[jokered]

the hierophant; cafe leblanc

[most days have routine. get up, eat breakfast, hop on subway. school, meeting up with friends afterwards, and then a brief reprieve to do homework before some evening shenanigans.

but of course, some things don't always go as planned.

like the rare occasion where someone comes into the cafe leblanc for some coffee or curry (or perhaps both; they complement each other well here, after all) and the proprietor is nowhere to be seen. like this moment, for instance, when a certain scruffy-haired teen comes down the back stairs, bag slung over his shoulder (is that a cat popping its head out?), and he just pauses.]

Huh?

[he questions quietly, wondering why the place is unattended—he can only guess it was meant to be brief, and with the assumption that nobody would show up. whoops?

either way, it looks like akira is walking himself behind the counter, placing down the bag and picking up an apron like a semi-pro. unless you're one of the phantom thieves, in which case he's not helping your ass unless you ask, like a true pal.]

Can I help you?

[see? totally a pro!]

the magician; mementos

[how you got here may not matter. but it's certainly a strange looking subway station. it's devoid of people, but full of... something else. monsters? well, shadows, but this particular area seems to be devoid of even that.

until there's a rustling sound. one corner. the next. then behind a pole.

...do you feel like you're being watched?

...or maybe like someone is about to ambush you?

well, it doesn't matter, because as soon as joker has discerned that this isn't an aggressive shadow, but someone else, he'll somersault out from where he's hiding, gun in hand. to those who know him, he may seem familiar, even recognizable entirely. to anyone else, this masked trickster is joker of the phantom thieves. his smirk skirts on the dangerous side, knowing he's got someone cornered—though he doesn't seem particularly aggressive before asking the most important questions:]

Who are you? ["and why are you here?" he doesn't lower his gun completely though, instead twirling it in his hand.

show off.]

the chariot; texts

[did you want to make plans to hang out tomorrow? did you think akira would want a text from you?

...well, he probably does! except that he fell asleep, so being woken up to a text that says "do you have a second?" or some variation of it is going to be met with a response.]

1.

[and then, immediately after that, a second text:]

Time's up.

[nobody said it would be a helpful response. please though, continue.]

the fool; wildcard

[idk do whatever, make up some stuff!]

Comments

[jokered]

[2B, no.]

I'm not doing that all today. It's not possible.

[apatheia]

How long have you been exploring this place for? [Not being able to do it all in one go and periodically needing rest? Sounds fake tbh.]

[jokered]

A while. There are barriers, so there's no way to the depths yet.

[sorry, 2B, it's legit af.]

[apatheia]

[Barriers that can't be forcibly beaten down or hacked into?? UNHEARD OF. But then again, if this is really 2016, she has no idea what humanity is capable of at this point.]

Then the goal is to explore what you can for now. Am I getting that right?

[jokered]

[even that door can't be hacked, or futaba definitely would have already.]

More or less, but not all at once. [there's just not enough time and energy for humans to do that. especially when they're a group of teenagers with school... minor details.]

You don't need to worry too much about it.

[apatheia]

Whatever your business here is, it concerns me.

[This place looks unsafe after all, and the deep (programmed) desire to PROTECT HUMANITY is pretty strong. As long as they're in this shady subway station, she won't be going away anytime soon.]

[jokered]

...Right now, my business is getting in here out safetly.

[which does primarily mean that he wants to find his fellow phantom thieves and make sure they're all fine (he believes they are, but it's not like he can leave without them anyway), but in any case.. it applies to 2B as well.]

[apatheia]

[NOW THAT'S WHAT SHE LIKES TO HEAR. If she knew there were other humans here she'd also be REALLY FUCKING CONCERNED with getting them out too, so it's a win-win situation! Or as much of a win something this bizarre can eve be, but. Regardless, she nods.]

Then let's get moving.

[jokered]

[it's fine, he'll just. casually escort 2B out and meet up with the others afterwards so she doesn't get involved any further.]

Right. The entrance isn't far from here.

[apatheia]

[She'll be expecting him to leave too though... Welp. But with that not being a dilemma right at this moment, she gets to walking. No more weird dangerous transit buildings for the human, please.]
