[Lion had admittedly been harboring the feeling that something unusual would happen today. Randomly appearing in a place that wasn't even the least bit familiar wasn't exactly it.

The poor headphoned boy had ended up wandering for about... what was it? An hour? Two hours? Before finally giving up on the thought that he had taken a wrong turn somewhere. However he got here, it wasn't a place he'd ever seen before, and not a thing here was familiar, though he could sense some strange, foreboding feeling, like his gut was telling him there was something weird about this place.

Not that he had any idea what, and he had simply dropped onto the nearest thing that seemed even remotely like it could be sat on (what was that sign he had just passed? Felix's Finds? He didn't remember). However, a quick, unusual pressure against his leg made him dig into his pocket curiously, coming out with... a phone that certainly wasn't his. Had he been reversed pick-pocketed or something?

Curiosity had gotten the better of him, though, and a quick look through the phone offered some sort of conversation option, and it was better than wandering around like a lost rat in a maze, even if this idea seemed silly.]

Could someone tell me exactly where I am? I'm kind of... lost. [A pause, then a second text.] Atsuro, Yuzu, if you're here somewhere, let me know, okay?

Chapter 05 ~ Video

[ It had been just about a month since a certain golden haired asshole king had simply vanished into thin air, without any sort of notice. He had to assume those that knew of him thought him to be dead or worse. That was exactly his plan. Truth is he had been traveling the world this entire time, doing whatever the hell he pleased since he is the King of Heroes, after all. He had collected many things, which would hopefully prove useful during that accursed Dark Hour. Still, it was odd that he had no contact with anyone. Not even his most prized treasure. Truth be told, she was probably the only reason he bothered coming back. So you can imagine his surprise and amused reaction when he stumbles into his home late in the night, only to find a certain king cuddled up on his bed with a pair of lion cubs. So, she had been using his place in his absence. That was fine, because it provided the perfect opportunity for him to show off. And since this is so early in the morning, we'll assume that videos can be taken and sent to inboxes en masse, so everyone will be greeted to his return as soon as they check their phones. ]

[ For anyone who was here before his disappearance, or even later arrivals that may just know him, a certain golden haired individual will be interrupting your usual morning routine with his arrogant voice and all too charming looks. ]

Mongrels... It's been a while, hasn't it? I'm sure you've all missed being in the presence of your king, not that I can say the same about the lot of you.

[ No, seriously. Why does he even bother addressing them? It's not as if their even worthy of looking upon him. Still, things must be said. This is what kings do, is it not? ]

Upon my return, there are a few things I feel I need to make clear, since you seem incapable of remembering anything for longer than a goldfish. Everything of value in this world is mine, that goes without saying. It is I, and only I can truly determine something's value. You see this condo?

[ Yes, he is sweeping through his own condo, showing off the ridiculous contents that shouldn't even be able to fit. It's like his condo was a pocket space or something. You'll see mountains of useless shit that serves no purpose other than looking pretty and expensive, among piles of swords and closets full of the most crazy expensive clothes ever. ]

Everything is mine. Yes, even them.

[ The camera suddenly enters a first person view as it travels down a hallway, eventually entering a dark room that is only lit by the moonlight. The camera will slowly sweep over the bed, where one may find a caliburns outfitted in merely a large long-sleeved t-shirt, sleeping soundly between two rather large lion cubs. The look on her face would be enough to make the most manly men's hearts melt. ]

They are mine, and mine alone. Nobody can say otherwise. If any of you mongrels have a problem with that?

[ This would usually be the part where he says something about fighting and proving yourself and blahblahblahblahblah. But instead, they'll only get a close-up on his face. A face that just screams TROLLLLLL. ]

Too bad.

[ And just as suddenly as it had started, the video ends. ]

[Alright Prospero, look at your cell.

Now look at Taiga.

Now look at your cell.

Now back to Taiga.

Sadly, Taiga is in your cell phone screen flailing her arms around wildly, but she could be calmed down if you talked to her.

Look down, back to the screen. Where is she? Around some tall buildings and maybe stumbling into an alleyway.

What's in your hand? Back at her, she's holding the cell phone with a death grip.

Look again.

The cell phone is now being thrown against the wall.]

Uwaaaaaaah!! Which one of you bastards kidnapped me?! You've crossed the Yakuza themselves if you think you can hold me here for long!!

[Some nights, the Dark Hour is noisier than others.]

[While the shadows normally remain silent unless actively attacking those able to wander the dark hour, on this night the port area all but resounds with the shrieks of an all-too familiar shadow. A Visceral Maya, bane of those who find themselves new to Prospero.]

[What's peculiar is that the vocalizations almost sound frustrated or scared, as much as a Shadow can emote such things.]

[And unfortunately for anyone with their phone on-hand, the source of the noise just started getting broadcast over the network. The camera, activated via falling-to-the-ground judging from the angle, shows a man pinning a very displeased Visceral Maya to a building with a stopsign while muttering to himself.]

-n't even die right when I kill 'em, huh? Bah, not like it's the weirdest thi- eh? What's this?

[He keeps the shadow pinned against the building, reaching down to pick up and subsequently peer into the phone as a lazy smile crosses his features.]

Yo. Anyone there?
