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]

From the past?

[wh...at...]

Yeah, I guess people used to only send texts with old phones. It's easier now with smartphones.

[and yet he feels this is not quite correct/]

[bookofyonah]

[ "Now"? Is this phone thing not as ancient as she thought...!! Dad and Weiss just dug it up from some ruins or something... ]

Are there more people in your village that use phones?

[jokered]

My...village?

[this kid much be from a real small town, huh?]

I'm from the city. Almost everyone has phones here.

[bookofyonah]

And everyone in your city writes letters and sends pictures to each other all the time?

[ Wow, that would be so fun and not lonely if her village were like that. ]

[jokered]

Usually just to their friends and family, but yeah. It's pretty normal for us here.

[bookofyonah]

I wish it was like that here. Waiting for the postman is so slow!

[jokered]

I bet. Couldn't people just get them too, where you are?

[little does he realize he's crossing time and space via text, it's fine.]

[bookofyonah]

No. Dad was just lucky enough to find one in some ruins somewhere.

[jokered]

...He found a smartphone in some ruins?

[bookofyonah]

Yeah!

[ She doesn't understand if there's any confusion going on here!!! She'll just keep on happily texting away. Talking to Akira is fun! ]

I'm surprised it still works. It's really old...

[jokered]

Really old? Like a model from ten years ago?

[it's not like this kind of smartphone could even be much older than that, maybe that has something to do with it?]

[bookofyonah]

Ten years isn't that long!

[ Ha ha, funny Akira...!!! ]

I'd say more like a thousand.

[jokered]

Ah, you're right. A thousand years is a lot longer.

[kids sure are funny, aren't they....]

[bookofyonah]

[ She making a funny without realizing it!! ]

Yeah. My phone's an ancient relic! It's pretty cool.

[jokered]

I'm kind of jealous. Having an ancient relic sounds pretty cool.

[bookofyonah]

I guess so. Yours is newer, so I'm jealous!

[jokered]

Too bad we can't trade, right?
