Our Avatars Were In A Room Together: The RP

Aichi's Room

-Externally, she's just letting him cry so he can get it out-

-Internally...-

{Ow ow ow, that's my hair, owwww...}

Aichi's Room (Aichi)

-It's a bit longer, but he eventually loosens his grip Shantae. His crying is slowly starting to slow, although it's clear that it isn't the end of his sadness.-

"..."

-He's... never had a friend like that die... The closest was Astolfo, and while he cared about Astolfo's death, he never really got to speak to him or interact with him...-

-He wishes Astolfo hadn't died, and fought to try to avenge him.-

-Astolfo's life mattered.-

-Sagi though... Sagi did so much for Aichi... He would like to think that the two had things in common, they got along well, they fought together, they were good friends...-

-...-

-...What is he supposed to do when someone like that dies...?-

-He was never prepared to handle such a thing...-

"...S-Sagi was the one... that led me to the crossroads... After Infinite forced me away from my dimension..."

-Sagi was the one that gave him a place to stay... and Sagi reminded him of that, right before he... he...-

"..."

Aichi’s Room

“...Who the heck is Infinite...?”

Aichi's Room (Aichi)

-...Right... She doesn't know who Infinite is...-

"..H-He was... a cruel enemy... He pulled Lockon and I out of our dimensions just to see the extent of his abilities... The ability to warp reality with the Phantom Ruby..."

-He remembers all of that...-

"...He was extremely powerful with that ruby... I fought him, but I wasn't strong enough to stop him..."

-It took everyone else's efforts...-

"...He worked for an evil genius, Doctor Eggman... Who wanted to rewrite the multiverse under his rule..."

-He doesn't use the term 'evil' lightly. Ever.-

"...And he... he ripped Sagi's wings off... and left him in... critical condition..."

-...Sagi...-

"..."

Aichi’s Room

“...We should get you outta this room.”

Aichi's Room (Aichi)

-...-

-He knows she's right. He knows that he should get out of here, but... he just...-

"...Where should we...?"

Aichi’s Room

“Well a date’s probably a good start.”

-A what now-

Aichi's Room (Aichi)

"E-Eh...?! A date...?"

-That's...-

-...He just... How can he even do that after all of this...?-

"..."

-...But... at the same time...-

-He cares about Shantae... She wants him to go out on a date...-

-...-

"..."

-He finally manages a nod, although he's not sure if he should be doing such a thing.-

-He doesn't even have the energy for it, he's just doing it for Shantae.-

-And then afterwards he'll...-

-...Honestly, he doesn't even know.-

-He'll just... hole himself back up in here...-

Aichi's Room

"C'mon, let's get something to eat, you're probably kinda hungry huh? I know I am!"

-She's even more obnoxiously upbeat than normal-

Aichi's Room (Aichi)

-Something to eat...?-

-...He's not sure he's hungry...-

-He normally greatly appreciates Shantae's energy, but it's actually a little draining at this point in time...-

-...-

-...But he needs to do this for her... Just last through the date, and then you can get back to...-

-...-

-...Nothing particularly healthy, sadly.-

"...Right..."

-He's struggling to even pretend nothing's wrong...-

Aichi's Room

"...Or..."

-She shuts the door-

"You go back to bed, and I stand guard. You...sound tired."

Aichi's Room (Aichi)

-H-Huh?-

"...B-But you..."

-...She just said he needed to get out...-

-...And stand guard...?-

"...Please don't worry about me... I'll... be fine..."

-Oh yes, definitely convincing.-

-For the second time in his (recent) life, he has no idea if he'll be fine.-

-The first was when he felt he had no choice but to seal himself away.-

-And now it's after having experienced horrendous pain, having his memory wiped, killing people, watching a dear friend die, and then being sent to kill his friends and everything else against his will while all he could do is watch.-

-He doesn't know if he'll be fine. This is the second time in which it is the biggest lie to say it.-

Aichi's Room

"...Aichi, I've been 'not fine' before. This is not fine."

Aichi's Room (Aichi)

-Aichi looks at her, and knows full well that she's right.-

-He knows that, and yet...-

"..."

-It's all too much. It's all too much of a massive catastrophe.-

-How is he supposed to handle the fact that...-

"...I... I killed people, Shantae... It wasn't only that I couldn't help Sagi... I killed them..."

-There is blood on his hands. Between being unable to help Sagi, between murdering those people in cold blood...-

-How can just 'not being himself' excuse it?-

-He's been brainwashed before. Back home, when the others got sent there.-

-It was nothing like this. Nowhere near like this.-

-He wasn't murdering people. He just wanted his friends with him. He wouldn't have killed them. He never would have killed them.-

-And a lot of the time he sort of had a handle on what he wanted while he was a Gear.-

-He couldn't remember anything, but he knew he didn't want to hurt anyone.-

-He should have been able to stick to that.-

"I tried so hard to avoid fighting, and yet... I couldn't fight it...!"

-He's stuck in a constant loop here.-

-A loop of 'should haves'.-

"...I... I'm not..."

-...He's not fine...-

Aichi's Room

"...Did I ever tell you about Nega?"

Aichi's Room (Aichi)

-...?-

"...'Nega'...?"

-He's not familiar with Nega...-

Aichi's Room

"Nega is...me. Remember when I got mad at Luffy, and I didn't know why my hair and skin changed?"

Aichi's Room (Aichi)

-Nega is Shantae...? Wait, what does that mean...?-

-Oh, the color-changing... He remembers that. It confused and concerned him greatly at the time...-

"...Yes... I wasn't sure what happened... I was worried about you..."

Aichi's Room

"...She's like...a dark side. An evil me...all she wants to do is burn everything."

Aichi's Room (Aichi)

-An evil Shantae, one that wants to burn everything?-

-Aichi can't even begin to picture such a thing...-

"Shantae..."

-There's a side of her like that...-

-...-

-...He... has a dark side as well. One that he accepted long ago. Perhaps not one that wanted destruction, but it was certainly cold, obsessive, selfish, desperate...-

-...But it was a dark side nonetheless.-

-He actually steps a little closer.-

Aichi's Room

"...I got turned into Nega and I couldn't stop her...I couldn't do anything...she almost won."

Basement — for mobile

Loud clattering comes from the basement of the roomship.

Aichi's Room (Aichi)

-She went through that...?-

-That's horrible!-

"You... You experienced that...?"

-He honestly feels horrible for her...-

-He empathizes. He beyond empathizes.-

"...I'm sorry..."

-He wouldn't wish it on anyone.-

-Ever.-

-koata sat outside the hallway eavesdropping on tehir convorsation, his face, it was empty, nothing on his face-

-everyone was brought back and returned to normal, everything was fine again... no, no it wasn't nothing was fine. They killed people and were forced into horrible forms-

-he can't be a hero anymore... he isn't even one. he can't bear to call himself a kamen rider after all justice made him do-

-and aichi… oh poor aichi why-

-he couldn't save aichi, he couldn't save aichi from himself...-

…

-he then walks away to the stairs-

-N meanwhile is following him, also looking forlorn-

-feeling... a lot of things too, a lot of confusing awful things-

-mauybe he would have felt better if he didn't remember anything, at least not the gear shit, then he would have been a lot happier, heck everyone would!-

-but now her idiots just a walking brick...-

Aichi's Room

"But I just tell myself...that wasn't me. Nega isn't me."
