There will be a follow up update in a day or two.

Posting is optional. This update will come whether or not you post, but it would be cool if we had some posts of people putting in the desire.

OST: Restlessness

Seiji listened on as everyone began to find a good spot, listening. For a moment, one could perhaps spot a smile of some kind, almost imperceptible, though he smiled often, this one seemed to be from a place of pride, though not quite in himself. Then blink, and it was gone, his usual cocky and determined smile back in place.

"Hmhm, indeed Daimon. Perhaps that is the best way to put it, chaos. That is what we shall create", as he spoke he stood straight up from his leaning position, dramatically raising his hand and clenching his fist. He seemed to stop a moment before returning his hand to his hip.




After a few minutes and everyone had chosen a spot, the lids of the crates were carefully put back on, sealing the team inside. There were still cracks from which anyone inside these crates could look out from. Their quality did not seem to be for security, but quantity. From inside the crates, everyone could see Seiji pulling his phone out again.

"Now remember, once we're in the Kingdom, no one is to use their real names. Think of it as... The Sovereign is always watching", the screen of his phone flashed a familiar red, before he began tapping at it. Then, he stepped over to the crate, giving it two knocks as he said. It was time.


Oh almost everyone's posted. Very nice.

I'll look to an update soon, and finally introduce you all to the very first Kingdom.

Just note, we will have chances to go around Tokyo just for the usual SoL stuff, but it's important I introduce how Kingdoms work and that you're all allowed to progress it at leisure among your characters.

The Kingdoms themselves I don't plan to be long, and completing them will be entirely based on objectives. You complete them all you can trigger the final boss fight. More details of course as we go on but this should give you an idea what to expect.

The arrival of a new Hollow was a surprise, but one that was met with. Sara evading backwards and Bakuto running in the way to guard her against the attack. Sara was most certainly safe for this moment, while Bakuto attempted to thrust his blade into it's open mouth. It was a foolhardy move, after all he was putting part of himself into it's jaws, and he would discover this rather quickly as the moment his arm crested past it's white teeth, it would chomp right down on his arm. The bones in his shoulder would feel themselves being squeezed and pulled. To his fortune, this would only last mere moments as Sara and Rei blasted it with Kido, but it had done some damage to his dominant sword arm.

The Hollow reeled a little, pulling back away, angling it's head down to try and hide the mask on the underbelly, it's true face. It began to slither side to side, seeing between the three combatants, Bakuto after his move was now the weakest link, and dove straight for him, aiming to use it's head to batter him quickly.

@McNephelim Tony


It was an inspired choice to go up and into the air to avoid the attack, giving Tony both a vantage point, and avoiding both attacks wholesale. The timing of his plan was a little off however, as the after image would fade as soon as it finished the thrust, dashing through at the same time as the real one, a blue flash would follow as it adjusted it's bladed arm to strike up into the air. Steel met bone-like steel as the Hollow met each blow with it's own blade before avoiding the last one, dashing away quickly, recognizing that the weight of Tony's final swing was greater, given more strength as he was coming from the air.

The hollow stood a little ways away, maybe around several to a dozen feet, three or so blade's lengths away. It looked at Tony carefully, tilting it's head slightly, quickly, it appeared to laugh as it opened it's mouth, no more than a few inches apart, making a rattling noise as it did. It was difficult to understand but it appeared as if it was enjoying itself... Was it impressed that Tony managed to avoid being skewered? Or perhaps it simply liked to fight? Whatever the case may be, it seemed to not attack, it's gestures in fact implied it wanted Tony to approach this time. If Tony took too long, the curious blue Hollow would even raise it's untransformed arm to beckon with it's hand, a rattling laugh following.

@LC Darius Stone


The opponent before Darius was a lumbering beast, large, powerful, and pretty soon as Darius would feel it... Heavy. The next thing he would feel would be akin to a truck striking his side, the entirety of the left side of his body would feel as if it was flattened against a wall and flung across the asphalt. However, he was not without success of his own, the strike he attempted in this short moment struck true, however without proper form and power, it found itself shallow. The mask cracked a tiny chip, the large hollow barely registering the attack, slowly turning it's head towards Darius, but doing no more. No follow up, just... Acknowledgement.

The Kido spell he employed, Koshi, ensured he would be better for it, though it was patchwork, the entire side of his body might be fractured at best, numbing dull pain radiating through his arm and ribs at worst. Yet it prevented him from taking the attack wholesale. Though despite the size and power of that attack it felt more like it pushed him than struck him too. A half measure for offense would be too shallow for this one, but a half measure for defense would be too weak to withstand more than a few more attacks too. The fortunate thing is that he was up against a Hollow that was uniquely... Not in a hurry. He had time to decide.

OST: Restlessness

"A fine question Signora, however the origins of this application are unknown to me too. Try as I might, I have yet to ascertain it's true purpose", Seiji made sure to put the phone to his side to indicate he wasn't going to use it, not yet at least. The screen was still on the blinking request for inputting a desire.

"Thespian, as far as I'm aware a Sovereign can only be one person, I theorize they can also 'include' others within their circle, giving included individuals freedom within their Kingdom. Perhaps akin to a lord and their subjects. That analogy is close too but not quite... Perhaps less of a dungeon, and more like... Hmmm, another realm. You'll see soon enough, it is far larger than a dungeon", he answered as best he could. His knowledge only extended as far as outside observation, and so this theory was likely built off of his investigation over the last month.

"Now then, I suppose it isn't necessary for me but it is a courtesy. I am Seiji, but here in the Metarealm, call me Noblesse. Perhaps I should point out the importance of this... It is so our enemies do not identify us in the real world". It didn't seem like a big deal to many, especially those here who've already operated here with other users... But he seemed to be thinking ahead.

"If there are no more questions, our next order of business is to clear these crates to make room for ourselves... And then of course, pick one to hide in", and of course they had to go about doing that. The crates were filled with coins, gold, jewels, and of course, gold bars which were a western classic for a robbery, along with bags and bags of paper money. The weight of it all however was the odd part, it was somewhat light for gold. Guess that really was because they were fake.

After awhile the crates were cleared, surprisingly quickly given how much was in them, but definitely that was aided by it being lighter than expected. The train carriage had a couple empty crates ready to go, and all that was left for the lot of them to climb into one and close it, but before that...

"Right, for us all to enter the Kingdom, we must input the desire of the Sovereign. When I give the signal, two fast knocks and then a third, input into the screen... 'Freedom to do as I like'", it was a surprisingly simple desire, but the authority it exerted onto Shibuya was unclear, and perhaps that had a lot to do with the way it was worded. "I". Meaning it was likely not something easily ascertainable without getting closer to the Sovereign.

"If there's any preparation you need to do, do so now. Mentally or physically. We'll be in there for a decent while I feel", Seiji walked up onto the carriage, and leaned against the crate, it seemed he was ready to go... Or go back.
I'll be updating soon as I'm done with being sick. Until then anyone yet to post please do.
Let the game begin

OST: Restlessness

Seiji's eyes surveyed the people gathered before him, each face he recognized, and frankly he was surprised that just about every single one of them had shown up today. The vague and sudden summon was perhaps haste on his part, yet the opportunity was rare. He'd be hard at work afterall, not just recruiting everyone, but something related to what he was about to talk about pretty soon. He gave everyone a bit of a smug smile before he began to step away from the train, going down along towards it's carriages, the sharp sound of his footsteps seemed to echo as he did, as if to bring attention to him. Where was he going? Was that not the train right there?

"Fret not Free, where we're going it'll be like a buffet for you", his assurance was expected, but the smugness of his grin as he turned towards Hoshino and Kasuga was not. As he stopped right in front of a carriage full of crates, he tapped the cargo behind him with a clenched fist, making a dull thud as it did.

"Hmhm, it does nothing, except need tracks", he replied smugly, as if he had been holding that joke in for quite some time. What followed was a bit of a pause... Afterall, he had just suggested that they were about to ride a cargo carriage without a train to pull it along. By most definitions, this was not at all a ride, rather it didn't even look like it had sitting space.

"Hm, well I sense a bit of a confusion. We're going to empty out the crates and hijack another train. As you can see, I just trashed this one here", he crossed his arms and tilted his gaze towards the entrance he had created. True... That piece of steam era technology was practically trashed, smoldering, and almost comically on cue, the engine seemed to rupture and explode.

"But that's step three, or four maybe. I'll begin explaining steps one and two", when he had everyone's attention he began to pull out his phone. A smartphone with a red and blue casing. Somewhat plain besides the colours, but he began to tap away at it, before turning it over and showing everyone. It was a familiar screen for everyone, except... It was familiar, as in they had seen it when they first opened the app, well before all the Metarealm stuff. "What is your desire?" There was one difference though... The 'your', seemed to flicker and glitch, and for a moment, it read 'their'.

"The Metarealm has two layers you see, the Metarealm as we know it... And "Kingdoms", where a Black Crown user has been Crowned as it's Sovereign. To gain entry to their Kingdom, we must learn of their Desire... And then put it into this screen", he began to explain. He pulled the phone away and held it to his side. "Of course none of you have ever seen this screen, or at least this version of it before. That is because you won't be able to see it, until you learn what the desire of the Sovereign is. It doesn't matter whether or not you know who they are, so long as you know what their desire is, you will be able to access this screen."

"As for what a Kingdom is, well... Let's just say it's the power of an Authority, but exercised all over the district. In this case, the entirety of Shibuya, for the leader of the Chimeratics", he added on.

"I was there earlier of course, that's where I came from just now, and it triggered something within the Sovereign. Osamu you should've seen it, based on how I spotted you looking at your phone. Their whole network's gone haywire hasn't it? Well... That's because I stole something, but not in the real world... Their leader just thinks something's been stolen. Fact is, not a bit of these precious shinies here are real, they'll disappear from the Metarealm in due time, and they'll never be able to manifest in the real world."

"Of course, for those not following... The simple answer is, we're invading someone's kingdom. I do take questions of course, so feel free to shoot. I currently don't know much more than how to get there, and what a Kingdom does, so my little excursion to secure an in was a learning experience for myself as well."
@Remram That's quite alright, just tells me how much you wanted to be in this RP. Send me a PM if you want to return in the future, and we can arrange something for you.
I do believe it's just Remram left to post. If there's still none for a day or two I'll start working on an update.
Just gonna put it out there but he's run the train into the center of the scramble. So that's where Seiji is right now.

I didn't expect so many of you to be on the rooftop haha.
