四十一 (Text/Voice Post, Japanese)

[onikui_tengu]

It's been happening a lot lately. People being returned to this city from their original worlds. Sometimes with the memories they had before, and some without.

Even I'm not counted out of that number. I can remember where I've been.

But what I want to know is the reason why; not that I expect an answer. Not from the people who would actually have it. ...Why the indecisiveness? Isn't one time good enough for you, Scientists?
Hell. I can't tell if this is something you do out of convenience, or if all you are doing is laughing at all of us.

[...]

What about you, Hunter? This must be convenient for you. You don't have to look far to find your prey anymore. ...Che.

Perhaps they brought me back because when I was previously here, I was only around for two or three days.

Maybe we all have a purpose to fulfill here... and they bring people back as they need them?

I've been wondering why I've been brought back, myself. I don't have any magic to aid anyone. It seems a bit strange, to say the least.

Wait, so are you saying that you're not actually thrilled I'm here again, and wish I'd go home again? That I'd never returned here at all? [He starts off whining but gets more and more amused.] But what about our friendship, Haru! What about our deep bond?

Or are you just afraid that I'll leave your side again?

[kaenmajin.livejournal.com]

There may not be a true reason... perhaps the methods are at fault.

Then how much time will they need until they are satisfied? I could care less about what they want from us.

Ask anyone, and they will barely know the reason why we are even brought to this world in the first place. Let alone a second time. You can try it and see what I mean for yourself.

All I know is that I keep ending up with more questions than answers.

.....

[onikui-haruka.livejournal.com]

That's not it!

You are so damn irritating!

[onikui-haruka.livejournal.com]

There's no proof either way.

But what is broken can always be fixed with the right tools.

[onikui-haruka.livejournal.com]

Yes?

[Voice/Japanese]

[loyal_cube]

Most people don't know what they're purpose is. If the "scientists" in charge have a well thought out plan, they probably get what they want without us even being aware. ["Like how Satan-sama always makes things work without letting anyone know."]

What kinds of questions do you have?

[kaenmajin.livejournal.com]

Yes. Only speculation.

If those tools are within one's grasp...

[Voice/Japanese]

[onikui-haruka.livejournal.com]

I don't like being used.

About this world, and how it came to be like this... how the people that ordinary human cannot see came to be stuck wandering aimlessly between life and death. How memories and lives are controlled... There are plenty.

[onikui-haruka.livejournal.com]

Until there comes a day when it will be more than just that. If it ever happens.

I'd be more annoyed to think that I was the result of someone's "oops."

[kaenmajin.livejournal.com]

On that day, what will you do?

Yet this 'experiment,' if it is one, feels poorly handled. There is little control over what happens here, though perhaps it's intentional.

[Voice/Japanese]

[loyal_cube]

I suppose I said that in a wrong way. My apologizes.

I'm unfamiliar with this world and this city. Are you talking about unsettled spirits? That's so sad.

[boy-fatality.livejournal.com]

The reasons... I can't think of any logical explanation, but that doesn't mean there isn't one.

You sound really troubled.

[Voice/Japanese]

[onikui-haruka.livejournal.com]

It's not something you need to apologize for. ...It's the truth.

Yes, I am. Even after being here for as long as I have, there is still a lot that I don't know either.

[onikui-haruka.livejournal.com]

Then I will have fewer questions, won't I?

Either way, I don't particularly like being used for anyone's purposes that aren't my own.

[onikui-haruka.livejournal.com]

That's about the most that I can reason from this myself.

Do I...?

[boy-fatality.livejournal.com]

I wish I knew. I have the feeling the key to these questions has been staring us in the face, hidden in plain sight.

...You do.

[onikui-haruka.livejournal.com]

If that is really how it is, then you wouldn't be the only one to be played the fool, Tachibana-san.

I am feeling uneasy. I do not know what will be the outcome of the battle ahead.

...The one between Testament and his Hunter.

[kaenmajin.livejournal.com]

Ah, you think so...often, an important answer will raise more questions.

Few do. Yet there is much to be learned here, from the people and the city itself. I don't regret my own time here.

[shockinglycool.livejournal.com]

There's no need to be shy. [Laaaaaugh]

[boy-fatality.livejournal.com]

That doesn't make it any better.

That's... up to them now. Both seem to stubbornly insist on wanting to kill the other, so perhaps letting them know first hand the futility of their fight will at least lessen some of the animosity.

[Voice/Japanese]

[loyal_cube]

This city gets creepier the longer I stay... unlike anything I've seen before.

I know you have many questions, but what DO you know about this city?
