Humanity (Sharaku)

Subject: Humanity (Sharaku) Wed Aug 12, 2015 11:54 am

The DJ hummed gently, walking down the streets of San Malarus towards a small cafe. She wasn't hungry or anything... Though, she did plan on meeting a certain someone she knew... And like the gent he was, how could he resist the invitation she sent? Eh heh... The DJ would be lucky if he wasn't mad at her or something... She owed him an apology after all... Hopefully he'd take it...

Regardless, the DJ sat at a table for two, a menu laid in front of her describing different coffees and pastries as well as a few different lunch options such as soups and salads. It was a quaint cafe, nice and clean. It was a little empty at the time, though, business was slow from time to time for this nice cafe. The DJ enjoyed coming here for lunch after a morning full of song creating... Was she, like, a regular now? Huh... That was an odd thought... Heh.

The DJ leaned back in her seat, looking out the window next to the table she sat at. It was a nice view, the cafe positioned next to a small but elegant looking park. It was truly a nice looking area to say the least. She hoped the scenery would make the gent happy... Actually, what did make him happy? The DJ didn't really know... Oh well, here's to hoping they had a rad time at the least, no?

She continued with her thoughts as she waited for Sharaku's arrival, humming gently to herself before a roll of thunder caught her attention. It didn't take long before a light shower came falling down from dark skies... This was quite... Uncool... The DJ huffed and rolled her eyes, regretting that she ever believed the weather radar for such important meetings as this... Hopefully Sharaku would still come... Hopefully, eh heh...

Subject: Re: Humanity (Sharaku) Wed Aug 12, 2015 4:13 pm

It's been a while since that one meeting Rita called, that was for sure. And Sharaku didn't really expect for Rin specifically to have a big interest in meeting him again. Personally, nonetheless. They were a bit at odds before, so he wasn't sure what reason would she have for wanting to see him alone. She had been planning...to go search Standasen, yes? Assuming he remembered right. Was she already done with that? Even then...what did she want with him...? Ah well, thinking about it would not give him an answer. He had no problem with seeing her, so might as well find out that way, no?

...though, he was not planning for bad weather. Could give a warning. And sadly he did not live across the street. Thus he couldn't exactly...pass by the rain just like that. Joy. He would get there regardless, walking up to the girl after a quick scan of the place. Thankfully, she was still easy to notice. ''Hello. It's been a while.'', he'd say with a thin smile. He probably looked a bit ridiculous now. Frankly, he was...kind of sopping wet. Thanks to the rain. He would frown a bit, trying to blow away a strand of hair from his vision, albeit not very successfully, due to it being stuck to his face with the water. Ah well. Either way, he would wait for what she had to say for now.

Subject: Re: Humanity (Sharaku) Wed Aug 12, 2015 9:29 pm

The DJ huffed as she waited for Sharaku. Would he notice if she had changed at all...? She had been blessed by an angel after all... Did she look any different as a cause of it? Maybe she acted a little different? To be fare, she felt a little different ever sense she has gotten blessed.. Calmer and less worried about things... Mallory had even noticed the small shift in her attitude... It was strange... Weirdly so but... She felt better as a part of it.

The DJ looked out the rainy window, a light sigh escaping her as she saw the once pretty park shrouded by darkness and gloom. The DJ loved how the park looked on its own... It made her sad that it became all sad and stuff... Though, she perked up at Sharaku's words, smiling and motioning with her hands to sit.

"Hey! It has been, huh? Well, how's it been goin? Good I hope?" the DJ said with a pleasant smile, glad to see the gent actually came. She was afraid he wouldn't have came... Ya know, their last covo had been kinda bad... She hoped there wasn't any hard feelings and jazz but you could never really know with people... Oh well, it seemed that the two weren't on bad terms at the least.

"Hey... Sorry for that fuss last time... Guess I was kinda stressed and shiz... No hard feeling, aight?" the DJ said with a nice smile, holding he hand out for Sharaku to shake. He looked... Wet... Oh, did the storm hit him? That was zeta uncool... Hope he wasn't cold...

Subject: Re: Humanity (Sharaku) Thu Aug 13, 2015 12:25 pm

....it was going. He was going to skewer that question one day. Even though he had no idea just why did it keep irking him. Maybe it was the fact that it wasn't exactly possible to be doing really good nowadays. Unless you were Mr Oblivious to everything. ''Good enough. If it can even be called good these days.'', he would answer eventually with a slight shrug as he sat down. That's that.

He would shake his head a bit. ''It's fine. I get that a lot anyway.'' It wasn't the first time he clashed with someone like that afterall. He could live it, as long as it did not go too far out of control for some lame reason. He would accept the handshake though. ''Is there anything you wanted from me except that?'', he'd ask afterwards, doing his best to ignore the fact that water was kind of dripping down the side of his face. Long hair plus wet was a bad idea. That would take ages to dry on its own.

Subject: Re: Humanity (Sharaku) Thu Aug 13, 2015 1:17 pm

Eh... Yah, supposed that was true... The DJ had heard about that riot, though, not enough to really know all the details... A few hours on some online forums could possibly be enough to find the deeds of what happened but... Did the DJ really wanna know? From what little she did know... Regardless, the DJ would smile and nod her head in an almost rueful way. Things where getting bad... Really bad too...

"... Yah... Least we can still keep our heads held high, yah?" the DJ said with a gentle nod of her head, smiling gently again. That's what the DJ thought at the least... Everything would be okay in the end... It had too, right? There was no way everything would just end... Right...? Eh, regardless, these thoughts weren't what brought the DJ to call Sharaku over. These thoughts ehere... Not needed ever.

"Okay... If you say so... I just felt bad about it was all... I was kinda out of line and making a big fuss over nothing." the DJ said with a light sigh, twisting a strand of her hair before gently flinging it over her shoulder. Now came the 'fun' talk if it could be called that... She wondered how he'd respond even... Who knew...

"... I found the Standasen angel." the DJ said simply enough, tilting her head to look out the window. The rain reminded her of the swamp and Standasen... Something bad was going on there... She knew it... She could feel it...

"Something bad is happening on Standasen, Sharaku... But I don't know what and the angel didn't even elude to the fact there was something off but... You can feel it when you're on that island... It's awful..." the DJ said with a sigh, crossing her arms before looking towards the gent. Now came the 'fun' things.

"... The angel blessed me. His wish is one to allow humanity to grow stronger on its own... Um, so yah... My plans kinda failed in one way and succeeded in another. Guess I just wanted to let someone know what happened and what I know now... Suppose that counts for something, huh?" the DJ said with a light smile. She still didn't know a lot but... That feeling... And those rumors...

Subject: Re: Humanity (Sharaku) Thu Aug 13, 2015 5:48 pm

''More like we have to.'' They could, yes, but that alone was not enough, was it? Either way, picking at words wasn't exactly what he was here for, so he would opt to listen to what she had to say and all. She must have had a reason to call him over besides saying sorry. That would have been a bit too little of a reason to make him come to a restaurant and sit down. He would wave a hand vaguely. ''I am not bothered. As long as it doesn't get out of control, I can live some clashes. Afterall, we can't always agree on everything.'' He wouldn't hold it against her. It was only that one time for now anyway. It could be a problem if they argued too often, but that would be something to see later.

That said, he would stay quiet as she spoke, only raising an eyebrow slightly when she said she found the Angel. Well, that happened? He knew she had gone there for that, in a way, but he hadn't thought she would have found one so easily. Perhaps this Angel wasn't as elusive? Because he and Rita have had a fairly hard time searching for Sraosha back then, with little to no result. He would frown a little. ''I wouldn't say it's only Standasen. It's going bad everywhere, most likely. Though, it could be that it means the world is in danger of going down soon, like Zela and Malstu have. Wouldn't bet against that.'' It easily could. It's been a while since the Malstu's volcano erupted, and he doubted the Primordials were taking an extended vacay. Something was bound to go down soon enough.

He would just smile thinly when she said she joined said Angel. He did notice something before she said it..but, he wasn't too good at guessing yet. He knew it was possible to feel it, but he hadn't focused on it before, nor was he sure how is it supposed to feel to begin with. He should probably take note this time, so he would know if this kind of thing happens later. He would look at her thoughtfully. ''What do you mean by allowing humanity to grow stronger on its own exactly?'', he'd ask, somewhat curious. It sounded like a strange wish, going from what he knew of the Angels so far. He opted to not mention that he was techincally with an Angel himself yet. He'd rather hear what she thought first. Most likely about facing the rest of them as well. Unless she somehow guessed it. If she did, he wouldn't deny it, as that wasn't what he was aiming for.

Subject: Re: Humanity (Sharaku) Fri Aug 14, 2015 10:02 am

Yah... Made sense... Staying positive was almost a must these days, huh? Eh, oh well... The DJ'd stay positive and hope for the best until the end... She knew everything would be okay, so why stress over it too? Like, there was no way they'd just let Ananke and Thesis walk all over them! They'd kick their primordial buts back to hell~! Hah!

"True... Well, okay then. Forgive and forget and yada yada~!" the DJ said with a light nod of her head, accompanied by a gentle smile. She was happy that things where at least okay between the two. It'd be bad if the team fell apart because of them, yo... At least they could alleviate any concern Rita or Oki had about them... That'd be good, yah?

"Huh? Ya think so...? So, like... What'll happen to Asha if Standasen gets all... Cursed and stuff...? Do I need to go and, like, do things? I mentioned that trap but... Asha can't do anything like that... Though... Hum..." the DJ fell silent for a moment, gently tapping her foot against the floor as a hand rested on her chin. Could Asha thicken his fog? Or even change its color? Maybe they could use that ghost weed to their advantage... That'd be nice... She'd have to ask him, like, soon.

"I have an idea... But I dunno if it'll even work... Wanna hear it or nah?" the DJ asked the gent. She wouldn't force him to listen to one of her far fetched ideas... Plus, the primordials probably had angel trackers or something... Still, it was worth a shot... Though, shots in the dark could be hella bad...

"... Exactly what it sounds like, yo... Asha Vatisthta, the one who gave humanity truth... He doesn't think we, the whole of humanity, are ready for the event as we stand and... Seeing how the people are right now... I kinda have to agree... He wants to push the event back and let us get stronger. Train, rebuild, spread the word, boost moral... Just get stronger on our own without another wish forcing us to become stronger." the DJ said with a light nod, crossing her arms. She didn't know what Asha's wish would be the second time around... But she'd stand by his wish... She had too...

Subject: Re: Humanity (Sharaku) Fri Aug 14, 2015 11:01 am

Sharaku would just smile thinly. Well, it's not really possible to forget. Then again, it wasn't as if he was mad to begin with. Sure, it turned out to be a bit irking back then, but that was in the moment. He didn't care nearly as much by now. He had his ways of processing these things, and he didn't see a reason to keep stirring this one. But he wouldn't forget it either, because memory bleach didn't exist, obviously.

He would frown a bit. ''It is a possibility.'' He didn't neccessarily think that was what would happen, but it seemed to be a trend, so it was quite logical to assume that it might be the upcoming problem. He would shake his head with a sigh. ''Bad things would happen. If it does come down to that, the whole other world will be ruined. And the Angel will get controlled by the Primordials and become a monster.... After that, it's a question of what happens. You can go and fight him to try and break the hold they have on him. But there is no guarantee it will actually work. You either free the Angel, or they aren't able to take it, and die.'' That was as much as he knew from the two experiences he has had so far. Though, what she said a bit later about being under the Angel was a bit troubling. He didn't know for sure...but a blessing meant having a part of the Angel's power. If the Angel got messed with...it could perhaps somehow hurt even those following them. That would be bad.

''Go ahead. I can at least listen, if nothing else.'' Whatever her idea was. It didn't seem there was a lot that could be done, that did not involve mortally dangerous actions, such as intercepting the Primordials, or taking a long trek across the other worlds, risking things. He would listen to her explanation before smirking a bit. ''Well, it makes more sense now. So he's just attempting to kick the Event into the future, yes? I suppose I would not agree with that exactly, but I have no reason to do anything. I'd respect their idea, if nothing else.'' He didn't really see the point. Stronger or not...the Event would just happen again, yes? All this pain over again, and again, the same singleminded choices. If humanity could get stronger, then they should just be able to decide their future for themselves. Not do this Event again, that only causes more grief than anything else, and puts the Angels in charge of Wishes. Either way? They would have to decide later, and who's to say someone would not make a dumb choice again? Pushing it to far future all the time is no soultion either. The Event just needs to end one way or another.

Subject: Re: Humanity (Sharaku) Fri Aug 14, 2015 12:48 pm

That sounded... Really bad... Yah, she knew the corruptions did super bad things but uh... This seemed a little out of her league... Like, could she really do anything super uber amazingly awesome to protect Asha from the primordials...? He said he'd help her if the time came so... Could the two of them fend the primordials off...? They could try... If anything, it was worth trying rather than just waiting for the inevitable...

Though, before the DJ could respond to Sharaku, their waiter arrived with a gentle frown. He seemed to be new here, his posture being a little down trotten as he approached the two. Regardless, he picked up his pen and pad of paper, eyeing the two before speaking.

Humanity (Sharaku) Waiter_romano_by_maybebaby83-d4c5xsy

"Welcome, what can I get for you two today?"

The waiter said in a quiet voice, causing the DJ to almost raise a brow. The service here was usually much more friendly than this... Was he simply not used to talking too strangers? Regardless, the DJ scanned the menu briefly before laying it back down. She knew exactly what she wanted...

"I'll have an antoccino with a cassata." the DJ said simply enough, handing the waiter her menu before he in turn jotted down the DJ's order and looked towards Sharaku. He would wait patiently for his order before jotting it down and walking off to the kitchen. Eesh, he was cold... That or shy... Huh, oh well... No point in meditating on it, ya know?

"... Sounds bad... I'm not sure if my plan will even work but... The ghost weed created a green fog around the area it was in... Asha had created a different colored fog to keep the shadows from reaching him... My thoughts are that, if at possible, he could change his fog's color and possibly trick the primodials into going after the ghost weed instead... Maybe I could go stand by the area the weed was in to make it seem more convincing, ya know? I dunno... This is so hard to think of a plan... It'd be easier if we could just all group together and bash those two creeps into the ground... Ya know?" the DJ said with a light sigh, crossing her arms as she leaned back in her seat. She really didn't know how else to end the corruptions... The angels said so too... The only sure fire way was to defeat the primordials and... She kinda had to agree with that statement, yo.

"Mhm... I'm not sure if just me will get to make his wish a reality though... I mean, I was the first one to find him and the first to join him... I'm pretty sure the other angels have a better bet at getting their wishes across, huh? I'll still try though... No point in not doing so, yah?" the DJ said with a light nod, sighing gently. She'd still fight of course... But she wouldn't die... Her family still needed her and she hoped Asha understood that... If not... Then... What would happen...?

Subject: Re: Humanity (Sharaku) Fri Aug 14, 2015 4:04 pm

So much for that. Sharaku would have even forgotten that this wasn't just a place to sit at if the waiter hadn't decided to show up. Meeting someone like this could be a little annoying sometimes. It's not like he came here to really order anything. On the other hand, with the weather, it would be lame to go outside right now. He still didn't even dry up. ''I'll just have mint tea.'' There's that. He'd rather not even order anything, but since he was already here. And he kind of didn't want to risk getting shooed out for just taking up space.

He would shake his head a bit at her idea. He didn't see it as very likely. ''I'm not even sure that they go after the Angel to do this. They pretty much ruin the whole world....so they may be able to do it regardless of whether they come in contact with the Angel or not. Even if it could work..we don't know when exactly, do we? And I doubt you want to stand around and monitor 24/7. Then what? Someone would have to fight them on the spot too. Which is not exactly possible to arrange...'' Even if it worked and she stood around...what would she do in the face of someone like Thesis alone? They couldn't all waste the time being around when there was no way to tell when does it happen exactly. There was no definite telling which world would go next. Not even that. It would be too dangerous for her to try and pull that off. ''I think that the only way to at least halt this would be defeating them, yes. Or at least impeding their plans in some way. But we can't just waltz over to their doorstep either. It could be dangerous, or even a trap for all we know.'' Then again, at this rate...they would have to face them directly soon. There wasn't much time left...

He would lean against the table with a sigh. ''If it comes down to that, I'll have to disagree with you. I do respect the Angels' ideals, and have nothing personal against anyone who joins them......but I am far from interested in seeing their Wishes come through. Personally, I think this Event shouldn't even exist to begin with. What use do you see in pushing it away like your Angel proposes? We'd just drop the bomb on someone in the future, and have them go through all the pain we are facing now. And what..? Is there a guarantee that they won't make a stupid decision? If humanity can grow stronger over the time....why shouldn't we just do that, and choose our own destiny and change, instead of relying on Angels, and a destructive Event. This just feels like us being pawns in the end. Like we will never be strong enough to change on our own terms. They sure hold us in high regards, don't they?'', he would give her a wry smile, waiting for the reaction before saying anything more.

Subject: Re: Humanity (Sharaku) Sun Aug 16, 2015 7:18 pm

Well that sucked... Her plan was useless if that was the case... These bloody things where so... Just ugh! Really, that was the extent of it... Two corruptions so far and nothing made a lick of sense yet... There had to be something they where missing, right? Maybe she could go back and talk to Asha about it... A question she hadn't already asked? It wasn't like her asking how to protect him would work... Would it...?

"Yah, you're right... I just... I don't know what else to do... Even Asha said the only real way to stop them was to defeat them... Maybe we're over complicating things, then? Could defeating the two primordials be easier done than what we've made it out to be...? I mean... What did Israfil say...? If he said the same thing... I bet Oki's angel would say the same thing too, huh? Why'd they all tell us to do something impossible, ya know...?" the DJ said with a sigh, leaning back in her chair as she looked out the window with a pensive look. She hated being stuck in these traps... It was worst than getting snared in a Soraka's silence circle, yo! Utterly embarrassing and just... Annoying... There had to be an easy solution to this, right? Maybe... Hopefully... Regardless, the DJ would look at Sharaku with a blank face, blinking her eyes once before huffing, crossing her arms and looking down at the table. There where those ever so obvious flaws in Asha's wish...

"... I can't defend Asha's wish... As much as I would love too, I just can't defend it outside of what my heart says.. And... I feel like everything will be okay with Asha's wish... Maybe I'm just stupid and frivolous in my thought... But this feeling..." the DJ sighed as she brought a hand to where her heart was, the other one falling to her lap as she stared at the table. This feeling was... So strange... It was like nothing she had ever felt before and... She didn't know how to feel about it either...

"Maybe I jumped too soon when I met Asha... Was to excited too think straight but... No matter what I think or how I look at it, I feel like things will become good in the end... Everyone will be fine..." the DJ said with another sigh, lowering her hand to the one on her lap after she finished speaking. She didn't really know what else to say... This was as far as she delved into these thoughts... Mainly because this was as far as they usually went... Did she make a terrible mistake...?

Subject: Re: Humanity (Sharaku) Mon Aug 17, 2015 5:07 am

Sharaku would frown somewhat. Overcomplicating...? Perhaps, but what was better...that, or oversimplyfing? He had heard a few times that defeating the Primordials wasn't something that could be done with a snap of one's fingers. Well, except for that Simon guy, but apparently he was special due to having been one of the Angels before. Hell if he knew how that really worked. One person alone being able to didn't exactly make the best cut. There was always the chance that Simon would die trying. For all intents and purposes...if he really was that dangerous, then either the Primordials, or some Angels might already suspect he would make some move. And if they do, they could put some trap for him. It did seem Thesis had some smarts to be able to do things like planning out the corruptions.

''Not sure. Israfel did say that Thesis was the main cause behind it, yes...but he did imply that it wasn't a straightforward process to defeat her. He also said that it was one option of ending the Event...the other one was something about defeating all the Angels. But I can't be completely sure on that, and how does it work.'', he would shake his head. ''I'd say it isn't impossible...but nor would it be easy to do. Other than that...I've been told that the only people that can defeat them for good are those that have an Angel's blessing...'' It did seem that it was true to an extent, from what he assumed. But he didn't know what would happen if someone without one fought them. Now that was a mystery.

He would give her a half-smile. ''Did you jump too fast? That is up to you to decide. As I said, I will respect the other Angels' ideas regardless, even though I don't have an interest in seeing them happen. What I said is just...how would you say it, food for thought?'', he would look out of the window for a few moments. ''Besides, I am not exactly the one to talk...'', he would snort a bit. Afterall, he was with an Angel too, was he not? And while said Wish was acceptable to an extent, he did not agree exactly. Mainly due to the fact that he did not like the way this Event handled the matter in general.

Subject: Re: Humanity (Sharaku) Mon Aug 17, 2015 11:49 am

Why couldn't it all be easy? Jeez... It wouldn't be a challenge if it wasn't hard but... At the same time, did anyone want it to be such an impossible challenge...? She had Asha's power now... And at least Oki was aligned with another angel... Where they strong enough to beat Thesis or Ananke with how they stood...? It was all so confusing...

"... Then... We just need a lot of people aligned with angels then...? There's already me and Oki... Do you think our team would be strong enough to defeat them?" the DJ asked with, quite frankly, very little hope in her question. There was only four of them... And while yes, Sharaku, Oki, and Rita where all veterans at this... Could just four people defeat Ananke and Thesis? It could be possible... Hopefully it would be...

"... H-Huh...? Wait, so you saved the Malstu angel!? Oh, that's awesome! What're they like? I bet they're all fiery, huh? They kinda live on a volcano, heh." the DJ said and asked happily. This was a plus to her... Downess earlier! While she was with Asha... The other angels still interested her greatly... She wanted to see all of them if she could.

Subject: Re: Humanity (Sharaku) Mon Aug 17, 2015 3:35 pm

Did they? Well, maybe. But, there was no guarantee it would all end with them defeating the Primordials. The Angels..wouldn't just leave, would they? There would still be problems to deal with. Though, getting rid of the corruptions, or at least halting them could be a good thing. Regardless, even if they grabbed a few people with a blessing, it would be a dangerous game to face off against Thesis or Ananke. Or God forbid both at once. That could happen. For all they knew, the other could come to help out if they were actually close to taking down one of them. And that could...get ugly.

''Maybe...but it's always a risk. This game won't end by us defeating them afterall. The Angels are going to hang around for longer, I believe. Though, it could be helpful. Alas, we don't know how strong they truly are, so there is no saying whether it would be enough or not. I'm not going to take a guess and be really wrong....'' He had no solid idea. Just..that they were obviously really strong opponents. And frankly? He knew nothing about how strong Rin or Oki were. Sure, they told each other their main methods of attacking back then...but that says nothing about one's general power level, now does it?

He would sigh, shaking his head. ''No? I never implied that. And actually...we didn't. It seems that the Angel couldn't really take the combination of the corruption and us facing her. It's likely that she's dead, considering that she kind of exploded like a big bang. But I do know that her name was Teshub, and she was supposedly connected with Passion in some way.'', he would explain, looking out of the window in thought afterwards. Well, that weren't really happy news, but he couldn't lie to her, could he?

Subject: Re: Humanity (Sharaku) Tue Aug 18, 2015 9:41 am

Oh... That's... Oh no... The DJ hadn't expected something like that to happen... What where the chances...? They had saved Israfel with such ease wouldn't it had been a piece of cake to save Malstu's angel...? The DJ hadn't even noticed anything remotely wrong with Malstu either... This was awful... Truly truly awful...

"... Yah... I know... But, we need to do something... We can't let more people get hurt... I... Jeez... I wish I was strong enough to go and bash those two bozo's heads in..." the DJ said with a sigh, turning her head away for the moment. It sucked not being strong enough to do things alone... She needed help every step of the way and... It killed her knowing this... Even if she felt everything would be okay... She wanted to make sure first hand it would be... Time was running out...

"... I'm sorry... I-I shouldn't have jumped to conclusions... Are you okay though...?" the DJ asked, looking up at Sharaku with a small frown across her face. She didn't want to intrude... That was her least wanted intention... But, she wanted to make sure he was okay... She couldn't imagine trying to save someone and just having them... Die after all of that... It was a terrible thought... One Sharaku and Rita lived through...

"... Who'd you join then, if I may ask...? You don't have to tell me... I understand if you don't." the DJ said with a light nod, her frown turning into a gentle smile after the conversation had ended with Malstu's angel. She hoped everything was okay...
