❀ First Illusion ❀ Kanda Yu : Online/In-Person

[decaying]

[Kanda was in a very bad place right now. Being told what to do by people he hardly knew in a place he didn't even think really existed had made him incredibly angry. He had no patience, every single face that came across him made his fingertips itch for his sword. He knew better though, he found himself a nice secluded place: the lake.]

If I hear one more stupid request, order, or so much as an annoying sound out of anything breathing I am going to kill it.

[Charming words for an introduction. He crossed his arms, examined the ground for a moment, and then decided to sit on it.]

Is this why they kidnap people, to make them teach in their stupid school? I'm not getting involved in this, you don't hassle me around and get away with it. When I get my hands on the one responsible for this... [And then he remembered there were more important things at the moment.]

Does anyone know someone with the name Allen Walker?

If you refuse to teach, you will be punished. It's easier to go along with the system now, while we work on finding a way to break free.

[decaying]

Do you know that by experience or because you do the punishing?

[text]

[stoppedhiding]

By experience. I'm in no position to dole out such punishments myself, nor would I.

[decaying]

What do they do to you when they punish you?

[Because he'd like to see someone test him. Piss him off more.]

[stoppedhiding]

The primary punishment consists of a headache. It's more painful than you would assume. It almost always is enough to make people fall into line.

There are also monetary fines, and considering that this city's money system is our only way of recovering our stolen memories, it's rather effective as well.

[decaying]

Recovering stolen memories? What are you going on about?

[text]

[stoppedhiding]

Have you not noticed? Bits and pieces of your memory have been taken from you. Your past. Your comrades, perhaps your family. It is Rakuen's method of forcing us to go along with the system.

[There's a pause where he's actually trying to think if he's forgotten something. After all, it's hard to remember things you forgot but he notices some things don't make sense.]

How is that even possible? Who the hell are these people?

[text]

[stoppedhiding]

Nobody knows quite yet. Rest assured, we are trying to figure that out.

[text]

[decaying]

Who's we?

[text]

[stoppedhiding]

Those of us trapped here. Who else?

You made it sound like you had some established system here. Guess not. Thanks for the information.

I'd be happy to penalize you for not teaching, if you want. It's not big deal really, we can incapacitate you for a while and you won't have to teach. Oh, or, we can draw your weapon, break it, and you'll fall into a coma for a few days, that'll get you out of teaching too.

Also, there's not Allen Walker here.

Video

[decaying]

You got that sort of authority? You can penalize people?

[straightupzorra]

I'm the head Prefect of Conquest and the Headmistress of Conquest is my weapon, which pretty much makes me the bitch in charge here. I can penalize whoever I want.

Video

[decaying]

The bitch in charge? [Bingo. Hello new target.] You sound a little proud of that title. Do you realize you're siding with the enemy?

Video

[straightupzorra]

[she quirks an eyebrow at him] You gotta problem with that? Look, just because I'm in charge doesn't mean that I'm here willingly, it just means that I've been here that much longer than you have and I know the system and what to do. I'm here to guide all you losers throughout your game, hold you hands and all that. You need me.

[decaying]

So you sell yourself for the benefit of others. [It sounds reasonable but it's got a very bad hint to it. She's not trustworthy.] Don't feel so justified.

Video

[straightupzorra]

I sell myself? What are you even talking about? [did you just call her a prostitute or something?]

Video

[decaying]

You said it yourself: you know how the system works and you're here to 'guide' the losers. That sort of information and power doesn't come for free. What are you getting out of it?

Video

[straightupzorra]

I get to get out of here when it's over.

Video

[decaying]

And what do they have planned for the rest?

Video

[straightupzorra]

The vast majority will get to go home when it's over too.

Video

[decaying]

And the rest? Don't keep it to yourself.

There are six staff members here, including me, who participated in the previous session of Exaclan, that's two Headmasters, two Head Prefects, one mayor, and one shop keeper. And now we're here helping you just as we were helped by six staff. You can figure it out from here.
