A Demon in Tokyo?!

[William O, Creed]

Moving from one spot in Tokyo to another was something that it seemed he would have to get used to. William hadn’t been told during his first week as a police officer in the Capital of Japan that as a newbie he was going to be stuck on patrol duty. Of course he expected as much so that realization wasn’t a major blow, what was a big surprise was the fact that he would be switched to a different section of Tokyo every week for the foreseeable future. It wasn’t a bad idea William understood that as a fresh recruit he would need to familiarize himself with the city before he could be given free reign over it.

Last week he had been on a small section of the streets that hadn’t really amounted to much besides boredom. This week he was positioned in a much smaller location that in all honestly was basically just a train station stop. Sure he had to keep walking to the street outside but beyond a mere hundred feet in each direction there really wasn’t anything else he could do as someone else had authority over any further. This was both better and worse at the same time. He had less area to move through and couldn’t really stop at any sort of store for a drink or snack. At the same time though he had already come across something more interesting than last week.

Making sure that he stood tall which was still attracting the eyes of almost anyone that walked near him as he dwarfed over the majority. He had to look official and professional especially as a foreigner. Everything right now though looked fine as another train arrived at the station and dozens of citizens moved off the hunk of metal like a wave splashing across a beach. From the looks of things he didn’t see anyone that appeared similar to what had happened two days prior and that was good.

Stepping out of a portal Jeff ended up in a train of all places and by the looks of it he was in Japan, Well, this is going to be annoying he thought as the train came to a stop. Time to move already, can't a denizen from Hell get a break? Garbed in his tedious cloak and mask he begins to exit the train grinning as he watches people's reaction to be shoved by something they can't see. I guess only the spiritually gifted can see me, maybe I shouldn't have laughed at those exorcism movies after all, they might have actually gotten something right? Stepping out of the train all he could see for quite a distances where crowds and large buildings. Yup, definitely Japan, tons of humans who are clearly of Asian heritages plus big buildings and high tech stuff, gotta be Japan. Wasn't Japan the place where that cartoon kids would talk about came from, Avatar or something like that? oh well, better stop wasting my time on thoughts like that.

There was one thing he noticed that stuck out like a soar thumb, a man that dwarfed everyone around standing there looking important. Heh, maybe I should go over there and mess with him? He looks like a cop, probably does it for the power, I hate people, with this he begins heading towards William not caring if he bumps into adults but is careful not to do the same to children. Finally getting about 10 feet from William he will try to pass him and stop behind him, preparing to flick him in the back of the head, after all, there's no way this brute of a man has any spiritual power, right?  

[William O, Creed]

William continued to stand in position, his hands now behind his back, while he scanned the citizens that flowed from the confines of the train. It was important that he could see every single one of them while making sure that none of them gave off any sort of suspicious behavior. Whether that meant an anxious look or angry glare he knew it was better to recognize such a thing then miss it. So far nothing really gave him any sort of signal which was definitely a good thing although it was another motion in the sea of boredom that came with this career.

After about thirty seconds since the doors to the train had opened William noticed something that was definitely out of the norm. While virtually all of the citizens were wearing face masks at the moment there was a specific individual that was being incredibly rude. Not only could William see him pushing his way through other individuals, but what really caught his attention was the fact that he couldn’t make out any sort of feature about this individual. Everything he could see about him was from clothing that looked tattered while being dark in color.

Unable to sense reiatsu William couldn’t tell that what he had noticed was a convict of Hell that had somehow managed to escape from his jailers. What he could see though was that this individual was more than just a little rude, on the verge of assault in some cases were his actions against the citizens around him. William knowing that at this point he could intervene was about to move towards him when he realized that anyone he was pushing had stopped and looked around them as if searching for the culprit. This was the give away that the cop needed to figure out what he was looking at happened to be something spiritual.

Unmoving, unfazed, ungiving but alert. These were the traits that William seemed to be emanating as he stood a guardian for the common folks of Tokyo. He did he beat to keep his eyes off the entity only keeping it in view through his peripheral vision. When the thing got behind him William quickly turned and grabbed at the creature’s wrist squeezing. “What are you doing? Who are you? State your reasons or else.” At the next moment he didn't want to admit what he was feeling on this creature's wrist. It felt like a chain!

[Jeff Franklin]

Lifting his hand he was preparing to flick the big oaf in the back of the head when he surprisingly turned quickly and grabbed Jeff's wrist. Really? This brute of a man can see me? They will just let anybody be spiritually inclined won't they?. "Would ya look at that, somebody who actually see's me, you might want to let my arm go before people start thinking your actually a street performer. To answer your questions, I was about ta flick ya in the head if your to dense to notice and as for my name and reason you can call me Jeff who's reasons for being here are none of your business". 

If William doesn't release his wrist he will then yank it from his grip (as he has 66 strength) and will then precede to wipe some dust off of his cloak. Leaning in close Jeff will then ask "How does someone like you get to see someone like me anyway? Experimentation? Born with it? In any case I won't be disturbing your little area mister barely better then a mall cop". Jeff will then continue "Although the idea of people seeing you talk to your shadow is amusing, maybe I'll stick around a little while longer".

While this is all happening Jeff will continue to adjust his mask and fumble with something metallic under his cloak which William wouldn't see the cuff's and chains currently hanging from his wrist. If William ever got a good look at them the chains would travel down about a foot before vanishing, that is the best he would be able to describe it as they don't seem to be cut or broken just vanished out of sight. "In any case I don't feel like causing trouble today, so consider yourself lucky", as Jeff speaks this he will begin to yawn and smack his lips.

Well this was just great. Not only was this spiritual entity concealing its entire body so any physical distinction that would tell William exactly what it happens to be is hidden, but he’s also . . an idiot. This spirit so far hadn’t done anything that would lead William to be concerned for the citizens around him. Although that was a far cry from reality as he was already concerned with the presence of a spirit. Even if this was just a plus, which it wasn’t, that meant it had the possibility of attracting even a minor Hollow to this area. If something like that happened Will wasn’t confident he would be able to stop it without someone getting hurt.

The way that this spirit spoke definitely wasn’t something that Will enjoyed. Perhaps a few years ago when he had still been in American he wouldn’t have been able to contain his anger. Thankfully the training he had undergone in order to begin his career was something he could fall back in right now. This spirit although a loud mouth ass was still saying nothing different than many towards the police. Will wasn’t planning on releasing the hand of the spirit although at the same time wasn’t expecting it to have the strength that it did.

This was really starting to get dangerous as the spirit continued to provoke Will with its loud mouth. The moment that this idiot was asking for came when he began to adjust his mask. Immediately William’s right hand sprang forward set to strike the spirit in the throat. Not knowing why this loud mouth was wearing a mask William right away went for it attempting to yank the mask off yet at the same time making sure it would mess with the vision of the spirit. “No wonder you’re alone. I already can’t stand you.”

[Jeff Franklin]

Sadly Williams' jab to the throat failed as Jeff made sure he could still see as he was adjusting the mask. With a quick twist of his body to avoid the jab he will precede to slap that hand away with his left hand allowing William to briefly witness shackles around his wrists. The attempt to yank his mask off on the other hand mostly succeeded as Jeff tried to stop it but the combined power of him holding it to his face and William trying to pry it off broke it in half. William would now be able to see Jeff’s face which would surprisingly look pretty normal and would not show a reason for wearing a mask.





“Well great, that's just great, I finally get out of there just for some brute to shorten my time of freedom and by the way, people don’t like me because I don’t like or trust them, I just hope your happy with the fact that you've just been waving your hands in the air for no reason to the surrounding populaces eyes”. If William was paying attention to his surroundings he would notice he was getting some strange looks. Jeff will now stand just out of reach of William to make sure he doesn’t attempt a stunt like that again.

So this spirit at least knew how to dodge a straight jab although the way that it moved its body told William it may still be fresh to combat. What was more demanding of his attention however were the shackles that William could see for only a brief moment. To be fair he might not have seen them if it hadn’t been for the rattling. That’s what really had caught his attention and now altered the tall Fullbringer to what exactly this spirit may be. The snapping of part of the mask on this spirit’s face didn’t quite give him the answer he was now expecting though. William now holding the part of the mask that he had broken could see that the spirit looked just like a normal boy.

William acted just as quickly as the citizens around him began to gaze towards him. Reaching his left arm across his chest and beginning to stretch. Showcasing the normal folks around him that couldn’t see this spirit that the police officer wasn’t just punching the air for the fun of it. He was stretching out his muscles from standing on patrol for the last several hours. “Perhaps the real reason people don’t like you is you did something bad enough to get you sent down below. Look recent to it hasn’t twisted you yet.”

[Jeff Franklin]

"Oh, I know exactly why I got sent below and trust me, people don't like me because I don't try to be liked, after all, nobody else knew what I was doing." Finishing that sentence he giggled a little knowing he was never caught and in turn was only punished after he died, the only comfort for ending up in Hell was knowing the one who twisted his mind and turned him into what he was should be there as well. "Plus that I know of the only ones twisted by Hell are the ones born there, them and the people who have been there for a very long time and has gained some form of power from it."

"Nice save on the not looking like a lunatic attacking the air by the way", with a smirk he states this while following suit and stretching both arms in the air, after all he's pretty tense himself after escaping from where he did. Setting his arms back down to his sides he begins circling William like a wolf around its prey, this wolf on the other hand does not plan on attacking. Hmmmmm, breaking my mask set me back a little bit so how should I spend the rest of my time here I wonder?, Stopping his circling on Williams left side he claps his hands together once I got it!

Looking at William he begins in a slightly amused tone "How about we play a game? If you can successfully guess the reason I was sent to Hell then I in turn will give you aid one time in the future which you may cash in at any time!" Waiting for a response from William he begins looking around at his surroundings, seeing nothing but tall buildings and crowds of people he turns back to William for his answer. If the answer he receives is no he will roll his eye's and if it is yes he will smirk and await the answer for the game.

This damned soul really was making no attempt to hide that he was quite simply a twat. No wonder he had been sent to Hell. Here he was laughing about the fact he was a Sinner. William had read a library worth of information on all of the religious afterworlds and yet this sort of Sinner hadn’t ever even crossed his mind as a possibility. The way he acted was more like a mischievous individual that one could see in a young kid or teenager. What a complete pain in the ass.

William stood his ground now making it seem as if he was keeping a vigilant eye on the citizens around the area that were dissipating swiftly while they continued on their own respected paths. In reality though this Sinner never left William’s gaze as he circled around him like some sort of evil therapist. Damn if only he had the power to just restrain this guy he’d be able to rip his mask off completely ridding him from the human world. Based on how he had reacted earlier when William had attempted to rip the mask and cloak from his head not to mention that he brought up his time being shortened.

The prospect of a Sinner owing him a favor brought a grin to William’s face. “Why should I ever need a favor from the damned? Just another way for you to weasel your way out from the pit isn’t it? Why don’t you do something productive with your time away from polishing Satan’s marbles. You can’t die again permanently I do believe so why not go attack somewhere that deserves it almost as much as your home?” William wasn’t really opposed to playing this guessing game that the Sinner was interested in, but wanted to see just how well the Sinner could handle the same sort of snark that he was giving off.

[Jeff Franklin]

"By the way you grin that proposal seems to have intrigued rather then be opposed, but regardless of my owing you something or not I will always wiggle my way out of the pit, so it's just a bonus for you." Grinning himself as he answered William, Jeff began to circle him again while continuing on the conversation, "Please, if Lucifer had his marbles polished it wouldn't have been from me, after all, I haven't been there long enough to meet the big man." Pausing in his tracks he chews on the last question before coming up with an answer, "I would have to say the reason I don't search for places to attack and cause mayhem that deserve it would be because most people on this planet deserve a punishment of some sort, therefore I would already be where I need to be in order to cause trouble to those who deserve it, after all, the only people truly innocent are the children."

"Soooo, after answering all of your questions are ya still up for a game? In fact, I think I might just sweeten the pot a little bit more, if you can guess generally what I did to end up being sent down the spiritual drain I will owe you a favor that you can cash in at any time." Finishing up the first bit of his proposal he begins to circle again, "However, if you can guess exactly what I did then you my big friend have just won yourself to favors, how does that sound, hmmm?" Stopping directly in front of William as he hmmmed he put his arms behind his head and waited for the response.

This really was something out of the norm at least compared to what William had experienced growing up with the spiritual community in the United States. While he had been growing up he had only ever encountered or been told of encounters with the damned a few times. It wasn’t something that happened often at all due to the difficulty that faced them to break out even for just a bit of time. So how was someone only about as tough as himself able to get out right now? Could Lucifer or one of the Lords of Hell be playing some sort of game?

William had no way of knowing, but did know that the longer he kept this citizen of Hell occupied the better the chafed were that no one would get hurt by him. So despite wanting to send him back immediately he’d keep talking. Playing along with this game that he wanted for the time being, William ponded over the answers he’d received, how he spoke and of course the fact he was in Hell. Jeff would have to wait about a minute until William’s expression changed.

“It’s fairly obvious that you murdered others while you were a human, for what reason I can’t be certain, but something perhaps along the lines of believing by doing so you were purging them or the world of evil. You more than likely only sought out those you saw as problems that society accepted.” William didn't hold anything back giving everything he felt about the individual he had met based on how he had spoke up to this point although knowing full well that he could be way off.

[Jeff Franklin]

While in front of William waiting for his response Jeff would eventually put his hands back to his sides and hang his head backwards, perking up when William finally started to talk. "Yes, you are correct and you have fulfilled the criteria for the bonus prize!" Speaking this as if he where a gameshow host and while doing so he would begin clapping. "You my friend have just earned an amazing gift! Don't use it all at once!" Jeff would finally stop clapping after this and he would then give a long intense sigh before he would tilt his head back again.

Dang lights from the city prevent the stars from shining here, figures this would be the first place I end up at, at least I'm finally free from that pit for whatever brief duration. Straightening his head to face forward again Jeff would question William "What's a big oaf like you doing here, clearly your not native to what I can assume only to be Japan?" Not actually that interested for his backstory Jeff just wants to get enough information on this man, after all, Jeff is a man of his word so he will fulfill his gift if called upon. This is also a decent time to find out what he can on this guy, after all he has no connections to the world anymore and this man can see him, clearly meaning he could be useful in the future. Jeff will then find a place to sit (as sitting was a luxury in Hell) and lean forward with his chin in his hands as if he was listening intensely.

Based on all the movements and actions form this pit dweller William could surmise that he was trying to take every bit of time he could to relax while outside of Hell. Just the motion of leaning his head back was one that made William think about those that didn’t want to be bothered by anything. He was a bit surprised that he was correct with his guess although at the same time though it was possible that he was just agreeing with William. Perhaps just another way to get out from the pit. William wasn’t certain, but for that exact reason it meant that he couldn’t ignore any possibility.

Watching as he sat down though William was only more certain that this soul just couldn’t relax normally. Although William was certain that the best course of action would be to send him right back to Hell where he belonged, he knew he likely didn’t have the power necessary to do so easily. It was something that would likely take him a bit, drawing the attention of the normal people around which could cause more issues than just supervising this soul until his time was up.

So the decision was made to just play along with this soul until Hell reclaimed its free prisoner. “I’m working to better the world in my own way. A much different method than what you believed in.” William wasn’t sure what else to bring up with someone that literally climbed through the depths of Hell. Not knowing exactly what the most unpleasant dimension held. William wasn’t sure what could make it worse than the endless starvation that was Heuco Mundo.

[Jeff Franklin]

Jeff would give a slight giggle before saying “Believe what you want”, during which time he would begin to play with a pebble he found on the ground by tossing from hand to hand. Some time would pass before he would finally stand up and stretch. During the process of stretching a question would flitter into his mind, “I know you can see me but have you met any others with the ability to see the supernatural?” After all, I hope they aren't all like this gorilla in front of me, there’s bound to be someone who thinks less with his muscles. 


Waiting and listening to Williams' response Jeff would take this time to look around at the surrounding Populace. When William would finish speaking Jeff would put his hands behind his back and state “By the way, you know that guy running to my left through the crowd just stole from that woman who is sobbing?” If William would spring into action Jeff would stay close to him to see how everything plays out. During which people to the right side of William would be shoved a bit out of the way by an invisible force in their eyes.

William on edge about actually trusting this damned soul was ready to tackle him to the ground and starting laying down some blows. Thankfully though it didn’t seem like he was going to make any sort of action against the few people still left around now. William was a bit surprised by the question that this soul asked though. “I’m going to assume you couldn’t see spirits while you were alive. Yes, I’ve come across others that would be able to see you.”

“Although I doubt you’ll recognize it, you’re actually lucky it was me that found you. Good chance that someone else would have feared something from the pit enough to just wipe you and everyone else around right off the map.” William knew he wouldn’t be much better normally, but with all the people around along with the lack of his offensive power currently he couldn’t achieve such results.

He didn’t have much time to contemplate whether or not he could kill this Sinner now that the majority of the normal humans weren’t around. Almost right after William was finished telling this Sinner that he’d likely be eliminated the moment someone else found him, well it was pointed out that someone was dumb enough to steal near an officer. So now he was stuck between two different worlds and had to make a choice.

Taking off like the bullet from s gun William rushed down the terminal chasing down the criminal. It only took about fifteen seconds for William to catch up to the criminals and tackle him right to the ground. Restraining his arms by placing them behind his back and then securing them with cuffs. William made sure to pick up the purse along with lifting the scum up to his feet. “Unit 597 at station 4, thief secure awaiting pick up.” William called into his officer now knowing a different officer would be coming to pick up the thief at the front of the terminal. William though had to make sure this Sinner was still in view and wasn’t causing trouble.
