a: cookie disaster
[ Upon leaving the research center after being briefed via PowerPoint presentation, you'll find a robot that looks like a salt and pepper shaker tailing you, and offering you a fortune cookie! What a cute little robot. It's just so bad that it the cookie gives you strange fortunes like "Someone has Googled you recently". Creepy, huh?
But whether or not you read your fortune out loud, the robot seems to be very, very intent on helping. It follow you around and offer strange, and possibly dangerous advice. Your fortune said "You're allergic to the last thing you ate"? Well, the robot will offer to cut open your stomach to remove the food out! It cares. And this robot will chase you down, threaten you, shoot you with its laser eyes, or all of the above! Apart from that, it's definitely very noisy. Sorry, it's not sorry about how loud it is as it announces to you and to every passerby that "You will spend the next five hours sitting on the toilet"!
(Feel free to think of the most mundane or crazy fortunes and helpful "solutions!") ]
b: error in transporation
[ The metro-rail is basically what everyone who doesn't want to walk uses to get around the colony. It's usually a convenient means of transporation, but with the population growing, the rides start to get crowded! Lucky for you, today isn't one of those days. There aren't a lot of people riding the trains today, and there are probably just three or so people in each cart. You can sit down, and you don't have to smell the person who's invading your personal space because of how crowded it is!
Hold on tight, though, as the train comes to an abrupt stop! The conductor gets every passenger's attention through the intercom right away, and explains that there's some trouble in the next stop that services will be interrupted until further notice. Basically? You're stuck on the train until whatever problem there is is solved. Hope you have nothing important going on!
Well, of course you don't! You just arrived, after all. ]
c: obligatory horror option
[ After being briefed, of course you'd want to find a place to settle down in. Thankfully, the CEO and CERES is generous enough to provide you all with housing, and free rent for two months! Just how swell is that? But upon claiming an apartment of your own, you'll slowly notice that things aren't… how they should be. You blink, and you find the figure of someone who you never ever want to see before you. It's a faceless being, but their other physical characteristics sure are there. You blink again, and they're gone.
You don't feel safe. You start getting paranoid. What if something else happens? Maybe you should find another place to sleep in tonight. Knock on your neighbour's door, or wait outside your building to see if anyone will pick you up.
Or you could always be brave and spend the night at your own apartment. You'll find the lights flickering on and off even though you've switched them off already; the doors opening and closing on their own; the furniture suddenly not being in its place as if someone was dragging them around the house. It's definitely causing a lot of disruption so late at night, and it's not just you who can hear it. Your neighbours can hear the strange noises coming from your apartment, too. ]
d: vivid
✧ ViVid info
[ You thought you were done with ViViD for the day, but for some messed up reason, you clicked on something you weren't supposed to, and you're back in the game.
Your mission? Form a party of two members or more, beat the boss before it beats you! Yes. The boss is a butt with a tongue. It attacks with its tongue by either impaling the character/s, or by releasing pink hairs into the air which will fall all over the stage and causes confusion for a short duration of time.
The mission begins once you've formed a party! Good luck, and don't let love be over! ]

[Kazuya forced himself to smile, although he was afraid it looked more like a grimace. He still wasn't fully comfortable with his 'Messiah' title yet - and here, where no one knew the context, he didn't want to suffer the inevitable explanation he'd have to give about it. He'd sound like a complete lunatic unless he gave a demonstration of his powers - which he wasn't going to do, thank you very much]
Sorry, I just started thinking about, um, something. Besides, we're strangers. It'd be kinda weird to dump on you.
no subject
[Making sure everyone was doing okay was his duty as a leader. And not just as a leader, but a friend too. This person was a stranger who he barely knew... But he couldn't bring himself to turn away from someone who needed some kind of help. Hiro couldn't make things completely better for him, but he could offer his support at least. Sometimes, just listening and being there was enough.]
You don't have to tell me the whole story if you're not cool with it. But I can tell you that I've already seen my fair share of weird things by now.
[Hiro's still smiling, but there's something more weighted about it. All of those sad and painful things... No way that he would've gotten through any of that without the others supporting him.]
no subject
[Kazuya's tone dropped slightly, but his grimace had eased into a more sincere smile - even if it was rather wry]
Trust me, it can't be as weird as what I've seen. [beat] Or fucked up.
no subject
Are you willing to bet those headphones on that, mister?
[Giving him A Look™ like he's starting RIGHT INTO HIS SOUL.] I never back down from a challenge.
no subject
[But Kazuya looked intrigued, and he leaned back in his seat, tilting his jaw almost imperiously]
But alright, fine. Say one weird thing that's happened to you. We'll see if I can top it.
no subject
Being chased around by killer demons with my friends is one thing for starters.
no subject
...sorry, but, did you just say demons? [He straightened up in his seat, gaze almost critical as it looked Hiro up and down, as if searching for something specific] Like, demons that come from some sort of... summoning programme?
no subject
That's right. It was an app uploaded to my cellphone and we leaned on that for survival. We used it to summon demons of our own to protect ourselves. Then the weirder part is that it can even fuse demons together and there's a auction where you can even buy them.
[Hiro takes out his blue cellphone and shows Kazuya a few glimpses of the the app-- Such as the Demon Auction (which looked blocked off from any purchases) and The Demonic Compendium. Judging from Kazuya's words, Hiro had to guess that he's been through something far too similar.]
Back where I'm from, we just call these COMPs for short. And the scary part is my friends and I weren't the only ones who could use them either...
no subject
Considering the position that he held and his stance on humans having that power, this was... awkward. Hiro was a nice guy, really, but it was time for Kazuya to put his 'Messiah' face on. Hopefully this would be resolved without an argument. He actually liked this jokester...]
You shouldn't have that. Didn't you listen to the angels' call? All COMPs were to be handed in to the Shomonkai to be destroyed. [He held out his hand] Humans aren't allowed this power.
no subject
--Angels' call? Shomonkai?! What are you talking about? I never heard about any of that...!
[He would've been pretty sure that someone at JPs would've mentioned a huge COMP disposal if it was needed. Just who did this guy think that he was? Hiro stands up as he clinches onto his cellphone rather defensively. He never asked for this power, but there were so good that he did with it...!
He couldn't just give up this power whenever they were so close to fixing everything!]
--Just who are you, anyway? Humans might not have a right to this power, but they still have a right to protect themselves!
no subject
Humans don't need to protect themselves anymore.
[Well, Kazuya made sure of that, anyway. In the position of Messiah, he was keeping the angels happy enough to hold off from delivering another ordeal to humanity anytime soon, and had ordered all rogue demons to stay out the human world. With the two main threats gone, what did humans need demon summoning programmes for? Nothing, that's what]
I don't know if you've been living under a rock or something, but handing the COMPs in is part of the deal to stop the lockdown. [he crossed his arms, staring at Hiro intently] Look, you're a nice guy and all, but I need to do my job, and that job is making sure humans aren't running around with demons. [As well as executing the irredeemable ones, but he didn't think mentioning that would help right now] It's not that I don't trust you, but...
[...okay, it's because he didn't trust him]
But, humans are susceptible to temptation.
no subject
Argh... What. The. Hell?! First, Yamato and Ronaldo were forcing their ideals on people and now.... I have to meet another troublesome guy?! Are you all part of some organization dedicated to bullying me or something?
[There's another muffled sound that said something along the lines of: "Saaaaave me!" Before he finally takes a deep breath and looks back with Kazuya. Who were these Shomonkai people? Another branch of JPs that he's never heard about? Well, if he could dig for information... He would. But first things first...]
Look, well... Can't you just give me a free pass or something? Demons aren't the only threat out there, y'know. That's why I was given this power... To defeat another threat messing with humanity.
[Which just made Hiro wonder many supernatural creatures were going to turn humanity into their personal sandbox before they were completely satisfied. Something or someone had to stop all of this for good.]
no subject
[Seriously, had this guy been living under a rock? Became some kind of tunnel hermit in the few days within the lockdown and never left his hole until now? Something was niggling him as wrong... not to sound arrogant, but everyone knew who Kazuya was, who the Shomonkai were, and the edicts passed down from God...]
I banished the demons from the human world, and I'm keeping God from going batshit on you again. There's no threat left for you to defend against.
[He was beginning to sound like a broken record now, geeze...]
no subject
Are you kidding me?! Demons are still running rampant all over the world... [There's a short pause.] No, what's left of the world.
[Which was already Japan, so the Void already had to write off 99% percent of the world's population. He lets out an little shiver at the thought of being erased out of existence to that thing. And the sad fact was the void was still spreading...]
And on top of all of that, the Septentriones... [He pauses as he realizes that word was too foreign to understand.] Um, these funny looking alien invaders have been showing up and giving us hell for the whole week now! How can any of that fly over your head!?
[Deep breaths, Hiro. There was ONE thing he wanted to know...]
When you say "God"... You mean Polaris, right?
no subject
...what's a 'Polaris'?
[Scratch that, 'Septentriones'? 'Funny looking alien invaders? Kazuya's blank look edged into something resembling concern, peering at Hiro closely as if suspecting there was something physically wrong with him. Was he unwell? Had some sort of mental break and was living in some sort of fantasy world?]
Okay, I think we're having some sort of massive misunderstanding here. The God I'm talking about is God God. Y'know, the one in Christianity? I think his name's Yehovah? I dunno. [Worst Messiah ever] Anyway, I have no idea what you're talking about with this alien shit. There're no aliens in the human world - as far as I know anyway.
[Suddenly, a rather ugly thought loomed]
... you ever hear of something called the Tokyo Lockdown?
no subject
[Wait... There are other gods out there? Was that a new Administrator? Well, that was something else that research buffs like Fumi could dig into. Makoto mentioned locking down Shiba Park whenever Dubha first arrived. But that certainly wasn't related to this.]
What happened with me was demons showing up after a giant earthquake that wreaked up Tokyo. Then we were told that they weren't just attacking Japan, but the entire world. So... The whole planet knew about the existence of demons.
[So it would've been impossible to contain them all in one place. But in hindsight, it would've been a JPs-like thing to do like containing a threat like that into one area and blow them up somehow. But the scary part was what would've happened if they were contained in an area with other humans... When Hiro came into that train of thought, he couldn't help and look a bit queasy.]
no subject
[Finally, it clicked. Not long after he took the mantle of Messiah, he had been taken aside by Remiel and given an extensive crash course on the weirdness of the human world, the demon world, and everything in between. This also involved the Amala Universe and, well, he didn't understand it at all, but enough to get the gist of different worlds. It was why he had drifted along in Cerealia so placidly, believing he had been hauled into one and it would only be a matter of time until the angels found him and dragged him back. It... almost happened before. It seemed like Hiro was from one of these other worlds]
I've jumped the gun here.
[Well, this was awkward! Still, Kazuya deeply disapproved about Hiro having the demon summoning programme, but sadly, he wasn't under the jurisdiction of his world, so he would - reluctantly - concede for now. The moment he saw Hiro abuse his COMP though and BAM. Kazuya would be on him within seconds!]
Seems we're from different places. Where I'm from, a lockdown was set in place in Tokyo - without evacuating the human population, I might add - to contain the demons and stop them from spreading across Japan. It was a bit of a mess, frankly. Took me a week to fix.
no subject
[His tone was very pointed and matter-of-fact. Maybe if you stained your ears, you'd even hear a hint of snark in it. But all things considered, he couldn't hold it entirely against Kazuya to be a bit edgy around someone with a COMP. He's been side-eying App Abusers constantly himself. But despite how unbelievable hearing something about other worlds was... The information about Polaris controlling multiple universes along with the Akashic Record and all the crazy crap THAT could do... It wouldn't be a stretch for alternate universes to exist.
Honestly, he just felt even more smaller than he did before. The universe much more huger than he could imagine. Maybe this guy was a Shining One too, in a way...]
Really? Man... I can't believe there's other worlds with people going through similar experiences as I did. I've already gotten an idea on what I'm gonna do and how to fix everything, but the issue now is to.. [Do it. That is before ending up here.] Well, anyway! It's just been a crazy week for me too.
no subject
[From the sounds of it, Hiro thought he was in a position to stop whatever was going on in his world. Maybe he was, oh, how would Atsuro put it, the main protagonist in his crazy, demon filled adventure? Kazuya could almost sympathise, except that there was something nagging at him. Hiro was plainly human. It seemed... something. He wasn't sure. Something was nagging at him about it]
...yeah, those types of situations tend to be stressful. [understatement] When you get back, I wish you luck, I suppose. God knows I needed it when crawling my way up the demon totem pole back home. Watch out for whatever happens at the end though, you might find yourself getting dragged into something really complicated.
no subject
[Deep down, he hoped everything would end simply. But he wasn't going to dwell too hard on it since he's thrown his hesitations aside for his choice. But the thought of other Administrators out there... It was more than unnerving. The universe was truly a big place that needed some fixing. But if there were other people like Kazuya out there that were keeping things in balance in their own way, then everything would be alright.
But demon totem pole, huh? As curious as he was, Hiro wasn't sure if he could fathom what Kazuya had been through. He had his own battles to fight just like his own...]
Well, anyway... Thanks for the chat! I'm gonna go see if anyone else needs some poking at. [Which would be Hironese for saying he's going to see if there's any other distressed faces in the crowd to try and perk up. With a little wave, he'll make his way to another end of the train.] Later!
