♠01: [redux] - death is no bar to the City's call

Jan 25, 2010 10:43

[the recent activity log of Kamishiro Tsurugi’s inactive City-based phone]
[signal: [12:00] : EXISTENCE: in the World of Kabuto. / The City’s SIGNAL is not detected.]
[signal: [13:00] : EXISTENCE: ??? / World of Kabuto’s SIGNAL has been lost.]
[INITIATE: WORLD SCAN > COMPLETE > The City’s SIGNAL is being received.]
[INITIATE: SYSTEM REBOOT > COMPLETE]
[INITIATE: CONNECT > THE CITY > NETWORK > COMPLETE]
[INITIATE: VIDEO FEED]

[the camera attempts to refocus as if it had been long out of use… it eventually gains focus on an inert Tsurugi sprawled across a bench near the Fountain. Tsurugi appears to be dirty and in disarray. Tsurugi begins to stir.]

…Jiiya?

Why... why am I still alive? That blow from Tendou should have been fatal. I must be alive for some reason… or this must be the afterlife.

…This couldn’t be my same life. This doesn't look like Tokyo… unless I’m outside of it. Even so, Tendou would have never gone back on his promise… Wait… why does this place looks familiar...

[the sound of the phone beeping can be suddenly heard… Tsurugi notices the phone broadcasting him.]

It couldn’t be… I’m back in the City…

[video feed lost / sound feed remaining]
