Comments

[samuraiwomen]

Are you a gangster...?

[ Maybe people want her dead...no comment at the helpfully malicious Sou in the corner. Evacuate without panicking...sure. Why is he so smug whenever he's right. She's not going to say thank you! ]

I guess I still want raman. [Clamor is taking care of comforting Narumi, so Sara She gestures off towards a road. ] How close is this place? Should I call a cab?

[ Manifesting her dad's wallet into her pocket through sheer force of will. ]

[notsosou]

...your parents don't happen to have loans, do they?

[It's strange they'd take an interest, really... to this extent, at least, given Narumi's house and general state of life. Then again, he got put in a game of literal mafia so can he really throw stones in his own one.

Maybe he's approaching this the wrong way. It's his mind they're in, after all, which is why they... probably don't have to worry about the other people in the building. People being out to get you, kill you, being on a timer... it's a worryingly familiar feeling. A lot of it has been, really. He tries to tamp down his own sudden spike of paranoia about any cab they get also exploding, thinking about this was a bad idea actually why did he do it.]

City center, right? [He remembers that much.] Since it's stopped raining... it'd be cheaper to get the bus or train.

[Sparing... Sara's dad's wallet a bit. Not that it really needs it, but if they do find the others that's nine people getting ramen potentially.]

[adsum]

[ Narumi gives that awkward sort of "I don't want to talk about this" smile and refuses to make eye contact with anybody because sometimes you can't help your lot in life. You just have to do your best not to think about who else in town would give you loans enough for a new car and another home because that sort of thinking makes the soul feel dreary. ]

The bus stop is this way...

[ He heads off the direction Sara was pointing to lead the way to the bus stop. It's about three blocks over and it's just a sign with no bench and they get to stand there for several long minutes before realizing that the bus only comes every hour or so if they're lucky, or maybe it's stopped running for the night if they're not.

Are we really going to the restaurant, you guys, we can time skip to the restaurant ]

[sunstead]

[yes we are going to have a nice dinner together and it will be pleasant and nothing bad will happen!!!!!

as soon as the bus shows up

assuming it. can show up, how close are they to the city... can Clamor sense a massive stasis hex off in the distance...]

[adsum]

[ They are on the outskirts and the restaurant pretty far but they could walk to it if they want to walk for two hours, Clamor can stare out into the distance and go "wow it sure is still and quiet" and maybe spot a bird frozen in midair ]

[samuraiwomen]

[ ....

.................................................................

Bus sure is taking a long time. ]

Clamor, I want a horse.

[adsum]

[ ...

looks over at Clamor ]

I want my dog back.

[ if he's taking requests ]

im crying

[sunstead]

[WHY IS HE TAKING REQUESTS]

Ahaha... it sure would be nice if we could find them! [okay but how the fuck do you expect him to get a HORSE sara]

A horse would probably be faster... er, when is this bus supposed to get here again?

[samuraiwomen]

I want it to be a magic horse.

[ So summon it. The way a guy stealing Clamor's body and setting a bunch of people on fire and causing chaos gave everyone super high expectations for his magical ability. ]

You can find his dog next.

[notsosou]

[Wait just let him get up and check the timetable real quick.]

Says it comes every hour... [What time is it actually, he misses having a phone. He pats his pockets and somehow manifests it and it says the time is... noon. : /] Besides, we'd need four magic horses right?

[He is both intrigued by and dreading the concept of Clamor summoning horses because he... how do you even ride one. How do you even get on top of one. How tall is a horse actually.]

[sunstead]

[just. stares at her for a solid ten seconds like what do you think i am, a wizard?? (...wait)]

Oh, sure! Let me just wave my hands around and call upon the mythical Phantom Steed, I'll even throw in a carriage that can fit everyone!

[waving his hands around, making some fancy magical sparkles and constellation effects like oooo look at how amazing this totally real spell is!!!!!

nothing is going to happen so he's not even gonna bother turning around to face the road,] See? Magic can't solve all your problems. I'm not a miracle worker...

[commences]

BEEP BEEP BEEP

[adsum]

[ ...Satou... ]

Where is my gun?

[samuraiwomen]

[ Clamor...she was so excited :( Magic is dead... she's been tricked this isn't a horse at all. ]

Here. [ She's not a bad person if she enables Narumi chasing Komeada down with a gun. It's fine. He'll probably survive....its fine. She just wants to see what happens. Its fine. ]

[adsum]

Thank you.

[ cocks the gun ]

[notsosou]

I guess... it's close enough?

[Maybe Clamor is running low on magic after healing him and a bootleg is all he could get. Guess who also is here in Team Popcorn. He'll just be standing behind Narumi, though.]

[sunstead]

[he hears the beeps and doesn't even wanna turn around what the fuck

but he will actually turn around once Narumi gets handed his gun back, because hello??? who are we fighting??? then he sees it's Komaeda and considers just letting this play out........










okay no someone here has to be responsible

he hastily puts a hand over Narumi's, trying to make him at least lower the gun before someone else gets shot]

It's fine! That's a... a friend of ours. [he called Komaeda a friend, feels cursed] Komaeda, what are you doing here? Where are the others?

[LUCIFER YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO KEEP EVERYONE SAFE]

[commences]

Oh, you want to play instead?

( komaeda saw narumi's gun, so he brings out his own gun, which he'll have pointing out the window —

...

...

he shoots, because he thinks this is a fun little game of russian roulette — the gun goes off, but the bullet barely misses, and if the stasis hex is off.. and someone is walking behind shin and narumi then.....

...

...

well, anyway... )

...Oh? Lucifer-kun took Adams-san to the great above... sighs, you know how it is... fly high angels, and things like that.

( ... )

Goto-kun has his soul ( points gun at narumi to specificy him ) trapped in their body, and we stole a dog along the way... oh, anyone hungry? We passed a ramen shop not too long ago.

[samuraiwomen]

A-ack!

[WHO GAVE KOMEADA A GUN???? Narumi, Narumi you have to shoot him now. Why did she hand the gun to him SHE wants to fire the gun! Oh she wants to unload that entire pistol into his stupid toyota right now.

Sara is going to summon her meager, baseless hope that Lucifer would not kill anyone after they'd all asked him not to and her much more certain feeling that Komeada is crazy and if Helena was actually dead they'd be stuck hearing a four hour lecture about why they should feel better about it (hope). She's going to summon these feelings so she can ignore the extremely insane concerning things Komeada is saying and focus on the more practical ones.]

Er... if you have his soul who did we invite out to dinner... [ Isn't the whole point that they don't want Narumi's soul in other things. ] Do you think you could wake Hikaru up and have him put it back?

[adsum]

No- Hikaru too?

[ A dognapper and a kidnapper. Clamor, please, this man has got to die. ]

Let them go. If either of them are hurt, I swear to god...

[ bout to commit some sins, nobody look ]

1/2

[notsosou]

[Komaeda lifts his own weapon and-]

2/2

[notsosou]

[-the bullet whizzes between them before he can react, and Shin's going to have difficulty processing the rest of anything Komaeda's saying for a bit. His shoulder burns right now, as do those other sites of past injury.

A scarf arm is just going to try to wind around the barrel of Narumi's gun and slowly push it down to point at the ground before more of this can happen.]

[sunstead]

[why does this keep happening. this is EXACTLY why Lucifer is supposed to be supervising where the FUCK is he—

it is, once again, after the shot is fired but Clamor is still springing up another magical barrier between them and the Toyota Corolla, he sure doesn't trust Komaeda with a gun under any circumstances]

Nagito Komaeda. Put down the gun right now.

Why aren't you with Lucifer and Helena? They should know better than to leave you unsupervised...

[commences]

( not put the gun down... he'll put it down not because he got dad voiced, but because... he doesn't know what to do with a voice like that... never had it in his childhood, but he feels compelled just a little.

...

...

it makes him uncomfortable. )

Chidouin-san, have you heard of alternates? They're beings that look exactly like you, or another person. When faced with one, you have to follow the T.H.I.N.K principle.

( fun fact, but he glances at narumi for a moment, before looking at the expression on shin's face which brings a crooked smile to komaeda's own... and then he frowns when he turns to look at clamor. he appears to look very, very sorry for his actions (but he's not). )

...I told you, they're flying high at the moment. Adams-san noticed something with her ability, and so they went to chase it... I believe in her, considering she did find the first soul piece by explaining it was underground... in a void like area, which Lucifer-kun took Goto-kun to, and that's why they're laying dead.

( he sighs, leaning against the car seat as he puts the gun back in his pocket. )

I can take you to where they went if you're curious.

[carpevinum]

[What's up fuckers here comes a bird and Helena, swooping down from the skies with wingbeats powerful enough to fuck up everyone's hair and ruin your days if you care that much about your hair. Lucifer purposely slaps Komaeda with one of his wings as he lands, just a light thump, don't worry about it.

Setting Helena down with all of their... you know, stuff they took, he takes a very casual glance around the area like he didn't leave Komaeda unsupervised with a whole gun.]

Did we miss much? I'm sorry my hex on the city had to be broken. There was a fire that I had to put out, and I couldn't have my magic drawn so thin.
