Illusionary Streets
The usual busy streets of Tokyo. People everywhere you looked, all in warm looking coats and such. Snow around.. somehow. But the air felt a bit off... as if the entire crowd was being watched.
(A 7'3 snake centipede hybrid jumps onto building to building, trying not be seen) Well...it was fun while it lasted
*suddenly appears on a rooftop* Ah... it's snowing...well, I suppose it is still winter...
(He accidentally runs into star)...ow
A young man not wearing much other than a pair of jeans, a hoodie, and a light jacket seems to be in a rush but stops abruptly to look around and take in his surroundings. He mutters to himself: Hm... It's snowing a little more than usual today. Kinda refreshing...
Ow. Hey snake guy. So...why did a evil guy come out of you or something?
Oh..ummm...mate I have no clue...but..now I'm this.. So...yep
Well... that's something. Guess that Nyarly guy is still causing trouble. You'd think he'd stop by now, considering how many times he's failed.
Fail?...that's my thing, not his
Really? Huh, wouldn't have guessed. Well, whatever. Point is, he's still around and causing trouble. If you see him, try to call everyone so we can all kick his ass.
Alrighty then mate
"Why yes, fail really is your thing. When, you are the failure...." The two heard those words echo... A man with strange pink hair in a casual winter coat walks towards them... "Tell me... would anyone accept you as a person?"
Eh...? The young man looks up at a faraway roof, seeing the scene unfold at a distance. He can only make out a few words in the conversation, and goes into thought, hoping to deduce something. Nyarly...? Fail...?
Oh fucking 'ell (he looks over at the pink haired guy)...for ya ta think I don't that
Walking down the side walks is a blue haired boy with a black beanie on his head. He's wearing his heavy jacket to stay warm because of the cold weather. "I never knew that it was gonna snow today."
I accept him as a person. So...yeah...
"I mean what do you expect. Your current form is a mistake. Though I'm very sure that you've made many more mistakes other than that." The man chuckles... "In a way.... you are a mistake. The fact you exist is a mistake. Just a big failure like you said."
Yeah mate fuck ya to
...oy...shut up. I've got a new gun, so shut up. Stop being mean, shut up. Just up shut. Wait, shit.
Rom goes closer to the building to attempt to hear more of the conversation. He seems both confused and frustrated. ... ...
"Oh please, you only accept him because you want to feel like you belong somewhere. What's it like being all alone? Or rather... not having any love?" He moves a part of his hair to the side a bit. Something about him... it's off. That small smile on his face... does he enjoy this?
(He puts his snake tail to the pink hairs neck) ya 'bout ta make a mistake to
Jiyu notices Rom trying to get close to the building that the group's on. Getting curious, he walks over to Rom to see what he's trying to do. "Hey, what are you doing? Trying to eavesdrop or something?"
...yeah...no. I already belong here, and as for the love part, I'm already married. *Flips a bird* Where the fuck do these things keep coming from!? And what's you game!?
He turns to Jiyu, pleasantly surprised. You... you're Hatanaka, correct? From that masquerade...?
"Are you now? Tell me, do they love you as much as you love them? I'd assume no.... and game? What game? I just call things as I see it. Though you might hear a bit of screaming in a bit." He deeply sighs
(He then warps his snake tail around kyuubis neck) I've had enough of ya mate
(edited by Reperzel)
Of course they do. And so do my daughters. And my future daughters. It was a weird time, I have three wives, four daughters, and then they came from the future to help me defeat a dragon, and they just kinda stayed and okay I'm getting off track. My adventures were weird, end of story.
The tail... wrapped around nothing? But... he's right in front of them. Unless... "Woah! Someone is angry! Yeesh, trying to hurt what isn't there..."
He immediately turns back to the roof of the building, this time looking more alarmed. That being said, he just waits, gripping the phone on his armband, while he mutters: An... illusion...? No, not again...
What the!?!, oh c'mon!, he got cloning powers!..that's buillshit!
"I think..." Jiyu doesn't have that much memories of the masquerade, so he doesn't know how to respond to Rom's question.
Oh boy. Look, if you're going to start something, let's get it over with.
"Now it'd be great if I could clone myself... but that's simply not the case. But hey, believe whatever you want you freak." The man turns to face a rather large building... "Any minute now..."
Sigh..why should I be mad...I'm used ta this
Sigh, plot convenience could be a real pain sometimes... Rom closes watches, his hand still clenched on the armband.
... seriously, let's get this over with. If you're going to blow something up, then just fucking do it so I can kick your ass.
"As you wish." Right after he muttered those words, the build before him bursts into flames. The crowd around them began to panic, people screaming, running, all the sorts. "Ah.... god I love these sounds..."
So...this is the part where I kick your ass, right? Because if not, I'm going to be kinda disappointed.
HOLY SHIT MATE! THATS...YESH
Upon hearing those first three words, Rom immediately started dashing away from the building, still getting pushed back by the force of the explosion. Why do I feel like I can't trust anything around me anymore?
"Plot convien-" Jiyu's sentence is interrupted by the screams and the building on fire. "W-What the hell?!"
“Man, you guys really hate the air don’t you?” He chuckles once more.
I guess not. Well then, are you at least going to tell me why you're causing trouble?
Rom now seems on edge. He gets back up and instinctively gets closer to Jiyu. He starts mumbling again. That illusion from before... it couldn't have been anything else... I have to be more tactful.
“Just what I do. I love the sounds of people suffering, crying, all that stuff. Just what makes me... Kyuubi.”
Jiyu looks over to Rom confused as ever. "Illusion? What illusion?"
Wow...you're worse then I was
...well then...fuck you.
O-Oh, sorry... Just mumbling to myself. Just something I saw up there. There's this nagging feeling in my brain that something is up...besides the destruction... Rom reaches for his phone's screen but hesitates. He then grins as he looks in Kyuubi's direction. Heh...
“I guess some people don’t appreciate illusions. Oh well...” He faces them once more, still keeping that smile.
No, I don't. Hmm... *Focuses on the illusion, and then where the real Kyuubi is following the trail of energy if it exists.
"Well, it's kinda obvious since that guy up there's smiling at the destruction." Jiyu looks up at Kyuubi with an angered expression on his face.
Well this is happening
Yup, totally knew it... Rom's hand's grip on his armband loosens, and his grin grows. It's almost menacing.
gtg, I may come back,but it'll probsky be done, by
“Though I wish all of it was illusions.” As he said that he pointed a single finger at the two on the rooftop. A long red and black beam fires from his fingertip and strikes the building, destroying the ground they were standing on.
Hey, Hatanaka? He looks at Jiyu straight in the eyes, dead serious. Stay close.
Oh... *Star just floats in the air like the ground is there* So...is that it?
"Why should I stay close?" Jiyu glances over to Rom while looking at the rooftop. "Also, just call me Jiyu."
Very well, Jiyu. Trust me, just stay close. With that, Rom's image flickers for a split second, still looking at Jiyu in the eyes.
“I mean if you want to see more then I can definitely show you more. Maybe break some of your bones but it’s your call.”
Upon seeing Rom's image flicker, Jiyu turns his head to face him once again. "What did you just do?"
(edited by Jiyu-Hatanaka)
... I'm immortal, so...no thanks. So...is that it? That all you're going to do? Just blow something up and then leave?
Do you really have much time to be questioning this right now? Rom seems frustrated towards Jiyu before regaining his composure. OOC: I'll be right back.
(edited by Rom_Dolos)
“Hmm.. well, if you want I could kill off everyone you love. Would that make you happy? Well I know it would make me happy.” His small smile turned into a devilish grin.
... would you please just stop fucking with me? It's getting annoying, and I'm going to find you and kill you if you don't stop with it.
"N-Nevermind..." Jiyu goes back to looking at the rooftop, trying to see what's going on up there now.
"Aww... but is that to say they aren't already dead? That I haven't killed them already? I mean all this time talking... I could've killed them." He began to float casually in the air.
Nah, you couldn't. I know so. How do I know? Because you haven't! Also, I make sure to put in way to much security around them. And the blessings on them. And the enchantment that tells me if they are in danger or not. I'm very paranoid, you see.
"Oh I could. I could make each and every one of them scream as I end them. Like I said, I might've already done it... and I would enjoy every single bit of it. And then I get to look at your face... oh the joy that would bring!"
OOC: I'm back. Rom, presumably, slowly approaches the building, still looking in Kyuubi's direction. ... ... ...
Oh yeah? Well, if you know who they are, then tell me their names! If you can't, then what you're saying is a bluff!
Jiyu follows Rom from behind while looking at the top of the building as well. "...hmph."
"Does the name.... Akira Kurusu ring any bells. From my understanding they were very special to you. How about the name of one Sojiro Sakura? Anyone from your family, I may not personally know them... but now that I do I can track them down."
Well, I seriously doubt that you can. I haven't seen Sojiro in years, and Akira and I...well...I also haven't seen him in years. Hell, I haven't seen anyone in my family for years, besides my wives and children!
"Then how do you truly know they're safe?" He looks at her once more. His face was... different. It was not his own... but Akira's!
Rom puts his fingers into air quotes, letting out a frustrating sigh, after hearing what Star and Kyuubi said. "Death flags..." Next, when he had a clear line of sight towards Kyuubi, Rom's mask appears on him. Only the mask, his outfit remains the same. He then grips his mask tightly, grinning again.
... because they're in a place even I don't know about. Hell, all things considered, they're probably dead by now. That, or very old. Also, that illusion shit? Yeah, next time try someone who's not an immortal goddess of insanity and general chaos. I know all the tricks about fucking with people.
"Do you now? Well I can tell you that Akira is alive... though... not for long now."
Yeah...old age kinda does that to people...so...we done here? I'm getting kinda bored now.
Jiyu stays silent while watching what Rom's doing. "..."
"I suppose.... if you're done trying to track me. It's a useless attempt." He sits upon the rubble of the building. "I did what I wanted. Caused mass panic, and pushed the blame onto someone else... while you're still here... makes me wonder if you're just hiding your pain. Knowing that all your loved ones could possibly be dead."
His grin grows bigger as he tears off his mask. The flames start to disappear, and the building starts assembling itself again. Star can feel the ground come under their feet again, while an empty space is made for Kyuubi's buttocks to sit on. He winks towards Jiyu.
Oh my God, work the fucking gearbox! Look, you did what you wanted, I'm not stopping you from leaving. But for the love of all that me, stop fucking saying you'll kill my family! Seriously, it's starting to get annoying more than anything. It's not even a threat anymore. Just shut up and leave why don't you!?
"Well, I come to see some commotion, and it's yet another villain disturbing the peace! Just like you told me, Yuri~" A two-tailed cat-person practically purrs as they approach everyone. Their eyes shift from yellow to blue as their expression turns to one of mild anger. Enough of that, Panthera. Who are you? What are you doing here?
"What are you planning?" Jiyu smirks a bit at Rom.
"Because I know it angers you. I love the expressions you make when you feel all those negative emotions. It's wonderful!" He floats up a bit. "Though it looks like someone wants to spoil my fun... for that..." With the snap of a finger, many more buildings behind him explode!
He's Kyuubi, and he's here to cause chaos. Kinda stealing my job if he wasn't blowing up people. Oh, and don't bother attacking him, he's just an illusion. As for you, the only emotion I'm showing is complete annoyance from you still here. Seriously. Shut up and leave. I'm tired of you. Otherwise I'm going to go batshit crazy and start blowing things up till I find you and kicking your shit in.
(edited by Starwaddle)
He turns to Jiyu, his grin softening a bit. Who said I was planning anything? As the explosions clear up, it is revealed that the building he had previously destroyed always was destroyed, as well as two buildings Kyuubi intended to explode were not even being there at all. I expected him to be a little smarter.
Ooc: Brb, I gotta eat dinner.
The cat-person's eyes turn yellow as "Panthera" takes over once more. "An illusion? Looks like we'll have to find the source. But my, Yuri, the Nexus has so many chaotic people. Good thing we'll be giving my power to someone who can maintain order~" They close their eyes, trying to listen for wherever this illusion's creator could be. A few footsteps or something would do.
"Oh really now? Does my existence annoy you so?" His grin only grew. "That just makes me want to stay even more! By god you're just so much fun!"
... Nothing. No sounds. It's like he previously mentioned, it's a useless attempt. But he's an illusion... or so he says.
... *Explosions ring out all around Star as she gets pissed off* That's it, I'm done! It's time to do my fucking job and bring back the fucking order to this place! I'm the fucking peacekeeper around here, and you're going to fucking die when I find you! *Star flys all around the city at breakneck speeds, looking for whoever could be the illusion maker*
"Heh... I made her really mad. Man, that was fun!" He floats up horizontally. "Ah.... what a wonderful feeling..."
*flys back where she started* Fuck this. Either you have way too much range on you, or you're the real deal. Which means... *Suddenly, Kyuubi is surrounded by knives* Heh. Die. *The knives shoot out towards him*
(edited by Starwaddle)
"Hm. So an entity that, for lack of a better term, gets off on annoying people. Interesting." Panthera laughs, then slowly walks towards Kyuubi. "Are you an illusion? Is this all an illusion? There's no way to know, since we can't trust you. Therefore, we're in a state of uncertainty, but you force us to believe one or the other."
"Hmm, well he doesn't really seem that smart anyway..." Jiyu looks back up at the roof.
Surprisingly, each and every knife went right into his body! Blood began to pour from all the points he was stabbed. "G.... God.... you... you...." He falls to the ground, unable to speak anymore...
Jeez, all of this illusion stuff is getting to my head... literally. Soon enough, I'm gonna have to fake my own death if this gets out of hand... Wait, what if everything that has happened, even the snow, is fake...? All of the destruction? I feel like this guy's injury is fake as well. Rom chuckles at Jiyu's remark. I think it's about time I stop my own illusions. There seems to be nothing I can do for now.
(edited by Rom_Dolos)
...did I mention I could also fuck with time? Yeah...fuck you. Seriously, you went way too far there. Learn from your actions. Oh, and that won't kill you...but damn if it'll leave a mark.
Though.... everything around then began to distort. Not just around Star but everyone who saw Kyuubi. The distortion fades, all of them were in the middle of the street. Many people surrounded them, absolutely scared... looking back at the body of Kyuubi... it wasn't him... it was a bystander.
"Hm. So he's dead. Maybe." Panthera kicks Kyuubi's "dead" body, trying to see if it's another illusion. "So, Yuri, what were you saying about Kyuubi? Something about a fox...? Ah. Japanese mythology. So this guy is a trickster like a kitsune..." The change from gold to blue is immediate. "Yuri" steps back, shooting Star a death glare. You idiot! You played right into his trap!
(edited by Yuri-Nosneko)
...oh God damnit. Fuck this, I'm leaving. And I'm taking my knives. Fucking bitch. *Star suddenly disappears, along with her knives, after tossing a health potion into the air. It heals the bystander completely*
That was way too conveniently timed... Rom stares at the body and breaks off into the terrified crowd, waiting for Jiyu to follow.
"This guy is insane..." Jiyu follows Rom once more into the crowd.
Of course, police arrived at the scene. Everything that happened... was it all just a trick? But then... that same man with the pink hair floats back down... but no one from the crowd noticed him. Not even the police... but those with powers could. "Now that... that was easy."
He simply stares at the man with a deadpan expression. After a while, he lets out a small chuckle. I give up.
A two-tailed silver house cat exits the scene. Despite the flickering colors in its eyes, it still moves steadily away from everything.
*Sigh* "I didn't really do much with this guy, but I give up too..." Jiyu walks away from the scene with his hands in his pockets.
