(A/N: Testing some ideas while I bide away my writer's block. If you want you could skip this as it's kinda a starter for the sequel, but it doesn't contain any spoiler for that story or even the ending of this one. Next actual chap is still in progress while I make up more to add in.
And for the reason I'm writing this, I'm bored as hell, testing my new keyboard, and I have like 16 ideas that aren't helping with next chap of 'Coming Home'. So aside from that, please drop a review or whatever else you want, I do love the support and feedback and it really helps me to write more.
Without further ado, Leggo!)
(DISCLAIMER: This is just a test. It may end up being canon to 'Coming Home' and the fic to come next. But that is subject to change.)
[Sunlight City, Early Afternoon]
"Izuna why do you always make me come on these trips?" The hooded man asks, clearly not too happy about being dragged out here.
"Because you spend way too much time in the house. Hell I'm dead and I get more light then you." Her voice appears into his head.
"But do we have to ride out to the whole other side of town just to eat?" The sapphire haired girl pops into the passenger seat, gleaming with greed.
He over to her with a scowl as he slows at a red light. "Look, if you don't like the tacos at Shaikim's then you are one hell of a heretic." She says.
Izuna leans her seat back and looks through the sunroof. "I really do want you to try and start getting outside more though. I know you have your whole thing with your past but that shouldn't stop you from having a life. Annnd your life is also technically my life so if you could, I don't know, actually do shit to keep both of us alive, that'd be nice." She scolds.
"...I'm not ready." He slightly mumbles, but she could still hear him. "I just don't have any idea what I should be doing with my life."
"Maybe, you should be getting me those tacos." He facepalms. "Sometimes I wish I didn't love you. Come on, we're here." She snaps up and returns to her gem on the man's wristband.
"Lycan, you better make sure I get the spiciest ones. Or I'll break something in here." He smirks to himself. "Fine."
[Hotel Haven, Lycan's Room, An Hour Later]
Lycan tosses his bag onto the couch as he lets Izuna out of the gem. "I'm gonna go stream, you feel like joining in or what?" She lazily saunders her way to the kitchen with her bag of food. "Yeah, just let me get some food in me and I'll log on."
The ringtone of a phone can be heard from Lycan's pocket. "Hey I gotta take this." He walks out and answers, already knowing who it is.
Ly- "Hey Liz, what do you need?"
Liz- "Just calling to make sure you aren't dead yet."
Ly- "I'm fine. Now I know you didn't just call for that, so what is it."
A sigh can be heard from the other side of the phone.
Liz- "I need you to come and sign some papers. I need someone for proof of identity."
Ly- "What the fuck are you even talking about Liz? What are you getting into this time?"
Liz- "Look it- It's for a new thing I'm working on. Nothing illegal. Can you please make your way down here since they aren't convinced that 'Liza Dawn' is an actual person?"
Lycan facepalms as he realizes what she's talking about.
Ly- "I'll… I'll let you know. Me and Izuna still have some things we're sorting out."
Liz- "Alright. Tell Izuna I'm still up to movie night too. I'd love to just hang out again."
Lycan chuckles to himself.
Ly- "Sure. Hey I gotta hang up since I have a stream soon, but it was nice talking to you."
Liz- "Don't get soft on me now. Love you Lycan."
Ly- "Love you Liza."
Lycan hangs up the phone as he turns back to the apartment door.
[Hotel Haven, Lycan's Room, After Stream]
Lycan rolls his chair back as he breathes heavily. He'd just lost a game he was tryharding on. Through the walls you could hear Izuna yelling about how the game was 'Trash as fuck and Ms. Rush Meta was broken as hell.' His train of thought is quickly interrupted by a notification on his pc.
Sitting up he looks to see a message from Eden.
E- Dawn have you seen this new game yet?
L- What are you talking about?
E- Here, I'll shoot you a link.
A link comes through showing a website with… some very avoidable things for Lycan.
L- Wtf is this?
E- I know it looks like some generic anime game, but just play it. No spoilers.
Lycan shrugs as he reads down the page. The characters shown look extremely familiar but he can't pinpoint from where.
L- Fine, I'll play it but if I see even just a bit of weird weeb shit I'm done.
E- Fair, tell me when you reach act 2!
Lycan closes the chat and starts the download. The door behind him creaks as he scrolls through his social media.
"Ly, you in here?" Izuna peeks her head in and spots him. "How much got donated?"
"About $3,500. It'll be awhile before we have to worry about rent." He switches to another tab showing the stream's earnings."
"Connor?" She asks. "Yep." Izuna reels back in laughter. "God that guy needs to put down his credit card."
"At least we're getting paid if he doesn't." He smirks. "Anyways, can you transfer like $50 into my account? My headphones might have gotten trashed when I played that dumbass rage game the other day."
Lycan deadpans. "You're talking about the puzzle game where all you had to do to finish wa-" She cuts him off. "S-Shuddup! Can you do it or not?"
"After we pay bills and shit, yeah we can buy some new tech." Her face show relief as he says this. "Thank god. It's so hard to tell whether or not you gonna yell."
He feigns shock. "Whatever do you mean?" She pouts. "You know exactly what I mean, Mr. 'Why do you spend so much on a $5 pizza!"
"In my defense, you spent like 15 more on drinks and chips." The ghost girl's face goes red with nothing left to say. "Hmph…" She turns to his pc, looking for a new subject. "What are you doing anyway?"
[?]
"Baka (T.L. It means idiot in Japanese). Why did you leave me with all the work?" She sits in front of her console as she questions.
'Well it's not my fault I'm just a glitch.' A voice comes in from nowhere, snark and resentment filling it's tone.
"I said I was sorry! What more could you want from the one who thought you were trying to kill her?!"
'Maybe a way out this hellhole. Ya'know, the same one you trapped our asses in.'
"Yeah, and we'll sing kumbaya as we frolic out the magica- AHhhhHHhHhHhHhHhHh!"
A sharp high pitched screech fills her ears.
'Continue that fucking sentence and I will make our death as painful as possible.'
She rubs her ears as the ringing continues. "I liked you better when you would sing."
'I liked me better too until you made Miss. Edgy cut out my vocal cords.'
"I should've just deleted you from the start."
'Biggest mistake of your life.'
A small cup appears in front of the girl as she lies down on the non-existent ground.
'If you don't hurry up with this shit we're gonna end up like the end of Mirai Nikki.'
"Mirai Nikki?"
'A shitty anime with even more shit characters.'
She nods.
Silence fills the void.
"Hey… you do realize that I won't be able to bring you out of here with me, right?"
She can feel the voice's solemn look despite it not having a face.
'...It doesn't matter as long as you save her. Now get back to work.'
(A/N: That's it. God I feel so much better getting those ideas out of my head. This will probably go up this weekend, but I don't really know. Welp, I'm too sleepy after writing this so I guess… have a nice day? Night? I'll stop typing now and sleep. Cya.
A/N from next day: I know this chap is shorter then usual. It's mostly just filler until the next actual chap is done.)
