If there was one thing Aya Tsuri hated doing, it was going out.
He tried to avoid it as much as possible, ordering things online to be delivered to his apartment. Outside was noisy. Outside had people. Outside had all sorts of hazards. All in all, going outside was an awful ideas.
It wasn’t like he was a shut in or anything, though.
He just.. Disliked going out. And now he was alone, he had no reason to have to venture out unless he had a job to do. No one to drag him out by force to have a meal outside because apparently it tasted different if one ate it in a restaurant rather than having it delivered at home. No one to insist staying 72+ hours inside at a time was unhealthy.
So much more freedom to do what he pleased.
Just like it was before.
...was that what he wanted?
…
But in any case, he had to leave his house today. He had to go to his usual anime store in Den den town to reserve something, as for some ungodly reason it wasn’t available to reserve online. In this time and age...seriously?
Putting on a black surgical mask, he made his way through the myriad of small streets that filled the Namba backstreets and onto the main road of Den den town. He swiftly made his way to the overly familiar white and blue building, he didn’t even need to look at the floor signs to know he wanted the 5th floor. He wanted to be in and out ASAP, so he glanced at the walls covered in reservation tickets with trained eyes and a frown crossed his usually monotone features.
“......................”
It wasn’t there.
What.
The.
Fuck.
He had seen the posts online, there was no way it couldn’t be up for reservation today!!! He had to ask a shop assistant...ugh great, he had to talk to someone…
Walking over to the cashier, he was just thankful the store was empty as it was a weekday morning (it was his errand before bedtime) so he didn’t have to wait too long.
“...excuse me. I need to reserve something...it's not on the wall.”

[googlefont=Libre Baskerville:400i|Open Sans] [nospaces] [attr="class","shianov"] [attr="class","shianmtop"]Ego | Shian [attr="class","shianimgtop1"] [attr="class","shianimgtop"] [attr="class","shianicon"] [attr="class","shianmain1"] [attr="class","shianquote"] ❝ Which one were you looking for? [attr="class","shianmain"] It was another odd job that Shian had to take on the side. It was always a few weeks inbetween major heists, but he was planning on going for a large on soon. Always in a permanent chess match against the police he was always happy to know that he hadn't been discovered yet, but needed to always keep them on their toes. Laying low was fun in it's own right, after all he got to stand and watch the news on television while the police continued to talk about their 'ongoing investigation.' In the middle of the police chiefs speech, the signal on the small TV began warping, before only static was left, the loud constant noise filling the empty store.[break][break] "... Great. Just great." The young man behind the counter walked over with a melancholic expression before a few taps on metal could be heard, followed by a single crash as the static sound vanished, and the picture returned. "So it did work, just as they told me." Gliding back behind the counter he picked up a few papers and began to read. It was simple, this week they had several different releases coming that month, so much so that the reservation board was filled, and the more popular releases were pulled from the board. "Odd choice..." Shian spoke to himself, tapping on a few of their names. "This one's got a lot of traction online. I wonder why it wasn't posted."[break][break] Just then, the familiar bell sound echoed throughout the store. A customer finally arrived.[break][break] "Hi... welcome. Let me know if you see anything you want." Shian feigned being the bored clerk behind the counter, a creepy smile crossing over his lips as he watched the customer walk up to a wall covered with posts about the new reservations. This customer was a strange man, purple hair with a black mask surgical mask over his face. Curious, but not curious enough. His attention slowly faded back to the TV that started to fizzle into static again, before a voice came from the other side of the counter.[break][break] They mentioned the reservations, and that it wasn't on the wall. Ah, of course, Shian thought to himself, they must be talking about those reservations. "Oh, uh, hi. Yeah, not all of them fit on the wall. Which one were you looking for?" Shian's smile didn't fade, but the voice seemed a bit insincere as he turned and entered a few pieces of data on the computer nearby. Just as soon as he had turned his attention away, the television began exploding in static again causing his expression to fade once more as he instinctively grabbed the remote and clicked the power off, ending the obnoxiously loud noise. "Sorry about that, tv is acting up."[break][break] The clerk at the store was Shian Shikai, but as one would be able by the nametag stuck to their chest that their name was Shikai. He seemed to wear all black shirts and pants, dark red trim around the shirt's collar, and the hem. Their hands were covered in black gloves, but they appeared to be very long sleeved as one was unable to see skin beneath the sleeve, but if one had a keen eye they would notice it was most likely a pure black suit underneath as even the man's neck, down to his chest was covered in this black material, as if they were wearing a form-fitting body suit, which they most certainly were. The most notable feature about them, however, was their eyes; there was no colour, just black irises on a pure white background.[break][break] [attr="class","addy"] addy[break] [newclass=".shianov"] margin: 0px auto; padding: 5px; border: 1px solid #ddd; background-color: #fcfcfc; width: 500px [/newclass] [newclass=".shianmtop"] background-color: #2c2c2c; padding: 20px; text-align: center; color: #be00a0; font-family: Geneva; text-transform: uppercase; font-size: 9px; letter-spacing: 2px; [/newclass] [newclass=".shianimgtop1"] height: 250px; width: 500px; overflow: hidden;[/newclass] [newclass=".shianimgtop"] height: 250px; width: 400px; background:rgba(0,0,0,0.6); border-right: 1px solid white; position: relative; top: 50%; transform: translateY(-50%); display: flex; flex-direction: column; justify-content: center; margin-left: -300px; transition: 0.5s; [/newclass] [newclass=".shianicon"] float: right; margin-left: auto; height: 65px; width: 65px; background-color: #fdfdfd; border: 5px solid #fdfdfd; transform: rotate(-45deg); margin-right: -38px; overflow: hidden; display: inline-block; [/newclass] [newclass=".shianicon img"] height: 100px; transform: rotate(45deg); margin-left:-17px; margin-top: -15px; [/newclass] [newclass=".shianimgtext"] font-size: 9px; color: white; display: inline-block; width: 250px; font-family: Open Sans; text-transform: uppercase; margin-bottom: -38px; margin-left: 100px; opacity: 0; transition: 0.3s; border-bottom: 1px solid #fdfdfd; [/newclass] [newclass=".shianimgtext a"] color: #BF9D3E; font-family: Open Sans; [/newclass] [newclass=".shianov:hover .shianimgtop"]margin-left:0px; [/newclass] [newclass=".shianov:hover .shianimgtext"]opacity: 1; transition: 0.3s 0.2s; [/newclass] [newclass=".shianmain1"] padding: 40px; background-color: white; [/newclass] [newclass=".shianquote"] padding: 10px 40px 0px 40px; text-align: justify; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1; font-family: Libre Baskerville; margin-bottom: 40px; [/newclass] [newclass=".shianquote div"] color: #be00a0; font-size: 50px; float: left; margin-right: 10px; margin-top: -10px; font-family: Open Sans; [/newclass] [newclass=".shianmain"] font-family: Open Sans; font-size: 10px; text-align: justify; [/newclass] [newclass=".addy"] font-size: 9px; line-height: 10px; letter-spacing: -1px; text-align:right; width:510px; margin:0px auto; [/newclass]

Aya had pretty much ignored the droned out welcome that came from the shop assistant, not really even bothering to look at them. Unless he was on a job, he tended to do that, he was sort of allergic to normies and well...humans in general. Okay, probably to work in an anime shop one may be a little less normie than your average normie one would find in Shibuya, but still, the less contact he had visually, verbally or otherwise with other beings, the damn better. The sound of static, however, did catch the man’s attention.
What in the…
Normally, this place just played PVs of animes and games on loop but he had noticed that wasn’t the case when he walked in, it was just static… A slight twitch of a violet brow and a side glance at the TV in question was all Aya gave to the weird goings on. Now that he was stood in front of the shop assistant, he realised how fucking weird this guy looked. The person...was a guy...right? To be honest, they could be either, come to think about it. Well, whatever. Didn’t really matter, but the fact this guy had odd, blank eyes and the general...creepy aura around them, an air of discord that simply hovered around the person before him. Grey-violet eyes fixed on the figure for a few moments longer than necessary before the man spoke. “I am looking for the monthly limited edition release ⅓ figure of Princess Kyuaran from Preyure series. Should have been up for preorder today.” The violet haired man said in his monotone, he still couldn’t shake off that weird feeling but...ugh, whatever. His new resolution was not to get involved in any more bothersome or weird shit. Meet his goals, do the things he wanted, forget the past. In that order, was the plan of action.

Princess Kyuaran... Ah yes, right here. [attr="class","shianmain"] "Princess Kyuaran... Princess Kyuaran..." a slightly masculine voice responded from behind the counter, repeating the name that the newcomer spoke of. "Ah yes, right here." Pulling open a drawer from behind the counter, the black haired man pulled out a sheet of paper with several barcodes across it. Running a black-gloved hand across the tops of each barcode until he stopped halfway down the page. This was the one this violet haired man was looking for. Glancing up at him, Shian quickly studied his expression. Strange, he didn't look like the kind of guy to enjoy this show. Folding the paper in preparation of barcode removal, he scanned it onto the machine just to make sure it was the right one.[break][break] This thing was surprisingly expensive. Who would spend that much on just a figurine? Glancing back at the man on the other side he pulled out another piece of paper. "Sorry about it not being listed on the wall. We don't have many of this specific one but... too many others." Holding out the paper to the man, his smile grew. Whoever this man was that entered the store, he wasn't normal, far from normal. All Shian was doing was standing in for the location for a few hours, small paycheck on the side, gave him an alibi to be in the area and other reasons like that. His shift ended soon, and he knew the proper staff would be back in soon. "If you put your information there when it releases we'll keep it set aside for you."[break][break] The way Shian specifically held the paper, the man would most likely bump into his finger when grabbing it. To the mans right, behind the monitor was a pen sticking straight up out of a holder, always presenting itself to be used. If the man touched his hand, it would simply phase right through; this was a common small prank that Shian always played. Most of the time when this was done, it was simply to spook the other person or make them paranoid, but this time he wanted to see just how alert the man truly was.[break][break] [attr="class","addy"] addy[break]

Grey-Violet eyes watched silently as the shop assistant rummaged around. This was clearly just a filthy normie who just decided to get this part time job as he was clearly not familiar with the series, how awful. An*mate really had started to lower their standards in staffing recently if this guy didn’t even know straight away what he was looking for. He was probably one of those guys who thought anime was just for high schoolers… Though he didn’t LOOK like a normie tho, so that was a bit of a surprise. He looked like one of those otakus that gave off a slightly unsettling, creepy vibe. Maybe it was his eyes. Yeah, probably that.
Of course, this was rather rich coming from this guy with a mask on who looked like an extra from a visual kei PV, but then again Aya wasn’t one who had much self awareness when it came to things like this.
He was impatiently waiting for the man to give him the reservation paper, and once it was held out to him he tugged from side closest to him, not because he even noticed the man was holding the paper a little funny, but because he just didn’t want to even accidentally touch someone. Ugh. He hated physical contact more than anything else, and he was rather skilled at the many ways one may avoid it. That being said, in the last year there had been way too many cases of his personal space being invaded, by more than one person which was way too many in his books. He pulled out a pen from his coat pocket, and started to fill in the form.
He wrote the name he always used- "Sonota Ouzei" which sort of screamed fake name, but at the same time he never used his real name for obvious reasons, he even had the fake identity documentation to back it up. And...his real name kind of sounded a bit fake anyway, like some bad pun.
Aya shoved the paper back towards the assistant when he was done, well at least that was one thing out of the way. He supposed he would stop over at the conbini to buy the new sweets that got released today, he couldn’t miss that!

[attr="class","shianmain"] As the man pulled the paper from just out of Shian's grasp, his smile widened. Of course, they must be quite shy to be out and about wearing that to fulfil a hobby. His own hobby was to simply have something to do; whether it be a plan to rob a place or just simply work and make an honest living. As if Shian ever made an honest living. Each of the places he worked at was simply a subtle farce to launder his own money, to make it untraceable piece by piece but nobody else needed to know that. The man had finished putting his name on the paper and had handed it back. Reading the name, and placing it alongside the other reservations, he spoke. "Thank you, Sonota. Come again soon." His tone was melodic but still sounded a bit off. Just as he finished, the normal guy that ran the store came in. [break][break] "Hey Cyan. I'm here now, you can head out." It was already past the time Shian was supposed to have left, but oh well, it happens when the owner was late. Even then, Shian worked on requested days, so the man was grateful to have had a cover. "Why's the television off? Have you been standing here bored the entire time?" His expression tightened into worry, but as the dark-eyed man responded it seemed to return back to being the normal calm that was normal. [break][break] "Ah... no. It was just being excessively loud with static. Besides, silence is better than listening to another of that Ito heroes speeches." Shian's voice took the tune of someone who was joking but had an odd seriousness to it as he walked around the counter. All that came back from the owner was an awkward chuckle as the two swapped places behind the counter. "Alright then, I'm heading out. See you later." He had places to be, and he was soon to be late. That man earlier was strange, Sonota? Such a fake name, just like Shian used for himself, Cyan. In reality, it was indeed his name, but written in a completely different way. Oh well, they most likely would not meet again; he knew their type, they rarely left the home.

Okay, maybe it was the way this guy spoke that gave off the weird vibe. It was hard to put an exact finger on it but it stuck in Aya’s mind somewhat persistently, he just hoped to god this wasn’t the start of something weird as he had enough problematic characters he was unwillingly involved with already. No, no, he was just being paranoid, it was a bad habit of his to overthink just because he had an analytical mind.
He turned to leave, not being able to help overhear the murmur of the store assistants as they spoke to each other.
Ito Maru.
Just hearing that detested man’s name left a bad taste in his mouth, though the long haired man’s facial features didn’t falter like it did last time he was within reaching distance of his biological father. It was fine. That bastard could walk around as if he was the embodiment of justice for now. He should enjoy it while it lasts as he would tear down everything around the Pro hero and leave nothing intact when he was done. Him and that woman. Both will only be remembered as disgraces who’s foolish desires bred Japan a formidable villain.
It would happen in due time.
He just had to be patient.
With those thoughts on his mind, he made his way to the nearest L*wsons. He wanted to try out their new seasonal dessert that had been hyped up about on social media and it looked really good. He looked around the dessert section but couldn’t see it. He sighed to himself, was today a day of not finding things he wanted?? Having had enough of this sort of luck, he went over to the counter to ask the shop assistant if there was any of the item he was looking for in stock.
“...Is the Wild framboise milk crepe mille feuille out of stock…?”

[googlefont=Libre Baskerville:400i|Open Sans] [nospaces] [attr="class","shianov"] [attr="class","shianmtop"]Ego | Shian [attr="class","shianimgtop1"] [attr="class","shianimgtop"] [attr="class","shianicon"] [attr="class","shianmain1"] [attr="class","shianquote"] ❝ Hi hi. One Wild Framboise Milk Cre-... [attr="class","shianmain"] Getting from point A to point B quickly was one of Ego's specialties, especially when it was to get from one job to the next. Workaholicism was rampant in the man as he traveled through alleyways that very few people had discovered, and entered through the employee entrance. In the back-room, he started putting on the uniform for the building. Oddly, he was assigned a women's uniform but it didn't bother him. As he put the uniform on and folded his normal clothes nearby, his body shifted to accommodate his new feminine attire, growing a slight chest and shaping his body into more of an hourglass. Such a quirk was impossible to control as all of these changes were automatic; Shian the man was not Shian the woman, and his second job of that day was simple, keep the dessert section of the store stocked and raring to go. It seemed that the person who handled his job before him had an emergency, and left early as several products upfront were out of stock. Sheesh, this place had such a low staff problem. [break][break]
[break] Upfront, there was a woman manning the register. She was a simple clerk, handling just the register and documenting what was needed so she could get everything stocked upfront. At first, she seemed rather panicked as she was the only person managing everything until she heard the door close from the back. A quick glance was all she needed before she saw Shian's head-turning to get prepared, and she would have greeted him if she didn't hear the familiar jingling of the bell as someone entered the building. [break][break] "Hello! Welcome..." The girl welcomed the purple-haired man wearing a white mask. Something about him intimidated her as she started her greeting, shying away from eye contact with the man. Deep down inside, she hoped Cyan would have been upfront to handle his order so she could take her break, but she had a feeling that he wouldn't be ready in time; the boy was she right. Watching as the man went to the dessert section, right to the newest popular item that had been unstocked on the shelves for the past hour due to having one missing staff member at the time. 'Great, he's going to ask now.' She sighed just as the man started walking towards her, instantly becoming stiff as a wooden board. [break][break] The man asked a simple question, "A-ah yes, the Wild Framboise Milk Crepe Mille Feuille. N-not that I know of. L-let me check." She turned rather stiffly before yelling out to the back. "H-hey Cyan! Can you check to see if we have any Wild Framboise Milk Crepe Mille Feuille left back there?" She walked into the backroom to check as well, and to get Cyan to take over so she could go on her much needed break. [break][break]
[break] Having finally changed, Shian heard the bell ring at the front, followed by the voice of her coworker, Katsumi. The greeting sounded strange, especially to Shian. Someone came into the store that must have been unsettling as he had never heard Katsumi speak like that. Sighing, he had an idea as to what was about to happen but he continued further to the computer to check to see recent logs of what was purchased and what wasn't to just make sure everything was accounted for. For some reason, tons of this Mille Feuille stuff was literally flying off of the shelves. 'Wait, didn't I hear about that new dessert in a commercial somewhere?'[break][break] Just as soon as he thought about it, Katsumi's voice exploded from the front, Cyans name being called. "Yeah! We've got some le..." Katsumi had stepped into the room and closed the door quickly behind her. [break][break] "Cyan please it's your turn. That guy gives me the heebie jeebies." Katsumi seemed rustled for some reason, making Shian's mind contemplate as to just what she meant by it. "Can... can you take care of it? I'll... I'll be back in a bit." She didn't give him a choice in the matter, it was his turn anyways. [break][break] "Fine... I'll take care of it." She turned around and opened one of the coolers in the back and pulled a single package of the Wild Framboise Milk Crepe Mille Feuille out. 'That's such a long name...' she thought to himself, sighing as she put on a smile and stepped out from the back. [break][break] "Hi hi. One Wild Framboise Milk Cre-..." Her voice stopped as soon as she saw the man ordering the dessert. A simple expression of shock filled his face as he stood across the counter from the man who had just pre-ordered a 1/3rd figure of Princess Kyuaran from the Preyure series. If memory served her well... this man's name was Sonota Ouzei. Shian wouldn't continue speaking, but would instead just put the container with the Mille Feuille on the counter, staring the entire time.
