Academia?

[Oh, that's right... that cheerful voice hurts -- though whether physically or otherwise, Judai can't really tell -- and he turns his head again, trying to "look" at Sora even without being able to see.]

Just... let me go home already, okay...? This isn't funny anymore.

[He seems to have no idea how long he was out... nor does he seem to remember the incident just yet. The drugs really have played hell on his mind.]

[scissorbear]

[Sheesh... this guy really is out of it. How much is his usual silliness and how much is the drugs?]

That's not up to me anymore! The Professor says I have to get you under control. Besides, we don't have a way to send you back in time. They're studying that device, but there's been no developments yet.

[hyperhero]

Cronos?

[That's the only "professor" his addled mind can come up with, unfamiliar a name as it is to Sora. No... wrong Academia...]

I gotta go back anyway... everyone's waiting for me...

[scissorbear]

But you can't. It's impossible.

[He reaches up to pat his shoulder awkwardly.]

[hyperhero]

Is not. We got back here somehow... and that time thingie that it used got us there. So it's gotta be.

[scissorbear]

Are you seriously this disoriented? I just said! We don't know how to make it work. So it's impossible right now. Even if we were willing to let you go.

[hyperhero]

I'm not gonna fight. I don't duel to fight. Dueling's for fun and connecting to people. Not hurting them.

[scissorbear]

[He's just like Yuya... this stubborn fun-loving type.]

You will in the end. In the meantime... until you're willing to obey instructions, we've cut down your food supply.

[hyperhero]

What?!

[Oh, come on. That's just a kick below the belt, man. It seems to have helped cut through that fog, at least. He's getting more aware.]

Come on, Sora... you can't do that! I'm hungry...

[scissorbear]

I'd like to do otherwise, but after you wrecked the lab, it's just not happening.

Anyway, the scientists tested how much you'd need while you were out, so you won't die, but it's nowhere near the level you'd normally have.

[hyperhero]

...Huh? I did what?

[The food thing is important, but something about the way Sora says that first part unnerves him. Wrecked a lab...?]

[scissorbear]

...you don't remember? You went berserk and tried to kill the scientists there! You nearly broke the table and did break all the lights!

[hyperhero]

I... did...?

[That memory... yes, he can actually faintly recall it. That feeling of being afraid had been almost... out of him. He had been able to feel everything around him somehow. That darkness?]

I remember that... I didn't like the lights for some reason.

[So they'd shattered because he wanted them gone, even just instinctively?]

And I wanted to get off the table, so I knew the claws could break it, but...

[What had happened? Everything's some weird sort of mix of fuzzy and sharp, like the memory's somehow of the entirety of a room without any blind spots, yet all covered in some kind of foggy filter.]

I don't... remember trying to hurt anyone. I just wanted off.

[scissorbear]

Well... remember it or not, you did. That power of yours scared everyone a whole lot. And like I said... I'm not the one making the decisions here. So they want you to stay like this for a while.

[Didn't like the light...? Weird... that odd blackened magic seems to be very darkness-centric. Could it be actual darkness?]

[hyperhero]

[He hates that, but... if he really almost killed people, like Sora says -- and for all that he's doing, Sora is still his friend, so he has no reason to doubt him -- then he'd rather go hungry than actually have someone end up badly injured or worse.

Which is why his reply might shock the other boy, especially considering Judai's usual almost-addition to food.]

Alright.

[scissorbear]

Judai...?

[That easy agreement is not what he expected at all.]

[hyperhero]

I don't want anyone to get hurt. And I don't remember... I wouldn't have tried to kill anyone if I could help it! And if I did, that means I couldn't. So... if this is the way to keep me from doing that, then it's okay.

[At least for now, but... with his magic-ties and natural big-eater state, it's likely the lack of proper meals will get to him soon enough.]

[scissorbear]

Don't worry! Once we're sure you're safe, and you're not going to cause trouble, we'll let you get back to normal.

[What is that sound. Is he opening something? Candy?]

[hyperhero]

[It's enough to make Judai twitch a bit, his stomach protesting strongly enough that he bites down sharply on his lip. Oh come on, Sora... he knows you like that stuff, but don't torture him like this!]

They don't really do that... normally. I just don't know how to use them, so I guess... it got crazy when I got scared.

[scissorbear]

Hm...

[Something taps at his lips lightly.]

Say "Aah".

[hyperhero]

[...Wait, is that for him? Judai opens his mouth without any hesitation, clamping down on the treat so hard that Sora's fingers might've been taken too, if it weren't for the stick. It takes all his willpower not to crunch it to pieces immediately, but he's sucking so hard and desperately on it that it's almost cute.]

[scissorbear]

[He laughs a little. That's adorable... The sweet is one of his own stock, super delicious and sweet.]

That's for agreeing.

[hyperhero]

Mrpgng.

[It's the only reply Sora gets as Judai continues to focus on the candy, the agony in his stomach easing a little at the taste of food, however junky, being given to it.

Even if he was willing to agree on that to dampen his powers... that hunger is just too much to really be denied when there's food near like this.]

[scissorbear]

[Realizing he's about to swallow the stick, he snaps it off, tugging it away... and licks the sugary remnants off of it.]

If you're good and let the scientists run their tests, I'll give you more.

[hyperhero]

[He gives a disappointed, almost desperate whine when the stick is pulled away -- he wanted that too, dammit, as unwilling as it would have been. But he lifts his head a little bit as Sora talks, nodding weakly.]

I can do that.
