageomi
Oh. Well you can scan more and tell me what you find if you want.

@Bgammax
Can you really be happy seeing the same world over and over...? That sounds sad...

Tsugumi-Chan

*smirks at Joker* Heh.. Have fun and good luck, then! I didn't get to the singles round of the Vytal tournament for nothing, you know!

Kageomi

Impossible. Full scan is already done and nothing has been found. How unfortunate.

Bgammax

*Gamma maintains an airy demeanor*
Well, its not always about where you're going but what you do there and....
*He pauses for a moment, his smile, briefly turns into a frown, but he picks it back up again*
Anyways, that's not important. Familiar places can be a good thing some times.

AkariSuzumoto

@Kageomi
Oh. I guess that makes sense since nothing important has really happened to me.

Ignis_Dominus

Thank you.

AkariSuzumoto

@Bgammax
This place is nice, so that's true. I just dunno what new stuff there is without seeing it with my eyes.

BonafideMonafide04

*Poofs in, invites people to show off their persona at a location, and leaves*

Kageomi

I'll leave. I need to check up on Ko-chan and Shi-kun. Bye.

*She leaves the cafe.*

Jokerboi

@Tsugumi-Chan Trust me, if I can beat a god, I can hold my own in a fight!

Tsugumi-Chan

*nods at Ignis* You're welcome! *let's out a wistful sigh* ...you should let me buy you dinner, though... You are quite the looker~

Tsugumi-Chan

*grins at Joker* I'll hold you up to that, then!

Randomperson2021

*appears in a flash of electricity*

Hey everyone.

*takes a seat in a booth*

Tsugumi-Chan

*waves at the new guy* Yo.

Ignis_Dominus

Thank you for the offer, but I cannot accept.

Unit_Spectre

So...

*looks at Yang*

Anything planning?

OOC: Tsugumi to know what character you're switching change to a image to that character so I can know.

Tsugumi-Chan

*shrugs* Alright, then. Worth a shot, though~

Tsugumi-Chan

(OOC: Alrighty)

Bgammax

OOC: They did actually, you simply need to clear your cache first. The site keeps images pre-loaded from your computer to go faster.

Tsugumi-Chan

Uhm, not really. But... *stretches* I need to get going. I'm bushed... See you all tomorrow, probably! See ya! *she leaves LeBlanc, revving up her motorbike and speeding off*

BonafideMonafide04

*poof 2 electric boogaloo* Hey guys! Anyone behind here? One hot cocoa please!

Jokerboi

Bye, Yang! I think I'll be going as well. Later folks!
*Joker Disappears through the shadows*

Unit_Spectre

OOC: If that came off as rude I am sorry
IC: *takes off his helmet to show his Joker-esk hairstyle and switches his right arm into the Scythe minigun which the ammo drum drops to the ground*

Anyone got ammo?

Bgammax

Give me a moment
*Gamma checks for the hot cocoa and, after checking his phone for a moment, quickly moves to make it. This goes much better than his initial coffee attempts as he gets it in front of Bona in minutes*
There you are. One cup of hot chocolate. Do leave feedback. I could use some more practice with this stuff.

Ignis_Dominus

What an interesting girl.

BonafideMonafide04

*Bona drinks it in a big gulp, taking a second to taste it. Wow, amazing! Better than most I've ever had!

Bgammax

*Gamma simply shrugs at the compliment*
Must be the ingredients here. Got to be some reason people keep coming back right?

Unit_Spectre

Again... I need ammo to refill my guns...

*shakes his empty Argus shoty and Scythe arm*

Bgammax

*Gamma turns to Spectre*
Sorry man, this is a cafe, not a gun store. I know someone who runs an armory though. They go by Em. You'll probably have better luck finding them. They deal with custom stuff all the time

Migrant

*Enters*

I woke up on the wrong side of the bed.

Something incredibly stupid has happened today...

Unit_Spectre

*reverts his minigun arm to normal*

Alright then I will be there.

*puts on his helmet, gets up and leaves the cafe*

Bgammax

*Gamma turns to Migrant*
Many incredibly stupid things have happened today. Fortunately you're not one of them. Honestly, sometimes it feels like I'm the only sane person here.

bluehairedemo

*Yuki enters* Hello everyone.

Bgammax

*Gamma turns to Yuki*
Greetings miss. And you are?

bluehairedemo

It's me, Yuki.

Migrant

.... What.... the actual... fuck....

Bgammax

Oh boy, so we've had like, three Yukis before. Now there's a fourth one and they're a girl. At least that one's kinda new.

bluehairedemo

No it's the same Yuki. Just... you know...

Migrant

Reminds me of that time we had a loli Aigis that was actually a fake.... Kirijo Group make a new invention at Aigis' request?

bluehairedemo

Huh? First I've heard of this.

Tatsuya

*Walks in and spots Yuki* Okay why the fuck is this this Ranma one half now? Like what even happened?

Bgammax

*Gamma simply sighs and begins to occupy himself by cleaning cups*
Just when I thought I'd seen it all... This happens.

bluehairedemo

I have no idea...

Migrant

You're telling me you expect us to believe you just woke up randomly a girl?

That seems far fetched.

bluehairedemo

It's sadly the truth.

Tatsuya

Wonderful just wonderful... Have you tried water? I hope it's not literally Ranma that'd be fucking weird.

bluehairedemo

You ok Tatsuya?

RobowaifuAigis

*slides in and almost smacks into the counter again*
.... Fuck this body.

Migrant

.... Oh great, you too?

Actually I'm less surprised this time because I figured you two would come as a single uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

WAIT WEREN'T YOU PREGNANT!?

bluehairedemo

She.... He was. This happened after Shino was born.

Migrant

Shino?

bluehairedemo

Our daughter.

RobowaifuAigis

By the way, Shaigis is watching Shino
I somehow convinced her not to completely corrupt her.

Tatsuya

Hmm why do you ask if I'm okay? I mean the answer is honestly not really but that's nothing to do with this.

bluehairedemo

You sounded like you were having a mental breakdown.

Tatsuya

Oh not really. Not since Ira happened at least.

bluehairedemo

Well... either way, this is me...

Migrant

Well... got any leads on turning back?

Tatsuya

Aigis are you sure the shadow wasn't lying? I mean she's probably a worse influence than I am and I tried to teach a 6 year old how to shoot.

bluehairedemo

Nope...

Migrant

Hmm... well I suppose I have nothing better going on, I can try and help you out.

RobowaifuAigis

Eh, she's surprisingly good with kids... Strangley enough.

Tatsuya

Eh I can try too I guess, the easy way would probably be to just hunt down some potion or spell... No telling if that works though you might be cursed for some reason.

bluehairedemo

... Don't you usually hate me?

Hibiki

Hello! I said I'd be back, and here I am. How is everyone doing tonight?

Tatsuya

Hate you? Since when man? And hey Hibiki I'm doing pretty well. Yuki is a girl now for some reason though.

bluehairedemo

I was talking to Mig.

Bgammax

*Gamma nods to Hibiki*
Greetings, young lady, make yourself at home. I'm doing pretty well tonight, and am currently in charge of the place. Just give me a request and I'll do my best to fill it.

Hibiki

...Yu...ki? I... don't think I know a Yuki...

Migrant

Normally hate you? Who gave you that idea?

bluehairedemo

Just your general attitude towards me.

Tatsuya

Mig? Since when man. Also Yuki is the woman with blue hair. Who is normally a guy with blue hair. You might not know him, oh yeah how's it going with you anyways Hibiki?

Migrant

Since never. I... don't think I've ever acted bad toward him....

*hmms* Well besides Lux...

Tatsuya

Yeah but you were hardly me over that. *He grimaces* I really regret that in hindsight.

bluehairedemo

Well yeah there was the time in Lux's palace. And yesterday. Just always felt hostile.

Migrant

Yesterday? What'd I do yesterday?

Bgammax

*Gamma casually leans back as he stands behind the counter, arms behind his head*

Now now everyone, settle down. We have a guest. Would be shame to lose them because you're talking too energetically.

bluehairedemo

I think it was yesterday. When I joked with you having no sex appeal.

Hibiki

Oh! I see. I've seen him around a few times, but I never caught his name. Yuki, got it!
Nothing much has been happening with me, sorry to disappoint. I've just been relaxing. It's nice not having to fight all the time like I used to, but it does feel a bit weird.

Migrant

Oh that....

*hmphs*

Well clearly you have a lot of it now.

I'll have you know it's not easy being unmarried.

bluehairedemo

Yeah, I know.

Bgammax

*Gamma looks at Hibiki with interest*
So you're used to fighting then? Well, I wouldn't mind sparring if you want practice. How did it work where you came from? I mean, my world was pretty boring, so pretty much everything I've got I picked up from here.

RobowaifuAigis

*pours himself some tea, because he can't just live off of coffee*
.... Screw you Rachel.

Tatsuya

She used music powered super armor Gamma. Not exactly the normal sorta world.

bluehairedemo

Rachel at it again?

RobowaifuAigis

Yeah, I swear she's loving this.

bluehairedemo

*You know she is* Shut it Adam.

Migrant

.... What?

bluehairedemo

Our narrators.

Migrant

Narrators...?

RobowaifuAigis

Just narrator problems.

Hibiki

Something like that, it's not... really magic. I don't really understand all of it, but the Symphogears were designed by Ryoko, using ancient technology. Me and my friends used our Gears to protect us and others from dangerous creatures called the Noise.
I... lost mine when I came here though...
B-But Master helped train me in martial arts with his action movie collection! So I don't need to rely on it!

Tatsuya

Action movies? Shouldn't you learn actual combat skills? And don't you have a Persona anyways come to think of it?

Hibiki

[[Fuck I misread Music as Magic, I need my eyes checked apparently ]]

bluehairedemo

Yeah. We all got em.

Tatsuya

Well not everyone in the Nexus has one, but I'm pretty sure Hibiki has one.

Bgammax

*Gamma can't help but laugh a bit at Hibiki's explaination*
Don't worry about it too much. Things always work out in the end. If you want, I can help you train a bit, not good for much, but I can handle myself in a fight. Or you could let others handle the fighting. There're plenty of people who'd be willing to help out If you ever ended up in trouble.

Hibiki

H-Hey, Master always said, "Eat, watch a movie, sleep! That's all you need to train!" It works for him, and it works for me!
Persona... I think I got one a while ago... but it's a bit... confusing.

Tatsuya

How's it confusing? Do you have trouble summoning or using it's skills? Or both... Also that's an awful way to train for normal people was this guy something supernatural?

Hibiki

Uh... All of it! I'm used to just... punching... and kicking things.
No, Master was just a normal human, his strength seems supernatural, but it's all normal. His training works better than you think it does!

Tatsuya

... If you say so Hibiki, I'll stick to actual training myself. Anyways for summoning you want to do it on your own or just shoot yourself with a fake gun?

Bgammax

Well, if you have a persona that makes things much easier. It can serve as your supernatural strength if you end up in a fight.
As for how... It usually comes naturally. You sort of shout the persona's name to make it appear, then have it do something. Like this.
Shiranui, diamond dust
*His persona, an eastern dragon made of blue fire appears around him, and generates several spears of ice. These spears are then launches into each other, causing them to shatter into a sort of dust, although some larger shards fly out*

Migrant

Yuki, did you fall on your head today thanks to those things...?

Hibiki

Hmph, I'm not lying you know.
G-Gun?! I... think I'll hold off until I absolutely need to if this is the case...
Ooh! That's a nice display... Gamma, right?

bluehairedemo

Of course you would say that.

Migrant

I think it's a serious question watching Aigis nearly destroy the counter.

RobowaifuAigis

I'm just not use to having a lighter body yet.

bluehairedemo

No, we didn't hit our heads.

Bgammax

*Gamma nods to Hibiki*
Indeed. Gamma's what they call me. And I gather from your conversation with Tatsuya that your name's Hibiki. I think I could get used to having you around. Just be careful kid.

imtherealklib

*Kalib walks back into the cafe.*

Hey everyone!

*He slips into an open booth and begins typing away on his laptop.*

Tatsuya

Sup Kalib how's things going?

imtherealklib

*Kalib looks away for a moment before looking back at Tatsu.*

Uh, well, I got another job as a lab assistant...

Migrant

Well then you're just weird. Narrators, psh.

*You'll get your's....*

Anyway, hey Kalib, welcome to crazy town. Population Yuki-chan and Aigis-kun.

Tatsuya

... Working for who? Not Ver right? Ya know the guy who killed Hibiki.

Hibiki

Hehe, yep, my name is Hibiki Tachibana!
Don't worry about me, I can take care of myself.

imtherealklib

*Kalib nervously looks away.*

Nah....I already was helping him out...but I haven't seen him in a few weeks....but I've been helping a new Nexus resident, Doctor Ivo! He's a big fella, and he likes machines! Isn't that rad!

imtherealklib

Whatever do you mean Mig-

*Kalib notices the pair and looks away.*

Well I now feel emotionally conflicted....must be a Thursday...

Bgammax

*Gamma simply sighs*
Look, you have a phone right Hibiki? I'd kinda feel bad if you got yourself hurt. Besides, I seem to be handing my number out to anyone these days.

Tatsuya

Kalib you mean Eggman? I'm pretty sure he's evil too, *He sighs and shakes his head* can't you work for a non evil scientist? Wait shit do we have any.

Migrant

I'd say Kirijo has some but honestly I'm still unconvinced they aren't somehow responsible for all this madness today.

RobowaifuAigis

Hey, I'm not crazy... Yet.

imtherealklib

*Kalib thinks to himself for a moment.*

I think there was a guy named Wesker....he sounded like a cool dude.

*Kalib scratches the back of his head.*

Hey, c'mon! The first time either him or Ver gets out of line, I throw their ass in jail! I'm not gonna let them be evil, if they are evil that is.

Tatsuya

Wesker!? That guy's thing is frigging Umbrella man... Kalib you're an awful judge of character.

Hibiki

Oh, yeah, I have a cell phone!

[she digs it out of her pockets and stares at the screen]
....

imtherealklib

*Kalib smiles innocently and lets out a laugh.*

You aren't wrong....ahaha.... Quite a flaw, being able to give people the benefit of the doubt.

Bgammax

*Gamma raises an eyebrow at Hibiki, while he gets out his own phone*
You ok kid? Looks like som.... Oh... Yeah.... Thinking of home I take it?

Hibiki

Yeah... Sorry, I was just looking at my contacts and thinking about everyone I haven't seen in so long...

RobowaifuAigis

*sips his tea*

Tatsuya

*He smiles sadly* It's not a flaw... Some of my very best friends could do that actually, heh maybe I'm just too paranoid now?

Bgammax

*Gamma stares out the window as he answers*
Don't worry about it kid. I'm sure you'll see them again someday. Mind adding me to your contacts? It would be safer if you had someone here you could call if you're in trouble.

Tatsuya

Actually have you got my number? I mean I'd like ta think we're sorta friends.

Hibiki

Yeah! I probably should add more people while I'm here, the only one I can contact here is Miku. Ah, here's my number!
[Shows Gamma the screen]

Bgammax

*Gamma seems a little surprised, but he puts in Hibiki's number*
It was mostly supposed to be for your sake. Give me a moment.
*quickly writes his number down on a napkin and hands it to Hibiki*

*Gamma then turns to Tatsuya*
You know full well what I think on that subject. I don't have any reason to call you.

Tatsuya

I wasn't talking to you jackass, clearly that was meant for Hibiki.

Hibiki

Might as well be prepared, right? Who knows, you may need to contact me at some point.

...Uh... Come on you two... no need to fight.
But, good idea Tatsuya, here!

Tatsuya

*He pulls out a card with his number and hands it to her* Gimme a shout if you need a hand with something. And fine I'll try not to fight... Kinda what we do though frankly.

Bgammax

*Gamma sighs and turns back to Hibiki*
I'm not going to start anything. especially not here. I'm kinda in charge I guess. Definitely don't want to wreck the place.

imtherealklib

No Tatsu, you're experienced, not paranoid. I could only imagine that if I had to deal with half the shit you did, for half the time then I'd be just as jaded.

*He flashes him a grin before turning back to his computer.*

Ah Gamma...ever the ray of sunshine.

*Kalib laughs as he continues to type.*

Tatsuya

*He frowns* Yeah I guess so Kalib, *He laughs bitterly* Maybe if I'd been more like I am now back then Maya wouldn't of ever died to begin with.

Hibiki

Thanks for the contact details.

I should probably head out before it gets too late.
But try and keep calm... people shouldn't fight others...

imtherealklib

*Kalib remains silent as he tries to find the words to help Tatsu.*

Tatsuya

Heh fighting isn't so bad, always helps take my mind off things ya know?

Bgammax

*Gamma checks the time on his phone, and then looks around*
Anyone think they can keep this place up while I'm gone? I kinda need to sleep too.

imtherealklib

I can take over need be Gamma.

*Kalib raises his hand, continuing to type with the other.*

Bgammax

Nice to know at least some people here aren't useless
*Gamma yawns as he walks out the door of Leblanc*

imtherealklib

*Kalib grumbles and sticks his tongue out after Gamma is out of eye and earshot.*

Alrighty. Let's do this thing.

*Kalib walks behind the counter and puts on an apron, leaving his laptop running in the empty booth.*

Alright, ladies and gents! What can I get you this afternoon?

Tatsuya

You mean very early morning? Also gimme something that won't keep me up for a change.

imtherealklib

*Kalib shrugs.*

Meh. I blame my sleep schedule....anyways, something with less caffeine coming up!

*Kalib opens a drawer in the back and begins sifting through small boxes until he finds the one labelled "Chamomile". He moves back to the counter and begins boiling water as he puts a spoonful of tea leaves into a small metal ball, and plopping said ball into a cup. Minutes pass and the water is boiled. Kalib elegantly pours the boiling hot water into the cup and wipes down the counter where water splashed over, before finally bringing the cup of tea to Tatsuya.*

Here ya go, this is my go to for relaxing and unwinding. It's very aromatic and helps to boost your immune system and promote better sleep.

Tatsuya

*Ye takes a sip of the tea* Pretty good yeah. Thanks Kalib, so beyond doing work for likely evil doers what else ya got planned?

imtherealklib

Run maintenance on the GYM. Figure out how to get Ene to choose me over Gamma. Figure out why my eyes go weird from time to time.

*He lists these off on his hand.*
