In Another Land (II) - 1/5
Rating: PG-13
Genre: Drama/Romance/Light J/N (yes. that's a genre now.)
Summary: What if everyone were put into the land in which Daughter of Evil and related events occur? A lot.
Warnings: Not a happy story.
A/N: Once again, this story is based off of the daughter of evil series (which you can see on youtube) and is written so it occurs in a universe parallel to that of TWEWY. So slight AU~ (Though daughter of evil is originally vocaloid this isn't a crossover. ;D)
The plot will reveal itself more and more with each part, and plz comment!~Part 1: Joshua | Shiki | Eri | Beat | Rhyme | Neku
The Intermission: Source
Part 2: Still | Life
“Well then. Shall we?”
“Neku!!”
It’s Joshua’s counterpart, and Neku can’t help but think of him as a princess as he tries to figure out what he can do, if anything for this Shibuya.
There’s no game.
They don’t know what they were meant to do.
“Neku.”
Joshua’s soft, almost caring voice almost makes me jump, even though I know he’s next to me.
“What?”
My voice is clipped. I’m pissed. Joshua turns business-like.
“There is no UG in this Shibuya, but Souls with high enough Imagination tend to exist, if someone doesn’t erase them or the noise doesn’t get them, for around three weeks.”
I feel like crap. It makes me sick, watching what they’re doing with my counterpart’s body – he really is like a prince – they don’t even notice his hair slowly changing color.
Joshua’s hand was still over my shoulder and he slips it over my eyes, sighing.
I can’t tell if that was a sigh of ‘You should be used to this already, dear!’ or if he was actually trying to act caring for the first time in a while.
I realize I’m shaking quite a bit and that it’s definitely not my hand landing over Joshua’s, holding his own to my face, trying to find comfort. It’s not!
Well. It’s not like we walk out to watch our counterparts get killed every day.
“…So we can save him, then?”
Joshua makes a tired sound.
Tired?
“Do any of them want it? It’s not just about him. Notice the faces missing?” No. I can’t. I’m blind. “Rhyme and Shiki. Minamimoto. Kariya. Uzuki. The usual reapers.”
“Oh.”
I sigh, stepping away from Joshua.
“Well. Let’s go then. I doubt the prince will stand around waiting once he realizes he’s still technically alive.”
Joshua is being…a bit too nice today. It’s suspicious.
Composer and Conductor tune their frequencies to that of the UG, ready to do their self assigned mission.
