So, hey, if you haven't heard. Attacks have been stepping up again in Domino. The Special Investigations department is trying to mitigate them as best we can, but for personal safety, try not to wander out alone in the evenings, and if you absolutely must, make sure you have a way to get to safety or to defend yourself.

In addition, anyone who has witnessed or been targeted by an attack is encouraged to step forward with any information they may recall. Every little bit helps.

We're going to have to speed track my little project for a test run, and soon. I can't catch this new threat with Gigantech power. Too slow.

[Private to Onee/Akuma]

Got a sneaking suspicion you two might be involved in an attack soon, be on your guard.

... Aren't you essentially ageless? You haven't aged a year for a long time, physically.

... Is that a common thing? The costume.

A Leprechaun with a big key? ... It knocked you out in your dream? That seems rather... Unusual.

Yes. It's called an excuse. Suzume says "They sense the crazy". I'm not crazy. I just don't want to be a loser like Jinn and well. Onni.

Yes, in girl's shows and comcs.

More or less. And it wore this stupid outfit.

It was like an asshole Key Mace.

What do you mean?

Oh. That's why I'm unaware of it.

... Ah. Shiroko. I want you to read something. http://keepersouha.dreamwidth.org/165036.html?thread=6039980&style=site#cmt6039980

It feels like it might be relevant to it being like a "Key Mace".

They're in their 20s and they act like a bunch of heroes from kid shows. It's embarassing.

I could show you pictures later...

... Hrm. Isn't there another Key Mace? A second one?

Ah, right... One moment...

"Brings out the worst in everyone"?

Yes, that one.

... I'm starting to get somewhat of an idea and picture as to things...

... Care to share your insights?

Perhaps whatever might've happened in your dream is now appearing in reality.

I'm not certain, but it wouldn't be outside of... General things that've occurred here.

...

So my dreams are attacking people?

Great.

I think I should just lock myself up in a box.

... Shiroko, if it is that, then doing that won't help.

Well, it's like my entire existence is nothing but trouble for everyone.

It's as I said. Everyone is at risk of such a thing happening. Not just yourself, Shiroko.

Then why does it happen to me so much more than it does to others?

Perhaps it is the expectation that it will happen to you, that draws it to you.

... Are you saying I think it will happen, so it does happen?

I'm not Noriko.

You're not Noriko, but belief in something can sometimes be powerful enough, that it causes a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Negative emotions, especially, can draw those who'd want to use that to you.

Real Life isn't a Magical Girl or Superhero story!

I don't really know what those are, so...

I am just saying, that by what usually happens here, it's not unusual.

I imagine if I dwell more upon my suggestibility, people would try to take more advantage of it too... and that would be bad.
