Day 3: Pamphlets
Day 003: Pamphlets
Ryan looked at his guns with a satisfied expression on his face. Suisei had left a few hours ago after Ryan pretended to be asleep throughout the night. As soon as she left, Ryan decided to do some upgrades to his guns. With Edhas's skills, he was able to implement a few things to his guns while adding extensions like a scope. A satisfied smile crept up his face as he nodded. "Humu-humu."
"Please tell me you didn't just actually do that," Nux said with a disappointed tone.
'I guess Ina's been rubbing off on me,' Ryan said. 'How are things going on your end?'
"I gave Grimm a bit of a boost," Nux said. "He's probably going to start building up the phoenix dimension soon."
'That's good. Gives Tenchou a place to relax,' Ryan said. 'Plus, it would be nice if he joined the war against MILF.'
"Why? It's not like you need his help or anything," Nux pointed out.
'That's true, but don't you think it would be badass to have an army of phoenixes charge into' battle? Ryan pointed out.
"That's fair," Nux said. "Hey, maybe we should try getting as much people on your side as possible? That would be fun."
'Well, it's not like these first two weeks matter,' Ryan pointed out. 'We're probably going to be going back in time again anyways.'
"All the more reason to screw around!" Nux cheered.
'Whatever,' Ryan grumbled. 'It's not like I could get you to stop, even if I wanted to.'
"Well, at least you're right about one thing."
-
Grimm stood up, closing his eyes. Search within himself… He concentrated on each individual body part, taking deep breaths, despite the fact that there was no air. As Grimm thought about the absurdity of breathing without air, he felt a slight breeze. "Did I just do that?" He asked himself. He searched deeper into his soul to see a burning flame. It was small, but it had potential to grow. "I see."
Grimm held up his scythe and fire started to envelop the weapon. As the fire started to spread, the wood was replaced by solid gold and the blade gained an aquamarine glow as the steel vanished in favor of concentrated plasma. "This is pretty neat," Grimm said to himself. As he took a step forward, a tuft of grass started to grow beneath his feat, flowers blossoming around him.
"How ironic," Grimm chuckled. "Once I was death, but now I must bring life to this empty dimension."
-
Ryan was already leaning on the wall of the KFP when he got the phone call. "KIKKERIKIII~!!!"
"I'm already here, Tenchou," Ryan said. "Where are you?"
"Oh, I'm in the back room!" Kiara said. "Let me get the door for you."
As Ryan hung up the phone, he saw Kiara dash out from the back room, opening the door for Ryan. "Sorry, I didn't think you would come early."
"Well, it's not like I have anywhere else to go," Ryan shrugged.
"Maybe I should keep this place open 24/7," Kiara playfully smirked at Ryan. "Then you can stay here all the time."
"As much as I love working here, I have to cross the line there," Ryan chuckled.
"Aw, man, I would love to keep you around," Kiara sighed. "The fun we could have together."
"You better choose your next words wisely," Before he knew it, there was a scythe to Ryan's neck. Ryan heaved a sigh, not even bothering to turn to face Calli.
"You know, with the way you're acting, I would be hard pressed to believe that you two aren't married yet," Ryan said, forcing himself not to chuckle.
"W-what?!" Calli's scythe wavered. As it did, the scythe approach Ryan, making a small cut on his neck. "Don't you value your life?!"
"Only during Tenchou's overtime," Ryan quipped. Kiara burst out laughing, which sounded like she was constantly gasping for air.
"I don't even know what to do with you anymore," Calli removed the scythe from Ryan's neck, heaving a sigh, the blush not leaving her face.
"I'm proud of you, my Little Egg!" Kiara walked up, slapping Ryan's shoulder. "You've got spunk, that's for sure!"
"Wow, you're already giving him a nickname?" Calli asked. "You must really like him."
"What can I say?" Ryan said, his lips curling upwards in a smirk as he turned his head to look at Calli. "I guess I'm just special"
-
Ryan opened the door back into the main room to see that Calli had left. "You know, Calli's scythe is supposed to kill anyone who hasn't experienced death before," Ryan shuddered as Kiara faced him, her bangs covering her eyes as she spoke with a menacing tone. "Is there something that you're not quite telling me?"
Ryan took a deep breath. Kiara was already onto him. It's not like he minded, but he wasn't sure how Nux would react if he spilt the beans. Plus, he refrained from telling Kiara originally because he didn't want her to feel obligated to be his friend, and he had a similar philosophy this time around. His mind whirled as he looked around. "I… actually don't know," Ryan rubbed the back of his forehead, remembering that he was supposed to be an amnesiac at the time. "Things have a bit fuzzy, honestly. I'm having trouble remembering anything before a year ago."
"Oh," Kiara perked up as if she forgot something important. Ryan's amnesia was kind of a major point at this time. "I see. Sorry about that."
"Don't worry about it," Ryan heaved a sigh. "You know, you can be really scary when you want to be."
"I know!" Kiara chirped as she didn't give Ryan a death stare that Rushia would be jealous.
"Hellobo~!" Ryan couldn't help but smile when he heard the greeting of one of his favorite customers. He turned to see Roboco walking in with her normal camo jacket and her (S Tier) pants, wearing her glasses and her attachable bunny ears.
"Welcome to KFP," Ryan said, his smile widening. "My name is Ryan Shade. It's a pleasure to meet you."
"Hellobo~! My name is Roboco and I'm a high-spec robot!" Roboco introduced herself, gracing Ryan and Kiara with her heart-melting smile.
'-100 hp! Critical hit!' Ryan managed to hide the effects of the cuteness overload. Ryan didn't know Roboco too well, but she was the one who helped him get back on track after his first kill, and to Ryan, that was very important.
"What would you like to order, Roboco-san?" Ryan asked.
"Can I have some ramen?" Roboco asked, tilting her head.
"Of course!" Kiara butt in. "Would you like me to use the regular fire or the phoenix fire."
"What's the difference?" Ryan asked, tilting his head.
"Phoenix fire makes the food spicier," Kiara said. "That's why our Phoenix Fire Wings are such a staple."
"Huh," Ryan nodded, rubbing his chin.
"I'll have the Phoenix Fire Ramen please," Roboco said.
"Do you want me to cook it?" Ryan asked, turning to Kiara.
"Phoenix Fire could be dangerous to people who don't know what they're doing." Kiara said. "I'll have to train you when you've been here a bit longer."
"Fair enough," Ryan shrugged as Kiara went off to the back room.
Ryan smiled as turned to Roboco, but the smile vanished immediately when he saw Roboco's expression. Her face was set in a complete deadpan as she stared through Ryan. Ryan didn't know much about high-spec robots, but it didn't take an engineer to know that she was analyzing him.
"Checking files…" Roboco droned. "Identifying… Match not found… Reporting…"
Roboco turned around and walked out of the door before flying off, her feet being replaced by rocket boosters.
"Oh fuck," Ryan said. He didn't know what was going on, but he could only assume that Roboco was going to tell YAGOO that something was off about him. He didn't mind YAGOO as a person, but he didn't want to spill the beans, especially during the first two weeks.
"Your food's ready!" Kiara chirped as she walked out of the back room. When she saw that Roboco isn't there, she tilted her head. "Where's Roboco?"
"She said she had something to do…" Ryan rubbed the back of his head.
-
Nux smirked as he walked down the streets of the underworld. Of course, he wanted to save Storm, but these first two weeks was his opportunity to screw with things with basically no repercussions. He turned to see a house that was uncharacteristically pink and colorful, despite the gray and monochrome state of the other buildings. A wicked smirk crawled up his face as he knocked on the door.
"Nux!" A familiar mad loli opened the door, tackling the pale man in a hug. "It's been ages since I've seen you!"
"Sorry about that," Nux rubbed the back of his head. "I had some stuff to do."
"So, what's up?" Ironmouse asked. "You haven't come to visit the underworld since Grimm died."
"You're pretty popular down here, right?" Nux asked.
"Yep!" Ironmouse chirped, nodding her head. "Why do you ask?"
Nux opened his hand, summoning a stack of papers with a white and blue flame. The smirk on his face grew as he handed them to Ironmouse. "I'm going to start endorsing a new magical KFP that opened yesterday," he said. "Can you hand out these pamphlets to as many people as you can?"
"Sure!" Ironmouse said. "There aren't many places to eat here in the underworld anyways."
"Thanks," Nux said. "I have some business to take care of. I'll see you around."
"Bye Nux!" Ironmouse said as Nux vanished in a white and blue flame. Ironmouse looked at the pamphlets, a smile growing on her face.
"Maybe I'll stop by here myself."
-
Ironmouse's first destination was down the street. Thrash metal blasted through the walls, the house literally shaking. She enjoyed the resident's company, but she was eternally grateful that she wasn't her neighbor. She knocked on the door, placing a pamphlet on the floor. As much as she wanted to hang out with her, she had a job to do.
-
Futakuchi Mana was typing on her computer when she heard the knock on her door. She changed tabs and pressed the space bar, pausing the deafening thrash metal that was playing. She heaved a sigh as she walked over to the door. She was surprised she could hear the door knocking over the loud music but shrugged it off.
"Alright, which one of you fu-," Mana stopped when she opened the door. She looked from left to right, checking to see if there was anyone at the door before looking down to see a colorful pamphlet. She picked up the piece of paper and read it.
"Magical KFP Now open!
Brought to you by Nuxanor, Ironmouse, and KFP!
Eat fried chicken, meet new demons, and torment humans!
Open from 5:00 am to 8:00 pm!
Down the alley at F Your Mom Lane
Pentagram below"
Mana shrugged as she closed the door. She pondered the thought. Pentagrams in the underworld were like teleportation scrolls. She could only assume that the pentagram was set to the KFP. "Maybe I'll visit sometime," she said to herself.
"Go…" The mouth in the back of her head growled. "I hunger…"
"Yeah, yeah," Mana sighed as she sat back down on your computer. "Shut the fuck up."
-
Electricity crackled from the house that Ironmouse stood before. She smiled. This resident was a real pleasure to be around. She knew this particular person wanted to visit the land of the living, so this would give her a good excuse to go. She knocked on the door before walking off.
-
Meimei Roro was typing away on Twitter. With the help of Lucifer and Calli, she was the one who managed to create access to the internet in the underworld, despite the fact that she was a radio demon. She perked up when she heard a knock on the door. She got up, somehow not slipping due to the fact that she was wearing roller skates and glided over to the door. She opened it to see a pamphlet on the floor. She bent over and grabbed it, slipping over her skates in the process.
"Ouch…" Roro rubbed the back of her head as she forced herself up. A smile crept on her face as she read the pamphlet.
"This will be fun."
-
Ironmouse's face flushed red as she walked up to the next house. She was a huge simp for this particular person. She slowly inched forward, knocking on the door before scurrying off. "EEEE!"
-
Aragami Oga heaved a huge sigh as he turned off his SNES. As much as he liked RPG Maker, playing this device that Shinove gave him was a nice change of pace. They didn't have anything like this in his dimension. Even though he wasn't technically a demon, he decided to take up residence here, since he felt more at home here than in the living world. Oga stood up when he heard a knock on the door.
"Who could that be?" Oga asked himself as he walked over to the door. He opened the door, turning left as he heard the sound as he heard the sound of a girl squealing. He turned just in time to see a pink figure zoom out of sight.
"Was that Ironmouse?" He muttered to himself. Ironmouse was a very popular girl in the underworld, but for some reason, he never seemed to get the chance to talk to her. Every time he approached her, she just squealed and ran away. He picked up the pamphlet, a smirk creeping up his face as he read through the pamphlet.
"It seems Kiara's doing well," Oga said to himself. "Maybe I'll go check it out soon."
-
"Thanks for coming over," Suou Patra smiled as she sat in a circle with Saionji Mary, Sekishiro Mico, and Shimamura Charlotte. "Today has been really fun."
"Thank you for inviting us," Mary smiled, rubbing Patra's head. "I had a lot of fun."
"I can't believe you couldn't guess that I would burn the computer," Mico said with a disappointed tone. "It was so obvious."
"That wasn't yours, though!" Charlotte turned to Patra with an apologetic look on her face. "I'm sorry about her. I'll replace your computer."
"No need to be so kind to me," Patra said.
"You really are a little angel, huh?" Mary winked at Charlotte.
"N-no I'm not!" Charlotte shouted.
-
Somewhere in the land of the living, a purple-haired tenshi sneezed.
-
Patra opened her mouth to break up the argument but was cut off by a knock on the door. "I got it," Patra said, standing up. She walked over to the door, opening it. She instantly looked down when she realized that no one was at the door. She picked up the pamphlet, reading it as she closed the door.
"Hey girls," she looked up as she walked back into the living room. "Who wants to go on a trip?"
-
"YAGOO," Roboco flew through the window to YAGOO's office.
"Yes, Roboco-san?" YAGOO looked up from the Hololive Alternative plans he was looking at. "Is there something you need?"
"I stopped by the KFP today," Roboco said. "Ryan's personality doesn't match his files. The files stated that he has never seen a supernatural creature before working at KFP. He seemed far too used to things for that to happen."
"I see," YAGOO nodded his head, rubbing his chin. "I'll call Shade. He'll know what to do."
"Okay," Roboco smiled.
"By the way," YAGOO said, catching her attention.
"Yes?" Roboco tilted her head.
"Great job at the concert."
