Ohya takes a sip from her glass, and sets it back down on the counter, littered with half empty and empty, knocked over bottles of alcohol of various kinds. Her flushed face glances down at the blank notepad, her hand fiddling with her pen.
“Another quiet night…†Ohya sighs. “I miss Lala-chan.â€

*Gamma glances into the bar as he walks past, soon he notices Ohya and pauses for a moment, before sighing and walking inside*
You know, its probably not a good thing to drink when you're the only one there. Isn't it supposed to be some sort of social occasion anyways? Besides, you seem kinda down in spite of it.

*Leo walks into the bar breathing heavily.*
I finally got away from all that chaos...Hope it doesn't get like this every day.
*Leo sits down at one of the booths on the sides and rests his head down at the table.*
It might take some time to adjust just like it did with Hellsalem's Lot...

Ohya sets her pen down and leans back as Gamma enters the bar.
"Hey, there's never a bad time to drink, well I suppose you of all people wouldn't understand. Besides, Lala-chan's been gone for a while now, and someone has to watch the bar while she's gone. You expect me to watch the bar and not drink while I'm here?"
She pours herself another glass while talking.
"You're not wrong about the last bit though. It's been really lonely, without Lala-chan around, and that kid stopped showing up too. I can't even focus properly on work, not that there's anything interesting around here to write about..."

*Gamma glances at Leo, before adressing him*
Sorry to break it to you man, but it really doesn't get much more... Calm. Though, this seems like a good place to start. Maybe I should visit more often.

*Gamma chuckles and looks back to Ohya*
Yeah, for some reason I haven't seen Boss around Leblanc in a while either. Maybe its some kind of weird trend. I mean, that's two small business owners who seem to have left.
*Gamma sighs and looks over the counter*
I don't seem to have much better to do at the moment, so I guess I can keep you company....
I'm sorry, I don't think we've ever actually exchanged names. You can call me Gamma for now, kinda lame, I know, but its better than nothing.

*Leo looks up at Gamma and smiles slightly.*
I'll get used to it eventually. It's like home in a lot of ways too. Though it is a lot lonelier here. I never realized how used I got to being around other people before coming here.
*Leo looks down again as they lose their smile.*
Guess I just gotta adjust.

*Honoka opens the door to the bar, eyes glued to a piece of paper*
Damn, the more of these I get, the more questions I have. I never get any answers either.
*He sighs, and looks around.*
Wait, how the hell did I get into a bar?

That's...a little strange...
That guy's aura...
No..it's nothing.

H-hey! Do you know me? You must by the way you talked, right?

*Haru finds her way inside. She isn't even completely through the doorway before she calls out for a familiar name, announcing her presence.*
Akira-kun? Are you-... Oh!
*She looks around at everyone, a little embarrassed of her rambunctious entry at this point.*

*Gamma sighs and looks back to Leo*
Trust me, you'll get used to it eventually. Nothing to worry about. Just keep your head up.
*Gamma then turns to the new visitor*
Come on in, I suppose the more the merrier right? You already came all this way after all, no need to hold back.

*Leo begins panicking as the man grabs his hand.*
Uh! No! It's nothing like that...It's just you give off a strange presence...
Uh! No! It's nothing like that...It's just you give off a strange presence...
"Lala-chan, and the Boss at Leblanc are both gone. Ooh! I hope it's some kind of conspiracy! That might make for a good story!"
Ohya quickly picks up her pen and writes something down in her notes, her handwriting is hardly legible.
"You're right by the way, this place is usually calm. I'm usually the only one in here now, even when I do remember to turn on the open sign. It's nice to see people in here again for once. My name is Ichiko Ohya. I'm a journalist, but with Lala-chan gone, I guess I'm basically the substitute owner of the bar as well."

*Leo's attention turns to Ohya.*
A journalist...? Does that mean you work with a photographer as well? I'm actually an amateur photographer in my free time.
*Leo begins pulling out his camera.*
Not sure if I'm any good yet though.

I got too excited there, I'm sorry.

S-So this is a bar, I see...!
[Kazuma enters the bar, looking around with curiosity. He also notices the a group of people he is already well acquaintance. And without making much noise, he sits at the back.]
I-I wonder how this kind of place works...

*Gamma chuckles to himself and looks back over the counter*
Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if it were. Either that or maybe they're on some sort of honeymoon. Not sure if that would be a better or worse story.
For you, probably worse since it would be shorter, shorter story fewer issues it takes to tell after all.
You know, I'm actually kind of curious, how do journalists get paid anyways? Is it a per word, per issue, per hour, or what?

*Haru nods compliantly with Gamma's advice, approaching the counter and finding herself a place two seats down from Ohya. She keeps her head down for the most part, having already made somewhat of an outburst has made her hesitant to pipe up again so quickly. Haru instead listens in for a while.*
*Leo begins looking between Honoka and Kazuma as his eyes begin opening more.*
Both their auras...why are they so similar?
Both their auras...why are they so similar?
Hm? We're similar? Well, that might explain what happened the other day.
*He pinches his chin, and closes his eyes in contemplation*

The bar wasn't somewhere Jin frequented but there were occasional times. The only reason he would waste his time on such establishment was when his Nii-san was there. Speak of his Nii-san, he could not track the other down. He missed his Nii-san so much he could stab Yukianesa into him several times. Aside from his obvious obsession, Jin took notice of those around him. Among those people, he spotted what he thought was the familiar face of Hazama but it was only young Kazuma Kval. What was he doing here? Wasn't he too young to be at a bar?
"Hey, kid," Jin called out as he moved his way to the back.

Ohya scratches her head.
"Ah geez, a lot more people are showing up today."
She turns attention towards Leo.
"Well, I really just carry my own camera."

Y-Yes...!?

*Gamma sighs and looks around again, noticing the crowd*
I take it these people are regulars? At least, I've never seen so many new faces in one room before. *shrugs* I guess its bound to happen when you go somewhere new. Run into all kinds of people.

*Skipping down the road carrying convenience store snacks, Platinum, or more specifically Luna wasn't expecting much of anything on another weird Nexus day... until she saw a familiar face and a kind of familiar face*
...Huh!? THIS guy is here!? You better not cause trouble!
*She pointed at Jin. She only glanced at Kazuma for now. Something in her stirred as she did though...*

*A new looking girl is quick to open the door and slide inside, closing the door up tight.*
Oh man... *she muttered to herself* Shinjuku used to be insane...
Oh man... *she muttered to herself* Shinjuku used to be insane...
*Leo goes back to looking at the table.*
At least it's not as chaotic as outside in here. Been a while since I've been able to just sit down without all the insanity.

*Gamma begins to look around more, concerned, as more and more people pile in, soon he notices Kazuma and Luna*
Gee, came here for some peace and now its practically bursting... I.. Suppose I'll find somewhere else
*Gamma quietly stands and walks towards the door*

I didn't know this place was even here until my friend told me about it. To be honest this part of town unsettles me... But I haven't felt that way around all of you yet so I'm thankful for your hospitality!
*She smiles brightly, her gaze specifically on Gamma.*

"Sorry Gamma, I'm the only regular here. I've never seen any of these people before. Hard to believe, but they really are all new faces."
Ohya puts a few fresh bottles of alcohol on the counter.

Jin merely lets out a tired sigh and rolled his eyes at the other's shy antics. Jin kept his composure regardless of how much the other was getting on his nerves. He was about to speak up until a shrill voice filled his ear drums. Great, that one was here as well.
"If you don't mind, Trinity." Jin seemed to hiss out the other's name. "I was going to ask this young one here a few questions. Mostly about what a minor is doing at a bar."

W-What a noisy place...
[Kazuma does his best to ignore the sudden madness happening around him. Although, something about the little girl's presence felt...somewhat familiar.]
It's probably just in m-my he-
[The sudden mention of the name "Trinity" immediately caught his attention, but still, he tried to remain quiet, and calm.]

*Honoka turns to Jin and begins frantically waving his arms dismissively*
Oh, no officer, he's with me! We're both fresh out of college, see. We're legal adults, I c-can assure you!

*Leo takes notice of trinity and looks at her with his eyes half open.*
Multiple auras? Is she possessed or something?
Multiple auras? Is she possessed or something?
*The girl stands aside quickly for Gamma, casting him a curious glance as she slinks her way all the way inside. Trying hard not to look out of place....*
Trinity isn't my name! It's Luna! It's just me and Sena here!
*Upon being addressed, Gamma walks back to the counter, and looks at Haru*
Its the least I could do.... Miss. This is maybe my second time in the area, I can see it taking some getting used to. Especially since alot of... More interesting characters are showing up recently
*Gamma gestures to Jin, and Trinity as if to prove a point*
As Ohya pointed out, more new people seem to be showing up daily. *Gamma chuckles* Guess this is a popular city to wind up lost in.

And who are you calling possessed!? *She yells at Leo* Are you a chuunibyo or something!?
*Leo realizes what he said out loud and begins to panic.*
Oh, sorry. It's nothing, I have trouble seeing sometimes and it makes me say weird things!
Oh, sorry. It's nothing, I have trouble seeing sometimes and it makes me say weird things!
*At the mention of 'interesting characters' and the outburst from Platinum, the girl just awkwardly saddles up to the bar and tries to look busy.... so far her little adventure was not going her way it seemed.*
Jin crossed his arms over his chest. He narrowed his icy eyes at both the so called detective and the Hazama lookalike. Although Kazuma's features were more youthful, Jin refused to be deceived. Who knew what that snake was planning. Perhaps he would take his Nii-san away before Jin could kill him... A truly dreadful thought. Either way, Jin plopped himself in between Kazuma and Honoka.
"Since we're all adults here. Why don't we share a little drink together?" Jin suggested, intending to get Honoka out of the way. Although he didn't give a damn about killing the other on the spot and take Kazuma for questioning, he supposed he could be civil. There were too many people here to cause a scene after all.

((You all have no idea how many times I've done this today. I just give up on changing accounts.))
"Hey, as long as the kids don't start drinking, they can stay. Honestly I don't care, but Lala-chan would have my head if she found out I let minors drink while I was watching the place. I joked about letting that Kurusu kid drink once and she glared at me. Lala-chan can be very scary sometimes."
U-u-u-um.... what kind of drinks do they serve here for kids anyway? *the girl finally speaks up, with nowhere else really to sneak away to*
"What do we serve here for kids? Let me check."
Ohya doesn't check.
"Water."
Ohya doesn't check.
"Water."
*Upon hearing Ohya mention Akira's last name, Haru's interest piques. She turns around in her chair, so that her body is now facing Ohya, before addressing her.*
Oh you know Akira-kun too? Ohya was it? My name is Haru Okumura, one of his good friends.
Oh you know Akira-kun too? Ohya was it? My name is Haru Okumura, one of his good friends.
I-I'm not really a minor...a-a-a-and...g-geez...!
[Kazuma plays with his hair, both embarrassed and uncomfortable. He's never had any kind of drink, at all. But for some reason he felt like he should. Once again, like everyday...his curiosity got the better of him.]
O-Of course...yes, a drink is what w-wer should do...
[The shy boy does his best to keep smiling, although his cheeks are red.]

*The girl seems to barely pay heed to the water comment. This was her in, she's for sure not invisible or dimentionally-shifted or something.*
S-so you mentioned an.... Akira Kurusu.... was it?
*she then looks over at Haru for a moment before nodding slightly to herself*

"Ah, Okumura-san, is it? Hmm... There's a food company with that name, isn't there? Well yes, I know Akira Kurusu. He used to come by quite often and share stories of those Phantom Thieves. He's quite the fanboy, isn't he?"
*The girl grins to herself, holding a hand up to mask a snicker.*
And... where is Akira now...?
And... where is Akira now...?
OOC: FRICK!
Jin supposed he could get in trouble for giving a minor alcohol but if a man has something to do, he will go through it. Of course, he would still relentlessly question the young man until a confession was out that he was either A.) a minor B.) That snake Hazama that was trying to steal his Nii-san away from or C.) all of the above. Jin supposed he would start off simple. Serving sake to the other couldn't be that bad. Jin was determined to rat the other out some way...
*The detective, surprisingly perceptive for once, realizes the major's intent. He immediately goes on high alert, but sees no out to this situation. He decides to back off for now.*
S-sure! Let's all get some drinks together.
S-sure! Let's all get some drinks together.
*Haru tenses up a little due to the mentioning of the Phantom Thieves. She rubs the back of her head nervously and tries to play it off cool.*
Th-the Phantom Thieves huh? Oh yeah he loves them! He uh... has all their merchandise! Wh-what in particular does he say?
*She doesn't do a good job to say the least...*

OOC: Should note that he doesn't know exactly what he's thinking, just that he's up to no good
It wasn't hard to over hear the others call out his name. As much as he wanted to avoid it (and the smell of alcohol), he made his way over and took a seat aside Haru. Initially Akira was shocked to find the other there but eventually, Akira got over it. The more the merrier and hey, maybe they could bond over this someday. Akira looked up at the women and leaned his elbows up against the bar counter. "So, I heard my name being called but if I recall... I do believe I heard Migrant's voice. I wonder where she could have gone since the night is still young."
*Leo smiles nervously.*
No, alcohol for me. I'm only 19 so I really shouldn't be drinking.
No, alcohol for me. I'm only 19 so I really shouldn't be drinking.
[Kazuma stays in complete silence as he looks at the small glass of sake. He takes it with two of his fingers and takes a closer look, as if it was something he had never seen. Unsurprisingly, this really was his first time with alcohol so close to him. Kazuma, with all of the inexistent courage he has, drink the entire thing in one try.]
Done...!
[His throat burns and his stomach hurts, but he did it. He has a much more confident smile on his face because of this.]
And...what is your name, Mister Icy Gaze?
Done...!

*The girl perks up again when Akira walks over, not to mention when Mig is mentioned. But one quick look at Akira later and her expression turns downcast.*
You're not Akira...

"Well, it seems the man of the hour himself as shown up. Haven seen you in a while Kurusu. So, what are your favorite Phantom Thieves up to these days?"
*Haru gets excited when she hears the familiar voice. She turns to face Akira, a bright smile plastered on her face.*
Akira-kun you came!
Akira-kun you came!
Akira lets out a good mannered laugh at Ohya's introduction. "The usual," Akira responds. "Changing hearts, challenging society... You know... The stuff teenagers dream about when their 'cruel' teacher gives them a bad grade." Akira lightly joked. He then nudged Haru with his elbow. "She can tell you all about it, too. She collects a lot of merchandise from them. She's as much as a dedicated fan as Mishima!" Akira then turned his attention to the quiet girl hanging around Ohya. You're not Akira... How particular. That's the first time he's heard that in a while. "You don't think I'm Akira Kurusu? I could show you my school ID if you don't think so."
Akira is a girl, though. And you're very clearly not one.
*Oh, she has a little bite to her after all! And she's apparently talking about that other Joker that hangs around the Nexus.*
*Oh, she has a little bite to her after all! And she's apparently talking about that other Joker that hangs around the Nexus.*
*Haru tilts her head in confusion, not only at Akira's mentioning of Haru possessing fake Phantom Thieves merchandise, but at Ami's bizarre claim that Akira is not only fake, but also supposed to be a girl.*
Uhm... Akira-kun what is this lady talking about?
Uhm... Akira-kun what is this lady talking about?
Ohya giggles and glances at Haru.
"Oh? Her too? Are all your friends fans of the Phantom Thieves of Hearts? Quite the group of people you hang out with."
"Oh? Her too? Are all your friends fans of the Phantom Thieves of Hearts? Quite the group of people you hang out with."
Jin cast a side glance at Kazuma as he drank down that sake. He thought the minor would've flinched or backed out but pleasingly enough, he didn't. It didn't take an idiot to notice the other's new found confidence. Jin was merely amused. He poured himself and Honoka some sake and made light talk. How was college? How did you two meet? What majors are you? The whole spiel. Jin didn't care much for answers but just looked for inconsistencies or nervous reactions from the two but he answers when he was called upon.
When he heard Kazuma call him Mr. Icy Glare, Jin couldn't help but roll his eyes a little. It wasn't the first time he heard this but the evidence of the other being a minor was piling up. "My name is Jin Kisaragi." He blandly introduced himself. "And your name?..."

[Kazuma leans back on his chair and keeps smiling with confidence. His hair now reveals his right eye, althought it is now closed.]
My...name is Kazuma Kval.
[Bored, he places the glass on the table once again, and looks at Jin's direction.]
It's a pleasure to meet you, Mister Kisaragi...

*Haru gets flustered from Ohya's response. She waves her hands at her frantically, frowning as she tries to explain.*
He didn't mean it like that Ohya-chan! I-I didn't even know merchandise existed for the Phantom Thieves!
He didn't mean it like that Ohya-chan! I-I didn't even know merchandise existed for the Phantom Thieves!
Least to say, Akira was surprised by the other's claim. A female version of him? A possible phantom thief no less. It was a thing to look into. Perhaps there was another band of phantom thieves out there that would be able to aid in their mission. Leaning towards Haru, Akira discretely spoke to her about his thoughts. Akira concluded in the end, it was most likely better to ask Ami about the other Akira she had met. Once Akira had thought about it more clearly, there were only two out comes. There really was a female version of him or the other was under the influence. Facts were the only way to prove that he was right. "It is quite a crowd! I don't believe I've met this other Akira before. You said she has the same name as me. What's she like?"
((this is twice im ready to chuck myself to the moon))
[[ Godly. ]]
*He didn't really have answers for the detective, so he mostly made up answers as he went, bluffing surprisingly well as he drank the sake. Major in "criminal justice", "we met at a part and just kinda hit it off", etc. He was noticeably shaking his hands during the conversation, but his voice wasn't shaking.*
The name's Honoka, nice to meet you Major Kisaragi.
*The young man extended his hand to shake, but paused at what had just come out of his own mouth, looking down at the ground contemplatively.*

*Upon being asked the girl starts talking almost instantly...*
Well, Akira is really really cool. She.... never gives up, and she's always doing what's right, and her and her friends saved the city from an evil god.... or a few... and, um, she's always there for me when I need her.
*She rambles on a bit longer like this before stopping. Honestly, it sounds like her relationship with this other Akira is rather close.*

*Haru quits her act with Ohya once Ami starts going off about the female Akira. She listens in intently, as if ready to jump down her throat once she found the slightest discrepancy between the two Akiras. Haru is rather shocked to find that they actually sound quite similar.*
That... sounds eerily similar to this Akira.
That... sounds eerily similar to this Akira.
She overhears Ami's rambling and begins laughing.
"Saving the city from an evil God? Ahaha! Your friends must have a lot of fun playing games like that."
She turns her attention back to Okumura.
"You didn't know the Thieves had merchandise? It's hard to believe that's possible with how much it's being advertised now."

"Oh really? I thought your name would've been Terumi or perhaps Hazuma?" Jin waved his hand, dismissing the thought. "Both of them have green hair, one of them likes boiled eggs and the whole spiel." Although he said it dismissively, he knew Hazama would not let this go. Perhaps tease him a little bit more or make some sort of slip up. The other besides him was already slipping up by the way his hands were shaking. Honoka also called him 'Major'. Nothing much Jin could do about the other but shake the other's hand.
"No need to be shy, we're all drinking buddies here after all." Jin cooly responded.

Akira tentatively listened to Ami's words and drank in every fact, every word and every syllable that that came out of her mouth. He tried hard to analyze and conclude the fact. Ami sounded like quite the intimate partner to his feminine counter part. Akira merely smirked and decided to tease the other a little bit more. "Oh, I see. Perhaps we might have similarities. I'd sure enjoy to meet her but I think she would very much prefer you at her side than me." Akira gave a teasing wink before returning his attention to Haru. "Words are just words after all. I'm very sure there's a meaning behind this. If we meet in person, then perhaps there will be something off about the two of us."
*Haru addresses her next statement to Ohya, looking at her from the corner of her eye and over her shoulder.*
I uhm... I think they're nice but I don't want to litter my room with their stuff alright? I think that's a good way to put it.

Huh...? I-Wait... are you saying you think I'm dating my mom!?
*le bombshell*

*Something the major had said set him off, but not even Honoka really knew what. He fell out of his seat and onto his knees, clutching his forehead. Sweat was beading off of his face like crazy, making a small puddle on the floor of the bar. His breath was ragged, and shaky. He tried to speak, but his sentence only came out as messed up babbling, mixed in with short exhales and stuttering.*
Well...I do like boiled eggs, they are the thing I like the most, although Miss Trinity is really nice, I don't get it...
[Kazuma then reminisces on the name "Terumi". The weird man of dark aura that appeared before him some time ago, when he was still in Ishana talking about "Azure" and what not. Creepy.]
I knew a Terumi, although...barely, he had green, spiky hair and a terrible aura...
[A chill runs down his spine, and his eyes open up, revealing a pair of golden eyes. What was he scared off? The man, or some sort of revelation?]
Mister Kisaragi...d-do you know anything about this Terumi...?

Akira was taking a sip of his water when the other had revealed that his feminine counter part was a mother. Akira spat out his water and began choking from the sheer shock of the other's statement. Eventually he calmed himself down enough to talk. "O-Oh... I see. Misconception, sorry." Akira really hoped he wasn't a father anytime soon. He was still a high schooler damnit! Lord help him now.
*Haru smiles brightly. The reassuring words and suggestive wink put her at ease, having complete faith in her charming and intelligent leader.*
You always know just what to say Akir-
*Haru shut up upon the revelation that this alternate Akira is a mother. Her eyes widen and she just seemingly stares off into space, unsure of how to respond or even react to such a truth.*

Jin's face grew grim. He was about to explain what type of person Terumi was since the child before him looked terribly frightened. It reminded Jin of the times he needed Ragna to be strong for him. He had no idea how to explain it to a child so young was one of the problems. He was a man of facts. He wasn't really known for compassion. Just as he composed himself to talk, Honoka fell. Although it was just a bar, the man had his guard up. He made sure Kazuma was safely behind him. "He's suffering from the alcohol. He's alright, Kazuma although... Drunken people vomiting their guts out isn't a preferable sight."
Jin slowly knelt behind the other. "Honoka." Jin called out. He placed his free hand on Honoka's shoulder while the other gripped Yukianesa.

*The young man tries to regain his composure, but mostly fails. He does manage to sputter out a sentence though.*
Y-yeah. it's the alc...alcohol. I...I gotta go.
*He seemed to mutter something else under his breath, before darting out of the bar, tripping over the last stool before the door as he ran. He didn't bother to right it though, he just kept running.*

I see...please Mister Detective, you should be much more careful from now on...
[Kazuma looks at Honoka with a worried expression, and then turns to Jin once more.]
I-Is there any way I could help...? I'm very sorry but my healing magic is terrible...
[Then Honoka just runs away, and Kazuma immediately follows behind.]
M-Mister Detective, wait!

A soft snoring sound drifts across the room. Ohya is sitting behind the counter, her head leaning against her arm, and her eyes shut. She's mumbling in her sleep.
"...Make sure.... you guys.... lock up for the night...."
...How convenient of her to mumble that in her sleep.

*With the sudden, strange occurrences happening back to back, Haru quickly stands from her seat and goes for the door. It would seem she's been spooked but she's at least polite enough to bid everyone still standing a farewell.*
I uhm... I should probably get going now. Akira-kun I'll message you later. Thank you for your time everyone!
*With that said Haru hurries out.*
