Cast of Characters: | Haruna Kurosawa, 105 |
- Haruna Kurosawa has posed:
Last night was... it was a thing. It made her both really happy and really sad. She knows, very much, what it's like to loose your sister. You feel dead inside. You don't care about the world. You wish you could wish her back---and you can't. She did horrible things in an attempt to ressurect her own sister.
This brought her to shrine in the evening. It's not quite nightime, not quite daytime. Dusk. There's still light.
So Cure Gull stands out in her seafoam green apperance as she lands on one of the tori into the main shrine area. She sighs a bit and looks down.
"At least the world was saved, right?" she talks to the silver raven on her shoulder.
The Raven nods. "We did! Kami-Sama said that Aki would.. and will, be super proud when she hears about this when we get to free her!" he says, the Raven sort of brimming with proudness himself.
Then he pauses. "Is it respectful to stand on Tori?" he asks.
Gull blinks and blushes. "I..I don't know!?" she hops down though to the ground just in case. Peek Peek. NO one saw her... right!?
- Yurei Shisha (105) has posed:
Yurei was just around doing some cleaning, and helping out, nothing too exciting really. But it was part of daily things that needed to be done, so he did it with glee, for it was better then the alternatives of being useless and having nothing to do. He certainly hasn't seen anyone yet, specialy not anyone doing anything possibly dissrespectful in anyways.
Though in his mind, he too is going over things from the previous night, or least things he can remember, as it's a bit spotty after he released the demon inside to go do things. He still hated that feeling, and still wished he didn't have to do that, and is only lucky the giant sun used up all his energy and prevented another incident from happening.
He walks around doing this and that, and then stops, he hears something that sounds like a whisper from where he is, coming from another part of the shrine. He begins walking over that way, should be quiet and no one should be here. Perhaps some kids just peeking around, nothing unsual really, since it was still somewhat early in the evening. He comes around the corner and stops, ooh, it's her and the her bird friend. He queues an eye brow up and then coughs a little, "Hi, can I help you?"
- Haruna Kurosawa has posed:
Cure Gull manages to avoid being seen on top of Tori. Now no one can yell at her about it! Yessssss! She thinks. She blinks as she's called out. She turns around to head tilt at the voice. She stands out in the waning daylight. But that's also a voice and visage she remembers a little. "...Oh!" she beams. "Hi!" she says. "I saw you last night!" she says with a smile. "You were brave standing up to that stuff. Are you okay?" she says with a small hop to her step.
Corvus head tilts.
She didn't quite see him transform into the ridicolous demon that punched a sun, so she isn't making that connection.
"I um. I guess. I just came here to reflect. And pray a little..." she admits sheepishly.
"I guess it's kind of silly praying, for me..." she admits looking down. "Just.... I know what it's like to loose your sister too...." she says softly.
- Yurei Shisha (105) has posed:
Yurei just nods, "Yes, I am fine. Will take more then a giant doomsday sun falling to really injure me. Other then a few bruises, and being out of energy, I'll make a full recover." He also doesn't mention the fact, that under completely dire instances he can transform into a giant demon monster that can prevent him from being completely obliterated.
He offers a smile, "Well, everyone is welcome to pray here, no matter who or what you may believe in. And there is nothing to be silly about praying, no matter who you are. Even if you don't believe in a Deity, it can help to just let one get out all their emotions, or their pent up anger, or just to do something to feel at ease." he takes a few breaths, "I never knew my birth family, so I cannot say if I had a sister to miss. Though, I would hope I some siblings. But i have lost a family, when I came here I had to give them up. So, while I may not be able to fully share in the pain of loss as such, I do understand losing family." Trying to do something to help her feel, less sad on the issue, and doing what he can best, talking to help the air flow more softly.
- Haruna Kurosawa has posed:
Cure Gull nods. "I mean... um." she just looks down. "Nevermind It's just. A thing. About being a Pretty Cure like me." she says without explanation as she walks over to one of the shrines and kneels a bit and just crosses her hands a bit. She just sits in quiet repose for a moment, until she stands back up and turns around and takes a deep breath. And smiles again!
She smiles, but then frowns a little. "Oh...! Oh, I'm sorry." she says meekly. She looks down. "I thought my sister was dead for a long while...." she says softly. "I only found out recently that she's a captive of the Phantom Empire. That... that Pretty Cure Hunter took her." she says softly. "And he tried to take me!....but. You guys were there that day!" she beams. "So that didn't happen. But he's kinda really ruthless. I... I think if he really wants me... he'll figure it out sooner or later." she says with just a little worry.
- Yurei Shisha (105) has posed:
Yurei hmms, he watches her go over and doing a prayer, not disturbing her as she does so. Then listening as she speaks about Phantom and her sister, "Yes, that Phantom guy. I don't like him. I suppose I don't like because he hurt someone. But, there just seems more to it... Maybe it has to do with my other self, I can't place it." he kinda just, herms for a moment, flicks a nail.
"I know very little about these Cure's you claim to be, or this Phantom. I can't say that I can help, or that I can even do anything. But, I do know that I cannot allow that Phantom guy to do as he wishes. Even if I do not wish to be involved in his matters, someone, a feeling deep inside edges me to do it. It could be, simply the way he thinks. I know so little about all of this in fact. About transformations, this magic, that fireball and those devices."
He just sorta sighs a moment, "But, I suppose to others such as yourself, this is normal basic things, and you see it as normal. I can only hope one day, that I see it as such and do not fear the power that resides within."
- Haruna Kurosawa has posed:
Cure Gull smiles. "I can tell you what a Pretty Cure is!...." she says. "I mean. At least. What my group of Pretty Cure is about. Kami-sama said that... there were other Pretty Cures whose power comes from other dimensions or magical worlds...." she says softly. "But. I was offered a choice to become a Pretty Cure to help defend Earth from The Phantom Empire, and it's leader, Queen Mirage." she says softly. "The Phantom Empire... wants to sink the world into misfortune, and recreate the world as they see it..." she says. She looks up. and head tilts...
"Your other self....?" he asks softly.
"What do you mean?" she asks softly, head tilting. Corvus head tilts too.
- Yurei Shisha (105) has posed:
Yurei reaches up and scratches his head a moment, and kind of gives a slight laugh, "Um well.. I guess Pretty Cures are pretty good then. If they fight against that Phantom guy, and I really wouldn't want the world sunk into misfortune and any other bad things. It's hard enough trying to help people know, without them always being miserable cause of bad luck."
He kinda shuffles a little, taking a breath, "My other self... Like, the others, when they change. How do I explain this. Ok, well like you have a form where you aren't you now, you're someone else. like the others that fight. This is me, who I am. I become someone.. no something else when I transform. My other self is not like me, he is very different, and really shouldn't be here at all." Not sure, if that made sense, he's really no good at explaining henshiny things.
- Haruna Kurosawa has posed:
Cure Gull head tilts. "This...isn't my other self...." she says softly. She looks down. "I...um...." she says trying to explain. She reaches to the small bag containing her PreChangeMirror and takes it out. "Everyone....has a mirror in thier heart." she says softly. "The front faces you, and that's who you truly are. But sometimes......" she says. "The mirror reflect the darkness on the otherside. And sometimes.... that's how some people approach it."
She looks up. "But...if you help! You can turn the mirror to help them see who they really are." she smiles.
She gently spins the rolling mirror ball and removes the Precards from the top carefully. Her henshin fades and leaves...Hurana Kurosawa! With a Silver Raven on her shoulder.
"My real name's Haruna Kurosawa. This is me!" she beams. "And Cure Gull is me! We're not two different people. I... Cure Gull. Is the reflection in my heart." she nods matter of factly.
- Yurei Shisha (105) has posed:
Yurei watches her chain, noding softly, "As I said, I am still getting used to this magical stuff. I guess, explaining it from my point of view to someone that does it and knows it, is kind of awkard and doesn't flow right. I am not like that though, I am under the curse of a powerful Oni. A very ancient, very dangerous Oni.." trying to figure out how best to explain what needs to be said.
"So, when I do that where I am the reflection of my heart, it is not really me. I am no longer in control, no longer me. It is this other that is there and in control. Like the others that fight the darkness, I am not easily able to move between changes, or even control things. My heart is both good and evil in ways that cannot truly be explained."
Though, trying to explain it, which works terribly at it happening. Though, he has to admit, she does looks very pretty in her other heart form as well, least to himself that is. But, he keeps his somewhat confused smile on his face as he does his best to explain and talk all this out.
- Haruna Kurosawa has posed:
Haruna Kurosawa blinks. "Curse....an Oni?...." she pffbts. "AN ONI!?" she asks worriedly. Eeek! She calms down though. "Um. Can it talk to you? Does it know what's going on? Can you talk to it? Or is it just sealed and doesn't know anything?..." she asks softly.
Corvus looks at Yurei with some concern. "Do you know how you got this curse?" he Silver Raven speaks.
"OH.. right. Um. Bird's name is Corvus. He's my special friend! It's a long story." she admits.
- Yurei Shisha (105) has posed:
Yurei just laughs a little and nods, looking at the bird, "Yes, long long ago this Oni was sealed away in an Ofuda. I was unfortunate enough to find this Ofuda and broke the binding without realising it, being cursed with his form and his mind. It is why I try to stay as I am, and fight the darkness as I am now. To let him go, is a very dangerous gamble in the least."
He looks over at Haruna and shakes his head, "Not in a sense that makes sense. We cannot talk as you and I talk now, he doesn't see as I see, or learn as I learn. He can speak through my mind to me, to taunt me, to get me to release him. Once he is, then he learns, and sees as I do. The only way to reseal him, I'm not entirely sure. I do know if he runs out of energy he will revert to being sealed and return me to the way I am. It is tough having this curse, but I suppose it is also a blessing. For it allows me to fight, and to stave off the darkness that threatens us all. For without it, I would not possess the strenght to withstand the attacks of those that attack us. I would but simply be another normal human, to be drained, or worse in their conquests."
He takes a few breaths, explaining things is long and hard. But well, it helps him learn things so he has no qualms about it, and if others learn, then hopefully it can help everyone. Though, his enemies will find him a much easier target, but that is just part of dealing with all these things.
- Haruna Kurosawa has posed:
Haruna Kurosawa nods some. "I see..." she looks down. "Corvus.... used to be a demi-god. One I made a contract with for a wish. I wanted to wish my sister back to life, and in turn, I had to free Corvus from his prison- so I was turned into 'Scorn, The Priestess of Feathers and Deception'..." she says softly. "I started draining people's souls to power his release so I could get my sister back..." she says looking down.
"But he was playing a trick. There was never really a wish. Corvus just wanted his revenge against humanity. Some friends, helped me realise this. So we were able to lock him back into his prison. But I was still attached to the contract. All I had was.....dark powers. I started to speak in Ryhme as Corvus did...." she looks down taking a pause. Corvus is also looking kind of ashamed of himself and is also quiet.
She takes a cleansing breath. "If you don't wanna hear this...that's okay..." she murmurs.
- Yurei Shisha (105) has posed:
Yurei but smiles and nods, "I do, I understand all to well. I am cursed with the Oni Akuma, the self-proclaimed god of destruction and annihilation. I know all to well, what it's like to be paired with something that is evil, wants revenge and hungers only for destruction. But, i fight it every day, to ensure he doesn't win, since it is my fault he is now free." He looks at Corvus and bows, "I mean, no offence in any of those words. So, I do hope you do not take them as such."
"I wish to be free of this curse, and to put Akuma back where he belongs but I cannot. If I seal him back, if it's even possible I will lose the ability to fight, to defend that are work and need help. I would no longer be who I am. I would only be a priest, and then even with that I would lose a part of me, for I am me now and nothing can change that. We all do things we must, for it shapes who we are. Being cursed is as much a blessing as a hinderance and I make sure I do everyday the most I can to ensure it benifits all."
- Haruna Kurosawa has posed:
Haruna Kurosawa leans forward and attempts to give Yurei a tight, quick hug and smiles! She steps back and looks down.
"Dark powers aren't fun. They make you powerful... but. They weigh heavily on the heart." she says looking down. "I was...less miserable with just thinking my sister was dead. and besides...it let these strange people brainwash me into releasing Corvus. Then he took the half of my soul that wasn't tainted away. The only one stopping it from... over-running me. Turning me into...something else." she says looking down.
"Kami-Sama...and a bunch of people who helped me, came. Kami-Sama told me what actually happened to my sister...and gave me the Love Seed---the potential power of a Pretty Cure. I had to. Use it to make my Mirror and my PreCards..." she says. "But not before all my friends gave me the hope I needed to activate it. When I did. I. Went to fight Corvus. But..."
"The part of me he took was still connected to me. I...I saw he was in pain too. Why he wanted to bury the world in sleep and feathers." she says. "I couldn't. Let him be sealed. or destroyed. or worse... when everyone else fought so hard to save me, too. I. Um. I purified him." she says.
Corvus looks down. "I owe Haruna-chan a lot...." he says quietly.
She beams! "But. He's my friend now. He's my companion, and acts my Pretty Cure Partner!" she says with a beaming smile.
She looks down. "I wonder if.... there's a way to let you, and your Oni speak." she says looking down.
"Maybe.... you two could work differences out. What you expect of one another..." she says.
- Yurei Shisha (105) has posed:
Yurei listens to her, and accepts the hug with a small snicker and a little blush. He listens to the rest of her story, only noding as he does. It's a sad story indeed, but also a very happy and rewarding one as it allows so much to happen, so much for the good.
"I don't think such is possible. His only need, his only want is destruction. The power he posseses is the reason why he wishes for such. Nothing short of removing his power would take away his want for destruction, but then that would lead to anger, and vengeance. I don't think it's possible to make him want to help, or to even share this body together. Though I suppose if there was a way, it would be lost to time. He is untold ages old, I doubt even he remembers life before he was sealed, other then he wants to destroy."
He takes a sigh and shakes his head, "No, I don't think it can be done. Sometimes, bad things can become good things. They can be healed and purified, sometimes they cannot. Also, it is unknown what might happen if such was tried. Perhaps if we could speak, his darkness might come into me and turn me as dark as he is. Or I could gain his anger, and then who would stop us? Such power should never be used unless it is of the utmost needed."
- Haruna Kurosawa has posed:
Haruna Kurosawa made a boy blush! Her night is now complete, she nods matter of factly. She listens to the rest of her story.
She looks down. "I'm sorry." she says. She looks up. "Um. I...can listen to any problems you have, though! Um...." she reaches into her pocket and pulls out a notepad. (She's found she's just needed one being magical girl for some strange reason... to pass off information.). She gives Yurei a phone number. "That's my cellphone...and my dorm room's number in Infinity! If you ever want to talk, you can drop by!" she beams.
She looks down. "I have. Some friends that can look into things for you, too..." she says gently.
- Yurei Shisha (105) has posed:
Yurei takes the paper, and slips it into a pocket and nods, "Thank you, I really don't have any friends to speak of. Nor do I have any that do the things we do. Pretty sure I don't know anyone that knows anything about curses either, other then some elders but they don't really know cures. They just simply know how to seal, and how to ward them off, not ones already in full effectr."
He looks up into the sky, "But, I thank you all the same. It's nice to talk to someone about things. Specialy someone that understands the reasons for what is done, and why they are done. Most people would never understand, nor would they want too. Being cursed in one form, is very cursed in another as well."
He looks back down at her, "But, it's not all bad. I get to meet people I would never have met otherwise, like you, and your friend. Not every day you meet a talking bird you know."
- Haruna Kurosawa has posed:
Corvus tsks. "I used to speak in horrible rhyme.....all the time. Oh...what a bore. It made m------"
Haruna says. "If you finish that I'm gonna help you file Virtue reports away again~" she smirks at Corvus.
Corvus hrmphs!
"...he used to speak in Rhyme while he was evil. And I did too. Sometimes he makes light of it. It's harmless. I know he means well~" she says, giving him a quick preen with a grin.
"It's...it's good to sometimes make light of a formerly bad situation. It lets me know it's behind me." she beams. "And I do mean that. If you just want to call, or text, or drop by. Worst is that I'm just busy for a bit and we can meet soon after~" she says.
She smiles. "I should probably get home now." she says though.
"Are...you going to be okay?" she asks softly. "I can stay longer if you need to talk more." she smiles kindly.
- Yurei Shisha (105) has posed:
Yurei smiles and nods, "Yeah, I shall be fine. I just have to finish up some tasks, then I will go get a bite to eat. Perhaps I'll write up some more Ofuda, or read a bit, then I shall get some sleep. It was most enjoyable to talk with you, and to share things. It's nice to know you aren't alone in things."
He looks over at Corvus, "Just don't drive her too crazy, or she make seek purification and then you might be a featherless bird, or a wall hanging. Neither would be good, you are far much needed then those things." He gives a small chuckle.
- Haruna Kurosawa has posed:
Corvus sighs and rolls his eyes. But really. He'd rather be rolling his eyes at silly warnings than be a demi-god filled with grief and hatred.
Haruna beams! "Alright then. Remember...! You have my numbers and stuff!"
She takes her mirror again. <Time to Change~> <Rollin' Mirror Changing!>
Then in a flash of Seafoam green light she jumps up off into the sky as her bow turns into wings. She turns around mid hover. "I'll try to visit again soon..!" she beams!
Off and away she goes towards Mitakihara.
