Character(s): Beat and Rhyme
Content: Beat said he'd be there in two clicks to pick up his sister. Two clicks later, here he is.
Setting: Near Niflheim Gate
Time: Afternoon
Warnings: Beat's foul mouth and diabetic sibling cuteness.

And there were enough bad things in Shibuya to make Beat nervous about leaving his sister alone-- much less how many bad things there had to be in a crazy otherworldy place like this. Especially if what Reno said about the people who ran this place was true. Kidnapping, torturing, weird experiments... yeah, like hell was Beat gonna leave Rhyme to the mercy of whatever she got caught up in. What else was a big brother good for besides protecting his little sister?

He left Spot at a cafe near the station where they'd met Reno, swearing he'd be back in like, four clicks-- two to get to Rhyme and two to get Rhyme back. If two heads were bigger than one, or however the phrase went, Spot surely wouldn't mind Rhyme tagging along with them. At least, he'd better not.

Breathless from running as fast as he could all the way back to the gate, Beat screeched to a halt as it came into focus, darting his head right to left and desperately searching the crowds for her. "Rhyme! YO!" he yelled at the top of his lungs. "I'M HERE! Where you at? RHYYYYME!"

Rhyme waited patiently by the gate once Beat told her to stay still. She smiled to herself, happy to be able to see her brother again. It seemed Beat hadn't really changed at all since the ending of the game. He was still loud and brash. She idly wondered if Beat got into any fights with other people while he was here.

When she heard her name yelled by a familiar voice she looked around, rying to find where Beat was. As soon as she caught sight of him, her lips turned into a grin and she ran towards her older brother. "Beat!" she exclaimed.

When he heard Rhyme's voice from nearby the gate, Beat jumped two feet in the air and spun around towards her. "RHYYYYYME!" he screamed at the top of his lungs and ran towards her. The instant she was within arm's length, he swept her up in his arms and lifted her right off the ground in a gigantic hug.

"I AIN'T EVER BEEN SO GLAD T' SEE YOU," he wailed. "DON'T WORRY, YO, YOU AN ME'S GONNA STICK TOGETHER AN' WE'LL GET OUTTA THIS LAME PLACE SOON, AIGHT?"

After a few seconds in which he fully convinced anyone walking by that he was the one in need of consoling, he let her go and took a deep breath in a feeble attempt to calm down. "How long you been here?"

Rhyme's grin widened, if at all possible. She was happy that she was able to see Beat again. She threw her arms around him and held him close. She was used to him being so loud, and she couldn't help but giggle at him. He was still the same. It was a very comforting feeling.

"It's good to see you too," she replied to him.

She stepped back when he let her go, looking up at Beat, and trying her best not to become too emotional at their reunion. Beat was being emotional for the both of them. "I haven't been here long...just got here a little while ago."

Beat hastily wiped his eyes with the back of his hand and with a loud snorting noise, tried to cover up the fact he'd been sobbing.

"I only been here a day or so," he muttered. Phew. At least she hadn't been on her own for too long. "Mom an' Dad gotta be freakin' out... This place looks nice but I guess it ain't all that safe. So we betta stick together, aight?"

Rhyme nodded, "Okay, I'll stick close to you Beat." It would be like when they were in the UG together. They would be partners again and look after each other.

But Beat presented a good point. Mom and Dad. Rhyme felt a bit sad thinking back to her parents who thought of them as dead. She knew that their parents were still mourning their death. And here they were...alive...and they couldn't reach them to tell them that they were. It was unfair....really unfair.

"I met this Spot guy. He's pretty cool, I bet you'll like 'im," Beat said, motioning for Rhyme to follow him back the way he'd come. He walked next to her and for the first time since he'd come to this strange world, decided he could relax. With Rhyme here, it was just like Shibuya- the two siblings wandering the streets together, ready for anything that happened. "He talks kinda funny an' you gotta get a load've how he dresses, but we struck up a partnership so's we can watch each others' backs."

Rhyme followed Beat, a soft smile on her face as she listened to Beat talk about his friend, Spot. "I'm sure if you like him, then I will like him as well," she replied cheerfully. She was happy that Beat managed to make a friend here. She hoped that Spot was able to keep Beat calm while she wasn't around.

Beat had to wonder for a moment if there was anyone in the world(s) that Rhyme didn't like. She'd even been rather polite to the Reapers.

That reminded him. "Remember Lollipop an' Pinky? They's here too... I ain't sure why, cuz they say this ain't any kinda game and they ain't runnin' the show. But I hear the guys who do run this place are bad news."

Rhyme nodded, "Yes. I think I talked to them earlier..." Yeah, she did talk to one or two of the Reapers if she remembered correctly. Theyd idn't seem to have a clue as to why they were her either. "What else did you find out about this place?" she questioned.

"Just 'bout nothin'," Beat lamented with a bit of a sigh. "I ain't got a clue how we got here or anythin' like that. Though it ain't a game... at least, tha's what I keep hearin'. So the good news is I guess we ain't gotta worry about gettin' erased this time." He shuddered at the mere thought of such a thing happening.

"So, you hungry?" he asked. "We better go find Spot an' then we can figure out some place t' stay... an' maybe get some chow. Cuz man, I am STARVIN'."

Yes, that was certainly good news that they didn't have to worry about getting erased. That was one good thing about this strange place. She didn't want to have to re-live that ordeal.

She nodded at Beat's question, "Yeah, I'm kinda hungry," she replied.

"Aight, awesome. Le's bounce, then," he said with a determined nod. He really couldn't describe how much more at ease he felt now that Rhyme was here. It probably would have been better if she was safe at home-- but he had no way to tell if she was or not. At least if she was with him, he knew she was okay.

This place may have been dangerous and there may have been people out to hurt others-- but they had another thing coming if they thought they'd get their hands on Beat's little sister. Not her. Never again.

Rhyme smiled and followed him, content to be with her big brother again. Even though she was in a strange new place, she felt very safe with Beat right by her side. "How did you meet Spot?" she asked him, curiously. She wondered what kind of person Spot was.

"He found me, actually," Beat shrugged as they walked. Already he could tell he was much more alert than before, watching every alley and sidestreet in case of danger. Either Rhyme really did something for his mental clarity, or he was that concerned about keeping her safe

"I was standin' in the street messin' wit' my journal- they shoulda gave you one too. An' this guy comes up and he ain't got a clue what he's doin' or where he is or nothin'. So I thought, if this was a Game, I better get a partner fast as I can, y'know? So we shook on it- an' we been stickin' together since then. He's pretty cool... think he's a few pork filets short of a bowla ramen though.'

"Oh?" she responded. She was a bit relieved that someone was able to look after Beat while she was gone. She should thank Spot when she meets him. She was sure that Spot must've had his hands full with Beat.

"Yes, I got one of the journals too," she stated. "I haven't really gotten used to it yet." Hm...maybe Beat could show her how to use it. He probably picked up on a few things when messing with it. After hearing Beat describe Spot, she smiled, "I can't wait to meet, Spot."
