xA FABULA ON THE HORIZON ◥maccotango
"Interesting girl isn't she?"
Roman glanced at his partner, a less feral but equally enigmatic grin on his face. They seemed to have the same thought in their minds, but that was a common occurrence among the two. They'd gone from fairy tale twins to mental twins in a matter of years due to both their role in the story but also the various missions they'd gone on together. Punching each other, shooting each other, saving each other it all sort of balanced out like the moon and the sun.
Meanwhile Tsukiyomi had her own sun to find.
"Go to your Fabula homeland, find the Amaterasu kid, and haul his ass over here," he shrugged in response to the chimera woman, "if we're lucky he'll come quietly and I can get back to Chicago in time for the sun to set. We're not really sure how powerful his light manipulation is supposed to be, but I'm assuming that you two can pave the way for me to nullify him if things get messy."
Things often did when it came to the Mayan Twins but he wouldn't tell San that. Though he didn't care what others thought of him he didn't want her fleeing just because some shots started firing or buildings started exploding (as was typical with a brute like Sirius).
He gestured for Tsukiyomi and Sirius to come closer as he pulled the book he'd been given by the mission director. It was supposed to transport them to Odawara where they'd have to try their best not to look like total foreigners. Easy for San, not so much for the other two Hispanics.
"I hope you two are ready because I'm not staying behind for either you."
He opened the book, squinting his one eye as it took the three of them across the globe.

Sirius returned the look, secretly enjoying their developed connection before nodding in response to San's question about the mission. Of course, he left the talking to Roman since he wasn't in the mouthy mood at the moment.

'Ah' He unconsciously heard Roman's thought about their.. destructive tendencies. He resisted a chuckle, though his fingers twitched at the idea of a fight, especially against a power he hasn't dealt with. 'Light... such an immaterial thing.' He thought, while curling his fingers, only imagining how a melee man like himself could fight that. Though, it didn't bother him at the least, since he always craved a challenge.
So finally feeling some other anticipation for the mission, other then getting it done, he watched Roman bring out the book eagerly. 'Lets get this done with.'
Though as he blankly stared at the book, before noting San's previous well hidden discomfort.
Was it something he said.
Not too experienced at the least, he merely gave her the least awkward pat on the shoulder, while showing her a great display of teeth. And the typical character would have screamed in fear, but just know, his intentions were pure. It was quite funny actually.
Though it was too late for her to run anyhow, with the light developing them, they all appeared in new lands.
He blinked, the surrounding area was quite... beautiful. He glanced at the girl again- he wasn't surprised.

Japan always greeted him well due to both the weather and the obvious height difference between himself and most of the general population. Where San somewhat blended in, he and Sirius stuck out as obvious foreigners or gajin as a few men affectionately called him. They were in some sort of shopping square, not overly populated but not entirely empty either. It seemed almost...picturesque, as though the area was lifted from a magazine rather than the packed, fast-paced metro he'd come to know in Chicago.
He supposed that was one of the difference between the two countries. Japan actually looked nice. Chicago pretended to be.
"You been here before Sirius?" he asked as he lit a cigarette.
By some miracle the area didn't have an anti-smoking policy so he wanted to revel a bit before he'd have to enter another tobacco-free zone. Everyone and their mother hated smoking these days (even though most seemed absolutely fine with marijuana and the like). From what it seemed, San was the only one with any idea of where to go and he was perfectly fine with that seeing as she seemed more than excited to be back in her homeland. He walked behind her, blowing out a few puffs of smoke before speaking.
"Lead the way San," he nodded, "we're right behind you."
The room was dark despite being day, thick curtains drawn to block the sunlight. In a corner of the small room, the sickly glow of a television illuminated a pale face. Eyes bloodshot from lack of sleep followed the moving figures on the screen while his fingers deftly moved over the controller.
”Wah!” A string of curses in Japanese followed the exclamation, sounding doubly loud in the silence of the room. With a disgusted sigh, he put the controller down. ”Ugh, okay I’m calling it a night. Talk to you tomorrow.” He lifted the headphones from his head, pushing off his hoodie and revealing a mop of messy red hair that looked like they never knew the touch of a hairbrush. The rest of him wasn’t that much better. Wrinkled clothes, sickly pallor, deep and dark eyebags; Ruri’s unkempt appearance didn’t bother him in the least. After all, it’s not like anyone would be coming to visit me, right? A bitter smile formed on his lips at the thought. At most it’s just going to be mom again.
The console turned off as he pressed the button, wishing his pathetic self could shut down the same way. He could sleep; it was still a few hours away until sunset. Vampires weren’t supposed to be awake at this time anyway. But going to sleep when he felt like this would only give him time to wallow in self-pity.
With that thought in mind he stood and moved to the opposite corner, kicking his computer out of rest mode and connecting his tablet to draw. Though he didn’t notice, the small rays of light peeping through the window reflected the movements of his hands, creating their own picture in the empty space. Fantastical figures of heroes dashing across the air moved in his room but he remained oblivious to its beauty, concentrating on the still image on the screen. As far as he was concerned, the only world worth living in was the one behind the screen. Being in a vampire in this world just sucked.
