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?]

[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.

So they're like magic taken form?

Sounds dangerous.

They are. The usual normal people wouldn't be able to see them either... [Her voice trails off as the loudness decreases, turning it into a whisper instead.]

[She sits upright, posture and all.]

But by the end of the day, they're gone.

... Because of you?

... ... Yeah.

So that's what you meant by hero.

It's all behind me now, I guess... [Then she picks up her mood.] Gotta look forward, right?

Yeah. That's right.

--Ah. That's right! How could I forget introducing myself?

I'm Sayaka Miki.

Hiroto Ibuki.

Hiroto-kun, huh?

How do you hear me with those... headphones on? Are those even headphones?

How does anyone hear anything around here with the music?

[hell yeah evading]

The music's not that loud, actually. It feels like elevator music... I think.

... Elevator music?

Yeah! The ones that play in the background... or video games! That kind of stuff.

-- Yeah, it definitely could be a video game.

... Wait, wait, wait... What do you mean by that? Just the background music, right?

... Yeah?

What do you mean?
