[mostly open] friday's partings

Who: The entire Devil Survivor 2 cast, as well as Alcor (AU) and you!
Where: Around Sagittarius Ward.
When: April 26th, at various times (but namely the 13th Hour).
Summary: It all started with a kidnapping and a few crazy cast members before it got completely out of hand, involving even those who never wanted to be.
Warnings: Violence, injuries, and possible property damage.

When the 13th Hour struck, sheer chaos unfolded. Frankly, everything was in chaos already, but that just added to it even moreso. And in the midst of this whirlwind of confusion and frenzy were a couple of individualswho were unfortunate enough to bump into each other during this time, while under the influence of the Taurus event.

It started out simple. Well, as simple as one could get in this situation. Io was just going to kidnap Kaito (being possessive of anything that held value, nothing big), and the Hotsuin twins had a scuffle, but the twins of them happened to come across the aforementioned kidnapping, which certainly didn't go well with either of them. And when Io Nitta came under the threat of harm, a certain overprotective watchdog Septentrione with his (somewhat) protective characteristics kicked into overdrive didn't take that too well either. Not that he had a choice. A tool has no free will, after all.

So, due to the effects of the Zodiac event, not only is Alcor compelled to cause havoc to add to the general mayhem of the city (with his 3 demons milling out and about as well), the complete opposite of how extremely passive and obedient he was before, he's also very strongly compelled to protect Io Nitta, who was under attack by the twins, at all costs...which is driving him to try to destroy anything that could be labelled as a threat to her as well. (Just in case the bull horns on his head didn't already give it away that he was one of them.)

Even other Visitors.

So when that building near you is hit by a Mazandyne, don't take it too personally. If there's a spell flung in your direction, don't take that too personally either. And if you come across those two light-haired twins who are fighting the culprit of this particular mess and look like they're fighting a losing battle instead, will you help them or not? No matter what, tread carefully; a sword of the absolute is not to be taken lightly.

[ooc: While some of the threads in this log will be closed between certain people, as a sort of catch-all post, you're certainly free to just tag in/start new threads in this post and have your character(s) run into Alcor and try to stop the rampaging Septentrione! Here is a list of his abilities (scroll down to Canon Powers), and don't worry about defeating him! That'll be dealt with, in the end. Also, please let me know how severely he can injure your character, if given the opportunity.]

"Waste of space?!" At least he wasn't so boosted out of regular sanity that he couldn't still be offended. Or, less actually offended and more 'really dude, that's not cool.'

"S-Still.. It's not like I exactly have same training as all your JP's guys did-- I just kind of wing it most of the time. It seems to work, so I guess I'm glad to be useful! Not much to be impressed over.

"Besides, you were the one that was trying to save Kaito and managed to hold your own against Saiduq. So I kinda owe you too."

"I think we're even," Yamato said wryly, "You saved my life, and I attempted to save Kaito's... if anything the level of debt is heavier in my direction."

He suddenly turned a little, prodding Daichi firmly on the forehead. "So don't be so modest. Although humility is an admirable trait to possess, a bit of arrogance would do you well, Daichi."

"Hey--!" Daichi brought one hand up to lightly bat Yamato's hand away from his face, looking equal parts perturbed and amused and trying to suppress a small snicker.

"No way, then I'll end up like one of those jerks that walk around Shibuya with dyed, slicked back hair and wear wei--"

Hey wait a minute.

"Did... you just called me 'Daichi'?"
drakenguard: (relaxed)

[personal profile] drakenguard 2013-05-13 11:36 pm (UTC)(link)
"That is your name, isn't it?" Yamato asked, raising an eyebrow in bemusement. "Unless I'm mistaken..."
hetried: (Fish ✰ how does i phone work)

[personal profile] hetried 2013-05-13 11:39 pm (UTC)(link)
"No! I mean-- well, yeah, that's my name. Of course! Why wouldn't it be..."

He laughed awkward and shrugged his shoulders slightly, let's just, pretend he didn't start speaking like an idiot just now.

"I've just-- never heard you actually call me that before"
drakenguard: (small smile)

"That is because I didn't," Yamato said bluntly, "However, you've gained enough of my respect to now be on a first name basis. Isn't that how it goes?"

Of course, there were exceptions; if Daichi had been an official employee of JP's, then Yamato would never use his first name since it would be inappropriate. However as he wasn't... well, free game.

"Seriously?!"

It was kind of weird, but he basically looks like he just hit the jackpot.

"Uh-- I mean, yeah! I guess so!" Actually he'd never heard of it going like that, but he was still grinning pretty broadly. Never would he think he'd see the day where he got an actual acknowledgement of respect from Yamato goddamn Hotsuin.

"So does that mean we're actually friends now?"
drakenguard: (relaxed)

"..." Yamato paused and sat up completely straight. He didn't expect that question asked so bluntly, and he wasn't quite sure of the answer himself. Friends... he didn't need or want them. Kaito - no, Hiro, had been his sworn friend and look how that turned out.

"Perhaps 'close acquaintances' would be a better term."

Half-shot down, but Daichi didn't seem to let it get to him except for a bit more levity of his grin. In fact, Yamato's response made him laugh a bit in cheerful amusement.

"'Close acquaintances' it is, then. I think I can deal with that."
drakenguard: (do you even have a brain)

[personal profile] drakenguard 2013-05-19 09:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Yamato gave him a small nod of acknowledgement, before turning to look at the disasterous scene before them once more. Hm...

He slowly climbed to his feet, rubbing the back of his neck with a grimace. "After this sort of eventful night..." he muttered to himself, dropping his hand. "Daichi, are you hungry?"

You know, he hadn't really thought about it until Yamato brought it up, but--

"Aaaugh, are you kidding! I'm starving...!" He brought his hands back to clutch his stomach as he groaned. OK, he may have been being a bit overdramatic here. But still, getting kidnapped and being firetruck vigilantes really took a lot out of you!
drakenguard: (small smile)

"Then our interests align. Let's see if there is an open food store that hasn't been smashed to pieces yet," Yamato suggested.
hetried: (pic#6133678)

[personal profile] hetried 2013-05-19 10:54 pm (UTC)(link)
At any other time, Daichi would probably think about what a weird offer that was, coming from Yamato of all people(give him a while to get used to it, OK?). But now was certainly not the time for that! On the contrary, instead Daichi looked back up from overdramatically clutching his stomach and sprang up to his feet with exuberance.

"Haha, you got it! There's all sorts of great places in Virgo, I'm sure they're still up and running!"
