Right. I thought that's what you meant. But...no. Okay.
[She gets it, her head dipping in amusement at her own mistake. But then the way he'd worded it had been odd. No matter.]
We're tied then. This was my third death as well. [In this lifetime.] It's funny, how so many people here reacted, but it's different once you know what's on the other side, isn't it? [She chuffs a laugh, waving her hand to wash away the odd topic.]
[To be fair, perhaps his joke only really made sense when you knew the rest of the crap he had to deal with back home. It was his fault for wording it so ambiguously.
There was a raised eyebrow at comment, wondering just how often she was going to throw him for a loop.]
Pretty much. Not that there's really an other side here, but maybe that's kind of a good thing. They'd probably have one helluva headache dealing with all the rush revival jobs for everyone stuck in this place. But how in the hell did you die three--
[--oh. Right. The rock. That's part of the reason he dropped by here, wasn't it?
Digging into his jeans pocket, he fishes out said stone and sets it onto the table with a faint 'clink'. It's uneven and sort of jagged, as if it was blasted off of something else, and, most importantly-- it glows. It's not obnoxiously bright or anything, but it's enough to clue in that this hunk of stone is Not Normal.]
Rocks, more like it. These things were built into some weird pseudo-windows in this underground tunnel we were all stuck in.
[And now, he looks sheepish.]
I sorta, uh... broke one or two of them. It was for a good reason though! And definitely not because I was pissed off about anything.
[Rei wasn't really up to discussing that, not right now. Especially not with this new object staring her in the face. She reaches out, poking at the stone with a finger and frowning.]
Is it...magic? It doesn't look like any stone I've ever seen before, and I don't think that it's got any traces of arcane energy on it. Or spiritual energy.
[She turns to look back at the delinquent, eyebrow arched. She is very much assuming you threw a temper tantrum, and judging you a little bit for it.]
[HE CAN FEEL YOU JUDGING HIM REI-- and she's not entirely WRONG to, because it was a pretty stupid move in hindsight. But it made sense at the time!!]
Apparently these things were owned by a ghost who didn't like people busting up their property. It tried to do... something to me at first, but I fought it off and tried to get the rest of the group to get outta there before it got any more bright ideas.
[And there's a frown, the next part not leaving a good taste in his mouth.]
Unfortunately, either we had a slow-poke or the ghost is some sort of track champion, but one of our crew got possessed and tried to take us down instead. [Except the ghost actually just brought out Souji's vampire side and let him loose, but Yusuke was too busy running to catch that part.] Anyway, I sorta... yelled at the thing and it asked me if I was volunteering for something, so of course I said yes, as long as it gave me some info and left the others alone.
Next thing I know, there's a hand in my chest and I'm in my bed three days later with this thing. I can't really pick up any energy or anything from it, so I figured I'd take it to you since your sense is better at stuff like that. [And there's a sigh.] But if you can't pick up anything from it, then we're probably back at square one.
Still, she's not going to interrupt him, just letting him blurt everything out. It sounded like they'd had a much worse time than her group had, even though they'd all died. Three of them did so because they were morons.]
I'm sorry. That actually sounds like a really, really bad set of circumstances. [Especially for this place.] I wish that I knew what it's reasoning was, but this being Cerealia and all...that's a little hard to really pin down.
[It's easier when it's dark gods and mad queens seeking life energy, or vengeful aliens from the future or something. This is just weird.
There's a pause and she picks up the stone, turning it over in her fingers and studying it. It's strange. It's glowing, but it's not magical in the slightest. That...]
And no, we're not necessarily back at square one. Magic isn't the only thing out there, after all. What if it's just a natural crystal? Or...actually. [She looks more intently at it, her frown deepening. Crystals. Rocks. Just like...the Power Guardians. And the Moon Kingdom. And that was as much...]
It could be technological. Just like back home. Sometimes, technology doesn't look like you'd expect it. [Like crystalline castles and the entire structure of Neo Crystal Tokyo, Nemesis, and...]
[There was a shrug in reply to that, and he waves it off.]
Nah, it could've been a lot worse. Honestly, before all THAT stuff, we were just wandering in a weird maze for an hour or so. I think being in a prison surrounded by a ton of ghosts would probably be the crappier pick, although you wound up doing something really cool with it in the end. [And he scowls, dredging up the bit of info he gleaned from the ghost.] Anyway, it said it was one of CERES' many 'failed experiments' of some sort. Maybe the crystals were part of it?
[He perks up as she observes the rock, however, glad to know this wasn't a complete dead end. Buuuut that wasn't quite the answer he was expecting or hoping for.]
A machine? Really? It can't be-- you'd definitely see some wiring or something in there, right? Not to mention it's broken, so unless this thing is super complex, I can't see how it's still glowing.
Possibly. But...[She snorts. Because that's a bit of a stupid thought, Yusuke.] It is very complex. Think about it. We're in a world where there are spacecraft, a colony with realistic virtual reality, and we have these. [Waves her CEREVice.] They don't have obvious wiring do they?
It's like one of Clarke's third law. Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. If we think it's magic, but neither of us can pick up anything magical from it, then we have to assume it's either natural, or a machine.
Which...means we might should contact Hiro Hamada. I'd suggest Tony Stark, but he's departed now. Either way, Hiro is a wizard with machines. He could probably tell us if it is or isn't technological. And maybe work out what it does.
[Look, he's only really familiar with what's current in 90's technology and whatever weird organic mash-ups the Demon World had, leave him alone Rei 8(]
Well, they do on the inside, don't they? Like I'm sure if we bust open one of these CEREVice things, they'll have a whole mess of crap in them.
[But you can see his face slowly growing blank at the mention of laws and technology and all that fancy stuff, and he grimaces once she's finished.]
Yeah, I'm... just gonna roll with what you said, about the magic and machines and all that.
You know where we can find this guy, though? Or do we just shoot him a message all 'hey, we found a weird rock that's possibly a machine, can you tinker with it', and hope he doesn't think we're crazy?
Maybe. But do we really know? It could be anything. Powered by crystals formed into specific patterns to conduct energy or other things like that. [Like on the Moon.]
And yes, as a matter of fact I do. He's one of my better friends in the colony, so getting him to check this out wouldn't be a big deal I think. He'd probably be excited, and he's definitely reliable.
[Even if he looks like a child.]
I can do that now, if you want to go ahead and check it out?
I dunno, these things were used as underground windows. I don't think they're half as complicated as that if they just stuck 'em in a frame and called it a day.
[He rests his hand on his chin, giving this some thought. Well, if Rei had that much faith in this Hiro person...]
... but okay, fine, let's get in touch with this guy. May as well get to the bottom of this as soon as we can, right?
[She plucks out her CEREVice and gives Hiro Hamada a quick text.]
Hiro, can you please come by my apartment? A friend has something that we think you should see. Something from the incident, and something that might be technological in nature.
[It doesn't take long for Hiro to text back with a "Sure, on my way!. It also doesn't take time for there to be a knock on Rei's apartment door. She'd caught him just as he was about to head out so it wasn't hard to change direction. Baymax is in his suitcase and rolling behind Hiro and he has his backpack but he looks a little more bright-eyed than usual.
Probably the promise of new tech, actually. As soon as Rei opens the door he grins up at her.]
You know, I'm just now starting to see how many people stole stuff from those kidnappings...it's kinda awesome.
[Meanwhile, while Rei's getting in contact with Hiro, Yusuke's going to take advantage of some of the food and snacks set in front of him, now that the heavier stuff has been put out into the open. After all, he technically didn't eat for three days, so he may as well start catching up a little now.
However, the knock to the door came a lot faster than he had anticipated, and he hastily finished up the last snack before Rei went to answer it. No use stuffing his gourd and looking dumb in front of a super smart high tech guy. Weird, though, his voice sounded pretty young--
And then Rei steps aside and he finally gets a good view of Hiro, and his face drops in surprise.]
You-- He's a kid? Seriously?!
[EXCELLENT FIRST IMPRESSION SKILLS THERE, URAMESHI, GOLD STAR FOR YOU]
[You know. He was just starting to get used to people taking him seriously without questioning his age and his smile falls flat as he stares at Yusuke. Fear him in all of his five foot tall wrath. But he's mostly giving him an "are you for real??" look before he sighs quietly and looks up at Rei.]
You didn't tell him much about me, huh? [Judging by his expression toward Rei it's fine. He doesn't expect her to (she shouldn't have to), but he's still a little annoyed with the reaction. Ah well.] Nice to meet you too, dude.
[Rei shrugs her shoulders and shuts the door, standing behind Hiro and patting his shoulders. She half expected this, honestly. Yusuke was not...bright.]
I didn't think it was necessary. Regardless. Yes, Yusuke-kun, he's young but he's one of the most intelligent people I've ever met. He's got a gift with machines.
[WOW, REI, RUDE?? Though maybe at this point in his life, he should just expect things like this-- after all, the afterlife back in his world was overseen by a bossy toddler, so a kid with advanced tech knowledge shouldn't be that far of a leap. There's a small huff at Hiro's look, though (sorry, dude, he's seen much more intimidating shrimps in his time), but it wasn't totally undeserved.]
Well, excuse me, I just-- had a different image in my head, that's all. But if Rei's piling that much praise onto you, it's probably deserved in one way or another. [Mostly because Rei doesn't seem the type to hype people up for the hell of it-- at least, he didn't think so anyway.
Something Hiro had said at the door finally caught up with him, however, and it feels like something he had to address to both him and Rei.]
And for the record, as much as I'd like to claim credit for stealing this dumb thing, I never actually wanted it. I just broke it and took it at the time 'cuz we needed some good path markers in the tunnels, not because I wanted a fancy glowing paperweight. It just... kinda wound up in my hand once I, uh... [whoops, should he mentioned that he died to this kid--]
[Don't mind him, he's just sort of preening a little. He knows he's very gifted, that's not the problem. It's that he also knows for a fact that Rei doesn't hype people up and so being one of the privileged ones is a nice thing. He folds his arms over his chest and listens carefully, starting to get the impression that whatever they brought back and whatever he's about to look over is possibly a bit useless now. The expression turns just a touch sympathetic at the end, but he rolls right along.]
...you can use the d-word around me, you know. You're not the only one I know who just got back a bit ago. [It doesn't make him happy, but really. No need to filter things from him, especially since it might lend itself to how worth this thing is.] A lot of people got back with different things anyway. I'd be interested in seeing what exactly you've got.
[And then, belatedly:] Tea's fine, Rei, if you have it. Otherwise I'm good. Thanks. [He even has manners around her, look at that.]
[Ugh, and now he kind of wishes he didn't contribute to this kid's ego. Not that he didn't have anything to be proud of, of course, but it kind of annoyed him in a way he couldn't quite place. But Hiro's comment does take him by surprise, however, the part about others bringing items back from their adventures a new development for him. Just how many died to salvage some info from this place?]
... well, whatever this thing is, it's important enough to piss off a ghost and make it drive a hand in my chest. Of course, it just looked like part of a window at the time for me, so...
[He moves the glowing, misshapen crystal that was resting on the table closer to Hiro, an invitation to take a better look at it.]
Here. Rei and I couldn't get any spiritual or magical feelings from this thing, so she figured it might be some sort of fancy tech instead. I don't know how, but that's why you're here, I guess.
[He'll be moving in closer, making himself comfortable like he's used to being in Rei's apartment often enough and picking up the crystal without any sort of preamble. He brings it up to eye-level, turning it in his hands and nodding slowly as Yusuke continues.]
It wouldn't surprise me. Cerealia's known for having some pretty high-end stuff. Look at the CYBuddies. They look like normal pets until they malfunction. [He purses his lips in thought.] That ghost didn't give you any indication on why it was mad, did it?
[There's some interesting details about the crystal, depending on how much Hiro wants to fiddle around with it for the time being. For now, Yusuke's going to settle back onto the couch, keeping an eye on Hiro in case the rock decides to do anything weird. It seemed pretty benign at the moment, but given all the crazy stuff that's happened, he couldn't be too cautious.
He does make a bit of a face at the question, however, but he's going to have to swallow his pride if they're going to get anywhere.]
I got a feeling it's probably because I broke it's dumb window crystals. It didn't pop up until after I touched those things, and it told me I couldn't have any of them because they belonged to him. Or, er... it.
But it sucks to be them, 'cuz it looks like I made it out with one anyway. Weird, right?
They couldn't have been that stingy if they let you make it out with a piece anyway. [From first glance there isn't a lot he can pick up and so from there he drops to the floor so he's level with the table, opening his backpack and pulling out some tools. Namely, he's grabbing a flashlight, a magnifying glass, and a few other items.]
What else did you guys see down there? Sounds like you were in a group I didn't hear anything about yet. [Luckily he's working fast. While waiting on an answer he's already flipping the crystal around to get a closer look, tinkering and examining as he goes.]
[The number of tools emerging from Hiro's backpack was a surprise-- why did he have all that on hand? Was this a machine otaku sort of thing? -- but seeing this kid go straight to business on the crystal was kind of fascinating.]
Psssh. They were stingy enough to kill me over it, so unless I touched it's unbeating heart somehow, it might not have been paying any attention.
You probably didn't hear anything about it because we didn't really run into anything all that interesting-- aside from the ghost and the gems and stuff. It was just tunnels and more tunnels under some place that didn't look like the city, that's all. The place where I found the crystals was kinda fancy looking and not really Cerealia-like, but... [And here, he frowns.]
I don't really know if my group found anything else after I kicked the bucket. I kinda made a beeline here after I 'woke up', so I didn't get to check in on them yet to see how they're doing.
[Yeah that's a pretty apt description...ah well. It should be clear why Rei initially recommended him to look at the thing seeing how he's multitasking in his examinations and tests while holding an intelligent conversation. Or at least a coherent one.]
Everything out there was designed to kill us. One of the guys we were with exploded because he tried to steal something, and we almost suffocated for getting locked in a room full of their stuff. [Too casual? Too casual. He's had a few days to rest and get his head back together at least.] We were one of the groups that didn't end up in a tunnel, I think, since we were in a room that led to somewhere I think inside the CERES tower? I'm still not really sure. I'm still putting pieces together about where people really went. We didn't get anything interesting either besides a ton of pictures and video footage.
[He picks up the crystal then, knocking it on the table to test something before stopping and squinting at one place on it.] ...I can tell you one thing. Whatever this is isn't exactly one in a million. Actually? Guess it's number 002213. [He frowns, tapping it again and going back to his investigation. It's wonderful that he spends hours and hours a day analyzing pretty much everything around him. That makes this much faster.]
...think I've got an idea what this thing is. When Rei gets here I'll explain.
