Starter Call || @starcrusaded

  Right now, Noriaki has two goals: find his friends, and figure out the city. But this place is huge. Too much to explore in one day, for one person. Can you really fault him for getting distracted by the flashing arcade cabinets in the window? He needs to figure out quite a few things, but... well, a few games couldn’t hurt, could it?

  A few games turned into a few hours of games, however. Unlimited access to so many cabinets, new and old... it was a trap from the start, to keep Noriaki entertained. And it worked easily. Every once in awhile he would get the feeling someone was watching him, but every time he turned around, nobody was looking. He should stay a little longer in case they confront him.

  The single-player games were starting to get boring, though. Multiplayer would require talking to someone new... or it would, if he didn’t have Hierophant to play with him.

  The moment he summons him, though, he felt the eyes turn to him again. He immediately turns towards the man with messy hair looking at him. Noriaki just stares back with a straight face. “Sorry, is something wrong?” He keeps Hierophant summoned. If this stranger wants to fight, he’ll be prepared.

“I guess an aquarium would be kind of a moot point when the city’s underwater, but...” She tries to not think about the abandoned buildings in the city. Research...was there nothing to do with such underwater creatures? “I can’t help but wonder if the animals haven’t been affected by that too...? Well, I mean, I never was really good at science—” Or any other subject ( and nonsubject ) for that matter “— but normally there’d be some kind of cause and effect, I think...in a situation like this? Then again, most things around here aren’t, ah, normal. Maybe that’s why they can coexist like this. At least they look pretty?” Ah. She’s rambling a little again, isn’t she? Uhhhh, quick, she should change the subject—

“Er, have you gotten to look around here? I kinda...felt overwhelmed by the city, so I came out to look at the sea life for a breather.”

[[ It only took me 84 years to settle on some songs.

I will never not associate Splat with vaporwave. There are so many tracks I could have picked. Abelard’s New Age Wellness is one that pans out to be closer to regular music than making you feel like you’re floating face down in a mall fountain.

As you’ve experienced, finding a song to describe Splat and Kujo’s specific relationship is absurdly hard since THEIR RELATIONSHIP IS SPECIFIC AS ALL FUCK THAT DOES NOT EXIST IN THIS DIMENSION.That said, I think Oh Devil by Electric Guest comes pretty damn close. You can kinda see it coming from either perspective.

“Oh, Devil, I know you’re afraidSometimes it’s hard to learn from all your mistakes

Oh, Devil, I’m glad that you cameGuess I should learn how to live because you won’t go away

Someone’s calling for meSomething’s calling for me, again” ]]
