[Semi-Open] A Nurse with No Name

[clumsynurse]

After discarding a majority of anything that had some semblance of familiarity in her wardrobe, Compa found herself in a village on the outskirts of Eastern Planeptune.

Using spare credits, she took on the plain black long dress of ceremonial robes with a deep hood to conceal herself. She was nearly out of her home nation and as minutes ticked by, she knew she had to at least be across the border soon. There were a lot of places she could stop and hide once out of the boundaries of what was familiar.

Comments

[immortalwish]

"Oh brother..." Eyes rolling from under his visor.

"Well, that's how this whole mess started, didn't it? Aside from him once again throwing a tantrum and resorting to murder"

Although he himself instigated. As usual, he's going to not mention that.

[presidentneptune]

"Always such a way with words. You could learn a thing or two" elbowing Kitaoka.

"Ne ne. So! All we know is that...Compa ran off? That's the jist of when we arrived on the scene. Howwwwever!" A dramatic pointing to her younger self.

"Alright me! What happened exactly from the time Compa got here until she left?"

[oraclehistoire]

"Etto, we may have to address shares later. They can and will rise again as they always do. For now, Otoya-san is correct. We had the...uncanny privilege of knowing Compa her whole life. It is time we do...extend some semblance of peace for her sake as well as our own"

The oracle now perched on Hikawa's shoudler, a bit of a glance to Asakura and Otoya.

"Neptune, you need to be as accurate as you possibly can, and you too Asakura-san. You of all people understand that your time here is on a very thin sliver. This fighting has cost us all a lot of time that we could have spent looking for her"

[g3rider]

A shake of his head at Kitaoka. He'd been ignoring any comments about diving in to make an arrest or much else. This wasn't a common group of people, much less incident.

[carbonatedalchemy]

"Kitaoka...always so eager for justice, but what kind. And at what cost"

Rubbing Neptune's back, he'd kneel before her. "From the time she woke you up until she left with that man, what all went on? Were her mannerisms any different than usual?"

[how_vexing]

A very small nod to Otoya, his arms now crossed as he glared down at the rest of them, namely Histoire and Kitaoka.

"Hold on...Man? What man?" He spat out. Although unseen, his teeth gritted.


Several seconds pass as he tried to gain a decent-or for him decent enough amount of composure.

Again the thought of his nurse shrinking from his touch and avoiding his gaze had him right back to his usual temperament. If some mystery man did something to his woman...

"Go on, Neptune..." a slam of the base of his Cobra staff on the ground, almost in a final fashion.

[planeptunecpuneptune]

"Yooou betcha! Compa is my best friend! I raised her myself! Er-part of me did! She took care of me when I had amnesia! Uh...how many times was it now?" A shrug.

"And mister meanie snake rider, you've always been looming over Compa like some weird...golem guy! But she loves you well enough, so!"

As everyone urged her to get to the point...

"Uhhh right! Compa got me up! We had breakfast. She even gave me a bath! We had more breakfast and uhhh oh yeah! The guy from 𝙶𝚊𝚖𝚎 𝚌𝚘𝚛𝚙𝚘𝚛𝚊𝚝𝚒𝚘𝚗! Right right! He popped in! He seemed like he spooked Compa a little bit. She was very jumpy. He showed us these!"

Neptune brandishing a handheld out to everyone. "Compa has one too! She really liked the cool Knight game. I'm stuck on the fifth level--but! After I signed a deal with him to issue this sweet baby out in Planeptune he and Compa both left at the same time! More like she was trying to rush him out but yeah"

[candidatenepgear]

"Neptune, for the last time it's 𝙂𝙚𝙣𝙢 𝘾𝙤𝙧𝙥𝙤𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣, not game corporation!!" A shake of her head.

"If she was jumpy around this man, maybe she knew him?" A tilt of her head.

[darkkiva]

"..Hoh? Genm corporation."

Arms crossing.

"Sounds like a typical deal all overeager businessmen go for." But he can't deny, that the timeline of things happening..made him have a slight hunch to a potential correlation. He already knew, that in order for Ouja to be here..that that bit of 'information' had met Compa's eyes or ears. He had to speak carefully. For now, he plays up appearances. This was his chance to confirm the recent information breach attempt that had failed so miraculously.

Turning to Asakura.

"Well? Ring any bells? From Neptune's account, it sounds as if she knew him. Anything you can tell, would greatly help."

[immortalwish]

"Someone moving in on your territory, Asakura? I knew that girl had a bit of brains somewhere" a shrug.

"Maybe she ran off to elope with him?"

Of course another attempt at goading.

"I don't really see how an adult woman running off is our problem. She's well in her rights to do so"

[presidentneptune]

Her face dropping and now she began to jab Kitaoka repeatedly. "Will you be quiet?! What are you doing!?"

"Ahm.." a sweatdrop. "We have the contract on file, Shuichi here when he was in a better mood found no flaws with it. It's a common business deal, so..."

[oraclehistoire]

"Abababababababa!!" The oracle vibrating and casting silence on Kitaoka.

"A-ahem! Asakura-san, when she came home what went on. And be as honest as...well, honest can be!"

[g3rider]

"Oi! Did you not listen!? Were trying to diffuse the situation here!" A sweadrop beneath his helmet.

Always...how did this guy become a lawyer?

[carbonatedalchemy]

He was considering stepping between Ouja and Zolda...

Then thought better of it.

"Genm is not a very common name I would think. Perhaps there's something to that in seeking out answers. As for the handheld..." He's taking it from Neptune to inspect.

"Very advanced with a classic feel. There's even ports here to perhaps add emulators or music files. Hmmm"

[how_vexing]

"Eh? What was that?" Good thing he didn't break his transformation. His eyes widen and his demeanor visibly changed.

The very man that aided him in one of the most pressing issues had also been the last person in contact with Compa.

Needless to say, he is seething with rage. Considering the last few things very vaguely touched upon with Dan was him hinting about what Compa had all hut yet found out.

"Bastard..."

His head sharply snapped up at Kitaoka. His long stride brought him chest to chest with the green rider. He'd pull a card--the Survive card to be exact from his belt and press it to his cybernetic looking visor. "Do you really want to chance it?!" He'd do a mock turn before headbutting him and proceeed to stalk off--not before pausing at what would have been where the doors should have been.

"To anyone that even tries to think that I would do anything to her--or fathom what I would do for her..." He breaks his transformation and fishes into his pocket for the box that still had the ring in it and threw it over his shoulder at them where it lands on the broken tile with a thump. "For a place that relies on faith, you all have so little of it yourselves"

For now, he had a date with someone that would not end well. Dan wants a game, well he has a whole new one on his hands.

[planeptunecpuneptune]

"Huh-" purple eyes watching Asakura's attitude shift. "Ne do you know-" falling silent as he bashed against Kitaoka.

"W-wait, Asakura!!" Calling after him but a bit hesitant to move to follow him.

[candidatenepgear]

"Ah!" Looking to the ring box now stuck in the dirt. "Was he-" looking to Otoya then to Asakura's retreating back

[darkkiva]

A sigh...kivat II would disengage from his belt, as he reverted back, flapping over to Nepgear to perch along her shoulder.

"Give me a moment, if you will." He nods, and turns to catch up with Asakura with a bit of a jog.

Kivat II mere mused with a hum.

"𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐫𝐲 𝐧𝐨𝐭. 𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐢𝐧 𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐞𝐲𝐞 𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐬 𝐦𝐞 𝐡𝐞 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐡𝐞'𝐬 𝐝𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐠. 𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐒𝐮𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐝...𝐰𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐝𝐨𝐝𝐠𝐞𝐝 𝐚 𝐩𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐥𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐥 𝐛𝐮𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐭."

[immortalwish]

He pulls his deck from his belt. If he could speak? He'd be too stunned to do so.

How on earth did Asakura gain a survive card?!

[presidentneptune]

"Woah! Hey guys!" Yelling after the both of them, although she knew neither would listen.

"Aah mouuuuu! Shuichi-kun! You really gotta blow it like that, don't you!" A stomp of her foot.

[oraclehistoire]

"Goodness..." Histoire looking to the ring box before flitting down to pick it up out of the dirt.

"So, despite all that's gone on, he has had a mild change of heart..." Gestuing to Neptune a moment. "Hold onto this, please. He'll be wanting it back, I'm sure. In the meantime, everyone please step outside...ahem, more outside. I can repair this, but I doing so I will be unavailable for oracle duties for three days. A small price to pay, but..."

[g3rider]

Popping off his helmet, he'd look to the retreating riders before the small oracle.

"Histoire, don't push it if you can't manage..."

[carbonatedalchemy]

A sigh after pulling his transformation. Crossing his arms. "The man may not have faith in much, but his drive sets him apart from many of us"

A slight brow raise at the mention of a survive card.

[how_vexing]

He'd turn on his heel at the sound of footsteps behind him, his eyes narrowing at Otoya.

"What? Not enough dramatic flair for you?" Jamming his hands in his coat pockets, he'd look down at his boots.

"She's not coming back" letting the statement hang in the air. "This...I shouldn't have ever gotten 𝙞𝙣𝙫𝙤𝙡𝙫𝙚𝙙 with her" a huff of a curse at himself.

"He's a rider too, Genm. I'm going to make him beg for death when I get done with him"

[planeptunecpuneptune]

A nod, pocketing the box. "Histy, you should at least let us help!" A nod to Nepgear.

She would place a hand over her chest, her form pulsing softly. "We got this too!"
