DAIGO

[wild_romance]

RAFAL 🐉 MAGIC PRACTICE

[wild_romance]

[ He manages to navigate his way to Amberfall, which was a pretty solid accomplishment in and of itself. Good thing he has some practice being dumped into strange towns and needing to find his way around in a hurry. He's gone on the run enough times to get the idea. It's a more pleasant experience when the local area expects confused outsiders, and can actually be prevailed upon for help. Unlike the average Japanese citizen who doesn't want anything to do with his yakuza bullshit.

In general, it's a fascinating change of pace that no one really cares that he's gokudo. It's been a mark on him his entire life and now it's just... nothing. It's an odd, melancholy realization.

But it helps him out as he's asking about how to sign up with the guild. Not an eyelash batted.

He's all ready by the time Rafal shows up. The magic business is definitely going to be the biggest challenge of the day, and Daigo takes a deep breath for it. Humility is how you learn. ]

Hey, thanks for coming.

[nilhilistic]

[ rafal shrugs. his oath meant helping others so he sought to fulfil it. he's never taught magic before to someone who didn't know but the principle should be the same. ]

Of course. It was no difficulty.

[wild_romance]

[ It's the kind of thing Daigo would say, it's bemusing for him to be on the other side of it. When was the last time he was even really allowed to express ignorance on a topic? He couldn't do that too openly in front of his men, unless it involved introducing a new accountant or hacker. ]

So, where do we start?

NEL 🐉 TEMPLE RUN

[wild_romance]

[ Much like the Dragon of Dojima himself, Daigo finds it difficult to keep his nose out of a situation. When the word was put out for people to bring supplies to escape the temples, he clearly had to do his part.

Which then turned his attention to the temple itself. He's not terribly qualified for Legends of the Hidden Temple, but he has escaped a trap filled room before in his life. And he's very good with a gun. So after a moment spent with his mouth quirked in uncertainty, he determined that he would regret not trying.

He manages for a while in the first level, before stepping on a trap at low health and being teleported back to the entrance while he is still groaning. It's better than dying, but the damage is not the most pleasant.

But pain and adrenaline make his focus tighten. He's invested now and shakes it off before striding back through to the entrance to the first area.

He finishes the first area, and levels up the laser gun, and makes it half-way into the second before a new enemy type takes him out and he's teleported back to base again.

He goes to sit down for a minute before he tries again. His bangs are damp on his forehead with sweat, gaze intent. He glances around the entranceway, looking curiously at who else has come to try this out...

Oh, hadn't Rafal introduced that one as his sister? Daigo raises a hand in hello. ]

My turn to be super late.

[nelinquish]

[Nel had been curious as to what was going on in here. There she stood watching and taking in the room for a while now. She had noticed when people were teleported back and then seemed to continue on.

Well, Daigo had ended up coming back a few times and each time he looked a little more intent. When he finally noticed her, she nodded quietly to him slowly moving over.]

I was wondering if there may be some type of difficult situation up ahead. You have come back numerous times.

man september was just like that (sweats)

[wild_romance]

Ah.

[ He nods, a little distracted as his mind continues to churn over the last level. ]

It's an interesting... training ground? I suppose you could call it. There are enemies up ahead, and they reset if you fail to finish a floor.

VASH 🔫 STUPID FISHING

[wild_romance]

[ The initial message was to get together on the riverside. While Daigo is certainly capable of just hanging out quietly and fishing, he might also be interested to talk to his gun friend about guns. He has a new one in his arsenal that somewhat intimidates him with its capabilities, but does give him a leg up in a strange world full of magic.

Regardless, since he invited, he takes the time to acquire some fishing rods and some folding chairs along the banks of Prism Lake. He waves a hello. ]

Hey, thanks for coming. Turns out the teahouse wants some fresh fish for their event.

god SUCH stupid fishing

[bountyfull]

You're thanking me?

[ He sounds a little incredulous, but it's all in good humor as he exhales a laugh, his hands settled on his hips. ]

I'm not making any guarantees I'll be a lot of help. I'm kind of new to the fishing thing.

[ It comes from being from a planet that has no water, honestly. He's been here for a few months, and he's still finding things and new experiences almost every week. ]

So what kind of way did you want to show me?

(my perpetual death 🙃 )

[wild_romance]

[ He doesn't wear that laser gun on his person the way he does with his old familiar handgun, it's in a carry case. He squats down to open it up. ]

I wouldn't really recommend fishing this way... However, I would also rather test the exact intensity of the settings on something like fish.

[ Versus any of the other residents. He turns a dial on the fantasy laser gun, and its neon colors change from red to yellow, sparks popping along the barrel. ]

But I might also fry the whole lake.

[ It's not the kind of reach he's used to having, and it feels silly. ]

EREN 🥃 OVER A DRINK

[wild_romance]

[ The bar is called the Lazy Owl Hideout, a very comfortable and quiet Autumn-themed establishment in one of Nightwake's small neighborhoods. Nightwake's modernity remains more comfortable to Daigo than out in the segments, so he has taken his apartment here while learning to navigate the rest of the area at a slower pace. Daigo looks much like his picture, although well-dressed in person. He has the look of a businessman, although to someone with a discerning eye is clearly yakuza: slicked back hair and a gold chain around his neck. Most people in Nightwake do not have that discernment, which is an interesting experience. He has always been the yakuza son, he has never gone anywhere that did not whisper about him.

His smile at Eren's arrival is friendly. More obvious in person, he has a reassuring and warm charisma. ]

Nice to see you.

[dreamsofwings]

[ Eren doesn't go to bars much because he doesn't do normal social things, whoops. He hasn't been much of a person for so long that the slide back to trying to pretend to be normal has been strange and slow. But it's not a big deal. He wants to be here. It's hard to know what someone's like over text, after all.

Eren's main picture on the Sinder app isn't really contrived, so he looks pretty much the same. He has a sort of blank distance to him, a holdover from not being able to always live in the present. Still, he's here now. He doesn't smile, like he doesn't remember how, but he appreciates Daigo's charisma. He has no frame of reference for yakuza; Daigo doesn't look like other people he's spent time with so far, but there are so many worlds he has no idea about.

He's aware he probably makes the worst first impression but whatever! He showed up on time, that's how it is for now. ]

Nice to see you too.

[ He slides into his seat. He's been a soldier since he was a kid, which probably shows in his posture and movements. ]

You didn't wait long, right?

september was a bad time, apologies!

[wild_romance]

Not at all.

[ He is watching Eren without being obvious about it. He calmly accepts what is presented to him, even as he takes note of this or of that. In his line of business, Daigo encounters many troubled individuals. ]

Have you been out in Nightwake much?

[ He can guess the answer, but it's always preferable to let someone express themselves rather than assume. ]

EREN 🌰 POKEPARK

[wild_romance]

[ He is sitting back on a bench watching his little chespin friend hop around a children's playset when his gaze catches on someone who looks distantly familiar. The years swim in his mind as he tries to place it.

Daigo Dojima looks a little... older than the last time Eren saw him. There is some grey taking root at his temples, and there is a certain weariness that is heavier in his motions now. As much as Daigo mostly tries to take Ellipsa for the separate opportunity it is, those three years when he returned to Japan were quite emotionally draining. When hasn't his life with the yakuza been emotionally draining? ]

Eren.

[ That was his name, wasn't it? ]

V

[summonere]

SAYA 🕷️🔞 INTAKE

[summonere]

[ The club's name is the Dark Fantasy, and it is assuming at its street front, just like all the other businesses in this district. The primary lounge is dimly lit, with dark wood floors and a velvet seating areas. The music is just a touch loud, but it is otherwise a pleasantly languid atmosphere. He is easy to spot, there are few creatures quite like him. His outfit is androgynous, in slinky layers of black. His lantern sways in lazy time with the music, and his black eyes blink up at her upon entry. ]

Hello.

[ He doesn't get up. ]

[sangreine]

[ Saya isn't any ordinary vampire, she's a Queen. And she carries herself as such as she walks into the club; not quite like she owns the place, she's polite enough about it, but projecting the very picture of confidence. Her own clothes are simpler, a backless "little black dress" and tall black boots. She's on her way to work, so has on makeup that is a bit more dramatic, shimmering smoky eyes and deep red lips. ]

[ She's unnaturally pretty, which should come as no surprise. She offers a politely warm smile. ]

Good evening, V. May I sit? I don't believe I gave you my name -- I'm Saya.

september was a bad time apologies

[summonere]

[ There's a pernicious demon spark in him that wonders what it would be like to fight a vampire queen. He gestures to the seat alongside him. ]

Saya. Please.

[ His many black eyes catch the dim lighting as he considers her. ]

Tell me about yourself. What games do you like to play?

[ It's the simplest place to start. ]

Passion Flare

[passionade]

NICK 🦊 BREAD DINOS

[passionade]

[ Stealth is not one of the Enduring Blade's better qualities. In the desert sun, the spirit glitters and gleams, casting rainbows all about her. She's very beautiful and otherworldly, but this does not necessarily invite her targets to approach her. She has wrapped a scarf around her head and her hair, but there is always some little exposed bit that gleams in the sunlight and sends the Bread Dinos scurrying off all over again.

Nick Wilde will find her sitting on a boulder looking out at the milling pastry experts with a very thoughtful purse to her lips. ]

[wilde_card]

[Nick also had accepted the quest to look into the bread dinos, but had spent much of his time getting info on them. One of the benefits of being able to blend in without much trouble is that the bread dinos don't even notice him. He's left the flashy sunglasses and other similar items at home.

Who does stand out is the beautiful girl with the blindingly bright gleam, and one look between her and the bread dinos makes it abundantly clear what the issue is. With the same sneakiness that had served him well back home, he pops up near her, looking out at the bread dinos.]

Having trouble not standing out, I see.

SAYAKA 🫐 BERRY MAYHEM

[c_zacatechichi]

[ Fela has wandered her way into the cherry blossom parks where she admires the ever-flowering trees as they blow in the wind. She has a perpetually drowsy look on her face and deep stains around her eyes. She also has a rather substantial entourage of little woodland creatures, a couple of capybara, and a floating pink pokemon. She seems to be listening to them rather intently as they explain the Bearries to her. She looks up with curiosity, and spots a small assembly of such fruit bears off at a distance.

She begins to approach them. ]

[amazingintuition]

[Sayaka is not the type who can simply befriend animals. That was Makoto's thing. But she's always wanted to try. The fairy bunnies had showed her that she could learn to do it - just find what they enjoy eating, and go from there.

However, Bearries... were bears. Big, lumbering, scary. Plus, they remind her of a certain other evil bear... these are at least cute, though.

She nearly walks right into one of the animals in Fela's entourage, before catching herself and apologizing intently to the animal in question. Which is about when she catches sight of the beautiful Fela, and boy if she wasn't intent on seeing this mission though, she might faint on the spot. But she's composed, and she follows - not too closely, but enough to see how she's going to handle these bears. And also maybe get a closer look at the woman. (Look, she likes to appreciate, okay.)]
