thebelsareinert | First Day

[Somewhere in the middle of New Bark, one might find a blue haired youth sitting with his Larvitar attempting to figure out his PokeGear.]

Is this an old COMP model? Doesn't really look like it, but only Atsuro would know for sure. [he shakes his head] It looks like all my demons and macca are gone too. ... No, not gone. They're probably still in my COMP. Which means that--

[a beep!, and the PokeGear's video function whirrs to life.]

[VIDEO]

-- I really need to leave. [at the sound of Larvitar making a noise on the side, Hiro glances away from the screen, then back to it.] Oh, awesome. I got it working even without Atsuro here.

... Might as well get right into it.

Listen, I don't know where I am, but I need to get back to Tokyo.

[he pauses, then suddenly flares up a little]

Does this at least have a TV function? Internet? I want to check the news about the lockdown. That is, if the government's even let it have that name. It's probably been really covered up outside too.

[he shakes his head again, getting just a bit angry. in a few hours, everything will be...]

Listen I'm running out of time! If you know where I am and how I can get back to Tokyo, tell me as soon as you can!

[with that, he ends the feed [/VIDEO] and gets up, heading back towards the Professor's place. He figures if there's a scientist handing out demons, he's got to have answers.

... Someone want to stop him from breaking Elm's door down?]

Yeah. [She looks off to the side for a second and then back to the screen.]

Your world sounds tough. Lockdown and all.

... That's not even the half of it.

Were you some kind of "hero of justice" or something?

[he shows a look of recognition, then shakes his head. bawwwww my girls left my partyyyyy.]

Just the opposite. There was a girl who was though.

Opposite? [Well, that has her pinged.] What do you mean by that?

[he shrugs. well, EVERYONE here is pacted with demons from the looks of it, so what he has to say probably isn't too outrageous. he might even be in some warped area of the demon world as it is.]

What do you think it would mean?

So are you some kind of byronic hero or something?

...

Most people would tend to just think villain...

[Did he seriously just get asked that?]

If you aren't a hero of justice, you just do it for something that you want out of selfishness, isn't it?

Still wrong. [... well, not entirely. it's not like he's against ruling the world or anything.]

The world's pretty gray you know.

Haah... [She sighs.]

Right. Yeah, I should have known.

[well this is going well]

What should you have known?

[derp...]

The world being gray. Yeah. [She tilts her head slightly to the side, thinking about other things.]

You didn't sound like you believed me there...

--Haha. But what isn't there to believe in Johto?

I wasn't talking about Johto.

I wasn't either.

[well, if she's going to be like that--]

Sometimes, you'll need to embrace darkness. Even if people don't understand, even if you need to cut yourself off from them forever, as long as it keeps them safe, that's what matters.

[It takes a while for that to sink in, but Sayaka bites her lower lip as she listens.]

... You sound like you know from experience.

I do. [he looks up, away from her.] Most people in Tokyo - in the world, you included - will probably remember me as a villain.

[he shrugs]

And I'm okay with that. What has to be done, has to be done. I can't entirely say I'm a "hero" anymore as it is. Not really.

That's funny, because I don't remember a lockdown anywhere in Japan.

There were... witches though.

A lot of people are saying that. [he shakes his head] I still have to deal with it.

Witches?

People have been saying that they all come from different worlds and stuff, so...

[She nods a bit.]

What kind of witch?

Witches that are born from curses that curse everything else.
