Day 374 | Action | Open
Backside of the TV

[You're in a maze. It might be a sauna, hot and muggy and thick with steam. Or maybe it's a strip club, dark with violet curtains covering the walls and secret corners with music pounding through the air and whispers you can't quite make out as you wander the corridors. Maybe you're in what looks like a video game with blocky, artificial looking dungeon walls and floors. Or perhaps it's a secret base like you'd see in an action movie, the kind with sliding blast doors and scaffolding to climb around on. Maybe your maze is beautiful, like a fairy tale, or the way a child would imagine heaven, full of clouds and flowers and somehow heartbreakingly sad.

You can wander around whichever maze you find yourself in. Maybe you'll stay there, maybe they all begin to blur together and you find yourself drifting from one to another as you explore the hallways. They all have one thing in common though; they're full of Shadows, dark monsters that you can sneak past or fight. Probably fight, since Kanji is with you every step of the way, folding chair sling easily over his shoulder and looking for some action. He's wearing a pair of glasses, and you may notice you have a pair on, too. Pick whatever style you'd like, but if you take them off your surroundings will be lost in a fog that makes your head hurt. Try not to get lost in it.]

[ Well this is certainly bizarre. Ichiru doesn't seem like he gets what's going on here with all the strange architecture and otherworldly vibes he's getting.

Of course, wearing a pair of glasses in itself was oddly strange. He did take off momentarily but it was a bad choice to even do that. Eventually he puts it back on and notices there's a young man that he's never met before walking alongside him.

It's never too late to ask questions right? ]


Pardon me, but can you explain to me what exactly is going on here?

[ He doesn't want to ask about the folding chair that the guy has. Ichiru had a sword himself but details. ]

Oh, yeah. We're in the TV world. [Maybe the fact that it's a dream makes it feel like that's a sufficient explanation. Or maybe Kanji just isn't the brightest when it comes to this sort of thing. You might have to ask more specific questions with him.]

What's up? I'm Kanji. Hey.

The TV World? What is a "TV?"

[ He seems to be a little perplexed by the well lack of explanation. It seemed like this person was fairly used to this thing called the "World" within the "TV." ]

I go by Ichiru. I suppose it's a pleasure to meet you, Kanji...?

[ He muses giving the other another look before continuing. ]

Perhaps you can explain to me the reasoning for why we are here as well as why these glasses seem to be clearer when put on than taken off.

Uhh. [He does not even know how to respond to all that.]

Okay. Umm. Maybe don't worry about the Tv part. Or why we're here. [None of it makes all that much sense anyway.] The glasses let you see through the fog bough, they're pretty cool. Mostly we just come here to explore and rescue people.

[ He's coming from a pretty strange place to begin with. There are things it has that he can recognize, while others he can not. ]

Eh? Wouldn't that be a bit harsh? I'm rather curious on this "TV" and the "World" that is within it. I've never imagined such a plane exists outside of other Worlds.

[ The younger twin merely looks at him in curiosity as the other seemed to be at a loss on how to explain these terms to him. ]

I see, so they're rather specialized? Oh? Rescuing people you say. I'm even more curious on this foreign world.

Strip club (because it's Jack) :-D

It's an unfamiliar setting and he doesn't often dream about those, because frankly he's got plenty of his own memories to set his dreams in normally.

He gazes about him, somewhat bemused, taking in the dark decor, the heavy beat of the music thumping out from somewhere - and Kanji jogging up to him from behind, incongruously carrying a folding chair.

"Kanji?" he asks, confused.

"Yo!" Jack may be confused but Kanji looks happy, like he's taking this in stride no problem. Or like he's glad to be back in a familiar setting. There don't seem to be any Shadows lurking right here so he doesn't mind pausing and lowering his guard a bit to talk. "What're you doin' here?"

[info]foreverjack

He looks round again, still bemused. "I'm not sure. I can't remember how I got here. Where are we?"

It's a dream, so somehow the disconnect of Jack being here and not understanding it doesn't bother him. His brain just accepts it and he explains. "We're in the TV world. I told you about that, right? Where me and my friends go to save people after they get thrown in?" Even seeing it in person it probably still doesn't make a lot of sense.

"Everybody kind of makes their own place in here. Like based on them and their Shadow. This one was Rise's. She's an idol, you know? Risette?" Not really his thing but Yosuke and Teddie are into that kinda stuff. "Her Shadow was all about wanting people to see the real her. This place is about that, too."

"Yeah, you told me about it." Still not sure how he got here (he hasn't realised he's dreaming yet) but at least it makes sense that it's Kanji's world, even if, yeah, he hasn't really got the idea of how this 'TV world' thing actually works.

"Risette's world, right. It looks like a - I don't know - like a strip club?"

Which seems like an odd place to find Kanji, with his self-professed innocence in such areas.

[Yuuri finds himself in a strip club because of course he does. What is his life even? Do you know how hard it is to try and wander around with your hands over your glasses in an unfamiliar place full of monsters? Ask Yuuri! He knows!] We need to get out of here.

It's the TV world. I told you about that, right? Anyway this is the place Rise's Shadow made. She felt like nobody could see her. Not the real her, anyway.

[ He used to like saunas but this is more sauna than anyone actually needs. It's hard to breathe and he can feel trickles of sweat run down his spine, making him tug at his t-shirt to get some air flowing through there. There's something sinister about all this. He can't put his finger on what but maybe Kanji can help. ]

Where are we?

Inside the TV world. [Kanji looks and sounds a little on edge with these surroundings, too. He always hated this one. It's embarrassing even if his own Shadow is long gone. He likes coming back to punch stuff here as hard as he can. That feels good.] This part was what I made.

You got a thing for steam, huh? [ It's a careful sort of statement, followed by a cautious side-eye. They never talked about what happened in the hot spring and for awhile there, Aidan figured it was for the best. ]

Just wish you could tell me what th' hell that was about.

[There are many things that are more frightening than cloudy mazes full of bright scattered light and ornate gates. The creatures in the maze, for example. Nathan tries to stay as small and quiet as possible to avoid attracting their attention.

At least until he sees Kanji and his folding chair. Relief floods through him and he risks moving a little faster and less stealthily to reach his friend. (It's weird to think of anyone as a friend.)]


Kanji? D'you know where we are?

Yo, Nathan. Hey. [Kanji seems to be lacking some of his usual enthusiasm here. Something about this maze in particular almost seems to make him sad.]

Yeah, we're in the TV world I told you about. This part was Nanako's.

[He glances around and shakes his head.] Naw, if any Shadows show up I can fight 'em. This place just kinda bums me out. Nanako's my friend's kid sister. Some creep kidnapped her and threw her in the TV and she was still in the hospital when I got stuck in prison so I dunno if she's okay or not. [He looks around again at the clouds and bright light, so different from all the other places they've fought.] Her mom died awhile ago and we think it looks like this 'cause she wants to see her again.

[It's a good thing all of this stuff about Shadows and going into TVs makes some kind of sense now or that would have been a very confusing answer.]

So... she made it look like heaven because she misses her mom? And was she hurt bad? Nanako, I mean.
