myhalcyondays | Call Me, Beep Me (If You Wanna Reach Me)

[ So... when Lucifer had told him there'd be other versions of similar worlds through the Amala Network, Naoki believed it, but he didn't really expect to end up in one. Tokyo is familiar ground to him, so that's not a problem--the problem is just, you know, his Tokyo was generally destroyed.

... Being back home is really really nice.

Except here he is, wearing only a pair of shorts, sneakers, and covered in glowing green and black tattoos with yellow eyes and a horn on the back of his neck. It kind of sticks out. What's a guy to do? Try and find the nearest human who doesn't assume he's a cosplayer or, you know, freak out because OMG WEIRDO!!!

Except he's horrible with words. And it ends up being a cute girl. Oh no what does he do... ]

[So Shiki was just passing the time, people watching while waiting for the mission mail to come (and Neku to wake up) when suddenly out of nowhere, in the strangest getup she has ever seen. She has lived in Shibuya all of her life and that says something.]

GAH! [She squeaks in surprise, taking a step back and holding Mr. Mew in front of her like a shield.] Don't come any closer!

[ ... Well that sure was hurtful. He'll look down, frowning. ]

U-um, sorry--I don't...

[ He didn't mean to scare her. He's kind of in shock still himself--live humans? ]

I don't know what happened, exactly... are...

[ He pauses, biting his lip. He can't finish the sentence, because he's afraid of the answer. If she's dead... if he's somehow gone to another version of Tokyo before the Conception... maybe he's dreaming. He doesn't want to ruin it. ]

[She peeks from behind Mr. Mew when he spoke.]

Huh?

[Getting a good look at him, he sort of looks human. "Sort of" being the operative word here--]

... Wait--

Edited 2013-07-25 14:40 (UTC)

YOU CAN SEE ME??!!

[ ... He's only sort of human. Most humans don't have horns, yellow eyes, or glowing tattoos. Or fangs, though those are harder to see. He'll blink once or twice, though. ]

... Yes?

[ Why is she freaking out? ]

Why wouldn't I be able to?

[She shakes her head, cuddling Mr. Mew to her chest.]

People from the RG usually aren't able to...

[ He really has no idea what's going on, anymore. He doesn't quite know what she means by "RG", however, he can take a guess. She's something spiritual in nature, right? Obviously still human, though. Hm. He's a little hesitant in admitting this bit, but... ]

Uh... well, I'm a demon. That might have something to do with it.

[ Half-demon, but. ]

A demon...? [She takes a step forward, taking a closer look.]

I never met a demon before...

[ Yeah... he's... human-looking, but no amount of cosplay could easily make those lines on his skin around those markings glow. ]

... Most people haven't, no. I'm, uh, not going to hurt you or anything, if that's what you're worried about.

[ She can try to scan his mind if she wants with the player pin, too--he DOES technically exist in the RG and all, and it'd be possible. A little weird and static-y, but possible! He's telling the truth. ]

I... think a malfunction brought me here. From my Tokyo to yours, that is.

Ah... A malfunction brought you to Shibuya... [She does try to scan him, coming back with nothing but static. Shiki starts to move, circling around him. She was curious, she had to admit. The girl had never seen anything like him before.]

Well, if you wanted to hurt me, you would've done it by now, right?

[ ... Well yeah DUH. ]

No offense, but if I wanted you dead, you would probably be dead already. ... I mean, I try to have a policy of not hurting innocent people. Or demons. ... Or... whatever else, mostly.

[ And that is that!! ]

... But... I was coming to Shibuya, it was just--I guess the Network sent me to the wrong one or something? This is the wrong one, I think...

[Stops circling around, putting a hand on her hip while holding Mr. Mew in the other. Just this face, Naoki.]

Well, it's probably a good thing I'm already dead, huh?

... The wrong one? [She knew that there were two versions of Shibuya but there were more??]

Edited 2013-07-26 16:09 (UTC)

[ ... Well crap. He looks taken aback, um. HOW DOES HE SALVAGE THIS?? ]

... But you don't look like most souls do, and, um, most humans are dead--

[ Oh god Naoki stop you're only digging your hole deeper. QUICK FIX THIS AND CHANGE TOPICS! ]

... Uh. Yeah. There's... a lot of different realities and universes and worlds connected by the Amala Network. It's... complicated, sorry.

Well, I'm just technically dead? I dunno how to explain it.

[Looks like Shiki salvaged the conversation for you, Naoki. 8|b]

Man. And I thought Shibuya having two versions of it was confusing enough.

See, I'd offer to revive you if your body's around--wait... I don't think I can without my friend. Hang on.

[ He flicks holds his hand out--

...

... Nothing...

Then he tries gain, this time, a bunch of blue magic appears, and a very small fairy shows up and lands on his head. ]

What took you so long, Naonao? ... Where are we?

Shibuya.

Aww, but this isn't our Shibuya! It's all full of hu~mans!

I know. ... Are the others...?

Yeah, about that... I think they got left behind at the Terminal. But Cu-lu was saying he'd wait for you, Naonao!

... Well, I think he can look after everyone. Hey. Can you try something for me really quick?

Like~?

Using a Recarm skill on this girl.

Okie dokie! ♥

[ And then there's a bunch of magic, but--ah, yeah... without the body, the spell isn't any good. Which is a shame. It looks like the other people don't even notice the Pixie, though; probably because she's a being like Shiki. Maybe she exists in the UG like her? ]

...

Are you sure she's dead? Why are we helping this human in this weird place, anyway? She's not part of Kagutsuchi's plan.

... Well, she's human, it was worth a try.

Hmmmm... who are you, anyway, Pinkie? I'm Pixie, of the Fairy clan! You'd better not be here to take Naonao from me~ ♥

[ This is not weird at all, nope. Have a demon fairy smaller than your plush hovering in front of you, Shiki. ]

... Pix...

[ alksmdg He's embarrassed. ]

[Shiki blinks, watching the weird fairy thing flittering about in front of her. She is cute though, Shiki would give her that.]

Uh, nice to meet you, Pixie. My name's Shiki and I'm not going to take--[Her gaze flickers to Naoki.] Naonao from you.

... I-it's Hitoshura! You know, Demi-fiend.

[ He groans, putting a hand to his face, slightly red. ]

Wait... did I... introduce myself? ... Ugh, I completely forgot, I'm sorry, it's--uh, Naoki was my human name, so... er, nice to meet you, Shiki-san.

[ He glances down, embarrassed. Wow, he's... he's gotten so used to talking to demons he's completely forgot how to talk to a cute girl. ]

Heehee! Glad to hear it, Kiki. You're pretty cute, so I'd hate someone to go making a move on my master~

... Um--do you maybe know where your body is...? If we have that, since we've got your soul here and all, she might be able to revive you.

Yeah, if we don't have your corpse, not even the Afterlife Bell is gonna help you!

Nice to meet you too, Naoki~ [To Pixie.] Um, thanks?

[When the pair asked her where her body is, Shiki sigh, frowning.]

That's the thing. I don't know where my body is.

[ Syaoran let out a sigh after his phone call ended. Sakura, Tomoyo, and he had a promised to visit an aquarium. It was really Daidoji's idea. 'You have been dealing with so many things lately, I am sure it'll help you relax.' She had said.

The same girl phoned him fifteen minutes before the promised time and called in sick. Now it was just him and Kinomoto, in an aquarium, together ... ]

That girl ...! She's doing this on purpose.

[ And his stupid heart won't stop beating faster. What a day this is turning out to be. :( ]

[ ooc: this is before he confesses. ^.^ ]

[ Classes had ended and Haruhi had finally finished with her class duties. So it was about time to head towards the clubroom, her head held high. She had heard the whispers of the other girls from both her class and other classes as she headed to the old shack, where the clubroom was.

But it annoyed her. Hearing things about love, romance, and confessions...

It made her want to grit her teeth and punch something in the face. At least, that's what she told herself, anyway. She then opens the door to the clubroom, speaking up in her usual, energetic voice, timing it right so that she opens the door the same time she speaks. ]

Yahoo! Did I keep you guys waiting...?

[ She dances into the room, allowing the door to close behind her as her eyes glanced around the room, realizing that there was only a single person in the room. ]

Ah, Yuki's not here today?

[ Because priorities. ]

[Kyon raises his head from playing with a backgammon board by himself, frowning.]

How can be so energetic all the time? It's like she runs on an unlimited supply of batteries, powered by the sun.

... That's a frightening thought. Forget I even mentioned that.

[ At Haruhi query, he looked around and sure enough, the alien of the SOS Brigade is nowhere to be seen.]

Nope. Just me. Funny. I thought Nagato was here a second ago...

[ Her voice is somewhat shaky as she speaks up, a slight flush on her cheeks as she glances away in her horrible attempt to hide it. ]

Ah, I see.

[ Calm and cool, just as always as she walks towards her usual chair, suddenly hearing a voice in her head. "Go tell him." It's her own voice, but she soon stops, turns on her heel, and faces Kyon, blurting out of nowhere in a loud voice: ]

... Kyon, I really, really love you!

[ Wait, no, that's not what she wanted to say at all. And now she's going to cover her own mouth with her hands, taking a shaky step back as she looks away from him, embarrassed and confused. Why did she say that...?

Now she feels mad at herself. ]

[ Ouran High School has suddenly decided to hold what commoners call an 'exchange program'. The reason is partly to further increase the school's good image... but the main reason lies within the Host Club. Yup. Obviously it was Tamaki's idea. Of course, it was also Kyoya's cunningness for showing Tamaki SP's famous website. He decided to ~~invite~~ hire that SP club (Scissors Project) from a certain commoner school for their new 'Kirei Kiseki' event that will be held in a few weeks time. It so happens that the SP has 6 members, just like the Ouran Host Club... And guess who's Haruhi hosting? This girl called Kiri Koshiba who also needs to crossdress as a guy like Haruhi always does, for that big event. ]

[Normally, Takuma partook of tea brewed by himself for leisure or blood cocktails served to him at high society parties more for casual drinking. He didn't usually drink alcohol, certainly nothing this strong anyways.

But here he found himself at one of the many social events that Somarium hosted, partaking in a strong wine. He found that he liked the white variety since it was sweeter and more suited to his tastes. Unfortunately he was starting to get quite tipsy.

He let out a light laugh at nothing as he placed a hand onto Claire's shoulder.]

We should dance! Do you know how to waltz, Claire?

[Unfortunately, Claire discovers she could not get drunk at all. It probably has something to do with her ability (her body burns through all the alcohol like it's nothing). She had some of the wine herself and to her bemusement she wasn't even getting tipsy at all.

Before she could dwell on this matter further, she felt a clap on her shoulder, raising an eye at her vampire friend.]

No, I don't know how to waltz. [Does slow dancing count?]

Edited 2013-07-29 16:24 (UTC)

[Takuma shakes his head and wags a finger at the other blond.]

That won't do.

I'll have to teach you!

[He holds out his hand and bows at the waist. His usual perfect grace was sort of...off kilter. He still had an airy sort of balance about him, but it was more like a willow bending lazily in the wind.]

[She should say no. She really should, but Claire found it really difficult to refuse Takuma sometimes. Especially now (probably because he acted even more adorable drunk). Claire rolled her eyes, trying to hide the smile that was quirking the corners of her lips as she took his hand.]

You're really going to do this.

Edited 2013-11-16 06:47 (UTC)

Of course. [He says that in a sing song voice as he straightens up and whisks her to the dance floor. He takes her hand gently and places it onto his shoulder.]

Your hand goes right here and mine goes here.

[He places his hand right above her waist.]

Then we both join our hands like this.

[He holds her hand and raises it up.]

Does that feel comfortable? [He smiles down at her, there's a slight tint of pink on his cheeks.]

I feel comfortable like this.

[She obediently follows his directions, putting her hand on his shoulder and then holding his hand with her other. The smile she was trying to hide was out on the open now, becoming softer when he smiles down at her.]

Yeah... [She gently squeezes his hand.] I'm comfortable too.

[... Aren't they supposed to start waltzing now?]

[Right. Dancing!]

So now you have to go with a different rhythm. Like 1-2-3, 1-2-3.

I'll lead you!

[He starts taking steps around in a pattern to help her move her feet. Since he was tipsy, his rhythm was just a tad off.]

[Meet up at Hachiko? Sure. But Neku is mentally cursing that he agreed to meet so soon after school - he hasn't had time to change out of his uniform. He's got his regular clothes in his bag, but the station was too crowded and he had to wait for another train, so changing hadn't been an option.]

[Still, he heads over to the statue, at least putting his headphones around his neck.]

[Shiki was hurrying to Hachiko herself, not having time to change out of her uniform either. She makes her way through the crowd, running to the statue when there weren't many people around for her to bump into.

She finally spots Neku, waving a hand out in greeting while making her way towards him.]

Neku! Over here!

[It's still a little bit strange to have the two different images of Shiki, but he's grown used to this one by now. He waves and heads a little more in her direction.]

What's up?

[Fall means shopping at fresh farmer's markets for the best ingredients and you can bet that Trucy and Iris are out and about doing their shopping for dinner that night. As excited as Trucy was to invite Iris out for that, she's also got some other things up her sleeve, but when doesn't she? But that can come later. Right now, she's way too excited about pumpkins.]

Miss Iris!! Look how big these are!

[Blake Belladonna was on a mission. Putting her skills to good use, she sneaks out Beacon, slipping past her teammates during break time to make her way to downtown Vale without even being detected. And for a good reason. She was going buy something that she doesn't want anyone from her team to know.

The newest volume of Ninjas in Love.

Hey, she wants her guilty pleasure to stay secret, all right? No one can fault her for that.

Anyway, she made it to the bookstore without any consequence, the clerk giving her a knowing smile when she steps in.]

You know where it is.

[Out of habit, she takes a glance around, making sure the coast is clear before she head for that shelf. Looks like luck was on her side today.]

[Sighing in relief, she gives a knowing smile of her own, waving a hand at the clerk.]

Thanks.

[Blake then dashes towards the Romance section of the bookstore, taking her sweet time scouting the titles there before her eyes landed on the cover of the book she wanted. She's just going to grab it before anyone else comes in and sees her with it. Yep.]

[A shame that someone else had been spending his time at the bookstore by the time she'd gotten there, really; had it not been for that single factor, her little secret would have gone unnoticed. Unfortunately, it just so happens that said factor is also a boy out to delve into every book he could find, trashy or not. And his name was Seta Souji.

The seventeen-year old student on a field trip from a nearby school had chanced upon the same aisle, and was browsing through the books when Blake suddenly made for the one next to him -- right as he was going to reach for it, too. Well...that was sudden, wasn't it?]

Eh? [...Excuse the staring, he didn't think other people went here for these sorts of books.]

[Blake froze, her fingers twitching near the spine of the book. Her yellow eyes widen in surprise, not quite sure how she should react.]

Ah--!

[She quickly takes her hand back, tucking it inside her skirt pocket.]

I, I wasn't--! [But you were about to, Blake. XD] Go ahead...

[Smooth...]

You weren't...? [Very, very smooth. Why does he get the feeling that this book is something she doesn't want people to know about?

Souji steps back, still giving her that ??? look that the rest of Team RWBY would be giving her if they found out about her 'interests'.]

[She just. So thankful that no one from Beacon has caught her with this book in her possession. orz And, he would be right about that feeling. Someone like Blake doesn't seem like the type who would devour a "series" like this.]

No... [She shakes her head, still trying to play it cool.] I'm just. Browsing.

[Nailed it!]

Just browsing.

["Just browsing", when her hand clearly showed the intent to grab this book? He can't quite believe that, but...it's probably better if he gives her the benefit of the doubt here. Wouldn't want to embarrass the poor girl in public...]

Alright then...if you're sure.

[...He does stare at the book, though, looking like one of those people who may have never actually seen a book of this questionable caliber as he does. Except he has seen this kind of trashy novel and it was in the form of a vampire book, but details. Fact of the matter is, while he's glimpsed into the abyss at least once, he's at least hopeful that this will be a decent read. One that wasn't schoolbook reading, anyway -- he gets more than enough of that in class and for his homework as it is...

Still, it's not long before he turns towards her again. She looked like a local...maybe she could answer a few of his questions, mundane and otherwise later, when they weren't making the atmosphere awkward.]

Is this an aisle you look at often? [...okay, that might not have been the best ice breaker he could have thought of, or one that helped take the weight of the whole "Ninjas In Love" issue off, even by a bit...but they had to start somewhere.]

[The forest is always an alluring thing, isn't it? But tonight, even more so, the full moon reflecting off of mist while a beautiful violin plays. An old tune, romantic and alluring, promising love and fulfilled desires. And if that music is followed, there is a clearing, where a young man (woman?) plays and sits alone at a lovely table set up with tea and a little tiered dessert tray for two. Candles light the clearing, their flames like fireflies, and it seems built to dance in.

Won't you join him for tea, Milady?]

[ There's plenty of things to do after work, but it's getting late and he doesn't exactly live in the school. It'd be nice to get home before the sun set, for once. It'd be too late for dinner, but at least he could say goodnight to his children.

As Fujitaka was hurrying home, he spots a familiar face on the other side of the street. A short detour wouldn't hurt, just to say hello.

Crossing the street, he attempts a wave to get her attention ]

[ Natsume's just moved to Inaba to stay for... who knows. he hopes he doesn't have to move right away, but after his first night at his new home it's already looking like a short stay.

still, the elementary school he entered seems nice. (although he wonders how long their invitations to play together will last) he's on his way home alone, although at times he seems to be looking over his shoulder... ]
