027th Shattering * Action/Audio (Forwardated to the 31st)

[May 31st]

[Honestly, Primo didn't expect to be brought back to Luceti. It's pretty fun how it works this time he knows that he's not supposed to be there, it was Keiichi the one brought to Luceti, not him. It was never him. But then there was an experiment and he found himself there, believing to have always been there, using the old piece's name for the sake of the other pieces from that game trapped there. Then the experiment ended, and for Primo he was returned to where he was supposed to be, to his personal search for *that* specific kakera.

But the Malnosso are having fun again with their experiments. And today it's Primo and not Keiichi the one waking up. At least this time he's better informed and aware that there's an experiment going on... Unfortunately, though, that also means he's not going to bother with acting. Instead he is going to have fun in his own way...

But first he wants to see how long it will take his housemates to notice that something is wrong. Specially Ange and Minato, oh, yes, he's very interested in those two. House 21's habitants will find Keiichi in the kitchen and still in his pajamas, apparently nursing a headache or still sleepy.]

[June 1st]

[Primo's not going to leave Luceti until the end of the experiment. He will devote a lot of his time to a certain redheaded girl, the fun of having to seduce her again. But he will still have time to wander around the village. Dressed in a suit and a long red coat, teleporting around in bursts of red cicadas made of light and sparkles. He's also going to make sure to visit anyone he knows, or rather, that Keiichi knows, to check if they are in their right minds already or what new effects the experiment is taking on them.]

[June 2nd]

[Booooooooooring. Okay, there's a point of fun in unnerving people, but it's limited because he doesn't want to be too bad. And there's Ange and he certainly doesn't mind spending every waking minute around her but... Heh, come on, there has to be something else. Then again he probably is the only one who thinks of that right now. Why not check? Have a voice message, Luceti.]

Just curious, Luceti. Would anyone be interested in a small party on the fourth? Or do you all prefer to dwell on how the experiments are screwing your minds and bodies and making everyone act as if they are crazy until the Malnosso get tired of us for the time being?

[June 3rd - 4th]

[For the rest of the experiment Primo will just keep chilling around. Of course, despite the experiment, he will still going to the SOS Brigade and cover turns in the front desk unless someone complains. And if his message in the previous day got any interest that wasn't about kicking his ass due being a jerk with his wording, he may organize something quick and simple for the last day of the experiment. But that's for another story ~~or post if anything~~.]

[OOC: Expect replies to come from

promotedpawn. This is Primo, a Keiichi AU crossoved with Umineko, for more info regarding the reasons of his existence check here. He remembers all is CR as Keiichi so there won't be "who are you" or anything like that unless your character has changed as well. Feel free to design any scenario you want if there's something specific you want to do, no need to adhere to what was presented in this post, Primo will be anywhere and everywhere those days after all.

Also I'm posting this now because on the 31st I start working again so I wanted to take advantage of the vacation time I've left.]

[ This wasn't quite what Ange was expecting, not even from Keiichi. And there's a few things off either way, she can realise that even as she's losing herself in the embarassment - it's in the middle of the kitchen, after all - yet the nice feeling of the moment. There's no way Keiichi could have gotten up that soundlessly and got over to her that quickly, and then there's something slightly strange in the way he kisses her, and his words-- her face is still red, obviously flustered, but there's also something.. worried, maybe. ]

Keiichi.. [ She can't even move away from him while he's holding her like this - not that she wants to reject him, but more that she wants to know what's up, at least. ] What are you doing..?

[That makes him pause for a moment, though he still keeps kissing and nuzzling the spot where he was when she spoke.]

Hmmm... Do you think this counts as making out? I would define it more like cuddling, though.

[A very suggestive and touchy cuddling full of kisses. But not really a making out session.]

[ That teasing doesn't help in the slightest, okay, it's not what she asked! Although part of her almost feels bad for asking now, but.. no, she has to know, since there's definitely something off, right? ]

Come on, that's not what I said, right?

You asked what I'm doing, and my reply is that I'm cuddling you.

[And kissing and hugging closely.]

Is there something wrong with that?

No--.. I mean, there's nothing wrong with it at all..! [ She'll admit that much, even, flustered and all. ]

But there's.. almost something weird right now. Don't you feel it too, Keiichi? [ She doesn't realise it fully yet, really - she can't see his eyes very well like this and it's the only obvious difference while he's in these clothes. The voice, the small different mannerisms - like the slight difference in kisses - are more easy to overlook, but.. ] Something is different, isn't it?

[Something different. He's not sure if he should take that as an insult or not. But she's right, it's different and Keiichi's not his name, it stopped being his name centuries ago. He gave it up, together with many other things to be able to fight, to fulfill promises he had forgot about, to find her across the worlds and dimensions. But the core is the same, he was born from Keiichi and he doesn't deny his past, his love for her is the same if only starved and needy because for him it has been a too long time since he saw her, since he was able to hug her and kiss her. There's another Ange, there are many other Anges, but he only wants one, this one.]

Maybe it's because I feel as if it has been a long time since I was able to hold you in my arms... Why? Is it... Something bad? Is the difference bad?

[There's something in his tone, though it's hard to pinpoint what it is, but it probably leaves a bad feeling and a bad taste in the mouth. As if walking on a fine thread under which there's nothing but darkness.]

[ It does, and exactly that little thing in his tone is what makes it even more strange. And almost a little scary, but she does answer honestly and frankly despite it. ]

Nobody said difference was bad, right? [ After all, if she hadn't recognized him as 'Keiichi' in at least some way, she would have been suspicious from the very start. It's just about the small differences she picks up - and after the whole body swapping incident she's more wary of it. ] I just want to know if something happened to you. Am I not allowed to be worried about the person I love?

[His grip on her tightens slightly even with her acknowledge that difference may not be a bad thing, he can't help to wonder if she will keep saying it once she realizes who he is. What he is. He knows Ange, better than she may know herself, and he knows that she will be upset about what happened, sad about what he is and will do stupid things like feeling guilt for it. Because even if she wasn't the sole reason for which he exists, she played a very important role on it.]

You're allowed to worry, but there's no need. I'm fine. There's no way I couldn't be fine when I can finally have you between my arms again.

[He shifts and a hand raises to her face to make her turn it his way. Golden eyes flashing at hers before he closes them and traps her lips against his before she even has a chance to realize anything. The kiss is intense, with a passion that has burned for centuries and slightly desperate, the same desperation with which a thirsty man, who has just crossed a huge desert and finds water at the end of it, drinks that delicious and longly missed water. One arm firmly around her wrist, pressing her against him even as he leans forward to help and make sure that there's not enough space between them even for air to pass by, his other hand caressing her cheek with his fingertips, adoringly and lovingly.]

[ She's actually already attempting to say something the moment she spots those golden eyes, if not just let out a sound of surprise, but everything is immediately silenced in that kiss. And her first instinct is to try and pull away since something is wrong, Keiichi's eyes have never been golden, they can't just kiss like this when something serious might be up, right?

But despite the difference in eye color and the difference in the kiss - she can definitely taste and feel it, the desperation in it, something Keiichi never displayed like this whenever they kissed - at the same time she can still feel how, in a way, it's the same as usual. It's exactly the same way Keiichi kissed her before, just more desperate now. It's the familiarity that calms her down for just a few moments, that actually makes her kiss back until she has to breathe. And the moment she pulls away from the kiss (but still not from his hold, she's stuck there) the surprise from earlier shoots back to the front of her mind. ]

Keiichi.. [ She attempts to catch her breath again. ] Your eyes..

[He smirks, bitterly amused by her reaction.]

Try to not get lost in them, Ange. Even if it would be a good way to make sure you stay with me.

[His tone is teasing, but there's an underlying tone on it, he knows what she means, but he won't give her answers easily. Or rather, he's trying to figure how to say it in a way that won't hurt her, though that's probably impossible. He leans in again, but this time the kiss is aimed to her cheek, soft and chaste. Almost like a goodbye.]

[ A good way to-.. what is he even saying? What happened to him, what's different? She knows it's just the experiment most likely, she was switched with Atsuro body-wise only the past few days, after all, but even so it's not easy to find out how exactly he changed.

But in the middle of thinking there's the kiss on her cheek and it does almost feel like a goodbye. And that hits some weak spot in her, a possibility she doesn't even want to think of, Keiichi leaving in any way.. the feeling is enough to make her move her arms to cling to him in return despite not knowing what's going on. No matter what it is, it's definitely still Keiichi, so.. ]

... Tell me? [ She feels oddly weak and vulnerable like this, a way she never likes feeling but really can't help right now when she's this open. ]

[He's clearly surprised by her clinging, but he allows it, he couldn't deny it to her even if he wanted. He can't deny her anything. The surprise is soon gone, leaving a serious expression and golden eyes that look into hers, right into her soul.]

You really have the bad habit of wanting to know things that can only hurt you, don't you Ange?

[He almost sound condescending, patronizing her. But it's the way she is, and part of him want hers to know. He was Keiichi but he's more now. Much more. He speaks in a serious and calm tone, almost cold.]

Maebara Keiichi... Is a name I've not used in a long time. In human terms, it has been centuries since I was ever called by that name. My name's Primo, the "Wizard of Destiny", and I was born from Maebara Keiichi, in order to win the final game he was forced to play... And in order to find you and the friends he made and lost in Luceti.

Huh..?

[ It explains a lot - for example why he seems and feels and kisses so much like Keiichi yet with that vital difference - but at the same time.. a wizard? Not to mention that that tone of his' practically stabs her in the heart, to see her boyfriend (or well, someone who's him yet not) speaking to her in that tone.. Her expression becomes more pained. ]

You're.. a wizard?

Do you need proofs?

[He lets her body go, taking a few steps back. The pajama bursts into thousands of bright red cicadas made of light that cover his body fluttering around before they settle again, leaving him dressed in his usual clothes. A suit with a long red coat. Then he speaks again, and as he speaks, in the space between them, bright red words start to appear as he uses the red truth.]

Primo is the "Wizard of Destiny". Primo was born from Maebara Keiichi. Primo is the same as Maebara Keiichi. Maebara Keiichi isn't the same as Primo.

[ She would have believed him even without it, really, but the display of magic and the red truth just hammer it in. He's the same as Keiichi since he was born from him, but Keiichi has never been this wizard before so he isn't the same-- it's logical even if it might not sound that way at first.

Ange swallows thickly, trying to make sense out of her jumbled thoughts. ]

If you are the same as Keiichi, but he's not the same as you.. then what are we to each other?

Do you really have to ask?

[He gives her a look. Does she think he's someone who goes around making out with every girl that crosses his way? Even if she doesn't know Primo, she should know Keiichi enough and know that it's not the case.]

[ Of course she knows Keiichi isn't the type to do that. But if he really became a wizard and went through that many years, who knows what could have happened, could have changed. The slight differences between Keiichi and Primo are apparent too, after all. ]

.. I was just making sure.

Really... Do you think something so small like this could change what you are for me?

[Becoming a wizard, leaving behind his name, his humanity, his chance of enjoyed the so deserved happiness... Everything is just small compared to her, to his love for her. It's not just about her, but she's the one that makes everything make sense, what keeps him sane and something that can be recognized as Keiichi if ones look hard enough. He takes a step closer to her again, hands finding her waist to pull her close once more.]

[ She doesn't try to step away nor reject him when he pulls her closer again. Because despite the confusion and the realisation, he is still Keiichi, in a way - the Keiichi she knows, just much further ahead, just changed. It's there even if he's definitely different, but when she thinks about it like that the kiss from earlier only seems more sad to her. The desperation in it..

Instead of answering his question, she raises a hand to put it on his cheek, her expression actually growing a little more concerned. ]

Are you.. [ it's difficult to find the right word for it, but in the end she settles on-- ] .. hurt?

[He's glad that she doesn't try to step away and he takes the chance, taking as much advantage of it as she will allow. Touching her, caressing every part of her he can reach to, they aren't suggestive caresses but adoring ones. It has been so long since he had her, this her or any her at all, so long since he could step this close, enjoy her scent and warmth without worrying about being rejected or discovered... He would be a fool if he didn't drink as much as he could now before returning to that desert that is eternity without her.]

Not right now.

[He wears a wry and deeply hurt smile, but he tosses it aside. Right now he has no reason to be hurt after all.]

I've missed you, Ange.

[ She can't realise the full extent of his pain, only guess at it. And the smile - even if he tosses it aside - tells her enough either way, that he has been hurting so much. Even though she should have been right there with him somehow.. She knows that this is temporary, probably just a part of the experiment, and the thought that Keiichi as she knows him will return in a few days at the most makes it a little more comfortable, but that makes it even more natural to comfort the one in front of her now, if not just a little. ]

I'm right here.

[ Despite the lingering feelings of guilt and pain at his sadness, she smiles for him. And she knows she doesn't have to say more than that. ]

Just as I like it.

[He mumbles with a small smile, a mix of relief and sadness, relief because he can have this, no matter how short the moment may be, sadness because after this he will return to a live without her. Always searching for her, the Ange that he fell in love with, the Ange that makes him still be something besides a wizard. He hugs her again, pulling her close before his lips search for hers and then...

His stomach growls. Loudly.]

... Maybe we should have breakfast and then continue talking?

[Those growls sound almost like a dangerous beast, it has been a good while since he ate.]

[ Okay, she can't help but let a slightly amused sound escape her throat at the stomach growling. ]

Some things never change, huh.

[ But it's actually all for the better, if he's actually hungry and acting like this then it's even easier to see Keiichi in him. ]

I might have to leave your arms for a moment for that though.

What if I just hug you from behind?

[That's an idea.]

I promise to not let my hands wander around... Too much.

No wandering or no breakfast.

[ But maybe it's partially teasing, since she doesn't mind it too much when it's him, after all -- even if it's slightly strange when it's this him rather than the usual Keiichi. That, and Ange's just tsundere forever. ]
