The fishermen on the dock regarded Lapis with a questioning eye "Just fishermen." one said as he strained to stand "making an honest pay selling fish." At that moment a man in a very traditional looking Japanese high school uniform, though with messy blond hair walked up. "You seem rather different." He said to Lapis "Human, youmu, demon, you are not. You asked these humble fishermen who they were, but might i ask who you are?" He then pulled a pair of cute pink glasses out of his pocket "Also willyoutryontheseglasses?!" he bowed.<br/><br/>____________________________________________________________________________<br/><br/><br/>"Work is a loose term to give dogs leashes." She then sighed "Man i was hoping you'd refuse and skewer me, would have made this more dramatic." The doll gets ripped to shreds and a young woman steps out of a purple transparent door in a strapless white dress that cut off in frills just above her knees. She retained her grey purple skin and star patterned scar on her forehead, though that wasn't enough to make her not cute. "As for power, do whatever you want. i'll tell you when you are about to overstep." She walks up to him and peers up into his mask on her tippy toes "Questions handsome?"<br/><br/>____________________________________________________________________________<br/><br/>The bounded red field took SOF by surprise as he knew what it was. He also knew what came next as the two titans melted. He covered his mouth<span style="font-style: italic">You've seen worse than a pile of gut! You've seen worse!</span>Even in thinking that, he wanted to throw up so badly.<span style="font-style: italic">Wait, how does Kurisu...</span>His thoughts trail off as he sees the ghastly look on her face. She put her hands up to her mouth and immediately couldn't hold it in any longer, Vomiting. He looked away from her and swore loudly before grabbing her around her shoulders. Before he could make his escape however he heard someone address him directly. He gave a quick nod with a ghastly face of his own and mouthed the words "Follow me." Even if he is shorter he is able to force her back down the hill and under a tree. She sat down and cradled her legs rocking gently. SOF rubbed her back for what seemed like an eternity. The Quartet of strangers caught up with him so he forced a wry smile. "That was supposed to be a tournament. Then a magic field sucked their life force away until they were nothing but puddles."  He remained quiet after that as Kurisu never acknowledged the others, Eventually though she pushed his hand away and stood up wiping the tears out of her eyes "I'm... I'm fine now."<br/><br/>SOF definitely knew that she wasn't fine but before he could really figure out the words to say she had already started away from him. "Kuri..." SOF's breath caught. He felt like it was impossible for him to comfort her with words. He because of this settled with walking beside her and giving her the most reassuring smile he could. He was hoping that maybe she had a direction in mind, but he knew she was just walking away from what she saw.<span style="font-style: italic">Hopefully we can find a place to rest... maybe i'll talk to her then.</span>SOF mused inwardly.
