<strong>Time:</strong>2:20 PM<br/><strong>Location:</strong>Apartment building (Toshima)<br/><strong>Tagged:</strong>Ioa<br/><br/>Ioa's<em>knock, knock, knock!</em>was greeted first by silence... and then an abrupt, shockingly loud<em>bang, bang, bang!</em>against the door, causing the wooden frame to shake. The door opened inward, but proved to be unlocked--the rebound from the final slam sent it swinging open, revealing...<br/><br/>What looked like the remnants of a tornado having blown through. Furniture had been thrown around, the remnants of a vase and two lamps were shattered on the floor in front of the door, a bed had been launched across the living room, and in the center of it all were two people, sprawled out on the floor. A young woman, not more than a few years older than Ioa herself, and a man, only slightly older than the woman. The former had a pair of broken-off chair legs buried in her eye sockets; the man's neck was twisted at a horrid, impossible angle.<br/><br/>And, finally, a third figure in the room. A small... person-shaped thing (http://images.wikia.com/megamitensei/images/9/99/Poltergeistart.PNG), with almost infantile proportions, perhaps a foot and a half high and floating just as far off the ground. When the door swings open it lets out a loud, "<em>Keeheeheehee!</em>'nother human! Guess what time it is, human?!" It swings one of its arm-stubs towards her, and Ioa will, if her reflexes aren't good enough, be smacked head-on by a plastic plate that lifted itself from the ground and went whirling, discus-like, through the air. Not enough to seriously injure her, but definitely<em>painful</em>if it hits.<br/><br/><hr/><br/><strong>Time:</strong>2:42 PM<br/><strong>Location:</strong>Ikebukuro (Toshima)<br/><strong>Tagged:</strong>Caine<br/><br/>Caine's trip to the store he'd received direction to was uneventful--no more attacks by monsters dropping from above, and nobody talking about having<em>being</em>attacked by monsters. If the memory weren't so recent, and the event hadn't been so vivid, it might almost be possible to think it had been a hallucination. Almost.<br/><br/>He arrives at the grocery store without much incident--it really is quite out-of-the-way, tucked into the rear end of a much larger building, likely renting out space that wasn't being used by the smallish department store occupying the rest of the building. It's<em>crowded</em>, though that's mostly because it's not a very big shop. Two dozen people are there doing shopping, leaving the middle-aged man and teenaged girl running the register swamped just handling the line.<br/><br/>Though all they take is cash (due to the lack of power to run the register), and are figuring prices with a calculator shared between the two of them, Caine wouldn't have any difficulty getting what he's after. Bottled water and other drinks, canned food, instant noodles, snacks; the only thing missing from their inventory is alcohol.
