“You do seem awfully apprehensive to go there; I presume it may hold some unfortunate significance to you.”

He sighs.

“We do not have to go there.”

[ɑkɑri kurusu .⭒☆° @last_svrprise]

no, no—sorry, i just, didn’t expect to come back to that place. i haven’t been there in a long time.

[ she sighed—deep exhale leaving her lungs. ]

don’t see how bringing you there would broaden your horizons, though… but, whatever. come on, i’ll take you.

[𝟐𝟎𝟔𝟖’𝐬 𝐃𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐏𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐞 @T1MEJUSTICE]

“If you aren’t feeling up to it, we could always go elsewhere, or I’ll leave you be and allow you some time to yourself.”

Adjusting his gloves as he places a hand on his hip.

“I’m attempting to broaden my horizons.”

[ɑkɑri kurusu .⭒☆° @last_svrprise]

... jazz jin?

[ a something between a surprised and forlorn expression briefly flashed on her face. she considers him for a moment, before sighing. ]

... alright, sure. i can do that.

[𝟐𝟎𝟔𝟖’𝐬 𝐃𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐏𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐞 @T1MEJUSTICE]

“I’d like you to take me somewhere. There’s a jazz club in Kichijoji that we don’t have in my world.”

[ɑkɑri kurusu .⭒☆° @last_svrprise]

huh. what's up, detective?

Funny, his transformation was just as long as Ryuji’s grand form.

[𝟐𝟎𝟔𝟖’𝐬 𝐃𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐏𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐞 @T1MEJUSTICE]

Once in the metaverse, he’d press the button on the Ridewatch, activating it.

He’d then slot it onto his Zikudriver along with his regular Geiz Majesty Ridewatch, activating the driver’s rotating mechanism.

“Now, let us do this.”

“Regardless, not a whole lot we are able to do at the moment. My hands are tied, at least. I do not possess enough strength to oppose him.”

[𝟐𝟎𝟔𝟖’𝐬 𝐃𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐏𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐞 @T1MEJUSTICE]

“I. Don’t. Know.”

He exhales, frustrated.

“There’s no amount of studying that could make me understand Sakamoto’s mind, or his behavior.

Perhaps he’s merely testing the waters and limits of his abilities. Surely the power over spacetime has limits..”

He mused.

[ɑkɑri kurusu .⭒☆° @last_svrprise]

... that's, that's good, right? that he's trying to understand them.

...

okay no wait if he's anything like the guy i know—and ryuji is a really, really good guy!—there's no chance he'd use it for. uh.

'world peace' or something savior complex-y, right?

[𝟐𝟎𝟔𝟖’𝐬 𝐃𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐏𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐞 @T1MEJUSTICE]

“Well, he’s behaved rather well for having the powers of a timelord and the IQ of an ape.

My best guess is that he’s waiting to do anything with his newfound powers until he fully understands them.”

[ɑkɑri kurusu .⭒☆° @last_svrprise]

okay, i don't piss people off on purpose unless they're specific people. ryuji would not be one of them, and yours is probably included in that.

still—should i be worried? and what do you mean you aren't certain?

“You disgust me. I have no business with you.”

“Perhaps. I am not 100% certain myself that he has become the demon king. However, he does have dominion over time in his Ohma Zi-O Form

So, I’d be careful not to upset or anger the beast.”

[ɑkɑri kurusu .⭒☆° @last_svrprise]

...

did he—

oh god he was actually evil the last time i saw him. that—that just happened?

“It would seem my fears regarding Sakamoto have come true, haven’t they, @last_svrprise?”

[𝟐𝟎𝟔𝟖’𝐬 𝐃𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐏𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐞 @T1MEJUSTICE]

“In any case, this would be a test of endurance to see how my new form would compare to these ‘Persona’ I’ve been hearing of.”

[𝑅𝑜𝓈𝑒 @K4Sum1Yoshizawa]

“You could say that.”

[𝟐𝟎𝟔𝟖’𝐬 𝐃𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐏𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐞 @T1MEJUSTICE]

“Well, not exactly. You’re a fighter, are you not?”

[𝑅𝑜𝓈𝑒 @K4Sum1Yoshizawa]

“…you want me to use it?”

Holding out a Ridewatch.

“I’d like you to help me test this. It seems to be a power similar to Zi-O’s Grand form.”

[𝑅𝑜𝓈𝑒 @K4Sum1Yoshizawa]

“With?”

[𝟐𝟎𝟔𝟖’𝐬 𝐃𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐏𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐞 @T1MEJUSTICE]

“I’d like to ask your assistance just this once.”

[𝑅𝑜𝓈𝑒 @K4Sum1Yoshizawa]

“Yeah. Why…”

[𝟐𝟎𝟔𝟖’𝐬 𝐃𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐏𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐞 @T1MEJUSTICE]

“Interesting. You’re quite close to Sakamoto, yes?”

[𝑅𝑜𝓈𝑒 @K4Sum1Yoshizawa]

“Yeah, that’s me…”
