Chapter 28: Tomi Kisaragi 2
Music: Impending Doom (Mitsuhiro Kaneda)
Consider 2025
(This place isnt what it used to be. Back in 2025 It was my home.)
Lets talk to Miwako, currently watching over our mysterious stranger.
Oh hey, is that Ryoko?
She was struggling for a while But I think shes calmed down. We need to get her to a doctor.
Maybe, but how are we supposed to do that?
Do you think she came here at the same time?
Well figure it out when she wakes up. Anyway, once that moron gets back Lets decide what to do from here.
Okay
Consider Shinonome-senpai
(Shinonome-senpai I saw her hanging around Gouto. Maybe shes from the future too )
Lets head outside and wait for that moron.
Ah, speak of the devil.
Nenji-kun!
What?
I take my eyes off you for one second And you just go running off looking for your own house?
Yeah? And hows that sickly-lookin second-year?
Well She hasnt woken up yet
You were stuck here either way.
Youre really gonna give me that?
Copped it from a busted vending machine.
It aint cold anymore, but it should be fine.
Drink Canned Soda
Hey, I found a calendar when I was diggin around. The year on it was 2025. Guess this really is the future
Its no different from here. But Im tellin ya, there was some crazy shit out there.
Like what?
Dead ones. Everywhere.
Use The Ogata House on Nenji Ogata
You could say that. But it wasnt there anymore. Guess it got replaced by some skyscraper. Wasnt lookin so hot, though.
What about my place?
Sorry, but its the same deal. Place is nothin but a giant parking lot.
What about Mom and Dad ?
If this is 2025, that means 20 years have passed. Your guess is as good as mine.
I wonder what happened to my place.
Use Dead Kaiju on Nenji Ogata
Another one was real stocky, the size of a damn building. They were just lyin all over the place. I never liked creepy crawly things. I couldnt stand to look at em too long.
Heh, Nenjis afraid of massive, fifty-foot, all-consuming bugs. What a wuss.
How did you know they were dead?
How do you think? They were torn apart. It was pretty obvious.
What? You need to see it to believe me?
We have two choices at the moment. We can check out whats left of Tomis apartment, or we can go investigate the dead kaiju. One of these seems much more interesting than the other, so well pick the dead kaiju.
Use Dead Kaiju on Nenji Ogata
Consider Dead Kaiju
(Morimura Megumi Were they planning on fighting those things?)
Come to think of it, I was talking to Natsuno Maybe this things a big alien weapon.
Please dont indulge Natsuno, Tomi.
Hm?
For an alien machine, it looks pretty familiar. Guess were not so different.
Hey, whered Nenji run off to?
Nothin. Just thought I saw someone. Over there, in the rubble.
Nope, nothing here.
I swear I saw it
Music: SEEKER (Mitsuhiro Kaneda)
Get back in here!
*sigh* Its gone.
How should I know? But one things for sure. Its bad news. That thing was straight outta the movies.
Exterminator, right? It sure did look like it.
Hey Look at this.
Huh?
Shikishima made em?
It was a man-made one. But why?
What the
Its from the kaijus computer. Guess its not broken after all.
Maybe youre doin it wrong. Let me try.
Board member? Like Shikishima board member?
Maybe cause my pops is an exec.
Wait. Youre a rich kid?
Music: Cognitive Dissonance (Rikako Watanabe)
Huh?
Surface Excavation Unit, Giant Moler.
If thats true These machines were made for planetary development. What are they doing on Earth? Especially in the past?
Hell if I know.
And Nenji is finally available for us to play with. But first, we havent made any major changes to the board in a while. Lets fix that.
First things first, lets remove Okinos Code? and Miuras Scar?, which we got satisfactory answers to in Megumis last chapter. Well also add Man-Made Kaiju? to the board.
And then we do a lot of new yarning to fill out the various character relationships, including finally getting all thirteen of our Sentinel pilots on the board.
Plus Miwako. I would have added Tamao as well, but I forgot. Oops.
Most of the new relationships are just yellow for friendships, orange for loose connections, or blue for people who done got shot with the magical gun (so Gouto, Miura, and Shu by Megumi or Natsuno by 426 in the Tamao android). I also added two orange connections between Megumi and Ei, because shes failed to shoot him twice now and dont think Im not keeping score, missy!
I should probably also have added a link between Ei and 426 because Im pretty sure the AI who helped Ei in his last chapter was 426 in the Tomi android because who else could it be, but I forgot that too. Maybe next time.
Anyway, thats gonna do it for us today.
