Just another day in Paradise
(You enter a dimly lit and particularly blank room. There are no signs of an individual touch save for some video game guidebooks. At the center of the room lies a familiar laptop on the floor. The screen of the laptop appears to be dimly lit and on it there is a prompt.)

Do you wish to enter the reality store?

>Maybe

>No
Ene
*She is turned away from the entrance*

*Is currently playing on her ds*
Izaya_Kuro
Hello
HibkiKuze
*pushes maybe*
I got nothing better to do
Ene
*Slightly moves her arm to show that she is aware of Izaya's presence*

*Continues to play on her ds*

Hello.

What do you want today customer?
Ene
(Hibki arrives inside the reality store after pushing maybe.)
HibkiKuze
What do you sell? I don't see any products
Bgammax
*walks into the store*

I'm gonna have to deal with this sometime, though the buttons seem to have changed.

*pushes >Maybe*
Anna
Hmm... What is this?

*Pushes >Maybe*
Tatsuya
*Walks in and pushes maybe* Oh hello Ene how's it going?
Ene
I sell the experience of seeing any environment of your choosing in 4d.

It's an immersive experience quite similar to playing video games.
HibkiKuze
4d is that like virtual reality?
Ene
*Notices the arrival of many people*

*Finally puts down her ds and looks down at the floor*

Welcome to my store.

*Gazes up at Tatsuya*

Things are good enough.
Bgammax
*looks around for Ene*

Shouldn't miss perfect be around here? I mean, this is her store after all.
Ene
*Tries to suppress an eye roll at Hibki's question*

Yes 4d is basically virtual reality but with a sense encompassing experience added in.
Tatsuya
That is Ene Gamma. Shit happened she looks like that and lost her memory. And eh what the hell there's somewhere I'd kinda like to see. An old shrine I used to play at as a kid.
Ene
*Gazes at Gamma*

This is my store.

When you say miss perfect you are likely referring to how I used to be.
HibkiKuze
Cool. I think I'll check this out some other time i need to go I'll be back tomorrow though.
*exits*
Ene
*Takes out a notepad*

*Looks at Tatsuya with interest*

Do you mind providing me some more details of the location you wish to see?

Bgammax
Lost her memory eh? I guess that makes this easier for me then. I think I'll just sit back and watch the show.
Kirusu
>Maybe *Push*
Ene
*Gives Gamma an unreadable expression*

I sense that you and me had some sort of history together.

Not that it matters at this point.
Ene
*Watches Kirusu enter*

Welcome back Kirusu.
Kirusu
Heyo, how's it hangin'
Ene
Things are good Kirusu.

*Tosses him back his headphones*

I have now managed to regain my former collection of video games.
Bgammax
Yeah, it really doesn't matter.

Anyways, anyone here feel like asking for something?
Tatsuya
OOC: Sorry I'm doing a lot right now.

Yeah sure I can do that. *He proceeds to describe Alaya Shrine from Persona 2.*

OOC: Just roll with it, sorry if you wanted actual details but It's been years since I played P2.
Ene
*Thinks on the description*

I think I understand what you want.

*Quietly snaps her fingers*

(The shop instantly becomes an open area covered with trees of the same variety. The people within the shop now stand on a concrete path leading up to a traditional Japanese shrine. The shrine's entrance is covered in a variety of talismans and the building itself appears to be in good condition. Behind the group lies a red arch covered in similar talismans.)

OOC: It's fine Tatsu.
Bgammax
And so the show begins
Ene
*Stands a bit away from the group*

*Gazes at the talismans*

*Mutters*

It's been a while since I have seen shrine.
Ene
*Nervously glances at Tatsuya*

This is what you wanted right!?
Tatsuya
*He looks over at her and smiles* Yeah this is the place... It's been ages since I've seen it but I remember. *He speaks softly* to bad it burned down.
Ene
*Looks alarmed*

Wait it burned down!

*Readies her fingers*

Should I account for that event?
Tatsuya
*He shakes his head* No I'd rather not see that... It almost got someone important to me killed Ene.
Ene
Oh ...

*Bows her head*

Then I am sorry for bringing up something painful.

*Her hands twitch*

Do you wish to talk about it?
Tatsuya
*He grins at her* Well it happened a long time ago Ene. And she's alright now so I'm doing okay these days.
Ene
Then if you have things figured out why did you want to see this place?

*Looks down*

Isn't it just a burden to bring up the past.
Ene
(A cold wind passes through the shrine as if responding to Ene's question.)
Tatsuya
*He shakes his head* No I wanted to see this place because a lot of good things happened to. *He points to a clearing* My friends and I always used to hang out here.

Sometimes I miss those days when it was simple. No gods or demons no magic, just being normal... *He shakes his head* But in the end those days are long gone. Still it's nice to remember sometimes.
Ene
*Follows Tatsuya's point*

*The wind blows her hair*

Friends huh.

Must have been nice being close to people.

*Sighs*

I don't see the appeal of being normal.

But if that's what you want to remember then go ahead.
Bgammax
*laughs*
Yeah, being close is nice for a while, but well, we're here for Tatsuya, not for me.
Ene
*Gazes at Gamma*

Why are you trying so hard to be mysterious?

Bgammax
You're going to have to be more specific than that. I'm simply saying what I think. One day his value of bonds is going to bite him. And I'll be glad to watch it.
Ene
*Continues to stare at Gamma*

I have finally remembered what you remind me of...

*Points at him*

You resemble the anti-hero that often appears late in a video game through all those mysterious lines of yours.
Tatsuya
*He laughs* To be frank Ene I don't really see that much of it either... In spite of everything I've been through the things I've seen and done made me who I am, the thought of being normal now is awful. But those days were worth something nonetheless.
Bgammax
..... Sometimes I'm ashamed to know you people.
Ene
I can sort of agree with you on that.

Save for one thing!

*Looks away from Tatsuya and instead gazes at the shrine*

I refuse to believe that the past can continue to hold weight in the future.

Just like in any game the past becomes obsolete once you move on.
Ene
*Tilts her head at Gamma*

What did I say to make you feel ashamed?

You should be proud of your hard earned anti-hero status.

Tatsuya
*He laughs* The past makes us who we are in the future though. if those things I've seen were different I'd be different. Still there's no sense living in the past, even though it still matters I can't change it.
Ene
You sure are a strange one ...

*Gives Tatsuya a blank look*

Wait what was your name again?

Tatsuya
Tatsuya Suou demon hunter Persona user and as of now cut rate mage! *He bows* Anyways I'm ready to head back now.
Ene
Dang your really have a long title Tatsuya.

*Bows back*

It is a pleasure to formally meet you.

*Snaps her fingers*

(The shrine fades leaving behind the shop)
Ene
*She instantly falls asleep upon arrival*
Tatsuya
*He laughs* Well I normally don't even use it. Just want to try being dramatic for a change.
Ene
*Her soft snores seem to fill the shop*

*The lights dim*

*It appears she will be asleep for a while*
Bgammax
Oh well, I guess the show's over.

*exits the shop*
Tatsuya
*He walks out*
Kirusu
Guess I'll head to LeBlanc
Ene
*Wakes up*

*Looks around*

Hmm my shop is empty today.

*Starts to play on her ds*
Cait_Sith
Nya! This is an interesting place...
Ene
*Gives Cait a sidelook*

Welcome to my shop.

If you want to request anything then go ahead.
Cait_Sith
Hm... What do ya sell here?
Ene
Here I sell you the experience of being in an environment that you are familiar with.

*She snaps her fingers*

(The store instantly turns into a quiet beach)

*She runs her hand through the sand*

Like this.
Cait_Sith
Ooh... Hm, can you take me to the "environment" of the demon world? Been a bit homesick lately...
Ene
I can easily do that.

*Pulls out a notepad*

All I need is some basic information on the location you want.

*Laughs a bit*

Contrary to what people think I am not a mind reader.
Cait_Sith
Let's see... It kinda varies from place to place, but I'm familiar with the more civilized areas. Sure, there are the typical fiery wasteland areas, but there's also bustling cities with demons of all types. There's even a bunch of stores in some places... not different from the human world in some aspects.
Ene
I think I know what you want.

*She snaps her fingers*

(The ceiling of the shop dissapears revealing a light red sky with a tinged blue sun. Buildings begin to sprout around the group as the ground itself turns into pavement. A few stores pop up with the most peculiar of names and strange winged creatures can be seen in the sky. Red cracks can be seen throughout the area but they appear to be harmless.)
Ene
*Lightly taps her foot against a crack*

*Instantly pulls it back*

Ouch that is hot!

*Stares at the crack with fascination*

Just what exactly is that thing?
Cait_Sith
*smiles* Ah, home sweet home... Just how I remember it! There's even that store run by that Mothman over there!
Cait_Sith
Oh, don't step on those! They're all over the place, but they burn your feet. Even boots don't help much.
Ene
*Looks around*

Well your home appears to be interesting.

*Considers Cait's words*

*Looks surprised*

W-Wait did you say mothman!?
Cait_Sith
Yep! A Mothman runs that shop over there! *points to a shop just down the street* Nice guy. A bit loud and awkward, but has a big heart.
Ene
I thought that mothman was just a myth ...

*Looks down at a crack*

And what exactly are these things?

*Points at the crack*
Cait_Sith
These? Not entirely sure. Doubt they're lava, so maybe demonic energy? Dunno. I just know to stay away from 'em.
Ene
*Nervously sweats*

Nothing will happen to me right?

I mean I touched a crack and all...
Cait_Sith
I dunno. Never seen a non-demon in the demon world, but you should be fine. I think.

Anyway, besides the cracks, the demon world's pretty neat! Sure, there's a few powerful boss demons, but there's nice places and nice demons if ya know where to look.
Ene
That's not very comforting ...

*Looks around*

If the demon world is so nice then why did you leave it?
Cait_Sith
I was kinda curious about the human world. I'd only heard stories from demons who had visited it during the Tokyo Lockdown... But I mostly ended up in the human world because of this "Nexus" stuff. It hasn't been a bad stay, though! I've met new people, fought Shadows, joined a group.... Kind of exciting, to be honest.
Ene
The nexus is pretty exciting.

*Thinks*

I don't remember how I got here though...

*Tries to change the topic*

*Points up at the sky*

Why is the sky so red?

Hillock
*Enters*
Hi!
Ene
*Waves*

Hey Hillock.

Welcome to the demon world.
Cait_Sith
Oh, that? That's just normal for this place. I could be asking the same thing about why your sky's so blue. Might be another demon energy thing, though. After all, when the barrier between the human and demon world weakened, the human world's sky turned red! Or so I've heard.
Hillock
Uh? Demon world?
*Tilts his head in confusion*
Ene
Wait the sky in the human world turned red at some point?

*Pouts*

I must have missed out on that.

*Looks at Hillock*

Haven't you noticed your surroundings yet.
Ene
(A strange jingle can suddenly be heard nearby.)
Cait_Sith
*ears twitch* Hm? What was that?
Ene
*Gives Cait a deadpan look*

Aren't you supposed to know?

This is your world after all.
Ene
(The jingle only appears to grow louder as time passes)

*Her eye twitches*

Okay this is getting annoying.

*Runs toward the noise*

I'm going to check out where this is coming from.
Cait_Sith
Ah, sorry. I just was surprised.
Cait_Sith
*runs after her towards the jingle*
Ene
(When the two arrive at the source of the noise they see a white van. On it's side the van has the words contract shop printed on it. The van appears to be unmanned and the jingle continues to play from a set of speakers on it.)
Ene
*Looks at the van suspicion*

Well this is not creepy in the slightest.
Hillock
*follows them*
Woawoa wait: white van? Hah, no thanks
Cait_Sith
Kinda ominous, nya. But it might be for contracts... or to kidnap people. But don't white vans use candy to kidnap people? It's probably just contracts, then.
Ene
Are weird vans a normal thing in this world or is this something else?
Cait_Sith
I don't see many cars in this world, so this is relatively odd. Everyone usually flies around or something.
Hillock
Well, I'm not falling for it.
Ene
*Her eyes sprkle*

By contracts do you mean demonic ones?

Like the kind of stuff you do in your standard rpg game.

Hillock
Probably
Ene
*Grows determined*

Well i'm in!

*Runs up to the white van and taps it*

Time for me to get myself a demon!
Cait_Sith
Yep, demonic ones! If there's one thing demons do, it's make contracts. Ya need to bribe them with Macca and stuff, though. Some of us ain't cheap.
Hillock
*prepares his Tazer, just in case*
Ene
(At Ene's tap the jingle suddenly stops playing and the area is filled with a strange silence. The van suddenly turns black in color and a pentagram begins to form beneath it.)

*Jumps back in surprise*

Well that was something.
Hillock
*Prepares for anything*
Cait_Sith
*blinks* Well, can't say I'm too surprised. This is more like regular stores here.
Ene
(Once the pentagram is finished a giant serpent rises from the ground and wraps itself around the van. It turns to gaze at the group with amber eyes.)

Serpent: Who has come seeking service from my store?
Ene
*Looks at Cait with surprise*

Wait so all of the stores around here are like this?
Cait_Sith
Quite a few. Mostly because some demons like to mess with special effects. Dunno why. Same service either way.
Hillock
*stares the serpent with caution, and starts grabing his light saber, but keeps it inside his pocket*
Ene
(The serpent glares at Cait.)

Serpent: These are not just simple special effects! They are a show of my great power!

(The serpent then flicks it's tongue at Hillock.)

Serpent: I can see your weapons idiot. Do you really think you could beat me with such toys.
Ene
Hey giant snake what do you sell in your shop?
Cait_Sith
A-ah, right. Sorry. Anyway, you two may wanna be polite.
Hillock
Tch, you dont know me.
But...
*relaxes*
You dont seem hostile, for now...
Ene
(The serpent shifts a bit to reveal his shop logo.)

Serpent: I sell demonic contracts with lesser demons. You just tell me what kind of demon you want and i won't fail to deliver.

(The serpent then presents it's fangs to Hillock.)

Serpent: Boy you seriously don't want to fight me.
Hillock
I never said nothing about fighting...
*bows* I am sorry, my job makes me wary of everithing.
Starwaddle
*suddenly appears wearing a kimono-yukata hybrid and with star hair clips in her hair* hey guys.
Ene
Having a demon would be pretty nice ...

But what are the requirements for taking care of a demon?

Ene
Hey Star.

*Notices her manner of dress*

What exactly are you wearing?
Hillock
Star.
Why are you wearing that?
Cait_Sith
*waves* Oh, hi Star! Welcome to the demon world!
Starwaddle
A kimono-yukata hybrid. I made it myself. There's a fireworks festival going on, and considering I made it snow not to long ago...
Ene
Wait Star you can change the weather?

(The serpent begins to grow annoyed at the group.)

Serpent: Mortals how dare you! I just showed you my magnificent shop and you choose to ignore me!

(The serpent does the snake equivalent of a pout.)
Hillock
(K-Kawaii?)
*Bows* I am sorry, that wasn´t my intention.
Starwaddle
Yeah. I have the power to bend reality. I may not be able to use it as much as before, but it's enough for what I need.
Cait_Sith
Ah, I apologize. These people are not used to this world. So, I'd recommend something simple... Ene, I suggest you try a Kabuso. It's not powerful, but a good demon for beginners.
Ene
*Glares at Cait*

So are you saying i'm a newbie...

*Points at Cait*

I'll have you know that I got up to max level on demon quest!
Ene
(The serpent continues to pout.)

Serpent: It's fine ... Not like I wasted some time or effort for the of your group.

(The serpent begins to mutter.)

Serpent: Humans always have to ruin my fun.
Cait_Sith
*sighs and shakes his head* Fine. Then get a Mothman or something. Those are always good demons. Just decide before this guy gets too fed up.
Ene
*Walks up to the van*

Excuse me snake guy.

*She taps on the van*

Can I get a Mothman as my new demonic partner?
Ene
(The serpent begins to laugh.)

Serpent: You my friend are unable to get a demon just like most of your friends over there.

(The serpent stares at the group.)

Serpent: In fact the only one able to get a demon in your group is the cat eared guy.
Cait_Sith
*nods* Oh yeah. Nearly forgot about stuff like COMPs. There's requirements for getting demons, I guess... I suppose there's still stuff I need to learn about human-demon contracts.
Hillock
Uh? Me?
Hillock
But I don't own a COMP.
In fact, I already have Personas
Ene
Well that sucks.

*Looks at Hillock*

Why don't you get a demon then?
Hillock
Because I already have two Personas
Ene
(The serpent starts to laugh.)

Serpent: Foolish mortals there are other ways to contract a demon outside of the technological realm. You could just try to do it the traditional way through pentagrams or blood rituals.

(The Serpent gazes at Hillock.)

Serpent: You my friend are the only complete creature here allowing for you to take control of an extra soul.
Ene
*Gasps*

Wait I thought everyone was only capable of one persona!

Does this mean you have multiple personalities Hillock?
Cait_Sith
Yeah, I know that. Those rituals take up a lot of energy, though, or so I've heard.
Ene
Serpent: Those rituals do take up a lot of energy but they allow for anyone to contract a demon.
Hillock
Hm... interesting...
*Thinks a long time*
... Is Nekomata available?
Hillock
@Ene indeed. But it seems I my limit is only two. Probably because my arcana tends to switch.
Ene
Serpent: Nekomata is available but the summoning will cost you.

(The serpent's eyes take on a greedy glint.)

Serpent: I expect to be paid in gold or other valuable minerals.
Hillock
Hm... I have this...
*Shows Magitek object*
Not sure what it does. I was hopping to use it for my gadgets...
If this is not enough, I have plenty of gold here.
Ene
(The serpent launches forward and grabs the magitek with it's fangs.)

Serpent: This will suffice.

(The pentagram underneath the shop begins to glow blinding the group.)
Ene
*Covers her eyes*

I can't see anything!
Cait_Sith
*raises cape to block out the light* Nya!
Hillock
*Covers with his arm*
*His denim jacket starts blowing in an epic way*
*Clichés intensifies*
Ene
(Once the light fades there is a cat woman in front of the group. She is bound by golden chains and is unable to speak.)

Serpent: Now make her yours mortal!
Ene
*Gazes at nekomata with interest*

So thats what a demon look like.
Bgammax
OOC: ooooh, kinky.
Ene
OOC: Really didn't thinking of the implications of this.
Hillock
*Hillock gets near the Nekomata. He looks at her, as he doesn´t know what to do exactly*
*... He starts petting her*
Ene
(The Nekomata looks pleased with the pet and starts petting Hill back. She begins to fade as the petting session continues.)

(The serpent laughs.)

Serpent: Well thats one way to form a contract.
Hillock
*Hillock blushes when Nekomata pets her. She disappears, and Hillock looks at the Serpent with determination*
Thank you. *Bows*
*Returns to the group*
Starwaddle
Huh...neat... anything that I can make a contract with?
Ene
Looks like times up for this place.

*She snaps her fingers*

(The demon world fades away revealing her shop again.)
Starwaddle
Aww...oh well, I still have Judgement.
Ene
*Lays down on her couch*

*Pouts*

I really wanted a demon...
Hillock
*Makes sure Nekomata is still within him*
*Sighs in relief*
Well, now I have two Personas and a demon. That´s cool!
Starwaddle
Yeah, you and me both...oh well, I have Judgement as a demon weapon...I guess...it just doesn't feel the same...
Bgammax
*walks into the shop again*

Alright, well. I know how this goes by now.

*pushes the button and materializes in the room*
Ene
All I have are my shock hands and weird teleportation abilities.

*Sighs*

So lame...
Ene
*Waves at Gamma*

Hello anti-hero.
Bgammax
*sighs*

great, first Tsundere, then pinky, and now anti-hero. Can anyone actually call me by my name?
Ene
*looks around*

Anyone else got a request in mind?
Ene
*Tilts her head*

But anti-hero is such a cool name.

I don't know why you would prefer your actual name over that.
Cait_Sith
Oh yeah, nearly forgot! Here's my payment! *hands over both some Yen and some Macca*
Bgammax
I'm afraid I don't have the time to stop by for a full request, so I'll simply watch again. I trust someone else has something though.
Hillock
Sorry, but I have to go: Duty calls. It was a pleasure, @Ene-chan.
*Leaves*
Ene
*Accepts the cash*

Thank you for the payment Cait.

I hope you enjoyed the experience.
Bgammax
*turns away so Ene can't see him blush*
You.... think I'm cool?
Well, Anti-hero is certainly a better name than Pinky.
Starwaddle
Well, I guess a trip back to the main ship would be nice... You should have it in your database I think.
Ene
*Gives Gamma a deadpan look*

Well yeah you walk in and spout such cold lines. If thats not being cool then I don't know what is.

*Snaps her fingers*

(Just like last time the shop instantly gives way to the vastness of space. The ground turns into hard metal and many metallic buildings rise as if attempting to touch the stars. Among these building lie a few traditional structures but they are very few and far in between. Mechanical noises can be heard from beneath the ship and the air is surprisingly clean.)
Starwaddle
Ahh...the main ship... it's good to be back here again...I still need to look for one of the side ships...
Ene
Your just lucky that my system still had this location.

*She leans against a building*

I don't remember ever being here.
Ene
So are we going to look for the side ships or what?
Bgammax
T.... Thanks, Ene. I guess.

*looks around at the buildings*

This is like something out of science fiction. Though usually its owned by an evil emperor and not, well. Star
Starwaddle
Oh, those? They won't be around here. I was talking more about how one might have made it into the Nexus somehow.
Ene
This place does remind me of that one movie with the evil emperor and his death ship.
Starwaddle
Oh, that? Pfft, that's nothing! But I will admit, the design was oddly similar to it... nevermind​ that. Still, we had quite the discussion here once...
Ene
Hey Star!

*Gives her a curious glance*

Could you possibly be an evil emperor?
Bgammax
*thinks for a moment*

I mean, she did blow up a tower, with several people still ON IT. And then she caused a large snow storm for her enjoyment. It is starting to get a bit suspicious
Ene
*Smirks*

Careful anti-hero any second now and you might force her to reveal her true self.

I don't want to fight a boss right now.
Starwaddle
What? Oh no, I would never. I'm much to kindhearted to be truly evil...ah, I've started speaking like a goddess again. I really should learn how to control my manner of speaking...but yes, I will admit that I have done many things that could be considered evil, however, I made sure that the laser would not kill anybody, and the snowstorm was something that I thought would make everyone a bit happier. It's not every day that you play in the snow in June...
Bgammax
*grins at Ene*
What, you don't think I could take it? You shouldn't have to lift a finger.

Also Star, people were driving to their jobs. I think you buried one of them. The intent may have been good, but you do NOT think things through. At least make it less sudden next time.
Tatsuya
*He walks in and looks around at the buildings* Huh neat place, kinda looks like Star Wars or something. Anyways what's up?
Ene
Well for a goddess you are kind of nice star.

*Makes a face*

Unlike some other people I know.

Tatsuya
*he overhears Gamma* Aw come on it's the Nexus man. At this point I'm pretty sure even the normals are jaded to the supernatural.
Starwaddle
Ah... hehehe...I should really learn some self control...and hello Tatsuya, this is a recreation of my main ship.
Ene
*looks at Gamma withs suspicion*

You may be the cool anti-hero type but I highly doubt that you can take down a boss on your own.

You will probably need my assistance within an hour of the fight.
Akamoto_Nanaka
*Nervously enters*
Can I come in?
Tatsuya
I can't disagree about self control Star but I doubt anyone​ got hurt yesterday... Except for Rando of course. And yeah I figured, pretty cool place too.
Ene
*Gives a small wave*

Hello Tatsuya.
Bgammax
Tatsu, there's a difference between stuff that can be ignored, and stuff that literally ruins your life.

*laughs at Ene*
Any real fight will be over well before an hour passes, though its not like they'd put up much of a fight to begin with.
Operative_Fuze
>Enteres

...this looks like something Twitch and I.Q. woukd do...
Starwaddle
I really should try to look and see if one of the side ships have made it to the Nexus...ah, but where are my manners. Would everyone like some tea? I have a special brew in mind for everyone.
Ene
*Tilts her head*

Oh and why would a boss not put up a fight?
Tatsuya
Sure Nanaka why not? If I can have a peaceful talk with Nyarly I can sure as hell do it with you.

Hey not any fight will end that fast. Shinji and I fought for 3 once and only got 3 hits between us. And how's it going Ene?
Bgammax
*stands proudly*

To put it in game terms, I'm WAY overleveled. We're talking "solo a 25 man raid" overleveled.
Akamoto_Nanaka
*walks in and sits down*
Operative_Fuze
*walks up to Ene*

Did you set this up?
Tatsuya
*he chuckles at that* So if you're that overleveled what am I? And how've you been doing Nanaka?
Ene
Things are going well enough Tatsu.

Found out from some sort of snake that I'm apparently not a complete person.

*Shrugs*

Didn't know what he meant though.

*Raises an eyebrow at Gamma*

Yeah right and I'm the queen of Valhalla.
Tatsuya
An actual snake or a guy named Hazama?
Akamoto_Nanaka
Uh.....

*looks away*

I'm fine....
Ene
*Gives a small wave to Nana*

I don't think I met you yet.

*Looks at Fuze*

Yep I set all of this up.

*Stands up a little bit straighter*

What of it?
Starwaddle
Umm... excuse me? I believe I asked if everyone wanted some tea?
Akamoto_Nanaka
Nanaka, Nice to meet you....
*gives a short bow*
Ene
*Faces Tatsuya*

An actual snake in my replica demon world.

*Motions to star*

Can I have some tea?
Tatsuya
*he grins at Nanaka​* Geez I know you don't normally deal with me well but this is stiffer than normal. What's up Nana?
Tatsuya
Huh demon world? I shoulda been there it's right up my alley!
Akamoto_Nanaka
I'll take some tea if you're offering...
Tatsuya
Oh and I'm good Star not much of a tea person.
Akamoto_Nanaka
*looks down*
Nothings wrong.... I'm just fine...
Starwaddle
Splendid! I shall begin preparing it at once! *Starts brewing some tea*
Ene
The demon world wasn't that interesting.

*Taps on the steel ground*

If anything this ship is more exciting.
Operative_Fuze
Well then time to take a walk in the virtual space... thought IQ and Twitch were the only tech heads like me and Jaeger.
Tatsuya
Nanaka​ I'm bad with people not a total idiot, if you don't want to tell me I get that but please don't lie.

And I'm always happy to help you out so long as it does help your boss you know that right?
Akamoto_Nanaka
*she jumps after hearing the word Boss*
Ene
*Grows bored*

Hey Star is there anything to do on your ship?
Bgammax
*sighs*
Whatever you say Ene.

Also sure Star, I'll take some tea.
Akamoto_Nanaka
Actually.... I don't really work for him anymore.....
Starwaddle
Ah, it's done! *Gives Nanaka and @Ene teacups with tea* it's a special blend I learned how to make during my time as a true goddess, not as the lesser goddess you currently know.
Akamoto_Nanaka
Thank you...
*sips tea*
Tatsuya
*he grins at her* I'm glad to hear that! And if you think he's sending someone after you you know where to find us Nanaka. Like I said before kid my doors are open if need help.
Starwaddle
Ah, well...there are a few attractions. For one, there is the game room. Come, I will show you all where it is. *Leads everyone to the game room*
Ene
*Looks down*

Hey anti-hero did I manage to piss you off?

*Mutters*

Great I'm still bad with people.

*Silently accepts the tea and takes a sip from it*
-Reaper-
"enters" Hey everyone
Tatsuya
Don't worry Ene almost everyone​ pisses off Gamma. He's kind of a dick to be honest.
Ene
(The group is led to a massive room filled with state of the art games. There is even a prize corner in the very back of the room.)
Akamoto_Nanaka
...........

*she seems to be lost in thought*
Starwaddle
Here we are. This room was made to house the many ways of entertainment I have experienced over the years. Please enjoy!
-Reaper-
Is this a game room?
Ene
Hmm so anti-hero is a jerk ...

*Gets distracted by the games*

*Her eyes sparkle*

Wow this is amazing!

*She runs to the nearest game and begins intensely playing it*
Bgammax
*turns to Ene*
Its not that. I just.... Whatever.

*glares at Tatsuya*
I really don't need your two cents right now.
-Reaper-
Hi Nanaka....
Tatsuya
I'm just calling it like it is Gamma. And you never need them isn't that right?
Starwaddle
There's also a wide assortment of video games in the room right next to us. Ah, my goddess way of speech is really seeping out today. I just don't know what comes over me sometimes!
Akamoto_Nanaka
Oh.... Hi Shin-kun....
*sips tea and gets lost in thought again*
-Reaper-
Whats wrong?
Akamoto_Nanaka
Nothing.... Nothing at all.....
-Reaper-
Are you sure?
Bgammax
On that subject Tatsu, how's your friendship with Maya coming along? I know she's been around before. But I can't seem to find her.
Akamoto_Nanaka
Yea.... Thanks though....
-Reaper-
You know you can tell me everything...
Akamoto_Nanaka
I know....
Tatsuya
*he blushes* It's uh not really a friendship anymore... Though I haven't​seen her in a while it went on a good note.
Ene
*Quickly moves over to the next game once she wins*

*Starts furiously tapping away at the game*

*Her eyes glow a bit*

-Reaper-
What are you drinking?
Akamoto_Nanaka
Tea, Star made it.
Bgammax
*smirks*
Yep, that's how it goes. They give you hope and then just up and leave.
-Reaper-
That's good
Starwaddle
It's a special blend. I could teach it if you want?
Tatsuya
*he laughs* Whatever​ you say Gamma. No I'm sure she'll be back.
Bgammax
*sighs*
You really are hopeless man. Though, I guess you don't really need hope much.
-Reaper-
hmm...
Ene
*Her focus on the game increases by the minute*

There is no way that Takane will lose!

(As if responding to her determination an increase in energy can be felt throughout the simulation.)
Tatsuya
Hopeless? No you're the hopeless one Gamma this is hope ya jackass.
Bgammax
I have better things to do than continue this useless conversation. See you around I guess.

*walks over to the games near Ene, and simply watches her*
-Reaper-
Maybe i check out these games
Ene
*Feels Gamma's presence*

*Tries to ignore it*

Time to die!

*She is trying her hardest to win*
HibkiKuze
*Walks in* hmm interesting. Whose environment is this?
-Reaper-
Uh Nana...
Starwaddle
Ah, this would be mine.
Bgammax
*waves to Hibiki*

Hey kid. This is Star's idea. Seems like a pretty nice place to be.
HibkiKuze
Yeah anyplace with video games is good enough for me
Ene
*She makes a sudden move and hits Gamma with her elbow*

Anti-hero you should move out of the way!

In this war there may be casualties!
HibkiKuze
*Waves back* Wow Star this is impressive. Mind if I start playing some of these games?
Bgammax
*steps back from the blow*

Man, you're really serious about this stuff. But fine, I can watch from a bit further anyways.
Starwaddle
You may indeed! There are video games in the room beside us. Please, enjoy yourself.
HibkiKuze
*Steps over to a machine* any recommendations?
Akamoto_Nanaka
*sips tea, still in the other room*
Starwaddle
Well, I personally like the pinball machine, but there is also the slot machine as well.
Ene
*She finally beats the game*

*Wipes imaginary sweat off her face*

I can't believe how much I missed this.

*Puts her hands on her hands and gazes at Gamma*

Of course I am serious about this stuff!

For a former gaming queen like myself games are a matter of life or death!

HibkiKuze
*Walks to the pinball machine and starts it* I love pinball too it's a classic.
Bgammax
*bows to Ene*
Well your highness, I can certainly see how you got the title. Back in my world I was pretty good at this sort of thing too. Wasn't much else to do, so every now and then I'd head down to the arcade for a few hours.
*looks up with a smirk*
Care for a game?
HibkiKuze
*Keeps his focus on the machine* Darn I must have gotten rusty. Normally I have at least half a million before I lose the first ball.
-Reaper-
"still bored"
Ene
*Smirks*

Of course anti-hero.

I would never back down from a challenge.

*Laughs*

You choose the game. I don't want to destroy your pride too much.
Starwaddle
Ahh, I remember when I was a queen among those in Tokyo. Back then, I was near undefeatable...of course, even the might can fall....
HibkiKuze
Yeah I now the feeling. Hey why'd you leave this place Star? I know if I lived here I would never leave.
-Reaper-
"walks to Nanaka"
Akamoto_Nanaka
Hmm?
Bgammax
Well lets see, a fast-paced game would work best. I think I have a great idea.
*walks over to a Mortal Kombat game*
This will do perfectly. We can face each other directly instead of having to rely on score.
-Reaper-
What are you doing?
Starwaddle
Ah, well, I was a greater goddess once, but then I was ambushed by one hundred gods, and after escaping from my imprisonment, I somehow found myself in the Nexus. As for my living place, the main ship is not where I lived before. I actually lived in one of the side ships. The main ship was a bit...large...for my tastes.
Ene
*Follows Gamma*

Your on!

Beating you in a game like this will be all the more sweeter!

*Thinks*

Best two out of three rounds?
Akamoto_Nanaka
Just drinking tea and thinking....
-Reaper-
About what?
Akamoto_Nanaka
About how I messed everything up....
-Reaper-
Want to talk about it?
Bgammax
*laughs*

Of course, that's how the game's set up after all. Actually, I think I have a better idea. Its a kind of tournament format from my world. We'll each pick three fighters, whenever one fighter's been beaten, we can't choose them anymore. Winner is whoever has characters left at the end. Of course, we both know what characters are options, so it also becomes a game of guessing what your opponent will pick.
Akamoto_Nanaka
......... Not really.....
-Reaper-
I want to help you.....
Akamoto_Nanaka
.....Thank you Shin-kun, but... I don't really want to be helped right now though....
Ene
These rules seem fun enough.

*Points at Gamma*

Your on Anti-hero may the best gamer win!
-Reaper-
can i stay with you here?
Akamoto_Nanaka
*finishes tea*
Actually, I was just about to leave.
Sorry.
-Reaper-
No problem
Bgammax
Alright, in that case I'll go ahead and choose my three.

*pulls out a piece of paper and writes Scorpion, Viper, and Sub-Zero*

Now its public, so I can't pull back from it.

OOC: might be a bit long if we go for showing the whole thing. Could skip a bit.
-Reaper-
Goodbye then....
