towerofanimus | 1st Bus Stop

Characters: Shinjiro and anyone who want to bump and talk to him and probably try to kill him if your name is Ken.
Location: All the floors, he'll be moving around to explore, feel free to bump into him wherever you want.
Format: Pick your poison, I'll match in suite.
Summary: A dude wakes up and wonders where the hell he is.
Warnings: Shinjiro has a potty mouth. Also probably some violence.

He shouldn't be here. That's the first thing he told himself upon waking up. Just a few minutes ago, he was off to fight the rest of his friends for the right to wield the keys, and now his first thought was that either he had never actually awoken from his hospital bed before, or that he had failed. Regardless it did not bode well.

Of course the letters pretty much confirmed his fears. Maybe this was some sort of personal hell, or maybe the keys had malfunctioned and he had ended up here. There was no way the way had ended after Minako had worked so hard to protect it from Nyx. Regardless, even if he didn't quite believe what he was told, he needed to look around and see what this place was like. Without Aigis, Metis, Aki or the others...strange how he didn't mind being along not just a few months ago, but now...

He picked up a few items from his trunk, idly remembering that the bus stop sign would require work before he could actually use it. For now the large golden hammer could be useful, as was the Evoker. Stepping into any area could be dangerous, and Shinjiro was borderline paranoid by trade. As 'nice' as that letter had been, he didn't want to be caught unguarded.

He stepped out of room 2-02, looking around before slipping into the shadows and darker corners. He operated better that way.

Yeah, that even garnered a bit of a chuckle from Jin. Not really condescending per say, but the fact that he was amused by Shinjiro's enthusiasm for his team was probably insulting enough. "You're gung ho about being a part of the team now?" Well if THAT didn't indicate a different in timelines, then nothing did.

"Bingo. Although in our case he was always sort of the leader." Takaya was much more an in-the-shadows guy anyway. At the second part though, he shrugged. "We found a persona-user that wasn't part of SEES getting his ass kicked. Not that hard to make the jump."

Yeah keep it up with the laughing at his enthusiasm and you'd be laughing with his fist in your face. He completely ignored that question, and just focused on what he said next, frowning.

"Tch. That makes no damn sense from the Strega I knew. Ken and Koromaru were always part of SEES." Hell, Ken was the reason Shinjiro returned, however temporarily, in the first place. "You better not be pulling my leg with all of this bullshit."

You give him a fist to the face, he will give you a bomb to your intestines. It's on, hobo man.

"Why would I pull your leg about stuff like that? The Ken know dislikes SEES just as much of the rest of us." He pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose, glaring at Shinjiro a bit more than before. "If anyone's more likely to be pulling someone's leg here it's you, Mr. I Suddenly Give a Damn."

You are so dead.

"I never said I did," he replied, when it clearly was visible he did. "Strega's dead and buried after Nyx was defeated. End of the story. Ikutsuki was using the both teams to bring about the Fall anyway. Tch we played right into his hand, the bastard."

Bring. It.

"It's pretty obvious that you do. You're just as 'good' and 'righteous' as the rest of them now," he commented with a slight derision to his voice.

"Look, that's a nice story you've got going for you there, but it's time to wake up, Aragaki. The fact is we're all stuck here, and Strega's way beyond from being buried by the likes of you, or any 'Nyx.' Most of your little team isn't even around anymore."

"I never said I stopped Strega, you dumbass," he replied back, crossing his arms. He did flinch at the fact he seemed to know a lot more about this place, and the fact his team wasn't there.

"I'm not worried about them. They'll take care of themselves." He meant that both ways, too. If this place was a strange, twisted time-warped hell, he didn't want them here. "Tell me more about 'here'."

"No, but you seem pretty proud of the fact that your dumb little team did." Gross, SEES cooties.

"According to 'here,' everyone's that not around is dead. At least that's what the bastards in charge are telling us. Apparently our worlds are gone and we've all been rounded up here to 'keep us safe.'" The absolute and utter disdain in his voice is probably enough to tell you his opinion on that

"The hell they are. If anyone from your time or mine wake up, that already makes it false." Shinjiro would refuse that his world was gone after being saved for a very, very long time. At least they were in agreement on something, ewww Strega cooties he was sure had had cleared himself of those goddammit.

"Know who's in charge?" He might want to pay them a little visit.

Well Jin was definitely only in denial because the facts contradicted it and also it was stupid. So at least there's not that many cooties.

"If I had any idea, Minato and I would've taken care of them ourselves by now. I don't think anyone has any idea. All they do is hide behind their stupid notes and the grunts that walk around managing this place."

"So we're dealing with a bunch of coward assholes working behind the lines. Fucking fantastic."

God he had enough of those guys with SEES being nothing more than one guy's dream to bring about the dark hour. They had risen above that. He turned around, grabbing his weapon.

"I'm going exploring."

If my exploring you mean 'probably hit a few monsters and some of those grunt guys.

"Pretty much." He is so enthused.

He watched Shinjiro grab his weapon, and he didn't really give a damn if he were going out monster slaying. "Try not to get yourself killed again."

Jin walked further in the room towards his bed to no longer obstruct the doorway, before he remember something and turned back to look at Shinjiro. "By the way, I guess I should tell you; death isn't permanent here." And man was there some venom in his voice at the thought.

"..I don't plan on dying any time soon," was his reply. This was nothing a Shinjiro of the past would have said and it spoke words of his evolution and resolve after the death if Minako.

He walked out after that, leaving Jin by himself ~~to masturbate softly while crying and holding pictures of the Terminator or some other robot.~~.
