GYM: Gauntlet of Despair

GYM. The playground for all the local supernatural heavyweights to blow off some steam and better themselves and their relationships in the process. However today was different. The air was heavy around the usual hangout and the sky was filled with swirling grey clouds. The atmosphere was downright oppressive and rightly so. A bank of fog rolled its way down the street until it came across GYM. The wall of cloud stopped for just a moment before pressing itself into the building's exterior. Cloud and concrete slowly began to intertwine and coalesce into a strange swirling substance. This process continued all the way up until the building was fully converted into this strange material. CREAAAAAAAK!! Suddenly the building began to make horrifying noises. The source would come from twisting branches of corrupted concrete forming into malevolent looking growths. Each one was different in execution than the last, but each had one thing in common... they all held a sharp piece of rebar in the tips. As if on cue, the sky would open up in a seemingly endless downpour. Accompanying the harsh rain was relentless lightning strikes against the building's makeshift lightning rods. Upon walking up to where the door would be you'd notice that it too was corrupted in the same vein as the rest of the building. You get the feeling that the door may not take kindly to being kicked. It also holds a message on it that reads: "It's our house now.."

Once Upon A Dream

The city of Tokyo was oddly quiet tonight. The moon was high in the sky with a brilliant light, but on the ground there was nobody to bask in the radiance. Seemingly everyone had vanished without a trace. Cars were left unattended, businesses remained open and lit, and traffic lights never seemed to change. One very peculiar thing would be the lack of noise. There wasn't even so much as a buzz from the many lights. It was as though the world seemingly came to a halt all together. However, this wasn't meant to last. A soft melody could be heard coming from somewhere far away. Should you choose to follow the sound you'd eventually be greeted by a certain concert hall wherein the sound was coming from. The music continues to play.

The Moonlit Streets of Akihabara

A bank of fog rolls through the ever bright Akihabara as the full moon hangs in the night sky. "Termite, Flea, Louse. Come on out." A voice speaks from inside the fog as it begins to dissipate. Left behind is a man that would be familiar to most, Kalib. Albeit, those who have met him properly could tell something was different this time. As the man emerges, so to do three small black orbs from a dark alley. The orbs had beady red eyes trained on the man before them. "Hey Boss. Sorry 'bout you meetin' us like this. I reckon you'd fancy an explanation... I ain't got one for ya though. We were just up and cast out." The center orb speaks, larger than the other two by a small amount. Kalib would approach the two smaller orbs and place them within his coat before lifting the center orb, bringing it to eye level. "You and the others have grown to an extent Termite. Your circumstances are unfortunate, but we'll find a new host for you. You could be as strong as Hookworm if it weren't for your incompatible partners." The man calmly strokes the orb with his left hand as he makes himself comfortable against a nearby wall.

A Dream Opening

As you go about your daily routine, you are surprised to happen upon an ornate envelope which is signed out to you. Upon opening the envelope you'd be met with beautiful writing dancing across the page and walled by beautiful gold margins. The words would read as follows: "COME ONE AND COME ALL TO THE NEXITE GALA! ALL ARE WELCOME TO THE GRAND OPENING OF THE CHÃ‚TEAU NEXITE! THE NEWEST, BIGGEST, AND MOST LUXURIOUS HOTEL IN THE NEXUS!" At the bottom of the sheet would be the address to the venue and a request that you try your best to look formal. <center>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~</center> To those that decided to check out the event, they would find themselves before a massive structure. Neon lights and signs adorn the some twenty story building, the most notable being the hotel's name written boldly in lights. On the ground level you'd find a red carpet laid out for all the guests to walk up. At the end of the path is a large gentleman in a white suit, standing right before the gold rimmed, glass double doors.

The Sound of Silence

Samuel walks the dimly lit streets of Shibuya. His hands in his pockets and a pair of ear buds placed in his ears. The people who pass him by have small black orbs roll up and into their ears. "Ahhh! This is the life dontcha think? And to think, these sad sacks are just hors d'oeuvres before the main meal! Bahahahaha!" The boy just shrugs as he continues down the road. His expression was a mix of several emotions, but the most notable seemed to be sadness. The boy shakes his head and quickly slaps his cheeks. Redness begins to set in and two hand marks can be seen, but he doesn't care. The boy continues to walk until he finally reaches a large building with several satellite dishes and one massive radio tower.[i] "Well then...let's get back on the airwaves for the last time. DJ Earworm is coming at them live!" [i]The pair walk into the building and make their way to the roof.

Silent Night

The winds begin to whip up as the moon rises into the sky. An already cold night begins to drop further and further into freezing territory as a small boy huddles inside a garbage bin for warmth. The boy, who was clutching the sides of his head while crying in pain, was only five years old. From beyond his hand, a crimson fluid could be seen leaking from his ears. "Where the FUCK did that little shit go?" A voice can be heard from just outside the bin. "I dunno man. But nobody is gonna listen to a shit like him. Let's just go before the fuzz finds us." Another voice appears before the two fade away. That was the last thing he heard. <center>------------</center> "HEY! SAMMY! HELLOOOOOOOO?" A now adolescent boy is roused from sleep by an inner voice. He seemed to be taking a nap out on a hill in Inokashira park. He lazily stretches out and nods. "Well what's shakin' Sammy? Other than you of course." The boy scratches the side of his face and merely shakes his head. "So that's what this is. Well no worries. I told you we'd work together to meet both our goals." The boy sits up with a rather grim expression for a young man, however, he smiles and nods as he looks over the park. The moon looms ominously as it is reflected by the pond.

DESPAIR! ON THE AIR!

The Nexus is settling nicely into it's nightly routines. The wind is still and it's not terribly cold out. All is silent...or so it seemed. "Helloooooooo Nexus! I'm your host Earworm Jim! And this is the Nexite Hot Mix! Sit down, jam out, and relax as I throw you the dopest tracks this side of the multiverse!" A very loud and charismatic voice begins blaring from every set of speakers in the Nexus. "Tonight is a treat from the Angel of Windy City, Wakana Sonozaki! This is her number one hit, Naturally." A soothing tune wafts over the airwaves and sings to the hearts of all who hear it. The tune is simple and easy enough to get stuck in your head, however that might not be the only thing that gets caught in your head. "So it begins. I knew that man was a good candidate." A familiar looking man stands outside of the Nexite FM building. He hums along with the music and does a little dance for good measure. A thick blanket of fog descends upon the area as he dances. "Don't let me down, Earwig." As the man speaks, several small black orbs begin seeping out of the speakers around the Nexus. Slowly but surely, the orbs would find their way into the ears of anyone unfortunate enough to miss them. OOC: For your listening pleasure. https://youtu.be/HaC9CDypIpY
