011th Shattering * Audio / Action

[breaks_destiny]

Hmmmm? Where may she have gone~?

[Keiichi's voice filters through the journals. Those who know him will rejoice in noticing that he sounds male again... Until they take notice of the strange tone he talks with. It's not an odd tone in him, it's sweet and playful even, but somehow it holds a cord of danger in it.

His voice sounds distant and there's no image in the journal, seems to have activated on its own and that Keiichi isn't paying attention to it.]

That small and sneaky rat, she has a knack for surviving no matter what, doesn't she? Maybe I should take things seriously, games are fun but I'm already tired of this one. Rats should be exterminated anyway, right? We don't want them biting our good and innocent kids anymore.

[Rummaging sounds, he seems to be looking for something before he moves to the journal. He smiles calmly and relaxed, a normal Keiichi smile... Except that his eyes are gold. But that can't be necessarily bad, right?

He opens his mouth to say something but thinks it better apparently.]

If anyone needs me, I'll be doing a small hunt. Oh, yeah, has everyone regained their senses by the way? Or are you all still having fun with the Malnosso?

[Look who's talking.

Keiichi will be found around the village, apparently searching for something or just observing around. He would look normal, if it wasn't because besides the gold eyes he's dressed in definitively different clothes to what he would usually wear, and somehow in person, it's easy to say there's something... Different in him even if one ignores his appearance.

If your name is Miyoko or Takano it would be wise to stay out of his sight unless you have someone with you.]

[At the moment, Miyoko is actually wandering around the village, slowly trying to move from keeping close to buildings to actually walking out in the open.

Well, attempting to, at least.

At the moment, though, she's near the stores, looking around and occasionally stopping to look through a store window.]

[Stupid little child. Stupid little piece. You should stay close to the buildings, that way they may not fall over you after all. Not that it would help you much though, there are many ways to destroy a piece. Even if it's one who's still nothing but the hints of a pawn.

Whatever did you have to be honored to become such a key piece for Lambdadelta anyway? You're nothing but a scared, crying girl. Even after almost two weeks of warm hospitality and comfort and you still don't feel safe?

Maybe he really should just crash your face against the crystal of the store window... But for the moment he observes. There's always time to kill you, after all.]

[Hey man, she thinks this is a dream world she can fall out of any time. Not that she's told anyone that.

Regardless, after looking through the window of the clothing store, she backs away and starts heading for the next store.

... Except, midway, she stops and looks around. Why does she feel like she's being watched? ... That's weird. Maybe she's just worrying too much ... she's safe here, after all -- right?]

[Action] - uses icons for the old Keiichi for this too because, golden eyes go!

[breaks_destiny]

[Maybe he should help to make this dream world a living nightmare? For her own good, maybe then she would appreciate returning to the orphanage once she does.

Look around all you want, child. You won't see him. For he has teleported and is now floating right in front of her.

Maybe he should just stomp on her or crush her body?]

[Action]

[needs-certainty.livejournal.com]

[... Hm, looks like no one's around ... time to face forward and go back to-- oh hey there.]

... Keiichi?

[... Wait, either he's taller than before or he's ... not ... touching the ground ...]

[Action]

[breaks_destiny]

[Primo shakes his head with a smile, very similar to Keiichi's smiles but... Even Miyoko should be able to notice something off, besides that he's floating.]

You got that wrong, want to give it another try?

[Action]

[needs-certainty.livejournal.com]

[... This isn't Keiichi? But-- ...

He's floating.

His eyes are different.

His whole demeanor seems different.

This is--]

Ah ...

[She slowly starts to back away.]

[Voice]

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

Keiichi?

[Voice]

[breaks_destiny]

[He glares at the journal and thus Winry for a second. That name... Yes, he knows people know him by that name, it's not as if she resents his piece self, after all they are one and the same. Even if Primo has gone higher up in the scale and Keiichi has stayed back in Hinamizawa enjoying what they fought for.

It's fine, they "parted", if it can be said that way, in good terms. But Primo can't remember why he gave that name instead of his real name upon arriving- ah, right, the pieces were around back then yet. They mistook him for Keiichi and he played along, he forgot about that. Oh well, he will have to keep playing along, at least now he remembers why.]

Hello, Winry. You sound... Younger today.

[Voice]

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

Younger, what do you mean?

[Voice]

[breaks_destiny]

[He smiles, slightly amused.]

Younger, brighter, chipper... You just sound good. Everything fine?

[Voice]

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

Yes. And what about you?

[Voice]

[breaks_destiny]

All fine as well, save for a small problem with pests as you have probably heard.

[1week-warlock.livejournal.com]

... Keiichi?

[breaks_destiny]

That would be me.

[He sounds unsettlingly amused by some silent joke. At moments he forgets why people know him like that but once he remembers? It's amusing. Wonder what would it be like if Keiichi really came here. Then again, knowing him he probably wouldn't like Primo's idea to deal with Takano... Unless he was from a world before Primo himself was born. That would indeed be amazing.]

Can I help you, Patchouli-san?

[1week-warlock.livejournal.com]

... I never figured you for a rat exterminator.

[breaks_destiny]

Not really my job of choice. But I'm really fed up with it and I don't want it sneaking into the house and biting everything and everyone.

[He invited her in, during a time of madness, but with the way she moves and all? She could have very well sneaked in.]

[1week-warlock.livejournal.com]

Of course.

[breaks_destiny]

Everything going well on your side? No problems with pests, right?

[voice]

[emp3thy]

[popcorn.gif actually he's not his sister so he's more concerned than thinking of trolling here. But the Malnosso certainly do seem to like you, don't they?]

Hunting what?

[voice]

[breaks_destiny]

[he's even eating in that icon, wat Primo also likes the Malnosso, they are the second set of people he wants to kill and utterly destroy until not even their memory is left. Right behind Lambdadelta and her pieces.]

An annoying rat. She was amusing for a while but I've gotten bored of her.

[He could have said who it was directly, if Takano wasn't currently a child. Even Primo is aware that people would likely not appreciate a child being killed. No matter what kind of monster she would grow up to be or that she would be back in a week -then again that mattered little to Primo, he was more than ready to keep killing her until nothing was left-.]

[voice]

[emp3thy]

Does she have a name?

[oh keiichi, he doesn't really like your tone]

[voice]

[breaks_destiny]

Maybe she does. But it's only a rat, I don't talk their language thus I can't know. It probably sounds like "eeek-eek-iiiik".

[And he cackles. CACKLES I SAY. Ahahahaha.wav style.]

[voice - filtered]

[emp3thy]

[......]

Keiichi... are you feeling all right?

[he knows the answer, but he has to stall while he figures out what to do. If this experiment caused him to go into level 5...

well. He needs more information.]

[voice - filtered]

[breaks_destiny]

[A filter? And that question... Right, right, Keiichi's facade, infected with the Hinamizawa Syndrome and what not. Sometimes he thinks he takes too much trouble in acting up.]

I'm not talking about any human if you think that, it's literally a rat... Unless it's someone affected by the experiment but she was around before it started.

[He sighs. Lies? Not really. Primo could never see Lambdadelta's piece as anything but that. Of course he also sees as pieces Keiichi and the others, but that's what they are after all. And one doesn't treat the chess pieces as people, right? And she really is a rat, even her 'tragic' past which built her up to be a monster is nothing but pathetic. Rena had it worse and she endured it. If that girl wanted to give up so much and become something else besides a person, why not give up in the orphanage and become a corpse?

And she definitively was around already before the experiment started. See? No lies at all. Not his fault if people don't understand his meanings, then again, pieces will unlikely be able to turn and see who moves them, right?]

Though I admit that I've gotten fed up with it. And the experiment shenanigans don't help, but it's not as if I'm scratching myself, you know.

[But there's still something off.]
