After purchasing the mysterious book from the shopkeeper Kurai opened it to see what was inside. He'd ended up buying the thing without actually checking what it was about since his hand reacted to it. Once he did he saw why as it was about how to draw hands. An odd choice for a pentacle connected to Hell to choose, but he could see the connection at least. His hand called out to more hands. When Kitty asked about the other services the shop offered Kurai caught something out of the corner of his eye. A small black egg sitting nearby called out to him as well. He was finding all sorts of interesting objects today. He picked it up and to his surprise, it felt like some sort of rubber toy. After giving it a few very light squeezes it even bounced back and stretched like rubber! “Weird. Alright, I'll take this too, but I think that'll be it for today.” He turned over the points for his additional purchase before sliding it into his inventory for later. Once he got back to the guild he knew just what he was going to do with it. De/buffs: N/A Used: N/A Kathryne Karlberg

While Lowell was using their newly bought chisel to carve some new tombstones Seere watched to make sure everything was going smoothly. Meanwhile, Kurai slowly worked on those that remained intact. He carefully scrubbed the paint away with the bubbling solution he mixed together making sure not to leave any scratches on the stone. Unlike his mission partner, he was intimately familiar with the work he was doing so it didn't take long. By the time Lowell was done, Kurai was already done. He had his hands clasped together and his head bowed in prayer to whatever spirits inhabited the graveyard. Even though he turned his back on his father's religion he wasn't about to trace a cross on his chest with an actual demon nearby. Who knows what may happen to Seere... and him now that he had a connection to them? “All done here. You ready to go?”Once they were both done a breeze blew through the area as if to alert the pair of the spirit's contentment. They'd done well. “Looks like everything is all set here.” With their cleanup done and those in the afterlife appeased Kurai began to make his way back to the starting point of their adventure.

With Panya focused on the dentist elf he and Elara could handle the speedster. The tanky woman wasn't well suited to dealing with them anyway. Not that he was either with how slow he was, but at least he could hamper their speed somewhat. The new skill he acquired would be a huge help as it grew black twisted goat horns from the top of his head. With the fast Hermey startled by Elara's spooky face, Kurai was able to close the gap quite easily without them running away. He launched forward at the elf and grabbed onto their arm once he was in range. The pentacle on the back of his hand glowed with an intense red aura as it was branded into the speedster's flesh and drained their life away. The elf screamed out in pain before slipping from Kurai's grasp and running from the group. “Doing good Panya! How's it going with the weirdo?”De/buffs: Utopia Bandanna (+20% VIT and WIL.

Geez it seemed like Hana was a walking armory with how many items and weapons she kept pulling out. Kurai couldn't imagine anything would stand a chance against her with how ridiculously overpowered she was. She likely could have handled the encounter by herself if she wanted. “I think you mean your lawn. And don't worry about it. You'll be the one paying to fix it after all.”
However the same could be said of Hikari. Maybe... She did take a decent hit after all. Now that all the commotion was finished Kurai ran over to his sister and examined the wound. Not that he could do anything about it. “You need to be more careful. Just because you can control swords now doesn't mean you're invincible.” Although his words were harsh he wasn't sure what he'd do if something happened to her.
While he was busy worrying about Hikari's health Hana summoned a dressing room of all things. Ridiculous. For some reason, his sister seemed to trust the airhead so he and Seere followed her in while giving the musician the stink eye. The inside was just what Kurai expected out of a dressing room. His father had built something similar for the siblings to hold their clothes. Although they weren't magical of course.
Once again following Hikari's advice, he began looking around the dressing room for anything suitable to wear. Most of the options were suited more towards women than men as to be expected of a dressing room suited to Hana. “Things have been good. I met a woman who is pretty into archaeology so they're pretty interested in Seere here. We've done a few missions together.” While looking around he shoved a few of the snacks on offer into his mouth before continuing. “Real sick of this Earth-Chan though.”
After looking around for a bit Kurai managed to find something suiting his tastes. He donned the dark blue suit, but Seere refused the change of clothes. With him dressed he prepared to leave the subspace once his sister did the same. “How have you been Hikari?”

Who knew that just finding a place that sells books would be so hard? After walking through Unison Central for what seemed like hours in search of a store that suited his needs Kurai finally stumbled upon a bookstore. 'Kitty's Novel Idea' huh? The name was pretty good and the outside looked cute enough. He could only hope the items inside were just as good. Upon entering the store Kurai was impressed at the sudden change. He whistled before donning a mock British accent for a moment as he expressed his surprise. “Wow. It's bigger on the inside...” The services on offer were interesting as well. He only expected books and perhaps a small cafe, but the potion cauldron and anvil were unusual. How many more services could this place provide if given the chance? While he looked around the shelves for something of interest Kurai ran his hand along the spines of the books he passed. It took a few minutes for him to find something that caught his eye. The pentacle on the back of his hand glowed red upon touching one of the books on the bestseller shelf. “You.” A smile spread across his face as he examined what his hand reacted to before bringing it up to the counter for purchase. He found a few more items that caught his eye on his way. A comic about a man who causes misfortune and an old scroll. “I'll take this book. These others for good measure.”De/buffs: Utopia Bandanna (+20% VIT and WIL. Resistance to Slashing, Piercing, Bludgeoning, and Fire damage) Used: N/A Kathryne Karlberg

Once Lowell found the source of the problem Kurai put down his book to check out what was going on. He groaned and a frown appeared on his face as he saw the carnage. Multiple gravestones were destroyed and others were covered with graffiti. “Bastards... Even I wouldn't stoop this low.” Who would go around desecrating graves for no reason? Pathetic. If you're going to wreck something at least have a reason. While he looked through the system store for a couple of items he'd need to clean up Seere moved over to examine Lowell's attempts at carving a new gravestone. “You can do as my summoner is. This 'System Store' allows you to buy any item you may need. Perhaps a chisel is in order.” As if to emphasize their point Kurai pulled a bottle of vinegar, baking soda, and a wire bristle brush. “You're lucky this is right up my alley,” he said as he used the items to clean the paint off the graves. He had to be careful not to leave any marks with the brush, but the process was going well. “How are things going on your end?”De/buffs: +20% SPD Used: N/A Lowell

As expected from this sort of event it didn't take long for others to show up. Along with the festive creatures now wandering the once-tropical area, there were groups of people gathering presents. A few of them even decided to approach him. Seeing Panya again brought his mood up somewhat as he moved under her makeshift umbrella. “Good to see you too. Seems we keep getting paired up for these ridiculous events. Looks like this one will be easier than the last at least.” Kurai grumbled as he continued to pick up gifts from the ground and give them a shake. When he heard someone else nearby calling out to them Kurai turned his attention to her with a raised eyebrow. He hadn't seen this person before so maybe they wanted help completing the mission. “No. This is my first time seeing them.” He waved the woman over under the sarcophagus. “Hey. Name's Kurai and the strong woman is Panya. Want a hand dealing with the mission?”It was then that the group could hear a devilish cackle come from something nearby. Turning to see what it was Kurai saw a pair of elves rushing at the group. One of them was dressed in a white coat that you'd see doctors wear complete with a nametag that said 'Hermey'. They wielded a dentist's drill in one hand and pliers in the other. “What the hell is that?...” While Kurai was questioning if what he was seeing was real another elf came from behind to shove him out from under the cover and to the ground before zipping away. “Son of a bitch! There's two of them!” After picking himself up he noticed the one that hit him was wearing a pair of golden shoes with white wings on the heel. Kurai let out a frustrated yell before whipping his right hand in its direction sending out a torrent of what looked like black electricity with red streaks at the elf. Thankfully it connected knocking the bastard back as well as causing the electricity to cling to and course through their body. “That'll slow the fucker down...”De/buffs: Utopia Bandanna (+20% VIT and WIL.

For some reason, the beast didn't seem too concerned with dodging attacks. Kurai could understand that they would basically shrug off the attacks from him and Seere. It was odd that they didn't bother avoiding Hikari's and Hana's attacks as well. It was like its sole focus was eliminating its enemies. That just made it even easier to slay the guard dog as Hana could stop its attack and get in a few blows as well. Kurai couldn't believe the Cerberus was still standing after his sister removed one of its heads. At least it didn't sprout another one like some sort of hydra as Hana feared. Soon enough the beast was stunned by the electricity running through its body and the sparks that flew from the wound. Even though it wasn't moving Kurai didn't want to expose himself unnecessarily. “Alright. Let's hope this is it!” When Hikari called out the pair aimed their attacks at the neck joint of the left head. A mix of black and gray energy shot into the joint causing it to pop off slightly and become ajar, but could not knock it off completely like his sister did. “Damn...” He knew he was weaker than her, but still it was disappointing he couldn't even do that much.

Kurai read each of the long explanation messages sent to him as the pair hobbled down the hallway. He went through the menus to check the information suggested by Waddle Dee-Dee. Setting up the hud like they mentioned took longer than expected. “I feel like I'm playing some sort of MMO now.” The other explanations didn't help that feeling much. They even advertised fetch quests, Guilds, and... some sort of restaurant. What the hell? “Sure. I'll check it out.”At least he could keep an eye on Seere's condition now so he didn't have to worry so much about them. It looked like their health bar barely moved from the attack earlier. As expected demons were much sturdier than mortals. When the messages warned him that there were even more enemies waiting for him Kurai grit his teeth before yelling. “More of these bastards?! I'm so sick of this shit!” He quickly ripped open the door to the lab and examined the room. Three people in lab coats immediately spun around to look at him. As did the many people locked in a cage in the corner of the lab. Once again the people started yelling and moving towards the pair like the guards in the security room. Before the scientists could do anything about the demon and young man wandering into their space they started blasting. Kurai was the first to send a blast of energy towards the group before Seere launched their own at the approaching enemies. Each one knocked someone to the ground before the final one quickly turned tail and fled. “Good riddance.”With the scientists dealt with they moved over to the cage causing the prisoners to huddle in the corner farthest from the door. Seere broke the lock off the door with their spear and opened it, but none of them moved. With a frustrated yell, Kurai slammed his fist into the bars of the cage. “What the hell are you waiting for?! Get out of here already!” Finally the prisoners began to flee from the lab down the hallway the pair arrived from. “There. Job done. Let's get the hell out of here.”De/buffs: N/A Used: Basic Attack x2 (F-rank damage) deedee

What the hell was all this?! The once tropical island that his Guild inhabited suddenly looked like the top of Mount Everest! To top it all off boxes were falling from the sky! Kurai could swear that Earth-Chan was trying to kill them. With the event taking over his current place of residence, how could he not become involved? “Damn thing. It isn't enough to change the weather now we have to worry about getting knocked in the head by who knows what.” Kurai spat and sputtered as he moved around the island picking up presents by himself. Seere didn't even want to be summoned due to the snow and cold. Looking around why would they want to be? When he picked up a gift he'd shake it a few times to try to guess what was inside before chucking it into his inventory. “Can't even keep the crap if I want to finish the mission.”An Island HolidayDe/buffs: Utopia Bandanna (+20% VIT and WIL.

Just as Waddle Dee-Dee said things were getting much more dangerous. The demon that slaughtered the first guards they met had just taken damage and Kurai had become concerned. Were demons able to die from normal human weapons? “Hey uh... So can these summons like... Die and stuff? How am I supposed to get through this if a literal demon can't handle it?”Even though he asked the question Kurai already knew the answer. One of his abilities specifically said it could bring his summons back to life. If he wasn't careful could Seere die permanently and leave him almost defenseless? How in the hell did he get stuck babysitting a demon? With one enemy down Kurai rushed towards the guard that struck his companion as they were winding up for another blow. A punch to the side of their head exploded with black energy knocking them to the ground. While they were scrambling to their feet they whipped their baton at his leg causing him to crumple to the ground as well. “Son of a bitch!” Seere sighed at their summoner's sudden burst of bravado, and slight incompetence, before removing their spear from the body of their opponent. They hadn't so much as budged from the guard's strike yet this young man was nearly incapacitated from one hit. It was somewhat pathetic. Another quick thrust sent the weapon into the man getting up from the ground. “We are almost finished. Stand.” Once they confirmed the second guard was no longer moving Seere helped their summoner up off the ground. While they propped up Kurai and began walking to the door leading to the lab he had more questions. “Damn real life has a cash shop now? We just can't escape this shit huh? First, it ruins games and now it's even making the rest of life awful. What else do I have to worry about?”De/buffs: N/A Used: Basic Attack x2 (F-rank damage) deedee

Even though Kurai showed her the way to the second nearest entrance he stayed behind his sister's friend. There was no sense in him leading the pack when he was significantly weaker than the women he was accompanying. Who knows what else they would run into once they got inside? “Yeah you're probably right. He was pretty protective of his things.” Which is why he so loved to break them. Despite saying that Kurai didn't expect the loud howl that rang through the property. They didn't have a dog... Did they? He wouldn't put it past his father to get a guard dog, but when did that happen? Did that bastard load in already? Whether or not their father was in the new world they still had to deal with the massive creature that burst through the front door to protect the estate. While Hikari and Hana immediately jumped into action Kurai was much too slow to react to the beast's assault. Luckily his sister was there to protect him from the stream of ice headed their way. “Damn... Thanks sis.”“Come on Seere let's get out of the way.” As she suggested Kurai ran away from the Cerberus with the demon following closely behind. It was best not to stay too close to something that could likely kill him without so much as a thought. Once the pair found a good place to hide they hunkered down before aiming at the eyes of the large dog and launching a couple bolts of energy at them. They may not be able to do much damage, but hopefully, they'd be able to make the fight a bit easier for the women. De/buffs: Utopia Bandanna (+20% VIT and WIL.

Waddle Dee-Dee's explanation sounded like something straight out of a video game. If he didn't know any better Kurai would think he was reading one of those pamphlets you used to get that explained the game you just bought. “Okay sure. I guess I should go through this like I would a game right? Explore everything I can and get the most out of it.”“Let's hope this goes smoothly. This hasn't exactly gone as well as it could have so far.” At least whatever this was had some sort of messaging system so Kurai could sneak around if he wanted to. “You need not worry as long as I am here, summoner. It is my duty to protect you just as it is our guide's.” It seemed like the messages popping up were useful for more than just information. Who knew that whoever their guide was could see the area around the pair? They could even warn him in advance that enemies were ahead. “Alright. You go first.” Kurai nodded at the demon as he peaked around the corner to see two guards facing away from their location. An easy enough target for Seere given how they dispatched another two just a few minutes before. The man in gray armor rushed forward and just as the guards were turning to see who was approaching the demon had another guard skewered on their spear. However, this time it wasn't enough to finish off the man. Kurai was surprised to see that his demon companion wasn't able to kill the man outright as they did so easily before. Were the enemies getting stronger already? When the guard not impaled by Seere's spear struck his summon with a baton he decided it was time he joined the fight. “Shit! I've got him!” It was his first time trying to use the ability he read on the system menu so hopefully, it went well. Using his finger to aim the pentacle on the back of his hand glowed once more before a bolt of black energy shot at the guard. His aim was off causing the bolt to hit the side of the injured man instead of the one assaulting his summon. Their body went limp, but there was no time to consider the implications of what he had just done. “Damn that's cool...”De/buffs: N/A Used: Basic Attack x2 (F-rank damage) deedee

Maria sounded like a fast food commercial in the way she announced her love for the festival. She was a rather vibrant woman who fit right in with everything going on. Kurai on the other hand wasn't entirely sure how to feel about the situation. Despite appearances, Japan wasn't exactly the best place for queer individuals. “It took me a bit to load in so there's still a good chance you'll see her again someday. If not, no better place to find a new girlfriend than here, right? ”While Kurai did a good amount of traveling in his day due to business trips with his father L.A. was one of the few well-known places he hadn't been yet. “New York is great, but I didn't really have a chance to check it out while I was there. I haven't been able to check out any queer spaces. It's about what I expected. Almost reminds me of an anime convention with how some people are dressed.” He couldn't help but chuckle at the ridiculousness of his comparison. Once Maria introduced herself he reached out to shake her hand. “Kurai. He/Him. Gay as well and also single. Found a cute guy in my tutorial, but he sorta disappeared after.” It was then that they could hear something being announced over the speakers. “With the solo fighting competition over and the winner crowned we will soon begin the pairs tournament! Anyone who wants to participate please make your way to the ring at the center of the festival!” “A team tournament? That could be pretty cool.
