Mikado hummed as he approached Jay, poking him a bit.

"Good day to you, fufu. How has things been? I would like to ask a few questions if you don't mind."

@mikado-sannoji (it's been awhile-)

"Who the fuck are you?"

What was with this top-hat weirdo acting like he knew him? Fuck, why did the whole circus have to show up and harass him? First some robot convinced it was sentient, now a magician with an annoying laugh.

Wait, if this magician knew "him." It probably knew the other Jay, and if it knew the other Jay, it probably knew who Ichi was.

"Do you know where Ichi is?"

“R E S E T”

After a baton pass with a certain person, he had everything he needed to have fun. A button, and a bat.

Jay held a cruel smile, and he walked back to the Himura’s house.

Knock Knock.

You guys wanted a voice claim?

We finally hit 69, we did it boiz.

I’ll make one for Ichi soon.

Maybe one day I’ll go back and make these with better quality, but today isn’t that day.

Sorry Akira.

Somehow he still didn’t feel any better.

Jay still felt alone, alone and bored. He felt constantly exhausted, and never felt motivated to do anything. Nothing ever happened within his prison anyways, all he could do was stare out the window. If anything, he started to feel like a burden to Robin. She didn’t visit him very often, she was usually pretty busy, but he still felt like he was simply wasting her time. The little voice in his head telling him that he was going to end up hurting her. Still, whenever they talked his mood improved a little. Monokat and Ichi tried to talk to him, although he always ignored them. Ichi simply started leaving him food without saying anything, which he only really ate for Robin’s sake. Monokat only ever checked up on his physical health.

Would Ichi really ever agree to letting me out? That seems pretty stupid...

Keeping his gaze over the forest, he sighed. The thought of being imprisoned forever made his hand hover over his neck. It was now covered in bandages, which Monokat so generously provided.

“...”

He wanted to simply give up.

[ichi-peachy]

“Alright!”

“I have all the information you requested boss!”

The cat looked pleased with itself, wagging it’s tail with pride. Jay simply took some papers from it’s hands.

Jay: “Alright, so were able to confirm that Akiko is in the killing game. Or more specifically, she agreed to take somebody’s place.”

He thought for a moment, before continuing.

“Furthermore, the person who died shared a connection with Akiko. Her sister. Akiko isn’t as despair crazed as Junko, so killing her would serve no purpose. I’d wager it was a fake death.”

He flipped through few pages, before reading.

“Didn’t she also say something important before cat? I recall when she was fighting Ichi, she referred to herself as an acrobat. I couldn’t care less about that, but she did call the ordeal an act of the “Hamasaki Sisters.” Her sisters talent being an ultimate juggler.”

He flipped back to one of the first pages he read.

“Although, the tv mentioned her as the Ultimate Voice Actress. This could have been a good cover up, and a throw away talent. So by faking her death...”

The cat purred as Jay started rubbing it’s head.

“Then Akio would be able to hide behind the scenes, using Akiko as a tool. Which is what the voice mentioned. She also claimed that Akiko was willing to go along with being her pawn, and I don’t think Akiko would be willing to do that for just anybody.”

He stood up to stretch, and placed the papers down.

“My bet, is that Akio is the mastermind. What do you think cat?”

The cat looked up at Jay, with an smug smile.

“Aren’t you forgetting about the person working on this case?”

[ichi-peachy]

It was quiet.

Ichi was in her bed, with Jay in a chair next to her typing away. Somewhat busy, he was too preoccupied to notice Ichi moving in her sleep. Shifting only a little at first, but then trashing around. Slightly concerned, he moved away. She stopped moving, but got up. Eyes still closed. She turned directly at him, and her eyes opened, changing from her usual color to a back and red... that’s when everything went bad.

Ichi’s hair moved to grab the bed, and threw it at Jay. Who only barely managed to avoid the large object. Now he realized he was in danger, and why.

“Damn it, not now...”

Her hair extended to attack, trying to stab at Jay. He was only capable of dodging and blocking with his blade. Incapable of escaping. This keep up for a few minutes, as Ichi stood still aiming at him. With no clear signs of awareness towards her situation, all while Jay was wearing out. For the few moments he stopped to rest, a strand flew at him. Leaving a rather deep wound in his side.

Ichi took advantage, jumping rather high, before slamming her leg at him. He hardly had time to pull up his cane in defense. Looking slightly panicked, he looked around for an escape. Unfortunately, she was blocking the only exit. As long as he could survive for a little while longer...

She launched a few needles at him, which seemed to appear almost out of thin air. He slid to the remains of the bed for protection.

“THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT”

“Unfortunately, you completely right.”

He jumps out of his spot, running at her. Tacking her, pinning her down the best he can. Confused, Ichi takes a moment to register what happened. Before wrapping a bit of hair around his neck, in an attempt to strangle him.

0Her eyes began to close, very slowly. Until she was back asleep, looking just as peaceful as before. The strands of hair slowly loosened and fell off. The only difference was that now the bed was in shambles, and blood was dripping along his waist. He sighed, taking his sweater off. Revealing a white shirt underneath. However he wraps the sweater around his waist, attempting to do something about the blood. Then, he slowly gets up. Grabbing Ichi, and dragging her to her closet. Making sure she was somewhat comfortable. Before closing the doors. He sighed as he made his way back to his desk, grabbing a cracked laptop on the floor, and sitting down with his hand covering his face.

“How the hell did I screw up this badly?”

[ichi-peachy]

"You look like hell."

"Have we ever been face-to-face like this? It feel like it's Ichi I'm always talking too..."

There they were, comfortably sat at the steps to what he could only presume to be Ichi's residence. Jay could feel metallic taste of his own blood, he could feel the tender bruises, and minor fractures he had sustained from the prolonged fights he had been forced into. None of it mattered in the face of the god he hated oh-so much.

He could feel himself salivating, finally able to get his hands on his eternal tormentor. There was nothing more he wanted in this moment to rip them apart limb to limb. Was it even possible? Would they have sent so many people after him if it wasn't?

"I'm surprised you'd show your face at all. You and Ichi are the worst kinds of people. Today I'm gonna leave you both mangled and bloodied. How will you look with your jaw snapped off?"

"Any way I could convince you not to?"

"Go to hell."

[ichi-peachy]

"Are you done?"

"They aren't moving anymore, so you can stop hitting them."

Diego might've stopped moving, but that didn't stop Jay from relentlessly bashing his fist into their face over and over. Blood covered the entirety of his fist, and it was splattered everywhere on his clothing. Now bruises and cuts were much more visible on the entertainer. His brown eyes were especially noteworthy, crazed and blurred from all the adrenaline.

"It's a real shame. If we were able to recruit him, he would've made a great asset. You think he could've been a head?"

The vicious assault came to an abrupt stop, and those manic eyes looked right over to the two girls that had snuck up behind him. Was 4 people not enough? Did "Grizz" really need to send in 6 people to gang up on him in waves? Shit. Shit. SHIT.

"FUCK. LEAVE ME ALONE. FUCK OFF."

FUCK. HE JUST WANTED TO FIND ICHI. WAS THAT TOO FUCKING MUCH TO ASK? WHERE WAS SHE? WHY WAS HE BEING HUNTED SO GODDAMN RELENTLESSLY?

And just like that, he bolt right at them.
