[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

[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!"

[candidatenepgear]

Looking to the small bat with a tilt of her head.

"Survive? You mean...he has what Kido-kun has? Aren't those cards exceptionally rare?"

Looking to her sister. "R-right!" A few quick steps and she's taking her sisters hand, her form also beginning to pulse.

[darkkiva]

"𝐎𝐭𝐨𝐲𝐚-𝐬𝐚𝐦𝐚 𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦 𝐝𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐃𝐞𝐜𝐚𝐝𝐞. 𝐇𝐞 𝐨𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐝 𝐚 𝐝𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐟𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐬𝐮𝐜𝐡 𝐚 𝐩𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫. 𝐈 𝐝𝐨𝐧'𝐭 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐦𝐮𝐜𝐡 𝐛𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭. 𝐈 𝐚𝐩𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐢𝐳𝐞."

Meanwhile, Otoya had caught up to the anger stricken rider.

"On the contrary, I think you left a lasting impression."

A brief, cheeky smile. Before he turns serious.

"Genm could very well be the one who infiltrated Planeptune's cybersecurity. She found out, right? About her mother?" He spoke, knowingly, yet sighs. "I hid the footage. It was originally in Planeptunes archives, but after discovering it from perusal and maintenance..I encrypted it and moved it to the Basilicom archives. I figured, no one would find or look for it, since it's miscategorized. It begs to question why it was hidden to begin with, but I digress."

Hand on his shoulder to pause him for a moment.

"Compa chose you. She could have left any time, but she didn't. I wanted to protect everyone by..keeping this a faint memory. I tried to delete it. But some data here never is truly gone. Find, Genm. There's a chance he showed her the video. In fact, with how everything is going, I'm certain it's him. Give him a few hits on my behalf too, yes?" A smirk.

"Keep in touch. Tell me everything after your encounter. I'll keep my eyes peeled."

[immortalwish]

He'd step outside, watching the goddesses and the Oracle with mild interest. Slowly the remnants of the building and some of the area around them began to pulse as well

[presidentneptune]

Her hair clips glint and emit a glow as well as she was beside him, her eyes closed. Steadily the basilicom becoming whole again, down to the very foundation.

[oraclehistoire]

The building set straight with a set stream of light coming off it before the glow from her and the goddesses faded. The Basilicom looking as good as new.

"Goodness..." a small pant, landing back on the ground.

[g3rider]

He'd hurry to pick up the tiny oracle, now more so cradling her form.

"Thank you Neptune and Nepgear" a small bow of his head before moving to walk inside.

[carbonatedalchemy]

"You all never cease to amaze. Now!" He'd gesture to the goddess and the candidate.

"Inside before you both catch cold!" A wave of his arms as he ushers them Inside.
