2 Souls [Voice Post]

[soul_dissonance]

So I guess it is safe to say that I'm not in Shibusen anymore. I'm not sure if this is more of a blessing or a curse. Maybe both.

Thanks to that lady from before who passed along some information down to me, I think that I've been able to find my way around this place better than before. I'll have to try to thank her for that later. As for where I woke up... It looked like some kind of empty warehouse. There were some boxes that I found pushed in a corner, but most of them were empty and the last one looked like a corner of it had been gnawed through and was just spilling out sawdust everywhere.

Getting out of there was interesting too. The handles on the doors were so rusted that I ended up having to giving them a good kick. It's a good way of venting out some stress, if you ever want to try it. Even if my right foot smarts a little now.

Heh. And now I know that there are more people out there, and not just those half-dead mutts or some zombies that I haven't bumped into yet...

I'm Soul. Nice to meet you all.

I haven't learned a whole lot about this chip business, but I can tell you that it's a pain in the ass.

I was speaking to someone who had hers removed the other day, and I guess no one knows where the location of the chip is anymore. Fantastic. If any of you three are able to learn anything else about it, let me know. Running around like an idiot in this city because I can't use my powers is not my style.

Speaking of which...

Oi, and Chrona. I'm waiting for you to find me. I think that I'm closer to the port now, even if it doesn't help with that smell of rotting fish.

Soul-kun, hmmm~?

Well, I'm Takigawa Houshou. Do you need some assistance~?

[Voice]

[nummeh-souls.livejournal.com]

Takigawa... Houshou... Say, does that name happen to come with a shorter version? It sounds a bit complicated to me.

Maa, well there isn't much I can do to fight against any of the monsters that are in this city when I'm powerless like this. ...Care to lend a hand?

Re: [Voice]

[bou-hunt.livejournal.com]

You can call me Bou, if you like.

Sure~ Though to warn you, my powers only work on the dead~

[Voice]

[nummeh-souls.livejournal.com]

That works. Nice to meet you.

Just the dead, huh? Shit. Well, I guess that it's better than nothing.

Give me a place and a time and I'll try to meet you there, Bou. Right now, I've got some unfinished business to take care of before I can leave this place behind...

Will you be staying with Chrona, then?

As for the chip, I'm fairly certain we're close to figuring it out.

[Locked to Dr. Stein]

Not sure... I have yet to meet up with him, and if what Deathscythe said about him being from the past is true, then I'm going to have to watch my back for awhile... It was actually the old man who offered me a place to stay. I guess he's still useful for some things after all.

Nice. Some good news for once.

[polymorphically.livejournal.com]

.. Unfortunately, that seems to be the case. With Kid as well, actually. For curiosity's sake, when were you brought here, Soul?

I try. As for the young lady who had hers removed, did you happen to catch her name?

[Locked to Dr. Stein]

[nummeh-souls.livejournal.com]

Yeah... I didn't realize that about either of them until Deathscythe explained it all to me. I just knew that something felt a little off about the way those two were acting when I had the chance to talk to them last.

Geez, don't you and that old man keep in touch at all? Fine... The last thing that I remember was going along with Chrona on his first mission as a trial period student.

Aah. It's Mona Lisa.

Same filter

[deathpapa.livejournal.com]

Tch, figures.

Stein's performed a removal from the neck location and is looking into things, at least. And, well, when it comes to finding things through dissection, I definitely have faith in him no that isn't an invitation to dissect me without my knowing, so I'm sure we'll get this figured out soon enough.

[Locked to Deathscythe]

[nummeh-souls.livejournal.com]

I see... From what Dr. Stein had to say about it, it looks like we'll be able to find out where it is soon enough. Still, I could have done without things being so damn complicated in the first place.

I guess I'm in both of your hands for awhile, old man.

...Oi, how did you manage in a place like this without your powers anyway?

[locked]

[deathpapa.livejournal.com]

...Ha, um. W-well, I might not have managed perfectly. I didn't actually find out I couldn't turn into a weapon until I met up with some monster, and rather than my arm turning into a blade, my hand... turned into a chew toy for a second. Back of my hand's still kind of... lacking some skin but it's getting there.

Mostly, just stay alert and try to stick around indoors in populated places as much as you can for now.

[nummeh-souls.livejournal.com]

..... Found that out the hard way, huh? [Sighs] You're not looking very cool right now, Deathscythe. Great...

I guess there's no other way around it. Thanks for the advice.

[Locked to Soul]

[needs-symmetry.livejournal.com]

So it is possible to have them removed...

I've been seeking additional information as well. I'll definitely let you know if I discover anything.

[Locked to Death the Kid]

[nummeh-souls.livejournal.com]

Yeah... I didn't know what to think when I heard that news, but I guess a little surgery does the trick. I've also heard that having it removed comes with certain side effects. It can make you feel really ill for the next one or two days.

Appreciate it, Kid.

[Locked to Soul]

[needs-symmetry.livejournal.com]

Do you know who performs the surgery?

...Illness is a small price to pay for getting rid of a leeching parasite.

It's no trouble, Soul.

[Locked to Death the Kid]

[nummeh-souls.livejournal.com]

Maa... Sorry. I forgot to ask Mona about that. But since Dr. Stein is looking into it, I'm guessing that someone with enough medical experience could pull it off. As for names, your guess is as good as mine.

[Laughs] A leeching parasite... I guess you could say that. I know that a little sickness isn't going to stop me from getting my powers back someday. I'd prefer not to be some undead dog's chewtoy forever.

[i-foraneye.livejournal.com]

Modsoul? Improbable.

From whence the name?

[Voice]

[nummeh-souls.livejournal.com]

It's short for Soul Eater Evans.

I figured that that it's just less troublesome to introduce myself this way.

[i-foraneye.livejournal.com]

...

In actuality, or merely parental foolishness an accident of semantics?

[Voice]

[nummeh-souls.livejournal.com]

That depends. Which do you want to believe in more?

[timid-dementia.livejournal.com]

he

I-I'm coming, don't worry...

[Voice]

[nummeh-souls.livejournal.com]

.....

All right. Just you wait.

[onceahuman.livejournal.com]

Maybe you could've gotten yours removed if ended up here a bit sooner.

You and Chrona know each other?

[Voice]

[nummeh-souls.livejournal.com]

...? Oh, that. Well... There's nothing to be done about that now right now, is there? So no regrets.

Yeah. I guess you could say that we're friends. Even if Chrona doesn't really seem to feel the same way right now...

[onceahuman.livejournal.com]

No regrets? That's good.

I'm glad he has friends from back home.
