[One (1) whole World Domination Arc over, aaaand...
Well, it'd been a pretty nice few weeks aside from some apparent drama with Reigen. He spent a lot more time on weekends visiting Joshua during that time, and was making an effort to text often. Shigeo wasn't particularly good at the dating thing, but as time passed he was getting more into the whole idea.
At least until a particularly hectic event in Seasoning City. Not much news escapes, but there is a broadcast from a domestic terrorist, apparently the prime minister got kidnapped, and then a giant broccoli grew in the city...
It's a few days after the craziness that Shigeo sends a text.]
[Read: 2:45 pm Okay no, Joshua is not going to do that.]
Of course not. I could never be mad at you. (=^・^=)
[Joshua has no reason to be. Even if there wasn't a ton news about what was happening in Seasoning City, it was enough to guess that something was going down over there. Still, he did miss Shigeo's texts.]
[ Monika huffs as she stands at the shrine. Why is everyone so--so--dumb?
Three years she's been at Yasogami. Three years! And not once has anyone bit. Well, one person did, but they turned out to be a major creep, so that didn't work out. But God! Not even the transfer student would give her the time of day, and he practically had girls crawling over him constantly! Was she cursed to never find love? Especially when she had so much to give?
Like, what was wrong with her? She was popular. She was smart. She was pretty and athletic and everything a person would want! Maybe she came on a little too strongly, but who doesn't? Some of the girls in the school were total skanks, and look what that got them.
Dates! That she didn't ever get!
It's hard not to pout as this runs through her mind. The fox hanging around isn't helping matters, either. He keeps yipping, like he's rushing her. It's making her uncomfortable.
Whatever. She hastily writes her wish on the ema. Please. Please let me find someone to love forever.
With a deep breath, she hangs it up. Maybe this'll work for once. She's desperate.
For lack of anyone else to talk to, she glances over at the fox. ]
[Why is he even here. Tohru Adachi doesn't believe for a second that writing one's wishes here will actually come true. The world isn't a miraculous place like that: if it was, he wouldn't even be stuck out here working this dead-ass job in the boonies. Only fools believe in this working.
And yet... Adachi is just as human as anyone else. And he knows it too. And maybe, given how things have been going lately, what with the police department's biggest case and his own fortunes, perhaps this one instance of optimism is worth embracing. That said, he's not actually sure what to write on the ema here. A transfer that would allow him the cushy position and respect he deserves back in the city? For that Seta kid to have an accident or something that keeps him out of Adachi's affairs? For a cute girl to notice him? That last one gets a slight huff because please, even with his good mood right now, love is still for idiots.
Speaking of cute girls though, there is one here at the shrine, which is surprising. Judging by the attire, she goes to the same school as Seta and his little ragtag group. Easy on the eyes, nice legs... definitely the type Adachi could call good-looking. Makes that Konishi girl look like a sack of potatoes by comparison, now that he thinks about it.
When he hears her speak to the fox however, he can't help but laugh a little from his spot here (seriously, did she think that the fox understood her or had any control over getting her wishes granted), which unfortunately gives away that she wasn't alone here. Whoops.]
Once her mind calms down, she realizes how stupid that is. So she spins around to confront the only other logical explanation. The embarrassing, logical situation. She was talking to a damn fox! What if it's a cute boy, her wish already being granted, but he thinks she's fucking crazy so her wish is actually ruined--
Oh. Never mind.
Monika momentarily squints at the intruder with a frown. He looks vaguely familiar, but she can't quite place why. The town's been so active lately, it's hard to keep up with all the unfamiliar faces wandering around.
Confusion soon gives way to more embarrassment, however, so she wants nothing more than to run off and get home. Monika lowers her eyes and laughs weakly, hating how hot her cheeks feel. At least clutching her school bag makes her feel somewhat better. It's a shield from being judged for weirdness by this guy. ]
S-Sorry, sir. I'll get out of your way!
[ After giving a small, apologetic bow, she shuffles towards the exit. As she walks, she can't help but feel disappointed. She really thought her wish had already been granted. Boo. ]
[Good fucking going Adachi. Quick, try to salvage the situation.]
O--oh no, you're not in our way at all! You don't need to apologize either--if anyone should, it's me for laughing like that. But, ah--I just thought it was kind of cute to see someone talking to the fox here?
[He looks to the fox as if somehow asking it to back him up here. It just gives him a look of displeasure.
... Well fuck you too, fox. We're gonna ignore you then.]
[ Monika comes to a stop. Whoa. Did he call what she did cute? Which means by association, he's calling her cute? No way can she ignore that!
She relaxes a tad, her body becoming less tense. Sure, people give her compliments all the time, but it's hardly ever about anything but her academic skills. It gets so frustrating. ]
I'm...kinda used to talking to animals. I talk to my cat all the time.
[ She smiles sheepishly, gesturing at the fox. ] Besides, it seems pretty nice!
[ Well, aside from that weird look it's currently sporting on its face. Huh. ]
Oh, that's very sweet of you! To talk with your cat, and um, the fox like that. I'm sure it makes them happy, having someone to listen to.
[The fox knows your sins Adachi. Do you really think stepping forward a little so that you don't have to look at it's face will prevent this--okay fine, you do that then.]
[ She laughs with a shrug. ] Honestly, I don't think my cat cares, ahaha. So this was a nice change of pace.
Oh! Um. [ Monika looks down at herself like she somehow needs a reminder of what school she goes to. ] Yeah!
[ She makes a face. ] Sometimes I wish I didn't. Maybe then I wouldn't have to constantly worry about getting kidnapped. But. [ Another laugh, weaker this time. ] Not like I have a choice.
Eliza finally got that weird dimension hopping Pokemon on her side, which meant she and her adopted siblings can finally meet up. That's what she's doing with Recette right now, as far as Zack knows. He actually asked her to drop him off in this particular world for a while to visit an old friend.
Unfortunately, he kind of forgot this particular friend happened to live in a more modern era like he once did, which meant there were probably cops. Not the kind of people he wanted to deal with for a million reasons, but if that hellhole did anything for him it gave him a decent workaround.]
Right... [He took the magical phone from his pocket and opened it up.] This had better fucking work...
[With the touch of a button, he could feel the mana flowing through his body. Bandages gave way to ghostly white skin and black feathers, swirling around him as they changed his body and morphed his grungy hoodie into a tattered hooded dress. The transformation itself was quick and painless, per usual, and soon enough he was left in the magical form of a ghoulish young woman.]
... [He glanced at the people walking past him.] Huh... These guys really can't see me like this.
[Either that, or nobody seemed to notice. Whatever, he liked this form better for the physical boosts than anything. With a couple of steps and a couple of hops, he was rushing across the rooftoos, keeping an eye out for that friend of his. He kind of had an idea of where her school was, but only way he'd know for sure was if she recognized him.
He's sure she would. That girl had a thing for other girls.]
[Eruna has just finished wrapping up a meeting with the After School Paradise club that she leads at Mikagura Academy: herself and her three club members spent today attempting to come up with new methods to recruit more members, as well as consider any new songs they could play next time they get a chance to do so. Seisa-senpai is heading back to her mansion, Otone-chan insisted on cleaning the clubroom, and Bimi-sensei has apparently decided that he actually has teacherly things to do for once, and thus buggered off somewhere.
Which, leaves Eruna on her own, one of the rare occasions when she can be allowed to do her own thing and wander around school or at any of the stores close enough to school that won't get her in trouble. She's sitting on the roof debating what to do with her time--should she go bug one of the other clubs and see if they want to do a club battle? check her high scores at the arcade?--when she spots someone else running across the rooftops nearby. A very familiar looking someone...]
Is that...? Oh my god, no way!!
[Eruna is immediately on her feet, hands cupped around her mouth as she screams out to them.]
ZAAAAACK!! HEYYY!!!
[Which, is probably causing a few students passing by to stare up at where she is with some amount of confusion/annoyance for the amount of noise she's making. Though, some might be used to this from her by now, as no one even yells at her to get down from the roof as she runs over to the edge and waves both arms at her friend to get his attention.]
ERUNA! I'M COMING, I'M COMING! [He smirks as he trots right on up to her. He'd forgotten how fast he could go in this form. It only takes him a few minutes to cross the gaps between rooftops and get to the roof she's standing on.]
WOAH-! [He manages not to get knocked over by the multiverse's thirstiest lesbian... Why is she burying her face in his chest like that? He doesn't know what to make of it... But here's some awkward headpats for the trouble.]
[Eventually, yes, she does let go so that she can step back and get a look at Zack. Even if he was in his normal male form, she would still be happy to see him: despite his former serial killer background, he was a good friend. How strange is that?]
Eh, nothing much. Eliza finally found that world hopping pokemon, so she dropped me off here to see ya. [Truth be told, he never expected to find himself with an actual family and a thirsty schoolgirl lesbian for a friend... Then again, he never expected to get shanghaied to Magical Girl Hell in the first place. It's funny how life works out like that.]
[Said with the most wistful sigh. Not for lack of trying on her part of course, but Seisa-senpai and Otone-chan were not receptive to it, and so far no other girl has been just yet today.]
Since you're here though, we should hang out! Do you wanna like, explore and see the place, do some sparring, play some games or something?
LET'S CONTINUE WHY NOT

Shigeo wasn't particularly good at the dating thing, but as time passed he was getting more into the whole idea.

It's a few days after the craziness that Shigeo sends a text.]
Sorry I forgot to text. A lot happened.
You aren't mad right?
yes, let's!!!
Read: 2:45 pmOkay no, Joshua is not going to do that.]Of course not. I could never be mad at you. (=^・^=)
[Joshua has no reason to be. Even if there wasn't a ton news about what was happening in Seasoning City, it was enough to guess that something was going down over there. Still, he did miss Shigeo's texts.]
Are you alright?
no subject
Claw came back and tried to take over the city
My house got burned down
I saw Mogami again
I grew a giant broccoli on accident
no subject
When I asked if you were alright, I must admit that's not what I was expecting to hear at all. (ノ;≡ω≡)ノ
Do you want to talk about it?
~~旦_(・o・;)
[why does he insist on the emojis even during a conversation like this, it's a mystery]
no subject
The broccoli was good I think, since I grew that instead of exploding.
I still should've told you that I was okay earlier. Nothing bad happened there, right?
no subject
[Or had never really left? In which case, we'll have to look into some things more on our end here...]
Regardless, I'm glad to hear that you're okay now.
no subject
[Genuinely. He was sort of dreading bad news.]
I can get back to normal life.
[After growing a giant broccoli currently being worshipped as a "divine tree"...]
Do you want me to visit this weekend?
no subject
[... Oh wait, he forgot his emotes, hang on:]

MGRP stuff with Zack and Eruna
Eliza finally got that weird dimension hopping Pokemon on her side, which meant she and her adopted siblings can finally meet up. That's what she's doing with Recette right now, as far as Zack knows. He actually asked her to drop him off in this particular world for a while to visit an old friend.

no worries friend
I can't believe you're really here! It's so good to see you, I missed you so, so, so much!!
[and oh my god, the chest that zack has when he's in magical girl form is just as soft as she remembers... I MEAN UH--]
Suprise, picking this up again
Heh... Missed ya too, ya crazy girl.

yayyyyyyyy
