Voiceless town, tapping feet [OPEN]

WHO: Allen Walker, Yuu Kanda, Neah Walker and YOU.
WHEN: June 29th, Dark Hour
WHERE: Around the city.
SUMMARY: Investigations, Personas and a creeper.
RATING: PG. Maybe PG-13?
WARNINGS: None, yet.

It was already midnight, and Allen’s outside on the street with Kanda in this eerie time of night. They’ve been investigating this phenomenon in the past week, both at day and at night.

Admittedly, Allen had separated from Kanda and gotten lost a fair number of times. Undoubtedly, this made the other Exorcist irritated, leading to them exchanging some words out of temper.

There’s also the fact that the 14th was somewhere in this city...

Incredibly irritated. Irritated enough to have idly considered putting that damn kid on a leash or something one of these days! But no, he wasn't that crazy, although splitting up seemed like a terrible idea when neither of them had weapons to use.

So, tonight, Kanda opted to stick around the other Exorcist as part-comrade, part-GPS, and part-babysitter.

And his patience was very quickly draining away.

He would protest against any use of a leash on him. He'll find a way to get rid of it. But he'll try to stay with Kanda without getting lost this time.

However, Allen knew Kanda's patience will run out at one point. It's just a matter of time.

The Exorcist looked around, for any signs of those creatures and maybe the 14th. Maybe.

"Oi."

A brief elbow to the side is all Allen gets as a signal to stop. Right off to the left, down an alley, there's something-- moving. An eerie black blob shifting against the ground. They were both seasoned veterans for strange things-- but the sight of it gave him chills down his spine.

Definitely. Definitely not normal. The real question is--

"Hostile?"

He stopped and looked over at where Kanda's staring at. While investigating unusual phenomena was one of their forte, he's not completely immuned to being unsettled.

"Most likely. I know a few people had been attacked by them."

Kanda's almost immune-- but damn if that thing wasn't creepy as hell. He didn't even know why-- it looked like jello.

"Great. And we don't have reliable weapons."

That's just fantastic.

"That means we'd just have to avoid them."

Was it really that simple? They'll find out, sooner or later.

"With your luck, they'll be everywhere we need to go."

It probably wasn't. Especially since a big, glowing red one is headed straight this way.

The red glow makes it looks more threatening, somehow. Allen won't bother voicing 'it's coming'.

Since it's coming, ready to move?

"..." Ready, and swearing. "Run for it."

"You as well." And run!

Running! Holy shit that thing is fast though.

"Tch! What the fuck is this thing made of?!"

For something that looks like jelly, it's moving fast.

"How would I know?!"

It's gaining on them!

"Shit--!"

Too fast. It's more out of habit than anything that makes Kanda shove Allen out of its path right around the corner; he knew he was recovering like a normal human being here, and it'd be bad news if he let himself get hit up bad.

But hell, bad habits are hard to break. And on a normal day, he could've taken this with no problem, but. Getting bowled over by a pink mass of--whatever hurt a lot more than he thought it would, and was probably gonna last a lot longer, too.

"Kanda!"

Normally, Allen wouldn't worry as much because of Kanda's regeneration. But in this place, he suspected that the other Exorcist doesn't have it anymore.

They can't use their Innocence here, they're effectively normal humans. This feeling of powerlessness got to Allen, who's used to wielding Crown Clown in battle. But he must do something.

Badum

Allen suddenly hold his head in his hand from the sudden headache. Then, a voice spoke.

Thou art I and I am thou...
I am Attis...
Our bodies may be different, but I am you... I put myself in your care.

There's a flash of light, before a bandaged figure appears and attack the Shadow.

He'd guessed right. Kanda had even tested it with a small cut on his finger-- it was still there, though scabbing over like a normal person's by now.

Regardless, Kanda was momentarily stunned on the ground while this went down-- unfortunately for Allen, a red blob was a Strong Blob, and it was definitely getting distracted from the stunned guy to the one attacking it.

And it's certainly fighting back.

Allen looked up, watching the red blob fighting with the strange being in a daze and awe. The more the person, Attis, fought, the more tired Allen get.

And the Shadow managed to land a good blow.

Finally picking himself up off the ground, Kanda took in the surreal image with a sort of strange pallor. Up until that blow was landed, at any rate-- and then it was Kanda's turn to feel helpless, unable to do any more than watch while his only comrade struggled with a new power, against a new enemy, neither of which he was willing to bet were understood.

He felt-- angry, and restless, and not for the first time in his life did he wish so strongly he could do more than just whack things with a metal stick. Anything--

"Sprout!"

He didn't even register saying anything, too busy trying to figure out why his head had begun to hurt like a hammer had been taken to it, too busy trying to overcome his fear and worry and panic (because he was all of those things at once, even if he'd deny it to hell and high water later) and too busy realizing with a start that that distinctly female voice he was hearing-- was all in his head. He barely recognized the words, and his eyes were unfocused, his head hurt so badly.

Thou art I...
I am thou...
With the storm in thy soul I am called forth...
I am Ame-no-Uzume, and we fight as one.

His vision cleared-- and the pain lifted-- and he saw the weirdest woman (http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20080706000229/megamitensei/images/thumb/9/9a/Amenouzume.jpg/454px-Amenouzume.jpg) he'd ever seen-- and watched her cover Allen and the bandaged man with light, a light that seemed soothing even to merely witness.

He's been following. Following, and watching this entire time to see what events could possibly unfold between the two exorcists. He's quite happy that he followed, actually. Seeing that their little show gave him a small amount of entertainment. But now, he figures that it should be safe to enter the stage.

"Well done." Neah approaches them, slowly. All the while clapping his hands with the faintest smile. "You've put on a nice show."

That light was soothing, and Allen can feel his tiredness and pain going away. It's quite comforting, after managing to defeat the enemy with his new found power.

However, the feeling of relief was brushed aside when he heard that voice. Allen looked over at Neah, the 14th.

Startled, Kanda instantly glared at the newcomer from his spot kneeling on the ground. Still hurt too much to move, but he had a solution for that now, if he could figure out how to do that again.

"Tch-- how long have you been there, you bastard?!"

"I've been following you since you've left. I was quite taken back that you never noticed."

Slowly, he approaches Allen and Kanda. Fully aware that shadows may still be surrounding them.

"Why are you here?"

How could he not noticed his presence? Allen just glared back at him, wondering why he followed them. He's still keenly aware of the Shadows that's still around, waiting for their chance.

"I need a reason to see by nephew and his friend?"

Oh, you hurt him so much, Allen. "I figured I would keep an eye on you two. Seeing that you rarely seem to think before you act."

"What the-- keep an eye on us?!" Oh this seems so backward. Honestly, now, they'd been searching for this asshole for--how long? And he's been here the whole damn time.

"Don't call me 'nephew'!"

Neah may be Mana's brother, but Allen won't see him as his uncle. There's simply no love and he still hate this man.

"And why would you be so concerned?"

He catches wind of something -- A shadow. Seemingly interrupting a conversation he was having with his nephew and Kanda! He couldn't have that now, could he?

"My, how rude of you..." For a instant, this could easily be misunderstood to thinking the statement was aimed toward Kanda and Allen. However, as he approaches them, his grin is aimed toward the shadow, rather than the two exorcists on the floor.

"You dare to interrupt a conversation?" It's in that moment that he feels his head throb and hears an unfamiliar voice echoing in the back of his head.

Thou art I and I am thou... ~~We're a happy family~~
I am Nyarlathotep.
Bring Chaos and Ruin to those who stand in our way.

When his head stops throbbing, he shifts his gaze to the demon next to him. ... And the shadow that reduces into nothing when (1) Frei spell is sent it's way. "... Well then. I did not expect that."

"...Great. Now the Sprout-wannabe is doing it too."

Kanda manages to get up on his feet, finally, though he still looks pretty shitty. Though it makes him wonder... He reaches for that power again and finds it surprisingly close-- it doesn't take much effort at all to call up Ame-no-Uzume again for a brief Dia.

He's tired. But he's not in pain. That makes it easier.

Allen glance over when Ame-no-Uzume appears, then back at Neah. While it bothers him that he can use this strange power as well, seeing what Kanda just did also makes him wonder. He focus and doesn't take that long to find it. Attis...

"...Instead of our powers, we got them."

Once Nyarlathotep disappears, Neah turns to face both Allen and Kanda. First, faintly glaring at Kanda for that ridiculous nickname; Then gazing over at Allen and his words.

"... Quite a bother."

It will be his nickname forever now. He rather likes it, you see. What he doesn't like is the idea that he definitely wasn't going to get Mugen back again. And he gets...a light-up healy spell instead? He doesn't approve.

"Tch. More like ridiculous."

It's a thought that came to his mind, after seeing their new powers. He's not as defenseless, but it bothers him to not have his Crown Clown and curse.

"Then what do you suggest?"

"We wait. There is not much we can do."

Seeing that they cannot leave this place. ... Sigh. This place was becoming more bothersome than he ever dreamed it would.
