[IC] - All the World's a Game

John's apartment - Tokyo - Japan
Time: 8:45 PM

John's apartment was a pretty spacious room for a single person to live in. But then, there's his armor and his arsenal and everything, so it makes sense.
Yuuka haven't had the time to look at herself after she was spawned into the outside world. A mess she was in. Her plaid skirt and vest was largely okay, but her blouse was stained with dirt. It is most likely that herself is dirty too.

"I'm taking the shower first!" Yuuka shouted as she rushed into the bathroom and slammed the door.

They finally had reached John's apartment. It was fairly simple, having only the basics, as John was not one to relish in such.

As Renamon looked herself over, John went to his room, to take off his armor. He stepped onto the platform and the machine hummed to life.

WHIRRRRRRRRRRRRR

The others could hear the sound of electric motors performing their work on John's armor, in the other room.

X followed John, and the others to an old antique store, then his John's apartment. X looked at the rather large apartment "Big place... how can you afford something this large?" Asked X as he continued to look around. X was obviously surprised by the size of this apartment. Though it makes sense to be this big due to John's massive size. He then walks up to the couch, and sits down on the floor next to it.

Finally cleaning her fur with a wet cloth, Renamon managed to find a good place near the window to calm her stress she looked at the moon remembering her adventures with the Tamers in the Digital World, there were massive battles, but there were also times of peace.

"Its good to have peace from time to time" the vixen said calmly still looking at the moon

Once machine eventually finished it's work, John went to the console next to it and had it start running diagnostics to the recent upgrades.
He needed to know the maximum operational capacity of his armor, so then he wouldn't exceed it.

(Well, this has been an exciting day...)

For him, the kind of action today was what he was used to; always in combat, always outgunned, and always getting out alive. He put all of his ordinance into the closet, and got into normal clothes.
Without his armor, he was still a very tall person, standing at 6 feet and 10 inches. That's why he got a larger apartment.

He put everything away, and headed for the door.

(DO NOT WORRY, NOTHING LEWD WILL HAPPEN. That is 25% guaranteed. Actually 24%.)

While in the shower, Yuuka tried contacting Yukari. What came was a failure. Damn, Yuuka thought, when you're needed, you don't appear, eh?
"Who's not appearing?" Yukari's sudden gap into the air shocked Yuuka, as she slipped and fell.
"Yukari, why you-" Yuuka managed to suppress a laughter. Normal youkais would've been frightened or angered, but Yuuka, an elderly youkai already, found this to be hilarious. Not the falling of course. Yuuka will have Yukari's head for this.
"Ahahahaha, are you oka- oh, oh my, Yuuka, I'm not ready for this yet." Yukari laughed, then quickly blushed. Yuuka was, after all, taking a shower when Yukari suddenly popped out of nowhere.
"Shut up, before I blast you all the way to the Watatsuki sisters." Yuuka smirked as she got up.
"Ooh, scary, scary." Yukari giggled. "So, what was it that you needed from me?"



"I still don't know what to do. We managed to get some sort of list of humans who bought Characters for their personal needs, but should I really go hunt them down? Is it my responsibility?" Yuuka asked.
"I'll say this one thing and one thing only." Yukari answered. "Would you hunt those who bought Wriggle or Medicine?"
Yukari disappeared again into the gap, leaving Yuuka to ponder about Yukari's question. Would she hunt down anyone who bought Wriggle or Medicine? They were her favorite Youkais, after all.
Medicine was young, and her kindness to humans and Youkais were not as exemplary as Yuuka might have liked, but she was still a lovable, poisonous doll.
Wriggle was humble, and she had artistic talent. Her firefly shows in Garden of the Sun amused Yuuka every night.

Feeling ambiguous, Yuuka left the bathroom and called for the rest of the Characters in the apartment.
"Guys, finish whatever you are all doing and come to the living room."

As John was leaving his room, he heard a thud.

(What was that?)

John approached the bathroom door to see what all the commotion was about and was about to knock on the door until he heard a laugh.

"Yukari, why you-"

"Ahahahaha, are you oka- oh, oh my, Yuuka, I'm not ready for this yet."

"Shut up, before I blast you all the way to the Watatsuki sisters."

"Ooh, scary, scary." "So, what was it that you needed from me?"

"I still don't know what to do. We managed to get some sort of list of humans who bought Characters for their personal needs, but should I really go hunt them down? Is it my responsibility?"

"I'll say this one thing and one thing only." "Would you hunt those who bought Wriggle or Medicine?"


(What is that all about? Who is Wriggle and Medicine? What kind of name is Medicine anyway?...)

Then, a pleasant thought came to John's mind as he stood in front of the door.

(Wait...If that was Yukari talking to Yuuka, hen that means I didn't destroy Gensokyo.)

all of a sudden, John snapped back into reality as Yuuka called out.

"Guys, finish whatever you are all doing and come to the living room."

Hearing the florist ask for them, Renamon got close to Yuuka and mumbled "Finished your talk with your friend?", before the youkai could ask, the fox gestured her ears, she heard almost everything about it.

("Humans buying characters.. I wonder how Rika and the others could be living on this corrupted world..") Renamon thought walking towards the living room

As Yuuka left the bathroom, a giant, pale man confronted her. Not seeing where she was going, Yuuka bumped into him.
"Asdfgh-" Yuuka fell to the ground once again. Yuuka looked up to find that the man was oddly familiar.
"J- John? That's you without the armor?" Yuuka asked, clearly surprised that she would find that giant armored man, John, to be anything normal like him.

Aqua had followed the others to John's apartment. When she got in she looked around. ("What a strange world, just like the rest of them.")
She found a place to sit and sat down.

When Yuuka called Aqua got up and and came. "What is it? Got something planned?"
