[Action] In the Wake of the Quake

[unseenspy]

[Backdated to just hours after the earthquake]

[After escaping the C3 building, Jay wanders around the village, investigating the chaos, the ruined buildings, people trapped in the rubble, and others digging to rescue them. And of course he notices Naoya's demons running amok. He won't be getting involved in any of this chaos, however. Perhaps if he were with Senel and company, they'd be playing heroes and exterminating the monsters, but not here. It's every man for himself. Or at least Jay knows that it's up to him to fend for himself. Feel free to approach him wherever he may wander.]

Yes. And how about you? You seem to be enjoying yourself in all of this.

[Rather than answer, he'll just smirk.]

The Malnosso were generous.

[unseenspy.livejournal.com]

Were they now? That's certainly something you don't see often.

[invidia-keeper.livejournal.com]

Of course, you've noticed as well. [The removal of the power cap, he means. Though his tone suggest that he really doesn't think much of Jay either way.]

[unseenspy.livejournal.com]

Of course.

[He looks up at the oddly glowing barrier.]

So you really believe that this is the Malnosso's doing?

[invidia-keeper.livejournal.com]

It could and it couldn't be. But either way, the limitations are gone. [He looks at the barrier, an amused smile on his face.]

It's more familiar this way, reminds me of home.

[unseenspy.livejournal.com]

Hmm. If you call a rubble village and monsters running amok close to home, I suppose.

[Although monsters did roam around in the world where Jay came from, a village in ruin wasn't so close to home.]

[invidia-keeper.livejournal.com]

The world was ending where I come from. [It's a slight exaggeration, but Tokyo itself was on the brink of collapse.]

[unseenspy.livejournal.com]

Oh, so this would be close to home for you then. Good for you.

[Yeah, he'll humor Naoya for the moment.]

[invidia-keeper.livejournal.com]

You don't seem concerned.

[unseenspy.livejournal.com]

Well, it's your world that's ending, not mine.

[And he has no intention of getting involved in the current mess either.]

[invidia-keeper.livejournal.com]

About this one. [He's beginning to think he's talking to Yuzu.]

[unseenspy.livejournal.com]

This is probably just another experiment. You'd think that one would be used to these things by now. In another week, everything will be back to normal.

[invidia-keeper.livejournal.com]

On the off-chance it wasn't?

[unseenspy.livejournal.com]

Then I'll improvise.
