onikui_tengu: (go away!)
[BZZZZAP!] Tch. It still--...

What?!

[The sound of water sloshing around like large ocean waves is picked up over the receiver, with Haruka struggling to fight against the tide; or the water barrier, as the case may be.

The communicator falls to the floor with a clatter, and apart from a loud muffled cry of frustration... a heavy silence fills the air.
]

WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?!

[Well, at least for a little while.]

[[As part of Sunao's chip event, Haruka will be trapped inside of the water barrier for 7 hours. It is currently located near Rooms 103-105 in Mariner High School.]]
onikui_tengu: (just not in the mood)
This world is called "Fortuna."

A brand new world. Not just a broken city.

Yet you can only go so far until you get knocked down, injured, stricken by disease or killed here. Starved, brutally ripped apart by monsters, crushed or left helpless without a cure...

Even birds can't fly in the sky with total freedom. Because the sky we see everyday might as well just be an illusion. You can only go so high before you're forced back down to the ground.

Being stuck here is like being trapped inside of a rusted steel cage every single day.

[...]

...this city irritates me.
onikui_tengu: (Haruka/Kantarou - you idiot)
[BZZZZAP!] -tei!

[The communicator fumbles out of the pocket of Haruka's trousers and onto the floor with a clatter.] Che. Again?

Again! [There is a thud, like a fist hitting a table.]

[...] What?

We'll continue until I win. Now, pick a card.

Click here for more! [Not an IC cut] )

[There's an audible twitch.] You little--... You did that on purpose, didn't you? [The next card is picked with much reluctance.] ...what the hell? This is the joker!

MWAHAHAHA! You got the Old Maid! Ahahaha!

That's because you made me pick it, you cheating asshole!

You won all the other games! I was tired of losing!

[[ooc On one cold winter day, a man and a tengu decide to play some children's card games. Special thanks to Kantarou's mun for the cooperative post. ♥]]
onikui_tengu: (unknowing glance)
[There is a pause, though Haruka can be heard humming thoughtfully in the background as he examines the karasu tengu mask he received for Halloween.]

... Oi, Kantarou.

You can have this. I have no interest in holding onto it.

[...] I still don't trust eating this thing. What is it, anyway? It's orange.

Hm. About before... Don't people usually appear on those boxes when they start to work like that? Nothing happened this time. Though the air felt different... I'm surprised that I didn't see any youkai appear.

...and what was that scream? I have a bad feeling about this.

[...] I wonder if Bonten predicted that he would be returning home soon through his Heaven's Net.

[[ooc Strikes = thoughts/unhackable]]
onikui_tengu: (serious minded)
[BZZZZAP!] Urgh... Damn!

[He grunts, reeling an arm back as he's tempted to throw his communicator up against the closest wall.] ... Hmph. [But that's not going to happen. At least not today.]

[Text]

Forget it. I have a question.

Since when have people started freezing in place with no memory of it?

Just what the hell is going on?

[[ooc Haruka saw what you did there, Rolo.]]
onikui_tengu: (shocked)
[BZZZZAP! The communicator emits its periodic shock. A transmission is coming through and it is fiercely smacked away by a hand, where it tumbles across the floor only to end up on its side.]

Ugh...

[In that small view, one can see that the room has been entirely wallpapered with ofuda. Nothing more than a mass of paper and ink. But that's not all. Among the sounds of the jingling scales (and there are quiet a few of them in this room), Haruka can be seen crouched down on the floor. Obviously anguished by something unknown, if not in pain.]

S-... stop it...

[Slowly, he pushes himself up to stand on his feet, breathing harshly and trying not to look up at the walls. Almost deliberately. He brings a hand to his mouth, sounding as if he is going to be sick.]

You bastard...!

[When he finally looks up, his eyes look as if they've changed from their calm hue to something more predatory. Even his teeth look slightly more sharpened when he speaks, as raw electricity can be heard crackling around him.]

DISAPPEAR!

[Suddenly a powerful shock of thunder rips through the room in a bright flash and a jingling from the rings of his shakujou. The view of the room disappears in this light, until--a few seconds later--only Haruka can be seen holding onto his staff among a scattering of black feathers that disappear like illusions. The walls are scorched and blackened. Burned as if they've been sliced apart by a lightening bolt.

Wearily, he looks up.
] An... illusion?

Heh. Stop... screwing... [He starts to topple over.] ...around. [THUD.]

[[ooc Haruka just got a taste of his own medicine forgotten memories, compliments of the Medicine Seller's chip event. Expect a delay in any tags as he's not going to be feeling so hot.]]
onikui_tengu: (go away!)
[Click. The video feed is bumped on haphazardly, as if something fell on top of it and was quickly picked itself back up. ...or maybe it hopped?

There is a soft jingle, and the camera pans up to what looks like Haruka trying to sleep in a chair near one of the hospital beds while the acid rain can be heard falling outside. His eyes are closed, head resting against his hand with one of the arms propped up, and his jacket has been slung over the back of the chair.

Unknowingly, a fairly good-sized gathering of scales have made their way over to the sleeping tengu. Hopping, tipped toward him and spinning around without him being all the wiser. They are lined up the floor, the bed and the chair... whereever there is room for them.

They carry on, until his brow furrows and he lets out a grumble as a few start to ascend his arm. Then his eyes sudden snap open, and he violently shakes them off.
]

AAAGH! Will you just get out of here already! Go bother someone else!
onikui_tengu: (so many questions left unanswered)
[The transmission cuts in to the sound of shifting fabric and a lone pair of footsteps hitting along the asphalt. It must have turned on in one of his jacket pockets by accident.

Out patrolling the streets, there isn't much else to be heard past the occassional breeze or the distant howl of one of the wild wolves.

Suddenly, he stops. His breath hitches, and his fist comes slamming down against the side of an abandoned building with an audible WHUMP.

After a few seconds, a bit of crumbling rock can be heard falling to the ground, and the walk continues on until the feed times out.
]
onikui_tengu: (I've had enough of this!)
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.

[The frequency is promptly switched off.]
onikui_tengu: (Haruka/Kantarou - master of monster)
The messages in the high school... they've disappeared. No one tried to scrub them away, because there are no markings left behind.

[...]

The revivals... they're chosen. With the ghosts that were wandering through the city, how many of you noticed it?

There had to be a time when death stopped for us. Because they weren't so lucky. It's no wonder that they were acting so restless.

onikui_tengu: (oni-kui tengu)
Hm... They must have taken him back. To that Dark Realm he spoke of before.

It's a strange feeling. When they take away the ones who are this close to you.

Private to Kantarou; Hackable )
onikui_tengu: (chibi!Haruka - argh!)
[BBBZZAP! Haruka lets out a angry growl, tossing the communicator to one side. It clatters noisily onto the floor.]

Dammit, it wasn't supposed to-- [Stomping around] Aaah! I hate how messed-up this place is! I can remember pouring that tea with enough leaves in it to give it taste, but it ended up just hot water that day when I could finally go back to work!

[Muttering, he goes to pick his communicator back up. The audio mode is switched off with an audible click.]

I'm fine. I just thought that would have more time. Geh. Usually that sensation isn't so unpleasant.

Of course as soon as I am free to go out, another murder makes the city unsafe to travel alone in. If I had them back, I wouldn't give a damn.

[[ooc Aack! I didn't realize that so much time had passed! orz]]
onikui_tengu: (just not in the mood)
[Something can be heard rolling, like a plastic bead across the floor. It continues for awhile, before abruptly stopping as it is scooped up by a hand.]

Dropped it.

...

It's too quiet... Who would have thought that I'd be able to get the one thing I've always wanted most out of everything.

Hm. Sometimes honesty can have its uses after all.
onikui_tengu: (chibi!Haruka - stare)
[A thump can be heard as Haruka gives the TV a light smack.] It's still broken. I told you that it would be pointless.

...and would you stay away from me?!

[Text]

Shinjiro, stay down. I never knew many people who believed that getting knocked out was the best and only way for someone to get any rest until I met you. Sorata and I will be able to help manage the bar while you're recovering.

...It seems that I avoided enough of the disasters this time. It won't make me feel that my luck in this world is about to change, however. Maybe.

Kantarou, we still need to find a day to go fishing before something else decides to happen.

[[ooc Haruka is yelling at Watari, who may or may not be trying to attack him with some measuring tape. (I hope that's okay, mun.)]]
onikui_tengu: (oni-kui tengu)
Human beings... I forgot how fragile their lives can be.

And yet... Hmm.

[He breathes out a sigh, and carefully leans back on the old roof. It lets out a soft creak of metal.]

...

Now that I take a good look at them, even the stars are all wrong.
onikui_tengu: (weak and wounded)
[A heavy metal door creaks open, and Haruka can be heard shambling out.]

Ah... It hurts...

[He takes a step backwards, bumping hard into a wall and the communicator falls onto the ground with a clatter. The camera is switched on in an upview by accident. He can be seen standing up uneasily and pressing a hand against his skull, as if in pain.]

No... Stop...

Don't!!

[He falls to his knees, panting and his eyes open wide in shock. He is sweating badly, and breathing heavily.] Ah... Ah... .....!!

[Suddenly, he turns his head slowly to the side, before his eyes widen. Once again, he holds his head with his hands, as if trying to shut something out.] Ugh...

Shut up!!

[He yells outs, holding onto his head while his eyes gain a crazed and desperate look.]

SHUT UP!! Just shut the fuck up!!

[Huff] That's right... Just keep quiet... I...

[He quickly stands up, moving out of view. There is silence, but the video of the communicator experiences more visual static than before, even if it's just a view of the sky.]

What's wrong?

It was you... It was you who taught me this... Fuji...


[[ooc Haruka just experienced a flash of his memories in the form of the ghostly vision of Fuji, his previous master who had sealed him away. He is unharmed, but very traumatized. Feel free to talk to tag him, but he probably will be reluctant to answer and won't be coming back to the high school or the Northern Lights anytime soon.]]
onikui_tengu: (injured pride)
[There is the sound of a distant cackle, as well as some running. But he's not running from the sound, but toward it. A few steps can be heard more slowly, along with some quiet panting.]

What... the hell is--

[He gasps. Something he didn't expected just showed up. Oh crap.]

It can't be! That's-- [Haruka gets cut off by the sound of a laser beam cutting through the air.]

Aaaah!

[...]

Nngh... This is...! [Something crackles, and his communicator is dropped onto the ground, not followed long after by his shakujou.]

You bastard!

[Soon his voice is completely cut out, and the transmission is left open until finally timing out after a few minutes.]

[[ooc Hey, Shinjiro! Guess who isn't making it to work today? Haruka has been turned into a statue after being hit by Vaati's curse, and will be unable to move or talk. But he can still hear, so feel free to leave any comments. It can be found on Ingles Trail, close to Mariner High School and the intersection of Lander Boulevard.]]
onikui_tengu: (ridiculous.)
These plants... Why are they growing in such strange places anyway?

If they are able to shock and burn anyone who won't follow this idiotic tradition, then they're far from normal.

In any case, I don't care who was put up to this. If I have to take damage for not following up on something like this, then so be it. I'm not that afraid of getting shocked anyway.

...

Hm. Oi. Which one of you is called Fai?

[Switches over to voice mode. The following is spoken in Japanese.]

The scientists have ways of taking people away just as easily as they are brought here...

Kantarou, it seems that you are the only one between us who is able to see youkai now. Watanuki Kimihiro has disappeared from this world as well.
onikui_tengu: (take it all back)
These damn trees are starting to piss me off...

You may be in hiding right now, but that still doesn't give me any less of a reason to kill you for what you've already done, Sakurazuka Seishirou.

I'm not going to let anyone else fall before my eyes again. Especially not at the hands of a disgusting human like you.

Private to Kantarou; Hackable )

[Switches over to voice mode. The following is spoken in Japanese.]

Doumeki...? Komachi...?

[...]

Che. [There is a loud slam, accompanied by a jingle from the rings on his shakujou.]

Stop screwing around!
