Inokashira Park
*A lovely park is located around a pond, the pond is quite long, but narrow enough to easily see people on the other side. On a normal day, there'd be quite a crowd as eager vendors attempt to sell their wares to young couples who certainly don't need it. However, tonight is dark and cloudy, the air feels as though it could rain at any moment. A Lavendar-haired young man sits on a bench near the pond's edge. He doesn't seem to notice anyone's passing as he inspects a feather* Strange, isn't it? How often I end up here. Alone as always of course, but here nonetheless.
*The young man briefly looks around, before turning his gaze back to the object in his hand* Much as I may hate to admit it, perhaps our little host was right. My.... Well, I haven't heard from them in a while, the investigator couldn't find my associate, who knows what could have happened? *Gamma grins* Perhaps its finally time for me to take matters into my own hands.
*A man wearing a suit walks into the park and looks around, eyeing the pink haired guy and walking over, speaking in a cheerful tone Ah, the first normal person I've met, can I ask you a couple of questions?
*Gamma doesn't look up at Adachi's arrival, he merely sighs* Knock yourself out. I'm not going anywhere anytime soon. Of course, I offer no promises as to answers *shrug* but you can always ask.
Ah goodie! You seem like a cut above the rest of the people here, my first encounter wasn't exactly the most pleasant... *Adachi then looks at himself and notices the ripped suit, sighing Looks like I'll have to get another, at any rate I wanna ask, where am I? One moment I'm in my room and the next I'm getting attacked by a monster...
*Gamma sighs and casts Adachi a sideways glance* Well, that's actually a complicated question to answer, but I can give working knowledge as far as that's concerned. At the moment, you're in a park in Tokyo, known as Inokashira Park. Its a place known for couples to gather. The park and Tokyo, are in an.... Interesting realm called the Nexus. Here individuals from all sorts of backgrounds, many of which would be considered the stuff of fairy tales. New people and places are being brought in all the time, and they often follow their own sets of rules. That is to say, what applies normally to you, may not apply to them. For example, talking snakes.
T-Tokyo? I thought I was in Inaba... and Nexus? You must be pulling my tail, there's no way this is happening, although, it would explain why he had accesses to it, *Adachi then puts his hand to his head as if he's in deep thought before responding again, So... what kind of fairy tales are we talking about? I kinda figure out what people can do here.
Inaba you say? I think Yu's mentioned there before..... Do you know anything about Personas? It'll be a lot easier if I don't have to give that explanation. *Gamma looks back to the feather in his hand, he turns it over as though it were precious* Well, of course, it varies greatly, but some people are able to mess with time, such as being able to stop it for an extended period. At least, I think that's how it worked. Another was capable of channeling magical energy themselves, and moving between two points without having to go through the space between. Called it "Warping". That's just two examples, there are many more, the general idea is that practically anything can happen.
You know about persona? Sheesh... hopefully nobody knows who I am.. and Yu? He's around here as well? Man this got allot more interesting... at any rate I do know and have a persona, what about you? Is it normal to have one in the Nexus? Man... magic is coming to life...
Yes, I wouldn't worry too much though. It all just adds to the fun, right? *A figure appears from behind a tree. They share Yu's generally look but with black hair and oddly glowing yellow eyes.* There's much fun to be had in this world if you know where to look. Of course, there's always spoil sports but why worry about them? Not like they could do all that much.
Personas are one of the most common incarnations of magical energy, yes. So, of course I have one of my own. Shiranui. *Gamma takes a deep breath, before a small blue flame appears behind Gamma, and it burns a path through the air around him, leaving behind the image of a long, scaly body made of flame After a few loops the flame stops, forming a head and completing the image of an Eastern dragon formed from fire. In a moment, it disappates as Gamma turns his attention back to the feather* As my little demonstration there shows, its not too difficult to summon here, probably something to do with all the energy in the air. Simply requires focus. After a while, it'll become second nature to you.
*Adachi then smiles, pulling up a card of his own in his hands, twirling it You've got that right, it was pretty easy to do it, sounds like I've wound up in a neat little world, oh, I never asked for a name, where are my manners, I'm Adachi Tohru, what about you? *Adachi then sees S.Yu, greeting him with a cheerful tone Hey there! Who are you? You seem kinda... familiar, what's your name?
Name? *Chaos Yu looks puzzled for a moment before smiling back and responding.* You can call me Chaos if that would be satisfactory. Don't take too much meaning out of that, a name is just a name after all, right?
*Gamma glances at Adachi, finally noticing Chaos* You can call me Gamma, and that applies to both of you. That's what I ask to be known as anyways, a lot of people don't seem to respect my request. *shrug* Technically you can call me whatever you want. Depending on the reaction you're looking for.
*Chaos gives Gamma an innocent smile.* Very well, Gamma it is then. I have a good amount of respect for names, usually, that is. Depends on how I feel about you mostly and it would make quite the bad impression to call you something else, wouldn't it?
Chaos huh? That's a strange name, I suppose I won't judge though. You said something about people ruining your fun? I can understand that, its no fun if people don't play by the rules. *Adachi then turns to Gamma, a snarky expression on his face So you wouldn't mind if I called ya Purple hair? That's a lot more interesting than Gamma you know.
*I sit down on a bench tired from the dark hour*
*Gamma sighs and looks out across the pond* It is quite rude, but most people don't seem to care about that Chaos. They'd much rather talk like they're the greatest, purest thing in the world usually. It gets annoying. *Gamma casts Adachi a cold, sideways glance* I would much prefer Gamma *Gamma shrugs and looks back at the feather* But its still far better than pink. If you insist upon calling me Purple hair, I'll at least answer.
*Adachi gets thrown back at the look, feigning looking offended and responds Woah! No need to be so cold! Ill call ya Gamma, I'm just messing with you, honestly your pretty cool. Your the most normal person I've met so far.
Cold you say? Yeah, I get that a lot. Being the most normal person really isn't saying much though. Last I checked there's a cafe full of people who love slinging spells around at random. *shrug* Bunch of idiots they are, but at least it makes them predictable.
Sounds like a handful, I hate people like that, they think they are so high and mighty, with their "bonds", sounds like we will get along quite well Gamma, 2 lone wolf right? We don't need anyone to hold us down.
*Chaos smiles at the two before holding his hands behind his head.* What's so great about a "bond" anyway? True power is something you grasp on your own without anyone's help or approval. That's how people get strong, right?
*Gamma looks back over to Adachi and sighs* You do know what a "lone wolf" means right? It means they very much DON'T want assistance. *shrug* Besides, there's hardly anything special about me. Wouldn't you be better of doing your own thing? And I simply won't bother you. *Gamma looks back at Chaos* Strength is something you can rely upon, something to force the world to acknowledge your presence. Anything you gain from others, such as these bonds they keep babbling about, will be lost just as easily. Thus, by relying on it, you're ultimately leaving yourself more vulnerable.
Heh, maybe you've got that right, but you can't just do everything on your own, even wolves will work in packs if it feeds them, besides its not even bonds that I hate, its that self righteousness, it boils my blood to hear them go on and on about how they are heros and saving the world. You might be right Chaos, but like I said you'll fail if you just rely on your pride, you have to work with people you tolerate
*Gamma briefly considers the feather in his hand.... Before snapping it in two and turning to Adachi* You see, I'll admit. I've tried working with someone before. Then they vanished without a trace. *chuckle* With my luck, the exact same thing'll happen to you. If you really want my help, I'm going to need some reason to believe you'll turn out any different. And a good one at that.
*Chaos sighs before smiling once more.* I honestly don't care much unless no one interrupts my fun. If I have to use a few people to get my way then so be it. Using people is the closest I usually get to working with others though. It's their own fault if they don't think for themselves.
Heh, after my last adventure I've taken a backseat to this whole changing the world thing, its just not worth the effort, if it seems like fun I might help ya out, or I might work against you, at any rate a reason to prove why I'm different? You ever hear of the serial murder case in Inaba? I'm the culprit behind that one, man that was a time... watching the fools do what they think was right, too bad I got caught, it was fun while it lasted though. Well than Chaos same goes to you, if it sounds fun I might join you, or not, I really dont care either way.
*Gamma sighs and looks back across the pond* And here I thought you were offering something. Oh well, you stay out of my way, I'll stay out of yours. Simple enough really. I never really heard of a serial killer in Inaba, subject simply never came up I guess. Not like it matters. I'll probably see what you can do soon enough.
*A short girl was taking a night walk, eyes glued to her phone. She was ready to return home at any time if Hax woke up and needed her for anything... She heard some familiar voices talking and looked up, putting her phone away. She tried not to look at Adachi, as she would look affectionate if she did. By all means, this one didn't know her... She instead focused her gaze on the other two* Ahh, Adachi-san, Yu-kun, Gamma Gammerson! What a DELIGHTFUL night for a walk... What kind of secret meeting have I interrupted here?
Well then sounds like we have reached an understanding, although working with you doesn't sound too bad, better than working with those morons, can't even take a hint, if I see ya in trouble ill lend a hand, you can count on that. *Adachi then lowers his cheerful persona for a second, smiling wickedly at Gamma before returning his idiotical smile, Hehe... this gane might be worth my time afterall.
Oh, Sakaya, how are you? You didn't interrupt anything, just talking about taking over the world! *Adachi says this with a joking tone, the dumb happy look on his face turning to her smiling Ah, I've also been meaning to ask what world you came from, sounds interesting to hear about!
*Chaos winces at the name Yu but tries to maintain his smile despite his frustration coming out through his eyes.* My name isn't Yu and I'd prefer you didn't compare me to washed up heroes. Call me Chaos, since that's my name, yeah, it's my own name.
*Gamma looks back to AdachiImouto and waves with his off-hand, holding the feather's two pieces in his other* Nothing important as far as I'm aware. Pretty much a normal day for me. Well, as normal as this place gets anyways. *Gamma looks between the others* No need to worry about me. I see you have a lot to talk about. I'll give you guys some space. *Gamma stands to walk over to another spot on the pond, a few benches down. Within line of sight, but well out of hearing distance*
Taking over the world? What a wonderful delightful idea! Of course, I expect House Adachi to rule the roost in the vain of the broken brilliance! ... *Sayaka, realizing she said House Adachi in front of alternate Adachi himself, looked away blushing. Sayaka's chuunibyo facade disappears as she begins to speak on her past* Yes... The world where I came from... It wasn't that different from the world you see here, actually. Only, well, I guess things were a little different. Chaos theory and such. I just lived with my parents and my Onii-chan in Hokkaido. My parents weren't exactly nice, and I was bullied at school for being a little, well, odd... But, Onii-chan always made me feel better. Even if he got older and couldn't play with me anymore, he still helped me out... Then while working on the mainland, he got arrested and put in jail... Things got kinda dark after that... I was the sister of a killer on top of everything, and my parents would say I was gonna end up just like him. We had to move a lot because my name became kind of infamous... But I still believed in Onii-chan. I wanted to be PI and follow in his footsteps, get him out of jail... And I did. When we moved to Tokyo, while I was walking outside in the city, I saw this cafe... I wanted tea, so I opened the door. There was a light and, here I am... That was 5 months ago. A lot has happened... *Sayaka smiles fondly. It was now she noticed that this Yu looked kind of different, and raises a brow* Chaos? Aha, that's quite a BROKEN name. I must have mistook you for someone else... *Sayaka nods to Gamma. She felt disappointed a little that the odd nickname didn't bother him*
*walks through the park with a smile on his face. He actually hasn't been this happy in a while!*
House Adachi...? *Adachi then puts his hand to his chin and begins to think deeply, searching thorough the sea of his mind before shrugging Sorry Sakaya, I don't remember anything about that, although if what you say is true your my sister in an alternative world right? Well I can pretend im that person! I can understand how you feel so I'm willing to help you out, Sis, *Adachi then recoils as his mind realises that another Yu must be walking around, face contorting before returning to normal So Yu is here as well? We that's... a thing I suppose, hopefully he won't bother me anymore,
Wow... You're pretty much the same way in this world, Onii-chan. So it shouldn't be hard... Thank you... It's just like old times! *Sayaka almost hugged Adachi, but remembered that for him it would be like getting hugged by a stranger* Yeah... Yu-kun is here... I haven't seen him since a certain incident in the city though. I have no idea what he's thinking.
*Adachi smiles a genuine smile and hugs Sakaya, somewhat awkwardly as he's not used to this but still doing his best Well then looks like I've got someone on my side, ill do my best to help you out, but I'm pretty new to this place so i have no idea how much help I can actually do, at any rate I won't try to cause any more trouble, no promises though! There's no need to worry about him, as long as we keep up good behavior we should be fine, in fact, me and Yu left off on a pretty good note.
*Sayaka gives a rare, vibrant smile and hugs Adachi tightly. She was happy to see him again, or one of him atleast. Her brother really towered over her small frame* Oh, I have an apartment in Shibuya with... someone. *Sayaka decided it best not to bombard him with so many details at once...* I can show you around and help get you used to this place! And you can crash at my place if you want, I really don't mind. Funny story... I actually found out who put you away while I was here, and I almost tried to kill Yu-kun... But, we're friends now! I think.
Hehe, I'm sure I'll find someplace to live got a bit, I don't wanna be a burden to you, wouldn't be very brotherly huh? At any rate I would like a tour sometime, not right now but getting used to this place could help. Eh, Yu and I are on okay terms, I don't blame him for what he did, its only right, maybe me and Yu can be rivals in a more friendly way this time, don't let me drag you down alright?
You don't burden me or bring me down! Don't think that... I wanna pay you back for being so kind to me. It was another you, but you're basically the same. So... Let me help Onii-chan! *Sayaka looks fired up, wearing a mature expression despite her size*
No no, don't worry about it Sis, ill come back to you if i need it, for now I've gotta go and check out something on my own, be good now and don't get into any trouble alright? I'm supposed to do that. *Adachi then gets up and pats Sakaya on the head lightly before walking away, thinking about something
Trouble? I delete trouble! I guess I'll head back to my place then... I'll see you again, Onii-chan! If you're ever in Shibuya, you can come visit! *Sayaka began to make the journey home in high spirits*
