genessia | [Video]

[ He she recognizes that voice anywhere. That kind of polite and well sly use of words was definitely a give away. ]

[ What's up with people coming here that she knows?

Shuichi-- what? ]

No way...

[ oops she dropped her communication thing. ]

[ GENESSIA why you RIP Her heart outs?! ]

Kurama....?

[ Ishtar takes a long time to respond again. that red hair and eyes was hard to miss really but did he know her?

Did he? Ishtar was having heartaches with people she knew and she didn't know what to do other than to treat it as a calmly as she could. ]

You're Kurama...right?

[Well that was...Different. Not the kind of reaction he'd been expecting from someone who is not in the slightest bit familiar. In fact, it quite sounded like this young woman knew him. Somehow.

Practice allowed him to keep the suspicion off his expression, wouldn't do for someone like this to catch on just how frustrating that was. Or that he'd caught any of her initial reactions.

He blinks, so very carefully.]

Yes. I'm curious how you know that name.

[ Ishtar's very cautious of how she's speaking, so she doesn't reveal too much to him. The way he responded was a good indication that this wasn't the Kurama she knew. Ishtar took a breath slowly, before replying to him.

Knowing the nature of the demon, she's pretty sure he's very cautious and wary of her sudden call of his name. She remembered that she didn't address him by this name at first, but rather the one that was given to the public. ]

You're not the same one.

[ She replied giving him a sad look. ]

I'm sorry. I knew another version of you, if you want to call it that, from the place that i came from before this one.

[Reveal too much? He's already figured out something beyond 'This person knows me' which was simply confirmed. But she has some awareness of who and possibly what he is, as she switched to a private feed before using his real name.

He remains polite, of course. Clearly she was friends with this other him. However duplicates worked, unless it was a doppelganger.]

I'm afraid you're right. Would you humor me and permit a re-acquaintance?

[Just because she knew him didn't mean he'd so easily trust her. He didn't even have her scent, nor her name. Yet.]

[ Ishtar was extremely cautious when it came to cases like Kurama and Duzell. She couldn't simply just use their identities as she saw fit. She had to be careful of what she did and how she said it. If he was a different one then she knew better than to expose him to the network that easily.

There wasn't really an easy way to explain the other him, other than the fact that they were all created from the original people. In short, clones. it was going to be difficult to make this settle. ]

No, I don't mind. I'm sorry for startling you. My name is Ishtar. I came from a place called Facility before this. I'm no quite sure how well the filters on this communication device works, so perhaps we should discuss things in person, if you are alright with that.

[ No, trust was not established just because someone knew another you. It would take time to build on and make. ]

[Really, he does appreciate her caution. Though he really wishes he knew more about the state of her friendship with this other self of his. Perhaps he'll find out. Yes. That's one of his goals now.

Kurama shakes his head a little, putting a bit more warmth in his expression. No need to frighten her.]

It's quite alright. Yes, a meeting would be wise. Did you have a place in mind?

[ Frightened was not on her list of feelings right now. After all, some angel threw her out a window. She's completely fine. There's nothing to fear unless he was trying to hurt her, in which she doubts. She does remember some things that happened in Facility that revolved around some awkward things such as "Hurt the ones you love," week. It makes her arm itchy, but other than that she's not really frightened. She learned that being in Facility nothing was safe. She didn't think that Genessia would be that much safer, even if it felt better.

She wouldn't be opposed to tell him everything she knew about him, and their friendship. It was something he deserved to know above all else. ]

The library is a good place but I'm usually in the Clinic. Since you know know your way around well, maybe I should get you?

[There's something more there. Whether about him, or just something that's on her mind. Which it was would either be revealed, or not.]

I wouldn't be opposed to you coming to me.

[While he probably could find his way to wherever it was she was, it would simply be easier this way. He'd do his own exploring later.]

I only just left the Bay.

[ If he asked, she would tell. That's just as simple as it will be. She might be the most comfortable when she talks about it all, but again-- it's something she can't keep from someone if she knew them. ]

Alright, I'll head over there. Don't go anywhere.

[ She replied lightly, before making her move to find him. ]

Edited 2014-05-11 23:08 (UTC)

[He'd ask, if it came up. Meaning, if he can figure out a proper segue, he'll bring it up himself.

He acknowledges quietly and waits patiently, speaking with others quietly as he looks around casually. Hand in pocket, locket draped around his neck. When he's aware some approaches, he tucks the communicator away and turns to watch Ishtar walk up.]

[ That's fine. She's just honest as she can be with these things.

Not too long after she ended the video conversation, the younger girl was approaching him, and she wasn't very tall. A petite girl with black hair and green eyes as in the video made her way over to him in greeting. He looked the same as she remembered the one she knew. There was nothing different about him.

Yet, she knew that he must be the original Kurama. ]</small. Hello.

[Kurama smiles and gives her a nod. Oh good. Another human not all that tall.

No, nothing different.

He makes note of her scent, discretely, so he can find her easily later, as needed.]

Thank you for meeting with me.

[ She gives him a small smile of relief. ]

I'm glad you're not hurt in any way.

[ She replied, though he might not have picked anything strange from her, she still had some well not so human abilities that aren't important right now. Of course, he would. That's not even a surprise. ]

You're welcome. I'm sorry again for startling you. Where would you like me to start?

Hm? Why would I be hurt?

[Curious. Or perhaps not so much, if the 'Kurama' she'd known had been taken from one of the many battles he'd fought. It would be easy to get some tissue from him during such a fight. He tended to bleed...

Kurama steps forward, other hand sliding into a pocket to stand at ease.]

It's alright. Really.

How about with how you know the name Kurama?

A lot of reasons. One could mean you were attacked or something.

[ She's not sure how something like that worked but either way, it was something that would addressed out of concern. ]

Well, the easiest way is to say that the name was given to me after a while. I've also been told that Kurama is a demon. I've seen his other form maybe once or twice.

[ She replied giving him the straight to the point answer. ]

He did the same thing first, giving the name Shuichi Minamino. I think we got close enough for him to let me call him Kurama.

[But he wasn't, clearly. So he lets that off without comment. It was enough to hear she seemed honestly concerned for his well being.

She knows. Name, what he is, has even seen the Youko form.

It's still something unexpected. He keeps his surprise from showing, listening intently and debating. Close enough, for that. Not all that close, if the other had seen a reason. Or had had his hand forced and had simply chosen not to adjust memories.

Finally he simply nods.]

I see.

[ Facility had no secrets, so things got out of hand really quick. She lost count of many things that went out of hand. Secrets were tossed around like nothing. It was overall, difficult to hide things from people.

Yes, and she's known him for maybe about two years. ]

That Kurama I knew was a good friend. It's hard to trust people with your life in such a place, but that Kurama did a lot for me as a friend and as someone I consider family but of course, you aren't him, so I won't be forcing any of this on you. I am just giving you the information you need from me.

What happens after this is up to you.

Edited 2014-05-12 00:54 (UTC)

[That would make things hard to keep hidden without serious effort, and a lack of such events.

Kurama's head tilts down, gaze lowering as he considers her words very carefully. Allies in this strange place would be so very useful. And she already knew.

Considered family?

He looks up again after a moment, a more honest smile visible now.]

I would like to get to know you, if you don't mind.

[ Ishtar gives him a more genuine smile for that response. It made her relief to know that she could still keep him as a friend, even if it wasn't the same as how she was used to.

It was the same with Luke as well. Yes, allies are always nice and yes she had a few people that she was close to. He was one of them-- well the other him ]

Of course I don't mind. You can ask anything of me if you like. I know too much about you to not reciprocate right?

[Kurama chuckles quietly, seemingly to visibly relax. Whether she's fooled or not, he'll just find out.]

That's a rather...generous offer.

[And dangerous. His smile doesn't slip of course.]

How about starting with who you are? I know your name, but that's all.

[ Ishtar's not sure he's really relaxed but she just plays along with it for the time being. ]

It's a fair offer. I know a lot about you without you knowing much about me.

[ Ishtar doesn't process danger the way normal people do ahah. ]

I'm Ishtar, again. I'm actually a princess from where I came-- or rather from my memory. I'm a local medic for Facility. I can use healing magic and defensive magic. I'm 18 I think and I have extremely lucky moments where I survive death somehow. Most of the time. I have a cat named Duzell and a cousin who's my magic teacher. He's called Yujinn mostly. I like to make chocolate, and braid people's hair...and eat.

[ WELP you asked for it. ]

Well, what do you know? We were just talking about you, red.

[This time it's a pleasant surprise - well, mostly. A familiar face, at the very least. Playful mirth flicks across his face.]

Should I be worried?

I wouldn't be worried, since it's his royal pain in the ass you have to worry about.

[ Good, now she doesn't have to babysit the Reikai Prince. ]

Is it just you? Have you seen Kazuma?

[He pauses at that, then sighs inwardly. So Koenma's here too. Oh boy. His smile turns rueful.]

I'm certain he'll be in touch soon, if that's the case.

[Of course she'd want to know if her brother's here. He gives her an apologetic look.]

If your brother's here, I haven't seen him.

[ Yep, and she's been babysitting him while he tried to talk her out of things, including that uneventful dream. Let's not talk about the outcomes right now. ]

I'm sure he'll be screamin' for ya.

[ She shrugged. ]

I figured since I didn't feel Kazuma and all, but it was worth a try. Where are you located or do you want to find us.

Most likely.

[Can you hear just how much he's looking forward to that? So excited to have the little junior god yelling at him.]

Ah...I'm to meet someone shortly. I'll find you later.

Well, you better find him soon before his diapers get all bunched up.

[ She replied giving him a nod. ] Good to see you alive and kickin' at least.

[That gets a sigh anyone can hear. But he still smiles. Masks, you understand.]

It's good to see you as well, miss Shizuru.

[ It's fine. She doesn't care. She's just giving you a heads up. ]

Shizuru.

[ Since they were all acquainted. This use of proper mannerisms isn't necessary. ]

I'll see you when I see you.

[The heads up is definitely appreciated. Who knew what Koenma would get up to unsupervised? His lips twitch in amusement.]

Yes. Until then, Shizuru.

You know where to find me if you need me.

[ Easy right? Since he has her scent and all. Indeed, that's just what your favourite prince is gonna do. With that she ends the conversation short and sweet.]

Edited 2014-05-12 00:36 (UTC)

Greetings, Kurama. [He was seriously counting down the days when you or one of the other three would show up.]

Where are you currently located?

[Speak of the devil and a toddler appears. The privacy setting is appreciated.]

Koenma. My location will be changing shortly. I'll find you and miss Shizuru when I'm done.

[Well not only did he just reveal Kurama's actual identity, he was also in his toddler form, which he has not once gone out in public with. Plus he was use to secrecy.

FEAR NOT! HE IS STILL IMMATURE!]

Very well then.

[Kurama halp! Shizuru has been dragging him to her joooob. ~~Baby wants to stay at home.~~]

[Secrecy that Koenma also wasn't always that good at. Tuxedo Mask, came to mind.

So immature. How does anything get done?

Pooooor baby. Keep going to work, Kurama has things to do.]

Until then...Stay out of trouble.

[There...might have been a bit of a sigh at the end of that.]

Welcome to Genessia. I'm Virgo.

[Yup, the constellation! How lucky you are! Only... not really. She's line-facing, and noting your inconsistencies.]

The central city is completely square with four other dimensions connected to gates at cardinal points. It would probably be wise to explore and set yourself up with a job if you have physical needs.

[There may or may not be another redhead with green eyes greeting Shuichi with a matched smile.]

Nice to meet you, too, Shuichi. I'm Luke. I haven't been here super long, myself- but, I can tell you this place isn't all that bad. In fact, I've heard quite a few people call it boring.

[He lets out a soft laugh.]

Well, anyway, your best bet is to get on with finding a job as soon as possible. It's not too difficult to find one. If you need someone to show you around, I usually have some free time after work.

[Since Takasu doesn't usually let him do anything around the apartment...Sigh.]

It's nice to meet you. I'm Kairi. [Well at least that's the introductions sorted at best.]

What hasn't been touched on.... I guess I wouldn't know so much as I haven't been here long enough.
