A/N They might be ooc. Sorry if they are.
The streets of Shibuya were loud as always, with nothing new. Cars were speeding by, people were talking, and phones were ringing. Not only were the things everyone could see, the same as always, but so were things in the UG. Joshua, though he was a living human, was able to see the Noise; the Reapers; the Players; everything that was a part of the Reapers Game. Of course, it was not easy being able to see these things, as if he had told anybody, they would think him insane. He had in fact tried telling somebody, but they soon began to ignore him because, as most people, they did not believe him.
"But I'm telling you! It's true! There is a person right there! And a frog, do you not see them?"
"Dude I don't know what you're on but there is NO ONE there!"
"*Sigh* I don't know if there's anybody that can see them. But why me?" Joshua asked himself, over and over again. Though it was frustrating and somewhat lonely, he did have to admit it was interesting watching these things happen around him.
He sat watching as a few of the frogs attacked a currently partner-less Player, until someone else came running over to form a Pact. Joshua had seen these things happening for a while now, so he'd caught on to how things work. He knew the Noise would attack people who didn't have a partner but would otherwise leave them alone, that there were reapers responsible for removing invisible walls if the Players could accomplish the given task. He had noticed that some of the tasks were completely useless seeming, just because the Reapers thought it was funny to get them to dress up, or were hungry and got them to bring them food. It was clear to him that there was a Game Master for the seven weeks that would have to be beaten by the end, giving the Players another chance at life.
At one point he saw a frog coming straight towards HIM! How was that even possible? Either way, he took off running, making him probably looks stupid to others around him but he didn't care, life was more important than dignity. He ran until he couldn't run anymore, he wasn't even a fan of running in the first place of course. Just as he thought it was over for sure, closing his eyes, he heard someone.
"It's alright now, the frog is gone."
Slowly he opened his eyes to see a man standing in front of him. He had dark black hair, a bit of hair on the end up his chin, and a pair of sunglasses over his eyes.
"You see them too?!" Joshua asked the man, shocked.
"Yeah, so it seems you can also. I'm Sanae Hanekoma, so what's your name kid?"
"Yoshiya Kiryu. Though I am also known as Joshua, so you can call me that."
"How about Josh or J?" The man known as Hanekoma asked.
"Sure thing, Mr. H."
"Haha, I like ya, J." He replied, happily.
"So you see all the Noise, the Players? All of it?" Joshua asked, suddenly feeling somewhat happy, upon having found someone he can finally talk to.
"Yup. Here, how 'bout we head to my Café over on Cat Street and we can talk about it there with a cup 'a coffee. Only 520." Mr. H suggested.
"Hee hee, sounds good." Joshua agreed.
