~2~ Steady darkness within (Dream)

[trashheap_angel]

Trigger warnings: Violence, trauma, blood/gore in the description and possibly more in the comments. Written prose-style but action tags are good too! Totally open to anyone. More OOC notes about the dream at the bottom. Also, going to work now so more tags after that.

[junpei finds himself at the edge of a battle rather suddenly, and this ... this isn't his hat. WHAT HAPPENED TO HIS HAT.]

Uh ... dude?

yesss /o/ poor junpei. screwed without his hat

[trashheap_angel]

[Ah! A new enemy has appeared--no doubt through a Gate, or at least that's what Rubi assumes.

He narrowly dodges a holy spell. But, now his attention is caught on the newcomer. Perhaps it's a foolish move, tactically, but he swoops down toward him with his scythe upraised.

Yes this might not end well.]

How many of you are there! Do you all want to die?

[Not sounding like he cares if they do or not.]

s-sob ;~; the hat is a preorder bonus

[overdoing]

Whoa! [junpei throws up his hands and stumbles backward.] Dude, I don't wanna die! I-I don't even know how I got here!

/this whole scene is actually a gamestop preorder commercial

[trashheap_angel]

...you want mercy?

[How confusing. Part of Rubi is tempted to entirely ignore that out-of-place pleading.

But then another of the Tenth Tribe catches up and attempts to cast a holy spell at his back. The Golem whirls on the man and refutes his spell--then doesn't give him a chance to cast another. He flies at him and rips his scythe through his neck.

After that, he doubles back toward Junpei, still rather confused.]

If you don't want to die, run away. Go and join those others who are hiding from me!

[He doesn't recognize Junpei yet. If he thinks the voice is familiar, he assumes it's because he's been to this land of broken castles many times before.]

[running away would be the smart thing. good thing no one's ever accused stupei of being smart.]

Dude, just - tell me what the hell's goin' on here!

preorder now... <_< OR ELSE

[trashheap_angel]

...you should know. Your kind seeks to violate the gate between worlds.

[There's something worse than battle rage in Rubi's voice, now]

/PREORDERS LIKE A BOSS

[overdoing]

Whoa! Dude, seriously ... I don't wanna violate anything! You got the wrong guy!

/another win for the corporation overlords!

[trashheap_angel]

Explain! You are of the Tenth Tribe, aren't you?

[Staring now at the very non-Junpei hat on Junpei's head.]

/s-sobs

[overdoing]

Uh ... no? I'm from, the, uh - the Junpei Iori tribe!

[DON'T BLAME HIM that's hot his normal hat ffff]

B)

[trashheap_angel]

The...what?

[Let this be a lesson to you Junpei. This is what you get for wearing generic evil badguy apparel. Never a good choice!]

Where do you come from?

[Definitely a demand, and he's lifting the scythe again.]

;~;

[overdoing]

[he solemnly swears to never wear unauthorized headgear again. really!]

Japan, dude! Iwatodai! [his hands are up again.] Don't kill me!

8)

[trashheap_angel]

Japan!

[That stops him for a moment, though he narrows his eyes. The tenth tribe does have a sect in Tokyo. Not Iwatodai, wherever that is.]

What are you doing here? Did they force you to fight for them?

[overdoing]

Listen, dude! I told you - I'm not here to fight anyone! I don't even know how I got here!

[trashheap_angel]

.....

[His voice is familiar, but in a way that doesn't make sense now. Yet it evokes a kind of memory.]

You and I have spoken before this.

[overdoing]

Did we?

[come to think of it ... this guy does sound vaguely familiar, in an odd way.]

I guess we must've.
