I wouldn't be surprised if the government hid things in both our realities. Not to sound like a conspiracy theorist, but they're pretty self serving, aren't they? And the few people trying to do good are kept on a leash.
[He hates it. Hates that Fushimi and Izuna tried to do the right thing, and were reprimanded by the government. Had their promises turned into lies at its behest.
It makes him want to crush those in power for that, among many other reasons.]
I suppose I should also ask: Jack Frost looks like a little snowman with a blue hat, right? Just to be sure of the similarities.
As long as it's convenient for them, they'll really just do whatever they want, huh. If only that was different, too.
[Akira knows that all too well, up close and personal. The Conspiracy and all of its branches spread throughout all of Tokyo like a poisoned plant, and his own murder intended to be covered up so one man could get into power.]
But yep, that's a Jack Frost, 100%. Does something called "Bufu" sound familiar, by any chance?
They have to take the "Right Position" to save their own skins and not make a choice until they're sure their on the winning side.
[ It's deplorable. It makes his skin itch, knowing that they'd been willing to kill so many people. The good of the many may outweigh the few, but in the situation they'd been put in... Humans were never going to have won. With the angels or the demons.
That's why he'd stepped in, wasn't it? ]
And yeah. It's ice magic. I'm familiar with it. Same with the rest of those elemental spells like Agi and Zio. I'm guessing that Dia might be a healing spell for you as well, right?
That part really is the same, then. People in charge are good at misusing their power.
[It's disappointing, but it's not a surprise. It'll probably be the same across every reality he encounters, because it's something deeper than a world that's shared. It's human nature.
Akira's seen the gross underbelly of it all... and it sounds like this person has seen a lot of it, too.]
Our magic is the same as well, though, even down to the spell types. Were you able to use all of it freely?
[ The people in charge are good at misusing their power, huh? He's not sure that will be him too, but perhaps he hasn't seen enough yet. Isn't the phrase absolute power corrupts absolutely? To say nothing of a demons inclinations and propensity towards chaos and destruction.
The future is ever uncertain, isn't it? ]
you couldn't be from somewhere where the people who are supposed to look after you didn't. Hopefully you can catch at least a slight break here.
[ He can't help the next part, when this guy asks him if he can use his powers freely.
He snaps a picture of Orthrus and sends it to Akira, conked out on the floor. One head with its tongue loling out, drooling, and the other resting on a paw far more politely. ]
Yeah, I can use my abilities freely after getting them back. Not sure how good of a guard dog this one is being, though.
Feel free to come see it as often as you want. You're more than welcome too.
[Other people have had different experiences with demons, but the way these words have been written makes it read as... Fond? In a strange way. He can't relate, but he can still offer.]
I have other ones around often enough, so you may see a few others.
A pleasure to meet you, Kurusu. And no worries, formalities aren't really my thing anyway.
I dont normally have Jack Frost out since it's winter and I don't feel like accidentally freezing my roommate out, but I can make an exception for you if you ever swing by.
Sounds good, though. I'll drop by when you least expect it.
[He'll definitely swing by with something good to eat. Whatever this connection is, whether or not they're from each other's future and past... Akira needs to figure out what's going on between them.]

Feels like I haven't seen Orthrus in ages. Maybe this is that slight break after all.

I'm Kurusu, by the way. Probably a huge lapse on my part to not even do a self-introduction before a guy shows me his demons.

I can't bring a Shadow, but maybe I'll still bring a surprise. Do you have any food allergies?
no subject
A surprise, huh? Nope, no food allergies here. I can't wait to see what you bring.
My cottage is pretty easy to find, I think. Orthrus is usually sitting outside to keep an eye on things.
wrap from me :3
