Pio's Apothecary and Clinic | Scrapyard District | 8:43 AM

Yosho was doing a fine job cleaning up the blood. The bodies he'd set together in a group off to the side. The floor, despite Yosho's efforts still looked terrible, considering Yosho had no idea where or how to get water. Instead he was just soaking up as much as he could and depositing it in a bucket. His kills were very clean and quick, but they left blood regardless.

The door began to open and Yosho's body withdrew into the tension one feel when something is uncertain. Was this a friend, or foe? His head darted to the side and his left arm paused, ready to grab his blade. Much to his relief, a charming, if not worse for wear, young girl had walked in. He was about to say hello when--

"EEP!", She screamed "Wha- WHAT HAPPENED?!"

Yosho didn't flinch. He wasn't surprised at all. Afterall, that was a perfectly appropriate response to the situation. Yosho stood, turning to face the girl. He was hauntingly casual about the fact he was standing among blood and bodies. Despite showing no hostility, his eyes still seemed to probe Pio for weaknesses--the perfect chance to strike. Everything about the young man in Pio's shop marked him as a warrior, and a far cry from the boy who came in to get tonics and salves for the merchant.

"Sorry. These men came in here looking for me, and talking about raping you. So I killed them." How Charismatic, he was! Yosho spoke plainly and simply, feeling no remorse for doing what had to be done.

I gazed up at the sable-haired maiden with eyes so full of warmth it appeared she was crying silently. My trecherous mouth opened, "Why do you look so troubled, Princess?"

Slowly, she moved her eyes from the moon to me. She studied my imperfections before her for what seemed to be a blissful eternity before gracing me with her voice, "I've slain this land's only prince. What use, now, is a princess?"

As the maiden left my presence, so too did my heart.

"Good idea. I should probably give you mine too. The name's Joel, Joel Arken." Joel flashed a cocky smile.

"And I'm Avi. I suppose my surname would be Arken as well." Avi bowed slightly.

Both notably couldn't stop looking at the glowing chains that Valerie held.

There was a long pause after the two introduced themselves to Valerie and Anthony. Anthony waited impatiently next to Valerie. Valerie was looking around, wondering what to say next, when her eyes found what Joel and Avi were looking at.

"Oh, my chains. I'm sorry for not explaining why they glow. I believe they're tied to my emotions." Valerie held up her chains. "Well they're blue now because I'm calm, and they get cold too. And when I'm angry, they turn red and get hot. When we're running from someone, I make myself scared so they turn black and conceal noises, but we also head into the shadows to hide."

"Hey, do you think they'll turn pink if you're embarrassed or green if you're jealous Val?" Anthony questioned his sister. "Also, can I feel them? You've only let me feel them when they're black."

"No Tony. If it's too cold, you might get sick, and if it's too hot, it might burn you." Valerie told her brother before looking back at the others. "So uh, I'm curious. If you two share a name, does that mean you're married, or related?"

"So, tell me again where we're going?" Dahlia asked passively, following Deus slowly down the streets of Fantasia, she slowly glanced around at all of the figments sharing the streets with them, many looked human. Many looked less than human. Some were outright amorphous blobs.

"To a friends house," Deus started, "I haven't visited her in awhile and I wanted to make sure she's doing alright. She lives in the Scrap district and things can get pretty dangerous there. Hey wanna see something cool?" Deus said, casually materializing a black film noir fedora in his hand and placing it on his head. With his Trenchcoat, he looked strikingly similar to the private investigators and other protagonists of old 40s films.

"That's an awfully shady look for you, Deus." Dahlia observed, "So if this place is so dangerous, why are you bringing me?"

"You've gotta learn somehow, don't ya? Magni have strong wills. You've already got the Imaginary Power for it, just need to have the heart."

"And how is putting me in danger going to...." Dahlia began to question before...

"NO IDEA!" Deus interrupted, "But it seems to work. At least, it provides experience. Provided a lot of Magni in this world are either lazy or jerks, they all have a strong belief in themselves. There aren't nearly as many Magni as there are Impotensi like yourself, but..."

"What did you just call me?"

"Impotens. Means you can't manifest your thoughts."

"....Oh."

"But..." he continued, "If you want to manifest your thoughts, you have to believe in yourself."

Dahlia flushed slightly as Deus pointed out her utter lack of self-esteem. He seemed to know a lot more about her than he should know maybe... No. There's no way he had learned anything from the dreams she always had about this place. Dahlia pondered the situation at hand as they traveled.

Avi bit her lip, thinking about her answer to the question and the subsequent response from the siblings.

"No, no, nothing like that. I'm... actually a Figment, Joel's Figment to be specific."

"If anything, she'd be closer to being my sister." Joel cut in with a slightly distracted gaze.

"So we're gonna take on a Daemon... Those are like the bad Deis, right? How dangerous will it be?" Valerie unconsciously looked to Anthony.

"I bet we'll go to their hideout, then ambush them from the shadows. They won't even see us coming."

Joel grinned from ear to ear upon hearing Anthony's response. "I like how you think, kid."

"Don't forget, we need to go and get her to help first. Let's go to the library."

The siblings began to follow Joel and Avi.

"So, what happens if this person doesn't feel like helping?" Valerie asked them.

"If she doesn't feel like helping, I'll get her to give us some guns. Even though she should help because she owes me."

"We're going after a Daemon right? Are they the one I'm supposed to learn from? Or are we attracting that one Deus you said sometimes comes to keep the peace?" Valerie asked.
